Time passed quickly and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Fang Zheng had been reciting sutras for three full days. On this day, Fang Zheng received news from the big star Li Xueying.
"Hello! Abbot Fangzheng, did you miss me?!" The text was accompanied by a photo of Li Xueying greeting her. She was wearing a hat, jeans, and big, cute eyes.
Fang Zheng smiled slightly and replied, "I didn't think so."
"That's too much..." Li Xueying sent an angry expression with her arms akimbo, and then said: "Thanks to me, I went around looking for good craftsmen and got the best materials to expand a Guanyin Temple for you, plus two meditation rooms, but you didn't even miss me. … Sadly… "
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the last time the movie "Allure" was suppressed, Fang Zheng said that everything would be fine, and Li Xueying said that if everything was fine, she would accept Fang Zheng's auspicious words and give Fang Zheng a Guanyin Temple. Of course, there is more to this, maybe Li Xueying made a wish to the Bodhisattva, and now that the crisis has passed, she is here to fulfill her wish.
The so-called repayment of vows means that some people want to ask Bodhisattva to help them with something. If it is successful, in return, they may donate money, materials, or a Buddha statue... For example, some people ask for a child. If they have children in the future, Come back and donate as much or as little as you want.
Of course, this kind of wish is usually for something that can be seen and touched, rather than something illusory or too macroscopic. You can ask for a son, ask for the success of a certain business, and then promise something, etc.
In the eyes of many people, a big wish requires many big wishes, but in Fang Zheng's view, this idea is a bit ridiculous. This statement is naturally correct among ordinary people. But benevolent gentlemen would not use this as a way of communicating. Not to mention gods and Buddhas? In the eyes of gods and Buddhas, what mortals can give is really limited, and what is precious in the eyes of mortals is like dust in the eyes of Buddhas. Therefore, what Buddha really cares about is not physical objects, but sincerity. If it is successful, you should express your sincere thanks and recite sutras and the Buddha's name as often as you have nothing to do. It is better than anything else.
Therefore, making and fulfilling wishes is not that complicated. But once you make a wish, you must fulfill it, otherwise it will be a lie. Therefore, regardless of whether the Buddha or Bodhisattva cares, it is still very important to give whatever you promise.
Fang Zheng didn’t know whether the Buddha and Bodhisattva had blessed Li Xueying, but it was a fact that Fang Zheng had paid 700 merits. Therefore, Fang Zheng had no intention of rejecting Li Xueying and said openly: "The poor monk recites sutras every day and has nothing in his mind. There is no one around him, so naturally he doesn't think about it."
"You... no wonder you became a monk and are destined to be single all your life." Li Xueying laughed and scolded, she was just joking.
However, as soon as Fang Zheng saw this text, he burst into tears. This was definitely a 100% critical blow! It hurts!
But what can Fang Zheng say? As a monk, how could he still miss women? No matter how you behave in the future, at least you have to look good while doing this job. So Fang Zheng replied with an extremely bitter and meaningful sentence: "Amitabha."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I ordered a lot of building materials and a construction team for you, but the other party is very busy, and it will probably take a while. I will tell you when I have more specific information." Li Xueying said.
Fang Zheng said: "Amitabha, he hasn't come yet, so stop talking. This poor monk is itchy..."
"Haha... You have nothing to do, don't you? You bastard, just tickle yourself. Haha..." Li Xueying sent a maniacally laughing expression.
Fang Zheng: “…”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zheng jumped up and laughed: "Haha... The poor monk's small monastery is finally going to be expanded! Haha..."
For Fang Zheng himself, he doesn't care too much about the size of the temple. After all, he will return to secular life in the future. But as the temple gets bigger, more people will come, its reputation will also grow, there will be more incense, more people will make wishes, more people will bless it, and ultimately it will have more merits! With more merit, Fangzheng is getting closer and closer to returning to secular life.
This is also the affirmative answer that Fang Zheng received from the system. Anyone who comes to seek help from Bodhisattvas or Buddhas, as long as they are sincere and a good person, and do not ask for anything extraordinary, will usually succeed. Once it is completed, one-tenth of the merit generated can be obtained. Although this amount is small, it cannot support the large base! In fact, less than half of Fang Zheng's merits come from this. After all, there is only a limit to how Fang Zheng can accumulate virtue and do good deeds by himself. It is the last word to have more people.
But what makes Fang Zheng most happy is...
"Point to dad, our temple is finally going to be expanded. No, it has been expanded before. The bell tower and drum tower are so big and old-fashioned. Our bell is the Yongle bell from Lingshan, and the drum is a high imitation of the one used by Emperor Chiyou in the war. The Kui Niu War Drum, our main hall has more Ten Thousand Buddhas... and a Guanyin Hall will be built soon. Haven't you been muttering, when will our temple become as big as Baiyun Temple? It's not far away, I believe it. I..." Fangzheng said happily as he sat in front of Yi Zhi Zen Master's grave, as if there was not a mound of earth in front of him but Zen Master Yi Zhi sitting in front of him.
Fang Zheng sat there for most of the day, and it was already evening when he returned to Yizhi Temple. In a good mood today, Fang Zheng cooked in person. He picked out a portion of the bag of vegetables brought by Liu Hong, washed them, and fried them in a large pot. He brought his disciples to enjoy the meal.
As the saying goes, it’s time to be still and think about things. Fang Zheng and Zen Master Yizhi have been chatting for so long. They have said everything that needs to be said and boasted about everything that needs to be said. When he returns to reality, he still has to face another problem, and that is merit! It's obviously not okay to stay like this. Since you have nothing to do, you can only find trouble by yourself, so...
"Disciples, prepare to go down the mountain for Master tomorrow." As soon as Fang Zheng said this, several disciples raised their heads at the same time. The lone wolf was not particularly eager, while the red boy was eager to try. The monkey was also a little curious, but the squirrel kept eating. , didn’t seem to care at all.
Fang Zheng frowned slightly when he saw this. Although none of these disciples were human, they were no different from human beings after they were enlightened and able to speak. They probably won't be able to get used to this kind of thing when they return to the mountains and forests, but to integrate into society, they need to understand this person's world. If you continue to be so cute, you will easily suffer.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng said: "This time Jingkuanhe comes down the mountain as our teacher."
"Gah... cough cough cough..." When the squirrel heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He choked and coughed. Then he looked at Fang Zheng with a cute expression on his face, as if, again, it's me
Red Boy had a hopeful look on his face. Lone Wolf yawned and didn't care. Neither did Monkey. He liked the tranquility of the mountain very much.
