Chapter 159 There is a Buddha in the Heart

Zhang Haiyan looked around again and said in disappointment: Really? Why didn't I see it? Even if you tell them or do good deeds, you may not see them, and you may not be able to find out if the Bodhisattva helps them. If you want to tell me,

, this question has no solution to begin with. At least you and them cannot be of the same mind. It is difficult for you to know whether they are good or bad. It is difficult for you to know who the Bodhisattva will help or not. Isn’t this going back to the previous cycle of death!

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Why is there an endless cycle? Didn't we just prove that the Bodhisattva is not blind! If the Bodhisattva doesn't help them, then it must be because these people are not good enough. Think about it, they are all virtuous under the eyes of the Bodhisattva. How can we expect them?

Spread your kindness elsewhere?

Zhang Haiyan understood what she meant, thought about it, and seemed to have thought of something. She immediately said in surprise: Don't you just want to find a good person and see if the Bodhisattva will help him? By the way, do you remember, we just said

At the door, an aunt was distributing free incense to everyone. Is she doing a good deed? Did the Bodhisattva help her?

Yan Tingting said disdainfully: You can pull it off. Looking at her layman's dress, she must know that she must pay for the incense herself and cannot use other people's to burn it.

Zhang Haiyan was puzzled: She knew she had to buy the incense herself, so why was she distributing it there for free?

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Don't you understand this? She is taking advantage of your greed for petty gains to fulfill her own big wish!

Zhang Haiyan asked in confusion: What great wish? What do you mean?

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Of course, we have no way of knowing the specific content of this wish, but judging from the way she prayed, the wish must be something big. What she wants is probably either resurrection from the dead, immortality, or flying into the sky and becoming an immortal.

’s great wish in life.

Zhang Haiyan was stunned, stuck out her tongue and said: Oh my god, this wish is indeed not small. Doesn’t the Bodhisattva not allow everyone to become immortals? Isn’t her fragrance just in vain?

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Do you understand the power of wishes? If we unite as one, we may be able to achieve it!

Yan Tingting saw her shaking her head in confusion, so she had to continue: She asked for the incense, and the higher-ups blessed her wishes. When she gave the incense to those pilgrims, it was equivalent to taking the wishes of these pilgrims with her.

Petitioning to the Bodhisattva is equivalent to a joint petition. She wants so many people to go to the Bodhisattva to say good things for her, just hoping that the Bodhisattva can help her get what she wants for everyone's sake!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: Oh, I understand. This kind of person is taking advantage of someone's greed for urine and using other people's hands to achieve their wishes. It's like borrowing a chicken to lay eggs. If this chicken belongs to someone else, it will lay no matter how many eggs it has.

Other people's things have nothing to do with you. It's a pity that these pilgrims don't know the twists and turns involved, and they stupidly think that this person is quite good, and they keep petitioning for her?

Yan Tingting laughed hard after hearing this and said: Haha, you are right, that's what it is. Now do you still think that the person who sent the fragrance is a good person?

Zhang Haiyan was so happy when she said that, and then said in disappointment: She is a good person! She has ulterior motives, and she has to pretend to be a good person in front of everyone so that everyone can praise her and go to the Bodhisattva to say good things for her.

She looks worse than a chicken! However, according to what you said, it seems that it is difficult to find good people and good things here.

Yan Tingting laughed loudly and teased her again: It's hard to find such a good person, but if you want to do good things, there should still be some. Think about it again.

Zhang Haiyan looked around and wondered: Where else is there? Look, everyone here is full of joy, everyone has hands and feet, and no one seems to need help. You can't go up and ask one by one.

,Comrade, do you need help?

She was so happy when she said this that she quickly covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. Yan Tingting thought for a moment, then held her neck and cracked the stick and said: You are so funny, why aren't you?! When we came in,

Didn’t you see those poor beggars at the door? You were cracking melon seeds and reading a book, and you had money to buy dried fish to feed Mimi, but why didn’t you think of helping the poor code farmers who were begging for food?!

Zhang Haiyan quickly grabbed her and said with a smile: Okay, okay, stop complaining here. You don't pay attention to those beggars yourself. How can you blame others for this?

Little did she know that Yan Tingting didn't see it. On the contrary, she felt extremely sick after seeing it. Because she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't want to see it, couldn't bear to see it, and didn't dare to see it, especially when there was an uncle with incomplete limbs among those people.

She couldn't bear to see him lying there covered in filth. Moreover, at that time, she was only thinking about finding the Bodhisattva, so how could she care about anything else?!

