The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Founder saw this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, then seemed to figure out something, so he stretched out again.

The salted fish and red baby frowned when they saw the big stone incense burner.

Salted fish muttered, "Master, are you sure this is a censer, not a donkey trough?"

Founder directly gave him a shiver on his forehead and glared at him, "Your donkey trough is so beautiful?"

Founder was not bragging. Although this large incense burner looks simple and unpretentious, if you look closely, you can see that it is so clumsy, and the natural texture above outlines the Daxiong treasure hall, such as the Buddha who was worshipped by all Buddhas. scene! Changing the angle is the blooming lotus flower, and the weather of Koi Turui is really a rare treasure! The only pity is that this is a stone ... but after Fang Zheng carefully observes, he is surprised to find that this is not a stone! It is a special porcelain product fired from clay! It's just appearance, just like stone! In other words, the painting above is not natural, but someone made it by hand!

This is great, Founder has never heard of anyone who can do this!

The salted fish did not feel a pain when eating a crackling chestnut, but still carried forward the style of immortality and said, "I seriously, although the censer I saw in Lingshan also has stones, but they are basically round! This Fang, I have never seen it ... Master, have you been deceived and brought the donkey slot to the top bag? "

The red child also said, "Master, I have never seen such an incense burner. This incense burner is obviously a square, but it has only three feet, so it looks like a tripod!"

The red baby's words are more straightforward, and the Founder is not easy to get angry. Looking at the little guys, they are curious, and can only explain patiently: "You don't understand this. In ancient China, Ding is used to cook food and sacrifice. Can there be no lid for the utensils for cooking? Therefore, Ding is generally covered. Moreover, Ding is generally made of bronze or metal. Metal is easy to conduct heat and it is easy to cook. "

The salted fish muttered, "I see. The guy who gave you Ding took a rebate and gave Ding the lid for greed! Or he left home and didn't send it to you! Master, you can't bear it. Something, half the truth? "

Founder was too lazy to ignore him and continued: "Look again, what material is this incense burner for?"

A group of little guys got together. The lone wolf, squirrel, and monkey have never seen anything in the world. Naturally, they can't see one, two, or three, and they are straight stones.

The red baby is not the same. He grew up in various instruments and magic treasures since he was a child. His eyes are still vicious. After looking at it for a while, he shouted, "This is porcelain!"

Founder nodded: "Yes, this is indeed porcelain."

"Master, the porcelain is stubborn again? Is there anything particular about it?" The squirrel really couldn't figure out, as long as it was big enough to burn incense? What other materials do you use?

Founder shook his head: "Although Buddhism came from the West, but after countless years of integration, it has been in the country for many years. Many ideas have been deeply influenced by the Chinese culture, abandoned the past, and integrated into the Chinese culture. Huaxia , Pay attention to the Tianyuan place, therefore, the incense burner is also different because of different sacrifices. As the salted fish said, there are more round incense burners in Lingshan, that is because the Buddhas burn incense and worship not God, but heaven! Round incense burners, most of which are carved from stone and made of metal.

The square incense burner is used to worship the earth, worship the dust, worship all beings, and pray for all beings. This kind of incense burner is mostly fired from earthy clay, that is, ceramics. But the truth is clear. Our ceramic incense burner itself follows the principles of Huaxia.

As a teacher, we often say that our ritual Buddha is not a flying Buddha in the sky, not a Buddha sitting firmly on the mountain, but a Buddha in the hearts of all beings, the origin of goodness of those who have a clear understanding of sex. Therefore, the pilgrims who come to worship at our temple are not so much worshipping Buddha, but rather seeing **** with their hearts and worshiping themselves. Therefore, we use this square incense burner, which is just as good.

As for the three legs like Dading, they are commonly used by the Buddhist monks. The three legs represent the three treasures of the Buddhist monks. When placed, the first one and the second one are placed like the law, and they are also very particular. However, this is more common in round incense burners. Square incense burners are equipped with three legs. To be honest, I have never seen them.

Of course, it is not so particular now, and it is not so careful. Metal, stone carving, ceramics can be used at will. At least, many monasteries don't pay attention to this ... "

Speaking of this, Red Baby nodded and said, "Indeed, in some people's eyes, this is just a feudal superstition. Of course, in this era of information explosion, how it is convenient and how to come, anyway.

The salted fish heard his words and shook his head.

The squirrel was cute, and didn't quite understand: "Is heart sincere, but spirit, I think, is that right?"

After hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes were a bit lonely, and he shook his head slightly, "Heart is heart, but spirit, that's the attitude of Li Buddha. But this is different from that ..."

After that, Founder shook his head and went to the backyard, somewhat lonely.

The squirrel immediately followed and asked, "Master, do you explain it?"

Founder waved his hand: "The inheritance of culture is carried in the ceremony. When the ceremony is streamlined or even omitted, the rest is nothing more than an invisible empty word, which is finally scattered by the wind in the long river of history. It seems nothing, but it carries the Chinese culture. When these are gone, the culture is gone.

It's as if people often say that the Spring Festival is no longer Chinese New Year. Is it really Chinese New Year? It is your Chinese New Year that has been downplayed, all ceremonies have been streamlined and cancelled, and the rest is only a New Year's Eve dinner. In this age of plenty of clothing and food, can the New Year's Eve be eaten, usually not eaten? That night dinner also lost its appeal, so what's left of the Spring Festival?

In the previous Chinese New Year, it was a bright lantern, and firecrackers were set according to the hour. It was hung outside the house and attached to it. People met each other and said that they turned on the lights and lit firecrackers at night. , Parents send red envelopes, happy. But now it turns out, you have a mobile phone, I have a mobile phone, no one looks at the Spring Festival Gala, the dumplings are eaten in advance, the firecrackers are too lazy to set off, and sleep early. Years have passed so unknowingly ...

The ceremony carries culture, but the culture has to give up the ritual. Is it really the ritual that finally gives up? "
