Chapter 103 The Hall of Light in Baiyun Temple

Besides, Monk Yuanji felt refreshed after waking up in the morning. Many of the diseases in the past seem to no longer exist now, and I feel that I am twenty years younger at the age of the whole year.

This different feeling immediately made the monk Yuanji think of the dream he had last night.

Now that I think about it carefully, this dream is really strange, and he remembers everything in the dream clearly.

While Monk Yuanji was sitting on the bed and wondering, a scripture suddenly appeared in his mind.

This sutra is the process of Amitabha Buddha praising the Bodhisattva of Light, and at the same time, how to communicate with Bodhisattva of Light and borrow the magic power of Bodhisattva of Light.

After remembering this scripture, Monk Yuanji immediately felt that yesterday's dream was inspired by the Bodhisattva in his dream, so he quickly knelt on the bed and kept kowtowing to the Bodhisattva of Light in the void.

Afterwards, Monk Yuanji put on a monk's robe, put on a cassock, pushed the door and left the Zen room, and headed straight to the Main Hall in front.

At this time, the monks from the entire Baiyun Temple had gathered here, preparing for a day's morning class.

After the monk Yuanji, who was the presiding leader, led everyone to perform morning classes, the monks retreated one after another, but he sat on a chair next to the Main Hall and summoned several elders and the temple to his front.

Several elders in Baiyun Temple are his junior brothers. Over the past few decades, everyone has helped each other and is already a family. The prison of Baiyun Temple is his eldest disciple and will also be the host in the future.

Monk Yuanji is preparing to tell these four people about his dream and the scriptures he obtained in his dream.

The three old monks Yuanming, Yuanzang and Yuandao first gave gifts to Monk Yuanji, and Monk Yuanji hurriedly asked them to sit down beside him.

Because these three people are his junior brothers, the four of them have become like their brothers after living together for so many years.

After that, Monk Yuanji's apprentice Ming Shi also came forward to salute the master and the three uncles.

Monk Yuanji waved his hand and asked Ming Shi to stand beside him.

Monk Yuanji sat in the middle for a moment, then said, "Several junior brothers, brother, I have something to tell you today."

The three monks Yuanming, Yuanzang and Yuandao looked at each other, and then showed a calm smile on their faces.

Among them, the monk Yuanming said: "Senior Brother is talking about the next head of Baiyun Temple? If you are talking about this, you don't have to worry about it anymore. According to my opinion, the nephew Mingshi is the candidate for the next head of the head, and we fully agree."

Monk Yuanji smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not this mundane thing."

Yuan Ming and the other three were a little surprised when they heard this. What big thing was there? After morning class, their senior brother summoned all the leaders of their temples.

Monk Yuanji pondered for a moment, and then said, "I had a dream yesterday. In the dream, a Bodhisattva of Light came to me, personally guided me, and passed down the "Sutra of Light". He asked me to make a statue of me, so that he could receive the incense of the good people in this world."

After Monk Yuanji finished speaking, several of his junior brothers frowned. They had never heard of this Bodhisattva of Light.

As the second senior brother, Yuanming still asked the first question, "Senior brother, although we are Buddhist disciples, we have received the teachings of the Buddha and educated sentient beings. To be honest, we have never seen any Buddha Bodhisattva. Is this Bodhisattva I saw in my dream yesterday? Is it true that the senior brother thought about in his daily life, or is it that there is a Bodhisattva coming?"

When Monk Yuanji heard his junior brother say this, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, because his junior brother's words were completely denying the existence of this Bodhisattva of Light.

"Young brother, don't worry, this Bodhisattva of Light must be real. He showed all kinds of incredible things in my dreams, his body shining brightly, and his body is solemn and incredible. I decided to build another palace of Light next to the Three Holy Temples to worship this Bodhisattva of Light."

Yuanming, Yuanzang and Yuandao looked at each other and stopped talking. Although the senior brother did not listen to their dissuasion, what the senior brother did was not a rebellious thing. Are there few Buddha Bodhisattvas who have been fabricated since ancient times? There are not many this Bodhisattva of Light.

"Assuming the arrangements of my senior brother."

Monk Yuanji nodded with satisfaction, and then said to his apprentice Mingshi, who was beside him, "How much money does it have in our temple? Is it enough to build the Palace of Light?"

Ming Shi frowned and said, "There are only a few million in the temple now. If the scale of the renovation is smaller, it will be completed."

"How can this be done? From now on, this Hall of Light will be the ancestral hall of Bodhisattva Light."

Monk Yuanji thought about it for a while, then stood up, took out the phone from his arms and dialed a number.

"Boss Li, is it going well recently?"

"It turns out to be Master Yuanji. I've been pretty good lately. Thanks to you showing me Feng Shui."

"This is what I should do."

