"Bodhidharma faces the wall, where does his back go?"

The voice of Master Kankong slowly spread, and the entire crowd waited with bated breath for Master Homo sapiens' answer, if this question was taken literally, it would naturally be turned away from the cave door.

The allusion of Bodhidharma facing the wall can almost be said to be a household name, Bodhidharma Patriarch in a natural stone cave on the top of Songshan Mountain, facing the wall for nine years, has become a beautiful talk in the history of Buddhism.

Bodhidharma faced the wall in the stone cave for nine years, and later left, the stone opposite the sitting meditation actually left the image of his face to the wall, faintly visible, the descendants called this stone "Bodhidharma face wall shadow stone", and many literati have left a poem record, including a poem "Face the wall stone praise"

Shaolin is a stone, and the capital is a person.

It's clearly a person, and it's clearly a stone.

Stone and wall stone,

Who are the people? Facing the wall?

……

"Bodhidharma faces the wall, facing the person who seeks the Dharma with a broken arm!" Master Zhiren replied without hesitation.

"Where is the Broken Arm Seeker, are you referring to the Second Ancestor Hui Ke?" Master Jiankong continued to ask.

"Are you asking the Dharma-seeker with a broken arm in the history of Zen Buddhism, or the present-day seeker with a broken arm?"

"What is the difference between the one in the history of Zen Buddhism and the present?"

"What is the difference between the past and the present, the Dharma is like the destiny of coming, if there is no person who seeks from above and below, and there is no person with a heart, how can he bear the life of protecting the Dharma of the Dharma!"

"Amitabha, a good person who faces the broken arm to seek the Dharma, Bodhidharma faces the wall and does not say the Dharma, all day long silently facing the wall, facing the wall and closing his eyes, the wall is facing the wall, I want to ask: Bodhidharma since the wall is facing the face, why do you want to break the wall, and what is the broken wall?"

"Amitabha, what is it that breaks the wall from wall to side? What is broken is our obstacle, our attachment, our attachment to our obstacle, the wall in the world, everywhere is an obstacle, and this needs to be broken. ”

Master Zhiren smiled and said slowly: "Bodhidharma faces the wall, where is the back? Nine years facing the wall is to bring posterity learning, nine years facing the wall is to spread the Dharma, and nine years facing the wall is to make the Dharma spread. Then, we only have to ignore life and death, only not afraid of life and death, face life and death and take on the heavy responsibility, take our fear of life and death, face our fear of life and death, face our heart of fear of life and death, do not fear, no longer escape, face, bear, this is the intention of our Dharma face the wall. Therefore, Bodhidharma faces the wall, the second ancestor Hui can break his arm to seek the Dharma, we say that Bodhidharma faces the wall, and his back is to the person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm. ”

Smack!

As soon as Zhiren's words fell, the applause of the onlookers rang out, most of these are people who believe in Buddhism, and they also understand Buddhist allusions.

Of course, there are many people who are confused, Mo Yongxing, Zhang Hua and Tong Min are all confused, obviously they have not heard of this allusion to seeking the law with a broken arm.

Qin Yu listened to it with a lot of taste, these two masters were constantly sharp, and full of Zen machines, and they were very rewarding to read carefully.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, since I mentioned the Bodhidharma facing the wall, then I also want to ask: Bodhidharma facing the wall, where is it facing?" Zhiren began to fight back.

"Face the Dharma seeker with a broken arm. Seeing the empty smile, as soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, Master Zhiren had already said that he turned his back to the person who sought the Dharma with a broken arm, why did this Master Jiankong say the same?

"Although I don't understand very well, but this Jiankong is obviously not right, Master Gang Zhiren said that Bodhidharma faces the wall and turns his back to the Dharma seeker with the broken arm, everyone applauded and approves, how did he become the Dharma seeker facing the broken arm again?" Zhang Hua stabbed Qin Yu's waist on the side and asked.

"Facing the Broken Arm Seeker?" Qin Yu also frowned, since he turned his back to the Broken Arm Seeker, why did he also face the Broken Arm Seeker?

"Qin Yu, who is this Dharma seeker with a broken arm. Mo Yongxing spoke on the side.

"The Dharma seeker with a broken arm refers to the second ancestor Huineng, but the Dharma seeker with a broken arm in the mouth of Master Zhiren refers to those who have the heart of the Buddha and great perseverance. ”

"Yes, why didn't I think of it!" After Qin Yu casually answered Mo Yongxing, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head, he slapped his thigh, and exclaimed.

"What are you doing in a daze. ”

Mo Yongxing was startled by Qin Yu's movements and voice, Qin Yu's voice was a little loud, and everyone in the crowd was still figuring out the Zen meaning in Master Jiankong's words, but at this moment, when they heard Qin Yu's exclamation, they all turned their eyes to him.

"What does this little layman understand? Master Jiankong's gaze also turned to Qin Yu, with a kind smile on his face, and encouraged.

