Chang Man burst into tears: "It's Chang Man's own fault! Chang Man's family was poor, so he became a eunuch in the palace! Then Gao Jieyu gave me some money and asked me to keep an eye on the emperor's movements. I was fascinated for a while. , so I accepted the money. Yesterday the emperor was going to Gao Jieyu's palace, I told Gao Jieyu early, I didn't want the emperor to go to Zhaoyuan's palace on a whim, Gao Jieyu was very angry, and took me Come out and prick my whole body with silver needles!" After saying that, he rolled up his clothes, and the dots of bright red marks were densely packed, shocking!
Qiu Chan couldn't help screaming, this Gao Jieyu was too cruel, such a method was subtle and painful, thanks to her thinking of it!

Bi Yue was startled and said: "You are the person beside Eunuch Zheng, how dare she treat you like this?" Chang Man smiled wryly: "I am just the last little eunuch, how can anyone treat me like a human being!"

A chill flashed in Yang Yu's heart. She thought Gao Qingxue came from a famous family, so she must be a little different. She didn't expect her to be such a narrow-minded person!good!Want to fight her!I will accompany you to the end!
Qiu Chan has a good impression of Chang Man, although last time it was planned to go out to save her, but it is also a kind of fate, now seeing him being bullied like this!

She couldn't help saying: "This vicious Gao Jieyu! Why are you singing Buddhist songs! The Lord Buddha will definitely make her have sores on her head, pus on her feet, and she will piss her ass off when she walks on the road!" Swear vulgarly.Knowing that she was aggrieved for herself, she was a little moved and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Biyue smiled and said: "This Qiuchan! She just speaks out loud, a girl from every family, and she speaks so unbearably!" Those who didn't want to say it had no intention of saying it, but those who listened meant it, Yang Yu's eyes lit up, and said: "This time Qiu Chan Cicada is right! Just tell her to fuck off!"

The three were very surprised, and Yang Yu burst out laughing, "Isn't Gao Qingxue pretentious? Let's find a way to make her lose face! Chang Man, do you dare to take the risk?" Chang Man looked at Yang Yu looked like he had a full chest, so he couldn't help nodding his head: "I will do everything according to the order of Empress Zhaoyuan!"

So Yang Yu whispered in their ears.The three of them knew each other and planned with a smile.

When Yang Yu arrived at the Buddhist meeting, it was already full of people, and it was very lively. Master Mingjing was already sitting on the top, the concubine and the emperor bowed piously to the ground, and all the concubines followed suit. Yang Yu hurriedly knelt down and devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha.The rituals of this Buddha Bathing Festival are extremely complicated,

First, greet the Buddha statue.On the day of the Buddha's birthday, the monks put on their clothes and go to the hall, and stand in groups according to the order of east and west.After hearing the sound of the chime and prostrating three times, the six people went out to greet the Buddha statue.The second citing ceremony holds the citing chime, the second deacon holds the incense plate, and the presiding monk resides behind, accompanied by attendants, who sing "Namo Master Sakyamuni Buddha" together.The statue of Buddha was greeted from the scripture tower to the main hall. The main Dharma monk offered incense, displayed utensils, and prostrated three times. The public sang praises together: "Jisou took refuge in Dajue Zun, supremely capable of benevolence, and watched all beings suffer hardships. The lower pocket led to the heavenly palace, The traces of the imperial palace, the cultivation of causes in the snowy mountains. The top of the magpie's nest, three layers of fortifications, six years of asceticism. If a person takes refuge in the Great Enlightened One, he will not fall into perdition."

Second, sit down and take a bath.The bells and drums of the main hall sounded together, and the chief monk placed the Buddha statue in a golden basin, and then offered incense, displayed the utensils, and bowed three times or nine times to the Buddha.The public recited the "Bath Mantra" together, called "Nan Wuxiang Yungai Bodhisattva" three times, and then sang praises: "The Bodhisattva descended from the clouds and was born in the Jingfan Palace. Maya gave birth to a golden boy on his right side, and the heavenly music played the sky. Looking around Seven steps, pointing to the heavens and the earth to respect the hero. Nine dragons spit water to bathe in kindness, and ten thousand dharmas are in the middle."

