Chapter 2981
On the way to Qixia Temple, Ito Nanako took advantage of several red lights to check Master Jingqing's background.
This check was really remarkable. Master Jingqing is not only famous in the country, but his influence has even begun to affect Buddhist believers in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Everyone's evaluation of Master Jingqing is that he has great talent and great kindness, a heart that embraces the world, and all rivers run into the sea. He is a genius who has not been born in the field of Buddhism.
What surprised her even more was that many temples in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Bhutan, and other countries sent sincere invitations to Master Jingqing, hoping that Master Jingqing could go to preach Buddhism to the believers in that country. It's just that Master Jingqing's lectures for the next year are all in the country, so he hasn't agreed for the time being.
In addition, Ito Nanako also saw evaluations of Master Jingqing by well-known Buddhist masters in China and abroad. Without exception, everyone felt that Master Jingqing's understanding of Buddhism is the most profound in today's society, none of them.
His lectures on many scriptures even made many old masters who have studied for a lifetime feel enlightened and suddenly enlightened.
The more she understood Master Jingqing's background, the more surprised Nanako felt.
She didn't expect that she would have such an opportunity on this ordinary morning.
However, what she cares about is not how proficient Master Jingqing is in Buddhism, but that she wants to ask for an amulet blessed and opened by him for Ye Chen.
When she drove to Qixia Temple, many early incense pilgrims had already started to go up the mountain to offer incense.
It's just that these pilgrims didn't know that the famous Master Jingqing had already come here.
Ito Nanako bypassed the main hall and went straight to the Dharma circulation office, only to find that it was not open for the time being.
The notice at the door shows that the opening time of the Dharma circulation office is from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Ito Nanako couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking in her heart: "That lady told me to come here, but it's not open yet. Could it be a prank?"
Thinking of this, Ito Nanako hurriedly shook her head: "Sin, sin, I shouldn't speculate and doubt other people's kindness for no reason. Maybe there is some deviation in time?"
Just when Ito Nanako was confused, one of the wooden doors of the Dharma circulation office opened, and a monk walked out, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, may I ask what the donor is doing?"
Ito Nanako hurriedly bowed deeply, and then said: "Master, sorry to bother you, I want to ask, is it registered here to visit Master Jingqing?"
The monk was stunned, then looked around, and seeing no one else, he lowered his voice and said: "Sin, sin, Master Jingqing just arrived at this temple this morning. This temple has not yet prepared for the opening of the lecture, so it cannot be disclosed to the outside world for the time being. Since the donor has the fate to know, please follow me."
Hearing the first half of the monk's sentence, Ito Nanako thought the other party had politely declined her, but hearing the back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully with her hands together: "Thank you, Master!"
The monk nodded and asked her: "Has the donor prepared the magic object? If you need Master Jingqing to open light and bless it, you need to prepare the magic object in advance."
Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "I came in a hurry and didn't carry any magic objects with me. I wonder if I can ask for one from here?"
The monk smiled and said: "Donor, the amulets of my temple are mostly printed products customized from factories in brocade bags. If the donor hopes that the effect will be better, you can handwrite a copy of the 'Heart Sutra' and put it in, and then ask Master Jingqing to open light for you."
As he spoke, he reminded: "The 'Heart Sutra' has only 260 characters in full, so it is not difficult to write."
Ito Nanako hurriedly asked: "Then may I ask, can you lend me paper and pen here? Also, I wonder if Master Jingqing can wait for me for a while and see him after I finish writing?"
The monk smiled: "I can lend the donor paper and pen. The donor can take it directly to see Master Jingqing. He will chant scriptures, bless, and open light for you at the same time. The effect is the best."
Ito Nanako said excitedly: "That's really thank you so much!"
After speaking, she bowed deeply again.
The monk said Amitabha, then turned and entered the Dharma circulation office. Not long after, he took a yellow brocade bag, as well as paper, pen, and ink, and went out of the gate of the Dharma circulation office. He carefully turned around and closed the door, and then took Ito Nanako to the backyard of the temple.
Afterwards, he said to Nanako: "Donor, please follow me."
Nanako nodded hurriedly and followed him to the back of the temple.
Passing through a mottled red brick wall is the backyard of the temple. It is almost never open to the public here. Except for the monks in the temple, only lay Buddhists with deep relationships with the temple are allowed to enter.
Here, there is a Buddhist hall specifically for lay Buddhists to lecture on the Dharma. Some lay Buddhists who are pious enough and talented enough practice here with hair. They will go up the mountain to learn the Dharma regularly. When the Buddhist fate arrives, they will officially shave and become monks.
At this time, Master Jingqing was sitting upright in front of the lecture platform in the Buddhist hall, closing his eyes and chanting scriptures.
The little monk pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall and said respectfully: "Master Jingqing, a female donor asks to see you."
Master Jingqing opened his eyes, nodded and said: "Bring her in!"
The little monk nodded respectfully: "Disciple obeys!"
After speaking, he turned out, let go of the entrance passage, and said to Ito Nanako: "Donor, Master Jingqing invites you."
Ito Nanako thanked her with her hands together again, and then stepped into the Buddhist hall with an excited and uneasy mood.
Seeing Ito 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 open her mind and realize the Tao, and even more than I was back then. Some people are like this, at first glance, they have the talent to reach the sky!"
Feeling that others have wisdom is a unique intuition of those who have opened their minds and realized the Tao towards similar juniors.
It's like a top master in a martial arts novel seeing a child with top talent, he can see at a glance that the other party's root bone is excellent, while in the eyes of those who don't understand, he only feels ordinary.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and said to Ito Nanako: "Amitabha, the donor came to see me, I don't know what to do?"
Ito Nanako bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Disciple Ito Nanako, from Kyoto, Japan. My mother was a pious Buddhist believer before her death. I was influenced by her and am also a believer in Buddhism. Today, I accidentally heard that Master Jingqing came to Jin Ling, so I rashly asked to see you, and wanted to ask the master to open light and bless an amulet for the disciple. The disciple wants to give it to the person in her heart."
"The person in her heart..." Master Jingqing suddenly felt some regret, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The donor has all things in her eyes and clouds in her body. She is the person with the deepest Buddhist fate I have ever seen in my life. If the donor converts to Buddhism and studies Buddhism with all her heart, she will surely be the happiness of all living beings. I don't know if the donor has any idea of converting to Buddhism?"
