Chapter 64 The Honest MonkNo, isn’t this the great devil’s “Nai” seriousness?
Yes, is this what you mean?
Shi Feizhe was completely numb!
He froze as if he had been hit by a bolt of lightning.
Damn, why are the monks in this world so coquettish!
"The great demon is present in every corner of the realm of form, not only among men but also among women and among all sentient beings."
"Therefore, the Buddha set down the precepts for us to follow. We must abstain from sex, killing, drinking, and eating meat, but he left us the grass of wisdom so that we can comprehend Prajna!"
"May Buddha have mercy on me! Namo Amitabha!"
"Donors don't want the wisdom grass. As long as you show your sincerity to the Buddha, I will share the wisdom grass with you for free." After smoking a cigarette, the monk said to Shi Feizhe with anticipation on his face.
"..."
Damn it, you bald donkey are still selling cigarettes!
Hiss... Tobacco is a highly profitable industry, no wonder all the bald donkeys in the world are so rich.
"Monk! Other monks wear gold and silver and build big temples, why are you so poor?" Shi Feizhe did not respond to him, but teased him instead.
"Because I am an honest monk."
"How can an honest person say that he is honest?"
"Other brothers are good at boasting, but I am not good at talking, so I am poor."
"Who is Faluo?" Shi Feizhe said.
Now that he knows that all the bald men in this world are idiots, Shi Feizhe won't pretend anymore!
He decided to treat others with sincerity. He is also a veteran driver!
He has seen more jokes than Bald Donkey has seen Buddhist scriptures.
"..."
Liaochen was stunned by Shi Feizhe's question.
After a while, he honestly said, "The Golden Light Sutra, Chapter of Praise, says: 'Blow the great Dharma conch, beat the great Dharma drum, light the great Dharma torch, and the rain is better than the Dharma rain.'"
"So, the conch is not someone!"
"Oh!" Shi Feizhe looked at the bald man's formal answer and felt bored, so he prepared to continue regulating his breathing and true energy.
The key to martial arts is persistence, and the key is every little bit of every day, which will then converge into a sea!
"Donor!" In the darkness, Lechen sat on the door frame for a long time and suddenly spoke.
"Ok?"
"You are not one of my monks, so you must have seen women before." Liaochen said hesitantly, "Is Xi Nai really happy?"
"Oh?" Shi Feizhe looked up at the honest monk and said, "Why don't you try it yourself."
"Buddha doesn't allow it!" Lechen shook his head and said.
"That's right. How can you have both in this world? You can live up to the Tathagata and you can live up to your lover!" Shi Feizhe said, "Since you have become a monk, don't think about these things. Haven't you heard that some of those who have many wives and concubines also became monks?"
"The donor is wrong!" said the honest monk, shaking his head.
"Where's the mistake!"
"There is a way to achieve both in this world, to live up to the Tathagata and to live up to your lover!"
"Then why don't you go and fix it?"
"But I have to be exploded by them first! I cannot bear this kind of pain."
"Huh?" Shi Feizhe was stunned.
What do you mean?
"The senior brother from the Jianse Sect has also come here to hang up his sign." Lechen said honestly.
A small place like yours is worthy of being called a hang order?
And you, a monk, have actually seen the evil monk from the Jianse Sect, and you still have the right to say that you are an honest man!
"Don't you think it's not worth it to get exploded just for the sake of absorbing it?" Shi Feizhe pondered for a moment and guessed the hidden meaning of Chen's words.
"Amitabha! I am devoted to Buddhism!" Liaochen chanted the Buddha's name in the darkness and denied it.
"Hehe..." Shi Feizhe laughed, not intending to pay attention to this honest monk who said one thing and thought another. "Secondly, those who have many wives and concubines become monks not just for the sake of becoming monks." Liaochen saw that Shi Feizhe did not speak, but continued:
"I heard from my senior brother from the White Bone Sect that those people are monks called Mojie, who are monks who live at home."
White Bone Sect? You, a monk, know a lot of people!
Of course, it is also possible that the inns in Kongtong Mountain are too expensive.
"Monk Mojie?" Shi Feizhe asked.
"The Vimalakirti Sutra says that Vimalakirti was a wealthy man from Vaisali in ancient India. He had a fortune and many servants. However, he studied diligently and practiced sincerely. He was able to stay in the state without dwelling on it, and to be in the state without being affected by it. He achieved the holy fruit and was called a bodhisattva."
"Mojie monk is a monk who practices at home in the style of Vimalakirti," Liaochen explained.
"I am wealthy, I have many wives and concubines, I am a slut, but am I a good bodhisattva?" Shi Feizhe couldn't help but say.
"Uh... the donor is truly a wise man." Liaochen did not expect that Shi Feizhe could sum up Vimalakirti in just one sentence.
"What great wisdom, but I've seen a lot of green tea."
"Donor! There is something I don't understand. I beg you to help me solve this puzzle."
Maybe it was because I hadn’t talked so much to someone in a long time, or maybe it was because I had a very good chat with Shi Feizhe.
Liaochen expressed his doubts: "Although this temple is small, every brick was obtained by begging. Every beam was cut and moved by me. I have gone through untold hardships, but I am not as good as those brothers."
"They don't follow the precepts, don't study Buddhism, are uneducated, and cheat. But they wear gold and silver, are free and unrestrained, and live better than me."
"They saw that I was poor and pointed at me, saying I was stupid!"
"I don't understand. Could it be that the Buddhist scriptures are wrong?"
After hearing Chen's questions, Shi Feizhe roughly understood.
To put it simply, other monks were driving Land Rovers, and he felt jealous. But he couldn't learn to cheat like others, and he didn't want to sell out his own ass. So, he was distressed.
"Why did you become a monk?" Shi Feizhe decided to ask him the purpose of becoming a monk first.
"Of course it's to live a better life!" Lechen said as a matter of course.
"Uh... you are indeed an honest monk!"
Shi Feizhe didn't expect Chen to be so frank.
Indeed, whether you worship Buddha or become a monk, you all hope to live a better life!
No one wants to live a worse life by worshipping Buddha, and no one wants to live a worse life by becoming a monk.
"The world is full of twists and turns. It's not easy to live a good life!"
"I know this too. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, but I have only achieved some real skills and have no supreme magic! I can only live in this small temple." Monk Lechen said with a sigh.
The small temple is like his status in the underworld, dispensable.
Only those who have no choice will come here.
Perhaps, Liaochen is here, day after day, with doubts in his heart, until one day he dies.
The underworld is not very friendly to people at the bottom of society.
Shi Feizhe thought about it, was silent for a while and then said, "How many scriptures have you read?"
"Eight hundred and twenty-five books!" Lechen said silently.
"In that case, why don't you write one yourself?"
"Why must we follow other people's paths? Why must we care about other people's opinions? Why must we follow other people's laws?"
"You should have your own law!"
"Being a monk is not as happy as becoming a Buddha!" said Shi Feizhe.
"But... I don't have the courage!" Lechen said honestly.
"I am an honest man!"
This book has gotten so good inexplicably, and I am confused. The comments section has also become inexplicably sharp, but I will continue to stick to my own ideas and continue to write freely! Quack!
