I tightened my grip on my father's arm, "Dad, don't say that, I'm your daughter, you know me, I also know you, my daughter knows everything." ” Dad rubbed my hair with his other hand and nodded with a smile, "Good girl, Daddy thank you for your understanding." ” I smiled, "Dad, I'll talk to you later, I'm going to go first to accompany my grandmother, my grandmother has bad legs and feet now, I'm more worried that there are too many people in the temple, if I touch my grandmother, it will be a big deal." ” "Well, you go quickly, Dad won't go in, I'll wait for you to come out in the car, if there's anything, you can come out and call me."
"Okay, then you go back to the car and wait for us first, don't stand outside, the sun is too big, my grandmother and I will come out after eating lunch at noon."
I let go of my dad's arm, smiled at him, and then turned and walked towards the temple.
After entering the temple, I looked around for the location of my grandmother, and finally found my grandmother in the main hall.
My grandmother knelt on the futon, reciting the scriptures very reverently, I didn't disturb her, walked to her softly, knelt down on the futon next to me, and began to recite the scriptures.
This is the homework I have to do every time I come to the temple with my grandmother, and the chanting must have a beginning and an end, and I can't just disturb it.
There is a separate area inside the main hall, there is a row of futons outside for ordinary pilgrims to kneel and worship, and there are some futons near the table where the tributes are placed inside, which are used by some laymen to kneel and chant sutras.
On the first and fifteenth day of each month, many lay people come to the temple to recite sutras, and some pilgrims will tell the abbot of the temple to pray for the blessings of the family, or to give the deceased people in the family to transcend.
Therefore, these prayers and transcendences are usually completed by lay people, and I no longer think that they were all done by the monks in the temple in person.
However, sometimes there are special circumstances, such as some pilgrims who give more money for incense, or when they repair the temple, some pilgrims who donate, if they want to pray for their families or transcend, they are basically completed by the abbot of the temple or the monk of higher rank.
Since I was a child, my grandmother often brought me to this temple, and the monks in the temple were very familiar with us, so both my grandmother and I could enter the place where the lay people knelt and worshipped.
We usually chant directly after the incense, and my grandmother will donate some incense money and add some lamp oil.
Later, after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother came less often, mainly because she was not in good health.
However, on special days, my grandmother will still let me or my mother accompany me, and after all the homework is done, she will also light a lantern.
I know that my grandmother is thinking about my grandfather, and every time my grandmother lights the lantern, she has to stand there and look at the lamp for a long, long time.
When my grandmother turned around, I could see that her eyes were red, proving that she had cried when she turned her back to me.
Young couples are old companions, this is an old saying.
The relationship between people and people is run in for many years, and grandma and grandpa have lived together for decades, and that kind of feeling is something that we can't experience as younger generations.
That kind of love is no longer any love in marriage, it is a kind of family feeling, the sadness of missing grandpa, only grandma herself can experience. aa2705221:
