Shi Zhong smiled bitterly: "Abbott, don't joke with me, I am so virtuous and capable that I can be qualified for the position of abbot!"
Da Kong, however, was serious: "Monks don't lie. Since the poor monk said it, he naturally meant it sincerely. The stone donor is destined to be my Buddha!"
"How come I have a predestined relationship with Buddha?" Shi Zhong asked blankly. He was really popular. When he went to Sanqing Mountain last time, the old Taoist Yichenzi wanted him to succeed him in the Taoist temple. This time, another abbot appeared.
, I want to convert to Buddhism myself, but I am not married yet, how can I become a monk easily?
"Donor Shi, did you say you just heard the poor monk chanting sutras?" Da Kong asked, with a smile on his face.
"Yes!" Shi Zhong said.
"That's it. This place is several hundred meters away from the Mahavira Palace, and the voice of the poor monk chanting sutras is very low. Even the donor of this stone can hear it, so he is not destined to be my Buddha!" Dakong said.
Shi Zhong was stunned, yes, could it be that he was really destined to be the Buddha?
Dakong said: "Is Donor Shi willing to take over Dayan Temple?"
The stone bell suddenly shook, and the life essence in his body was flowing. He suddenly realized that he was just in danger. He felt that there was always a Buddha's name in his heart, urging him to convert to Buddhism. Fortunately, the life energy brought him back to his senses. The look he looked at Da Kong again was wrong.
Sorry, maybe this old monk is responsible for this, but seeing the kind-hearted look on his face, it doesn’t seem like it.
No matter what, I won’t enter Buddhism anyway!
Shi Zhong smiled and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the abbot. I am already a member of the Taoist sect. Although I am a lay disciple, I also kneel down to worship the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty. This abbot will never accept it!" After saying this, the old monk was afraid that he would not believe it.
.Take out the token given by that cheap senior brother Yichenzi. On the front is the ancient Chinese characters Sanqing, and on the back are flowers, birds, fish and insects. It is extremely simple and simple.
When Da Kong saw the token, his expression was startled, and he immediately sighed and said: "Destiny arises and ends. You really can't force it, but Taoist friend Yichenzi has a keen eye for discerning pearls. Don't you know the name of your friend?" His eyes were a little sad, and he couldn't enter the stone bell.
Buddhists felt very sorry.
"My dharma name is Yichenzi. Does the abbot know my senior brother?" Shi Zhong asked. In front of outsiders, he naturally wanted to give Yichenzi the face of an experienced Taoist.
"We have been old friends for many years, and I still remember when we met by chance. The two of us debated for three days and three nights over the supremacy of Buddhism, but we have not seen each other for more than thirty years. In the past, Taoist friend Yichenzi liked to travel around the world, but now as a
Master of Sanqing Monastery, naturally you can't travel casually!" Da Kong said in memory, and put the stone clock on the same level. After all, Yichenzi is of the same generation as him, and his junior brother is also of the same generation, even though the two are sixty or seventy years apart.
age.
No wonder you want me to be the host of the temple. Damn, you really don’t have good intentions. It turns out it’s so that you can shirk your responsibilities.
Shi Zhong thought to himself, after debating for three days and three nights, Yi Chenzi, an old Taoist, has such good eloquence?
Shi Zhong said: "I wonder what scripture the abbot recited just now?" After saying that, he looked at Da Kong eagerly. In Da Kong's eyes, he naturally thought that Shi Zhong was devoted to the Buddha, and he sighed even more in his heart.
Youjie boarded first!
As a result, Da Kong had a deeper affection for Shi Zhong, and he said patiently: "The poor monk just recited three sutras, namely the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Amitabha Sutra. Do you think, fellow Taoist,
Request these three Buddhist scriptures?" He thought Shi Zhong wanted to recite Buddhist scriptures!
Shi Zhong could not understand what Da Kong meant and did not explain. He said, "Would you be honored to hear the abbot recite sutras for me again?" Afraid that the abbot would be impatient, Shi Zhong quickly explained, "My requirements are not high. I only need the abbot to recite sutras for me."
Recite one or two lines of each sutra for me to change my behavior and purify my six ears!"
