Female Buddha

Chapter 14
Qingtan brought Qingli to the Sutra Pavilion, but it was because of Liaoyuan that he asked him to come to Qingli for business.Qingli followed Qingtan into the fourth floor of the Sutra Pavilion, and found that the great monks of the Qing Dynasty and above in the temple had already sat cross-legged on the futons and waited for them.Thinking of her senior brother saying that he came to her at the request of her master, Qingli felt uneasy.Considering that it was still early in the morning when Qingtan got there, and now it's dark, it seems that everyone has been waiting for her for a long time.

Qingli hurriedly saluted and apologized: "Qingli has met Master, Martial Uncle, and all senior brothers. I am really sorry for keeping you waiting so long. Amitabha!"

"Amitabha." All the great monks in the room followed suit.

Liaojue said with a smile: "Master nephew, there is no need to feel guilty. There are many variables in cultivation. I would also like to congratulate master nephew on his great progress in cultivation."

After some pleasantries, let’s get down to business.Liao Yuan said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although our Fahua Temple does not receive believers like Fanchen Temple, we distribute peace charms every year and organize monks to go to free medical clinics for the people. Qingli, you have only been here a few months. , so you don’t need to go to the free clinic. Recently, you have been drawing more peace talismans. On New Year’s Eve, the first and second days of the lunar month, you will take the novices of the Jingzi generation to the streets to present talismans."

"Yes, disciple, I obey." Qingli quickly agreed.

In fact, time is nothing to practitioners.Many people who have stepped into the ranks of spiritual practice no longer celebrate the New Year.After all, there is no time for comprehension, and once in a while, a few years have passed.The Buddhist sect is different. The relationship between the Buddhist sect and its believers must be maintained.Regardless of whether the believer is a practitioner or not, they still look at the Chinese New Year.Just like someone in Qingli's previous life would squeeze her head to burn incense sticks on New Year's Day.Buddhist believers in the Brahma world are no less generous.It's just that believers in the secular world usually go to temples in the secular world to offer incense.If their location is not far from the other six branch temples of the Buddhist sect, they can go there to offer incense.Although they are only allowed to enter the outer hall of the branch temple.Fahua Temple is different, except that it is not open to believers during the Fa Conference.Those who can still participate in the Fa conference must also have invitations.

The impression of Fahua Temple from the outside world has always been that it is aloof.But this does not mean that the monks in the temple live completely in isolation and do not care about worldly affairs.You must know that Buddhism pursues transcendence.If we are walking in suffering, how can we achieve detachment?The people of Fahua Temple will choose to give alms at Foyun City not far from Fahua Mountain on the three days of New Year's Eve, the first day of the lunar month, and the second day of the lunar month.

Every year, the three-day downhill almsgiving is basically carried out by the youngest disciples led by the Qing Dynasty.The protection effect of the peace charms and scriptures in Fahua Temple is much stronger than that of other branch temples.Therefore, many believers come to meet Buddha's fate in these few days every year.In addition, the Buddha's light is the nemesis of evil spirits after all, some monks who can't get high-level Buddhist charms will come to meet the Buddha's fate.After all, the peace talismans and scriptures donated by Fahua Temple are all from the hands of monks of the Qing Dynasty and other generations whose cultivation level is in the realm of the small golden body.The protective effect attached above is quite obvious.If you are lucky enough to get the talisman drawn by the great monk who is in the period of leaving the body, you will really make a lot of money.

There are only so many people who are qualified to draw alms symbols at Hokke Temple.Therefore, they only give away 300 peace charms every year.There are even fewer scriptures, only a thousand.However, even if this is the case, it is also a huge workload assigned to individuals.Everyone else is fine and gets a little every day all year round.Qingli was not so lucky.She has only been here a few months, and it has only been in the past week that she has achieved some success.New Year's Eve is now less than half a month away.So she needed to quickly draw more than [-] peace symbols and copy a hundred copies of scriptures.

Qingli had already remitted more than 50 peace charms in the past few days.Her cultivation level is underground, but she possesses the seed of Buddha.The effectiveness of the peace talismans she drew was comparable to those drawn by people in the relic realm.But she has advanced today, so the safety charm she draws must be more effective.Among the peace charms given out in the entire Fahua Temple, her ability to draw them was the weakest.She also wanted to save face, so she wouldn't show off the fifty peace charms she had painted.She decided to go back and redraw it.

After talking about giving alms, Luoyuan started talking about the Buddha's Birthday Dharma Assembly on the eighth day of April.Don't think that it seems like a long time to be five months away from the eighth day of April.But now it's time to send invitations to the appropriate people.Every year, the invitations are written by Buddha himself.

The invitations mentioned here refer to external invitations.Each branch temple within the Buddhist sect is allocated a quota, and the ancestral temple does not need to post.It’s just up to each branch temple to choose who will participate.Every year, various temples hold Dharma gatherings according to circumstances.The Buddha's Birthday Dharma Assembly is the only Dharma assembly held by Fahua Temple every year.It is also a Dharma assembly that represents the Buddhist sect’s openness to outside sects.Fahua Temple will give certain quotas to other sects.Of course, there is only one invitation for each sect.And the sects that can receive invitations to the Fahua Temple Dharma Assembly must be at least second-rate or above.The remaining small part of the invitations are for the benefit of the families of Buddhist disciples.For example, I will send a message to Qingli’s parents for next year’s Dharma conference.

As the next Buddhist disciple, Qingli was asked to assist Qingtan in handling the invitations.To put it bluntly, it was just to let her gradually become familiar with Fozi's work content.

Qingli wanted to seize the time to draw talismans and copy scriptures, but she didn't expect that there were so many things waiting for her.It seems that I have done Buddhist practice, and I am also busy during the Chinese New Year.Qingli sighed slightly in her heart.

In the following days, Qingli's time was fully scheduled.The usual study and practice cannot be left behind.It is impossible to throw away the morning and evening classes.Apart from these fixed itineraries, Qingli spent the rest of her time drawing symbols and copying scriptures.Of course, I have to squeeze out an hour every day to learn from Qingtan the obligations that a Buddhist should fulfill.

The busy time flies by, and it will be New Year's Eve in three days.Qingli sat at the table and drew the last peace talisman, folded it into a triangle and put it away.Turning around, I saw Xiao Jin standing beside the table grinding ink.Ever since Qingli fulfilled her promise to take it back to the meditation room to take a bath after picking the pine cones last time, Xiaojin has been playing tricks and refused to leave.But it is the little prince of the golden-eyed giant ape family after all, how can it be allowed to live in the temple forever.I don't know what Xiaojin said to his father, but finally the king of the golden-eyed giant ape (who has reached the realm of transformation and understands human language) came to find Yuan to discuss.Xiaojin signed an equal contract with Qingli and became Qingli's partner.Xiaojin thinks that he is older than Qingli and has a higher level of cultivation.And Qingli is still a cub now.It observed Yuan for a long time, but it regarded itself as Qingli's elder and took care of Qingli.Although it is clumsy occasionally and does bad things with good intentions.But it brought a lot of joy to Qingli.

Qingli likes Xiaojin even more.Now Xiao Jin has also practiced and can even sharpen ink.Seeing that the ink had been polished very well, Qingli quickly smiled and said, "Xiao Jin is awesome!"

Xiao Jin happily patted his chest, looking proud.Qingli smiled and spread out the paper, dipped her pen in the ink prepared by Xiao Jin and began to copy the scriptures.Xiao Jin knew what was good and what was bad, so he didn't bother Qing Li at the moment and went out for a walk on his own.

　There will be one more later.Thank you for your support.
