Chapter 29: Unobtainable and Lost Stories in Buddhist Sutras

Ruochen, who was immersed in happiness at this time, happened to see such a story. It was a story in Buddhist scriptures, which was later interpreted into modern vernacular. Feel suddenly enlightened.

The name of the story is The Spider and the Manna:
Once upon a time, there was a Yuanyin Temple where many people worshiped Buddha every day, and the incense was very prosperous.On the beam in front of Yuanyin Temple, there is a spider with a web. Because of the influence of incense and devout worship every day, the spider has Buddha nature.After more than 1000 years of practice, the Spider Spider's Buddha nature has increased a lot.

Suddenly one day, the Lord Buddha visited Yuanyin Temple and was very happy to see that there was a lot of incense here.

When leaving the temple, he raised his head easily and saw the spider on the beam.The Lord Buddha stopped and asked the spider: "You and I are finally destined to meet each other. Let me ask you a question to see what insights you have gained from practicing for more than 1000 years. How is it?"

The spider was very happy to meet Lord Buddha, so he agreed quickly.The Lord Buddha asked: "What do you say is the most precious in the world?"

The spider thought for a while and replied: "The most precious things in the world are 'unobtainable' and 'lost'."

Lord Buddha nodded without saying a word, and then left.

In this way, another 1000 years have passed, and the spider is still practicing on the beam of Yuanyin Temple, and its Buddha nature has greatly increased.

One day, Lord Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider, "Spider, are you okay? Do you have a deeper understanding of the question 1000 years ago?"

The spider said: "I think the most precious things in the world are 'unobtainable' and 'lost'."

Lord Buddha said: "If you think about it again, I will come to you again."

After another 1000 years, one day, a strong wind blew up, and the wind blew a drop of nectar onto the spider's web.

The spider looked at the sweet dew, and saw it was shining brilliantly, very beautiful, and instantly fell in love with it.The spider is very happy looking at the nectar every day, and it thinks this is the happiest few days in 3000 years.

A few days later, suddenly, they have whipped up strong winds, swept away the dew.The spider felt that what had been lost all of a sudden, was very lonely and sad.

At this time, the Lord Buddha came again and asked the spider: "Spider, in the past 1000 years, you have thought about this question carefully: what is the most precious in the world?" The most important thing is 'can't get' and 'lost'."

The Lord Buddha said: "Okay, since you still know this way, I will let you go to the world for a while."

In this way, the spider was reborn into a family of officials and became a rich lady. Her parents named her Spider.In a flash, the spider was 16 years old, and she became a graceful girl, who was charming and very beautiful.

On this day, Sergeant Lang Ganlu, the new top scholar, the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet for him in the back garden.Many young girls came, including Zhu'er, and the emperor's little princess, Princess Changfeng.

Zhuangyuan Lang performed poems and songs during the banquet, showing off his talents, and all the girls present were overwhelmed by him.But the spider was not nervous or jealous at all, because she knew that this was the marriage bestowed on her by the Lord Buddha.

after some days,nhl jerseys, to say very clever, Zhu Er Buddhist temple, accompanied by her mother when the deer are just willing to come, accompanied by her mother.After worshiping the Buddha, the two elders talked on the sidelines.Zhu'er and Ganlu came to chat in the corridor, Zhu'er was very happy, and finally could be with the person he liked, but Ganlu didn't show his love for her.

Zhu'er said to Gan Lu: "Don't you remember what happened on the spider web in Yuanyin Temple 16 years ago?" Gan Lu was very surprised and said: "Miss Zhu'er, you are beautiful and lovable, but You have a richer imagination." After saying that, he politely said goodbye and left with his mother.

The spider son got home and thought, since the Lord Buddha arranged this marriage, why didn't he let him remember that matter, why didn't Ganlu feel a little bit about me?

A few days later, the emperor issued a summons and ordered the new subject champion Ganlu to marry Princess Changfeng; Zhu Er and Prince Zhicao to marry.

This news was to tarantula son as a sky, she could think thunderbolt is different, so the Lord Buddha was to her.For a few days, she would not eat or drink, and was anxious and anxious. Her soul was about to be hatched, and her life was at stake.

Prince Zhicao knew about it, and rushed over, threw himself on the bedside, and said to the dying spider: "That day, among the girls in the back garden, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I begged my father, and he agreed. If you If I die, then I will not live." Then he picked up the sword and prepared to kill himself.

At this moment, the Lord Buddha came, and he said to the spider soul who was about to hatch: "Spider, have you ever thought about who brought the nectar (sweet deer) to you? Princess Feng) brought it, and finally the wind took it away. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng, and he is just an episode in your life to you. Prince Zhicao is a small tree in front of Yuanyin Temple. Grass, he has watched you for 3000 years and admired you for 3000 years, but you have never looked down at it. Spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious in the world?"

After the spider heard these truths, she seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden. She said to the Lord Buddha: "Lord Buddha, I now understand that the most precious thing in the world is not 'unobtainable' and 'lost', but what can be grasped now." Happiness." As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord Buddha left, and the spider's soul also returned to its place. When she opened her eyes, she saw the prince Zhicao who was about to commit suicide. She immediately threw down the sword and hugged the prince deeply... …

Ruochen was deeply shocked after reading this story. Isn't this a portrayal of her, Xiao J and Ye Liang?She is the spider, Xiao J is the nectar brought by the wind, and Ye Liang is the grass that adores her!Ruochen felt that this was inspired by God in the dark. Fortunately, she had chosen the grass that had loved her for 3000 years in her previous life---Ye Liang, and decided to use her life's infatuation to repay the once silent love. That little grass that I admired her!
It's just that this old story, when Ruochen saw it again many years later, he saw different feelings and different thoughts. It turned out that she was nothing, and everything was just a misunderstanding.

It's meaningless to pursue what you can't get, and what you have lost is already far away from you. Everything in front of you, including yourself and your relatives, is what we need to grasp and cherish.
