Two hundred and sixtieth chapters distinguish between true and false
"Because I have seen the Ksitigarbha Merit Sutra handwritten by the real Master Yunbo elsewhere!"
Seeing Shopkeeper Li's angry look, Qin Yu's expression became a little strange. He had seen this Ksitigarbha Merit Sutra handwritten by Master Yunbo in the hands of another person, and he could guarantee that that one was the real one.
"You can't prove that this book of Xiangbaozhai is fake even if you have seen it." Qin Yu's words made shopkeeper Li stunned for a moment. It is difficult for someone to write the same scripture twice, so Li
The shopkeeper just didn't say it so directly. His subtext was: the one you saw is fake.
"Mr. Qin, where did you see it?" Mo Yongxin asked doubtfully.
"I saw this Ksitigarbha Merit Sutra transcribed by Master Yunbo from a master at Guangxiao Temple in GZ. Like this sutra, it also has the seal of Master Yunbo on the back."
During the days when he was eliminating bad karma at GZ Guangxiao Temple, Qin Yu often sat in meditation and discussed Taoism with Master Zhiren. Master Zhiren also showed him this Bodhisattva Sutra, and Qin Yu can guarantee that Master Zhiren’s copy is absolutely authentic.
, and this one is just a copy of it.
"Could it be that Master Yunbo copied two copies at the same time?" Meng Fang expressed his opinion at the side.
"Impossible." Qin Yu and Shopkeeper Li shook their heads at the same time. This master monk copied scriptures and stamped them with Dharma seals, so there can only be one copy of the same scripture. This is called the non-duplicate transmission of Dharma.
When the eminent monks copied these scriptures, they brought their own cultivation insights into it. It is impossible to have a second scripture like this. If what Qin Yu said is true, then only
It can be said that either the Xiangbaozhai book or the one in the hands of Master Zhiren is fake.
"Mr. Qin, I have heard of Master Zhiren's name, but I can't say that the old book in Master Zhiren's hands is authentic." Shopkeeper Li still didn't want to believe that the book in his shop was fake.
In fact, Qin Yu did not originally intend to say that this scripture was fake, but he just planned to find an appropriate opportunity to point it out to Mo Yongxin. Based on Mo Yongxin's IQ, Qin Yu believed that she would understand with just a little reminder.
But now everyone knew that Mo Yongxing was shouting, and Qin Yu also knew that he could only produce evidence to prove that this scripture was false in front of everyone.
"Brother Fang, this string of Buddhist beads on your body is quite beautiful. It must have been exposed to light." Qin Yu looked at the string of Buddhist beads on Fang Ning's wrist and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with Buddhist scriptures.
.
Fang Ning was stunned by Qin Yu's question. Wasn't he talking about the authenticity of Buddhist scriptures? Why did he pull the beads in his hand? However, he was confused, so Fang Ning still answered.
: "Yes, this string of Buddhist scriptures was indeed consecrated by a senior monk."
Fang Ning's tone was a bit proud. It was not easy to get this string of beads. It took him a lot of effort. Since putting on this string of beads, Fang Ning could feel that his mood seemed to be much more peaceful than before, so for this
I love the Buddhist beads very much.
"In fact, Master Yunbo, as a generation of eminent monks, must have injected his own understanding of the Buddhist scriptures and his cultivation when he transcribed the Buddhist scriptures. If this scripture is true, you can tell it by lighting Zen incense." Qin
Yu smiled and said: "Similarly, the string of Buddhist scriptures in Brother Fang's hand is also the same. The beads that have been consecrated by the eminent monk are themselves blessed by the eminent monk's mindfulness. You only need to light three Zen incense sticks to know whether they are true or false."
Zen incense is very common. It is available in Xiangbaozhai store. Generally, when entertaining guests or appraising antiques, they will light a Zen incense and drink tea and talk. Although this antique buying and selling is also a transaction, for literati and refined people, it is just for fun.
It's about culture, so naturally it's not that vulgar. Sometimes the buyer will even sit down with the store owner and chat for hours about the culture and history of the antique. These are all normal things.
Shopkeeper Li glanced at Qin Yu and said nothing. He turned around and greeted a shop assistant. After a while, the shop assistant came over with a few sticks of Zen incense.
"Since Mr. Qin said that this Zen incense can be used to distinguish the authenticity of this scripture, Mr. Qin might as well open my eyes." This is the first time Shopkeeper Li has heard about Zen incense distinguishing authenticity, so naturally he doesn't believe it.
.
"It's not very convenient here. How about we go back to the previous hall?" Qin Yu smiled. There was definitely nothing the others could do, but it couldn't stop him.
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Li nodded in agreement.
So they returned to the backyard hall again. Meng Yao asked worriedly beside Qin Yu: "Qin Yu, are you sure? If not, let's forget it."
"Don't worry, I won't speak if I'm not sure." Qin Yu gave Meng Yao a reassuring look, followed behind Shopkeeper Li, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Back in the hall, shopkeeper Li also found an incense burner. Qin Yu did not rush to light the Zen incense, but said to Fang Ning: "Brother Fang, take off your Buddhist beads."
