One day later, Xiang Que paid special attention to the news. There was an earthquake in a certain place in Qinghai around 3:00 in the morning. More than 400 houses collapsed, seven villages were razed to the ground, and more than 500 people were displaced. More than 200 people were killed and injured. .
As expected, the natural disaster came true the day after the Leshan Giant Buddha's tears appeared.
Therefore, Xiang Que, who had an epiphany, quickly went to the place where the earthquake occurred.
Xiang Que's epiphany was not because of Leshan Giant Buddha's tears, but through the past of Monk Haitong, he suddenly understood the root of Buddhist practice. I have spent my whole life in giving without calculation.
The ashes have been buried in the Xuankong Temple on the west mountain of Xiangjiatun. That master, he came out of the Xuankong Temple three times in his life. Each time he was born, he either rescued the dead souls who died from suffering, or prayed for ordinary people who suffered after a catastrophe, and reincarnated. In previous lives, Cao Shanjun was a master who was compassionate and compassionate to the world. He was good at the world and never stopped. He created the Living Buddha Cao Shanjun in this life. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva willingly gave up the opportunity to become a Buddha in order to influence countless sinners in the underworld. Enter hell, let go of the rhetoric that if hell is not empty for a day, I will not become a Buddha.
Therefore, people in Buddhism pay attention to practicing in the world, doing good deeds, and accumulating virtue in the world. Karmic reincarnation is life after life. What kind of hell is it? It is the thinking of ordinary people in Buddhism who pay attention to suffering and benefiting thousands of people alone. Therefore, the old abbot of Baima Temple saw what Xiang Que wanted, and told him that you can't get what you want if you ask for it under the stupa For those things, it is equivalent to sitting on the sidelines and waiting for a rabbit, which has no effect at all.
So Xiang Que, who had an epiphany, rushed to the earthquake-stricken area. At the beginning, he joined the rescue team as an ordinary volunteer. This was the first time he had encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters.
In front of me, a village with more than 60 houses that had all collapsed was in a mess, and almost none of them was intact. The villagers wandered helplessly in front of their houses, with indescribable sadness and sorrow on their faces, and there were crying sounds from time to time. Come on, there are people under the ruins who are looking for relatives who are still alive. In this scene, even the children who are not sensible at the age of three or four are much quieter. They stop crying and playing, and stand quietly hugging each other. Looking at the adult's body, he stared blankly at the home that disappeared overnight.
After Xiang Que became a volunteer, he discovered that there are many kind-hearted people in this world. In addition to the local government, there are also officers and soldiers who come to rescue the disaster. Come to think of it, some people say that with the development of society, people become more and more selfish and selfish. They only know how to ask but not how to give. Such negative emotions and comments are flooding the Internet and the news. Xiang Que feels that these are the comments of those who have never seen the sky from the bottom of a well. When they have the opportunity to come to the scene of the disaster, they will understand. Human nature is always the temperament that human beings have never abandoned, even if it develops for thousands of years, it will still not change.
During the day, Xiang Que was a volunteer, carrying out auxiliary work for disaster relief, moving the ruins and excavating survivors, and providing assistance to the elderly and children. At night, after many disaster relief work came to a standstill, he entered the ruins alone, and crossed his legs sit on it.
Whenever there is a catastrophe, the most unavoidable thing is the dead. Most of the dead have brought a lot of resentment, and many people can't believe that they have passed away. willing to leave.
At night, Xiang Que became a Mr. Yin and Yang, extraditing the souls of the dead into the underworld.
It was almost early morning, when Xiang Que got up, he suddenly heard a string of slight Buddha voices coming into his ears from a distance, Xiang Que followed the voice for a while, and saw an old monk wearing ordinary monk robes sitting in the field outside the village. On the ground, he was holding Buddhist beads in his left hand and knocking on the wooden fish with his right hand, while reciting the Avalokitesvara Sutra in his mouth.
After a long time, a white light lit up in the sky, the sun quietly rose from the eastern horizon, the afterglow of dawn sprinkled on the earth, and a new day was coming.
The old monk opened his eyes, stopped turning the beads and the wooden fish in his hand.
Xiang Que clasped his hands together and said softly, "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."
This old monk is the old abbot of the White Horse Temple. After Xiang Que met him, he was ordered the Zen words that he had never understood before leaving. When Xiang Que wanted to ask him to explain his confusion However, the monk at the White Horse Temple told him that the abbot had already traveled to teach Buddhism, but he did not expect the abbot to come here.
"The world is full of disasters and disasters, and my Buddha is merciful" The old abbot uttered a dharma name, stood up from the ground with difficulty, staggered slightly, and sat withered without any cultivation. one??It's not easy.
