"Besides, the books on the third floor are only worth antiques. If you really want to read these books, here, go out and turn right for 800 meters, Shaolin Bookstore's exclusive bookstore, what kind of Buddhist scriptures do you want? If you ask Master Yongping If you come forward, you can get a 50% discount! The consecration is free!"
Before Wei Xiaobei could open his mouth, Shi Yanming slammed Wei Xiaobei's forehead again with his chattering words.
your sister!
Wei Xiaobei wondered if he had kidnapped Shi Yanming and put him and Andre together, but who would be more chatty
Of course, although this Shi Yanming showed some chatty nature, but it has an advantage, what he said was real.
Wei Xiaobei also understood, indeed, the Buddhist scriptures on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion can also be bought outside.
Now it’s not ancient times, what kind of knowledge monopoly is still going on, especially this Buddhist scriptures, maybe people want to sell more and develop more believers.
But Wei Xiaobei somehow had a premonition that if he just left to see those Buddhist scriptures printed with modern printing techniques, it seemed that he would miss some opportunity.
With this in mind, Wei Xiaobei stopped talking nonsense with Shi Yanming and insisted on going to the third floor.
Shi Yanming also had no choice but to agree in the end, but after he called a monk, he didn't let the monk go up with Wei Xiaobei. Instead, he accompanied him up.
He couldn't believe it, this Wei Xiaobei could really read the Buddhist scriptures.
I can be regarded as a hard-working and studious person, but I just feel that the Buddhist scriptures are not as good as the comics. Amitabha, when I see the Buddhist scriptures, I feel dizzy and drowsy.
Fortunately, I am a monk, and my understanding of Buddhist scriptures is barely enough, if I let myself study Buddhist scriptures. Do you want to kill yourself
Go up the stairs to the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
The third floor was sealed by a steel door. Wei Xiaobei had come up to see it before. Although the steel door could be put in with a storage bracelet, it was impossible to restore it after it was put in.
In addition, the ventilation duct here is also extremely narrow, Wei Xiaobei has never practiced bone shrinking kung fu, well, even if he has practiced bone shrinking kung fu, it is still difficult to pass through the fan in the ventilation duct.
Opening the steel door, a smell of dust hits the face. Wei Xiaobei had been on guard for a long time, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.
But Shi Yanming was caught off guard and choked. After coughing for a while, he just smiled a little embarrassedly and turned on the ventilation fan to expel the stale air.
This third floor is also Shi Yanming's area of responsibility, but since few people come up to this third floor, Shi Yanming is a little lazy.
Fortunately, those Buddhist scriptures have been processed, not only soaked in medicine. In order to prevent the pages from being damaged, each book and each page is sprayed with plastic liquid to form a layer of plastic protective film on it.
Otherwise, according to Shi Yanming's management method, those ancient books would have been covered by dust and damaged.
Although it is also full of dust now, wipe it lightly. Those ancient books are clean again.
After seeing those ancient books, Wei Xiaobei's eyes couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He didn't care that Shi Yanming was busy dealing with the dust, so he took a few steps forward. He picked up an ancient book and wiped it with plaster. Then look up.
But after flipping through a few pages, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
The reason is simple, this Buddhist scripture is not written in Huaxia as Wei Xiaobei imagined, but in Sanskrit!
Not to mention the content inside, Wei Xiaobei couldn't even understand the name of the scripture on the cover.
Wei Xiaobei doesn't understand Sanskrit!
To be honest, Wei Xiaobei was a little dumbfounded.
This kid Shi Yanming looks smarter, he should know some Sanskrit, right
Who would have thought, when Wei Xiaobei held Shi Yanming to question him, Shi Yanming would not know whether to laugh or cry.
I feel a little headache when I read the Chinese version of Buddhist scriptures, Sanskrit? Please spare the little monk!
Seeing that Shi Yanming didn't understand Sanskrit, Wei Xiaobei also had a headache.
Fortunately, there is a thing in this world called the Internet, without the slightest hesitation, Wei Xiaobei immediately took out his mobile phone and checked the battery. Contact, this phone needs to be fully charged every two days.
Afterwards, Wei Xiaobei searched for Sanskrit.
After reading the information on the Internet, Wei Xiaobei realized that Chinese characters are square characters, while Sanskrit characters are alphabetic characters, but they are somewhat different from Western alphabets.
Simply put, there are 47 letters in Sanskrit.
This number of letters is too many in various alphabet languages, but what is even more frightening is that everyone knows that letters are divided into vowels and consonants, and in Sanskrit, if two or more consecutive consonants appear, then It is necessary to closely combine half a consonant letter or a part of the consonant letter to form a consonant string letter.
There are more than a thousand consonant letters, but if you want to learn Sanskrit well, you must memorize these more than a thousand consonant letters by rote!
