He was from a poor family and was born in the countryside. Perhaps his life was destined to be destined, either carrying a few acres of fertile land, or getting married and having children early, and living his life in a hurry. However, in a moment, his decision shocked everyone

He is from a poor family and comes from a rural area. Perhaps the road of life has long been destined to carry several acres of fertile land, or get married and have children early, and live a hurry. However, he had a great wish in his heart, unwilling to do so, and changed his fate with his ultimate wish and hard work. Fortunately, God will live up to you and will eventually get rewards. He will become a talented person in the law department, but fulfill his wishes. However, in a moment, his decision shocked everyone and was confused: saw through the world in the pages of the volumes and resolutely abandoned the Dharma and entered the Buddha!

All of this naturally leads to many doubts. Some people say: A good life journey is bright, and it is ruined in one thought, and it is really impossible to understand.

More people sighed in their hearts: Is all this really worth it?

Little did he know that his half-life actions finally made all sentient beings disappear, and he was amazed, and was moved by this: There is one talented man in the world, but there is such a " Manjushri Bodhisattva ".

He is the Zhengzhou Zen monk, Master Shengjun, who has realized the true nature in the pages of the book and spread the Dharma and benefited sentient beings in the sutras.

Next, let us follow the fragrance of books and enter the half-life style of Master Saint King. I realized that this "Manjushri Bodhisattva" came to this book.

In the 1980s, a 15-year-old boy spent his days at a poor rural family and lived his own happy life. The young parents are kind and simple, working hard at sunrise, resting at sunset, and working diligently.

And the young man is always on the side, holding a book in one hand, reading obsessed with reading. Whether it is poetry, philosophy, or literature, the four great classics are no problem. His family was poor and naturally could not buy many books for him, but he was unwilling to have no books to read and could not afford them, so he borrowed them. He borrowed books from his relatives and friends.

At this time, it was the time of reform and opening up, and the reading enthusiasm was extremely high across the country. After reading the borrowed books, he exchanged them for reading.

He read the new book he just got on the light at night, and he never finished reading it in one breath and never gave up. The moment I open the pages, I instantly immerse myself in the world in the book and can’t extricate myself.

can be seen that reading naturally became the biggest hobby for this 15-year-old boy.

However, in everyone's opinion, reading thousands of books is just a hobby after all. A 15-year-old boy still needs to see the reality in front of him: may have to stay in the countryside for the rest of his life, inherit several acres of fertile land, and follow his parents' character as a farmer. In his thirties, he married a girl from the same village, gave birth to children, and spent his life in a hurry.

Little do you know that the meaning in the book, the endless insights of the vast world in the book, the extraordinary philosophy, and the wisdom of life are displayed in the hearts of young people. This cannot be given in these acres of fertile fields, and the young man also has a new understanding of life.

Many insights are like breaking the world in a book, quietly taking root in his heart, gradually affecting his future fixedness.

A book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made him realize: The general trend of the world will be together for a long time. All things are empty, and cause and effect are not empty.

However, a book called "Journey to the West" completely changed his life and finally led him to a completely different path.

The fantasy world in the book, various Guanyin Buddhas made the young man curious. It seemed real and illusory, as if he had become the fifth master and apprentice. He walked west together, and his heart could not be calm for a long time. He had already flew to the vast world outside the village, and he was even more yearning for the magic in the book. Want to know the answer.

"Is the world outside the countryside really like this? Is there really the true meaning of Buddhism above the world?

Next, a decision opened the curtain of his life.

Then he made an appointment with three or five friends. "Let's go and seek the way." " The boy was like Wukong seeking Taoism in Xianshan. He and his friends resolutely set foot on Funiu Mountain , wanting to learn the Dharma. But everything disappointed everyone. At this moment, he was destined to have no fate with the Buddha.

Because of an abnormal era, 10 years of turmoil, all the Buddhists were destroyed, which completely cut off his path to learning the Dharma.However, because of this search, a lotus seed has already taken root in the heart, and will only bloom smoothly on one day in the future and achieve extraordinary achievements.

Buddhism has no hope and has become a fantasy. The strong influence of books has caused a great change in his thoughts, which is why this change opened up his future.

