Chapter 43: Bodhisattva, have you manifested your spirit too quickly?
…
According to the profound meaning of the Three Treatises, it is known that the Bodhisattva's creation of the treatise is to open the door of teachings of all Buddhas, and this door of teachings means the door of Dharma. The term "Buddhism" in later generations is mainly the self-proclaimed name of Confucianism and Taoism in Buddhism.
Buddhism pays attention to the word fate, which means that when the fate comes, you will enter Buddhism.
Of course, Buddhism also pays attention to purity. Those with six pure roots refer to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Those with six pure roots have naturally reached a state of being far away from all kinds of troubles in the world.
However, times have changed, and in today's era, there are only a few people who can maintain purity.
As for those who seek the Dharma, whether it is effective or not is something everyone who comes knows.
Lingxiao's prismatic stones are piled up evenly, and a square red plaque hangs on it. The big characters "Guang'an Temple" come into view. The handwriting is vigorous and thick, but it can still be seen that this is a modern product.
The tourists and believers didn't pay much attention. They clasped their hands towards the receiving monk, bowed and ordered a sufficient amount of sandalwood, and then walked towards the inner hall.
It is this temple that really has the charm of ancient Buddhism. According to records, Guang'an Temple was established in the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of about 400 years now. Otherwise, Wang Shengnan would not have spent more than half an hour climbing the mountain to show his sincerity.
Come and worship Bodhisattva.
The purpose is to seek a mind, which is the mind of the Bodhisattva and also my own mind.
Just as she said to Lin Miaomiao, to live, one must go against the current and move forward bravely, climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top. No one can take away the experience of this journey.
Looking at the ancient temple, a few white incense slowly rose into the clouds from each temple, and a kind of Zen inexplicably emerged in the hearts of several people. Wang Shengnan smiled silently at Lin Dawei, feeling that this time was not in vain.
Even Lin Miaomiao, whose face was flushed and who kept fanning her face with her little hands, felt her heart calm down slightly, and her impetuous temper seemed to have calmed down a lot.
The breeze blows gently, and everything is quiet and peaceful. Although there are people walking around and busy thoughts hidden among them, no one dares to come out of the ears, nose and mouth. Everyone is quietly worshiping the Buddha and praying for wishes.
Lin Dawei took his wife and children with him. He didn't show too much intimacy, but it could be seen that they were a family of three. They walked to the main entrance of the temple, clasped their hands towards the old monk at the door, and received the incense incense respectfully.
"Huigen Bodhisattva Manjusri lives in the main hall, with ease on the side and the Dharma in the south..."
Passing the shaking incense, the old monk in front of the door chanted softly.
Several people were stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully to the monk, and then Wang Shengnan took his daughter and headed straight towards the main hall.
"Dad, what did the monk mean?"
Still being dragged by her mother, Lin Miaomiao did not dare to shout in the quiet surroundings, so she could only secretly ask Comrade Lin Dawei a question in a low voice.
"To seek destiny and wisdom, go to the main hall, where Manjushri Bodhisattva is enshrined; to seek marriage, go to the side seat and worship Guanyin Bodhisattva; to pray for the God of Wealth, go to the South Hall..."
Lin Dawei said softly, and did not forget to raise his eyes to Wang Shengnan, saying that he was not just a freeloader, and wanted to show off. Unfortunately, Wang Shengnan focused directly on the direction of the main hall and did not look at him too much.
.
"Why is worshiping the God of Wealth called a ritual?"
Lin Miaomiao murmured in a low voice. Before she could answer, she was knocked on the head by Wang Shengnan. She looked up again and found that she had reached the main hall.
Everyone became quiet. They understood that no shouting is allowed in a pure place in Buddhism. When they found the table next to them, they lit the incense with a trembling flame. When the incense curled up, Wang Shengnan gave the incense to the two of them, and then
Then he carefully walked into the main hall.
…
…
"It is said that Manjushri Bodhisattva represents "knowledge" and means the root of wisdom. Worshiping Manjushri means seeking the root of wisdom; Guanyin Bodhisattva represents "emotion" and worshiping Guanyin means seeking marriage and fate. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva represents "intention". Worshiping Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva means giving up and giving up.
