The Buddhist Story "Five": Failure and Loss

One day, when the Buddha was cruising in the air, he accidentally took a look at the lower bound, only to find that there was a temple in a deformed valley, where the sound of wooden fish kept coming and going, the fragrant fog lingered around, and the chanting echoed in the valley. Look again, the pilgrims are crowded with people, each with a look of admiration, pious worship of Buddha, great joy in their hearts, and leaving with the incarnation of jade ornaments.

Go to the Buddhist temple and the Buddha pays homage.

On the beam of the Buddhist temple, there is a big spider bead net, which has been here for about 1000 years. I have been listening to Buddha chanting for several months all the year round, and I have been smoked for several months all the year round. I have a Buddhist nature. I am puzzled to see the Buddha prostrate himself before me. I flew down from the beam and became a child. I came to Runyu's son and whispered, Why do you worship yourself? The son looked at the child and said, I am begging myself. Huh? Begging yourself? This time, it's the child's turn to be puzzled, alas! You have a thousand years of experience, don't you smell it? Better to rely on yourself than to go to others for help.

Let me ask you: What is the most precious thing in the world? Hearing this, the spider bent down and looked back: If you can't lose yourself and yourself, it's empty. What is there to cherish, Buddha? Watching the faithful men and women coming and going, they came to the temple and bowed down to you and all the bodhisattvas. Why did you come? Why? Things you can't get, such as money and love. Things you want to lose, such as health and relatives. Oh, I see. You continue to understand here, and I will come again.

After another thousand years, the Buddha "one day in the sky, one year on earth" came to the temple again, asking the same questions, and so did spiders.

Suddenly one day, a gust of wind wrapped a drop of dew and landed on the spider web. Looking at the crystal dew, I was happy and gradually fell in love with it.

Unfortunately, a few days later, a long wind and dew were taken away, and the spider was heartbroken.

Once again, the Buddha came to see a spider with a broken heart and no love, and lamented that this spider was so abrasive that it was still impenetrable after three thousand years of competition. Let me give her a hand. Didn't you say jade can't be pecked away? Send her to earth, experience, experience!

She was reincarnated in the home of a court official. When she was 16 years old, she became an elegant and beautiful peerless beauty named Spider.

There is a girl in my family who just grew up and hid in the boudoir.

It happened that the emperor decided to marry the top scholar of the dynasty, and it was time to take out the ladies who were high officials in the court, take their families to the garden and hide in the boudoir all the year round.

Spider spiders are no exception. Look at the red robe, like the dew of Pan An, and the spider is heartbroken. However, Ganlu and its mother walked beside her and simply said a few words to the spider's mother, but Ganlu didn't even look at the spider. What he was thinking was Princess Changfeng.

Looking at the wedding of Ganlu and Princess Changfeng, she followed Ganlu to her post. Spiders linger on their sickbeds without thinking about tea or eating rice. She is getting haggard and confused. When she learned the news from the servant's mouth, Prince Cao came to visit, and sobbed in the spider's ear: Spider, I went to the garden to say goodbye, and all my dreams were about you. How did I get so sick? If you want to leave, I will definitely not work hard. I will accompany you on the way to the grave.

Buddha arrival, spider, what is the most precious thing in the world? At this moment, do you still stubbornly think that you can't get it and lose yourself? If so, I'll solve the mystery of 3 thousand years for you.

Over the past 3,000 years, you have practiced on the beams of Buddhist temples, chanted and smoked incense for years, which greatly increased your Buddha nature. You are not greedy or angry, but you are stupid. The nectar that took it to the Buddhist temple and left it on the pearl-seeking website is Changfeng. Changfeng can bring, and will eventually take away. It's no use liking it again. He belongs to his parents, not to you.

Look at Prince Cao in front of you. He is just an ordinary grass in front of the Buddhist temple. For three thousand years, you have been listening to the scriptures, and he has been listening to them. You are enjoying the incense mist, and so is he. Your Buddha nature is wide open, so is his Buddha nature. The difference is that he must wither, the grass is yellow, and he must hibernate. Then, they grow taller in the spring breeze.

Three thousand years, countless hibernation, countless times they are tall again in the spring breeze, and the reason that supports him to survive all the time is you. For three thousand years, countless days and nights, he looked up at you, but you never looked at him, just like Ganlu never looked at you.

At this time, do you still think that the most precious thing in the world will be lost if you can't get it? The spider cried: no, Buddha, the most precious thing in the world is that it is not something you can't get or lose, but what you have in front of you, and that is your most precious thing.

Buddha smiled kindly, Confucianism, and then drifted away.
