Beautiful mayor's wife

The old monk sat quietly on the spot without opening his eyes or speaking.

"Master Abbot, Master Abbot!" Ma Xiaoyao yelled twice, but the old monk still didn't respond.

"Master Abbot!!!"

Ma Xiaoyao raised his volume and shouted loudly: "Master Abbot, wake up!"

This time the old monk reacted, his eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang with a surprised expression: "Who are you? Why are you here?" The old monk said His voice was slow and powerful, sounding a little old.

"Master Abbot, hello!" Ma Xiaoyao greeted hurriedly, "My name is Ma Xiaoyao, and his name is Lei Dazhuang. We are both government officials. We have taken the liberty to visit this time because we have something important to ask Master Abbot for help."

"I asked two questions, but you only answered one." The old monk said flatly, "How did you get in?"

"This..." Ma Xiaoyao looked a little embarrassed: "We sneaked in..."

"Sneaking in?" The old monk was stunned.

Ma Xiaoyao rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, we don't want to do this either...but the disciples of your monastery don't let us in, in order to see you, Master Abbot...that's why we sneaked in..."

The old monk looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a strange look: "You keep calling me Abbot, how do you know I am Abbot?"

"Eh?" Ma Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment: "What? Don't tell me...you are not the abbot?"

The old monk shook his head: "No, I'm not the abbot."

Oops!got the wrong person!Ma Xiaoyao's face suddenly changed.

Lei Dazhuang also frowned.

"I was in retreat just now to study Buddhist scriptures, and I was interrupted by you at a critical moment." The old monk said slowly: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will not let you go." The old monk If you say turn your back on it, turn your back on it. Just now, you were kind and smiling, but in a blink of an eye, it became cold.

"Uh... well, I'm sorry...we didn't mean to offend you...we apologize to you..." Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly.

"Just apologizing, can I make up for my loss?" The old monk said indifferently: "Let me tell you, I have retreated for six months, and I have a little bit of insight. Interrupted, let me work hard for half a year."

"I just can't figure it out. Is it really so important to understand the Buddhist scriptures?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Don't you understand that life is limited, and besides, you are so old that you don't have much life left. You should enjoy life more, you shouldn’t stay in this cave to study Buddhist scriptures, and retreat for half a year at once... Do you know what you are doing? You are wasting your life!”

Two bright lights flashed in the eyes of the old monk: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Why don't you understand?" Ma Xiaoyao said with staring eyes, "Looking at you, you are seven or eighty years old, right? How many years are left to live? If I were you, I would leave here, walk around and see more. Look, enjoy life as much as you can, and don't leave too many regrets in your life."

"You..." The old monk was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ma Xiaoyao.

"Shut up! I haven't finished yet!" Ma Xiaoyao's bear temper came up, and he didn't give anyone face. He pointed to the old monk's nose and said: "You monks, open your mouth and shut up the Buddhist scriptures. It seems that they understand the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures very well, but in fact they only have a half-knowledge, and they don’t understand the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures at all.”

"Shh!"

The old monk's face suddenly sank: "Listen to what you mean... You seem to understand the meaning of Buddhist scriptures?"

"I also know only a little, but I know more than you." Ma Xiaoyao snorted.

"Hehe..." The old monk was amused: "It's been so many years, it's the first time someone said that they know more about Buddhist scriptures than me..." Speaking of this, a stern light flashed in the eyes of the old monk: "Tell me about your understanding of Buddhist scriptures." Please understand, let me see how powerful you are."

"Just say it, who is afraid of whom." Ma Xiaoyao puffed up his chest: "I tell you..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak when he heard a rush of footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw that A middle-aged monk was galloping towards him, and he arrived in the stone room in an instant.

The middle-aged monk gave Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang a hard look, and then bowed respectfully to the old monk: "The disciple sees the master, because of the negligence of the disciple, outsiders sneaked in and disturbed the master's intensive cultivation. The disciple really deserves it." Doom..."

The old monk waved his hand: "Wuxiang, you came just in time. The little brother in front of me is going to explain the meaning of some Buddhist scriptures to me. You might as well listen to it."

"What?" The middle-aged monk was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "He wants to explain the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures to his uncle? This... His tone is so loud..."

"Perhaps he really has a special understanding of the Buddhist scriptures?" The old monk said indifferently: "Stand aside and listen to it. Whether it is outspoken or really capable, we will know later."

