Chapter 337

Jiang Cen and Jiang Wu stayed overnight in Huaye temple.

On the second day, Huaye Temple held a solemn and solemn ceremony on the stone platform at the top of the peak to send farewell to the dying monk.

As guests invited by the host, Jiang and Cen were all dressed in plain clothes. The flower host, who was also dressed in an old monk's robe yesterday, also changed into a brand-new monk's robe in plain clothes. He was wearing the Seven Star monk's crown and holding the Abbot's staff. Compared with yesterday, he looked less easygoing and more solemn.

The one who is going to die this time is an old monk in the golden elixir period. In terms of seniority, he is the nephew of Hua.

The old monk sat on the futon with his knees crossed, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked calm. Around the monks sitting around, hand pinching the seal of the Buddha, quietly reciting the Scriptures.

Host Hua looked up at the sky, waited for a moment, and then said, "there is no shortage of martial nephew. The auspicious time is coming. Is martial nephew ready?"

The old monk nodded and said calmly: "nephew, you are ready! Uncle Lao is the guide to enter the pure land of bliss

Host Hua nodded slightly: "I'm in charge of the blissful picture. It's my duty!"

After that, the Abbot's staff was standing beside him, and then he put his hand in his sleeve robe and took out a long and narrow jade box.

The flower host holds up the jade box with both hands, respectfully pays homage to the West for three times, then opens the jade box and takes out a pair of scroll from it.

The flower host slowly unfolds the scroll, and suddenly the golden awn shines everywhere and the Buddha shines in all directions.

"What a treasure of Buddhism!" Jiang Cen secretly praised it.

In the light of the Buddha, Jiang Cen sees that the scroll is a picture of bliss. In the picture, there is a golden Buddha in the sun. The light of the Buddha is shining all over the world. There are bright clouds, lotus flowers, pagodas and pavilions in the temple.

"This is the pure land of bliss in the mouth of the flower host?" Jiang Cen's heart moved. It turned out that the so-called return of Zen monks and the legendary pure land of bliss were just a picture.

Flower host solemnly said: "no lack of martial nephew, I ask for the last time, martial nephew really want to enter the pure land of bliss?"

The old monk opened his eyes, looked directly at the flower host, nodded and said: "nephew, I understand that the dust returns to the earth. After death, I should have lost my soul and entered reincarnation! However, my nephew still has his obsession. "

"My nephew learned Zen Kendo all his life, but he was not so talented. Until recently, he made a breakthrough occasionally. It's a pity that my nephew's birthday is near, so I can't do further understanding. My nephew doesn't want to see this insight disappear, so he hopes to enter the pure land of bliss. "

"In the pure land of bliss, my martial nephew's soul is not scattered, and his heart has no distractions, so he can continue to understand. If there is a day when the obsession will be eliminated, my nephew will release his soul, leave the pure land and return to reincarnation! "

Host Hua nodded slightly: "since you have considered it clearly, I will guide you! Mr. Wu, please start

"There's no shortage!" The old monk, Wu que, gave a little smile to the monks. He was very calm. He had neither the lofty ambition of going to justice generously nor the pain of parting. This was just the most common thing between heaven and earth.

The old monk read a Buddha's name, then put his hands together, closed his eyes and recited sutras, looking pious and peaceful.

Jiang Cen secretly admired him. It seems that the old monk has seen through life and death. He could not help but ask himself, if he had a near birthday, could he be as calm as the old monk.

After reciting a sutra of Bodhidharma, the old monk's breath stopped.

At this time, a green soul flew out of its golden elixir and floated into the air, shaking and dispersing.

Flower host immediately hands, he a palm press out gather soul Buddha seal, seal this wisp of soul, don't let it break up, and then seal the soul by him with the Buddha seal directly on the blissful picture.

The blissful picture shows a light of Buddha and accepts the soul. Since then, there has been another wisp of soul in the picture of bliss, and an eminent monk has entered the pure land of bliss as he wishes.

In this process, the monks have been reciting Buddhist scriptures to see off the dead monk.

The flower master carefully put away the blissful picture, and told the monks to carry the body left by the old monk into the Liujing tower, and burn it with the flame of Buddhism.

Only a monk with a good body and a complete death can get the relic after being burned by the flame of Buddhism.

And this relic, the flower host has obtained the consent of the old monk in advance, will be used to treat the wood immortal who is weak because of the evil spirit.

Jiang Cen watched the ceremony without saying a word. After the ceremony, Jiang Cen asked about the origin of the blissful picture.

Hua said that this picture has been handed down for a long time, at least thousands of years. Zen has been handed down from generation to generation, and in this generation, it is in his charge.

Every ten years, the flower master will take out the picture of bliss and accept the worship of Zen disciples. When worshipping, with the blessing of Buddhist power in the Scriptures, the blissful chart will always keep the Buddhist power full.

All souls who enter into the blissful chart will not die as long as the blissful chart is intact and the Buddha's power is not lost.

The pure land of bliss in the picture of bliss is a kind of special sealed space, in which the soul can live as if it were a real person, with no death, no pain and no disease.

Flower host said: "the so-called everything is empty! After death, they should be spirited away and return to samsara. However, there are always some people who can't see through this life and have some obsessions, so they want to enter the pure land of bliss. ""When their obsession is eliminated, they will disperse their souls, disappear from the blissful picture and return to the six paths of samsara. This blissful picture serves as a place of transition for those infatuated people who are dying but are not ready to return to reincarnation. "

Jiang Cen felt a move in his heart and asked, "except for the eminent monks of Zen, are other people not qualified to enter the pure land of bliss after their death?"

Flower host said with a smile: "no! Buddhists regard all beings as equal. Whether they can enter the pure land of bliss depends on one word. I heard that many years ago, a senior monk couldn't bear to accompany him for many years. After his death, he sealed the soul of the loyal dog in the picture of bliss. "

Jiang Cen said: "is that younger generation predestined with the blissful picture? I want to ask for two places to enter the pure land of bliss. I wonder if it's hard for me? "

The flower host laughed and said, "of course, the two benefactors are predestined friends! But the two benefactors are so young that it's too early to think about what happened behind them! "

"These two places are not for the younger brother and sister, but for someone else. They are a couple that the younger generation knows," Jiang said

"The couple are infatuated with each other, and this pure land of bliss may be their best destination!"

Jiang Wu's heart moves. She hears that Jiang Cen's infatuated couple refers to the master and wife of Xiao castle in the secret place of peach blossom castle.

Master Xiao's wife suffers from a bad disease and is a mortal, so she will take the first step in the end. Master Xiao can't bear to see this day of life and death, so he uses the fragments of the remnant sword to design the reincarnation of time. For more than a thousand years, she has been living for three days and three days. Even master Xiao himself can't extricate himself from the reincarnation of time.
