Chapter 8 The Eighth Chapter Shi Lingjuan Beggar Received Grace and Was Expelled from Jigong

But he said that Ji Dian stayed at Liu Bust's house all night, and he didn't look good, so he got up early, walked out of Qingbo Gate on the cold foot.Considering that you are cold and hungry, you might as well go to Wang Taiwei's house and ask for breakfast before you make up your mind.So he walked all the way to Wansongling.Walking past Chen Taiwei's mansion, the doorman invited him to stop when he saw him, and said, "Where has Master gone?"My master misses you very much, so come in and sit down! ' Hurriedly went in to report.The Taiwei walked out of the hall and asked Ji Dian to meet him. Ji Dian hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.The Taiwei said, "Why haven't we seen each other for a long time?" Ji Dian said: "Since the teacher Yuan Xian returned to the west, he could not bear the anger of the monks and went back to the rooftop for more than a year."When I came back, I wanted to visit the Taiwei, but was restrained tightly by the new elder.Three days ago, with the kindness of Cheng Huogong, he had three bowls of wine with me in private and was very excited, so he didn't tell the elders about it, and came out privately for two days. Today I came to see the Taiwei. The Taiwei said: "You must be hungry when you come out empty-handed, and ask for soup." Ji Dian said: "The poor monk does not eat soup." The Taiwei smiled and said, "Don't eat soup, I think it's time to eat wine." Then he asked the person on duty to prepare a lot of food and wine and bring them out.

Ji Dian was not polite, so he chewed and drank fifteen or six bowls of wine in a row, saying: "Enough, enough!"And don't be a captain, I want to go back to the temple. The Taiwei said: "Although you are full, I see that you are wearing this long robe, and your bare legs are exposed. Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Ji Dian said: "Ling is Ling, but this stinky leather bag doesn't matter much, let him be free." Taiwei said: "Although you say so, I can't see it for you. I will give you a piece of silk, an official silk, and a tael of silver for tailoring money. You can make clothes and wear them." Ji Dian said: "It's not suitable for a poor monk to wear silk clothes, but the kindness of the Taiwei is hard to retreat, so I have to accept it." The Taiwei asked someone to take it out and pay it to Ji Dian.Ji Dian said: "The poor monk has received such great love from the Taiwei, how can he repay it?"No matter!There will be a catastrophe next winter in your family, let me eliminate it for you! ’ And asked the Taiwei for a incense box and a pen and paper. I didn’t know what to write on the paper, put it in the box, sealed it, and gave it to the Taiwei himself: “You can offer this box in front of the Buddha seat. When there is a disaster next year, you can open it to see it, follow the words, and ensure safety. At this time, the Taiwei still seemed to believe it or not. Unexpectedly, in the winter of next year, the Taiwei suddenly got a carbuncle on his back, which was as big as a tea pot. Take it out and look at it, but it is exactly a doctor's prescription.The Taiwei treated him according to the law, and he saw the effect immediately. Only then did he know that Ji Dian was a divine monk, so I won't talk about it later.

But he said that Ji Dian got silk, silk and silver, bid farewell to the Taiwei, and was about to go back to the temple when he walked down Wansongling, and saw five or six beggars, frozen there, crying and crying, Ji Dian couldn't bear it. Said: "distressed!"Distressed!People are afraid of the cold on my body, but who knows that I have been colder than me?Pitiful!Pitiful! ’ Then he approached and asked, ‘You are freezing here, do you want someone to help you? When all the beggars heard the word "Zhou Ji", they all tried their best to get up, but when they saw it, they were a poor monk with ragged clothes, who were similar to us, sighed, and fell asleep again.Ji Dian said: "I asked you whether you want to give alms or not. Why did you look at me and fell asleep again without saying a word?" The beggars said: "We are so hungry and cold, why don't we ask others to help us?"I see you monk, you are as poor as us, what big talk! Ji Dian said, "It's no wonder you are so cold. It turns out that you are blindly deceiving."Although I am a poor monk, I have the goods of the rich man here. Then he went to his bosom, took out the silk official silk, took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, held it in his hand and said, "Isn't it?" When all the beggars saw it, their eyes lit up, and they were not afraid of the cold. They got up together and surrounded Ji Dian and said, "Teacher, father!"You are thin and thin, don't you save some clothes to make yourself, and give them up to us? Ji Dian said, "If I make my own clothes, what do I ask you to do?"But this silk is not suitable for you to use. You can take it to the city to exchange for some cloth, and divide it evenly to make clothes. After that, he paid the silk, silk and silver to all the beggars, and went back to Lingyin Temple by himself.All the beggars rejoiced, and they all said that the living Buddha appeared to save all living beings, and hurried into the city to change the cloth.

