Chapter 89 How to understand?
"Master, I brought you some vegetarian cakes from Longyi vegetarian restaurant, as well as some Hangzhou white tea." Zhang Fan put the package on the table and gave his regards to the old monk.
"Hehe, you haven't been here for a long time. How are your parents? What have you been up to lately? On the chair by the table, a thin old monk asked Zhang Fan with a smile.
"I'm still eating in the antique city. My parents are not bad, and the business is not bad. How is your health?" Zhang Fan also greeted as usual.
"It's okay. What's the matter with you?" The old monk asked casually.
"It's nothing. I just want to see you. By the way, please go back with some scriptures. Zhang Fan sat down in the chair on the other side of the table.
The old monk nodded, raised his turbid eyes, and looked at Zhang Fan carefully: "I remember you said last time that you wanted to convert to my Buddha and be a practitioner at home, right?"
"Yes, at that time, the master said that the time had not come for me." Zhang Fan replied, "How did the master mention this?"
The old monk smiled and said, "Do you want to know when you will convert?"
"Of course, please give me some advice." Zhang Fan quickly stood up and asked.
The old monk waved his hand and motioned him to sit down and speak. Zhang Fan's heart pounded and felt that today's old monk seemed to intend to lead him to convert, which was something he had been looking forward to for a long time. He quickly sat down and waited for advice.
"Let me ask you, do you know what to do as a layman at home?"

"I said, you black dog, this is a big bone I bought from the supermarket, and it's delicious! Look at the meat on it!" Aken carried a bag, took out a big bone from it, and swayed in front of a black dog. As long as you answer a few questions, the bones in this bag are all yours.
The black dog in front of him shakes its tail and drools. He was full of joy in his mouth, circling around Acan's feet. Looking at the flesh and bones in Aken's hand, that's urgent!
"Why don't you talk? Where was the fierceness last night? Call that to the uncle again. Akan seduced the black dog with a bone, which was found behind a garage after Akan went around more than half of the community. You can't eat it if you don't talk."
The black dog rushed up in an attempt to grab the bone from Aken's hand. He was kicked aside by Acan. There was a "woo" threat in his mouth.
"Yo, do you still want to be hard? Don't toast and don't eat punishment!" Aken put away the bone, picked up a brick from the ground, and made a gesture. The black dog was so scared that he jumped back and ran several steps far away. Roaring.
"Are you looking for me?" There was a thick voice behind Acan.

"I heard from the master, and I have also seen in the scriptures that householders need to abide by the five precepts of 'killing, stealing, **, delusion and wine'." Zhang Fan answered honestly.
"How many precepts can you keep now?" The old monk asked with a smile.
Zhang Fan lowered his head and said, "The disciple is trying to ask the teacher about this matter. In the past, the disciple could still barely abide by these five precepts. But recently, there have been some changes in the disciples. It is difficult to keep the killing disciples, and the disciples are very frightened.
The old monk nodded, but did not ask the reason, but just asked, "Have you heard the story of 'hering up your life to feed the tiger'?"
"I heard that the prince saw that the eight tigers were about to starve to death, so he fed his body to the tiger with great sadness, saved the eight tigers and sacrificed himself. With this story handed down to later generations, it is a model of great compassion in Buddhism. Zhang Fan is familiar with the Buddhist scriptures and naturally knows this allusion. After saying that, he paused and asked, "Does the master want me to learn from the prince of Sayu, sacrifice my life to feed the tiger, to restrain the murderous intention, and fulfill the killing?"
The old monk did not answer, and asked, "You know that the prince Saqi sacrificed his life to feed the tiger because of great sorrow, but if Saqi has no body, how can he save the tiger?"
"This..." Zhang Fan opened his mouth.
The old monk asked, "If Sa Yu has no body and can't save the tiger, won't he have great compassion? If he only had the body and no great sadness, would he still save the tiger?
Zhang Fan opened his eyes and his forehead was sweating.
"Let me ask you again, the Tibetan Bodhisattva vows that hell will not become a Buddha! Which is more important than the sacrifice of the prince Sa's life to feed the tiger? The old monk asked again.
"The Tibetan Bodhisattva became a Buddha and saved all sentient beings, which is naturally better than Saina!" Zhang Fan stood up and answered.
"Get down on your knees!" The old monk pointed to the futon on the ground.
Zhang Fan knelt on the futon.
"Why does the Tibetan Bodhisattva save all sentient beings in hell?"
Zhang Fan lowered his head and thought carefully and said loudly, "Tibetan Bodhisattva saves all sentient beings in hell with great sorrow!"
"Amitabha, why did you create the Western world of bliss and escape from all sentient beings?"
Zhang Fan was a little confused, but he still replied loudly: "Amitabha created the Western blis world and save all sentient beings with great wishes!"
"What about you!" The old monk suddenly asked.
"I..." Zhang Fan knotted his tongue again and didn't know how to answer. After a while, Zhang Fan bowed his head and asked weakly, "How can disciples understand?"
The old monk replied, "You have to cover it because of wisdom!" Don't you hear Prajna Paramita, there is no boat of wisdom, how to get the other side of enlightenment!" Prajna Paramita, which means: wisdom reaches the other side.)
Zhang Fan was shocked and asked, "How do you get wisdom?"
"It's wise to be determined! The mind is undetermined, how to learn, without learning the interests of scriptures, and without going deep into the scriptures, how can you be as wise as the sea!" The old monk picked up a transparent glass, got a glass of water, grabbed the floating dust on the ground and sprinkled it into the water. Shake the cup and the water is muddy. Then he pointed to the cup and said to Zhang Fan, "Look."
