It was evening at this time, and there were many people shopping for groceries and getting off work. When these people saw the monk, they stood not far away and watched.
"Why have another group of monks arrived? There are not many new monks, but they are really impressive. Could it be that they were invited by the people in front to help?"
"It must be, their clothes are all similar."
"Xiao He is very nice, and the new resident Xiao Fang is also nice. I bought a lot of vegetables last time, and I met him at the gate of the community. He was the one who helped me carry them home. Those monks looked kind-hearted, but they were sitting here
No matter how you look at the gate, you don’t look like an eminent monk.”
"I know the new senior monk, he seems to be Master Songyun."
"Famous?"
"Of course he is famous. My friend who believes in Buddhism said that Master Songyun is very awesome and has a strong appeal among Buddhists. Later, when I watched the news, I saw the chief minister shaking hands with Master Songyun. Anyway, his status is very high.
.This kind of eminent monk is so extraordinary that you can’t even spend money to invite him.”
"Really? Then Xiaofang is in danger."
Not only did the onlookers recognize Master Songyun, but one of An Tiantian's friends also recognized Master Songyun. Her mother was a Buddhist. After thinking about it, Master Songyun came, and Fang Tianfeng could only hand over the relic.
The new group of people also alarmed Fang Tianfeng and the monks from Guangxiang Temple, and everyone turned their heads together.
Master Guangnian of Guangxiang Temple was still sitting on the ground. He glanced at the visitor, was surprised and happy, and said loudly: "Uncle Songyun, why are you here? It's this Fang Tianfeng who took my Buddha's relic as his own."
He said that he also slandered Director Cha and us, you must uphold justice."
The other monks sitting on the ground also felt as if they had seen a savior.
Although Master Songyun is only a few years older than Guang Nian, he is of high seniority. In addition, he is the president of the Buddhist Association and has a respected status.
Master Songyun realized what was happening as soon as he saw this scene. His face darkened and he said, "Amitabha, Guang Nian, please speak up if you have anything to say!"
Guang Nian misunderstood the purpose of Master Songyun's visit and said: "Uncle Master, it's not that I can't get up, but that I am forced to do nothing. My Buddha's relics are sacred Buddhist objects and should be enshrined in Buddhist temples. Uncle Master, you must not let them go."
My Buddha's relics are wandering outside."
"Let's talk first!" Master Songyun raised his voice and looked at Guang Nian sternly. Unlike a monk like Guang Nian who was obsessed with profit, Master Songyun knew how to do things appropriately. He thought about persuading Fang Tianfeng to donate relics, but he would never threaten him.
Fang Tianfeng saw other monks coercing the owner in public. As the president of the Buddhist Association, Songyun felt very embarrassed.
Guang Nian was a little panicked. At first he thought Master Song Yun was here to help him, but it seemed that Master Song Yun had other purposes. However, Guang Nian thought of Yuan Pu and Yuan Han's words, and imagined that the Buddha's relics fell on the ground.
I hesitated about the benefits of Guangxiang Temple.
The Buddha's relic has been the most valuable sacred object in Buddhism for thousands of years, not to mention the large relic of the Buddha's bones.
When the first few Buddha bone relics were released, they were toured all over the country, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, for exhibitions. The scene was very grand. And every temple dedicated to the Buddha's relics was full of incense, far from being comparable to ordinary temples.
Master Songyun looked at Guang Nian. He knew very well that although his nephew was a monk, he was very utilitarian and not proficient in Buddhist scriptures. However, his ability to run the temple was outstanding, so he took the position of abbot and abbot of Guangxiang Temple.
As the president of the Buddhist Association, Master Songyun will never tolerate Guang Nian using the banner of Buddhism to coerce the owner.
Master Songyun looked at Guang Nian with great disappointment, and then said to Wang Yuanze: "Donor Wang, please take me to see the owner of my Buddha's relics. Although our Buddhism has the Angry-Eye Vajra, it is not for the sake of plunder. Buddhist disciples must promote it.
Buddhism, and more importantly, we must abide by national laws.”
Guang Nian's expression changed on the spot. Master Songyun was the president of the Buddhist Association. His identity and status meant that his words were true. Since he said that the Buddha's relics belonged to the original owner, anyone who dared to snatch the relics would be doing the same to the Buddhist Association.
right.
Master Songyun simply said that Guang Nian’s words and actions are not tolerated by Buddhism!
Guang Nian just changed his expression, but several monks behind him were frightened. Master Songyun said to their faces that they were "taking advantage of others by clever means." How could they meet those fellow Buddhists in the future?
The director of the Religious Affairs Bureau was more panicked than all the monks. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, hoping that Master Songyun wouldn't pay attention to him.
Master Songyun does not have the power to remove Deputy Director Zha, but Deputy Director Zha is in charge of religious affairs, but he offended the president of the Buddhist Association. This is his biggest dereliction of duty. If Master Songyun had made a few remarks to the senior management,
If the people in the bureau who have a bad relationship with him continue to operate, unless the Yuan patriarch personally protects him, Yuan Han and Yuan Pu alone will not be able to protect him.
Wang Yuanze said: "Okay, let's ignore them and go straight in. Xiao Fang, do you mind?"
Fang Tianfeng smiled and turned sideways, opened the door and said, "Masters and old gentlemen please come into the room to talk."
Master Songyun and others immediately walked towards the house.
Behind Master Songyun were two eminent monks and several disciples. Among them, Master Huici, who was the vice president of the Buddhist Association, had always been upright and upright. He stopped in front of Guang Nian and said unceremoniously: "You are a monk, not a hooligan!"
You smell like copper, you dare to be a member of the Buddhist sect!" After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and entered the room.
