Chapter 266 Life Teacher (Part 2)
Although these men spoke in strong dialects, it did not affect Lu Feng’s understanding. Lu Feng said: “We are monks who came to study, and we have letters of recommendation, so we came here specially to give them a recommendation. This temple has found a noble master to guide us."
Lu Feng took out the letter, but did not show it to the men in front of him, so that they could see it.
These men did not understand what "recommendation" was, but this did not affect their understanding of what the monks in front of them were doing. This also shows that these men themselves are of the "headman" and "warrior" class. Otherwise, they would not be able to understand these words.
The "attendant monks" that Lu Feng saw in the Tantric Dharma Realm on weekdays, the monks who had served as "monk servants", were not the lowest serfs in the Tantric Dharma Realm.
The serfs at the lowest level in the esoteric realm have no thoughts, no sorrow or joy.
What is left of them is their "survival instinct".
What is left is an empty skin, no joy, no pain, no thinking. There is an indifferent "nothing" in the eyes, a "dead silence", for "life" and "death" "Nothing, let alone things like "communication" that require verbal "logic".
——Usually, if you find a person with different thinking and inconsistent logic, you will have difficulty communicating, and there will be things like "you speak out" and "he listens to him", let alone Such a serf who has been tortured and has no human thoughts? Lu Fengzhi saw such a serf once, when he was a Buddhist monk and recited sutras for the chieftains outside.
Only those leaders, and even "high-level slaves" like Bai Zhenzhu, have their own thoughts. No matter what the thoughts and little thoughts are, they can at least "think".
These three rivers, whether they are the "Tongtian River" or the "Golden Bull River", are not the same as the rivers with the same name that Lu Feng knew before.
The man in front also took Lu Feng and the two to the place. The man reined up his horse and explained: "Two masters, I will take the two masters to Dracang Monastery to find the master."
I saw Lu Feng and Zhenshi. They saluted to Zhenshi. Lu Feng asked Baima to wait outside and guard the luggage. He took the letter and Zhenshi to seek the recommendation of Elder Mingli. The guru walked into the wooden attic where the monks rested. Someone came over to ask them why they were here. Lu Feng clasped his hands together, presented a piece of silver and said, "Brother, we are looking for guru Shangyuan."
Lu Feng said: "Good!"
After seeing the river, Lu Feng saw the green smoke in the distance.
A person walks with the wind as if he were walking in front of the wind. The group of people walked very fast. With these men leading the way, there were no other obstacles on the road. Lu Feng felt nothing strange along the way! Following these men until they saw a sparkling river, Lu Feng knew that their destination, Zhaju Monastery, was about to arrive!
As for the Dracang Monastery that Lu Feng and the others walked into, the door was painted vermilion, but the walls were white. The entire Dracang was divided into several parts, with special areas dedicated to the great benefactors and senior monks. There are "Datongpu" where several monks gather together, as well as the main hall for study and lectures. These buildings are built layer by layer. The outermost one is "Datongpu". Once inside, there is the Jingtong Temple. The house is the place where Buddhist scripture masters rest, and the main hall where Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues are enshrined. The closer you go inside, the brighter the colors and the more exquisite the buildings become. In people's eyes, the more "saturation" high".
The men took out colorful ribbons from their horse bags and hung them on the mounts of Lu Feng and Master Zhenshi. Then they motioned for them to follow and galloped wildly.
The invisible scripture culture created a tangible wind of fire, blowing violently around Zhaju Temple, a large and square temple. Even in the wind, the sound of the scriptures fell like mosquitoes and flies. It is in the ears, but like a big yellow bell, it is ringing in the heart. Even when the green smoke falls on the nine heavens, you can still see that the green smoke turns into the faces of Bodhisattvas of various colors, and then disperses again after being blown by the wind. It is extremely special. Win!
Those "grass fools" also followed their masters and ran happily around the grass,
Next to this building is the "Sutra Printing Courtyard". Although there are no temples built on the mountains in the Tantric Area, from bottom to top, the "Sutra Printing Courtyard" of Zhaju Temple is flat but profound. The exterior wall outside is extremely colorful. It shows two colors of beeswax yellow, khaki, and vermilion. It occupies an extremely vast area. This building has a local style of the Tantric Dharma Territory. The door is very small. It is a painted vermilion door with navy blue glazed tiles to protect it from the wind and rain. The piece is hung on the door.
