Now that we have come to the temple, how can we not burn incense and worship Buddha?
The Xu family is the largest family in Jinling, so naturally they are also the main financial backers of Hanjing Temple. Early in the morning, Young Master Xu went to visit the abbot of the temple.
Unexpectedly, the abbot and the monk were very polite. After I finished my breakfast, I took the two young novices to the guest house.
I looked at the old monk, who was wearing a simple blue robe. He was thin and short, and his appearance was not amazing. However, upon closer inspection, I saw that there was some compassion in the old monk's brows and some peace in his expression, which was very impressive.
The shape of a Taoist monk.
When the old monk saw me, he put his palms together and saluted. I quickly returned the salute and said respectfully: "You're welcome, Master."
I thought that since the old monk came in person, it would be a disgrace to me if I didn't add some money for sesame oil, so I rummaged through my purse and pulled out a bead the size of an apricot, and said, "The faithful woman came in a hurry.
Without preparation, if the master does not give up, the believer can use these small beads to show her sincerity to the Buddha."
My South Sea pearl is uniform in color, white and crystal clear, and is of top quality.
The old monk was also a well-informed man. After reciting the Buddha's name, he ordered the young novice monk to accept it.
The old monk saluted the ninth brother again. The ninth brother took out a banknote from his sleeve and flashed it in front of the old monk's eyes. The old monk accepted it with a smile.
Well, I saw that the amount of the silver note from Brother Ninth seemed to be quite large. The old monk gained a lot from this trip!
The old monk invited us to sit down and preached the Dharma under the parasol tree. After a while, the ninth brother yawned. The old monk also looked at the ninth brother with a smile and said: "Buddhism is boundless and cannot be understood in a moment."
Yes, I wonder if you are interested in following me to the main hall to bring a stick of incense and ask for an autograph?"
Young Master Xu said: "The Hanjing Temple's lottery is very effective. Many good men and women come to Jinling from hundreds of miles away just to get a Hanjing Temple's magic lottery. Since you are here at the temple, you might as well go and ask for a lottery."
?”
Brother Ninth was very happy when he heard this, so the old monk personally led us to the main hall.
We ordinary people can only live in this world for only a few decades, but we have to taste all the ups and downs of life. But this Buddha, regardless of whether all living beings are happy or sad, angry or happy, has been smiling and looking silently for thousands of years.
With.
When I was still at home, every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, I would go up to the mountain to offer incense, and I would devoutly pray to the Buddha to give me a good husband. But since I received Feifengchai that year, I have speculated that the Buddha may be too busy.
After hearing the prayers of a little lady, I rarely set foot in the temple.
While I was in a daze, the old monk ordered the young novice to bring him a lotus tube.
Men seek a future, women seek marriage.
My marriage was already decided, so I didn't ask much about it, but Danyang hid aside early and paid homage to the statue.
The futures of Fifth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother and Young Master Xu have been destined to be bright and beautiful since they were born. It is useless to ask. I think that Senior Brother Xiaobai has to cast a fortune and predict the future.
Brother Xiaobai shook his plain fan and asked me calmly: "Why don't you ask for a fortune and ask about marriage?"
I said: "Fate is destined, you can't force it."
Brother Xiaobai chuckled lightly, took the bamboo stick, knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, shook it gently, and a bamboo stick popped out.
He stood up and glanced at me lightly, handed the bamboo stick to the old monk and said, "I'm asking about marriage."
