[Journey to the West] The monster took me away again

Chen Wei wrapped the pinch of panda fur in a handkerchief and put it in his wallet for permanent preservation.

Shi Sang squatted on a stone bench not far away, staring longingly at the scene of the three monsters walking away, then looked up at Chang Guang beside him, "Chang Guang, Chang Guang, am I the only little monk now?"

In the Huasheng Temple, it is the only one with fur and a huge tail.

"Go up and try."

As soon as Chang Guang finished speaking, a milky-white fennec fox rushed out, quickly ran up to the little monk, squatted down, jumped on the other's shoulder with a cute face, and sent his big tail: "Don't be sad!" Yes, I will stay with you in the future, I will live in Huasheng Temple and I will not go anywhere!"

The person standing on the porch hugged the milky little fox, buried his head in its stomach, and sighed intimately: "Shi Sang, you are the best."

Shi Sang let him bury his face obediently, and secretly stretched out a small paw, making a no-problem gesture to Chang Guang in the distance.

The giant panda left and came to Chang'an. The person who had done nothing for a week hugged the little fox and finally remembered that his masters and brothers still lived here, so he hurried to find someone.

"Junior brother finally finished his big business, I thought you had forgotten your name."

Jueming was sitting in the room making tea, when he heard footsteps passing by outside the door, he didn't need to look up to know that his junior brother had finally returned home.

"Senior brother said that, why do I smell a sour smell?" Chen Wei opened the door curtain, walked over to the little fox in his arms, and carelessly pulled another futon and sat on it.

Jue Ming glanced at the little fox with a half-smile, and slowly poured him a cup of freshly brewed hot tea: "I don't know if it's sour or not, but you've been in Huasheng Temple for the past few days. All the monks in the temple saw what he did." Even Xuanzang also saw it.

He brought such a big flower bear and gray wolf into the temple, followed by a big peacock.

He has even heard the other monks in the guest house talk about the three animals with such obvious characteristics several times in the past few days.

Said that they suspected that their Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou was specialized in raising animals, and said that one of the secrets of their Jinshan Temple was animal taming.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and some people have even secretly inquired about the news with the young disciples below, asking if their method of taming animals can be used to train some cats and dogs.

The cats raised in the temple always like to crawl on people's beds, and their master doesn't like cats, but the cat likes to crawl into the master's room. It would be great if it could be trained to change rooms.

There are also dogs in the temple who come to ask how to keep the dog from biting shoes and tearing down the room.

"I sent them all away, and I didn't keep a single one." A certain person spread his hands, looking very innocent: "I'm good-looking and attractive to attract demons, how can you blame me for that."

Jueming fell silent, holding the teacup and looking at him with contempt in his eyes.

June NO.13, all the invitations sent out by Huasheng Temple were finally returned. All 110 guest monks arrived. Huasheng Temple’s 38 courtyards, 72 inner courtyards, and [-] outer courtyards were fully booked. .

The eminent monks from all over the country gathered together. This time, before the official start of the Discussion on the Dharma, various temples can start to compare the Dharma in twos and threes.

Xuanzang was taken by the elder Faming, and he went out every morning and evening to give lectures on scriptures and meditation, and talked about mysteries, and his fame gradually spread among many monks.

Another ashram at the Lingguang Pagoda of Huasheng Temple started construction at the end of last year. It took half a year to hire [-] workers to build a [-]-square-meter ashram.

It can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch this Thousand Monks Conference. Under the leadership of Chang Guang, Chen Wei came to visit once.

After just one glance, I was shocked by the wealth and wealth of Huasheng Temple. I went to the Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall that day.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, for the sake of having known each other for so many years, if you can fulfill one more wish of mine, if the request is not high, please give us a half-price discount area for Jinshan Temple according to the specifications of this dojo. Stop the Great Sage and let him beat the red boy less."

After making his wish, Chen Wei was cleaned up again by his senior brother, and then pulled out by the master, and continued to compete in the Dharma competition with the proud disciples from other temples.

This day was the first day of the Thousand Monks Conference. All the monks in the guest house of Huasheng Temple got up at the beginning of the morning. At the turn of day and night, the disciples of Jinshan Temple had all packed up and stood in the center of the guest house to listen Faming spoke.

Fa Ming was wearing a brand-new Chang'an-style Jiuyi red cassock, gazing energetically at the disciples and grandchildren below.

"Today, thousands of monks are discussing the Dharma. Our Jinshan Temple is just a small temple in Jiangzhou. You don't need to put too much pressure on it, just go out to see and see."

