Chapter 44: Being a monk means saving all living beings

"Of course, Xiao Na will do his best to help everyone," Wukong stood on the stage and waved his hand firmly, saying firmly, "So, Xiao Na has already paid out of his own pocket and spent 30,000 yuan to buy ten seals. In this way, at least the problem of ten brothers in our family will be solved."

There was a bang below, and a whispering sound broke out again, but this time most of them were shocked by Wukong's behavior this time. After all, Zen Buddhism and Tiantai Sects that take the hierarchy route are different. Zen Buddhism takes the middle and lower levels of routes, which means that most monks in Zen Buddhism are suffering from having never seen money.

Thirty thousand guan, don’t say that a person has never seen so much money, even if he tied up all the more than 100 monks from Zhengjue Temple, maybe he has never seen so much money.

Whether it is Sengcan, Daoxin, or the Zen leaders such as Hongren and Shen Xiu Huineng who appeared in history, there are no monks whose family background can be compared with Wukong?

No, none

As soon as 30,000 guan was released, the more than 100 monks in Zhengjue Temple were shocked on the spot. What is this? You can buy more than 100,000 guans of sesame cakes. If a monk eats three sesame cakes a day, 30,000 guans can allow the monk to eat from this life to the next life.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, be quiet." Wukong continued to shout with the loudspeaker, "Everyone said, who should we give these ten seals?"

As soon as this sentence was said, it became quiet. Yes, there were too many monks and too few porridges, and more than one hundred monks had ten seals. Who should give this to whom should not give this to whom?

"Since you said that, you already have an idea," a young monk squeezed out of the crowd and said loudly to Wukong, "Then let me explain your thoughts clearly to everyone."

Wukong glanced at the young monk. Hum, I'm very familiar. Isn't this the way to block Monk Zhiyan just now and asked Monk Zhiyan to give a lecture to Monk Faxian?

"Before I talk about this, I will first talk about another thing, which is the matter of returning to secular life." Wukong casually changed the topic, "As the saying goes, Buddhism is vast and each has its own destiny. For example, I have followed my master and monk Daoxin to become a monk because I have seen through the world. I think all the fellows and brothers who come to Zhengjue Temple have their own reasons."

"When Xiao Na was in Jiangzhou, some of the fellow disciples in Dalin Temple became monks because of their full meals." Wukong continued, "I think this reason is also good, what do you think?"

The monks below also let out a low laugh. After all, they were monks, so naturally they could not be as despicable as ordinary people.

"Uncle Master is so amazing." Little shaman Wuneng and several other shamans from Dalin Temple were lying on the wall of the side hall, watching Wukong shouting in the crowd with a loudspeaker, looking proud, "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to speak when so many people were watching me."

"Nonsense, my uncle is of course awesome," said the little shaman Huikong next to me. "What my uncle said himself is that he is already a congenital strongman who has opened up the Ren and Du meridians."

"What is a strong innate person?" Wukong turned his head and looked at Huikong.

"A innate power, the acquired energy in the whole body has been transformed into innate true energy..." Hui Kong danced with her hands and began to explain the relationship between this innate power and the acquired power to Wuneng.

At this time, Wukong in the crowd didn't know that his random fooling novel setting had deceived someone, and he continued, "But no matter whether he was like Xiao Na, he felt that he had seen through the world or to have a full meal, in short, this is just a fate for my Buddhist sect. Because of fate, everyone gathered together."

"But now, trouble is coming. The court is coming to force everyone to return to secular life." Wukong said slowly, "I believe that in my Zhengjue Temple, there must be some people who think that returning to secular life is not a big deal. Since the court forces us to return to secular life, he cannot ignore our meals. As long as he speaks, he can fill his stomach, where is it? Are you right?"

A low laughter came from the monks below.

"First of all, I want to have a full meal, this matter is not embarrassing." Wukong waved his hand vigorously, "If you are afraid of the court, this matter is even less embarrassing. The court, who is not afraid, I am also afraid, so I know that there must be many people among you who have already planned to return to secular life, right?"

This time, there was a silence below. Even those who were really prepared would not jump out of public.

"I also know that it is a little hasty to ask you to make any decision now." Wukong continued, "Here, I don't care why you used to be a monk. I will only ask you one question. You can also use this sentence from me to ask yourself, what is your purpose of being a monk?"

