Buddhist story: The Record of the Miraculous Distinction of Living Buddha in Jinshan: 19. The Miraculousness of Living Buddha's passing away

Nineteen. The living Buddha passed away and showed his magic

Living Buddha, since Longhua Temple was closed by the Myanmar government and lived on the Great Golden Pagoda for a long time, his life has become even harder, and all his actions have not changed a lot like before. This transformation is unusual. He actually cut off fireworks and did not eat. He only picked up some melon skins, fruit peels, peanut shells, melon seed shells, rust, and some messy things on the ground to satisfy his hunger. At the same time, because he did not take a shower for a long time, he worshiped Buddha on the hot stone slab, without proper nutrition, and was affected by heat and poison, and various reasons were gathered together. So in the April of the lunar calendar of the 23rd year of the Republic of China, poisonous sores grew on the insteps of his feet. He still crawled on the hot stone slab to worship Buddha, but he did not know that he was sick.

Mr. Chen Qingyun, the eldest disciple of the Living Buddha, saw that the Living Buddha was sick on the pagoda and no one was taking care of him. He personally took the Living Buddha to his home in the Seventeen Streets for recuperation, and gave his bed to the Living Buddha to sleep with. He served him diligently, even the son of the layperson was filial to his father. It was not the case. Seeing that there was a big sore on the instep of the Living Buddha, he wanted to ask a doctor to treat the Living Buddha, but was rejected. After a few days, the sores became even more ulcer and maggots were born. The Living Buddha still refused to treat it. Every day, he caught the little lives on the sores one by one and asked people to send them to the green grass to release animals. Chen Qingyun felt very sad when she saw this and said to the Living Buddha: Master, I think this problem must be a doctor. If you don’t have a doctor, it will not be cured. Please accept the request of your disciple. As long as the master recovers from his illness, I will be my wish even if he spends 1200 yuan a day.This persuasion is more than once, and every time the living Buddha just shook his hand and did not need to treat him.Later, Chen Qingyun saw that the sores were even more ulcerated and afraid of people. The pus and blood kept flowing out, so she advised the Living Buddha to seek medical treatment. The Living Buddha sighed and said: Disciple, although you have wealth and a desire to give up, how can you not change my karma!Haven’t you heard from the ancients that if you have no serious sins, you will not be born in the Saha world? You must know that all people born in this world have sins and everyone will be punished. When you see people who are sick, you must know that those who are not sick are suffering!This body is the reward body. After receiving the consequences, one will be greatly liberated. The Buddha said that suffering and happiness are not painful or happy. Everything is suffering and everything is suffering. If the practitioners of the Tao are sick, they should only endure it calmly and not force it. They should listen to it naturally. If this reward cannot be completed, then the next life vine is also involved. Don’t be sad, let it go!When it comes to life and death, it is not enough to worry. Since time immemorial, we have been born many times?I don’t know how many times have you died?Those who practice Taoism only want to be confident of maintaining their lives. What is death?No matter how to persuade him, the living Buddha was never willing to heal him. Seeing that the living Buddha was so determined, Chen Qingyun had no choice.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Chen Qingyun thought of the living Buddha's illness, which was caused by heat and poison. She wanted to take a cold shower, which might be better, so she asked the living Buddha to take a shower. When she said that she would take a shower this time, the living Buddha nodded and agreed and said to Chen Qingyun: It's great if you want me to take a shower!I think today is the time for me to rush.(Zen pun) As they said that, they climbed out of bed and helped him into the shower room. It turned out that there was a water lotus shower head on the roof of the shower room. The water was placed on the water pipe. The water flowed down from the hole of the lotus shower, so that it would be fine. They led the living Buddha to stand under the shower head and told him how to boil the water pipe. They said to the living Buddha, "You haven't taken a shower for a long time, you have to rinse more to get rid of the heat." The living Buddha smiled and replied: I know, you must rinse more. Just rinse this time, and you don't need to rinse again."(Another Zen pun) When taking a shower, it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.