"The benefactor understands?"
He nodded to the defect and said, "Understood, the practice of Buddhism and Taoism is indeed not something I can ask for. I pay attention to the cycle of cause and effect. If I really travel to thousands of monasteries in the world, it will be nothing more than a waste of time. Only by entering the world and understanding the common people can we get what I want."
The old host smiled happily, nodded and said: "There is still a long way to go, let's go slowly."
Half a month later, the disaster area recovered, and what Xiang Que could do was limited. He left here to start his first Buddhist practice.
?In mid-July, Xiang Que was like an ascetic monk, walking all over the world on foot from Qinghai Road alone, eating and sleeping in the open during the day, rushing to rest at night, and whenever he saw someone in need of help along the way, he would help one or two.
People in the Taoist sect, such as Maoshan, Tianshijiao and Longhushan, also pay attention to entering the world, subduing demons and subduing demons, collecting ghosts and souls, which can be regarded as doing good to the world, but most of them are in exchange for pricey conditions. What you do is completely different from Taoism, and you will only give without asking for anything in return.
After a month or two, Xiang Que did not know how many good deeds he did, and he was ashamed like a vagabond, but his steps were still firm.
In August, he went to the banks of the Yellow River, and in September to the banks of the Yangtze River, where floods were raging.
From the beginning of the year to the present, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiang Que has always been playing the role of an ascetic monk. During this period, he has never contacted anyone he knows well. At this time, someone who knows him may see Xiang Que If it is missing, everyone's jaws will drop in shock.
Xiang lacks the vigor, vigor and domineering that young people should have, but has a touch of calmness and sophistication, and a back-to-basics temperament that does not match his own age.
Seven or eight months may not be able to change an ordinary person, but the lack of single-minded cultivation has changed a lot in these few months. Around mid-October, he has already traveled from south to north.
Beijing, Tsinghua University.
A travel-stained figure stood at the gate with his hands behind his back. After looking up for a second, his face was slightly reminiscent of bitterness and sweetness, and then he was about to walk in with deep emotions.
"Hey, hey, hey, you, what about you, stop, what are you doing?" The security guard hurried over with a rubber baton, stopped the man in front of him, looked up and down, waved his hand and said, "Go four or five Zhanlu, Wangfujing Street, or seven or eight miles north to Tianqiao, these two places are suitable for you to go, this is not where you should come.¡±
The man tilted his head and said, "How suitable?"
"Begging, those two places are occupied by homeless people, you put your face down and beg hard, two or three hundred a day is not a lot of money, do you know where this is? Tsinghua University, the highest university in China, is full of national Dongliang, if you come here to beg, isn¡¯t this delaying the development of the motherland? Can you be a little enlightened and get out, or I will send you to the detention center and send you back to your hometown on the charge of hooliganism.¡±
The homeless grinned, pointed at himself and said, "Uncle Wang, you don't know me anymore? Take a closer look?"
"Hey? How do you know my surname is Wang?" The other party looked at Xiang Que in surprise, and then said with a smack of tongue: "You, aren't you the second idiot of the Cao family, Cao An?"
During the period when Xiang Que was stupid, he had spent a lot of time in Tsinghua University, and he was familiar with those who wandered around the campus behind Cao Haoran and Cao Qingguo and mixed with security guards.
"Then do you think I can go in?" Xiang Que asked with squinted eyes.
"Go, go, Qingguo happens to be off work today"
? On the east side of the campus, the staff dormitory.
At Cao Qingguo's house, a family of three is eating at this point, but besides this family of three, there is also a big girl who looks like a flower and looks like a star sitting at the dining table. Just look at the simple decorations in this dormitory and the appearance of Cao Qingguo's family. Dressing, to be honest, doesn't match the girl who eats, because judging from her delicate face, well-tailored clothes, and the tens of thousands of Longines watches in her hand, she is more suitable for sitting in a hotel or a western restaurant. Appropriate, but shouldn't frequently put vegetables in the bowl of the honest-looking man next to her, and her eyes often reveal a look of admiration.
This scene is a little bit like a princess and a beast, especially when the young man scratches his head and smiles shyly every time the woman picks up food for him with a sweet smile, he nods and agrees sullenly, It gives people the feeling that the cow dung has used so many martial arts to firmly stick the flowers.
Cao Haoran and Han Shuhua have been very close to each other for a year, and created a moving legend about the swan and the toad. Whenever the two of them walk on the campus arm in arm, there will be the movement of grinding their teeth and beating their chests behind them. All here and there.
