Chapter 68 Watching tides in ancient caves, human tragedy

The breeze blows.

The mountains and forests sway like waves.

In a pavilion, Tang Li sat cross-legged and took in his breath.

In front of you, the properties panel floats.

【Spirit】:18.9

Being in the Buddhist Kingdom of Haitian

Study Buddhist scriptures.

Watch the mountains and watch the tide.

Understand the various aspects of all living beings in the world.

It seems to be a baptism and purification for the spirit and soul, and the spiritual attributes are improved accordingly, reaching 18.9.

In his free time, Tang Li occasionally talked about Buddhism with the old monk in the small temple. The old monk was well versed in Buddhist scriptures and knowledgeable. The conversation with him was also learning and confirmation.

Tang Li breathed out lightly and looked around.

A winding mountain peak, woven streams, and tea trees are planted all over the mountain. It is early in the morning, and the mist is lingering in the tea forest, sometimes like silk, sometimes filled with mist, filled with fantasy and ethereal atmosphere.

This is Suwu of Tea Mountain. Most of the tea trees on the mountain are planted by monks. They are called "Yunwu Buddha Tea" and are also a specialty of Mount Putuo.

Not long after, the red sun rose.

The fiery red rising sun seems to be gushing out from the bottom of the sea, as red as red sand. The sunlight reflects on the sea water, dyeing the entire sea surface like red fire, as if it is burning.

Buzz

There is a temple that rings the morning bell.

…

At the same time, on the stone path.

The middle-aged man knelt on the stone steps with his hands clasped together.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-one."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-two."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-three..."

He muttered something in his mouth.

When the morning bell came, the man was startled, and then his expression became more pious. He put his hands together, spread them out, put them on the ground, and bent down to kneel down.

As he knelt down, he recalled something, and grief and repentance appeared on the man's brows.

…

…

Buddha pointed out famous mountains.

A Thousand Steps to Golden Sands.

Huading Yuntao.

Pan Tuo sunset.

Luojia lights.

…

Tang Li practiced sightseeing, sightseeing, comprehending, and appreciating the customs of the Buddhist Kingdom of the Sea and Sky among the landscapes.

As night falls, a full moon hangs in the sky, casting a cold light.

Tang Li sat on the stone cliff of the ancient cave, listening to the tide and watching the sea.

The tide rushes through the cave and hits the stone walls. The waves may be turbulent or strong, sometimes like a lion and tiger roaring, sometimes like the light flickering of a bodhi tree, like the Sanskrit sounds from the nature of heaven and earth, cleansing people's souls.

These days, Tang Li has also read some Buddhist scriptures.

There are many stories recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. Some stories are true, some are bizarre, some are twists and turns, and some are even absurd. It is not important whether the stories are true or false. The Zen principles contained in each story, whether you agree with it or have confusion, are all

Confirmation of spiritual practice.

Today, Tang Li's spirit and will are vaguely different from ordinary people, and he has gradually gained his own understanding of many things.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Tang Li's eyes narrowed slightly as if he saw something.

In the night, a figure appeared.

He stepped on the cliff stone with slow steps.

"Is it him?"

Tang Li recognized this man. He was the man who had knelt down devoutly on the stone path.

The man's steps were a little slow, as if he had something on his mind. Step by step, he stepped onto the cliff facing the sea. He stopped and looked at the sea.

"Could he be seeking death?"

Looking at this scene, Tang Li couldn't help but be stunned.

…

…

"It's time to end."

"Juanzi, Xiaohan, I'm here to accompany you."

Looking at the rough sea, Lin Guotao murmured.

He remembered many things.

But in the end, they all turned into painful memories, like nightmares, engraved in his soul and lingering.

He is ready to end it all today.

"Why do you want to die?"

Just as Lin Guotao was about to jump to end his life, a voice suddenly came.

"who?"

Lin Guotao was startled and looked around.

But he saw no one.

"Why do you want to die?"

The voice came again.

calm.

There is also a hint of depression.

"Could it be that the Bodhisattva appears?"

Lin Guotao was confused and confused, and then his expression turned sad and painful: "I don't deserve to live in this world, and I don't want to persist anymore..."

"I want to end this."

Lin Guotao collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He could no longer control himself and expressed the pain in his heart.

He once had a gentle wife, a lovely and well-behaved son, and a happy family.

By chance, he met a friend.

This friend ran a casino and made a living by gathering others to gamble or lend money. He invited Lin Guotao to join him. Lin Guotao certainly knew that gambling was illegal, but he could not withstand the temptation of wealth and chose to form a partnership. From then on

, he also realized how dark the gambling game was. The various scams set up to lure people to the casino were shocking. Many people lost their money and their families as a result.

Seeing these tragedies, Lin Guotao struggled and hesitated in his heart, but seeing the wealth and money he gained from it, and seeing himself getting richer day by day, he couldn't bear to give it up. Gradually, they became more and more greedy and set up a scam.

More and more people were cheating and amassing wealth. Until one day, Lin Guotao accepted the money again and went home proudly. What he saw was his wife and children who had been murdered.

A gambler who lost his mind learned that Lin Guotao had set up a scam, so he came to his house with a knife and killed his wife and children.

From that day on, Lin Guotao's world completely collapsed.

The murderer was brought to justice, and Lin Guotao also spent eight years in prison for gambling and fraud.

After he was released from prison, he began to speak out and advise people to stay away from gambling. He exposed many scams and made many people trapped in gambling wake up.

But these could not make up for his inner pain and repentance. He worshiped Buddha, chanted sutras, and visited temples in various places to seek inner peace. In order to repent, he knelt in front of the Buddha statue for three days and three nights, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he

The scene of his wife and children being killed would appear before his eyes like a nightmare and would never go away.
