Naturally, it is impossible to tell Zhang Lao about this kind of mental activity, Xu Guangling is just a little curious about what Zhang Lao said at the end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What Zhang Lao said was, "People, it's not okay to disobey the old." ”

At first glance, this seems to be an ordinary exclamation, many old people will say this in many situations, but Zhang Lao, this unusual old man, in a situation like this just now, said such a thing, which still made Xu Guangling capture something.

So he asked, "Elder Zhang, old and young, there is a big difference?"

Leave it to outsiders, this is definitely nonsense, but Xu Guangling is not saying it to outsiders, he is also sure that if he didn't understand it wrong just now, then Zhang Lao definitely understands what he is asking now.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Guangling's words, Zhang Lao's reaction was to smile slightly.

In that smile, there was a bit of meaning, and then, he asked Xu Guangling: "Humble words, Buddhists have a view that the human body is a stinky skin, what do you think?"

This Xu Guangling still understands very well. There was a time when Buddhist scriptures were a refuge for his soul, and in that particularly gloomy day, Xu Guangling, who had accidentally come into contact with Buddhist scriptures, was like a person walking in the desert and was already thirsty and dying, and suddenly saw a clear spring, so he immediately threw himself into it regardless of it.

During that time, Xu Guangling read all over the Buddhist collection, such as "Lengyan Sutra", "Huayan Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Vima Sutra", etc., etc., he not only read it, but also read it more than once, but the fact is that he was not very engaged.

At first, I was very immersed, but after watching too much, I always felt an indescribable estrangement.

Where the estrangement came from, Xu Guangling didn't know, he only knew that there was. At that time, in the library where Xu Guangling was reading, the Buddha and the Taoist were leaning together, and another bookshelf next to the Buddha was placed on the Taoist collection, and when the Buddha was finished, Xu Guangling's goal was shifted to the left, and the "Zhuangzi" entered his sight, and then entered his hands......

Stinky skin is actually a layman's saying, and it's a bit extreme.

The real or orthodox view of Buddhism is that "the four essences are empty, and the five aggregates are non-existent", which is very troublesome to explain in detail, because there are a lot of involved, and just this sentence expounds, how many classics are not enough, but simply in one sentence, I do not exist.

All the cells that make up the body, one by one, are taken out, and none of them are you.

Where are you?

You are only in the reaction of these cells, and further, you are only a "reaction", a "phenomenon", not an entity. This statement seems a bit bizarre, because people's first feeling about themselves is the body, and the body is the most tangible.

But the truth is that this body, nominally yours, is not, in essence, you have 100% ownership of it, or even 100% of the disposal of it, but you only have less than 10% control over it. All its metabolism, its lowest, most core, most fundamental activities, you have no right to participate in, at most only limited, slightly, indirectly exert some influence.

So much for!

The whole thing is more like the universe of heaven and earth entrusting a body to you, and you take care of it for a while, and when the time comes, people will take it back.

Brother, sister, you are a babysitter!

You are a very competent nanny, you take good care of the things entrusted to you, you take care of them carefully, you don't bear it to be cold, cold, thirsty and hungry, you can't bear to hurt it a little, let it eat well, dress it well, live well, and clean it regularly and irregularly, but-

Brother, sister, you're just a babysitter!

The body is not one's own, and by further extension, one can naturally conclude that all the perceptual feelings obtained through this body are naturally not one's own.

You like to eat apples, maybe it's just the body's need, and then you like it. You think it's you like, but it's not, you're just "liked".

If you eat apples every day, and then your body doesn't need apples or at least doesn't need them for a while, you won't be interested in apples or even get bored. You think it's you who are bored, but it's not, it's just that your body is telling you, commanding you, "Take it, I don't need it!"

Then as a competent babysitter, you say, "Okay, master, I hate apples, and from today onwards, we don't eat them anymore." ”

......

Isn't it a bit bizarre? Feel weird and subversive?

But purely rationally or logically, you can't find or find it difficult to find loopholes. At best, you can only reject it emotionally, thinking it ridiculous.

Why did Xu Guangling feel alienated from Buddhist texts at that time? This is not the main reason, but it is indeed one of the secondary reasons. He can't say that this view is wrong, because with his shallow insight and opinion, he can't find anything wrong with this view, he just simply doesn't like it very much or subconsciously rejects it.

Therefore, after that period of immersion, Xu Guangling rarely read any Buddhist books, even if they were related, even if they were just engaged in chicken soup for the soul in the name of Buddhism, he was not very interested.

On the contrary, "Lao Tzu" and "Zhuangzi" are still always on his desk, and he occasionally pulls out a copy and reads it again.

Xu Guangling didn't know how much Zhang Lao knew about Buddhism, in fact, he may not know as much, at this point, Xu Guangling didn't need to be presumptuous, Zhang Lao's stinky question, let him unconsciously look back on the original immersion years, at this time, in retrospect, there was a faint feeling like a world away, or rather, it seemed to be a memory that began to be dusty.

"Elder Zhang, that point of view is too extreme, and I can't accept it a bit. In response to Zhang Lao's question, Xu Guangling replied like this.

Zhang Lao nodded slightly, he didn't seem to be surprised by Xu Guangling's answer, or he thought that Xu Guangling's answer was justified, and if he didn't answer like that, it would be a strange thing!

In short, he seemed to have anticipated Xu Guangling's question and answer, and then said: "Then let's take a step back on the basis of this point of view, if the body is just a shelf, and the qi and blood inside the body are fundamental, what do you think?"

Could it be that Zhang Lao was indeed a Chinese medicine practitioner before?

This is not the first time Xu Guangling has thought like this. This time, Zhang Lao's question seems to be the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, Xu Guangling doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, he just thinks that this point of view "maybe" belongs to traditional Chinese medicine.

Xu Guangling should think carefully about this statement.

But in fact, there is nothing to consider, because whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, Xu Guangling does not know much, in such a situation, no matter how much you think about it, it is actually useless, just like the exam for ABCD four answers do not know which one to choose, when this situation occurs, it does not work, rolling the dice works.

As a good student in the past, during the exam, Xu Guangling basically rarely needed to roll the dice, and he could even say no, but at this time, he rolled the dice again, and then said: "Does Elder Zhang mean that when people are old, even if their bodies are still strong, the qi and blood in their bodies begin to irreversibly decay, and this attenuation cannot be made up by diet?"

Zhang Lao's reaction was to slap his thigh fiercely.
