Chapter 1578 Incense

"Is there any difference between these types of incense?" Aishwarya asked.

"Of course there is a difference." The old man said, "Eighty-eight yuan is just one stick of incense, and eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan is three sticks of incense. As for the incense sticks of 8,880 yuan and 88,000 yuan, they are all blessed by Buddhist monks." , have been consecrated. Use the consecrated incense to offer incense to the Buddha, and the Buddha will bless you and make your wishes come true."

Buddhist eminent monks have enlightened? I am afraid that no monk in the world has as deep an understanding of Buddhism as Aishwarya. Although Xiao Fei has Buddhist supernatural powers, when it comes to pure Buddhist understanding, he is definitely not as good as her. And she was still in the capital of Huaxia, where she opened an altar to all the monks and preached the Dharma.

As for having been blessed and enlightened, that would be even more nonsense. With Xiao Fei's eyesight, he can see at a glance that this temple does not have any luck, luck, let alone Buddha's light.

Moreover, Aishwarya has three Buddha treasures on her body, and any one of them is a shocking existence. But she still said: "Then give me 88,000 incense sticks."

Eighty-eight thousand! ? Fatty Da Mater was immediately stunned by her generosity. Along the way, she ate simple meals, didn't buy new clothes, and refused to give a penny to the wedding team. Now it's just for incense, so I don't hesitate to spend 88,000 to buy incense candles!

It can only be said that she is not afraid of spending money in front of the Buddha. Money is something outside of the body.

And it's just for a form of worshiping the Buddha. As we all know, what is important in worshiping the Buddha is the sincerity of the heart, not the amount of money.

"Eighty-eight thousand, she is really willing!" said the fat man.

"If you give more money, you will appear sincere?" Da Banya also sneered.

"The money belongs to her, why are you bothering?" Xiao Fei said.

"It seems that the girl is really a Buddhist. You are so sincere that the Buddha can see it." The old man smiled when he heard this, and said that today he met another bully, and he was still very rich. Said: "Please wait a moment, girl, I will go get you incense right now."

The candlestick on which the incense was placed was in the Daxiong Hall, and the old man walked over. Opened the drawer, and took out a row of sealed incense sticks from inside, and walked over to show it to Aishwarya. The expensive incense is really different, there are a total of thirteen sticks in it, and each stick is as thick as a thumb and about a foot long. The color is brown, and through the packaging, you can smell the faint fragrance from inside. This fragrance is refreshing and very comfortable to smell.

If you meet someone who doesn't understand, you will definitely think it is natural sandalwood. But in fact it is not, the fragrance of natural sandalwood is not so strong at all, it is the fragrance of chemical raw materials, specially designed to fool those who do not understand. Moreover, the packaging on the surface of the incense is also very delicate, and it turns out to be an export product when you look closely.

Nanyue Province is a large industrial province, and many handicraft industries are well developed, covering all aspects of life, and there are even companies specializing in the manufacture of joss sticks. It is clearly marked on the package that this incense has been exported to Thailand, Nepal, India and other places for use by Buddhist believers all over the world.

However, Aishwarya didn't care whether the incense was real sandalwood, whether it was an export product, or whether it had ever been consecrated. All she cares about is that she can offer incense and worship the Buddha itself.

"Girl, you can burn incense now. I will light it for you next to you, and the Buddha will definitely bless you. Help you eliminate bad karma in this life and enter the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the next life." The old man said at the same time. As he spoke, he opened the package.

"Wait a minute." However, Aishwarya did not rush to burn incense, but said to the old man: "Master, do you have a hand basin here? Before burning incense, I want to clean my hands first. It is best to use gold." The kind that washes the dirt off your hands."

"Aishwarya, do you want to wash your hands in a golden basin?" the fat man asked.

"This is called cleaning hands, not washing hands," Aishwarya said.

"What's the use of just cleaning your hands? I suggest you take a bath first, take a bath and change your clothes, and then wash your hands and apply incense. Wouldn't that be more pious?" Xiao Fei said.

"Bather and change clothes, in fact, I also thought about it..." Aishwarya didn't hear Xiao Fei's irony, and thought he really suggested that she do this, and said in a deep voice: "But when I am away from home, I am a woman , bathing and changing clothes is inconvenient. Besides, Xiao Fei, you also understand Buddhist principles, and people’s hands are the most likely place to be contaminated with turbid air. Although bathing and changing clothes seems more pious, since it is inconvenient, forget it.”

Do you need a golden basin to clean your hands, take a bath and change clothes? Hearing this, the old man murmured to himself: If there was a gold basin in Huaguang Temple, it would have been stolen long ago.

But seeing her being so grand, and worshiping the Buddha so devoutly, I gradually started to respect her in my heart. Said: "If the girl really wants to take a bath and change clothes before worshiping the Buddha, there is a bathroom in my place, you can wash and then burn incense. As for the golden basin to clean your hands, we don't have it here. How about just washing it at the faucet?" ?”

"Since you can't clean your hands, forget it." Aishwarya said disappointedly. Bathing and changing clothes in Buddhism is a very grand etiquette, so how can it be just a casual wash in the bathroom? It is more particular than the golden basin to clean hands. Not only must it be in a specific place, but incense must also be burned before washing.

When burning incense, incense balls, incense balls, incense powder, and incense cakes need to be ignited to emit a strong natural fragrance. The bather takes off his whole body clothes and goes into the big basin prepared in advance to wash naked. Even the bathing water is very particular, and natural plants such as mugwort and lotus leaves should be placed in it.

In the fragrant atmosphere, the bather calms down and gets rid of all distracting thoughts. This kind of cleaning is called bathing, and it can wash away the tackiness of the whole body.

As for changing clothes, it is necessary to put on a new set of clothes from top to bottom, preferably ones that have never been worn before.

And the old man actually asked her to wash in the bathroom, using the faucet, which was obviously not professional at all. Since there are no special tools for cleaning hands here, it is even more impossible to expect them to have a special place for bathing and changing clothes.

I just said that I have to clean my hands and take a bath, so forget it now? Women are full of things, and they are a bit hypocritical! The old man thought to himself. But because she bought 88,000 incense sticks, she swallowed what she wanted to say. Said: "Since the girl is not cleaning her hands again, let's start offering incense."

After speaking, he took out the thick incense sticks from the package, took out nine sticks and handed them to Aishwarya: "Please burn nine sticks of incense in front of the Buddha first, the nine sticks can pray for three generations of the girl. "

"No!" However, Aishwarya refused to answer, and said, "When I first came here to worship the Buddha, I should only offer three sticks of incense."
