When Xiude and Zhao Yarui walked around the temple, the pilgrims stared at them, one was a noble and gorgeous beauty, and the other was an old and solemn monk, and the two became a wonderful scenery in the ancient temple.

Xiude also led Zhao Yarui to Tallinn in the back mountain to burn incense, and when he left Tallinn and walked down the mountain, Xiude thought: "Time flies so fast, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva have worshipped, and the female benefactor is about to leave, I don't know why, the old man is a little reluctant, I haven't felt like this for many years!"

Just thinking about it, Xiude suddenly had an idea, and said to Zhao Yarui: "Female benefactor, aren't you going to come to read the scriptures tomorrow?

"Great, the little woman was thinking of asking the master to take me to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to see, I didn't expect the master to propose to build a pavilion first, it's really a good heart, good, let's go, please!" In fact, Zhao Yarui's most interested thing is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, when she heard that Xiude was going to take him there, she was very happy, and secretly thought in her heart: "Thank you for taking the initiative to cooperate, this is exactly where I want to go the most!"

"The benefactor is so beautiful...... Noble people will definitely look more outstanding in the library pavilion, and the elegant environment of the library will set off the female benefactor to be more noble and elegant!" Xiu De wanted to say, "The donor is so beautiful ......", but then realized that he was not calm, and hurriedly changed his words, but the word "beautiful" had already been said, he felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to face Zhao Yarui.

Zhao Yarui carefully observed the layout in the scripture pavilion, and saw that there were nearly 30 bookcases, storing many scriptures, among them, there were two bookcases on the scriptures, the packaging was particularly exquisite, she walked to the two bookcases, and asked: "Master, why are these two cabinets of scriptures particularly precious? Are they more important scriptures?"

Xiude said: "These books are either relatively old books or scriptures with more important contents, so they are treasured in camphor wood and oak bookcases, one is to protect the scriptures, and the other is to show respect for these books!"

"Is there all the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion, are there also sub-books of the earthly academic world, history books, or others?" asked Zhao Yarui.

"The vast majority of them are scriptures, there are also a small number of historical books, and as for the sub-books of the previous dynasties, there are very few!" replied Xiude.

"Master, can the little girl take it out and take a look?" Zhao Yarui asked politely.

"Of course, please look at it as you please!" replied Xiude.

Zhao Yarui took out a wooden box that looked very old, opened it and saw that it was "Amitayus Sutra", she looked through it, put it back, and took out another box, which was "Amitabha Sutra", and then looked at a few boxes, all of which were Buddhist scriptures. He went to another few bookcases and looked at them, and asked Xiude, "There are so many scriptures, can you read them all?"

Xiude replied: "How much you read the scriptures is not the most important thing, the important thing is to practice enlightenment, sincerity, the Buddha's realm is clear, sincerely worship the Buddha, the Buddha is in the heart, chanting the scriptures is also practice, and the practice lies in returning to the Buddha!"

"The master is right, sincerely bowing to the Buddha is the most important thing! The little girl will have to ask the master for advice in the future!" Zhao Yarui said with understanding. While talking to Xiude, she looked around the Scripture Pavilion and thought: "The Scripture Pavilion is a place where many monks can enter, and there must be no secret books hidden on these bookcases, are there any other organs and secret rooms?"

Zhao Yarui said: "Let the master stand with him like this all the time, if you are uneasy, you just sit on that chair and rest, and the little woman will see for herself!"

"Okay, the female donor invites you, the old monk will ask the apprentice to make tea, and let the female donor also take a break to taste tea!" As he spoke, he walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Zhao Yarui went out by Xiude, and hurriedly looked around, she wanted to find out if there was any secret room, he carefully observed the bookcases and every wall, and did not find anything suspicious, with her investigation experience, if there were secrets, it would be difficult to escape her eyes.

"Female donor, please come and have a cup of tea! This is the Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain, fragrant and sweet, please have a taste!" Xiude said after entering the door.

Zhao Yarui walked to the table, took the teacup handed over by Xiude, and said gratefully: "I caused trouble to the master, and I went out of my way to make good tea, thank you very much!"

The two of them were in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, while sipping tea, while talking about reading the scriptures and chanting the scriptures, it was almost noon in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yarui got up to say goodbye, Xiude said: "Lunch time is coming, the female benefactor may wish to stay, and enjoy the vegetarian meal in the Xiangji Kitchen in the Evil Temple, which is also a kind of practice, I don't know if the female donor appreciates the light?"

