Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 294 An ancient temple with no history

Lu Feng didn't know what Bayin Lotus Tu thought of him, but Lu Feng really didn't care about these things. Even if Bayin Lotus Tu was arrogant and couldn't see him, Lu Feng would still feel strange. He stopped now and had distracting thoughts. Heavy.

He fiddled with his rosary beads and began to sort out his distracting thoughts this time, sorting them out one by one.

First of all, there is the issue of taking exams.

Thinking about this "written test", he should have no problems.

Now his test lies in the next "project establishment" and "bible debate".

Although there is no way of knowing what the "project" of this sutra and treatise is intended to establish this time, I guess it will not deviate too much. Just brought in, it is impossible for those masters to use this "teaching material" that has not yet been disseminated.

The remaining "project establishment" should also be found from various previous "teaching materials", so this is not a bad thing for Lu Feng.

After finishing thinking about the subject of the exam, the next step was the various strange things he encountered in the main hall. Lu Feng silently recited his "Fudo Ming King Heart Mantra", and his heart gradually became quiet. Come down and think about it from this point of view, he actually needs to go to two places to take a look.

The first place he heard was the sound of sacrifice coming from outside the temple.

Lu Feng wanted to find the history of Zhaju Monastery in this Sutra Printing House. For such a place where he had to study for several years or even more than ten years, Lu Feng had to be careful about Zhaju Monastery. A comprehensive, serious understanding.

Everything he said was true.

The second place was naturally the place he saw in his dream.

The first three "wooden libraries" cannot be said to be "shocking" in any way. Among these three "wooden libraries", there should not be many scriptures, but this is the first one. Lu Feng has not read all the Buddhist scriptures in the "Sutra Collection Tower".

When the attendant monks saw Lu Feng in red, they all made way for the monks like Lu Feng to pass by. And when Lu Feng was on the road, he also had to make way for the bigger monks to move forward. From this point of view, Zhaju Temple is still very strict, but as Lu Feng walked, he was shaking his "Prayer Wheel", and the "Rhyme of Great Compassion" washed over the other monks over and over again. In the body, this is the so-called convenience for others and convenience for oneself.

There is no more useful way to observe this kind of thing than to observe Zhaju Temple from the entire history. At the gate of the Sutra Printing House, Lu Feng also met the "reincarnated Buddha" sent by Bayin Lotus Tu to pick up the book. Lu Feng Feng greeted him politely, and Lu Feng couldn't help but think of what he said to Bayin Lianhua Tu again.

There are some things that cannot be spoken out. If you speak out, they will become troubles.

On the "gate" soaked in tung oil, there are bright yellow glazed tiles, making a "shielding" shape. The unknown blue Bodhisattva mantra wheel hangs on the gate. The monks coming and going will see it. Books borrowed or to be returned are held tightly in the arms, coming and going in a hurry.

On the left and right, one or two people can pass together.

From time to time, he would see "discipline monks" here. Sometimes these "discipline monks" would come over when they saw Lu Feng looking into the alley, waving their iron rods and rudely telling Lu Feng to leave. Naturally, he put his hands together and thanked him. After walking for half a day, Lu Feng had not seen the place in his dream. However, even with Lu Feng's footsteps, the part he walked in one morning was just a few steps. It's just a small piece of land belonging to the temple.

However, the Sutra Printing House is also a part of the temple, so the hierarchy in the Sutra Printing House is also clear.

Therefore, Lu Feng had to say goodbye early the next morning. He once again received a letter of silver from Bayin Lotus Picture as an offering, and just left here. Lu Feng followed the flow of Buddhist monks and some attendant monks in yellow clothes and came to Zhaju Monastery.

He still needs to think clearly about this matter, otherwise, if the danger comes next, he will not need to get anything else, but if he is slightly interfered with during the "bible debate", then he may end up with a lot of trouble. human form.

Lu Feng stood in front of the Sutra Printing House. This place is the "crystallization of wisdom" and the "supreme treasure land". In the local language, this is the "fruit of the wisdom tree of Bodhisattva". In this Sutra Printing House, the wisdom of countless generations is hidden. For example, the "Golden Light Sutra" that is being studied this time is a complete classic and is placed in the Sutra Printing House.

