Leaves fall without flowers [Legend of Chu Liuxiang]

The Great Precept of the Three Altars is about to begin, but Ye Chen can't go after asking for it, so he's in a dilemma.

Tianhu saw that he was so anxious that he couldn't concentrate during the rehearsal, so he had no choice but to talk to him in private, "The younger brother has written a book for Chu Liuxiang, why can't the younger brother be pure?"

"...I can't let go of my heart." Ye Chen was also depressed. If he didn't know that Master attaches great importance to imparting precepts, he would have wanted to go down the mountain directly. Why did he just bump into the three great precepts?

Tianhu was silent for a while, Ye Chen, the second uncle, was much more dull than Tianfeng and Tianliu, he said slowly: "If my nephew is not pure, then don't take precepts."

Ye Chen was startled, he didn't expect the Second Master to say that, "I..."

Although he was distracted during the rehearsal, he didn't really want to escape the precepts.

Tianhu looked at him, shook his head and sighed, "Cultivation is not easy, fate is rare."

What Tianhu meant was because he felt that Ye Chen's relationship with Buddha was not enough.To be honest, he was born and entered the Tianliu sect. Up to now, he has never met anyone who said that he is not enough for Buddha.From Tianfeng to Tianliu, everyone is optimistic about him, but Tianhu's words imply that Ye Chen may not be destined for Buddhism.

It's fine to persuade him to postpone his ordain, once every three years, not once every 30 years, but Ye Chen's face turned pale when he heard that the fate is rare... What does this mean?

Fortunately, Tianhu didn't force him, and he didn't even tell Tianliu.

Ye Chen restrained himself, thinking that he should give Chu Liuxiang a little confidence, and reminded him that he would not be overshadowed by Wuhua, he had better finish his precepts first, otherwise Tianliu would not allow him to go down the mountain even if he scratched his head.

Tianliu observed that he suddenly stopped thinking about going down the mountain, and was also happy.

This time, the Northern Shaolin held three altars to pass on precepts, and he was invited to be one of the three masters.There must be three masters and seven certificates for precept transmission. The three masters include the precept-passing monk, karma acharya and professor acharya. Except that the precept-passing monk must be the abbot of the precept-passing jungle, the others can be invited by other temples. Tianliu was invited to be Karma Acharya.

Although Tianliu was born in Northern Shaolin, this is the first time he has agreed to come back as the third master.

He was still muttering: "It's not because of you, it's because your uncle doesn't have time, otherwise he would be the professor Acharya..."

"... Forget it." Ye Chenxin said that we are taking the monk route, why bother to do that, it's boring, and no one likes to watch it.I've heard of those who like to see the princes and emperors displayed in the background, but I haven't heard of those who like to see the abbots displayed in the background... I'm crying, don't I want the six roots to be clean!

Let’s say goodbye. In the past, the monk who wanted to save face was the elder Jinchi in Journey to the West. You see what happened to him.

Of course, Ye Chen just had nothing to do and thought about it casually, and it was not his turn to make decisions about these matters.

The three altars of precepts are the most busy and solemn, and many new precepts poured into the Shaolin Temple. Ye Chen also experienced the transmission of precepts in the Southern Shaolin, but the scale of the Southern Shaolin was not as large as that of the Northern Shaolin, and he was not a participant that time, he was just a spectator.

Only after taking part in the precepts can one realize that taking the precepts is also very hard, or it is the beginning of hard work. There are 250 precepts for monks, and each of them is strictly followed, which is beyond description.

Even someone like Ye Chen who regards monks as a profession can't help feeling that this company has really big rules.

Tianliu is still thinking about the hope that Ye Chen will accept the Bodhisattva vows in the future. The Bodhisattva vows are not as cumbersome as the Bhikkhu vows. During the Bodhisattva vows, Sakyamuni Buddha was the monk who taught the precepts, Manjushri Bodhisattva was the Karma Acharya, and Maitreya Bodhisattva was the professor. Jerry, the Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions is your classmate. It's very mysterious, not to mention the precepts. At present, Ye Chen is not qualified to accept the precepts. He lacks the most important Bodhicitta.

