Chapter 143: To the Void, Keep Quiet
Two days later, on the shores of West Lake.
The three Xuanwei masters and apprentices wearing Taoist robes came to the previously agreed position early.
It didn't take long for Puji, Cheng Nian, and three other monks to arrive.
"Amitabha, let the Xuan Micro Master wait for a long time. Puji saluted.
Xuan Wei replied with an indifferent smile: "The poor Dao master and apprentice have just arrived. ”
"Now that we're all together, let's go!" Puji nodded.
According to Puji's arrangement, everyone will walk to the station first and take a long-distance bus to Jinling.
A group of eight people, including monks and Taoists, old and young, and even men and women, such a strange and alternative combination immediately attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
"Uh, what's the situation?
"Is it the latest performance art, or is it cosplay?"
"In terms of appearance, the Daomen side has exploded the Buddha Gate!"
"I think these monks are quite generous, and they feel different from those deceitful wine and meat monks!"
The discussion spread from reality to the Internet, and some sharp-eyed almighty netizens quickly recognized the identities of Xuan Wei and others.
Just like Sherlock Holmes, Di Renjie, and Conan were collectively possessed, relying on the information of a scaly claw, netizens actually followed the vine and deduced that Xuanwei and others went to Yanjing to participate in an exchange meeting between religious people.
After all, each circle has its own internal communication methods, and compared to the exchange meeting, netizens are more curious about when did Tiandiguan hook up with its neighbor Lingchan Temple?
Some local pilgrims have said that in their impression, the relationship between the two is completely the relationship between the well water and the river water.
Even after the rapid rise of the Tiandiguan recently, which attracted many pilgrims, some netizens speculated that there may be friction and intensified contradictions between the two.
However, at this moment, the picture of the two sides walking together in a very harmonious way has very effectively shattered the rumors and speculations about this wind direction.
Along the way, everyone seemed to have their own luminous bodies and enjoyed the treatment of being treated as pandas.
And at this time, it is not difficult to see the gap between the people in their state of mind cultivation.
Puji smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his expression was calm, like Shakyamuni Buddha smiling with flowers.
Just looking at him, you can feel a state of mind that is peaceful, peaceful, leisurely, and wonderful.
Perhaps there is still some distance from Shakyamuni Buddha's pure, untainted, desireless, greedless, unrestrained, unshakable, and eternal state of mind, but Xuan Wei can assert that Puji has touched the supreme state of "unphased" and "nirvana".
Cheng Nian behind Pu Ji, he still had a look of joy and sadness, as if he completely ignored the eyes around him and passers-by.
In other words, he escaped into the realm of "selflessness", completely cut off from the outside world.
The other three, younger monks, on the other hand, were somewhat uneasy, although they were somewhat calm.
On the side of Heaven and Earth View, Xuanwei's expression was indifferent, which fully reflected his solid state of mind cultivation.
Although Ming Ye is young, his little face is tense, and his solemn and solemn expression actually gives people the illusion of a rock-like calmness.
In this regard, even Puji couldn't help but admire, and regretted that Buddhism missed such a good seedling!
As for Qinglian, she is probably the one who can't be calmed down.
Among the group, in terms of eye-catching level alone, Qinglian and Xuanwei are definitely the first gear.
was stared at like a monkey by so many people, and from time to time he was talked about and secretly photographed, and he was absolutely fried directly by Qinglian in his usual life!
However, considering the possible consequences, Qinglian had a cold and pretty face, pouted unpleasantly, and silently recited the secret of purifying her heart in her heart, barely restraining her negative emotions.
"To the extreme, keep quiet. Xuanwei glanced at Qinglian, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said softly.
To the void, the way of heaven is also. Those who keep quiet, the way of the earth. If the way of heaven is not void to the extreme, then the temperament of all things is not real. If the way of the earth is not kept quiet, it will be the most truthful.
The wonder of silence, nothing is not gifted, nothing is not affected, nothing is nothing!
Qinglian, who was silently reciting the secret of purifying her heart, heard the words, as if she had seen the sun through the clouds, and had a new understanding of this scripture that she had been reciting every day.
"To the extreme" refers to the extreme of emptiness, without a trace of distractions and pollution, clear and clear.
The "emptiness" of Taoism and the "emptiness" of Buddhism are actually somewhat similar, both of which are a state of mind.
The difference is that "emptiness" is to abandon all aspects and purify one's own nature, while "emptiness" is to remove one's subjective consciousness of one's own cognition of the world and make it clear and natural.
"Keeping quiet" means staying in a state of stillness and staying steadfast.
Still, it is called "quiet", keep one's original intention of seeking the Tao, remain steadfast, and not be disturbed by negative factors from the outside world, and finally can truly attain the Tao.
When Xuan Wei said this, he was actually reminding Qinglian that instead of passively "quieting", it is better to take the initiative to learn "emptiness".
Obviously, Qinglian also realized this.
Pu Ji, who also heard this, looked at Xuanwei, sighed lightly and said, "The future is terrifying!"
In comparison, Cheng Nian, who is also a rising star of Lingchan Temple, is still a line behind, not as good as Xuanwei.
Compared with self-realization, it is undoubtedly more rare and more difficult to teach people to understand!
……
The group arrived at the bus station, bought tickets and went to the waiting hall.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the ticket gate.
"Old man, please cooperate with our work, we are very embarrassed by you!" said the staff standing at the security checkpoint to an old man wearing a hat.
The old man with a pocket pointed at the staff and shouted, "Young man, are you blackmailing me? What's the matter, do you think I'm old and easy to bully?"
The staff hurriedly explained: "Old man, according to the regulations, luggage and items must go through the security check." ”
The old man did not restrain himself because the staff lowered their posture, but leaned back his nostrils and stretched out his elbow to knock away the staff holding the security checker.
"I didn't bring any prohibited items, are you trying to enforce the law violently?" the old man shouted in a thick voice.
The staff who were hit were a little embarrassed, especially when they saw that many people around them had begun to take pictures for fear of causing a bad impact.
"Alas, old man, go over!" the security officer said helplessly, and the security detector in his hand symbolically waved twice in front of the old man.
The old man turned over in annoyance and kicked the staff member in the leg.
At the same time, the old man copied a bag of buns and a bowl of tofu brain from the bag he was carrying, and smashed them directly on the staff.
"Little cub, don't you know that thing has nuclear radiation? If you sweep it away like this, Lao Tzu can still eat it? Do you know that this is murder?" the old man scolded angrily.
The staff who was doused with tofu brains was very embarrassed, and said to the old man with a little grievance: "Why do you beat people?"
