Chapter 10 Master Stays with You Overnight 【Favorites】

Fangzheng glanced at the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Are you afraid that he will act violently against you again?"

The two smiled awkwardly.

Fangzheng nodded and said, "Well, the poor monk will accompany you outside tonight."

"Uh...Master, this is absolutely impossible, you are precious, you should go back to live. We can do it by ourselves, there are four of us at least." Zhao Datong said hastily.

Fang Yunjing also said: "Master, you should go back to sleep, we are fine."

Ma Juan said: "Master, we are embarrassed to stay here."

Hu Han wanted to say something, but a wolf howled from a distant mountain, which scared him so much that his words changed immediately: "I think it's good for Master to stay..."

As a result, three pairs of angry eyes immediately appeared, and he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

Fangzheng laughed and said, "Okay, I'm a monk, so I don't pay attention to those things. Meeting each other is fate, so be it."

Zhao Datong and the others also hoped that Fangzheng would stay. They were really frightened by the sudden attack of the lone wolf. Fangzheng made them feel at ease.

Fangzheng finally stayed, and several people were relieved.

Surrounded by the bonfire, feeding the wolves, looking at the sky full of stars, the bald head under the starlight is extraordinarily bright, but it makes several people feel very at ease.

With this situation, several people were quite emotional in their hearts, this wild trip was worthwhile.

After chatting for a while, the few people gradually became acquainted.

Zhao Datong asked curiously: "Master, what do you usually pay attention to when you go to a monastery?"

"Datong, you don't believe in Buddhism, don't you believe in Christ? Why are you asking about this?" Ma Juan said.

Hu Han also smiled and said, "That's right, didn't you want to go to the monastery before?"

Zhao Datong immediately said confidently: "At this time and then at that time, I didn't know there was a real god in the mountains before, but now I know, of course I believe it. I have converted to my Buddhist sect, Amitabha, and you can call me Datong Master in the future."

"Ah bah! You are still a master, you can eat a cow if you eat meat, and you can drink several bottles of high-grade wine if you drink alcohol. If you can become a Buddha, no ghost will believe it." Ma Juan revealed the old truth unceremoniously.

Zhao Datong said disapprovingly, "Haven't you heard a saying? It's called wine and meat passing through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart. I have a Buddha in my heart, so what are you afraid of if you eat some meat and drink some wine? Isn't that right, Master?"

Fangzheng shook his head slightly, and asked back, "Do you know who said this sentence?"

Zhao Datong was suddenly embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I just heard it, I really don't know who said it."

Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Many people in the world have misunderstood this sentence, but they don't know the meaning behind it. It's also a sin." The origin of "wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha's heart" is a tragic allusion. Said The most famous thing is that when Zhang Xianzhong attacked Yucheng in the Ming Dynasty, which is now ZQ, he stationed in a temple outside the city and forced the monks inside to eat meat. At that time, a monk named Poshan said, as long as you don’t slaughter the city after attacking the city, I will Eat meat. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong agreed to him. So Monk Poshan said this sentence while eating. He broke the precept for the lives of thousands of people, and he didn’t really want to eat meat.”

"Master, I have never heard of the allusion you mentioned, but I have heard that it came from the mouth of the holy master of Daoji. It is also the mouth of Jigong according to folk rumors, right? Moreover, it is rumored that Jigong eats meat Drinking alcohol can lead to righteousness and fruition, right?" Fang Yunjing said suddenly, even though she was asking, she seemed to be arguing a bit.

Fangzheng smiled disapprovingly, and replied politely: "The world only knows this sentence of Ji Gong, but they don't know the second sentence "If the world learns from me, it is like entering the way of a demon", "Those who learn from me will go to hell, and those who slander me will go to heaven" .”

"What's the reason? Why can Jigong eat meat and drink, but others can't?" Ma Juan chimed in.

Fangzheng continued: "The view of "wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha keeps it in his heart" confuses saints, morality and moral cultivation. Decrease, but not increase in the holy. However, in the position of ordinary people, the afflictions are covered, and the Buddha nature cannot be manifested. If you kill and eat meat, you will be sick and short-lived. Eating meat is shown to save all living beings, so as to cover up the essence of a sage, and the secret meaning in it is impossible for ordinary people to understand. Do you know that Ji Gong can spit out two live pigeons after eating two dead pigeons. If the world can do it, Even if you eat meat, if you can’t do it, you should keep the precepts honestly! A lion can jump over a cliff, a rabbit can only fall to his death if he jumps. Ordinary people are not qualified to imitate the uncommon behavior of a great achiever. I wait for the practice, for the sake of It is to save all living beings, and all living beings are not only human beings, but all creatures, such as this lone wolf."

Zhao Datong was confused, but he was the first to clap his hands and applaud: "Good! That's really good!"

"Do you understand?" Ma Juan gave Zhao Datong a supercilious look.

Zhao Datong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I don't understand, but I know, it must be right."

"Sycophant." Ma Juan cursed, but looking at Fangzheng's eyes, there were a few more stars.

Fang Yunjing nodded slightly and said: "It turns out that this sentence turned out to be a fallacy of misrepresentation. Hey, I don't know how many people have been deceived. Thank you master for pointing out the maze.",

Fangzheng shook his head and said, "The benefactor is very polite."

Hu Han said: "Master, are there any rules when entering the monastery? I heard that there are many rules in the monastery."

Fangzheng smiled and said, "There are quite a lot, but those who do not know are not guilty, and the Buddha will not blame those who do not know."

"Master, tell us about the rules." Ma Juan also asked curiously.

Fangzheng smiled and said: "Too many, just like the main hall you entered before, there are many rules. There are three doors on the left, middle and right. You should enter from the left and right sides. You can't walk in the center to show respect. If you are on the left side of the door If you walk sideways, you enter with your left foot first, and when you walk on the right, your right foot enters first.

Entering the main hall, except for Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and offerings, the rest are not allowed to be brought into the hall.

You can enter the main hall at any time, only when you are chanting scriptures, worshiping the Buddha, cleaning, and adding oil and incense. You can't: use the Buddhist hall as a passage, and walk around at will.

Before entering the temple, you should purify your mind and body, and wash your hands. When you enter, you should not look around or look around. Only after worship can you look up at the holy face and recite the verse silently: "If you can see the Buddha, you should wish all living beings to see all Buddhas without hindrance."

In the Buddhist hall, you can only go around to the right, not to the left, to show the right way. When the public practice circumambulation together, pay attention to the corners, do not need to stop to ask questions, just raise your eyebrows.

Do not talk about secular language in the hall, let alone make loud noises. Except for listening to scriptures and Dharma, and sitting in meditation, you are not allowed to sit in the hall. Even when discussing Buddhism, you must not speak loudly.
