Qin Yu walked to Master Zhiren, who introduced him to Qin Yu: "Master Qin, this is Master Mingsheng, the vice president of our National Buddhist Association and the president of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association."
"I've met Master Mingsheng." Qin Yu nodded and said hello.
"Master Qin's fluorescent connotation is worthy of being a genius that is said to be rare in a century." Master Mingsheng praised with a kind smile on his face.
"This is Mr. Zheng Yusen from Hong Kong." After Qin Yu and Master Mingsheng greeted each other, Master Zhiren introduced the old man in Tang suit next to Qin Yu.
"Master Zhiren is wrong. Although I am in Hong Kong now, my ancestral home is still our Guangdong side." The old man in Tang suit smiled and shook his head, then looked at Qin Yu, stretched out his hand, and said: "Qin
Hello little brother!"
"Hello, Mr. Zheng!" Qin Yu did not dare to neglect, stepped forward and held the old man's hand. As a physiognomist, it is essential to observe people's faces. From the appearance of the old man in front of him, he is destined to be extremely wealthy.
Qin Yu knew in his heart that the other party was definitely a master whose net worth was no lower than that of Li Weijun.
After a few people exchanged greetings, Master Zhiren said to Qin Yu: "When layman Qin first came in, he should have noticed the changes in Guangxiao Temple."
Qin Yu nodded and replied: "I just heard from the little master who led the way that Guangxiao Temple is going to hold a water and land ceremony. It is really an act of immeasurable merit."
Qin Yu's admiration was sincere. The Water and Land Dharma Assembly was not a prayer meeting held in ordinary temples, nor was it a formalistic daily service. The Water and Land Assembly must arouse the six paths, eliminate disasters, pray for blessings, and save the souls of the dead. All of these require expenditures.
He has a lot of energy, and ordinary mages don't have this ability.
"Master Qin is ridiculous. This is what monks like us should do to help believers eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. We enjoy incense all day long and we must feed all living beings."
Master Zhiren recited the Buddha's name loudly, and the Great Master Mingsheng also chanted the same, which made Qin Yu a little curious. Could this Great Master Mingsheng be related to this water and land conference?
"The two masters are so humble. This Water and Land Dharma Assembly is a matter of supreme merit. I believe that tomorrow's Water and Land Dharma Assembly, under the leadership of Abbot Mingsheng of Guangxiao Temple, will surely make candles light up and flowers float ten miles away."
As soon as Zheng Yusen said these words, Master Zhiren and Master Mingsheng responded humbly at the same time: "Donor Zheng's words make us ashamed. It is because the Dharma is not enough and we dare not ask for auspiciousness from heaven."
After listening to Zheng Yusen's words, Qin Yu realized that the vice president of the National Buddhist Association and the president of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association was actually the abbot of Guangxiao Temple. No wonder he had just recited the Buddha's name with Master Zhiren.
As for what Zheng Yusen said about the lamps and candles illuminating themselves without lighting them, and the paintings floating ten miles away, Qin Yu also knew the meaning. This is the most famous allusion of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
The full name of the Shuilu Dharma Assembly is the Dharma Realm Saint Shuilu Pudu Dazhai Shenghui. It originated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty highly advocated Buddhism. One day, Emperor Wu of Liang dreamed of an old monk who said to him: "Six paths and four lives."
, suffering immeasurably, why not practice water and land (big fast) to help all the spirits."
Emperor Wu of Liang was a person who advocated Buddhism. After receiving a dream from an old monk, he searched for allusions in Buddhist scriptures. It was not until he found the allusion "Ananda met the ghost king" that Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly realized it and started to found this water and land.
Dharma assembly.
Emperor Wu of Liang prepared carefully for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly for three years, and finally built the Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang and held the first Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
When the Water and Land Dharma Assembly was about to begin, Emperor Wu of Liang held the Water and Land Rituals written over three years in the palace, opened a Taoist temple, lit no lamps and candles in front of the Buddha, and made a sincere wish: "If the Water and Land Dharma Assembly can help the six realms and benefit all living beings, I wish that
After I pray, I will not light the candles to illuminate themselves. Otherwise, the candles will be as dark as ever. Please turn on them."
After Emperor Wu of Liang made his vow, he prostrated in front of the Buddha. As soon as he prostrated, the palace suddenly became like daylight, with lamps and candles unlit. After three prostrations, fragrant flowers actually fell from the sky, and the whole palace suddenly appeared for ten miles.
When Emperor Wu of Liang saw this, his confidence greatly increased, and he finally decided to start the Water and Land Dharma Conference.
The allusion of lamps and candles lighting up and fragrance lingering for ten miles began to be widely circulated among Buddhist believers. Unfortunately, although many temples held water and land conferences in the future, this kind of vision only appeared twice, and the second time was
When Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty came back from studying scriptures, he was ordered by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to hold a land and water conference to educate the six realms. On that day, the entire city of Chang'an was shrouded in rays of light, and the fragrance spread for hundreds of miles.
Therefore, if you want to make the vision of fragrant fragrance appear ten miles away, it mainly depends on the profoundness of the Dharma of the Masters of the Water and Land Dharma Association. If they can really influence the four saints and six mortals and save the six realms, then the vision can appear.
