The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Zheng Jiaxing said: "I want to bet against it. Let's take ourselves as an example and publicize it in various villages. I hope that everyone will not fall into that pit."

"You can think that way, and I'm happy. You go, I support you in everything you do." Li Na smiled.

"Dad, I support you too!" Zheng Xiaoyu called.

"Son, you have finally grown up ..." Zheng Huo sighed ...

...

But at this moment, Fang Zheng had already returned to Yizhishan for a long time, eating and reading the scriptures. When he was okay, he called a few disciples to talk about the scriptures. As for the incense and the like, Founder is already worried about it. Everyone comes every day, and the incense is never broken.

The only thing that upset Founder was that he had done so many things, why didn't one cause a social sensation?

Yiwei cross the river? Being treated as a liar.

Lotus tongue? No one mentioned at all!

After a bunch of fake charity, nobody seems to be interested.

Now the mountain has solved the gambling tumor, the police have arrested people, the incident has been in the news, and it seems that it has nothing to do with him!

...

Founder knows that what he did is too incredible. Some insiders did not speak out because of his kindness; occasionally, some outsiders said that because no insider came out to testify, it became false propaganda, except for those nearby. There are more people who scold him farther away. In this way, although he has done a lot, but he really does not know who he is.

Fang Zheng was lying on the wall every day, staring at the arrival of a large number of pilgrims. As a result, hey ...

"System, my temple, when can I upgrade? The incense is so strong, isn't it worse than Hongyan Temple, right?" Fang Zheng asked.

"Does your temple upgrade, what does it have to do with me?" The system asked.

"No ... don't you care about this?"

"You said before that there is a difference in the size of the temple? It is only a rite of worship, and the size of the temple determines the size of the temple. What do you care about the size of the temple so much?" The system asked.

Founder was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I don't care about the size of the temple, but the one-finger dad was very concerned about it. His biggest dream was to develop the one-finger temple into a premier temple! At that time, didn't you say it ... "

"I said to help you become a master, and the temple has become the largest temple. Is your temple small now? People do n’t add value because they live in the mountains, but the mountains add value because of the high people. Since ancient times I only heard about the mountain that is famous because of people. I have never heard of a person that is famous because of a mountain. "System Road.

Founder Dao: "I understand all of this, but ..." But after a long while, Founder suddenly found out, did he also understand the meaning of a Zen master? What he said is not big, architecturally? Not many monks? But ...

Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he asked a finger of a Zen master. At that time, a local tyrant wanted to expand a few temples in the monastery, but a finger of a Zen master refused. Founder thought at that time and asked, "Master, for Why refuse? Our broken houses are all demolished, isn't it good to change them? The temples are so big, and ours are too small. "

One fingered Zen master shook his head and said, "It is a curse to have money and no morality. It is a curse to yourself and also to others. The Buddhist dharma practice, self virtue, and merit of the world are not enough. I'm afraid it can't be calm. Founder, remember, everything is empty, everything you see is empty, when you leave that day, you can't take anything away. Only the thing in your heart is true, you Your heart is big, and the temple is big. The temple in your heart is big, and it ’s raining, so you are eligible to guard a larger temple. The heart is still in place, and I will give you a mountain and an imperial palace. It's just a bigger cage. "

Founder heard this at the time and couldn't understand it. Later, he realized that some of the temples, regardless of their size, were most sincere. But now it seems that the meaning of this sentence is not limited to this ... The temple is not impossible, but it must be matched by virtue.

With this in mind, Founder nodded silently and understood his future struggle. Self-cultivation, external merit, and growing together are the king.

Having figured everything out, the idea has been reached, and Founder's heart is also extremely comfortable, laughing: "System, three mission rewards have been accumulated, draw, I start looking forward to this reward."

"Do you want to smoke now?" The system asked.

"Yes!" Founder was very sure.

"Ding! Congratulations on getting the Buddha Gate, Morning Bell!" Said the system.

When Founder heard it, he suddenly exulted. What is the sign of a temple, a temple? No, Chen Zhong Mu Gu is! No matter in ancient times or modern times, often the temple is not seen but the bells and drums are heard. Morning bells and twilight drums have also become a kind of code for temples and Taoist temples. When you hear this voice, there are mostly temples or Taoist temples nearby.

The bell, a native of China, began in the government and was later used by Buddhism and Taoism. However, their uses are different in each other.

In Taoism, the bell is called the Tao Bell. In addition to its usefulness as a time signal, it is also a magical instrument and architectural decoration. In many famous Taoist temples, there are big bells hanging high! Its existence can make the Taoist temple appear more solemn, solemn, and inviolable. It is not only the most iconic worship tool, but also considered to have the effect of removing evil spirits and evil spirits. It is one of the most important magical tools of Taoism. . Therefore, Taoism is also called Fa Zhong and Fa Ling. The large Taoist temples all have bell towers. Every morning there are rituals of morning bells and twilights. Attention, practitioners should be diligent and diligent, be brave and enterprising, don't take it easy, and relax yourself.

"Taoshu Aids to God" said: "Ancient sacrifices for music have bells and chimes, each with sixteen, in response to the twelve rhythms and the silent voice of the fourth house. There are also special hanging bells, special hanging bells, special hanging bells, and unique hanging bells. Also. The case of Jindong and Jade in Jindong, as well as the big bell and so on, are all here. ”There is also a scripture:“ Morning Bell and Drum Drum, to call Bailing, is the majestic view of the Zhuang Palace, the weather of Hongshan Mausoleum must be dawn every morning, not mistaken". The monks respect and respect the bell and bells. Hearing the bell sound, deep and clear, knocking on the confusion of sentient beings, "the upper world bell sounds the lower world smell", "the sound of a bell ringer wakes up."

In Buddhism, the bell is given another meaning.

The bell of the Buddhist gate is called the Buddha bell. In many famous temples, there are bell towers and drum towers on the left and right sides of the main hall. The bells and drums are respectively called "left bell and right drum".

Most of the bells in the temple are knocked once in the morning and evening, unlike in other places, they only ring the bells in the morning and only drums in the evening. The temples must be knocked, each time with 108 consecutive hits. Temple bells are just one of them, and more importantly, they alert the world. Buddhism believes that “smelling the sound of Zhong Ling can produce kindness and can increase righteous thoughts” and “Hong Zhongzhen's consciousness can be heard in all directions, and the sound can be heard in all directions”. The Buddhist teaching teaches people to be good and to promote sentient beings. The practitioner should promote the Dharma. Not only do you have to be conscious of yourself, but you also need to help others and even all sentient beings to realize that they can be freed from suffering. Therefore, there is another saying: "Big bell, the jungle command Zizi also. Xiaoxiao breaks the night, the police sleep, and dusk strikes feel faint and sparse."
