At dusk, twilight rises, and the afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the rolling mountains of Wutai Mountain and the scattered temples there.
The tourists have dispersed, and the noise during the day has gradually subsided.
At this moment, Mount Wutai was shrouded in a peaceful light, taking off its commercial and impetuous cloak, restoring its true face for thousands of years.
There is a small temple on the waist of Dongtai Mountain. You can climb two or three miles from the backyard to reach the edge of Yishi Cliff.At this time, two figures stood by the cliff, namely Master Fa Neng, the abbot of the temple and a young man.
Young man, remember what I just said, when the Buddha gave up his status as a prince, he became a monk to practice in order to welcome rather than escape suffering.
Fa Neng said slowly at the young man in front of him.
Master, I know what you mean.I don’t want to escape anything, I just want to be quiet.
The young man seems to be trying to justify.
Fa Neng laughed.
You want to escape.Maybe you don’t realize it yourself, but it’s more likely that you are unwilling to admit it deep down.Moreover, if you are not calm in your heart, can you be quiet when you go to my temple and become a monk?
Didn’t it mean that Buddhism is quiet?
The young man asked.
It is Ah, the Buddhist place of quietness.But where is Buddhism?A temple?You are wrong, young man, Buddhism is in people's hearts.Because there are quiet people in the temple, they become quiet places.Do you understand?It is people who make the earth quiet, not the earth who make the earth quiet.
The young man was silent, sighed silently, and turned to look at the mountains far outside the cliff and the sky further behind the mountain.
There was the noisy city and colorful life he was familiar with and loved very much, but now it was everything he tried hard to stay away from.
The dusk is even darker.
Young man, I look at your face and you are a person with great blessings.Go down the mountain and go where you should go.
The young man was still a little hesitant, and Fa Neng smiled again.
You, have you read too many martial arts novels?Now is different from the past. Even if you want to become a monk, the procedures are very complicated.Every monk in our temple is registered by the Buddhist Association. How can I accept you casually?
The young man also laughed and said: Master, you know a lot.Do you also read martial arts novels?
This is the first time Fa Neng has seen the smile of this young man in the past few days.
The moment the young man showed his face, Fa Neng's eyes stopped on his face, his expression changed from surprise to doubt, and then to worry, and finally seemed to think of something, and finally became relieved.
I am far away from the world, but I may not be ignorant of the world.Similarly, if you want to become a monk, you may not need to stay away from it.
The Fa can answer the young man’s question just now, but he still seized the opportunity to persuade him.
Then he said: Young man, when I see you smiling, I gain something again.Yes, you have a lot of blessings in the future, but the peach blossoms you will have is not light.
Peach blossom luck?
The young man showed a deep disapproval.
Peach blossom disaster.
The Dharma can say in a deep voice, of course, it is a disaster or a fortune, and it is originally unrestrained. It depends on both opportunities and fate, and also on your own actions.Come, it's late, let's go back to the temple and I have something for you.You go down the mountain tomorrow.
Master, why don’t you accept me as a lay disciple?
Young people make their last efforts.
Meeting is fate, so why bother with fame?If you have time in the future, you can stay in the temple for a while, have some tea and eat some vegetarian food.
After saying that, Fa Neng had already walked towards the temple under the cliff.
The tourists have dispersed, and the noise during the day has gradually subsided.