However, there are not many masters who have reached this level of Buddhism. At least Zhiren and Mingsheng know that their realm is still a bit low. To achieve this step, at least there must be an eminent monk who is equivalent to the realm of a Taoist sixth-grade physiognomist to preside over it.
OK.
"Principal Qin, I invite you here today because I want to invite Practitioner Qin to come and observe the ceremony tomorrow at the Land and Water Dharma Assembly." Master Zhiren said to Qin Yu after reciting the Buddha's name.
"I know that your temple is going to hold a Water and Land Dharma Conference. Even if the master doesn't invite me, Xiaoke will have the shamelessness to attend." Qin Yu said jokingly, but this was also what he was thinking. The Water and Land Dharma Conference is the first grand gathering of Buddhism, so what can he do?
Might be willing to miss it.
"Don't worry, layman Qin. The Water and Land Dharma Ceremony will be held for seven days. Layman Qin can live in my monastery and watch the ceremony with Mr. Zheng as a special guest."
Master Zhiren smiled, but when Zheng Yusen heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know the background of this young man before, but now seeing Master Zhiren's attitude towards this young man, he
I was a little surprised.
Master Zhiren's attitude towards this young man was even better than his own. Zheng Yusen knew very well that the reason why he could sit here and have tea with the two masters was because this land and water conference was sponsored by him and all expenses were paid.
It was all paid for by him, but even so, during these seven days, he could only live in the guest room in the temple specially reserved for people like them, unlike the young man in front of him, who could live directly in Master Zhiren's house.
In the Zen monastery.
Zheng Yusen knew very well that with Master Zhiren's character, treating this young man like this must not be because of his family background. In terms of wealth, Zheng Yusen is the head of the Zheng family. He is very confident that there may be several families in the country with more wealth than him.
, but it will definitely not be the young man in front of him who will be the head of the family. In terms of status, only the direct descendants of the top families can be compared with him, but he has also seen the descendants of those families.
This young man looked strange at first glance, so he ruled it out.
Zheng Yusen began to become curious about the identity of the young man in front of him, but no matter what he thought, he would never think that Qin Yu was a Feng Shui master. It was because Qin Yu was too young and very confusing.
However, Master Zhiren did not introduce Qin Yu's identity. Only Master Mingsheng mentioned "a genius who is rare to see in a hundred years", but the scope of this sentence was too broad, so it was not mentioned.
"Mr. Zheng still doesn't know the identity of layman Qin." Master Mingsheng glanced at the confusion on Zheng Yusen's face. He and Master Zhiren are brothers, but Master Zhiren concentrates on studying Buddhism, and as the abbot, he has to distract himself from entertaining guests.
People, so they will be more mellow in dealing with people. In any case, if this water and land ceremony can be held, Zheng Yusen, as the sponsor, Master Mingsheng still has to have a good relationship with the other party.
"Jushi Qin is a member of the Metaphysical Society, and this year he won the honor of being the leader of the Guangzhou Metaphysical Society. He is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years in the world of Feng Shui fortune tellers."
"Oh!" After Zheng Yusen heard Master Mingsheng's words, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Qin Yu. In the eyes of his generation, they have always believed in Feng Shui. He did not expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be a
He is a Feng Shui physiognomist, and to be praised by these two masters, I guess he has quite a lot of attainments in Feng Shui physiognomy.
"The two masters are so complimentary. Xiao Ke has just entered the field of Feng Shui, so he doesn't dare to be called a genius." Qin Yu waved his hand and said modestly.
"If you are a monk and don't lie, layman Qin's achievements in the future are limitless and he has the potential to become a great master." Zhiren replied seriously.
"The potential of a grandmaster..."
Hearing this, Zheng Yusen was truly shocked. He understood the nature of these two masters. Since the two masters said this, it means that the young man in front of him really has the potential to become a master. Master, Zheng Yusen knows
, there has never been a master in Feng Shui since the Republic of China.
It is no exaggeration to say that a Feng Shui master will receive the most solemn courtesy from all major families wherever he goes, and even so, it depends on whether the master will give him face and whether he is willing to let them fawn over him.
Similarly, no one wants to offend a Feng Shui master. Otherwise, if the other party casually walks in front of the tombs of their ancestors, it will cause the family to decline. Moreover, today's society is different from ancient times. With the popularization of the legal system, they would not dare to
Use some coercive tactics on Feng Shui masters.
Although Master Zhiren only said that the young man in front of him has potential, Zheng Yusen did not dare to underestimate it. With the potential of a grandmaster, he can at least become a master-level figure, and he is also the top existence among masters.
In an instant, Zheng Yusen began to think about making friends.
Maybe this young man is not even a master now, but as a businessman, what Zheng Yusen is best at is investing. Making good connections before the other person becomes a master is much cheaper than waiting for the other person to become a master before making friends.
Moreover, he may not be able to use this investment, but his descendants can use it. Those who achieve great things should make foresight and look at everything for hundreds of years to benefit future generations and ensure the long-term prosperity of the family. (To be continued.)
