All in all, women who become nuns or nuns, in the eyes of many people, are because of irreversible setbacks in their relationships and careers, which makes them feel disheartened about life and no longer have expectations. Choose the path of becoming a monk. But in Guangdong, there is a family of three sisters who chose to become nuns at a young age because they are very pious to the Buddha.

1. Befriending Buddha

Miao Le Master chose to become a monk when she was a teenager, and her two sisters became monks younger than her. This happened at that time. It caused a local sensation, when Miao Le became a monk, her mother actually did not support her, because she was very young and was only a teenager when she became a monk.

Miao Le’s mother thinks that his mind is not firm enough, so it is better to practice in the temple than to practice again in the world, to figure out what he is looking for, and then choose to become a monk. Miao Le is a monk and is very much related to her mother’s faith, her mother is a devout Buddhist.Eat fast and recite the Buddha every day.

Miao Le was taken by her mother to the temple when she was young, where she meditated. , and the three sisters also have a quiet personality since childhood. Unlike children of the same age who like to go to the playground or zoo to play, they like quiet places and can calm down and meditate with their mother.

Their childhood was spent in the temple. The temple gave them a sense of peace and quiet. As long as they had time, the three sisters would go to the temple to read the scriptures together. Master Miao Le did not feel that her childhood was wasted without playing. Her childhood was used to pursue the truth.

Unlike children of the same age, Miao Le has a persistent pursuit of things outside the body. She said that when she was a child, she occasionally dreamed of a Bodhisattva. This is a delight for a pious woman. has been associated with a Bodhisattva since she was a child. This is used in the words of believers, Miao Le has been a child with a root of wisdom since she was a child.

The reason why Miao Le wants to be a monk at a young age is because she feels that the child is pure and that she has not been defiled since she was a child, and her character and soul can maintain absolute piety to the Buddha. But as my experience grows,You will gradually lose your mind in the red dust, so it is better to become a nun earlier, so as not to let your pious soul be deceived.

2. Sisters ordained

Miao Le and her two sisters have been nurtured by their mother since they were young. Her mother would often teach Dharma to the three preceding three on the futon at home. Miao Le listened a lot. Religious stories with metaphors are deeply impressed by the Buddha's saving lives. She believes that people live in the world, not to satisfy their own selfish desires, nor to satisfy themselves, but to live meaningfully.

For people to live meaningfully, they must pursue the truth in these scriptures and at the same time help the suffering people as much as they can. The daughters have such ambitions at a young age, which makes mothers feel very gratified. The eldest and second sisters of Master Miao Le both converted to Buddhism when they were teenagers. Master Miao Le also converted to Buddhism when he was 8 years old.

Miao Le’s two older sisters can only be regarded as a passion for Buddhism, but Miao Le cannot simply be called obsessed with it. It is almost to the point of being incapable of thinking about it. She basically runs to the temple whenever she has free time. Both sisters chose to be ordained as adults, but Miao Le is very different from them.

When Miao Le was in junior high school, she planned to become a monk after graduating from junior high school.Because the temple is a public place no matter what. At a young age, Miao Le was alone in the temple, making her mother worry about her safety. Moreover, her experience is not rich enough. If she wants to become a monk, there may be some irrational factors at work. She must be a little older and choose to become a monk after careful consideration.

And the present society is not like before. Knowledge is a very important competitive ability. Although Miao Le wants to be separated from the world and not participate in social work, it still needs basic knowledge accumulation.

Miao Le's heart is very firm, ignoring her mother's objections, and persuading her one by one about her mother's anxiety. Finally, she and her mother reached an agreement and chose to become a monk after finishing high school.

So Miao Le became a monk at Puxian Temple when she was 16 years old. Master Miao Le’s dharma name is Shi Juechao. Because he has a root of wisdom since he was a child, he has been very pious and famous for Buddhism for more than ten years. Master Yinjin is willing to accept him as his apprentice.

3. Become an abbot

Although Miao Le has a root of wisdom since childhood, she is a teenage girl after all. The boring life of the temple is still different from that of contacting Buddhist knowledge at home and then cleaning . Yes, every day is the morning bell and the evening drum. She started at the Tianfu Temple Buddhist Academy, and then went to Wutaishan to study Buddhism. In the end, she felt that the Buddhist academy in Fujian was more suitable for her and stayed.

Miao Le also has the curiosity that belongs to young people,In addition, sitting in the temple is just a few hours of meditation, which is still a bit uncomfortable for her. This lively and mischievous behavior also caused some headaches for her masters. Miao Le’s talent is also very good. Some people who have practiced for more than ten years and decades are not as good as her in Dharma.

In order to make her progress faster, the masters decided to communicate her shortcomings to the family, and called her eldest and second sisters and told them about what she had encountered during her practice. Difficulties. After listening to this, the elder sister and the second sister talked to their younger sisters, making Miao Le aware of her mistakes, and from then on, she can calm down to practice and make progress faster.

At the age of 20, Miao Le chose to practice retreat in order to improve his practice. After Miao Le left the customs, her Buddhist attainments won the recognition of everyone in the temple, and she became the abbot of the Puxian Temple at the age of 24.

IV. Summary

After Miao Le became the abbot, the livelihood of the temple was also a point she had to consider. Miao Le did not try to make Puxian Temple a brand like some abbots. Passersby came to play. is to maintain the basic incense, so that everyone in the temple will not worry about eating and drinking, and they will be content with Changle. is no longer publicized.

Her explanation is that too many people come to visit the temple, which will make the temple and the red dust inextricably linked. The devout believers who practice here will feel that it has affected their cleansing, and if they are dissatisfied, they will go to other temples.

In this era of ever-expanding human desires, there are still some people who can follow their original aspirations from beginning to end, and achieve their own desires. Master Miao Le is such a respectable object, she will walk farther and more steadily on the road to build a avenue.
