"Master, such profound Buddhist teachings!" Liu Dong couldn't help but said.【,
Although he is not a high-level student of Buddhism, he has heard Master Xiang talk about the practice of Buddhism. The ugly-looking old monk in front of him has obviously reached the state of "neither seeing nor hearing, neither emptiness nor nature"! A Buddha
If the heart is pure and dust-free, and it is free from the three poisons of greed, ignorance, and anger, no more disturbances in the world can disturb its mind!
To put it simply, it is the ‘innocent mind’!
Apart from Master Cheap Enlightenment, this is the second time that Liu Dong has seen this kind of Buddhist supreme mind cultivation in another person. And this kind of cultivation is also difficult for him to match at the moment!
"The donor has given you too much praise! The Dharma is illegal and is just a way to persuade people to do good! With bodhicitta and a sincere mind, wherever I look back, there are Dharma, good Dharma, and mental Dharma everywhere!" The old monk's words echoed like drums in the evening and bells in the morning.
In Liu Dong's heart, he couldn't help but feel no noise or irritability at all. Instead, there was a sense of calmness and sincerity permeating his heart.
"Master's Dharma is so profound that Liu Dong cannot practice it and understand the three flavors!"
"Since you can't understand it, why don't you enter my Samana and seek the true meaning of Tripitaka in order to achieve transcendence!" the old monk said with a calm expression.
"The difference between what Master said is that if you have a Buddha mind, even the world of mortals is still a place for practice. If your mind is not sincere, even if you enter Buddhism and wear monk robes, you will not be able to get rid of the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance."
After Liu Dong finished speaking, a smile appeared on the old monk's face, "What the donor said is true, but the old monk has a portrait!"
"Master, what you said is wrong. It's not because you don't understand, it's just a test!"
"Haha. Even if it is a test, it is also out of true intention! The donor has deep Buddha bones and three feet of Buddha's light. He has a great connection with my Buddhist sect. Why not get rid of the pain of the world of mortals and put aside all other worldly practices!"
The monk laughed and said.
"Leave everything behind?" Liu Dong shook his head secretly in his heart. He couldn't let go of everything. If he really did, I'm afraid he would just practice with Master Jiamian in Wuxin Zen Temple, and he wouldn't come to Jiming Temple in Jinling!
"What the master said is very light! If I leave everything behind and join the Samanaa, wouldn't I be living up to the kindness of my parents in raising me, the meaning of my friends in times of adversity, and the love of my husband and wife? If I have no love and no sex, then what's the point of becoming a monk? How can I prove it through spiritual practice?
Just the Buddha’s heart? Didn’t even the master struggle in the world of mortals back then?” Looking at the scar on the old monk’s face, it was obvious that there was an extraordinary story behind this scar.
And after Liu Dong finished speaking, the slight fluctuation in the old monk's eyes obviously revealed that Liu Dong's guess just now was not false!
"Since the donor has no intention of becoming a monk, the old monk will not force it any more. However, I have a volume of the "Many Hearts Sutra" here to pass on to the donor. I hope the donor will practice more and then he will be able to understand the true meaning of my Buddha!"
"Master, please speak!" Liu Dong said with his hands clasped together.
The old monk nodded and slowly closed his eyes. He clasped his hands together, and then the old voice echoed in the Buddhist hall like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, walking in the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, saw that all the five aggregates are empty, and the
All the hardships. Relics...!"
…
While Liu Dong was listening to the "Multi Heart Sutra" taught by the old monk, outside the Zen monastery, Chen Mo and Liang Sicheng, who could not find Liu Dong, had already called Pan Yun!
"What? You said Liu Dong was led to this temple by a monk?" Liang Sicheng said in surprise after listening to Pan Yun's description.
"Um!"
Pan Yun nodded.
"When we came here, we didn't hear Liu Dong say that he had a monk friend in Jiming Temple?"
After Liang Sicheng finished speaking, Pan Yun'emei frowned and said, "It seems that Liu Dong doesn't know the monk here!"
"Don't know? How could you go with that monk if you don't know him?" Chen Fang didn't believe it.
Pan Yun shook his head, he didn't know what Liu Dong was thinking.
"Okay, whether Liu Dong knows that monk or not, let's just sit here and wait for him to come out!" Chen Mo said.
"Wait? Pan Yundu has been waiting here for almost an hour. If Liu Dong doesn't come out, do we have to wait here all the time?" Sun Hui said with some dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, Liu Dong really didn't care about women at all. A monk he didn't know was actually more attractive than a friend who was like a flower. And he made Pan Yun wait outside the door for an hour without even coming out to inform her.
, simply too much!
"Okay, please stop saying a few words! I don't think Liu Dong did it on purpose. He must have been stopped by the monk inside! No, I want to go in and take a look!"
As the impatient Liang Sicheng said this, he walked over and pushed the temple door open.
"Hey, don't go in...!"
Before Pan Yun finished speaking, there was a "squeak" sound, and the originally closed black wooden door opened from the inside.
When Liu Dong came out and saw the scene in front of the door, he was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "Everyone is here!"
"Liu Dong?" After shouting in surprise, Liang Sicheng quickly stepped forward to pull his friend over and said anxiously, "What are you doing in there? Why didn't you come out until now? I wonder if Pan Yun is still waiting for you outside?"
