Chapter 158 Wait, Wait [Monthly Ticket Plus Update]
"Is it fake?" A monk subconsciously said, reached out and touched it, but the lotus flower withered immediately. The monk exclaimed: "Really! It turned out to be a real lotus!"
Everyone came to their senses and looked around. They were sitting in a sea of lotus flowers! The whole temple is full of lotus flowers, there are frogs on the lotus flowers, and the birds on the ground are awakened by their shouts and flutter their wings together.
Seeing such a scene, everyone's mouth grew wide, and they were already unable to speak! In the scene before them, there was only one thing in their minds - my Buddha preached the scriptures, my tongue burst into a lotus flower, the earth gushed out golden springs, and all spirits came to listen!
Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked forward, but the preacher disappeared!
"Where is Abbot Fangzheng?"
"Who saw Abbot Fangzheng?"
"Tongue blossoming lotus! Such scriptures, miracles!"
"Crossing the river with a reed, with lotus blossoms on his tongue, is this a Living Buddha?"
"Crossing the river with a reed can be said to be a supernatural power, but the lotus flower on the tongue is the real Dharma. Abbot Fangzheng is a living Buddha!"
...
At this moment, Zen Master Baiyun and Zen Master Hongyan were also shocked. They have practiced Buddhism for decades, and they have heard the lectures from eminent monks at home and abroad, but they have never seen such a scene! Tongue blooming lotus, this is no longer something manpower can do, nor can it be done by magic, it is a miracle!
The two looked at each other, and both saw the shock and excitement in each other's eyes! How can Buddhism not be happy if there are such gods and men in Buddhism?
But when the two found out that Fangzheng was missing, they became anxious and rushed to Fangzheng's Zen room with a group of monks to check.
In the end, no one dared to knock on the door!
Crossing the river with a reed has already made them stand in awe of each other, and the lotus flower with their tongue has completely made them stand in awe of each other like a god or a living Buddha. Who dares to disturb Fang Zheng's sleep?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, even Zen Master Baiyun can come forward and knock on the door.
This station lasted for an hour. Although everyone was anxiously waiting, no one made a sound. They just stood quietly, waiting...
And among the crowd, it wasn't them who shocked them the most, but a group of them!
The party was completely stunned at this moment. They thought that Fang was a liar, but they never expected that Fang was not only not a liar, but also a real eminent monk! At this moment, a whole group of intestines regretted: "I knew this earlier, so I shouldn't have forced him. Now it's okay, I offended him, and I want to listen to the scriptures in the future... Hey..." Although I was so muttered in my heart, but my heart In the depths, Yixing also understands that, not to mention the tongue-spreading lotus at the back, just the comprehension of the "Avatamsaka Sutra" in the front is already a level higher than him. One is thinking about the real scriptures while holding the Buddhist scriptures, and the other is understanding life after reading the Buddhist scriptures. The levels of the two have long been separated. It's just that he was not convinced, and that was the result of being slapped in the face later. All karma is his own fault.
I regret it.
Hongjing next to him was in almost the same state, but Hongjing had experienced many things than his party, so he didn't panic, but was thinking about how to solve this problem. Fangzheng is so powerful, he must be a master in the future. Such people don't seek friendship, but at least listen to lectures and improve their self-cultivation in Buddhism. It's always good.
Another hour passed, and the feet of everyone stood numb, and some of the older ones couldn't hold on anymore. At this moment, a monk rushed over and shouted: "Abbot, there is no need to wait, Abbot Fangzheng has already left the mountain!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Zen Master Baiyun immediately asked, "Is this really true?"
The monk said: "Just now, I checked the camera. Abbot Fangzheng left Baiyun Temple immediately after finishing his speech. Calculating the time, it has been two or three hours, and he has already gone far away."
Upon hearing this, Zen Master Baiyun immediately pushed Fangzheng's meditation room away, and sure enough, it was empty and there was no one there!
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what kind of trouble is this? Guarding an empty house, waiting for two hours.
Immediately, some people who couldn't stand still sat down on the ground.
Zen Master Baiyun said, "Take the poor monk to watch the video."
"Yes, abbot." The monk accepted the order.
As soon as everyone heard it, they could watch the video, and they all asked to go together, and Zen Master Baiyun did not refuse.
Although the last talk about Buddhism and scriptures in Baiyun Temple is not open to the public. But I want to leave audio-visual materials, firstly, for the convenience of reviewing, watching, reviewing the past and learning the new, and secondly, leaving a memory for everyone. Baiyun Temple is responsible for recording, and afterward, it will be sent to various temples.
When everyone rushed to the camera, they saw that monks had already laid out the white cloth and even placed the projector.
"Abbot, I know that everyone must watch it, so I extracted the video and prepared to put it on the projector." A monk stepped forward and said.
Zen Master Baiyun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let it go."
With the projector running, everyone saw Fangzheng began to lecture, and then the birds came to listen, the lotus bloomed, the frog jumped out, and the moonlight sprinkled the courtyard like water. If there were people who suspected that there was a problem before, now that there is a video to prove it, it is completely believed!
For a moment, everyone's hearts were shocked, such a miracle, like a god and Buddha!
"Abbot Fangzheng is the abbot of One Finger Temple, right?"
"Who knows where One Finger Temple is?"
"Yeah, how do you go the closest?"
"Zen Master Hongyan, I heard that you are quite close, can you tell me the way?"
...
For a moment, countless people asked about Yizhi Temple, especially Zen Master Hongyan, who was directly surrounded.
Zen Master Hongyan smiled wryly, and said: "Everyone, I know that you all want to see Master Fangzheng again and listen to the Dharma that makes the lotus bloom. But have you thought about it? Dharma is not taught lightly, and we are fortunate to hear Once, it is already a great honor, and everyone wants to be greedy to listen to it for the second time? The poor monk has lived for seventy-six years, and he has only heard it once in seventy-six years. Don't be greedy...
What's more, why did Abbot Fangzheng not see us and left after speaking? I am afraid that he is also afraid that everyone will be surrounded like this, and he will not be able to escape. The poor monk thought that Abbot Fangzheng probably didn't want to make a fuss about this matter, and he didn't want to be chased and intercepted by everyone, disturbing Qingxiu. Therefore, everyone, listen to what the poor monk said, don't go out and talk nonsense, and don't organize a group to go to Yizhi Mountain to disturb Abbot Fangzheng's Qingxiu. If you really want to go, find a time and go by yourself. "
When everyone heard the words, they felt quite reasonable.
Zen Master Baiyun also said: "When I practice Zen, I like quietness. Abbot Fangzheng is so accomplished in Buddhism, but he hides in the mountains. He must not like the noise from the outside world, which disturbs his quiet practice. Therefore, the poor monk also thinks that it should not be too much." Excuse me. Let everything go as it pleases..."
Although everyone was eager to see Fangzheng and listen to Fangzheng's lectures, they were in awe of Fangzheng in their hearts, and they didn't know whether to go or not. Now that the two eminent monks said this, they also felt that it made sense, so they asked for the address one after another, thinking about when to visit and how to arrange it better.
After two days of turmoil, Baiyun Temple finally returned to its former calm after many monks left.
It's just that some monks in Baiyun Temple are not calm anymore. Fang Zheng's performance has completely made them feel threatened. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Fangzheng thinks about it, Baiyun Temple may lose its reputation as the largest temple in Heishan City...
However, no one knew that at this moment, the master and living Buddha in everyone's hearts was about to cry!
