Guangxiao Temple incense is prosperous, tourists are endless, there is a scenic spot to Guangxiao Temple has to go, that is Guangxiao Bodhi, one of the eight views of Yangcheng.

There is a Bodhi tree planted in Guangxiao Temple, which is transplanted from Tianzhu Gaoshen Wisdom Medicine Sanzang, and it is the first Bodhi sapling transplanted in China's historical records.

The wisdom medicine Sanzang once prophesied: One hundred and seventy years after me, when a bodhisattva with a physical body will perform the multiplication method under this tree, he will save countless people. One hundred and seventy-four years later, the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng was ordained under this tree, which confirmed what the wisdom medicine Sanzang said.

It was only when Qin Yu and the others came to the Bodhi Tree that they found that the Bodhi Tree was already full of people and crowded into a circle, but unlike the Chinese people, this group of people just stared at the circle silently and did not talk silently.

"Go over and see. ”

Mo Yongxing liked to join in the fun the most, and was the first to rush into the crowd, taking advantage of his body, and just squeezed out a way, standing at the front of the circle, ignoring the angry eyes of the people around him.

With Mo Yongxing's opening of the way, it was much more convenient for Qin Yu and the three of them, and they also followed to the front of the crowd, and a few people looked into the circle, only to find that there were two elderly monks in the circle.

The two old monks sit opposite each other, each with a futon at the bottom, both of them are wearing robes, people who are familiar with Buddhism know that only the abbot of a temple or the master of high morality is qualified to wear, the identity of these two old monks must not be simple.

"Qin Yu, what are these two monks doing, sitting here for a long time without moving. Mo Yongxing looked at it for a while, and found that the two old monks were motionless, and the crowd was also holding their breath, so he couldn't help but feel bored, and asked Qin Yu.

"I guess I'm meditating. Qin Yu is not sure, it seems that these two seem to be meditating, but the meditation of the Buddhists is very particular, and they generally choose to be in a quiet meditation room, and then light a Zen incense.

"The two masters are going to perform a sharp debate, the one on the left is Master Zhiren of Guangxiao Temple, and the one on the right is Master Jiankong of Nanhua Temple, and the two masters have to perform a sharp debate under the Bodhi tree every day, and it has been going on for several days. A middle-aged man beside him heard the conversation between Qin Yu and Mo Yongxing and explained in a low voice.

Isn't the monk particular about having no desires and no desires, and the four major ones are all empty, why are they still debating? Mo Yongxing continued to ask.

"Sharp-witted Zen is when the debater confirms to each other's depth of practice through some wit. This time, it was Qin Yu who explained to Mo Yongxing.

However, he found that the effect was not great, not only Mo Yongxing was still confused, but even his cousins Zhang Hua and Tong Min looked at him with puzzled expressions, and they had to clear their thoughts and explain them in detail.

In Zen Buddhism, it is cited as a phrase that contains profound Buddhist teachings, which means that Zen masters and others often express their own realm or test each other with profound, indicative and even illogical words.

The wind banner theory of the six ancestors is a sharp edge, the edge has several characteristics, one is fast and fast, not to think, the other is as sharp as an arrow, straight as an arrow, the six ancestors said: "not the wind, not the flag, but the benevolent heart", pointing directly to the hearts of the people, such as the earth-shattering.

In fact, it is not only the Zen master who will carry out the wit, the ancient literati also like to participate in the Zen fighting machine, in the dream of the Red Mansion Shuangyu will often participate in the Zen fighting machine, which in the first half of the twenty-second chapter of the "listening to the song Wenbao Yuwu Zen machine" there is a dialogue of the wit. ”

"The little brother is young, I didn't expect to know so much about the Tao, and now young people know the Tao all day long and pursue some foreign idol dramas, and some of our traditional culture is not understood. ”

The middle-aged man cocked his thumb after hearing Qin Yu's words, obviously complimenting Qin Yu, but his words made Mo Yongxing and Zhang Hua quite embarrassed, it seemed that they were the kind of young people who didn't know much about traditional culture.

"Our sixth ancestor is a famous witty debater, he handed down the "Thirty-six Pairs of Laws" is the main opponent of Nanchan Sharp, since the little brother understands the edge, he must have heard the allusion of a night's sleep. ”

"Well, I've read it in the book, and it's about a wit between the Sixth Ancestor Huineng and one of his five disciples, Master Xuanjue. ”

The allusion of Yijue, Qin Yu once read in the Yongjia local chronicle books, Master Xuanjue was already a Taoist monk before he became a disciple of the Six Ancestors, and he visited the Buddha and Zen in Xianyan Mountain in Ruian County.

One day, when Xuanjue was reading the Vimala Sutra, he suddenly felt that the inside and outside were clear, and the realm mentioned in the scriptures was no different from his own inner world, and his own nature was like that, so Master Xuanjue decided to travel outside the mountains, study the world, and find someone to corroborate.

