Zheng Jiaxing said: "I want to fight against gambling, so I will take ourselves as an example and publicize it in every village. I hope everyone will not fall into that pit again."
"I'm happy if you think so. Just go ahead and I'll support you in whatever you do." Li Na smiled.
"Dad, I support you too!" Zheng Xiaoyu shouted.
"Son, you have finally grown up..." Zheng Huo sighed...
…
At this moment, Fang Zheng had already returned to Yizhi Mountain. He was eating, chanting sutras, and when he had nothing to do, he would call a few disciples over to talk about sutras. He lived a very leisurely life. As for incense and other things, Fang Zheng no longer wanted to
It’s sad, people come every day, and the incense never stops.
The only thing that made Fang Zheng unhappy was that he had done so many things, but how come none of them caused a stir in society?
Crossing the river with a reed? Being regarded as a liar.
Lotus tongue blooming? No one mentioned it at all!
I sent a bunch of fake charities, but no one seemed to care.
Now that Xia Shan has solved the problem of gambling, the police have arrested people, and the incident has been on the news, but it seems that it has nothing to do with him!
…
Fang Zheng didn't know that what he did was too unbelievable. Some insiders did not tell the outside world out of kindness to him. Occasionally, they did say it to the outside world, but because no insider came forward to testify, it became false propaganda. Except for these people nearby,
, there are more people scolding him from afar. After all, although he has done a lot of things, not many people know who he is.
Fang Zheng lay on the wall every day, staring at the large number of pilgrims arriving, but, alas...
"System, when will my temple be upgraded? The incense is so strong, isn't it much worse than Hongyan Temple?" Fang Zheng asked.
"What does it have to do with me whether your temple is upgraded or not?" the system asked.
"No...don't you care about this?" Fang Zheng was stunned.
"You yourself said before that there is no difference in the size of temples? It's just for worshiping the Buddha. A square inch is enough. The size of the heart determines the size of the temple. Why do you care so much about the size of the temple?" the system asked.
Fang Zheng was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "I don't care about the size of the temple, but Dad Yi Zhi was very concerned about it back then. His biggest dream was to develop Yi Zhi Temple and turn it into a large temple that is second to none! And you just came here.
Time, didn’t I say that too..."
"I said I would help you become a master and make the temple the largest temple. Is your temple too small now? People will not increase in value because they live in mountains, but mountains will increase in value because of people with high moral standards. Since ancient times,
, I’ve only heard of mountains that are famous for their people, but I’ve never heard of people who are famous for their mountains.” System said.
Fang Zheng said: "I understand all this, but..." But after a long time, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he had also misunderstood what Yizhi Zen Master meant? When he said big, didn't it mean that it was architecturally big? It wasn't that there were many monks.
?But...
Fang Zheng suddenly remembered what he had asked Zen Master Yizhi when he was a child. At that time, a rich man wanted to expand a few halls to the temple, but Zen Master Yizhi refused. Fang Zheng couldn't figure it out at the time, so he asked: "Master, why?"
Why refuse? Our dilapidated house has been demolished, why not replace it with something new? Other people’s temples are so big, so ours is too small."
Zen Master Yizhi shook his head and said: "Having money but no virtue is a disaster, not only for yourself but also for others. As a teacher, your Buddhist practice, your own virtue, and the merits for the world are not enough, so you rashly build a big temple to serve as a teacher."
I'm afraid I can't hold it back. Fangzheng, remember, everything is empty. Everything you see is empty. When you leave, you can't take anything with you. Only what is in your heart is real. You
When the heart is big, the temple will be big. When the temple in the heart is big, it can withstand wind and rain, and then you are qualified to guard a bigger temple. If the heart is still where it is, it will be nothing more than giving you a mountain or a palace.
It’s just a bigger cage.”
Fang Zheng didn't understand what he said at the time, but later he realized something, that is, no matter how big or small the temple is, sincerity is the most important thing. But now it seems that the meaning of this sentence is more than this... Temples can't be big.
, but it must be matched with virtue.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng nodded silently and understood the path of his future struggle. The only way is to cultivate oneself, cultivate merit externally, and grow together.
After thinking everything through and having his thoughts clear, Fang Zheng felt extremely comfortable and said with a smile: "System, three mission rewards have been accumulated. Let's draw a lottery. I'm starting to look forward to this reward."
"Do you want to smoke now?" the system asked.
"Yes!" Fang Zheng said with great certainty.
"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the Buddhist building, Morning Bell!" the system said.
When Fang Zheng heard this, he was immediately ecstatic. What is the symbol of a temple? No, morning bells and evening drums are! Whether it is ancient or modern times, people often hear the sound of bells and drums without seeing the temple. The morning bells and evening drums have also become a kind of temple and Taoist temple.
Code name, when you hear this sound, there is probably a temple or Taoist temple nearby.
Bells, a native of China, originated in the government and were later used by Buddhism and Taoism. However, their uses are different from each other.
In Taoism, the bell is called a Taoist bell. In addition to its function of telling time, it is also a magical instrument and architectural decoration. In many famous Taoist temples, there are big bells hanging high on the top! Its existence can

It is not only the most iconic ritual instrument for worship, but is also considered to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and warding off evil spirits. It is one of the most important ritual instruments of Taoism. Therefore, Taoism
It is called Dharma bell, Dharma bell. Large Taoist temples have bell towers, and there are rituals of morning bells and evening drums every day. This alerts practitioners to work hard, be brave and diligent, not to be indolent, and to relax themselves.
"Tao Shu Yuan Shen Qi" says: "In ancient times, there were bells and chimes for sacrificial music, each with sixteen bells, in order to respond to the twelve rhythms and the clear sounds of the four palaces. There were also special hanging bells and special hanging chimes. Those with special hangings hung alone.
Also. The golden bells and jade chimes on the present cave table, as well as the big bells, etc., are all based on this." There is also a scripture that says: "The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening are used to summon the hundreds of spirits, which is called the majesty of the majestic palaces and the atmosphere of the mountains and mausoleums. It must be done every morning and evening, not
"Wrong". Monastics have great reverence and respect for the bell and its ringing. When the bell is struck, it is deep and clear, and it knocks away the confusion of all living beings.
"Awakening".
In Buddhism, bells are given another meaning.
The bells of Buddhism are called Buddhist bells. In many famous ancient temples, bell towers and drum towers are built on the left and right sides in front of the main hall. The bells and drums are placed respectively, which is called "left bell and right drum".
Most of the bells in temples are rung once in the morning and evening, but unlike other places, only the bells are rung in the morning and only the drums are rung in the evening. In temples, they are rung all the time, one hundred and eight times each time. In temples, the bells are rung.
Telling the time is only one of them, the more important thing is to alert the world. Buddhism believes that "hearing the sound of the bell can generate good intentions and increase righteous thoughts", "the sound of the bell wakes up all living beings, and the sound spreads throughout the immeasurable lands in the ten directions", Buddhist lectures
People want to be kind and save all sentient beings. Practitioners must promote Buddhism, not only to awaken themselves, but also to help others and even all sentient beings to awaken, so that they can be liberated from suffering. Therefore, there is also: "The big bell, the jungle call is the starting point."
Also, it is said that if you strike at dawn, you will break up the long night and alert you to sleep; if you strike at dusk, you will feel faint and confused."
