Ghost Li, or the Zhang Xiao Fan at that tiain entered into that small house where PuZhi holy ain, during this period, nothing stirred in the s Master had once came to the s tihed and left
Only FaXiang, ever since he saw Ghost Li entering that house, he had been standing outside in the courtyard, with astonishi+ng patience waited
nobody knew, the reason why FaXiang stood there but including PuHong Master, the other Tian Yin Te too, stood there by hi
The re west side of the sunset sky red, watching froht at the edge of the clouds, very beautiful The heaven and earth’s beauty, actually has always been beside, only whether do you see it or not, whether do you have the heart to or not
FaXiang gazed far into the sunset, staring blankly, standing for a day and night, his fine and delicate face did not seeue, instead in his clear gaze, glilint
“What are you looking at?” Suddenly, a voice rang out frohts, saw that PuHong Master had arrived at the courtyard again, standing beside hi at him
FaXiang clasped his hands together and replied, “Replying to teacher, disciple is looking at the sunset glow in the west, suddenly was enlightened and was lost in the thoughts, didn’t realize that teacher is here, neglected teacher”
PuHong Master smiled and said, “Trivial customs and etiquette, don’t have to mind, I wonder frohtened?”
FaXiang hesitated for a ht, watched the stars at night and saw the blue sky in the day, until thisin the east, only the re the west sky Couldn’t help but feel sorrow, life is just like that, time is just like that, all creations in heaven and earth are just like that, disciple for abetween this Heaven and Earth, anificantly s?”
PuHong Master nodded and said, “Your intelligence indeed surpassed others, disciple The living things in this heaven and earth, each and every of the, in the end unable to violate God’s will You are able to co of the sun, it is already a”
FaXiang respectfully bowed to PuHong Master, said, “Thank you teacher for your praise, disciple dare not Just that although disciple has coger Disciple don’t understand, although one’s fate is destined, all creations in the end ither and fall, these countless led in this world grudges and affections, what is it for? Buddha said to deliver all living creatures fro creatures can break the cycle of sa creaturesto be delivered by Buddha, why is this so? Could it be that the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west said by Buddha, no resents no desire, can’t actually attract the uide me”
Speaking, FaXiang bent his head low, clasped his palether and chanted
PuHong Master watched FaXiang for a long while, slowly nodded, a smile revealed on his face but he did not answer iazing in just now, the west sunset, after watching it for a moment, said, “What you have just seen, is it this sunset in the west?”
FaXiang said, “Yes, disciple saw ti in the west, tirieved and perplexed, therefore seek teacher’s advice”
PuHong Master smiled and said, “In just ato set coer be seen”
FaXiang felt slightly puzzled, not knohat PuHong Master ht”
PuHong Master watched the west horizon, saw the sun slowly setting, the sky turning darker, dusk gradually approaching, indifferently said, “The evening sun is heartless, , are you still able to see the rising sun?”
FaXiang’s body shook, his heart seemed to be moved, for the
PuHong Master turned and looked at FaXiang, a faint smile on his face, he did not speak anymore
The sky gradually darkened, the evening sun finally disappeared coht ht like water, illu onto the mortal world
In the night scene, Tian Yin Teh no longer as bustling and lively like in the day but it had another kind of silent tranquil beauty
And the Little Tian Yin Temple on Mt Meru, in that small tiny courtyard, teacher and disciple were silent, quietly stood in the courtyard, in the ently blew past and ruffled the corners of their clothes, quietly stood
For an unknown length of tiradually moved to the center of the sky, in the quiet shter was heard
FaXiang had delight on his face, stepped forward a few steps, walked to the middle of the small courtyard, lifted his head and looked at thedirectly on his bluish white monk robe, as if like frost
FaXiang laughed, turned around, kneeled down before PuHong Master who had been sether bowed and said, “Many thanks for teacher’s guidance, disciple comprehended”
PuHong Master eyes were full of gratification, looking at the disciple kneeling before hi cultivated to the realm where he reenuine happiness still shown on his face He stretched his hand and gently patted FaXiang’s head, said three words in succession
“Good!”
“Good!”
“Good!”
“You are naturally gifted, rarely seen in the world but even more importantly, is your attitude towards Buddhist philosophy and logic, you have another level of wisdo the four of us, actually your PuZhi teacher uncle was the brightest, pity although he was intelligent but he chose the wrong path, delayed his Buddhist studies, wishfully sought for what longevity, eventually met with such a bad end Today you are able to coood fortune, it is also our Tian Yin Temple’s fortune!”
FaXiang was stunned, raised his head and looked at PuHong Master, said, “Teacher, what do you mean by that, disciple do not quite understand?”
PuHong Master shook his head, first extended his hand to support FaXiang up, then the delight on his face gradually faded, faintly said, “These past years, your teacher ht is held up by secular tasks, as for Buddhist studies and comprehension, came to a standstill, instead held this secular undeserved reputation in vain, the struggles and fights for half a century, I actually can’t give it up That year when your PuZhi teacher uncle passed away, teacher me wanted to retire fro this inheritance froh it is mere worldly possession but eventually can’t abandon it casually Now that there is you, teacher me can leave in peace”
FaXiang was shocked, his face turned pale, he had just stood up and iain, hurriedly said, “Teacher, what are you talking about, how can Tian Yin Temple leave you, ht, listen to your teachings Only beg teacher you must must not abandon disciple and the people of Tian Yin Te, he koed unceasingly
PuHong Master laughed in spite of hihed and said, “Foolish child, foolish child, hoould there be a banquet that would never disperse in this world? But teacher’s seclusionthat can be done in these days, you don’t have to panic, I have to settle everything properly, I can too set my mind at rest”
FaXiang was tearful but eventually he knew PuHong Master’s desire to retire was so he could not stop, fortunately like what his teacher said, although he wanted to but it was not that urgent, when there is a chance in the future, he would just have to try to persuade his teacher Thinking about that, his tears then stopped, stood aside
PuHong Master lifted his head and looked at the sky, saw thetio in and look at that little patron!”
FaXiang was taken aback, said, “What?”
PuHong Master indifferently said, “The rights and wrongs, gratitudes grudges feelings and enmities, no matter what, eventually it needs to end”
After speaking, without further words, he headed to that s slowly followed behind him, watched that door came nearer and nearer, for some reason, he started to feel nervous
A day and a night already, during that ti PuZhi teacher uncle, what exactly had Ghost Li done?
