The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

"Amitabha," an old monk clasped his hands together, "Tanyue is generous and kind, and I have a relationship with my Buddha. It is said in the "Sangye Law" that a hundred thousand dans of real gold are not as good as a ball of mud. .”

"Building a pagoda can yield ten kinds of rewards."

"If you are not born in a border country, you will not be poor, you will not be born in a body of ignorance and wrong views, you will live a long life, and you will gain incomparably great merit..."

"Di Shitian, the king of Dharma protection, was born because of the merit of building the pagoda."

"When Kasyapa Buddha died, there was a woman who set out to build the pagoda, and 32 other people helped her to build the pagoda. With this merit, this woman was reborn as the King of Trayali, and all the other people who helped her to build the pagoda were also reborn as heavenly kings and ministers. , collectively referred to as 33 days."

The people who came to participate in the Dharma meeting today are all one of the people who helped the empress to build the pagoda. They donated money to build the pagoda, and they got retribution, and they paid the money willingly.

This speech is to pave the way for fundraising.

Empress Lin asked again: "The "Pan Ni Huan Sutra" says that there are many ways in the world, among which the king's law is the greatest, and the Buddha way should be the supreme way. What's the explanation for this statement?"

The old monk closed his eyes and sat in meditation: "In a town of hundreds of families, if ten people observe the five precepts, ten people will enjoy honesty and sincerity. In a town of thousands of houses, if a hundred people practice the ten virtues, then a hundred people will live in harmony."

"Pass down this style of teaching, in Zhouhuan District, if there are one thousand registered households, there will be millions of benevolent people."

"If you can cultivate one good thing, you will get rid of one evil thing."

"If one evil is gone, one punishment will be rested."

"If one punishment is suspended, ten thousand punishments will be suspended in the country."

"He who sits shall enjoy peace."

"Buddha and the law, the Buddha is for enlightenment, the law is for restraint, teaching and restraint, the two complement each other to present a prosperous age and prove all history. The more Buddhism is promoted, the more prosperous the country will be. On the contrary, the country is prosperous and strong, the political law is clear, and Buddhism can more prosperous."

"Promoting good dharmas, purifying people's minds, and improving morale are the giving of dharma, which can reap rewards."

It is stated that Buddhism is closely related to governing the country and rejuvenating the country. The empress advocated the construction of pagodas in order to promote the good law. It is to add religious and moral norms to the order of national laws, which is of great significance to the rejuvenation of the country.

From this point of view, the eldest princess fights the disaster and cures the epidemic to save people for a while, and the queen empress builds a pagoda and encourages thousands of households to do good, and there are millions of benevolent people.

Its far-reaching significance is far more important than the merits of the eldest princess in relieving disasters and curing epidemics.

Everyone's eyes flickered, the empress didn't say anything, as if she had said everything, borrowed the mouth of the monks, and told the influence of building the pagoda, which made the eldest princess down, but her thoughts would fade away later However, the Empress Empress's reputation of virtue and kindness will overshadow the eldest princess's reputation of virtuousness.

I don't know how the eldest princess will respond?

Jiang Fuguang bent her lips, and couldn't reach her eyes with a smile. She stood up and walked forward, clasped her hands together and performed a monk's salute.

The old monk opened his eyes, fixedly stared at Jiang Fuguang for a long time, and said: "The benefactor has great virtue and greatness, and I have a predestined relationship with my Buddha."

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "The Buddha said that giving is impure, why do you explain it?"

The old monk's eyelids twitched, and he said just now that the empress's promotion of good dharma is "dharma giving", which has great merits, so the eldest princess spoke about giving.

But he had no choice but to reply: "The Buddha told Viyasa that although some people have done good deeds, they have an impure mentality of utilitarianism, which is not considered true charity."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field tried their best to endure, but the change in their faces was wonderful.

Empress Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, looked calm, but her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched a little bit.

Jiang Fuguang smiled and continued to ask: "The Buddha said that there are 33 kinds of impure alms. What is the explanation for this?"

The old monk looked at her intently, and kept his eyes open when talking with her.

"It's charity for fame and fortune."

"We must first give charcoal in the snow, donate to the poor, look at what you see and don't look at it, and only do things that are icing on the cake."

"To practice charity with sincerity is to abandon arrogance, not out of true compassion, pity and sympathy.

"..."

"This kind of charity is not considered real charity, and there will be no reward."

The old monk slowly closed his eyes: "Everyone who gives alms has something to live in and has some attachments, no matter if he lives in any of the six dusts of form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma, there is only merit and no merit. .”

Jiang Fuguang changed the subject and asked again, "As the master said, the merits of building a pagoda are more than ten kinds of retribution, so how much should one give to get the retribution?"

"That's not the case. There is no weight or size in giving."

"A man ran to Sakyamuni and cried, no matter what I do, I can't succeed. Why?"

"Because you haven't learned to give to others."

"But I'm a pauper with nothing!"

"Even if a person has no money, he can still give others seven things: kindness, good words, sincerity, good eyes, helping others, humility, and convenience."

Jiang Fuguang chuckled lightly: "Thank you Master for clarifying my doubts."

After speaking, she took 2000 taels of silver notes from her sleeve and put them in the merit plate.

Empress Lin couldn't hold back her expression at all.

Originally, it was based on the majesty behind a country, and in the name of praying for His Majesty, everyone should donate generously.

In this way, the money for building the tower was almost raised.

But whose money is not flooded, who is really willing to donate a lot of money like this?

To put it nicely, you can get retribution and merit.

It's actually not doing you any good.

Now with the words of the old monk, the family members of each government have less scruples, and they must donate less if they can donate less. The eldest princess took the lead in donating 2000 taels.

The money spent on building the pagoda is huge, and there is not enough money to raise today. Not only does she lose face as a queen, but she has to pay for the money needed to build the pagoda herself.

Jiang Fuguang returned to his seat, originally he didn't intend to get too involved in building the pagoda.

But the tree wants to be still and the wind does not stop.

In desperation, Empress Lin called Jing Yu to come forward, took a square box from Jing Yu's hand, opened the box in public, and there was a stack of bank notes inside.

Holding the box herself, she slowed down and placed the box on the merit plate.

Ye Mingwan followed closely and donated a lot of money.

Everyone's eyes flashed lightly, those who were willing to donate more, naturally had to imitate the generosity of the Empress Empress, those who didn't want to donate more, they could donate as they wished, and those who were a little bit tighter didn't have to slap fat people with swollen faces.

Anyway, donations are neither important nor big, and the eldest princess only donated 2000 taels.

After listening to the Zen lecture, the female relatives of various families donated money one after another.

At the end of the day, Prince An's Mansion prepared a chrysanthemum banquet, which was not only full of color and fragrance, but also showed the characteristics of late autumn. The feast was a feast for the guests and host.

The Dharma Conference was completed as scheduled, but it did not achieve the result that Queen Lin wanted.

Afterwards, Ye Mingwan counted the money raised for the donation, and the amount was much lower than expected, and it was far from enough to build the tower. The rest of the money had to be paid by Zhonggong and Prince An's Mansion, so she was inevitably a little disappointed.

……

On the way back, Jiang Fuguang was a little hungry, and happened to pass by a food stall, and smelled an indescribably strong aroma.

Pay tribute to the heroes and victims who died in the flood. They will not regret going to China in this life, and they will be Chinese in the next life.Well, friends, remember to vote for the monthly ticket, and try to climb the list of monthly tickets this month~