But when Ji Dian went back to the temple, he saw the head seat and asked, "You haven't seen me for a few days. The elders are very inquiring, but where are you?" Ji Dian said: "I was restrained by the elders so hard that I couldn't survive, so I went out of the temple to play."To tell you the truth, I ate and drank at Shengyang Hall for days, and stayed with prostitutes in Xinjie. The first seat said angrily: "That's all!"That's all!For a monk, eating alcohol is already a violation of the precept, so why does he go to prostitution again?Hurry up to the abbot's room and explain it to the elder so that I won't be troubled later! Then he dragged Ji Dian into the abbot's room, and reported to the elder, "Ji Dian didn't abide by the Zen rules, escaped from the temple privately, drank alcohol and played prostitutes, he should be punished!" The elder asked Ji Dian, "Do you really have this matter?" Ji Dian said, "It's just a game for a while, why not?" The elder said: "Don't play games, how can a prostitute play games!" ’ The waiter was ordered to beat him twenty boards. The waiter took the order and dragged Ji Dian to the ground and took off his robe. Unexpectedly, Ji Dian was not wearing trousers. He twisted his body and exposed the thing in front of him, which attracted all the monks to hide. smile.When the elder saw it, he immediately asked the head seat, "Why is this monk so rude and doesn't know some rules?" The chief seat said: "This is the teacher Yuan Xian protecting his shortcomings, saying that he is crazy and indulged, so he is blindly presumptuous." The elder said: "He is crazy, and it is useless to beat him. Just let him up and let him go!" Ji Dian let go, jumped up, walked out of the abbot's room, laughed and said: "You are such evil monks, drag me to see the elder, expect the elder to beat me."The elder is affectionate, but he doesn't hit me, he just thinks it's boring to procrastinate!If you are a hero, you must fall three times for me. The monks said: "You are a madman, who will protect you!" Ji Dian said: "A monk like you can only talk nonsense, but now you are afraid of me!" 'Since then, it has become more and more crazy, causing chaos in the temple.

All the monks in the temple came to plot with the elder one after another and wanted to drive him out of the temple.The elder said: "Although he is crazy, he is an apprentice who passed on the bowl from his predecessor. How can we chase him away for no reason." The prison temple said: "I have a plan to make him unable to settle down. How about it?" ’ The elder asked: ‘What strategy? Jiansi said: "There used to be a master of salt and vegetables in the temple of Xiannian, who used alms to supply public goods every day. Because this ministry was the most difficult to handle, no one could take it, so it was abolished."Why don't the elders entrust him to be a benefactor and tell him to go for alms every day, if he can't get it, he will naturally be ashamed and return to the temple without shame. The elder said: "This plan is very good, I'm afraid he won't accept it." The prison temple said: "It's not difficult. He is the most greedy for alcohol. As long as you treat him to a happy meal, there is no reason not to accept it." The elder then asked the monks to prepare wine, and at the same time asked the waiter to find Dao Ji. Ji Dian walked into the abbot's room and met the elder.The elder said: "All the monks buy wine and invite you here." Ji Dian said: "All the monks and I are enemies, why are you willing to invite me with this bodhicitta today?"There must be a reason, I ask the elders to explain the reason, so that I can eat it. The elder said: "When I first came here, the abbot, I didn't know what happened before. All the monks said that there was a salt vegetable master in the temple in the past, and he supplied it with alms.Today I want to still set up a master of transformation, and go to the ten directions for alms. I want you to write a short essay, so I buy wine and invite you. Ji Dian said: "It's not difficult. You can eat it happily. You can eat it happily. The article is done quickly!" The elder said: "Since I invite you, I will naturally eat as much as you can!" Then he ordered Xingtong to take out the food and drink, put it in front of him, put down a big bowl, Ji Dian laughed and said, "Every day I hide from the elder, I just feel uncomfortable. Today, the elder invites me to eat happily!" 'Pick up the bowl, eat twenty or thirty bowls as soon as you start, and still refuse to stop.The elder said: "Even if you eat wine, you must also do essays. If you don't get drunk, you will make a mistake." Ji Dian said, "It's not difficult!"not difficult!Get the pen and inkstone quickly, and eat it after I make it! The waiter put the four treasures of the study, pushed away the booklet, and began to grind the ink thickly. Ji Dian didn't think about it, he picked up the pen and wrote:

