Second Continuation of Golden Plum

Chapter 40

Master Yueyan broke the Buddha and got the Pearl, and the layman Zhao donated his family to build a temple. The poem said:

Xie sent Geer to untie the eagle, half a bag of poems and a branch of vine.

It is hard to find daylilies to reward my friend, and I plan to fold lotus flowers for the holy monk.

The wife's lust is impeded by throwing it away, so she is called Jiuxie and incompetent.

Lumen has learned Pang Gongfa, and it is Mahayana to wash away the family ties.

Seeing Tu Benchi's retribution is not happy, it can be seen that there must be a reason for the eminent monk to pass the world.Let’s say that Zen master Xuejian is the incarnation of ancient Buddha, and he is pervasive in the world. For the cause of great events, he practiced in the stone house behind Mount Tai, under the pseudonym Xuejian.First, he served tea at the Guanyin Hall in Wucheng County. Later, Brother Hui died and became a monk. He changed his name to Kong and lived in Pilu Nunnery, Shanshi Village, Zhao Xing'an, for three years.Liaokong met his family Taiding and reported that his mother Yunniang was in Huai'an.After resigning from Teacher Yueyan, the two went south to visit their mother, which is the principle in Buddhism that the family relationship should be completed first, and then enlightenment should be achieved later.In the past three years, this monk Yueyan lived alone in the nunnery without any apprentices, and he did all the cooking and sweeping, planting vegetables and fetching water by himself.Because he recruited a Taoist, he came down from Bianliang to avoid the soldiers, with a tiger head and eagle eyes, and a yellow beard.Take a wooden fish nunnery and go to Huazhai. Seeing that there is no one in Yueyan's family, he is willing to practice with his master and become a monk.Yueyan was overjoyed, and chose a day to shave his hair with him, and named him Chen.Tell him to cook fire, sweep the floor and clean the toilet, and monk Yueyan will help him half of it.

It turns out that in this Buddhist jungle, there are many wandering monks who don't learn well, and evil ghosts who use the word "monk" to cover up the ten demon kings.This Taoist was originally a follower of the Bianliang thief Wang Shanbiao. Later, because the Marshal of Dongzong Zong died while staying behind in Tokyo, everyone fled and rebelled.At the beginning, it was only said that Monk Yueyan was here to relax and eat freely, but he was an ascetic monk who was busy from morning till night.When he got up at four o'clock, he was so busy fetching water and heating the fire that he was so busy that he was busy picking up manure and carrying firewood. An old monk helped him do half of the work, so he had to be free.I couldn't do it for a while, and was beaten twice by the old monk with a Zen battle.It is often punished to kneel down to clear the rules, kneeling with two sticks of incense in front of the Buddha, and not allowed to get up.Don't be wary of this, Liaochen has bad intentions, and waits for the old monk to go out to the village, but he starts a fire.The main hall is a thatched cottage. When a fire was caught, they rushed to the village to ask people to put out the fire.Waiting for people to come, two rooms of the main hall have been burned, and a Buddha has just been rescued, and it is burned like a charcoal man.

But see:

With black eyebrows and gray face, his forehead is scorched. 32 Good friends, how have you ever left a white hair? Thousands of billions of incarnations, there is nowhere to escape, and you will return to the catastrophe!Earth, water, fire, and wind cannot jump out of the sea of ​​suffering; birth, old age, sickness and death, where is there an indestructible golden body?The rain of the cool Dharma is lost and wet, and the flames of the heavens will be rescued.

Zhao Xingan and monk Yueyan put out the fire, and invited out a golden statue carved with sandalwood, which was so smoky that it was not solemn.This Zhao Xingan was very complacent, and just said: "Everyone donate silver, let's carve a new statue." The old monk was not worried or annoyed, and said with a smile: "This piece of wood has more troubles. According to my Tathagata's method, Originally, there was no image, so that all sentient beings could find their own Buddha-nature, which is called extinction. It is only because after the extinction of the Buddha, the kingdoms of heaven and man distributed the relics, and all countries made offerings. King Youtian started to build a Buddha statue, using gold as a treasure, but the real gold was lost. Therefore, the golden body was handed down to the east, and it added many colors. I have become a traitor to the Buddha and asked for a statue." Immediately, he took a sharp axe and chopped the burning Buddha statue to pieces.Zhao Xing'an clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, but he dared not move there.Cut to the middle of the Buddha's belly, there was only a sound, and a gauze bag burst out.But what?
But see:

