My years as a fortune teller

When I stood up and was about to go out, I suddenly saw that the little nun's eyes were swollen like peaches. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so she covered her mouth with her hand.Then he followed behind the little nun slowly and came to the master.

Master didn't even turn his head, and said to me: "Just now, didn't you get high-spirited and educate these two children with the stories of ancient sages and great virtues? How could this become an eggplant beaten by Shuang?"

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly said: "Master looks like this!" I can still feel the majesty.

I immediately knelt down on the ground, just as I was about to kowtow to admit my mistake.The teacher came over and helped me up, and then said to everyone: "This child is actually not wrong, and it is true that we are also at fault."

Upon hearing this, the master immediately said: "Everyone makes mistakes, but he is not such a nonsense. Who do you think you are? You dare to talk about Buddhism and scriptures in such a grand manner, isn't it just because you read more books than others?" ? I don’t know the severity of the evil obstacle, and if you continue to kneel, who told you to get up.”

When I heard this, I was so frightened that I hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and I could feel that Master was really angry this time.Since I followed Master, I have never seen anything like this.Generally, even if you are angry, as long as others persuade him, you will forgive him.But this time it was a good thing, the vowel master talked too much, and the master called me evil. This was the first time in history, which shows how angry the master is.

Zen Master Shenwu suddenly laughed, and then said to his master, "Let's forget about this matter, after all, he also had good intentions. Moreover, I have realized something from what he just said. As for the previous Treat nonsense words as a kind of experience for my apprentice!"

The master sighed and said: "Although that is the case, today's disturbance is too outrageous. It is true that his intention for doing this is good, but the way he did it is really abominable. I will not punish anything else, just make him kneel on the ground. It's fine here."

He stopped talking about me, but continued to talk about Buddhism and Taoism.Listening to their talk about Buddhism and Taoism, I suddenly felt drowsy and fell asleep on my knees without knowing it.Speaking of this, I have slept on my knees in the past, but after going out, I have never slept like this.

When I was sleeping in a daze, I saw someone calling me not far away. I couldn't make out what I looked like, it seemed to be a woman and it didn't seem to be.I was about to report to Master, but seeing the anger on his face, I decided not to tell him.

I took a few steps back quietly, and then jumped over the fence beside me.Quietly ran towards the person who waved to me.After turning over a hillside, I realized that it was not a woman who waved to me, but a man.

It's just that this man is not tall, has long hair loose, and wears a Taoist robe.I turned my head and looked at him. This man's age cannot be seen from his face.Because he has a baby face, but there are some crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

I walked over, bowed to him and said, "The Taoist priest asked me to come, but what is your order?" I thought he must have something important to say after he bypassed Master and called me over.

But who knew that the priest just nodded and turned to look at the opposite mountain.What does it mean to be dizzy? Call me over and don't speak.If Master finds out about this, he will have to take my skin off.No matter how fat I am, I'm still not used to being skinned.

While thinking about this, the Taoist priest said in front of him: "One evening, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly. He flapped his wings, and it turned out to be like a butterfly. He was very happy. At this time, he was completely He forgot that he was Zhuang Zhou. After a while, he realized in a dream that the proud butterfly was Zhuang Zhou. Then, did Zhuang Zhou dream to become a butterfly? Or was the butterfly dreaming to be Zhuang Zhou? Zhuang Zhou could be a butterfly, a butterfly It could also be Zhuang Zhou."

What I know about this story is "Zhuangzi", which is the book named "Nanhua Jing" by Tang Minghuang.It records a dream of Zhuangzi, but there is a very deep meaning in it.

I just thought about it, and then I heard the priest say: "You should have heard this story, have you experienced it?" This really caught me.The story must have been heard, because this "Nanhua Jing" is one of the Taoist classics, can I not read it?As for this experience, I don't seem to be very deep.

The Taoist priest didn't look back, but looked at the mountains in the distance and said softly: "The difference between all things in the world is only relative, and they can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. If I go further, I want to say that for some things, Don't worry too much, it's better to let nature take its course. It's like those who argue with people around with some classics all day long, just showing off their wisdom. The difference is that they only objectively reflect things and reflect the way of nature. Xunzi said that the way of heaven is permanent, and it does not exist for Yao and does not perish for Jie. Everything is treated with a calm heart, and naturally there are many less troubles. "

I was stunned. It was the first time I heard such an explanation. Thinking of this, I looked at the Taoist priest and said, "I seem to understand something, can I say it? Even if someone treats me as a pig and dog, so what? Everyone thinks pigs and dogs are cheap, but they already have their own happiness. It’s not that you say I’m a pig, and I’m really a pig, and it’s not that you say I’m a dog, and I’m really a dog. The transformation of everything It's all instantaneous, maybe one day, people will envy the life of pigs and dogs. We use the classics to preach to people every day, but the preaching of heaven and earth does not use these great principles, and they all tell us in the simplest way. the true meaning of the Tao."

The Taoist priest nodded slightly, and said to me: "A child can be taught! Yes, the ability to comprehend is relatively strong. You can't judge anything by superficial performance. People who only see the superficial, use classics Boasting people, this is a stupid thing to do. When you are doing things for others, can you see your master holding a scripture and talking about you?"

As soon as I heard the words of the Taoist priest, I shivered with excitement.It turned out to be this meaning, it seems that I was really wrong today.No wonder the master got so angry, hey, it seems that I am a sheep's lung, and when I boiled in the water, I floated to the pot.

While thinking this way, someone twisted his ears.It was at this moment that I suddenly opened my eyes and took a closer look. The teacher and Uncle Xuanhe both leaned over to look at me.And the teacher's hand was twisting my ear.

Seeing that I opened my eyes, the teacher said with a smile, "Old Taoist Shui, the little fat man has become more courageous and thick-skinned now. Look at the person who made you kneel and fell asleep with his head on your waist. You see This halazi has flowed all over the place."

I didn't pay attention to the teacher's words, I just wiped the halazi at the corner of my mouth.I rolled my eyes at the teacher, and looked up, except that the master's head was behind my back.The rest of the people looked at me, covered their mouths and laughed.

Especially the little monk and the little nun smiled the happiest. I really forgot about Master punishing me. I stretched myself and stood up. Ignoring the surprised eyes of others, I picked up Master's tea bowl and took a sip of tea.When I put down the bowl, I suddenly saw their strange expressions, and I immediately knew that I had made a mistake again.

I hastily knelt down behind Master and said in my mouth: "Master, my disciple is wrong. I shouldn't have taught people these things with the scriptures. This just shows that I am showing off my wisdom, not really enlightened. I only saw The surface of the younger brother and younger sister did not see the real heart. These are contrary to the teachings of the master. Xunzi said that good things happen in the sky, not for Yao, not for Jie. The disciple was wrong today. The master can punish the disciple as he likes."

Kneeling on the ground and lowering his head, the master sighed and said to me, "If you can think of the changes in the sky, you are not kneeling here in vain. Get up!" Wow, my punishment has passed...
