In Mount Fanjing, there is peace in the pure land, and in the ancient temples deep in the mountains, the sound of chanting can be heard melodiously. Ning Zhe knelt under a bodhi tree, thinking about something.
From behind, a figure walked slowly. He was wearing the abbot's unique cassock. He walked up to Ning Zhe and said, "Jingchen, why did you call me here?"
"Master, my disciple has something that I don't know how to deal with." Ning Zhe said slowly.
Master Qingchan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said, "But for... Donor Leng Yueyan?"
Ning Zhe nodded and said, "I met her in a previous life. In that life, she died to protect me. In the end, I became an immortal, but she died on the path to immortality."
"After ascending to the immortal world, I repented for her under the bodhi tree for thirty thousand years, and finally committed suicide and reincarnated to find her. But in this life, I am not Brahma Kong, and she is not Yuzhu."
"In this life I still yearn for Buddhism, but in my last life I failed Yueyan because of it. I don't want to fail her anymore in this life. I just want to make up for the mistakes in my previous life, but I don't want to harm my holy life."
"Master, what should I do?"
Qingchan frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Do you think this is a cause and effect?"
"Natural calculation, the cause of the past life, the effect of this life." Ning Zhe nodded.
"Since you planted that cause in your previous life, why not clear it up in this life and see the results?" Qingchan asked again.
Ning Zhe sighed slightly and said: "But I don't know how to end it. If it's for her, I have to give up my holy life. If I stick to my Brahma heart, this life will fail her again."
After hearing this, Qingchan clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha's name, saying: "I am afraid that being sentimental will harm my holy life, and when I enter the mountain, I am afraid that I will be surrounded by others. In this world, I can live in peace with the Dharma, and I will live up to the Tathagata and your Majesty."
"This is the perfect word to describe you."
"Yes, I don't want to fail Tathagata, let alone fail her again." Ning Zhe said with a slight frown.
Qingchan seemed to have heard some clues and said: "I can hear that you hope to make up for the causes of the past life. In that case, why don't you choose to face it?"
"But I don't want to waste my holy life because of this, and I don't know what will happen if she and I are together in this life." Ning Zhe shook his head.
"You are a secular monk and are not bound by the strict rules and precepts of Buddhism. You can pursue it boldly." Qingchan said again.
But Ning Zhe shook his head and said: "Although I don't have to abide by it, if I really break the precepts, I will feel uneasy. Buddhism is the place where I was raised since I was a child."
"Yueyan has been kind to me, and I must repay it. Buddhism has also been very kind to me, and I can't live up to both of them."
Qingchan nodded slowly when he heard the words and said with a smile: "Since you have this intention, it is enough. It is not difficult to recite the Buddha's name. The difficulty lies in one mind. If you have the Buddha in your heart, you will live up to the Buddha."
"You don't need to think about the following one intention. It's not difficult. The difficulty is to cut off the root of love. It should be noted that the reincarnation of the three realms is the foundation, and the six paths of love are the foundation. All living beings are qualified to love, and so are Buddhists."
When Ning Zhe heard this, he said again: "But the love of Buddha is great love. How can our little love compare with it?"
"Idiots! How can your love be so small? The greatest love in the world is not the great love that loves all living beings. Instead, it is the love of a mother for her child. Secondly, it is the loyal love."
"The power of love is very powerful. It can't be explained and the way is unknown, but it can create miracles one after another. If you can understand the way of great love from small love."
"That doesn't mean you have failed the Buddha. If you can't even break through small loves, how can you love and save all sentient beings? So you can rest assured and pursue it. This is the cause of your previous life."
"Every cause must have its effect. And you can't escape your cause and effect, so it's better to face it calmly."
His words made Ning Zhe fall into deep thought and realize the true meaning of great love from small love. Cause and effect are inescapable.
"Master, if this disciple falls into the world of mortals, will he fail you and Buddhism?" Ning Zhe stood up and asked.
Qingchan shook his head and said: "You never owe me, let alone my Buddha. If you don't realize your true nature, that is, Buddha is a living being. When you realize it in one thought, all living beings are Buddha, so all the hearts are in your own mind. You should suddenly see the truth from your own heart."
"One day you recite the Buddha's name with your mouth, you will be my Buddha for the rest of your life. If you always recite the Buddha's name in your heart, you can become a Buddha."
Ning Zhe seemed suddenly enlightened when he heard this and said: "There was a Buddha who said that if you recite Amitabha three hundred times a day and recite Amitabha one hundred thousand times in your life, you can see the Tathagata."
