Chapter 538 (1/2)
Jingci temple is located on the South Bank of the West Lake, under the Huiri peak of Nanping mountain and opposite the Leifeng Tower. It was built by Qian Hongxu of the Wu Yue State of the Five Dynasties for the eminent monk Yongming Zen master. Later, it was renamed Jingci temple. Because the bell sounded loud in the temple, the ”Nanping evening bell” became one of the ”ten scenic spots of the West Lake”. Because it is close to the city and close to the lake, the government attached great importance to it. There are a large number of eminent monks. It is also a big temple with strong incense and 500 arhat halls, Arhats of different forms are enshrined with great momentum.
However, the monks here are no different from others. Most of them are not friars. They have swept away their magic tricks. Occasionally, one or two friars are not worth mentioning.
But because there are many eminent monks and exquisite Buddhism, there is no fear of demons and ghosts. Even because of the perennial worship of the Buddha and the protection of the Buddha arhat, the Buddhist implements carried all year round also have the effect of suppressing demons and ghosts.
When he arrived at Jingci temple, he handed an ultimatum to the Zhike monk and was soon invited into Jingci temple.
”But younger martial brother Fayuan of Jinshan Temple?” Entering the main hall, an old monk with white men and women asked.
Fahai often comes to Jingci temple to give lectures. He is no stranger to the name of Fayuan.
”Fa yuan of Jinshan Temple has seen the abbot!” Strange tricks make a gift.
”Elder martial brother Fahai asked you to come, but what happened?” Asked the abbot of Jingci temple.
”Just because someone came to Jinshan Temple to pray recently, senior brother Fahai couldn't come. I'm here to explain why.” The trick replied, ”this is elder martial brother Fahai's calligraphy. Please have a look at it.”
Trick to take out Fahai's letter.
In a moment, the abbot of Jingci Temple saw it.
”I already know the whole story. Elder martial brother Fahai asked younger martial brother to preach on his behalf. Can younger martial brother know?” The old abbot asked.
”I'm afraid that the little monk's Dharma is shallow and makes a fool of himself in front of the great virtues of your temple.” Said the trick.
”Younger martial brother, don't be too modest. Jinshan and Jingci are all from their own families. Since elder martial brother Fahai recommended younger martial brother, I believe he won't be wrong.” The old abbot said, ”well, after five days, on March 3, during the Qingming Festival, younger martial brother opened a forum to lecture.”
”Now, please bear more.” The trick is no longer polite.
It's not his first time to be a monk. The divine carving world has read countless Buddhist scriptures, not limited to esoteric scriptures, but also classics such as Zen, Faxiang and pure land. When he returns to the real world to practice his mind, he often reads Buddhist scriptures.
Although the world is an intermediate world and the Dharma has transcendent power, the content of the Scriptures is also similar. I don't worry about being timid when I come on stage.
Even if someone disagrees and argues in public, he can deal with it calmly.
However, the Tomb Sweeping Day on March 3 seems to be the time when Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian first met. Will it be this year?
Calculate the time, Xu Xian is eighteen or nine years old.
If it is this year, Bai Suzhen should have arrived in Hangzhou.
But there is still a question about the trick. If Bai Suzhen came to Hangzhou under the guidance of Guanyin, how did she show her miracles in the world in an era when there was no access to heaven and the underworld was not visible, and in an era when there was only four turns of robbery?
There are also Fahai's pill given by the Jade Emperor, black and white impermanence, and the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun
The plot of white snake is somewhat high-end, which seems difficult to fit in with the world.
After all, this is really not the story of Liaozhai.
However, when I first came to Jingci temple, I would open a forum to preach scriptures in five days. It was not a good trick to go out casually, so I had to put it down for the time being.
……
On March 3, when the Deacon monk guided him to the square in front of the Da Xiong Bao hall, he saw a crowded square.
It is an open activity for the eminent monks of Jinshan Temple to give lectures at Jingci temple. Not only the monks of Jingci temple and surrounding temples, but also many good men and women come to listen.
If it were not for the Qingming Festival today, it is estimated that there would be more people.
As usual, Qiji ascended the Dharma altar and faced the people.
”Little monk, Fayuan of Jinshan Temple, first came to Baodi to preach scriptures. If there is anything wrong, please forgive your senior brothers and tanyue Haihan.”
