Recently, this one-armed monkey who had been in the temple for 20 years has become popular and frequently appears in online videos. It has kind-eyed eyes, kind-hearted and elegant movements. In this monkey, there is no sign of the monkey being arrogant and naughty, as if it has really realized the Buddha nature, and it is really like a respected old man.
Netizen: From its eyes, we can see the impermanence of the world.
is why it has attracted much attention, and it has a legendary Buddhist story.
It is said that 20 years ago, the master in the temple on the mountain was wandering in the mountains and suddenly heard the screams of monkeys. The master stopped and heard the sound and looked at it. It turned out that the poacher was hunting a monkey in the forest. The monks were compassionate, and the master felt compassionate, so he walked over to save the monkey. Under the master's persuasion, the poacher decided to release the monkey, but at this time the monkey had broken one arm and became a one-armed monkey.
frightened and the pain of the broken arm made the monkey look in a very bad condition and dying. If it is released, it will probably be difficult to survive in the forest, so the master decided to take it to the temple for temporary treatment.
I didn't expect to have a connection with the Buddha since then. This monkey stayed in the temple for 20 years. During this process, he accompanied the masters in the temple every day, welcomed the sunset, listened to the sound of the Buddha, and heard the bells. He was deeply influenced by incense for decades. He saw many good men and women burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and gradually became rich in Buddha nature.
Now, this monkey is still active in the temple. Perhaps it is the passing of time and the influence of the Buddhist voice. This monkey has a plain eyes, a natural expression, and is kind and polite to others. He looks like a magnificent monk and lives a life without any disputes.
