Chapter 103 Be Eloquent
The lake was clear enough to see the bottom, and there were people playing around. Of course, it was only open to some people with high income. The so-called high income standard referred to the person with a bank account of more than 10 million and more than two apartments.
Sara was stunned by such a place. There were few people here. Someone was fishing by the lake.
The staff ushered the three into the scenic spot after Noah handed over three tickets.
After dismissing the staff, Sara couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect there to be such a place, like a fairyland."
People who were used to the haze of the city would be amazed to see such a place. Sara couldn't help but want to praise it.
"I don't know there is such a place. I've been in this country for so many years, but I don't know more than Noah. I'm so ashamed." Bess even became modest. Sara looked at the lake with admiration.
It was true that there was no lack of beauty in the world, but lack of eyes to identify beauty. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Sara wouldn't have believed it. But now, in front of her, she felt that she had been too ignorant in the past.
With a smile, Noah pointed to a house in front of him. The house didn't look big, but there was a ship at the door, which was built by the lake, and the dam in front of the door was built on the lake.
If they could live in such a place, it would be a kind of enjoyment. However, in such a place, except for the people who had no desires, no one else could do it. There were too many shackles lingering in the mortal world, and the people who could jump out were either crazy or real masters.
The owner was a bald middle-aged man with a kind face. The three rented a bike and began to ride along the lake. Perhaps Sara didn't do exercise for a long time. She rode her bicycle with difficulty,
while Noah and Bess rode at ease. Soon, Sara felt behind.
Fortunately, it was cloudy and there was no sun.
The sunhat that Sara was wearing just covered her forehead. Her ponytail was exposed outside the hat, which looked pleasing. Even if there was no sun, she had to smear herself with suntan oil. After all, skin care and losing weight were women's lifelong career.
Looking at the two people who were riding far away, Sara stopped by the lake. There were many fishes, shrimps and grass in the lake, which looked alive and fragrant.
The lake was dark blue and clear, but it could be seen that it was completely natural and pollution-free.
After riding for a while, Noah and Bess turned to look at Sara. Sara shouted, "You go first. Keep in touch."
Therefore, the three acted separately. It was not because of Sara's intention to let Bess and Noah stay alone. On the contrary, it was because that she had not exercised for too long and was too weak to keep up with the two of them.
Although Noah was from a rich family, he had climbed a lot of mountains and was a fan of sports. Needless to say, Bess loved ski, swimming and other sports, so she was naturally skilled. In comparison, Sara was bound to stay at home all day long to participate activities, so she felt exhausted.
It was not that she was not considerate. After all, she couldn't ruin everyone's mood to go out in such a situation.
Sara raised her head and looked into the distance. There seemed to be a temple or something like that. It was a rare place for people to build temples.
Nobody knew who could build such a temple here, the ancient magic temple. It didn't attract a large number of pilgrims, but it was a good place to find immortals.
There were some things that if you believed, it was there, otherwise it was not.
When she finally arrived at the temple gate, Sara saw a notice sticking to the four gates. Curious, she couldn't help but get close to it. It was written in small characters: I am the host of the Floating Clouds Temple, and this temple was built by myself.
It's not because I'm living a miserable life that I choose to be a nun. I don't expect to live forever. It's human nature to die of illness. If you are destined, you can listen to my story. I don't want to move anyone, or make things difficult for anyone, or force others to accept my own opinions. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Maybe, you are the next person I will meet.
Seeing the last sentence, Sara was moved. It sounded so profound.
After entering the temple gate and following the long path, Sara finally found a temple in a deep mountain. It looked amazing.
At the door, Sara straightened her clothes and saw a young monk sitting inside.
He had a kind face, and there was no selfish desire in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.
Putting her palms together, Sara bowed to the monk. She felt a little nervous, then the monk pointed at the cushion. He gestured for Sara to sit down. Then Sara sat down about two meters away from the monk.
The monk looked at Sara with a smile. "You look so sad. I don't know what's bothering you. You can share with me." The monk said slowly, making people feel a stable power.
"Master, tell me. Am I still impetuous? " Sara said in a calm tone.
"No, you aren't. You seem a little quiet." The master looked into the distance and saw the green mountain in front of him.
"Do you think I still have a solution. Is there really a Buddha in this world? " Sara asked cautiously. She regretted immediately. Asking if there was a Buddha in a temple was the same as when you entered a restaurant, you asked the owner if there were any dishes to dine.
The master smiled, breaking Sara's' general impression on monks. "Buddha, believe it or not."
With a smile on Sara's face, She thought, "A master is a master. No wonder he is the host.'
"Don't you feel lonely living here alone?" Sara continued to be curious. She had already forgotten her purpose of coming here. In fact, she didn't have any purpose at all. She just wanted to take a look.
The master pointed at his head and said, "All the seven emotions and six desires are thought out by people, so don't think about it. You won't feel lonely then. Besides, there are several realms of life. When I was young, I liked to be lively. At my age, I can only meditate alone. " The master still had a smile on his face, as if speaking was a happy thing.
"Master, I don't understand. You are in such a good state of mind. Why did you become a nun?" Sara always felt that monks were those who saw through the world and felt desperate and helpless about the world. For example, she should be a person who saw through the world now. But she was totally different from the master in front of her.
"To truly see through the mortal world is not to detest the world, but to experience something else besides the mortal world. I used to be a big shot in the business world. I had a lovely daughter and a beautiful wife and lived a happy life. It's not because I lost everything that I became a nun. It's just that when everything was good, I suddenly came here and told my wife that I wanted to build a temple to
become a nun. At the beginning, she didn't believe me and thought I was joking. " Yunfu paused and stopped.
Hearing that, Sara was absorbed in her own thoughts. She felt that the life of the master was like a real reflection of an idiom, "When you achieve success, you retreat."
"Later, I left enough money for my wife and children, and then build this temple. The rest of the money was donated to the Red Cross. I think life is always a process of experience. Do you know that all the things you are pursuing are actually something terrible? Some pursue love, some pursue money, and some pursue power. In the end, it is just a definition of pursuit, which is invisible, so everything returns to the starting point. " The master was eloquent, looking at the green mountain outside the door.
Sara seemed half-understood, "Master, I seem to understand a little, but I still don't understand."
