The strong man thought that Fang Zheng had forgotten him, so he spoke in a cooperative voice: "He cried like this after a nest of ants died. He is actually a kind person." After speaking, he glanced at the tea on the table.
Unfortunately, Fang Zheng still seemed not to notice, and continued: "Yes, he is indeed a good man and very kind. He has never killed an ant since he was a child. Unfortunately, he killed a whole nest this time.
He was very sad. He returned to the temple, took the wooden fish, and sat by the ant hole to chant sutras to save those ants. While chanting sutras, he cried and confessed his mistakes."
"Then what?" The strong man realized that the monk in front of him was too stingy and wanted to drink some tea. It was probably out of the question, so he began to listen to the story seriously.
Fang Zheng said: "He cried for three days and three nights. He was really sad and regretful."
The strong man asked: "Then has he become a Buddha?"
Fang Zheng did not answer, but continued: "At this time, a drunken butcher passed by. Seeing the young monk crying so sadly, he asked why. The young monk said that he killed a nest of ants.
I felt guilty and sad, so I cried. And I knelt here, chanted sutras, and stayed here for seven days and seven nights to save the souls of the ants and repent of my mistakes."
The strong man frowned and said nothing.
Fang Zheng continued: "After the butcher heard this, he was stunned. Then he sat on the ground and cried loudly!"
The little monk was puzzled and asked: "Donor, why are you crying?"
The butcher shouted: "That's all you did after killing a nest of ants. But I have been killing pigs since I was a child, and I have killed countless pigs! You have sinned so much, haven't I sinned so much? You regret it, and I regret it too."
ah!"
After saying that, the butcher threw away his pole and knife, and then shouted: "I won't kill pigs anymore. I will pay for my past mistakes with my life!"
After saying that, the butcher jumped off the cliff!
The young monk was shocked, and just as he was about to call out, he heard the cry of a crane, and then saw a white crane lifting the butcher into the sky, heading to the west. Faintly, he saw a Buddha on the horizon to answer him!"
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng took another sip of tea and then stopped talking.
When the strong man heard this, he froze on the spot. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Who is the crane here to pick up?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "What do you think?"
The strong man said: "I originally picked up the young monk, but unfortunately, the butcher jumped off the cliff first and repented, so I picked up the butcher, right?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said nothing.
The strong man nodded and said: "I understand. The young monk also put down his butcher knife and sincerely repented, but he has no chance of becoming a Buddha. If he wants to become a Buddha, he must take responsibility and jump off a cliff to atone for his sins..."
Fang Zheng still smiled and said nothing.
The strong man frowned and said, "Master, am I right?"
Fang Zheng then said: "Donor, do you have a mobile phone? Can you surf the Internet?"
The strong man nodded and said: "Of course, I'm not a primitive man, how could I not?"
"The story the poor monk just told is an allusion to how he put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately. Since the donor has a mobile phone and can access the Internet, why not check it on the Internet himself? If you check it online, everything will be clear, so why bother and ask for help from others?"
Fang Zheng continued to ask.
The strong man was stunned.
Fang Zheng continued: "Sometimes, it's not that the question is too difficult, but that the answer is right around you but you deliberately don't look at it, or even drift with it and follow what everyone else says. This is the scariest thing."
The strong man was speechless...
Having said this, Fang Zheng sighed, took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Donor, your friend is waiting for you."
The strong man then remembered that he had a friend. He just listened to what Fang Zheng had to say, but when he looked back, no one was there!
The strong man said angrily: "Master, how can you lie to others?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Donor, the poor monk has his back to the Buddhist hall, and you are facing the Buddhist hall. The poor monk does not know your friend, but you do. The poor monk does not know whether your friend comes out, but you look up.
You will know. Then, why did the donor listen to the poor monk and end up being deceived?"
The strong man opened his mouth, then closed it, opened it again, closed it again, and finally said bitterly: "I understand."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "What does the donor know?"
The strong man said: Fangzheng asked the strong man: "Donor, why did you call me Master Poor Monk just now?"
After thinking for a while, the strong man said seriously: "The reason why people are human is because they have thoughts. God has given everyone the ability to think, but many people have given up their own thoughts and simply accept other people's thoughts.
, and without distinguishing, it turns into one's own thoughts, thus changing from an individual to a part of other people's thoughts. It has to be said that being enslaved mentally is far more tragic than being enslaved physically. Even if the body is enslaved, it is still an individual.
If the spirit is not enslaved, you will no longer be yourself...
Master, I have learned a lesson.
Regarding the previous problem, I just listened to what others said and believed it casually. Now that I think about it, it’s really... shameful!"
Fang Zheng was really surprised by the understanding of the man in front of him. He looked unremarkable, but his inner understanding was enough to become a so-called master.
At this time, the strong man asked again: "Master, can I ask a real question?"
Fang Zheng nodded.
The strong man asked: "I know I'm not worthy of her, but I really can't let her go. I keep thinking and thinking..."
While the strong man was talking, Fang Zheng suddenly handed over a teacup.
The strong man subconsciously took it, Fangzheng picked up the teapot and poured it.
The strong man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that after so many winks, the other party wouldn't give him tea. Now he didn't ask for it, but he got it instead. This was really surprising.
However, at this moment, the tea was filled, and Fang Zheng was still pouring it. The strong man was scalded by the boiling water, and subconsciously let go. The tea cup fell on the table, and the tea spilled all over the table.
The strong man was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Zheng said: "There is no one or thing in the world that you can't let go of. If it hurts, you will naturally let it go."
The strong man suddenly realized, stood up and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice."
Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Donor, you can leave now."
The strong man nodded, turned around and saw that his friend had arrived behind him at some point. It was a woman. The woman frowned at the strong man and said calmly: "Let's go."
The strong man looked at the woman's cold eyes and felt a pain in his heart. He knew that she heard what he said and understood. He also understood her reaction.
The strong man sighed and said, "Okay, let's go."
After that, the two people left, but their backs were farther and farther away.
At this time, a child ran over, took the woman's hand and shouted: "Mom, Uncle Wang."
When Fang Zheng heard this, black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, I didn't pull the red line randomly, otherwise it would have been a big sin!"
At the same time, the monkey wrote down the entire conversation between Fang Zheng and the strong man, and muttered: "So this is how a master behaves, I understand... But in this case, I can also be a master! I will try it later.