Self-grasping enters my Buddha…”
"Of course, these are not important. Most people come to the temple to seek peace of mind. Generally speaking, they like to worship the God of Wealth and seek wealth laws. They hope that their career will be smooth and prosperous, or they may be healthy and long-lived, safe and free from disease.
.”
"However, it should be noted that the Buddhist God of Wealth does not seek wealth, but expresses dharma. The few people who understand will not worship the God of Wealth when entering a temple for the first time."
On the bluestone slab dozens of meters away from the temple, a man and two women were walking side by side towards this place. The pace was steady and it was obvious that they were not in a hurry. Lu Ming was showing off some knowledge to his sister-in-law.
"Why don't people who understand understand worship the God of Wealth first?"
The considerate Han Duoduo blinked her big eyes and asked cooperatively.
"The God of Wealth is a Dharma protector in Buddhism. It is specially established for the purpose of expressing the law. What is the expression of the law? To put it simply, it means that your wish has been fulfilled and you are here to fulfill your wish. The expression of the law means that you offer incense to the temple, and
It’s not the God of Wealth who promises you.”
"So, think about it, if your wish has not come true, what kind of wish will you get if you go to fulfill it?"
When he arrived at the location, Lu Ming stopped in time and said with a smile: "We have to make a wish first. The God of Wealth comes to worship for the second time. Do you understand?"
"I see."
Feelings are like a housekeeper... Han Duoduo nodded slightly, feeling that the number of strange knowledge points had increased. She couldn't help but look at her brother-in-law with a hint of admiration, and chuckled: "Brother-in-law, you know so much."
"Haha, I learned it from your sister."
Without taking the merit without permission, Lu Ming chuckled, looked at Li Shiqing and said softly.
When they were in Si Teng's world, for a period of time, because they accompanied Si Teng to search for various hanging gate orthodoxies, several people visited hundreds of incense temples on Cangcheng Mountain. Li Shiqing would worship devoutly and ask for help wherever he went.
Omen, he followed it and learned a lot about it.
There is no way around it, being with a top student will always give you some insights.
Han Duoduo looked at Li Shiqing, but Li Shiqing didn't answer. She walked to the gate with a calm expression as she had done hundreds of times before, clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully towards the old monk to receive the incense.
After a pause, there was no feeling of sedimentation in her hands. Li Shiqing couldn't help but raise her head slightly and looked at the old monk in confusion.
The old monk looked at her face and glanced at Han Duoduo again, holding a few incense sticks in his hand and not putting them down.
"Grandmaster?"
Lu Ming felt something in his heart, with a smile on his lips, and suddenly started to shout.
"Master, what's wrong with me?"
Li Shiqing also asked, and Han Duoduo next to her also cast curious eyes.
"Today I can see the dharma, I can see my Buddha..."
The old monk put down the basket of shaking incense, clasped his hands together and murmured softly, and his expression returned to the calm look of the ancient well.
Li Shiqing looked at Lu Ming and cast a curious look. How could this hundred-year-old monk look like he had understood the Dharma just because he glanced at her?
Could it be possible that... this is really an eminent monk who has seen through how many people are visitors from another world?
Li Shiqing couldn't help but think that since she and others could travel through time, it seemed reasonable to meet an enlightened monk in this mortal world.
Lu Ming smiled, said nothing, and ignored the silent old monk. He just counted a sufficient number of incense sticks from the basket next to him, picked them up, and then walked inside.
"Sister, brother-in-law, what is this?"
Han Duoduo looked at Li Shiqing. Li Shiqing lowered her head and said nothing. She rubbed her fingers for a while, as if she was thinking about something, and then walked inside.
There is a ghost here~
For just a second, she noticed that Lu Ming seemed to be holding back his smile...
"..."
After being stunned and looking at the backs of the two people, Han Duoduo clasped his hands respectfully towards the old monk and followed him in.
…
In the main hall, there is a tall statue of Bodhisattva on it. He has a face like a child and wears a crown of five Buddhas, which symbolizes the five wisdoms of Buddhism. He holds a sword in one hand and a book in the other, which means to kill all ignorance, five poisons and troubles, and gain vision.
Wisdom root.
The body of the Bodhisattva statue is slightly leaning to the right, and it is riding a blue lion mount. The whole sculpture does not appear to be very solemn, but has a peaceful and clear Zen presence.
