"Is it fake?" A monk said subconsciously, reaching out and touching it, but the lotus withered immediately. The monk exclaimed: "Really! It's a real lotus!"
Everyone woke up one after another and looked around. They were sitting in a sea of flowers composed of lotus flowers! The whole temple is full of lotus flowers, and there are frogs on the lotus flowers. The birds on the ground are awakened by their shouts, and they flap their wings and fly away.
Seeing such a scene, everyone's mouths opened up and they were unable to speak! Seeing this scene in front of them, they only thought of one thing in their minds - I, the Buddha, preached the sutra, my tongue bloomed like a lotus, golden springs gushed from the ground, and all the souls came to listen!
Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked ahead, only to find that the lecturer was missing!
"Where is Abbot Fangzheng?"
"Has anyone seen Abbot Fangzheng?"
"My tongue blooms like a lotus! Such a scripture is a miracle!"
"A reed crosses the river, and a lotus blooms on the tongue. Is this a living Buddha?"
"Crossing the river with a reed can be said to be a magical power, but the lotus blooming on the tongue is the true Buddhist teaching. Abbot Fangzheng is a living Buddha!"
…
At this moment, Zen Master Baiyun and Zen Master Hongyan also looked shocked. They have been practicing Buddhism for decades and have listened to the sermons of eminent monks at home and abroad, but they have never seen such a scene! The tongue blooms like a lotus. This is no longer something that can be accomplished by human power, nor can it be accomplished by magic. This is a miracle!
The two looked at each other and saw the shock and excitement in each other's eyes! With such a divine person in Buddhism, how could it not be popular
However, when the two discovered that Fang Zheng was missing, they became anxious and quickly ran to Fang Zheng's Zen room with a group of monks to check.
As a result, no one dared to knock on the door!
Crossing the river with a reed has already made them awe Fang Zheng, and the lotus blossoming on the tongue has completely made them awe Fang Zheng like a god or a living Buddha. Who dares to disturb Fang Zheng from sleeping
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Even Zen Master Baiyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.
This station lasted an hour. Although everyone was anxiously waiting, no one made a sound. They just stood quietly, waiting...
Among the crowd, the most shocking thing was not them, but the group!
The group was completely confused at this moment. They thought Fang Zheng was a liar, but they never expected that he was not only not a liar, but also a real eminent monk! At this moment, all the intestines were filled with regret: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have forced him. Now it's okay. I offended him. I want to listen to the lectures again in the future... ugh..." Although I muttered like this in my heart, deep down in my heart, , Yi Xing also understood that, not to mention the tongue-splitting lotus in the back, just the comprehension of the "Huayan Sutra" in the front was already a level higher than him. One is holding the Buddhist scriptures and thinking about the true scriptures, and the other is reading the Buddhist scriptures to understand life. The levels of the two have long been opened up. However, he was not convinced, which resulted in being slapped in the face later. All the consequences were his own fault.
I regret it.
Hong Jing next to him was in almost the same state, but Hong Jing had experienced more things than Yi Xing. He didn't panic, but was thinking about how to solve this problem. Founder is so powerful, he will definitely be a master in the future. For such people, it is always good not to seek friendship, but at least to listen to lectures and improve one's own Dharma cultivation.
Another hour passed, and everyone's feet were numb when they stood, and some of the older ones could no longer hold on. At this moment, a monk came rushing over and shouted: "Abbot, there's no need to wait, Abbot Fang Zheng has already come down the mountain!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Zen Master Baiyun immediately asked: "Is this true?"
The monk said: "I just checked the camera. Abbot Fang Zheng left Baiyun Temple immediately after giving his sermon. Counting the time, it has been two or three hours, and he has already left."
Upon hearing this, Zen Master Baiyun immediately pushed open the square Zen room. Sure enough, it was empty and no one was there!
Everyone looked at each other, what kind of fuss was going on? I waited at an empty house for two hours.
Suddenly some people who couldn't stand sat down on the ground.
Zen Master Baiyun said: "Take this poor monk to watch the video."
"Yes, Abbot." The monk accepted the order.
Upon hearing this, everyone asked to go together, and Zen Master Baiyun did not refuse.
Although Baiyun Temple's final talk about Buddhism and scriptures is not open to the public. But I want to leave audio and video materials behind, so that I can review, watch, review the past and learn new things, and also leave a memory for everyone. Baiyun Temple is responsible for recording, and afterward, it will be sent to various temples.
Everyone rushed to the camera and saw that the monks had already arranged the white cloth and even set up the projector.
"Abbott, I know that everyone must watch it, so I extracted the video and prepared to use a projector to project it." A monk stepped forward and said.
Zen Master Baiyun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let it go."
As the projector was running, everyone saw the strange scene of Fang Zheng starting to preach, and then birds came to listen, lotus flowers bloomed, frogs jumped out, and the moonlight sprinkled the courtyard like water. If there were still people who suspected that there was something wrong inside before, now that there is video evidence, they are completely convinced!
For a moment, everyone's hearts were shocked. Such a miracle was like a god or a Buddha!
"Abbot Fangzheng is the abbot of Yizhi Temple, right?"
"Who knows where the One Finger Temple is?"
"Yeah, how can I get to the nearest place?"
"Zen Master Hongyan, I heard that you are quite close to each other. Can you show me the way?"
…
For a time, countless people asked about Yizhi Temple, especially Zen Master Hongyan who was directly surrounded.
Zen Master Hongyan smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, I know that you all want to see Master Fangzheng again and listen to the Dharma that makes the lotus bloom. But have you ever thought about it? Dharma is not taught lightly, and we are lucky enough to hear it. Once is already a great honor. Do you want to be greedy and listen to it a second time? The poor monk has lived for seventy-six years, and he has only heard it once in seventy-six years. Don’t be greedy...
What's more, why did Abbot Fangzheng not see us and leave right after he finished speaking? I'm afraid he's also afraid that everyone will be surrounding him like this and he won't be able to escape. The poor monk believed that Abbot Fangzheng did not want to make this matter a fuss, let alone be chased and intercepted by everyone, disturbing Qingxiu. Therefore, everyone, please listen to the poor monk and don't go out and talk nonsense, and don't organize a group to go to Yizhishan to disturb Abbot Fangzheng's Qing Dynasty. If you really want to go, just find a time and go by yourself. "
When everyone heard this, they felt it made sense.
Zen Master Baiyun also said: "We who practice Zen all like silence. Abbot Fang Zheng has such attainments in Buddhism, but he is hidden in a deep mountain. He must not like the noise from the outside world that disturbs his pure practice. Therefore, the poor monk also believes that it should not be excessive. Excuse me. Just let it go..."
Although everyone was eager to see Fang Zheng and listen to Fang Zheng's sermons, they were in awe of him and didn't know whether to go or not. Now that the two eminent monks had said this, they thought it made sense, so they asked for the address one after another, thinking about when to visit and how to arrange the questions better.
Baiyun Temple, which had been noisy for two days, finally returned to its former peace as many monks left.
However, some monks in Baiyun Temple were not calm anymore. Fang Zheng's performance had completely made them feel threatened. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Fang Zheng thinks so, the reputation of Baiyun Temple as the largest temple in Heishan City may be lost...
However, no one knew that the master and living Buddha in everyone's hearts at this moment was about to cry!
