Chapter 294 An ancient temple with no history
Lu Feng doesn’t know what Bayin Lotus Tu thinks of him, but Lu Feng really doesn’t care about these things, even if Bayin Lotus Tu is arrogant and can’t see him , Lu Feng will also feel strange. He is still full of distracting thoughts.
He fiddled with his rosary beads and began to sort out his distracting thoughts this time, sorting them out one by one.
First of all, it is the issue of taking exams.
Thinking about this "written test", he should have no problems.
Now his test lies in the next "project establishment" and "bible debate".
Although it is impossible to know what the "project" of this sutra and treatise is intended to establish this time, I think it will not deviate too much. The "Kanjur" of the "Lotus Chin Dharma Temple" and "Tenjur" had just been brought in, it was impossible for those masters to just use this "teaching material" that had not yet been disseminated.
The remaining "project establishment" should also be found from various previous "teaching materials", so this is not a bad thing for Lu Feng.
After thinking about the subject of the exam, the next step was the strange things he encountered in the main hall. Lu Feng silently recited his "Fudo Ming King's Heart Mantra". His heart gradually calmed down. Thinking from this point of view, he actually had to go to two places to take a look.
The first place he heard was the sound of sacrifice coming from outside the temple.
Lu Feng wanted to find the history of Zhaju Monastery in this Sutra Printing House. For such a place where he had to study for several years or even more than ten years, Lu Feng had to be careful about Zhaju Monastery. A comprehensive, serious understanding.
Everything he said was true.
The second place was naturally the place he saw in his dream.
The first three "wooden libraries" cannot be said to be "shocking" in any way. Among these three "wooden libraries", there are not many scriptures. , but Lu Feng has not read all the Buddhist scriptures in this first "Sutra Collection Tower".
When the attendant monks saw Lu Feng in red, they all made way for a red monk like Lu Feng to pass by. And when Lu Feng was on the road, he also had to get out of the way and called for Geng Geng. The big monks moved forward. From this point of view, the Zhaju Temple is still very strict. However, as Lu Feng walked, he was shaking his "prayer wheel" and the "Rhyme of Great Compassion" washed over him over and over again. For the rest of the monks, this is the so-called convenience for others and convenience for oneself.
There is no more useful way to observe this kind of thing than to observe Zhaju Temple from the entire history. At the gate of the Sutra Printing House, Lu Feng also met the "reincarnated Buddha" sent by Bayin Lotus Tu to pick up the book. Lu Feng Feng greeted him politely, and Lu Feng couldn't help but think of what he said to Bayin Lianhua Tu again.
Some things cannot be said. If you say them, they will become troubles.
On the "gate" soaked in tung oil, there are bright yellow glazed tiles, making a "shielding" shape. The unknown blue Bodhisattva mantra wheel hangs on the gate. The monks who came and went would hold the books they had borrowed or wanted to return tightly in their arms and come and go in a hurry.
On the left and right, one or two people can pass together.
From time to time, he would see "discipline monks" here. Sometimes these "discipline monks" would come over when they saw Lu Feng looking into the alley, waving their iron rods and shouting rudely. Lu Feng left, and Lu Feng naturally put his hands together to thank him. After walking for half a day, Lu Feng had not seen the place in his dream, but even with Lu Feng's footsteps, he walked the part in one morning. , it’s just a small piece of land in Zhaju Temple.
After all, the Sutra Printing House is also part of the temple, so the hierarchy in the Sutra Printing House is also clear.
So Lu Feng had to say goodbye early the next morning. He once again received a letter of silver from Bayin Lotus Picture as an offering, and just left here. Lu Feng followed the flow of Buddhist monks and some attendant monks in yellow clothes and came to Zhaju Monastery.
He still needs to think clearly about this matter. Otherwise, if the next danger strikes, he doesn’t need to get anything else. He only needs to be slightly interfered with during the "bible debate". Then he It may be that the head is rolling and the shape is not human.
Lu Feng stood in front of the Sutra Printing House. This place is the "crystal of wisdom" and the "supreme treasure land". In local words, this is the "fruit of the tree of wisdom of the Bodhisattva". In this Sutra Printing Academy, there are countless generations of wisdom and experience hidden. For example, the "Golden Guangming Sutra" that was studied this time is a great classic and is placed in the Sutra Printing Academy.
