The giant praise monk thanked Shen Zui for the slap back then
In 1978, the land of China was bathed in the spring breeze of reform and opening up. Shen Zui, a high-ranking Kuomintang officer who had been pardoned, was invited to work at the Beijing Political Consultative Conference. However, on his first day on the job, he met an amiable bald monk, who greeted Shen Zui with a smile, and it turned out that he was the vice president of Chinese Buddhism, Juzan Committee.
Shen Zui stood respectfully in front of the Juzan monk and bowed deeply: "Hello, great monk! The Juzan monk folded his hands and recited "Amitabha" in his mouth, and then enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said to Shen Zui: "Oh, the donor's hand is really stronger than before." ”
Shen Zui has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his hand strength will naturally not be small, but the "before" mentioned by the Juzan monk made him a little puzzled, could it be that they had met before? "What's wrong?
Do you remember, I gave you two slaps in the face, and you still have to thank me. Monk Juzan smiled slightly, and then began to tell an interesting story that happened when they first met......
Juzan's Journey to Becoming a Monk and His Experience of Losing His Home in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Monk Juzan, formerly known as Pan Chutong, was born in 1908 in a farming family in Jiangyin County.
His teenage years were full of challenges and difficulties in a turbulent environment. In search of peace of mind, he made a decisive choice in 1931 and went to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to become a monk.
However, the advent of the Anti-Japanese War brought great changes to Juzan's life. The Kuomintang in the south took a negative attitude towards the Japanese army's invasion of China, and they decided to blow up the cultural relics that could not be moved away to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Japanese army.
Unfortunately, the Lingyin Temple, where Juzan practiced, was also destroyed in the catastrophe. Juzan, who has lost his home, can only wander around, and his life is very difficult. At this moment, Juzan's fate took a turn for the worse.
He was discovered by an inspector at the garrison headquarters in Changde, Hunan Province, and sent to the office of the inspector general, Shen Zui. Shen Zui is on official business, and Juzan's appearance brings him something unknown.
In his later years, Shen was drunk and asked the inspector casually: "Is this monk suspicious?" The inspector replied: "This fat monk sat on the boat and scolded Chairman Chiang and our Kuomintang for not resisting the Japanese, and said that he had blown up his temple in Hangzhou, leaving him homeless." ”
When Shen Zui heard these words, he was so angry that he immediately ordered the inspector to bring the fat monk in. This is the first encounter between the Juzan monk and Shen Zui. Monk Juzan saluted unhurriedly, and then said to Shen Zui: "I have heard about your Kuomintang's passive anti-Japanese policy a long time ago.
Are you not afraid of retribution for destroying my buildings with such impunity? ”
I'm sorry, I was young and ignorant, and now I sincerely apologize to you, really sorry. ”
Monk Juzan responded indifferently: "Donor, you don't have to apologize to me, but I want to thank you." He smiled and said, "If it weren't for your two slaps, I wouldn't have felt pain in my face and heart, and I wouldn't have met Marshal *** in Hengyang, Hunan."
Without these two slaps from you, I might not have embarked on the path of serving the Communist Party, and without Ye Shuai's suggestion that I do propaganda work, I might have been an ordinary monk for the rest of my life, unable to achieve today's social status, and unable to become the first senior monk to ascend Tiananmen Square. ”
Juzan finished with a smile and left Shen Zui.
