Journey to the West: I am entertaining in Datang

He murmured this sentence.

Others didn't hear it, but Princess Gao Yang, who was sitting next to him, heard it.

what?

Return to vulgarity?

Princess Gaoyang knew very well that returning to the secular world originally meant that monks and nuns were expelled from the Sangha because they broke the precepts and returned to their homes to restore their status as lay people.

If, due to many personal factors, one voluntarily abandons the precepts and leaves the Sangha and returns to a layman’s home and restores the status of a layperson, it is called returning to the vulgar, also known as anti-vulgar.

He didn't say return to the vulgar, but directly said that he wanted to return to the vulgar, so he made up his mind, knowing that he violated the Buddhist beliefs and creeds, but also returned to the secular!

Just to be with the one you love!

Although returning to the vulgar also includes the meaning of returning to the vulgar, but in general, it is not a good thing!

In addition, there is another case of returning to the vulgar world: because of the activities of banning and abolishing Buddha in the past dynasties, all monks and nuns were ordered to return to the vulgar.

No matter what the situation is, Monk Bianji's years of cultivation have come to nothing!

Princess Gao Yang was very moved, she persuaded: "You have to think twice!"

Monk Bianji nodded, and said: "I once remembered that there was a monk who went down the mountain to return to secular life because he couldn't bear the loneliness of Buddhism. But within a month, he couldn't bear the world's gossip and went up the mountain again.

After staying on the mountain for less than a month, I still went because I couldn't bear the loneliness.

After doing this three times, the old monk said to him, you don't have to believe in Buddhism at all, and take off your cassock.

You don’t have to be a layman seriously, just set up a place in the gazebo between the temple and the world, how about selling tea?

This vulgar person begged for a little lady and set up a tea shop.

The old monk's guidance is right, half-way people can only do half-way things.

Therefore, in the vast sky and the vast universe, it is often difficult for people to find a free space suitable for living. Compared with many people, this monk is lucky because he has found his own position after all.

However, if I don't return to vulgarity, I will be busy running around all my life, and at the end of my life, there will still be no place to return to. "

Monk Bianji used this story to show that he had made up his mind, and Princess Gaoyang was completely moved.

With the blessings of the audience in the live broadcast room, Monk Bianji sang that touching song again.

The popularity of this event was the hottest, almost setting a new high after Princess Gaoyang started the live broadcast.

After the end, the monk Bianji went directly to his master and asked to return to vulgarity.

His master was very surprised when he heard about it, and then, after listening to the reason given by the monk Bianji, he told a story about Buddhism.

"The Buddha's disciple, Rahula, asked to return to secular life, and the Buddha said thus:

Why are many people unwilling to learn Buddhism?

It's not just that sentient beings are strong and difficult to adjust and subdue, ignorance and afflictions will confuse sentient beings' minds, and the five desires and six dusts will lead sentient beings to go astray.

Ordinary people are like you and me, and so are great Buddhas like Rahula.

When Rahula was nine years old, the Buddha sent the venerable Moggallana as an envoy to ask the King of Jingfan and the concubine Yasodhara to allow the Buddha's son Rahula to become a monk and learn Taoism.

Moggallana talked all kinds of things, but in the end it was the Buddha who let Rahula become a novice monk.

After all, he is a disciple of the Buddha, and his blessings are different from ordinary people.The Buddha asked Shariputra to personally teach the Dharma, and Moggallana to teach the precepts.

But "Luo Hui is immature, slow in learning music, too lazy to play, and not happy to listen to the Dharma. The Buddha's teachings have been ordered, but he will never use them, so he has to do something about it."

Rahula was too young, playful and arrogant, unwilling to learn Buddhism.Even if the Buddha came to exhort him, he would not listen to it, and no one could do anything against him.

Once, the Buddha said to Rahula: "Buddhas are hard to be worth in this world, and the Dharma is hard to hear. Human life is hard to protect, and it is hard to get the way. Now that you have a human body, you are worth the Buddha's life. Why do you slack off and don't listen to the Dharma?"