In the Buddhist system, Manjusri is the most special person, specializing in teaching the world wisdom and understanding, what is self-grasping, annihilation of fate, joy and sorrow, birth and old age... He is determined to let the common people understand what the world view and outlook on life are.
Therefore, people seeking wisdom, learning, and understanding ultimately worship Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Carefully crossing the high threshold, Wang Shengnan glanced at Lin Miaomiao and silently reminded her about the threshold. It is common sense for worshiping Buddha not to kick the threshold when entering the temple. After confirming that she had safely entered the main hall, he walked to the Bodhisattva with confidence.
Kneel down in front of the futon in front of you and pray to the Buddha to make a wish.
The same is true for Lin Dawei.
Lin Miaomiao followed suit and knelt down.
The fragrance of burning incense shrouded the surroundings. It was fresh and long-lasting, refreshing. Several people felt empty in their hearts. They put their palms together respectfully, held their fingers together, and began to make wishes from the bottom of their hearts.
"May the Bodhisattva bless me, may my family be healthy and happy, may everything go smoothly, study hard, and strive to make progress..."
This is Wang Shengnan. She points her right palm downwards and presses it on the center of the futon. She does not move her left palm, spreads her knees, and kneels on the futon... After completing a set of postures, she gets up and walks to the incense stand to respectfully hold the incense.
Plug it in.
Then he walked aside, honestly took out his mobile phone, and scanned the QR code under the incense counter...
Then...ahem, I entered the amount and password, and the payment was successful.
"Ask for the blessings of Bodhisattva. May our family be reunited, the whole family be happy and healthy, and Miaomiao be happy and peaceful forever..."
This was Lin Dawei. He knelt down and bowed his head in the same manner as Wang Shengnan and completed the process. He also stood up and walked over, put the incense stick on the incense burner, and then stood quietly beside him waiting for Lin Miaomiao.
Wang Shengnan next to him looked at him and found that he didn't move. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code again...entered the amount and password...the payment was successful.
"Please protect me from Bodhisattva. May I pass every exam. May my parents be healthy and happy and never quarrel. May Mr. Wang Sheng never control me..."
Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, it’s unrealistic to pass every test. I won’t embarrass you. My IQ is probably hopeless. How about you just ask the teacher to give me full marks...well...lastly, if
If that doesn't work, please help me find a substitute to help me resist the control of my mother...
I can still handle school matters by myself..."
The little girl who was thinking wildly had a calm expression on her face, her eyes were closed tightly, her whole body was trembling slightly, her wishes were getting bigger and bigger, as if some slight excitement was being transmitted through her body.
Wang Shengnan next to him was secretly worried, but he didn't dare to step forward to disturb her. It wasn't until several minutes passed that Lin Miaomiao finally stood up, with a solemn expression on her face. She took every step carefully and slowly.
When I came to the incense stand, I carefully put in the incense sticks.
Stable!
Lin Miaomiao nodded secretly, her expression unchanged, as if she had been infected by the Buddha's thoughts.
Lin Dawei pulled Lin Miaomiao's arm expressionlessly, motioning her not to block her position. Lin Miaomiao raised her head with a puzzled look, and Wang Shengnan next to her took out again... The payment was successful.
This time the number was a bit bigger, but there was no other way. Comrade Wang Sheng saw that his daughter had made a wish for so long, and he guessed that the wish was not small, so he added a zero after the number in order not to offend the Bodhisattva.
Lin Miaomiao looked at her operations, her eyes widened, and her heart twitched.
The main hall is very large, with a space of at least hundreds of square meters. After all, it is the dojo of the Bodhisattva, and the grandeur cannot be underestimated. There are also several meritorious Buddhas enshrined next to it. Lin Dawei and others found the principle of worshiping the Bodhisattva when they see it, and began to pay homage to the Bodhisattva.
He bowed to the various Bodhisattvas in the back row one by one.
There is actually one, so can I be more bold with my wish?... Lin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, but she quickly calmed down and walked over.
Soon, several people walked to the position behind Manjusri.
…
…
This is the main hall
Lu Ming looked up at the plaque and couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw the thick cigarette smoke. Then he turned back and nodded slightly towards Li Shiqing and Han Duoduo. They crossed the tall threshold and knelt down in front of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
On the futon in front of me.
