Female Buddha

Chapter 18 Dharma Assembly
Time passed quickly, and it was the seventh day of April in a blink of an eye.Fahua Temple is very lively.The disciples who came from various branch temples to participate in the Dharma conference were naturally arranged to enter the Neishan Chanyuan.The rest of the guests were arranged in the Waishan Temple.And people like Qingli's parents can only live in the Waishan Temple.

This time, the Chen family and Dai were able to enter Fahua Temple.All three were extremely excited.But just the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps outside the door are difficult enough for Dai.However, the rules of Fahua Temple were like this, so the Chen family had no choice but to accompany Dai to climb up slowly.By the time they climbed the stairs to the gate of Fahua Temple, it was almost dark.The guest monk Hengyuan took the invitation and took them to the Zen monastery assigned to them.When Hengyuan left the monastery, he immediately sent a message to Neishan.

Qingtan got the news and notified Qingli.Qingli packed up the scriptures she had copied for her family, as well as some peace symbols, sat on the lotus platform and flew to the outer mountains.Because of the coming of the ceremony, Qingli was also very busy.Murong Yu thoughtfully moved to live in his master's Buddhist monastery.

Qingli thought that her parents and grandma were not fasting.She went to the dining hall on the way.In the past two days, the dining hall has specially prepared suitable meals for people like Dai who have no fame or fortune.Qingli packed meals for three people and continued flying to Waishan Zen Temple.

Of course, Qingli's arrival could not be concealed from the leaders of the major sects who came to attend the Dharma gathering with advanced cultivation levels.After all, the only people who can use aircraft to fly in Fahua Temple at this moment, and the ones flying from the inner mountains, are only people from Fahua Temple.Everyone saw a little girl wearing a monk's robe and a Buddhist crown, and they couldn't help but feel curious.After careful exploration with his spiritual sense, the leaders of several major sects have basically guessed Qingli's identity.Although people from the second-rate sect don't know Qingli's identity.But as the only female disciple admitted to Fahua Temple in ten thousand years.This alone makes these people dare not underestimate her.

With so many divine senses cast on her body, Qingli could of course perceive it clearly.To be honest, this feeling of inquiry made her very uncomfortable.But Qingli also knows that practitioners like to use their spiritual sense to investigate everything.Besides, this is Fahua Temple, so they won't do her any harm if they come here.Moreover, being able to unscrupulously release spiritual exploration in Fahua Temple shows that these people's cultivation base is quite high and they are very confident.Qingli also didn't want to lose the name of Fahua Temple.Especially since she knows that some people here have already guessed her identity.

Qingli simply stopped, and the lotus platform carried her floating in the air.Qingli used a bit of the technique of a Buddhist lion's roar, clasped his hands together and bowed to the surroundings: "Amitabha, poor monk Fahua Temple's disciple Qingli, who is under the seat of Elder Liaoyuan, is here to pay homage to all seniors. This junior is anxious to meet his family members, so flying is quite difficult. Urgent. Please forgive me if it disturbs the cleansing of the donors."

Those who had just discovered their spiritual consciousness were shocked.What a keen sense of perception.Actually, even in the fifth level of Asking Buddha, I can sense their spiritual exploration.Should I say that he is worthy of being a disciple of Fahua Temple?

Of course, the Chen family heard Qingli's voice.Although they don't know the name of Prajna after entering the temple, let them remember the voice of their own Prajna.When the three of them heard that Prajna was coming, they opened the door excitedly, stood in the yard and looked up.

At this time, the leader of Qingyun Sect said: "Little master Qingli is being polite. If you want to say, we are the first to be rude. Since the little master is eager to meet his family, then we will not bother."

"Amitabha, thank you benefactors for your understanding." After Qingli finished speaking, she urged the lotus platform to fly to the Buddhist temple where the Chen family was.

