Chapter 354: shi+nian sees Buddha!
Highrivers, thick clouds and lively wind
Thousand Buddha Temple is famous for its one thousand Buddha statues, with 999 statues of Buddha hidden between the mountainous forest and cliffs There are soe rocks, some raised peaks, and some thousand year old trees——some similar in shape, and some similar in expression It is different for each individual
Sightseeing, and looking for Buddhis to do after praying in the main hall
Moreover, looking for the Buddha statues extreht Some people had exhausted themselves to only find dozens of statues, and some had taken several months to find a few hundreds It is said that the faht, which caused a sensational in Tiandu However, having been cultivating up on White Cloud mountain for so many years, he still had not found the 1000th Buddha
Some people say that the 1000th Buddha statue is a cover, made up by the monks of Thousand Buddha Temple, in order to attract people to come and search out of curiosity
However, several hundreds of years later, a talented Buddhist monk Chu Fayin came to pay a visit to Buddha, and it only took him half a day to find all 999 Buddha statues, and then another half a day to find the final 1000th Buddha statue He at once abandoned his physical body and flew off as an immortal Under the witness of countless people he ascended into an i a miracle of the divine continent
It was at that time that the world believed that the monks of Thousand Buddha Temple did not lie, there are indeed 1000 Buddha statues on White cloud mountain
“Sister Xiaoxin, that big rock y belly, and that little stone is his head——”
“Sister Xiaoxin, do you think this tree looks like a Buddha? What kind of Buddha is it? It looks familiar——”
“Sister Xiaoxin, that is Xianglong Luohan, he’s so fierce——”
Li shi+nian and Cui Xiaoxin agreed to search for Buddha statues together They took Liulu and Taohong and headed to the back of theand discussing the signs of Buddha statues
Li shi+nian has an energetic personality, like a little pony, from time to time pointed to her discovery and shouted to Cui Xiaoxin
Cui Xiaoxin was following after her and s, and responded now and then
But soon, she could not smile anymore
Because Li shi+nian was too clever, and had such powerful perception
It should be said that, on this mountain, every tree, every rock, every waterfall and every lake could be a Buddha statue Some of the statues are quite obvious and anyone can discern thelance But some statues are hidden deep, mysterious and subtle, not anyone can find them
However, it was no obstacle to Li shi+nian As she walked, she exclai out the Buddhas that she had seen one by one, without a single mistake or omission
Cui Xiaoxin froun to read extensively
She was familiar with the scriptures of both Buddhise far exceeded that of Li shi+nian
However, she was not the first to notice Thousand Buddha Temple, she was not the first to find Buddhism connection——Many times it was because of Li shi+nian’s reminder that she came to spot the hidden Buddha statues
Cui Xiaoxin was a careful and intelligent girl, although she had no way to determine what this means, it was clear to her that the ability of Li shi+nian was extraordinary
“What is this Buddha? Seems like I had seen it on a mural before, but I can’t remember the name——”
“Wei tuo Bodhisattva” Cui Xiaoxin answered “
“Right, right That’s him And do you see that side of the cliff? The cliff and the bottom of the cold lake are connected, doesn’t it look like Manjusri Bodhisattva?”
“It is Manjusri Bodhisattva” Cui Xiaoxin replied In herthe number of Buddha statues that Li shi+nian had found, in such a short moment of time, she had found 167 statues already
This was because she alking too slowly, and held Li shi+nian back If she had let her walk alone, and not had to support her up the mountain, then this number would have been even more impressive
The famous Great master Fayin took half a day to find 999 Buddha statues, because he studied Buddhism and cultivates Buddhism, and associates himself with Buddhism all day He knows all the Buddhas like the back of his hand
But, Li shi+nian?
She couldn’t even nalance
Perhaps, this is what people call Buddhism connection?
Because of this connection she has a second sight, a power to perceive things
“Sister Xiaoxin, quickly look, which two Buddhas are they? It feels so strange——” Li shi+nian asked with a puzzled face, pointing to the roots of two thousand year old trees intertwined together
Cui Xiaoxin took a look and immediately blushed She shook her head and said: “I do not know There are so many Gods and Buddhas in the world that we don’t know their names”
“If they can become a Buddha, hoould they not have a name?” Li shi+nian still wouldn’t let Cui Xiaoxin off “Sister Xiaoxin, your knowledge is so profound, there is nothing you don’t know——think again I think these two Buddha statues are really strange You see theether, they look like a couple——but is there a couple in Buddhas?”
“shi+nian——” Cui Xiaoxin’s face grewhow to answer Li shi+nian’s question
“That is the joyful Buddha” A man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind
Cui Xiaoxin and Li shi+nian turned around to see Li shi+nian’s cart driver Li Mu and Cui fa toward them
Li Mu’s face ithout expression, his head held high While Cui Meng, as bigger in size, was cowering and evasive, and wished to cover his head with a large leaf
“Li Mu——Li Mu——don’t go over Do not disturb the two Young Miss——”Cui Meng hid behind Li Muyang, constantly persuading hio any closer
After they put down the
the luggage in the roo to do and since that the Thousand Buddha Teo Buddha statue searching up thefor Buddha, but he was interested in Li Muyang the ‘upstart’ who the Young Miss valued
So, Li Muyang, carrying sobll, took Cui Meng to find Buddha
They explored thefor the Buddha statues, and when they saw Cui Xiaoxin and Li shi+nian also in the search for Buddha statues, they did not go any closer, but carefully followed behind
Cui Meng was constantly dragging Li Muyang back, in case the Young Miss would not be pleased seeing the, with a fearless expression, when he heard Cui Xiaoxin was stumped by Li shi+nian’s question, he stepped out to answer, and even walked over to the two Young Miss with sobll
“What if Missthem?”
“What if Miss thinks us two rough fellows are disturbing their search for Buddha?”
Their Masters only need to say one word and they will be beaten till their skin torn and the flesh gapes open, and won’t be able to get up for 10 days to half a ret
Cui Meng was filled orries, but it did not affect Li Muyang’s decision
Li Muyang walked directly over to Cui Xiaoxin and Li shi+nian, looked at Li shi+nian and explained: “Miss, this Buddha is called Joy Buddha That is ‘Heavens of desire’ and ‘God of love’ in Buddhiss, the female body represents wisdoether, indicating that Buddhist teachings and wisdom form pairs, become one person, and that wisdom of Buddhism is infinite”
After listening to Li Muyang’s explanation, a blush rose to Li shi+nian’s pale cheeks
Although Li Muyang did not explain too clearly, but the word ‘joy’ was enough to represent a lot of things
Furtively glancing over at Cui Xiaoxin, she found that her face was also slightly red, staring at Li Muyang with bright eyes
Li shi+nian then understood that Sister Xiaoxin must have known the name of these two Buddhas, and was just too embarrassed to say it
So, Li shi+nian deliberately pretended to be angry, pointing at Li Muyang and yelling, “How dare you ar There is no such Buddha? You ht? How dare you tarnish the name of Buddha”
“shi+nian——” Cui Xiaoxin interrupted “He is right”
“What is right? How could there be such a Buddha?”
“The teachings of the Buddha contain myriad, because the heart sees Buddha, there are no boundaries”
