Chapter 961 Buddha Treasures and Buddhist Scriptures
Only then did the great monk come back to his senses and whispered the name of the Buddha.
"Little benefactor, our temple has agreed to your request. This object is a lost magical artifact of our Buddhist sect. Our temple is willing to pay a large sum of money to bring it back. If we meet the little benefactor's request, from now on, you will be honored as the protector in front of the Buddha's throne."
Boy, enjoy the blessings of Buddhism..."
A smile flashed across Jiang Fan's eyes, but he said with sincerity on his face: "Since this thing is so important, shouldn't a grand Buddhist ceremony be held to publicly welcome it back? This would also allow everyone to witness my identity as a Dharma protector."
"This..." The great monk was stunned for a moment, showing a trace of hesitation.
He understood that the reason why this kid did this was obviously because he was afraid that he would regret it and wanted to prove his identity.
And the thing in front of you is the most precious Buddhist treasure, the Vajra and Demonic Pestle! The great monk was very shocked just now, but this thing is one of the three great Buddha treasures of the Northern Sect. If this matter is made public, how can the Northern Sect let it go? But the Southern Sect has always wanted the Buddha.
The sect is unified, and if the demon pestle enters the southern sect, it will be of extremely great significance...
The great monk was confused for a while.
Jiang Fan deliberately showed a vigilant look: "Is it possible that the master is not sincere..."
The great monk quickly shook his head: "No, no, the return of the Buddhist instruments is a big event, but it is not a Buddhist treasure. To welcome it with a grand ceremony is a bit too much."
Jiang Fan said: "Is that so? It seems that I won't be taken seriously by the Buddha even if I come here. In that case..."
He said with some regret: "Why don't you go home and provide for me?"
When the great monk saw that he wanted to leave, he quickly said: "Little benefactor, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait for the poor monk to discuss it with the senior monks in the temple. It's getting late today, so why don't the little benefactor stay in the Zen room, we will make a decision tomorrow."
how?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while and said, "It's fine. Sanlang's heart is devoted to Buddhism, and he can't wait to spend the night in the Buddhist holy land. Then, our ancestors and grandchildren will be troubled."
The great monk quickly arranged for the monk Zhike to take the two of them to the Zen room to settle down.
After they left, several monks came out from behind the central Buddha.
An old monk looked at the great monk and said, "As an abbot, why do you agree to such a big thing without hesitation?"
The great monk shook his head: "That's nothing else, it's the Vajra Subduing Demonic Pestle..."
"Vajra Subduing the Demonic Pestle?" Several monks were shocked.
The old monk asked anxiously: "Is it true?"
The great monk nodded: "My vision is not wrong. One of the three great Buddhist treasures that Beizong took away at that time, the sacred object of Vajra Protector Skanda of Buddhism, is genuine."
All the monks suddenly took a breath of air.
"The Vajra and Demonic Pestle was lost from the Northern Sect during the great turmoil fifty years ago. Buddhists have searched all over the world and there is no information about it. I didn't expect it to appear in my Qianfo Mountain today. Should our Southern Sect be able to unify Buddhism?" Some eminent monks lost their meditation concentration, and some
said excitedly.
"With such an important Buddha treasure, you should have agreed immediately." Some eminent monks felt that it was inappropriate for the great monk to not make a prompt decision.
But the great monk narrowed his eyes and smiled: "No, no, there is something wrong with these two people, don't you see it?"
The old monk pondered for a while and said: "Yes, the old man can't feel any cultivation in his body, and the boy is the same, he is an ordinary person, but ordinary people will get the Buddha's treasure by such a chance?"
The great monk said calmly: "Ordinary people? Not necessarily. Although what I said just now is what I meant, but it is also strange that the Buddha just now seems to have reacted to them... You know that although the Buddha is ignorant, he has some insights on certain things.
He's very sensitive, so he shouldn't be able to sense wrong things. It's hard to tell for the young man, but the old man had karma in the first half of his life, so he can't be an ordinary person."
"So, you doubt their origins?"
"Not just where they came from, but also why they came...these two people are not here to seek medical treatment."
The old monk's expression changed: "What does the abbot mean...these two people came here specifically to subdue the vajra and demon pestle?"
The great monk narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I think it was just a reason. He offered the secret treasure of Buddhism and wanted something else."
"He doesn't want to be a guardian boy..."
The great monk shook his head: "It's just a statement. When I agreed to this matter, there was no excitement in his eyes. Instead, he turned back and made a request to publicly welcome the Buddha's treasure. This is the general, and what he wants is by no means so simple."
"Yes, due to the relationship with the Beizong, it is absolutely impossible for us to publicly welcome back the Buddha treasure. So, what does he want?" the old monk said with doubts.
The great monk pondered: "I don't know, but he seems to be quite interested in the Buddha. His eyes have been looking at him, not with admiration, but as if he wants to see through something."
"Are you targeting the Buddha? Does this guy have ulterior motives? What is his background?"
The great monk said: "All conditioned methods ultimately have a cause. I will send you a fast meal tonight, and I will personally go and meet this...Esaburo."
The lamp was as bright as a bean, and the Zen room was quite quiet. The fisherman was sitting cross-legged on the couch, while Jiang Fan was holding his head and humming something.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the Deep Paramita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and survived all the hardships... Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color..."
At first, the fisherman just thought he was bored and muttering nonsense, but as he listened, his expression suddenly became serious, and finally he became very solemn.
However, just when he was listening in rapt attention, Jiang Fan suddenly stopped reading.
The fisherman immediately changed his expression and said, "What is this?"
Jiang Fan hummed and said casually: "It's just a sutra. If you stay in Buddhism, you can't sing little songs."
The fisherman was greatly moved: "This is the supreme Dharma..."
"This is the supreme Dharma!"
At the same time, the door of the meditation room opened, and a fat figure swept in like a violent wind and appeared directly in front of Jiang Fan, shocking him to death.
"Little donor, where did you get this supreme Dharma?" the great monk asked eagerly.
Jiang Fan seemed to be surprised: "Yamato... Abbot? Why are you here?"
The abbot put down the tray in his hand: "Little donor, tell me quickly, is there a full text of this Buddhist teaching?"
Jiang Fan scratched his head: "This was taught to me by a monk named Xuanzang from our hometown. It's been so long that I can't remember it."
The great monk was very anxious: "This, this... the little benefactor must remember that this Dharma is very important. Whatever the little benefactor asks for, this temple will grant it."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "Is it very powerful? No wonder...no wonder Xuanzang said that I was born with a Taoist heart..."
The great monk was slightly surprised: "Then the eminent monk said that?"
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, he said that I am a boy who sat down with the real Buddha, and that the Buddha nature is transparent, which is amazing. I thought he was talking nonsense and fooling children."
The great monk was surprised: "So, the little donor hopes to become a Buddhist disciple and a Taoist boy who protects the Dharma?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "The old monk said that I have a Buddhist connection and guided me to come south."
The great monk looked at him carefully: "Can the eminent monk still be found?"
Jiang Fan shook his head: "I can't find it. He went out to do asceticism. It is said that he has to walk hundreds of thousands of miles. Haha, it's really scary."
The great monk became more and more frightened: "Amitabha must be the reincarnation of the Buddha. Could it be..."
He stared at Jiang Fan: "Are you here specifically to enlighten you?"