Third, consecrate the Buddha.The chief Dharma monk heard the sound of the chime, prostrated three times, and respectfully said praises.The crowd sang "Praise of the Buddha's Treasure" together, and then sang "Praise of the Buddha": "Praise of the Buddha's treasure is endless, and he has achieved countless kalpas. The towering six-purple golden face is like a snow-capped mountain. Fainted. Longhua Sanhui would like to meet again and give a lecture on the true teachings." Sing again: "There is nothing like a Buddha in the sky and in the world, and the world in the ten directions is also incomparable. I have seen everything in the world, and there is nothing like a Buddha." After singing, he began to circle around the Buddha. Circumambulate the Buddha and chant: "Namo Saha World Teacher of the Three Realms, Father of the Four Births, Lord of Humanity and Heaven, and Three Types of Incarnations, Master Sakyamuni Buddha!" ​​"Namo Master Sakyamuni Buddha."

Fourth, take refuge.After circumambulating the Buddha, return to the original position, first recite the "Hui Xiang Wen": "May the three obstacles and troubles be eliminated, may the wisdom be clear; universally wish that the sins and obstacles will be eliminated, and the Bodhisattva way will always be practiced." Then sing "Three Refugees": "Self-refuge Buddha, you should wish all living beings to comprehend the Dao and arouse the supreme mind. If you take refuge in the Dharma, you should wish that all living beings will go deep into the scriptures and have wisdom like the sea. If you take refuge in the Sangha, you should wish that all living beings will rule the public and everything will be free from hindrances.” At the consummation of the merits and virtues of the meeting, the chime sounded, and the crowd sang in unison: "The merits and virtues of bathing the Buddha are extraordinary, and all the boundless blessings are returned."

Everything came to a successful conclusion. The emperor and the concubine followed Master Mingjing and recited the Buddha Bathing Mantra:
Om Disha Disha Sangha Saha

bathing buddha verse

I am now bathing the Tathagata, gathering pure wisdom and adorned merits and virtues.

All living beings of the five turbidities will be freed from defilements, and they will also witness the pure dharmakaya of the Tathagata.

After the Buddhist meeting was over, the emperor held a feast.Everyone gathered together, the emperor got excited on the spur of the moment, and said: "Master Mingjing, my Gao Jieyu is also a person who devotes herself to worshiping the Buddha, and the Buddha sings very well! Why don't you ask Master Mingjing to give me some advice?" Master Mingjing nodded with a smile, and Gao Jieyu hurriedly Going out and singing a Buddhist song, Gao Qingxue had been prepared for a long time, and what she sang was the bathing Buddha song:
Complimenting the past 3000 years, the flowers compete for beauty in the April sky; the lion roars in Lumbini Garden, and I am the first in the world of Datong.The birth of the five kingdoms is due to fate, who is equal in wealth and glory; go to the mountains to practice alone, and realize true Zen under the bodhi tree.The Saha world is vast and boundless, and the convenient door is opened to hold a Dharma banquet; the great compassion is endless, and the preaching is random trillions of times.Before taking refuge and paying homage to the World Honored One, I feel that the sun and the moon are fresh in the branches and stars;

After singing a song, Master Mingjing praised: "Good! It's really good! It seems that this lady knows the deep meaning of bathing Buddha! Bathing Buddha is to use the external Buddha to cleanse our inner dirt and let the self-nature show. , to witness the pure dharma body of the Tathagata. In addition to remembering the Buddha, it is necessary for us to purify our hearts and use the merits of bathing in the Buddha to save our parents, relatives and relatives who have grieved for many eons from misfortune, and to make all living beings in the six realms of the Dharma Realm escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Today's people's hearts In ancient times, usually our body can be washed with water when it is dirty, and our clothes can also be washed with water; but the filth and darkness of the human heart must be washed with the water of the Buddha's Dharma. Our soul. Bathing the Buddha reminds us to keep a pure heart at all times, and observe whether our hearts are pure through the Buddha Bathing Festival. If we can do this, we will understand the deep meaning of Bathing Buddha!"

