Soul Painter

Fragments of inspiration.

The Buddha head in front of Gao Fan.

It is shaped like auspicious clouds, majestic like pearls and jade, kind like spring breeze, and profound like the ocean. If you turn it slightly, you will have a different perception, but each perception is full of infinite compassion and compassion.

It has a completely different look and feel from the elk.

Gao Fan can be regarded as a person who has witnessed the true face of the cat. Although it was mentioned by 'Lü', what he painted was not the great existence of the cat, but only a ceremony. In contrast, it is particularly distinctive.

These are two great beings with completely different qualities.

Elk cats were the inspiration.

Buddha is compassion.

It's just that the Buddha has not yet fully formed in Gao Fan's inspiration.

Except that the head changes to Gao Fan who can understand and touch it, and it will not lose the form of San.

Every part of its body is still indescribably terrifying, the Buddha disc formed by the spine on the back, the small insects swimming on it, the fleshy tentacles dancing and whirling on the body, and the long long nails under the feet The gathered thrones are invading Gao Fan's reason.

Gao Fan couldn't hold on for long, and he would lose his sanity too quickly, and he would have to quit the inspiration fragments.

Now, although his solo exhibition is held in the Empire State Building in New York, it cannot compare with the traffic flow of the Metropolitan Museum, and the sanity points he can contribute to him every day are less than 10 points.

And the creation of AA, um, this is very interesting. In the creation of AA, Gao Fan can also receive sanity points. Although the system does not give the source of each sanity point, those '+0.5', '+0.5' The appearance time of sanity value is the time when the auction of AA works starts, and its source should come from the public's appreciation of Ana Armas' paintings.

The Demon School seems to have a pyramid scheme structure, probably because all the mysteries of the paintbrushes in their hands come from the same source, and they are all silver keys.

One is in view of this, and the other is that the subject of the painting "The Great Existence: Buddha" has not yet been fully seen and is still in a high-risk state. Gao Fan asked AA to create in Boston with peace of mind and provide him with some support.

In short, at this moment, all the SAN value gains are added together, which is around 10 o'clock every day, which is barely enough for Gao Fan to experience the excitement in the inspiration every day.

The key now is to draw the Buddha from the neck down... Forced drawing will not work, it is too rational.

The Buddha obviously wants Gao Fan to be more pious.

But I've already shaved my head and parted with love... What should I do next? While Gao Fan was thinking, he began his formal "practice" at the Great Ku Temple.

I can't think about Xin Wei, my heart hurts when I think about it.

...

Miao Chan treated Gao Fan very well.

He even gave up his meditation room to Gao Fan, and specially prepared a set of painting tools for Gao Fan.

"But regarding the food, Layman Gaofan, you have to understand that we all eat the same food." Miao Chan said.

"It's okay, I don't eat too much." Gao Fan said.

Eat less, but did not expect so little.

Dakusi only eats one meal a day.

...

The third day of being a monk.

Gao Fan finished his lunch, or it should be called Lunch.

Lunch is lavender soba noodles, poured with a vegetable soup made of kelp, tomato, cucumber shreds, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, eggplant stewed potatoes, cold dishes mixed with cucumber and peanuts, and fried tofu and tofu Gao Fan took a bowl the size of a washbasin, filled it to the brim, and spent forty minutes eating it all up.

This made Lawrence, who always felt that Gao Fan ate too little, like eating cat food, said that he was not hungry.

After dinner, Gao Fan took a sketchbook in one hand and God in the other, and went for a walk in the back of the mountain.

The mountain behind the Daku Temple is a big construction site.

Since it has only been twenty years since Miao Chan and the Sangha stayed in the Daku Temple, and the Daku Temple has only begun to flourish in recent years, it is also in the past few years that people have just started to repair the temple, fill in the halls and build towers.

At this moment, standing on the hillside, Gao Fan looked down, and suddenly felt that his vision was wide open. He saw a large number of men and women who were obviously not workers, carrying sandbags, stacking steel bars, and delivering bricks on the construction site.

Daku Temple has a construction team that all contractors in the world would envy: a layman who only eats one meal a day, sleeps for four hours, works eight to ten hours for free, and is always full of energy.

"Working is probably a way to get closer to Buddhism?" Gao Fan thought.

...

Late at night.

Gao Fan clutched his belly and lay on the wooden bed, feeling uncomfortable everywhere.

Still hungry.

It's all because of too much work in the afternoon.

When the physical strength is exhausted, the stomach will be hungry quickly.