Take a look outside and leave.
Even if Lu Feng had a note from "Master Mastiff", he would not have access to many books, such as the entire "Golden Light Sutra", and the entire printing house was built along that broad river. A large number of earth-yellow walls surround the entire Sutra Printing House like a coiled dragon. It is very majestic, but strangely, the door of the Sutra Printing House is quite small.
But sometimes, the truth is not the same as the truth.
There are still some places that Lu Feng can't get through at all. There are locks on the street, the main hall, and "discipline monks" guarding the front. No one is allowed in at all, even if he doesn't even look at it twice. Not even eyes.
This is one of the "convenient methods" practiced by Lu Feng. At this stage, they are actually practicing all the time!
Only by treating everything in your daily life as practice can you maintain your current level. In the eyes of masters like them, everything is practice and there must be no slacking off!
This is the first time that Lu Feng can walk slowly in Zhaju Monastery. Although Lu Feng also has a "purpose" this time, compared with this "purpose" that can be postponed, it is better to visit and watch carefully. Zhaju Monastery is the most serious one. Walking in Zhaju Monastery, this ancient building gave Lu Feng many surprises, but there were many places where even Lu Feng felt a chill of horror when he looked over. Lu Feng did not go into some ancient alleys.
A large number of wind horse flags and mani were piled outside the Sutra Printing House, and inside the Sutra Printing House, there were prayer flags like a sea of clouds. With Lu Feng's status at this time, there was nothing he could go to. As usual, Lu Feng was not allowed to enter the three "library pavilions" at the front of the Bible Printing Institute. Lu Feng came to the first three-story wooden library and searched up and down.
So Lu Feng was not discouraged even though he found nothing. He walked out of the Zhaju Temple and came to the side of the Sutra Publishing House. The largest collection of books in the Zhaju Temple was in the Sutra Publishing House!
However, Lu Feng has no plans to read these scriptures for the time being.
Today there is not much time left before "debating scriptures". He has no time to study new "vast scriptures". He just has to keep his "Buddha Heart" from turning back. That’s it, but it’s easy to say, but it’s really difficult to do.
Don’t underestimate the words “no retreat”.
How many masters have failed in the end because of these four words: "no retreat".
In the esoteric realm, the upper-level masters are one of the masters of the esoteric realm. As the status of the hierarchy continues to increase, the masters will naturally have a feeling that the entire esoteric realm The legal realm actually exists to serve him.
At that time, many "sufferings" in the eyes of Bodhisattvas are readily available to these masters. Therefore, the masters of the sixth level will not be shaken, and the masters of the fifth level will not be shaken. , the heart of renunciation is broken and buried in the sea of suffering.
All the same!
All the same!
Even if we reach the fourth stage, what if we attain enlightenment and have a pure mind? Can a "stainless heart" really be free from all things in the world?
In some aspects, for example, the "pure view" that Mahayana Buddhism seeks to obtain, and the "immaculate mind" sought in the fourth stage of the tantric realm, are naturally similar, but regardless of the Whether it is the "purity view" of Mahayana Buddhism or the "immaculate mind" of the fourth level, it is impossible to maintain one's own Buddha mind and never retreat! Even if he is a fourth-level master, his three minds will still retreat due to various reasons. He will still change from a successful master to an ordinary person.
Cultivation is here at this moment, but it may also turn into nothingness at the next moment!
As long as you are in a sea of suffering, all of this will be impossible.
Lu Feng also knows this, and he should know it, so he understands even more that practice is a never-ending step-by-step progress, and it is something that must be planned slowly. He cannot rush or make mistakes. .
If he is anxious, he will easily make mistakes; if he is wrong, he will be slow!
Therefore, Lu Feng first needs to find out the history of Zhaju Temple, and find out everything about Zhaju Temple from history!
Most people who write history are very interesting. All history is processed orally spoken. Even the most impartial historian can always see something of their own when reading between the lines. In terms of understanding and ideas, it is impossible for them to be public figures who are always impartial. As the saying goes, humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?
What's more, someone who compiles history?
