Chapter 3647 Bodhi Temple
To put it simply, if some people offer incense and others contribute their faith, the cultivation level of Shinto monks can be steadily improved.
There are no bottlenecks to speak of.
It is easier to advance than ordinary monks.
This is the benefit of Shinto.
But in this small Bodhi Temple, Abbot Huijing does not practice Shintoism.
He opened this temple with only one very pure purpose, which was to promote Buddhism.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether there are believers or not, whether there is incense or not.
Moreover, according to Xu Dong's observation, although this fat monk looks harmless to humans and animals, in fact his cultivation is very terrifying.
At least it is the peak of the early stage of the universe, and most likely even the middle stage of the universe.
"Do you want to go to Bodhi Temple?" Suddenly, Huijing asked.
Xu Dong nodded, "Since I have come to the Xihe Kingdom, I naturally want to go to Bodhi Temple to have a look and understand the meaning of Buddhist scriptures."
"Hahaha! There is no need to go to Bodhi Temple to understand the meaning of Buddhist scriptures."
Huijing shook her head, laughed, stood up, and made a hug gesture, "Look at this huge Xihe King's Domain, Buddhas are everywhere!"
"But... is that a pure Buddha?" Xu Dong looked at Huijing and asked.
Hearing this, Huijing fell into silence.
Pure Buddha?
Not really!
That's just a way for monks to harvest faith.
Suppose it is said that in the kingdom of Xihe, it is not Buddhism but some other religion.
Those monks will probably also change their monasteries.
"Buddha is in our hearts."
"With your eyes open, you are a Buddha, and with your eyes closed, you are a Buddha."
Huijing clasped her hands together, showing great piety.
Xu Dong smiled but did not speak.
Afterwards, everyone changed the topic and drank tea while chatting, enjoying this rare peace.
About an hour later, Huijing stood up and said, "If you want to go to Bodhi Temple, a poor monk can guide you."
"Master Huijing, do you have free time?" Xu Dong asked with interest.
"Time is like water in a sponge, you will get it if you squeeze it."
"Besides, it's not easy to meet such distinguished guests who are so agreeable to each other. Naturally, I want to spend more time with you."
"Besides, I haven't been back to Bodhi Temple for a long time. I miss the Bodhi tree there very much."
Huijing said, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.
"In this case, there is Master Lao Huijing." Xu Dong nodded.
Huijing clasped her hands together, "There is no need to be so polite. All of these are conditions."
Next, he called a few novice monks, gave a few instructions, and set off with Xu Dong and others.
The journey there was very smooth.
Huijing entertained me very well and was very talkative. She discussed the mysteries of Buddhism with Xu Dong and also talked about some of the essence of Shinto.
Moreover, his spiritual sense is very keen.
His eyes often looked at the Zixiao Divine Sword in a vague way, as if he sensed something.
But he was smart and didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Dong didn't mention it and pretended that nothing happened.
Walk all the way and see all the way.
Everyone passed by many temples, but none like the Little Bodhi Temple.
The incense is in full bloom, the smoke is curling up, and from a long distance, you can feel the majestic sound of heaven.
And those invisible and intangible energies that permeate the void.
"It is said that the Xihe Kingdom is the holy land of Buddhism."
"As everyone knows, this place has been turned into a mess."
Seeing these temples, Huijing's face showed no emotion.
Xu Dong also sighed when he heard this. Huijing was right.
Buddha is pure
of Buddha.
A monk, but not a pure monk.
Once a monk has selfish motives and wants to obtain something through the Buddha, it is in itself a kind of blasphemy against the Buddha.
This kind of person is not worthy of being called a disciple of Buddhism.
At this point, host Huijing did a good job.
He maintained awe and a pure heart towards the Buddha.
I just want to be righteous and have peace of mind. I don’t want to get anything from the Buddha.
This is the true enlightened monk.
Moreover, Huijing's cultivation is extremely solid, and he cultivates it all by his own strength.
"There are still a hundred miles ahead, and we will reach Bodhi Temple." Suddenly, Huijing said. .??.
When everyone heard this, they were all excited and involuntarily quickened their pace.
About half a day later, Xu Dong looked up.
I saw a magnificent palace standing on the endless Gobi Desert.
This golden color is not made of gold, but a golden boulder.
The temple looks grand and solemn. There is a plaque in front of the temple with the three characters "Bodhi Temple" written on it.
On both sides, there are two Bodhi trees, which are lush and cheerful.
Each leaf is covered with mysterious lines, which seem to be formed naturally and contain some kind of truth from heaven and earth.
"This is the Bodhi tree!"
He Mengxue said leisurely, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
As soon as these words came out, the host Huijing was immediately in awe, "I really didn't expect that this female benefactor's understanding of Buddhism is so profound that even a poor monk would be ashamed of herself."
"This casual remark is full of wisdom and wisdom."
He Mengxue smiled sheepishly after hearing this.
This was not just a casual remark of hers, it was clearly someone from Hua Guo
Left behind by some ancient sages.
"This bodhi tree is also called the Buddha Tree and the Enlightenment Tree."
Master Huijing looked at the two bodhi trees in front of him and said slowly, "These two trees were planted here as early as the construction of Bodhi Temple."
"It can also be said that there was the Bodhi tree first and then the Bodhi Temple."
"Sitting under the bodhi tree and meditating can get twice the result with half the effort."
"It can calm the murderous intention and resentment in people's hearts, it can eliminate inner demons, and it can make people's minds and bodies clear."
"There is another saying that if the two bodhi trees are given a thousand years, they will be able to channel spirits, transform into human forms, become immortals through cultivation, and become immortals."
Hearing this, Xu Dong's heart moved and he looked towards the Bodhi tree again.
Found it to be true!
These two bodhi trees are like two old men with infinite wisdom, standing there, watching all living beings.
"Let's go in!"
He said hello and took the lead in walking forward.
There were two monks at the door, cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground. After hearing the footsteps, they looked over here.
When he saw Huijing, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"Huijing, why are you here?"
Huijing smiled and said, "What? I can't come over?"
"Do you regret it? You left the Bodhi Temple and founded the Little Bodhi Temple on your own. You wanted to find your own path of faith."
"It's a pity that after such a long time, your Little Bodhi Temple has still not developed and has disappeared from the world."
A monk put the broom aside and sneered.
"Regret? There is no word regret in my Huijing's Buddhist scriptures."
Huijing shook his head, clasped his hands and said, "Besides, I have said many times that the reason why I founded the Little Bodhi Temple was not for any belief, but to spread Buddhism and save the world, nothing more."
