Chapter 282: Dean, why am I a monk worth ten thousand but not as good as a beggar?
…
"This... what on earth does this mean? Is it possible that I am a monk of ten thousand?
It's worse than a beggar giving away the rice juice left in the tile!" Kou Hong looked horrified.
It was as if I saw something chilling and heard something horrifying.
This had a huge impact on Kou Hong.
Kou Hong was once grateful that he was born at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and was lucky enough to be bathed in the light of Buddha.
The place where he is located is only eight hundred miles away from Lingshan Mountain.
Under the universal illumination of Buddha's light, people here live a stable life.
But one day Kou Hong suddenly felt that the wealth he owned could not continue to bring him happiness.
On the contrary, it became more painful.
Later, Kou Hong converted to Buddhism through the guidance of an eminent monk.
So he began to fast as a monk. In the process of fasting to support the monks,
Gradually I found that I had gained a certain amount of happiness.
But before he realized it, Kou Hong's heart was gradually controlled by the false honor brought by being a monk.
Kou Hong felt that after he became a monk and became a monk, he would receive certain blessings in the future.
You can even go to the Western Paradise.
But Li Ke's words woke him up like cold rain!
"I really don't understand,
Why do you say that I, a fasting monk, have ten thousand?
Not as good as a beggar’s charity?” Kou Hong’s eyes were full of hesitation and confusion.
Even a little scared.
Seeing that Li Ke didn't explain, Kou Hong scratched his head and urged Li Ke to speak.
Li Ke said, "The bandit member Waizhai Monk has ten thousand yuan, but in fact the money donated is compared with the total family property you own.
How much can that account for?
But a beggar himself has nothing,
The poor can't even have a full meal.
But if the remaining rice juice she asked for was given away,
Isn't it just giving away all his things...
Member, do you think your blessings can compare with hers?"
What he said shocked Kou Hong, but in fact Li Ke was also very uneasy inside.
This story is about how he saved a poor woman through the help of Maha Kasyapa.
I wonder if everyone at the foot of Lingshan Mountain knows this.
Judging from the situation and reaction, it seems to be okay.
Kou Hong's eyes seemed less cloudy and unclear.
“The rich plucked their hair and donated gold and silver,
Not as good as a poor man's sip of tea.
Besides, there is a huge difference between food giving and Dharma giving.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.”
Li Ke saw Kou Hong's eyes moved and his heart slightly changed, so he continued to persuade.
"Fabusi...what is this?
I'm just a mortal, I don't know magic,
Where does the Dharma alms come from?" Kou Hong was puzzled again.
Li Ke struck while the iron was hot, "I don't know what Buddhism says.
But I know that Wuji Academy has always adhered to this truth,
That is to say, whether it is Buddha nature, Tao heart, or spiritual roots, they are all differentiated by the roots of the Tao.
Human beings have it within themselves, so why do we need to ask for it from outside?"
Kou Hong felt an electric shock in his gut, and his whole body was numb.
"Sufficient in itself?
This seems to be interesting, I would like to hear the details!"
Li Ke thought for a while and said, "This is like a night pearl,
It can emit light itself,
It’s just that human beings’ greed, anger, ignorance and other desires in the world are woven into a gauze and wrapped up.
But at least if it's not wrapped thickly, there will still be some faint light coming through.
But when another layer of dust fell on the luminous pearl wrapped in cloth,
Then the light of this self-nature is completely blocked,
Nature is completely dark.
Can you say that this pearl has fallen into dust and is wrapped in gauze?
Is its color originally black?
Is there no light?"
"This...hiss...could it be said that each of us can embark on the path of cultivating immortals?" Hearing the words,
Kou Hong, a mortal who enjoyed all the wealth and luxury, suddenly became interested in cultivation.
"According to what Yuanwai himself knows about the way to cultivate immortality,
I'm not sure if everyone can set foot on it,
But I can be sure that Wuji Academy’s door to cultivation is
Any sentient being can enter.
It's just up to you how far you go and how deep your skills are." Li Ke smiled mysteriously.
