This is a courtyard that is not big or small, a bit like the courtyard in Beijing, a trip to the main house, on both sides of each side of a trip to the north-south side of the wing, the front is a courtyard wall made of blue bricks, and there is a small gatehouse next to the gate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Huo Xiaoshan was sitting on the stool in the gatehouse with Murong Pei at this time, looking at the courtyard behind him through the window.

When the two of them arrived at Song Zijun's residence, Li's mother told them that the young grandmother was not at home and was playing Buddha Qi elsewhere, so the two of them rushed here again.

There were still a few people sitting in the gatehouse, but they were all dressed as servants or something, very well-behaved, there was no sign of impatience, and the voices were very quiet.

"What is playing 'Buddha Seven'?" Murong Pei asked Huo Xiaoshan quietly.

"Well, in the Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha said, 'If there are good men and good women. Hear about Amitabha. Hold on to the name. If one day. If two days. If three days. If four days. If five days. If six days. If seven days. Undisturbed. When the person is dying. Amitabha. with the Congregation of All Saints. Now before that. It is the end of time. The mind is not turned upside down. That is, to be reborn in the land of Amitabha Buddha's bliss. ’

The meaning of beating the Buddha Seven is to recite the holy name of Amitabha Buddha for seven days without confusion as stated in the scriptures, because this cause is planted, and when you are dying, you will be able to be reborn in the Western Paradise. ”

Huo Xiaoshan has been reciting Buddha since he was a child, so he still knows how to fight Buddha Seven.

"Oh." Murong Pei nodded as he listened, "On the way from the northeast, I also chanted Buddha when you weren't with me. But I can't figure out what Amitabha Buddha is and where Elysium is. Tell me about it. ”

"Shakyamuni Buddha is the Buddha of our world, and he said that a long time ago, a Dharma Tibetan monk made a great vow, saying, 'When I was a Buddha. There are no central numbers in the ten directions, and the people of the heavens of the world. I believe in the joy of my heart. Ten recitations of my name will lead to the next life. However, the five evils and slander the Fa-rectification are removed. It must not be a wish not to be a Buddha in the end. ’

And Shakyamuni Buddha said in "The Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra" that the Tibetan bhikshu has become a Buddha and is called Amitabha Buddha, which proves that Amitabha Buddha's great wish is true, that is, as long as you sincerely recite the Buddha and do not disturb your mind, you can be reborn in the Western Paradise at the end of your life. This is the origin of the people you see now who believe in Buddhism reciting Amitabha. ”

"Oh, where is Elysium?" Murong Pei asked.

"Didn't Shakyamuni Buddha say, 'From the West.' Over 10 trillion Buddha land. There is a world name called Bliss, and its land has a Buddha, called Amitabha. Huo Xiaoshan replied.

"Ten trillion Buddha land, so far away." Murong Pei said.

Murong Pei's attitude towards Buddha is different from Huo Xiaoshan's, in Murong Pei's opinion, learning Buddhism is a good thing, but it is only as a spiritual belief, and it is only recited when it is extremely dangerous.

For example, that time when Huo Xiaoshan was chased and killed by devils in Jinxiu Buxing, she would only chant Buddha when she did not show up for several days and her life and death were uncertain, which can also be called the kind of temporary Buddha's feet.

"Pure land of idealism, pure heart is the world of bliss is right in front of you, isn't the dirt of the heart outside the ten trillion Buddha lands. Hehe. Huo Xiaoshan smiled when he heard Murong Pei say this.

"Don't talk about this, I don't understand it anyway." Murong Pei stopped the topic, "Hey, it seems that Buddha Seven is over, someone has come out." Murong Pei pointed behind him.

Huo Xiaoshan looked into the courtyard through the window, and sure enough, someone had already come out.

"Let's go, let's see my mother." Huo Xiaoshan jumped up, and Murong Pei followed closely behind.

Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei went straight into the east wing, and saw that there were seven people inside cleaning up the futons on the ground, but they didn't see their mother Song Zijun.

Huo Xiaoshan was about to leave, but was attracted by a painting of Buddha on the wall.

This painting should reflect the initial enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha, not the golden statue of the six golden bodies in the temple, nor does it show all kinds of magical powers.

I saw the Buddha sitting on the lotus seat under the Bodhi tree with both hands in a double cross, holding his hair in a bun, his eyes drooping slightly, and his face showed a slight smile.

Wild flowers grew around him, and the Ganges River flowed not far behind him, and the white snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The path of enlightenment is a story full of legends.

When he was a prince, he saw the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, and saw all living beings devouring each other, and he had great compassion to find a way to liberate himself, so he left the throne and ran away, visited famous teachers, studied hard, and thought that he had not obtained the ultimate truth of the world.

After doing penance in the snowy mountains, I found that penance was not the solution to the doubts in my heart.

So after bathing in the Ganges, he received milk from a shepherdessman and regained his strength.

He made a vow on the Bodhi tree by the Ganges River to attain Bodhi, and then sat down in meditation, and then saw the stars on the night of Laba and became a Buddha.

After the fruition, he preached the scriptures and spoke for forty-nine years, purifying all sentient beings.

The Buddha in this painting gave Huo Xiaoshan a feeling, an indescribable but extremely cordial, a feeling that was beyond the world but not that kind of lofty feeling.