It was precisely because of fate that Xuan Jue and Xuan Ce, the disciple of the Six Ancestors, met, and the two hit it off at first sight, and the conversation was also very speculative, so they decided to join forces to consult the Six Ancestors.

When he arrived at the temple of the six ancestors, the six ancestors were sitting on the futon, and Xuan Jue did not wait for Xuan Ce's introduction, so he walked to the six ancestors, shook the tin rod and made a rattling sound, rotated around the six groups three times, and then stood with his zhang in his hand, neither praying nor making a sound.

The Sixth Ancestor glanced at him and said slowly: "As a monk, you should have 3,000 prestige and 80,000 fine deeds, may I ask where you come from, you are so arrogant and rude." ”

Xuan Jue didn't care, and said: "Life and death are the biggest things in life, and the changes of various causes and conditions are rapid and impermanent, and other things are not important in my opinion, so I don't care about any prestige or etiquette."

The Sixth Patriarch asked again: "In that case, why don't you comprehend the truth of immortality, no speed and no slowness." ”

Xuan Jue replied: "According to my experience, everything in the world has no life and death, existence or non-existence, so if you don't comprehend it, it doesn't exist in the first place, let alone whether it's fast or slow. ”

After hearing this, the Sixth Patriarch said happily: "It is exactly like this, you have realized the true meaning of Zen. ”

Hearing the praise of the six ancestors, the monks on both sides were incredible, the six groups rarely praised others, and the wandering monk in front of him was very unusual.

After getting the seal of the six ancestors, Xuan Jue arranged his robe in accordance with the etiquette and rules of Zen worship, and respectfully kowtowed to the six ancestors.

Xuan Jue's first and then Gong was very unexpected by everyone, but what the monks didn't expect was that after the ceremony, Xuan Jue got up to say goodbye and was about to go down the mountain to leave.

Group Six asked, "You're leaving, too fast, aren't you?"

Who knew that Xuanjue had no wind and waves, provoking a confrontation with the teacher.

"It's not automatic, but the body is fast?" didn't move in the first place, so where was there anything fast or unfast.

The Sixth Ancestor remained silent and said, "You said that you are not moving, so who is knowing that the Tao is not moving." ”

"The benevolent are born of their own differences," Xuan Jue replied.

This is a sharp handover, and the sixth ancestor smiled: "You are so deep that you have no meaning of life." ”

The words of the Sixth Ancestor seem to be affirming Xuan, but in fact, there is a hidden edge inside, since no life lies in the heart, how can you get it.

Xuan Jue realized the wit in the words of the six ancestors, and threw out another sentence: "How can there be no intention?"

Sixth Ancestor: "Who is not intended to be separated?"

Xuan Jue: "Separation is not meaningful. ”

The witty confrontation between the two made the surrounding monks confused, only Xuan Ce thought a little on the side, and the six ancestors saw that Xuan Jue saw that he understood thoroughly and left no traces, he was very happy, and pulled him to stay in the meditation room for one night, and the master and apprentice participated in Zen together.

The next day, Xuan Jue said goodbye to the six ancestors, left the temple, and later Xuan Jue wrote a song of Taoism in the prosperous era, called the master of Wuxiang, and later people called him and the six ancestors to talk about Zen Tao at night as a night.

The witty argument of Zen Buddhism is incomprehensible to those who do not have a certain amount of Dharma, especially this kind of confrontation between lightning and flint that cannot be thought about is a test of understanding and wit.

"Those who listen to it in a daze, monks just like to play dumb riddles. ”

Qin Yu whispered to a few people for a long time and felt allusions, and after listening to Qin Yu's words, the confusion on the faces of Mo Yongxing and the three of them not only did not decrease, but increased a little.

"Buddhism pays attention to the Buddha's destiny and pays attention to the wisdom of the root, which is probably what it says. Tong Min was thoughtful.

"The little brother is good, and he also knows where the wit of the six ancestors in the Lu Dao allusion is, not bad, not bad. The middle-aged man didn't expect Qin Yu to be so familiar with this allusion, and even remembered the wit of the Sixth Ancestor and Master Xuanjue, which was beyond his expectations.

"These are all summed up by predecessors, and I just copy and study. Qin Yu replied modestly.

"What's wrong with copying and studying, just find some young people on the street and ask, I'm afraid I don't even know the name of the allusion to Yijue. ”

"If you have this time to watch this, you might as well watch this playboy. Mo Yongxing pursed his lips and muttered quietly.

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

Just as Mo Yongxing finished grunting, the two masters in the circle opened their eyes at the same time, and the master on the right clasped his hands together and asked slowly:

"Bodhidharma Patriarch, facing the wall for nine years, may I ask Bodhidharma facing the wall, where is his back?"

PS: Eight o'clock to get home to start the code, code this chapter is really tired, I have always wanted to write that kind of Zen taste, but unfortunately the nine lamps of the pen are insufficient, changed a few times can only go to this point, about a sleep, if you are interested, you can go and see. The collection has finally broken a thousand, and all Taoist friends are very powerful, can you give Jiudeng a few more recommendation votes to encourage.