'The most urgent thing for people in the world is hunger and cold; life is related, nothing more than food and clothing.There is a trace of hunger, which can last for years; countless grains fill the intestines, and it is difficult to endure for half a day.Without the mercy of the benefactor, the Temple of the Five Viscera would collapse.If there is no generosity of Tanyue, the square inch of land will be devoured and starved.The fasting is light, but I want some alkaline taste to taste; I am hungry after praying to Buddha, I just want some sauerkraut to eat.I can't bear to rest, but I have no money to buy.The use is to respect and hold short and sparse, knocking on high doors; not asking for alms food and clothing, but only turning some pickled vegetables.If you are willing to follow the fate, even yellow leaves are Bodhi; if you are willing to give up, the bitter water is nothing but nectar.Don't know that limited vegetables can't produce good fruits; you must know that boundless sea water is full of blessings.If you miss the monk's troubles, you will soon be happy with the officials.In the end, thirty guan of wealth a day will be provided for permanent residence; from a distance, there must be immeasurable blessings all over the ten directions.It's not a lie, we must work hard!Please be careful. '

After Ji Dian finished writing and submitted it, the elder read it and applauded: "Wonderful article!"Wonderful article! Asking Xingtong to fetch more wine, Ji Dian was so happy that he ate another dozen bowls. When he was happy, the elder said, "Your writing is really a little subtle."Today, one guest will not bother two hosts, so please be the host! Ji Dian said, "I'm a lunatic, how can I be a master?" The interface of the prison temple said: "Brother Ji, the elder entrusted you, but you don't want to refuse. You know the court officials of the sixteenth hall and the rich man of the eighteenth line. Don't say eight punctures a day, even eighty punctures can be melted." . Ji Dian said: "I know the court officials and rich men. I had to trick him into drinking and eating. How can I get money?" ’ The elder said: ‘Just spend half a year and three months indiscriminately, and I will find someone to replace you! Ji Dian was already drunk at this time, and said, "I have eaten your wine, but I can't push it, so I will be a master!" The elder was overjoyed, so he called Qiqixiang, flowers and candles, spread out the red carpet, and asked Ji Dian to receive three respects from the elder.Ji Dian took the [Almanac Book], walked out of the abbot's room, and secretly said, "This move is obviously a trap. He wants to drive me out of the temple. Why don't you take the degree and go elsewhere!" Then he went back to the abbot's room and reported to the elders: "As the master of transformation, it is inevitable to go to various places. If there is no guarantee, people will only say that I am a wild monk. Who will give alms?" The elder said, "That's what I thought." Even if the prison temple was ordered to take out the degree certificate and hand it over to Ji Dian for collection, Ji Dian saw that it was getting late, so he went to the meditation hall to sleep all night.exactly:

Burn day and night to seek the Buddha's salvation, the Buddha can't see it in person; It's not that there are many thorns in the mind of Zen, and jealousy is always born of greed and hatred. After all, I don't know how Ji Dian will go out of the temple tomorrow.Let's listen to the next chapter. Comments: 1. Seeing that I was full and cold, Taiwei Chen gave me a few turns of silk and a tael of silver.Money and wealth, the less the better. (The more things in the body, the better. No wonder there are a lot of good wine, but this is only to replenish water. There was no relationship between Coca-Cola or black pine soda at that time, otherwise the old monk would not be regarded as a wine monk!) There are also some little Jigongs (little beggars) who need my help, so they also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and took Chen Taiwei's gift.

2. After returning to the temple, I asked myself: "I have been eating wine in Shengyang Tower again and again, and I have been staying with prostitutes in Xinjie!" 'The group of monks was alarmed and wanted the elders to whip them, but unexpectedly I showed my true face again, but it was 'clean one', which made their six roots vibrate, dizzy and ignorant.In order to test them, they feigned madness and madness, causing the group of monks to stir up agitation, and forgot the sermon of 'as if they were not moving'. I have to realize what the world has to do with me?exactly:

There are many right and wrong temples in ancient times, and people who are full of them will never forget Amitabha; The truth is short and the tongue is long and rotten, but you don't know that the sea is quiet and there is no wave. 3. I didn’t know that Ji was a real Buddha, and it caused demons to be born in the Buddha’s place, causing the monks to fidget and try to find a way to drive me away. They asked me to be the "salted vegetable transformation master" so that they could melt salty vegetables and fill their bellies. I also fainted for a while, and agreed immediately, but I had to drink first, and then I wrote a short article to make all living beings feel kind.To put it bluntly, I don't want to ask people to send some rice, vegetables and money to impress the stinginess of all beings!If you talk about cheating on eating and drinking, it doesn't sound good, and if you ask for alms to make offerings to the monks, so as to make meritorious deeds for the donor, everyone is very happy, everyone is happy!

Fourth, to ask for alms, and go to the temple.Going out of the temple to find food?No, use this to save sentient beings!The monks chased me!The big plan has been accomplished, and I am also happy that it is logical that I can walk out of the temple generously, and both of them are happy!
