Becoming A Monk In Tokyo

Chapter 2: Buddha as long as you are happy

   As told in thousands of stories, Baishixiu is a traveler.

   Shiraishixiu is just his name in this life.

   In the last life, he called Tian Tian.

   is not a monk, but has a relationship with Buddhism.

   had an accident in the early years of his family. Later, his parents and elders successively believed in Buddhism, and they inevitably received some Buddhist thoughts and theories during the day.

   As a young man of the new century who grew up under the red flag, he was considered an atheist during the day, and he did not believe that there were unscientific things like gods, buddhas and spiritual things in this world.

   Therefore, under the influence of the family environment in my previous life, even though I had a good impression of Buddhism's theories of persuading others to be good during the day, I believed in the theory of karma, and I was willing to do good deeds and do good deeds.

   But they don’t believe in the existence of Buddha or the so-called Western Paradise.

   But, an atheist no matter how firm.

   first encounter crossing——

   Then, on the way to school, he saw a pedestrian being pushed by a "child" while walking, and the next moment he was hit by a car.

   At the scene of the car accident, the passers-by turned a blind eye to the "child", but hurriedly called the police and called an ambulance.

   The moment when only the pale child was left standing among the crowd, showing a devilish smile...

   I'm afraid, the idea of ​​atheism will also be shaken!

   This is a parallel world, it is no longer the earth!

   Obviously, it is not impossible that there are ghosts and ghosts here, so there are gods and Buddhas.

   And it doesn’t matter if there are no gods and Buddhas.

   The Shiraishixiu of this life is an orphan picked up by the abbot of the temple for adoption, and a candidate monk trained since childhood.

   Although the temple is ruined, the old abbot is a capable person, and the Buddhist scriptures taught to Bai Shixiu from an early age contain extraordinary power.

   At that time, Shiraishixiu was angry.

   The warm power that two lives felt for the first time emerged in his body, and he overpowered that kid on the spot.

   Hell is empty, evil spirits are in the world.

   What if there are no gods and Buddhas?

   As long as you believe in your own "Buddha in your heart" and do your best to save the world from the sea of ​​suffering, this is countless merit.

  Perhaps, this is why I crossed over!

   Shiraishi Hidego.

   identified with his identity——

   With the mortal body, save the world!

   Anyway, Japanese monks don’t abstain from fishy, ​​female sexuality, no clear rules, or even shavedness...

   As long as you believe in the Buddha, even if you drink and eat meat, marry a wife and have children, or even play rock and roll, learn to drink, smoke and drink, you are a serious monk.

  From this point of view, it is also the acceptance of "Buddhism" imported from abroad. Japanese Buddhism has its own characteristics.

   For example, there was a famous saying that there was a Japanese monk who played music in the last life.

   "The Buddha does not want you to take refuge, the Buddha only wants you to be happy"

   is quite Zen.

   Therefore, the Japanese monk is just a profession.

   is not only indistinguishable from other occupations, but also part-time...

   This is also the reason why Bai Shixiu is willing to accept the status of a monk, instead of planning to return to the vulgar after graduation and find a job.

   Just, what about the good system?

   Doesn’t it mean that all those who pass through have a system?

   Especially when it comes to some special occupations.

   In order to allow the traversers to accept a certain identity, a mysterious organization will specially allocate the system, as long as they dare to leave, they will obliterate...

   Shiraishixiu is looking forward to being systematic.

   No matter what the strongest monk system, the strongest temple system, the invincible abbot system, the god-level abbot system...

   Let's use one first.

   It's a pity, not all!

   Shiraishixiu has been in this world for two years.

  The first year, study and practice.

   In the second year, I study, practice, and receive some commissions in my spare time to make money...

   Nowadays, Bai Shixiu has a small reputation as a spiritual monk.

   But the system still does not appear.

   Give up.

   As expected, it is better to ask God than to ask yourself.

   Study hard, make progress every day, practice hard, practice hard...

   Don't think about the pie in the sky, that's right.

   sighing.

   Baishixiu took the last night subway and returned to the temple, which is also the home of this life.

   Tokyo, Shibuya district.

   This is the most prosperous administrative district in the center of Tokyo, known as the 24-hour sleepless street.

   It was already more than twelve o'clock at night, and the lights were still brightly lit.

   Pedestrians are still noisy, only after walking a few blocks, the surrounding air suddenly calms down.

   What catches the eye is the huge forest shrouded in darkness against the city that never sleeps.

  It is hard to imagine that there is a lush forest covering an area of ​​70 hectares in this golden area in the center of Tokyo.

   Located in this lush forest——

   is the largest and most visited shrine in Tokyo, Meiji Jingu.

   Baishixiu walked onto the Jingong Bridge. The stone lantern at the end of the bridge was lit, and under the dim light, the long solemn stone bridge seemed like a dream.

   enviously touched the Jingong stone bridge, Shiraishixiu walked down again.

   From a very remote location, walked onto a path.

   The small road is paved with pebbles, and it is covered with late autumn leaves, making a creaking sound when stepping on it.

   There are no lights on the side of the road, and the moonlight and starlight are also blocked by the shade of the trees, and you can barely see your fingers.

   Vaguely, only the sounds of insects and birds can be heard——

   These voices will fade away gradually in late autumn.

   When this sheep intestine trail came to the end, I saw some lights vaguely.

   Shiraishixiu faced the light forward.

   I saw a small ruined temple in the lush forest.

   The stone lamp at the door lit up, and a faint light shone around.

   Under the night, a red and white wooden temple with a plaque of "Lingming Temple" hung on it, and the lights are always bright.

  The temple only enshrines one Buddha statue, Shakyamuni Buddha, the Buddha.

   The Buddha's golden body was slightly dim in the candlelight, the golden body of the robes was even a little mottled off, and the red paint on the wooden pillars was also a little bleached.

   Except for this, the whole of this small temple looks clean and tidy, with almost no dust.

   Behind the temple, along the path, among the trees is a simple wooden house.

The    wooden house is divided into two rooms, one is for the monks’ living and living, and the next door is the Buddhist scripture pavilion. UU reading www.uukanshu. The com is full of scriptures.

   is unimaginable.

   Such a shabby little temple has scriptures that need a whole room to store.

   is as unimaginable as Shiraishihide.

  Why is there such a small temple near Meiji Shrine, the biggest shrine in Tokyo?

   Including the abbot and Bai Shixiu, who is currently an alternate monk, there are only two monks in total!

   On this question, Shiraishixiu asked the abbot more than once.

   has been prevaricated.

   This also confirms Bai Shixiu’s heart that there must be a story behind this small temple——

   Is this nonsense!

   Shiraishi Hidexiu, but the truth!

  In just two years.

   Baishixiu has a good eye and can penetrate yin and yang.

   is full of mana, and ordinary ghosts can be easily reduced.

   How can a small temple hold this kind of truth?

   was filled with awe and respect for the abbot.

   Shiraishixiu washed a little, and quietly pushed open the door of the room, not wanting to disturb the abbot inside.

   But the sky failed to fulfill everyone's wish. In the dark, the abbot's old but strong voice sounded.

"came back?"

"Ok."

   "Just come back, let's rest."

"Ok."

   In a silent night, Shiraishixiu took off her shoes and lay on her bed.

   The abbot is an elderly person, sleeps lightly, and a little movement will wake him up from his sleep.

   Well, 500,000 yen is not enough.

   still need to make some money, build another bedroom next door.

   In this way, when I leave the spirit and return late, I will not disturb the abbot’s rest, and I can also have some privacy.
