Volume 1: The Journey of the Jade Rough Chapter 88: A Legend Who Participated in Zen and Faced the Wall for Nine Years

Yang Hao hurriedly shook his head and said he didn't know.

And Liu Yiyan nodded and said, "I learned about it in Huaxia Shaolin Temple before!"

"Master, have you been to Shaolin Temple?"

Yang Hao glanced at Liu with some surprise.

Could it be that the master also went to learn martial arts and was also a martial artist?

"What do you think!"

Liu glanced at Yang Hao's head and said, "I'm traveling there!"

"Then master, hurry up and tell me about the Buddhist Dharma Patriarch!"

The local people believe in Buddhism very much, and 85% of the people are Buddhist believers, but Yang Hao has often lived in the mining area since he was a child, and he really doesn't know much about these things, and he knows Shaolin Temple because he has seen the movie Shaolin Temple that is popular all over the world.

Liu Yiyan said: "I also learned something after seeing the Dharma face wall stone at that time!"

"Bodhidharma wallstone?

Yang Hao was surprised: "What does this Dharma face wall stone look like?"

"Bodhidharma face wall stone is also known as Bodhidharma shadow stone, the stone is more than three feet long, white and black lines, such as light ink painting, faintly a monk, sitting on the stone on his back, exposing his side chin, the folds of clothes seem to be all!"

Liu Yiyan recalled the content of the guide at that time, and then said: "Bodhidharma, is a South Indian, for the Northern and Southern Dynasties period of Zen monks, in the Liang Wu Emperor period, Zen Bodhidharma Patriarch because of his outspokenness and not the emperor to see, a reed crossed the river to Songshan, in the cave to participate in meditation, this Bodhidharma face wall stone is said to be he in the face of the wall during the nine years, sincerity, so that his image also penetrated into the stone, the image left, I once traveled in China to see the stone!"

Yang Hao asked: "Could it be that this Buddhist Dharma Patriarch has been facing the wall for nine years, is it because of these nine years?"

"It should be like what Chen Song said!"

Liu Yiyan said: "Zen patriarch Bodhidharma crossed the river in a reed to Shaomu Mountain, began his own road to the wall, in fact, Bodhidharma face the wall for nine years is not as ordinary people say, a fairy journey, there are a lot of sad stories, encountered fires, jackals, tigers and leopards threatened, the road to seek the law is also thorny. ”

"At the beginning, the Bodhidharma patriarch faced the wall is not all-day, he is also facing the wall during the day, and only at night did he go down the mountain to the temple to preach the scriptures, after a period of time, he was addicted to the wall, began to face the stone wall all day long, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and silently spoke, and saw the nature of his heart, and this sat for nine years. ”

Yang Hao couldn't help but ask out loud: "Master, I've been sitting for the past nine years, can this person stand it?"

"Of course I can't stand it! Bodhidharma is also a human being, when he sits for a long time, he will get up and move his body, stretch out his fists and kick his legs to move his muscles and bones, and when he sits down on the wall and meditate again, he will be able to look at his nose, nose and mind, and his mind will be settled, and all evil thoughts, miscellaneous thoughts, and evil thoughts will be eliminated, and his mind will not be disturbed!"

Liu Yiyan sighed with emotion: "The face of the wall all year round, summer is the most difficult, because there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, mosquito bites are unbearable, and there are a few summers when Damour's face was bitten by mosquitoes into sores, but he can still settle down." ”

Yang Hao praised: "Patriarch Bodhidharma's perseverance is really strong!"

"It's not just strong!"

Liu glanced at Yang Hao and said: "Once the monk went up the mountain to deliver food to the ancestor of Dharma, and saw a jackal lying on the shoulder of the ancestor of Dharma, with a large mouth of blood ready to eat Dharma, so frightened that the apprentice hurriedly roared and drank the beast, and Bodhidharma still closed his eyes and chanted 'Amitabha', undisturbed by the outside world!"

Yang Hao was shocked in his heart.

How much perseverance and determination does one have to do this!

"Another year of cold winter, the weather is cold and the grass is dry, a fire suddenly appears in the mountain, the fire instantly surrounds the whole cave, and there is a strong wind, several monks braved the strong wind, went to the stone cave on the mountain to save Bodhidharma, to the entrance of the cave to see, found that the ancestor is still in that motionless face wall, and the mountain fire actually strangely bypassed the cave. ”

"That's pretty mysterious!"

Yang Hao immediately asked curiously: "Bodhidharma sits like this...... The eyes and nose, the nose and the heart, and the heart are fixed, and the whole wall is contemplating and meditating for nine years?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Song continued: "Bodhidharma will get up and move his legs and feet when he is sleepy, so he created a set of prototypes of Xinyi Fist, so that later generations speculate that Bodhidharma created Shaolin Kung Fu, for the world's martial arts out of Shaolin This statement, in fact, is not groundless! After more than 3,000 days of wall viewing, a human figure appeared on the stone wall facing the wall, and the shadow of sitting cross-legged and clasping his hands was engraved on the stone wall, this stone cave is the famous Dharma Cave, and the wall stone is the face wall stone. ”

Yang Hao asked suspiciously, "Can you become a master with this wall?"

"Zhang Sanfeng's trick says, 'It mentions that he has been facing the wall for nine years to nourish his body, silently faint like refining himself, free without restraint, and able to know with fate. ”

Chen Song looked at Yang Hao and said with a smile: "When you encounter a bottleneck yourself, don't say that you have been facing the wall for nine years, even if you are facing the wall for a month, you can also figure out a lot of things!"

