I tell a story to my mother.

The song "Go home and have a look" sings the voice of our wandering "river and lake prodigals" all the year round-yes, our parents are nearly seventy years old in their hometown countryside, and when they reach middle age, they usually go back to their hometown to see them every Spring Festival. ...

This summer vacation, I will have the opportunity to take my high school children back to my hometown to see my elderly parents. After dinner, chatting together at the dinner table and telling their stories in different places is also a great pleasure in life!

This morning, at breakfast, my mother and I sat on a small square table in the yard of our hometown, ate breakfast cooked by my mother all morning, and talked about things at home while eating-

Mom said that the family that can fish in the village sometimes earns 10 thousand yuan a day and catches a lot of fish. Those small fish and flowers mixed together in the fishing net can't sell well, so they are all thrown aside and piled up like hills, and thrown away as garbage; Only those larger fish that can fetch a price are picked out and transported to the county town for sale that day.

Mother talked about the children in this family who made a fortune by fishing:

There is a man and a woman, and the girl is the boss of their family. After graduating from school, she worked as a financial officer in a company in Hangzhou and was appreciated by her boss. There are even rumors that her boss will pass on the company to her to manage the operation.

What happened afterwards? Mom said it didn't take long for the scenery to stop and she went home-

Back to my hometown, I married an unknown little boy who made billboards for a living. She "marries a chicken with a chicken" and takes care of the billboard business with her husband in the rain every day. ......

My sister is the eldest in their family, but as my brother, their family is the youngest. So what?

Mom said it wasn't that bad. After graduating from school, I found relationships and contacts, and spent a lot of money on gifts before I became a soldier. After three years as a soldier, I haven't made any progress. After demobilization, find someone, get married and have children, that's all.

I told my mother that people like their family who fish all the year round and catch turtles and turtles are not good for the next generation or even for themselves.

Mom said that there seems to be nothing wrong with their family in recent years. ...

I said, that's not the time to lose. When I was lucky in recent years, I didn't see any big problems. However, when it comes to decline, it will be very different!

Then, I told my mother a story about watching the tide in Qiantang River:

I said: I used to take my mother to Hangzhou for a short stay. My mother must have heard of Qian Jiangchao, right?

Mother nodded and said, yes, I have heard of it. ...

When the tide rises, the waves are higher than each other, which is unstoppable, majestic and thunderous. This scene is really beautiful, right?

I wonder how many people go to see Qian Jiangchao every year. And over the years, Qian Jiangchao swept away, also don't know how many!

Mom said: yes, turn around and wave, a wave hit my face, I couldn't dodge, so I was swept into the sea by the wave.

That's right! A group of people were swept away by the tide, more than 20, and one of them was swept away by the tide and quickly washed back to the shore by the tide-

Legend has it that when these people saw the Dragon King, the Dragon King flew into a rage and said to them, "You used to fish and shrimp at the water's edge, and you robbed me of a lot of aquarium! Today is the time when you are reported! "

These people asked, then why was one sent back to the shore and let him go?

The dragon king casually said that the man, who had just checked, was caught by mistake. He didn't fish my fish tank as recklessly as you did, so he immediately put it back to him!

After telling this story, I remembered another story about a fisherman who also happened on the Qiantang River-

I told my mother that a fisherman caught a very, very huge fish by the river a few years ago, so that he never caught a big fish!

Seeing that the long line was almost finished, he used his quick wits, tied this end of the long line to his waist and turned around the telephone pole or lamppost on the shore several times, trying to pull the big fish up in this way.

Because he always refuses to give up, and the big fish always drags a long line to the deep water. Finally, the fish dragged the fisherman from the pole that had been wound several times into the water. The fisherman didn't catch a big fish, but he was caught by the fish-drowned in the water!

This is a true story. At that time, many people in Qianjiang, Hangzhou knew about it! There seems to be a lot of news reports about it!

Speaking of karma, I will tell my mother the following story:

I said that the abbot of the temple where I meditated graduated from Wuhan University when he was young and then worked in Hangzhou.

Later, at the age of 39, he became a monk and was destined to follow a 90-year-old abbot who came to Zhejiang from Wutai Mountain to practice in this newly-built temple in Zhejiang.

Mother said, how did you become a monk at the age of 39 after finishing college?

I said, this is his fate, too! The fortune teller counted his life, and every time he counted it to 39, he couldn't count on it! -if he didn't become a monk this year, maybe something will happen in his life, and his life will be over!

I told my mother that before he became a monk at the age of 39, he once became a monk at the age of 33, and his mother asked him to give her a grandson-

He had to do so, got married soon after returning home and gave birth to a son. The child was raised by his mother only a few months ago and became a monk for the second time at the age of 39.