There are three rivers next to Zhaju Temple, the largest of which is called "Tongtian River", another river is called "Golden Ox River", and the last river is translated as "Fat Ox and Sheep River" ".
The prayer flags and mantras were pasted on the door and on the left and right sides of the door. At the door, two victory buildings stand in front of the door. Unlike the Dracang Monastery, where monks often enter and leave, the door of this Sutra Printing House is closed. Two navy curtains cover this important Buddhist holy place, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will.
These "rivers" don't seem to come from places like big glaciers. This "Tongtian River" shows a ~ shape. Zhaju Temple is located outside the floodplain of this ~, and it is also Even if you see this huge river that is completely spread out, you can see Zhaju Monastery.
The strong fragrance can be smelled even against the wind.
The place they went to was the resting place for the Buddhist masters. They walked along the road and turned onto the trail. They could see four- and five-story wooden buildings on both sides. Master Feng and Zhenshi walked in and saw the yellow-robed monks coming and going. In terms of number, these monks were infinitely more numerous than the yellow-robed monks in Wuwu White Pagoda Temple.
The blue smoke reaches the ninth heaven.
It is a "temple within a temple" that can operate independently of the temple.
And these three rivers are so important that even the masters in the temple do not know where the "heaven" of the "Tiantian River" is.
When Lu Feng and Master Zhenshi followed up, Lu Feng even had the energy to look at these colorful ribbons. These ribbons all had a strong smell of incense. It was obvious that they should be It is the silk and satin that is enshrined in front of the Buddha. It can also be used in a luxuriously covered temple like this temple. Colorful silk and satin can be cut out and used as ribbons.
The square Zhaju main temple has eight gates, and the Zhacang Monastery is located on the left hand side of the temple. It is the "Mani Orb" among the eight arms of the temple, the "Supreme Wisdom Fire", and the "Supreme Wisdom Fire". Fountain of Wisdom and Prajna".
"Master Shangyuan?"
The monk accepted a piece of silver from Lu Feng as an offering, so he was naturally easy to talk to. He asked Lu Feng to follow him and walk along the alley. .
After a while, after turning two or three small alleys, he stopped in a secluded place. He found a small attic with a single door. He knocked in front of the attic and said: "Senior Brother Shangyuan? Senior Brother Shangyuan?"
Lu Feng and Master Zhenshi both took a look. The entire Dracang Monastery was very strange. From this distance, it didn't matter whether it was made of wood or stones. In the tower block, both monks can hear the movement in the tower, but this is not the case here.
The difference between opening and closing the door is the difference between "existence" and "non-existence". Before the door is opened, Lu Feng has no way of knowing whether there is anything in the attic of the tower block. Where the guru is. This is something that the Endless White Pagoda Temple cannot possibly achieve.
The Guru caressed his hookah.
In the past three years, his status as a monk-official has long since disappeared. His status as a "discipline monk of the precepts academy" is a "monk-official". He can still be a monk in the Zhaju temple. But it is absolutely impossible for him to still be a monk official of the Zhaju Temple, so during this trip, he did not wear the lining of the blue clothes he used to wear. He now wears a simple bright yellow lining and earth-red monk's clothes.
Monks who share the same Buddhist teachings must also be taught as "monk officials", so the master Shangyuan should have a higher status than the master of true knowledge.
The door opened.
The guru inside is revealed.
Lu Feng immediately explained: "Master, I am a monk from the 'Endless White Pagoda Temple'. I brought a letter from the 'Endless White Pagoda Temple' and came to see the master."
< br>Master Shangyuan looked at the two people outside, motioned for them to come in, and said: "It's really strange. Recently, the monks from Wuwu White Pagoda Temple have been in the limelight.
Why are you guys? Don’t you go to your Mingfa elders? Don’t you know the status of your Mingfa elders in the temple?
He has now been able to establish his name in the temple - you come to find me, but who recommended you to come? Is it reasonable? "
When Master Shang Yuan thought about it, he immediately thought of Ming Li. Lu Feng said: "What Master has seen is extremely clear. "
At this time, a smile appeared on Master Shangyuan's face. He said: "Although I have never met your elder Mingli, in the Endless White Pagoda Temple, I can' There are very few people who practice the Protector Mantra of King Mingzhu as well as he does. He is a monk with great blessings and great perseverance.