"That means that if you have the Buddha in your heart, you will live up to the Buddha. Even if your bodhicitta falls into the world of mortals, as long as you have the Buddha in your heart, does it count as being devoted to the Buddha?"
Qingchan smiled and nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Idiot, you finally woke up, that's it. All things are based on the mind. As long as the bodhicitta is still there, you will be a member of my Buddhist sect."
Ning Zhe bowed to his master and said, "Then I will go look for Yue Yan. Before I come back, I made an agreement with her that we will meet in Muni Valley within three months."
"When I go this time, I will put aside the causes of my past life and see what kind of results I will get. After that, I will go to the Yuxu Pure Land. Brother No Return and the others are waiting for me."
"Go ahead, sow the cause and you will get the result. Everything is destined. I hope you will get a good result, don't miss Leng Donor again." Qingchan said with a smile.
"By the way, Master, what eminent monk did you say just now that you should live up to the Tathagata and live up to your Majesty?" Ning Zhe suddenly asked about this.
Qingchan looked at the monastery and said, "That is a mortal monk named Tsangyang Gyatso. Like you, he once received love, but he failed to grasp it well every time."
"In my life, I experienced love three times, but all ended in tragedy. This sentence is a poem he wrote. There are many similar poems. You can read it."
After saying this, he passed on the life of Cangyang Gyatso and the love poems he wrote to Ning Zhe's sea of consciousness.
Ning Zhe quickly flipped through the life story of this mortal, and then read his poems.
"In that life, I traveled across hundreds of thousands of mountains, not to cultivate the next life, but just to meet you on the road."
"At that moment, I ascended to immortality, not for immortality, but for your happiness and peace."
"If there is another life, you are still my only choice!"
"The world is safe and sound, and I will live up to the Tathagata and I will never let you down."
From Cangyang Gyatso's poems, we can feel his persistence in love. Although he is a Buddhist, he does not want to become a Buddha. He only wants to spend his life with the person he loves.
"he"
Although Ning Zhe has never met that eminent monk, he can understand his feelings through his works. So is losing love really that painful
"Master, apprentice, please leave."
Finally, Ning Zhe put his hands together, said goodbye to Qingchan, and left Fanjing Mountain alone. The moment he left, he transformed into a golden bird and flew in a certain direction.
There is Huangshan Mountain.
In the Nine Heavens Pure Land, Leng Yueyan was sitting cross-legged under a waterfall. The white smoke surrounding her made her look even more mundane, like a banished immortal who had fallen into the mortal world.
"Yueyan."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her, and Leng Shuangrong stepped to her side from behind.
"I've met Master."
Leng Yueyan did not stand up, but nodded slightly. The relationship between them is not like a master-student relationship, but like a family meeting, extremely easy-going.
Of course, this is only in private, when both of them can relax. They are not related by blood, they are just master and apprentice with similar personalities.
"Well, how are you and that secular monk doing now?" Leng Shuangrong turned around and asked.
"He said he would give me an answer in the near future, and I'm waiting." Leng Yueyan stared at the waterfall, intently.
"Really? Then what do you think of him?" Leng Shuangrong asked again.
"It's not enough to say I'm disgusted. Although he failed me in the previous life, in the final analysis, I was just wishful thinking. In this life, his answer will only determine whether we are passers-by or not."
Leng Yueyan said slowly, her words were not mixed with too much emotion and were flat and calm.
But when Leng Shuangrong heard the clues, she smiled slightly and said, "When you lie, your voice will be lower than usual, and you will stare at one thing intently."
"I think you can't forget him in your heart, right? You still hope to get a satisfactory answer and are eager to renew our relationship."
Leng Yueyan stood up immediately, her face a little red, and said: "Master, I don't! You also said that every man has good things, how could I have such thoughts."
"But over the years, I have changed my mind. Because of Wang Bugui, I know that there are still some good men in the world, but you and I have not met them." Leng Shuangrong said again.
"But not Ning Zhe!" Leng Yueyan turned around and said angrily.
"Really? Well, you are not allowed to see him in the future." Leng Shuangrong chuckled.
"But I still have to wait for his answer." Leng Yueyan's voice became slightly weak.
In Leng Shuangrong's eyes, the answer to all this has long been revealed. He stroked her head gently and said, "You have been smart since you were young, but when it comes to this kind of problem, you are just like me."
"You will become overwhelmed. This is called love. I think you must have a little bit of a crush on him, right?"
"I" Leng Yueyan looked around with her beautiful eyes, not knowing how to answer.
"Come, let's have a good talk with my master."
Fortunately, Leng Shuangrong summoned a stone platform, two stone benches, and a pot of tea to have a heart-to-heart talk with her disciple.
