Chapter 9 The Ninth Chapter Unwilling to be bullied into the Jing, Ci Xi, showing mercy to build the Tibetan Palace

But he said that Ji Dian spent the night, and on the next day, he walked out of the mountain gate and thought along the way: "This group of monks formed a trap and drove me out of the temple gate. I want to live here reluctantly, but there is no scenery."Elder Dehui of Jingci Temple has always been compatible with me, if he goes to vote for him, he will definitely keep me. After making up his mind, he went straight to Jingci Temple.When he came to see the elder for questioning, the elder asked, "Where did Ji Gong come from?" Ji Dian said: "My disciple's suffering is indescribable for a while. All the monks in Lingyin Temple, who disagreed with my disciple, wanted to drive me out. They got me drunk yesterday and asked me to be the master of salt vegetables."The disciple suddenly promised that I would go back to the temple without face today, so I had to come and vote for the elders, hoping that the elders would be merciful and keep me. The elder said: "Why don't you stay, but you are a descendant of Lingyin Temple, and you haven't made it clear. Elder Chang may not look good. I will write a letter tomorrow to persuade him. If he has any opinions, then let me know." If I stay with you, the two families will have nothing to say. Ji Dian said: "My teacher's opinion is very correct!" That night Ji Dian stayed in the abbot's room for a rest.The next morning I wrote a book and sent an envoy to Lingyin Temple to present it to Elder Chang.Elder Chang opened it and saw that it read:

In front of the Dharma Seat of Changgong, the younger brother of the abbot of Jingci Temple in Nanping Mountain, the monk Dehui Jishou and the senior brother: Now that the new bamboos are growing, the trees are full of shade, the respectful Taoism is peaceful and prosperous, and the Zen rules are multiplying the happiness. I am very fortunate! Enlightened by: Daoji, a loose monk, came to our temple yesterday and said that his master had kindly sent him to be the master of salt and vegetables. He agreed when he was drunk, but it was difficult to walk when he was awake. Compassionate mind, this monk has been suffering from alcoholism and has become mad at times. He withdrew his previous order and ordered him to practice later. If you underestimate it, forgive him for his ignorance, and he will deliver it tomorrow.

Elder Chang said angrily: "Since Daoji is incompetent, how dare he accept my three worships?"Such rudeness, I will never use him in the temple! 'On the back of the simple board, I wrote eight characters: 'It's like this monk, sent to you without labor. ' Then he sent the original book to the emissary and brought it back to the elder, who said angrily, "Elder Chang is hateful!"I don't belong to you, why is it so rude, since he refuses so much, I should take you here.As long as you compete with me, you will be promoted to be a secretary monk, and you will be required to do all the announcements and essays. Ji Dian agreed one by one, and thanked the elders.The elders went to choose a Buddhist site to sit in meditation and recite scriptures, and they lived in peace.

After more than a month, Ji Dian suddenly stepped out of the mountain gate one day and walked to the bottom of the long bridge. He saw the prince who sold noodles and fruits beating beans in front of the door. not see? Ji Dian said: "It's a long story, but now I am so happy that I was driven to Jingci Temple by Lingyin Temple, and I am your neighbor." Wang Gongdao: "It's good in front of the door. I'm doing business at this time, and I don't have much to do. How about playing chess with you?" Ji Dian said: "It makes me, if you win, you will invite me a plate of noodles, but if I lose, how about letting you chisel a chestnut on my bald head?" The prince laughed and said, "Good!"it is good! So he took out a stool, put it in front of the door, took out the chess pieces, and played five or six games in a row, but Ji Dian lost one game.Wang Gong said: "How can a monk chisel your chestnut? Just write a signboard for me!" Ji Dian said, "I'm not lying to you. I have no wine to eat. I can't write well." The prince said: "It doesn't matter if you want to eat wine!" ’ He called to the hotel at the opposite door, brought some hot wine, and Ji Dian made fifteen or six bowls of it, before he asked, ‘What kind of sign do you want to write? The prince took out a pair of papers and said, "It's just selling noodles and fruits." Ji Dian picked up his pen and wrote ten big characters:

