Mirror of the Sky

A cultivator needs to have great determination and perseverance in order to succeed in cultivation in addition to the talent and aptitude and the inheritance of the law.

Humans are born with a natural instinct to sleep at night. If they want to go against their nature, they will use practice instead of sleep. The secret of practice is to go against the sky. It will inevitably produce various uncomfortable feelings, torment and torment people's will.

Zhang Huansheng sat cross-legged on the bed all night and practiced the "Dragon Elephant Fundamental Sutra" four times. After that, he got out of bed and resisted the drowsiness, and practiced "Eight Nine Mysteries" for a while, and finally heard In the distant city, the sound of the bell of the hour was heard.

At this moment, the day's cultivation is over. After he finished his work, his head was dizzy, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

"You have to be refreshed." Yawning, Zhang Huansheng muttered in a low voice and thought for a while, strode out of the washhouse, poured cold water in a nearby deep well made of rocks, poured it down from scratch, and it was frozen. The whole body was fighting a cold war, but the spirit was shocked.

Afterwards, he filled the water with satisfaction and returned to the Washer. He rubbed his teeth with green salt a few times, and washed his face with soap. He picked up the lacquer plate and walked towards the dining room in the face of the rising sun.

After breakfast, it was the time for the orphans in Nanyang Tzu Chi Hall to study literature. Because the clergyman was clean and honest and never greedy for money, he invited as many as six teachers.

Zhang Huansheng has been a novice in Daxumi Temple since he was sensible. In addition to doing some rough work of carrying water and chopping firewood, he has to train his muscles and bones and hone his will. He also meditates and recites scriptures.

Because he found the stone bowl of the ancient great virtue, he secretly visualized the Great Power Heavenly Dragon and the Wisdom Treasure Elephant whenever he had spare time.

That mighty celestial dragon is worth it, but the treasure image of wisdom is the most lucid dharma in Buddhism. In the visualization, Zhang Huansheng has secretly added countless wisdom, and he learns the text very quickly. The characters are the medieval seal script, the Sanskrit script of Tianzhu in the birthplace of Buddhism, and he is very proficient in it, and he writes a good character.

But when the knowledge is hidden in the belly and not revealed, no one can see it.

Zhang Huansheng looked like a child less than four feet tall. No one would have imagined that he would be so knowledgeable. In addition, he had just been sent to the Tzu Chi Hall. It was his first morning class, so he was naturally sent to teach the most basic knowledge. in front of the teaching.

In a spacious and bright room with ventilation on all sides, there is a square straw mat. Fifty to sixty children of different ages are sitting on the mat. Put pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

On a three-foot stone platform made of bluestone in front of the lobby, a thin middle-aged man with a goatee and a blue cloth scribe's robe stood tall in front of Zhang's old mahogany, looking down at Zhang Huan. Born, he asked slowly, "Can the boy be enlightened?"

"Reporting to teaching and learning, the boy suffered from the disease of detachment from the soul because of the death of his father and mother, and he forgot everything about the past." Zhang Huansheng replied respectfully.

The human race is martial, and the folk customs of all the people are that reading is not as good as martial arts, and martial arts is not as good as cultivating the law. That gentleman, a Tzu Chi teacher, is naturally not a noble identity. Although he is not discriminatory, he is not treated with much courtesy.

Seeing Zhang Huansheng speaking at this time was very beneficial, and his face was low and pleasing to the eyes, looking young and cute, he couldn't help but feel pity and love, shook his head and said, "Hey, most of the people who have fallen into this Tzu Chi hall are orphans and evil children, but you can't help it. One more layer of suffering is really pitiful, and in that case, I will teach you from the beginning.

Remember that my name is Su Zhenchang, and I will be your teacher from now on. "

"Yes, sir." Zhang Huansheng said respectfully when he heard the words, and then he pretended to study the enlightenment "Shi Xun" under the instruction of the teacher.

Then Su Zhenchang taught Zhang Huansheng a few words by himself, while teaching other students, and found that Zhang Huansheng could read quickly. Ordinary children are smart if they know more than a dozen words a day, but he knows it in just a few cups of tea. Got dozens of words.

But when Su Zhenchang was shocked, Zhang Huansheng suddenly showed a look of pain on his face, sweat beads the size of beans broke out on his forehead for no reason, and said in a trembling voice, "Teach Xi Rongqi, after the boy has the spirit of separation, he often suffers from The torment of the headache disease, once it occurs, the headache is splitting, and many famous doctors have tried to cure it, but it has become more and more serious.

If other naughty students looked like this, Su Zhenchang would have felt that he was feigning illness, and he would never let it go easily, but he had a good impression on Zhang Huansheng, so he said in a hurry, "If that's the case, then go back. Cultivation, if it is not good, don’t force it, Xia Sitang is benevolent, and there are doctors in the hall to treat you.”

"Yes, thank you sir for reminding me." Zhang Huansheng stood up and gave a deep salute, covered his head and walked out of the school hall.

Some of the stubborn students saw that he was so easy to get away, so they couldn't help agitating, and whispered: "Sir, it's not fair, this new kid gets sick when he is sick, and leaves when he is sick, but we are all liars when we are sick. ."

Hearing this, Su Zhenchang sneered and said, "This new kid has learned thirty-five characters in half an hour. If you can read fifteen new characters a day, you won't get sick, and I'll let you go. How are you kidding?"

These words came out of everyone's grief, and they lost their excuses, so they could only sigh and continue to study honestly, and Zhang Huansheng had the freedom to not have to go to full morning classes since then. UU reading www.uukanshu.com In ten words, Su Zhenchang, who loves him deeply and intelligently, will take the initiative to remind his disciple not to consume too much energy and let him go.

In the time for martial arts practice after noon, Zhang Huansheng followed the same pattern, citing that he was suffering from detachment from the soul and had limited energy every day.

At first, because of the impression of him, the martial arts practitioners were far less fond of him than Su Zhenchang regarded him as a proud disciple, so he was not allowed to take leave every day and return early, until Zhang Xuansheng pointed out in his words that he was the captain of the Xiaofeng Army and sent him to Tzu Chi in person. In the hall, this Lishun syndrome was also diagnosed by the Xiaofeng Army TCM officer, and this was confirmed by Yan Yungao, the head of the Tzu Chi hall, and there was no obstacle.

It took a little care and seven or eight days to make Zhang Yuansheng the freest orphan in the entire Tzu Chi hall. In addition to eating in the dining hall every day, he spent more than an hour reading books. , except for the muscles and bones, the remaining nearly ten hours are free.

And because every time he took leave, he never walked around, ran, played, and really stayed in his own shack. People gradually believed that Zhang Xuansheng was really suffering from the disease of leaving the soul. , As soon as you work hard, you will hurt your mind, and if you hurt your mind, you need to rest, and some dissatisfaction has turned into pity.

For this kind of change, Zhang Huansheng, who is bright-hearted and intelligent, can naturally feel it from the eyes of others looking at him and his attitude towards him. Although he finds it funny in his heart, he accepts it readily.

As long as you can spend all your time cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Fundamental Sutra" and "Eight Nine Mysteries", not to mention being regarded as a weak and sick child with a brain disease, a lunatic, an idiot, what is the importance.

There is an old saying that if you are not mad, you will not become a Buddha.
