Which story do you like best in the biography of Ji Gong? Why?

I often read novels sometimes. I read novels to turn them into Buddhism, especially Biography of the Duke of Ji, which contains many things, that is, things in the world now. We should learn more from Jigong's teachings. He is not a fair-weather monk. He has only traveled in Wenzhou, Tiantai, Taizhou and Hangzhou. Now, although almost a thousand years have passed, many stories about him are still circulating in his hometown.

There is a story about a butcher named Dong Rong who killed a dog. One day, he wanted to kill a dog and suddenly thought of going into the house to get something. When he came back, he found the knife missing. He can't find it anywhere. He felt very strange when he saw the puppy lying next to him. He kicked it away and found the knife below. The puppy will be killed himself, but in order to protect his mother, he moved to hide the knife. It makes me sad to think that my mother is not as good as this dog because she often beats and scolds her. I will confess to my mother when I go back, thinking that today is the last time to sell dog meat, and I will not do this kind of business in the future. Because of his kindness, he felt that Jigong had come to save him. As soon as he crouched in front of a broken wall, he wanted to relieve himself. Jigong came and ran away with his meat cart. He stood up with his trousers up and the wall collapsed. He thanked Jigong for saving him, but Jigong said, "I didn't save you!" " You saved yourself. If you are not friendly this morning, I can't save you. "He used this to enlighten people. As soon as he heard it, he immediately turned against him, which was more useful than what he said.

A bridge collapsed in the countryside of Shaoxing, and the county magistrate wanted to repair it, but he had to beg first. As a result, he found that the bridge was short of bricks. After investigation, an old monk and a young monk in a temple moved away and were put in prison. The prison was very hard, and the old monk said to the county magistrate, "Please take a vacation and let my little apprentice go to Hangzhou. I can't afford it, but I'll ask a master to help you. " There is nothing wrong with stealing a few bricks, so the county magistrate let him go. Later, the young monk turned to find Jigong. It turns out that the county magistrate was also saved by Jigong in trouble. There are ten rich people in this county. I heard that the living Buddha of Jigong came and everyone was willing to donate, but Jigong said that only one donation was needed, not ten people. None of these ten people can afford it alone, so they all left. Jigong said, "I'm going to find the king of this village!" " The magistrate said, "Wang Million has no contact with Taoist priests. Not only does he never give alms, but he also fights when he sees them begging. "

But Jigong insisted on transferring him. How come? The Wangs' house is so big that the concierge won't let him in. The porter wouldn't let him stand outside the door and shout, so he borrowed pen and ink and wrote two poems on the wall: "In the past, the riverside asked Zi Ping, and the cold forest was light. I was rich for a while, thanks to Shu Xin Ma Yurong. " "Shan Yu spent half a day all night, and the rainbow light ran due south all the way. Uncover the slate and look carefully, four or six yellow and one thousand. " Wang Million's yard is so big that he can't hear any sound outside, but on this day he heard someone begging for alms. As soon as he came out, he saw a poem written on the wall and asked, "Who wrote this?" "Just now, a monk came to beg you for alms and asked you to build a bridge. If you don't, you'll be in trouble in three days! He wrote two poems and left. " Commissioner Wang looked out and said, "Please bring him back quickly!" He said, "Go and build the bridge, and I will provide the funds!" "