Wangjiaqing oil is fine, soybeans are big, flour is fruit. The prince put up this signboard himself, and the business is booming day by day, so there is no mention of the funeral.But Ji Dian said goodbye to the prince, and took advantage of the wine to go all the way to Wansongling to see Mao Taiwei. Mao Taiwei met him and asked, "Why haven't you come for a long time?" Ji Dian said: "It's hard to say. I was expelled from Lingyin Temple. Now I am a secretary in Jingci Temple. I am busy all day long, so I don't have time to see Taiwei." Taiwei said: "It's hot today, and it's boring to be idle. It's just right for you to come, and I will go to the bamboo garden with you to enjoy the cool and eat wine." Ji Dian said: "Meng Taiwei is so kind, Ji Dian dare not refuse." Taiwei Mao laughed when he heard this.When the two arrived at the bamboo garden, the scenery was satisfactory. You have a cup, I have a cup, and eat until sunset.Taiwei Mao stayed in Jidian and stayed in the mansion for six or seven days. Jidian resigned from Taiwei Mao and went to see Taiwei Chen again.The Taiwei took him in and met each other and said, "I heard that you are at Mao Taiwei's house. I blame you for not coming. Now that you have come, I will keep you for five or seven days before letting you go." Ji Dian laughed and said, "As long as there is wine to eat, why not live for a year?" The Taiwei said: "There are few other things. I'm afraid you can't finish the wine." The two talked and laughed. They had already lined up for wine and they ate each other. They didn't rest until they were drunk, and they ate again when they woke up.Ji Dian suddenly thought of it and said: "The elder treats me as a person. If I came out privately for more than ten days, wouldn't he be offended!" So he resigned Chen Taiwei bitterly and hurried back to the temple.

Just arrived at the long bridge, I met the fireworker in the temple who came to look for it, and complained: "Where have you been for half a month?"The elder is very distressed, we can't find it anywhere, so go see the elder quickly to save him from worrying! After hearing this, Ji Dian hurried into the abbot's room, knelt down in front of the elder and said, "The disciple has been debauched for a few days. He is indeed guilty. I hope my master will forgive you." The elder said: "How can I charge you? Why don't you change your past for a while?"Let's talk about where you are these few days, is it possible that you are involved in adultery again? Ji Dian said: "How dare the disciples go back to the past, just because they haven't gone out for a long time, so they have lost their acquaintances."Therefore, when we arrived at Wansongling, we stayed for six or seven days due to Taiwei Mao's kindness, and stayed for another four or five days because of Taiwei Chen's kindness, so there was a delay. The elder said: "Nonsense, they are prominent officials of the imperial court. How can you associate with them? Since you are so respected, Ritan Bantou asked you to be the master of salt vegetables the day before. Why can't you let him do it?" Ji Dian said, "What can't the owner of salt vegetables do?"Just unconvinced and came to eat with this group of monks!If you love each other like the elders, don't talk about salted vegetables, you need ten pigs a day, and you can get it! The elder said, "Stop boasting. There used to be a Shoushan Fuhai Tibetan Hall in the middle of my temple, but now it's broken."If you get three thousand coins, you can start building, can you melt it? Ji Dian said: "It's not that the disciple boasted that if there are three thousand guan, it only takes three days to finish, but I need to be drunk!" The elder laughed and said, "Since you have the ability to spend three thousand guan in three days, you should be invited!" That is to say, the prison temple was ordered to prepare wine and food. The elders accompanied Ji Dian to drink.The elder said: "It's time to open the fate book today, but you are drunk, so write it tomorrow!" Ji Dian said: "Master doesn't know that his disciples are like Li Taibai. The more wine, the better the writing." So he asked Xingtong to take the pen and inkstone, and bring it to the [Alchemy Book]. The ink was ground thick, and he picked up the pen and swiped it:

With the Buddha's sun shining forever, the wheel of Dharma turns constantly.However, although Yonghui is in the middle of the sky, he sometimes takes a break; relying on constant changes, those who rely on the ground, never forget the old. I secretly saw Jingci Temple in Nanping Mountain, which inherits the Zen Buddhism of the East and is endowed with the beauty of the West Lake.Recently, due to the collapse of the Tibetan hall, there is nowhere to store the longevity mountain and the sea of ​​blessings, so there are few Buddhist temples, and there are no rich or noble people. Because the Dharma wheel of thinking does not turn, how can the food wheel circulate?If the Buddha's day can be radiant, the monk's day will be easy to spend.Hongzi vows strength, bows down to compassion.Shi En must be a great sage, and he must get three thousand guan for his work.If you are willing to rejoice, everyone will be enthusiastic; if it is easy to achieve, the past and present will look up to you.If there is a spirit above, the feeling will be able to connect; without leaks, you will return what you receive.Don't be honest, this heart is credible; don't say it is a lie, my Buddha proves the alliance.The chief secretary monk of recruiting Yuanhua - Daoji Jinshu.

