Chapter 583 Quietness and Thoughts 【Subscription】
Time passed quickly and in a blink of an eye another three days passed, and Fangzheng recited sutras for three full days. On this day, Fangzheng received a message from the big star Li Xueying.
"Hello! Abbot Fangzheng, do you miss me?!" There was also a photo of Li Xueying saying hello on top of the text, wearing a hat on one side, denim clothes, big eyes, cute and cute.
Fangzheng smiled slightly, and replied, "I don't think so."
"It's too much..." Li Xueying sent an angry expression with her hands on her hips, and then said: "Thanks to me, I looked around for good craftsmen, and I got the best materials to expand a Guanyin Temple for you, plus two Zen rooms, but you didn't even want to I'm... sad..."
Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the last time the movie "Allure" was suppressed all the way, Fangzheng said everything would be fine, Li Xueying said, if it is all right, then he will follow Fangzheng's auspicious words and give Fangzheng a Guanyin Temple. Of course, there is more in it, it may be that Li Xueying made a wish to the Bodhisattva, and now that the crisis is over, this is to fulfill the wish.
The so-called fulfillment of a vow is that some people want to ask the Bodhisattva to do something for them. If it is successful, as a reward, they may donate money, or donate things, or donate a Buddha statue or something... For example, some people ask for a child. Just come back and donate as much as you want.
Of course, this kind of wish is generally for something that can be seen and touched, rather than illusory or too macroscopic. You can ask for a child, ask for a certain business to succeed, and then promise something and so on.
In the eyes of many people, it takes many big wishes to make a big wish, but in Fang Zheng's view, this kind of thinking is a bit ridiculous. This kind of statement is naturally correct among ordinary people. But between gentlemen and gentlemen, they will not use this as a way of communication. Not to mention gods and Buddhas? In the eyes of gods and Buddhas, what mortals can give is really limited, and what is precious in the eyes of mortals is like dust in the eyes of Buddhas. So what the Buddha really cares about is not the real thing, but the sincerity. If you succeed, you should give sincere thanks, and recite the scriptures and Buddha's name more, it is better than anything else.
Therefore, making a wish and fulfilling a wish are not that complicated. But once you make a vow, you must repay it, otherwise you will be cheated. Therefore, regardless of whether the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas care about it or not, it is still very important that you give what you promise.
Fangzheng doesn't know whether Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have blessed Li Xueying, but it is a fact that Fangzheng has paid 700 merits. Therefore, Fangzheng didn't intend to reject Li Xueying, he said openly: "The poor monk recites scriptures every day, he has nothing on his mind, no one else, so naturally he doesn't want to."
"You... No wonder you became a monk, destined to be single forever." Li Xueying scolded with a smile, she was just joking.
However, when Fangzheng saw the words, tears flowed down his face. This is definitely a 100% crit! Pain!
But what can Fang Zheng say? He is a monk, is it okay to think about women? No matter how vulgar you are in the future, at least you have to look good when you do this job. So Fangzheng replied with a very bitter and meaningful sentence: "Amitabha."
"Okay, I won't tease you. I ordered a lot of building materials for you, as well as a construction team, but the other party is very busy, and it may take a while to go there. I will tell you when I have specific news." Li Xueying said.
Fangzheng said: "Amitabha, you haven't come yet, so don't talk about it, the poor monk's heart is itching..."
"Haha... Aren't you all right and nobody? Stinky bastard, tickle yourself. Haha..." Li Xueying sent a laughing emoji.
Fangzheng: "..."
After hanging up the phone, Fangzheng jumped up and laughed loudly: "Haha... The poor monk's small monastery is finally going to expand a little bit! Haha..."
For Fangzheng himself, he doesn't care too much about the size of the temple, after all, he will return to vulgarity in the future. But the bigger the monastery, the more people will come, and the reputation will increase accordingly. There will be more incense, more wishes, more blessings, and finally more merits and virtues! With more merits, Fangzheng is getting closer and closer to the road of returning to secular life.
This is also the affirmative answer Fangzheng got from the system. Anyone who comes to pray for Bodhisattva or Buddha, as long as the other party is sincere and a good person, and what he asks for is not extraordinary, will usually be successful. Once it is done, Founder can get one-tenth of the merits generated. Although this amount is small, it can't hold up to a large base! In fact, a small half of Fangzheng's merits came from this way. After all, Fangzheng's merits and deeds alone are limited, and the number of people is the last word.
But what makes Fangzheng most happy is...
"One point to dad, our temple is finally going to be expanded, no, it has been expanded before. The bell tower and drum tower are so big and old-fashioned. Our clock is the Yongle bell in Lingshan, and the drum is a high imitation of the one used by the emperor to fight Chi You. Kui Niu war drums, our main hall has more ten-thousand Buddha cards... a Guanyin Hall will be built soon. Didn’t you keep muttering, when will our temple become as big as Baiyun Temple? It’s not far away, Believe me..." Fangzheng sat in front of Yizhi's grave, talking happily, as if sitting in front of him was not a mound of dirt but Zen Master Yizhi.
Fangzheng sat for most of the day, and it was already evening when he returned to Yizhi Temple. Today, Fangzheng was in a good mood. He cooked in person. He picked out a portion of the bag of vegetables that Liu Hong had delivered, washed them, and fried them in a big pot. He brought his disciples to eat very well.
As the saying goes, when Fangzheng chats with Zen Master Yizhi for so long, he has said everything that needs to be said, and has blown everything that needs to be said. When he returns to reality, he still has to face a problem, that is merit! It's obviously not okay to stay like this. Since you have nothing to do, you can only find trouble yourself, so...
"Apprentices, prepare to go down the mountain tomorrow for the master." As soon as Fangzheng said this, several apprentices raised their heads at the same time. The lone wolf's desire is not particularly great, while the red boy is eager to try. The monkey is also a little curious, but the squirrel has been eating , doesn't seem to care at all.
Seeing this, Fangzheng frowned slightly. Although none of these apprentices were human, they were no different from human beings after they were able to speak. Like this, they probably won't be able to get used to it when they return to the mountains and forests, but to integrate into the society, they need to have acquaintance with this person's world. It's easy to lose money if you keep being so cute.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng said: "This time Jing Kuanhe will go down the mountain for the teacher."
"Kah...cough cough cough..." The squirrel was taken aback when he heard it, and then choked, coughing, and then looked at Fangzheng with a cute face, as if to say, it was me?
The red boy looked hopeful, the lone wolf yawned and didn't care, and the monkey didn't care too much either, he liked the tranquility on the mountain very much.
