Chapter 1,167 Bajie who crazily eats the offerings

"This temple is full of filth and should have been cleaned up long ago..."

"The Imperial Guards are mighty! Lu Taibao is mighty!"

Chen Jingqi was walking alone on the street, frowning, thinking about how his father was treating a vassal's daughter, but was being harassed by the other party, causing trouble for the Chen family. He saw Jin Yiwei surrounding the temple, and a

A monk was escorted out, and the people watching were clapping their hands and cheering.

They are said to be Buddhist monks. A few of them still maintain the appearance of Tibetan Buddhism, but most of them have changed their appearance. Some have fair skin and are no different from Chinese monks.

Just living a pampered life can change your appearance and temperament, but it cannot restore your reputation. The people were naturally alarmed by such a movement. When they discovered that the monks from Daci'en Temple were arrested, only a small number of people talked about it and showed confusion, while most of them applauded.

stand up.

In other dynasties, Buddhist temples had a high status and monks were respected by others. During the Tang Dynasty, when the internal guards escorted Shaolin monks, they were blocked by the common people. However, this group of monks from Daci'en Temple committed murders at regular intervals.

Although there are die-hard believers for his evil deeds, his reputation has long been ruined. He was captured by the Jin Yiwei, so he applauded and applauded.

"well!"

Chen Jingqi was the one who was elated and shouted the loudest.

Not only did he join in the fun, but he also felt that it was a beautiful thing and even the worries at home were temporarily forgotten.

The Tibetan Tantric Sect has always maintained a backward serf system that is incompatible with the Central Plains Dynasty. It even dared to come to the Ming Dynasty to buy people. Chen Jingqi heard from his elders that in the years of famine, people all over the Ming Dynasty had men and women who sold them.

They were in groups and the price was very cheap. Instead, the Yi people and the monks used the silver rewarded by the court to buy people along the way and brought them out of the border as slaves.

It wasn't until the ministers couldn't bear it anymore and felt that this matter was really out of character for the country that they bought it back with silver taels, and then banned border customs and prohibited monks from bringing people out of the country...

Chen Jingqi was very disgusted with the monks, and was a little worried: "It seems that the Taoist Celestial Master is protecting the temple behind the temple. If the Jin Yiwei takes people now, they won't release them again in a few days with thunder and rain, right?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw seven or eight senior officials in the temple wearing cassocks chasing him out. The abbot, Master Zhong Jin, came to Zhu Si and clasped his hands together: "Amiyadu, may I ask what happened to the monks in our temple that caused this?"

Like a large-scale arrest?"

Zhu Si did not explain, but asked: "Chinese monks often use 'Amitabha', but you monks like to use 'Amitabha'. Why?"

Zhong Jindao: "'Amitadu' is translated from Sanskrit, which means the immortal medicine, the ever-lasting nirvana, the Buddha of infinite life, and the meaning of infinite life."

The meaning of this is that Amitabha is the same as Amitabha and Amitabha Buddha, but the translation is different. But Zhu Si picked his ears and said: "If it sounds strange, change it!"

Zhong Jin's eyes changed slightly. This is one of the characteristics of Tibetan Buddhism that distinguishes it from China. How could he tamper with it?

Du's words are also praising..."

Zhu Si's face darkened: "Are you using Tao Tianshi to suppress me?"

Zhong Jin clasped his hands together and his attitude was clear: "Ami Sudu!"

When he found that he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he immediately asked his close disciples to rush out from the back door and rush to the Tianshi Mansion to ask for help. It seems that even the arrogant and domineering Jin Yiwei was still afraid of the Shenxiao Tianshi.

Zhu Si seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Okay, since Tao Tianshi has praised your Tibetan Buddhism so much, let's talk about it, what is a good method?"

Zhong Jin's eyes flashed and he was silent for a moment. He didn't know that this man with Feiyu uniform and embroidered spring knife, who could tell at a glance that he held a high position in the Jinyi Guard, was suddenly concerned about the purpose of Tibetan Buddhism and did not dare to speak for a while.

Zhu Si's face darkened: "I have heard for a long time that the abbot of Daci'en Temple has a thorough understanding of the scriptures. Every time he lectures on the Dharma, his tongue shines like a lotus flower, and his eloquence flows like a river. But now he keeps silent. Are you looking down on me, Zhu Si?"

Zhong Jin was shocked. Monk Fan couldn't afford to offend Jin Yiwei, let alone Lu Bing's cronies, the Thirteen Taibao. His attitude immediately softened: "It's Fourth Master Zhu, I'm disrespectful!"

Zhu Si waved his hand: "You don't need to respect me, just answer me honestly!"

Zhong Jin had no choice but to say: "In the Saha world, all living beings are polluted, hard to change, and have deep karma. Only by taking refuge in the Three Jewels can we transcend reincarnation, climb the spiritual mountain, and enjoy bliss forever..."

Zhu Sidao: "Take refuge in the Three Jewels and explain it carefully."

Zhong Jindao: "The Three Jewels are enlightenment, uprightness and purity. The self-centered mind must be enlightened, with few desires and contentment, and it can be separated from wealth and lust. The self-centered mind must be upright, with no wrong views, and no greed or attachment. The self-centered mind must be pure, free from all worldly labors.

In the realm of love and desire, sex is uncontaminated... If you practice this practice, you will take refuge in yourself!"

Zhu Si raised his eyebrows: "'Jue, Zheng, Jing' sounds good, but how did I hear it was 'Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha'?"

Zhong Jindao: "Buddha means enlightenment; Dharma means righteousness; Sangha means purity. This is the same principle."

Zhu Si sneered: "But what I heard is not the case. You are preaching that the Three Jewels consist of 'Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha', especially the 'Sangha'. It is the only one among the Three Jewels that can talk to the world. The relationship between Buddha and Dharma

The true meaning needs to be elucidated by you."