What is the reason? When Wang Tai was with his parents, he became a millionaire. After his parents died of natural disasters, his family business declined and he had nothing. How can he live like a child? There are three study rooms that have not been burned down, and there are still some paper, ink and inkstones left in them. No way, he took them to the School of Poetry and Calligraphy Management to sell. On this day, I went to Linjiang County, where Li Hanlin, a fairy who used to divine, was said to be very clever. He also went to forget it. He said, "You! I must starve to death In all respects, I won't live for three years. " This Li Hanlin, known as the old Taoist, was probably a Taoist priest at that time in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Tai gave him such a calculation, and everything was broken. He was only 18 years old, but he didn't live for three years, so he was ready to go home and stop doing business. Desperate, I ignored the weather and went to a hillside to rest. It suddenly got dark and it was raining lightly. He saw a yellow bag and opened it. It's full of gold jewelry worn by women. He thought to himself, "This old man saved my life. I should starve to death. It's no use picking this up! " He just sat and waited, ready to give it back to others. After a while, a rider came. This man dropped it. His name is Shu Xin, the one written by Jigong just now. This is one of them. He returned the luggage he found to others and saved his life. He walked on. It's raining and it's late. When he saw a ruined temple, he went to the temple to take shelter from the rain. But as soon as he entered the temple, there was a girl inside This is Ma Yurong written by Jigong. When men and women don't kiss, he stands on the porch and doesn't go in to hide from the rain. At dawn the next day, he sends the woman home, and her family is very grateful. As far as these two things are concerned, it is the cause and effect of the world. I often say that everyone is dozing off in class, but when you tell a story, everyone is listening, and the drowsiness is gone! This is called secular cause and effect.

Wang Tai and he have been engaged since childhood. His wife is Mr Liu's daughter. As soon as he came back, he went to divorce his father-in-law. He said, "I'm starving. Let your daughter marry someone else! " He believes in fate. Mr. Liu said, "When your father and I got engaged, my daughter was fine and there was no problem. Now because of the decline of your family, she is worried and completely blind. How can she marry someone else? " You must get married. If you are in trouble, I will open a small bookstore for you for a few hundred taels, and your life will get by. "Once he thinks she is disabled, there is nothing he can do. Her father helps him support his family. How does he live this life? Dreaming at night, so Jigong wrote that the rainbow is due south. He has been dreaming for three days in a row. He told his wife about the situation. She said: "I heard that there may be underground treasures in this case. You put this hairpin on my head at the end of the red light and dig there tomorrow. "Digging the next day, there were six hundred ingots of gold in the jar, which made a fortune. From then on, he didn't believe in the old road, took a monk, and had a bad attitude when he met the monk later.

Jigong gave him a push and said, "Do you know why you have wealth again? Because you saved Shu Xin and Ma Yurong. If you don't believe me, I'll give you four stone heads, and whoever sees the stones will pay. " Wang Tai and Xiang, how did this happen? Do you have to pay to see the stones? The first stone came for nothing. It says "No Ding Laiben's surname is Liang". After the bridge was quickly repaired, no one wanted to see it. One day, a son suddenly came here and was surprised: "Who wrote it?" "oh! It was written by an old monk. " He asked if there were any more, and then what? "Let me see!" It costs money, 220 silver. He came to see his mother, and there was no news for several years. He paid two hundred and twenty pieces of silver to see the second one, "Jojo pretended to be clever and went to Xuantang", who was his mother. This childe looked at it and asked if there was any more. Yes, but look at a piece of 320. Because to solve the problem, he has to look at the third piece, "Xinglang wants to see his biological mother", saying that he wants to see his mother. The son's nickname is Xinglang, but the next sentence is gone. Anything else? Yes, 520! On the head of the fourth stone was written "Go to the temporary pavilion and ask the French king".

When our son was seven or eight years old, Jin went to war with Song and came here. He was separated from his mother and adopted by a man named Ding, so he came to this place to look for his biological mother in makeup. He looked for it for a year or two, but there was no news. Now I see these three stones, which are written about him, but I don't know what "going to the pavilion to ask the French king" means. Just met two old people playing chess and found the next town.

"Biography of Jigong" said that these things, as far as the world is concerned, are four words-karma; In Buddhism, if you have sincerity and feelings, there will be retribution. The story of Jigong spread Buddhism to the world. At that time, I saw that if Jigong appeared in the world again, it would be the most needed and the most immediate, and the effect would be better than telling a Hua Yan Jing, which would make people believe in cause and effect. When I preach, I sometimes quote the story in the biography of Jigong. This is an old story I told you today. That was the Song Dynasty, not modern times. I went to Lingyin Temple, and even there was a piece of wood in the wells of Jingci Temple and Jingci Temple.
