"Observe at ease, observe at ease, no one is there, no self is there, ask yourself at this time where you are at home? Know where you are, naturally you are at ease, Tathagata Buddha, Buddha Tathagata, there is a future, there is a future, how do you get this body? It has been seen before.
Such as." Li Feng saw a pair of couplets on the temple gate and nodded. A few young monks, no, a few young warriors glanced curiously at a few people and ran up the stairs. These unusual little temples
The monk did not say hello to guide the way. It was just a small temple. Li Feng helped his mother go up the stairs. The two children blinked and looked around curiously. Going up the stairs, the temple was not repaired much. There was a courtyard directly opposite the main hall, with two sides.
There are only three or two real monks here in the monk's residence. There is a school not far away - Shengde Civil and Military School. Several young warriors spend their time cleaning the courtyard, one class a day.
"Mom, let's burn incense first." There's nothing wrong with burning incense. It's taboo to light incense with the left hand. There is a saying that the left hand is clean. Eating meat with the right hand will cause blood. Generally speaking, of course, this is for left-handed people.
Exception. It is taboo to light incense without light. It is correct to say "Borrow the Light" when there is no light. Li Feng and others are not the so-called lay people, nor are they true devout Buddhists. There is no need to bow every three steps or kowtow every nine steps.
.
Li Feng took out the red candles, lit them and inserted them one by one, lit three incense sticks to keep himself safe, six candles for his parents' health, and nine candles were probably the limit for praying for three generations of family members. As for thirteen candles, few people have such extreme expectations. Li Feng helped
He lit three incense sticks with his two children, and nine for himself and his mother. ("") Li Feng taught the two children to worship Buddha. This is the courtyard, with only incense burners. The Buddha worshiped in all four directions, holding incense on the upper left, right lower, and worshiping in all directions.
Clockwise, raise it high between the eyebrows three times. I don’t say that I believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, but I feel pure when worshiping Buddha. When I put the incense, Li Feng helped me hold the incense burner. The incense burner was too high and it was not cheap for two children.
The futon is only knelt on the left and right sides, not in the middle. Li Feng mostly remembers to put his hands together, leaving the space between the two hands, and raise them high to pray three times. His gestures are usually to first stick them and then turn them closer to his legs. This is probably a stick of incense in his heart, but it is rare at this time.
Such rules. When Li Feng saluted, an old monk stood behind him and nodded. After all, this is a mountainous countryside. People worship Buddha mostly casually, and there are few such rules. Such people know some Buddhist rules, Lao
The monk chuckled. "Amitabha." Li Feng was stunned. The old monk had kind eyes and kind eyes, and his face was rosy. He looked like an eminent monk. Li Feng couldn't help but pause slightly when he saw it.
"Master, okay." Li Feng helped his mother up. This old monk was wearing a short monk's robe, but it was light yellow or navy blue, and he held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Amitabha, please come this way." Li Feng walked into the main hall. Now the main hall has undergone tremendous changes. The ground has been repaired with cement floors. The left and right sides are reinforced concrete. Even a few pillars are mostly made of cement and the pictures are dyed.
The golden light is brilliant. In the center of the main hall are the Three Saints of the West, Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. The three kind-faced and kind-eyed Buddhas are shining brightly. Seeing the majesty of no other Buddha, they feel more relaxed and at ease.
In fact, for many people, there is no difference between Amitabha Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha. They are both Buddhas, and there is no difference between Bodhisattva. When he saw the Buddha and worshiped him, Li Feng stuffed his own merit money in the merit box, no more, no less, sixty-six yuan and six cents per person.
Six, I don’t know that such merit is not that much. But for ordinary people, most people only get ten or twenty yuan, which is not a small amount. After all, some incense in the temple is already good.
"Bell, Qiqi, come here quickly and show the master." Li Feng probably didn't believe in these things. Man can conquer nature. This has been sorted out for many years. ("") But this man saw the truth of the master's words.
There is a hint of foresight, could this be numerology?
This old monk didn't speak much. He touched on the vital points of each sentence, and his slightly smiling face showed a hint of enigma. Li Feng felt strange in his heart, but most of what this man said was ambiguous, and he probably couldn't hit all the points. Even so, Li Feng saw that his mother had already
His eyes are shining brightly. He must speak from the heart and to the end.
Apart from anything else, this old man has some eyesight, experience, and clear speech, which makes people feel disgusted.
"As a gift?" Li Feng was stunned. It was rare for temples to give out consecration objects. Most of them had to be bought with money. Li Feng was quite surprised. These two white jade Buddhas were actually given to the two children for free. Li Feng was a little bit
I don't understand. The old monk in front of me is strange. It's not numerology. His words are not as inscrutable as those of other monks. He is full of evil energy, saying that the Buddha is omnipotent. What he says here actually hints at the meaning of the Lord Buddha's destiny.
"Master, this is it?" Li Feng walked closer and walked into the side hall. There were several Vajra statues, but they were connected to the canteen. Li Feng looked awkward when talking about it. The whole side hall was filled with fragrance, and it was really fragrant.
Yes, Li Feng looked at several jars and couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that he really saw the Buddha jumping over the wall? Is this old monk still a foodie? But this King Kong statue is used to look at the kitchen. This old master is second to none. He is a Buddhist King Kong. You
I became a kitchen janitor here, an interesting, really interesting old man.