"What's so difficult about this!" Da Kong naturally liked it. He introduced Shi Zhong into the Zen room, arranged for Shi Zhong to sit on the futon, and then sat cross-legged next to the stone clock, closing his eyes and chanting sutras. He is a profound Buddhist, like this
By the time ordinary Buddhist scriptures have been understood in the mind, they can be picked up at will.
With excitement and curiosity, Shi Zhong listened carefully to find out which Buddhist sutra was so powerful. When he came to this monastery just now, he discovered that not all the sounds of chanting sutras had the ability to accelerate the light golden energy.
The effect of operation is only for a certain period of time, but Shi Zhong doesn't know what Buddhist scripture it is.
Next, Shi Zhong was in trouble. He never expected that Da Kong would recite the three Buddhist sutras word for word without missing a word. In addition, in order for Shi Zhong to hear clearly, Da Kong recited the sutras at an extremely slow speed.
It took twice as long as usual to finish a Diamond Sutra. Suddenly, Shi Zhong frowned.
How could Shi Zhong know what Da Kong was thinking? Seeing how sincere Shi Zhong was, Da Kong couldn't ignore Shi Zhong. He thought it was because Shi Zhong was afraid of bothering him that he just wanted to recite one or two sentences, so he simply recited all three scriptures.
If he really has a predestined relationship with Buddha, he might leave Taoism and join Buddhism. This is not impossible!
If Shi Zhong knew that Da Kong acted like this because he acted pious, he might even have the intention of committing suicide.
By the time Da Kong finished reciting them all, it was already two hours later. Shi Zhong was a little lucky. Whether it was the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra or the Amitabha Sutra, the content was not long. If it were a long classic, I would probably have to listen to it.
Until tomorrow.
Don't say this. After listening to Da Kong's chanting, Shi Zhong was extremely disappointed. Seeing that Da Kong's heart was very cold, he asked cautiously: "Are you satisfied, fellow Taoist?"
Shi Zhong forced a smile. After all, he had troubled people for so long, and said: "It's not bad!" He didn't give up and asked, "Didn't the abbot recite other scriptures today?"
"Today the poor monk is reciting these three scriptures. What scriptures are you looking for? The poor monk can take you to the scripture library to have a look!" Dakong Road, Shi Zhong didn't know, Dayan Temple is
It is a famous provincial historical and cultural temple with a rich collection of books that ordinary people cannot enter.
"Forget it, the boy is still involved in some worldly matters, so I won't disturb the abbot for his spiritual practice!" Shi Zhong said, and was about to leave.
Da Kong suddenly said: "The poor monk suddenly remembered that in addition to reciting these three sutras, Ling also recited another sutra!"
"What scripture?" Shi Zhong was overjoyed and asked quickly, feeling as if he had no way out of doubts.
"This..." Dakong seemed a little embarrassed. It seemed that this involved Abbot Dakong's secret.
Who is Shi Zhong? He felt sad in his heart and said: "Since the abbot is in trouble, I won't say anything anymore. However, I can no longer find the tranquility I had just now. I just heard the Buddha's words and my heart was empty."
There seems to be a Buddhist land in my heart, with Sanskrit chanting, what a pity, what a pity!"
Shi Zhong sighed and was about to walk out.
"Wait!" Dakong said urgently. Shizhong stopped and said secretly, fearing that you wouldn't take the bait. Dakong continued, "It's a poor monk who has taken the form. Buddha is destined to be a person. He can have the view of the sect, sin, sin!
Da Kong looked ashamed, "Pinsen just recited one or two sentences from a sutra. I didn't remember for a moment that it was from the Dayan Heart Sutra, the original sutra of Dayan Temple!"
"Dayan Heart Sutra?" Shi Zhong was surprised. He had never heard of this Buddhist classic.
Da Kong seemed to see Shi Zhong's thoughts and explained: "This sutra comes from the founder of Dayan Temple, the Dayan practitioner. Of course, the practitioner was born in the world. After experiencing the world of mortals, he finally had a perfect state of mind. He recited this sutra when he passed away.
It was the disciples of the traveler who wrote it down, copied it and passed it down!"
"The Great Evolution Practitioner is really an eminent monk!" Shi Zhong praised, "No wonder I felt empty in my soul as soon as I heard it, and I actually wanted to become a monk."
