"Grandpa Li, I was just joking. It's too precious. I can't take it." Lan Xiaoran glanced at Gao Shaoyu, then quickly stood up and shook his hand.
"I will never take back the things I took out, no matter whether they are good or bad." Mr. Li shook his head and said stubbornly.
"Lan Yatou, don't think that the things he gave are precious. You were still young at the time, and the jade bracelet I gave you was no less valuable than his Eighteen Bodhi Seed bracelet." Mr. Sun said with a hint of displeasure.
quipped.
"Grandpa Sun, Xiaoran knows that I'm wrong, so stop teasing me." Lan Xiaoran blushed with embarrassment and spoke in a rude dialect, which made people feel as if they were lost in thought.
The two old men were fine, but Li Jian was slightly panicked.
"Haha, let Shaoyu and Li Jian talk about it each, and it will also make the disciples of the future generation wiser." Mr. Sun raised his hand and said with a smile.
"Brother Li, come first." Gao Shaoyu cupped his hands and said.
"Then I'll show my shame." Li Jian stood up and walked over, taking the eighteen bodhi seed bracelet without looking at it. He also knew how precious this thing was. After all, it was something his grandfather wore. As a grandson, how could he
Maybe you don't know.
"Eighteen Bodhi Seed Bracelets, there are many on the market, generally used as accessories for Buddhist believers and repaying fate. The whole bracelet has diamond seed, asura seed, golden bodhi seed, longan bodhi, unicorn eye bodhi, star and moon bodhi, and longan bodhi.
, Tongtianyan Bodhi, White Bodhi Root, Muyu Fruit, Yuanbao Bodhi, Golden Buddha Beads, Five Eyes and Six Links, Lotus Seat, etc. It is composed of 18 Bodhi Seeds. Since there are many types of Bodhi Seeds, you want to find one that is of average size and average age.
It is almost impossible to find a bodhi bead with a mark that has been invaded, which leads to the rarity of the bodhi bead bracelet and its provenance."
"Wearing the Eighteen Bodhi Hand Beads with you can ward off evil and protect yourself, and increase the wearer's blessings. Bodhi has the power to destroy all evil, increase blessings and wisdom, help enlightenment, protect practice, and help the growth of all good Dharma.
All evil will not happen." Li Jian said with a smile.
"It seems to be the same as taking Guanyin." Lan Xiaoran said a little surprised.
"Yes, but Guanyin is just a thought, while Bodhi actually exists, and it has a greater meaning." Li Jian nodded, indicating that Gao Shaoyu would speak next.
Mr. Li and Mr. Sun also nodded and looked at Gao Shaoyu with smiles.
"Brother Li really gave me a big test, then I will show my shame." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile, but he also admired Li Jian for being able to name the eighteen bodhisattvas one by one. He could tell that Li Jian
He has real ability.
"I'm just throwing ideas around, and of course Brother Gao will have the final say." Li Jian handed over the eighteen bodhi bead bracelet and walked back to his seat with a smile.
"Okay." Gao Shaoyu took the Bodhi bead bracelet, pondered for a moment and finally said: "The biggest mystery of this bracelet is why it has eighteen stones."
"Eighteen?" Lan Xiaoran murmured, no matter how good she was at studying, her views on things like antiques were still much weaker, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Gao Shaoyu glanced at the two elders, and finally nodded: "The Bodhi bead bracelet combines eighteen kinds of Bodhi energy and merits, and doubles the practice. Therefore, Buddhism highly respects the Bodhi bead bracelet. It is considered to be the incarnation of the Buddha's mind power and will. It is better than wearing it."
Avalokitesvara is much more powerful. After all, Avalokitesvara is just what everyone thinks about, and no one has actually seen it. However, the Bodhi Seed was actually worn by the Buddha and has been passed down ever since."
"Yes, it is said that I was lucky enough to see the bracelet worn by Buddha Sakyamuni." Mr. Sun nodded.
"Old man Sun, are you talking about the Nalanda Temple in India?" Mr. Li was suddenly surprised, but then he showed regret and sighed: "I didn't go there that time. It was a miss."
"The eighteen bodhi beads bracelet unearthed from Nalanda Temple is said to have been worn by the Buddha. It has been around for at least a thousand years. Once taken out, it still emits a dazzling aura, and there will be Zen sounds and chants in the sky above the sky.
There was a roaring sound, and a Buddha statue appeared. If you don't go there, it would be hard to believe that there would be such a miracle." Mr. Sun couldn't help but sigh, and when he said this, his body seemed to be...
The feeling of a ray of light flying out gives people a very peaceful and calm feeling.
"Old man Sun, it seems you got a lot of benefits last time." Mr. Li said a little jealously.
"Haha, I got some Zen utensils, which were given to me by the local religion in India." Mr. Sun said proudly, as if he was deliberately irritating Mr. Li.
"Hmph! Advocate for foreigners and favor foreigners." Mr. Li snorted, and the two elders in their 60s actually started bickering, which made the five young people present slightly stunned.
"Okay, Shaoyu, please tell me first, don't let Old Man Li's little tricks lead you to bad things." Old Sun laughed.
"Old man Sun, have you forgotten the last time? You are..." Old Li suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Stop it, stop it, we'll talk about it later." Mr. Sun suddenly lost his composure and immediately glared as if he was getting anxious.
"Haha." Mr. Li seemed to have gotten the better of the situation, and he calmly waved his hand to let Gao Shaoyu continue speaking.
Mr. Sun snorted angrily and turned his head away from Mr. Li.
Gao Shaoyu smiled bitterly, but still said: "The eighteen particles of this eighteen Bodhi beads bracelet have the same meaning as one hundred and eight. The so-called "eighteen" here refers to the "eighteen realms", that is, six roots, six
Dust, six senses."
"The six roots refer to: the world of vision, the world of ears, the world of nose, the world of tongue, the world of body, and the world of mind. The six dusts refer to: color dust, sound dust, fragrance dust, taste dust, touch dust, and dharma dust. The six consciousnesses refer to
: Eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, consciousness." Gao Shaoyu continued.
"Bodhi seeds can not only drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and bring luck and good fortune to the owner, but also make people's hearts calm and keep pure. Natural wood has unique inner beauty and power, as if every piece has vitality and is connected with you.
It makes people deeply immersed in it and can’t put it down.”
"Yes, it seems that your foundation is also very solid. You can understand so much. You are already very good as a young man." Mr. Li nodded with a smile, pointed to the bracelet and said: "Then you can tell, my bracelet
How is it different from other bodhi bead bracelets?”
"Old man Li, this test is difficult for you." Mr. Sun said dissatisfied.
"I'm just talking about it. Even if I can't say it, it can be considered that Shaoyu has passed the test." Mr. Li looked at Gao Shaoyu, smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll be brave enough to say it." Gao Shaoyu nodded. "Every bodhi on Mr. Li's bracelet feels heavy. It is definitely not made up of pieces. It clearly feels the aura of accumulated history."
, it should be an antique. It is difficult to preserve antiques such as bracelets. They must be worn regularly to maintain the harmony and equality of color, texture, and hardness."
"Yes, it is old." Mr. Li nodded.
"Huh." Gao Shaoyu took out the convex mirror from his pocket, put it close to his eyes, stared at the bodhi bead bracelet, and suddenly said in surprise.
