Chapter 2 Buddha Wants You to Rejoice

As told in thousands of stories, Shiraishi is a traverser.

Shiraishi is just the name of his life.

In his last life, he called daylight.

Not a monk, but has a relationship with Buddhism.

In the early years of the family, there were accidents. Later, the parents and elders gradually believed in the Buddha. During the day, they also inevitably received some Buddhist theories and theories.

As a new-generation juvenile man who grew up under the red banner, he was regarded as an atheist during the day, and he did not believe in the unscientific things like gods and spirits in this world.

Therefore, under the influence of the family environment in my last life, although I had a good opinion of the Buddhist theories of persuasion in the daytime, I believed in the theory of karma and was willing to do good things.

But I do n't believe in the existence of the Buddha, or the so-called Western Bliss World.

But a resolute atheist.

First encounter crossing-

Later, on the way to school, when I saw a pedestrian walking, he was pushed by a "kid" and was hit by a car the next moment.

At the scene of the accident, passersby next to him turned a blind eye to "little children", but hurriedly called the police to call an ambulance.

Only the pale-faced child was left standing in the crowd, revealing a demon-like smile ...

I am afraid that the idea of ​​atheism will also shake!

This is a parallel world, and it is no longer Earth!

Obviously, there are ghosts and ghosts here, so it is not impossible to have gods and gods.

And even if the gods and gods don't exist.

In this life, Shiraishi was an orphan picked up by a temple abbot and adopted as an alternate monk from childhood.

Although the temple is broken, the old abbot is a capable person, and the Buddhist scriptures taught to Shiraishi from an early age contain extraordinary powers.

At that time, Shiraishi shouted in anger.

The warmth power that two generations felt for the first time emerged in the body, and the little ghost was overdone on the spot.

Hell is empty and evil spirits are on earth.

What if there is no god?

As long as you believe in your "Buddha in your heart" and do your best to save the world from the sea of ​​suffering, this is countless.

Perhaps this is why I came across!

Shiraishi realized it.

Identified my identity--

As a mortal, save the world!

Anyway, Japanese monks do n't abstain from being ridiculous, do not abstain from femininity, have no clear rules and regulations, or even need to shave ...

As long as you believe in the Buddha, even if you drink and eat meat, marry a wife and have children, you can even play rock, learn to drink, smoke, drink, and burn your head.

From this point of view, it is also "Buddhism" that accepts imported products. Japanese Buddhism has its own characteristics.

For example, there was a famous saying from a Japanese monk who played music in his last life.

"The Buddha doesn't want you to convert, the Buddha wants you to rejoice"

Quite Zen.

Therefore, Japanese monks are just a profession.

Not only is it different from other professions, but also part-time ...

This is why Shiraishi is willing to accept monk status, rather than return to vulgar after graduation, find a job to work.

But, what about good systems?

Doesn't it mean that there will be a system for passersby?

Especially those who have crossed into some special occupations.

In order to allow the traversal to accept a certain identity, a mysterious organization will specifically allocate the system, as long as you dare to leave, you will kill ...

Shiraishi is looking forward to the system.

No matter what the strongest monk system, the strongest temple system, the invincible abbot system, the god-level abbot system ...

Let 's start with one.

Unfortunately, none of them!

Shiraishi has come to this world for two years.

The first year, study and practice.

In the second year, study, practice, and receive some commissions in the spare time to make money ...

Today, Shiraishi is a famous monk as a monk.

But the system still does not appear.

Dead heart.

Sure enough, asking God and Buddha is worse than asking ourselves.

Study hard, improve every day, work hard, practice hard ...

It's right not to think about the pie falling from the sky.

Hesitated.

Shiraishi took the last night subway and returned to the temple, which is also the home of this life.

Tokyo, Shibuya Ward.

This is the most prosperous district in central Tokyo, known as the 24-hour sleepless street.

It was already more than twelve in the night, and it was still brightly lit.

Pedestrians are still hustle and bustle, and the surrounding air is quiet only after walking a few blocks.

What greets you is the huge forest that covers the night city and is covered by night.

It's hard to imagine that in a place as thick as gold in the center of Tokyo, there is a lush forest covering 70 hectares.

Located in this lush forest--

It seems to be the largest shrine in Tokyo and the most visited shrine, the Meiji Jingu Shrine.

Bai Shixiu stepped on the Jinggong Bridge. The stone lantern at the bridge's head has been lit. Under the dim light, the long and solemn stone bridge is dreamlike.

Enviously, she touched the stone bridge of Shijingu, and Shiraishi walked down again.

From a very remote location, I took a path.

The small road was paved with cobblestones, covered with late autumn leaves, and crunching on it.

There were no lights on the roadside, and the moonlight and starlight were also blocked by the shade of the tree.

Vaguely, only the sound of the songbird-

These sounds will fade away with late autumn.

The sheep's intestine trail came to an end before he saw a little light.

Shiraishi walked forward towards the lights.

I saw a run-down temple in the lush woods.

The stone lamp at the door lit, and a faint light shone around.

Under the night, red and white wooden temples have plaques of "Lingming Temple" hanging on them.

The temple only enshrines one Buddha image, the Buddha Shakyamuni.

The Buddha's gold body was slightly dim under the candlelight, and the sloppy gold body was even mottled and the red paint on the wooden pillars was a little discolored.

Except for this, the whole of this small temple looks clean and tidy, with almost no dust.

Behind the temple, along the path, the forest room is a simple wooden house.

There are two wooden huts. One is for the monks to live in. The neighbourhood is the Scripture Pavilion, which is filled with scripture books.

Unimaginable.

In such a small ruined temple, there is a book that needs a whole room to store.

Just like Shiraishi is unimaginable.

Why is there such a small temple with almost no incense next to Meiji Jingu Shrine, the largest shrine in Tokyo?

Counting the abbot and Bai Shixiu who is currently an alternate monk, there are only two monks!

On this issue, Shiraishi asked the abbot more than once.

It's been fooled.

This also confirms that in Shiraishi 's heart, there must be a story behind this small temple-

Isn't that nonsense!

Shiraishi Xiu Xiu, but the scriptures!

Just two years.

Bai Shixiu has good eyes and can penetrate yin and yang.

The whole body is deep in mana, and ordinary ghosts can easily relax.

Is this true scripture a small temple?

With awe in mind and respect for abbots.

Shiraishi washed a little, and quietly pushed open the door of the bedroom, not wanting to disturb the abbot's rest.

But in the dark, the abbot's old but thick voice sounded.

"came back?"

"Ok."

"Just come back and rest."

"Ok."

On a silent night, Shiraishi took off his shoes and lay on his bed.

The abbot is an elderly person, with light sleep and a little movement, he will wake him up from his sleep.

Well, 500,000 yen is really not enough,

You also need to make some money and build another room next door.

In this way, when you return home late, you will not disturb the abbot's rest, and you will have some privacy.