This is also Lu Feng's "It is better to believe in no books than to have no books at all", and if there are many historical materials that corroborate each other, Lu Feng is very likely to find a trace of history hidden in these historical materials that can corroborate each other. The haze among them.
So when Lu Feng searched the three "book collection places" and failed to find any historical materials, Lu Feng searched for the monk in charge here, clasped his hands and asked him about the books on the history of Zhaju Temple. .
The old monk looked surprised. He stared at Lu Feng and said, "What did you say? What do you want?"
Lu Feng repeated the words, and the monk shook his head, still confused. Said: "You monk is really teasing me.
I have never heard these statements from you.
If you want to get scriptures, I can also find the locations of these scriptures for you.
I have been a monk in charge here for many years, but how can I find the past in this temple that you want?
That is something that does not exist!
Ah, ah, you might as well find two old monks and ask them to tell you.
You didn't come here to look for scriptures, you just came to look for the temple's past. Are you really here to play tricks on me? "
The red-clothed master clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at the monk in front of him with some suspicion. After knowing that he was just joking with him, he also gave Lu Feng some guidance. .
It means not to look for the history of the temple in the Sutra Printing House.
If he really wants to find it, he should go to the temple to find the two old monks. , went to ask these monks about the past stories of the temple.
Lu Feng glanced around, and smoothly stuffed the envelope of money that he had still warmed into the arms of the master opposite. After making an offering, he put his hands together, bent down and saluted, and asked humbly and respectfully: "Master, where should I go to find such a guru as you mentioned?" ”
The red-clothed guru naturally accepted the offering. In the darkness, he accepted the "enshrined" guru, and his face became solemn. He stared at Lu Feng's face for a long time, and kept looking at Lu Feng. After a while, Just now he said: "You go to the temple and find a cooking monk who is drying pickles in the temple. Wherever you smell the pickles, you go there, and you go to the place where the pickles are drying. You can see an old and shabby monk. When you see him, you can ask him.
But his ears are already deaf. Even if you leave him next to a herd of wild horses, he will not be able to hear. The sound of wild horses' hooves
But his eyes are blurred. Even if you put him under the thunder, he can't see the lightning of the thunder.
Go and look for him. , no need.
By the way, you are a monk. By the way, what is your name?
Yongzhen?
Yongzhen, I have never seen you before, and I have never heard of your name. You must be a monk from other places?
Oh, it turned out to be a monk from the ‘Endless White Pagoda Temple’?
He is indeed a monk from out of town. Why don’t you, a monk, study hard and find out the past in the temple? ”
That master is also kind-hearted. This is not the first time that Lu Feng bumps into this master in charge. This master’s hair is short, an inch, but he looks too old. Yes, my whole body smells like an old man.
His face and body are covered with brown age spots, and his skin has become saggy. When he opens his mouth, you can see that all his big teeth have fallen out, and his hands are exposed and dry. layer of skin, no more flesh and blood.
And he didn't like the sun, so he often sat in a dark corner and watched all the monks coming and going.
At this moment, the skylight came down and shone on his outstretched hand, giving people a feeling of "time intertwined", and there was nothing "special" about him that he had accomplished in practice. Lu Feng knew in his heart that in a place like the Secret Law Realm, where did "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" come from? How much strength everyone had and how much strength they showed.
Hidden clumsiness?
In the esoteric Dharma realm, hidden clumsiness is not popular. The most profound master in Buddhism can make kings kneel at his feet. The strongest and most majestic men can choose cattle, sheep and women first.
Therefore, this master was actually already in his twilight years, but facing such a monk who had no "future", Lu Feng was still respectful. He took out the offering again and placed it in front of the master. In his hand, he asked the guru for advice. The guru took the offering and suddenly said to Lu Feng: "Your method makes you look like a great benefactor. It's a pity that I am no longer the young master of Dracang Monastery. Master, otherwise you can still have a bowl of soft rice. If you want to go, go find it immediately."
He did not stop Lu Feng, but when Lu Feng turned around to leave. , he heard the old monk behind him say softly: "The temple never has a past, and if you go to look for it, it will only increase your troubles.
What a pity for a young benefactor.
< br>What a pity, what a pity!”
