2051 One male and one female
"You are a big star now, so you are not afraid of scandals." Wang Baoyu joked.
"I really hope to spread rumors with you, but I'm afraid you'll be unhappy." Tao Ran curled his lips.
"Okay, I'll accompany you today, where to go to play." Wang Baoyu laughed.
"Well, I want to go to Bodhi Temple, you can drive me to." Tao Ran thought.
When Bodhi Temple heard this, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but feel a little sensitive. Tao Ran wouldn't really have the idea of becoming a monk. He frowned and said, "Ranran, it's better not to go to that kind of place, it's easy to be affected."
"I went there last year and made a vow in front of the Buddha, hoping that I could become a singer. Now that my wish has come true, you must be honest in being a human being and you should fulfill your vow." Tao Ran insisted.
"Okay, since you insist, I will accompany you." Wang Baoyu agreed.
Wang Baoyu cleaned up briefly and accompanied Tao Ran downstairs. Because Tao Ran did not block his face, he was discovered by the waiter in the building as soon as he arrived downstairs. He immediately surrounded a group of people. Everyone expressed their excitement, shouted Tao Ran's name, and handed over all kinds of paper and pens.
Tao Ran smiled bitterly and signed the autograph helplessly. Although Wang Baoyu seemed to be writing randomly, fans still regarded it as treasures. They tangled for more than ten minutes before finally leaving the building.
After the car started, Tao Ran sighed: "Now, I have even deprived of my little hobby of shopping. I used to hope to become famous, but I really became famous, but I found that I was tired and miserable."
"Any gain will lead to a loss. Just like me, now I have money, but all the women are gone." Wang Baoyu said casually.
When Tao Ran heard this, he couldn't help but giggle and said, "You won't be short of women. Who doesn't know that Chun Ge Pharmaceutical has a bright future, but you're just dazzled yourself."
"It's not that I'm gloomy. I always feel that everything is like a passing cloud, and it's even more so in terms of emotions." Wang Baoyu sighed.
"How do you think I am?" Tao Ran asked with his eyes blinking.
"Hehe, I don't dare to climb up to the big singer or the big beauty." Wang Baoyu laughed.
"Then you just don't like me."
"It's true that you don't like me."
“Where is it.”
The two of them chatted all the way and headed towards the Bodhi Temple located in the province. They drove for three hours and another one hour of mountain road. Then they arrived at the Bodhi Temple located in the valley but was famous.
He smelled the strong incense from afar. Tao Ran no longer joked with Wang Baoyu, and looked very pious, but Wang Baoyu was a little worried. Tao Ran had experienced the ups and downs of life, and now he gained fame and fortune again. He really wanted to be enlightened when he was rich and noble.
After stopping the car, Wang Baoyu looked around. This was his first time in the temple and felt that everything was very novel.
It's winter now, and the New Year is coming again. There are not many people in the temple. Tao Ran took Wang Baoyu's arm and headed towards the mountain gate along the steps.
Tao Ran explained that this step is of particularity, and it is the 9981st level, symbolizing the 81st difficulty and return to the truth.
On the left and right of the mountain gate, a couplet is engraved. The first couplet is: Greed, anger, ignorance, and delusions are held to the false thoughts and troubles. The second couplet is: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha cut off all attachments and emptiness.
Wang Baoyu felt that these two sentences were quite Zen, and he couldn't help but think of the words in the Heart Sutra, staying away from inverted dreams and ultimately Nirvana. As the saying goes, people in the world feel that monks suffer, but monks laugh at the world's infatuation.
While feeling moved, a young monk suddenly appeared in front of the door, with a pretty face and a thin figure. He nodded with one palm and said, "Donor, welcome to Bodhi Temple."
Tao Ran hurriedly bowed and returned the gift, and Wang Baoyu asked with a smile: "Master, you are standing here to welcome the guests."
"The abbot said that there are distinguished guests here today, one man and one woman, and I guess they are two." The little monk smiled.
"Hehe, everyone who comes here is good men and women. Your abbot is really good at doing business." Wang Baoyu laughed.
Tao Ran secretly pulled Wang Baoyu, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm disturbing the abbot's cultivation."
"It's all due to fate, please come from the donor." said the little monk.
Wang Baoyu couldn't help laughing again and said, "The little monk is very good at talking, okay, I'll donate money later."
"Money is something outside the body, and the Zen mind is even more precious." The young monk said inexplicably.
Wang Baoyu naturally didn't want to bother him, so he pulled Tao Ran into it. Although he didn't come to the temple, he also knew that the temple was no longer a place of purity, but a good place to make a fortune.
After walking a few steps, there was a large stone tablet engraved on it. The calligraphy on it was very good, and it should be the work of a great calligrapher in ancient times.
Tao Ran habitually wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but was pulled by Wang Baoyu and said, "There is Buddha in his heart, and this is all the form. Ranran, the couplet on the mountain gate is well written, don't be obsessed with it."
Tao Ran nodded confusedly. At this time, a pair of monks came over, muttering and chanting the Buddha's name, and strangely circled nine times around the stone tablet engraved with the Heart Sutra, and then turned elsewhere.
"This is the monk's homework. Look at them, how good they look." Tao Ran said with some envy.
"They are also obsessed with it." Wang Baoyu said as an expert.
"In life, several people can escape their persistence. If they can have such pure persistence, it will be a kind of happiness." Tao Ran said seriously.
"Hehe, I think their noodles are delicious, especially those, seem to be quite old and have bent their waists." Wang Baoyu smiled.
"Baoyu, Buddhist holy land, don't talk nonsense." Tao Ran said, although he did not kowtow, he still insisted on bowing to the Heart Sutra stone tablet three times to show his piety.
Going further forward, there is a narrow corridor. There is no need to say much about carved beams and painted roads. The most eye-catching thing is the entire set of bronze sculptures on the wall, which tells the whole story of the Buddha's birth to Nirvana. It is well-made and has luxurious consumables.
"Damn, this set can be no more than a few million." Wang Baoyu touched it with his hands in surprise.
Tao Ran angrily said, "These are donations from kind-hearted people, and they have immeasurable merits."
Tsk tsk, Wang Baoyu sighed and slapped, saying to himself, why don’t these rich and kind-hearted people don’t donate some to themselves, so they can save them from worrying about financing.
When you pass through the relief corridor, you will see a hall with the words "Heaven King Hall" written on it. The clay statues inside are all several meters high, exuding a sense of majesty.
Wang Baoyu turned his head and was happy again, "Look, there are actually nuns in the temple."
Tao Ran was a little angry and said, "That's because there are a few elderly lay Buddhists living on the mountain, and they all take care of those lay Buddhists."
