Cultivation is to reconcile with yourself one at a time; Cultivation is to let us better feel the beauty of life. After realizing the wisdom of Zen, let us work together on this road of awakening in life.

If you don't have a keen eye, don't talk nonsense. After reading the following article, you will know that strange people - great siddhas, Arhats, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are actually around us. It’s just that we don’t know it because we don’t have the discernment.

Our world is originally a land where mortals and saints cohabit, and who knows who will be a great achiever. This also tells us that we must not take the ostomy business lightly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when the retribution comes.

Let’s talk about it belowThe story of three extraordinary monks today:

The old monk Foyuan had a disciple named Chen Hongqiang who became a monk. He became a monk at a young age and practiced rigorously. Although he later returned to secular life, he still went in and out of temples and jungles to preach the Dharma and benefit living beings. When he was the secretary-general of the Sichuan Buddhist Association, he met three monks who had attained Taoism. The following stories are all his personal experiences.           

【Story 1]

At that time, there was an old monk who was the abbot of a temple. He had no culture and no rules. He was dirty and slovenly. Most monks regarded him as half-mad and half-stupid and avoided him. One day, the old monk suddenly came to him and said: “Great monk, I come to say goodbye to you. ”

“You are in such good health, why should you resign? ”

“I have no choice but to leave. Last night I dreamed that Lafayette came and scolded me, saying that you, this old guy, have been crazy all your life. You are 82 years old and you are still trying to get out. You have lived two years longer than me... Well, the scolding made me really embarrassed. Gotta go, gotta go. ”

Afterwards, the old monk went into his room, did not drink water or rice for three days, sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, and became relaxed. Mr. Chen personally held a fire for him and picked out three pea-sized relics from the pile of bones.

At that time, all the monks in the temple realized that this old man was a truly enlightened person.

【Story 2]

When Mr. Chen was the abbot of the temple, there was a monk who did not live in the temple. He built a tent and lived in a remote place on the mountain for many years. He had no education, so no one took care of him. One day, the monk suddenly came to see him in the temple and said embarrassedly:

“Great monk, I want to build a temple. ”

“Where have you cultivated? ”

“Where I live. ”

“Nowadays, many old temples don’t have money to repair them. Where can I have the money to build a temple for you alone? At best, I'll give you a plaque. ”

“It doesn’t require any money from the Buddhist Association, as long as it is approved. ”

“So what is the name of this temple? ”

“It's called Jianglong Temple. ”

Later, the application was approved, and indeed only a plaque with the name "Jianlong Temple" was given to hang on the thatched door. The Buddhist Association is really unable to help him raise funds to build a temple, and there is no hope for the construction of this so-called "Jianglong Temple".

Unexpectedly, a few months later, a team of Taiwanese laymen came to the mountain to find a "Subdued Dragon Temple". Chen Hongqiang thought about it and finally remembered the monk who lived in that hut, so he took the group there. Unexpectedly, the moment they saw Maofeng and the monk, all the lay people knelt down!

It turned out that many of this group of Taiwanese laymen had had the same dream, in which they dreamed that the Dragon Subduing Arhat appeared and gave guidance, saying that he was waiting for them at the Dragon Subduing Temple in a certain mountain in a certain province in mainland China. After several twists and turns, they finally found this mountain. At first sight, it was exactly the same as what they had dreamed of!

Of course, with such a strange fate, Jianglong Temple was then solemnly built.

【Story 3]

At that time, there was an old monk in the province who was nearly 100 years old. He smoked, drank, and gambled. The president of the Provincial Buddhist Association hated him very much and often denounced him to his face as "a seed of hell and a scum of the monk family."

Because the old monk was well-educated, Chen Hongqiang often cared about and got close to him without fussing about him. One time, the old monk showed him a document in private, and it turned out to be a Dharma-paying scroll written by the old monk Xuyun!  

Chen Jing asked: "Why do you have this? ! ” 

“Don't let anyone else know! If you want it, I'll give it to you. ” 

“Don't don't. ” 

Soon after, the old monk called him and entrusted him with his belongings in detail. Chen Jing asked why, and the old monk said: "Don't ask, God will tell you in half a month. ” 

More than ten days later, there was a big Dharma meeting in the whole mountain, and believers gathered together. The old monk put the money in several merit boxes in sacks and put them back in the monk's room where he lived. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, several thieves broke into the house and killed the old monk without grabbing the money. It turned out that the old monk had quietly transferred the money bag to another person's residence.

This matter was reported to the Buddhist Association, and the president said: "Look, retribution is coming! If such a person does not receive such retribution, wouldn’t it mean that the Buddhist law of cause and effect is no longer working! ” 

Because this old monk was the oldest monk in the province, had worked in the Provincial Buddhist Association in the early days of liberation, and had "died his life in the line of duty," the president had no choice but to burn him personally. It is said that while he was burning, he said: "Burn you hell seed! Burn the scum of your monk family! Burn you Buddhist traitor! ” Before the fire could get louder, the president turned around and left.  

Early the next morning, Mr. Chen opened the door of the incarnation cellar and saw five colors of light inside, and a strange fragrance. What’s even more surprising is that there are numerous large and small relics in the kiln, which are crystal clear, and I picked up three or four bowls!

This sight shocked everyone present!  

Later, when the president came, he prostrated himself on the spot in front of the incarnation kiln. While repenting painfully, he vowed to build the stupa for the old monk by himself. Later, the old monk's stupa was indeed built by the president.

From then on, the president no longer dared to look down on anyone. Even when faced with the violation of the precepts of drinking alcohol and eating meat, he did not dare to feel any hatred!

It seems thatThe Bodhisattva Arhat's teachings are eclectic. In all practices, one must first have a non-discriminatory mind, and then maintain a respectful attitude towards everyone, things and things around him.



Kind tipsIf one day the heaven of cultivation disappears, please come here to renew your relationship. ~