"Don't you know what's wrong with the Master?"

"It's like that. Now the temple is preparing to build a temple of light, but the funds are difficult, so I hope that the believers can donate generously."

When Monk Yuanji talked about this, the people on the other side of the phone hesitated, "Why don't you know how much money the master is missing?"

"It's all up to the donor to voluntarily, how dare I set the numbers?"

Boss Li on the opposite side thought for a while before saying, "Why donate another 500,000 yuan, Master, what do you think?"

"I thank you for your generousness," said Monk Yuanji. "After the construction of the Light Hall is completed, a monument will be erected in front of the temple. All the believers who participated in the donation will engrave their names on the inscription so that the believers of the descendants will know the good deeds of these people, Amitabha."

The other side of the phone also called Amitabha and hung up the phone.

"Master, then Boss Li, but we have several big donors on our side. If you ask him for money now, you may have consumed almost the same kind of feelings as before."

"What do you know? Don't ask about this."

After Monk Yuanji scolded Ming Shi, he made several consecutive calls, all of whom were famous donors in Baiyun Temple.

There is only one purpose for making a phone call, which is to ask these people for money.

And these people are all big bosses, and they have donated some money for the sake of the years.

After calling this round, Monk Yuanji raised more than three million yuan in total.

Monk Yuanji thought about it and found that there were still millions in his temple, plus these more than three million, so he could barely build a fairly large-scale Temple of Light.

After the money was in place, Monk Yuanji immediately started contacting the construction team, first demolished several small temples next to the Three Saints Temple, and then immediately started to build the Hall of Light in his mind.

You should know that from the beginning of the construction of a main hall to the completion of that, it was not a small project, but with sufficient financial support, it took only more than two months to build a large scale, and the Guangming Hall was already completed.

During the period when the Light Hall was built, Monk Yuanji was not idle either. He invited a famous carving master to carve a stone statue of Light Bodhisattva.

The appearance of this Bodhisattva of Light was completely carved in the same way as he saw in his dreams. When the carving was done, Monk Yuanji did nothing, and stayed with the carving master, constantly revising it. It took a lot of effort to make the statue fully conform to Monk Yuanji's thoughts.

On the day the main hall was built, Monk Yuanji personally went to preside over the placement of the statue.

I saw that the Bodhisattva of Light was worshipped in the heart of Monk Yuanji, and there were virgins and virgins serving them on both sides of the Bodhisattva.

Around the hall, there are several guardian gods who are protecting the Bodhisattvas.

In addition, there are many exquisite murals on the four walls of the hall. These murals were excerpted from the deeds of Bodhisattva Guangming from the "Sutra of Light" and then painted into murals by monk Yuan Ji.

These murals are the process of Bodhisattva Guangming becoming enlightened. If it were Yang Heng here, he would be shocked, because one of the pictures is his small Taoist temple in another world.

Monk Yuanji stood at the Lord Highness and looked at the Bodhisattva who was exactly the same as in his dream. Somehow, he felt a sense of calmness. He had been anxious and irritable during this period, and then he became quiet all of them in an instant.

At this time, Monk Yuanji was even more sure that what he saw in his dream must be a real Bodhisattva.

However, his eldest disciple Ming Shi was a little unhappy during this period.

Why? This is because Monk Yuanji is already old and may return to the Pure Land in a few years. As a result, at this critical moment, he would build a palace of light and consume all the foundation of Baiyun Temple over the years.

If this master continues to toss and struggle, then what is left in his hands will be an empty shell when he becomes the host.

Therefore, Monk Mingshi decided to persuade his master today not to continue to do this.

Monk Yuanji had just walked out of the Hall of Light and happened to meet his eldest disciple Mingshi.

When Monk Yuanji saw this great disciple, he felt a little unhappy. During this period, it was because he spent the money to build the Guangming Palace that this disciple had a few times with him.

"What are you here for? Didn't you ask you to greet donors everywhere?"

Ming Shi first clasped his hands to the master and bowed, "A disciple Ming Shi has seen the master."

"Just say it if you have something to do, I have other things to do."

"Master, the situation in our temple is not very good during this period."

"Oh, is there any problem?"

"In the past few months, those great donors have never come to our temple to worship Buddha again. If this continues, our temple's income will be greatly reduced."

Monk Yuanji actually knew that his behavior of asking for money had already made several big donors a little dissatisfied. In the past few months, they had not stepped into Baiyun Temple. This was a demonstration against themselves.

However, Monk Yuanji did not take this seriously, because he had already had a slight sceptic in his heart.

In his thoughts, as long as he cultivated into the Hall of Light and then worshipped the Bodhisattva of Light, once the spirituality of the Bodhisattva of Light really descends to their Baiyun Temple, countless believers in the world will flock to them, and these great donors will come to ask for their door again with their faces in the future.