"Thank you for the master's invitation, but the little woman has already said to the house, she must go back at noon, the master's mind, the little woman received it in her heart, and I will bother the master in the future, I will leave today, thank you!" Zhao Yarui thought to herself: "If you want to hurry, you can't be too active, you must indulge in what you want, and things have to be done slowly to get it done." ”

After Zhao Yarui left, Xiude returned to his meditation room, he calmly pondered the matter of today's female benefactor Zhao Yarui coming to the temple to donate, on the one hand, he thought: "This Zhao Yarui came strangely, why did she come at this time? did not mention the donation in advance, the first time she went to Jing'an Temple, she donated 500 taels, a little strange, could she have another purpose? Could it be that another explorer? Could it be that a certain faction in the rivers and lakes has sent people to 'visit' the ancient temple?" On the other hand, he thought: " This Zhao Yarui is dressed nobly, her words and deeds are decent and elegant, she is knowledgeable, and judging from her standing posture, she is light and elegant, not like a person who practices martial arts, and does not have the posture of Jianghu people. Momentum, maybe I'm too careful, maybe she is really on the order of her father to donate, look at the kind of pious appearance of her Buddha, the Buddha is enlightened, this is the people of the rivers and lakes can not pretend, the ancient temple is lonely, there can be such an elegant and beautiful female benefactor to recite the scriptures, it is also good, not to mention, she is with five hundred taels of silver, so don't doubt her first, teach her to recite the scriptures, if she has ulterior motives, it is not too late to deal with her after discovery. ”

Xiude thought clearly, so he leaned back in his chair and wanted to rest for a while, but he always had the charming and elegant image of Zhao Yarui in front of him, and it was difficult for his heart to calm down.

The next day, after the morning meal, Zhao Yarui came to Jing'an Temple again, there was already a little monk waiting outside the temple gate, he saw Zhao Yarui coming, so he greeted him and said: "Female donor, the disciple is ordered by the master, waiting for the female benefactor here, the master invites you to the guest hall, he is waiting for you there, please come with me!"

"Thank you, little master, please!" Zhao Yarui said.

"Welcome female donor, please come in!" Xiude was already waiting for Zhao Yarui in the guest hall, and he said enthusiastically.

"I'm bothering the master again, please forgive me!" Zhao Yarui said politely.

"Please sit down and have a cup of tea!" Xiude said: "The female benefactor came to the temple today, did she want to start chanting the scriptures?"

"Listen to the master's instructions, the little girl doesn't understand how to recite the scriptures, please ask the master for more advice!" Zhao Yarui said.

"In Jing'an Temple, on important days or when there are important events, the monks hold a grand chanting ceremony in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, usually, the monks are chanting in the meditation hall behind the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and Zhao Shizhu is a lady, it is inconvenient in the meditation hall, the old man thinks, the female benefactor is still alone in one place to chant the scriptures, so the old monk rearranged the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, vacated a place, let the female benefactor recite the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, every morning, the old monk let the monks in the temple not be allowed to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so that the female donor concentrates on chanting, do you see it?" Xiude said his Jianyì.

"The little girl has caused trouble to the temple, and she really can't help it, so I will listen to the master's arrangement, and the little woman will thank you!" Zhao Yarui said.

"I wonder how many days the female benefactor wants to recite the scriptures in the temple?" Xiude asked.

"The little girl plans to recite the Seven Days' Prayer in the temple, I don't know if it's convenient?

"Okay! For the past seven days, every morning you have been chanting in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the old man will take you over for a while and tell you how to recite the scriptures, hoping to help the female benefactor!"

Xiude led Zhao Yarui to the Scripture Pavilion, and Zhao Yarui found that a place was vacated on the left, a table was arranged, and the scriptures were placed, and there was a golden lotus mat on the floor below, which looked clean and elegant.

"The female donor, please sit down, you need to know some methods for chanting the scriptures, the old monk will tell you, if the female donor already knows, it should be the old monk who is verbose!" Xiu De said.

"The little girl doesn't understand the chanting, please ask the master for advice!" Zhao Yarui said.

"This is the "Great Compassion Mantra", "Heart Sutra", and "Great Confession of the Buddha", please take a look at the female benefactor!" Xiude handed the three scriptures to Zhao Yarui, and then continued: "Generally, everyone recites the "Great Compassion Mantra" three to seven times a day, recites the "Heart Sutra" seven times, and the "Heart Sutra" is only recited during the day, and recites the "Great Confession of the Buddha" three to seven times. If you are reciting sutras for your father, you can recite the Great Compassion Mantra seven times, the Heart Sutra seven times, and the Great Confession of the Buddha seven times a day, and before chanting, you can say, 'Please bless my father xxx (your father's name)...... (Say what you expect to be blessed)'. ”

"The little girl remembered, thank you for the master's advice!"

Xiude continued: "The most important thing in chanting the scriptures is sincerity, only sincerity, sincerity, can be effective, that is, the so-called 'sincerity is spiritual', when chanting the scriptures, it is best to divide the eyes three apart, seven closed, seem to see but not see, so that you can neither feel tired, nor be disturbed by the surroundings." When reciting sutras, the main thing is to recite the 'mind', and the sound of the recitation is secondary, and it is better to read it out loud, but not to hear it, that is, to recite the voice of one's own heart. If you use the prayer beads to distract your mind when reciting the scriptures, then you don't need the prayer beads, and if you can concentrate more with the prayer beads, then use the prayer beads, the main thing is to be sincere and single-minded. ”

"Listen to the master's teachings! The little girl must study seriously and recite the scriptures!" Zhao Yarui said sincerely

Xiude continued: "The best way to recite the sutras with sincerity is to take all six roots, that is to say, the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are sealed with the mind, so that the heart only has pure thoughts, and the mind is free from delusions. ”

"It turns out that this is the 'Six Roots of Purity', the little girl has seen it, thank you for the master's teaching!" Zhao Yarui said happily.
