There was silence among the magicians at the scene, and no one was speechless. Shen Fengshu had already told a story, but this story... how to tell it? Every successful magician knows that the ignorant village woman who cannot read is basically a story. I didn’t have the opportunity to listen to the master’s teachings up close and clearly, but these people are very
Many, if a person is extremely pious and listens to the teachings of a certain mage from a distance, this kind of thing may not happen.
Is it more important to recite sutras without making a single mistake, or is it more important to maintain a sincere heart to worship the Buddha? Is this a problem?
But as a mage who has followed the rules and almost never made a mistake since he started practicing, I feel indescribably awkward about this story.
Are scriptures important? Of course they are! Can they make mistakes? Of course not! This was what they had thought before, and it was also the reason why the mages remained silent after the rude mage said it.
But can you say that the old woman in the story is wrong? Is it because she is illiterate? Or is it because she has worked hard for thirty years?
If they were the monk they met by chance, would they just tell the old woman the cruel truth and let her thirty years of practice be ruined without coming back to correct it? Xiao Shen Tanhua is really a devil, he just used a light and airy The question made everyone restless, and he used a story to make all the magicians have seeds of doubt in their hearts, and there was a flaw. This is not a Buddhist layman, it is simply
It’s the devil!
"People who can speak will inevitably make mistakes. Can a mute who cannot speak also pray to Buddha and recite sutras in his heart?" Seeing that everyone was silently thinking, Shen Fengshu asked another question seemingly casually.
If a mute cannot speak, can he recite sutras in his heart? Is this even a question?
Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, and mutes are also living beings. Of course they can recite sutras in their hearts. Is there anything else to ask?
But many Dharma masters immediately began to ponder the profound meaning of Xiao Shen Tanhua's question. Reciting the wrong scripture is considered chanting, but if you can't make a sound, does it also count as chanting? Quick minds have already thought of more questions. Most of the reasons for being mute are I am deaf and cannot hear sounds, so I don’t know the pronunciation of each word at all. Even if I am eager to learn, at most I can only recognize the words, but I still don’t know them.
How should each word be read correctly? If this is the case, then even if the deaf mute sees the scripture and knows every word, he will inevitably make many mistakes when reciting silently in his heart. He also recites the word "Hum" silently. It is not known whether he will become a cow. Could it be said that he will become a cow?
Isn’t the scripture I’m reciting in my heart right now not a scripture?
"Amitabha!" Master Jueming, the speaker at the last Dharma assembly at Xingfu Temple, had the strongest understanding. He was the first to speak: "To worship the Buddha is more important in the heart, not in the words."
"Congratulations, Master!" Shen Feng Shuyi said another congratulation: "If Master can one day be able to wear different clothes outside the teachings and not establish writing, the time to achieve enlightenment will not be far away!" Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen on earth, is said to have He was illiterate from the beginning, but this did not prevent him from becoming the sixth generation founder of Zen Buddhism. Don't be a non-teacher, not writing is also a Zen practice method, and it can be regarded as a small reminder from Shen Fengshu.
Of course, there is also a direct point to the human heart and enlightenment later, but some words do not need to be said all at once. It is good to leave them for them to slowly understand.
How interesting would it be if Master Jueming could really implement the Zen practice? Maybe he could have more memories of his hometown in this world. While Shen Fengshu congratulated him for his guidance, he also had some bad taste in his heart.
"Don't wear clothes outside the teachings, and don't establish writing?" Not only Master Jueming, but also a group of magicians are pondering these eight words in Shen Fengshu. If an ordinary layman said it, I am afraid not many magicians would care. But these few But these words were spoken by the famous Xiao Shen Tanhua. Especially before he said these words, he had just settled a Buddhist dispute and even caused a dispute.
I published the Buddhist Holy Scenery. Combined with the previous stories and questions, many masters suddenly had an epiphany that vaguely saw through the confusion ahead. However, the road ahead still only vaguely revealed a little bit of obscured scenery. As expected
Sometimes I can't help but yearn for it.
Shen Fengshu didn't say much after that. After all, it was a Dharma gathering at Di'an Temple. As a layman, he really couldn't do too much. This was the most basic courtesy and he couldn't overwhelm the guest.
Similarly, Shen Fengshu did not leave any questions for the mages to answer like last time. This made many mages feel at ease, especially the hosts of Di'an Temple. Shen Fengshu and his party also received praise for this. The reception given by the highest-ranking VIPs of Di'an Temple was grand and warm. Compared with the initial treatment, it was much improved. Every monk and layman met Shen Fengshu with a respectful and kind attitude.
Harmony, quite perfect.
On the contrary, my friends were able to observe and participate in the Di'an Temple Dharma Ceremony at the nearest distance with Shen Fengshu, especially the young monk Yichen, who benefited a lot.
Until the end of the ceremony, the abbot and abbot of Di'an Temple, together with dozens of eminent monks including Master Jueming, sent off collectively, and ceremoniously sent Shen Fengshu and his entourage hundreds of miles away before they each said goodbye.
Compared with the last time after the Xingfu Temple Dharma Assembly, Shen Fengshu was immediately chased by several monks and asked about the whereabouts of the cassock. This trip was not as dangerous as the last time.
On the one hand, in addition to his friends, Shen Fengshu was surrounded by a Nascent Soul Butler and a dozen Golden Elixir maids this time. As long as they were smart, no one would run into such a tough situation.