…
"Bodhisattva, as a layman, please don't be offended if I lose my etiquette. If possible, please ask Bodhisattva to bless Shiqing and me to be together forever..."
Lu Ming bowed respectfully to the front, his face was calm and natural, and his posture was extremely serious. He did not show any airs, did anything special about being a time traveler, or disrespected the gods and Buddhas.
After so long, he is no longer alone after all. He has concerns about important people in his heart, which always makes people more responsible and a little more afraid and awe of the unknown.
There is a god three feet above your head, not afraid of others and afraid of knowing yourself.
Now that we are all here, there is nothing wrong with lighting two sticks of incense and worshiping them devoutly. Lu Ming thought to himself, raised his head and stood up, put the incense on the incense stand, and inadvertently saw the eye-catching QR code under the incense stand.
, his expression remained unchanged, he clasped his hands respectfully and waved, then stood aside with his eyes closed and waited.
Well, Bodhisattva, under your QR code, there are small words like "As long as it comes to your mind." In this case, I can only give you my thoughts...
"He who answers thousands of prayers, Bodhisattva Nanwu Yin... Manjushri Bodhisattva, please bless Lu Ming's health and safety, and hope that he and I can be together forever... Please Bodhisattva bless Duoduo for safety and health, and everything goes well.
All your wishes come true! Namo Amitabha!"
Li Shiqing respectfully held the futon with her left hand... After completing a set of formal procedures, she stood up and walked to the incense stand to insert some incense. Then she took out her mobile phone and prepared to scan the QR code.
Lu Ming reached out and pulled Li Shiqing's arm, but she pushed it back without changing her expression. He found that it was difficult to pull it back without using any force, so he gave up.
Well, Bodhisattva, my wife has given you my heart...
"Well, Bodhisattva, I don't know how to worship you, so don't be offended... I just have one wish, that my sister, brother-in-law and I will always be happy, healthy and live a long life..."
"Bodhisattva, how about I add another one? You won't mind, right?"
"You didn't say anything, so you must not mind, right?"
"The second wish is for my grandfather to still have a registered permanent residence..."
"Bodhisattva, you didn't say anything. Do you want me to add another one?"
"Where's the third wish..."
"..."
"Bodhisattva, this is really my last wish. If possible, and if you are not too embarrassed, I won't ask for a brother-in-law. You can transform me into a younger sister and let me try the feeling of being an older sister...
"
"This is really the last one..."
After ten minutes passed, Han Duoduo seemed to be asleep and stood motionless. If it weren't for the slight parting of her lips, both of them would have thought she was really asleep. Li Shiqing's lips twitched slightly and she looked at Lu Ming to signal him to think of a solution.
, Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and fanned the breeze forcefully at Han Duoduo's door.
What kind of wish did my sister-in-law make? She has been doing it for so long...
The breeze blew over the Buddha's face, and the Zen spirit escaped. Suddenly she woke up. Han Duoduo opened her eyes and looked around guiltily. She found that her sister and brother-in-law were looking at her expressionlessly.
I didn’t go through the process of prostrating myself, and just put the vibrating incense on the incense stand.
Lu Ming looked at Li Shiqing, the two looked at each other and smiled, then pulled Han Duoduo to the back and began to worship the second Bodhisattva.
There is actually one, so I just made so many wishes... Han Duoduo looked at the second statue and was slightly stunned.
…………
…………
Lin Dawei and the three of them respectfully paid homage to the last Bodhisattva in the main hall. Wang Shengnan put away his cell phone and dragged Lin Miaomiao out of the door. Then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
But it's over... Lin Miaomiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief while being dragged, and knelt down more than a dozen times in a row. She had never been so diligent in asking her grandparents for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
"Next, why don't you go worship the God of Wealth? How about praying for a successful career?"
Lin Dawei came out last and suggested.
"become!"
"You guys come and take a look, I'll take a look at the scenery~"
In the end, Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes and ran to the pavilion nearby to sit down. Her legs were weak. This God of Wealth thing should have nothing to do with her as a student.
"Then don't run around. Mom and dad will come after they pay their respects."
Wang Shengnan looked at the dust on his daughter's knees and hesitated before saying anything.