It was only ninety o'clock at this time, and Li Feng was a little excited when he smelled the fragrance. It smelled really good. "Here are some vegetarian meals. Please come over here." There were small wooden tables, small wooden chairs, wooden bowls, and wooden spoons.
Wooden tableware and black ponds were cooked on the charcoal fire in twos and threes, and the old monk served a bowl of soup. Li Feng sniffed his nose, this couldn't be dog meat. "What is this vegetarian meal, master?" Li Feng tasted it and got more
He was convinced that there was dog meat here. "Haha, this student is filial to his family and abandons waste. He is environmentally friendly and conforms to the destiny." Li Feng almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of soup. Li Feng was a little surprised. This old monk spoke quite well.
Interesting.
"Master, if you become a monk, you can't be exposed to meat and fish. This is a bit inappropriate." Li Feng didn't expect to meet such an old monk. "What the donor said is true, Buddhism is compassionate and does not include killing." The old monk said Li Fengyue.
I don’t understand, don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t be lewd, don’t lie, don’t drink alcohol, don’t apply perfume, don’t listen to singing and dancing, don’t sit on a high bed, don’t eat out of season, don’t store gold and silver. These are all things Li Feng has done
You know, this old monk probably doesn’t know.
"But this." Li Feng pointed to a few pieces of dog meat and coriander foam floating in the soup. This meat is really chewy. Could this thing be fake?
"Dog meat." Not to mention Li Feng's mouth wide open in surprise, Zhang Lan found it unbelievable. Only two children found the meat soup delicious.
After the old monk explained it in detail, Li Feng realized that these fasting meals were only for pilgrims, but this was even more strange. Some of these pilgrims ate dog meat in Buddhist pure places. Li Feng was speechless, and even saw his mother.
He drank dog meat soup again. At this moment, Li Feng felt that the old monk was chattering away, talking and doing things, and he felt that there was something wrong with him.
When the car left, Li Feng looked back and shook his head. This old monk was really a little strange. "Xiaobao, let's go." As the car drove far away, Li Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. This Shengde Temple is really getting more and more interesting.
The more he thought about it, the weirder it became. The old monk smiled faintly, watched the car leave, turned around and walked into the room. Several young warriors ran in, their noses twitching, each carrying a wooden bowl.
"Master, today's dog meat is really delicious. It's a pity that it's a little less. Next time, I'll bring more." The old monk shook his head and said nothing. Several young warriors cleaning the staircase temple finished a bowl of broth.
, laughed and ran away.
Li Feng didn't know that the soup here was not for the pilgrims, but to replenish the bodies of these young warriors. This was considered a welfare. He got up at 4 or 5 o'clock to clean the temple. He would eat some soup to replenish the body, and he would need some more later.
They were boxing and doing exercises and the like. The old monk made a joke casually. The old man sometimes likes to tease others.
Li Feng's car stopped. It was not yet noon, and the Taolin courtyard was quiet. Just as the van stopped, a little black bird flew away. "Eat, eat." Needless to say, little Baba flew over, and this guy
These days I have learned to eat, eat, and now everyone I see calls me "eat, eat."
"This little thing eats food every day, but it was stewed that day, haha." Li Feng was quite worried that the animal in the yard, the python, seemed to have eaten too much. He hadn't eaten in the past few days, and Li Feng was worried that something might happen, so he checked
According to some information, it is known that pythons will be fine if they don't eat for most of the month. As for the lotus roots in the pond of the giant soft-shell turtle Li Feng, half of them have been dug out. Water has been put in half, and there is plenty of space for fry and fry. If the big turtle is put in, there are enough fish and shrimps for it to toss.
, the family has a fat boy, a spotted dog, and a little Tibetan mastiff that has grown quite big. It seems that no one dares to move around these three. The two little ghosts, Twinkle and Maoqiu, secretly hide a lot of fruits.
Pine nuts, walnuts, there is no problem with food in one winter. The little black bear has eaten less these days and is showing signs of hibernation. As for the mountain rats, pigs and elephants, they don’t eat much. They only have chicken feet, pigs, and small monkeys.
Black Ball, Black Ball has hawthorns and almost wild fruits. Chicken feet and pigs are a little more difficult to eat. But fortunately, this guy eats fish. There is not much else in the ditch and pond. Li Feng got a lot of fish and shrimp from the space and poured them in.
, last night, half of the fish and shrimps in Li Feng's space were cleaned out, and there were thousands of kilograms of fish and shrimp seedlings, and a lot of spring water was poured in. This thing has doubled at least several times in a few months. These fish and shrimps are enough for chicken claws and pigs to eat for a lifetime.
The sika deer, 40 to 50 pheasants in the back mountain, and dozens of ducks do not need much care. They are kept free-range, fed every morning, and come back by themselves in the evening. There is no need to worry too much, there are plenty of forage in the mountains, and the sika deer will not wander away casually.
Li Feng has his own parents at home, so he can rest assured that he will leave tomorrow. I don’t know what’s going on in Beijing.
Many of my former colleagues are no longer in Beijing. I have not contacted them for more than half a year. I only have a few good brothers who contact me from time to time. A few days ago, when Li Feng was looking for a house and asking about things in the hospital, it was a little brother he brought out to help.
