Love lasts a lifetime

Because Xi'an Jiaotong University and Baoguo Temple are only one or two miles apart.

So He Yu, Teacher Yang and Teacher Zhang would take a walk through the back door to Baoguo Temple after dinner every day.

There are many pilgrims and monks coming and going from Baoguo Temple.

The gate is very majestic, and when you walk in, you can hear the beautiful Buddhist music being played.

Look at the incense-filled realm and the various Buddha statues scattered in many temples.

He Yu felt as if he had entered the Buddhist world.

Every time he came, he would go to the Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple and burn a few sticks of incense.

He Yu was very interested in the couplets on both sides of the temple doors.

Not only are they written in various beautiful fonts, but the couplets are also deeply meaningful and fascinating.

He has to watch and ponder over and over again.

Teacher Zhang and Teacher Yang are not interested because they teach mathematics.

One night, He Yu went to Baoguo Temple alone to lie.

When he was walking in the square in front of the gate of Baoguo Temple, he suddenly saw a young monk who looked very much like his classmate in elementary school.

He looked left and right, but he didn't dare to ask.

The monk saw He Yu looking at He Yu repeatedly.

The monk took the initiative to ask He Yu:"Are you He Yu's classmate?"

He Yu quickly replied:"Yes!

Are you Li Yang?""

"Both of us still remember each other's names, which shows that we were good friends when we were studying.

What are you doing at Baoguo Temple?" Li Yang asked

"I came to Southwest Jiaotong University to participate in the national middle school teacher training class.

I haven’t seen you for so many years, why did you come to Baoguo Temple and become a Buddhist disciple?"Originally He Yu wanted to say, 'Become a monk.'

But saying 'Buddhist disciple' seemed more respectful to him.

"After I graduated from elementary school, because both my parents died, no one took care of me.

I heard that Baoguo Temple in Sichuan is very famous.

Like you, I have admired Bodhisattvas since I was a child.

I just want to guard the Bodhisattva every day, so I don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

So I secretly took the train to Chengdu, and walked and begged for food to get here.

Unlike you, you have parents to take care of you, go to study abroad, and now you are a middle school teacher."Li Yang said

"You are so miserable. I wonder what your Dharma name is?

How are you doing now?"

"My name is Master Zhengkong!

Now I can be regarded as carefree. I don’t care about everything in the world. I take a few disciples with me to calm down and recite sutras and keep fit."

"If you have a good Dharma name, it means that you will have great years and carry forward the Buddha's work. Am I right?"He Yu said

"I don’t have the skills to choose this Dharma name, but my master helped me choose it.

I am not as good as you. I am already a middle school teacher and have a high level of education."

"I envy you, you don't care about everything in the world, you are isolated from the world.

Less worries.

But I am different.

Don't think of me as a middle school teacher, but the world is full of intrigues and fights. If you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined, your family will be ruined and you will die.

I was able to come to the training this time, but I met a good leader to help me, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to come here and meet you."

"You mentioned these things, but I wouldn’t meet them in the temple. As long as you lead your disciples to chant sutras and exercise on time, there will be no intrigues or fights like you said."

"How do you exercise with your disciples?"He Yu asked

"We don’t practice martial arts here like Shaolin Temple or Wudang Mountain. Instead, we practice internal strength and fitness.

Intellectuals like you can practice it. He

Yu was very happy when he heard this, and he said to Li Yang:"Can you teach me something?""

"OK!

If you want to practice, I will teach you.

But it can only be taught to you at night and behind the temple.

And you have to be sincere and don't have selfish thoughts when practicing."Li Yang said

"You know that I often pray to Buddha with you, of course I am sincere"

"Okay!

It's night now, and the moonlight is shining again, so you can follow me to practice."

It's true; I actually met my elementary school classmate at Baoguo Temple. He is now a disciple of Buddhism, and he taught him how to practice internal skills.
