Many people looked confused and did not recognize this old monk.
But many of the eminent monks present were shocked.
"Could this be Zen Master Daoji from Yunyin Temple back then?"
"It's him! It's Zen Master Daoji!"
"Amitabha! Zen Master Daoji is really still alive!"
The first person to recognize the identity of the old monk was Zen Master Yulong, the abbot of Xichan Ancient Temple.
Then everyone else also recognized the origin of the old monk. ??
This old monk, who looks as slovenly as a wandering monk, is actually the eminent monk of Yunyin Temple who was famous and prosperous in Buddhism in the Western Region at that time, and whose monastic name was Daoji.
Since the collapse of the Buddhist world in ancient times, Buddhism in the Western Region has almost perished.
That's when.
A group of traveling monks got together and established Yunyin Temple.
It grew rapidly and became the largest Buddhist temple in the Western Region.
It is also the new glory of Buddhism in the West since the demise of the ancient Buddhist world.
Zen Master Daoji is the most outstanding monk in the history of Yunyin Temple.
He is not the abbot of Yunyin Temple, but his Buddhist cultivation is better than anyone in Yunyin Temple.
In Buddhism at that time, everyone believed that Zen Master Daoji would lead Buddhism to prosperity, and Yunyin Temple would continue to prosper.
But no one expected it.
However, Zen Master Daoji suddenly left Yunyin Temple and escaped into the vast desert, sometimes going crazy and sometimes sober.
Whenever he meets someone, he says that he is looking for the true Dharma.
And Yunyin Temple also collapsed overnight.
The reason for the demise of Yunyin Temple has not yet been clarified, but it seems that several eminent monks in the temple fought with each other and eventually died together.
Zen Master Daoji became the only survivor.
Since then, Zen Master Daoji has been haunting the desert.
Witnessed the decline of Yunyin Temple.
Witnessed Tianfozi's re-establishment of Buddhism.
Witnessed Xuanzang’s missionary work in the East.
Witnessed the establishment of the Buddhist kingdom by Xuance.
Witnessed the Three Saints sitting in Buddhism.
Witnessed the Rebellion of the Demon Buddha.
until now.
road Zen Master Ji has never passed away, and his presence can be seen all over Buddhism.
nowadays.
This weird Buddhist man with many legendary experiences appears here.
Ye Qingyun looked at this old monk who was skinny and skinny, looking like a beggar with confusion on his face.
Zen Master Daoji?
The name Daoji had also been heard in his original world.
That is an incredible dharma title.
However, the old monk in front of him was obviously not the same person as the Daoji in Ye Qingyun's original world.
It can even be said to be completely unrelated.
It just happens that the names are the same.
"It's indeed him!"
The Buddha Lord Xuance looked at Zen Master Daoji and remembered the time when he met this old monk in the desert.
"Lord Buddha, why did Zen Master Daoji come here?"
Venerable Liaochen frowned, a little puzzled.
Xuance shook his head.
"I don't know either. Let's see what he wants to do."
Under the gaze of countless people, Zen Master Daoji stepped forward and walked towards the altar.
Following the footsteps of Zen Master Daoji, there were golden lotuses blooming quietly under his dirty feet.
The golden lotus is extremely holy!
In stark contrast to the slovenly Zen Master Daoji.
Lotus grows every step of the way!
Everyone was shocked.
All the monks put their hands together and recited Buddhist sutras with respectful expressions on their faces.
The believers knelt on the ground one after another and kept kowtowing to Zen Master Daoji.
Lotus sprouts step by step, this is a Buddhist phenomenon that can only appear when Buddhist cultivation reaches a very high level.
In today's Buddhism, there are very few people who can achieve such a level of cultivation.
And Zen Master Daoji’s step by step method of growing lotuses is absolutely unparalleled.
Ye Qingyun was also dumbfounded.
When he was in the Tang Dynasty, he also saw a lotus growing every step of the way.
It appeared in the body of Zen Master Dahui, the former palace lord of Liufa Heavenly Palace.
But Zen Master Dahui's step by step lotus growth was obviously not as good as the scene that Ye Qingyun saw before his eyes.
In this way, Zen Master Daoji walked step by step to the Dharma altar.
Then, carried by a golden lotus, it flew to the altar.
Zen Master Daoji took one step forward and stood in front of Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun looked at him blankly.
Zen Master Daoji showed a kind smile.
"This donor, can you share some of your food with the poor monk?"
Ye Qingyun heard this.
beggar?
Ye Qingyun looked at the roast chicken in his hand.
"Old monk, this is meat and fish, can you eat it?"
Zen Master Daoji smiled slightly.
"A poor monk has no taboos."
Ye Qingyun ""
What a no-taboo food.
Ye Qingyun was also very generous and handed the whole roast chicken directly to Zen Master Daoji.
"for you."
Zen Master Daoji took the roast chicken with both hands, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"Amitabha, thank you so much for your donation."
The words have not yet fallen.
Zen Master Daoji has turned around.
Then we ate the roast chicken in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked for a while.
Did Zen Master Daoji appear here just to break the precept and eat meat?
This is too outrageous!
Many Buddhists frowned.
Although they all know that Zen Master Daoji is sometimes crazy and sometimes sober.
But breaking the precept and eating meat in public is still a bit unacceptable to them.
Zen Master Daoji acted as if no one else was around.
And eating is very neat and tidy.
A whole roast chicken.
After being divided by two by three and five, he was immediately eliminated.
All that's left is a pile of chicken bones that have been shredded extremely clean.< br>
Zen Master Daoji looked satisfied.
"My Buddha is merciful. For many years, this poor monk has not eaten such delicious food."
He turned around and looked at Ye Qingyun again.
"Donor, can you give some more to this poor monk?"
Ye Qingyun nodded.
"for you."
He then handed the hoof in his hand to Zen Master Daoji.
"Thank you donor!"
Zen Master Daoji took the trotter and started to eat it happily.
That's called a storm.
There's a roar!
As a cook, Ye Qingyun saw such a fierce person for the first time.
He must have been hungry for a long time.
Buddhist people are completely numb.
Everyone looked at Zen Master Daoji blankly.
After a while.
Zen Master Daoji only had a big bone left in his hand.
A whole hoof was eaten clean by him, including the skin and flesh.
Zen Master Daoji's hands and face were all greasy.
"Amitabha!"
Zen Master Daoji put his hands together and looked relaxed.
Oops!
He burped again.
"Fellow fellow Buddhists, it would be a pity if you don't try these delicacies in the world."
Zen Master Daoji said.
"Senior Daoji, you are highly virtuous and respected. Even if you break the Buddhist precepts, no one can say anything to you."
"But why do you want to encourage practitioners like us to break the precepts? This is really unreasonable."
Some monks looked dissatisfied.
Zen Master Daoji smiled.
“The precepts are in the mind but not in the actions.”
"This donor wants to tell you that the true practice of Buddhism does not lie in observing the precepts and rules."
"As long as you have the Buddha in your heart and don't do evil things, you are practicing!"
After saying that, Zen Master Daoji turned around and smiled at Ye Yun.
"Holy Son, has this poor monk understood it properly?"
