Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 384, Lecture

"Dharma meeting? Is someone coming to Xiangtou Mountain to listen to scriptures?"

Li Yun looked at the information on his phone in disbelief, and was also a little surprised. He held a Daoist Dharma meeting in Xiangtou Mountain, and sat down to discuss the Dao. It was still a Dharma meeting headed by Sanqingguan.

The nature of this is the same as the lectures in Dalin Temple. It is centered on the Sanqing Temple, and people from the surrounding Buddhist and Taoist schools are called to listen to the lectures. The difference from the last Sanhui Day is that this time almost the Taoist temples in the entire city , and a small number of abbots of Buddhist temples will come to listen to the scriptures and listen to their own lectures.
In the past, it has always been represented by Xuan Li, the branch president of the Taoist Association, the owner of the Zhengming Temple and the funder of the association branch. Let those learned and old Taoists born in the world say that the venue is held in the Zhengming Temple. The Sanqing Temple is held, or let yourself preach the scriptures.
At least it shows that, from Xuanli's point of view, the Sanqing Temple is qualified to host this discussion.

"It seems that the prestige of the Sanqing Temple among the Taoists is already full, and this time there are Buddhists listening to the lectures and discussing the Tao together, but we must cherish this opportunity."

Li Yun immediately replied to WeChat to express his agreement, and Xuanli also sent a funny emoji.

"Uh, I guess he wants to show a smiley face." Li Yun couldn't laugh or cry, and turned off the phone screen.

After half a day, Xuanli drove to the Taoist temple.

"Guanzhu Yun, I'm sorry, I decided this on my own." Xuanli said apologetically.

Li Yun shook his head with a smile.

"Thank you before it's too late. It is the blessing of the poor Taoist to pass on the ideas of the poor Taoist to all the fellow Taoists and to contribute to the Taoism."

At this time, Li Yun's face was shining with solemnity and pious brilliance, which made Xuanli feel that this is the real Taoist power.

Li Yun was thinking in his heart, pass on the idea, keep the power of the will, and earn blood——

"Haha, nowhere, Guanzhu Yun's understanding of Dao is not so deep. The Guanzhu of Liufeng Temple has already told me that in just a few days, my little nephew Mingye understood so much. There are so many things, that is the insight she has not educated for more than ten years." Xuanli sighed, and said at the same time: "The time will be set in a week, and the poor will let Xuanshan and Xuanhui two little guys come to help You, you should also prepare well here, and prepare a grand Daoist Dharma meeting for fellow Taoists."

Li Yun nodded. It is not easy to arrange the venue. The pilgrims must be notified in advance, and futons that can accommodate many people must be arranged in front of the main hall. Fortunately, the space of the medium-sized Taoist temple is not small, at least larger than the venue of Dalin Temple much.

"Then it's settled. At that time, no matter whether it is the eminent monk of Dalin Temple or the head of Kongming Temple, they will come to listen to the lectures, but ordinary disciples should not come. This time, they are all from our Buddhist and Taoist families. .” Xuanli smiled.

Li Yun understood that unlike Dalin Temple, this Taoist sect does not have many so-called special pilgrims. Taoist preaching is just Taoist preaching. Next, anyone who is interested can come at any time.

Unlike Buddhist pilgrims, the vast majority of Taoist pilgrims have no interest in the so-called Taoist scriptures, the unity of man and nature, and seeking the Tao.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xuanli also left in a hurry, talking about the invitation letter. In the next few days, some people received the invitation letter and expressed their willingness to come, and some Buddhist temples expressed their lack of interest and declined, such as the empty The abbot of Ming Temple only said that he would send the first one to come.

The surrounding Taoist temples all expressed their interest, and agreed to come to see how the Taoist temple discusses Taoism.

A week later, the invited people poured in
Looking at the bleak scene in the Taoist temple before the start, Li Yun felt as if he had returned to the past, when the Taoist temple didn't even have half a pilgrim.

Li Yun was a little helpless about this, and used the wind blowing technique to put the pieces of futon on the ground, and at the same time swept away the surrounding fallen leaves, and said.

"Sure enough, the pilgrims are not interested in preaching. The floor is cleaner than my bed sheets today."

"When I went to Dalin Temple last time, many ordinary pilgrims were interested in teaching Buddhist scriptures, but they couldn't get in without an invitation letter. We simply don't have any pilgrims interested." Han Xiang also arranged the venue, Said helplessly.

"The lectures of our Taoist school are different. In terms of results, our Taoist sutras are more like a straightforward philosophy class, while the Buddhist sutras are more like telling a story, a life, and exploring the Buddha from the story. and Zen theory." Li Yun said with a smile: "Similarly, the scriptures and meanings described by most Taoists are more like seeking the way of heaven and man, some seemingly illusory things, or thousands of people, or obscure, and vice versa. , Buddhism is much more straightforward, the central idea is to save others, to sacrifice oneself for others, to practice asceticism and self-denial, and to practice in the next life.”

"I prefer Taoist schools with thousands of people and faces. Everyone has a Tao in their hearts, and even the Taoist temples all strive for different goals." Han Xiang said, holding her chin.

"Zen and truth may be different, but they still lead to the same goal in the end. What they pursue in the end is the Tao in their hearts. It's just that Buddhism has realized the props in this heart, and it is more straightforward. It strives for the way of [crossing people], and It conveys the principles of Zen to the world," Li Yun said with a smile.

Hearing Li Yun's words, Hanxiang looked at Li Yun with adoring eyes and said, "Senior brother is so amazing, your lecture this time will definitely impress everyone."

Li Yun had a different smile on his face than before, and said with his arms crossed.

"Actually, little junior sister, there is one thing that senior brother wants to correct."

"What's the matter, senior brother." Hanxiang said innocently.

"Actually, from a week ago until now, I don't know what to say later." Li Yun said confidently,

Most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, the smile on Hanxiang's face gradually disappeared.

"Then what about the lecture later?"

"What can we do, cold salad, hahaha!" Li Yun put his hands on his back, and said with a proud smile: "Don't panic, it's just some small things."

Hanxiang thought, who knows why her senior brother is still smiling proudly, full of confidence, obviously he hasn't even decided what to say!

"Okay, little junior sister, wait a minute and entertain all the fellow Taoists." Li Yun stood up and stretched his body.

"Brother, where are you going?" Hanxiang said, it was still long before the lecture started.

"Go for a workout"
