Ksitigarbha's Heart Lamp: the Seven Years I Spent in Buddhism

Yu Ming, who graduated from the Chinese Department, was ordained at the Qingya Temple when he was 24 years old, and his Buddhist name was Jue Xing. In the year he became a monk, he got a lamp, the Ksitigarbha Heart Lamp. The obsession of the dead can be seen, and the obsession of the living can also be seen. Next seven years: He accompanied a scholar who had been dead for three hundred years to complete the last imperial examination. He has seen the anger of tigers, the deceit of false gods, and the desires tumbling in the hearts of classmates in the dormitory. He also saw the things he least wanted to see - the Business Book in the gate of the big temple, the wine and meat in the Buddhist academy, and the silent death of an old monk. The mountain gate collapsed. The master is gone. The lamp has also been broken and dirty. Some people laughed at him for being stupid, while others advised him: "Either endure it or get out." In the seventh year, he took off his monk's robe and returned the lamp. It's not that I lost, it was that I gave up. ——No system, no slap in the face, no invincibility. Seven years of ups and downs in a small temple in western Liaoning, and the appearance of a group of practitioners. I hope everyone who looks back at the fork in the road will recognize the one in the lamp.