"You can't stay in the village all your life, you need to work hard for this." I am unwilling to be destined to be my destiny and take books as my ambition. The hard work of reading at night and the insights of thousands of books. The road of life is created by oneself. The great wish in one's heart is clear: becoming a intellectual talent, repaying parents, and achieving one's own heart.

This wish is like God's help, plus hard work and faith. Many years later, the poor boy who was soaring in the sea of ​​books finally got rewards and was admitted to the Law Department of Hubei Education College in one fell swoop.

A worldly legal talent was born, which made everyone in the village envious. And his future must be bright, and he has glorified the entire family. At this moment, he was successful in his youth and successfully changed his destiny throughout his life.

However, when he finally left the countryside, he looked at the bustling big city, and the university that he was about to enter. Not only did my childhood wishes finally come true, but I also stopped poverty, and everything was like a winner in life. He also knew very well that all this was the best arrangement.

all this, you should be happy. But, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and a thought arose in his heart, and his thoughts were missing in an instant.

"Is this really what I want most? Is this really the greatest meaning of life?" The confusion of the ultimate value of life made him unable to think about it, and the lotus seed that had already taken root in his childhood was also released at this time...

recalled it for a few seconds, and he decided to take books as his ambition as his childhood. Perhaps, in the book, you can answer life confusion.

, life in the book makes him realize that things in the world are impermanent, birth, old age, sickness and death, and life is short. Perhaps, the Buddha originally used calligraphy as a method to help him understand the true nature in books, and finally ascend to the position of Buddhism and obtain the true meaning of Buddhism.

The sea of ​​books has been cultivated for half a lifetime, which has made him see through the impermanence of life and death, and a thought is pure, and life confusion instantly turns into a bubble. When I was a child, Funiushan’s wish appeared in my heart and became the final answer: only Buddhism can save oneself, obtain freedom and happiness, and show the wisdom of Prajna, which is the greatest meaning of life.

Then, the decision made everyone confused and shook their heads and sighed: Is really worth it?

"I want to escape into a monk and give up my legal studies." Once a thought comes out, abandoning the Dharma and following the Buddha can be said to make sentient beings feel extremely regretful.

"The future is bright, and my life should have been prosperous. The life that others dream of dreams is not enough, but I don't want a single idea? I really can't understand." No one knows why this poor and top student made this decision.

Everyone was confused, but it did not affect his final wish. Immediately, he resolutely became a monk in Jiuhuashan in 1993 and was named Shengjun. From then on, we embarked on the path of spreading the Dharma in Buddhism. His next series of actions all puzzled all sentient beings: turned out to be his ultimate value.

Once he abandoned the Dharma and entered Buddhism, he studied the Dharma diligently, but he had eliminated the worldly books for half his life and obtained thousands of books in the collection of sutras. My childhood thoughts arise again and go deep into the vast sea of ​​sutras to spread the Dharma and benefit sentient beings.

If he realized the impermanence of life in the book in the first half of his life, then in the second half of his life, he would integrate the wisdom of Buddhism in the sea of ​​sutras.

In September 1994, Jiuziyan, Jiuhua Mountain, the Holy Lord Zen monk went deep into the vast scriptures and practiced in seclusion only to realize the true nature of Buddhism. This became his practice and homework.

and this practice lasted for a full 9 months.

He knew better "It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books" immediately, resolutely imitating famous monks and masters for thousands of years, practicing asceticism to various famous mountains, preaching the Dharma according to circumstances, and spreading the Dharma and benefiting sentient beings. At this moment, it seems like a thousand years of eminent monks gathered together to talk about the great way of spreading the Dharma.

"Make the world and do things in the world" is for Buddhism and should be in harmony with sentient beings. The sage king does mercy and does good deeds, helps the people, and helps the world.Taking charity and welfare as the law, and taking Prajna wisdom as the wonderful. Books of scriptures are transformed into wisdom in life, bringing hope for life to the people who are trapped in suffering and confusion.

People often see that there is always a Zen monk holding scriptures in his hand who casts compassionate eyes to others. Whenever you are confused, he always helps you with wisdom but his worries in his heart.

No wonder, the people all say: He is the contemporary Manjushri Bodhisattva, who uses the wisdom of Prajna and the Dharma of the scriptures to save all sentient beings.

This is the lifelong character of Master Shengjun.