In fact, no one asked Gao Fan to work, and in fact, no one asked any layman to work, but everyone seemed to regard it as practice and enjoyed it.

Gao Fan met a big sister who had only one thumb on her right hand. It is said that she used to be an assembly line worker and lost four fingers due to an accident. But this big sister was extremely optimistic and strong. At the top of five, she has been working in Daku Temple for three full years, but she is not a layman and has been in the trial period.

Others said that this elder sister could not pass the probationary period. The Buddhist Association stipulated that a monk must meet two requirements.

There is also a saying that disability is caused by karma, and one cannot be transformed if one is entangled in karma.

Gao Fan could see a calm and strong vitality in her.

There is also an old lady who suffers from heart disease, so the temple does not allow her to "put orders" here. Miao Chan's disciple, Qinzhou, is also the supervisor of the construction site. He has to invite her out several times. The foreman thinks that the old lady is fine, but I can't compete with the temple, but the old lady has a coup. She rented a house on the side of the mountain, eats her own food every day, works here in the afternoon, and goes back to chant sutras by herself at night.

There are hundreds of thousands of similar stories, and every layman who is 'listing' here has his own story.

The reason why Daku Temple is known as the "No. 1 Daoist Temple in the World" is where its credibility lies.

Gao Fan originally did not participate in the labor according to Miao Chan's request, but he was infected by such a hot atmosphere, rolled up his sleeves and jumped into the construction site, so the foreman assigned him to the brick moving team. As a result, Gao Fan felt that he was It seemed that a layer of skin had been peeled off, but he wanted to save face, and persisted until the evening, almost crawling back to the meditation room.

Now, Gao Fan lives in the best meditation room in Daku Temple—Miao Chan was squeezed out to live with his disciples, and now he is hungry, flipping through a few paintings he drew.

He used 'distortion', but the characters in the painting are still normal people.

"They don't have desires..." Gao Fan muttered.

It's amazing.

...

It's two o'clock in the morning.

The bells in the Great Ku Temple are melodious.

The monks and the laymen who placed orders here all got up and washed one after another.

In the darkness, Qin Zhou stood in the yard, frowning as he looked at the original abbot's Zen room.

"Don't call Layman Gao Fan." Miao Xiang walked behind Qin Zhou and said, "Let him sleep until he wakes up naturally."

"Abbot." Qinzhou said, "Isn't it too bad manners?"

"Layman Gao Fan is not an ordinary person..." Before Miao Chan finished speaking, the door of the meditation room opened with a 'squeak', and Gao Fan came out rubbing his eyes.

"Layman Gao Fan has Su Hui." Miao Chan said to Gao Fan with a smile, "Amituofo."

"Mitofo..." Gao Fan returned the salute, bewildered, "Abbot, what does it mean to ring the bell in the middle of the night? It's on fire?"

...

Gao Fan was dragged into the queue in front of the Buddha Hall in a daze.

Then everyone circled the Buddha statue together.

Later, Gao Fan knew that this was called Xingxiang. The standard posture is not to move the upper body, but only shakes one hand, and walks faster and faster, just like Naruto...

After walking for twenty minutes, Gao Fan woke up completely.

Then one person and one worship mat, and began to meditate. Gao Fan looked at the male laymen around him, the high level double cross--two feet on each knee, the normal horizontal single-cross-one foot on the other Only one knee, but Gao Fan didn't have a leg, he really couldn't put his feet on either knee.

Even so, after sitting for an hour, I still feel numb.

After listening to a loud noise, it was over.

But this is not the end, this is the beginning, followed by the morning class, a group of masters walked in brown cassocks, with wide robes and large sleeves to guide the wind, and the full moon hung high in the night sky, like a group of gods, 'the gods They' led Gao Fan's lay team to the main hall, and started the morning class, that is, chanting scriptures. Gao Fan couldn't understand it at all, and it sounded so hypnotic...he fell asleep.

Waiting to wake up.

Going to work again.

The sky was bright, and the laymen on the construction site were already working hard. In addition to the male laymen, the female laymen who lived in the nearby village also joined the team. Gao Fan saw the one who could hold five of him The elder sister, still waving her fingerless hand, greeted him.

"Amituofo!" Duzhi elder sister greeted Gao Fan.

Gao Fan felt that she called out the momentum of fighting against Buddha.

Gao Fan was very interested in these laymen who still maintained their human form in Gao Fan's "distorted" vision. He began to open his sketchbook and try to describe their appearance.
