Chapter 268: The Emperor of the People wants to conquer the world
The Spirit Bone Zen Master was shocked when he heard this, and he was even more sure that Feng Yue was the reincarnation of a great Buddhist sect. I sincerely asked: "There are 480 million living beings in the water, how did you think of this?"
"What the eye sees!" said Fain innocently, pouting.
"The Buddha has the eyes of the flesh, the eyes of the Dharma, the eyes of the wisdom and the eyes of the Buddha, the eyes of the flesh to observe the worldly beings, the eyes of the Dharma to observe the cause and effect of all beings, the eyes of the Buddha to see the past and the future, and the eyes of the Buddha to penetrate the Dharma of the world. The Linggu Zen Master couldn't help but think of such a scripture that describes the power of the Buddha.
"You see that there are hundreds of millions of sentient beings in the droplets, what do those squacks look like?" asked the Spirit Bone Zen Master step by step.
"Ignorance, confusion. Indescribable, not humanoid. "Fain didn't study either, but he listened to them recite Buddhist scriptures every day, and what they said was actually literary.
"Good. After hearing that it was not humanoid, the Spirit Bone Zen Master seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"But there are other things we haven't taught you. The Spirit Bone Zen Master continued to ask.
Fain raised his head and replied ignorantly: "There are a lot of them, but I don't know what they mean." ”
As soon as I heard this, I knew that my previous conjecture was not wrong, but I didn't publicize it, but told Fayin not to say this to others.
"Got it, master, do you want porridge?" Fain asked, taking his bowl with it.
"No need, you can drink it yourself, and don't forget to come and listen to me after drinking. The Spirit Bone Zen Master said kindly, and then left.
Fain didn't care, puffing and drinking the gruel in the coarse porcelain bowl, with two pieces of pickles, which was also delicious.
But the idea that I didn't need to eat often came to my mind, but then it was overshadowed by the hunger in my stomach.
After drinking the porridge in the bowl, you have to put your feet on the plate to get the bowl and then go to the well to wash it.
Fa Hui took the coarse porcelain bowl from his hand and said with a smile: "I'll come, you hurry up and go over there to occupy a place for me!"
"Okay, thank you, brother, I'll go. When Fain heard this, he hurried to the side of the main hall, anxious to get a good seat for him, lest he hear it untruthfully, and for a moment forgot his thoughts of finding a remote corner where he could sleep.
"Senior Brother Fa Hui, come here!" After a while, when Fa Hui rushed here, Fa Yin hurriedly beckoned.
"Here we go!"
Today's talk is about the Sutra on Sudra, which is the sutra of the World-Honored One explaining the state of Sudra's attainment. The vast majority of novice monks do not understand it, but they are familiar with it for the time being.
Fa Yin listened to it for a while and then fell asleep, and involuntarily began to run the two methods of his own cultivation, and then entered a deep level of concentration.
On the edge of the stupa at the back of the Great Zen Temple, the Spirit Bone Zen Master said to an old monk stationed in the stupa at the far left: "Elder Gu Di, I can almost be sure about the matter of Fa Yin, but I don't know how to deal with it?"
The old monk in the relics pagoda has a thin body, his face is quite wrinkled, and only a pair of eyes are still very clear. Dressed in a gray robe, without any ornamentation, with neither Buddhist beads nor prayer beads, he was sitting cross-legged on a futon woven of withered grass.
After listening to Ling Gu's words, his expression changed slightly, and then he looked up at him and said, "Since you are a senior who has cultivated for many lifetimes, you should not interfere more with him, as long as you don't violate the precepts, everything is up to him."
What we think, think, and interpret is not the truth, and we cannot forcibly indoctrinate it. In the future, when I preach to him, I don't have to say the Dharma, just the original text. ”
"It's easy, but I don't know when he'll really wake up. I talked to him today, and I found that he was able to remember some of the past by this time, but it was only the scriptures and the like, and he still didn't know anything else. The Spirit Bone Zen Master continued.
"This is normal, my predecessors of Buddhism, generally after entering reincarnation, will wash away more than half of the memories of the past, only retain the understanding of the essence of Buddhism, and leave nothing else. It is precisely in this way that we can attain all kinds of fruits through the practice of successive lifetimes. Elder Gu Di said thoughtfully.
"Then, wouldn't there be something wrong with me accepting him as a disciple? ”
"It doesn't matter, they are all on the path of enlightenment, and there is no difference between superior and inferior. ”
After this conversation, Fain's life was even more leisurely, and he didn't have so much homework on weekdays, and if he hadn't been afraid of being too lenient with him, he would have been disliked by the other monks, and he would have been let go long ago.
Fa Yin did not live up to his treatment, the understanding and recitation of all Buddhist scriptures have long surpassed his peers, and even his peers, plus as he gets older, he remembers more and more things in his mind, although he has no memory of anything before, but he remembers a lot of various Buddhist scriptures and secret methods.