The emperor took it very seriously, and said: "After listening to what the master said, I suddenly became enlightened!" After speaking, he looked at Gao Qingxue with a smile.

Gao Qingxue was very proud, she sat down with a smile, gently picked up the teacup at hand, but it was empty, Gao Qingxue sang this song for a long time, she was very thirsty, not thinking that there was no water in her cup, she couldn't help being a little unhappy, she turned her head After seeing it, he ordered his maid to make tea.

Yang Yu said with a smile: "I heard that the holy water of bathing Buddha is the most holy thing. Drinking it not only strengthens the body, but also cleanses the soul. I wonder if it is true?"

Master Mingjing laughed and said, "That's right! What Lady Zhaoyuan said is very true. The folks and the common people regard the holy water of bathing Buddha as the holy medicine for begging a child. It is said that it is very effective!" Master Mingjing's words touched the heart of a kind of concubine There were ripples, and everyone was eager to try.

The emperor was also a little moved, so he ordered people to bring up the holy water for bathing Buddha for everyone to enjoy.

The way to bathe the Buddha is to place a small bathing pavilion in front of the temple, inside the pavilion is a small statue of Sakyamuni, and next to it store Buddha water for bathing. Buddha, the little eunuch caught it from the side.

The little eunuch in charge is Chang Man!He respectfully served the holy water to all the concubines, and everyone happily drank the holy water.When it was brought to Gao Qingxue, she was already extremely thirsty, so she drank it in one gulp, feeling very refreshed.Chang Man smiled and took it away.

Looking at all this, Yang Yu couldn't help sneering, the fun is about to begin!

The emperor was very excited, and said: "Gao Jieyu! Why don't you sing a song!" Gao Qingxue was very happy and was about to stand up when suddenly she felt a cramping pain in her stomach. , let out a few loud farts!

Xiao Zi who was sitting in Gao Qingxue hurriedly covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, the other concubines couldn't help laughing, but the concubine frowned deeply, Gao Qingxue blushed, she didn't know what to do with shame.The emperor's face changed, and he was about to get angry, but Yang Yu smiled and said, "Gao Jieyu may have eaten too much breakfast, why don't you call the imperial doctor to have a look?" Severe pain, and let out a few loud farts.Concubine Wang looked concerned: "Gao Jieyu, let the imperial doctor take a look!"

Concubine Guo Shu said with a smile: "The emperor should order Gao Jieyu to step down. Seeing how hard Gao Jieyu has endured, it would be bad if this grand event of bathing Buddha is defiled!" The emperor lost face in front of Master Mingjing and couldn't help being furious : "High-definition Xue Yuqian loses her dignity and doesn't back down!"

Gao Qingxue was ashamed, ashamed and wronged, but couldn't stop the pain in her stomach, and was afraid of making a fool of herself again, so she hurriedly left with hatred!

The concubine sneered: "The Ai family thought this Gao Gaoxue was a bit of aloofness, it turned out to be so vulgar! During this Buddha Bathing Festival, everyone is fasting, but she is lucky to have such a virtue!"

The emperor was even more annoyed that his concubine was so ashamed, and it was still on the Buddha's birthday.Yang Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. This holy water is a holy thing, but it only cleans Gao Jieyu's body and makes the filth invisible!"

The emperor was amused: "It's still Yu'er who can talk, but it seems that Gao Jieyu is covered in filth! It really ruined my mood!"

Xiao Zi stood up, "If the emperor doesn't give up, would the courtiers also be willing to sing a song?" "Oh? You can also sing Buddhist songs?" The emperor asked in surprise.

"The concubine was born in a karaoke workshop and can sing all kinds of songs. It's just that Gao Jieyu is proud of it. The concubine doesn't want to take away the glory!"
