Li Xiaoyao saw all this and didn't say anything. He just smiled and accepted the toasts from everyone.
Jin He was a generous person, and he had a great time drinking during the banquet. After a while, he became brothers with the three security guards and had a great time.
Han Yu was a clever guy, telling jokes and making everyone laugh. Even Li Wuhui was attracted by his speech.
The two subordinates of the 'Elf Princess' maintained a reserved style, but they were inevitably teased by Long Ao, and the 'Elf Princess' turned out to be a heavy drinker, and during the banquet they shouted and competed with everyone for drinks.
Li Wuhui kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, but he could never forget the taste of the wine. What he thought about was wine, and what he breathed in his nose was wine. Besides chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, what he filled in his heart was also wine.
"Hey, this Li Xiaoyao asked me to come for dinner. Is it just for dinner? What is his purpose?"
Li Wuhui reluctantly focused on other things, and then he endured the urge to break the precept.
In fact, Li Wuhui has been a secular man for more than ten years. After he came out of the cell, he became obsessed with drinking, because wine can relieve worries and wine can release the emotions in Li Wuhui's heart.
After many years of spiritual practice, Li Wuhui felt a little hopeless about this society. He fought to save someone, but he was found guilty of intentional wounding by the court and was almost sentenced to death.
At that time, Li Wuhui had just come to the secular world from the mountain gate, and he had no idea of the dangers of the mortal world. If some kind-hearted people had not left messages online to help Li Wuhui rehabilitate his case, he would have been sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
Li Wuhui felt very sad when he thought about it. He actually spent ten years in prison undergoing labor reform. At that time, he never thought about escaping. He saw all kinds of things in the world in prison, but he felt sad in his heart.
A few years ago, Li Wuhui came out of prison, only to find that the world was sadder than he imagined. Many things were reversed in black and white. It was really cruel natural selection. This made Li Wuhui almost lose his heart.
belief.
Why did he practice Taoism? Isn't it for spiritual liberation? However, Li Wuhui's own experience was so bumpy that after he was released from prison, he hid in the city and broke his drinking habit. From then on, he basically stopped calling himself a Taoist.
Naturally, Li Xiaoyao didn't know what happened to Li Wuhui in the past, but he could feel the ups and downs he had experienced before, otherwise his tolerance would not be so good.
"Brother, have a drink! As the saying goes, the meat and wine pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in his heart! Wouldn't this be more free and easy!" Li Xiaoyao persuaded with a smile.
"Amitabha! This poor monk is ashamed of the Buddha. He has been degenerated for several years. Now he can no longer disrespect the Buddha!" Li Wuhui saluted.
In fact, even Li Wuhui is not firm in his Buddhist heart. In this age of drunken society, he has entered the mortal world and cannot escape the secular world. Otherwise, there will be no pure land of the soul.
"Actually! You have already broken the habit of drinking or not! Your eyes are staring at the wine, your nose is smelling the aroma of the wine, your mind is thinking about the wine, and your heart is filled with the wine. Maybe your stubbornness is just
It’s reflected in your mouth! I don’t know much about Buddhism, but I think practitioners should do things based on their heart. As long as the matter does not harm others, then just do it according to the promptings of your heart!”
Li Xiaoyaoyou said, because it is difficult to accept a monk with precepts as a disciple, but if this monk is a meat-free monk, the situation will be very different. Maybe a few glasses of wine can get rid of him.
Li Wuhui's heart moved, and he understood that what Li Xiaoyao said was right, and that he had indeed not followed his own heart.
"Brother, let me tell you a story! Once upon a time, there was an old monk and a young monk. They met a girl on the road and wanted to cross a river, but the current was very fast and the girl did not dare to cross.
At this time, the old monk took the initiative to carry the girl across the river, and the young monk was dumbfounded. When the old monk carried the girl across the river, the girl thanked him and left.
The two of them walked back to the temple. The young monk kept looking very irritable. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and said, "Master, you warned us to strictly abide by the precepts, but why did you carry that girl across the river on your back?"
The old monk smiled and said: "A monk must learn to help others. The girl wanted to cross the river but didn't dare. I helped her by carrying her across the river. This is in line with our principle of accumulating good deeds."
"But you carried the girl across the river. All I could think about was that scene. I just couldn't figure it out. I felt more and more that this was not the right behavior." The little monk reasoned.
"Haha, apprentice, it seems that your practice is not enough! I have forgotten about carrying that girl across the river, and only regard it as a matter of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue! And you, actually still remember it now. I put her down, and
She has completely let it go from her back, but she is still in your heart, so she hasn't let it go yet! Do you understand?" the old monk said with a smile.
The little monk suddenly realized something, and the depression in his heart immediately disappeared. Only then did he realize how profound the master was, but how narrow-minded he was. Only then did the scene of being crossed by that girl really disappear from his mind."
Li Xiaoyao attracted everyone's attention when he spoke. Listening to his ups and downs in his voice, it seemed as if the story was happening in front of everyone's eyes, and it felt like they were there.
After hearing the story, everyone was not too touched and just smiled. However, Li Wuhui fell into deep thought after hearing the story.
"Master, thank you! I understand!"
Li Wuhui picked up a bottle of beer and took a big sip. Then he put down the beer and solemnly said: "Master, your words are really good advice. I have learned from you!"
Everyone was a little puzzled, but they heard Li Wuhui explain: "I am actually a secular person, but I can never forget the Buddhist precepts in my heart. Even if I break the precepts, I can't let go. I am as entangled as that little monk. Now.
Come to think of it, you should put everything down, otherwise, your life will be very tiring and it will go against your original intention."
"Haha! No need to thank me! It's just a little effort! You can call me Young Master Li, or you can call me brother. You don't have to call me Young Master!" Li Xiaoyao was secretly happy in his heart. He got Li Wuhui's favor first. This step is the most important.
, and a little story told by me made him respect me, how could I not like it!
