In the village of Uy Vien of Nguyen Cong Tru, there is a temple and the abbot here is a man of great knowledge, but very arrogant and aggressive. This man often considers himself the best in the world and even despises the Confucian boy Gong, who has long been famous as a prodigy throughout the region. Knowing that, Confucius student Gong was also eager to win, so he found an opportunity to meet to test his high and low talent.
Nguyen Cong Tru. Illustration.
On the occasion of a day off from school and on the way home from the province, Confucius student Gong went to a certain temple to enjoy the scenery and also to see the talent and face of the abbot of this temple. Gas heard rumors also had to respect. When he walked through the gate, he saw that there was no one in the courtyard and at that time, Gong was thirsty once more, so he went straight to the kitchen of the temple to find water to drink. At that moment, Mr. Gong met the abbot who was crouching by the kitchen. Turning to look at the stranger, the monk let out a not-so-hospitable sentence: What did the guest tell him regarding the kitchen?
At that moment, Mr. Cung looked around, saw a jar (a crockery used for salting tomatoes or melons) in the corner of the kitchen, and improvised: Vegetarian boys have an eggplant pot?
This sentence was actually said very unintentionally, but the other monk thought that Confucius had a deep sense of irony that he had a crush on her, so he folded his hands and looked up at the Buddha statue and read a sentence as if he was justifying his correctness. Me: Please prove it, Namo Amitabha Buddha.
At that moment, Confucian student Gong pointed at the pedestal in the corner of the kitchen and replied, “There’s supervision, Dong Tru Tu is the Tao Quan!
Dong Tru Tu Mang Tao Quan is the god of the kitchen, keeping the life of the owner. The party invites Buddha, the party asks God to prove it, it’s really good; East to South, Quan to Buddha is really talented!
At this point, the monk was both angry and panicked, did not expect to encounter such a young but powerful opponent, so he made a final move, both to want to pat my chest, this is not the right hand and also to intimidate the opponent. Thu: Belonging to thirty-six scriptures, not divine, but different!
Confucius Gong also decided to launch a blow to defeat the opponent who played stupid:
Or eighty-four thousand regardless, the air force god father and son are out of place!
At this point, the monk had to keep silent, accept defeat, and since then did not dare to be arrogant with anyone in the village anymore.
However, also with the anecdote regarding the meeting between Confucius Confucius and the abbot of Uy Vien village’s temple, someone recounted that: When the Confucius student Cong triumphed, he left, but just walked into the middle of the yard, the two children The temple dog came out to bite, biting fiercely as if to avenge the owner. Fortunately, there is an uncle who can stop it forever.
At that moment, Confucian student Gong stopped to look around the temple and recited two sentences as a message back to the abbot that: The Buddha is also gentle, the monk is also good / There are two compassionate pregnant dogs.
Discussion:
According to the content of the above anecdote, it is true that the old saying that “The world is human, the world is talented” is not wrong. Because in this world, if you rank the people with the most free time, perhaps the monks in the temples are at the top of the list. Because of having a lot of time and studying Buddhist teachings, many monks have profound knowledge of Confucianism. But because of that, there are many people born with pride and complacency. There are even people who consider themselves the best in the world and the monk in the above anecdote is an example.
Still know that in the world there are people who are exceptionally intelligent and there are also people who are not normal, like from ancient times to the present, at any time and anywhere, there is no one who reads, remembers, understands and follows everything. even what is recorded in every book. Moreover, for a monk who hangs around in the temple all day, how can he know what the world is like, but he dares to call himself the first. And it was that monk’s arrogance that only made beer for people to laugh at. Sadly, there are still many people who step on the footsteps of that monk today. Therefore, there are many people who only know that from home to work and from work to home …, but always want to teach life, some even show contempt for people. Hopefully, the lesson of the monk in this anecdote is also the lesson of many people who are later born.
