The general rebirth of farming

Chapter 32 Water and Land Ceremony (2)

Qu Yuan rode a motorcycle, did not go to the town, but drove all the way to Anqing Temple.

Due to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, Anqing Temple was very busy.The Water and Land Dharma Assembly is the most grand Dharma assembly in Buddhism. Every time it is held, thousands of believers will come to participate.To set up a water and land ceremony requires mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources, and it takes seven days and nights to complete the merits and virtues.This is the first time Anqing Temple has held it, and it is paying more and more attention to it.

However, when a young monk saw Qu Yuan, he immediately put down his work, greeted him respectfully, and saluted with clasped hands. "Anituofo, Master Chen, the abbot is seeing a guest. I told you that if you come, just go to the meditation room and wait for him."

"Thank you, little master." Qu Yuan returned the salute, and walked to Abbot Kongwen's meditation room with ease.

Qu Yuan didn't mind that Abbot Kongwen was not there.He didn't come to talk to Abbot Kongwen today, he just wanted to borrow a place.This is what he had agreed with Abbot Kongwen yesterday, so the abbot asked him to go directly to his meditation room.

When he was strolling around the town a few days ago, he overheard a few aunts discussing the Water and Land Ceremony that Anqing Temple would hold next month.At that time, he was thinking about how to sell the vegetables at a good price and win the bet.When I heard about the Water and Land Ceremony, my mind suddenly changed. The Water and Land Ceremony will have to be held for at least seven days, and countless people will definitely come to Anqing Temple by then.If you can set up a stall outside the temple to improve the quality of cabbage, and add some special gimmicks, you may be able to sell it for a good price.

With an idea, we have to see if it is possible to implement it.So Qu Yuan immediately went to Anqing Temple to find out what conditions are needed to set up a stall near the temple and what difficulties need to be solved.

Qu Yuan didn't think about meeting Abbot Kongwen, he just planned to ask a young monk.However, life is so wonderful. Abbot Kongwen, who hardly ever leaves the meditation room for nothing, suddenly came out and met Qu Yuan.Abbot Kongwen was very surprised to see that Qu Yuan was young, but he was full of malevolence, but he didn't have the slightest hostility. Let me talk about it?"

Qu Yuan didn't know that the old monk who stopped him was the famous Abbot Kongwen, but he didn't feel disgusted seeing this old monk's benevolent eyebrows, so he didn't mind chatting with this old monk.Unexpectedly, this chat, the two were very speculative, and soon became acquainted.

The monks of Anqing Temple almost dropped their jaws when they saw that the abbot had a happy conversation with an ordinary young man.This is why these monks were very respectful when they saw Qu Yuan later.

Pushing open the wooden door of the meditation room, a faint fragrance of Zen came to the face.Qu Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance, and immediately felt much calmer inside.Abbot Kongwen's meditation room is lit with a special kind of Zen incense all the year round, and the effect of meditation is very good.That's what he came for.

After closing the wooden door, Qu Yuan spread a three-foot raw Xuan Xuan on the long table, studied the ink, but did not pick up a pen to write, but went to a futon in the Zen room and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and did not move. No movement, no breathing at all.After an unknown amount of time, Qu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.At this moment, his eyes were empty, calm, without any emotion.

Qu Yuan, who had fallen into a certain state, stood up from the futon, strode to the long table, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and started to walk on the three-foot passport.After a while, a big "Buddha" appeared on the rice paper.

The word "Buddha", at a glance, has a solemn and sacred feeling.Look at it twice, and even feel that those strokes have turned into a solemn Buddha, which makes people want to worship.

After writing this word, Qu Yuan was stunned.

Calligraphy Calligraphy focuses on the word "Fa".There is no "law" book, it is just words expressing the meaning of the writer.However, the book of "Fa" can make people feel the artistic conception shown by these words and appreciate its spiritual outlook.

In the past, although his handwriting was good, he could not be regarded as calligraphy, at most he could only be regarded as a calligrapher.I didn't expect to write a book with "Dharma" this time, what a surprise.It really didn't come in vain today.

Qu Yuan was secretly happy, the old monk Kongwen's meditation incense was really good, and he had to take a box with him when he left later.

The door of the meditation room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a very old monk with white eyebrows and beard and wrinkled face walked in with a smile, and his voice was like a bell, "I wonder if Master Chen is satisfied with the old monk's meditation room? "

Qu Yuan smiled, and handed over the letter in his hand, "If the abbot is satisfied with this letter, then I am naturally satisfied."

Abbot Kongwen looked into Qu Yuan's hand, his eyes widened when he saw it, he quickly took the picture, and excitedly recited the Buddha's name, "Anituofo, my Buddha is merciful. Benefactor Chen, this Did you write the words? It’s really well written! I don’t know if the benefactor can give up his love?”

Abbot Kongwen held the rice paper tightly, looked at Qu Yuan expectantly and nervously, for fear that Qu Yuan would say "no".How can there be the indifference and composure of an eminent monk?

The corners of Qu Yuan's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were shining brightly.He will show this word to Abbot Kongwen, so naturally he intends to give it to Abbot Kongwen.But this word can't be given in vain, how can you do yourself a favor if you don't get some benefits?

"The abbot likes this word, just take it. But I have a few requests, I hope the abbot can agree."

"What is the benefactor's request?" Upon receiving Qu Yuan's affirmative answer, Abbot Kongwen was overjoyed, his eyes were firmly glued to the paper, and he refused to move even a bit.After only looking at the word "Buddha" for a while, Abbot Kongwen felt that his long-stagnant state of mind had subtly improved, and he was overjoyed. Even if Qu Yuan wanted all his property, he would give it to him.

Naturally, Qu Yuan would not want to hear about the abbot's property, but said: "I am going to make a painting of the Eighteen Arhats, and I hope the abbot can consecrate the portrait and leave a seal."

Originally, he only planned to write some Buddhist verses to attract the attention of those attending the Dharma conference.But at this moment, he had a better idea.As long as Abbot Kongwen can agree to his request, not only can he win the bet, but he can also make Chen Family Village famous once and for all.

"Anituofo, as long as the benefactor does not tarnish the name of my Buddha, I am willing to fulfill it." Abbot Kong Wen's words were very tactful, and the implication was that if you do not draw well, you will insult my Buddha. I will definitely not leave a mark for your appreciation, so as not to damage my reputation.

Qu Yuan naturally understood, evoked a confident smile, and said, "I will not disappoint the abbot."
