Fakong stood quietly on the steps of the Daxiong Hall of Yuzhu Temple, his purple and gold cassock fluttered in the wind, and he looked like an eminent monk, facing the pilgrims who came and went.
Many people don't know Fakong, only hear his name but never see him.
At this time, I really saw Fakong, and I was a little disappointed.
He is not very handsome, nor is he imposing and majestic, just an ordinary young man.
Fakong looked at them with a smile, and had a clear understanding of their thoughts, but he didn't intend to directly break their thoughts.
An old man saluted together: "Shen Monk Fakong, we really want to come here to offer incense, but this peak is too high and we can't do it."
Fakong smiled: "Buddha sits in his heart, as long as his heart is sincere, even at home, just offer a stick of heart incense."
"Really?" The old man was surprised.
Fakong nodded with a smile: "Sincerity does not lie in the situation, take the meaning rather than the form."
"Thank you, the divine monk." The old man showed a relieved smile: "The little old man offered a stick of heart incense at home."
Fakong Heshi: "Amitabha."
"God monk, can we still cast the mantra of rejuvenation if we offer heart incense at home?" Another old man asked.
Fakong smiled and shook his head: "The rejuvenation mantra performed by the benefactors in person needs to be manifested in the dojo, but the poor monk will perform a blessing ceremony once a month. As long as you are sincere, you can also receive the blessing of the rejuvenation mantra at home. "
"Can you get the Rejuvenation Curse at home?" The old man asked in surprise, "Do you not need to participate in the blessing ceremony?"
Fakong shook his head: "In the future, the poor monk will hold the blessing ceremony in the dojo. At that time, even if the believers are not in the dojo, as long as they sincerely recite the rejuvenation mantra, they will be blessed."
"The merit is immeasurable!" The old man sighed.
Fakong said with a smile: "All living beings are suffering. There is really not much that the poor monk can do. He can only do his best."
?The sea of ??suffering is boundless, and the Dharma is used as a boat to cross it, but there are too many people who don't want to get on the boat, and there is nothing I can do about it.
With the dojo of Yuzhu Peak, the entire Yunjing can be enveloped in it, so the believers in Yunjing City can also be blessed.
"Master is merciful." Everyone agreed.
At this time, dozens of pilgrims had already gathered around.
Fakong smiled and said: "It's still necessary for the benefactors to save themselves, and to chant the scriptures sincerely at ordinary times. It is best to abide by the precepts. It is not necessary to observe all the precepts, and it is good to observe one precept."
Everyone looked over in amazement: "Is it okay to keep a precept?"
Fakong nodded: "It is far better than not keeping the precepts. Those who keep the precepts will naturally have a quiet mind, a strong heart, and a strong spirit. It will benefit both the body and the mind. Prolonging life is definitely possible."
Everyone was suddenly moved.
Among the people who came to offer incense, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, mostly elderly people, and very few young people.
? When I was young, I was just young, and I didn't believe in Buddhism so much. I felt that my fate was up to me, and that Buddhism was too passive and secluded from the world, and it was not good for myself.
In middle age and old age, you can feel the existence of destiny, and you have a better understanding of the law of causality and fatalism in Buddhism, and it is easier to believe in it.
And the older they are, the more they are afraid of death. Prolonging their life has endless temptations for them, which they cannot resist.
Fakong looked at them with a smile: "The Rejuvenation Curse can relieve ailments, heal old injuries, and restore the body to its peak state, but it has no effect on longevity."
Everyone nodded slowly.
Fakong said: "A person's lifespan is like an oil lamp, which is continuously burned and consumed. The spirit is its lamp oil, and keeping the precepts can reduce the lamp oil consumption."
"God monk, which precept should we keep?" someone asked.
Fakong looked at them with a smile, and said slowly: "According to your own situation, you can just keep different precepts. If you think the precept is the easiest for you, then you can follow that precept."
"So" Everyone pondered.
Fakong said: "If you feel that you can hold the precepts thoroughly after one year, you can add another precept. After two years, if you can hold on, then add another precept, and add one by one. Naturally, it will become more and more powerful. Accurate and strict, the achievements are getting bigger and bigger.¡±
An old man laughed and said, "God monk, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep a single precept, let alone several precepts."
Fakong smiled: "Benefactor Zheng, if you uphold the precept of lust, you will be able to hold it, and after a year, you can uphold the precept of killing, and then practice the closed mantra, the achievement must not be low."
The old man said in surprise: "Lust and Caution?"
Fakong nodded slowly.
The old man hurriedly waved his hands: "God monk, I can't do it. I have no women and no joys now. How can I maintain lust and abstinence?"
"You might as well try it." Fakong smiled: "Once you keep this precept, you should be able to appreciate the beauty of it, and you will naturally be able to hold on to it."
The old man was thoughtful.
An old man next to him smiled and said, "The divine monk actually knows Lao Zheng's name?"
Fakong looked at them with a smile: "It's just a trick of the withering moth, don't be surprised, thank you benefactor."
"This" The old man stared at Fakong in surprise.
Fakong smiled and said: "The poor monk can't see this at all, and he is called a god monk in vain, and he has supernatural powers in vain."
"Does the monk know the names of all of us?"
"Amitabha Buddha."
"The divine monk is worthy of being a divine monk!" Everyone looked at Fakong in amazement.
Fakong called out their names one by one, and said with a smile: "All benefactors, you might as well give it a try, and start with keeping a precept."
"Okay." After seeing the magic of Fakong, everyone was convinced in their hearts, thinking that since he said so, they should be able to do it.
And the benefits of doing so are so great, how can you miss it?
"How did the monk know our names?" Zheng Fengnan asked.
Fakong laughed and said, "It's not surprising that I know your names after seeing your past and future."
"The monk has seen our past and future?" Zheng Fengnan asked hurriedly.
Fakong nodded.
"The divine monk, are we in danger?" Zheng Fengnan hurriedly said, "Have we seen the fate of all of us?"
Fakong took a look at everyone, and said slowly: "All benefactors are blessed with deep fate and can live a long life."
"God monk, can't it be so good?" Zheng Fengnan said: "How can there be no one who died suddenly?"
With so many people, it's impossible for them all to be so lucky, right?
It can't be such a coincidence.
Fakong smiled: "You are indeed blessed, otherwise you wouldn't be the first batch to come to my Yuzhu Peak."
"So" Everyone smiled suddenly.
Everyone hopes that their own life will be good, that it will be smooth sailing, and that they will not die unexpectedly.
Fakong Heshi said: "Besides the Rejuvenation Curse, all benefactors, you can also try to cast the Pure Heart Mantra, which is also incredible."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
They wisely stopped disturbing Fakong and began to offer incense, then they withdrew from Yuzhu Peak and headed down the mountain.
Fakong stood on the steps of the Daxiong Palace and watched them leave.
At this time, Xu Qingluo and the other four came over.
"Master, there are only so many people." Xu Qingluo said dissatisfied: "Too few?"
The news had already spread, but too many people stopped, standing at the foot of the mountain in awe, not daring to go up.
Fakong said: "Enough."
Zhou Yang asked curiously: "Master, why do you want them to observe the precepts?"
"It's good for them." Fakong said.
In fact, it is more beneficial to yourself.
Observing precepts can enhance faith and purify faith.
This is a mystery he discovered by accident.
For the same believers, the confidence provided by the believers who keep the precepts is almost two to three times that of the believers who do not keep the precepts.
