Will you give up the 985 school you worked so hard to get into because of a dream? In the eyes of many, the answer is probably no.
Everyone on the battlefield of the college entrance examination cherishes their feathers very much, and the cold window for ten years is the final result.
But not for Shi Zheng Xiaotong, who has just finished the college entrance examination, 985 University can't trap her from yearning for the temple and wanting to become a monk.
Shi Zheng Xiaotong, who has a sweet appearance and excellent grades, entered Buddhism without hesitation just because of one of his dreamsNow that 15 years have passed, does she regret her decision? What's going on now?
Hong'an Tiantai Temple in Huanggang, Hubei Province has always been a popular attraction for many tourists, but its uniqueness lies in the fact that tourists come for a nun.
This ** was taken by Shi Zhengxiao when he was presiding over the temple art troupe, without any gorgeous costumes and exquisite makeup.
Shi Zheng Xiaotong wore the most simple clothes, standing in the crowd, and everyone was captured by her beautiful and refined temperament.
It is precisely because of this ** that many people specially asked her to take a group photo, which also increased the number of ** in Hong'an Tiantai Temple.
After the explosion, the story behind Shi Zheng Xiaotong was also known, which was moving.
Shi Zhengxiaotong was born in an ordinary family in Henan, the only daughter in the family, and received a good education from childhood to adulthood.
It is worth mentioning that Shi Zheng Xiaotong's mother is a devout Buddhist believer, she worships and respects Buddhism very much, and in such a family environment, Shi Zheng Xiaotong has also been exposed to Buddhism since he was a child, and has a certain good impression of Buddhism.
With more than ten years of hard work, Shi Zhengxiaotong lived up to the expectations of his family, brought his excellence to the college entrance examination, and was successfully admitted to 985 Shandong University.
The parents are quite satisfied with their daughter's grades, knowing that in Henan, a province with a large population, if you want to get ahead, you have to put in several times more effort than ordinary people.
The family was immersed in the joy of the college entrance examination, and they were ready to take Shi Zhengxiao to travel to reward her.
The location of the tour is also the idea of Shi Zheng XiaotongShe didn't choose those crowded Internet celebrity cities, but chose Tiantai Temple in HuanggangTo the surprise of the parents, young people don't seem to like such a quiet place as a temple very much.
However, it was guessed that the daughter might be thinking about praying for blessings or having some special wishes, and the family still went happily. After coming to Tiantai Temple, Shi Zheng Xiaotong was fascinated by everything around him.
She looked at the scene in front of herThe mist-shrouded temple is wrapped in lush trees, and the stars surround itSuch a scene made Shi Zheng Xiaotong completely fascinated.
The quiet atmosphere in the temple also coincides with Shi Zheng's filial piety, where she seems to be truly at peace and can feel the temperature of life calmly.
After visiting the temple with my parents, I went to the main hall to burn incense.
Shi Zhengxiao looked at the serene appearance of those monks meditating and reciting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths, and his heart was very yearning.
After playing around, Shi Zheng Xiaotong didn't want to leave, so he proposed to stay here for a few days, and his parents were even more surprised by this, but they didn't expect their daughter to love the temple so much.
Thinking that it would be okay for her daughter to relax and live here for a few days, but her parents could not accompany her if she still had a job, so Shi Zheng Xiaotong started his short life as a monk here.
Life here is very regular, listening to the monks chanting scriptures and praying for blessings every dayFeeling calmer than ever, she dined with everyone, and occasionally the Zen master told her about the temple's long history and Buddhist knowledge.
In just a few days here, Shi Zhengxiao can feel that life is slowly changingBut when the start of school was approaching, she had to leave here and start her college life, and this short time became the "white moonlight" of her two years of college.
Shi Zhengxiaotong, who entered the university, ran around every day on the way to study Xi and participate in activities, and there were many unsatisfactory in such a lifeIn her free time, she spends her free time in the library reading books about Buddhism.
Although she looks sweet and the suitors around her also grab a lot of them, Shi Zhengxiao is never interested in these feelings, and she thinks that they are all a waste of her time.
She also doesn't like to socialize, so she has very few friends at school.
She often recalls the days of fasting and chanting with the monks in Tiantai Temple, although it is repeated and stereotyped, it is better to live the current life, everything in the temple lingers in Shi Zhengxiaotong's mind, and she can't leave for a long time.
In his vacation time outside of Xi, Shi Zhengxiao spent all of his time living in the templeEvery time she lived in the temple and chanted with the Zen master, she felt that her heart was truly comfortable and comfortable, and she felt more and more that she belonged here.
Finally, a dream made her brave choice.
One night during college, she dreamed that she was wearing Zen and sitting under a big tree to chant with a Zen master, and she was still knocking on a wooden fish in her hand, a peaceful picture.
After waking up from the dream, Shi Zhengxiao couldn't calm down for a long time, she thought that this was the Buddha calling her to go where she should go, and she should cut off the red dust and return to the temple.
In this way, a 985 high-achieving student immediately decided to drop out of school, go to Tiantai Temple to cut his hair and become a nun, and become a monk. As soon as this news came out, it was immediately opposed by relatives and friends around him.
Especially the parents, the second elder never thought that his daughter, who had worked hard for half his life, would suddenly become a monk.
Her father even yelled at her that if she did, he would break off the relationship.
However, the voice of the outside world did not affect Shi Zheng Xiaotong at all, and the mother, as a follower of Buddhism, was shocked at first, but then she expressed her respect for her daughter's idea, and she was happy.
There are still many people who think that Shi Zheng Xiaotong is just a whim, and he has to become a monkMaybe she will change her mind after a while, but it turns out that becoming a monk is not her joke, and she proves that she has to go with her actions.
No matter how sad the father is, he has no choice but to accept this fact, after all, there is only one daughter, and the love between father and daughter is thicker than water.
Therefore, Shi Zhengxiao went through the withdrawal procedures in his sophomore year and ended his college life.
In 2008, the family of three came to Tiantai Temple again, and their state of mind was completely different from that of two years ago.
This time, the parents watched their daughter's long hair fall to the ground, leaving tears in their eyes.
This not only represents the end of her daughter's good youth, but also proves that she has entered Buddhism, and it is even more difficult to see each other again.
Now more than ten years have passed quietly, and Shi Zhengxiao's life in Tiantai Temple is still going on, and many people will have questionsDid she regret it? How is she doing now?
At that time, Shi Zhengxiao came to Tiantai Temple to learn the Dharma as a nun and officially entered the Buddhist doorLike all monks, he recites sutras and eats fasts every day, wears simple cicada clothes, and sleeps on hard bed boards.
This kind of spiritual life is extremely difficult in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is extremely satisfying in the heart of Shi Zhengxiao.
At the same time, Shi Zheng Xiaotong also joined the Zen Master Art TroupeHere are a group of monks composed of **, here Shi Zheng Xiaotong found the value of the violin.
In addition to chanting and meditating every day, Shi Zheng Xiaotong also has to spare a lot of time to practice Xi violin, and she often performs with the orchestra everywhere, and on her face, what she sees is not the vicissitudes of the 33-year-old, but softness and tranquility.
It is gold that always shines, and no matter where she is, the charm of Shi Zheng Xiaotong can be seen everywhere, and she often serves as the host of temple activities with her beautiful face.
The years don't seem to have left any traces on her, but people can't take their eyes off the sky, which may be the charm of cultivation, so that a person can truly embrace life and love with his heart.