Fang Ning heard this and took off the beads, but did not hand them to Qin Yu. Instead, he put them on the table. It is best not to let others handle such personal wear items. This was the reminder from the person who originally sold him this string of beads.
Yes, Qin Yu naturally understood this rule and did not take over.
Things like bracelets and jade pendants that are worn next to the body are different from dead objects like gold and silver. If worn for a long time, they will be tainted with a trace of the owner's breath. Don't let other people pass such things easily. It is very likely that
It will cause other people's breath to contaminate the bracelet and jade pendant, causing the original spirituality to become invalid.
Fang Ning's string of Buddhist beads that have been consecrated and blessed by eminent monks cannot be touched by others. This string of beads has gradually adapted to Fang Ning's aura and will slowly nourish Fang Ning's energy and spirit. If
Different people, especially those whose auras are in conflict with each other, are likely to have the aura of Fang Ning sensed by this prayer bead washed away again, and it will take a long period of wearing for it to fade away.
The beads resonated again.
This principle is actually very common in reality. Even if it is an ordinary thing, such as a copper coin sold at a street stall, or a string of rope chains, people who have worn it for a long time will often get used to it, and sometimes even feel that this thing should have
Spirituality, in fact, this is the principle of aura induction.
Everything has its own aura, which varies in strength and size. For the same string of Buddhist beads, the auras of those that have been illuminated and those that have not been illuminated are different. When the Buddha's aura has been illuminated, it is different from wearing it.
As the person's aura gradually assimilates, it will begin to feed back and continuously replenish the wearer's energy. This is the real role of those consecrated objects.
Of course, some special consecrated objects also have other functions, which depends on the amount of mindfulness instilled by the eminent monk and mage who consecrated them and the scriptures recited.
Back to the subject, after Fang Ning placed the Buddhist beads on the table, Qin Yu picked up three Zen incense sticks. However, Qin Yu did not light the Zen incense directly. Instead, he held the Zen incense in his hand, flipped it upside down, and turned over the three hundred and six sticks.
Ten degrees.
After that, Qin Yu lit three Zen incense sticks and put them on the incense burner. After doing all this, Qin Yu walked away so that everyone could see the Zen incense.
"Qin Yu, what are you doing?"
After Mo Yongxing saw Qin Yu lighting the Zen incense, he ignored it and asked doubtfully. His words also raised the common question of everyone present.
"Just pay attention to the smoke of this Zen incense for a while."
Qin Yu's words attracted everyone's attention to the Zen incense. The Zen incense was lit and wisps of cigarettes rose up. After everyone looked at it for a while, they discovered the problem and everyone's eyes widened.
Normally, cigarettes float upwards, but after these three Zen incense sticks were lit, the cigarettes did not float upwards. Instead, they floated towards the Buddhist beads on the table. After a while, the Buddhist beads appeared in the eyes of everyone.
It became hazy, because the wisps of cigarette smoke lingering around the beads had blocked everyone's sight.
"What's going on? This Buddhist bead can still smoke? Brother Fang, where did you get it? Is it equipped with high technology?" Although the scene in front of me goes against common sense, in comparison, it is not surprising.
He was so surprised that he couldn't accept it. At this moment, Mo Yongxing made a joke about Fang Ning.
"Don't talk nonsense, these are Buddhist beads consecrated by an eminent monk." Fang Ning said seriously.
Fang Ning's tone was very serious, which made Mo Yongxing feel a little boring. He was just joking, so he was so serious.
In fact, what Mo Yongxing didn't know was that Fang Ning had paid a lot to get this string of Buddhist beads, and since Fang Ning would carry the beads, he was also a believer in Buddhism. For people like Fang Ning who believed in Buddhism,
All jokes related to Buddha are forbidden. Mo Yongxing's words are quite disrespectful to the consecrating monk. Naturally, Fang Ning cannot accept this.
"This string of Buddhist beads?" Shopkeeper Li looked at the beads and turned around to ask Qin Yu. Everyone present knew clearly that Qin Yu must know the reason. He requested this Zen incense, and naturally this strange phenomenon was also certain.
He had already expected it.
We know that Zen incense can calm the mind and calm the air, and in most temples, some masters will light a Zen incense while meditating. In fact, in addition to calming the mind and calming the air, Zen incense also has another important role.
There is an old saying: People compete for a breath, and Buddha competes for a stick of incense. Incense is a medium for people to communicate with gods and Buddhas. When people worship incense and pray to Buddha, people's psychological thoughts are conveyed through the smoke of these Zen incense.
If there are people who believe in Buddhism or have family members who believe in Buddhism, you can know by asking. There are several types of Zen incense in temples. The cheaper ones cost a few yuan a dozen, and the expensive ones cost hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
, there is no bottom.
Of course, there are free ones, but as I mentioned before, people who worship Buddha rarely use free incense. The reason has been mentioned before, so I won’t repeat it here.
What is the difference between ordinary incense and expensive incense? As we all know, the biggest difference is definitely the difference in materials used in production.
