Chapter 136
"You're welcome, that's right. Well, I'll put on the incense sticks, and then I have to rush back. If you're busy, master, just go ahead and don't worry about me." After Hu Tan finished speaking, he entered the Buddhist hall. When he looked up, he found that
The Buddha statue is gone, but there is a golden painting. The two Bodhisattvas on it are both Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Since the last incident, Hu Tan deliberately supplemented his knowledge of Buddhism and knew that this is the Thousand-Hands and Thousand-Eyes Guanyin. It has great supernatural powers and can handle more things than the Guanyin who gives birth to children. Hu Tan is not greedy and prays silently, hoping that he and Guanyin will be together.
My family was safe, I burned a stick of ordinary incense and left.
Fang Zheng saw Hu Tan off and then opened the envelope. What was inside was not a letter, but an invitation.
When he opened it, Fang Zheng was stunned...
"Baiyun Temple is going to hold a blessing ceremony at the beginning of next month, and you invite me?" Fang Zheng was really surprised!
Baiyun Temple is a medium-to-large temple, covering a large area and located on Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Temple holds many Dharma gatherings every year, almost every month. But every year, the Dharma gathering after the New Year is the largest and most grand.
This time, it was called the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony.
This puja is to pray for people all over the world, so one temple cannot bear the consequences, and often invites other temples to organize it. All organized temples will have rosters printed on them, and large posters will be hung outside. In this way
Nowadays, whether it is the news media or lay people and pilgrims who attend Dharma gatherings, they will see these posters, which promote the reputation of various temples.
It can be said that any temple that can enter Baiyun Temple for the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony is like a formal temple that is officially recognized and issued a certificate. And those who are not qualified to go are like wild temples. Although they didn't say it, they don't either.
I think that is the correct perception. But that’s how the world is. Baiyun Temple didn’t invite you. Do you have the nerve to say that you are from a temple? It’s a lie, right? A liar?
This is the influence of Baiyun Temple!
It is precisely because of these benefits that countless temples compete to participate in Baiyun Temple's annual Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony. However, Zen Master Baiyun of Baiyun Temple is not a utilitarian person. Under normal circumstances, no matter how big or small the temple is, as long as he knows
Basically, they will send out invitations. Therefore, Zen Master Baiyun is respected by people throughout Heishan City, and no one will judge his character.
However, the original Yizhi Temple did not have this treatment. After all, it was too remote. In addition, the Yizhi Zen Master was low-key, so Baiyun Temple did not know about the existence of the Yizhi Temple. Therefore, the Yizhi Temple had never received any greetings.
Invitation to the blessing ceremony.
Thinking of this time of year, Zen Master Yi Zhi looked in the distance and murmured in the direction of Baiyun Temple, silently helping to pray and recite sutras. Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Dad Yi Zhi, you have never been there before. This time, we are invited. You
It’s time to be happy, right? Haha..."
Fang Zheng smiled slightly and put away the invitation. The Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony is next month. There is still half a month left, so he is not in a hurry.
In the following period, Fangzheng cleaned the Buddhist hall, chanted sutras, wrote, walked the dog, and played with squirrels every day. He lived a relaxed and comfortable life...
But some people felt uncomfortable.
"What? Baiyun Temple invited Yizhi Temple to participate in the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony?" Wu Ming looked at the monk in front of him in shock and asked.
"Senior brother, the news I just received has been confirmed. It is indeed an invitation. I know you are not getting along with Yizhidao, so I came to inform you as soon as possible." Hongxiang said.
"Hongxiang, you have done well, and it will benefit you in the future. This matter will end with me, don't tell anyone, you know? Especially Senior Brother Wu Xin, this person is too honest and has always been prejudiced against me.
, it’s easy to get into trouble." Wu Ming warned.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I'm with you. Senior brother Wu Xin is too stubborn." Hongxiang assured him, patting his chest.
Wu Ming nodded, thinking about how to deal with Fang Zheng's problem. He suffered defeat from Fang Zheng twice in a row, especially the last time, when he was scolded by Fang Zheng in front of so many people and lost all face. This revenge must be avenged!
At this moment, Hongxiang whispered: "Senior Brother Wuming, in fact, it is not difficult to deal with Fang Zheng."
"Oh? What can you do? Tell me!" Wu Ming's eyes lit up and he asked.
Hongxiang came over and whispered: "Baiyun Temple is located on Baiyun Mountain. Although Baiyun Mountain belongs to Changbai Mountain, it is a mountain in the river. The mountain is surrounded by rivers all year round. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to take a ferry...%#%¥#
@”
When Wu Ming heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "This is good, this is good... Humph, then Fang Zheng will definitely lose his face. Let's see what kind of face he still has to attend the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony! Maybe when he comes back, his heart will explode."
, directly returned to secular life. Haha..."
Fang Zheng didn't know that someone was plotting against him, and he still lived peacefully.
Occasionally, pilgrims go up the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings.
There is no time in the mountains, and half a month passed in a flash. Seeing that the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony was about to begin, Fang Zheng had to go down the mountain and ask Wang Yougui for help.
"What? Baiyun Temple invites you to attend the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony?" When Wang Yougui heard this, he became extremely excited.
Fang Zheng grinned, why did he think Wang Yougui was happier than him? Who is the abbot here?
When Wang Yougui saw Fang Zheng nodding, he laughed and said: "This is a good thing! What a great thing, you are really going to be famous for pointing the temple! If it can become a tourist attraction, the city will give you some support.
Our village will follow suit, haha..."
Fang Zheng was immediately speechless. Sure enough, the village chief was the village chief, and what he was thinking in his mind was not on the same line as him.
"Okay, don't worry. During the time you are away, I will have people take turns to help you look after the temple. I guarantee that when you come back, it will be spotless and not a hair will be lost." Wang Yougui promised, patting his chest.
With Wang Yougui's guarantee, Fang Zheng felt relieved. Wang Yougui asked Fang Zheng again if the money for going out was enough and not enough for him to give. Although Fang Zheng wanted it very much, the money was not money for incense and he couldn't accept it, so he had to decline politely.
. Carrying a bag, he left the village. In the bag was food rations for him on the way to Baiyun Temple. He was so poor that he probably couldn't afford a restaurant.
After leaving the village, Fang Zheng finally embarked on the journey to Baiyun Temple. As for the squirrel and the lone wolf, they both stayed in the temple to look after their homes.
This is the first time that Fang Zheng has gone to such a far place alone since he grew up. He is a little scared, but when he thinks about the place he is about to go, he is a little excited. The only thing he worries about is that he doesn’t have much money...
There is a shuttle bus in Yizhi Village. The bus is from the next village. It goes to and from several villages every day, and then drives to Songwu County. It is sent back together in the afternoon. There is only one bus a day. If you get up early, you can take it. If you get up late, you can only wait until tomorrow.
.
Fang Zheng got on the shuttle bus, and there were all acquaintances in the car. Everyone was familiar with Fang Zheng, and they chatted animatedly...
