Her quietness seemed to open the closed door of her heart overnight, and she was no longer lonely and autistic, like a different person.
She looked back at the temple not far away - the old abbot, so amazing!
She stood up and helped Jian You stand up, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest for a while."
As soon as they returned to the wing, the young monk brought them a fast meal. Just in time, they had breakfast, returned the tableware, and the two of them lay back on the bed to catch up on their sleep.
Lying in their respective rooms, separated by a thin door panel, they thought about their own thoughts.
Jing Tianer was guessing what the old abbot had said to Jianyou last night. Jianyou was thinking that the old abbot was right. After last night, he felt much more at ease in his heart. When he fell asleep again, he would not
Are you haunted by nightmares?
Last night, not long after he fell asleep, he dreamed of Jing Tian'er, covered in blood, calling for help from him. She stood in the firelight, surrounded by raging fire. She stretched out her hands towards him, with despair on her face, and shouted to him
name.
He was standing not far from her, trying with all his strength to pounce on her and save her, but his feet seemed to be nailed by nails and he couldn't move at all.
He was so anxious that he was covered in sweat and was in pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he had no choice but to move. He could only watch her despairingly being engulfed by the fire bit by bit.
He screamed heartbreakingly and woke up from his sleep crying loudly, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
He drank a whole glass of cold water to suppress his racing heart, got dressed and went out, taking a deep breath under the night sky.
The old abbot walked towards him slowly and asked him if he was suffering from a nightmare.
The old abbot was pacing under the moonlight and was attracted by his shrill cry. There was still sweat on his forehead and his face was as pale as paper.
The old abbot calmly enlightened him and said that if he had anything he was confused about, he could tell him and help him resolve it.
The two of them sat down in front of the stone table, and he lowered his eyes and told the story of his nightmare for many years.
Since leaving home two years ago, he has often had dreams like this.
In the dream, Jing Tian'er always encounters various dangers, and in the dream, he tries his best to save her, but every time he watches her being swallowed up by the danger, unable to do anything.
And after waking up from the nightmare, there is endless fear and self-blame.
The old abbot looked at him lovingly and smiled, "Because of certain things and experiences, you are too afraid of losing. And from your dream, it seems that the thing you are most afraid of losing is your sister. You value her too much, lest she
If you get hurt a little, you will think about it every day and dream about it at night. She will be in your heart all the time, and these dreams will start over and over again without any end."
The old abbot gave him some explanations, and finally told him that if he couldn't sleep, he could pray for his sister, and the Buddha would bless his sister with happiness and peace in her life.
He walked to the foot of the mountain without hesitation and followed the method taught to him by the old abbot, kneeling down and worshiping devoutly along the way.
When I walked to the top of the mountain and saw the majestic, compassionate and solemn golden Buddha statue in the open temple door, my heart that had been wandering suddenly fell to the ground and I felt peaceful.
At this moment, Jing Tian'er was sleeping next door to him. He gently pressed his palms against the wooden board and slowly closed his eyes. He had a sweet and sound sleep, and he slept until three o'clock in the morning before someone put her hand on his cheek.
Warm and soft palms evoke.
He opened his eyes drowsily, and above his head, Jing Tian'er was looking at him with a smile.
