Chapter 84 Eighty-third low wall

It has been many years since Tianming Temple was built. From the perspective of construction quality, the builders were very careful when building the temple. The first few houses were built for many years without any major problems. During the "Cultural Revolution", some foreign benefactors lived in the temple, and Tianming Temple became their headquarters for a while. During that time, they built several houses in Tianming Temple and a thick courtyard wall. In comparison, the few houses built in the later period often had problems, and rain leaked from time to time.However, the construction quality of the wall is very bad, with clear cracks on it, and a lot of weeds growing in the cracks.

It rained a lot for a while, and one afternoon we heard a loud noise in the Buddhist hall, so we hurried over to have a look.It turned out that the entire wall collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, the people in the temple and the donors who offered incense were all in the temple at that time, so no one was hurt. The fallen fence is very aesthetically pleasing, Jie Chen and Jie Ao spent a lot of effort to remove those stones, but the stones are too heavy to be removed in a short time. One day when we were moving stones, a very enthusiastic donor saw us.The benefactor ran to Master Zhihui and told Master Zhihui that he was a builder, and his construction team happened to be nearby, and he was willing to volunteer to help rebuild a wall in the temple.

Master Zhihui was embarrassed to trouble the benefactor, so he politely declined the benefactor's kindness, but the benefactor insisted on helping again and again, so Master Zhihui agreed. The benefactor went down the mountain, and when he came back the next day, he brought a few drawings, which were the design of the courtyard wall. At first, I thought it would be good to practice casually, but I didn't expect the benefactor to do it so seriously.There are several types of content in the picture, and the wall recommended by the benefactor is the same as the courtyard wall of the benefactors' homes at the foot of the mountain. The wall is very high, and some iron wire or glass will be placed on it as an anti-theft measure.

In fact, Jie Chen thinks that for Tianming Temple, it doesn't matter whether there is this wall or not. The function of the wall is nothing more than to stop people who behave badly. In Tianming Temple, there are no valuables, except for a few monks who can recite scriptures and scriptures and incense candles, it is really hard to miss. But the benefactor said, if we don't build a high wall, what if someone sneaks in and steals the commandment? Jie Chen rubbed his head and told the benefactor that it is useless for the other party to steal the precepts and go back. Ordinary dogs are used to guard the house, but the precepts in our temple have seen the world. Ten strangers, it will also sleep calmly.

The benefactor was taken aback for a moment, maybe he didn't expect Jie Yan to have such concentration, and he said, what if there is a benefactor who doesn't know the truth? After thinking about it, he and the benefactor took the blueprint and asked Master Zhihui's opinion together. Master Zhihui looked at several pictures, but chose the shortest wall. The benefactor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and went to repair the wall according to the blueprint. It didn't take long for the courtyard wall to be built, which was very beautiful.Although short, it looks much more delicate than the previous earthen wall.

As for Tenmyouji, just like before the walls were built, no bad behavior has ever visited. Perhaps, as Master said, for a wall, no matter how high it is, it can't stop people who want to come in, and no matter how short it is, it can't attract people who don't want to come in. We often think that the boundary between what is possible and what is not is a wall, a rule, a law, but in fact we are wrong.External restrictions can never stop the heart that wants to overcome. In the face of principles, the most important thing is the wall we build in our hearts.