You can be beside the Buddha and hear the Dharma in person.How lucky is this?Why are you so strong that you don’t know the blessings when you are in the blessings?

Rahula replied: "The Buddha's teachings are exquisite, and children have rough minds. How can they listen to and accept the teachings of the World Honored One? I have heard about it many times before, and I have forgotten to search for it. It is futile and I have nothing. I am still a young man, and I am free and unrestrained. When I am old , Since I am a small servant, I am worthy of accepting the law."

The Dharma is exquisite, but my heart is rough.After listening to the Dharma, I forget it in a blink of an eye.Waste of energy in vain, no gain.

Now that I am still young, why not let me let myself go for a few years, and then come to study Buddhism when I am old enough to take on the responsibility? "

The Buddha sighed: "Everything is impermanent, and the body is also hard to protect. How can you guarantee that you can live to the day when you grow up?"

Rahula said, "Of course I can't guarantee it, but you are a Buddha, so why can't a Buddha guarantee your son's life?"

Buddha bless all living beings, can't you bless your son to live and grow up?

When Monk Bianji heard this, sweat started to break out on his forehead.

He had known for a long time that Master was eloquent and good at explaining Buddhist principles, but he didn't expect to be able to speak so well!

Chapter 1109

Glancing at the heavy-faced Bian Ji, but ignoring his concerns, his master continued to preach:

"The Buddha said something that confuses all living beings. If I can't protect myself, how can I protect you? Even if I am a Buddha, I can't do anything about everything.

Even, I can't guarantee how long I can live!

Rahula was puzzled and said: "Listening to the Dharma in vain, since you will not gain the way, how can the merit of listening to the Dharma benefit people?"

Even if you become a Buddha, you say that you cannot protect yourself. What good is there for us to learn Buddhism?The implication is that whether you learn Buddhism or not, life and death are impermanent.That being the case, why not let me go back to be my little prince and enjoy life well.

The Buddha replied: "The merit of listening to the Dharma, although you can't get the Tao in this body. The five paths are received by the body, and there are many benefits."

Practicing Buddhism may not necessarily bring you blessings in this life, but you will know the benefits of practicing Buddhism when you reincarnate in the cycle of life and death and karma and retribution.

Hearing what the Buddha said, Rahula had to give up his desire to return to secular life.

Whether it is helpless or fortunate to accept the influence of Buddhism beside the Buddha.Soon, the opportunity came, and he finally understood the profound meaning of Buddhism, broke through ignorance and troubles, and became the first disciple of the Buddha's esoteric practice.

The sentient beings who are unwilling to learn Buddhism at this time are like Rahula who was young and obstinate and wanted to return to vulgarity. As long as they are given time and opportunities, I believe that one day they will be grateful for the wisdom of the Buddha! "

After he finished speaking, looking at the resolute Bian Ji, he gently persuaded: "This is a big matter, I advise you to think twice!"

After saying that, he got up and left.

In the empty meditation room, only Bian Ji was left, staring at the towering Buddha statue in a daze.

He didn't want to give up this relationship that shouldn't be, but it was so difficult to continue.

He will follow his heart and stick to his truest thoughts!

The audience in the live broadcast room had already dispersed, but Monk Bianji's words and singing still echoed in his ears.

Princess Gaoyang fell into memory.

That year, the mischievous she couldn't stand the royal rules, and ran out of the folks secretly, but because she had no money to eat, she became the leader of a group of beggars.

A ten-year-old monk encountered a group of robbers the first time he went down the mountain for alms.

This gang of robbers was made up of half-grown children, the oldest of whom was no more than ten years old.

Each of them was wearing coarse cloth with patches, and the things they held in their hands were nothing more than bamboo poles and sticks.

The little girl in the lead is Princess Gaoyang. Her weapon is the most decent, a slingshot. The small stones she shoots hurt the most, so she is respected as the boss.

Xiao Gaoyang held a slingshot, pointed at the little monk and said, "Hey, little monk, hand over all the food on your body!"

