Chapter 1684 In front of the Buddha statue

The Zen room smelled of sandalwood.

The old monk poured a cup of tea for Liu Fusheng and said, "Donor Liu, are you satisfied with everything in the Jade Buddha Temple?"

"very satisfied."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After putting it down, Liu Fusheng asked: "Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee often comes to the Jade Buddha Temple to worship Buddha, right?"

The old monk lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "How can there be any Secretary Wang here? There is only my junior brother Lay Master Wang, just like you are the donor Liu."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Master, please forgive me, but my understanding is still a bit lacking."

The old monk smiled and said: "The Buddha is a pure Buddha, but the temple is a red dust temple. Who can clearly distinguish between the red dust and purity?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Master's Dharma is profound and I sincerely admire it. In fact, I came here not to take worldly things into a pure place and let the worldly mind disturb the pure mind... What I want is to sit in front of the Buddha with the layman Wang. , to solve the confusion in your heart.”

The old monk asked: "Whose confusion?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Mutual."

The old monk asked again: "What about the world of mortals?"

Liu Fusheng replied: "Relaxation."

The old monk thought for a moment, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice: "Amitabha, your merits are immeasurable, so good, so good."

After that, he stood up slowly and said to Liu Fusheng: "Donor Liu, please wait a moment. The old monk will be back soon."

Liu Fusheng smiled and nodded, thinking: Talking to the monk is really tiring.

After more than ten minutes, the old monk came back and said to Liu Fusheng: "Junior Brother Wang will come to the Jade Buddha Temple today at dusk. At that time, the old monk will refuse pilgrims to offer incense on the grounds that the temple is closed for maintenance. If donor Liu wants Enlightenment is best at that time.”

Liu Fusheng said: "Thank you, Master... Is there a meditation room where I can take a short rest?"

The old monk smiled and said: "Of course I have it, please benefactor."

……

At dusk, the red sun sets in the west, and there is silence in the ancient temple on the green mountain.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha closed its gates and declined visiting pilgrims.

A black car slowly stopped at the back door of the Jade Buddha Temple, and the monk Zhike led the people in the car into the main hall.

At this time, the Master of Wet Dreams was sitting on the futon, with his eyes slightly closed, holding his breath and meditating.

After Wang Buddha entered the main hall, he walked slowly to the Buddha, knelt on the futon, and worshiped the Jade Buddha devoutly.

After three prostrations and nine obeisances, he asked the old monk: "Senior brother told me that he has some new insights that he wants to give me, but I don't know what they are."

Master Weimeng slowly opened his eyes, raised his head to look at the jade Buddha, and said calmly: "Revelation in front of the Buddha is the Dharma. What is it that my junior brother is pursuing so hard?"

Wang Foye sighed: "I bow to the Buddha and chant, but all I ask for are trivial matters in this world."

The old monk said: "The world's obsessions are nothing more than wine, sex, wealth, and energy. Junior brother, I must abide by the precepts and take care of myself. Drinking and sex are two words that I should stay away from. But in the world of mortals, the most worrying things are money and energy. Money is greed." "Qi is anger and ignorance. Junior brother has not fully understood greed, anger and ignorance."

Wang Foye said with a smile: "Indeed, after all, I am still in the public sector, and I still have unfulfilled ambitions, so I frequently go to the Buddha to pray. I only hope that the Buddha will let me go well. When I retire completely and quit the world of mortals, I will also be willing to Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, even if I spend this remaining life, I will have no regrets.”

When the old monk heard this, he sighed, stood up slowly, and was about to leave the hall.

Wang Foye said in surprise: "Senior brother wants to enlighten me, why are you leaving?"

The old monk shook his head and said: "I am far away from the world of mortals. I cannot use my heart in the world of mortals to liberate my junior brother. Only a person in the mortal world can relieve my junior brother's confusion."

Wang Foye frowned slightly: "Who?"

The old monk said: "The man who dug the well."

After that, he left the Main Hall.

When Wang Foye was wondering, Liu Fusheng's voice sounded from the other side of the Jade Buddha: "Uncle Wang, don't blame me. I begged Master Wenmeng to invite you here."

Wang Foye's expression changed and he said, "Liu Fusheng? What did you want to do by luring me here?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I want to have a heart-to-heart chat with you. After all, in front of the Buddha, you should be able to tell me what's on your mind."

In front of Buddha...

Wang Foye raised his head and looked at the Jade Buddha.

Liu Fusheng stood beside him, facing Master Guanyin who was flying across the sea.

On both sides of the Jade Buddha, the two people were sitting and standing, as if they had nothing to do with each other, but they were inextricably connected.

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle Wang, do you know why the Jade Buddha has two sides, one Buddha and one Bodhisattva?"

Wang Foye said calmly: "The Dharma is solemn and can also save all sentient beings."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Yes, the Dharma is solemn because the disciples are pious and reverent, dare not disobey, and save all sentient beings. It is because the people love it, gain spiritual salvation, and yearn for the pure land of bliss in the West."

Wang Foye said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "I think this Jade Buddha has two sides, just like you and me, officials."

"As officials, we must adhere to principles and respect Party discipline and state law. Party discipline and state law are the Buddha in our hearts, and we dare not disobey in the slightest."

"In addition, we must also make achievements in order to serve the people and benefit the people, just like the Guanyin that crosses the sea and saves all living beings."

Buddha Wang said: "It makes sense, you do have some affinity with Buddhism."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, you are well versed in Buddhism and the way of being an official. You should understand that money and power are not enough, right?"

Wang Foye shook his head and said nothing.

Liu Fusheng pressed forward step by step: "You are a devout Buddhist believer, why would you violate your faith in your heart? Facing the Jade Buddha, you have to face your heart and answer my question, right?"

Wang Foye squinted his eyes and said, "Since I, Wang, have been an official, I have never done anything unkind to my heart."

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang is too unrealistic. With your attitude, we will have nothing to talk about."

Wang Foye said: "This is not a place for conversation."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, there is a piece of information under your futon. Please take it out and read it first, and then answer me whether this is a suitable place for conversation."

The setting sun shines in the evening, and the hall is brightly lit.

Wang Foye took the information under the futon in his hand, frowned, and flipped through it faster and faster.

"Where did you get these things?"

Wang Foye's face became very ugly.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't doubt Uncle Hu. Since he promised you that the things in his hands will not be leaked, he will definitely not give them to me... These things are not provided by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but It was the evidence that Lu Chake and Xiang Dong collected about you that violated discipline and rules."

"By the way, there is still some information over there in Liaonan City, but I haven't put it here."

Wang Foye immediately understood the whole story.

Lu Chake and Xiang Dong were enemies of him, so they naturally had a lot of evidence in their hands. It was Liu Fusheng who brought Lu Chake down later. It was not surprising that he could get the evidence in Lu Chake's hands.

As for Liaonan City, besides Li Hongliang, who else could be there?
