A handsome and natural Buddha statue, he chose to become a monk at a young age
Have you ever seen a monk playing basketball? He is the most handsome monk in China, with deep eyes, handsome appearance, a pair of wise ears and a large and full face, a natural Buddha face, so he is called the "modern version of the Tang monk", and he also bumps into the face star He Shengming.
Ben was a monk, but because of his outstanding appearance, he was on fire on the Internet, and he was a clear heart.
Shi Mingxin was an abbot of Pu'an Monastery in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province, and was a down-to-earth monk, but his appearance shattered the impression of ordinary people on monks.
Due to its outstanding appearance, the incense of the Pu'an Temple, where Shi Mingxin is located, is very exuberant. Most of the pilgrims who come to Pu'an Temple to incense are women, in order to see the handsome abbot's demeanor.
There are also some crazy female fans, who disregard the Buddhist rules and regulations, and have launched a fierce pursuit of the interpretation of the ming heart. In order to pursue him, a rich woman once spent a lot of money to buy a 4 million Ferrari for him, in order to win his favor.
But he would not be moved to meditate on the red dust of men and women at all. But the rich woman still chased and beat her fiercely, and finally she had to call the police to deal with it.
This scene is like the scene in "Journey to the West", the female monster pestering Elder Tang, but it really happened in the life of Shi Mingxin, and you can imagine how handsome this abbot really is.
So why would such a handsome man choose the pure life of the ancient Buddha who is often accompanied by green lights?
Shi Mingxin is a proper post-80s, the family is well-off, the parents have gone to the sea to do business, and they have never treated their sons badly materially.
And Shi Mingxin has been very sensible since he was a child, unlike the noisy and naughty children of the same age, he not only knows how to understand the hardships of his parents since he was a child, but also very quiet and introverted.
When other children are chasing and fighting, Shi Mingxin prefers to think quietly alone. Thinking about where people come from? What do people do when they live? Questions like this are beyond this age.
He likes to think and enjoy thinking, and he knows better what he wants, which also lays a foreshadowing for him to choose to become a monk in the future.
In 1999, Shi Mingxin passed the exam and obtained an iron rice bowl job working in the town government. At that time, as long as he insisted on working steadily, the future days were guaranteed to have no worries.
In addition, Shi Mingxin has a handsome appearance and less calm speech, so he is very popular with girls in the unit. Many girls actively pursue enlightenment and want to fall in love with him.
But the stable iron rice bowl work also indicates that the dry life of The Heart of Interpretation for the next ten years is like a day, and the red dust love is not what he wants.
After all, the stability of matter is not as good as the peace of mind, and the various things that we have now can't help but make the enlightened mind think about the meaning of living again.
In 2006, by chance, Shi Mingxin heard the Buddhist song "Reincarnation" on the Internet, and for a time he felt that his soul was soothed and moved, which was a rare moment of calm for several years.
Later, he often went to the Buddhist temple to attend morning and evening classes, and in December of the same year, Shi Mingxin resolutely chose to become a monk and pursue the pure land of his heart.
But his path to monasticism was not as smooth as he had imagined.
The road to monasticism is winding and winding, and the original intention is not to forget the pursuit of ideals
Don't work with the iron rice bowl of a civil servant, you have to go into the empty door to ask the Buddha for a quiet understanding of the mind, and it is very difficult to get the support of your parents.
He was the only son in the family, so before he could leave the family, his parents came to the Tiantai Guoqing Temple and arrested their son and returned home.
For the parents of the enlightened heart, it is very important to continue the inheritance of incense from generation to generation. As the only male in the family, Shi Mingxin actually became a monk, so the family did not want to cut off its children and grandchildren.
Moreover, the matter of the son's renunciation, in the ancient town that is not very large, will definitely cause discussion among outsiders, and the parents who are clear-hearted are people with good faces, how can they bear such gossip.
As for the enlightened mind, he is not afraid of being discussed by the world, being incomprehensible and questioned, and these gossip are nothing compared to the pursuit of the freedom and tranquility of the original mind.
But their parents are different, and they have suffered so many rumors in plain faith, which is not contrary to the original intention of the original renunciation.
So this time, the interpreter chose to compromise, but the obedience of the action did not represent the inner identity.
Even though every answer is to refuse to deny, Shi Mingxin still goes out of his way to communicate with his parents about renunciation, to explain his true thoughts, and to make his parents understand him.
