If you and I had met earlier, we wouldn't have missed each other. This life is not destined to be.

They are not yet born, but they are already old. You hate me for being born late, and I hate you for being born early. "If you and I had met earlier, we wouldn't have missed each other, this life is destined to have no destiny, if there is an afterlife, I would like to be transformed into a poplar peach tree in front of your door, just to meet you earlier." After saying these words, monk Tianzhi looked up to the sky, hiking to the Terminal South Mountain to live a life of seclusion, no one knows his trail anymore, only occasionally heard a few avid hermit trackers talk about, once met him, but then return to the original place has been empty. On the day the monk Tianzhi left, Shijiao tears can not stop flowing down, a person froze half a day unable to speak, the brain also had flashed, this with Tianzhi together with the hermit life, but think of elderly parents, there are two waiting for the child, she can only give up, wipe away the tears, put up a signature smile, go to accept her destiny, she knew it was difficult, but she had no choice.

1. Encounter

Tianzhi is the Hibiscus Temple of the single monk, traveling to here has been more than three months, kind face, deep Buddhist skills, simple and clear tone but not lose the fun, the square mile has a small reputation. Hibiscus Temple is located in the downtown area, the location is favorable, the incense is flourishing, the people come in an endless stream.

"A person's life, will meet a lot of people a lot of people, however, to meet their own love, happens to love their own people, is really not easy. Buddha said: love has a reincarnation, the previous life owes too much, the meeting in this life is to pay the debt. Your object may have a lot of shortcomings, a lot of unsatisfactory places, we ask ourselves, the object is not their own find? You were blind, only to see ta, now eyes good, we can not be ungrateful ...... "Today is the weekend, but also the day of the monk Tianzhi open altar sermon, good men and women in the concentrated listening to the monk Tianzhi's Buddhist language, for fear of missing every punctuation mark, the scene, although more than a hundred people, but it is unusually quiet and orderly, only the voice of monk Tianzhi echoed in the temple.

Shijiao is an urban professional, straight shirt, just the right skirt, thin pointed high heels, red lips is her daily standard. Weekend, a rare holiday break about a few girlfriends and friends to play near the Hibiscus Temple, did not expect to be temporarily pigeonholed cool, after her girlfriends after ten minutes of ideological education, she deflated, boredom into the Hibiscus Temple. Relative to the high-rise city, Hibiscus Temple building seems a bit shabby, but closer, but can feel a simple atmosphere, "Hibiscus Temple" three words soft with just, just with soft, anyway, look at people hate up, should come from the hand of calligraphy.

Into the temple's pagoda, on both sides is towering centuries-old cedar, the center of the position is a large incense burner, a large incense pillar inserted in the above burning, dazzling white smoke continuously, incense burner on the left side of a small plaza, which can accommodate about two hundred people at the same time. Inside the square surrounded by a group of people, in the middle of a small fat man, gushing rendering of Sakyamuni, the greatness of the Diamond Sutra, Shiojiao stepped on the black high-heeled shoes heavy "thump" sound, holding out 36D big breasts, sharp eyes staring at the middle of the bald little fat man striding towards the direction of the square, she decided to go to find out. Or maybe the sound of high heels is too loud, or maybe it's the 36D big breasts, too eye catching, Tian Zhi's voice was interrupted, eyes looking straight at Shi Jiao who was striding towards the center, the crowd followed the line of sight of Tian Zhi monk and looked over silently. Shijiao at this time can not dig out a pit to drill in, not to mention how embarrassing, just Shijiao or the reigning Shijiao, she forced calm, just a lot of soft eyes "Little fat, did not expect ah! I didn't expect to meet you here!" "It's not a pleasure to have an old friend visit! First go to the meditation room for a short rest, you and I will have a good talk" Monk Tian Zhi said in a loud voice, and the little monk on the side went forward to guide Shi Jiao. Tian Zhi and Shi Jiao is the first time to meet, the two do not know each other, Tian Zhi in line with save a life is better than a seven-floor pagoda of compassion, to help her out.

2. Fighting middle-aged woman

Being led to the Zen room Shi Jiao quickly from the embarrassment of the state of mind out of the back of the sofa crossed legs, carefully surveyed the surroundings, rather than a Zen room is more like a single apartment, the room is mainly warm colors, sunny bay window hanging beige curtains, the grain is evenly spread out, the window outside the wishing fountain, the turquoise lake surrounded by a line of freshly sprouted emerald green. A line of just sprouted new green willow; floor is the original tree camphor wood, eclectic, seats in addition to a mahogany tai shi chair, the other are tatami mats, in front of the rosewood incense bubbling out of the light fragrance refreshing, other home appliances and furniture are all complete.

Mo about after twenty minutes, the monk Tianzhi in the good men and women unwillingly eyes escorted back to the Zen room, and in the hands of the little monk received a plate of cut popcorn, each piece is like a five-pointed star evenly three-dimensional. Every time after the altar preaching, Tianzhi will ask for a fruit plate, placed in front of the desk meditation meditation, that adventurous

lady, should be resentful to leave it! On the way back to his room Tian Zhi secretly thought.

