The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1228 Buddha Is Everywhere

"They can do all these things. These children are quite pitiful. If this little stone hadn't met us, they would have nothing to do in this life. There are so many people like this. Although we can't help everyone, as long as we We have to take care of it when we see it, although we can't take care of everyone we want, but if we don't do it, there will only be more and more poor children."

What Wanwan used was later thinking, although she couldn't cover everyone, she could at least take care of everyone under her nose.

"I also agree with my sister's proposal, but this is not Da Song. We will be tied up when we do things, and we may be suspected. This kind of knowledge is not easy to do."

Zhao Mengru has such a worry, which is also very normal. If we set up an orphanage here, doesn't that mean that we are from Song Dynasty, and how can we keep it secret.

"You two don't need to quarrel, these trivial matters, do you still need to be embarrassed here? If you want to do something good, you should find Jiang Zheng. He is a famous person in Jinling now. If you don't ask him for these things, who else will you turn to? He will come forward. No one went back to doubt, I think Jiang Zheng is still teaching Buddhism to Li Yu in the palace."

Zhao Xu made a lot of judgments. Jiang Zheng was staying in the palace, especially when Zhou Ehuang was ill. Li Yu was thinking of letting him preside over a puja to pray for Zhou Ehuang. How could he let him go? Li Yu was also very upset. Piously ask him about relevant Buddhist principles.

In fact, Li Yu's belief in Buddhism can be clearly recognized from his name. , because his name is inseparable from Buddha.Li Yu, originally named Congjia, with the word Chongguang, has the titles of Zhongyin, Zhongshan Hermit, Zhongfeng Hermit, Zhongfeng Hermit, Zhongfeng Bailian Lay, and Lianfeng Lay.These titles are not only found in the records of history books, but also preserved in the Danqing inscriptions of the later masters. ?Li Yu was born in an emperor's family who loves pagodas.Li Min, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, the master of the middle, both believed in Buddhism, which had a profound and strong impact on Li Yu's Buddhist beliefs, so Li Yu respected Jiang Zheng very much.

"Master, I have always believed in Buddhism, but why do I feel that it is useless, let alone my country is being bullied, and even my wife is seriously ill now, what is the use of my belief in Buddhism?"

Li Yu also had doubts about believing in the Buddha. He believed in the Buddha and didn't get any benefits. They all said that the Buddha blesses me. Why didn't I see the Buddha bless me?

Yes, I have been worshiping the Buddha for so long, why haven't I seen the Buddha bless me? Is it because the Buddha doesn't work? I guess that's what Li Yu thinks in his heart now.

"Amitabha, please forgive the poor monk for speaking bluntly. Whether you believe it or not depends on one heart. Whether you are spiritual or not, it depends on what you think, the lord. There is also a question that the poor monk wants to ask His Majesty, that is, to meditate alone every day. Can he become a Buddha?" Jiang Zheng's answer was very clear, but he asked Li Yu a question, that is, can he become a Buddha by meditating every day?

"Maybe there is, but I haven't seen it yet. You can become a Buddha by meditating every day." Li Yu is also not sure. He actually doesn't believe in these things, but these things really exist. Many monks meditate every day. I recite scriptures, but I have never heard of anyone who has become a Buddha.

"Then the lord knows why they still meditate all day long. Since they haven't heard of anyone who can become a Buddha, I don't know if the lord has thought about this question. Can you give the poor monk an answer?" Jiang Zheng continued to ask .

Yes, since I haven't heard that monks can become Buddhas through meditation, why do they still meditate here? Li Yu really didn't think about it before. If Jiang Zheng mentioned it here, Li Yu wouldn't think about it. These are considered to be taken for granted, who would think so.

"I really haven't thought about these things seriously. Aren't these things very normal? What's so strange about it? I really can't tell you why you insist on me saying something. "

Some things seem very simple to us, and we often see them. If we have to tell the truth about them, we really can’t tell them. I think everyone has a deep understanding of these things.

"Presumably the lord of the country is very puzzled like many people. What we monks do all day is useless, right? We chant Amitabha all day long, but it has no effect at all. Many people will Think so, but you don’t know what is the purpose of our doing these things?”

"I don't know what the master's opinion is? I also want to hear the master's thoughts." Li Yu became interested when he heard this, and he got closer to Jiang Zheng.

"My lord, in fact, we do not meditate to become a Buddha. We also know that we cannot become a Buddha by meditating. We do it for ourselves to be able to calm down during the meditation process and abandon the interference of the outside world. It is precisely because of this that Bodhidharma faced the wall. After such a long time, at this time we have realized many Buddhist principles and taught the world."

"Just now the lord said that you believe in Buddhism. Why didn't the Buddha bless you? The poor monk is going to ask you. In the process of praying to the Buddha, do you really believe in the Buddha in your heart?"

Do you really believe in the existence of Buddha in the process of praying? Maybe you are just looking for a spiritual comfort for yourself. This is the most important thing.

Li Yu was stunned, when did he give everything to the Buddha when he worshiped Buddha?No, absolutely not, he knew that he came to Buddha to a large extent to find a comfort for himself.

"So the Lord Buddha does not exist, and its advantages are everywhere. It exists around us all the time. There is a Buddha in our hearts, and there are Buddhas everywhere. Flowers, plants and trees are all Buddhas. Do you understand, Lord?"

After Jiang Zheng finished speaking, he proclaimed a Buddha's name, and then he stopped talking. He probably didn't quite understand what he said, so it would be strange if Li Yu could understand it!Sure enough, Li Yu was contemplating, and this was a little too profound. He really couldn't understand these words. The eminent monks, even the eminent monks, said that ordinary people could not understand them.

"Master Buddhist Dharma eminent monk, I am far behind. Master is really the number one eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty. I admire him. I decided to donate 1 taels of sesame oil money to your temple. It can be regarded as a true respect for Buddha."

Just because Li Yu didn't understand what Jiang Zheng said, he directly thought that Jiang Zheng was the real master, and he was going to donate sesame oil money to Jiang Zheng. This is too nonsense, and Jiang Zheng laughed in his heart.

"I'm talking nonsense here, you don't even understand, don't say you don't understand, even I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm fooling you, it seems that what you said is right, as long as you talk nonsense, others will think you have knowledge."

If Li Yu could hear Jiang Zheng's heart at this time, he would already want to swallow Jiang Zheng alive.