As soon as Qingli got off the lotus platform, she saw three people from the Chen family looking at her with eager eyes.Qingli only felt a heat in her heart.It's just that she is now a monk and is no longer suitable to fall into the arms of her parents.Both sides looked excited.Qingli suppressed the excitement in her heart, put her hands together and bowed to the three of them: "Amitabha, Qingli has met all the donors."

Hearing Qingli's address to them, the excitement in the hearts of the three also cooled down.As early as when Qingli left home, they already knew that this would be the result of meeting again.It's just that at the end, everyone's mood is a little low.After all, the old lady Dai has experienced something.She quickly raised a smile and saluted: "Amitabha, little master, let's go into the house."

Qingli smiled and took her parents' hands into the Buddhist monastery.Feeling Qingli's warm little hand in his palm, the Chen family's couple no longer felt sad.

Qingli placed the packed ordinary spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables on the table: "The three donors are tired from the journey, so they must not have had dinner yet? The poor monk has packed some meals. Let the three donors use them for a while."

The Chen family happily picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat.But seeing that the meal was only for three people, Dai said, "Why don't young masters eat together?"

"I've already eaten. Donor, please eat slowly."

After the three of them had finished their dinner, Qingli started to reminisce with them.Chen Jianbang looked at Qingli and sighed: "Young master, I am really talented. However, in less than a year, my cultivation has already caught up with our couple. It is really the blessing of the Buddha, Amitabha."

Fahua has always kept no outsiders.Those who came to attend the Dharma Conference must leave the temple after the Dharma Conference is over.That's why Qingli took advantage of this time to come over to meet them.Qingli gave them the Buddhist scriptures she copied by hand.When Dai saw it, he took it with very respectful hands.She turned a page and felt warm when she saw the neat handwriting on it.

Qingli took out a dozen more peace talismans and handed them to them: "This is a peace talisman drawn by the poor monk. Although it is not as good as the one drawn by the master, it is my heart. Three of them are for the three benefactors. Please send the rest to the family of the benefactor Chen (brother Chen Jianbang) in the capital."

Mrs. Li first gave the three peace talismans to Mrs. Chen, her husband and herself respectively.The rest were placed in a wooden box and handed over to Dai for safekeeping.The family told each other about their situation after parting.Chen Bangjian thought for a while, and said to Qingli: "After you left, not long after Qingyun Sect came to the village to select disciples. Yang Ruoxi from the village head's family was selected away. I found that she has an inexplicable attachment to you. You will meet her in the future Be careful. I always think that girl is a bit evil."

Can it not be evil?But it’s the heroine in the original work.However, after listening to her father's words, Qingli knew that in a short period of time, the time traveler did not intend to give up on her as a gift boy.However, Qingli's status in this life is transcendent.Even if the heroine is still as lucky as in the original work, she is sure that she will not fall into the same situation as in the original work.However, she accepted her father's kindness and agreed wholeheartedly.

Because the Dharma conference on the second day actually started from the time of Chou.Qingli stayed in this small courtyard until dark and hurried back to the inner mountain.Before the ceremony, she had to take a shower and change clothes, and then go out with the senior brothers from the Qing generation.

The place where the puja will be held is on a large square on the mountain outside Fahua Temple.In the usually empty square stands a huge Buddha statue.There are four futons placed side by side under the Buddha statue.This is the seat of the four elders.Eighteen futons are then arranged behind these four futons.This is the location of all the monks of the Qing Dynasty who came to attend the Fa Conference.Immediately behind is the position of the constant character generation.The guests who came to attend the puja were seated around the futons of the monks.

At the time of Chou, melodious bells rang through the entire Fahua Mountains.Those who came to attend the puja had already sat on their futons.Qingli is the youngest junior sister in the Qing generation.But she has a special status, so she sits next to Qingtan in the middle of the row.