This is nothing, the most terrible thing is that in Sanskrit, each noun has eight forms, the so-called forms are similar to the subject-verb-object in Huaxia, in addition, there are singular, plural and even even numbers Three variations.
In other words, in Sanskrit, each noun has twenty-four changes.
Of course, for the Huaxia people, this change is nothing.
It is said that there are several questions in the Huaxia Language Test Band 8, which made many foreigners almost vomit blood.
(Candidates are asked to write down the difference between the two sentences in the following topic?)
The first question, winter: wear as much as you can; summer: wear as much as you can.
The second question, there are two reasons for the emergence of leftover women: one is that no one has a crush on them, and the other is that no one has a crush on them.
The third question, a girl calls her boyfriend, "If you are here, I am not here yet. Just wait. If I am here and you are not here, just wait."
The fourth question, the origin of the single person: I used to like someone, but now I like someone.
Fifth question, two kinds of people are easy to get dumped: one kind doesn't know what love is, and the other kind doesn't know what love is.
...
Well, in fact, 98% of foreigners have already kneeled when they do the third question.
In addition, it is said that this Sanskrit letter can attract mysterious power. Thus producing a miraculous effect.
For example, the six-character mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum is composed of six Sanskrit letters. Due to different religious sects, when eminent monks recite these six Sanskrit letters, the effects are also different.
The most authentic six-character mantra is the heart mantra of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Reciting this mantra can eliminate the six afflictions of greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, jealousy and stinginess.
The Tibetan six-character mantra can cover and eliminate the damage of evil spirits in the world, eliminate various diseases, clear karma, and so on.
Of course, in reality. Wei Xiaobei has never seen the effect of the six-character mantra, but now he more or less believes it.
After all, he was able to enter the gray world. It's normal for this Sanskrit to be magical, right
After learning about the ins and outs of Sanskrit, Wei Xiaobei had to spend more than 20 minutes on the Internet to find an online store that sells electronic teaching materials for Sanskrit learning.
Learning Sanskrit? Well, except for eminent monks who specialize in the study of original Buddhist scriptures, I am afraid that few people will study Sanskrit in depth.
It's a pity that an online store like this can survive!
Well, the reason why it can survive is: ten thousand oceans disappeared from Wei Xiaobei's bank card.
Willing to buy or not, anyway, it’s scorpion shit—the only business, and there’s only one on the Internet. Do you buy it or not
But having said that, such an expensive textbook is not bad.
At least it wasn't difficult for Wei Xiaobei to study. Of course, Wei Xiaobei's one-eye, ten-line and even strong learning attributes also played a key role.
Whether it is 47 Sanskrit letters or more than 1,000 consonant string letters, it only took a few minutes to memorize them all by rote, and I have a general understanding of the various changes of their nouns.
Well, this is just a primer in getting started. The trouble after that is that memorizing the alphabet is not enough for any language.
After that, you need to familiarize yourself with some nouns in Sanskrit, and try to use Sanskrit to form sentences and so on.
After reading the textbook for about an hour, Wei Xiaobei couldn't wait to study the original Buddhist scriptures.
After studying for more than half an hour, Wei Xiaobei probably understood some of the above Sanskrit.
Um. This is the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra, referred to as the Diamond Sutra. It contains the important thought of the fundamental prajna of Mahayana Buddhism.
The so-called Prajna means wisdom, ultimate wisdom, and great wisdom in Sanskrit.
After reading the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra from front to back, Wei Xiaobei probably understood the meaning a little bit.
This Buddhist scripture mainly reveals the essence of wisdom in the form of questions and answers between the Buddha and his disciples.
In other words, the status and meaning of the Diamond Sutra in Buddhism is almost the same as that of the Analects in Confucianism.
Before Wei Xiaobei could reflect on the questions and answers in the Diamond Sutra, his brows could not help but raise, and he was overjoyed.
It turned out that after reading the Diamond Sutra, Wei Xiaobei discovered that the property panel had changed.
After the language skill, there is a branch skill Sanskrit!
Language {Chinese (proficient), English (proficient), French (proficient), Spanish (proficient), Danish (proficient), Western Divine Language (slightly fluent), Sanskrit (slightly fluent)}.
In terms of this level of proficiency in Sanskrit, Wei Xiaobei is about the same as being able to speak everyday language just now, and he can't understand or speak words that are a little deeper.
Well, for Wei Xiaobei, this problem is not a problem.
Looking at the evolution points, there are still 1851 points.
Immediately, his attention was focused on Sanskrit, and then 200 evolution points were consumed, and this Sanskrit changed from a little proficiency to a proficiency.
Afterwards, it became much easier for Wei Xiaobei to read the Diamond Sutra, but after reading the Diamond Sutra several times, Wei Xiaobei was a little puzzled, as if he couldn't understand some parts.
You must know that you are already proficient in Sanskrit! (to be continued~^~)