"Just just to have a full meal?" Wukong asked, and then answered on his own. "I'm really sorry. Now the court does not allow Buddhism to take care of food."

This time the monk below could no longer laugh, and the entire square in front of the Main Hall was quiet.

"To make money to support your family? To make a name for yourself?" Wukong shook his head, "I still want to say sorry. The court said that monks cannot raise idle people anymore, and they are born to be the best than Taoist priests, so I think that if it is for these two purposes, it is easier to be a Taoist priest than a monk."

"What did I want to demand from everyone's choice?" Wukong continued, "So I will not blame you for wanting to return to secular life, or even planning to be a Taoist brother. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, so I can only say that you have no such fate with the Buddhist sect."

"But as a senior brother, I can't do anything else, but it's okay to help everyone solve their worries." Wukong said loudly, "In the next three days, I will wait for all my brothers in the Zen room of Zhengjue Temple. Anyone who feels that I am not suitable to be a monk can come to find me. Xiaona, a senior brother, I, will give you twenty-ton family payments."

"Yes, you heard it right, you're twenty scattered by one person." Wukong stretched out two fingers and said to the monk below, "Remember, I'm only waiting for you for three days, and it's timeless."

The chirping sounds below suddenly rose again. As soon as Wukong said this, the monks who had originally planned to return to secular life immediately made up their minds to go to Wukong to get money to return to secular life tomorrow.

"There may be some brothers who are going to ask, and if I stay, can I get the seal if I stay?" Wukong held the speaker, as if he was the host later. "I said, you are right, that's it. Only brothers who stayed can get the seal worth three thousand guan."

The voice below had not stopped, and then another wave of explosion occurred

"But with so many of us, who should we give to and who we don't?" Wukong continued, "What I say is not the limit, what you say is not the limit, what our believers say is not the limit."

Wukong waved his hand, "So I plan to conduct a survey in the four counties around our Huangmei, so that these believers can vote and get ten monks with the highest votes, and then they can get ten seals from us."

"The believers vote?" Faxian replied in surprise, "But how to vote?"

"This is simple," Wukong answered easily, "Xiao Na has a book here, with household registration information for all the personnel in the four counties of Huangmei. Xiao Na will find people to ask them about their impression of my monk Zhengjue Temple. Everyone can choose the monk he thinks is the best. Of course, it is okay not to choose."

As he said that, Wukong spread his hands easily, "In the end, the ten monks selected by the people from the four counties of Huangmei can get these ten seals."

"Why do we need to judge this? Shouldn't we judge the level based on our Buddhist practice?" Monk Faxian replied angrily, "Since it's a monk's business, why should ordinary people judge it? Moreover, these ordinary people even have some monks in Zhengjue Temple. No one must know about them."

"Since I'm talking about this, I still have to ask what I said just now." Wukong continued, "My brothers, what is your purpose of being a monk? It's not for the sake of having enough food, not for fame and fortune..."

"Since these things are not the case, why are you going to be a monk?" Wukong continued, "so it's better to live a life that makes people hard, and want to work hard to go to the Pure Land. Or have a higher goal, and want to be an Arhat Bodhisattva or something, or even a Buddha, right?"

The bald heads below stopped talking and looked up at Wukong.

"But in my opinion, if you only do these things, do you need to become a monk?" Wukong replied passionately, "Do you not do things like meditation, meditation, practice, and entering into meditation after you return to secular life? Do you think, can you not practice after you return to secular life?"

Monk Faxian pondered without saying a word.

"Of course you can do it" method, since Wukong didn't say it, he answered himself, "Is there any big difference between getting a seal and not getting a seal?"

Of course, Wukong himself knows that there are many differences. At least after the seal is obtained, your land, shops, etc. can be trustworthy and not paid taxes. But Wukong believes that in the current environment, even if a monk thinks about this, will he have the courage to say this?

After slowly turning around the bald head below, Wukong continued, "In my opinion, the reason why we became monks and cut off our common destiny was to save all sentient beings. We monks became monks and took care of the small family and the whole family. What we abandoned was our own small family, and what we cared about was all spiritual sentient beings in the world."
