Bai Xiaoyan said that when she was meditating at home, an image of me appeared in her mind and she saw me chanting sutras in front of the Buddha.
I was a little surprised because she was right. I was indeed chanting sutras in front of the Buddha just now.
This Bai Xiaoyan has already turned on clairvoyance before she takes action?
Then she told me that in addition to seeing me, she also saw the master who established her temple. She was an old lady with short hair. She looked very thin and not tall, but she was very kind.
When I heard this appearance, wasn't this Aunt Hu? !
So I told her that there was indeed such an old lady, just like the one she described.
She was very happy and immediately started researching the itinerary with me. It was finally confirmed that she would come to Harbin to see me during the National Day holiday this year.
After Uncle Ma learned about it, he smiled and said to me, "You can do it. Are you taking on apprentices?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is not because I want to accept a disciple. She insists that I was her master in the previous life, and I was quite obedient, so let's accept it..."
Uncle Ma chuckled: "You can pull her down. Is that a question of being obedient? I think it's because she's pretty, right?"
I scratched my head and said sheepishly: "That's strange, why do these people who come to me look so good-looking?"
Uncle Ma gave me a look of disdain: "Bah, I'm too embarrassed to expose you. Are they looking for you to look good? They are ugly and you can't remember any of them!"
I have to say that Uncle Ma’s words really exposed me...
I didn’t take it seriously. I said it was normal. Everyone loves beauty. Who doesn’t like good-looking people? When you go to square dance, why do you look for dance partners who are in their thirties or forties? Why are you in your sixties and not paying attention to anyone?
Uncle Ma covered my mouth and said that we should not expose each other. Our house is full of gods and Buddhas now, so we don’t dare to talk nonsense...
Days passed like this. Although there were not as many people coming to see the divination as before, I have become a lot cleaner. I have more time to practice and spend more time with Uncle Ma.
Ma Yunfeng has always criticized me for this. He said that I don't know how to make progress, and I am already a grown-up. I don't want to make money to buy a house and marry a wife. I have no desires or desires every day.
I said why are you so obsessed with money? You were brainwashed by your master in the past, and you haven't changed this problem now. You are only thinking about money.
He said that you are noble and great. If housing prices rise in two years, we will see if you are dumbfounded or not.
I said that's not necessarily the case. What if the price of the house drops?
Uncle Ma supported Ma Yunfeng in this matter. He touched his chin and said to me: "The price has dropped. It's too bad to lose it. It will only become more and more expensive in the future..."
However, Ma Yunfeng is indeed more realistic than me. At that time, I always felt that the money in my pocket was enough for the down payment. Don't take money too seriously, otherwise it would mess up your mind.
Later, I chatted with Li Na from Chongqing. She said that this is not the case at all. Making money will not necessarily mess up your Taoist mind. If you can view this matter correctly, it will strengthen your Taoist mind.
When you have money, you can do a lot of good deeds to make yourself more fulfilled. But when you have no money, all you can think about is how to make money and survive, and you can barely eat. Where do you find your thoughts and ideas? Time to practice? Where do you find the thought and ability to help others?
As the saying goes, poverty breeds treachery, while wealth breeds conscience. This sentence is not entirely true. In reality, there are actually more people who are unkind for the sake of wealth, but it certainly makes sense.
Li Na told me that her master was the abbot of a large temple, but he not only guarded a temple, but also had an investment company. He was also a businessman, very rich, and had even invested in movies.
I was a little surprised. I said this cultivator and monk are still doing business and making movies?
Li Na said that this is normal. Great practitioners never care about these external appearances and will not be controlled or interfered by external appearances.
Moreover, a practitioner also needs money. He has to build a temple, maintain the expenses of the temple, and there are many disciples. Everyone has to eat. How can we promote Buddhism if we don’t have money to eat? Who said that monks must be paupers?
And times have changed, and everything is different. If you ask a monk to beg for alms, he can’t even enter the community gate. You can’t say that a monk has become bad when you see him making money, but you have to look at what he uses the money for. place.
Li Na also said that her master never cares about the amount when reading divination for others, he only cares about the fate. If you give him 500, he won't be upset. If you give him 50,000, he will accept it with a smile.
I said, what if I gave him five dollars?
Li Na laughed and said you can give it a try. Paying five yuan means that you have no sincerity or respect at all. Reading the divination with such an attitude means that you are only worth five yuan, so you might as well not read it. , so as not to cause trouble for yourself.
This statement touched me a little. Even though Li Na is so careless, what she sometimes says is quite Zen-like.
In fact, the matter of hexagram gold is exactly what Li Na said. How much hexagram gold you give is not actually how much the master who reads the hexagram is worth, but how much you yourself are worth.
If your living conditions are okay and you trust the master, then you can directly give him a thousand yuan of hexagram gold. At this time, in the eyes of the master, you are worth a thousand gold, and he will feel that you have a thousand yuan of sincerity. , he will give it to you for one thousand yuan.
If you are doing big business and you give the master 10,000 yuan to ask for a divination, then you are worth ten thousand yuan in the eyes of the master, and he will naturally give it to you according to the standard of 10,000 yuan.
Based on this theory, if you are obviously very rich, but you only give the master five yuan and ten yuan, then you are only worth five yuan and ten yuan to the master, because your attitude is to send beggars away, then the master will treat you naturally. That is to say, it is the same as sending someone to beg for food.
Of course, this is not to encourage everyone to give more money, nor is it to let others order the dishes, but to express your sincerity within your ability.
A truly virtuous master will not look at the amount of money. For example, if you only have one hundred yuan in your body, but you take out all one hundred yuan as a thank you gift, the master will think that your one hundred yuan is worth more than others. A thousand yuan is still precious.
Maybe after reading the hexagram, the master will not charge you a penny.
But if you are a big business person, you will have to bear more karma than others when reading divination for you, because there will be more things and people involved, so you must give more at this time.
Otherwise, it will be bad for yourself.
But sometimes, her master would set a price for fortune telling, such as a minimum of eight hundred thousand. This was not done to make money, but because her master was busy at that time, and in order to prevent harassment from some people, she simply used this Way to set a limit.
After hearing what Li Na said, I was very curious and asked her for a photo of her master to see what kind of master he was.
