In fact, I know that the saying that the lottery in Mount Emei is very effective originated from Chiang Kai-shek. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek lived in Mount Emei during the Anti-Japanese War, and the eminent monk on the mountain once gave him a lottery saying: Victory leads to the river, defeat leads to the bay. There is another saying.
It is: victory cannot leave Sichuan, defeat cannot leave the bay. How true this matter is is difficult to say. However, Mount Emei is famous for Mao Zedong in modern times. His famous saying "Chiang Kai-shek is finally going down the mountain to pick peaches."
"" refers to the prophecy that Chiang Kai-shek lived on Mount Emei and was preparing to launch a civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
In addition, something happened when Chiang Kai-shek went up the mountain for the first time——
Before going up the mountain, Chiang Kai-shek had heard about the power of the Emei monkeys, so his entourage specially prepared a lot of delicious cans to take up the mountain. At that time, when he saw the monkeys coming up, Chiang Kai-shek ordered his followers to throw the cans. The monkeys were very excited at first and jumped after grabbing the cans.
It went aside. But the can was difficult to open, not to mention monkeys, even humans could not easily pry it open. The monkeys holding the cans showed their teeth and grinned, but they could not open it no matter what, and they squeaked and screamed in anxiety.
At this time, a monkey king jumped onto Chiang Kai-shek's sliding pole. The monkeys who thought they had been deceived immediately surrounded Chiang Kai-shek and his party. Chiang Kai-shek, who was lying on the sliding pole, had never seen such a rude monkey.
He couldn't hit him, was frightened and couldn't move away. In desperation, he habitually took off the top hat on his head and waved it upward. At this time, something strange happened. The monkey king jumped away first, and the group of monkeys cheered.
And disperse.
So the follower who was good at flattering immediately said that this was an auspicious sign. Chiang Kai-shek was the real dragon emperor and the real king. Chiang Kai-shek took off his hat. The monkey king thought that the real king was angry. How dare he not lead the monkeys to disperse?
But at that time, some people did not believe that there was such a miracle, so someone asked the Emei monk for confirmation, but it was confirmed. Then he asked: Is the monkey king really afraid of the real king? The monk pointed to his head and smiled.
People suddenly realized that this was not a monkey king meeting a true king, but a monkey afraid of being bald.
We started to go up the mountain, and I told Zhu Dan these allusions about Mount Emei at the same time. She was very surprised, "How do you know so much?"
I smiled and said, "On weekdays, I like to read unofficial histories and stuff. Besides, I'm a medical student and have a good memory, so I remembered it."
Not to mention, the scenery on the mountain is really nice in this season.
The broken tree is thick and strong, with most of it stuck in the air, and the other half in the vines or on the edge of the cliff or in the pool. It is mysterious and full of ancient charm. Seeing these, a kind of tragic beauty still surges in my emotions. At this moment
, we were in a mountain col on the way to Mount Emei, and I was looking up at a big broken tree.
The tree caught the wind? Thunder and lightning struck? I don’t know why, when did it break? What was the situation at that time? This is the regeneration of a big tree after its nirvana. The lush and green sky of dead trees transformed by cicadas. The unique posture shows the spirit of Zhigao.
So majestic, I think it is so similar to the Venus de Milo: stunning, beautiful, sturdy, and artistic.
The bushes in Wumeng are densely packed, and some unknown flowers are in full bloom. Flowers are blooming in thousands of mountains and on thousands of peaks.
Standing on Taiziping, leaning on the golden top of the railing, the blooming flowers of Mount Emei are like camouflage uniforms covering the green mountains, clusters, puffs, patches, peaks, ravines, and mountains.
Their colorful colors, fairy-like realm, and majestic momentum are really intoxicating.
We went up the mountain very slowly. It was just a kind of fun. We stopped and walked, took pictures, or sat next to each other. So I didn't feel tired. On the contrary, my heart was filled with endless warmth.
In the meantime, we stayed at a temple in the middle of the mountain for a long time. Zhu Dan was going to draw lots inside.
A lottery costs 100 yuan. Zhu Dan paid for it without hesitation and refused to let me pay for her. She said: "Sincerity is the best, I have to pay the money myself. You can also draw one later."
Let’s take a look.”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She drew one and it was signed, and the content of the signature was: Self-preservation and stability will lead to success before others; don't be very happy, follow the dragon to the nine heavens.
She read the signature several times, with confusion on her face, and then asked me: "What does this mean?"
I took it and read it over, then said to her with a smile: "It's indeed a good sign, it's really good. This sign means that as long as you concentrate on it, if you can seize the opportunity, you may achieve a lot."
A great success, and you will also meet noble people, and your future will be bright."
She immediately laughed, "It's really accurate. If I didn't come to you for help, I wouldn't have been transferred to the provincial TV station, let alone become the host of a program. So you are the noble person in my life.
."
I suddenly felt that this sign seemed to be quite accurate, and I couldn't help thinking: Am I really the noble person destined by God for her?
She added: "This lottery is so accurate, I will draw another one."
I stopped her in a hurry, "Don't... I heard that you can only draw lots once a day. If you draw too many, it won't be allowed."
She looked at me and said, "Is this really true?"
I smiled and nodded: "Yes. Sincerity will lead to success. Once is enough. If it happens more times, it means that your heart is not sincere, because you are doubting. You have already signed it, what else do you want?"
She smiled and said: "That's true. Then I won't smoke anymore, so you can smoke one too."
I waved my hand to her and said, "I won't smoke anymore because I don't really believe in this thing."
But she came over and shook my arm, "Draw it, I really want to know what's written on the lot you drew."
I had no choice but to smoke it because I didn't want to make her unhappy over such a small thing. Isn't it just entertainment? Why take it so seriously?
So I followed her example and knelt on the futon. In front of me was the kind and majestic Tathagata Buddha. I closed my eyes and shook the lottery tube. Soon, a lottery fell to the ground and I picked it up and looked at it.
Look, it's a winning lottery ticket, and it says: Buddha's Dharma is kind to those who are destined, and Bodhisattva's salvation has saved more people; if you are a rootless grass, it will be difficult for the gods to protect you.
After reading it, I suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Dan also came to see it, and then asked me: "What do you mean?"
So I explained to her: "The meaning of this lot is that no matter how great the Dharma is, a person must have a predestined relationship with the Dharma before he can benefit from the Dharma. Bodhisattvas are compassionate and do everything for all living beings.
Saving oneself is also for those who have not encountered Buddhism. However, if these people have no good roots and are unwilling to learn Buddhism, then they have no connection with Buddha, and it will be difficult for these people to understand each other with Buddha.
Because if you don’t learn Buddhism, you will create a lot of bad karma. If you don’t accumulate good roots and merit for yourself, when the bad consequences are ripe and retribution comes, it will be difficult to recover.”
Her expression suddenly changed, "Then, how could this be the winning lottery? It should have been the lower lottery?"
I smiled and said: "This shows that I am not that bad. So Buddha thinks there is still a possibility of saving me."
She immediately laughed and said, "You are not bad to begin with."
I smiled lightly. In fact, I don’t really believe in these things. For example, this lottery is completely random. And there are only dozens of lots in the lot. I don’t believe that there are so many people in this world, but the total destiny is
