At the beginning of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I can transfer experience

Chapter 64 Refuge
In the hall, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Seeing that no one spoke, the abbot looked at everyone and asked, "You have something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence for a long time. The abbot looked around and said, "Should the number one thief go or stay?"

Kong Kong's body trembled when he heard the words, and he heard the hidden meaning of the abbot's words.

go?Or stay?Does the implication mean that he intends to save the life of the first thief?
When he first faced Kong Xiang, they were so "magnanimous" in letting go of the warning. At that time, he felt both lucky and sad. But now that he had experienced it again, his heart was full of sadness.

"Brother Abbot, the number one thief is so full of evil that he cannot stay or go." Finally there was a response, and it was Kong Kong who spoke.

After hearing this, the abbot asked: "Then what do you think?"

"Amitabha, my Buddha even has the angry-eyed Vajra." Kong Kong replied.

King Kong killed people with angry eyes. Everyone heard the meaning of the void and fell into silence for a while.

"Junior Brother Kongshan, although my Buddha has the angry-eyed Vajra, I also have the Bodhisattva with low eyebrows, and God has the virtue of a good life. Now that the first thief has repented, why don't we give him a chance to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"

Seeing that no one was speaking, Sorayama said calmly. His eyes were focused and he made a compassionate gesture, echoing the words, like a Bodhisattva.

"Absurd!" Kong Kong showed dissatisfaction after hearing this, "Opportunities are reserved for people, not animals!"

Kong Shan was not angry either: "All living beings are equal."

"Senior Brother Kongshan, if a person like the First Thief who has done many evil things is allowed to become a Buddha immediately, how can we face those innocent people who died tragically at the hands of Lianyun's Eighteen Thieves?" the leader of the Confession Hall said quietly.

"Junior brother, don't forget that the first thief has killed the remaining thugs, which is an explanation to them. From now on, chanting sutras and chanting Buddhas should be regarded as atonement." Kongshan replied.

"How does senior brother know that what this person said is true?" Kong Kong asked.

Kongshan lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Amitabha, of course I don't know, but if my junior brother doesn't believe it, I can show him evidence and stop him from thinking about it."

Empty was suddenly speechless.

A debate started in front of many Buddha statues about whether to accept the first thief's escape into Buddhism. Chen Shuai never imagined that the confusion that Jiezhi had at the time was now bloody in front of everyone. The problems they had to face were bigger than Jiezhi is more complicated.

The three leaders, represented by Kong Shan, believed that the first thief was quite repentant, and whether he voluntarily returned the Arhat's demon-subduing magical power or eradicated the other robbers, they were all sincere.

The three leaders, represented by Kong Kong, believed that instead of keeping the first thief, they wanted to kill him. Even though he personally said that he had never touched a drop of innocent blood on his hands, the karma should be on him, and the karma would increase. The body is hard to blame.

The three leaders, represented by Kong Shui, remained silent, neither supporting nor agreeing, and obeyed the abbot's decision in everything.

The two sides argued for nearly an hour, each with red faces but still unable to come to a conclusion. Whether it was an empty mountain or a emptiness, each had their own reasons.

"All right."

After everyone had calmed down for a moment, the abbot, who had been silent all this time, spoke, interrupting the argument between the two parties. After hearing the voice, everyone couldn't help but look at the abbot.

"Okay, let's end this matter. If the number one thief sincerely regrets, then let him stay."

In the end, the abbot concluded the coffin and gave both parties a buffer zone. As long as the first thief truly repented, Futu Temple would let him stay. "May I ask the abbot, how do you know if the other person is truly repentant?"

They don't have his psychic ability and can't see through people's hearts. Besides, the other party is also the notorious number one thief and the city is very deep. Even if they have his psychic ability, they may not be able to see through it.

The abbot shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the hall. Everyone saw what happened and followed him closely.

A group of people found the first thief, who was sitting cross-legged, facing the Buddha statue and reciting scriptures, with a pious face and a humble attitude.

"First thief, do you sincerely repent?" the abbot came to the first thief and asked.

Upon hearing this, the first thief quickly bowed his head: "Abbott, of course the first thief sincerely regrets and does not dare to deceive anything."

"If you sincerely repent, are you willing to give up all your cultivation?" the abbot continued.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect the abbot to say these words. Cultivation at one's own expense is a cruel thing for any warrior.

Wonderful!

After being surprised, Kongshan gave the abbot a thumbs up in his heart. If the number one thief was unwilling to abandon his cultivation, how could he sincerely repent?If he is willing to abandon his cultivation, then it will not be unpopular if the Buddha Temple accepts him. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Kong Shan could think of this, and so could Kong. He opened his mouth, but stopped talking, and then looked at the first thief. He didn't think the other party would agree to the abbot so easily.

But what he didn't expect was that after a short period of daze, the first thief immediately dissipated all his cultivation in front of everyone. In just a moment, everyone noticed that the first thief's aura was weakening, and all his cultivation was gone in one instant. accumulated over the years.

The speed was so fast and the movements were so decisive, even the abbot was a little surprised. After checking it, he nodded: "Not bad."

This sentence can be regarded as a perfect end to the first thief's San Gong. The other party's ability to do so decisively is enough to prove that he is sincere and the Buddha Temple will naturally accept it.

After thinking for a moment, the abbot looked at Kong Yun and said, "Now that he has lost his cultivation, he will be placed in your confession hall to repent for the rest of his life."

"Brother Abbot, although this person has abandoned his cultivation, he has never studied Buddhism thoroughly. Why not settle him in Bodhi Court and study Buddhism intensively?" Kong Yun said.

Hearing this, Kong Kong couldn't help but look at Kong Yun, and saw that the other person looked serious and didn't look like he was joking.

After hearing this, the abbot thought that Kong Yun had finally enlightened, so he nodded and said: "In that case, then I will follow what you said."

But before he and Kong Kong decided on the matter, Kong Yun continued: "But if you want to enter the Bodhi Courtyard, you need to pass an examination. This is the rule of Futu Temple. If this person fails the examination, I am afraid that he will not be able to worship in the Bodhi Courtyard." , you say that’s right, Senior Brother Kong Kong?”

Before the abbot and Kong Shan could speak, Kong Kong quickly reacted and clasped his hands together: "What Junior Brother Kong Yun said is absolutely true."

The smile on the abbot's face froze, and he finally understood. It turned out that Kong Yun had set a trap for him here, and neither of them wanted to accept the first thief in their own hall.

He felt a little helpless in his heart and looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately Kongshan said in time: "Then let the first thief try. If he passes the test, Junior Brother Kongyun will have nothing to say, right?"

Kong Kong and Kong Yun did not speak, but looked at the abbot. Seeing this scene, the abbot readily agreed and asked the two to take the first thief to assess, and the abbot and others followed.

An hour later, Kong Kong walked out expressionlessly. The results of the assessment came out. The first thief finally passed the assessment. After learning the result, the abbot made the final decision to let the first thief stay in Bodhi Courtyard and gave him the Buddhist title Abstain from sin.
