In the solemn hall of the Mahavira Treasure Hall, there is a gilded statue of the Buddha in front, and the rows of monks below are meditating and participating in meditation.

Ye Feng was also sitting here, sitting on a futon, and there was a wooden fish in front of him. Ye was sitting steadily, and it looked like that was the case.

Suddenly an outsider came, and the monks in the hall were naturally very curious. Looking at Ye Feng, he was already muttering quietly.

"Who is this man?"

"Why is there another outsider in our temple?"

"Didn't Master say that he would be closed in the future and no outsiders would be seen?"

"Shhhhh

"Huh?"

"Really?"

"How could he be alone?"

"Not only that, our gate has been broken by him. He alone smashed the gate, and it was terrible. ”

"Our abbot master is not his opponent, is he?"

"The abbot invited him to come to the morning class, and he wanted to discuss Buddhism with him. ”

In addition to the old monks in the main hall, there are small monks, and the old monks should be very old, and they all sit at the front, reciting the scriptures with their eyes closed. But the group of little monks in the back, the cultivation is not enough, and they chatter non-stop.

Looking at the whispering appearance of this group of little monks, Ye Feng laughed out loud with a "poof". I have to say that this group of little monks is still a little cute, and their youngest is as big as a baby girl, and they still speak milkily.

However, Ye Feng's smile made some of the old monks in front of him dissatisfied, and an old monk said: "Why did the donor laugh when he participated in Zen?"

The so-called morning class is actually meditation and meditation, of course, there will be masters coming out to give lectures, but it is not yet that time.

"If you want to laugh, you can laugh, what's wrong?" Ye Feng said casually.

The old monk frowned, "I heard what the abbot said, the donor understands Buddha?" This old monk has never gone out, and has been meditating in the main hall.

Ye Feng glanced at the abbot next to him with his eyes closed, and chuckled: "Naturally, I understand." ”

At this time, the abbot spoke, "I thought that the donor understood the Buddha, but the donor's heart has never been quiet, so how can he understand the Buddha? The abbot also felt that Ye Feng's smile was not quiet.

That's not true. ”

Ye Feng shook his head and said: "When the Buddha preached the scriptures, he used to smile, why can't I laugh when I meditate and participate in Zen? Is it because my heart is not quiet, or do you have ripples in your hearts?"

"This ......"

The old monk was stunned, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and did not say a word.

At this time, another old monk said: "The donor has spoken in vain, how dare he compare with the Buddha? The Buddha has already reached the ultimate realm, and our cultivation is still shallow, if we don't even have such basic skills as meditation, how can we talk about becoming a Buddha?"

Ye Feng smiled, looked at him and said, "Meditation and meditation, what's the use?"

As soon as Ye Feng's words came out, the monks in the hall were immediately unhappy, and the old monk was about to open his mouth to refute, but Ye Feng didn't give him a chance at all, and said directly: "Born to sit or not, dead to lie down or not, a stinky bone, what is a homework?"

The monks were stunned, and the host suddenly opened his eyes.

The little monks below were also stunned, looking at Ye Feng dumbfounded.

This person can actually speak Zen?

Born to sit and not sit, dead to lie and not sit, a stinky bone, what is a homework?

People who don't understand the Dharma can't understand it at all, but those who really understand it can hear the subtlety of it with one ear, and the profundity of this mystery is not at all something that ordinary masters can say!

How could he, a lay child, have such a deep knowledge of Buddhism?

The meaning of these four Zen sayings is simply that if you are obsessed with how to meditate and participate in Zen, then are you studying Zen or Buddhism? If you are studying Buddhism, but the Buddha has no fixed posture, what is the use of you learning Zen? If you practice Buddhism by meditating and participating in Zen, you will never succeed.

Many monks in the main hall looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, especially those warrior monks just now, such a violent guy, could actually say such a Buddha verse?

They kind of can't take it.

At this time, the abbot spoke, he first whispered the Buddha's name, and then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Although the donor understands the Dharma, he is clever and vain. You first ruined my mountain gate and hurt my fellow disciples, but you did not admit evil, and you used clever words to argue and distort the teachings of Buddhism; now you are uncertain, but you are clever and ridiculed each other, and forcibly justify your mistakes. If you take refuge in my Buddha, you will be able to achieve positive results and jump out of the evil of this red dust, isn't it good?"

"Good and good! What the abbot said is right, the donor should take refuge in my Buddha and avoid going astray. An old monk also followed.

Looking at these kind-hearted old monks, Ye Feng shook his head with a smile and said: "Hongchen is practice, I practice just right, why should the master spoil my chance? If there is a Buddha in your heart, look back and see Lingshan!"

Hiss!

Ye Feng's words suddenly calmed down the monks!

Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart?