The little monk covered the steamed buns he just begged for in his arms, and said, "I...I don't want it!"

Xiao Gaoyang wiped his nose and said, "Hmph, then don't blame us for being rude! Little ones, grab it!"

As soon as she gave an order, a group of children shouted and rushed to the little monk, who ran away.

He ran and ran into the woods at the foot of the mountain. The child behind him disappeared, but it was dark and he lost his way.

He sighed and could only wait for dawn before finding his way back to the temple.

He picked up some leaves and branches in the forest, gathered them together, and made a small fire.

The little monk was leaning against the tree, warming himself by the fire, and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard crying, probably because the group of children had chased into the woods and lost their way.

After thinking for a while, he finally stood up, picked up a torch, and followed the cry.

Not far away, he found little Gao Yang who was crying under a big tree.

"Ahem, little benefactor, don't cry."

Xiao Gaoyang wiped her tears and looked up at him, seeing that it was the young monk, she jumped up and hugged him.

"I'm lost, and it's so dark, I'm scared to death! Little monk, please take me out!"

The little monk touched his bald head and said: "Amitabha, poor monk... Poor monk is also lost, why don't you go with me to enjoy the fire, and go out together after dawn."

Xiao Gaoyang was sitting by the fire, hugging and pushing, sniffing, his face was covered with tears.

The little monk baked the steamed buns by the fire with a tree branch. He heated up the steamed buns, handed them to Xiao Gaoyang, and said, "Here, don't cry, eat quickly."

Little Gaoyang looked at the steamed buns baked in the little monk's hand, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

The little monk shook his head and said, "I've eaten." As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started growling.

The little monk's face turned red all of a sudden, and Xiao Gaoyang laughed through his tears. She took the steamed bun, broke it in half, handed the big half to the little monk, and said, "Here."

The little monk blushed and touched his head, and took the steamed buns.

The two wolfed down the steamed buns, and the little monk asked, "You...why did you rob?"

Little Gaoyang licked his lips and said: "I...we are all orphans, we can't get food, we can only steal something to eat, sometimes we can't steal, adults can't beat us, so we have to pick children. "

"That's it."

"Yes... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, hurry... go to sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow."

"Ah."

The next day, the little monk walked out of the forest with little Gaoyang.

"Let's go here, and then we will reach the temple."

"Ah."

The little monk clasped his palms together and performed a Buddhist salute to little Gaoyang, then turned and left.

"Hey, little monk!"

The little monk turned to look at her.

Little Gaoyang said with a blushing face, "In the future, when I become the head of the great village, you will...you will be my master of the village, okay?"

The little monk also blushed, scratched his head, turned around and walked away quickly.

Ten years later.

The little monk grew into a handsome monk, was selected as a monk, and traveled all over the world as a candidate for the abbot of the temple.

On this day, on the way back to the temple, he met a group of vicious robbers, who tied him back to the village without saying a word.

"Amitabha, several benefactors, the poor monk has no money, please let the poor monk go back to the temple."

The leader, Scarface, roared viciously: "Don't talk nonsense, our village chief will see you!"

Several robbers threw the monk into the main hall of the cottage, untied him, and closed the door.

The monk looked around. There were lanterns and festoons here, red lanterns and candles, maybe it was a wedding.

He was looking at it when a girl in red came over.

He quickly said: "Congratulations to the benefactor on his wedding, but the poor monk doesn't drink alcohol, and he doesn't touch meat, so he really can't attend the benefactor's wedding banquet. I hope the benefactor will be happy."

The woman stepped forward quickly, grabbed his ear and said: "Smelly monk! I haven't seen you for ten years, forget me! I heard that you are going to be an abbot!"

"You... you are."

The monk looked at the pretty girl in front of him, and suddenly recalled the crying little Gao Yang in the forest.

"Tell me, do you still want to be the abbot!"

"Don't pull it, it hurts! It hurts! It's wrong! It's wrong!"

The girl let go of his ears and said, "Then... are you still vulgar?"