"Therefore, the 'monk' is the spokesperson of Buddhism in the world. He must worship and obey wholeheartedly and obey the orders carefully. For this reason, many people donate their property in order to go to Lingshan. This kind of behavior is quite similar to that of the White Lotus Sect.

!”

Zhong Jin's expression changed completely: "Zhu Qianhu must be careful, we are Tibetan orthodox and have absolutely nothing to do with the White Lotus Cult!"

Just as he was talking, two guards in royal robes had already appeared escorting a monk: "Fourth Master, we've caught him. This man sneaked into the Tao Mansion secretly and wanted to report the news!"

Zhu Si had the evidence and immediately shouted: "It is indeed the White Lotus evil spirit who colluded with the Tao thieves to plot evil. He even distorted Buddhism and deceived the Jinyi guards in public. Come on! Take down all these thieves and monks!!"

Zhong Jin's heart sank deeply, not only because of the other party's sudden change of attitude, but also because of the address he gave to Tianshi: "No! Something happened to Tao Tianshi..."

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before he had time to think, the wolf-like Jin Yiwei had already rushed over and pressed him to the ground. The monk not far away was furious when he saw it and touched him.

He drew the sword to his waist but did not dare to move it rashly.

Because there were elite guardsmen all around, aiming their bows and crossbows. If there was any resistance, they would definitely be shot on the spot. I could only watch helplessly as a group of eminent monks in the temple were also put into prison cars, turned around and came to arrest me again. The people outside were shocked.

Heaven cheers.

Li Yan and Zhu Zhong were in the main hall of the temple. When they heard the noise outside, they couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Zhongdao: "There are many Buddhist disciples, and the good and the bad are inherently mixed. Let some monks do evil, which will ruin their reputation, and their intentions should be punished."

Li Yan nodded: "To rectify Buddhism, we must not just arrest the monks of a temple, we must fundamentally eliminate this evil atmosphere... These offerings are quite interesting!"

Zhu Zhong followed his gaze and landed on the offerings on the table.

Incense, flowers, lamps, fruits, food, treasures, coatings, tea, beads, clothes.

These are the ten offerings of Buddhism.

Each of these ten offerings has a corresponding Buddhist meaning, such as incense, which is for peace of mind, and listening to more wonderful dharma. For example, flowers, fresh lotus flowers with strong fragrance, sala flowers, etc., are used to live like flowers, and everyone who sees them is happy...

Li Yan mainly focuses on four types of food: food, fruit, tea, and food.

"Tu" is Sanskrit, and translated into Chinese it means water. Many areas in India have a tropical rainforest climate and are prone to skin diseases. Local monks soaked sandalwood in water and applied it on the skin to treat diseases. Over time, it evolved into a Buddhist tradition.

The "nectar" is like the nectar water in Guanyin's jade bottle, which can remove disasters and evils, wash away dust and dirt, and moisturize scorched and withered poplar branches.

"Fruit" means fruit, which means good karma and goodwill can lead to good results. "Tea" is more common in Buddhism. Monks are the first groups to use tea to refresh themselves. "Shi" is the wonderful food for Zen liberation.

, offering vegetarian dishes and rice to Buddha are also the most common offerings.

Regarding the merits of offering food, it is clearly recorded in the "Buddha's Sutra on the Difference of Karma and Retribution", "There are ten merits and virtues of offering food and drink: gaining life, gaining color, gaining strength, gaining peace of mind, being fearless, and being free from all kinds of things."

If you are lazy, you will be respected by everyone, everyone will love you, you will have great blessings, you will be destined to live in heaven for the rest of your life, and you will quickly achieve nirvana."

Buddha does not use ordinary food, but this is a reflection of ordinary people's attitude and is a blessing.

Given the affluence of the Daci'en Temple, it is not surprising that the Ten Offerings can be fully prepared. What is strange is that these offerings are of extraordinary quality, and the "food" and "fruit" included are bright in color and fragrant to the naked eye.

Zhu Zhong was practicing spirituality and was keenly aware of spirituality: "Buddhist spiritual food? Is it used to seduce the messenger who cleans the altar?"

Li Yan nodded: "That should be the case."

Zhu Zhongqi said: "Such a trap... doesn't it seem too direct?"

Li Yan thought of that person's temperament: "Direct, but effective. There is an extremely hidden Buddhist power in this hall, which is mostly concentrated in confessions. I think the envoy of the Pure Altar has already visited. Fortunately, the traces are very light.

The source cannot be traced.”

Zhu Zhong frowned: "But in this case, if we want to communicate with the Jingtan envoy, we will be mistaken for a group of thieves, right?"

"It's not difficult."

Li Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and flicked his sleeves. In the golden plate where the fruits were offered, all the fruits that Monk Fan had offered disappeared and were replaced by a large and plump jujube.

The aroma did not decrease but increased. Zhu Zhong cooed and swallowed subconsciously.

Facts have proved that the so-called longevity peach presented by Princess Wan Sheng is the hiding place of Long Po. The old dragon can get close to Jiajing and absorb the secular emperor's true dragon energy, while Jiajing can only look at the peach, which is impossible

Really talk.

The jujubes in Li Yan's hands are grown from seven ginseng dolls. When people smell them, they will feel light and healthy, and will eliminate illnesses. They are truly spiritual things.

Zhu Zhong is not a person who likes to eat, but he behaved like this. When the spiritual fruit was offered to the table, it created an unparalleled attraction.

So, just when Li Yan and Zhu Zhong left the Main Hall, before nightfall, the jade plate trembled slightly, the dates disappeared, and there seemed to be a faint sound of chirping.

The messenger who purified the altar began to steal the offerings.
