If you go back and meditate hard, and you have achieved a certain amount of meditation skills, you will also have this magical power. Master Enlightenment did not directly answer his words, he only said this.
Master, there are dozens of monks in the temple, and they meditate every day. Why haven’t they developed magical powers like yours? The little novice monk wants to break the casserole pattern (ask) to the end.
That's a matter of kung fu. Master Enlightenment walked away as he spoke.
Others say that Master has supernatural powers, but I have never seen with my own eyes what supernatural powers you have. If there is indeed a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waiting for you to ask questions when you return to the temple today, then I will really believe it. The little novice said straightforwardly.
oh! You even started gambling with me. It's just a common habit among lay people. Master Wu suddenly stopped and said that if you want to bet, just bet once! What are you betting on?
Master, bet on this, if there is someone waiting for you in the temple to ask questions, you will punish me to sweep the temple for three days in a row; if there is no one waiting for you to ask questions in the temple, I will punish you to give me a sutra lecture alone, okay? ?
Little novice monk, you have to be more serious. Master is willing to lose to you. We'll see! If you want to lose, Master can afford to lose. Master Wu smiled and said,
oh! If Master loses, since Master has no supernatural powers, he should give me a private lecture. The little novice monk walking on the mountain road clapped his hands and shouted with joy.
Just as I approached Yuantong Temple on the hillside of Hutou Mountain, I suddenly noticed two women, an old man and a young man, walking out of the temple gate. The old woman asked the Master Wu who was walking calmly towards him, "Are you Master Wu?"
The little novice monk is kidding me. He is my master, Master Enlightenment. What's the matter?
oops! Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came here early in the morning, just as your master was leaving. We waited from early morning until now, it is already afternoon, and finally your master has arrived. Of course he has something to do. The old woman vomited quickly.
Since I have something to ask, come with me to the monastery to talk about it. Master Enlightenment said as he walked. The old woman followed behind and introduced herself. She pointed to the young woman accompanying her and said, "She is my daughter-in-law, her name is Jin Mingfang. We are from Huacun."
Master Enlightenment, who has supernatural powers, made it clear without her having to introduce her too much. He said, I know. Even if you don’t tell me your name, I also know that your name is Xing Hexiu, right?
Xing Hexiu was stunned and praised, "It's really better to hear once than to see once. I met the master today, and my understanding is indeed extraordinary!"
Where, where? Master Realization spoke humbly.
The little novice also followed him for a while, then suddenly ran forward and extended his thumb to Master Jingwu. Master Jingwu waved his hand and said to him, you have been working hard on the cleanliness of the temple these days.
The little novice stuck out his tongue again, made a grimace and said with a smile, Master, you are so clever, I admire you. I kept my word and took care of the cleaning of the temple for these two or three days.
When the Master of Enlightenment was about to approach the monastery, he turned back to the little novice who was standing in the temple grounds and no longer followed him. However, I will reward you for your hard work, but I still have to take time to give you a private lecture. .
Xing Hexiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no idea that the young novice monks had made a "bet" with each other because they were waiting for Master Wu to ask questions at Yuantong Temple. They didn't care, they only cared that Master Wu truthfully told the questions they came all the way to ask.
When they arrived at the monastery, Master Zhuowu lit a stick of sandalwood in front of the shrine of a Buddha statue. He also asked Xing Hexiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to each light a stick and insert it into the incense burner, and they worshiped the Buddha statue one after another with Master Zhuowu.
For a moment, the fragrant smell of sandalwood filled the entire monastery, and the fragrant mist rose, creating a solemn religious atmosphere. Xing Hexiu looked at Master Zhuowu who was sitting cross-legged on the futon and was about to ask something. Master Zhuowu said, "No need to ask. I know your family's situation well. My daughter-in-law married in and gave birth to two baby boys one after another in more than a year." It was broken when it was just one month old, and it was stillborn, right?
