Chapter 202: Topping the Bliss(2/2)
His wife Zhang Li helped her son take care of the monk's clothes, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles. Thinking that he would never see him again, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Li'er has never been far away, and I don't know if I can bear it. I need to prepare more expenses when I go out."
"What do women know? Li'er is dressed in clothes like this. No matter where he goes, he eats and drinks casually. If something really happens, everyone has to lend a helping hand, otherwise it will be disrespectful to me, the Buddha."
Zhang Shun scolded his wife, turned around and said flatteringly: "Li'er, you must be pious when the Buddha is born. Don't think about your family. Returning to the embrace of the Buddha is the most important thing!"
Zhang Li was originally a naughty and mischievous person, but when he put on the monk's robes, he suddenly became dignified and spoke in a lowered voice.
"Amitabha! This poor monk will surely go through countless hardships and reach the bliss of the West. At that time, the Buddha's light will surely come down to protect you!"
Zhang Shun was slightly startled, as if he didn't recognize his son, but attending the Buddha's birthday was the most important thing at the moment, so he clasped his hands in return.
"My Buddha is merciful, and I only wish that the master will be crowned with bliss!"
Mrs. Zhang Li shrank the hands she used to take care of her clothes, quickly stood behind her husband, and followed him to salute.
As soon as Zhang Li entered Buddhism, he cut off his seven emotions and six desires. From then on, he no longer had to kneel down to his parents. Even if they met him face to face, he would just put his palms together and ask questions.
Zhang Shun doesn't care about this. In Buddhism, there has long been a saying that "one person becomes a monk and nine tribes ascend to heaven." Now Zhang Lin can achieve bliss, and both his parents and clan members can enjoy the blessings of Buddhism.
Being a monk is a blessing of good deeds for many lifetimes!
At this time.
A four-year-old girl came out of the house with sleepy eyes. When she saw her brother in monk robes, she giggled and rushed towards him for a hug.
"Don't mess around!"
Zhang Shun stopped his daughter and taught him a lesson with a straight face: "From now on, he is no longer your brother, but a guru."
The little girl was confused when she heard this and said with curled lips: "Then brother won't play with me anymore?"
"Of course I can't."
Zhang Shun knows that there are many rules in Buddhism, and he must teach his children from an early age to avoid bumping into the guru and the whole family becoming inferiors.
"The master has attained the highest level of bliss and has cut off the worldly world. He is neither my son nor your brother. You must be respectful and courteous when you meet him!"
The little girl wondered: "What is the difference between guru and brother?"
"With the blessing of our master, our family will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, we can wear brocade clothes and satin, and enjoy wealth and glory."
Seeing his daughter's confusion, Zhang Shun changed his explanation: "You like to eat frosting. You can eat as much as you want in the future. You can also eat candies. Those are delicacies that only noble people are entitled to eat."
The little girl still didn't understand, but when she heard that she could eat sweets, she immediately smiled and knelt down with her hands clasped together.
"Greetings, Brother Guru!"
"Amitabha!"
Zhang Li resisted the urge to play with his sister, put his palm on her forehead, and solemnly said: "My Buddha is merciful and gives you peace and joy!"
"Peace and joy are good."
Zhang Shun smiled broadly, and some of the worries in his heart disappeared.
There are many rumors in the market that after a certain eminent monk became a monk, he no longer asked anything about the secular world, and the family could not take advantage of it. Seeing that the master still has feelings for the Zhang family, it will be much easier to do things in the future, and the bad feelings in his heart will be relieved.
Come out.
"The guy named Hu wears dog skin and often comes to our shop to eat and drink. Now he has received the blessing of the master..."
Zhang Shun secretly glanced at his son as he spoke, and seeing that his expression did not change, he continued: "I must pay back ten times the price, or else I will go to Xiaotan Temple to complain, and his family will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell!"
Zhang Li said worriedly: "Hu Yamen is an official after all. He is in charge of many things. All he needs to do is pay back the wine money he owes."
"What do you, a woman, know? I've already found someone to find out."
Zhang Shun said: "According to our Buddhist laws, the guy named Hu is suspected of committing the following crimes, and it involves members of the Guru clan. He must be severely punished."
Buddhist law is also divided into four levels. Monks are above the law, and the rest abide by different laws according to different levels. Even monks who do evil have a higher status than ordinary people and are not punished by the law. They can be eliminated by reciting sutras in seclusion.
Karma!
While speaking.
A black-hatted government official came in from outside, holding a gift box in his hand and standing at the second threshold with a bow.
"Meet the Master!"
"Brother Zhang, the yamen received a salary today, so we think it's time to pay back the wine money we owe."
"I've been using credit for so long, and I'm very sorry for delaying Brother Zhang's turnover. If anything happens on the street from now on, just give me your order, and I'll handle it for you!"
…
The next day.
early morning.
Zhang Shun's family and dozens of other members of his clan saw off the master at the gate of the city.
Zhang Li boarded the carriage going to the Bodhi Buddha Land and gradually drove away. He looked back at his parents and relatives who looked very similar to each other, and suddenly felt a trace of regret.
"Amitabha!"
He clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, silently recited the scriptures in his heart, and forced his tears back, his eyes gradually turning into silence!
