Liao'an Province, Haicheng City, Maoqi Town;

A bus stopped outside a mountain col,

Yang Zhu opened his eyes, stood up, and said to the dozen actors and three instructors in the car: "Now, pick up the paper bag in front of you, put your mobile phones, all cash, watches, cigarettes, snacks, chewing gum and other things in it, and hand them over to the staff for safekeeping;"

"In a word, except for the clothes on your body and emergency medicine, nothing is allowed, and once found, it will be severely punished!" said at the end, and his voice was extremely stern.

Where did the people who had already been vaccinated countless times dare to slack off, they put their things in bags, wrote their names and handed them to the staff;

After getting out of the car, a group of people were lined up in two and walked up the mountain.

Half an hour later, Yang Zhu, who was in the lead, stopped at the door of an ancient temple of a slight scale, calmed his breath, turned back to everyone and said, "Remember what I explained,"

"This ancient temple is different from the temple in your impression, it is a real place of cultivation,"

"So, after you go in, don't make a loud noise, don't scorn the monks, don't say nothing, hear it or not!"

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, the sternness in the tone was a little more;

Everyone unconsciously looked a little serious, looked at the three big characters of "Great Compassion Temple" on the plaque, and nodded one after another.

Entering the temple, everyone slowed down, and the huge and peaceful temple was swept clean, but there were few pilgrims;

Looking at the several plaques standing at the entrance, which read, "Cultivation dojo, no tourism", "It is strictly forbidden to put money, take pictures, smoke, and spit in the temple", etc.,

After walking for a while, Liu Xun said with some surprise: "This temple does not sell tickets or set up merit boxes, but it is really strange that the smell of incense is so heavy." ”

Yang Zhu turned his head sideways and lowered his voice: "Teacher Liu, this Great Compassion Temple, although it belongs to the same Southern Sect as Shaolin Temple, it is also the Jinding Pilu Sect, and it is the head of the Tuo;"

"According to the world's understanding, it is an ascetic,"

"They don't take money, they don't keep their possessions, they practice self-sufficiency;

"So here, you don't see anything that makes you spend money, even vegetarian fasting, which is provided free of charge to believers;"

"It is this kind of behavior that has changed many people's views on the temple, and has attracted some local and foreign laymen to come and worship,"

But because the Great Compassion Temple does not accept any offerings, these people can only light a few sticks of incense in front of the Buddha to show their respect. ”

"That's why although there is no commercial activity in the Great Compassion Temple, the smell of incense is so strong. ”

After hearing this, Liu Xun's eyes were repeated, and his face showed a look of yearning, and he sighed lightly: "This kind of temple is really unheard of, it seems that this is really a real cultivation dojo." ”

Yang Zhu smiled: "There are thousands of ways to practice Buddhism, some enter the world, some are born, and it can't be said that other places must not be cultivation dojos;"

"It's just that there are not many temples in China now, which is why you are so emotional, Mr. Liu. ”

"However, this kind of ascetic life is easy to [enter the phase], and it will change the temperament of the actors in a short period of time,"

"That's why I traveled thousands of miles to send these actors here. ”

"It's just that you, Mr. Liu, have to suffer at such an old age. ”

Liu Xun waved his hand disappreciatively: "If it is really as Director Yang said, how many people may not encounter this kind of precious experience once in their lives, what is it to endure a little hardship?"

"Besides, for my old bones, how can the glory of the world compare to a moment of ethereal heart?"

then looked at the young director who was respectful to him, and said with a smile: "It's Director Yang, this training method is really clever." ”

Yang Zhu knew what he meant, not to mention those actors, even the ordinary public and some professional monks, wasn't that frivolous and anxious?

Therefore, if you want to perform the feeling of being a monk, [entering the phase] is the most important, but it is also the most difficult means, and Yang Zhu can actually think of finding this kind of penance place to help the actor enter the phase, and has the prestige and courage, dare to pay his own expense, so that a group of actors can cultivate here in isolation for half a year, and the means and courage can not be admired by Liu Xun.

Yang Zhu smiled and said a few words of humility.

After a while, everyone stopped outside the abbot's room, and a teacher left the group and walked in;

After a while, a middle-aged monk dressed in a slightly shabby coat with a slightly bitter face but a compassionate face came out.

Yang Zhu bowed respectfully: "Wonderful Zen Master, Yang Zhu is polite." ”

Everyone was curious, this person was the abbot of the Temple of Mercy, what about the robe, what about the tin staff, what about the Pilu hat, and what about the aura?

If you don't say it, you think this is a monk who specializes in growing vegetables in the temple.

Master Miaoxiang returned the salute: "I already know the intention of Yang Jushi, but I want to ask Yang Jushi a few questions. ”

Yang Zhu's eyes drooped slightly, and his face was solemn: "Zen master, please speak." ”

On the sad face of the Zen Master Miaoxiang, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to perceive the world stared at the young man in front of him: "I have read Yang Jushi's script, so I want to ask Yang Jushi, are you here to promote my Buddha or ...... Slander my Buddha?"

The faces of the people changed, and they said that this is an intention to turn us away?

