Chapter 24 Peach Blossom Buddhist Association (please read)
The mountains are humid, wisps of sunshine fall on the peach trees, and mist rises.
Lord Big Tail is sitting cross-legged on the bluestone. Although the wolf head has a fierce look, it has kind eyes and brows, which is really strange.
A group of little monsters sat in front of Lord Big Tail, scratching itch and scratching lice, but few of them listened attentively.
"All the evil deeds I have done in the past were all caused by greed, anger, and ignorance. They were born from body, speech, and mind. I now repent of all of them."
Venerable Dawei recited the morning verse, his voice was hoarse and harsh, but also somewhat high-spirited.
This voice seemed to have some kind of Buddhist magical power, and it was heard all over the peach forest and outside, as if it was ringing in the ears.
Sure enough, all the little spirits put aside their laziness and raised their heads to listen carefully.
Meng Yuan and the other three hid behind a large stone and pricked up their ears to listen.
"The master has said that no one in the world is unjust; all emotions in the world are evil."
The Venerable Dawei held a Buddha bead in his hand, said kindly and kindly: "What we are talking about today is the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance. What is greed? It is also desire, greed for appearance, greed for form, greed for wonderful touch, and greed for offerings. . Most of what worries me comes from this.”
All the spirits shook their heads. Nie Yannian frowned, but Meng Yuan listened with interest.
"Brother Big Tail, can you learn Buddhist magical powers without greed? Is there a way to enter Buddhism?" A smarter Jinmao Mouse asked.
"Exactly." Master Dawei looked like a kind preacher.
"Brother Big Tail, please teach me!" the golden-haired rat said happily.
"If you have this intention, you are already greedy."
Venerable Dawei shook his head slightly and chanted: "You need to remember: Desire is like a flowing stream, and the mind is easily confused. Greed is like fire that burns the field of blessings. It is difficult to chase things to satisfy endless suffering, and reincarnation is endless. Meditation can calm thousands of waves. Visualization You can break through all the obstacles and return to your original purity by keeping the precepts and doing nothing.”
The golden-haired rat was stunned on the spot, not because he understood, but because he didn't understand.
Meng Yuan listened carefully from a distance and felt that the old wolf's verse was quite meaningful. It was indeed a Buddhist method of killing greed.
It's just that the old wolf asked Hei Baa and Bai Baa to steal medicine and dogs. The wolf under his command also killed people and dismembered corpses. It was obviously not the work of an enlightened monk.
"Brother Big Tail, what should I do?" The golden-haired rat was quite intelligent and knew that this was an opportunity to enter Buddhism and practice, so he asked the question sincerely.
"Get rid of all your greed and thoughts." Venerable Big Tail said with a smile: "You work hard for grains, rice, melons and fruits every day, just to feed your descendants. As long as you kill all your descendants, your greed will disappear."
The method spoken by Venerable Big Tail is completely different from the verse he just recited.
Although there is a Buddhist theory of entering Buddhism to behead family members, this does not mean beheading family members!
When all the monsters heard this, they were all shocked.
The golden-haired rat trembled and said, "Brother Big Tail, I only have a few children, and I can't bear to kill them."
"In that case, then go down the mountain and grab back the lush fields. From now on, you will have no worries about food." Lord Dawei said.
"But there are many people at the foot of the mountain. They have swords and guns, can shoot arrows, and there are people from the Demon Suppression Department. I am weak and can't beat them," said the Golden-haired Rat.
"How can you achieve the supreme path without going through ups and downs? As long as you have great aspirations, even if you fail to achieve it, you will always succeed one day after reincarnation." Lord Dawei said with a smile.
Isn’t this advising the golden-haired rat to die? After hearing this, Meng Yuan felt more and more that this Lord Big Tail was evil.
"Old Wolf is not following the orthodox Buddhist path." Nie Yannian laughed in a low voice: "This is a kind of thought. Planting thoughts in the hearts of these monsters who listen to Buddhism, no matter what thoughts are. Over time, this thought will grow into a towering tree.”
Meng Yuan was immediately alert and said: "Master Nie, I won't be planted, right?"
"You didn't even get the eggs, so you planted them!" Nie Yannian laughed and scolded, "Those with high moral standards will plant them for you without even realizing it; those with low realms and poor Buddhist practice will have to teach them every day and sow them every day. This old wolf doesn’t have enough morals, the monsters are wild-minded, and his methods of deceiving people are too crude!”
Meng Yuan felt relieved and was about to continue listening when he saw Lord Big Tail looking this way.
It was obvious that Nie Yannian's voice was louder and others noticed.
"Since the donor is here, why don't you show up to meet him?" Master Dawei smiled while holding the Buddhist beads. He really looked like a virtuous monk.
Nie Yannian walked out of his hiding place, and Meng Yuan and Ren Debiao also came out quickly and stood on both sides of Nie Yannian. The two sides faced each other across the mountain stream.
