When it comes to such a major matter, Chu Ling's judgment is inaccurate. He is too emotional and does not understand the cruelty of things in the world.
No matter how smart and insightful she is, she is not so rational when it comes to herself, and is still dominated by emotions.
She failed to foresee how cruel the inner palace would be in the future if the queen did not step back.
As a princess, and a favored princess at that, she could not see the cruelty of the harem. She only saw the beautiful side, and even if it was boring, it did not reveal the darkness.
The queen is different.
She made such a decision, which may seem impulsive at first glance. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it also involves rational thinking and is not entirely emotional.
It can only be said that the queen is a queen after all. Sitting in this position, even a dull person can be tempered to an unusual degree.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen showed a bitter expression: "If the master agrees, the Emperor has nothing to say, but if the Emperor agrees first..."
She shook her head slightly.
Fakong said: "Your Majesty, if I agree rashly, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the Emperor's thunderous wrath. If you're angry with me, that's fine. I'm afraid it will harm the sect and the temple."
"Alas...it is indeed too difficult to be a master!" The queen sighed quietly, shook her head and said, "That's all."
Fakong said: "Your Majesty, just stay here first. The rest will take your time. There is no need to be in a hurry."
"Yes." The queen nodded.
Chu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Fakong fiercely.
This monk is so disgusting, he is obviously trying to scare himself.
Fakong said: "Do you want to meditate now, or to feel happy? If you want to feel happy, you might as well play the piano, raise flowers, or even raise a bird. They are all excellent."
Chu Ling nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you just need to cultivate your mind and cultivate your nature. Buddhism is not necessary. Queen mother, you are still young."
The queen chuckled and said: "I am already an old woman, how can I be called young."
"My mother has always been young." Chu Ling said with a smile.
The queen smiled and shook her head.
Fakong said: "The courtyard of the Jingshe is very large. It can be opened into a vegetable garden or a flower garden, whatever the empress likes. This is not anywhere else. The empress regards it as her own place."
"Okay." The queen nodded: "But I still want to study Buddhism to increase my wisdom and open my mind."
Fakong nodded: "Which sutra the queen wants to listen to, I can explain it."
The depth of his Buddhist teachings is unparalleled. The Buddhist scriptures are so vast that it is impossible for him to master them all, but he is still proficient in the most common Buddhist scriptures.
The queen then picked a Buddhist scripture, and Fa Kong began to explain it, either by extending it or by simplifying it.
Even Chu Ling listened with great interest, and even became fascinated, unknowingly forgetting the tea he was making.
Fa Kong did not interrupt them and continued to lecture. While preaching, he poured the brewed tea into the tea cup.
Only then did Chu Ling regain her composure.
After the lecture, the Queen and Chu Ling raised some doubts, and Fa Kong answered them one by one, making their eyes light up.
Fa Kong explains Buddhism in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and more importantly, extends it, liberating the method of relieving troubles from the profundity and precision of Buddhist scriptures and turning it into a method that is easy to understand and practice.
If you want to get rid of worries, you must first understand yourself, analyze the intentions behind your words and deeds, and analyze yourself.
Make peace with yourself again, stop internal friction, stop disturbing yourself, deny yourself, and not look down on yourself because of your shortcomings, but admit your own imperfections and shortcomings, and accept your imperfections.
Then find the right goal, pursue the goal with body and mind integrated, focus on the goal, and not be disturbed by external things.
Then, develop an altruistic heart, knowing that I am for everyone and everyone is for me. Helping others is helping yourself. By helping others, you can gather other forces for your own use.
Then comes the heart of compassion, and then comes the understanding of the laws of the world and the true face of the world.
Finally, you see your true colors.
Step by step, climbing up the stairs, is the road to enlightenment, the relief of worries, and the road to enlightenment and Buddhahood.
It seems far out of reach, but it is real and verifiable.
The queen was in the troubled stage, which was also the stage where it was easiest to listen. When she heard Fakong's words, she suddenly understood.
She felt that the dark clouds hanging over her heart were quickly removed, and she found a way to remove them.
From now on, I no longer have to worry about the darkness weighing on my heart.
This sense of solidity made her feel at peace. She no longer had fear or worry, and her mind was calm and peaceful.
She tithes with sincerity.
I have also listened to many eminent monks' sermons, which were very colorful and pleasant to the ears, but none of them explained the path to enlightenment in such a plain and simple way, which touched my heart so much that I could hear it clearly and clearly.
It's like a road going up a mountain. It's originally winding, sometimes obscured by clouds and fog, or obscured by mountains and forests, so you can't always see it clearly.
However, Fakong pushed everything aside and opened up a road leading directly to the top of the mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can clearly see every step.
Fakong smiled and said: "Mother, in fact, it is not necessarily a good thing that I explain the path of cultivation so clearly. Some eminent monks do not understand it, and some eminent monks do not understand it, but do not want to explain it clearly... Sometimes
, to break through a realm, it will be easier to break through if you don’t know the way, but it will be a huge obstacle if you know it.”
"I think it's better to be clear." The queen shook her head gently: "If you are unclear, you will always feel uneasy and unable to calm down."
"If this is the case, then a thorough understanding will be more conducive to practice." Fakong said: "There are thousands of ways to become a Buddha, and finding the one that suits you is the most important thing. One person's path of practice may not be suitable for another.
people."
