The most important thing is that if the lottery is divided into two draws, Fang Zheng may not draw matching items. On the contrary, he may draw a machine gun and artillery shells, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Of course, the nine-character Buddhist mantra is no stranger to Buddhism. Buddhism originated in Tianzhu and changed to China. Nowadays, the Buddha in China and the Buddha in Tianzhu have little to do with each other. They have long followed the local customs and become part of China. As for the Nine-Character Mantra, Fang Zheng was no stranger to it. He especially spent time researching a lot of information on this thing.

The word "Nine Characters" comes from the inner chapter of "Baopuzi" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It says: "Zhu said: 'Those who are facing a battle should all move forward in groups. They should always look at them and avoid everything.' It means that if you recite these nine words often, you can get rid of all evil. Dongmi was influenced by Taoism in my country, but when copying these nine words, he mistakenly copied "array ahead" as "array ahead" or "array ahead", which is still used today and evolved into "array ahead".

Therefore, the current Buddhism is fundamentally a new system derived from the Chinese culture after Tianzhu Buddhism entered China. It is not purely Tianzhu Buddhism.

"System, I have never thought about it. Our great Buddha borrowed the nine-character mantra of Chinese Taoism and used it. What is this? Is it considered stealing?" Fang Zheng asked curiously.

The system took it for granted: "Buddha takes all things in the world as his teacher. China has a brilliant civilization. Why not learn from it with humility and use it? It can be as small as one person, as big as a Buddha or a sect. If you want to develop and grow, you can only rely on yourself." It is impossible, because no matter how old you are, you are just a drop in the ocean between heaven and earth. Only by letting go of all pride, absorbing the essence, getting rid of your own dross, and constantly improving yourself and improving yourself, this is the way to survive and grow. So I Buddha Use it and at the same time acknowledge it as a teacher.”

When Fang Zheng heard the words, he touched his nose and seemed to understand something. A sect is like this, and a person is like this, just as Confucius said: When three people walk together, there must be my teacher.

"There's so much nonsense, do you accept it or not?" the system asked.

What else is there to think about? Of course I accepted it!

As Fang Zheng accepted it, a Buddha statue immediately appeared in his mind. The Buddha sat cross-legged on a lotus. His face could not be seen clearly, and he did not know which Buddha it was, but his hands could be seen very clearly. The thumbs touched each other and the index fingers were stretched forward and the fingertips faced each other. , the middle finger bends the joints together, the ring finger crosses upward and passes under the middle finger, the middle finger is at the top of the fingertips, and the tips of the little finger meet at the same time, this is the inner lion seal. It corresponds to the word "zhe" in the nine-character Buddhist mantra!

The moment Fang Zheng understood it, he had some more understanding in his mind. The seal technique is not only the hand seal, but also the heart seal. Only when the body and mind are forming the seal can it be effective.

At the same time, the Buddha's voice sounded, but it was the inner lion's seal to subdue the devil: Naluo Jinchi Bogaraya. Suo Po He. Mopoli wins over Karaye. Suo Po He. …

This mantra is to assist in forming the heart seal. It can be recited aloud or silently in the heart. Following the mantra, the seal can be formed in the heart.

The moment the mantra sounded, a big word formed in Fang Zheng's mind, "ZER!"

One word, one piece of sky. At that moment, Fang Zheng felt that he had a completely new understanding of his body, as if every cell in his body was under his control. This was an absolute control over himself. ! At the same time, Fang Zheng strangely discovered that he could actually feel the body of the lone wolf next to him. He had a feeling that he could control the body of the lone wolf as long as he thought about it, activated his hand seals and heart seals at the same time, and spoke the mantra. This feeling is very subtle...

However, compared to controlling the body of a lone wolf, Fang Zheng enjoys the feeling of having complete control over himself.

Fang Zheng was just happy when he saw the monkey coming in with a sad face.

Fang Zheng asked in confusion: "Monkey, what's wrong with you?"

"Abbot, there is something I can't figure out." The monkey scratched his head and said.

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

"The woman committed suicide by jumping into the river that day, and the abbot rescued them ashore. But what if the woman committed suicide again? Did the abbot ignore it?" Monkey asked.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng patted the monkey's head gently and said: "I am very happy that you can start thinking about these things. This shows that you have begun to take the initiative to understand something. In the eyes of the poor monk, a person's life is , does not belong to an individual. This flesh and blood body was originally born and raised by the union of parents, and receives various needs from society in order to thrive and grow. The completion of life is achieved by the social connections of the public, and of course it should be repaid to The general public, therefore, everyone has the obligation to make their life happier and more meaningful, but they have no right to destroy any life. The most important thing is to live with joy and hope, especially with the world in the heart, There are sentient beings, there is cause and effect, and there is reason. This is the correct outlook on life.

Suicide, in the eyes of many people, is a self-acted act that ends the cause and effect, and they think it is liberation and the end. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Cause and effect will not end with death. On the contrary, while you are alive, you still have the opportunity to end cause and effect. Once you die and have no real existence, how to end cause and effect

The force generated by cause and effect will disappear with your death consciousness, and will explode in cycles, leaving you in pain forever. At the same time, suicide is a major sin and will lead to hell, and there is only a very, very small chance of being reincarnated as a human being.

Therefore, suicide is a sin.

No matter whether you are a poor monk or you, you can save people for a while, but you cannot save them for a lifetime. Those who have experienced life and death and still cannot see through life and death deserve to die. She jumped into the river and felt death. The poor monk saved her. She felt the hope of life. If she still couldn't see through it, the poor monk would not save her again. "

Hearing the words, the monkey nodded thoughtfully and said: "I understand somewhat, that is to say, rescue when you encounter her, and help if you can. If we try our best, she still secretly chooses to die, then we can't save her. ,Right?"

Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's exactly it."

It's impossible to ignore death, but there's nothing you can do about it if you still get bad results despite trying your best.

The monkey continued to sweep the floor and think about the problem.

Fang Zheng was sitting in the meditation room, studying the mantra and the inner lion seal.

As the reputation grew and the weather got better and better, Fang Zheng found that more and more pilgrims came to Yizhi Temple. At first, there were no people for a few months, then there were people every day, and now it can receive more than a dozen people every day. Twenty pilgrims. And most of them came from Songwu County to offer incense and worship Buddha.

Seeing that the incense was getting stronger day by day, Fang Zheng was naturally very happy. The only unhappy thing is that the people who have been here in the past two days have been acting a bit strange...

"Master, can we take a photo together?" Two girls ran over and asked a little embarrassedly.
