Chapter 5997
On the way to Qixia Temple,
Nanako took advantage of several stops at red lights to carefully check the background of Master Jingqing.
After this investigation, it turned out that Master Jingqing was not only famous in China,
But his influence even began to affect Buddhist believers in East and Southeast Asia.
Everyone’s evaluation of Master Jingqing is that he has great talent and great kindness,
He has a mind for the world and is open to all rivers.
He is an unparalleled genius in the field of Buddhism.
What surprised her even more was that many temples in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Bhutan, and other countries had sent devout invitations to Master Jingqing,
Hoping that Master Jingqing could go to preach Buddhism to believers in the country.
All the lectures given in 2017 are in China, so there is no response yet.
In addition, Nanako also saw the evaluation of Master Jingqing by many well-known Buddhist masters at home and abroad.
Without exception, everyone felt that Master Jingqing’s understanding of Buddhism was the most profound in today’s society.
His preaching of many scriptures even made many old masters who had studied all their lives feel enlightened.
The more she learned about Master Jingqing’s background, the more pleasantly surprised Nanako was.
She didn’t expect that she would have such an opportunity on this ordinary morning.
However, what she cared about was not how proficient Master Jingqing was in Buddhism.
What she cared about was that she wanted to get an amulet for Charlie that he had blessed.
When she drove to Qixia Temple, many early-rising pilgrims had already begun to go up the mountain to offer incense.
However, these pilgrims did not know that the famous Master Jingqing was already here.
Nanako bypassed the main hall and went straight to the legal logistics department,
And found that it was not open yet.
The notice at the door shows that the opening hours of the Logistics Circulation Department are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
She couldn’t help but be a little confused, thinking to herself:
“The lady told me to come here, but it’s not open yet, could it be a prank?”
Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head: “It’s a sin,”
“I shouldn’t make unreasonable speculations and doubt the goodwill of others?”
“Maybe there is some deviation in timing?”
Just when she was wondering, one of the wooden doors of the Dharma Circulation Department opened,
And a monk came out, clasped his hands, and said:
“Amitabha, may I ask this question? What do you have to do with the benefactor?”
Nanako hurriedly bowed deeply, and then said: “Hello, Master,”
“I’m sorry to disturb you, but I would like to ask, are you registering here to meet Master Jingqing?”
The monk was stunned and then looked around. He looked down and saw that there was no one else,
And then whispered: “Sorry, sorry, Master Jingqing just arrived at the temple this morning.”
“The temple has not yet made preparations for the open lectures,”
“So it cannot be disclosed to the outside world for the time being.”
“Since the devotee is destined to know, please come with me.”
After listening to the first half of the monk’s words, Nanako thought that the other party had declined her.
After hearing the rest, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together gratefully, and said,
“Thank you, Master!”
The monk nodded. He asked her again: “Has the devotee prepared any dharma objects?”
“If Master Jingqing needs consecration and blessing, the dharma objects need to be prepared in advance.”
Nanako said hurriedly: “I came in a hurry, so I didn’t bring the dharma objects with me.”
“I wonder if I can get one from here?”
The monk smiled and said: “devotee, most of the amulets in our temple are the “Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra” in brocade bags,”
“But they are all printed products customized from the factory.”
“If the devotee wants better effects, you can Handwrite a copy of the “Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra” and put it in it, and then ask Master Jingqing to consecrate it for you.”
After that, he reminded me: “The full text of “Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra” only has 260 characters, so it is not difficult to write.”
Nanako asked hurriedly: “Excuse me, can you lend me a pen and paper?”
“In addition, I wonder if Master Jingqing can wait for me for a while until I finish writing before going to see him?”
The monk smiled and said: “The poor monk can lend the devotee paper and pen, and the devotee can take it directly to see Master Jingqing and show it in front of him.”
“When you copy the sutra, he will recite sutras, bless you, and consecrate you at the same time, so the effect is the best.”
Nanako said excitedly: “Thank you so much!”
After that, she bowed deeply again.
The monk said “Amitabha Buddha”, then turned around and entered the dharma circulation area.
After a while, he took a yellow brocade bag, as well as paper, pen, and ink, and then walked out of the door of the dharma circulation area.
He turned around carefully and closed the door. Then took Nanako to the backyard of the temple.
Then, he said to Nanako: “devotee, please come with me.”
Nanako nodded quickly and followed him to the back of the temple.
Passing through a mottled red brick wall is the backyard of the temple, which is rarely open to the public.
Except for the monks in the temple, only lay people with a deep relationship with the temple are allowed to enter.
Here, there is a Buddhist hall dedicated to teaching the Dharma to lay people.
Some lay people who are pious enough and talented enough lead the practice here.
They will go to the mountains to study the Dharma regularly.
When the Buddhist fate is met, they will officially become ordained and become monks.
At this time, Master Jingqing was sitting in front of the lecture platform in the Buddhist hall, closing his eyes and chanting sutras.
The young monk opened the door of the Buddhist hall and said respectfully:
“Master Jingqing, there is a devotee who wants to see you.”
Master Jingqing opened his eyes, nodded, and said: “Bring her in!”
The young monk nodded respectfully: “Disciple obeys!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving the doorway, and said to Nanako:
“Devotee, Master Jingqing invites you.”
Nanako once again clasped her hands to thank and then stepped into the hall with excitement and apprehension.
When he saw Nanako for the first time, Master Jingqing couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
“This girl is really as madam said, she has the wisdom to enlighten the Tao.”
“She is even better than I was back then. Some people are like this. From the looks of it, you can tell that you have a genius!”
He felt that he had wisdom roots, and they are a kind of enlightened people with unique intuition about similar juniors.
Just like in martial arts novels, when a top master sees a child with top talent, he can tell at a glance that the child has excellent bones,
But in the eyes of others who don’t understand, he only thinks it is ordinary.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stood up and said to Nanako:
“Amitabha, the devotee came to see the poor monk. I wonder what brings you here?”
Nanako bowed deeply and said respectfully: “Disciple Nanako Ito, from Kyoto, Japan when my mother was alive. She believed deeply in Buddhism.”
“This disciple is influenced by her and is also a Buddhist believer.”
“Today I accidentally heard that Master Jingqing came to this city, so I took the liberty to ask for a visit.”
“I want to ask the master to consecrate and bless an amulet for this disciple. I want to give it to my beloved.”
“The beloved…” Master Jingqing suddenly felt embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said:
“The devotee has all things in her eyes and a glow in her body. This is what the poor monk has seen in his life.”
“I am a person with a deep connection with Buddhism. If the devotee converts to Buddhism, It will be a blessing for all sentient beings to devote themselves to the study of Buddhism.”
“I wonder if the devotee has the idea of converting to Buddhism?”
