Leaves fall without flowers [Legend of Chu Liuxiang]

Time flies.Three years later, Ye Chen was 13 years old.Master Tianliu's apprentice is good at divination, and it has been spread as widely as Master Tianliu's proficiency in Buddhism. Every time Tianliu takes Ye Chen out, he will be surrounded by people, asking Ye Chen for fortune-telling.

Ye Chen was miserable, how did he know that what he said casually in order to send people off would have such a high hit rate, and after word of mouth passed on, it became more and more distorted...

Ye Chen cried: Hey, I only stay in Xuedou Temple most of the time every year because I suppressed an evil dragon in the temple!It's just because Master only goes out a few times a year, is it okay? Is it possible that I leave Master and go out to give lectures alone?Not at that level!

And when I was born, there was no lotus blooming in the sky above my house, and I didn't point to the sky and the ground... That's the treatment of the Buddha!

The people in my hometown are also very enthusiastic!I spread the words that my master said that I have Buddha nature, and then spread more and more exaggerated.It turned out that I was born with bodhicitta, and when I was a baby, I was merciful and refused to drink water that had not been filtered to remove bugs. I never cried or made trouble.

It's not like that, it's really not like that, it's not even right not to cry or make trouble, but it's all just less crying, how can I stop crying at all, otherwise who would know that I'm hungry!

……

God knows how many times Ye Chen has yelled under his calm appearance. He is still considering whether to accept the bhikkhu ordination, but he has suffered so many "you are a Buddha" eyes... It's scary.

After being besieged by the people again, Ye Chen sat outside Tianliu Gate with his knees wrapped around him, "Master, I'm tired."

Tianliu: "How to become a Buddha without going through hardships, three eyes, have you realized it?"

"..." Hey, Ye Chen wiped away his tears, "Master, I want to return to vulgarity."

"...Don't!" Tianliu came running slowly and opened the door, "Teacher, come in, let's talk."

"Don't go in." Ye Chen sat on the ground and refused to get up, "I'm tired, I have to go back to the vulgar."

Tianliu: "Don't... let's not talk about going back to the vulgar, okay, disciple, come, let's trace your original heart with you as a teacher... Do you feel so tired? You should be happy that you have saved all sentient beings, right?"

Ye Chen: "I didn't save sentient beings, I was lying to them!"

"Where did you lie..." Tianliu said.

Ye Chen was downcast, "I don't know how to do fortune-telling and fortune-telling at all... It just happened to be me."

Tianliu looked confused, "Didn't my teacher tell you several times, how could you be caught by chance, you have three eyes."

Ye Chen: "...what?"

"Disciple, don't you know why my master named you Sanmu?" Tian Liu stroked Ye Chen's bare head and said, "You have a third eye here."

Ye Chen: "...Crazy, return to vulgarity!"

"Don't keep threatening Master with disobedience." Tianliu held Ye Chen's head in his hands, "Master is not talking nonsense. In the past generations of my Zen sect, there have been great virtues born with the third top door. There is history to check." It is mentioned in "Bi Yan Lu" that with one eye, one can sit in ten directions, and one is born with true and thorough wisdom.'”

"Master...don't lie to me as I don't study much..." Ye Chen didn't believe it at all, the Zen version of Erlang God?No matter how you hear it is a copycat.

"Monks don't tell lies!" Tianliu said, "I am a born great monk."

Ye Chen stared at him. In other words, Tianliu has always strictly observed the precepts, and he will also be strict with the monks in the temple, but he has not stopped him from showing others in the past few years. It turned out that he felt that he had a third eye. ?He also said that he was born a great monk. You should know the original meaning of this word. He is the collective name of the three realms, from Shang to Supreme.Master must have been confused to say that...there is a difference between having a Buddha and being born a great monk!

Tianliu knew what Ye Chen was thinking when he saw Ye Chen's eyes, so he asked, "Disciple, let me ask you, are you born with my Buddhism? Learning scriptures is several times faster than ordinary people."

"Yes." That's true. His whole family worships the Buddha. He basically grew up in Sanskrit singing. He received the novice ordination at the age of seven and was ordained as a monk. However, he learned scriptures faster than ordinary people because he was a monk in his previous life. Ten years of learning...

Tianlou asked again: "Are you born not to cry?"

Ye Chen held back his complaints and replied, "Yes, but..."

Tianliu interrupted him: "Not only does he not cry, but he is also wise."

Ye Chen didn't dare to argue all of a sudden, I made a big mistake, of course I was born with wisdom, I travel through time!

