I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"Little Monk Zongchun, I would like to use this body to practice the six jackfruits, to cure miserliness, greed and afflictions, to give benefit and happiness to all living beings, so that people drown themselves, others are hungry, break through the world of desire and formlessness, and use this body to overcome all living beings from suffering and even to the end. Have peace!"

At that time, standing on the land of Buddhism and Thailand, the great wish made while standing in front of the operating room door echoed in Kato Junko's ears.

"The sentient beings in misery are right in front of us..."

Once, because of the great terror between life and death, one step back before the ambition, it will become an insurmountable moat on the path of practice!

"If I, Zong Chun, shrink back here today, and don't mention that my ambitions are shattered, I am afraid that I will never be able to enlighten Teacher Kukai before the pagoda!"

...

Ten years ago, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City, Heisenji Temple.

"Mr. Kukai, Zongchun has been confused recently."

In the side hall "Fudong Hall", a pink-faced and red-lipped young novice monk respectfully looked at the old monk who closed his eyes and chanted sutras in a low voice.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain. There was an old monk and a young monk..."

"Teacher, the time-space cycle, the causal cycle, the endless truth behind this story, like a giant snake swallowing its tail, you have taught it many times."

Hearing the "automatic repeating Zen machine" that had to be repeated for hours at the beginning, the little monk named "Zong Chun" quickly and softly interrupted the teacher.

"Ahem... Now that's the case, why are you still puzzled?"

"Why, all the seniors can practice 'Sky Eye', but they can't practice supernatural powers when they start themselves...But Zong Chun's aptitude is too dull?"

Taking a deep breath, Zong Chun still bluntly expressed his confusion.

"This day's eye is clairvoyant. Although it is the supreme supernatural power passed down from generation to generation in our Heijian Temple, it hides a great horror far beyond life and death! Although the rest of the brothers have entered this path, the possibility of reaching that level is very small... But You are different!"

Kukai closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, skillfully swirled a few times on Zongchun's "tender head" with excellent touch, and sighed slightly.

"Zong Chun, you are born with awakened inspiration, and your aptitude is rare in Kawasaki Daishiji Temple in a hundred years. In the future, your achievements will definitely be higher than mine... Buddhist supernatural powers are not just one-way cultivation. You can let go and find your own way."

"Amitabha, are you looking for your own way? Zongchun knows..."

Zong Chun hesitated to speak and looked at the teacher who closed his eyes and chanted, his big eyes were still full of puzzlement.

"Besides that, there is one more thing I don't understand."

"Let's talk."

"It is clear that the "Release the Prohibition on Meat Eating Wives" allows monks to grow hair, marry wives, have children, and eat wine and meat. But why, once the monks of Heijian Temple like Brother Soto break the precepts, they have no choice but to return to the vulgar?"

At noon today, Brother Zongto was found outside the temple providing "body purification" service to a female pilgrim...

In the afternoon, he packed his bags and was ruthlessly expelled from the gate of the temple.

Brother Zongteng practiced together with him in the temple since he was a child, and he has a deep relationship with him. Although his spiritual power is weak and his Dharma qualifications are mediocre, his physical skills are very good, especially the one-handed eagle finger skill and the Vairoccan whip technique are the best in the temple.

It is really embarrassing to be driven out of the mountain gate by the master just because of breaking the precept once.

"Zong Chun, let me ask you, what is commandment?"

"Returning to the teacher, Shila said precepts, which means preventing evil, and Brahma means law, which means the law. What the ring should not do, the law is what should be done."

"Why the Five Precepts?"

"Don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't lie, don't drink alcohol."

"What are the Ten Commandments of Saminite?"

"The ten precepts of novice monks are the precepts not to kill, not to steal, not to be sexually explicit, not to lie, not to drink alcohol, to leave high and wide beds, to leave flowers, to leave singing and dancing, to not accumulate gold and silver treasures, and to leave untimely events. Food ring..."

Facing the teacher's questions, Zong Chun fluently recited the clear rules and precepts that he had practiced since childhood and had already been rooted in his heart.

Buddhism has clear rules and precepts, complicated dramas and turmoil, and there are many entries.

The five precepts are the basic precepts of Buddhist disciples, and they should be obeyed no matter they are monks or at home.

The ten precepts of novice monks are the precepts kept by the disciples of novice monks granted by Kawasaki Daishiji Temple.

The monks who seal the bhikkhu are even stricter. They need to receive "full precepts" and follow the eight categories of Parayi, Sangha Poshisha, Uncertainty, Elegance, Single Fall, Polotisheni, Public Learning, and Elimination of Disputes. Two hundred and fifty commandments.

"Precepts are the foundation of the supreme Bodhi, and they are the path and Dharma door for the practice of the seven peoples. If we ordinary people do not adhere to the precepts, it is tantamount to a sea of ​​suffering without a boat..."

"The royal family issued the "Removing the Ban on Meat-Eating Wives" which involved the dispute between Shintoism and our Buddhism.

Kukai whirled the beads in her hand and sighed slightly.

"If you can't keep the five precepts at home and the ten precepts of novice monks, what if you have enough precepts? Rather than let Zong Teng spend his whole life in front of this ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, it is better to practice in the world of mortals, human desires and evil karma. There is a world."

"Being born and entering the world are both practices, and those who get it all have the Tao, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. Just as I don't teach you clairvoyance, you will eventually find your own 'Tao'."

"Those who have won have their own way, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors... So, no matter where you are, the most important thing is to stick to your own way?"

After repeating the teacher's teachings, Zong Chun nodded half-understanding: "The teacher has worked so hard, Zong Chun has been taught."

"The mind and horse run the evil way, and it is difficult to restrain it. The Buddha said that all precepts are like sharp bridles. Precepts are like boats, with beginningless life and death as the shore, body, speech and mind as the middle stream, and the liberation of the three karma as the other shore...Zong Chun, I Let me ask you..."

Kukai got up slowly, stretched out his hand and swayed wantonly on Zongchun's thin and tender green skin a few times, and walked towards his own room...

"When I live in the world, you can still rely on me as your teacher. After I am Nirvana, who should you rely on as your teacher?"

Only Zong Chun, who was meditating deeply, was left alone kneeling in the hall.

"Who is my teacher... Who is there who is more advanced in Buddhism than Master, who can show me where the Tao lies?"

Staring blankly at the Buddha statue in front of him, his big round eyes gradually became enlightened.

...

"I follow my Buddha as my teacher, and walk the way of transforming sentient beings..."

Spinning around in endless desire, Junko Kato, with her long hair flying, muttered to herself with a confused expression.

"Is it wrong after all?"

The "Incarnation of Bliss" on her head is also like a sand sculpture, broken into little pink particles, scattered with the wind...

"The two tauren over there, listen to me... I'm the spirit destroyer Araki Sousuke, codenamed 'The Great Lonely Man of Sujing'..."

Indistinctly, there was a man's noisy roar, which was sent to his ears by the howling wind...

"...You are surrounded by me! ! ! 』

"Is it Araki-kun... It's too late, but it's a pity that I still haven't been able to have a good discussion with you..."

The Buddha nature in Kato Junko's soul finally couldn't bear the influx of desires, and began to collapse...
