Li Dandao left Qingniu Temple and went to Shifang Pure Land Temple.
Sure enough, there were many people in ragged clothes, but they were already worshiping here and did not enter the temple.
????????????????????????"Namo Amitabha!"
This is a slum area.
There is also the middle area, where there is a wooden bucket with beans in it. Those people kowtow once, chant a Buddha's name, and then put a bean, a grain of rice, and a grain of millet into it.
After waiting for the bucket of rice to be filled, a monk took out a cloth bag and poured the rice into it.
This is a donation of one meter or one grain, which has incredible merit.
Li Dandao bypassed the middle area and saw the rich area. Their housekeepers and servants commanded to carve words on a stone tablet: "In a certain month of a certain year, how much merit will be given to you."
There is also an incense tower, which is filled with smoke. Burning incense costs ten coins.
Li Dandao came specially wearing ordinary clothes, not a Taoist robe, and used the method of "hiding oneself" to reduce his sense of presence.
The humming of the Buddha's singing does not give people a sense of peace, but instead gives people a feeling of being upset.
Fortunately, Li Dandao had a golden lotus lamp in his heart that absorbed everything
"Ten thousand." The monk reported the price neatly.
Li Dandao looked sideways and saw that it was an old woman who had recently lost her grandson and drowned in the pond. She dreamed that her child said that the water was cold and she had no clothes to wear and was bullied.
So I came to the temple to ask the monk to perform a ritual ceremony.
So the monk made a price.
"this?"
The monk said: "Those who drown do not die properly, but die in vain. After death, they will become water ghosts and harm others. If they do not harm others, they cannot be reincarnated. But if they harm others, they will be punished in the Ice Hell."
"The monks and saints from Lingshan Mountain came down to the house of Elder Zhao of Savatthi State. They preached and recited sutras to him to ensure the safety of the living and the transcendence of the dead. Then they begged him for three measures of rice and three liters of gold."
"The sutra treasure is a supreme treasure, a priceless treasure. If the donor wants to ask for sutras, he should not be negligent or belittle him, otherwise he will be dishonest."
The old woman asked: "Where is the Ice Hell? What's so scary about it?"
"There are eight Ice Hells, also called the Eight Cold Hells, which are the Blistering Hell and the eight Great Red Lotus Hells."
"After being frozen, the sentient beings in this prison developed blisters on their bodies. In the biting cold wind, the blisters burst and formed wounds, with pus and blood coming out, and they were in extreme pain."
"Because the body was cracked by the cold, A Qiuqiu screamed in pain. In fact, the body was deformed by the cold, and the sound he made was out of tune. After waiting, it was difficult to make any sound. All he heard was the whirring sound."
¡°In the end, the wound cracked open due to freezing and turned into four or eight petals.¡±
"If you keep going like this, it will take five hundred years to complete your sentence before you can be reincarnated."
Li Dandao felt very uncomfortable listening to his threatening preaching.
"There is another problem here. Even if your grandson is reincarnated, he still has to watch the six paths of reincarnation."
"The scriptures say that if when a person dies, it starts to feel cold from the feet down to the top of the head, and finally only the top of the head is warm while other places are cold, you can know that he has become a saint."
"If when a person dies, it starts to get cold from the top down to the feet, and finally only the soles of the feet are warm and the rest is cold, then he will go to hell to suffer."
"Your grandson drowned to death. Where did he start to become cold? Was he reincarnated as a hungry ghost, or went to hell? Or went to the animal realm?"
When the old woman was frightened, she already looked miserable. She had endless terror in her heart and had boundless fear of hell.
"Then where can I go after I die?"
"This depends on the amount of blessings and merits you have as a benefactor. Amitabha Buddha once made a great wish that as long as he chants his name before his death or during his lifetime, he will be led to the Western Paradise."
The monk finally got the ten thousand and said that someone would go to her house to perform rituals for her grandson later.
This kind of thing shouldn't be unusual. Looking at the monk's grin, you can tell that this is something he has accomplished.
This person is quite smooth-talking. Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra and the Great Collection of Sutras can be read with open mouth.
A drowning person can solve ten thousand things by reciting two verses of the sutra.
Li Dandao thought about how his family used to sell medicine and only made a living a month. These ten thousand dollars would really not be available for a while.
Li Dandao didn¡¯t even look at what was going on outside, and went directly into the temple. There was a lot of incense inside, and there were many garlands, luo?, Vajra, Venerable, Bodhisattva, Buddha, the statues are solemn, painted with gold and colored, and there are paintings on the walls of every hall.
Ancient pigments are not cheap. They are all gem mineral pigments. With the artist's labor, this wall is worth at least ten taels of gold.
The aroma of incense is ten times stronger than in the Qing Niu Temple.
In the main hall, the monks sang sutras collectively, and the monk sitting in the master's seat knocked on the big wooden fish, reciting a sentence and knocking it.
The sound of empty Brahma seems to be able to wash away many desires in the human heart.
The Buddhist pillars and prayer wheels are as dense as a forest.
Li Dandao listened to the scriptures, and the golden lotus on the lake in his heart became brighter and brighter.
Li Dandao crossed the main hall and saw the fish pond. The pond was full of golden and red carps, all of dragon species, not ordinary carps.
There are many lotus flowers among them. Although May is not the season of blooming, there are many different species such as parallel lotus and golden lotus in this pool.
Many tourists come here to watch them. Of course, these belong to dignitaries. Otherwise, they would have to kowtow outside the temple to ask for merit.
Li Dandao saw a big tree with red ropes hanging on it and a sign hanging on it. It was a ginkgo tree.
There is a sign next to it: "Buddha Yin Jialan", which seals this tree as a protector.
The origin of the tree is stated on the sign: "Planted by Lord Kumarajiva himself."
Li Dandao walked up to the tree and took out a talisman: "Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen you for so many years? Why did you get into Buddhism? It's hard to find him for a while."
The talisman is the "wood killing talisman" used by Li Dandao to practice the Sanyin Demon Killing Sword to extract and refine the wood evil spirit, which is specially designed to kill the elves in the wood.
There are also spells recorded in Luban's book.
When an old carpenter harvests trees, he will be unwilling to do so when he realizes the calamity is approaching. He will often cause trouble, such as running over one or two people to death, dying suddenly after cutting down the tree, or a car accident.
There are various ways to "migrate" the practicing spirits in the trees, or to kill those who are stubborn and ineffective with talismans.
There is no wind in the big tree, but many leaves shake off, making a "wuwu" sound.
Among the trees, an old man with a green face could be seen, his face full of fear.
It turns out that after the wood charm shed its skin, it harmed half of Feng Subo's heart. With the help of half of his heart, he gradually gained wisdom and developed a mind. He gave up the old body and replaced the flowers with trees. As for the energy restored in the tree, he started to practice again. .
He even listened to the Dharma, absorbed the power of incense and vows, and wanted to cultivate a golden body. He thought he would be comfortable, but unexpectedly, Li Dandao came to his door.
"There is no Amitabha. The donor has listened to the scriptures for a long time. How come he doesn't even have the virtue of a good life? God lives in every plant and tree. Why should the donor harm his name?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