He seemed to know why he behaved so maturely, and Tianliu was at most just guiding him to be more lively, but he didn't show any doubts. He thought he was considered a child prodigy or something, but looking at it now, he was even more advanced than a child prodigy... …

Seeing that Ye Chen stopped talking, Tianliu smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Born in the Buddha's light, he is born with wisdom and has a thorough understanding of this world. What is it? You are a bit ignorant now, unwilling Admit it, you are just influenced by the secular world, continue to practice, and you will be able to see your original mind."

"..." Ye Chen felt unwilling. Master, master, I have wisdom because I have traveled through time and have a thorough understanding of the world... That is because I have watched "Legend of Chu Liuxiang"!Wake up quickly, okay?

"You still don't believe it?" Tianliu said indifferently: "Then let me ask you, is there a lot of things you said come true?"

Ye Chen: "=mouth=..."

Ye Chenru was struck by lightning. Traveling through No. 13 years, he found himself being played by the world again.

Could it be that the route of this life is the magic stick?

Ye Chen thought hard, but he was more willing to believe that it was all a coincidence... How could he be a born monk? He agreed to join the temple, but he was obviously following the crowd... And then he found that he didn't really like being a businessman, and he was born in a lay family. They will definitely be forced to marry blindly and have early children.

But according to Tianliu, think about it the other way around, if he didn't have a predestined relationship with Buddhism, why did he just enter the temple.

Very thoughtful.

Tianliu looked at his disciple deep in thought, touched his bald head, and said, "You have been in my school for six years. As a teacher, I have always hoped that you would develop a heart for the Tao. Now you come first, but it is too hasty for the teacher. Although you have You are very smart, but you are young after all. Amitabha, would you like to go to a big temple to practice?"

"Why do you want to practice in a big temple?" Ye Chen was at a loss.

Tianliu explained with a smile: "One thing, Xuedou Temple is small after all, and there are not as many classics in the temple as there are in the big temple. In recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who can answer your questions. If you want to hone your skills, you have to go out. Two things, Xuedou Temple It is a forest of descendants, and you cannot be given a bhikkhu precept here, but if you go to the forests of the ten directions to practice and become enlightened, you can receive a bhikkhu precept there."

Ye Chen also knew that the jungle means Zen forest, and the place where monks gather is also a temple.There are two types of temples. Small temples like Xuedou Temple are descendants of the forest, and they can only pass on novice precepts to others.The further Bhikshu precepts can only be received in large temples, that is, in the forests of the ten directions, or in the temples of the ten directions.The three altars are grand, and not every jungle has the financial resources to hold them.

Tianliu's words showed that he wholeheartedly hoped that Ye Chen would concentrate on Buddha.

Ye Chen said helplessly: "A lot of Zen masters are only novice monks all their lives. Why is the master so obsessed with letting me accept the monk's precepts?" Bhikkhu or novice monks, many ordinary people don't care so much, as long as they know that they are monks.

"It's just hope. I think this may be the Buddha's secret guidance." Tianliu clasped his hands together and said.

"...Cut." Ye Chen looked at him with contempt.

Tianliu looked down at his apprentice, "If you want to go out, there are many great temples in the world, and among them, the northern and southern Shaolin are their own families, and both of them have your master. It is the best choice. Moreover, there are countless people who are profound in Buddhism in Shaolin Temple. You can go to a higher level in Buddhism."

That's right, the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion is famous all over the world. Not only are there many eminent monks who have attained the Tao, but there are also many advanced martial arts. In short, it is a very awesome place.

Ye Chen looked at Tianliu a little helplessly, and when he said it, he felt itchy in his heart, so he asked, "North and South Shaolin, which one is cleaner?"

When he stayed in Xuedou Temple, people would come to him from thousands of miles to engage in superstitious activities, if he could change to another place, it must be a little cleaner.

"That must be Southern Shaolin. Your master uncle is there. His Buddhist and martial arts are the best among our brothers. You can ask him more."

Tianliu was overjoyed, "Next month will be the Dharma Conference for the transmission of precepts. Shaolin only transmits the precepts every three years. Unfortunately, you are too young. Although you can catch up this time, you cannot receive the precepts. You can only wait for three years. Three years Then you are sixteen, which is just right."

"Three years later and three years later, I don't guarantee that I will be ordained after three years." Ye Chen said.

Tianliu smiled slightly, confident, "Amitabha, when is your chance, let's see."