"
He really didn't want to see Liu Dong and Pan Yun, who had just matched up and were already so interesting, miss out on their marriage because of an accident!
"How long have I been in here?" Looking at the look on Liang Sicheng's face, Liu Dong, who understood more or less, asked quickly.
"How long? It's been an hour!"
"An hour?" Liu Dong looked surprised at first, then a little surprised and annoyed.
He also didn't expect that an hour had passed since he woke up after being immersed in the "Poly Heart Sutra" written by the old monk in the Buddhist hall.
At that moment, Liu Dong hurriedly took two steps forward, and then said with a look of shame: "Pan Yun, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault for keeping you waiting for so long!"
"It doesn't matter!" Pan Yun shook his head.
After hearing Liu Dong's sincere apology, the trace of resentment she had accumulated after waiting for a long time dissipated at this moment.
"Liu Dong, I say you are too unmanly, how could you let us wait outside for you for more than an hour?" Chen Fang said, feeling unfair for her friend.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I promise I won't do it again in the future!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Okay, Fangfang, Liu Dong has also apologized, so don't hold on to him!" Pan Yun said quickly.
"Oh, I got you here so quickly. Okay, Liu Dong, we, Miss Yun, rejected so many handsome and rich second-generation guys in school, but we didn't expect that you would succeed in just one afternoon!"
"Damn Fangfang, what are you talking about? I won't teach you a lesson!" Pan Yun, whose face was blushing from his best friend's unbridled words, stretched out his slender hand towards Chen Fang's armpit.
"Hee hee, I got it right, I'm so angry! Ah, Xiaohui, come and help me! Hee hee, haha!"
After a while, the three girls were already playing together. The crisp sound of silver bells also added a bit of spring color to the ancient temple.
"Okay, Liu Dong! I was worried about you messing up just now. I didn't expect you to be so clever. You managed to take care of Pan Yun, a beautiful woman, in less than an afternoon! I really belong to you!" Liang Sicheng walked up.
He patted Liu Dong hard on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Let's go! They're gone!" Chen Mo came over and said.
Liu Dong nodded, turned towards the middle-aged monk who was standing outside the temple door and led him here, clasped his palms together and saluted with a half bow, "Master, farewell!"
"Donor, let's go!"
After nodding, Liu Dong walked outside with his two friends.
"Hey, Liu Dong, tell us, what did you do when you went to the temple for nearly an hour just now?" Liang Sicheng asked curiously.
"Listen to the scriptures!"
"Listen to the sutra?" Liang Sicheng was stunned for a while, savoring it, and then he understood and said in surprise, "No, what Buddhist sutra? It's so long-winded, I feel a headache after listening to even one sentence, and you can actually listen to it for an hour?"
"
"This means that everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables. If your six roots are impure, you will naturally not understand the beauty of this Buddhist scripture!" Chen Mo said.
"You seem to understand what you said. Why don't you also say a few Buddhist scriptures to me?"
"It's simple, emptiness is form, form is emptiness...!"
Looking at Chen Mo who was speechless after two sentences, Liang Sicheng pointed at his nose and mocked: "I knew you knew these two sentences!"
Seeing the two friends laughing and scolding, Liu Dong couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"The world of mortals. Without this world of mortals, wouldn't this life be too boring? If the pain of the mortal world were gone, I'm afraid this Buddha would no longer be a Buddha!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong turned his head and looked behind him, who was about to disappear.
After taking a look at the Buddhist temple, he turned around and followed a few friends down the mountain.
Then, a group of six people wandered around Jiming Temple for more than an hour before taking the car back.
This time, I don't know if the three girls wanted to whisper something, but they actually drove Chen Mo and Liang Sicheng to Liu Dong's car.
Fortunately, when they came to Jinling this time, they stayed in the same hotel as Liu Dong, so there was no need to waste time reversing the car.
"By the way, Liu Dong, do you know that when we come to Jinling this time, our first stop is Jiming Temple?"
"Why?" Liu Dong, who was driving, asked casually.
"Because of the treasure?"
"Treasure?" Liu Dong said after smiling in surprise, "What? Didn't the Great Western King's treasure teach you a lesson? If the treasure at this time was really so easy to find, it would have been dug up long ago, so why not
It’s your turn!”
"Okay, Liu Dong, don't talk nonsense to him! This guy is obsessed with money! He is addicted to digging for treasures! On the way from the mountain city, he insisted on telling me about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasures in Jiming Temple, and he didn't know
Where did you hear that?" Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"Treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" These six words made Liu Dong's heart move.
"Is there really a treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Jiming Temple? Many books say so. Otherwise, why didn't the Qing army find even one tael of silver after they attacked Jinling?" Liang Sicheng said hurriedly.
"Okay, even if the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are hidden! But Jinling City is so big, how can it happen to be in Jiming Temple? Why can't it be hidden in Qixia Temple, Tongtai Temple, or Confucius Temple? Okay, don't think about this.
It’s unrealistic. Let’s take good care of our crocodiles and earn money honestly. It’s better than any treasure!” Chen Mo scolded slightly.
"I'm just saying that, and I didn't really say that I was going to dig up any treasures...!"
The two people sitting in the back seat, arguing over the treasure, did not notice that Liu Dong's eyes had a hint of thinking at this moment. (To be continued.)