After the Chen family sent the living Buddha into the shower room, they all walked out and closed the door. After a while, the living Buddha did not come out. Everyone thought that the living Buddha wanted to rush for a little longer, so they had to wait. After hearing the clock on the wall hit nine times, the water was rushing for two hours, but they still didn't see it out. When they walked to the door, they heard the sound of water inside. They were all amused in their hearts and thought the living Buddha was really strange!I haven't taken a shower for a few years, and it seems like I have to go for a few years. So I waited again. After a long time, I didn't see the Living Buddha come out. My family was a little surprised and shouted outside: Living Buddha, I have been rushing for a long time, don't rush again, you can come out.But he didn't listen to the answer of the living Buddha. He pushed the door open and saw that the living Buddha was still standing upright there, and the water from the shower head was still pouring on the living Buddha's head and shouting. The living Buddha didn't agree. He walked to the living Buddha's side and saw that the living Buddha's face changed drastically. He pulled him, but he didn't move, and he touched his heart again, and it stopped beating. Everyone was panicked!Immediately sent someone to invite a famous doctor, Mr. Zheng Yuanzhou, to see, press the pulse of the living Buddha, and then I realized that I had died!Dr. Zheng said he died two hours ago!Everyone finds it strange, why did the body fall down after a long time of death?So amazing!So amazing!What an amazing monk. The Chen family was surprised when the Living Buddha passed away like this!Sigh again!People in the world only heard that some people died while sleeping, and those who died while sitting, never heard that some people died while standing. Seeing this, Chen Qingyun knelt in front of the living Buddha and exclaimed: Master, this way of death is the Buddhist state of escaping from the state of death. He cannot achieve this level without a saint who has achieved the fruit of life and death.He sighed and said: A monk like this has passed away and left the world, and we will never have the opportunity to get close to each other again.

The day the Living Buddha passed away was 7:00 p.m. on the eighth lunar month of the 23rd year of the Republic of China, and he lived for 84 years.(When he was alive, monks and lay people at home and abroad didn’t know how old he was. According to Chen Qingyun’s young master Shi Fujun, it was told by the living Buddha that he personally told his brother Jianfu before he passed away).The Living Buddha passed away at the Chen family, so naturally it was not convenient to handle the funeral of a monk at his family's house. The corpse of the Living Buddha should be moved to the temple to be placed. It was the time of Yingzhi, and it was illegal to carry the dead bodies on the street.This matter was a big deal. According to Mr. Lin Baohua, Zeng Shuangtang, a lay Buddhist in the Leopard Rabbit, later, took the idea to pretend the body of the living Buddha as a patient, and carried it to Guanyin Temple in the Ten Directions under the Great Golden Pagoda (Zeng Shuangtang is a disciple of the living Buddha). Because the road was long, one person could not carry it, so he asked another person to carry it, so he moved it to the temple.

After carrying the living Buddha to Guanyin Temple, he temporarily built a shed on the open space and placed a spiritual tent. When the disciples of the living Buddhas from all over the world heard the news, they felt like they had lost their parents and were very mournful. They all came to worship and worship, and some people hugged the living Buddha's body and cried bitterly. This shows how touching the living Buddha was on his day of life!It was parked in Guanyin Temple for five days and received sacrifices from all parties. It was then sent to Jiuwentai for tea and cremation on the 13th.

The people who presided over the funeral of the Living Buddha were Chen Qingyun, Wu Wenju, Lin Baohua, Chen Zongzhen and other Wenqiao (Master Zhuoyun said that it was Master Cihang's cooking in the article, which was a misunderstanding, but it was just a fire from Cihang when the Living Buddha was cremated.)

On the day of cremation, there were 10,000 or 20,000 people and 120,000 cars, forming a large number of people. Among them, there were monks, laymen, young, women and children, as well as Indians, Burmese, and several British people followed them to watch the fun. It was not accidental that the rare scene. When the living Buddha was cremated, not only did there be no stench, but the people present smelled a lotus fragrance (this was what Mr. Lei Taisheng said to me).After cremation, he obtained many relics (solid sons), the largest of which were six, with different colors. Afterwards, his disciples made up their minds to invite people to make the six large relics into seven idols (six Buddha seating statues and a monk begging statue) as a commemoration. Now, there is only one sitting statue and a begging statue in Chen Jianfu's home. In addition, there are five, I don't know where to invite them to go?The other small relics were invited by disciples from temples and living Buddhas from various places in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Sinchu, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Xiamen to offer sacrifices.

According to Chen Jianfujun, there is an incredible story among the two statues made of the relics of the living Buddha in his family. When the Japanese army invaded Myanmar, Chen Jianfu hurriedly took refuge and fled to Shanba. The two statues were not taken. Later, he came back, but he did not see the two statues. He had no idea who could take them away. He had no idea who could take them away. He had no news. One night, he saw the living Buddha telling the two statues in the Guanyin Pavilion on the Seaside Street of Yangon. After he woke up, he immediately ran to the Guanyin Pavilion to see them. Sure enough, he saw the two statues offerings there. In order to invite the two statues back, he had to invite them back after several negotiations. In this way, it was a little magical.

The situations of the living Buddha getting sick, even passing away, and dividing relics are all based on the recent conversation records of Chen Jianfujun. The situation written last time is a rumor among the monks and friends, and it is very different from what Chen Jianfujun said this time, so I will correct it hereby proceed.
