Chapter 458
Chapter 458 Eight Colds Pain
Li Dandao left Qingniu Temple and went to the Shifang Pure Land Temple.
Sure enough, many people were dressed in rags, but they had already bowed here and did not go to the temple.
One bow and one sentence: "Namo Amitabha!"
This is a poor area.
There is also a Zhongren area where there is a wooden bucket with beans inside. Those who kowtowed once, recited the Buddha's name, and then put a bean, a grain of rice, and a grain of millet inside.
Waiting for the bucket of rice to be filled, a monk took out a cloth bag and poured the rice into it.
This is a gift of one meter and one grain, and it all has incredible great merit.
Li Dandao bypassed the Zhongren District and saw the rich district. Their housekeeper and servant directed to engrave a stone tablet: "How much does it cost to give merit in a certain year or a certain month."
There is also a fragrant tower, which is filled with smoke. It burns ten cents of incense every time.
Li Dandao came here deliberately in his usual clothes, not in a Taoist robe, and used the method of "hiding the figure and hiding the shadow" to reduce his sense of existence.
The Buddha sang buzzing, but it did not give people a sense of peace, but instead brought a feeling of upsetting people.
Fortunately, there was a golden lotus heart lamp in Li Dandao's heart, absorbing everything.
...
"Ten thousand." The monk quoted the price neatly.
Li Dandao looked around and found that it was an old woman who had lost her new grandson and drowned in the pond. He dreamed that the child said that the water was cold and had no clothes to wear, and was bullied by a ghost, so he came to ask for help.
Therefore, I came to the temple to ask the monk to do a ritual.
Therefore, the monk offered a price.
"this?"
The monk said: "A drowning person is not a righteous death, but a vain death. After death, he will become a water ghost to harm people. If he does not harm people, he will not be reincarnated. However, if he harms people, he will go to the ice hell and be punished."
"The monks and monks on Lingshan went down the mountain and recited the scriptures to him at the home of Zhao, the elder of Shravas, to ensure that the living and the deceased were transcendent, so that he could get three dou and three liters of rice grains and gold back."
"The sutra treasure is the supreme treasure, the priceless treasure. If the donor wants to ask for the sutra, he should not be negligent and despise it, otherwise he will be dissatisfied."
The old woman asked, "What is the place for that ice hell? What's the horror?"
"There are eight ice hells, also known as the Eight Cold Tribulation Prisons, which are the blister hells, and eight to the Great Red Lotus Hells."
"After the people in this prison were frozen, blisters appeared on their bodies. In the bones were thrust by the cold wind, the blisters ruptured and wounds formed, causing pus and blood, and were in great pain."
"Because my body was frozen and cracked, I screamed in pain. In fact, my body was deformed by the cold, and the sound made was also out of tune. It was difficult to even make a sound behind me. Only the sound of the slugs, whirring sounds were heard."
"The wound finally broke and turned into four and eight."
"It takes five hundred years to pass through this sentence before you can be reincarnated."
Li Dandao felt very uncomfortable when he listened to his intimidating missionary.
"There is another incident here. Even if your grandson is reincarnated, he still has to look at the six realms of reincarnation."
"The scriptures say that if a person dies, starts to get cold from his feet, and keeps cold until his head, and finally only the top of his head is warm and cold, and other places are cold, you can know that he has become a saint."
...
"If a person dies, starts to get cold from above, and keeps cold until his feet, and finally only the soles of his feet are left warm, and the rest of the place is cold, then he will go to hell to suffer."
"Where did your grandson drown? Where did it start to be cold? Should you be reincarnated as a hungry ghost, or go to hell? Or go to the animal realm?"
When the old woman was frightened, she was already in a dismayant face, and she felt infinite fear in her heart, and she felt boundless fear of hell.
"Where can I go after I die?"
"It depends on how much blessings and merits you have, the donor. Amitabha Buddha once made a great vow. As long as he recited his Buddha's name before his death or before his lifetime, he would be led to the Western Paradise."
...
The monk finally got the ten thousand, saying that someone would go to her house to do rituals for her grandson later.
Such things should not be unusual. Just by looking at the monk's grin, you will know that this is a success.
He is quite polite. He came to Ksitigarbha's original vows and collections of sutras.
One drowning and reciting two sentences of sutra can solve the problem of ten thousand.
Li Dandao thought about the fact that his family used to sell medicine and only earned money in a month. This ten thousand yuan would not be able to get it for a while.
Li Dandao didn't look at what was outside and went directly into the temple. The incense was rich, and there were many ghalans, arhats, vajras, venerables, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, statues were solemn, gold paintings, and painted on the walls of each hall.
Ancient pigments were not cheap, they were all gems and mineral pigments. With the painter's manual labor, this wall was at least ten taels of gold.
The incense is ten times more powerful than the Qingniu Temple.
In the hall, monks sang scriptures together, and the monks sitting in the master's seat knocked on the big wooden fish and said a word to knock.
The sound is empty and can cleanse many desires in the heart.
The Buddha's banner and the prayer wheel are as vast as a forest.
Li Dandao listened to the scriptures, and the golden lotus above the lake became brighter and brighter.
When Li Dandao passed the hall, he saw the fish pond. The pond was full of golden and red carp, all of which were dragon species, not ordinary carp.
Among them, the lotus flowers are not very blooming in May, but there are many different species such as the genus lotus, golden lotus, and other species in this pond.
Many tourists are here to watch, of course, these are all from noble families, otherwise I am afraid that I can only kowtow outside the temple to ask for merit.
Li Dandao saw a big tree with red ropes hanging on it and a sign hanging on it, which was a ginkgo tree.
There is a sign next to it: "Buddha Yin Jialan", which seals this tree as a guardian.
The sign states the origin of this tree: "The Venerable Kumarajiva planted it personally."
Li Dandao walked up to the tree and took out a talisman: "Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen you for many years? Why did you enter Buddhism? I'll ask me to find it for a while."
The talisman is the "wood killing shape talisman" used by Li Dandao to practice the Three Yin Demon Slaying Sword to refine wood evil, and specializes in killing the elves in the wood.
There are also spells recorded in Lu Ban's books.
When an old carpenter takes a tree and cuts wood, he will feel unwilling to accept it when the tree is in danger of being a disaster. He often causes trouble. If he wants to kill one or two people, he will die suddenly after cutting the tree, and he will be in a car accident.
There are various dharmas, either "migrating" the elves of cultivation in the wood, or those who are stubborn and unscrupulous, and they use talismans to curse them.
The big tree, without wind, shook off many leaves and made a "whimper" sound.
Among the trees, an old man with green face was seen with fear on his face.
It turned out that after the wood charm took off, it hurt Feng Subo half of his heart. With half of his heart, his wisdom gradually became clear, he had a mind, abandoned his old body, moved flowers and trees, and restored the primordial qi in this tree and practiced again.
He even heard of Buddhism, absorbed the power of incense and vows, and wanted to cultivate the golden body. He thought it was comfortable, but he didn't expect that he was actually coming to Li Dandao.
"Namo Amitabha, the donor has heard the scriptures for a long time, so why does it not have the virtue of being a good person? Every grass and a tree are in the gods, why should the donor harm his life?"
