Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

At this time, in the mountain courtyard, Sister Sun watched everything happening in the Buddhist hall through the monitor, and said angrily: "Madam, this Jingqing actually wants to persuade Miss Ito to become a monk. Isn't this a serious deviation? "

An Chengqi smiled and said: "Don't worry. After Jingqing became enlightened, he had a Buddha mind. In the whole world, what he cares about most is the Buddha, the Dharma, and all living beings. And Nanako Ito is already very understanding and wise. Don't say that. Jing Qing, if she were a Taoist master, I'd probably want to accept her as my disciple. Otherwise, why do you think I want her to enlighten me? If such a genius is always lingering outside the door, it will be a waste of resources. But based on my understanding of Nanako , even if Jingqing uses seven billion people in the world to kidnap her morally, she will never agree, and you don’t have to worry."

really.

Nanako Ito subconsciously took a step back and said apologetically: "I...I already have someone I love, how can I convert to Buddhism..."

An Chengqi, who was in front of the monitor, smiled and said, "Sister Sun, have you noticed the details? Nanako called herself a disciple in front of Jing Qing before, but now she directly changed it to 'I', instantly drawing a clear line with Jing Qing."

Sister Sun nodded and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Jingqing's request, Miss Ito would have fled through the door."

At this time, Master Jingqing also realized that Ito Nanako was very wary of converting to Buddhism, so he said seriously: "Donor, love is important, but wouldn't it be more valuable if it could save all sentient beings? The Buddha said that giving up the small self can achieve the great self. Giving up small loves to achieve great loves, rescuing suffering and saving all sentient beings. This is the highest realm pursued by eminent monks and great virtues for thousands of years! Moreover, the donor also said that he is a Buddhist believer, doesn’t he want to do something for all sentient beings? What?"

Ito Nanako pursed her lips and said timidly: "All living beings have their own destiny. I am just a female, and I have no lofty ambition to save all living beings. I just want to take good care of my relatives and my sweetheart. If I can do this well, It’s already perfect.”

Master Jingqing said sadly: "In this world, there is a person with the wisdom of the donor, I am afraid that I can't find it with just one hand. If the donor successfully enlightens me, he will be able to have a deeper understanding and understanding of the Buddhist teachings spread in the world. The donor If such talents are wasted, it will be a great loss for all Buddhist disciples."

Ito Nanako shook her head and said: "I believe in Buddhism because I feel that Buddhism can make people do good and make people feel peaceful. At the same time, it can also give them more spiritual sustenance. Just like I go to a restaurant to eat, you can't force me to stay there." Want to be a chef in a restaurant?"

Master Jingqing said quickly: "Amitabha, the poor monk is not asking the donor to stay, but urging the donor to stay. The donor just used a restaurant as an analogy. Although the logic is similar, the realm and meaning are not exactly the same. A restaurant can make people full. Rice, if a good chef develops a good recipe, it can make people eat nutritious and balanced food, and even make people feel happy and sublimate their taste buds. It may also have the effect of strengthening the body, curing diseases and saving lives, but a good restaurant and a good recipe, It has no ability to save all sentient beings."

Speaking of this, Master Jingqing added: "In fact, every religion has its own classics. The reason why it has been spread and has far-reaching influence from the era of slash-and-burn farming to modern times with advanced science and technology is because of its The underlying logic is a universal value established on a people-centered basis, and it explains a deeper and more original human nature."

Having said that, Master Jingqing asked Nanako: "Donor, does he know why today, when modern technology is so advanced and productivity surpasses that of the ancients, many people still regard scriptures written thousands of years ago as beacons on the road to life?"

Ito Nanako shook her head in confusion: "I... didn't think about it carefully..."

Master Jingqing said: "Actually, the difference between ancient people and modern people is not only that the development of science and technology and the broadening of their horizons are much worse than those of today's people, but also means that the lives and thoughts of ancient people were simpler and purer, and they were closer to the origin of human beings."

