After eating all the food on the table, Fakong could see that Qin Shushu was quite puzzled, so he spoke immediately.

"Benefactor Qin, I think you must be very curious about what the little monk did just now, right?"

Qin Shushu nodded.

"Indeed..."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Fakong's face.

"When I was practicing in Shaolin, I met an old layman. His life was simple and simple. He ate one meal a day and one meal in the middle of the day. He has insisted on it for decades, and he is stricter than the general noon."

"If a student invites him to dinner at night, he will go too. Not only will he go, but he will often take me there too. I have noon, I don't eat at night, and I have lunch at noon in the morning. At first, I found it very difficult! The old layman knew that I had noon, How could you drag me there?"

"He said, come with me, follow me. He also told me, you are a Hinayana person with this attitude, you can't save sentient beings! Why? Save sentient beings to make all sentient beings happy, isn't that Breaking the precepts is called breaking the precepts."

"I just realized that there is such a thing as opening the precepts. He said, if someone invites you with good intentions, if you don't go, it will make people misunderstand that you are unreasonable. Not only can he not accept Buddhism, but he also preaches that people who learn Buddhism Look down on people, you are arrogant, don’t associate with people who study Buddhism. Look! Isn’t this called karma!”

"So he said that this is not breaking the fast, not breaking the precepts, but breaking the precepts. It is to make all sentient beings happy, and to save all living beings in resignation. When we arrived at the venue, the host said, I don't know the teacher is holding the afternoon. I am sorry today. Go, he was even more moved. If you want to eat at night, it would be a breach of the precept to ask others to treat you to dinner. People don’t know about lunch, so please be respectful and respectful, and this is the time to go.”

"From this, we can see that the precepts of the Buddhist school are really lively and at ease. This is what my old layman taught me.

"I knew a benefactor in my early years. He and two friends were chased by the Japanese when he was in Nanjing during the Anti-Japanese War. They fled to a temple outside the Zhonghua Gate. The monks in the temple rescued the three of them, and they were not chased by the Japanese. Catch and kill."

"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they returned to Nanjing, thinking of the old monk's life-saving grace, and wanted to repay the monk. So in the Nanjing restaurant, a very rich banquet was prepared, and the old monk was invited to serve. The old monk came, At first glance, chicken, duck, fish, and meat are really rich!"

"At this time they suddenly thought, oh! The monks are vegetarians, what should we do? Why didn't we think of having a vegetarian banquet! Today we want to repay the old man for saving his life. What should we do if we have such a table?"

"In the end, the old monk was very compassionate. He raised his chopsticks and said, OK! Everyone sit down. The banquet started, and he ate with his chopsticks. This moved them very much. Did the old monk break his fast? No! This It is compassion as the foundation and convenience as the door in Buddhism."

"The Bodhisattva in the Four-Take Dharma makes all sentient beings happy. Because they are not intentionally playing tricks on others, they are truly sincerely repaying their kindness. The Master is also very grateful to them. It is not surprising that there is no one in the public who is not moved. This is the Bodhisattva's acceptance. One method for all."

"If the old monk faces each other with an angry face, he will cut off the opportunity of others to learn Buddhism, but the master has great wisdom and just uses this opportunity to attract sentient beings. The Dharma is so convenient and harmonious, which is the most precious and precious Mahayana Dharma. .”

The restaurant owner was stunned.

"During the Anti-Japanese War... You monk, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are!"