Zhang Fan did not dare to move a little. He knelt there and stared at the cup.
Ten minutes passed, and the water in the cup was still turbid; half an hour passed, the dust in the cup gradually precipitated and the water gradually became clear; Zhang Fan knelt for more than an hour and stared at the cup. The water in that cup has long been clear and transparent. In his heart, he said to the old monk, "Comparing the heart with water, the water is as calm as the heart, and the water is clear as the heart. You can be smart because of determination! Thank you for your guidance.
Zhang Fan then asked, "How can I make my mind settled?"
"If you can bear it, you will be determined!" The old monk replied, "You just knelt for more than an hour, but you feel backache and numb feet? But you put up with it. The same is true of this cup of water. If you can't help stirring it, how can it calm down?
Zhang Fan's heart gradually became clear, but he still asked, "How can I bear it?"
............
"What's the matter with me, Black Tiger?" The voice was cautious and slightly threatening. Xiaohei, you can go."
The black dog in front of him ran away with its tail.
Aken turned his head and happened to see another black dog talking. Ha ha, it was the same as before last night. Today, I specially prepared a small gift to make a friend. Please accept it. By the way, I have some small questions to ask, hehe.
Aken smiled like an unscrupulous uncle with a lollipop in his hand, cheating a 100-yuan banknote in the hand of a little child.
"Bry? But Uncle Black Tiger likes to bribe. The black dog named Black Tiger did not realize that there was something wrong with Aken's smile. His eyes fixed on the bag in Acan's hand. If you have any questions, please ask. There is nothing in this community that I don't know about Black Tiger! I'm the inspector of this place!"
"The inspector? Oh?" Aken was a little confused and then asked, "My first question is, what is the inspector?" How did you recognize us?" After saying that, he handed over a bone with meat.
"Whew!" The black tiger bit the bone, shook its tail, and said vaguely, "You guy, Black Tiger likes it! Inspector..."
............
"Chenwu can endure it!" The old monk's answer confirms the question in Zhang Fan's heart. What does the master have to do with the world of precepters? The old monk continued to say, "If you can endure, you will be determined. Because you will be born with wisdom, wisdom will become enlightenment, and enlightenment will be able to endure!" These four natures are based on wisdom, understanding and determination, but tolerance is practice; practice can't stand these things; if you can't stand it, your heart is uncertain, and your mind is difficult to understand. How can an ignorant people understand!"
"If you realize a little, you can endure one point. Do you understand?"
"It's hard to endure, where do disciples start?"
"As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle will be ground into a needle!"
Zhang Fan's heart suddenly knelt on the futon, his mind was numb, and his ears seemed to be full of the master's dialing sound, like thunder! There is also a picture of the attribute interface in the ring space; there are countless props displayed in front of you one by one, and finally fixed on the black iron pestle!
After a while, it showed that Acan was cursing loudly, "What are you crazy about! So what? Who didn't spend it with their heads in the scene? Who will kill him today and who will kill him tomorrow?! It's too late to take care of yourself, so you can take care of others?!"
After a while, the battleship Kirishima exploded again. Ghost fighters bombed the Japanese army, and several Japanese warships sank at sea one after another...
Green Wing fell down to save himself...
One by one, the ring holders turned into a shaggy star in front of their eyes...
............
Zhang Fan did not find that at this time, the old monk's eyes were cloudy and flashing, as if he could see through the human soul! Zhang Fan didn't know that when he was stunned, the 'understanding' value of the basic attributes rose little by little, reaching 149, and striving to break through 150! It's just that it seems to be stuck somewhere and can't break through the obstacles!
At this moment, the old monk suddenly slammed Zhang Fan Tianling Gai with his hand and shouted, "The idiot hasn't realized yet!" Sound like thunder, roaring like a lion! Shocked the glass on the table It burst!
Zhang Fan suddenly shook, and his heart was bright, as if he suddenly opened the thick curtains and saw the bright sky outside the window! It's like a hanging Thunderbolt, dispelling the haze all over the sky! The brain is like enlightenment, and everything is clear!
Push Jinshan and pour down the jade pillar. Zhang Fan took his head and swore loudly: "Disciples make this big wish for the Buddha's way: even if the future is thorny and wild, the disciples will never stop on this road of enlightenment!"
The old monk smiled, stroked Zhang Fan's head, read three conversion spells in his mouth, and said, "Today, there is a layman Zhang Fan, who has converted to my Buddha. He is willing to hold the five precepts, practice quiet deeds, cultivate his mind, plant wisdom roots, and practice at home. His Dharma name is Shifan, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! Nanmu Amitabha! There is no Amitabha Buddha!"
At this point, Zhang Fan's wish has been made! When I was happy, I suddenly felt that my mind was clear, and the rings on my hands were flowing! Baihui's mind, the central mouth of sandalwood, a burst of warmth in Dantian's abdomen; it extends to the whole body, eight veins, seven wheels (top wheel, eyebrow wheel, throat wheel, heart wheel, navel wheel, sea wheel, Fancupoint wheel), as if the whole person is bathed in the hot spring! If Akan was present, he would definitely be able to see Zhang Fan's golden light all over his body, and bursts of breathing, rhythmically emitting colorful light wheels. It's like the bright Buddha light on the Buddha's living room of Zhang Fan's living room!
