Red plums reflect youth

Chapter 32 Talking about Buddhism and Taoism

It was a hot summer day, the sun was scorching like fire, and there was no wind in all directions.Drenched in sweat, the continuous chirping of cicadas made people feel a little hotter.

In midsummer, it is best to cool off in the mountains.At this time, Lingfeng Mountain is quiet and cool, and the chirping of cicadas adds to the tranquility.

Ziqing then went to Fahua Temple to seek advice from Li Jinyuan on piano skills.

Just about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened, and a petite woman walked out in front of her.

Her every move is extremely neat and free, giving people a capable feeling.

Unexpectedly, she saw Ziqing, a blush flew over her fair and pretty face, she lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, so that people could not see the expression in her eyes, but a black mole on the left eyebrow gave off her coquettishness.

He walked away lightly and quickly, and disappeared after flashing through a few doorways.

This……

Ziqing was very puzzled, how could there be a woman in this pure monastery with such a shy look.

A little novice walked by, clasped his palms together and saluted, then sneaked up to Ziqing's ear and chewed his tongue:

"That woman is Li Jinyuan's best friend. She's been here several times in secret." Then she curled her lips in disdain: "Then Li Jinyuan has many good friends, men and women, I don't know how many..."

"Cough...cough..." Before he finished speaking, Master Wu Wu's voice cleared his throat, and the little novice quickly folded his palms together, looked at his nose with his eyes, his hands with his nose, and walked away kindly.

"Mr. Li is resting, please come here, little benefactor." Master Wu Wu held the Buddhist beads in one hand on his chest, and gestured towards the Buddhist hall with the other hand.

Ziqing then came to the Buddhist hall with enlightenment.As soon as he stepped into the door, he accidentally dropped a bead from his waist, and quickly picked it up. It turned out that the thread that tied the bead was broken.

Master Wu Wu saw the word "An" on the bead, which was in his own handwriting, so he kindly smiled and said:

"The little benefactor and the poor monk seem to have a thin relationship, why don't you come over and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he sat cross-legged on the futon lightly, and knocked on the wooden fish "boom, boom, boom".

In the Buddhist hall, the light is dim and dim, and the sandalwood pours out from the incense burner of the pagoda, and curls and circles melodiously upwards, making people look like an illusion.

"How can there be women coming and going in a place of pure cultivation, and they don't look like people who believe in Buddhism?" Ziqing intuitively realized that Master Wu must know about this, but why did he turn a blind eye?

Master Wu Wu smiled and replied, "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

When Ziqing heard this, she fell silent.

Master Wu Wu knew that Ziqing thought he was talking about Buddhism, and felt that he had a kind face, so he deliberately continued to dial:

"When the fate comes, just follow it, don't be greedy or seek; when the fate goes, just let it go, don't stay or miss it. From the perspective of the world, Miss Qingfei is just wanting and thinking, but in Jinyuan, she is just Qingquan. Squeeze, wipe away the clouds."

"The mage said that Li Jinyuan didn't have an obsession with Miss Qingfei, but just regarded her as the most beautiful thing in the world, got close to her, and admired her." Ziqing suddenly remembered that Li Jinyuan looked at the little sparrow that came by mistake Then those tender eyes came.

Dharma Master Wu Wu nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile: "Little benefactor's wisdom is not shallow. Buddha does not lie in Buddha statues, not in Buddhist scriptures. Buddha is you, and you are Buddha. You don't need to ask for the other side. Once you realize it in your heart, you will achieve it immediately." Buddha. People in the world are often unable to comprehend it thoroughly. If they are obsessed with the appearance and obsessed with thoughts, they will think that monks should follow the clear rules and precepts, and cut off love and affection. If you don’t understand in your heart, no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to become a Buddha.”

Ziqing was in a trance and couldn't figure it out.Thinking of the little novice sneering at Li Jinyuan, and hearing the Buddhist words of Master Wu, he said: "Li Jinyuan is really lucky to have Master Wu as a close friend. In the eyes of the world, I am afraid that these behaviors will be hated and criticized by others." .”

Ziqing felt that Li Jinyuan was a coquettish and unrestrained person. Although the world admired his talent, they might not be able to tolerate him if they got close to him.Because even myself, when I first heard those gossip, I didn't take it seriously.

Thinking of the worldly perspective, Ziqing couldn't help feeling secretly.