The queen said: "Master, has he figured out which path of cultivation is suitable for me?"
Fakong smiled and nodded.
Chu Ling said hurriedly: "What about me?"
Fakong looked at Chu Ling and said with a smile: "Your Highness is not suitable for practicing Buddhism, so you should practice martial arts."
“Why can’t I practice Buddhism?”
"Your Highness, the mortal fate has not ended." Fakong shook his head and said: "I have no fate with the Buddha, but the Buddha saves those who are destined."
"Why am I not destined?" Chu Ling said unconvinced: "I can hear it clearly and can practice it."
Fakong said: "Trouble is Bodhi. Your Highness has no big worries yet, so it is difficult to develop a true belief in the Buddha. Of course, it is impossible to practice. If you understand, you will understand. You will know it when you practice. It is in vain and you are standing still."
"I don't believe it." Chu Ling said.
Fa Kong smiled.
"Mother, I will practice here with you," Chu Ling said.
The queen shook her head: "I don't need you to accompany me. It's more peaceful for me to stay by myself. You can do whatever you need to do."
"Queen mother——!" Chu Ling was dissatisfied.
The queen said: "You are here, disturbing my peace and disrupting my practice."
"Mother-empress-!" Chu Ling was even more dissatisfied.
The queen smiled and waved her hands.
Fakong said: "Your Highness, when you have free time, you can come over to stay with the empress. You can also come over to live with me during normal times. But if you want to practice, forget it."
The queen nodded and said with a smile: "Just follow what the master said."
"...Okay." Chu Ling nodded helplessly.
On the surface, she was not convinced by Fa Kong, but in fact she was convinced in her heart. She just thought that Fa Kong was timid and not courageous enough.
But I am still convinced of Fakong's judgment.
Since Fa Kong judged that she was not suitable for practicing Buddhism, she knew that she was probably not suitable.
Although I am quite moved by the subtleties of Buddhism, I would rather spend more time practicing martial arts than martial arts.
Most of the worries at the current stage are caused by insufficient martial arts. If the martial arts is strong enough, all worries will disappear.
Just like poor people think that all their worries are related to lack of money. Once they have money, they have no worries.
Chu Ling is at this stage.
And after you have money, you will find that you also have troubles.
The Queen is at this stage, and her troubles are no longer caused by martial arts, but troubles of a higher level.
At this time, you can take help from Buddhism.
In the following days, the queen stayed at Lingkong Temple.
There are six monasteries in Lingkong Temple.
The construction of these six monasteries is no less impressive than the abbot's courtyard.
The courtyard the queen chose was a spacious courtyard, a square courtyard.
A vegetable garden and a flower garden were opened in the courtyard. I was very busy working every day, and when I stopped, I would recite and recite Buddhist teachings.
It's winter now and everything is bleak.
In Lingkong Temple, these vegetable beds and flower beds can also make seeds grow, which is the effect of divine water.
There is sacred water in Lingkong Temple. A copper vat next to a well is blessed with a rejuvenation spell, turning the clear water in the vat into sacred water.
Fakong originally thought that after the queen lived in Lingkong Temple, the emperor would ask questions and come to question him.
But the result was that three days had passed, and Chu Xiong had no movement. He seemed not to know that the queen had entered Lingkong Temple, or even that the queen had left.
Fakong sighed secretly.
This is Chu Xiong's acquiescence to the queen's approach, which is to hand over the harem to Leng Feiqiong.
From then on, the master of the harem became Leng Feiqiong, and the empress became a thing of the past, which is quite sad to think about.
Fa Kong did not open his mouth to discuss the matter.
This is a family matter. If outsiders interfere, they are asking for trouble. It is better to just sit back and watch.
Leng Feiqiong obviously also knew about this, but he knew enough not to ask Fakong any more, pretending that he didn't know.
After another three days of rejuvenation spell, Leng Feiqiong has completely recovered.
Her temperament has also undergone subtle changes.
It's still cold, but it doesn't have that deep-rooted coldness. It's not like the coldness of dark clouds covering the snow, but as cold as the snow under the clear sunshine.
This makes her more attractive.
On the occasion of parting, Leng Feiqiong made a deep tithe: "Master, as for the queen, I'll leave it to you."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Leng Feiqiong said: "Master, do you think I also hate the queen, am jealous of her, and want to squeeze her away?"
Fakong shook his head.
Leng Feiqiong sighed and said silently: "I am actually very grateful to the queen."
Fakong smiled.
Leng Feiqiong said: "Master, please tell the queen that I will never take away her Phoenix Seal."
Fakong said: "Okay, I will tell the queen."
Leng Feiqiong titheed again, turned around and walked away.
——
A bright moon hangs in the sky.
Fakong appeared in Li Ying's courtyard.
Under the moonlight, Li Ying was dancing with her sword. The sword's power suddenly changed and she stabbed him. The sword's power suddenly became erratic and illusory, as if it had turned into a wisp of breeze.
Fa Kong rolled his sleeves.
The sword tip that appeared in front of his chest suddenly stopped and suddenly flew backwards, making a "buzzing" tremor.
Li Ying's face was solemn, and she held the sword tightly, but in the end she couldn't hold it. The sword broke away from her hand and flew into Fukong's hand.