When those ghosts saw that it was three men with knives, the timid ones had already fled, while the bold ones hid in the peach trees to watch the fun.
"Leprechaun, your Buddhist teachings are not very clever!" Nie Yannian put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and laughed loudly.
"Amitabha, if outsiders don't uphold the precepts and don't know the Dharma, I don't blame you for being a poor monk." Reverend Dawei was actually very nurturing.
"Mangolf, are you from the west or from Lanruo Temple?" Nie Yannian asked again.
There is a Buddhist country to the west of Qingguo, which is vast and boundless. Most people, whether human or demon, practice Buddhism.
Nalanruo Temple comes from Ping'an Prefecture in Yunzhou and is the only Buddhist temple in Qingguo Kingdom. At the same time, this Ping'an Mansion is also the only place in Qingguo where Buddhism can be spread and Buddhist temples can be established.
"The donor is in trouble."
Venerable Dawei held Buddha beads in his two furry big hands, clasped his hands and said: "We who practice Buddhism naturally come from where we are and go where we are going."
After hearing this, Nie Yannian turned his head to educate Meng Yuan and Ren Debiao, saying: "These bald donkeys have this kind of virtue. They have read a few Buddhist scriptures. They think they have the ability, so they spend all day looking for people to play tricks on them and talk nonsense." Brainless nonsense, it’s not bullshit!”
The Big Tail Venerable was not angry, but asked: "The donor's words are very familiar, but he is a fellow Taoist from the Demon Suppression Department?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I no longer work in the Demon Suppression Department!" Nie Yannian held the knife in his arms and said contemptuously: "But my skills in peeling skin and bones have not fallen behind."
Another group of spirits that had been left to watch the fun escaped. Big Wolf scolded them again and again, but to no avail.
"Amitabha, my fellow Taoist, the karma of killing is too heavy. It is better to return to my Buddhist door, purify yourself, and enter my paradise in the next life." Venerable Dawei recited the name of the Buddha very sincerely.
"That's not right, you Buddha!" Nie Yannian stepped forward with a smile and said, "Is it also a Buddhist rule to steal medicine and dogs?"
"If you don't steal, what's the difference between the strong and the weak?" Lord Big Tail said.
"Is it a Buddhist principle to instigate smelly rats to come down the mountain and harm people?" Nie Yannian asked again.
"All living beings are equal. But the human race occupies my mountains and forests, robs my land, and kills my fellow tribesmen. Can we just kill them at the first glance?" Lord Big Tail clasped his hands together, with a hint of compassion in his eyes, "Don't kill. Hatred never ends.”
Meng Yuan heard clearly that this Venerable Dawei actually did not have a deep understanding of Buddhism, but he was able to form his own theory based on these Buddhist concepts and was able to justify himself.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to argue with this type of people. To put it nicely, it's a dead-end attitude; to put it worst, it's a pyramid scheme.
"You're from the Fucking Enlightenment Sect!" Sure enough, Nie Yannian's question was not to debate the scriptures, but to test the other party's background.
"Amitabha." Reverend Dawei showed his sincerity in asking for advice, "Where is the Sudden Enlightenment Sect? Why haven't you heard of this Buddhist temple?"
"Half-assed!" Nie Yannian became more and more disdainful, drew his knife and walked forward.
"My Taoist friend is too murderous and has deep evil obstacles. I'm afraid he will not die a good death." Venerable Dawei said the most vicious words in the most kind tone, and with a smile on his face, he added: "The two young donors are willing to enter Am I a Buddhist? Accept my teachings?”
This old wolf is really weird. He should be beaten naked, but he still pulls these useless things!
"I have all five poisons. Master, it is better to save others than to save yourself!" Meng Yuan said loudly.
When Ren Debiao saw this, he wanted to say something loudly, but he couldn't hold back the words.
"The sea of suffering has no end, but when you turn around you will find the shore."
Venerable Dawei crossed his legs, clasped his hands together, and said with compassion: "Three of you are in a sea of suffering, but you are still stubborn!"
As he spoke, Venerable Dawei tore off his red cassock and threw it into the sky, revealing the shabby robe.
I saw it clasping its hands together, with a ferocious look on its face, and the Buddha's light faintly emanating from its body, "Oh my! In that case, the poor monk still knows a little bit about it! Let's go up together, three of you!"
"I don't need three people to deal with you, I am enough!" Nie Yannian took a step forward.
"Hahaha! Arrogant and arrogant!" Lord Big Tail roared, put his two furry hands together, made a seal, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop your emotions, stop being arrogant, and let your mind shine in the sky! Divine Foot Power! Open! Sky Eyes ! Open! Open! ”
After reciting, Venerable Dawei picked up the Zen staff beside him, jumped up, stepped on the red cassock that was still floating in the air, and radiated Buddha light from his body, heading towards Nie Yannian.
The wind is cool in the mountains, grass grows beside the stream, and orioles chirp deep in the trees. At this moment, the sky has turned from sunny to overcast, and the spring rain is coming.
