Chapter 1 of the Half Book of Monasticism

Three questions came back to eat, this time I heard someone shouting, sitting under the big tree at the head of the village, the child who listened to the story heard someone shouting at him, immediately turned back and agreed, I knew, I will go back in a moment, you eat first

This child's name is Zhang Sanwen, and since he was a child, he likes to listen to the elders in the village tell stories, all kinds of legends, and every time he listens to them with relish and enjoyment.

Today I heard a few elders telling the story of Huilong Temple, under the big tree sat a few older, and a group of young children, only to hear the elderly said, today from the Huilong Temple chopping wood back, passed through the temple gate, you guess what I saw, another person replied, what did I see, I saw that there is a monk living in the temple now, the age is not young, and I don't know where it came from

Because Huilong Temple is near our village, every year on the 15th day of the first lunar month, people in our village will burn incense, worship the Buddha, pray for peace, which has basically become a custom in the local area, but this is not superstitious

However, the point is that this temple is generally not there, only on the fifteenth day of the first day of each year, there will be people, after this time, no one is there, because that place is relatively remote, usually few people go, except for the people who cut firewood, generally do not go there.

The reason why there are few people going there is also a reason, because the temple is called Huilong Temple, this time the elder said, this Huilong Temple is not simple, talking about the night of lightning and thunder decades ago, someone saw two dragons flying out of the Huilong Temple River, and finally one flew back, so this place is called Huilong Temple, the locals also know this legend, more or less have a reverence for that place, and few people go there, but today there is a monk living in that temple. This matter is worth discussing in this small village chief, because this is also a kind of after-dinner talk

In this way, the adults in the village also told the children not to go there in the future, and to be careful of being caught by the monks, and to use these words to scare the children, lest they sneak away there

But after Zhang Sanqing heard this story, he felt very curious, and really wanted to go and see it immediately, because he knew huilong temple, but before this, he did not know that huilong temple had such a saying.

Thinking that the family shouted for dinner, Zhang San asked, immediately ran back, simply, ate a bowl of rice, and then ran out to play, you know, the children in the village can't stay idle

Either run here to play, or run to that play, this time he went to his fa xiao home, ready to go to his fa xiao, Chen Qingshu, although he grew up in a village, but he did not have the same surname, Chen Qingshu's family was fleeing from other places, and later settled in their village, everyone slowly accepted their home, but behind the scenes there are still some bullying of their family

However, Zhang Sanqing's family style is relatively good, and he has been taught from a young age to be a good person, to do things well, not to bully people, and not to do bad things. Therefore, in addition to his willingness to play with Chen Qingshu, no one else is willing to play with him, and Chen Qingshu's family of course knows this, so he is also exceptionally good to Zhang Sanqing, and does not regard him as an outsider

At this time, Zhang San asked, came to his home, looking for him to go out to play, at this time Chen Qingshu was eating, Chen Qingshu saw that he was coming, and casually pulled a few mouthfuls of rice. He stopped eating and said let's go, let's go out and play

Chen Qingshu went out with him, Zhang Sanqing thought in his heart, so he said to Chen Qingshu, Qingshu went back to the Dragon Temple today to see, and heard that there was a monk in the temple

Chen Qingshu is also quite interesting enough not to say a word, go to see together, I also heard the villagers say that there is a monk in the Huilong Temple, I also want to go to see it, said the two of them went

As a result, I really saw a monk in the temple, the monk was not young and looked at fifty to sixty years old, at this time I saw the two of them coming, I asked you where the two of you came from, what did you come here, the adults in the family know that they don't know, the children don't run around, this is the river in front, don't go down to play with the water, be obedient

Listening to the words that the elders of the family often instructed, Zhang San asked hurriedly said that I know, the two of us came to see you today, not to play with water, you can rest assured, at this time the monk took out a few offerings for them to eat, they were not polite, anyway, the offerings were good things, they ate up

After eating, I asked the monk, are you afraid of living alone in this night, this is still electricity, you cook rice and eat at night, the monk said that it is not afraid, cooking rice is easier, I bought candles, you can light candles at night, cook rice, said that the two of them walked around the temple, worshiped the bodhisattva, and then waved goodbye to the monk, saying that it was too late for us to go back

The monk told them to be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and the two replied that they knew, and then walked back

At this time, the old monk said to the big river at the door, Huilong Temple Huilong Temple, Dragon Flying Dragon Hui, Huilong Temple,

Saying that, he looked at the main hall of huilong temple,

The mouth spoke the Buddhist sayings, true and false, false and true, false and true, true and false, false and true, true and false, true and false, the world, what is true and false
