Chapter 68

Breeze blows.

The mountains and forests sway like waves undulating.

In a pavilion, Tang Li sat cross-legged, exhaling.

In front of you, the property panel is floating.

【Spirit】: 18.9
In the sea and sky Buddhist kingdom--
Study Buddhist scriptures.

Watching the mountains and watching the tide.

Comprehend the various aspects of all beings in the world.

For the spirit and soul, it seems to be baptized and purified, and the spiritual attribute has ushered in an improvement, reaching 18.9.

In his free time, Tang Li occasionally talked about Buddhism with the old monk in the small temple.The old monk is well versed in Buddhist scriptures and has profound knowledge. Talking with him is also learning and confirming.

Breathing out lightly, Tang Li looked around.

A mountain peak winds and stretches, streams are like weaving, and tea trees are planted all over the mountain.Just in the early morning, the tea forest is shrouded in mist, sometimes like silk, sometimes filled with marriage, filled with unreal and ethereal atmosphere.

This is Suwu, a tea mountain. Most of the tea trees on the mountain are planted by monks. They are called "Yunwu Buddha Tea", and it is also a special product of Mount Putuo.

Not long after, the red sun rose.

The fiery red sun, as if gushing from the bottom of the sea, is as red as red sand, and the sunlight reflects the sea water, dyeing the entire sea surface like a red fire, as if it is burning.

hum--
There are temples ringing the morning bell.

……

At the same time, on the stone road.

The middle-aged man put his hands together and knelt on the stone steps.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-three..."

He muttered in his mouth, chanting words.

When the morning bell rang, the man was startled for a moment, and then his expression became more devout. He clasped his hands together, spread them out, put them on the ground, and knelt down to worship.

During the kneeling, I don't know what I recalled, and the man's brows showed grief and repentance.

……

……

The Buddha named the mountain.

Thousand Steps Sands.

Huading Yuntao.

Pan Tuo sunset.

Lorgar lights.

……

Tang Li practiced and watched the scenery, visited, felt, and appreciated the customs of the Haitian Buddhist Kingdom among the landscapes.

As night falls, a full moon hangs in the sky, emitting a cool and radiant light.

Tang Li sat on the rocky cliff of the ancient cave, listening to the tide and watching the sea.

The tide rushes through the cave and hits the stone wall.The waves may be turbulent or mighty, sometimes roaring like a lion or tiger, and sometimes whirling like a Bodhi, just like the Sanskrit sounds from the nature of heaven and earth, cleansing people's hearts.

These days, Tang Li also read some Buddhist scriptures.

There are many stories in Buddhist scriptures.Some stories are true, some are bizarre, some have twists and turns, and some are even absurd.It doesn't matter whether the story is true or not. The Zen principles contained in each story, whether you agree with it or have confusion, are all proof of practice.

Today's Tang Li's spirit and will are faintly different from ordinary people, and he gradually has his own understanding of many things.

"what?"

At this moment, as if seeing something, Tang Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the night, a figure appeared.

He stepped on the cliff with slow steps.

"It's him?"

Tang Li recognized this person, it was the man who had worshiped devoutly on the stone path.

The man walked a little slowly, as if he had something on his mind, he stepped onto the cliff facing the sea step by step, stopped and stood, looking at the sea.

"Could it be that you want to die?"

Seeing this scene, Tang Li couldn't help but startled.

……

……

"It's time to end."

"Juanzi, Xiaohan, I'm here to accompany you."

Looking at the turbulent sea, Lin Guotao murmured.

He remembered many things.

But in the end, it all turned into painful memories, like a nightmare, engraved in his soul, lingering.

He is going to end all of this today.

"Why do you want to die?"

Just as Lin Guotao was about to jump and end his life, a voice suddenly came.

"Who?"

Lin Guotao was startled and looked around.

But he didn't see anyone.

"Why do you want to die?"

The voice came again.

calm.

There was another gloomy feeling.

"Could it be a Bodhisattva manifesting?"

Lin Guotao was confused, and then his expression became sad and painful: "I don't deserve to live in this world, I don't want to persist anymore..."

"I want to end this."

Lin Guotao sat slumped on the ground, tears streaming down his face, unable to control it any longer, expressing the pain in his heart.

He used to have a gentle wife, a cute and well-behaved son, and a happy family.

By chance, he met a friend.

This friend, who runs a casino, makes a living by gathering others to gamble or lending money.He invited Lin Guotao to join him.Of course Lin Guotao knew that gambling together was illegal, but he failed to withstand the temptation of wealth and chose a partnership.From then on, he also realized how dark the gambling game was. In order to lure people to the casino, all kinds of scams were set up, which was shocking, and many people lost their homes and families because of this.

Looking at these tragedies, Lin Guotao also struggled and hesitated in his heart, but seeing the wealth and money he got from it, and seeing himself becoming rich day by day, he couldn't bear to give up after all. Gradually, they became more and more greedy, and the scams they set up There are also more and more people, crazily defrauding and amassing wealth.Until one day, Lin Guotao took the money again and went home full of satisfaction, only to see his wife and children who had been murdered.

A gambler who lost his eyes and learned that Lin Guotao had set up a scam, went to his house with a knife and killed his wife and children.

Since that day, Lin Guotao's world has completely collapsed.

The murderer was brought to justice, and Lin Guotao also spent eight years in prison for gambling and defrauding.

After he was released from prison, he began to speak out, admonishing people to stay away from gambling. He exposed many scams and made many people who were caught in gambling wake up.

But these could not make up for his inner pain and repentance. He worshiped Buddha and chanted scriptures, and traveled all over the temples to seek inner peace.In order to repent, he once knelt in front of the Buddha statue for three days and three nights, but when he closed his eyes, the scene of his wife and children being murdered would appear in front of his eyes like a nightmare, lingering.

"So, you want to die?"

Listening to all this, Tang Li sighed lightly and said.

"Don't I deserve to die?"

"I'm very tired from persisting. It's time to accompany Juanzi and Xiaohan."

Lin Guotao murmured.

"It's better to think about it again."

"Think carefully..."

"If your wife and children are alive in heaven, do they hope that you will die, or do they hope that you can continue to stay in this world with the memory of them? Maybe you can do something meaningful because of it."

Tang Lidao.

"You are……"

Lin Guotao finally realized that this was not a manifestation of a Bodhisattva. He followed the sound suddenly, but there was no one there.

There is only one scripture left on the cliff.

Lin Guotao took the scriptures.

It is not some profound Buddhist scriptures.

It's just a 【Heart Sutra】.

Tang Li left.

He is not a savior.

I also don't want to interfere with Lin Guotao's life.

The scriptures are not important, they are just the medium.

People's beliefs, in the final analysis, only come from their own hearts.Life or death, as long as Lin Guotao can face his heart and believe in him, he will make the right choice.
