186, Meeting on a Narrow Road (1/2)

The Sutra Collection Building of Daxueshan Temple's Jinglun Yuan is composed of several three-story watchtowers connected to the left and right side by side. Google search reading

The building is tall and majestic,

There are prayer flags floating on the top floor,

Snow covers the top of the watchtower, adding a bit of solemnity and holiness to it.

Danjia wrapped her leather robe tightly around her body to protect herself from the cold wind. She has much more clothes to keep out the cold than those little yellow monks who clean up all over the monastery.

There were much more than the few tall servants who walked in from the door of Jinglunyuan in the distance.

"Are you here to borrow books too?"

The little monk in yellow asked the sturdy, flesh-faced servants.

The servants seemed a little indifferent to the little monk in yellow.

But they seemed to be worried that this was not their home stadium, so they answered perfunctorily: "Yes, the Sutra Library is the building in front, right?"

"Yes.

However, the guru guarding the Sutra Library will not arrive for more than half an hour.

You can take a walk around and come back. "The little yellow monk performed his duties diligently no matter who came or what his attitude was.

The tall and strong servants who gathered in the crowd looked at the side of the Sutra Library.

Only a thin and small servant was seen in Danga.

They nodded.

"Okay, let's come back in half an hour!" the tall and strong servant replied, and a group of adult male servants turned around and left the Jinglunyuan.

The little monk in yellow watched them leave,

Holding the broom in his arms, he arrived in front of Danga and whispered: "You will be the first to go in and borrow a book later. Once you borrow a book, hurry up and leave."

These people seem to be difficult to get along with. "

Danga heard this,

She glanced at the little yellow monk in front of her with some surprise, not much older than herself. She did not expect that she would receive special care from him.

"Thank you." She thanked the little monk in yellow in a low voice.

"Your monastery must be very poor. It doesn't even have mature monks and slaves. It only sent you to follow your disciples." The little yellow monk 'Zhakang' looked at Danjia with pity in his eyes, turned around and was about to leave.

Danga was stunned.

It was only then that she realized how special it was for masters and servants like herself and Buddha, both of the same age, to come to the Snowy Mountains to practice together.

Other Buddhist disciples and Hutuktu are accompanied by strong male servants.

I can receive more care along the way...

My own venerable leader brought such a sluggish person like him...

Danjia blinked, called to the little monk in yellow who was about to leave, took out a few dried meat sticks from his leather pocket, and handed them to him: "Thank you, here you go."

She also has some golden beads that Su Wu gave her casually,

But Danga knew,

Giving this kind of thing as a gift may not necessarily bring benefits to the other person or yourself, but may even bring harm.

——Methods like spreading money to attract people's hearts are not included in this list.

The little monk in yellow saw the other person stretching out his rough purple-red hands.

Hand yourself a few sticks of dried meat,

His slightly raised Adam's apple rolled,

He took the pieces of dried meat and said in a lower voice: "Thank you, I got up late today and didn't eat anything in the morning."

"Eat quickly."

Danga said with a smile.

The two little people stood together and communicated for a while.

Zhakang suddenly said: "Let me go and call the guarding guru for you. He often doesn't open the door to the Sutra Library on time."

"Hey, it's better not to do it.

You woke him up,

What if he beats you up? "Danga knew the virtues of many so-called gurus, and he quickly stopped him after hearing this.

"No, no, the guard guru is a good man. He will scold me a few words, but he will not hit me." Zakang shook his head repeatedly and ran away like a gust of wind.

Danjia waited for another ten minutes.

When he saw Zhakang coming back, he followed a tall and thin monk in red with a wide grin.

As the monk in red walked away, he cursed and scolded Zha Kang: "I think you just think that I am too good-hearted and easy to bully.

So the price harasses me like this all day long,

If you dare to make any noise on my bedside tomorrow, I will spank your ass! "

"Disciple, I don't dare anymore." Zhakang smiled. He had heard threatening words like 'Master Guangyuan' more than a hundred times.

But the other party has never actually practiced it once.

Master Guangyuan walked to the door of the Sutra Library.

Danga bowed his head and saluted him,

He responded coldly,

He turned around and took the key to open the door of the scripture library. He asked without looking back, "What scriptures do you want to borrow?"

"The Vajra Crown Sutra"

"The True Sutra of Kalachakra"

"The True Sutra of Fu Kong Accomplishment". "Danga replied subconsciously.

Master Guangyuan opened the door of the Sutra Library.

Hearing Danga's response,

He turned to look at her and asked with a smile: "I remember that this practice has two main topics: 'No thoughts, no thoughts, everything returns to emptiness' and 'Silent body secrets, immovable womb treasure'.

After studying the Diamond Crown Sutra and the Kalachakra Sutra, I found the right path.

But I don't understand,

Why should we practice the Sutra? "

Danga blinked.

Su Wu had already begun to teach the practice of alchemy mantras.

He also taught her to master several secret spells.

However, Master Guangyuan's question was still too difficult for Danga and she could not answer it.

When Master Guangyuan asked questions, he did not ask the right master.

If Su Wu was in person, he should be able to clear up his confusion.