On the other hand, although the enlightened mind did not enter the Buddha's door, he never relaxed his study of the Dharma from beginning to end. After three years, he finally passed his own efforts and was admitted to the Chinese Buddhist Academy and the Minyuan Academy, and got an opportunity to formally study Buddhism.
On the side of Shi Mingxin's parents, after three years of observation, they also saw how much determination their son was to become a monk. Seeing his son so hard to fight for it, looking at the emaciated face of Shi Mingxin, as a parent, even if he is no longer willing, he can only support his son's ideal and realize the dream of Shi Mingxin becoming a monk.
In 2009, Shi Mingxin finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a monk and successfully went to his favorite Buddhist college to systematically learn Buddhist knowledge.
After explaining his thoughts, he recalled this journey and said bluntly: "This is fate." Sure enough, I was still a monk. ”
The two examinations changed his fate twice, and he exchanged his iron rice bowl in the government department for a monk's tile bowl, although it was not understood, but that was what Shi Mingxin wanted to do the most.
"People can do what they like in life, that is, the greatest happiness, and I like Buddhism, I am related to the Buddha, and being able to become a monk is the best destination."
The clear mind that has found his own destination can finally follow the footsteps of his heart and do what he loves most. Listening to the Dharma and meditating on Zen meditation makes the enlightened mind extremely peaceful and at ease.
After four years of study, Shi Mingxin successfully graduated from the Buddhist College. After graduation, he chose to practice at Pu'an Temple in his hometown of Yongjia, Zhejiang Province, and became the new abbot of Pu'an Temple.
Located in the hometown of Pu'an Temple, because there are very few local worshippers of the Buddha, the spread of Buddhist knowledge is not very extensive, so the incense of the temple is not very exuberant.
And it has fallen into disrepair, and many of the facilities are in tatters.
But in the face of such an environment, The Mind of Liberation did not complain in the slightest. On the one hand, the inner abundance is sufficient to resist material deprivation, and on the other hand, the enlightened mind believes that all sufferings are the experience given to him by the Buddha, and only by facing it calmly can he become related to the Buddha.
In this way, Shi Mingxin completely regarded Pu'an Temple as his home. Not only did it slowly renovate the wall facilities, but it also planted flowers and grass in the temple.
The original old Pu'an Temple, because of the arrival of the Enlightened Heart, has been rejuvenated with new vitality.
The arrival of the Enlightened Heart not only gave new life to the Pu'an Temple, but also brought the incense with his own strength.
The Internet exploded into controversy, sharing life envied others
After the "First Handsome Monk of China" Shi Mingxin became popular, in addition to the crazy rich woman who spent 4 million yuan to buy a car for a relationship, even his daily basketball with the monks would attract many fans to watch.
Many tourists came to Pu'an Temple with the idea of seeing the face of the Master Buddha, and the incense of Pu'an Temple became more and more popular because of his popularity.
Although the popularity has led to the incense of the temple, this has also made Shi Mingxin very distressed, and even some people have climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to find him.
Then more and more media reported on this most handsome monk, and in the face of those reports, some people called on everyone to put reason first and not to disturb the tranquility of the Buddhist Gate. There are also many people who chew on the root of the tongue of The Interpretation Heart, saying that he is using this matter to hype up, and the purpose is not pure.
But Shi Mingxin just smiled and didn't care. Not only that, but he also registered a certain voice account to record the life of the monks and explain the knowledge of the Dharma.
Shi Mingxin uses the best actions to break the suspicion of the outside world about himself. In the era when live streaming was popular, he used his own account to share the pure life of idle clouds and wild cranes.
For example, walking in the mountains, enjoying fish in streams, meditating under the sunset, etc., Shi Mingxin hit the mouths of everyone in his own way, and he couldn't help but make many netizens envy such a quiet life.
While gaining many fans, Shi Mingxin also used the powerful communication power of the Internet to explain Buddhism and spread Buddhist knowledge to everyone.
Some people may gradually lose themselves in money and interests in the face of the soaring popularity, but it is rare for the heart to remain in the face of popularity.
I could have enjoyed the network dividend, live broadcast with goods to earn a small amount of money, but the opposite way, only to be their own idle clouds and wild cranes, never let the Buddha's heart be contaminated with the slightest interests of the world.
Being yourself is easy to say, but there are very few people who can really do it, so people like Shi Mingxin deserve the respect of all of us.
