Chapter 70: DJ in the left hand and sutra in the right hand, live up to the Tathagata and live up to the lover
Kabukicho, Shinjuku.
Another new day.
Hase Shuichi woke up from the big bed in his 200-square-meter bedroom, looked around the empty room, and felt an inexplicable emptiness.
Alas, it seemed that money was the only thing left for him to keep him company.
It's boring to have no ambition in life.
In fact, he felt that he didn't like money at all and money was not important to him at all.
If possible, he would rather be a teacher and get a fixed salary every month.
In this way, he won't have to worry every day about how to spend his money, even until his hair turns white.
The above is pure nonsense.
Hase Shuichi got up from the big bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He always thought that money was a good thing, and having money was something to be thankful for.
Without money, how can you live a free and easy life?
As soon as you open your eyes every day, you have to worry about three meals a day. Such a life is destined to not be truly happy.
Only people like him who don't need to worry about money can pursue things that make them happy instead of pursuing jobs that can earn more money.
After washing up, I took a shower.
When I left the bathroom, it was already past 4pm.
He revels at night as if it were day and sleeps during the day as if it were night; this is his daily routine.
Went to the first floor and had breakfast...the first meal of the day.
Hase Shuichi checked the stage for tonight's concert and made sure that all aspects of the work were progressing smoothly and there would be no problems. Then he walked into the cloakroom backstage and began to choose several sets of clothes to wear for tonight's performance.
"Tony, remember to dress me up as the most dazzling star tonight."
Hase Shuichi shouted while sitting in front of the makeup mirror.
Soon, Teacher Tony, who was dressed fashionably and beautifully, walked behind Hase Shuichi with her index finger raised.
With her hands painted with blue and pink nails, she held his shoulders and turned around a few times, blinking her purple eyelashes slightly, "Don't you always hate excessive dressing up?"
"I have an appointment with someone to come to my concert tonight, and I have to give him a little shock."
"Oh, he must be an important person to make you care so much."
"He is my friend and also half a teacher to me."
"I see. How about something a little wilder tonight?"
"It's all up to you."
Hase Shuichi closed his eyes and allowed Tony and another makeup artist to put on makeup on his face, while he silently recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart.
This is one of his habits.
For him, practicing Buddhism and singing are both hobbies that can bring him happiness and experience beauty.
He also doesn't think that practicing Buddhism in this way would be a blasphemy. If constantly eliminating the desires in one's heart is a form of practice, then shouldn't following one's inner desires also be a form of practice?
There are thousands of ways to practice cultivation, so why should we be too obsessed with them, and why should we try to be completely consistent?
If you have Buddha in your heart, then there is Buddha everywhere.
Of course, he obviously hasn't reached this level yet, and probably won't be able to do it in this lifetime, but that doesn't stop him from using it to convince himself.
If your mind is not at peace, even if you force yourself to practice Buddhism, you will stumble and fail, and it will be difficult for you to ascend to the great treasure.
……
For a concert at 7 o'clock, the audience can enter in an orderly manner at 6 o'clock.
Night slowly falls and colorful neon lights begin to flash.
On the big screen outside Kabukicho in Shinjuku, photos of "Da Leiyin Ge" and singing clips are constantly scrolling.
At around 6:40, Chiya Hiramiya arrived at the entrance of the concert and successfully met up with Horii Suzune.
"It's really exciting."
Horii Suzune naturally handed the other cup of Coke in her hand to Hiramiya Chiye, then waved her hand, indicating that he could come to the crowd, line up, and enter in an orderly manner.
Hiramiya Chiye inserted the tube into the Coke cup, took a sip, raised his eyes and glanced at Hase Shuichi on the big screen. He was also looking forward to his cyberpunk version of "The Great Thunder Sound Sutra".
After entering the concert hall, under the guidance of the staff, Hiramiya Chiya and Horii Suzune came to the front row and sat down.
During this time, I also saw Hiratani Yasushi who had already entered the venue. He was hugging his girlfriend's shoulders, whispering sweet nothings to her. After a while, Hiratani Yasushi glanced over and saw Hiramiya Chiya and Horii Suzune. He winked at them and seemed to say something.