"Xiao Ke has some personal opinions, he will only laugh and be generous, how dare he show ugliness in front of the master. ”

"The Buddha once said: Everyone in the world is a Buddha, and the heart is immeasurable, which means that we are told that everyone has a Buddha in their hearts, as long as they are enlightened, they can point directly to their own hearts, there is no difference between large and small, but it is okay for small laymen to say. ”

"In that case, then Xiao Ke will tell me my understanding, and if there is anything wrong, please ask the master for advice. ”

Qin Yu clasped his hands together at Master Jiankong, performed a Buddhist salute, sorted out the language in his mind, and then said: "Master Gang Zhiren said, Bodhidharma faces the wall, and his back is to the person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm, and this person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm refers to the second ancestor Huineng, because Bodhidharma does not say the Dharma or preaches the Dharma, only the second ancestor Huineng has obtained the inheritance of Bodhidharma, so it is said that Bodhidharma faces the wall and turns his back to the second ancestor. ”

"Broadly speaking, Bodhidharma faces the wall and turns back to the person who has the Buddha's fate and great perseverance, the so-called Dharma is not lightly transmitted, and the Buddha is destined to be a person, so Master Zhiren said that Bodhidharma is facing the wall and turning his back to the broken arm to seek the Dharma. ”

Saying this, Qin Yu's tone eased for a moment before continuing:

"Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, pays attention to the past life and this life, what cause is planted, what fruit will naturally be produced, Bodhidharma turns his back to the broken arm to seek the Dharma, this is the cause, there is a cause and there is an effect, the person who turns his back to the broken arm to seek the Dharma is to find the right person, and found the second ancestor Hui Neng, then it is natural to teach Mahayana Buddhism to the person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm, this is the fruit. Therefore, Bodhidharma faces the wall, turns his back to the person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm, and also faces the person who seeks the Dharma with the broken arm. ”

Qin Yu's truth is actually very simple, just like one thing we often do - to make a bus, getting on the bus is the cause, there is a cause and effect, and getting off the bus is the effect, because we get on the bus, we must get off.

"A good cause and effect says, if the little layman is free, he might as well sit down and talk about Zen with me. Seeing that Master Kong stroked his beard and smiled, he invited Qin Yu.

"The two masters have gifts, and they can't ask for them. ”

At that moment, Xiao Shani on the side sent a futon, Qin Yu thanked him, sat cross-legged, and like the two masters, the three of them formed a triangle.

As Qin Yu sat down, Shani on the side began to persuade the surrounding crowd to disperse, these days Zhikong and Master Jianren every time they debated, after each asked a question, they did not allow others to observe, some of the people around them who often came knew the rules of the Dao, although regretfully they still left, as for some tourists, they were not really interested in these words that listened to the clouds, and they all left when they saw Shani disperse the crowd.

"These laymen may wish to take a stroll around our temple. The crowd quickly disappeared, leaving only Mo Yongxing, Zhang Hua and Tong Min, and Master Zhiren said to them with a smile.

The meaning of Zhiren's words was very polite, but it still carried an obvious sense of expulsion, Mo Yongxing wanted to say a few words, but was pulled away by Zhang Hua.

"Then Xiaoyu, let's go shopping, if you're over, call us. ”

"What is the name of the little layman?" When the three of them walked away, Zhiren opened his mouth and asked Qin Yu.

"Xiao Ke is exempt from your surname Qin, and your single name is Yu. ”

"Do you know why the two of us are arguing under this Bodhi tree? ”

"I guess it's because of the meaning of enlightenment that the Bodhi tree represents in Buddhism. Qin Yu thought for a moment and said his opinion.

"No, although the Bodhi tree is also known as the enlightenment tree, but my generation is far from being able to compare with the predecessors of Zen Buddhism, this Bodhi tree is not less, but this way is difficult to understand, the reason why I am arguing Zen under the Bodhi tree is to wait for a person. Zhiren's gaze softened and looked at Qin Yu.

"Wait for someone, don't you say that the two masters are waiting for Xiao Ke?" Qin Yu is not stupid, Master Zhiren's words have revealed the message, if the person waiting for him is not him, he will not talk to him about it.

"Has Qin Jushi heard the prophecy of Master Sanzang of the Wisdom Medicine under the Bodhi Tree?" Master Zhiren did not directly answer Qin Yu's words, but threw out another question.

"I've heard it, it's a prophecy about prophecy that the six ancestors will become bodhisattvas in the flesh and spread the Dharma. Qin Yu nodded and replied.

"My Buddhist family has a secret technique that has a considerable future, but it is a bit similar to the role of Christian prophecy, and it is only after this secret technique that Master Sanzang of the wisdom medicine has performed this secret technique to know that after 170 years of the Dao, the sixth patriarch Hui Neng will be ordained under the Bodhi tree and teach Mahayana Buddhism, so he left a prophecy. ”

"If the master has something to say, please tell me clearly!"

There are also secret Taoists about prophecy, and unlike the phase master, the phase master is to see the face of the person, determine the fate of the person, and sometimes for some reason, the fate will also change.

feeling

Prophecy is the prediction of what will happen in a certain period of time in the future, and this kind of prediction is generally set in stone and will not be wrong. Of course, the premise is that the person who performs this technique really has this profound ability.

"My Buddha is merciful, more than two months ago, that is, on the night of March 2nd, my former abbot of Guangxiao Temple, Master Mingjue, watched the sky at night, and found that the crape myrtle star moved, the seven stars of the Big Dipper were very bright, and the twenty-four stars were correspondingly bright, and the heavens were blinded, and it seemed that someone had stolen the luck of the stars. Abbot Mingjue was already ninety years old, and in order to find out the abnormal cause of this astrological sign, he performed a secret technique, saw a certain fragment of the future, left us a prophecy, and passed away two days later. ”

"The night of March 2nd?" Qin Yu recalled for a while, and suddenly a fine light flashed in his eyes, wasn't the night of March 2nd the night he touched that quaint gossip tablet to obtain the Zhuge inheritance?

"Could it be that this vision of the stars has something to do with himself? Qin Yu remained silent, since Master Zhiren had said this, as long as he continued to listen, there would be an answer.
