After I came to Guangzhou, the worker who taught me how to get on the job at the automobile factory was named Li Shilin, but he was not the resentful president like me. My progress in getting on the job was not ideal, and more importantly, I still couldn’t adapt to the transition from school to work. Good.

Li Shilin is a very gentle person here. Even if I was slow and made mistakes, he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he was more patient.

In a blink of an eye, the night before the break came, Li Shilin asked me if I wanted to go to the team building barbecue. Naturally, I would avoid such activities because of my social anxiety, but Li Shilin insisted on letting me go with him. I had no choice but to find an excuse to avoid it.

. Seeing that I persisted, he stopped forcing me.

The other people in the dormitory went back first the next night because they were on a different shift than me. Only I didn’t get up until noon the next day because of the evening shift. Looking at the deserted house, my heart suddenly became lonely.

, when I go out to eat, I don’t see many familiar people.

With nothing to do, I came up with an idea. Since I have come to Guangzhou, I might as well see the scenery of the Guangzhou metropolis.

However, I was suddenly confused about where to go. Finally, when I was going out, I saw a circle of friends. Yunkong said that he was in Xilai'an today, so I thought it would be better to go find him and see how evil Liwan Square is.

.

When I came to Xilai'an, my impression of the thousand-year-old temple suddenly collapsed. I originally thought that Xilai'an, as an ancient temple built by Bodhidharma a thousand years ago and now the first of the four major Buddhist jungles in Guangzhou, should have a positive outlook.

Big, majestic, solemn and solemn.

But now I think too much. I didn't go in through the main entrance, and when I entered the ancient alley on one side, I could see that there was a cave inside. Looking to the left, I saw a Bodhidharma Hall. In a corner, I saw a yellow

Yunkong, who was wearing a monk's robe, was being pulled by several pilgrims to chat.

I wouldn't be so rude, I would just go up and interrupt them. Seeing that they were very excited about chatting, I thought that Yun Kong wouldn't be able to escape that quickly anyway, so I simply walked away by myself.

First I came to Bodhidharma Hall, and after I came out, I casually walked into a side room where a Buddha statue was enshrined. Based on my little knowledge of Buddhism at the time, I judged that this Buddha statue should be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Looking at the Buddha statue, it seemed as if a pair of extremely wise eyes were looking at me. I didn’t know why I felt this way, so I just murmured: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

A voice sounded from behind: "In the Mahayana Mahayana Collection Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra, it is said that he is 'calm and immovable like the earth, and his meditation is as deep and secret as the secret treasure'. Therefore, he is called 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva'."

I turned around and saw that it was Master Yunkong whom I hadn't seen for a long time. He smiled and said, "I thought I was wrong. I didn't expect to see you here." But I didn't say much, but looked at Ksitigarbha.

The king's Buddha statue also said: "I heard that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made a great wish: If the hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha until all sentient beings are saved, and then I can realize Bodhi. If I don't save all the people in the world, I will never become a Buddha."

After saying that, I realized that there was something wrong with the way I dealt with people. If I were someone else, I would probably be a little dissatisfied in my heart. Fortunately, Yunkong didn't care too much about it. Instead, he was very grateful to me for asking the question about Buddha.

Interested, he replied: "In order to save all the people in the world, Ksitigarbha lives in the underworld for a long time and saves the suffering people in reincarnation."

I don’t know why I would have such thoughts, and it’s even harder to imagine saying it, “You can obviously become a Buddha and become an ancestor if you take the next step, but why do you have to embarrass yourself so much?” As soon as I said these words, I knew that I seemed to have made a mistake again.

What is even more worrying is saying this in front of Ksitigarbha Buddha statue.

Yunkong smiled slightly, but didn't have any special reaction, and said: "Everyone's pursuit is different. Maybe the Buddha also has his own troubles."

I was surprised: "Don't you believe in Buddhism? You can actually talk like this?"

Yunkong said: "Throwing away those legends, I feel that Buddha is a philosophical way of thinking about life." Then he looked at the Buddha statue and said slowly: "Look at the world today, which monastery is a pure and holy place.

Living in this troubled world, different people have different worries and attachments, so it would be nice to find a sense of freedom and tranquility."

I felt something about what he said. Everyone has his or her own self. My trouble is poverty, and my persistence is wanting to live a better life. I could hear that Yun Kong’s words seemed to have other meanings, so I asked again.

: "What is your persistence?" If I were to give you my impression of him, this man should be calm and free from worries.

Although Yunkong lost his parents when he was young, he was raised by relatives and never suffered from being dependent on others. Instead, he relied on his own brains to thrive among others. He even got into a good university and worked hard for others. As for when he grew up,

It is also about escaping into Buddhism and being liberated from the secular world. I am of a low level, and I really can’t think of what worries and attachments a person with his mentality can have. I can’t just want to become a Buddha and achieve enlightenment, and become a generation of eminent monks.

In my eyes, the solution to all worries is money.

Yun Kong, who has always liked to be mysterious, was very honest this time, pointing to the eight tall buildings outside like coffins: "My obsession is it, this square."

I remembered that Liao Lanlan told me that his parents both jumped to their deaths in Liwan Square in a strange way. After thinking about it, I still couldn't help but said: "You can't let go of the death of your parents?"

As I asked, I followed Yun Kong to the small stall next to me and sat down, listening to his story.

Yunkong bought two bottles of Coke, handed one to me, opened the other one and took a sip, and then said: "Actually, I don't have much memory of things before I was eight years old."

I asked: "Have you hit your brain and lost your memory?"

Yunkong said: "You have watched too many TV series and movies. In fact, I was possessed by an evil spirit. For eight years, my body did not belong to me."

After hearing this, I thought to myself without expression: "I'm afraid you've watched too many TV series and movies about this plot, and it's also a domestic suspense horror film." But this time I was smart enough not to say it out loud.

Yunkong looked at the eight high-rise buildings in Liwan Square outside and said slowly: "I heard from my uncle and aunt that they took me to many places when nothing happened to them, but none of them solved my problem. Until I

After my parents jumped off the building, they came to Xilai'an to find me and found that they had returned to normal and had normal thinking ability."

"After that, I often came to Xilai'an, hoping to find some answers from the masters and the others. However, they never told me what happened back then."

"I know all the Buddhist verses and the principles, but there are some things that I can't just ignore if I don't want to. And one thing I also understand very well is that if I continue to pursue the things involved, some of the causes and effects will be unbearable.