Isn't the Buddha affectionate? Doesn't the Buddha eat the fireworks of the world? By no means, in his faint smile, Huo Xiaoshan felt his transparency and harmony with all things, and felt his tolerance and compassion for all sentient beings, it was an absolute compassion that words could not express, and there was no enemy in his eyes.

He has experienced war and peace, killing and friendliness, robbery and almsgiving, private and public, prosperity and loneliness, suffering and happiness, utilitarianism and indifference...... But none of this stopped the Buddha's smile, and those things that were like mountains and seas in front of the world, and those things that were as incompatible as the tip of the needle to the wheat and mang, did not cause the slightest stagnation to the Buddha's smile!

Undoubtedly, he transcended the understanding of the world, and reached a state that ordinary human thoughts could not experience, so that the entire space, space and universe melted into his faint but eternal smile like a dream bubble.

"Who are you looking for, little layman?"

A question woke Huo Xiaoshan up from his perception of the Buddha, and saw that in front of him was a man dressed in sea green, in his forties, with an amiable face.

"Come to my mother." Huo Xiaoshan replied.

"It's called Song Zijun." Murong Pei added beside him.

"Oh. The seven Buddhas in the east wing are all men, and the women are all in the west wing opposite. The man said with a smile.

"Thank you." Huo Xiaoshan said very politely, and Fang was about to leave but was stopped by the man.

"Wait, my little friend looks at you dressed like this, are you a student of the Whampoa Military Academy?" The man looked at Huo Xiaoshan and asked.

"Yes, but I'm an auditor, not a full-fledged student." Huo Xiaoshan replied while looking at this person with strange eyes. he

I secretly thought in my heart that it was true that he was wearing the military uniform of the Whampoa students, but how did he know that I was a military cadet, but if he asked the military academy, he should also ask if he was a student of the Central Military Academy, why should he ask if he was from the Whampoa Military Academy.

Although the Southern Central Military Academy and the Whampoa Military Academy are in the same line, the people of the time always call the Central Military Academy the Nanjing Military Academy, and very few people call it the Whampoa Military Academy.

The man seemed to see Huo Xiaoshan's puzzlement, and smiled and pointed to the first button of Huo Xiaoshan's shirt.

"Oh." Huo Xiaoshan suddenly realized.

Because the first button of the regular uniform worn by the military cadets when they go out is molded with the bust of President Jiang's uniform. Zhou Liebao said that this is called the leader's elephant emblem, which is used to remind us to abide by the leader's will at all times.

"What a leader's will." The man looked at Huo Xiaoshan's buttons and whispered a word, and then looked out the window, as if he was thinking about something and remembering something.

Huo Xiaoshan quietly looked at the person in front of him, and in his eyes, he felt as if he felt something, it was a kind of temperament unique to a soldier, that standing straight body, and that occasional sharp eyes.

"You two kids are really good enough to find here." When Huo Xiaoshan turned around, he saw Song Zijun, who was also wearing sea blue, walking in from outside the door, looking at him with soft and loving eyes.

Murong Pei was following behind, grimacing at him, it turned out that when he was talking to this person, Murong Pei had already found Song Zijun in another room.

"Mother!" Huo Xiaoshan smiled and snuggled up to Song Zijun's side.

"They are taller than their mothers, and they are like children." Song Zijun said with a smile.

It has been several years since Song Zijun returned to his hometown in Nanjing after the drastic changes in the mountain village, and he only eats fasting and recites Buddha every day.

Now the temperament of the whole person is not only different from the healthy mountain village women in the northeast forest area, nor is it different from the long-term bookish fragrance of the family, but a kind of peace and tranquility, as if the fairy who has no quarrel with the world, although beautiful but people can not blaspheme.

Song Zijun looked at Huo Xiaoshan lovingly, and couldn't help but think of the situation when Huo Xiaoshan appeared in front of him as if he had fallen from the sky a few months ago.

Between the eyebrows, which have become wider, the speech is no longer as immature as when he left home, but there is a trace of roughness in it.

Sometimes it is as quiet as a pool of water, no different from an adult, but when he is naughty and naughty, he smiles and comes back as if he was a child.

Over the years, Song Zijun has believed in Buddhism, and reciting the Buddha is extremely pious, even in his spare time, the Buddha number is more than in his heart, and he has reached the realm of not reading it.

It was only at the moment when Huo Xiaoshan returned to him that he lost his mind. In the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, the ideal state is to chant the Buddha name constantly, and the history is clear, if the mind forgets the Buddha name due to delusions, this phenomenon is called loss of thought.

"Sister Zijun, is this Ling Lang?" The middle-aged man who was talking to Huo Xiaoshan just now stepped forward and greeted Song Zijun.

"yes. Xiaoshanzi, call Uncle Shi quickly. Murong Pei was obviously very familiar with that person, and he was busy responding, while letting Huo Xiaoshan step forward to say hello

"Uncle Shi." Huo Xiaoshan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully.

"It's really terrifying, looking at him makes me temporarily lose my mind, remembering when I was in the military academy." The man sighed.

"Military Academy?" Huo Xiaoshan paused, and then looked at the person carefully.

"Shi Haiqing, the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy." The man suddenly straightened his waist, and the fierce color that had only flickered occasionally just now became rich.