The gravel of the cold light is full of auspicious colors.Light and smooth, under Lilong's jaw, a string of Yao ice was picked; Yuan Tuotuo, from the old clam's womb, spit out several rounds of bright moons.When the dragon girl came up, she washed away the six dusts and did not move; the Muni pushed out, and the light illuminated the first circle for thousands of kalpas.Ordinary people are greedy, how can they hide it deeply; the treasures of the Chu state may not necessarily take advantage of it.Washing away the dirt is a wishful treasure, and removing dust is really a reassuring bead.

Back then when Aunt Cen was in Japan, she took a hundred and eight beard beads from Chu Yunniang, sewed them into a yellow gauze bag, and hid them in the belly of the Buddha.After more than ten years now, no one knows.This bead deserves to appear today to help build temples and build Buddha merits.Isn't it a strange thing.

There is a poem saying:
There is no doubt that there is no doubt about the fact that every pearl is found by caesarean section, everyone has a Muni under their clothes.

An Zhizhu is still lost, and the Buddha knows when the pearl is gone.

Zhao Xingan and the Tanyue benevolent people who were fighting the fire together couldn't bear to see the elder chopping the Buddha, and everyone was a little angry.Just now when I was about to persuade him, I suddenly split open my chest and abdomen, and a gauze bag of seven or eight inches leaked out. It was a string of counting beads, one hundred and eight finger-sized beads, which weighed 12 taels, and were truly priceless treasures. "I don't know where this pearl came from? Isn't it a gift from heaven to complete the Buddhist work." The monk Yueyan hurriedly burned incense, bowed to the Buddha three times, and shouted "Amitabha, the most spiritual and most sensible Guanyin Bodhisattva" together with the Buddha.According to Zhao Xing'an, he persuaded the elders not to break the Buddha's lower body, but the elders refused to listen, saying: "With this Buddha beads, build a new image, build the main hall, and set up a forest. It is better to cremate this image." Immediately use fire. set up.Just smell the aroma of sandalwood for one day, it melts but does not stay.Everyone here worshiped Wei Tuo, vowed to build another Buddhist hall, and went.

The one hundred and eight pearls were in Yueyan's hands, and there was no place to store them for a while, so it was a hindrance, so I thought about it for a while: "There is only a broken monk's patched Zen robe, which I became a monk myself." Come at night, There was no one under the lamp, so he quietly took the beads, took apart the tattered patch on his chest, put them in the middle, and sewed them tightly with thread, who knew that his clothes were brown and pregnant with jade.

But he said that Liaochen was a long-standing robber who was going to leave when he set the fire, because there was nothing to steal from the nunnery, and he went out empty and had no money to spend.He took a kitchen knife and said, "Kill the old monk in the middle of the night and get this jewel." At three o'clock, he picked up the knife from the dust - it had been sharpened - and went to the window of the meditation hall, and saw the old monk sewing Necklace hides beads.It can be seen clearly that the two feet seem to be nailed together, and they still can't move at dawn.I saw the old monk opened the door of his room, got out of bed with a Zen stick, scared Chen so much that he couldn't keep up, threw away the knife, and took a broom to sweep the brick dust from the broken house.The old monk said: "Liaochen, you pile up the burnt wood, bricks and stones one by one, and I will clean it myself in the back toilet." I took a bamboo basket and wooden shovel, went to the back toilet, and left At the door of the room, there is only a broken robe left on the kang. It is expected that no one knows that there is a treasure in the middle.But he didn't know that Chen came to harm him in the middle of the night, and he had already seen it.As soon as I saw the old monk going to the back toilet, it was expected that for half an hour, I saw that the door was not locked, and a robe was being thrown on the kang, so I hurried in to get the robe, took a wooden fishing rod, and went out. fly away.Don't take the main road, but go south from the deserted alley.

Poetry:

Only when you meet a pearl, you lose it; if you don't meet blue eyes, you meet a fool.

The origin of the image is really hard to find, Chishui is vast and the sea is dry.

