His name is Shi Mingxin. He was born on1February 29th, 980. Shi Mingxin was born in an ancient town near nanxi river, Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province. The ancient town of Jiangnan water town is picturesque. In fact, when Shi Mingxin was born, Buddhism here was gradually scarce. People in his hometown generally don't believe in Buddhism, and most of them believe in Taoism or Christianity. Only the ruins of the ancient Buddhist temple left a long time ago are still there, but there is not a monk in the town. In Shi Mingxin's impression, only occasionally a few fake monks came to town to beg for money. In the eyes of most people, monks have become synonymous with laziness and wanting to get something for nothing.
A long time ago, Shi Mingxin began to think about things that ordinary people couldn't think of, such as the summer of his childhood, which was very sultry. Shi Mingxin's family will put bamboo mats on the roof for the night. He looked at the stars and the bright moon and began to think about the meaning of the universe, human beings and life. What do people live for? This problem bothers him. He thought maybe he shouldn't think about it, but he couldn't stop. Later, when Shi Mingxin grew up, he obeyed his parents' wishes and took the exam with 1999. He went to work in the town government, which was everyone's iron rice bowl for ten years.
He lived the same life as all ordinary people for ten years, boring and boring. Play games passively every day, and indulge in the world of video games day after day. Shi Mingxin wants to try to change, but such an iron rice bowl job is perfect for parents, who will not agree to resign. June 5438 +2006 10, he was surfing the Internet when he suddenly heard a Buddhist song "Samsara". The voice is ethereal, and there are no lyrics. Just the knock of the Buddha's name and wooden fish, he seemed to see the world he longed for.
Shi Mingxin had the idea of becoming a monk. He went to the temple for morning and evening classes several times, and listening to these always moved him. In February 65438, he planned to become a monk, but his parents found him before he became a monk. In the eyes of people of that era, it was particularly important to carry on the family line, and his hometown always looked down on becoming a monk. In fact, Shi Mingxin has never been in love or liked others, but his parents have a persistent attachment to future generations. In desperation, he had to care about it. Three years later, he was admitted to China Buddhist College, the highest Buddhist college in China.
After so many years, the relieved parents gradually let go and began to understand their son. Shi Mingxin became a monk in Miaozhi Temple in Yongjia County in 2009, and soon went to Beijing Fayuan Temple to study at China Buddhist College. After he became a monk, many people knew about this handsome monk because of a photo he accidentally posted on the Internet. Because of their excellent looks, many rich women often go to his temple every day in the name of burning incense. 、
Shi Mingxin was unmoved by this and finally realized his dream. Naturally, he will not give up easily. As he himself said, money and beauty are not important to him. The greatest happiness is that people can do what they like when they are alive. He likes Buddhism, and becoming a monk is his best destination. After graduation, Shi Mingxin was still doing Buddhist research and gave up surfing the Internet. He also studied secular courses such as tea ceremony, English and calligraphy.