"Dependent origination and annihilation, everything is destined!" Da Kong said, "It seems that Taoist friends are destined to this sutra. Even if a poor monk chants it for three days and three nights, he will not have such a Buddha state!"
"Abbott, can you recite the Dayan Heart Sutra for the boy again?" Shi Zhong asked.
"Naturally!" Da Kong said, opening his mouth to recite, and a jerky Buddhist sutra came out of his mouth.
At the moment when the Buddhist sutra was recited, Shi Zhong felt that his whole body was boiling, and the pale golden energy was running a hundred times faster. If the water poured into the river before was a drop, then it is now a bowl. Shi Zhong was overjoyed. If
At this speed, the Buddhist Dharma behind him will definitely grow rapidly, becoming a six-foot golden body and immortal!
Unfortunately, this boiling feeling did not last for ten seconds. This time Da Kong was obedient and actually recited a sentence, which made Shi Zhong very depressed. Why is this old monk so ungrateful?
"I wonder if the abbot can let me read the Dayan Heart Sutra. Even if I just take a look at it, I will have no regrets in this life!" Shi Zhong looked solemn, and was pleasantly surprised. This is it, it is definitely it!
"Fellow Taoist, please come with this poor monk!" Dakong said, getting up and going out, followed by Shi Zhong.
As Da Kong walked to the back of the monastery, there was an attic with a message: Sutra Library!
The Sutra Collection Building was empty, but Shi Zhong was keenly aware that a mysterious aura existed in this attic, but he didn't know where it was. It seemed that he was a person with a very high state of mind, and he also knew martial arts.
"This is it!" Da Kong went up to the second floor, took out an iron box from somewhere, and handed it to Shi Zhong, "This thing belongs to fellow Taoist!"
Originally, Shi Zhong planned to trick him into getting the Heart Sutra, but when he saw Da Kong treating him with such integrity, he was very embarrassed and quickly declined: "Abbott only needs to give me a copy of the Heart Sutra. Originally, I would never dare to accept it!"
"Haha, fellow Taoist's heart is known to the poor monk. The original copies are all false. This thing is destined to fellow Taoist. It should be obtained by fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be modest!" said Dakong.
Seeing this, Shi Zhong knew that he could not refuse, so he took it, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Abbott, I am willing to donate 500,000 incense money to Dayan Temple to show my respect for the Buddha!"
"Fellow Taoist, you are interested!" Da Kong clasped his hands and said to Shi Zhong. Although Da Kong did not pay attention to money, the food, drink and accommodation of the whole temple were inseparable from money. Naturally, he was extremely pleased with Shi Zhong's generosity.
"Fellow Taoist, please ask the poor monk to recite sutras for you to see you off!" Da Kong was still very sorry that Shi Zhong had not entered Buddhism. He gave Dayan Temple the most precious treasure of the temple, "Dayan Heart Sutra", maybe because he wanted Shi Zhong to be baptized by Buddhist scriptures every day.
Sincerely, go to the Buddha!
"The Dharma is equal, there is no superiority or inferiority, right and wrong are combined, the heart is moving and the body is calm, so..."
Suddenly, Da Kong lowered his eyebrows and looked down, sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting Buddhist scriptures and chanting Sanskrit sounds.
Shi Zhong's blood was boiling, but the sound of the Buddha in the sky kept boiling, and it became more and more boiling. The pale golden energy seemed to burst out of his body. Shi Zhong had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the floor, meditating to guide the movement of the pale golden energy.
Little did he know, the entire Tibetan Pavilion suddenly shone with Buddha's light, and a ten-foot-tall golden body of Buddhist Dharma appeared out of thin air behind Shi Zhong. It was too thin to be seen. However, as the Buddha sang in the sky, the pale golden energy in Shi Zhong's body
The movement of the Dharma gradually became clearer. Although the distance to condense into an entity was still thousands of miles away, there was at least a little progress.
A burst of heavenly Buddha and Sanskrit sounds suddenly sounded in the void, and the clouds on Mount ** immediately turned into a group of golden clouds, and golden flowers filled the sky, falling on Mount **. Faintly, among the golden clouds, there were
A Buddha body.
For a moment, people near Mount ** were shocked and looked at the golden light in the sky. The Buddhists shouted loudly for the coming of Buddha, while the atheists were confused. Aren't mirages unique to the sea?