Guang Nian's face was full of shame and anger. Although his status was not as good as that of Song Yun and Huici, Guangxiang Temple was also a famous temple in the capital. As the abbot of Guangxiang Temple, the celebrities in society all respected him. He was a very famous temple in the capital.
He is a highly enlightened monk, and some billionaires even come to him specifically for advice on Buddhism.
But now, first he was said to be "taking advantage of others", and then Huici said he was "an arrogant Buddhist". In fact, he was said to be a scum of the Buddhist sect, which was a huge blow to him.
Without a good reputation in Buddhism, it is worthless. Once those believers and pilgrims know about Guang Nian, they will definitely stay away.
Guang Nian is furious now, but he doesn’t dare to say a word. On the surface, the Buddhist Association is a loose group, but it has huge resources. If Guang Nian dares to contradict Master Songyun and Master Huici, these two might not be able to do it.
Although they care about it, other staff of the Buddhist Association will definitely try every means to isolate Guangxiang Temple. Various publicity activities, exchanges, and funding will not have Guangxiang Temple's share.
If you encounter someone ruthless, you can let the people inside Guangxiang Temple defeat Guang Nian.
Buddhism has the concept of "enthronement", which means that the new "abbot" of the temple is promoted to "abbot" and has a qualitative improvement in status. The enthronement ceremony is also the most solemn ceremony of every temple.
However, the title "Abbot" requires dual recognition by the Religious Affairs Bureau and the Buddhist Association. It also requires that the monk himself has a high level of moral cultivation and must be the abbot of a large temple.
Guang Nian himself is an abbot. However, if an abbot is morally corrupt, the Buddhist Association has the power to disqualify the "abbot". If the Buddhist president personally speaks, few people can stop it.
If Guang Nian is disqualified as abbot, it will definitely become a big scandal in the Buddhist world, and Guangxiang Temple will also be in trouble.
Therefore, Guang Nian could only watch Master Songyun and others enter Fang Tianfeng's room without daring to say a word.
Guang Nian's disciple whispered: "Master, what should I do?"
"What else can I do! Alas, it's all my fault. Who knew that Donor Fang could invite my uncle! It's all my fault to those people in the Yuan family. If I had known that Donor Fang had such a good relationship with my uncle, I would never have come! Alas!
.”
Guang Nian lamented in his heart that he wanted to take a step forward in the Buddhist Association. He needed to rely on Master Songyun, but now there was no chance at all, and he regretted it more and more in his heart.
Guang Nian stood up with difficulty, wiped the dust off his butt, got in the car and left without even looking at the deputy director.
Deputy Director Cha wiped the sweat from his forehead and drove away. He found a secluded place and called Yuan Pu.
"Did it succeed?" Yuan Pu asked happily.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't get the Buddha's relic."
"It's nothing if he didn't get the Buddha's relic. He had a conflict with the monks from Guangxiang Temple, right? Haha, this is just the beginning. Tomorrow I will find someone to contact other temples and let those monks take turns to go to him. When the conflicts become more and more serious,
Big, I will light it myself, and with a bang, it will not kill him, but it will also make him lose face! I, Yuan Pu, am not that easy to trick!" Yuan Pu said.
"I suggest you not to use Buddhist monks against him."
"Why?"
"Just now, three masters, Songyun, Huici and Miaoyuan, went to Fang's home together. Master Songyun not only rebuked Master Guangnian, but also defended Fang, saying that he was the owner of the relic. Master Huici was even more angry.
I almost called Guang Nian a scum of Buddhism. There are a few others, others I don’t know. But I recognize Mr. Sun Zhengming, he is the number one master in appreciating Buddhist cultural relics.”
Before Deputy Director Cha could finish what he said, a loud curse came from the phone, followed by the sound of the phone hitting the ground, and finally the call was interrupted.
Deputy Director Zha sighed and said in a low voice: "Who is that person named Fang Tianfeng? He made the Yuan family so popular and yet he is still alive today. I hope he forgets about me and doesn't come to trouble me."
In the living room of the villa, everyone gathered together.
An Tiantian's four friends didn't even dare to sit down. They stood by the sofa, serving tea and water to the old gentlemen and old monks.
Wang Yuanze said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, let's get straight to the point. You take out the relic and let us have some eyes. I believe in your ability, but no one can guarantee that you will never punch."
"Okay." Fang Tianfeng said, putting his hand in his pocket and taking it out, taking out the Buddha's relic from the Nine Dragon Jade Cup.
The people around him suddenly looked at him with strange eyes. Fang Tianfeng was probably the only person in the world who was willing to put the Buddha's relics casually in his pocket.
Fang Tianfeng stretched out his hand, then spread his palm flat, revealing the Buddha's relic.
This Buddha relic was originally very beautiful. After being warmed by Fang Tianfeng, the light on the surface became brighter and brighter. Even if the lights are on in the living room, everyone can still see the extremely faint shimmer on the surface of the Buddha relic.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The bodies of the three eminent monks were shaken, and they subconsciously began to chant together.
These three are all eminent monks who have achieved great enlightenment and have huge Buddhist teachings, which echo the teachings on the Buddha's relics.
Fang Tianfeng suddenly showed a look of surprise, because the Buddha's relics were wrapped in milky white teachings before, but now, the milky white teachings have left the Buddha's relics, suspended in the sky above the relics, and turned into a seated statue of the Tathagata Buddha with a vague appearance.
The Tathagata Buddha seems to be sleeping with his eyes closed, and his face is blurry, but the lotus throne he sits on is particularly clear.
Fang Tianfeng suddenly realized that he was not a Buddhist, and his control over the Buddha's relics was limited after all. But now there are three eminent monks who are the highest level in the country, and the integration of teachings has inspired the true power of the Buddha's relics. (To be continued.
