Starting with Xiao Li Feidao

Chapter 89
Yuanfa Temple is the largest temple in the capital, and it is also the temple with the most incense.

On some major festivals, relatives of the royal family will come to the temple to pay homage.

Today, a benefactor came from Yuanfa Temple, which alarmed the old abbot.

The reason is quite simple, the benefactor donated 2 taels of silver.

Whoever can donate 2 taels of silver is a distinguished guest of Yuanfa Temple.And this benefactor seems to be going to become a monk in the temple, which makes people pay more attention.

This honored guest is in the Daxiong Palace, and the abbot personally received him for ordination.

The Great Hall of the Great Hero, the hall is filled with smog, and there is a big Buddha in the middle. The big Buddha's eyes are half-opened and half-closed, his eyebrows are lowered and his head is lowered, but he seems to be high above, overlooking all living beings.

The abbot of Yuanfa Temple is an old monk named Jiekong, who is wearing cassock and has gray eyebrows.

"Send Jie Dao! Cut three thousand threads of troubles" the abbot shouted, and someone immediately sent Jie Dao.

Xia Yunmo waved his hands hastily, and said, "Master, I just want to come to listen to the teachings, and just be a lay disciple."

Jiekong put down the razor, and asked solemnly: "Xia Yunmo, don't lie to the end of your life, can you hold on now?"

Xia Yunmo hesitated for a moment, he seldom tells lies, but it is very difficult for him not to tell lies.

So he replied: "No!"

Abbot Jiekong's eyebrows trembled, but he didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "Xia Yunmo, don't steal to the end of your life, can you do it now?"

steal?

Would Xia Yunmo steal?This also seems like an interesting question.Sometimes you will do things with empty hands and empty hands, even if you have no money.

There are also some delicate situations, and only this skill can be used.

Therefore, he could only answer: "No!"

Abbot Jiekong's eyebrows trembled again, more trembling than last time, but he asked again: "Xia Yunmo, do not kill to the end of your life, can you hold on now?"

Xia Yunmo replied without thinking about this question: "No."

Entering the rivers and lakes without killing?
Maybe someone could do it, but Xia Yunmo couldn't.

Abbot Jiekong didn't twitch his eyebrows this time, but he closed his eyes and said, "Xia Yunmo, you will live forever, can you hold on now?"

This seems to be nonsense again, Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "This can't be done either."

……

In the solemn hall, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, and the monks stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say for a while.

No one has ever become a monk like this, and he can't abide by any of the precepts of Buddhism.

It is true that not everyone can abide by these precepts, but now they are getting ordained, and if they cannot be obeyed, they must be obeyed.

Even if there are thoughts in my heart, I can't express them directly.

Abbot Jiekong opened his eyes at this time, and said with a sigh: "Benefactor Xia can't abide by even one of the Buddhist precepts, and it will be difficult for the poor monk to accept you into Buddhism."

Xia Yunmo smiled and said: "I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha. The Buddha does not want me to sink into the sea of ​​suffering. Today I will definitely live in Yuanfa Temple."

Abbot Jiekong just smiled wryly.

Xia Yunmo suddenly said to Abbot Jiekong by means of sound transmission, "I have a secret treasure of Buddhism, and the abbot can take a look at it."

Abbot Jiekong was also a master, so he wasn't surprised to see Xia Yunmo's tricks. He just waved away the rest of the monks, leaving only Xia Yunmo and himself.

Xia Yunmo suddenly took out the treasure of Buddhism from his bosom - a stack of bank notes.

Not much, just 2 taels.

Abbot Jiekong accepted the treasure of Buddhism, with a compassionate expression on his face, clasped his hands together, and said: "The almsgiver really has a destiny with my Buddha."

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "Master, I don't know what kind of fate is this?"

Abbot Jiekong said: "For me to cross the golden body of the Buddha, add bricks and tiles to the temple, and do good deeds for the poor in the world, there is a great destiny."

Xia Yunmo smiled and said: "I don't understand Da Yuan, I just want Master to cleanse my soul and mind so that I won't sink in the sea of ​​bitterness."

Abbot Jiekong said: "Amitabha, this poor monk will do his best."

Xia Yunmo said: "It's good, it's good."

Thus, Xia Yunmo also became a lay disciple of Buddhism.

It's just that he, a lay disciple, didn't do such menial tasks as chopping firewood and carrying water.It is more about seeing many eminent monks discussing the Dharma, and the abbot often explains the Dharma with Xia Yunmo.

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed.

On this day, Abbot Jiekong was explaining Buddhist classics to Xia Yunmo himself.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships."

Abbot Jiekong lectured on the Heart Sutra to Xia Yunmo, solemn and solemn, although not extravagant, but worthy of his title of abbot.

What's more, there are good incense in the room, which has the effect of calming the mind.

Even the most vicious and evil people should sit down quietly and listen to the Buddha's voice at this time.

But Xia Yunmo is not a vicious person, he is a man of the rivers and lakes.

He felt that the bursts of Buddhist voices were getting harsher, as if 180 flies were flying around his ears.

He decided not to listen to the buzzing of the fly anymore.

Xia Yunmo opened his eyes, there was a hint of red in the depths of his eyes, he suddenly slapped the abbot lightly with his palm.

Although he didn't use all his strength in this palm, it was extremely ferocious, and the wind of his palm filled the whole room.

The abbot Jiekong threw his wide sleeves and lightly slapped him.

As soon as the two fleshy palms came into contact, there was a muffled sound.

In an instant, the palms of the two separated again.

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "The abbot is really good at kung fu."

The abbot shook his head and said, "Benefactor Xia is the real kung fu."

Xia Yunmo said: "I have listened to the scriptures taught by the masters for more than ten days, but it seems that I still haven't really stepped into the door of Buddhism,"

The abbot said: "Although the benefactor is not very murderous, his murderous intentions are not light."

Xia Yunmo said: "Then how can I become a Buddhist disciple who is truly proficient in Buddhist principles and can save all sentient beings."

The abbot smiled wryly and said, "If the benefactor can spend ten years practicing Buddhism, it might be possible."

Xia Yunmo smiled and said, "It seems impossible."

The abbot said: "The benefactor can recite "My Buddha is merciful" three times before each killing, and think carefully about whether killing is necessary."

Xia Yunmo thought for a while and said, "This method is not bad."

Xia Yunmo still went down the mountain, the more he stayed in Yuanfa Temple, the more uncomfortable he became.

He decided to start from today, not to kill, to try to save all sentient beings with compassion.

However, he soon ran into a problem.

He was robbed again.

When going down the mountain, I passed a remote path, and suddenly seven or eight robbers doing business without capital popped out from the front and back of the path.

The one who took the lead grinned and said, "I heard that a fat sheep came to Fayuan Temple without a guard, so it must be you."

Another bandit said: "Tsk tsk, he's still a little boy, maybe he can be sold as a rabbit master."

A group of bandits smiled unscrupulously, very happy, this is a big fat sheep.

Xia Yunmo lowered his eyebrows and nodded, and said in his mouth: "My Buddha is merciful."

It is not clear whether the Buddha is merciful, but Xia Yunmo does not seem to be merciful.