Yang Zhu smiled slightly: "I don't understand what the Zen master said;"

"Your so-called [Buddha], but the clay sculpture in the main hall is covered with gold and copper?"

The voice of the Zen master was calm: "Naturally not. ”

Yang Zhu's voice was a little lower: "That's what the pilgrims worship on the wall of their homes, and they beg for mercy every day?"

Zen Master Miaoxiang shook his head, and a smile appeared on his sad face: "Naturally, it's not, Yang Jushi has his own research on Buddhism, why bother to ridicule poor monks?"

Yang Zhu smiled, and his demeanor was a little more respectful: "Zen master is not strange, he is quite angry, and there are many offends between his words. ”

The Zen Master waved his hand slightly: "It's okay." ”

Yang Zhu looked at the brown patches on his body that showed a slight background color, and sighed slightly: "Zen master also knows that the so-called [Buddha] is actually the trace of kindness, that trace of mercy, and that trace of detachment in your heart. ”

"I haven't read a few Buddhist scriptures, and my study of Buddhism is very superficial."

"I used to think that the essence of Buddhism lies in [seeking oneself in all things], [the mind is not dirty], and [wisdom and sentient beings];"

"In order that the world may cleanse its hearts and resist all kinds of demons,"

"It wasn't until I opened the Diamond Sutra again one day that I hesitated, is that really the case?"

"It reads: Yesterday the heart is not available, today the heart is not available, the future is not available;"

"When I first read these three sentences ten years ago, I just thought it was about emptiness;"

"But then I crawled in this filthy ten-zhang soft red for several years, and I realized a truth;"

"As long as you are still living in this world, for the vast majority of people, there is no eternal goodness,"

"There is never the slightest possibility that you can truly stay out of all things, so that your mind is not defiled;"

"For in order to live, there must be gain;"

"If you have something, you must ask for something;"

"If you have something to ask for, you must not be able to avoid cause and effect;"

"Correspondingly, there is a trace of [evil] in the heart of people who have never taken the initiative to give up, and as time grows, they take the initiative to indulge this trace of evil thoughts, so that they can thrive;"

"In the end, in this world, demons fly and infect each other. ”

"With these insights, I'll look at these three sentences separately,"

"Only then did I realize that these three sentences were clearly saying,"

"Human nature is fickle and unpredictable,"

"The Buddha of yesterday is the demon of today, and the demon of today is not the Buddha of the future!"

"The so-called Buddha and Demon are one;"

"Only between your thoughts, only in the present [want] difference!"

"Therefore, I was bold, thinking that since I could not infect everyone with the gentle means of [Buddha] at the moment,"

"Then why don't you turn into a [demon] and use the thunder of the angry King Kong to threaten the people of the world in fear and not dare to continue to fall?"

"Of course, there are certainly not so many things that can be represented in this movie;"

"But I just want to use intimidation to make the world no longer try to find a reason to escape from their inertia and weakness by pinning their hopes on [false Buddhas]. ”

"So...... On the surface, what I am asking for this time is to slander Buddhism;

"But in terms of purpose, it is really to promote the Dharma and strive to [descale] sentient beings!"

......

After listening to Yang Zhu's words, the Zen Master nodded and shook his head again;

Wen Sheng said: "Yang Jushi's understanding of this Buddhist classic is inevitably a little fragmentary, and it is also a little extreme;"

"However, there are thousands of Buddhas, but the poor monks can't say that you are wrong. ”

Then he lifted up his head and looked at the multitude:

"This temple practices hardship, holds the precept of not catching money, does not turn into fate, does not ask for people, does not fake outsiders in everything, and relies on your own hands and feet for food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays;

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

"On the day of this temple, there is one food in China, and no other food is eaten, and everyone eats the same food when they are fasting, and in the afternoon they are not allowed to eat anything except water and medicine, I wonder if you can abide by it?"

Everyone's faces were a little bitter, but fortunately, they had been mentally prepared before, and they still gritted their teeth and nodded.

"Once a year, the temple will beg for 15 days, far away from the village, walking the world with its feet, in order to live an indifferent life, get rid of the tiredness, and in the process, we will sleep in the wilderness, leaning over the dust and begging; I wonder if you can accept it?"

Everyone remembered the information that Yang Zhu had shown him before: the blisters on his feet, the figure curled up in the bridge hole and at the bottom of the tree, and the appearance of the monk bending over and begging; they didn't know what it was like, but they nodded after all.

The Zen Master nodded, and a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In that case, you can place orders, please come with me." ”

As soon as he took two steps, Zen Master Miao Xiang suddenly stopped and turned around: "Yang Jushi, I see that you are quite angry, and you are only willing to say a few words, if it is possible, I will not practice here for a while, I can also discuss the Dharma with you." ”

Yang Zhu smiled a little far-fetched: "No, Zen Master, I am entangled in trivial matters, and I need to rush over to deal with other things." ”

The Zen Master stared at him twice, sighed slightly, gave a salute, and turned away.

Watching the tattered robe disappear from sight,

Yang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and quickened his pace on his feet,

left this place of retreat that made him uncomfortable......