Maybe it was because she was in the monastery, maybe she was in a Buddhist Zen mood, but she didn't get angry. Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but look at her old mother with a slightly sideways look.
It seems that I can come here more times in the future...
"Okay, okay, the temple is under surveillance, okay, I can still fly out~"
Lin Miaomiao sighed. Anyway, she didn't want to pray anymore. She felt that she had said all her wishes several times in the palace just now.
If she kept reciting it in her heart without saying anything, she felt that sooner or later she would have to spit it out.
"Then stay here and don't run around."
The location of the Temple of Wealth is not far from the pavilion, and there is no cover. The child cannot stay out of his sight, but Wang Shengnan still warned.
Lin Miaomiao didn't say anything and made an OK gesture.
"hehe"
Lin Dawei looked at the child happily, and then went to the Temple of Wealth with Wang Shengnan.
…
After a while, three more young figures came out of the main hall.
"How about finding a pavilion to take a rest?"
Lu Ming looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon, so he suggested.
"Yeah, sit down for a while."
Li Shiqing nodded in agreement.
"Just that location, there are few people."
Lu Ming glanced around, pointed to a pavilion and said, there was only one girl there, her head lowered and she seemed to be concentrating on playing with her mobile phone. She shouldn't disturb others if she went there.
Finally liberated... Han Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the two people's arrangements, and then seemed to think of something, and took the lead to walk towards the pavilion, walking very fast, as if he was in a strong position.
This time, she said that she could not let her sister and brother-in-law run in front of her to avoid her and cross the space between them.
"hehe."
Li Shiqing and Lu Ming couldn't help but smile knowingly, and slowed down their pace, showing no intention of catching up.
Actually... my sister and brother-in-law can also walk behind~
…
"Kakakakakaka, Aolig!"
Lin Miaomiao hurriedly pressed the screen of her mobile phone, and from time to time she secretly glanced in the direction of the Temple of Wealth, trying to see if her old mother had come out, in case she was caught.
Just one glance and she was stunned.
"Cross!"
The phone fell somewhere.
The figure that was running wildly froze in place at the same time.
With their eyes facing each other, the two small figures blinked, raised their heads, lowered their heads, and made a set of completely synchronized movements. Then they took a breath of cold air at the same time and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Lin Miaomiao substitute?!"
"What a good sister?!"
"you!"
"you!"
The two of them pointed at each other, choked at the same time, their hearts twitching involuntarily, and then they each took two steps back in sync, shouting wildly in their hearts:
"Bodhisattva, are you manifesting your spirit too quickly?"
"Bodhisattva, are you manifesting your spirit too quickly?"
Lin Miaomiao's heart was beating loudly. She looked at the person opposite her who was 9/9 similar to her. She couldn't say anything. She just felt her mouth was dry. A wisp of breeze blew by, making her feel tired again.
A chill arose.
Comrade Wang Sheng, why don’t you come back?
Comrade Lin Dawei, why don't you come and escort us soon?
Wang Shengnan, Wang, Lin Dawei... Lin Miaomiao's eyes suddenly opened wide. She thought of a possibility. Her heart, which was beating wildly just now, almost stopped. She quickly reached out and pressed her chest hard, for fear that she would
I accidentally fainted from fright.
We are in a scientific world, and gods and Buddhas are a bit unreliable after all, but if that is the case, it is not impossible...
Lin Miaomiao's body felt cold, and she shouted in her heart: Mom, Dad, he actually did it, he did it!!
…
After a while, Han Duoduo was the first to stabilize. After all, she was a human from another dimension who had experienced the end of the world and traveled magically from 2077 to 2014. Plus her sister and brother-in-law were both superhumans. She had a lot of thoughts about gods and Buddhas.
A touch of acceptance.
In this world...it seems that there really are Bodhisattvas.
Convinced that Lin Miaomiao was the one who made the wish just now, Han Duoduo felt guilty and looked behind her, fearing that she would see her brother-in-law and sister, and that they would accuse her of making random wishes.
I'm afraid that my sister will see my weird little thoughts...
The gentle caress passed by, like a young man's hand caressing quickly, and there was a rustling sound on the ground. Han Duoduo's face turned red and she couldn't help but look at the stone peaks on the ground, wishing she could get in and sing.