If there is a Buddha in your heart, look back and see that it is Lingshan?

This is really the first time they have heard of this statement!

Moreover, there are mysteries everywhere, and the more you taste, the more exquisite you feel!

Several old monks are a little confused, they usually fool others, how many masters are just confused by the Dharma, and finally converted? But this time, they found that they met a person who can fool more than them? Several old monks, listening to Ye Feng's sentence "If there is a Buddha in your heart, looking back, it is Lingshan", they all wanted to take refuge in Ye Feng!

"Humph!"

An old monk snorted heavily, the old monk still had bruises on his face, and said angrily: "You wicked person, you dare to distort Buddhism and confuse the public with your words?"

Ye Feng looked at him lightly and said, "Did I hurt someone?"

"Not you or who?" said the old monk's glare.

Ye Feng chuckled, did not answer directly, but took out the classic story of his previous life, raised the small mallet in his hand, and pointed to a flag in the corner of the temple, "The wind blows the flag, do you say the wind is moving? Or is the flag moving?"

The youngest monk below replied the fastest, and said in a milky voice: "Of course the wind is moving!"

Ye Feng shook his head with a smile.

The old monk with bruises on his face whispered, "The flag is moving!"

Ye Feng still shook his head with a smile.

At this time, the youngest little monk scratched his bald head and asked puzzledly, "What's moving?"

Not only this little monk, in fact, everyone wanted to know the answer, and even the abbot listened slightly.

Ye Feng raised his eyes and said softly, "It's your hearts that are moving." ”

This little story of Buddhism is familiar in previous lives, and it tells us that we are always too subjective in looking at things, and what you think is only what you think, do you think that I hit you? If you didn't do it first, would you be beaten?

The little monk seemed to be thoughtful, but the faces of these old monks suddenly became unsightly.

This guy is still taking advantage of people after beating people, right?

However, as soon as Ye Feng's Buddhist doctrine came out, he really talked about his beating of people! On the contrary, it seemed that their group of warrior monks were too reckless and had no Buddha nature.

The old monk's face with bruises on his face was very ugly, and the abbot only bowed his head slightly, and said: "The Buddha said, 'Sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants, cherish the moth gauze lamp', even ants and moths should not be injured by mistake, wouldn't the donor go to hell if he hurts people?"

As a person who has seen ghosts, Ye Feng didn't think about it, and said directly: "I believe it!" Then he believes it too much, he believes it now more than anyone else!

The abbot said, "Since the donor also believes, then why don't you fear it? The good can go to heaven when they die, but the wicked will go to the eighteen layers of hell when they die." ”

Ye Feng said: "Dare to ask the master, where is the heaven, and where is the hell?"

The abbot frowned, he really hadn't thought about this, so he could only fold his hands and say: "I have never been to heaven, nor have I ever gone to hell, can the donor know?"

Ye Feng smiled, "I naturally know." He stretched out his hand and said, "In your hearts, in all directions." ”

"Oh, in my heart, why can't I see it?" the abbot's face did not change.

Ye Feng grinned, picked up the small mallet in his hand and headed it towards the abbot's bald head.

The surrounding monks were suddenly furious, and they stood up and were about to fight Ye Feng.

Ye Feng smiled unhurriedly, pointed at them, and said to the abbot: "Look, this is hell. ”

When the monks who stood up heard this, their movements froze directly, and they stood in place as if they had realized something.

Ye Feng smiled again, "Look, this is heaven. ”

As soon as the words fell, the monks in the main hall looked at each other, it turned out that heaven and hell meant this in their hearts! The old monks who stood up folded their hands, chanted the Buddha's name to Ye Feng, and sat down again.

The abbot asked, "What is Heaven and Hell?"

Ye Feng didn't think about it, and casually said another Buddhist verse, "One flower and one world, one tree and one floating life, one grass and one heaven, one leaf and one come, one sand and one bliss, one side and one pure land, one smile and one dust, one thought and one purity." ”

The monks in the main hall, one is counted as one, and they are all stunned when they hear it, and they look at Ye Feng blankly.

Even the abbot was slightly distracted, "Since the donor understands hell and heaven, why doesn't he have good thoughts in his heart, isn't he afraid of falling into hell forever and not being reincarnated?"

Listening to the abbot's question, Ye Feng chuckled at the corner of his mouth, just looked at the abbot like this, and didn't say a word.

The abbot asked, "What is the donor laughing at?"

The abbot asked, Ye Feng immediately laughed, laughing quite heroically, "I laugh at the suffering of all living beings, I laugh at the ignorance of this world!" Ye Feng looked up to the sky and smiled, and then the laughter stopped abruptly, only to see Ye Feng clasp his hands together, lower his eyebrows, and sigh softly: "Nan Wu Amitabha, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
