After Ah Fang responded, he walked under the big banyan tree, looked at the big stone carefully for a while, and then said, "Dao Hua, I think this stone looks like a person."
Su Xiaohua asked: "Who does he look like?"
Afang pointed to the big stone and said, "The upper part of this big stone looks like a human head, and the bulge below looks like a person's big belly. I think it looks like a Laughing Maitreya Buddha sitting cross-legged."
Su Xiaohua slapped her thigh and shouted: "Yes, it does look like Maitreya's Laughing Buddha! Wife, your vision is sharper than mine."
Zhang Shaofei laughed when he heard what the couple said: "Just now you said it was a very ordinary big stone, why do you now say it is Maitreya's Laughing Buddha?"
Su Xiaohua pointed to the big stone and asked Zhang Shaofei: "Little brother, why did I feel completely different just now from now?"
Zhang Shaofei said loudly: "Uncle, uncle, if you believe it, it is a Buddha. If you don't believe it, it is still a stone."
Su Xiaohua seemed to be enlightened and said seriously: "Now it is a Buddha in front of my eyes, and it is a Maitreya Buddha sending his son."
Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Uncle, that's what I meant just now."
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
Zhang Shaofei saw that the sorrow on the faces of Su Xiaohua and his wife had been wiped away, and they became energetic. He pointed at his mind and said: "The nature of Bodhi in the world is originally pure, but with this mind, you can see your nature and become a Buddha."
Su Xiaohua pondered the meaning of this sentence: "Seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha?"
Zhang Shaofei further contextualized him: "Uncle, in fact, the living Buddha you are looking for is in your own heart."
"The Living Buddha is in my heart?" Su Xiaohua waved her hands, "No way. I am a mountain person, how can the Living Buddha be in my heart? Little brother, don't lie to me!"
"I didn't lie to you," Zhang Shaofei said with a serious face, "You must know that everyone in the world has Buddha nature."
Su Xiaohua found Zhang Shaofei's words incredible and said, "Little brother, I really can't believe what you say. I, an ordinary person, can also have Buddha nature?"
Zhang Shaofei said with certainty: "Yes! I am telling the truth. Walking, sitting, and lying down are all places of enlightenment, and everyone can become a Buddha."
"Can everyone become a Buddha?" Su Xiaohua thought about this sentence and seemed to have some insights, "Little brother, no one has ever said such a thing to me."
"I think besides finding the Buddha here, you also have to find a good doctor to prescribe some medicine when you go back down the mountain. I think your wishes will come true soon." Zhang Shaofei looked at Mei Lin over there and continued, "Here, I also want to tell you that everything is subject to the will of heaven. Man's plan is up to man, and God's success is up to him!"
Su Xiaohua clapped her hands in surprise: "Hey! Little brother, what you said is very clear. This time I am really convinced by you. You showed me the way here today, so that I am no longer so ignorant."
Zhang Shaofei waved his hands: "You don't have to thank me. This is a virtue you have cultivated yourself."
After a while, Su Xiaohua and his wife happily bought incense and candle offerings, and went to the hilltop of Tianlu Mountain with his wife A Fang. They burned incense and lit candles at the big stone under the big banyan tree that he believed to be the "Maitreya Laughing Buddha". , worship, pray and make wishes.
At this time, a young man and woman happened to come to Tianlu Mountain to play. They saw Su Xiaohua and his wife kneeling and worshiping in front of the big stone. They were very strange and asked: "Uncle, why do you kneel and worship this stone so devoutly?"
Su Xiaohua looked serious: "You are young and don't know the inside story. What I worship is not a big stone, but a Buddha."
The man's name was Acan. He was even more surprised after hearing this: "Uncle, I clearly saw that this is a big stone, how could it be a Buddha?"
The woman who came with her was named Aqin, and she added, "Yes, this is just an ordinary big stone."
"What you said is exactly the same as my opinion when I first arrived here," Su Xiaohua pointed at the big stone and said, "Look at its head and its big belly. Does it look like a sitting upright Laughing Buddha of Maitreya?"
A-can looked at the big stone and said to Su Xiaohua: "After you said this, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a Laughing Maitreya Buddha!" Then he turned to the young woman and asked: "A-Qin, look Woolen cloth?"
Aqin pointed to the big stone and nodded: "Listening to what you said, the more I look at it, the more it looks like Maitreya's Laughing Buddha!"
Acan said: "The Laughing Buddha Maitreya is the Buddha who gives birth to his son!"
Su Xiaohua: "Exactly!"
Acan suddenly realized this and said to Su Xiaohua: "Ah, uncle, it turns out you are asking for an heir."
Su Xiaohua lowered her voice slightly: "Yes, there are only four of us here. I might as well explain to you that at our age, we really came up the mountain to ask for an heir."
Acan said to the woman, "Aqin, they kneel down to this Buddha statue to pray for a son. Let's come and pay our respects later."
Aqin blushed with embarrassment: "We are not married yet, and we are here to ask for children?"
Acan: "It's a matter of time. Let's learn from this uncle and sister-in-law."
Aqin put her mouth next to Acan's ear and whispered: "Acan, just do as you say. But we won't come to pay our respects until the uncle and aunt have finished paying their respects and left."
Acan: "Aqin, you are always so shy, okay, I will obey you this time, and we will come again after the uncle and auntie have finished paying their respects and left."
So, after Su Xiaohua and his wife left, Acan and Aqin, two young men and women, also knelt down to the big stone, prayed and made wishes.
After Acan and Aqin prayed and made wishes, they left the hilltop holding hands.
A round of bright sun hangs high in the sky, and the mountain stream next to the hilltop jingles in the sun, carrying the sparkling sunlight and wrapping it like a ribbon around the big stone that resembles the Laughing Buddha Maitreya.
The bright sun spreads gold, paving the stone steps next to the big stone with a layer of gold dust, like a splendid road to heaven. Indeed, this is nothing less than the golden road leading to the paradise world. I don't know whether Zhang Shaofei's body is really shining, or whether it is the sunlight reflecting from the side. There is a golden halo around the outline of Zhang Shaofei's body, making him look somewhat mysterious, somewhat sacred, somewhat kind, somewhat majestic, and somewhat cool. , how much mercy...
Zhang Shaofei stared at the clear mountain stream next to the hillock, walked to the mountain stream, and planned to wash the cassock he brought with him in the mountain stream.
The mountain stream is winding and winding, with brilliant mountain flowers floating in the sky, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. It draws an arc in front of the hillock, and then runs into the distance with joy and singing.
Mountains and streams are like strings and hooks. Like a string that softly chants the Bodhi tune, like a hook that does not hold the head of a white cloud, the Zen rhythm is quiet and quiet. Zhang Shaofei washed his cassock, shook it with his hands, and raised it above his head. At this moment, a miracle happened: the sky where the sun was shining just now suddenly turned dark, and he couldn't see his fingers...
