Chapter 380: Compassion in the Thousand Buddhas Temple(2/2)

The owner of this family was very angry and thought to himself: "I gave you so much food for free, and I never thought of you in return. Not only did you not thank me, you also regarded me as your enemy."

Later, the two families, who had a good relationship, became enemies and never interacted with each other until death.



After hearing this, Master Yuanzhen sighed heavily and said leisurely: "When a person is hungry and cold, if you give him a bowl of rice, it will solve a major issue of his life and death, and he will be extremely grateful."

"It's just that if you continue to give him rice, he will take it for granted."

"One bowl of rice is not enough, two bowls of rice is not enough, three bowls, four bowls, five or six bowls still feel like you have only given a drop in the ocean."

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's silence, the old monk couldn't help but continue: "Let me tell you a story too."

It is said that one day, a monk saw a scorpion falling into the water.

The monk was about to save the scorpion, but when he touched it, the scorpion pricked his finger.

Although the Zen master was stung very painfully by the scorpion, he still came to the rescue again. Unexpectedly, he was stung severely by the scorpion again.

At this time, a pedestrian on the roadside said: "Monk, it keeps pricking you, why do you need to save it?"

The monk sighed and said quietly: "It is the nature of a scorpion to sting people, and it is the nature of the Buddha to be compassionate. How can I give up the nature of compassion of the Buddha because of the nature of the scorpion?"

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, looked at the old monk Yuan Zhen and replied seriously: "I am not a Buddha yet, I cannot be like a monk."

The old monk smiled faintly: "I can't do this either, so I'm not a Buddha yet."

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, and replied seriously: "I would like to be the angry-eyed King Kong who subdues demons!"