Liu Yiyan said with deep understanding: "Indeed, in a quiet or unrestrained environment, it is easy for people to see, receive, think, act, and perceive the five aggregates of emptiness, and it is very easy to think clearly or figure out some things when they enter a state of no desire, no concept of time, and no influence of external factors!"

The passage of time is really not felt, it feels like a moment of time, but it has already passed for hours, and the state of concentration is to go to the next level, there is no sense of space and time, and there is no sense of the body, but the brain is awake and the thinking is clear. ”

Chen Song added: "Like Patriarch Bodhidharma, those who have attained concentration through meditation practice are enlightened, realizing the reality of life in the universe, and the experience of entering the state of concentration is the experience of the empty realm! Because the empty realm is not the content of the experience of the senses such as the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, but the empty realm is precisely the feeling that creates and reflects these feelings, and although this feeling is called a feeling, it is not a feeling, it is the nature of feeling, it belongs to consciousness, that is, the Buddha nature, and the Buddha nature that created the existence of the living universe cannot be said!"

Yang Hao asked a little dazedly, "Why is Buddha nature unspeakable?"

"Because all the 'sayings' are said in the senses of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, everything that is said refers to words and words, and is the feeling of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, not the nature of the nature that creates these feelings, so the experience and enlightenment of the empty realms such as awareness, Buddha-nature, and the original mind of the Buddha cannot be expressed in words. ”

Yang Hao's eyes lit up and asked, "What does it mean...... You can only understand it, but you can't say it?"

"That's right, that's what it means!"

Chen Song explained: "Just like many times, when our consciousness and spirit are in a state of delusion, looking at the clear sunshine, the clear birdsong, and the bright world, we will unconsciously be fascinated! At the same time as I was fascinated, I couldn't hear the other sounds around me, everything in the world seemed to disappear, and the feeling of my body disappeared, and I only had the things I paid attention to in my mind, and when I woke up, I suddenly felt open-minded and refreshed, and inexplicably there was a feeling that I am heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were my kind of unity between heaven and man, and I felt that everything around me was under my control, and this feeling was real in itself, but I didn't know how to describe it, so this feeling was really just a feeling!"

"I've really felt this way!"

Yang Hao said excitedly: "At that time, I just felt that the whole world was left with my own thinking, and the spirit seemed to be floating, just like a broken thread, about to break, and like a connection, it turned out that this was the settlement!"

"Hmm!"

Chen Song nodded and said, "This kind of dedication to one thing, in a state of selflessness, as long as it is used well, it will also have a lot of benefits for the body!"

"What's in it for you?"

Yang Hao looked at Chen Song with some excitement.

"The most obvious thing is to change your physique...... If the qi of the whole body is guided, the places where the qi was not smooth before can be slowly smoothed out, and the lesion can be removed. ”

Chen Song said with a smile, "Bodhidharma faced the wall, once accepted a legendary disciple, when he was at home, his body was weak, and he couldn't lift a bucket of water at the age of twenty-five, but after following Bodhidharma to learn meditation and return, he gradually became a generation of masters, he is the second ancestor Hui Ke." ”

Yang Hao sighed: "It's amazing!"

"It is indeed a very mysterious and magical thing!"

Liu Yiyan sighed: "It's a pity that this entry is too exquisite, it takes a long time to practice slowly, requiring the whole body to relax, release the spirit, let your thinking be empty, and be in a state of seeming to think but not think, it is possible to enter the concentration!"

He tried before, but unfortunately there are always distracting thoughts in his heart, so that he hasn't really settled a few times for so many years, since he got older, it has become almost impossible to get into the set, this person is old, his body functions can't keep up, and his head is always drowsy, and he often falls asleep first when he doesn't settle down!

Yang Hao Yang Hao nodded in agreement, this was the state of his previous few accidental entrants.

Seeing Chen Song insert the short stick in his hand back into his waist, he hurriedly asked: "You are not in the realm of refining gods and returning to the void for the time being, and you can't release your true qi, how did you do so many scratches on the ground?"

Chen Song turned his head to look at the scratches on the ground and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, you can do it!"

"Can we do it too?"

Yang Hao and Liu Yiyan both saw Chen Song in shock at the same time.

Chen Song nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to practice, you can still do it, it's just the depth of the possible scratches!"

Yang Hao asked puzzledly: "But we are not martial artists, how can we do it?"

"That's just the use of power, it doesn't matter much whether you're a martial artist or not! Of course, in the end, you're definitely not as powerful as a martial artist, because you don't have internal strength!"

Chen Song turned his head to look at the scratches on the ground and said, "If you want to leave scratches on the ground, as long as you are a healthy person, you can practice it quickly, but if you want to practice deeply and make the scratches deeper, you really need to put in a lot of effort!"

"We ...... Can it really be done?!"

Yang Hao felt that his heart was beating extremely strongly, and even Liu Yanyan's breathing became a little rapid.

I don't want to be so powerful, learn this method, at least I can strengthen my body!

The two of them cheered up for a while, and looked at Chen Song with an eager expression.

Chen Song suddenly slapped Yang Hao's face with a quick palm!

With the sound of the fierce wind, Chen Song's palm instantly arrived at Yang Hao's face......