So on weekdays, even at the debate meeting, I can say a few words.
On this day, while sweeping the fallen leaves on the edge of the steps, I saw a senior brother running up in a hurry. Fain grabbed him and asked curiously, "Senior brother, why are you so anxious today? Is something wrong?"
"Senior Brother Fayin, there are distinguished guests coming from outside the temple, so I hurriedly came over to inform the abbot of them, so that I don't panic when I get it. The senior brother hurriedly said, and then broke free from Fain's hand and hurried away to report the news.
"There have been many times when distinguished guests have come before, why haven't I seen my senior brother so flustered? Who is coming this time?" Fa Yin thought curiously, but he had never been out of the temple, and how did he know what was going on outside, so he could only know a little bit from some rumors.
It happened that today's cleaning was completed, so I put the broom in its original position, and then sneaked to the front yard, just came to the front yard, and before I had time to touch it, I was picked up by Lingtong: "Who let your kid run over, aren't you sweeping the steps? Why, it's done." ”
"I came here when I was done, wasn't I curious!" Fain said with a pout.
"Okay, you come in with me, don't talk, just look curious, you know?"
"Well, Uncle Shi, I won't be able to speak. Fain replied in the affirmative. Then he followed Lingtong and walked into the place where the guests were entertained in front.
"I've seen the abbot. "In front of others, you have to be serious, so you can't call me senior brother, or call me abbot in a proper manner.
Seeing that he was wearing a small tail behind him, the Spirit Bone Zen Master didn't say anything, just motioned for him to sit down on the side. Then he continued to say to the young man who came with a face like a crown of jade and smooth cheeks: "How could Your Majesty give such an order, the exercises of each faction are the foundation established by each faction, how can it be sent for no reason. ”
"How do I know this, this seat is just following the instructions from above, and is only responsible for collecting the secret methods of martial arts of various factions, as for the rest, including explanations and the like, I am not in charge, if you have the ability, go to Beijing and ask in person." The tone was soft and sharp, and he said casually with the orchid finger in his left hand.
"Abbot, what's going on?" As soon as Lingtong heard this, he knew that the matter was really unusual, and if he didn't handle it well, if he was not careful, he would break down the door and destroy the temple.
"I wonder if other sects have gains?" the Spirit Bone Zen Master continued to ask.
"Your family is the sixth home I have come to, and there are both cooperative and uncooperative people in front of me. However, whether he cooperates or not, there is nothing he can't get if he wants anything above. The man picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a strange tone.
"I don't know if there is a standard?" asked the Spirit Bone Zen Master with a long sigh.
"I don't embarrass you about this, after all, it's not easy for everyone, but no matter what, at least your famous martial arts secrets must be a lot, as for the others, just add one or two books, and I don't care how much. The man saw that the Spirit Bone Zen Master showed signs of relenting, and his tone was not so bitter, but with some persuasion and helplessness.
Hearing this, the Spirit Bone Zen Master breathed a sigh of relief. Although there are many precious martial arts secrets that have been passed down abroad, the truly unique secret things have never been heard of outside at all, even inside the temple, only a very small number of people know about them.
"Senior Brother Lingtong, you go to the scripture pavilion in the backyard and bring out a copy of the scripture that meets the requirements. The Spirit Bone Zen Master commanded.
"Yes, Abbot. After saying that, he got up and took his leave, and did not forget to take Fain with him. Fain didn't really understand anything, but knew that the man had come to ask for something. I also remember Lingtong telling him not to speak.
So I waited until I got out of the guest room before asking, "Uncle Shi, is he here to make a fate?"
Lingtong, who was still a little depressed, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then touched his head: "You should be like this, haven't you always wanted to go to the Scripture Pavilion to see? ”
As soon as the words fell, he picked up the Fa Cause and ran straight to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Although the speed is not as good as shrinking the soil into inches, it is dozens of times faster than the general light work.
After entering the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I went straight to a secret room at the back, turned a bronze lotus cup, and saw a bookshelf moving slowly, revealing a portal behind. A ray of light that was not sunlight illuminated the entire space.
"Lingtong, why are you here?" a voice came from where the light source appeared. Fain looked at the place carefully, and it was an old monk sitting there, glowing with the lamp he was holding in his left hand.
The lantern is in the shape of a lotus, stacked on top of each other for a total of more than a dozen layers, and the center is not a flame, but a silver-white pearl with a drop of light, which is like a night pearl, exuding a faint light, which illuminates the whole space clearly but not dazzlingly.
"Venerable Watara, I'm here to get some copies of the scriptures. Today's emperor wants many sects in the world to contribute exercises, and if he doesn't obey, he will be killed.
The abbot saw that what he had asked for was not very important, and did not want to have many disputes, so he sent me to get a copy for him. Lingtong explained what had just happened to him.