Now when Zhang Haiyan said this, my heart immediately skipped a beat, and I regretted that my intestines were almost green. I was so anxious that tears began to roll in my eyes. She said to herself: Oh, how could I have forgotten this? What if I didn't just now?

So if you are in a hurry to come in and take care of them, then you can just see how the Bodhisattva reacts. Really, it is too late to think about it now, right? What would the Bodhisattva think if he knew this?

Woolen cloth?!

But then I thought: Hey, I am a girl. It is inevitable to make mistakes. Bodhisattva will not be so stingy! No matter what, I don’t do things specifically for Bodhisattva to see. Don’t you already know that he is a good person?

At worst, I'll go to him and explain it to him, and then go see those beggars when I go out. If he refuses to forgive me because of this, then there's nothing I can do about it, just let him be!

Seeing her sad look, Zhang Haiyan couldn't help but reached out and pulled her into his arms, looked at her carefully, nodded empathetically, and said faintly: I understand, everyone has a Bodhisattva of their own living in their hearts. If you are kind to him, he will be kind to you.

, if you hate him, he will hate you, he is in love with you, he has the same temper with you, he is your shelter from wind and rain, and lights your way back.

Yan Tingting quickly put back her chaotic thoughts, turned her head in confusion, and sighed: How great! The Buddha is in my heart. This is the highest state of Buddhism. Have you understood such profound Buddha's meaning? Who enlightened you?

Zhang Haiyan's face turned red when she laughed at her, she gave her a look, smiled and sneered: Isn't that what you meant! Are you begging me to praise you?!

Yan Tingting smiled and said: Haha, since I am Buddha, Buddha is me. If you are unwilling to do good to others, why do you believe that Buddha will help you? How many people who worship Buddha can understand such a simple truth? It seems that you

He is a person who has a predestined relationship with Buddha!

Zhang Haiyan said angrily: Come on, you are praising yourself in a different way, right?

Yan Tingting arrogantly changed her words and said: Huh? By the way, why do you say that Buddha is your destination instead of your future? Why doesn't Buddha come to guide you on the way forward? Don't they all say that it illuminates your way forward?

Well!

Zhang Haiyan said calmly: Walking is not sailing, there are no reefs and dangerous shoals that cannot be avoided. For a person, moving forward is unknown, but if you try boldly according to your feelings, you will always be surprised. Those unknown areas

The joy I bring you will eventually accompany you through this journey of life. The last thing you need to worry about when moving forward is taking the wrong turn. As long as you remember that all roads lead to Rome, you will not think about finding something to take care of you.

Only then can I dare to move forward...

Yan Tingting snapped her fingers and said excitedly: That's good! Buddha guides you back to your true heart when you are lost. Going forward is called exploration, but going home needs direction. When you look back, you will always be lost.

The road we came on is the warmth of home that we cannot find. The road that should be remembered the most, the home that is most familiar, is the place that is easiest to forget. And this Bodhisattva in my heart is to illuminate

The way you came, guides you in the direction of your return, reminds you not to lose your heart when you see the novel excitement outside, or forget to go home to eat when you are having fun. Past life, next life, reincarnation, this is reincarnation in Buddhism

reason.

At this time, the two of them were really close to each other. Zhang Haiyan hugged her and comforted her and said: My silly sister, seeing how sentimental you are, you shed a lot of tears when you see the monk who has no food to eat, and when you think of the beggar who forgot to give

I am so worried about money that I shed tears. I really don’t know what you are thinking about all day long. You just worry about others. Who can understand your thoughts? I feel anxious for you.

Zhang Haiyan pointed at Sang and scolded Yan Tingting. Only then did Yan Tingting realize that she had cried again for no reason. Of course she refused to admit that it was the monkey who caused the trouble. Thinking that her pretty face must have turned into a tabby cat now, she quickly took it out of her bag.

He wiped it with his handkerchief and said: I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just happy for those monks!

Zhang Haiyan said strangely: Are you happy for them? They have traveled thousands of miles to worship the Bodhisattva. They are obsessed with Buddhism. They come all the way just for practice, not to do any good deeds. If the Bodhisattva doesn't even care about a meal, then what else?

Do you have a conscience? They have not worshiped you. What does it have to do with you whether they are full or hungry? Why are you here cheering for them? Isn’t this just making fun of you?

