Chapter 35 The haunting sheep
Lu Feng has not eaten for a night and a morning.
But he still has to be unable to eat for a whole day and a whole night.
Because he wants to fast.
To clear away the impurities in the mind is called "fasting".
Forbidding the wrongdoing of the body is called "precept".
Fasting means observing precepts to eliminate all cravings.
Fortunately, the water is still drinkable. Lu Feng left here while reciting the curse. In the past, he would salute others, but now, he put on the red monk's robe, made of cowhide boots, and tall hats, although the hats are different from those worn by the elders.
But this was the first change. He became a superior monk in the eyes of Buddhist monks and became a "great monk".
I met monks also wearing red clothes on the road, but these monks saw Lu Feng from a distance, and some quickly stayed away, while others disliked him and deliberately spit at his feet. , or cursed, while others stepped forward to talk to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng's heart remained still as he walked on the road, which was called "Zhai".
There were monks in yellow waiting for him in front of him. They were the ones who came to "move" for him. According to Lu Feng's request, they took Lu Feng's luggage to his new accommodation. Here, you can wash, bathe, meditate, and have your own small kitchen.
In the kitchen of the Endless White Pagoda Temple, Buddhist monks and some monks of the sixth level cannot get food after meal time, because they eat at the right place on time and how long a meal takes. These are all precepts and regulations, and they are all part of the precepts.
As for monks and monks at the elder level, they do not need to be subject to this restriction.
Because Wuwu Baita Temple believes that precepts are a way to help people restrain their minds and understand Buddhism. These great monks no longer need to use this kind of precepts to restrain themselves, because they no longer need to use these precepts. With this kind of external object to restrain themselves, they already know what they want.
But Lu Feng didn't know whether it was true or not.
He is only a sixth-level monk, and he also knows that there are some things that cannot be explored carefully. For example, those great monks may really ignore the precepts, but those who are the same sixth-level monks as him, What about the monks who have gained “good knowledge”?
If they go to the kitchen to look for food, they will be kicked out by the monks. However, if they become monk officials, especially the direct subordinate monks of these kitchen monks, they can still go to non-meal places even if they cannot practice. Eat fragrant beef and mutton, and eat oily tsampa.
This has nothing to do with their practice, it is because they are monks, nothing more.
When they arrived at a new place, there were naturally yellow-robed monks who boiled water for Lu Feng and took a bath. Lu Feng even saw a red-robed monk.
He stood in the distance, directing the movements of the monks in yellow. When he saw Lu Feng passing by, he clasped his hands together, and Lu Feng also clasped his hands together.
"Junior Brother Yongzhen."
He is the protector guru sent by Lu Feng's master, Elder Mingli, to help Lu Feng. His name is Yongqing Monk.
"Junior brother, feel free to practice, I am responsible for everything here."
Lu Feng thanked the other party, and Monk Yongqing continued to preside over the overall situation. He was not jealous of Yongzhen at all, because he knew very well , not everyone can be the disciple of Elder Mingli. In recent years, many disciples of Elder Mingli have died. Although being a disciple of Elder Mingli has many benefits.
But you also have to live to enjoy it.
Bathe, dress, meditate.
Lu Feng returned to the clean room, put down all the magical instruments with strange charms in his hands, and took out the black sheep from the abandoned mandala, " Send” a gift to him.
He originally lived in a monk's room, but now Yongqing monk has prepared a new place for him, a single room. If he has a servant monk, he can ask the servant monk to sleep on the ground or at the door . For a situation like Monk Zhiyun, who has his own courtyard and a Buddha statue he enshrines, he must have the status of a monk official, and Monk Zhiyun himself was born into a noble family, so there is no shortage of offerings. They are all red monks, and Lu Feng is still far from these monks.
Still opening the thangka, Lu Feng quietly stared at this thangka and mandala. Lu Feng's mind was filled with the image of the sheep.
The seed word is "hum".
Lu Feng’s mind was filled with the shadow of this black sheep.
Just like this, I don’t know how much time has passed. In Lu Feng’s mind, there is still the same sheep, but the strange thing is that Lu Feng feels that the shadow of the sheep is becoming more and more familiar. It's becoming clearer.
Even the few hairs on its body, even the smell of sheep's mutton on its body, even the unique hoofs on sheep that can walk on cliffs, and the smell of breath from the sheep's nose.
The place where the ancient scroll was placed on my chest suddenly became violently hot!
Lu Feng suddenly woke up.
The butter lamp beside Lu Feng suddenly lit up.
Lu Feng held the Zamaru in his left hand and the prayer wheel in his right hand. While shaking the Zamaru, he began to recite the six-character Great Ming Mantra and looked at the gentle flower in the chakra under his umbilical cord. The slowly blooming lotus flower and the rhyme of great compassion slowly appeared from his body, rippling throughout the room.
I don’t know when it got dark. Lu Feng didn’t know how long he spent meditating this time. More importantly, a black sheep really appeared here. It used His square eyes were constantly patrolling here.
Lu Feng closed his eyes, seeing nothing, and began to recite the mantra silently.
"Om Mani Padme Hum".
The six-character Great Ming Mantra echoed in the "empty" room. Lu Feng's figure seemed to be here, but also seemed not to be here.
The six-character Great Ming Mantra prayer wheel in his hand seemed to make a hoarse sound every time it turned.
It's like there is something extra between the wheels.
It was like someone was crying silently.
The strange rhyme is also transmitted from the turning prayer wheel, along with the mute sound of the turning.
A strange and empty sound also came from Zamaru, soothing all Li Wei, and the light green butter lamp illuminated Lu Feng's shadow.
There was a foul smell.
But in this room, Lu Feng is neither here nor here. He seems to have learned more than just "not being distracted" in the abandoned mandala. He seems to have learned more things. , and at the last moment, he even made a "big donation" of himself in the form of "voluntary confession".
The black sheep looked anxiously at the "empty" place. The burning butter lamp did not satisfy it. The monk in yellow clothes outside the room was lying in plain clothes, but at this time, his whole body was covered with blood. Everything began to rot, and a strange charm emanated from his body.
When the sun came up in the morning, the black sheep left the house after searching to no avail.
The rotting yellow monks outside all opened their eyes at this moment, and the rot on their bodies had long been cured.
It’s just that their eyes turned into square shapes for a moment, like sheep’s eyes.
