This dream made me confused again, and I didn’t know what the brothers Black and White Wuchang were up to. Why did they come to see me every day?
The man in white clothes they brought had a strange appearance. He looked like an old man. When he saw me, he knelt down and kept bowing to me.
I was very surprised and wanted to ask what he was doing. The man in white's mouth was moving, probably talking, but strangely, I couldn't hear a word.
It was probably because he saw that I didn't respond, and then he started crying again, crying very sadly, and kept begging me.
But I didn't know what he wanted to do, so I looked at the two evil spirits, black and white, and wanted to ask what was going on.
However, the two brothers didn't say anything. They watched the man in white knelt down and begged for a long time. Then they bowed their hands to me, turned around and left with the man in white.
The whole process was like muting the sound, which made me very depressed. It was like watching a movie with muted sound and no subtitles. Who knows what it means?
When I woke up the next day, I told Uncle Ma about this strange dream.
He thought for a while and then said to me: "Just watch, I guess there will be a lot of people coming to you for salvation in the past two days, or there will be a lot of undead coming to you for help. Dreaming about black and white is an omen. This brother The two of them usually don’t come looking for people easily.”
I said, "Did I help that little ghost girl Wang Meiyun and give money to those lonely ghosts on Tianheng Mountain? Did the Underworld know about this?"
Uncle Ma said: "That should be the case. When the Yin Division saw that you were kind-hearted and willing to help ghosts, they simply gave you some extra work and assigned you a task. It just meets the requirements of your old Monument King."
This is true, but I didn't understand, who is the man in white, and what is he crying for me?
Uncle Ma said that you should stop guessing and just go to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to worship, recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and feel it to see if there is any enlightenment for you.
This sentence woke me up. To be honest, I haven’t recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra for a long time, because it is too long, and it makes me sleepy every time.
Recently, I have only recited the Diamond Sutra, because it is shorter, and I found that my recitation of the Diamond Sutra is very smooth, and I don’t get stuck in any sentence, but it takes a little more effort to recite other sutras.
Therefore, I also have the same shortcomings as ordinary people. I specially choose those that are easy to recite and short. To put it bluntly, I am lazy...
This time I ran to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and bowed before me, lit incense again, then sat down and started reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
As expected, after about half an hour of chanting, I started to feel dizzy again and fell asleep.
But this time I challenged myself and thought I must stick to it and see what it’s like.
After all, I have done so many meritorious deeds, and my karma should have been eliminated a lot, so I won’t be the same as before, even if I can faint even if I recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra, right?
So I persisted for a while, and about halfway through the recitation, I found that I was better than before and not so sleepy, but my mind was still a little unclear and I felt like I was dreaming.
After a while, I finally couldn't hold on any longer and started dreaming with my eyes open.
I believe everyone will have this experience, that is, you have to insist on staying up even though you are very sleepy, and then your mind will become very confused, and even like me, you can dream with your eyes open.
In a daze, I felt that a temple appeared in front of me, located on a high mountain, with white clouds slowly drifting across the sky.
And I stood in front of the temple, watching all this in confusion, and then walked into the temple without knowing it.
But there was no one in the temple. I entered the mountain gate, walked through the square, and then came to a main hall.
There is a corridor in this hall, with many guardian statues on both sides, each with different shapes. I kept walking in, but there was still no one in front of me, and the whole hall was empty.
Walking all the way to the depths of the hall, there were three statues in front of me. Before I could see what they were, I found a monk standing in front of the statues, clasping his hands and looking at me with a smile.
As if he was waiting here, he looked at me and said something.
"Sir, you are back."
In an instant, my mind was shocked, as if the bells and drums in the temple were ringing. This sentence hit my heart and surprised me.
Why does this monk call me Venerable? ? ?
However, the monk seemed to have anticipated my reaction. He still smiled, then held my hand and walked out of the hall with me.
Soon we came to the square. The monk looked up to the sky, and I couldn't help but follow him.
The next moment, the white clouds in the sky changed, and the appearance of a Buddha and Bodhisattva slowly appeared.
I looked closely and found that it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
Seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Dharma, I seemed to be enlightened in an instant. In that instant, many past events and images flashed through my mind like a movie.
The monk just now looked at me with a smile and said, "Venerable Sir, have you ever thought of the past?"
I knelt on the ground and watched Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bow down. I could not help but tremble all over and burst into tears.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also looked at me, with a smile on his face and a slight nod of his head.
At this moment, I seemed to have remembered everything and understood why the monk called me "Venerable".
Because in my previous life, I was the Dharma protector Jialan Venerable beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
But I don’t know why. As a Dharma protector, how did I reincarnate as a human being?
I felt indescribably sad and filled with emotions for a while.
But when the scene reached this point, I suddenly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had stopped chanting sutras at some point.
But was everything that happened just now a dream, or was it a teaching given to me by the Buddha and Bodhisattva?
I touched my face and there were obviously tears.
Then I looked up at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of me, and I suddenly realized that the old man seemed to be smiling at me, with his jaw slightly tilted, exactly like the image just now!
At that moment I couldn't control myself. I turned over and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Then I felt so sad and sad that I couldn't help crying, with tears streaming down my face.
I have never been like this. Before this, I have always been very calm about Buddhism. I think I have faith, but I am not superstitious. I always believe that people can control themselves.
But at that moment, I really couldn't control it. I kept crying for a long time, and finally stopped slowly.
Then I raised my head, clasped my hands, and said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Master, I have realized this, and I have finally found myself."
I was still sad at this moment, like a wandering child who finally found a home.
After a while, my mood slowly calmed down. I stood up and looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva respectfully. I felt indescribably comfortable and happy.
Then I wiped my tears again, then came to Uncle Ma and told him everything I had just seen.
Uncle Ma was also surprised. He looked at me with a smile and said, "You can do it. In your previous life, you were actually the protector Jialan beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. That's amazing."
I was also very happy in my heart, but I still didn't understand. Why did my good Dharma Protector Jialan misbehave and go to the human world to suffer this crime?
Does the man in white that Black and White Wuchang brought last night have anything to do with this matter?
