Chapter 98 Master Liansheng, You Are the Buddha I Want to Practice The sun is shining brightly, and golden light is pouring down. The ancient Weilian Temple beside the Arakawa River, bathed in golden light, appears even more sacred and inviolable. When Pinggong Qianye came to the temple from home, the monk Ruyi had already arrived and had completed tasks such as sweeping the courtyard, organizing scriptures, and repairing the hall. He does his own work... Pinggong Qianye really had the illusion that Ruyi had already become a part of Weilian Ancient Temple. Seeing that he was enjoying it and taking it as a form of practice, Pinggong Qianye didn't have the heart to interrupt him. When they arrived at the main hall, they burned incense and paid homage to Mahavairocana, and Pinggong Qianye took out a Buddhist scripture. The Heart Sutra is also known as the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra. If you want to solve the strange legend in school that the last place in the exam will result in death, you have to start with the Heart Sutra. Worry gives rise to evil. Ultimately, young students' mentality, spirit, and soul are easily influenced by the outside world, thus accumulating heavy negative emotions that cannot be dispersed or resolved.
The Heart Sutra is an extremely effective way to eliminate negative emotions. It is obviously very difficult to get all students to recite the Heart Sutra voluntarily. But if we just let them listen to the Heart Sutra, things would be much simpler. Moreover, listening to the Heart Sutra also brings great benefits to them. Listening to the Heart Sutra often can help you achieve concentration, stop wandering thoughts, eliminate worries, and return your restless mind to a quiet place. It can purify the body and mind and eliminate karma. It can open your mind and enlighten your thoughts, and help you see your true nature. You can be filled with joy of the Dharma and have eloquence without hindrance. …… The benefits are too numerous to count. If the Heart Sutra is recited by an eminent monk or a great person, it can bring even greater benefits. In this regard, Pinggong Qianye felt that he was still capable of doing the job. He recited the Heart Sutra with great magical powers to dispel the pent-up negative emotions in the students and help them get through the final hurdle of the final exam ranking. When Ruyi came to the main hall from the side hall, Pinggong Qianye had already put on his robes and was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a wooden fish in front of him and Buddhist beads in his hands. Such a serious look made Ruyi stunned. In his eyes, although Master Liansheng's Buddhist teachings were boundless and his power was unfathomable, he always dressed like a high school student and rarely dressed so formally. When solving the problem of the Golden Light Sect's deity that night, Master Liansheng simply brought a staff. "Master Liansheng, what are you going to do?" "Come on, come closer."
Pinggong Qianye beckoned Ruyi to come closer, then unlocked his phone and handed it to him, "Help me record an audio clip." In fact, you can also record by placing it on a table nearby, but the recording effect is not that good. "Master Liansheng wants to recite Buddhist scriptures?" Ruyi's face showed an expression of joy and excitement. Being able to listen to Master Liansheng chanting Buddhist scriptures up close was definitely a rare spiritual baptism. "There are some things to take care of. Remember, only audio is needed, no video is needed." Pinggong Qianye reminded him again, and when Ruyi was about to start recording, he lowered his head slightly and chanted a Buddhist name. Turning the Buddhist beads with one hand and striking the wooden fish with the other. "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, he saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and he survived all the hardships." "Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and consciousness." "Relics, all dharmas are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing..." Great magical power flows in the body, and the sound of chanting seems to come from the top of a snowy mountain and sink into a quiet pool of water. Every word and every sentence gives people a kind of wonderful enjoyment. After Pinggong Qianye finished reciting the Heart Sutra, Ruyi, who was standing nearby recording the audio, was still immersed in the sound of the chanting. It was not until Pinggong Qianye reminded him that he gradually came to his senses and quickly pressed the stop recording button to end the recording of "Heart Sutra". Ruyi handed the phone with the recorded audio to Pinggong Qianye, and said with a complicated expression: "It is really a great fortune for me to be able to listen to Master Liansheng reciting the Heart Sutra." "Everything in this world is a matter of chance. You don't need to focus all your attention on me." Ruyi hurriedly explained: "This is different. Master Liansheng is like a living Buddha. Whether it is observing his actions or listening to his words, it is a rare practice." "I am not as great and transcendent as you think, and I am certainly not comparable to the Buddha." “But in my eyes, Master Liansheng, you are the Buddha I want to practice.” Ruyi said this very seriously. "..." Pinggong Qianye did not continue discussing this topic with Ruyi. If he continued, Ruyi would probably say something shocking again. Open the audio file on your phone and play the Heart Sutra several times to confirm the recording effect. After feeling that there was no problem, Pinggong Qianye put away his phone. Seeing that Ruyi had helped a lot today, he still had some free time and didn't mind giving Ruyi some guidance on his practice. Heimiya Chiye didn't know much about Kichijoji, he only knew that they originated from the Caodong sect. As for the practice of Caodong Sect, Pinggong Qianye had some knowledge. In the view of Caodong sect practitioners, there is a relationship of "interaction" and "non-interaction" between all things. The so-called "interaction" means that all things are mutually integrated and interlinked. Although the boundaries of all things are clear, there is this in that and the other in this, and they are involved in each other and no longer distinguished from each other. "No reciprocity" means that all things have their own position and stay in their original place without confusion.