Ye Chen hesitated after listening to Tianliu's imagination, this job seems to be getting more and more difficult...

The ceremony was lengthy and lasted for several days. This required the signing of the ceremony, that is, the process of rehearsing in advance to ensure that the unskilled novices in the ceremony would not mistake the etiquette.Especially for novice monks, it takes more than ten days to complete.Like before when Ye Chen started, he hadn't practiced before, so it was weird, so he just pulled him over to get a shave.

Afterwards, I have to go through a lot of processes, such as asking for precepts, enlightenment, confession, etc., and finally I go to the altar to accept the precepts, and the ten masters lead the precepts. After passing each new precept, I still have to ask again and again, and the ten masters will vote. Decide whether or not to confer full precepts.

Ye Chen has learned this process thoroughly, and when he actually ascended to the altar to receive the ordinance, he was in a solemn scene, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and concentrate, and piously folded his hands and knelt down.

The great monk who passed the precepts, that is, Tianhu sat in the middle to be worshiped by him, looked at him, and asked softly: "The precepts are rare, do you really want to be a monk?"

It's so difficult to keep the monk's precepts, but there is no turning back when he draws the bow, Ye Chen can only grit his teeth and say, "I beg for your permission."

Tianliu looked at his senior brother in surprise, and coughed lightly.

Tianhu looked at him helplessly, "Brothers, are you qualified?"

All the teachers praised it one after another.

Suddenly, listening to the precepts, Ye Chen became a little confused about his career...

This is the first time that an elder has expressed the intention of telling him not to be a monk. He has always been said to be born to eat a bowl of rice. Even though there are many rules, he still abides by them. But when he was promoted, he came to such a boss , of course you will be confused.

After the conferment of the precepts, today's procedure is considered over, and from then on, Ye Chen changed to the Bhikkhu precepts.

Ye Chen also chatted with devout Buddhists, that is, some senior brothers from the North and South Shaolin, some of them said something very mysterious, after becoming a monk, the whole person is different or something, that kind of expression, those who don’t know, think it’s because of being raped. Shakyamuni touched his head, and his whole body was illuminated by Buddha's light.

Ye Chen couldn't understand their feelings, and they couldn't understand that Ye Chen didn't understand this feeling. It stands to reason that you are so good at homework, shouldn't you feel it better than everyone else?

The fact is that Ye Chen can only be solemn at most, but cannot produce their kind...Ye Chen thinks it is an illusion, he thinks about it, and thinks that this is probably Tianliu saying that he has no Buddha heart, and Tianhu thinks that he is not destined enough s reason?He has always been pretending to be a high-end magic stick, but he can't become a high-end magic stick. It seems that his career is indeed...

Before Ye Chen could figure it out, he saw a young novice rushing over. At this time, he had just finished the second altar, and everyone was tired, especially the three masters and seven certificates.The little novice squeezed to the side of Tianhu Lake, took out a letter, wiped his sweat and said, "Abbot, write urgently."

Tianhu frowned, and opened the letter in front of everyone. After reading it, he raised his head and glanced around, staying on Ye Chen's face for a moment.

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition.

Please don't let Senior Brother Wuhua attack others... Please give me some strength...

The monks also seemed to sense something, and waited silently for Tianhu to announce.

The North and South Shaolin were originally one, and Wuhua is currently taking the first place in the South Shaolin class, which is no small matter. This has been reported by various nearby temples, and he is well-known, and is quite famous in Zen Buddhism.

What Tianhu received was indeed the news about Wuhua, which was officially sent from Nan Shaolin. He thought that he had just finished conferring the bhikkhu ordination, so he couldn't help but look at Ye Chen twice more, and then looked at his junior brother who also seemed to have a feeling for a moment. Said in a deep voice: "Nirvana without flowers in Xitang of Southern Shaolin, all disciples, follow me to recite the mantra."

After that, he lit the incense again, led all the monks to kneel down, put their palms together and recited the mantra, praying for the purity of the rebirth without flowers.

Ye Chen was slow to beat others three or four times before being dragged down to his knees by the junior brother next to him. His face was blank and his mind was full of two words: What the hell? ! ! !
