Fang Zheng hurriedly recited silently in his mind: "Amitabha, this is what I hear..." He started to recite sutras, which distracted him.
His family knew about his family affairs, so he blushed all over his head, and then his whole head felt like a stewed egg. It was too easy to expose the little excitement deep in his heart. Must be suppressed! Otherwise it will be easy to lose face!
Suppressing the excitement and random thoughts in his heart, Fang Zheng asked: "Master, how do you say this?"
Qingjing Sanren said calmly: "The road to practice is long and arduous, and all kinds of confusions always linger in my mind. Some can find answers, and some can't. I asked some fellow Taoists, but no one could answer them. Later, when I saw you bringing down the Bodhisattva statue on the mountain, I thought of asking you. Perhaps, you are the only one in the world who can answer this question of Pindao."
When Fang Zheng heard this, he really wanted to give himself a slap in the face, but his feelings were distorted. But he was puzzled, if you have any questions, just come to Yizhi Temple! Why go to so much trouble to bring this poor monk here.
Qingjingsan seemed to have noticed Fang Zheng's thoughts and said with a smile: "There are too many people in your temple. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get in, so I might as well call you out. I chose a place for a long time, and I happened to hear that there was a meeting here. Religious conference, and you also said that communicating with people of the same religion is one of the great joys in life. Since you like it, Pindao asked for two places and called you here. But after you came, Pindao really couldn’t tell , what is the meaning of this kind of gathering? None of those who come here are true practitioners, but more of the spokespersons of practitioners in the world. They wear the cloak of practitioners and do things to save people, but their hearts and My body has never been separated from the mundane world. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so afraid of the people behind Faxiang Temple and be timid in doing things."
When Fang Zheng heard this, he suddenly became speechless. He shook his head slightly and said, "Master, what you said is both correct and incorrect."
"Oh?" Qingjing Sanren obviously didn't expect that Fang Zheng had different opinions from her, but she was more interested. In fact, she discussed the issue with many people, but in the end, those people all had similar ideas to hers. Without the exchange of different opinions, in her opinion, it became meaningless. Therefore, after Fang Zheng met her last time, the two chatted and argued about their experiences throughout the day and night, which actually made her happy.
Now that it was here again, she was naturally looking forward to Fang Zheng's explanation.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "No matter how detached one's heart is, people still live in the mortal world after all. Being born is not to escape from the world and make oneself lonely, but to leave the mortal world to find the direction of a higher spiritual level. But after finding it, What? Without the crowd, it is like water without roots. How far can a fish jump without water? Human suffering comes from the mortal world, but to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. To lock it, one must find the key. The key is in the mortal world. among.
How to join the world but still maintain the attitude of being a worldly person? When you join the world, you need to integrate into it. In addition to keeping a few bottom lines and keeping the spiritual platform unstained, the rest is to sink your heart to experience the world of mortals, experience in the world of mortals, and find the key to liberation. "
"The master's remarks seem to be a little different from those of other monks." After finishing speaking, Qingjing Sanren smiled and said, "It seems that your remarks have always been a little special."
Fang Zheng laughed loudly and said: "Everyone's Tao is different, their understanding is different, and their conclusions are naturally different. If everyone was the same, wouldn't it be boring? There are sparks and passion in thoughts because of collision."
Hearing this, Qingjing Sanren smiled slightly, expressed his agreement, and then asked: "In that case, can Master Wai help me explain my doubts from your point of view?"
Fang Zheng looked at Qingjing Sanren's slightly naughty smile, and he also laughed, raised his head, and said with the omnipotent posture of a copy master: "Say!"
When Qingjing Sanren saw this, they were immediately amused by Fang Zheng's arrogant and coaxing look, but when he mentioned the question, he immediately became serious and said: "It's very simple, is there really a god in this world? I'm not talking about what's in my heart. God, but the real God! You once summoned the image of Bodhisattva, also known as the Living Buddha, who is the person closest to the gods and Buddhas. Can you answer my question directly? "
Fang Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect Qingjing Sanren to ask such a question. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "There is no god in this world."
Qingjing Sanren was stunned. She originally thought that Fang Zheng would admit that there are gods in the world. After all, the scene where he summoned the Bodhisattva statue and Fang Zheng jumped off the mountain but was still alive and kicking cannot be explained by science at all! If he said there was a god, Pure Sanren would be completely unable to refute it.
Qingjing Sanren asked: "What about your magical power?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "I can only say that the world is vast and there are countless universes. There is always a time and space where there are gods and Buddhas. The poor monk heard a theory that everything that appears in this world does not exist in this world. The things are all reflections from another world. Countless worlds are running, influencing each other, and communicating with each other...that's all. The poor monk may be the variable under the influence, that's all."
Qingjing Sanren said in surprise: "So, you really have supernatural powers?"
Fang Zheng smiled slightly, twirled it casually, picked off a dead branch from a potted plant next to it, and said, "Look at this dead branch, is it alive or dead?"
Qingjing Sanren said: "It has withered and died."
Fang Zheng said: "Master, let's take a breath and take a look."
Qingjing Sanren looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously and said with a smile: "Can you still become alive if you take a breath?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "As you wish."
A look of surprise and curiosity flashed in Qingjing Sanren's eyes, and he blew gently on the dead branch in Fang Zheng's hand.
However, the dead branches did not turn green, nor did they sprout or bloom...
Qingjing Sanren looked at Fang Zheng in confusion, as if to say: "Where is your magical power?"
Fang Zheng made a silent gesture and said, "Look."
Qingjing Sanren looked carefully and waited for a while. Finally, the dead branch moved, and then a small white insect came out of the dead branch! He raised his head high and suddenly saw two big living people. Two pairs of big eyes were staring at him. He was nervous or scared. He froze in place and stopped moving. He looked a little cute.
Qingjing Sanren is not an ordinary little girl. She has been in the mountains all year round and may have seen more bugs than many people have ever seen. So she was not afraid. Instead, she looked at Fang Zheng in surprise and said, "This...is this also called supernatural power?"
Fang Zheng asked back: "Then what does the donor think of magical powers? The donor only wants to transform death into life. There are bugs in this dead branch. If the bugs don't come out, you think it is dead. If the bugs come out, doesn't it mean death is transformed into life?" Life? If the poor monk uses magical powers, he can only change death into life. Although the two methods are different, they reach the same goal by different paths, and the results are not much different. Therefore, whether we have magical powers or not, what we want is just to cross People are just meant to save lives. Many times, to do good deeds and accumulate virtues and save people, you don't necessarily need supernatural powers. You just need to blow on them and give them some hope and courage."
