Xuanbei stood in front of Qian Yunsheng. He was the person in charge at this moment, so Wen Yan explained all the matters in detail.
"Our Leiyin Temple was preached by Zhepolao from the West. Later, his disciples, Master Shenzhi, moved to the Western Regions to rebuild Leiyin Temple. Therefore, this temple respects Master Shenzhi as the first ancestor, and it has been passed down to this day. More than 20,000 years ago."
"Our Leiyin Temple originally came from the two major lineages of Xialu and Zen passed down by the first ancestor of Shenzhi. Later, through the forge ahead of the second-generation ancestor Pudu, he spent 600 years on the wall of Qingniantanglha Mountain, studying Buddhism intensively."
"Finally, the Zen sect has become vast, and our name as the number one Zen sect in Leiyin Temple has been established. You must know these stories..."
"Yes!" Although Wen Xinzhu yawned loudly in his soul, Qian Yunsheng heard it for the first time, but he sincerely nodded and listened with gusto.
Xuanbei saw that Qian Yunsheng's thoughts were calm, and he couldn't help but feel a smile at the corners of his eyes.
He secretly said: "Although this casual cultivator has a little exposure to the secular world, judging from his behavior, he can still be strict and orderly. It seems that this 'Hama Subduing Demon Finger' is not a trustworthy person."
"It's just a pity that his qualifications are limited after all. Otherwise, he might not be able to spread this fingering technique."
Although he sighed in his heart, he still had a businesslike look on his face and continued to talk a lot.
Just when Qian Yunsheng finally began to understand the pain of what Wen Xinzhu said about Buddhist cultivation, he heard Xuan Bei's voice change and he started talking about himself again.
Since it was related to him, Qian Yunsheng couldn't help but perked up and listened carefully to Xuan Bei's words:
"When you get started this time, I will be your guide. You must listen carefully to this distinction."
Qian Yunsheng did not dare to neglect and said respectfully again: "Yes!"
Seeing that Qian Yunsheng still didn't show the slightest hint of impatience, Xuanbei nodded and said to himself:
"The most important skill in Buddhist practice is the word tranquility. Generally speaking, it is best to cultivate it from an early age. I didn't expect that this first step of getting started is not a problem for casual practitioners."
So he continued: "When you enter my Leiyin Temple, in addition to the entrance, there is also an important ceremony, which is the ordination."
"This ordination is a big deal for monks like us. With the ordination, we can communicate with the gods and summon divine servants, especially when we come to the Western Bliss in the future. Only the success of your ordination is the root of all this."
"Therefore, this ordination is another extremely solemn ceremony besides becoming a monk. You must be strictly inspected in the temple before you can be ordained under the abbot's auspices."
"Do you understand all the above?"
After Qian Yunsheng said he understood everything, he recited sincerely: "Disciple Qian Yunsheng has admired Leiyin Temple for a long time, and begs all the masters to accept it under the door."
Seeing that everything he had to explain was finished, Xuanbei nodded, and then said to the junior brothers: "Let's begin!"
Then, all the old monks prayed again.
As the ceremony officially began, Xuanbei was the first to step out and loudly introduce Qian Yunsheng to the transmission master, Elder Xuannian, in front of everyone. After the introduction, Xuan Nian was invited for the assessment.
Xuannian waited for Xuanbei to retreat, then stepped out of the queue and examined some of the various temple rules and precepts that Master Xuanbei just introduced to Qian Yunsheng.
Immortal cultivators are all knowledgeable and memorized, so this item was not difficult for Qian Yunsheng, and it passed smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the supervisor Xuan Ku came out and tested some of Qian Yunsheng's principles of life and some worldly responses, and then he retired with satisfaction.
The last person to come up for the assessment was Elder Xuanwen of Bodhidharma Academy. He was now responsible for the duties of a true appraiser.
I saw that he was not in a hurry, selected several Buddhist scriptures, pulled out some of the doctrines and articles, and debated them with Qian Yunsheng on the spot. Then he nodded with satisfaction before retreating again.
After the three elders completed the assessment, they all said to Xuan Bei: "Qian Yunsheng, a casual cultivator in the hall, has been verified by us to be correct. He has pure conduct and the essence of Buddhism. He should be recorded on the door wall!"
Then Xuanbei stood up again and said some words of encouragement. He then signaled Elder Xuanben of the Sutra Pavilion to serve as the recommender and stand with him on both sides of Qian Yunsheng.
I saw two old monks reciting together: "All conditioned Dharma is like a dream, like bubbles, like dew or like electricity, just observe it like this..."
Then Xuanbei stretched out his palm and slowly moved it down towards Qian Yunsheng's head. After a while, countless black hairs flowed down, and Qian Yunsheng's hair was shaved off immediately.