It was noisy in the venue and Horii Suzune was a bit far away, so she didn't hear anything.
Hiramiya Chiya heard it clearly. He was shouting, "President Horii, do your best tonight!"
When the time came to 6:50, the warm-up dance began on the stage.
The rhythmic feeling of Dong Dong Cha Cha can easily drag people into this lively atmosphere.
Pinggong Qianye kept looking at the stage calmly. For him, this could also be a kind of practice, sticking to his original intention and not being disturbed by the outside world.
It was not until Hase Shuichi appeared on the stage that Hiramiya Chiya had an idea from the bottom of her heart.
"If there is such a person, I will kill him with one palm."
Tonight, Hase Shuichi was obviously more unrestrained and wild than the photos scrolling on the big screen. His upper body could not be said to be completely naked, but it couldn't cover anything either.
His body is indeed well maintained. His abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, biceps, triceps, etc. are very well-proportioned and fit his height and face very well.
There must have been some oil applied on the smooth and round head, and it flickered under the spotlight.
She wore heavy makeup and big earrings.
At this moment, put your hands together, lower your head slightly, close your eyes and chant Amitabha.
After reverently chanting Amitabha for about three minutes with his head bowed, Hase Shuichi raised his head, raised his hands high, and jumped to the rhythm.
"Dear audience members, cheer up!"
"Friends in the back, let me see your hands!"
"Swing it!"
Hase Shuichi shouted a few times, stirring up the heated atmosphere in the venue.
When the sound of wooden fish began to sound, Hase Hideichi pressed his hands down, signaling everyone present to be quiet.
"The next one is the Heart Sutra for everyone."
“May all sentient beings be free from suffering and attain happiness, and share in the joy of the Dharma.”
"Amitabha."
After another "Amitabha", the expression on Hase Shuichi's face began to become serious and pious, and he held the microphone with both hands.
"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to transcend all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. The same is true of feeling, perception, mental formation and consciousness..."
Pinggong Qianye also often recites the Heart Sutra. The sound of his chanting is peaceful, clean and free of impurities. Those who hear it can get rid of their worries and depression, and feel peaceful and tranquil in their hearts.
Hase Shuichi's version of "Heart Sutra" with DJ elements... is full of rhythm, and the verses are also full of ups and downs.
It can't be said to be unpleasant to the ear, at least Hiramiya Chiye saw that Horii Suzune beside her was listening with great interest, and was waving glow sticks in both hands to the rhythm.
Pingu Yasushi, who was a little further away, was a fan of Da Leiyin Ge. His stool seemed to be filled with thumbtacks, which stimulated him so much that he could not sit still and was almost jumping up.
Pinggong Qianye patiently listened to the first song. How should I put it? It was indeed very fresh.
That's all I have to say.
After singing the first song, Hase Shuichi did not stop and continued to sing the second song.
“May the heavens and earth bring peace and prosperity. May the gods show their power, so that all things will be bright and the world will be free from disasters and diseases…”
When this song came out, Hase Shuichi started to go a little crazy.
The lights on the stage also swept back and forth particularly wildly.
The rhythm of this song is much stronger than the previous one. Many audiences have stood up and started swaying to this song.
Horii Suzune originally wanted to follow the trend and stand up, but when she glanced at the expression on Hiramiya Chiye's face beside her, she couldn't help but let out a silver bell-like laugh.
Maybe it was because he laughed too happily, and he coughed a few times.
"Hiramiya-san, what do you think?"
In response to Horii Suzune's knowing question, Hiramiya Chiye smiled and said, "Very good, it is very suitable for his practice."
Horii Suzune let out a light exclamation, not expecting such an answer.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Pinggong Qianye's face, she thought that Pinggong Qianye would regard this form of performance as a heresy of demons and monsters.
"I see his practice and I know clearly the path I should take. This is something worth rejoicing about."
Pinggong Qianye's tone was calm, without any emotion such as disdain or indignation.
He felt that Hase Shuichi was probably like this: DJ in the left hand and sutra in the right hand, I will never let down Tathagata or you.
