Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Zhiren was still very happy to see the two little friends. His beard was even whiter, and even his eyebrows began to turn white, and his eyes became more and more kind.

Seeing the two little friends, the three of them sat together and talked and discussed the scriptures. Knowing that Bai Shan was on holiday at this time, he generously gave Bai Shan the Buddha string that had been turning in his hand. good.

Bai Shan was surprised, did not answer, and declined, "This string of Buddha beads seems to be the old thing of the master, how can I get it?"

Zhi Ren smiled and said: "For a poor monk, if there is a Buddha in his heart, whatever kind of beads he holds in his hand is the same, but for the world, this string of beads has been held by the poor monk for decades, and it still has some value. Yes. The little friend is not a layman, but the poor monk wants to send some common things at this moment."

Bai Shan couldn't help but glance at Man Bao, then took it with both hands, thanking Master Zhiren.

Jienhan brought the tea over, put it down, and bowed to the two of them, turning a blind eye to Zhiren's gift-giving behavior.

But other monks in the temple were not so calm.

This string of beads in Zhiren's hand has been held for many years, and in the words of the monks, it is contaminated with Buddha nature.

I don't know how many people want to ask for wisdom and patience. No, it is one of the beads.

Who would have thought that Master Zhiren would send it out so easily? Do not blink.

Bai Shan received the gift from Master Zhi Ren, but he was more enthusiastic towards Master Jie Yan, "Master, I'm not good enough to learn some moves, I want to ask for another lesson."

Master Zhiren said with a smile: "Let's go and learn from each other, I will play chess with Zhou Xiaoyou and talk."

Zhou Man actually didn't want to talk to Master Zhiren about playing chess. She couldn't beat the opponent at chess, so it was boring.

She even wanted to see Bai Shan and Master Jie Yan discuss and teach, but Master Zhi Ren invited them, and it was not good to always refuse. Man Bao could only watch them leave.

Then she immediately took out the chessboard and pieces, intending to make a quick decision.

Master Chi-Nin who prefers to play chess slowly:  …

He shook his head helplessly, and asked with a smile, "Master Zhou's temperament is still a little impatient, and His Majesty didn't ask you to practice your temperament?"

"No," Man Bao said, "Your Majesty should think I have a good temperament."

She felt that the emperor's temper was much more anxious than her.

Master Zhiren smiled, and without wasting any time, he raised his hand and asked her to go first.

Man Bao was also welcome, pinched a chess piece and dropped it.

The moves are quite well-behaved and well-behaved. Master Zhi Ren smiled. He has seen Zhou Man and Bai Shan play chess. When the two of them play chess by themselves, they really have all kinds of tricks. When they are in the Western Regions, they get bored. , directly took out the pen and paper, tried all kinds of weird tricks and recorded them.

Master Zhiren smiled at her, played chess slowly, and used chess to hone her, unaffected by her impatience at all.

Man Bao played the game of chess with great openness and speed, but Master Zhiren didn't win, instead he moved slowly and surrounded her pieces in the middle, but he always left her a few ways to survive. You can't even pretend to be invisible.

Man Bao scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, so he could only continue to play, and the two of them picked up a lot of chess pieces. Man Bao's heart gradually calmed down and began to take the chess game seriously.

Seeing that her mind had calmed down, Master Zhiren smiled and began to become serious.

"Master Zhou, I heard that the Imperial Physician's Office is going to set up medical offices in various places?"

Man Bao smiled and said: "Master is very well informed, this matter has not been decided yet, it is just taken to the court to discuss it."

Master Zhiren smiled and said to Zhou Man, "There has always been a tradition of making porridge and medicine in various temples. If the Imperial Physician Office wants to add a local medical office, it may be possible to cooperate with local temples."

Man Bao asked, "Is this what the master meant?"

Master Zhiren sighed and said, "The original intention of Huguo Temple is to spread Buddhism and lead people to be kind."

Man Bao smiled and said: "The court also talks about kindness, but I think that there is justice and legality before goodness. Only by governing the country with the rule of law can the world be peaceful for a long time."

And if the principles of the law are used, then religion can no longer be mixed. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, the teachings of the two sects are actually in line with the times.

Man Bao directly rejected Master Zhiren.

Master Zhiren said: "If the Imperial Physician Office needs help in the future, just speak to Huguo Temple."

The Imperial Physician Department is different from other departments. It mainly treats diseases and saves people, so Huguo Temple wants to cooperate with them.

But Zhou Man didn't want to cooperate with them.

Although in some places, the influence of Buddhist temples may be greater than that of the imperial court, Manbao is not afraid. Now the country is stable and the treasury is poor, but it is not empty.

She didn't want to bury more troubles in the future because of her impatience.

At the end of a chess game, Man Bao lost without any suspense, so she was very happy to go to see Master Jie Yan to instruct Bai Shan.

Master Zhiren was actually a little confused. He and Zhou Man went to see Bai Shan practicing martial arts together. He always wondered in his heart why Zhou Man was so wary of Buddhist temples?

The same is true for Bai Shan. It's just fine when they talk about scriptures. As long as it involves joining the WTO and political affairs, the two of them become sharp in an instant.

Looking back at the history, Master Zhiren sighed slightly, and after sending Bai Shan and Zhou Man away, he asked Jiehan to invite the host of Huguo Temple. He said, "The Imperial Physician's Office has rejected your cooperation."

The host should have expected it, nodded and said: "Then we will make porridge and medicine by ourselves."

Zhiren said: "In terms of medical skills, the monks in the temple cannot be compared with the doctors trained by the Imperial Physician Department." "But the believers will trust the monks in the temple more," the host said: "And the imperial court may not be willing to spend too much on ordinary people. Money and medicine."

Zhi Ren sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "I am a wise man today, and the Xiao Yuan, who is now in charge of the Imperial Physician's Office, is not a greedy and incompetent person."

He said: "The country is good, the people of the world are good, the Buddha is merciful, and the believers will have a better life."

The host leaves.

Zhiren watched silently, then raised his head to look at Jie Yan, who was standing quietly beside him, and sighed: "Master thinks that even if I can't understand the truth of this world, it will be more thorough than most people, but now I look at you, the host, senior brother. The cognitive difference between Zhou Man and Bai Shan has created a lot of doubts for the teacher."

Jie Yan didn't understand, "Master has already escaped from the world, why did he suddenly let his heart ups and downs in the world?"

Zhiren said: "Bai Shan is right, what Buddhism wants is to join the world, I practice Buddhism, study Buddhist scriptures, and translate the meaning of Buddhist scriptures into preaching, preaching is entering the world. When it is reached, how can it be detached?”

Zhiren smiled and said: "But the truth of this world is unreasonable. He said that the Buddhist school wants to enter the world, but he does not want to rule the people to believe in Buddhism. He thinks that both Buddha and Dao deceive the mind and are not conducive to the enlightenment of the court. Can’t the Dao enlighten the people?”

Jie Yan: ... my head hurts. I feel that the warrior monk is the easiest, and the fight is the most enjoyable. Why don't Bai Shan come to ask him about martial arts and be gentle with him next time?

Me: it's really a headache

See you tomorrow
