The wall fell and everyone pushed, Zhi Zhi and Zhi Yun had committed a lot of sins. They had been suppressing them before, but today they were unlucky. All the accumulated sins exploded at the same time! Suddenly they were pressed over, and the two of them felt like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. They could not see anything clearly. Their eyes went dark, their ears buzzed, and their minds went blank. They were dumbfounded!
Hearing this, Zen Master Nanfeng sighed. He had already heard about what Zhi Zhi and Zhi Yun were doing, but at that time Zhi Zhi was too good at hiding and showing off. In addition, Zen Master Nan Feng almost never went down the mountain. I only heard about it vaguely, so I asked someone to check it out, but nothing could be found out, so let it go. I just didn't expect that my negligence and indulgence in the past would lead to today's catastrophe! How uncomfortable does it feel to be pointed at and accused in front of all the monks in the world? Although everyone is talking about Zhizhi and Zhiyun, to Nanfeng's ears, they are talking about him!
Zen Master Nanfeng clasped his hands together, and as long as someone stood up, he would bow and apologize!
Apologize one by one!
Seeing this scene, those who were still complaining, being dissatisfied, or scolding all shut up.
Seeing this old monk bowing at 90 degrees and apologizing, everyone subconsciously stopped scolding him, and instead showed more respect in their eyes.
When Fang Zheng saw this scene, he clasped his hands and muttered silently: "Amitabha, this is what an eminent monk should do. He doesn't care about face, only cares about right and wrong. What is right is right, and whoever is wrong should apologize..." Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of that time. When Monkey and the others stole underwear, he was still too immature and chose to hide it instead of bravely standing up and apologizing and admitting his mistake in the first place! Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook his head slightly in his heart. He knew that he still had a long way to go and a lot to learn. It has nothing to do with whether you become a Buddha or not, but a principle of life.
"Zen Master Nanfeng, this is not your fault, you don't have to be like this." Someone finally spoke.
Someone took the lead, and others followed suit and said, "Nanfeng Zen Master, we know who you are. There are so many people in Nanfeng Temple, and it is inevitable that there will be a few bad apples."
"Just keep a close eye on me from now on..."
"Zen Master Nanfeng, we are just talking casually..."
…
Everyone spoke one after another and stepped back, paying more respect to Zen Master Nanfeng.
But Zhi Zhi and Zhiyun were dumbfounded. In their eyes, Zen Master Nanfeng was a big shot! He is in charge of a large monastery, and the people who visit him are all celebrities who stomp their feet and are shaken by three earthquakes! Such a person still wants to apologize to some monks from a small monastery? They can’t figure it out, and they can’t figure it out! Why? Isn't it true that the purpose of cultivating and working hard to climb up is to make yourself live a more nourishing life? If you are strong, what if you bully others? I didn’t beat anyone or rob anyone...
Seeing the expressions of Zhi Zhi and Zhiyun, Fang Zheng, Zen Master Baiyun, Zen Master Xiaguang, Zen Master Hongyan and others all shook their heads. Zen Master Nanfeng apologized like this. Firstly, he admitted that his followers were incompetent and made mistakes. Secondly, he was helping them bear the karma and resolve the anger of these monks. Thirdly, he was doing it for them to see, hoping that they could learn from it. Come to something, realize something.
However, the mud could not hold up the wall, and the two of them did not understand the truth at all...
At this moment, Zen Master Nanfeng finally apologized to everyone, then looked up at Zhi Zhi and Zhiyun and said, "You two... ah... go back and pack your things, go home."
"******!" Zhi Zhi knelt on the ground with a thud. He knew that he could not go back no matter what! Otherwise, it’s not going home, it’s…
Zhiyun was a little confused and shouted: "Master, don't you just have a problem with him? As for driving us away? We have made mistakes, why don't we accept the punishment?"
Hearing what Zhiyun said, everyone shook their heads collectively, this fool, still doesn't understand what mistake they made? Targeting Fang Zheng is nothing more than an inducement! But there are too many sins that have been committed over time, and today they suddenly exploded! Even without Fang Zheng, they would have suffered a disaster sooner or later!
Zhizhi said: "Master, please give me another chance. I am willing to start as an ordinary novice and practice with the master step by step!"
Zen Master Nanfeng shook his head and said, "Zhizhi, do you think you didn't know that you were hiding money secretly as a teacher?"
Zhi Zhi was stunned. He asked himself that his clothes were perfect, at least no one had ever caught him. However, Nanfeng actually said this...
Zhiyun even shouted: "Master, you must have listened to the villain's remarks. Someone is trying to harm us."
Zen Master Nanfeng looked at Zhiyun and said, "Zhiyun, you go down the mountain three times a week, and every time you go to find women, drink wine and eat meat. Do you think I don't know this? Feiyun Bar, you are no stranger to it, right?"
Zhiyun's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously said: "Master, since you know, how could you..." As soon as he said this, he regretted it.
Zhi Zhi slapped him in the face and cursed angrily: "You loser, I told you to restrain yourself a long time ago. Do you know you were wrong this time?"
Zhiyun reacted quickly this time, and immediately cried loudly: "Master, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance..."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng was too lazy to look at it. He was still a little smart, but he had committed too many sins and could not be covered by paper. The incident happened today, and no matter how much he said, it would be useless. Zhiyun has no brains at all. If he hadn't been smart, he would have been kicked out long ago.
Shaking his head, Fang Zheng was about to leave.
At this moment, Zen Master Nanfeng spoke: "Master, I didn't say it at first because practicing Buddhism is not about forcing people to practice, it is practice when the heart is there. When Zhi Zhi first came to the temple, he was diligent, smart and clever, and he also worked as an accountant. , that’s why we are where we are today. Unfortunately, my wisdom was misled by my wisdom. I couldn’t resist the temptation of ordinary yellow and white things, and I gradually drifted away from the Buddha. I have always thought that wisdom will turn around one day, and I have always been there. Wait, what a pity...
Zhiyun has never been a Buddhist, but he kept you as a teacher. Do you know why you have always been a novice? If you don’t have a Buddha in your heart, how can you become a true monk? I know what you have done, and I am just waiting for the day when you turn back. Now it seems that I have thought too much. If there is no Buddha in the heart, what kind of Buddha are we cultivating? Amitabha, please leave. "
"Master..." Zhi Zhi shouted.
Zen Master Nanfeng said: "It's a master-disciple affair. You will return the money you took back to the temple. The master will not hold you accountable. Go ahead..."
After saying that, Zen Master Nanfeng seemed to have aged a few years. He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Zen room.
Zen Master Xiaguang, Zen Master Baiyun, Zen Master Hongyan and others looked at each other, said hello to Fangzheng, and left together.
The protagonist has dispersed, and naturally the others have also dispersed...
Zhi Zhi and Zhi Yun sat slumped on the ground, with confused faces. After working hard for so many years, they finally failed and had nothing... Everything had to start from scratch. The two looked at each other, and Zhi Yun said fiercely: "Brother, everything is gone." I blame that little monk for cutting off our financial path, I..."
PS: I went with my wife to the city for a prenatal check-up today. The chapter tonight may have to be posted later.