On the other hand, Shen Fengshu did not show that he had any rare Buddhist treasures this time. The only thing he said he could get hold of was the Yichen Bead, which had been blessed by thousands of great monks. Even if the cause and effect of Buddhism was The Qi is the same as that of the academy, and it doesn't pay much attention to the level, but Buddhist artifacts also pay attention to the purity of the Qi. The Yichen Bead blessed by thousands of people seems to be sincere, but after all, it is rejected by thousands of people.
The mixture of miscellaneous auras may be a rare and precious Buddhist treasure for mortals, and it has no effect on Shen Fengshu, but for accomplished Buddhist monks, it is not even worthless and will not take a fancy to it at all. "Brother Shen, didn't you come to the Di'an Temple Dharma Assembly to find someone to help fuse the relics of the ancestors?" When the group left Di'an Temple at least hundreds of miles away, and there were no outsiders around, Yichen was a little puzzled. Chong Shen Feng Shu
Asked. Yichen benefited a lot from this trip, but he always felt that it was not perfect because Brother Shen did not take out the relics of the ancestor and let so many eminent monks help fuse them. Even though Brother Shen stole the show, it was still a bit a fly in the ointment
"People have many eyes, so it's better not to seduce people's hearts with something as good as the relics of the ancestors." Shen Fengshu patiently explained to Yichen: "People's hearts are unpredictable, even for great virtuous monks. Yichen, not everyone is like me
We are also unguarded with each other and will share good things. In the future, when facing other people, don't be so easily impressed."
The young monk is not deeply involved in the world, and it is easy to think well of others. Once he becomes naive, he can easily be taken advantage of. Shen Fengshu is also worried about this, and will always instill the idea of guarding against others in Yichen. "I understand! "In fact, Yichen has experienced a lot with Shen Fengshu. He has broken precepts and killed people. He is not really the kind of innocent and ignorant. Listening to Shen Fengshu's words like educating a child, he couldn't help but give Shen Fengshu is blank
Eyes, and then threw a Great Ming Curse on Shen Fengshu's body.
Alas, the innocent child has grown up.
"What about Brother Shen's ancestor relics?" Xiaoman asked next to her. This was related to the stability of Brother Shen's sea of consciousness, and she was not willing to delay it for too long.
It was for this reason that Yichen asked just now. When he heard this, he also nodded and looked at Shen Fengshu expectantly.
"I didn't expect this Dharma conference to be so large." Shen Fengshu first attributed the cause to himself, and then said: "Didn't Yichen say he has mastered the method? Let's fuse together." Shen Fengshu didn't. It is said that the effect of Yichen beads is now very outstanding, which will make Yichen feel that all his homework over the past few years has been in vain, just like the old woman who was reminded by the monk, so Yichen's kindness Shen Fengshu
I will accept it seriously and never let it down.
Yichen was indeed very happy, with an expression of eagerness to try on his face. It had been almost a month since he arrived in Qiongzhou, and Shen Fengshu's symptoms of drunken spiritual energy had gradually improved over time. And the magicians once again blessed him The passing Yichen Pearl greatly accelerated Shen Fengshu's recovery speed.
Quickly, by the time the Dharma Conference is completed, Shen Fengshu will be able to practice on his own. It is easy to find a place to integrate. With Shen Fengshu now having the luck to strengthen the Yichen Bead, any place will definitely be a success. Shunshui's Feng Shui treasure land, not to mention that Shen Fengshu had actually considered it before coming here. 1
If it cannot be integrated at the Dharma gathering, Shen Fengshu has a safer place.
The reason why Yichen said he wanted to attend the Qiongzhou Di'an Temple Dharma Assembly and Shen Fengshu agreed without saying a word was that in addition to meeting Yichen's expectations and making up for Ding Jian and Xiaoman's regret of not attending the Dharma assembly, there was another very important reason. reason.
Although the body of Shen Fengshu's second matryoshka doll, Jiang Minghui, was found in Nanyazhou, the wealth he had accumulated throughout his life before he took the body was hidden in a safe place in Qiongzhou.
It was a logical arrangement to come here to participate in the Dharma ceremony and hunt for treasures along the way. Integrating the ancestor's relics and the Yichen Pearl requires a safe and secretive environment. Is there anything more suitable than a secret treasure hiding place?
"You're already here, let's just take a look and see the scenery of Qiongzhou." Without directly stating his destination, Shen Fengshu casually found a reason: "Maybe we can encounter something interesting again."
Everyone silently agreed. Shen Fengshu said that if there is a good thing, then there will definitely be a good thing. Even if it is not particularly good, it is good to gain some experience.
After pointing in the direction, everyone set off steadily on the big chessboard again.
While flying and admiring the scenery, everyone did not forget to practice their own practices.
After flying slowly and leisurely for more than two thousand miles, a huge city appeared not far ahead. Shen Fengshu immediately became interested, and everyone walked ten miles away from the city gate and entered the city all the way.
They had just rested for the night in the best guest room of the best inn in the city. Before everyone could take a closer look around the city, Shen Fengshu saw an acquaintance.
Master Jueming, who had only been separated for a while, was standing outside the inn with a smile on his face. When he saw Shen Fengshu, he smiled and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha!"
