Chapter 699: Dharma
Early the next morning, Seinfeld walked out of the Tianque Palace, followed by Qin Shihu and the other four. γStarterγ
Then, a large number of monks flew out of Seinfeld's portal, and then spread like locusts throughout the entire territory of Leiyin Temple.
Among these people were the original brothers of the Heavenly Sword Sect, as well as the people of the Dragon Group and the Yang Clan, and almost the entire Yang Clan was dispatched.
Except for the Qilin and its subordinates, almost all the people who could move were dispatched, and the demon beasts did not move, mainly because Seinfeld was worried that they would be vicious, in case he saw a large number of mortals and low-level monks when he went out, once he ate a few of them, he would be in trouble.
After sending hundreds of people out, Song Fei led Qin Shihu, Jun Wanshuang and Qin Xiaoru to fly towards Leiyin Temple again.
At the door of the Leiyin Temple, Forget Yan seemed to know that Song Fei was coming, and when Song Fei arrived, Forget Yan was already waiting for the door.
Seinfeld immediately landed beside Wu Yan, and said with an extremely enthusiastic attitude: "Oh, Master Wu Yan, why did you come out to greet you, the junior is really too careless, you are a senior monk of Buddhism." β
"Amitabha. "Forget to say and fold your hands together, "Yesterday I heard that the donor will continue to worship the Buddha, and a poor monk and idler can lead the way for the donor and spread the compassion of my Buddha, which can be regarded as a great merit." β
Seinfeld sneered in his heart, if you, the presiding officer of the Discipline Academy, are also idlers, I'm afraid there will be no busy people in the entire Leiyin Temple.
Seinfeld still said enthusiastically: "In this way, I really can't help it, and I have been with you, isn't this a blessing for the younger generation?"
"The donor is too worried, I am a person who cultivates the Buddha, there is no big or small, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal. Forget to say lightly.
"Well, Master of Trouble. Seinfeld said, "I don't know where to worship today." β
"To the east of Leiyin Temple, there is a 35 Buddha Temple, which supports 35 Buddhas and all the disciples and Bodhisattvas, why don't you go there to see. Forget to say.
"Wonderful, wonderful. Seinfeld laughed, "Master, please." β
"Donor, please. β
The Thirty-five Buddhas are the most famous of the thirty-five Buddhas in Buddhism, and the first is the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha. And the most familiar Buddha is also among these 35 Buddhas, that is, the 31st ranked Buddha of Fighting and Defeating.
In the Buddhist texts, the Buddha means an enlightened person, a person who understands all the true meaning and sees through all confusion, yes, a human being.
Buddhas never think of themselves as superior, they are equal beings like all living beings, and in the human world, they claim to be human beings, but enlightened people. It is a little different from the ordinary people who are still immersed in confusion, attachment and ignorance, because they are not bothered by greed and hatred, nothing more.
Therefore, if you want to become a Buddha, you must rely on your own comprehension, and the method of comprehension is in the Buddhist scriptures. A Buddha is enlightened by himself, even if he is guided by a Buddha and Bodhisattva, he also needs his own enlightenment, and a foolish person cannot become a Buddha.
In addition to being greedy and ignorant, the Buddha will not care about the incense and gold and silver in the mortal world, and those who worship the Buddha worship the Buddha, worship the wisdom of the Buddha, and should not be faith.
And if you want to make a fortune by worshiping the Buddha and being promoted, it is even more of a fool's dream, if you pay tribute to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva will bless you to be promoted and make a fortune, so what is the difference between the Buddha and the corrupt official.
Therefore, in the ancient Chinese of Seinfeld's previous life, ordinary people who were profound in Buddhism were not monks who recited the scriptures bitterly, but were often lay people who watched the court after leaving office. And people who are detached from the red dust often experience the ups and downs of the red dust, taste all kinds of life, and once have an epiphany, they are at ease.
"So master, you who cultivate Buddhism must go to the mortal world to practice, see the various states of the world, taste the life of all races, and then taste the Dharma, right?" Seinfeld asked while saluting the Buddha.
"Exactly, although the scriptures are the treasure of my Buddhism, but just reciting the scriptures, you can't read the Buddha, and the real enlightenment is still looking for it in the red dust. For all of Seinfeld's questions about Buddhism, he answered them very seriously and with a very devout attitude.
"Then Master, you have been traveling in the red dust for a long time. Seinfeld said.
"For 1,780 years, I was just a foot monk. Forget to say.
"Oh, so how did the master travel, and did he have disciples with him?" Seinfeld asked curiously.
Forget to smile and say: "A hundred clothes, a pair of grass shoes, a dervishes, such as wish." β
"Can you use mana?" Seinfeld said.
"A pair of feet is enough. Forget to say.
Seinfeld couldn't help but think of a monk who obviously had mana, but he only wore a shabby monk's robe that had been patched and mended, walked on his feet, and relied on karma to eat, and if he was walking in the wilderness, he could only rush to the bottom of the tree to take shelter when it was raining and windy.
With such a difficult life experience of nearly 2,000 years, people without great perseverance can't do it at all, and this perseverance is worthy of Seinfeld's admiration.
"By the way, Master, I'll ask you about it again. Seinfeld asked.
"Amitabha, as long as it is the Dharma, the poor monk knows everything and speaks endlessly. Forget the dust and said with a Buddha horn.
Seinfeld inserted three sticks of incense into an incense burner, and simply bowed to the Pure Buddha among the thirty-five Buddhas, then turned around and said, "I heard that you Buddhism cultivates goodness, and you also mentioned before that cultivating Buddha is liberation, and this goodness and liberation don't seem to be the same thing." β
"Amitabha. Wu Yan explained very seriously, "My Buddha pays attention to cause and effect, what cause is sown, what effect is obtained, and it is a kind of merit, and in exchange for good fortune." And if you do bad things and evil things, you will have bad retribution. Donor, the poor monk will tell you a story. β
"Okay, the younger generation likes to listen to stories the most. Seinfeld said.
Forget to say: "There is a couple, gave birth to a very cute and delicate baby boy, outside the delivery room, many relatives to the male host, congratulations to him for giving birth to such a delicate and lovely baby boy full of spirituality, when the baby was held in front of a monk, the monk suddenly shouted: 'This child is not your blessing, but to collect debts, your husband and wife are not killing chickens for a living'.
The man opened the baby's swaddling clothes, only to find that the baby's lower body was thin and twisted, like a hairless chicken. The monk said, because you and your wife have killed a lot of chickens, you have been retributed in this life, and the money you earn from killing chickens needs to be repaid to this child, and you not only can't enjoy the child's support in this life, but you have to work for him all your life. This is the debt you pay to the chickens after you kill them. β
After finishing speaking, he forgot to say: "Donor, do you understand?"
Seinfeld thought for a moment and said, "That's just a mortal, could it be that the Buddha is also afraid of this kind of retribution?
