Chapter 355: The True Heart
Masayoshi Kishimoto walked into the Abbot Monk’s compartment, and shortly after he sat down, a young monk brought himself tea in a regular manner.
He picked up the tea, held the bottom of the tea bowl with his left hand, picked up the lid with his right hand, and while using the lid to scrape the two or three tea leaves floating on the water surface, he gently blew the wind with his mouth towards the tea cup.
Although he was not a tea drinker, he was able to tell whether a tea was good or bad from the soup color, aroma and other basic recognition.
Kishimoto justice heart is very clear, even if you do not look, also know that the other party will not slow down their own. Who let him already showed the identity of the Japanese plutocrat?
Abbot monk appeared, not speaking Chinese, but Japanese said: “Chinese tea is different from Japanese tea. Can the monk know the precepts of Chinese tea drinking?”
Masayoshi Kishimoto took a sip, turned sideways and slowly put it back on top of the solid wood coffee table, calmly said, “Cao Xueqin’s Dream of Red Mansions has a cloud, the way to taste tea is one cup is a cup of taste, two cups that is to quench the thirst of the stupidity, and three cups that is to drink the cow and mule.
In addition, also pay attention to the water of tea. In the book “dream of red chamber”, Miao Yu entertained Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu with the water is the cold winter inside the collection of plum blossom above the snow water. Even she herself couldn’t afford to drink it and buried it underground in an altar.”
“Scholar is quite knowledgeable about the Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the four great masterpieces of our country.” Abbot monk sat on top of the chair on the side next to the other side and said.
“It’s not much of a study, I just know a little bit about it. The great monk’s Japanese is quite good.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said honestly.
“When I was young, I also traveled east to Japan to study Buddhism for a few years.” The Abbot Monk suddenly folded his hands together and mentioned the events of his early years.
For this reason, Masayoshi Kishimoto did not find it strange at all. Japanese monks were not quite the same as Chinese monks. The former’s temples are often private property, doing all kinds of private business work, not only can be handed down from generation to generation, but also can marry and have children, drink and eat meat.
As for the latter, the puritanical precepts are much more. However, nowadays monks, how many people can still really keep the heart?
In his previous life, he knew that in those temples where the incense was flourishing, the head monk not only drove a Porsche Cayenne, but also drank and ate meat in private, and even married and had children.
As for the nuns, there are a lot of brand-name cosmetics, luxury bags, singing karaoke and so on. Then later, even if you want to be a monk in the program, you still have to have a bachelor’s degree in a related field.
Monks in Thailand, there are even people traveling by private jet. In Phetchaburi, which is known as one of the most beautiful provincial capitals in Thailand, there is a marvelous temple called Parang Tabuk.
Unlike other temples, there are hundreds of tigers in addition to monks, hence the name “Tiger Temple”. The monks can put their hands into the mouths of the tigers and make the tigers make all kinds of cute faces, even the “toothy grin”.
The reason why the tigers here are so docile is that they are inspired by the Buddha’s teachings. In fact, not only did they artificially conduct all kinds of training, but also gave the tigers a large number of sleeping pills, tranquilizers, etc., which caused the tigers to be dizzy all day long.
Monks have long since ceased to be monks, but are a profession. The essence of this profession is no different from other professions. The only difference is that it is still wrapped in some mysterious colors.
“How does the Abbot interpret Monk Ji Beng’s Wine and Flesh Goes Through the Intestines, but the Buddha Remains in the Heart. If the world learns from me, it is like entering the path of the devil.” Justice Kishimoto said without haste.
“My answer for the abbot is that it is difficult to keep the original heart.” The monk Abbot naturally understood that what he asked would not be the literal original meaning. If he himself were to explain it according to the literal meaning, it would be too level-less Dao.
“Great monk, can you keep your original heart?” Justice Kishimoto said bluntly.
The Abbot Monk just pretended to smile without saying anything. He had seen all kinds of people quite a lot, of course he knew that this can become the Japanese Zaibatsu’s people absolutely will not be idle generation.
What’s more, in his own eyes at present such a person, age is not big, thirty years old or so appearance, that must be in the talent above is extraordinary.
“Scholar, you into this temple to, I’m afraid that not only just burn incense to worship Buddha, perhaps there is a request, right? Could it be that you are seeking to further your career?”
The abbot monk thought that the person who could stand out to do great things at a young age, that must be wanting to have a bigger career pattern.
“Sort of! What I’m seeking is not a career, but a marriage.” Justice Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“The monk is troubled by this, so he must be destined for a peach blossom.” The Abbot Monk was not unquestioning, but very much aware of that worldly set of human affairs.
This want to sit to now their own this abbot position above, not to see how deep your Buddhism, mainly in the look at you will not be the way of business.
This business way, in addition to the management and operation of the temple, but also with the outside world of all parties to deal with. To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between operating and managing a company.
He would not fail to understand that the other side of this kind of young, golden, not ugly man is bound to be the ideal target of thousands of women.
A successful man is bound to have more than one woman around him. This woman more, also may not be a good thing. It is a normal phenomenon to have troubles.
At the same time, Masayoshi Kishimoto similarly understood this. He was not unaware that the reason why Lingyin Temple was particularly famous was due to the strong publicity effect of a popular TV series “Jigong” that had taken mainland China by storm in the early years.
This is just as the Songshan Shaolin Temple was popularized by Jet Li’s portrayal of “Shaolin Temple”. Before that, the Shaolin Temple was nothing more than a shabby temple, guarded by a few old monks dressed in rags.
Later, came a great character on the momentum of the Shaolin Temple this brand to do up, resulting in today and the later generations of the boundless scenery.
The reason why he asked about the marriage is that he wanted to get insight from another angle and from the mouth of unrelated people. Marriage is not a child’s play for him.
When the Abbot Monk saw that he hadn’t replied, he believed that the other party had been spoken to by himself. He once again folded his hands and said, “Amitabha Buddha.
A monk’s family is not supposed to meddle in worldly affairs. However, since you have asked, monks, then I will keep my mouth shut some more. Do not forget your heart. Marriage in China is about a thousand miles of marriage.
Right here by the West Lake, the Legend of the White Snake, one of the four great legends of Chinese folklore, is still circulating. A hundred years of cultivation to cross the same boat, a thousand years of cultivation to sleep together.”
“I see. Thank you, Great Monk, for your guidance.” Justice Kishimoto said with some epiphany.
