Chapter 29: Gao Lao Zhuang Nei Promotes Buddhism
After hearing what Chen Wei said.
For a moment, the senior member was stunned.
I didn't expect that my son-in-law would actually say such a thing and want to live with his daughter with another woman.
If anyone else had said this, the senior officials would have been furious and wanted to take out a stick and beat them hard.
but--
It was Chen Wei who said these words at this time.
He was wearing a cassock, with his hands clasped together, and his face was solemn and solemn, without any trace of obscene lust.
Seeing his appearance, Gao Yuanwai suddenly felt ashamed.
My son-in-law is a holy monk who is willing to sacrifice his life to save others. How can he be such a lustful person!
The woman next to her named Ran Qiushui went astray before, but now she is willing to turn back. This is of course a good thing.
If a saintly monk can save him and form a good relationship, there is no way that this matter will become a good story thousands of years later.
Moreover, the most important thing is.
Gao Yuanwai noticed that his daughter Xiaojin had no objection at all after hearing what the holy monk said.
Not only that.
Gao Xiaojin and Ran Qiushui are leaning on each other now, with smiles on their faces, like a pair of good sisters.
Now that it's all like this, senior officials won't say anything more on this matter.
Let the children get along with each other when it comes to their children.
After thinking about this, the senior official smiled and nodded, "It is a blessing to the world that the holy monk is willing to save all sentient beings. How can I stop him?"
"From now on, my little daughter will be handed over to the Holy Monk. I hope the Holy Monk can take care of some of her bad habits."
Listen to this.
Chen Wei suddenly smiled and said, "My father-in-law said something serious, Xiaojin is gentle and virtuous, so how can he have any bad habits..."
after this.
A few people talked and laughed and got over the matter of saying hello in the morning.
It's not an imperial home anyway, so these rules and etiquette don't have to be so strict.
Not to mention, Chen Wei, as a monk, got married, which is enough for some uninformed outsiders to make irresponsible remarks.
Nowadays, high-ranking officials don't mind such things, so naturally they don't care about trivial matters even more.
Next, the family had breakfast happily.
And during this period.
Xu Jiangsheng was beaten to death, and his body was dragged by servants to report to the officials.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Gaolaozhuang.
Just the day before, some people called him a miracle doctor and a great savior.
I didn't expect that this kind of thing would be exposed overnight.
Naturally, many people were unwilling to believe this and believed that Gao Yuanwai's family had murdered Dr. Xu.
The government also sent people to order Gao Yuanwai and others to go to the court to testify and produce evidence.
at last.
Chen Wei took Ran Qiushui together to reveal the matter to the world, and only then did all the truth come to light.
At this point, Xu Jiangsheng's disguised image as a miracle doctor is completely ruined.
That is to say, the villagers who were cured by him still have some favorable impressions of him, but that's all.
As an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty, Chen Wei saved Gao Yuanwai's daughter with his bold words: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
This incident also spread thoroughly in Gao Laozhuang. Many people came to the gate of Gao's house and asked Chen Wei to open a forum to preach and be willing to sincerely worship the Buddha.
regarding this matter.
Chen Wei was not very willing in his heart.
He used the title of eminent monk just for convenience.
As for promoting Buddhism, he is really conflicted.
However, in the face of the requests of the people, they gathered in front of Gao's house and refused to leave.
Chen Wei had no choice but to show up to teach the Fa.
However, he still does not intend to promote Buddhism in a normal way.
He first asked the senior officials to order the servants, built a platform, and surrounded it with straw mats.
Within this area, children and women are not allowed to enter.
After doing this, Chen Wei began to formally lecture on the scriptures and teach the Dharma.
The specific content is still the Diamond Sutra. This is a sutra that he is relatively familiar with and can recite easily.
As for the scripture that Chen Wei is most familiar with, it is actually "The Mantra of Rebirth".
But it is used to save the souls of the dead and cannot be used to teach the Dharma to living people.
All I saw was Chen Wei sitting on the stage, clasping his hands together and reciting scriptures loudly.
"That's what I heard."
"For a time, the Buddha was in the country of Savatthi."
"Just give the tree to the lonely garden..."
His voice had a solemn and sacred flavor, and all the people in the audience were fascinated by it.
After Chen Wei stopped, many people were even intoxicated and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Chen Wei was very satisfied with the result. He stood up and spoke loudly: "Dear donors, I have read the scripture once. I wonder if you can understand the deep meaning?"
"This this……"
For a moment, many people looked at me and me, their faces full of shame and confusion.
After all, the Diamond Sutra is one of the highest scriptures in Buddhism, so it is naturally not easy to understand its meaning.
If someone can understand it after listening to it once, his or her future achievements will be like that of a Western Heaven Buddha.
Obviously, among the people of Gao Laozhuang, there is no such person.
They all shook their heads and laughed awkwardly.
Chen Wei had already expected this.
He also smiled slightly, changed his tone, and said: "It doesn't matter if the donors don't understand the scriptures. The Diamond Sutra is inherently obscure and difficult for ordinary people to understand."
"I also have a Buddhist Bible here that can be compared with the Diamond Sutra, and it is easier to understand."
"This sutra is called "Jin Ping Mei", and then the poor monk will explain the contents of this sutra to everyone."
"It is said that there is a woman who is as beautiful as a flower, named Pan Jinlian."
"One day, when she was cleaning up the window sill pole, she accidentally dropped the pole and hit a high-ranking official named Ximen Qing..."
Chen Wei stood on the stage and told the story of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing.
He spoke very carefully, and when he talked about the wonderful points, he also used body movements and tone of voice to describe it.
It is simply lifelike and vivid!
The people in Gaolaozhuang below were so mesmerized by what they heard that their faces turned red.
These people even forgot to eat and spent the entire afternoon listening to it.
It was not until night fell that Chen Wei's mouth went dry and he stopped explaining.
When the crowd dispersed, many young and strong young men immediately went straight to their homes.
Tonight is destined to be a lively night.
Many people may not remember the contents of the Diamond Sutra, but they know the Plum in the Golden Vase by heart.
Not only did I memorize it, but I also practiced the contents with my beloved wife.
Even after Chen Wei had dinner and returned to the bedroom.
They saw Gao Xiaojin and Ran Qiushui waiting on the wedding bed for a long time, with rosy faces and wide eyes.
After Chen Wei inquired, he learned that the two of them had eavesdropped on his explanation of the scriptures during the day.
"Ms. sir, let's try hanging the golden hook upside down tonight..."
Listen to this.
Chen Wei laughed and immediately took off his cassock.
Chapter completed!