"Yes." The middle-aged monk nodded, then stepped aside, looked at Ma Xiaoyao quietly, and waited for Ma Xiaoyao to explain the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures.

"Okay, we can start." The old monk waved to Ma Xiaoyao.

Ma Xiaoyao coughed, and then pretended to say: "Since you want to hear it, I will just say a few words, ahem... The content of Buddhist scriptures is very profound and extensive, and it is difficult to comprehend them all. To put it bluntly, the main purpose of the Buddhist scriptures is to be kind to people, to teach people to be a good person with conscience and morality, and not to do bad things, otherwise they will be punished. What Buddhism advocates is the cycle of cause and effect. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. Good causes breed good Fruit, bad cause sows bad fruit, good people are rewarded with good rewards, bad people are rewarded with evil, it’s not that the time has not yet come!”

"How can we be a good person? The Buddhist scriptures tell us that as long as we eliminate the 'desire' in our hearts, we can be a good person. Why do people go astray? Why do they do bad things? It is because of the 'desire' in our hearts Desire is actually a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can become self-motivated. If you don’t use it well, you will go astray and become a bad person who does all kinds of evil.”

"Everyone has desires in their hearts. The difference between a good person and a bad person is whether they can control their desires. If they can't control them, they will gradually lose their minds and eventually become a demon. So, control your desires." 'Desire is very important... Next, I will focus on how to effectively control 'desire'..."

"Controlling desire requires something. Everyone has this kind of thing. The phrase is 'willpower'. Only with strong willpower can we better control desire. The key question is how do we How about strengthening your willpower?"

"Some people deliberately live in seclusion, deliberately avoid the colorful world outside, and control their desires with an evasive heart. This method is the lowest and most undesirable. Once tempted, they will become crazy Incomparable, so, I think... people should let go of their hearts, try to face the colorful world outside, play when they want to play, have fun when they want to, and have sex with women when they want to... use all the seductive things in the world... Try all the things, so that your ability to resist will gradually become stronger. One day, you get tired of playing, tired of the colorful world outside, and want to live a relaxed and ordinary life. At that time, your will The strength will become unprecedentedly strong, no matter what temptation you face, you will never lose yourself."

"There is a saying that I like very much. This sentence is: wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart! The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Don't deliberately restrain your behavior, eat whatever you want, and drink whatever you want What, as long as you stay awake all the time, only people with this kind of mentality can develop a strong willpower! Only then can they resist any temptation!"

"To sum up: don't deliberately avoid, let alone deliberately alienate, you should take the initiative to face and experience. Only by truly experiencing can you achieve the best expected results! Only then can you better hone yourself and let yourself become stronger."

"This is my understanding of the Buddhist scriptures. Of course, this is just my personal understanding. If you disagree, then I have nothing to say. The Buddhist scriptures are profound and unpredictable. Everyone will have a different understanding. I just put My own understanding has been stated, as for whether you accept it or not, then I have no control over it."

……

Ma Xiaoyao talked for a long time in one breath. After finishing speaking, his mouth felt dry, but unfortunately there was no water here, so he had to endure it.

Lei Dazhuang looked at Ma Xiaoyao with incomparable admiration. He didn't expect Ma Xiaoyao to have such a deep study of Buddhist scriptures. It's amazing, it's amazing!He is indeed my idol!

The old monk and the middle-aged monk were stunned, and there was a hint of understanding in the eyes of both of them...

"Cough cough cough..." Ma Xiaoyao coughed a few times: "I'm done talking, don't you guys want to comment?"

"Hmm..." The old monk came to his senses first, and he looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a strange expression: "You comprehended these things yourself?"

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "That's right, I figured it out by myself. I like to think about problems, and I like to think wildly when I have nothing to do."

The old monk turned his head to look at the thoughtful middle-aged monk: "Wuxiang, what do you think?"

"What this little brother said... makes sense, and made me understand a lot." The middle-aged monk nodded and said.

"Hehe..." The old monk laughed, the laughter was deafening, the old monk stopped laughing for a long time, he looked at Ma Xiaoyao with great interest: "I really didn't expect that you would have so many strange ideas, Not bad, very good..."

"Thank you for the compliment, I just said it casually." Ma Xiaoyao said modestly.