"Little fatty, who is your deceased friend? Say as if the old lady and you have a leg? You give my old lady to say clearly, or else! Tear down this broken temple of yours!" Tian Zhi gently open the door, was Shijiao split head a bombardment.

Tianzhi used his broad palms to straighten his sleeves and then touched his bald head, looked up and slowly said: "Buddha said: five hundred times in the previous life to look back in exchange for a brush in this life, our destiny comes from the previous life, the first time we meet in this life!"

"According to you, we are now under the same roof, the previous life did not do anything, net dry back this? We must have died of a broken neck in our past lives!" Shijiao said defiantly.

"Or I was your husband killer in a previous life, and came to pay back the debt in this life!" Tian Zhi slowly returned with a harmless, dead pig look.

......

Always hear the words of our generation poisoned by fast-food culture, in fact, fast-food culture is nothing bad, improve the efficiency of recognizing the world, we choose a richer way, some people fall in love at first sight; some people see as if it were the same; of course, one night to stay in love, mention pants do not recognize people! The fact is that there is a lot of people out there who don't know what they're doing, and they don't know what they're doing.

Tian Zhi and Shi Jiao from tit-for-tat to mutual appreciation of a unique quarrel enough. Tianzhi appreciates Shijiao's straightforwardness and quickness, her thunderous behavior, and her ability to navigate between family and career without losing her true self. Shijiao is not clear appreciate Tianzhi what ghost, just feel every with Tianzhi chat to always feel enlightened, this bald little fat, patience is quite good, never see him have any great mood swings, always a face and gas, not fast and not slow!

"In this world, we can get a double method, not to be ashamed of the Secretary, this sentence if you let your Buddha greatly saw, shall not pull the ear, spanking ah! Which is the little nun, and then you soul are off?" Shijiao pointed, hanging on the wall of the calligraphy and painting flirtatious to Tianzhi said.

"Buddha said not to say, everyone has their own Buddha in their hearts, do not be confused by the appearance, as the saying goes, wine and meat through the heart of the Buddha to stay in the heart!" Tian Zhi eyebrow raised slowly back.

"Bald little fat, smooth talk, not with you to pull! I have to go back to pick up the children after school" finished, Shi Jiao glanced at the wrist watch, hand grabbed a piece of cut poppy seeds, hurriedly left.

3.

Shi Jiao is a middle-aged divorced woman, is the mother of two children, her husband cheated on her during the pregnancy of the second child, she was desperate to blame herself, resolute in the divorce agreement signed after feeling sorry for the two children, did not give them a complete home. Wake up at six o'clock every morning, cook for the two children, urge the children to get up, wash and use the breakfast, send the eldest son to school, send the youngest son to his mother's home. Then go to work, after work, pick up the eldest son after school, pick up the youngest son home for dinner, a busy, dragging the tired body can not sleep for a long time, she felt that her time does not belong to her, only 3-4 days off a month in a few hours belongs to her own, usually she will choose to talk to her girlfriends and friends, eating and drinking, venting this period of time is not as good as it should be. After meeting Tianzhi met in her mind more than a place to stay, although the difference between the teenage that round little bald fat man, always in the humor of the speech, dispel the haze in her heart, so that her life, more light, she always try to find ways in her free time, drilling into the Hibiscus Temple to go to, and Tianzhi Hu Kanhai talk. Perhaps out of the world's vision of moral abduction, or perhaps Tianzhi himself mute and sultry, they have not been pierced that layer of paper, the two of them have been just to maintain the state of friends above the lovers are not yet full. Tianzhi monk is not the kind of pedantic traditional monks, modern people on the monk to eat meat to marry a wife and have children also have a considerable degree of tolerance, the monk to a large extent is just a profession, and there are not too many shackles. Feelings are always inadvertently sprouted, half by people, love, love know that there is no result.

Tonight, the north wind Xiao Xiao, torrential rain like a note, the Hibiscus Temple of the hundred years of cedar pressure bent waist, broken branches of the autumn leaves flying all over the sky, Shi Jiao put the car parked, knocked on the door of the Zen room Tianzhi, open the door, appeared in the eyes of Shi Jiao has really been calm Tianzhi startled a big jump. Cloaked hair Shi Jiao, wet, makeup off, crying into tears, standing in front of the door without saying a word, only focusing on sobbing and choking. Tian Zhi hurriedly led her into the room, dry hair, with a dry towel wrapped around her, and burned a pot of hot tea in front of her. After staying Shijiao calmed down, she said breathlessly, What should I do? My ex-husband made a sudden visit and asked me to remarry, and looking at the eyes of my two children in anticipation, I was at a loss for words and fled. Tianzhi out of focus staring at the panic Shi Jiao long time without saying a word, the rain outside the window stopped, the dashing north wind returned to calm, a long sigh. Shijiao to the car, y embraced her into his arms, and then held her shoulders, with his usual tone of voice said: everything is fixed, back to your original life trajectory it! My generation is not a fluffy person. Tucking Shiojiao into the back of the car, he looked up to the sky and laughed! Monk Tian Zhi turned and left as if he had never been here.