His wife also went to a buddhist nun in Wutai Mountain at the same time. The remaining only son was brought up by his mother. Now he is about 22 years old and studying in Hangzhou!

Before becoming a monk at the age of 39, he helped his father catch fish at the seaside.

At that time, he was particularly good at fishing. Before fishing, he would say to the sea, "Fish, fish, please stay away from fate, and stay when fate comes!" " ——

In other words, which fish's life has come to an end, then stay in his fishing net; If you don't have a long life, please leave by yourself!

After repeating this several times, every time he cast a net, the fish on the net were very big and mature, with no fry and no small fish flowers! Even he himself feels very strange about it!

Before becoming a monk, the abbot once killed a big pig for the eldest brother's family!

Once upon a time, when he returned to his hometown from Hangzhou during the Spring Festival, he was catching up with his eldest brother's family to kill the pig.

According to his later memories, pigs were very, very big, tall and strong at that time! So many people in the pigsty tried to help the butcher drive it out of the pigsty, but they didn't succeed; Everyone tried their best, but they still circled in the pigsty!

At this time, his mother saw him coming back and asked him for help.

He said, mom, it's okay for you to let me help my brother's family do other things, so it's not appropriate for me to help this thing!

His mother urged him to go, saying that his eldest brother couldn't handle it at the moment. As your brother, you just got back. How can you not help?

Only at the urging of his mother, he reluctantly came to the pigsty of his eldest brother.

I saw how many people gathered around this tall and strong big fat pig, but I couldn't figure it out. Big fat pig couldn't get out of the pigsty!

When everyone saw him coming, they all made way, and he came to the pig.

He walked around the pig, stroking the pig's body and head, chanting, and said to the pig:

"Pig, pig, today is your time, and it's time for you to die. I'll see you off well, and you'll be good. Stop tossing! "

Like this, the pig seems to understand! Then, it slowly walked to the door of the pigsty.

Everyone was quiet at once, and everyone followed the pig and followed out of the pigsty door.

He walked behind the pig first, and his eldest brother and butcher followed him around. Then there was a long line of onlookers, about dozens of people-everyone just followed the pig in a mighty way. Who has ever seen this? !

I saw this pig walking slowly to the front yard of Big Brother's house, and people behind him talked about it. Someone whispered to his big brother, "Does this pig know where your home is?" ! "

His eldest brother also felt strange and said, it doesn't know where my home is! This pig has been in the pigsty since he was a child and has never been to my door! It's a long way from his big brother's pigsty to his yard.

Seeing that this pig consciously came to Big Brother's house and became familiar with it, the slaughtered vats and door panels were already prepared in the yard.

Everyone saw the pigs coming to the vat and began to prepare for the next "slaughter action".

Just as the butcher was about to kill the first knife, he turned his head away from the scene and said, "Run!" " probably ......

However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the pig's voice! I turned around and found that the butcher had done it three times, five times and twice!

It turned out that the pig had died in an instant before the butcher killed it! So it didn't even scream when it was slaughtered!

Someone asked him what happened to the pig that day. He casually pointed to the next village not far away and said, this village is going to have a baby!

Hearing this sentence, the busybody actually ran to the village not far away to inquire. Sure enough, the busybody excitedly came to tell him that the next day, the village really gave birth to a child!

I told my mother that this abbot became a monk at the age of 39 and worshipped the abbot who came to Zhejiang from Wutai Mountain at the age of 90 as a teacher.

After they practiced in the newly-built temple here in Zhejiang for several years, the teacher's father predicted that they would die soon-

As an apprentice, the abbot is very reluctant to let his father die so early.

He was sincere to keep the teacher's father, but he refused. Finally, he made a wish to exchange his 20 years of life for the teacher's father to stay in the world for another 3 years, so the teacher's father had to silently promise-

In the following month, the abbot's beard gradually turned white, so that it was all white in less than a month! It's incredible!

Ten years later, he is almost 60, and he is still floating in vain-

At this point in the story, I turned on my mobile phone and showed my mother a photo taken with the white-bearded abbot who was nearly sixty years old before coming back from the summer vacation.

I enlarged the face of the host in the mobile phone photo, so that my mother could see the white beard on his face carefully. It really is white!

I told my mother that in 2008, the master of the white beard abbot died at the age of 95.

The old abbot who came to Zhejiang from Wutai Mountain died at the age of 95. After sitting in the cylinder for three years, the cylinder opened after three years. Everyone has seen that he has reached the indestructible body! Even a new small front tooth is clearly visible!

Later, everyone invited the old abbot's body out of the jar and gave him gold. Now this body bodhisattva is still enshrined in the temple! You mean magical? !

Mother was silent and thoughtful after hearing this. ...