Yan Tingting began to cry again, and murmured sadly and lovingly: They are sincere to the Bodhisattva, and heaven and earth can learn from it. If the Bodhisattva can't see it, he won't even let them have a meal, and will keep them out. What do you think?

Do we still need to worship Bodhisattva?!

Zhang Haiyan didn't understand her thoughts very well, so she had to try to comfort her: So that's why you were so excited just now? But at most, it can be said that they are good to the Bodhisattva, not helping others in the traditional sense!

Yan Tingting argued: Can you believe that a person does not even care about his close relatives and friends, but only thinks about helping the world?

Zhang Haiyan smiled and said: Are you referring to Bodhisattva or monk?

Yan Tingting said categorically without even thinking: Of course it refers to the Bodhisattva, and I have no intention of worshiping the monk.

Zhang Haiyan smiled and said: Then I believe it. Isn’t that what a Bodhisattva should be like? All he thinks about is the suffering of the whole world. Regardless of whether you believe in him or not, he will always think of you. Just like Dayu, in order to control the floods

I don't even take it home to take a look when I pass by my house.

Yan Tingting rolled her eyes at her and said coldly: I don't know if you are joking, but I will not worship such a Bodhisattva anyway.

Zhang Haiyan wondered: Why? Isn't this Bodhisattva supposed to save all sentient beings? You can't be angry and refuse to worship him just because he doesn't care to help you. Don't be so stingy!

Yan Tingting said bitterly: I am so stingy. I only know that if the Bodhisattva is worshiped by me, he will bless me with health. If he wholeheartedly protects people who have nothing to do with him, then why should I worship him?! If he even

He doesn't care about the people who believe in him the most, but he goes all out to help those who are helpless and don't believe in him at all. How is this possible?!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: That's right. The soil and water support the people, and the Bodhisattva protects the peace. Have you got what you wanted now and finally found the Bodhisattva you were looking for?

Yan Tingting wiped her tears, nodded happily and said: Yes, the Bodhisattva I want to worship must be like me. He must act in the same way as me, understand my thoughts, and be in tune with me. Otherwise, I will do this.

Why go and worship him, what do you think?

Zhang Haiyan said slyly: If a Bodhisattva is like you, you are a Buddha. This is easy to understand. But if you want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with a Bodhisattva, it may be difficult, right? How do you communicate with a Bodhisattva? Can he understand your thoughts?!

Yan Tingting said confidently: Of course, that’s how it is now.

Zhang Haiyan laughed loudly and said: My silly sister, how can you be smart and confused at one moment? Do you take this coincidence seriously? What will you do if the Bodhisattva doesn't stay with them?!

Yan Tingting blinked her beautiful eyes and said charmingly and humanely: As long as I recognize that he is a good person, it is not easy. Anyway, Bodhisattvas have to rely on others to do good deeds. If he is too busy, I will help him do it.

I was originally thinking of asking Cao Yu to go somewhere and sell some steamed buns for the monks to eat.

Zhang Haiyan laughed dumbly and said: What? Did I hear it correctly? In order to flatter the Bodhisattva, you dragged my brother into the water? Don’t forget that you came to ask the Bodhisattva to help cure my brother. If he pleases the Bodhisattva,

, how do you treat him?! As you can imagine, there is really no cure.

Yan Tingting said angrily: Didn't I just say that if the Bodhisattva is willing to help him, it means he is a good person, so there is no need for me to treat him. What's wrong with good people being together?!

Zhang Haiyan nodded and said: Well, I understand. I think you started to get confused when you saw my brother. If my brother gets better, then it will be really good. I'm right, right? Silly sister?

Yan Tingting's face flushed again, and she shyly interrupted: "Isn't there no longer a problem now? The Bodhisattva's willingness to stay with those monks to eat not only proves that he is a good person, but also proves that he can think of me. Now both conditions are met."

I'm satisfied, can I be unhappy?

Zhang Haiyan continued: My silly sister, have you ever thought that there are so many good men and women here, and if a monk asks for alms, everyone will give alms.

Yan Tingting wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief again and said: That's different. You can at most give them some money. After being tired for a long time and hungry, you should just want to eat something warm. But you let me

Where can I get them something to drink?!

Zhang Haiyan saw the kind of unabashed kindness in her eyes, innocence and innocence, without any pretense. If she had any selfish motives for doing this, it was at most just for peace of mind and to satisfy her own conscience.

So he said disdainfully: Is this the reason why you are crying with joy? Isn't your idea too childish? Is it because my brother's intelligence has deteriorated?