These disciples were all born near Jiangzhou, and the farthest place they have ever been to in their life is this time when they came to the capital with Fa Ming.

As an old monk who practiced asceticism for half his life, Fa Ming is very sure about the positioning of his temple.

This time, even he himself had the attitude of bringing his apprentices to gain knowledge.

But after saying these words, Faming pulled Xuanzang aside again, corrected the brass buttons on his monk's clothes, and said to the little disciple earnestly: "Today is the first time you have lectured on such a big occasion, please speak carefully. , let them all know how powerful our Jinshan Temple is..."

"Master, you just told us not to be under pressure." Xuanzang reminded him with a deadpan face.

"That's right to them. You are a disciple of Buddha. Can we treat ourselves with low requirements? And this time, all the people who can be on stage will participate in the selection of the next Jerry. Chen Wei wants to participate in the Jerry. If you If you don’t come on stage, and you don’t let him raise animals, if the child cries later, how can you coax him?”

Those who couldn't coax people, couldn't meet each other, and could only communicate with Chen Wei through pen and paper took a deep look at Faming.

"Master said something wrong, and Master said sorry to you. May you be famous in Chang'an City today."

Fa Ming was able to bend and stretch, and immediately knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly apologized to him.

After he calmed down, he took a group of people and left the Southwest Hospitality Hospital ready to go.

In the weather of June, [-] monks had already arrived at the arranged dojo on time at Chenshi.

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, walked behind Faming and entered the dojo side by side with Jueming.

The rising sun slowly rises from the east, the prayer flags are fluttering, and the treasure cover condenses the sky to illuminate the colorful clouds.

The Venerable Arhat and Golden Elephant lined up on both sides, hundreds of peonies from the edge all the way to the high platform, and thousands of flowers juxtaposed with each other. With this handwriting, any monk who stepped into the dojo could not help but straighten his chest and walk in proudly. in their respective positions.

The incense table on the high platform burns sandalwood incense, and the disciples of Huasheng Temple have already sat down in the smoke.

"This is written by Faqing of Huasheng Temple, Jigu Bangwen."

Faming led his disciples to find a place to sit down, picked up the scriptures on the futon, opened it, and said to the disciples: "The Jigu Bangwen is a banwen for saving lonely souls and wild ghosts. See the sandalwood book on the high platform. Is it fragrant?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the high platform in front of them. There were indeed a few incense burners there that smelled of sandalwood.

"That's the sandalwood descending formation. It is said that after being burned, the Bodhisattva can descend."

Not only they were watching the practice of Huasheng Temple, but all the monks who arrived at the scene received the same well-prepared Jigubang on their futons.

"This Huasheng Temple can go today not only because it is located in Chang'an, but because it has gathered thousands of monks to open the door of convenience, spread compassion, and help the sea of ​​suffering. It is worth learning for the world to avoid Shen Ke's six interests."

"Amitabha, this is great kindness."

All the monks who were listening on the side clasped their hands in agreement, picked up the list and began to chant sutras.

All the gates of Huasheng Temple are fully open today, and the thousand-meter-long team at the foot of the mountain, everyone holds flowers and takes a bath and clean clothes one day in advance. Foying, the movement under his feet immediately subsided, and he walked quietly to the back of the high platform in the distance.

In the monastery with tens of thousands of people, apart from the sound of chanting sutras on the small high platform in the center, there were only slight footsteps, and no one spoke loudly. The common people brought their children, and the children lay on their parents' shoulders and looked around curiously. The surrounding pictures did not cry at all.

After the reciting of the Jigubang, all [-] monks turned their voices to the central platform.

Faqing, the abbot of Huasheng Temple, stood up, dressed in purple cassock, walked to the crowd calmly, sat cross-legged and looked at the monks below.

"All appearances are illusory. If you see that all appearances are not appearances, what does it mean to see the Tathagata?"

"Junior brother, hurry up." Jueming elbowed Xuanzang who was at the side, telling him to stand up quickly and answer.

……

Chen Wei only felt that he had dozed off, and was pushed awake before falling asleep.

When he opened his eyes, he found countless pairs of eyes staring at him, so many that he jumped up in fright.

The next second he lowered his head, he found that he was standing.

Looking to the side again, Jueming senior brother was blinking at him desperately, and secretly pointed his finger at the position in front of him.

Chen Wei raised his head and looked at the old monk sitting on the high platform ahead.

"What does this Samana have to say?" Faqing smiled and looked at him gently, without putting any pressure on him. "The poor monk's words are too low."