It is also a great blessing for me to be friends with people like him! He is willing to ask you to come and find me as your teacher. Even I will be very happy!
Okay, okay! ”
Master Shangyuan smiled and took the half of them in front of them to the main sutra hall on the first floor. In the main sutra hall, there is a mandala thangka enshrined, and the incense curls up among them. , in addition to them, there were two monks sitting among them. Seeing Master Shangyuan "going and returning", these two monks and their servants also saluted the master again.
Lu Feng glanced at them slightly.
My heart is like a mirror.
Know clearly the origins and thoughts of these people.
This should also be the monk who came here to find a "life teacher" - there is no requirement that a "life teacher" can only bring an outside monk!
Just looking at the appearance of these monks, Lu Feng could see the "merit" behind some of them!
‘Merit and blessing! ’
This is what Lu Feng never expected, that he would see someone with “the merits of the Secret Dharma Realm” here again!
This "merit" can be regarded as the greatest benefit he got from surrendering to "Li Wei" last time.
The two monks in front of me, one looks to be in his teens and the other looks to be seven or eight years old. They are both wearing monk robes, but none of them are red monks like Lu Feng. He was wearing a robe, but he brought with him several servant monks, all of whom were spell-masters.
Lu Feng Zhixu had to think about it a little in his mind and he knew their origins!
It turned out to be two reincarnated Buddhas!
Master Zhenshi said that there are many ancient temples within the scope of the Dharma of Zhaju Temple. These ancient temples are either from other previous sects or ancient temples that have declined. The inheritance of the grassland where this temple is located is also very profound and unfathomable.
There may be few people or no names, but none of them can be underestimated!
What are these two reincarnated Buddhist disciples from ancient temples doing here?
Do they also have to look for a "life teacher" like themselves before they can enter Zhaju Monastery?
Lu Feng felt that something was strange.
It should be noted that the position of "life teacher" is for the temple to seek people with "innocent origins" as monks to study in the temple. Therefore, the difficulty has been raised a bit, and the monks from outside must be asked to find the original monks. The monks in the temple ask the guru in the temple to be a guarantee.
But why do reincarnated Buddhists in other temples on the grassland need the masters of this temple as "life teachers" to prove their origins?
Aren’t their origins innocent enough?
These didn't matter, Lu Feng's focus was on the upcoming exams.
He had no way of knowing how many people were competing with him for the "Fifth Level" exam, but he was determined to win the "Fifth Level" exam, and he must take it. In hand!
Lu Feng has no way of knowing how the Sixth Level Examination of Zhaju Temple is going. He has the "authority" to take the Sixth Level Examination in the temple, even if it is the Endless White Pagoda Temple Such a temple will also open the door of convenience after the "presiding venerable" has "subdued" the "enemies of Buddha" in the temple. In the exams of the current year and the next year, the number of people will be relaxed and the money will be subsidized. "Big charity" can replenish the number of masters, and it is natural to support the temple.
But the "sixth order" can be like this, but the "fifth order" cannot! If you want to increase the "fifth level" degree, you must obtain the permission of the "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas". In other words, the "authority" to expand the number of teachers is in the hands of the "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas" .
Nothing is decided by "Zhaju Temple" itself!
In the fifth-level examination of Zhaju Monastery, one of the three positions is generally reserved for monks like Lu Feng to debate scriptures and study. One of the other two positions is for the temple. Among them, the other one is "Hubilhan" and "Hutuktu" of big temples like "Endless White Pagoda Temple"!
So Lu Feng saw these reincarnated Buddhists with "favor of merit" appearing here, and appeared under the same "life teacher" as him, which made Lu Feng feel a sense of uneasiness. Although As soon as the breath came out, it was shattered and turned into a kind of spirituality. It appeared next to Lu Feng and taught Lu Feng what it meant that "when things go wrong, there must be a monster."
But in addition to what Master Shang Yuan just said, in their "Endless White Pagoda Temple", a "showy" and "famous master" like Elder Mingfa appeared.
Lu Fengzhi felt that he had just arrived and had not really arrived at Zhaju Monastery. The wind in Zhaju Monastery was getting stronger!
It’s still a demon!
What is this? The storm is coming, will it overwhelm the building?