Master, how come you know so well? Xing Hexiu kowtowed to him as he spoke, and Jin Mingfang also kowtowed.
Xing Hexiu was about to ask the reason, but Master Zhuowu answered, "No need to ask the reason, I know it's your wife's fault."
Jin Mingfang trembled in her heart and looked at him with wide eyes. Master Wu also met her gaze and told her, when you were a girl, you wanted to have a good voice and eat more raw eggs. But later on, when your family didn’t have money to buy raw eggs, you just Take advantage of your beauty and instruct a boy named Pei Yongza who likes you to catch bird eggs for you.
Jin Mingfang nodded while listening, with a look of shame on her face. She didn't dare to raise her head, and even if she did, she was frightened. Because I understand that what the Master said is just like what he has experienced himself, every detail is accurate. Master Wu continued to explain why:
Because you ate too many hairy eggs and fertilized bird eggs, you created a lot of killing karma. The first baby boy you died was the result of one of the many hairy eggs you had eaten that died before it hatched. The soul of the second dead baby boy was reincarnated in your womb. The soul of one of the many fertilized bird eggs you have eaten was reincarnated in your womb. Why can't they feed them? Woolen cloth? Obviously, he is not here to be your son, but to collect debts.
So if my daughter-in-law continues to get pregnant and gives birth to a girl or a baby, will she be able to support her? Xing Hexiu asked directly.
It's hard! If she doesn't repent, do good deeds, and save the souls of those chickens and birds, I'm afraid she won't be able to support several more children. Master Wu also answered very directly.
Jin Mingfang was so anxious that she began to cry, but she did not cry out. Tears fell one by one on the back of her slender and white hands.
I know that I have accumulated good deeds by doing good deeds, but how can I repent? How to transcend the souls of those chickens and birds? Xing Hexiu wants to find out.
Master Wu asked Jin Mingfang to recite the Buddha's name ten times every morning and evening, and then silently admit her fault to the souls of the eggs and bird eggs that she had eaten, and to abstain from eating meat and vegetarian food, so that the children born after ten years would be easier to raise. .
Xing Hexiu said, that was too long ago. Ten years later, my daughter-in-law will be in her thirties.
Master Jiwu said that some women can have children even when they are forty or fifty years old! However, he still talked about a more effective way to repent and make amends, asking the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to build bird nests on the trees in the deep mountains and old forests to give wild birds a home, in order to pray for the good fortune of those who were forced to satisfy Jin Mingfang. And the forgiveness of the souls of dead chickens and birds.
After returning home, Xing Hexiu reminded Jin Mingfang to follow Master Wu's instructions and chant the Buddha's name ten times every morning and evening after getting up and before going to bed to rinse her mouth to show her piety. At the same time, I silently repented to the ghosts of the chickens and birds. Xing Hexiang also accompanies Jin Mingfang to recite his prayers, and invites a Guanyin Bodhisattva to Yuantong Temple to burn incense every day.
After Hua Cai and Hua Xinmin and his son learned about the situation, they also cooperated in doing this. However, Hua Cai was not very happy. He took Xinmin aside and whispered that doing so might not be effective and would be more troublesome. I advise you to divorce Jin Mingfang and find a young girl to get married and have children. It would be safer.
Xinmin didn't answer for a long time. He had feelings for Jin Mingfang and loved Jin Mingfang deeply. He spent too much energy for Jin Mingfang and offended his classmate Pei Yongzha. If he divorced Jin Mingfang as his father said, he would do it. If he doesn't come out, at least he won't be so heartless now. Although it is relatively easy to do this, because the couple has not yet raised children and has no trouble in raising children.
At this moment, Huacai lit up a cigarette and smoked a few words. The smoke filled him, and he became energetic. He squinted his eyes and said, Xinmin, if you agree, I will guarantee that I will ask a matchmaker to find you a yellow-flowered girl, no matter what she looks like. , figure, and even voice are no worse than Mingfang, and the next one is even younger than Mingfang.
