Chapter 444 All Merits Big Draw 【Subscription】

Zheng Jiaxing said: "I want to fight against gambling, so I will use ourselves as an example to spread the word in various villages, and hope that everyone will not fall into that magic pit again."

"I'm happy if you think so. Go ahead, I will support you in whatever you do." Li Na smiled.

"Dad, I support you too!" Zheng Xiaoyu shouted.

"Son, you have finally grown up..." Zheng Huo sighed...

...

But at this moment, Fang Zheng had already returned to Yizhi Mountain, eating, chanting scriptures, and when he was free, he called a few disciples over to talk about the scriptures, and lived a very leisurely life. As for the incense, Fang Zheng no longer had to worry about it. People came every day, and the incense never stopped.

The only thing that makes Fang Zheng unhappy is that he has done so many things, how come none of them caused a social sensation?

Crossing the river with one reed? Be taken as a liar.

Tongue blooming lotus? No mention at all!

I spent a bunch of fake charity, but no one seemed to care about it.

Now that the gambling cancer has been solved by going down the mountain, the police have arrested people, and the incident has been on the news. It seems that it has nothing to do with him!

...

Fangzheng didn't know that what he did was too unbelievable. Some insiders, out of kindness to him, didn't tell the outside world; occasionally, because no insiders came forward to testify, it became false propaganda, except for these people nearby , There are more people scolding him from a distance. In this way, although he has done a lot of things, but it is really not much to know who he is.

Fangzheng lay on the top of the wall every day, staring at the large number of pilgrims arriving, but in the end, hey...

"System, when will my temple be upgraded? The incense is so strong, it may not be much worse than Hongyan Temple, right?" Fang Zheng asked.

"What does it matter to me whether your monastery is upgraded or not?" the system asked.

"No... don't you care about this?" Fangzheng was stunned.

"You yourself have said before that there is a difference between the size of the temple? It's just worshiping the Buddha, and the size of the temple is enough. The size of the heart determines the size of the temple. Why do you care so much about the size of the temple?" the system asked rhetorically.

Fangzheng was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "I don't care about the size of the temple, but Yizhi Daddy cared a lot back then. His biggest dream is to develop Onezhi Temple and become a leading monastery! And you just came here It's time, didn't I say it..."

"I said to help you become a master, and the temple becomes the largest temple. Is your temple small now? People don't add value because they live in the mountains, but mountains will increase in value because of people with high morals. Since ancient times , I only heard about mountains that are famous because of people, but I haven't heard of people who are famous because of mountains." The system said.

Fangzheng said: "I understand all of this, but..." But after a long time, Fangzheng suddenly realized that he also misunderstood the meaning of One Finger Zen Master? What he said is big, isn't it big in architecture? Not many monks? but...

Fangzheng suddenly remembered what he asked Zen Master Yizhi when he was a child. At that time, a local tyrant wanted to expand several halls for the temple, but Zen Master Yizhi refused. Why refuse? Our dilapidated house has been demolished, so why not replace it with a good one? Others’ monasteries are so big, ours is too small.”

Zen master Yizhi shook his head and said: "Having money but no virtue is a disaster, a disaster for yourself, and a disaster for others. The practice of Buddhism, your own virtue, and the merits for the world as a teacher are not enough, so rashly build a big temple. I'm afraid I can't hold back. Fangzheng, remember, everything is empty, everything you see is empty, and when you leave the day, you can't take anything with you. Only what is in your heart is real, and you The bigger the heart, the bigger the temple. The bigger the temple in the heart, you are qualified to guard a bigger temple. If the heart is still in place, a mountain and a palace are no more than that. It's just a bigger cage."

Fang Zheng didn't understand what he said at the time, but later he realized something, that is, sincerity is the most important thing in monasteries, no matter how big or small they are. But now it seems that the meaning of these words is more than that... It is not impossible for the temple to be large, but it must be matched with virtue.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng nodded silently, and understood the path of his future struggle. Self-cultivation, external cultivation of merit, and growth together are the kingly ways.

After thinking everything through, Fang Zheng felt extremely at ease, and said with a smile, "System, I have accumulated three mission rewards. Let's draw a lottery. I'm starting to look forward to this reward."

"Do you want to smoke now?" the system asked.

"Yes!" Fangzheng said with certainty.

"Ding! Congratulations on getting the Buddhist building, Morning Bell!" the system said.

When Fangzheng heard it, he was ecstatic. What is the symbol of a monastery, a monastery? No, morning bells and evening drums are! No matter in ancient times or modern times, one often hears the sound of bells and drums when one does not see temples. The morning bell and evening drum have also become a code name for temples and Taoist temples. When you hear this sound, there are probably temples or Taoist temples nearby.

The bell, a native Chinese thing, originated in the government and was later used by Buddhism and Taoism. However, their uses are different from each other.

In Taoism, the clock is called the Dao Bell. In addition to its function of telling the time, it is also a magic weapon and architectural decoration. In many famous gymnasiums, there are big clocks hanging high on the top! Its existence can make the Taoist temple appear more solemn, solemn, majestic and inviolable. It is not only the most iconic ritual instrument of worship, but also is considered to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits. It is one of the most important instruments of Taoism. . Therefore, Taoism also calls it Fa Zhong and Fa Bell. Large-scale Taoist temples have bell towers, and there are rituals of morning bells and evening drums every day. First, we must be alert to practitioners who should work hard, be brave and diligent, and not be lazy and lazy. Relax yourself.

"Tao Shu Aids God Deed" said: "The ancients had chime bells and chimes for ceremonial music, each with sixteen, in response to the twelve rhythms and the clear sound of the four palaces. There are also special hanging bells and chimes, and the special hanging ones are alone. Also. There are gold bells and jade chimes in the case of the cave today, and there are big bells, etc., all of which are based on this.” There is also a scripture saying: “Morning bells and evening drums are used to summon all spirits. mistaken". Ascetics respect and reverence the bell and its striking. Knocking on the sound of the bell is profound and far-reaching, knocking out the delusions of all beings, "hearing the sound of the bell in the upper realm and hearing it in the lower realm" and "awakening everyone with a single chime".

In Buddhism, the bell is endowed with another meaning.

The bells of Buddhism are called Buddhist bells. In many famous temples and ancient temples, there are bell towers and drum towers on the left and right sides of the main hall, and the bells and drums are placed respectively, which are called "left bell and right drum".

The bells of the monastery are mostly rung once in the morning and evening, but unlike other places, the bells are only rung in the morning and the drums are rung at night. Temples have to be knocked, one hundred and eight times each time. The ringing of the bell in the temple to tell the time is only one of them, and the more important thing is to alert the world. Buddhism believes that "hearing the sound of bells and chimes can generate good intentions and increase righteous thoughts", "the sound of Hong Zhong's trembling can feel all living beings, and the sound can pervade immeasurable lands in ten directions". Buddhism teaches people to be kind and save all living beings. Not only do we have to realize ourselves, but we also need to help others and even all sentient beings to realize so that they can be freed from suffering. Therefore, there is another saying: "The big bell is the beginning of the order of the jungle. When it is struck at dawn, it will break the long night, and it will wake up the sleep.
