Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 704 Identification
Regardless of foreign countries, domestic, mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, many people will become interested in gods and gods after they become famous, and they will become interested in gods and gods, and then make friends with some mysterious people.

It involves a wide range and spans a long time, and it cannot be explained simply by "superstition".

It can only be said that there are some unknown keys or secrets in this.

Father Chen was born in a rural area, and his education level is not high, but he has no interest in Shinto.

Although he did not make friends, he still knew several leading figures in the local religious circles.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about some occasions such as the government's cultural and economic promotion associations. It is impossible for them, the leading figures in different fields, to meet, and not once or twice.

But if you meet a lot, at least you will be a "nodding acquaintance".

No incense was lit at night, Father Chen did not suffer from insomnia, he just tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep, as if the incense he lit two days ago was still having an effect on him.

But in the morning, he woke up very early.

It's only three o'clock and I woke up!

Can't sleep.

After finally waiting until half past eight in the morning, he drove himself to the Mingde Temple in the city. Of course, he brought the incense, the last one left.

Master Mingkong, the abbot of Mingde Temple, is his nodding acquaintance.

It is common sense that temples often burn incense.

Common sense in Father Chen's mind.

So he wanted to ask the great monk, what is the origin of this incense, maybe the other party will know, or at least have a general range.

As long as there is a little bit of information, with his energy, entrusting some people, and spending some money, it is impossible not to get this incense.

I went out at 08:30, and when I arrived at Mingde Temple, it was almost [-]:[-].Get out of the car and take a walk, it's nine o'clock, and this is also the normal time for social activities in the morning.

Father Chen simply didn't want to delay even 10 minutes!

Entering the temple with a name, Master Mingkong quickly greeted him with big strides, and then the host and guest accompanied each other into the quiet room.

The two had no relationship before, so the visit at this time must be "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", so Master Mingkong skipped the steps of the reception room, but directly brought people into the quiet room.

Sure enough, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Father Chen took out a box from his handbag, and said, "Master, I have a piece of incense here, and I would like you to identify it."

"Is it incense sticks? To tell you the truth, lay monks, this poor monk has little knowledge about such things...know...know..."

When Father Chen took out the box, Master Mingkong began to speak.

And when the box was opened and Father Chen held the last stick of incense in his hand, Master Mingkong suddenly felt like a computer crashed.

Is that incense?

Sawdust?
As soon as that crystal clear translucent texture came into view, Master Ming Kong realized something was wrong.

Regarding spices, Father Chen's family were all laymen, and even Chen Hao didn't know much about spices, but Master Ming Kong was different.

As he himself said just now, he has little knowledge about such things, no, it should be said that he is quite knowledgeable!

In fact, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, incense is burned on many occasions.

They not only order it themselves, but also let the worshipers order it.

Seriously, this is a very important ceremony.

Before burning incense, pay attention to washing your hands, and pay attention to washing your hands. When you wash your hands, use all kinds of soap, shower gel, etc. The purpose is not only to let you wash your hands clean, but also to let you You develop a sense of gravitas.

At the same time, it also allows you to eliminate distracting thoughts step by step during the fixed program process.

Finally, in a simple but solemn situation, light the incense and let the special fragrance permeate the quiet space.

This process can also be called "positive one".

Putting aside distracting thoughts is called "righteousness", and making the mind concentrate is called "oneness".

This in itself is a means of assisting practice. Some beginners, or believers, do not know what practice is, but through this method, meditation and meditation can also achieve a kind of general practice after a long time. Effect.

For example, the body becomes better and the mind becomes clearer.

This is not falsehood, nor is it any exaggeration.

The body is like this, as long as you treat it a little better, it can give you a lot of feedback.

Of course, the fact is that, under normal circumstances, people are very busy. They are very busy, 24 hours a day. It's also impossible.

I don't have this awareness.

No such concept.

As the abbot of a well-known temple, it is impossible for Master Mingkong not to deal with incense, but secretly, as a real "hinayana practitioner", he has a unique understanding of various incense.

Among other things, Master Mingkong himself knows how to make incense, and he makes several kinds of incense all year round.

For himself and a few close people around him.

It is no exaggeration to say that with his level, knowledge and practical accumulation, he can even write a small book of "Miscellaneous Talks on Making Incense".

There are more than a hundred kinds of spices that he has personally come into contact with.

But at this moment, as soon as the incense in Father Chen's hand came into his eyes, he realized something was wrong.

There is no such fragrance!

A moment later, the incense sticks came from Father Chen to Master Mingkong.

Take a look at its quality.

Master Mingkong had already observed it just now, but just now he observed it from a distance, but now he observes it closely in front of his eyes, and the more he observed it, the more startled he became.

Undoubtedly, this is not glass, glass, jade, or emerald, but it has a very similar crystal texture.

Furthermore, Master Ming Kong also rejected the possibility of plastic and other chemical additions, because the crystal is just a feeling, in fact, this incense is composed of real wood chips!Extremely fine and fine wood chips!
Second, smell its fragrance.

Then, Master Ming Kong was surprised, because this incense didn't even have the slightest smell!

fragrant?
No fragrance.

Not fragrant at all!
However, even if the incense sticks made of wood chips have no fragrance, the smell of the wood chips itself is actually very strong, and it is impossible to have them, unless it has been placed for a long time, and the smell of wood has dissipated.

But at that time, it would most likely have a rotten smell, rather than nothing at all.

And the incense in his hand at this time, how does it look like it has been left for a long time?

Even, after looking at it again, Master Mingkong actually had an illusion that what he was holding in his hand was not a stick of incense at all, but a young sapling that was alive and full of vitality!
"Oh, it really is not as good as you are old!" Master Mingkong sighed secretly in his heart.

He attributed his sudden and absurd "illusion" to a lack of energy.

Although his energy is better than quite a lot of young people, and he has just passed his sixtieth year this year.

Looking at its nature, nothing can be seen.

Second, I smelled its fragrance, but I didn't smell anything.

Three, that is tasting, the last step, but also the most critical step.

Soon, this stick of incense was lit in Master Mingkong's quiet room.