Take one look outside and leave.

Even if Lu Feng had a note from "Master Mastiff", he would not have access to many books, such as the entire "Golden Light Sutra", and the entire printing house was built along that broad river. A large number of earth-yellow walls surround the entire Sutra Printing House like a coiled dragon. It is very majestic, but strangely, the door of the Sutra Printing House is quite small.

But sometimes, the truth is not the same as the truth.

There were also some places that Lu Feng couldn't get through at all. There were locks on the streets and in the main hall, and there were "discipline monks" guarding the front. No one was allowed to enter at all, and no one was even allowed to look twice.

This is one of the "convenient methods" practiced by Lu Feng. At this stage, they are actually practicing all the time!
Only by treating everything in your daily life as practice can you maintain your current state. In the eyes of masters like them, everything is practice and there must be no slacking off!
This is the first time that Lu Feng can walk slowly in Zhaju Monastery. Although Lu Feng also has a "purpose" this time, compared with this "purpose" that can be postponed, it is better to visit and watch carefully. Zhaju Monastery is the most serious one. Walking in Zhaju Monastery, this ancient building gave Lu Feng many surprises, but there were many places where even Lu Feng felt a chill of horror when he looked over. Lu Feng did not go into some ancient alleys.

A large number of wind horse flags and mani were piled outside the Bible Printing House, and inside the Bible Printing House, there were prayer flags like a sea of ​​clouds. With Lu Feng's status at this time, the only place he could go to was at the front of the entire Bible Printing House. As usual, Lu Feng was not allowed to enter the back of the three "library pavilions". Lu Feng came to the first three-story wooden library and searched up and down.

Therefore, Lu Feng was not discouraged even though he found nothing. He walked out of the Zhaju Monastery and came to the side of the Sutra Printing Yuan. The largest collection of books in the Zhaju Monastery was in the Sutra Printing Yuan!

However, Lu Feng has no plans to read these scriptures for the time being.

Today there is not much time left before "debating scriptures". He has no time to delve into new "vast scriptures". He just has to make his "Buddha Heart" unable to retreat, but speaking of It’s simple, but it’s so difficult to do.

Don’t underestimate the words “no retreat”.

Many masters have failed in the end because of these four words: "no retreat".

In the tantric realm, the upper-level masters are one of the masters of the tantric realm. As their status in the hierarchy continues to increase, the masters will naturally have a feeling that the entire tantric realm is actually for exist to serve Him.

At that time, many "sufferings" in the eyes of Bodhisattvas are readily available to these masters. Therefore, the masters of the sixth level cannot be shaken, and the masters of the fifth level have broken renunciation and are shaken. Buried in the sea of ​​suffering.

it's the same!
all the same!

Even if you reach the fourth stage and achieve enlightenment, what if you have a pure mind? Can a "stainless heart" really be free from all things in the world?
In some aspects, for example, the "purity view" sought by Mahayana Buddhism and the "immaculate mind" sought by the fourth stage of the tantric realm are naturally similar, but regardless of whether it is the "purity" of Mahayana Buddhism, Neither the "observation" nor the fourth-level "immaculate mind" can maintain a Buddha mind and never retreat! Even if he is a fourth-level master, his three minds will still retreat due to various reasons. He will still change from a successful master to an ordinary person.

The cultivation level is there at this moment, but it may also turn into nothingness in the next moment!
As long as you are in a sea of ​​suffering, all of this will be impossible.

Lu Feng also knew this, and he should know it, so he understood even more that cultivation was a never-ending step-by-step progress, and it was something that had to be planned slowly. He could not rush or make mistakes.

If he is anxious, he will easily make mistakes; if he is wrong, he will be slow!

Therefore, Lu Feng first wanted to find out the history of Zhaju Temple, and find out everything about Zhaju Temple from history!

Most people who write history are very interesting. All history is processed orally spoken words. Even the most impartial historian can always see some of their own understanding and ideas when reading between the lines. They cannot He may be a public figure who is always impartial. As the saying goes, people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?
What's more, someone who compiles history?

