9. The ordination ceremony, please!)
"Have you heard that, the two junior brothers brought back by Master Fakong..."
"Shh! I just went to the Zen room of Junior Brother Xuanzang and peeked. I looked inconspicuous, but every word and action was accompanied by Buddha's light!"
"You don't want to die? That's the god who came down to earth. If you peek at the gods, you will be punished by God!"
"I heard that when Master Fakong entered the temple, he also had a strange phenomenon!"
"Is that so? Then why can't you see it now?"
"He has long been round and his soul is restrained. How can he show his golden body easily?"
"Ah... Uncle Fakong has reached such a supernatural power!"
"I heard that they had condensed their golden body decades ago, but now they probably have already formed Buddha relics!"
"Then what level do you think of the two junior brothers?"
"It is said that all have condensed the golden body..."
"Impossible?"
The monks looked full of envy...
It’s so annoying that people are more popular. I have been practicing in Jinshan Temple for 20 or 30 years, but I am still in the realm of Kaifan. The two junior brothers seem to be in their teens and have actually condensed their golden bodies!
"I tell you... our junior brother Xuanzang may be more than just the golden body realm..." Another monk suddenly said mysteriously.
"What?" the monk next to him exclaimed.
"I heard from my master that when Xuanzang entered the mountain a few days ago, he discussed the teachings with his abbot in front of the Main Hall. After that, the abbot was in seclusion, perhaps because he had some understanding..."
"Ah? Abbot Faming is a real golden body realm. He can enlighten him with just a few words. Isn't it..."
"Don't lie, don't dare to lie!"
...
Lin Buyi had a dream.
In my dream, I sat on the ritual platform, and thousands of believers in the audience bowed and bowed with devout prayers.
When breathing, it attracted auspicious clouds in the sky, and when it was about to tilt, it caused thunder to sound.
Suddenly, the auspicious clouds turned into black fog, followed by thunder falling, and the audience suddenly became black, followed by a river of blood.
...
"What the hell!"
After waking up from the nightmare, my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
It has been three days since I arrived at Jinshan Temple.
For three days, he did not go out of the gate and did not step out of the gate. He isolated himself in the meditation room, and he slept all day long.
Every day, young monks from the Ming generation brought food to him and looked at him in awe.
"Uncle Master, are you really the Venerable?"
Lin Buyi was really unable to complain about this kind of question and didn't know how to answer it.
As soon as I spoke, a lotus appeared and I couldn't explain it clearly.
Yesterday evening, the young monk who was delivering the meal told him before leaving that the abbot Faming would personally hold a ceremony for him to take the precepts in person this afternoon.
The so-called precepts means burning a few incense scars on the top of your head to show your devotion to the Buddha.
Lin Buyi was too lazy to resist. In short, he survived like a salted fish and no longer showed his dew. Could it be that these monks could really tie themselves to the road to obtaining scriptures?
Even if they tied up and let themselves go west, but they just turned east, what can they do!
However, Xuanqi was simple-minded and did not pretend to be a waste house like Lin Buyi. She devoted herself to doing her homework on time every day. Many monks had a good impression of this little monk who was standing on lotus. After three days, she had become a mascot in the temple.
"Dongdongdongdong--"
The knock on the door sounded, pulling Lin Buyi out of his chaotic thoughts.
"Uncle Master, are you awake?"
A tender voice came from outside the door, and then a little bald man pushed open the door and poked his head in.
Lin Buyi knew that his name was Mingxin, and he was responsible for his food these days.
"Mingxin, is the time coming?"
The little monk nodded: "Master asked me to invite you over, saying that he wanted to preside over the ceremony of taking the precepts for the uncle."
The little monk walked in while talking, holding a brand new set of monk's robe.
"This is specially customized by the master's master for the junior uncle. It is said that the Buddhist seal has also been blessed with it, which has the ability to avoid retreating from evil."
Taking the precepts was originally a collective ceremony every six months. Every time they were held, the abbot of Jinshan Temple would gather the elders, the heads, the Zen masters, and the disciples to be divided into five.
Then ask a special monk who keeps the precepts to come over and lay incense scars on the head of the novice monk who is taking the precepts.
The number of incense scars from one to nine is determined by the degree of connection with the Buddha. The more incense scars you can burn during the precepts ceremony, the deeper the connection with the Buddha.
Only after the precepts are completed can you obtain the Buddhist code and embark on the path of Buddhist practice.
These were all explained to Fakong and himself before going up the mountain, so Lin Buyi certainly remembered them.
When he first heard the news, he felt a little resistant.
The main reason is...
Afraid of pain.
However, when I thought that my head could not even bite the giant python, I immediately relaxed.
Along the way from Kumu Peak to Jinshan Temple, they also encountered many animal corpses. After Lin Buyi rushes to recite the mantra of rebirth to save the small animals, the system's salvation value has increased by more than 30 points.
It's 3 points of defense.
At this time, his defense has reached 13 o'clock. Then burn incense scars on his head... it shouldn't hurt anymore, right?
Then he thought again that since the number of incense scars burned was related to the fate of Buddhism, would he not be able to burn incense scars with such high defense on his head?
Then he was judged to have no chance with the Buddha, and was then expelled from the mountain gate?
Thinking of this, Lin Buyi was immediately delighted.
"King Xin wait for a moment."
After saying that, I took the monk's robe, walked around the screen and took a shower. After changing into it, I suddenly felt warm all over my body, but I didn't know which evil spirits could scare away this monk's robe...
"Wow, the uncle of the little master is solemn when he wears this outfit!" The little monk's eyes were radiant.
Lin Buyi glanced at himself in the bronze mirror and immediately pulled down his face...
Unlike the brown and yellow clothes worn by other monks, my set is beige overall, and the patterns in it seem like there is a hint of light surrounding it. At first glance, it is a bit mysterious.
Now not only did there be a faint fluorescence on the head, but even the body began to emit a faint golden Buddha light...
"These are all things outside of the body, so we'll leave now."
After saying that, he walked forward without caring about Mingxin's admiration.
Along the way, Mingxin introduced him to the content of the ordination ceremony.
At noon, finish bathing and changing clothes.
At that time, burned incense and prayed under the gaze of the Damo Academy.
During the Shen period, you will receive the blessings of Buddhism and start the ceremony of taking precepts.
Then make a vow in front of the Buddha, and then you can obtain Buddhist practice scriptures based on the number of incense scars.
Because of this last step, a fierce debate began in Jinshan Temple early this morning.
"Junior Brother Xuanzang is the Venerable Linfan. How can we still need the practice scriptures of our Jinshan Temple?"
"That won't happen. Wouldn't I be very disrespectful to the Buddha if I don't complete the precepts?"
"Why would the Buddha care about worldly etiquette in his heart?"
