The coronation ceremony ends
The strange thing in the sky caused countless people on the earth to kneel down and worship. Those with other religious beliefs thought that they had caused the miracle.
But when it comes to the last word: Ancestor Mingzun is safe!
Make them dumbfounded
What's going on with him? He's not the boss of his own faith~!
In the main hall of the Shaolin Temple, a group of monks stared at Jiese who was presiding. Last time Li Mingda sorted out religious issues, the huge Shaolin Temple lost a quarter of its staff. In fact, this is a good thing, after all, there are fewer people. For an old temple like Baima, the foundation is still sufficient.
"Abbott, what do we want with this miracle in the sky?"
Rehabbing is also a headache. You said you have become a monk in a good way, but you can't resign yet. The old monk who brought him here has given instructions that if he dares to run away, his legs will be broken by the Eighteen Arhats.
Jingse: "What else can we do now? Follow Taoism and merge into the Mingzun Holy Sect, and listen to the teachings of the ancestor of all immortals."
"But, abbot, am I, Buddha, willing?"
Jingse: "Why don't I send you to the West to ask questions? You can send me a message later."
The people below stopped talking.
Asked in the West, if you go there and you can't come back, is there any need to ask? Everyone is cultivating the afterlife.
"Abbott, junior brother, what I cultivate is the afterlife."
Jingse: "Why are you so scared when you can't go? Recite your sutra honestly. If we hadn't suppressed you back then, you would have gone to Chang'an to cause trouble. If you really bumped into Mingzun's reincarnation, Mingzun would blame me and come down to Shaolin Temple." It turned into a handful of ashes.”
"Abbott Wisdom"
"Okay, that's it. Go and send a letter to Jie Chi, saying that I'll set off for Chang'an."
The Eighteen Arhats surrounded Jiese: "May I ask what the abbot is going to do?"
Jiese jumped up directly and pointed at the Eighteen Arhats: "Go away, you eighteen fools, I won't go to Chang'an City to talk to the Mingzun Holy Sect. You only know how to talk about chanting scriptures. If you can't protect the Mahavira Palace, you will It's called Mingzun's cabin, go away, don't touch me...ah..."
Jie Se was knocked unconscious, and the Eighteen Arhats looked at each other.
"Master has a message"
"You can't leave Shaolin Temple if you are abstinent"
"Even if it means breaking his legs"
"right"
A group of monks clasped their hands together: "Amitabha, thank you for your hard work, Abbot."
Jie Se woke up again and was already in his meditation room. He opened his eyes and looked at the familiar figure Sheng Sheng. He silently shed tears in his heart: God wants to kill me. I don't want to be a monk. I finally have a chance. As long as I merge into By honoring the holy religion, I will have a chance to escape from the sea of suffering. My little brother, you are enduring the grievances.
While Jiese was chanting, the eighteen Arhats surrounding him outside were also discussing.
"It's not a problem to knock the abbot unconscious every day, right?"
"What can we do? When the master left, he told the abbot that he would not be able to go down the mountain."
"Yes, he said he was destined to commit a peach blossom incident."
"It's not evil"
"It's killing"
"you sure?"
"Amitabha, you must have been distracted and forgotten at that time."
"Amitabha, sin, sin, sin"
"Okay, Peach Blossom Evil may just be unlucky. This killing will be a fatal blow, and it may also implicate our Buddhist family, so please work harder."
"If it doesn't work, let's break senior brother's legs."
"I interrupted, can you still pick up?"
"The third thing I said"
The other seventeen Arhats among the Eighteen Arhats looked at the Arhat who spoke with strange eyes.
The other party was obviously a little uncomfortable being looked at: "This will make the abbot powerless, and there will be no trouble."
A squeaking sound
Jiese opened the door and pointed at the monk who had just come up with the idea: "Fuhu, you bastard, I usually have such a good relationship with you, and I secretly gave you a roast chicken, but you are holding back the harm." Me~!"
good guy
Three cases in one sentence
Fuhu was stunned: "Abbott, didn't you say that was tofu?"
Jingse: "Don't do this, you're the one who caught me~!"
Seventeen arhats surrounded Fu Hu. Jie Se was afraid that something might happen, so he said to stop him: "Don't do it, my fellow disciples, it won't be a big mistake if you make some mistakes."
"You eat alone"
“Lied to us and said we were going to collect medicine.”
"Asshole"
"Why are those two or three chickens gone?"
"We have been watching for a long time"
"Brothers, copy the guy"
"Hit him"
The scene instantly became lively. It was then that I realized that these people were all meat eaters~!
Jingse then remembered that it was Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan who actually started not eating meat. In the history of Buddhism, when Sakyamuni founded Buddhism, he allowed monks to eat meat, but he asked the monks to live their lives. Be more simple and do not allow you to amass money to support yourself. You must be self-reliant or rely on the charity of others.
The Buddhist "Ten Chanting Rules" also contains regulations on eating meat: I eat three kinds of pure meat. How three? Not seen, not heard, not suspected. In other words, as long as you don't see it with your own eyes and don't suspect that it is killing, it is not considered a crime of killing. In this way, meat of "unknown origin" can be eaten and "clean meat" and vegetarian wine have a similar meaning.
It really started with Emperor Xiao Yan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Since he was a devout Buddhist, he believed that eating meat was killing, which violated the Buddhist precept of "not killing".
He gave up eating meat and wine. If he continued to drink alcohol, eat meat, and kill living beings, he would be willing to be punished by ghosts and gods, and would fall into the Abi Hell. He also stipulated that flour should be used instead of livestock for sacrifices in the ancestral temple.
Emperor Wu of Liang strictly abided by his oath. He wears a scarf on his head, cloth clothes, and straw sandals on his feet. He eats only bean paste and coarse rice every day.
Under the leadership of Emperor Wu of Liang, the monks also strictly ate vegetarian food and entertained guests with vegetarian food.
So actually, there are records of this commandment in temples like Shaolin Temple that have been passed down for a long time. The warrior monks practice martial arts every day and are still malnourished in modern times, let alone in this era, so some enlightened abbots have this It's not too much to ask for.
Of course, you can't just take it to the Main Hall to eat, so as long as you don't get discovered secretly, it's okay.
Jiese squatted aside and watched the Eighteen Arhats fight in a group. Yes, it turned into a group fight. When Fuhu was being beaten, he accidentally told the story about other Arhats eating secretly. The missing ingredients over the years were solved instantly.
The Eighteen Arhats took the opportunity to complain and seek revenge.
Jie Se watched the fight scene of the Eighteen Arhats and realized his emotions at this time. The force value of these guys is really not low. Just now when Chang Mei fought against the Dragon Subduer, he accidentally hit a pillar, and there was a fist on the solid wood pillar. The imprint of the long eyebrows is like a normal person, and they continue to do what they should do.
Thinking about my small body again, no wonder I secretly tried to go down the mountain several times but these guys caught me back. With feelings like this, could I really be trapped here for the rest of my life?
After several people finished beating, they clasped their hands together and chanted "Amitabha, sin, sin, sin" and then all the sins were gone.
Jiese came to a few people and said, "Ahem, that's all for now. I would like to ask you, do you have any quick-to-form exercises?"
The oldest of the Eighteen Arhats, the Happy Arhat, replied to the warning: "Yes"
Jiese looked happy: "What's your name?"
Happy Arhat: "Sunflower Collection"
