Chapter 8

Today is the emperor's favorite thirteenth princess Jiji, but Shen Yuan is called by the queen mother to give a lecture, saying that she is praying for her granddaughter.

Early in the morning, the host led Huiyuan to meditate and recite scriptures. The minister led the family members to sit in a hall designated by the emperor. Hundreds of people packed this not too big hall to the brim.On the left side of the VIP seat in the front are the emperor and a dozen ministers, and on the right are the host, Shen Yuan, Hui Yuan, and the queen mother. The clothes below should be the queen princess and noble ladies.

The host sat on the high platform in front of the Buddha statue, wearing a red cassock embroidered with gold thread, with a dignified expression and a solemn appearance.

Shen Yuan was dressed in ordinary monk's robes, and sat behind the host with a solemn expression. Looking closely, Fa was even more solemn and tall than the host.

When chanting scriptures, even the empress dowager and the emperor followed suit, and only they knew whether they were sincere or not.

At the end of the lecture, Shen Yuan was called by the Queen Mother to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, euphemistically called to ask for advice alone, but the truth is:
The queen mother asked devoutly: "The holy monk said before that everything has a cause and effect, but Aijia doesn't quite understand what is a good result and what is an evil result?"

"Amitabha, there is no definite conclusion about good and evil results. Good and evil are always just a matter of position!" Shen Yuan said calmly.

"Where is your position?" The queen mother seemed to understand but also didn't seem to understand.

"Amitabha! Almighty, killing one person and saving hundreds, is it good or evil?" Shen Yuan asked gently.

The Empress Dowager was stunned, even if she asked such a question to a five-year-old child, the answer she got would definitely be good, if the answer was good!But when the holy monk asked such a question, it seemed unusual!If the answer is evil, but...

"Holy monk?" The queen mother was puzzled.

"Killing one person in order to save a hundred people is indeed mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, and it is also recorded in the scriptures. The Bodhisattva has also done this, but in the heart of the Bodhisattva, it does not mean that today I am saving more There are so many people, killing this one person is nothing! Rather, the Bodhisattva at that time would rather kill him to create evil karma, and I also want to save all living beings. I am willing to bear the retribution of killing him alone, so as to save More people. Therefore, karma is true, and everyone from ordinary people to saints must be responsible for karma. The retribution of saving people is not less than one point, and the retribution of killing people is also not less than one point. For the common people, the actions of Bodhisattvas are good fruits , but to that person it is always evil!"

After listening to Shen Yuan's explanation, the queen mother looked a little confused, and asked Shen Yuan: "Is there really a Buddha in the world?"

"Yes!" Shen Yuan replied firmly.

"Huh?" The queen mother looked at Shen Yuan suspiciously.

"Amitabha, Buddha! He is everywhere, but nowhere to be found!" Shen Yuan followed the gate and looked at the sun in the sky, where it was full of light.

"The holy monk has always been jealous of others calling himself a living Buddha, is it because the holy monk can't find the Buddha?"

"Amitabha Buddha! Poor monks don't need to look for it!"

"Why?"

"Buddha! In my heart!"

The queen mother pondered slightly, and then smiled slightly: "Amitabha! Thank you, holy monk, for clarifying the doubts of Aijia."

The conversation changed, and he suddenly asked: "Holy Monk! What do you think of the thirteenth princess of the Ai Family?"

"Huh?" Shen Yuan was startled, did he still come?

Shen Yuan understands the Queen Mother's intention to ask such a question. Once his answer is ambiguous, soon there will be public opinion in the world that the holy monk has moved everyone's heart. No matter how prestigious he is, he is always a monk, and he cannot and will not threaten that person. Could it be that he can seek to usurp the throne as a monk?

"Amitabha, all living beings are equal!" Shen Yuan pondered slightly, but decided to answer as in his previous life.

"The holy monk means that in your eyes, the thirteenth princess is the same as Aijia and others?" The queen mother asked calmly and dignifiedly, obviously not satisfied with such an answer. How can it be the same as others.

Shen Yuan nodded, indicating that in the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are the same: "In terms of nature, life, changing from evil to good, and transcending the ordinary to become holy, they are all equal."

Shen Yuan answered in a broad sense, so that the queen mother could not find the fault, and the calm face of the queen mother eased a little.

Shen Yuan pondered slightly. In his previous life, Shen Yuan didn't think too much. He clearly and euphemistically pointed out that his heart was devoted to the Buddha. After missing out on the world of mortals, the emperor directly married Princess Ning Xuan to the regent, and that happened later.Afterwards, the regent refused to marry, Princess Ningxuan later got married and Princess Ningxuan committed suicide. In his heart, he had attributed the matter to himself, and he felt so guilty that the Buddha's heart was damaged after rebirth.

Shen Yuan seemed to think of something, and said slowly: "Princess Ning Xuan has a destiny with my Buddha."

"Fate with the Buddha or with the holy monk?" A dark light flashed in the empress dowager's muddy eyes.

"The poor monk is a Buddha, but the Buddha is not a poor monk." Shen Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Huh? Aijia doesn't quite understand. Hasn't the holy monk already returned to vulgarity?" There was a dark light in the Queen Mother's eyes, a little aggressive.

"Amitabha, the poor monk will take refuge in my Buddha sooner or later, but I don't want to make my Buddha dusty when the world is over." Shen Yuan didn't want to hide it.

Empress Dowager clasped her hands together and bowed expressionlessly: "Amitabha!"

"Amitabha! The poor monk will leave!" Shen Yuan left the Compassionate Ning Palace after the Queen Mother nodded.

Watching Shen Yuan leave until he was no longer in sight, the Queen Mother said leisurely: "Is this really the case?"

"Queen! Is there still a place for the royal family in the current world?" The emperor slowly came out from the darkness.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "But he is a holy monk after all!"

"Holy Monk? Oh! Isn't that what I bestowed on you?" the emperor said with a sneer.

The queen mother suddenly realized: "My lord, these years...you did it on purpose!"

The emperor didn't say anything, he just looked at the Buddha statue in the temple with disgusted eyes.

The queen mother looked at such a son, and asked with some concern: "Will you push him to the regent's side?"

"No! Since ancient times, the Buddha and the devil are incompatible." The emperor said firmly.

"Demon?" The queen mother was a little stunned.

"That devil Yinxuan has a demonic heart since he was born. Not only did he kill his brothers, but he also killed his father. Now his demonic heart is soaring, and he has a vain desire for the world." The emperor said angrily with murderous intent in his eyes.

"What!" The Queen Mother was surprised.

"The emperor is blessed by God, whether it is a Buddha or a demon, he can only surrender, otherwise he must be destroyed." The emperor said no more, walked outside the door and looked at the sky, his pupils reflected the sun halo, and murmured.

The queen mother looked at her son, and said with some uncertainty: "But now he's returned to vulgarity!"

"So what!" The emperor disagreed.

At the same time, Shen Yuan, who returned to Fo Ning Hall, looked at the sky and muttered to himself: "There is no way to misfortune or good fortune, but man brings it upon himself, and good and evil are rewarded like a shadow."