"It's a bit small, if the Master is willing to speak louder."

The person who didn't know what happened at all, faced tens of thousands of staring eyes, bit the bullet and asked Fa Qing to repeat it.

"All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, what does it mean to see the Tathagata? This is the question asked by the poor monk just now." Faqing said it again according to his words.

The person standing alone in the audience blinked his eyes and answered calmly: "The real one, the real one, is also equal to the same one. The real one has no one, and there is no difference. Therefore, the cloud is the Tathagata.”

After Chen Wei finished speaking, he specially used his 4.0 eyesight to observe the audience behind the high stage, and found that most of the faces were full of admiration, but his eyes were darkened and he didn't understand at all.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "This means that although everyone present here looks different, wears different clothes and eats different breakfasts when we go out, we are all human beings, and virtual appearance refers to our status and status. Everything in front of us, everything in front of us is the illusory appearance of things, all illusory. Reality means that we are all mortal wombs with the naked eye, which is determined from the day we were born. We are all human beings, and human beings are our reality. phase, returning to the essence is called reality.”

His self-assessed explanation made the smile on Faqing's face more harmonious, and he continued to follow the public's opinion, "If you know each other, why are you outside? Therefore, you should know that living outside the body is useless. What's the explanation?" ?”

When this question was asked, thousands of monks in the audience recalled the scriptures they had read in the past, trying to find out the source of this sentence.

Faqing didn't look at the crowd, but looked in Xuanzang's direction expectantly.

Chen Wei held his chin and thought for a while before he opened his mouth; "I don't see the reason inside, I don't live outside the body, the body and mind know each other, and we don't separate each other. When we look at you, the teacher, we see the outside of the teacher. We look at you through the heart. To look at the guru is to see the guru's inner being, and between the two is the original mind, which can only be resolved by breaking the mind, and the two phases become one."

Behind the high platform, tens of thousands of people watched with their eyes open and their ears pricked up. They were quite happy listening to Elder Faqing discussing Buddhism.

In the end, I saw a young monk standing up, looking confused, and many devout believers glared at the dojo over there.

Some people found that the monk who stood up looked really handsome.

Standing among a group of monks, like Yingying Yushi, handsome and with a good voice, and listening to what the other party said, it is not the first time for many people to participate in the Fa Conference of Huasheng Temple. Every time I hear it, I forget it.

Apart from remembering the four words of Amitabha Buddha, I can't remember other content at all, and I don't understand what the masters said.

I didn't expect to come here today, and after only three sentences, I understood the meaning of Master Faqing's words just now.

All of a sudden, countless fiery eyes focused on the little monk, expecting the other person to continue talking, which was the only part they could understand.

After returning home, you don’t have to worry about bragging and can’t figure out what the mage is talking about.

Chen Wei didn't care, he sat back after answering, lowered his head and pulled Jueming to ask about the situation.

"What's going on? When was the last time I came out?"

He clearly remembered that there were still two days before the Fa conference, so how could he suddenly wake up at this time.

While speaking, he took out the prayer beads in his sleeve and put them on his wrist.

Jueming was even more resentful than him, and his heart almost jumped out of his shock from his sudden substitution just now.

"Two days have passed. Just now was the first question of the Fa conference. I pushed Xuanzang to stand up."

Who knew that with a push of his hand, he turned the person into Chen Wei.

"You are the one who wants to participate, so it's just right for you to answer the question now." Faming interrupted.

Chen Wei: "..." Do I want to participate by myself!I am giving Xuanzang a chance!

"The monk disciple just now, I have another question here, I don't know if the monk can answer it."

Faqing on the high platform asked two more rounds of questions, and monks from other temples rushed to answer, but Faqing hoped that the disciple just now would stand up again.

"Junior Brother, Hurry up!" Jueming wanted to push the man again, but thought that the action just now had pushed him away, this time he only touched his arm lightly with his sleeve to make him stand up quickly.

Chen Wei stood up helplessly, listened carefully to Faqing's question, and explained it in vernacular that the public could explain.

On this day, he was called up and answered nineteen times in total, the most among the thousand monks. No. 2 was the ground listener of Huasheng Temple, who answered sixteen times.

After he finished answering the last question, Jueming saw the junior brother sitting down, the younger brother blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were flattened.

Xuanzang raised his head and looked at the sky above, which was obviously no longer the same as in the morning, and looked around in a calm tone: "It's over?"

The author has something to say: It took me a day to write this chapter, and the questions Faqing used in the article came from the Infinite Sutra and the Diamond Sutra respectively.
