At this time, someone shouted: "The abbot is here." The disciples immediately separated to the two sides, leaving a path free. Huiming walked slowly in front of Xinyuan with the rosary in his hand, with a slight sullen expression on his face, and said, "Xinyuan, the five precepts of Buddhism, do you know?"
Xinyuan lowered his head and said, "I know that the five precepts of Buddhism are to abstain from killing, abstaining from evil, abstaining from drinking and meat, abstaining from theft, and abstaining from lying."
Huiming asked again: "Then do you know what you committed?"
"I committed the third precept."
"What kind of punishment?"
"Surface the wall for a year, or a hundred in charge."
After hearing what he said, Huiming asked, "Then what kind of punishment do you want to accept?"
Xinyuan hesitated, then said: "I don't want to be punished. I'm not wrong..."
When all the disciples heard him say this, they couldn't help but let out a sigh, only Fang Wei had a good relationship with Xinyuan, and he usually stayed together more often. He heard that Xinyuan violated the vows and was unwilling to accept punishment. He couldn't help but cried out "Oops" and said in his heart: "Little Junior Brother didn't have a long time to get started, and I don't know the rules of the temple. This is terrible."
It turns out that the disciples of Shaolin Temple have violated the precepts, as long as they voluntarily accept the punishment, and sincerely change to the good, after the incident, the discipline institute will ignore the blame and treat all the disciples in the same way. However, if sophistry refuses to be punished and is unwilling to clean up the guilt, he will be kicked out of the temple and the mountain gate, and he will never be recorded as a Shaolin disciple. Therefore, when Fangwei heard that Xinyuan was unwilling to admit his mistakes, he couldn't help being very anxious, fearing that he would be kicked out of the temple.
Suddenly, there was silence in the discipline courtyard, and the disciples held their breath and calmed down, preparing to see how the abbot fell away.
Just listen to Huiming’s words: "The Buddhist precepts have been in existence since Bodhidharma’s patriarch’s eastward journey to the sea. Later, they have been continuously updated and improved and gradually become complete. Now that you have admitted that you have violated the precepts, why are you unwilling to accept punishment? You entered me. After only half a year in the Shaolin Sect, can you not bear the rules here?"
Xinyuan thought that since this commandment has already been committed, it is better to just say what I think, saying: "I have violated the commandment, but I did not make a mistake. Most of the Buddhist commandments are good, but there are also some things that are wrong. Everyone in the world raises pigs and cows, and the common people drink and eat meat. Are they wrong too? So although I broke the precepts, I did not make any mistakes."
Xinyuan's remarks were justified and well-founded, and for a while Huiming was speechless. All the disciples also thought in their hearts: "Yes, everyone in the world drinks and eats meat and makes no mistakes. Why do we make mistakes when we drink and eat meat?" All the disciples had good intentions before, and they had a long way to go. He was already dissatisfied with the fact that he was the abbot's disciple at a young age, and wanted to take the opportunity to make him ugly. But after hearing what Xinyuan said just now, most people began to feel that what he said seemed to make sense.
At this time, I only heard Huiming say: "Since you enter my Buddhism, you must abide by the rules of Buddhism. You can't do anything willful. Ants are still dead, let alone cows and sheep? There is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol, but alcohol can be messy, which leads to it. Killing, theft, licentiousness, and lies are one of the root causes of all evils. My Buddhist vision sees the past and the next, and eradicate evil thoughts. This is something mortals can’t comprehend.” Speaking of this, I swept my eyes around from the disciples. One pass.
After hearing these words, all the disciples saw the abbot's dignity and dignity. Everyone immediately stood in awe and said together: "Amitabha Buddha." They all calmed down and listened to the abbot's teachings.
Just listen to Huiming's words: "Xinyuan, your Buddha's heart is unclear, and you have a deep bond of dust. It is not my Buddhist disciple. If you are a young teacher, you are free from the stick responsibility, and you go down the mountain."
Xinyuan listened, his mind buzzed, and his heart was upset. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, but just knelt on the ground blankly.
Seeing his lips move slightly, Huiming seemed to want to say something, so he said: "Xinyuan, just say what you have!"
His heart opened wide, but he didn't know what to say. After staying for a while, he shook his head and said sadly, "I have nothing to say." Then he bowed to Huiming for three times and said, "The disciple is not suitable to be a Shaolin disciple. I deeply regret that it has caused Master trouble. Disciple here. Just leave, and I hope Master takes care." After speaking, he stood up and turned to go out.
When Xin Yuan walked to the door, he heard someone calling "Little Junior Brother", he knew it was the voice of the Fourth Senior Brother. Among all the disciples in the temple, the four brothers have the deepest feelings with him, and the two people are not very different in age, and they are the best in normal times. He stopped, turned his head, and found Fang Wei was looking at him with a reluctant expression on his face. Xinyuan had no feelings for the disciples of Shaolin Temple in his heart, but the Fourth Senior Brother was getting along with himself day and night, and he was reluctant to leave him at this time. He turned his head and glanced at Fang Wei, and said, "Four brothers, I'm leaving. Take care." Then he turned around and walked down the mountain.
