As night fell, Xiang Que entered a restaurant, thinking he wanted to order some food and drink. Even though he was a god, he didn't need to eat or drink at all, but he still couldn't change his eating habit. He didn't eat or drink for a long time. It will inevitably be a little itchy.
It's just that the restaurant in Xitian disappointed him a little. They were all vegetarian meals without any wine or meat. Only then did he notice that the diners next to him were eating vegetarian food. Helplessly, Xiang Que had to order a few Such side dishes and porridge and rice, after all, they can't just leave after sitting in.
While Xiang Que was waiting, he saw a few monks sitting on a nearby table. Judging by their attire, they should belong to the Venerable.
On the continent of Western Paradise, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have the highest status, followed by arhats, and the status of the venerables is much lower, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are also big figures on Lingshan. These venerables came in After that, I saw that those people who were eating put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and saluted them, but these venerables were all expressionless, and they didn't even respond at the most basic level. On the contrary, those people didn't seem to feel something.
What made Xiang Que even more puzzled and strange was that the tray held by the waiter was obviously the vegetarian meal he ordered first, but when he passed by those monks, a monk suddenly beckoned , The waiter put the tray in his hand on the table, took down the vegetarian food inside, turned around and left after putting it away, and didn't even say hello to Xiang Que.
Xiang Que originally wanted to stand up and greet the waiter's theory one or two. He might have a stutter, but he would definitely have emotions. If this kind of thing were placed in the restaurant in his previous life, then everyone who ate it would probably have to wait. I have to break up with the people in the hotel, besides, the current service industry is very particular about first come, first served, and no one would do that.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Xiang Shuang's fast food was served. After the waiter put the tray on the table, he asked softly: "I ordered the fast food first, but why did you serve it first?" What about those masters?"
The waiter looked at him with very surprised eyes, as if he felt that Xiang Que's question was a bit stupid, but he might have realized it later and asked: "The guest officer is from outside, not from Xitian, right? "
?Nodded to the shortcoming, Xiao Er let out an "oh" and explained: "You may not know much about it when you are new here, but in Xitian, the masters of Lingshan enjoy the priority no matter what they do."
"Is it a rule?" Xiang Que asked with a frown.
Er Xiao shook his head and said, "It's not a rule, it's our way of respecting Master Lingshan"
Holding the chopsticks, Xiang Que was a little pensive, and at this time those venerables had just finished their fast meal, and saw them get up without even saying hello, and walked out of the restaurant. If you give money, you will naturally come over to clean up the leftovers on the table.
Leftovers means that there is still a lot of vegetarian food left, and they didn't eat it too cleanly, and even some dishes only moved a few chopsticks.
After Xiang Que came out of the restaurant after eating his vegetarian meal, he suddenly felt that Xitian was very different from the Xitian he had imagined.
Especially when walking on the street, many people and things he saw subverted his previous cognition even more.
For example, Xiang Que saw a plainly dressed mother holding a child in her arms and holding one in her hand. Then when she was setting up a street stall, she accidentally knocked over the fruit basket in front of her, and several fresh fruits rolled over. For a while, the mother was in a hurry to clean up because she had to take care of the two children. At this time, several monks passed by, but they didn't look down, let alone reach out to help.
Xiang Que also saw a man who was obviously terminally ill, and it was very difficult to walk. He could see that the patient was caused by the loss of vitality in his body, but there was clearly a venerable person in the real world passing by. Those who could take action to deal with it, but passed by without paying attention.
What about my Buddha being merciful and saving sentient beings?
Xiang Que was a little doubtful at the beginning, but after seeing a lot, he has no doubts except confusion. It seems that the compassion of these monks is just whatever he wants. Ordinary people who thought about being pulled over by the monks didn't complain a word.
In the next few days, Xiang Que left this town, and then continued to wander down. Anyway, he didn't have a definite destination at first. He just wanted to see the customs of Xitian casually, but after looking all the way, he found that what he had previously The problems I saw were found almost everywhere in Xitian.
Almost half of these Buddhist practitioners from the Western Paradise have always keptWith that lofty attitude, those ordinary people are like ants in all living beings in their eyes.
Of course, there are many such situations, and there are also many situations of compassion and pity for others. Some masters can also reach the level of saving all sentient beings.
Xiang Que was quite surprised at first, but then he thought of the part in Journey to the West where Tang Monk and his disciples were going to take away the scriptures after they arrived at Lingshan. In the end, some blank scriptures were fooled away by someone.
In the Buddhist family, there are eminent monks who can achieve the perfection of merit and virtue through practice, and some monks whose minds are impure and spoiled by the world. Generally speaking, there are good and bad people, and there is no distinction between monks and ordinary people.
Half a month after arriving in Xitian, Xiang Que was already tens of thousands of miles away from Lingshan Mountain. The place he was at now could be regarded as the border of Xitian, and if it was a little further away, it would be the outer sea area of ??Xitian.
This day, Xiang Que came to a remote mountain forest. Originally, he wanted to rest here for a while and then go back. He found a place to stay at the foot of the mountain near Lingshan. Even if he didn't show up, he could still take a look. Is it the grand occasion of Buddha's birthday?
However, in this mountain forest, Xiang Que suddenly heard some faint sounds of reciting scriptures. It used to be that there was a temple built here, so he walked over in a hurry.
Xiang Que was very curious about how there are temples in the mountains and forests, because in Xitian, all the temples are built in the city, and they look very tall.
The temple must be the brightest building in the city, and it is unique.