"They can spend their entire lives thinking about one or two philosophical issues, and they will not be affected by today's prosperous world of materialistic desires. This makes their depth in philosophical issues far beyond that of impetuous and utilitarian modern people. .”

"This is also why all the great thinkers in the East and West appeared around 400 BC to 300 BC. In the East there are Laozi, Confucius, and Mencius, while in the West there are Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. ;"

"The birth of Buddha was one or two hundred years earlier than these Eastern and Western philosophers;"

"These wise men among the ancients were geniuses with great wisdom. When such an unparalleled genius devotes his whole life to thinking about the underlying logic of life and writes his thoughts into a book, this book becomes A true classic.”

"No matter how society develops, people are still human beings, and the more society develops, the more people's energy is dispersed. Therefore, the more society develops, the more it highlights the most profound philosophies of the ancients. This is why believers of the three major religions , have always regarded the scriptures written more than two years ago as a beacon on the road of life, and countless people have repeatedly studied the scriptures written more than two thousand years ago, just to get more inspiration from them."

Ito Nanako pursed her lips, looked down at her toes, and then looked at Master Jingqing. She thought for a long time and didn’t know what to say, so she slowly raised her thumbs up and timidly said: "Si... Si Guoyi... …”

Si Guoyi is the pronunciation of sugoi in Japanese, which roughly means: wow, so awesome.

Master Jingqing was a top student before he became a monk. In addition, he had already been enlightened and traveled around the world for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned a lot. Naturally, he can understand the Japanese meaning of Nanako Ito, a Japanese soft girl.

Thinking that she had said so much sincerely, Ito Nanako only returned one Si Guoyi. Even though she was a qualified mage, her mentality was a little unbalanced at the moment.

While trying to calm down, he recited silently: "Amitabha, sin, sin, sin..."

When An Chengqi and Sister Sun saw this scene, both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud. An Chengqi couldn't help but sigh: "She is really smart. She has been in China for so long. It is impossible for her to subconsciously speak Japanese. It must be intentional." And because of this, when you look at the scene clearly, the Buddha's heart is affected."

Sister Sun smiled and shook her head: "I don't know why, but I suddenly fell in love with Miss Ito..."

An Chengqi's eyelashes trembled slightly but said nothing.

At this time, Master Jingqing tried hard to adjust his mentality and said: "I wonder if the donor has discovered that with the continuous development of social productivity, today's human beings are getting further and further away from their origins, and their creativity in some fields has long been lost." Not as good as their predecessors, just like there are so many pianists in the world, but no one can match Chopin, Beethoven, or Tchaikovsky. Even if two hundred years pass, pianists two hundred years from now will still play their works; "

"In addition, the understanding of today's human beings is much inferior to that of the ancients. When the impetuous and utilitarian modern people go back to study the ancient classics, it is difficult for their understanding to keep up with the ancients."

"So, when many modern people look at religious scriptures from more than 2,000 years ago, their awkward and difficult words make it impossible for them to understand the truth contained in them."

"At times like this, we need people like us to put aside our emotions and go..."

Nanako Ito suddenly raised a hand and said cautiously: "Sorry to interrupt, I want to ask, the 'we' you are talking about does not include me, right?"

Master Jingqing took a breath, nodded and said, "Not included. The poor monk refers to us as all the people like the poor monk."

Ito Nanako stroked her heart and sighed after taking a long breath: "That's good, that's good... you continue..."

Master Jingqing lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly raised his head and said with some dejection: "What the poor monk wants to say is that the world needs people like the poor monk to study the Buddhist scriptures wholeheartedly and understand the meaning in them. After the mystery, use the language and methods that modern people can understand to explain the classics to them, so that they can understand, comprehend, and make the right choice before the big questions. Every religion needs the key to a similar role, the Master. , pastors, and imams all exist for this purpose. Our goals are the same through different paths, and we all hope to save all sentient beings and allow everyone to find solutions to their problems..."

When Ito Nanako heard this, she put her hands on her chin, clapped very slightly and very carefully, and said with admiration: "Suguichi..."