Not to mention that one hundred and eight pearls were stolen by the thief monk Liaochen in Pilu Temple.Just say that Zhao Xing'an has always worshiped the Buddha and worshiped the monks. Because he has no brothers and wives, and he is over a few years old, he thinks that the ten thousand gold family business he has built in his life has no place to use. A miracle, isn’t it a gift from heaven to Buddha, and my sincerity moved Guanyin Bodhisattva! Now that a big temple is built, and another golden body is built, it is not in vain that I, Zhao Xing’an, have become a good wave. That day I resigned from the monk Yueyan and went home Please sit down in the living room. Zhao Xingan clasped his hands on his chest and said, "My friends and neighbors, I want Pilu Temple to be burned. It needs to be established in the past. I can't get it together for a while." Money and food.I am old and clumsy all my life, and I have accumulated this small piece of furniture, and I used to support my appearance with my brothers and nephews.Now there are no brothers, no children, and there is nowhere to spend the furniture left, and there are only a few clansmen who can't afford it.Now I want to learn how to give to the lonely elders, even though there is no gold bricks to lay the ground, the Pang Gong will pay off his debts, and he will finish his own heart.Today, please bring all your relatives and neighbors, and make an inventory of the money, grain and livestock produced by the family estate.I am alone, and I can't take care of the big work in the temple. I divide it among the people and lead the deacons, or take care of burning bricks and tiles, buying wood, guaranteeing craftsmen, gold paint, oil and powder; How much money is charged, everyone will achieve success together, and also complete the merits of building a Buddha. "

After finishing speaking, he called both of them to come and open the store in the house.I saw: the white is silver, and the yellow is gold.Dig the cellar, strike silver bricks from all directions; raise the balance, and cast gold cakes in ten changes.Those who are in charge of clothes are arranging splendid brocades, and they can't wear all kinds of brocade silks; those who are in charge of jewellery, their cabinets are full of rare treasures, and they can't see through the treasures of previous dynasties.Even if Su Feng praised Yidun, he would not envy Tao Zhu with green clam.All the relatives and neighbors read a large booklet, which contained about 30 yuan in wealth, and they were all shocked and praised, and then they took out the warehouse in the back garden.Filling the mouth with rice and sorghum, there is an inexhaustible surplus for [-] years; the rotten rice and wheat are an incalculable abundance for thousands of households.Rao makes Lu Su refer to hoarding, might as well divide the spring between Gongjin and Jin.What's the use of red and fresh to envy Chen Cang, but Bai Can doesn't need to praise Luokou.All the relatives and neighbors looked at the warehouse, and there were more than [-] grains.He also enlightened the mules, horses, cattle and sheep, and the debt books of various stores one by one. He is also a farmer who has been diligent and thrifty for many years, and a god of blessings who has a lot of department stores.There are tall buildings and curved pavilions, halls with colored paintings, orchards and vegetable gardens in Shuidu Mountain, rice shops and cloth shops, and oil and noodle shops.Zhao Xing'an divided the furniture into three parts, one part for repairing Buddhist affairs, and the other part for helping the poor and supporting the clan; the previous debts and accounts of various stores were burned.That's what it is: you can't keep it until you let go, and it's always empty in the blink of an eye.

In less than a month, the relatives and neighbors took the gold and silver, rented work to rejuvenate the crowd, some burned bricks and tiles to buy wood and stone, and some went to Linqing to buy paint and gold lacquer.In half a year, three halls of colored glaze were built, and a sandalwood Vairocana Buddha was carved, which was two feet taller than the old one.The front and rear mountain gates, meditation halls, kitchens, and scripture pavilions were all built together, resplendent and magnificent.Because the old monk Yueyan lost his pearl, he went to travel to find it, and because he built a big temple, he stayed again.Burn the fire by yourself, take care of the craftsmen's fasting, and clean things up when you are free.A dharma master was invited, a monk from Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, whose Dharma name is Xinglang, to give lectures on the three great scriptures.Immediately, a thatched hut was built and became a Dacha jungle.After the success, Zhao Xing'an also converted his house into a nunnery to support Guanyin.Suddenly one day, please put Monk Yueyan and all the good believers together, say a few words, sit down with palms together, and leave a niche to stand behind Pilu Temple without mentioning it.I don't know what monk Yueyan's later merits are, it is exactly: the mysterious beads under the clothes are lost, and the Vatican Pavilion in the air is about to be completed.

Let's listen to the next chapter.