Therefore, the so-called "interaction" and "non-interaction" means to look at problems from the perspective of the universal connection, development and change of things. This is a kind of philosophical speculation, and a brilliant confirmation of naive dialectics. Simply put, if you want to practice, you must handle the relationship between "mutual return" and "non-mutual return" well. Pinggong Qianye had never practiced the Caodong Sect's methods, so he could only draw inferences from his own practice and explain the key points to Ruyi in his own unique way. Perhaps what Pinggong Qianye said was too profound, or perhaps Ruyi's learning and comprehension ability was just average. Pinggong Qianye finished his lecture and went out for a walk. When he came back, Ruyi was still sitting in the original position in the hall, motionless, with a dazed look on his face. On this day, Ruyi did not leave Weilian Ancient Temple until 7 o'clock in the evening. …… On July 7, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. Today is the day when the school announces the test results, and it is also the day when this semester ends and the summer vacation begins. With no distractions, Chiye Hiramiya arrived at school before 8 o'clock. Instead of going to the classroom first, he came to the meeting room of the Psychic Society. Horii Suzune and Suzuka were already waiting here, and when they saw him coming, Suzuka showed unconcealed joy on her face. After sitting down, Suzuka Haruhi began to talk about what happened that night, even though she herself fell asleep and woke up in a daze and didn't know much about the details. Pinggong Chiye still confirmed his guess from her narration. Fear breeds evil, and this is the problem faced by her and all the students in the school. "Are you all ready?" Hiramiya Chiye looked at Horii Suzune. "The school was very understanding. After understanding our demands, they gave us the broadcasting room to use." When Horii Suzune said this, she deliberately glanced at Hiramiya Chiye who was sitting opposite her. The school did allow them to use the radio studio, but it didn't have much to do with her. Even though she found the school principal's contact number through her grandfather. But after all, today is the last day of this semester, and it is the last chance for school leaders to give a speech on stage in the auditorium. How can we easily allow students to do whatever they want? But the principal still agreed. This was not to give face to her grandfather, but because she agreed immediately after hearing the name of Master Liansheng, and she actively cooperated in all aspects. This means that Master Rensheng has a different weight in the principal's heart. Perhaps someone higher up gave the principal some kind of greeting. But it was a good thing after all, so she didn't dig any deeper. "Hiramiya-san, how are your preparations going?" “When speaking in a large lecture hall, that should be the best opportunity.”
Hiramiya Chiye took out his cell phone and sent the audio clip recorded by Ruyi to Horii Suzune. Only audio. Horii Suzune felt it was a pity, but when she thought of the video of Master Liansheng chanting in front of her on her phone, she felt happy again. Suzuka Haruhi, who was sitting nearby, couldn't quite understand their conversation and could only look at this and that. When Pinggong Qianye left the meeting room of the Supernatural Society and went to the classroom, the transcripts for the final exam had already been posted and the student who ranked last in the exam had been determined. It wasn't Suzuka Haruhi who was always worried and scared, but the other boy from Class 3 who missed the exam. He also missed two exams, and his test scores were usually below average, so he defeated the second-to-last place, Suzuka Haruhi, and won the cursed crown for the last place. Pinggong Qianye even went to the door of Class 3 and took a few looks through the glass. He originally wanted to observe it from a closer distance, but there were too many people gathered here. Almost every student has heard of the campus legend that the last place in the exam will result in death. They all couldn't wait to come and see the student who ranked last in the exam. Some came out of concern and mourning, some out of curiosity, and some just to watch the fun... Songshan, who was sitting at the fourth table in the third row of the classroom, leaned over the table with his hands stretched forward, holding the edge of the table, with an expression of complete despair on his face. The negative emotions that came from deep within my heart were already full and were about to overflow. Fortunately, it is still daytime. Once night falls, a ghost will instantly emerge from Matsuyama's body and take his life. Pinggong Chiye stood outside the window for a while, then passed by Lianghua's classroom and glanced at it. At this moment, she was surrounded by a circle of girls, receiving comfort and feeding. She was the second to last in this final exam, and she had escaped the curse of death if she ranked last in the exam. His mood is also much brighter than before. Although he is still shrouded in some negative emotions, it is not to the extent that can give birth to ghosts. After learning all this, Pinggong Qianye returned to his classroom and waited to go to the lecture hall. The task of playing the Heart Sutra for all the teachers and students in the school was undertaken by Horii Suzune and other members of the spiritual club. Because he ranked first in the final exam, he had to go on stage to receive his scholarship and might also be arranged to give a speech. As for the content of the speech, a passage from the Heart Sutra is enough. (End of this chapter)