He asked the question,

Look at the expression on Danga’s face,

He immediately reacted, shook his head and said with a smile: "But before my brain could react, I regarded you as your Buddhist son.

Come with me. "

As he spoke, he stepped into the scripture library.

Carrying a short ladder next to the door on his shoulders, he shuttled between the rows of bookshelves two or three people high on the first floor, leaning the short ladder against a certain row of bookshelves.

Get the Diamond Crown Sutra for Danjia.

"Your Buddha is very smart,

I asked you to come earlier to pick up the books. If you arrive later, you may not be able to borrow these scriptures. "Master Guangyuan climbed down the ladder and pointed to some scrolls covered by red silk cloth in the same row as the Diamond Crown Sutra.

He said: "The Buddhist candidates in our temple have already chosen this scripture.

There are not many "Vajra Crown Sutra" left by Buddhist disciples from other monasteries. "

Danga looked up at the row of bookshelves.

Sure enough, I saw that on that row of bookshelves, most of the "Vajra Crown Sutra" were covered with red silk cloth - these were books ordered by Buddhist disciples who were waiting for selection in the Snowy Mountains.

There are only five or six Vajra Sutras left that are not covered by silk cloth.

If you don't come earlier,

This scripture will be borrowed first.

When Danjia saw this, he felt that this might be a way for Daxueshan Temple to screen Buddhist disciples.

Fortunately, my venerable master has always thought very carefully.

Subsequently,

Master Guangyuan took Danga to the second floor again.

Lend the "Kalachakra Sutra" and "Avatar Sutra" to Danga one by one.

Among them, the remaining situation of the Kalachakra Sutra is similar to that of the Diamond Crown Sutra, with only a few volumes left.

On the other hand, there are still many "Fukushengshengzhen Sutra" left, and no one chooses.

"I still can't figure it out, why do I need to practice this sutra?" When Master Guangyuan handed the "Fu Kong Sutra" to Danjia, he looked troubled and puzzled.

It seems that this matter caused him a lot of trouble,

If this problem cannot be solved,

It's like he can't sleep.

Danjia herself didn’t understand any of this, and couldn’t explain anything to Master Guangyuan. She wrapped the three sutras in sheepskin, put them in her arms, and asked Guangyuan, who was reading the Sutra of Amitabha Sutra. Say goodbye and leave.

When leaving the Sutra Library,

I happened to see the seven or eight strong servants gathered at the door.

"Let's go quickly!" Zhakang held the broom handle in one hand and pointed at the strong servants who rushed into the scripture library with the other hand, reminding Danjia.

Danga nodded,

He ran away holding the classics in small steps.

The strong servants who got into the scripture building left the watchtower soon after.

Some people rejoice,

Someone cursed.

There was even a strong servant who walked out of the scripture building with empty hands. When he saw the person next to him holding two scriptures, he wanted to snatch them on the spot.

——The Buddhist disciples behind them all asked them to borrow the same scriptures.

Not only can he become a disciple of the Buddha in various Dharma temples,

In order to be selected by the monks, he entered the Snow Mountain to practice.

The understanding of these people is naturally quite good.

It is also reasonable to be able to think of the ‘tool books’ needed to solve the problem.

Therefore, the classics that all the strong servants came to borrow were the Diamond Crown Sutra and the Kalachakra Sutra. Only Su Wu asked for one more than them, the Buddha's Sutra.

Seeing that the servants were about to stage a fight over the scriptures at the entrance of the scripture building, Master Guangyuan walked out of the scripture building.

He scolded them a few words,

The servants left in despair.

Two strong servants who had not borrowed the scriptures hid behind a low mountain to discuss countermeasures after leaving the Jinglun Courtyard.

One person said: "Everyone else took the scriptures and went back. If we return empty-handed like this, we will definitely be beaten to death by the Buddha!"

Another person also sighed: "I see that there are many identical books covered with red silk in the scripture library, but the master refuses to lend them out.

What can be done about this? "

The two of them were filled with regret,

I deeply regret that I didn’t queue up first before.

So much so that someone else got there first, and I was left last, without even borrowing a page of the book.

They poured out their bitterness to each other,

Sudden,

One of them reacted: "I remember, before us, there was a little boy servant who was always guarding the Sutra Library.

Waiting to get books for his Buddhist disciples? "

"Yes, that's what happened!"

"Let's go! Let's go find him!

If you find him, he happens to have the scriptures that our respective Buddhist disciples need, and you and I can just grab them, one for each of us!

Find a scroll and take it back,

The punishment we receive can also be much lighter! "

"Yeah!

We can't rob those strong servants,

But this man is just a child and can cook casually. Are you afraid that you won't be able to grab the book from his hand? !

Walk! Go to him! "

The two strong servants made up their mind in a few words, and followed the small footprints on the shallow snow outside Jinglun Courtyard.

Hard work pays off,

Sure enough, they met Danga on a rugged mountain road.

Danjia has already sent the scriptures to Su Wu.

She was carrying a food box and was about to go to the dining hall along this road to serve Su Wu a meal.

It happened that I met two strong servants here.