After Ji Dian finished writing, the elder was overjoyed to see that every sentence had a Zen meaning, and asked the waiter to pour wine for him to eat. Ji Dian was so drunk that he went to sleep. When I got up early the next day, I went to the abbot's room to see the elder and said, "I'm going out today to beg for alms, and I promise to finish it in three days. My teacher needs to be at ease and don't listen to other people's gossip." The elder said: "This is a good deed of Buddhism. As long as you sincerely go for alms, you can give it a few days." Ji Dian said, "Maybe!"May as well!Only three days! He actually took the fate book and walked out of the gate of the temple, and went straight to the mansion of Taiwei Mao in Wansongling.Mao Taiwei said: "Why did Jigong come so early?" Ji Dian said, "Because I couldn't sleep because of something on my mind, I got up early to ask the Taiwei." The Taiwei said, "What do you ask me for, but you wake up so early?" Ji Dian said: "Our temple has always had the Tibetan hall of Yishou Mountain and Fuhai, but it has been ruined for a long time. Now the elders are determined to rebuild it and entrust me to raise three thousand coins. I think I am a crazy monk. Where can I go?"So I came to ask Taiwei. Then he presented the fate book, and the Taiwei said, "Although I am an official of the court, I have three thousand spare money for charity. Since you have come, I have no choice but to help you dozens of pens as much as you want!" Ji Dian said: "Dozens of successes can't be done, I hope the Taiwei can do it all by himself!" The Taiwei said: "Since you say so, let's wait for a month or two until the next officials gather." Ji Dian said: "The elders limit me to ask for it within three days. How can it be delayed for a month or two?" Seeing that it was getting tighter, the Taiwei laughed and said, "You are such a madman. How can you have three thousand coins all at once?" Ji Dian said, "Why don't you say no?"The Taiwei only accepted the fate book, and you will have it. Then he threw the margin book on the table, turned over and left.The Taiwei hurriedly asked someone to catch up and handed the fate book back to him. Ji Dian took it, threw it in the hall and said: "I don't want yours, why are you so stingy?" After finishing speaking, he went out all the time.The Taiwei picked up the fate book and asked people to chase him, but he disappeared.The Taiwei ordered the door to stop letting the lunatic Jidian in from now on, so as not to harass him.I don't know how Ji Dian got three thousand coins. Let's listen to the next chapter.

Comments: 1. There is no place to keep people here, but there is a place to keep people.Lush yellow flowers are nothing but prajna, and green and green bamboos are all Buddha-nature.Since the monks of Lingyin Temple planned to expel me from the temple, it would be a good thing to change the environment.I have the Buddha in my heart, how can I live in a Buddhist temple?Therefore, traveling in mountains and rivers, I came to Jingci Temple all the way. Blessed is Elder Dehui! 2. I am used to being a monk, and I can't realize the great way.Elder Dehui got very drunk because of my arrival and slipped out again, which made him very troubled, haha!exactly:

Affliction is Bodhi, and students write exam questions; The teacher adds wisdom and wisdom, and the Buddha nature has no high or low. 3. The master of salted vegetables in Lingyin Temple could not be made. It turned out that the Shoushan Fuhai Tibetan Hall in Jingci Temple asked me to raise funds for the construction, so I wrote a [Short Essay on Recruiting Fate], which was full of emotion and touched good men and women.Kuangyan 3,000 guan money was collected in three days, and I was so happy to present hot wine as a gift for my teacher.After reading this essay, you will know that it is a wonderful lesson on Zen. People in the world should not glance at the flowers, and read them several times to see the true face of the flowers when they are smiling.

4. I want to spend three thousand coins for Taiwei Mao, and the limit is three days, which makes the Taiwei anxious. Where does the money come from?world!Don't say you don't have money to be kind, once you spend thousands of dollars when you are sick, why don't you say you have no money at this time?Died without money.This matter is only waiting for Taiwei Mao to change hands, nothing is paid, and sincerity is enough!