The Dharma meeting starts with worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures.Except for the monks from Fahua Temple, all the other monks who came to participate in the Dharma meeting were above the Hengzi generation.A group of great monks chanting scriptures together is very effective.Qingli knocked on the wooden fish and chanted scriptures, but found that the Buddha's energy in her body was running uncontrollably.All the Buddhist cultivators with profound mana chanted scriptures together, and the huge faith began to turn into a real golden light covering the entire square.Qingli also felt that part of the power of faith was transmitted to the pine forest and the apricot forest through the formation, and transformed into nourishment to nourish them.This may be one of the reasons why these Wannian spiritual plants can grow like their own orchards.

The guests present can also feel the benefits brought by Buddha's light.Ordinary people like Dai Shi who have no cultivation level just feel that their body is getting better.But those who practice are different.The leaders of the various sects have quite high cultivation bases, but they just feel that their cultivation bases have become more solid.And the juniors they brought are all the best among the new generation that the sect focuses on training.These people's cultivation bases are not very high, and most of them are in the late stage of Qi refining or foundation building.Under the bath of the Buddha's light, the cultivation of these people has more or less increased a lot.Instead, they were pleasantly surprised.This is also the reason why many people want to participate in the Fahua Temple Dharma Assembly.

After the chanting is over, it is the turn of the disciples of the Qing generation to give lectures.Although there are not many disciples of Fozong's Qing generation, there are also many.But not everyone needs to be present at every puja.Therefore, there are only 18 monks of the Qing generation here.Everyone will come forward to preach.

The so-called preaching here is actually to share your understanding and insights of a certain passage of scripture with everyone.As for what you can gain from it, it depends on your own understanding.Buddhist practices are all learned from scriptures.Therefore, most of the scriptures they often talk about are scriptures that carry their own practices.

The first person to come forward to preach was Fozi Qingtan.He was talking about a passage from the Buddha's Amitabha Sutra.Qingli sat there and listened with interest.But not everyone among the guests who were juniors from various sects could understand.Only a few caring people went out of their way to read a few scriptures after learning that they were going to attend the Dharma conference, and they could barely listen to it.Most people can only sit there and meditate with their eyes closed.On the other hand, those team leaders were able to derive it from the scriptures and apply it to their daily experiences and cultivation.

The monks of the Qing generation went forward to give lectures one by one, and Qingli felt that she had gained a lot.In her previous life, Qingli also listened to many eminent monks preaching scriptures.And she will also look up various scripture explanations through the Internet.But in the Brahma world, everyone's lectures will be based on their own experience in practice.It is another way of reading the scriptures.This made Qingli feel refreshed.

Qingli was the last to enter.She first saluted with her palms together, then sat on the futon and said, "Poor monk Qingli, the scriptures I'm talking about today are one of the Lotus Sutras of the Miaofa..."

Qingli first recited this scripture, and then began to explain this scripture based on her own cultivation experience and the explanations she heard in her previous life.The entire passage implements the thought of One Vehicle Buddhism.Those who have passed the seniority nod their heads from time to time, expressing their deep satisfaction.

When Qingli finished speaking, everyone stood up and began to worship the Buddha and recite the Buddha's name, Amitabha.Only then is the puja concluded.

The next morning, the guests started turning around.Fahua Temple gave each person three ten-thousand-year ginkgo fruit.Everyone who received this gift left happily.After Qingli learned about it, the corners of her mouth twitched.Although the ten-thousand-year ginkgo fruit has no effect against the sky.But it can be used as medicine and alchemy.It is one of the raw materials of many high-level elixirs.The most important thing is that even ordinary people can eat it.Everyone thought that the Wannian pine cones and apricots in Fahua Temple were too rare, so they gave them more Wannian ginkgo fruits.Little do they know that there are only five ginkgo trees in the temple.Only four to five thousand pieces of fruit are harvested every year.And they usually use part of alchemy as medicine, but most of them are stewed and drunk by them.

Qingli thought of these people happily holding the fruits, and felt a little pain in her conscience.Qingli looked at her senior brothers who looked great and upright, and lamented that she was still not at home yet in practice.