This is also Lu Feng's "it is better to believe in no books than to have no books at all", and if there are many historical materials that corroborate each other, Lu Feng is likely to find a trace of the haze hidden in history from these historical materials that can corroborate each other.

Therefore, when Lu Feng searched the three "book collection places" and failed to find any historical materials, Lu Feng searched for the monk in charge here, clasped his hands and asked him about the books on the history of Zhaju Temple.

The old monk looked surprised. He stared at Lu Feng and said, "What did you say? What do you want?"

Lu Feng repeated the words, and the monk shook his head, still confused and said: "You monk are really making fun of me.

I have never heard these statements from you.

If you want to get the scriptures, I can find them for you.

I have been a monk in charge here for many years, but how can I find the past in this temple that you want?
That is something that does not exist!

Ah, ah, you might as well find two old monks and ask them to tell you.

You didn't come here to look for scriptures, you just came to look for the temple's past. Are you really here to play tricks on me? "

The red-clothed master clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at the monk in front of him with some suspicion. Knowing that he was just joking with him, he also gave Lu Feng some pointers.

It means don’t look for the history of the temple in this Bible printing house.

If he really wanted to find them, he should go to the temple to find two old monks and ask these monks about the past stories of the temple.

Lu Feng glanced left and right, and then smoothly stuffed the envelope of silver that he had still warmed into the arms of the guru opposite him as an offering. After making the offering, he clasped his hands together and bent down to salute. He asked humbly and respectfully: "Master, where should I go to find such a master as you mentioned?"

The red-clothed guru naturally accepted the offering. In the darkness, he accepted the "enshrined" guru, and his face became solemn. He stared at Lu Feng's face for a long time, and kept looking at Lu Feng. After a while, Just now he said: "You go to the temple and find a cooking monk who is drying pickles in the temple. Wherever you smell the pickles, you go there, and you go to the place where the pickles are drying. You can see an old monk who is in bad shape. When you see him, you can ask him.

But his ears are already deaf. Even if you leave him next to a herd of wild horses, he will not hear the sound of the wild horses' hooves.

But his eyes are already blurry. Even if you push him under the thunder, he can't see the shining of the thunder.

There is no need for you to look for him.

By the way, you, a monk, by the way, what is your name as a monk?

Yongzhen?

Yongzhen, I have never seen you before, and I have never heard of your name. You must be a monk from other places?
Oh, it turned out to be a monk from the 'Endless White Pagoda Temple'?
As expected, he is a monk from out of town. If you, a monk, don't study hard, what are you doing here to find out the past in the temple? "

The guru was also kind-hearted. This was not the first time that Lu Feng bumped into the guru in charge. The guru's hair was short, an inch. He looked too old, and there was something about his whole body. The stock smells like an old man.

His face and body are covered with brown age spots, and his skin has become saggy. When he opens his mouth, you can see that all his big teeth have fallen out, and his hands are exposed and dry. layer of skin, no more flesh and blood.

And he didn't like the sun, so he often sat in a dark corner and watched all the monks coming and going.

At this moment, the skylight came down and shone on his outstretched hand, giving people a feeling of "time intertwined", and there was nothing "special" about him that he had achieved success in practice. Lu Feng knew in his heart that in the secret In a place like the Legal Domain, where does "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" come from? Everyone has so much strength and shows so much strength.

Hidden clumsiness?

Hidden clumsiness is not popular in the esoteric realm. The most profound master of Buddhism can make kings kneel at his feet. The strongest and most majestic men can choose cattle, sheep and women first.

Therefore, this master was actually already in his twilight years, but facing such a monk who had no "future", Lu Feng was still respectful. He took out the offering again and placed it in front of the master. In his hand, he asked the guru for advice. The guru took the offering and suddenly said to Lu Feng: "You are like a big donor with this method. It's a pity that I am no longer the young master of Dracang Monastery. Master, otherwise you can still have a bowl of soft and glutinous rice. If you want to go, go find it immediately. "

He did nothing to stop Lu Feng, but when Lu Feng turned around to leave, he heard the old monk behind him say softly: "The temple never has a past, and if you go looking for it, it will only increase your troubles.

What a pity for a young benefactor.

What a pity, what a pity! "