When Wen Xinzhu saw that Qian Yunsheng had finally lost all his hair, he finally gained some energy, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's good now, you are considered a bald donkey. Let's see how you continue to call others bald donkeys!"
Qian Yunsheng resisted the urge to reach out and touch his head. He knew that with the monk's speed, the ceremony was not over yet, so he could only continue to kneel there properly, smiling bitterly in his heart:
"Hmph, don't you know that we ghost cultivators are the best at stretching and bending? Even though I shaved my head today, next time I might turn over and pick out all the Leiyin Temple to solve this problem in my heart. Bad breath."
Wen Xinzhu seemed to be extremely happy looking at Qian Yunsheng's bald head, and laughed:
"Forget it, this is a great temple of ten thousand years. If you want to choose this person, you should wait until you can really refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and have tens of millions of souls in the banner."
"However, since ancient times, you Buddhas and ghosts have been incompatible. I guess they never thought that they would let a ghost cultivator like you sneak in and even introduce the door wall yourself."
"If one day they know the truth, I'm afraid they will be furious with you, and you may not necessarily become a laughing stock in temples all over the world. At that time, you don't have to do anything, it will be regarded as successful revenge."
Qian Yunsheng smiled at the Wenxinzhu and chatted with it for a few more times before finally bringing the ceremony to the end. Xuanbei turned around, took a set of things from the hands of a young monk who was walking quickly, and handed them to Qian Yunsheng:
"These are the many utensils of my Leiyin Temple. You should keep them."
After speaking, a lot of tokens, scriptures, monk clothes, monk robes and other various things were handed over one after another.
Qian Yunsheng reached out and took it, and when he was about to take a closer look, he heard Xuan Bei explain: "This token is your identity and basis for activities in Leiyin Temple, and your merit points will also be recorded on it. Annual salary distribution, etc., will also be notified through this token."
"As for these scriptures, they are the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Medicine Master Sutra, etc. They are all my Zen classics. You need to study them carefully after you go back and try to figure them out, so that we can check them at any time. The scriptures and meanings in it.”
"Although we accept disciples on behalf of our masters, your supply is the same as that of my Leiyin Temple disciples. Therefore, you can stay in the temple with peace of mind. The monk's robes and other clothing are also the same as those of my Leiyin Temple disciples." same."
"It's just that your generation is a little different from the monks of Leiyin Temple. You need to remember these things."
Qian Yunsheng's heart trembled. On the surface, he nodded silently, but in fact, he secretly thought that the important point was coming.
I heard Xuan Bei continue: "In my Leiyin Temple, the monks of this generation are ranked according to "Xuan, Hui, Xu, and Kong." "
"But Qizhi Tutuo is a single monk in our temple, so his seniority is different from that of the monks in the temple. His Dharma name is 'Yin Chuan', which is the seniority of 'Hong, Tai, Yin, Fa'."
"So if you rank him according to his backup, he should be the one with the title of Fa. After some discussion, I decided that the title given to you is: "Faru"."
"I hope you will remain consistent and never forget your true intentions."
When Qian Yunsheng heard what Xuan Bei said, he knew that he finally had a Dharma title, so he bowed his head respectfully again and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, little monk Faru, I have met all of you!"
Xuanbei shook his hand and said, "That's wrong. Qizhi Tutuo is a senior master. How can we dare to compete with him? From now on, we will just be our equals."
Qian Yunsheng secretly thought, this is not bad. Although he is a bit older, he said respectfully: "You are all my masters of teaching, how dare Fa Ru be disrespectful?"
Xuan Bei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are just teaching the Dharma on behalf of the master. From now on, you don't have to be formal in the temple, just do what you want."
Now Qian Yunsheng knew that he couldn't resist, so he had to use the earliest title, calling Master, and thanked the old monks one by one again.
After all the old monks had returned their greetings, Xuan Bei called Huikong who was standing in the hall watching the ceremony and said:
"From now on, I will be your uncle Faru. You and I must treat each other as respectfully as we do, do you understand?"
After seeing Huikong saying yes, Xuanbei nodded with satisfaction and said, "You should go down now and take Faru with you to see if the cave left by Seven Finger Tutuo can still be used."
"After everything has been arranged, you can take him to the Prajna Hall tomorrow and I will personally teach him the 'Hama Demon Subduing Finger' technique."
"Yes!" This kind of thing is not uncommon in Xu Shi Buddhism. Huikong didn't see anything strange in his face. He said to Qian Yunsheng honestly: "Uncle Faru, please come this way!"
Qian Yunsheng knew the most important rules in Buddhism. One moment he was calling Huikong the master, but now the next moment he came and became his uncle. He was a little dumbfounded for a while, but he had to follow them. shouted.
He stood up, saluted all the eminent monks, and then put on the monk's robes, looking exactly like an enlightened eminent monk.
Then he took out the diamond beads and followed Huikong to fly out of the Prajna Hall to see his new cave.
