Decameron Zen is also called Decameron, which is a way of practice in Zen Buddhism, I was forced to participate in this Decameron by Liu Laodao, and I didn't have to refute it, so I had to pinch my nose and admit it.

The 10-day meditation class had not yet started a day or two ago, but people came one after another, and finally there were as many as 20 people, some of whom had already participated many times, and some of whom were coming for the first time.

The first-time visitors were obviously much more lively, and they felt very new to see everything, and after communicating with them, I found that they were basically adults in society, and the only purpose of their participation was to be reborn.

Of course, this rebirth is not the rebirth in the novel, but a kind of ideological transformation, they are of different ages, but everyone has their own troubles, or family or work, and the troubles cannot be themselves, so they come to participate in this Decameron, I want to change my state of mind, and many people feel like they have been reborn after participating, so they turn Decameron into rebirth.

After the crowd was gathered, the next day was about to start, and some monks came to collect our personal belongings, wallets, mobile phones, etc., and the Dry Leaves Temple had prepared everything for everyone, even razors.

The monks also told us that we should not leave the dry leaf temple within the Ten Days of Zen, because leaving would mean giving up, the gate would not be locked, and the entrance and exit would be free.

In the evening, we had a final formal dinner, and then waited until six o'clock to start our first meditation, which was the time for their evening class.

Meditation is exquisite, precepts, concentration, and wisdom, so from now on, we have to keep the precepts, and the requirements for new students are lower, as long as the five precepts are, namely, not killing, not stealing, not lewdness, not lying, not drinking, and those who have participated in the Ten Days of Meditation before also add three points, do not eat at noon, do not sleep in a comfortable bed, do not wear ornaments, and are completely in a mode of asceticism.

I pity the freshmen who participated in the Decameron for the first time, but under the instruction of Liu Laodao, they must abide by the rules of the old students.

The next day, the Decameron class officially opened, and at the same time he also talked about a lot of rules, such as forbidden words, that is, they are not allowed to speak, they can't speak except for chanting, which is simply unbearable for those people in society, and not having a mobile phone has made them very uncomfortable, and they can't speak yet, it's like killing them.

Fortunately, the old students will point out the new students and ask them to find something to do to divert their attention, so you will find a lot of interesting things in the Decameron Meditation class, such as walking around the monastery, grabbing a handful of sand and counting the sand to play, or observing the nesting of birds in the trees in the monastery.

And I found a nest of ants, counting ants to play, of course, can't kill, can only make a little joke, but this level is still someone who failed to insist, there is a person who didn't hold on for a long time, left, everyone doesn't care, follow fate.

For the first three and a half days, we mainly meditate, that is, meditate, and then observe our breathing, feel the feeling of air entering our nostrils, and the time is twelve hours, and we can rest for a while every hour.

This process is extremely difficult for new students, and most of them will have back pain and desperately pinch their feet after meditating for the first time for an hour.

Naturally, I'm okay, Liu Laodao has always taught me to meditate, and I've been practicing for a long time, but I haven't spent so much time at one time, so a little patience has passed, and some old students who have participated many times have also easily passed.

As for the new students, one person told me afterwards that the first night was the sweetest sleep he had in five or six years, and that his insomnia for many years felt cured.

We woke up very early, we were woken up by the bell at four o'clock, then we had half an hour to wash up, then we went to the meditation room to meditate, two hours, then we went to the cafeteria to eat, then we rested and then meditated until eleven o'clock, we ate, and we continued to meditate at one o'clock in the afternoon, until five o'clock.

After five o'clock, the new students can eat fruit and lemonade, but the old students are miserable, only lemonade can be drunk, I feel that the fruit is so sweet for the first time, I am already going crazy, no one controls me, I really want to grab a handful of fruit to eat, but I stopped stiffly, the reason is nothing, I don't want Liu Laodao to look down on it.

In the evening, we will continue to meditate for an hour, and then we will be summarized by the monk master, and it will end at 9 o'clock.

At the end of the first day, everyone was exhausted, including me, and even some freshmen secretly wanted to cry, of course, there were people who couldn't help it, and when they got up the next day, they ran again, but most of the rest of the people were gritting their teeth and holding on, and it was not so easy.

I have to say that people's adaptability is very strong, and by the second day, most people did not feel so painful on the first day, and by the third and fourth days, basically everyone had adapted to it, and those who did not adapt had already left.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, we start to enter the wisdom, which is to move from Anapana to Inner Vision, which is not difficult, which is to look at yourself while meditating, to observe your whole body, from beginning to end, until you can observe all the subtle changes in yourself.

However, the inner vision method is also the most dangerous time, because you observe every subtle change in your body, and at the same time, it also magnifies the pain in your body many times, and everyone's past emotions will be recalled in your mind over and over again, and most of these emotions are negative emotions.

Hatred, anger, pain, hatred, this kind of negative emotions come one after another, like a tide, so that you can repeat the scene at any time and at any time, many people will collapse at this time, some will yell angrily, some will walk around irritablely, those monks will not care about you, some will go out and come back, continue to meditate, and some will give up completely.

On the first day of my career, five people walked away, and even I almost broke down, because my negative emotions were no less than any less, and I remembered the great flood that year, and watched my whole family disappear in the flood.

I remembered the scene after the flood, when the day was precarious, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger, like hell, and I even remembered the despair of being caught by Li Sanye and buried alive in the coffin by Boss Chen.

I have carried all these emotions, but every time I recall, it will make my whole person become extremely irritable, I can't wait to kill Li Sanye and Boss Chen again, I feel that my whole person is silent in hatred.

As a last resort, I could only silently recite the Taoist scriptures, what the pure heart mantra, the meditation mantra all over and over again, so that there was no complete collapse and outbreak.

It wasn't until the eighth day that this anger suddenly disappeared, as if it had gone with the wind, not just me, but everybody, as if they had been reborn, and I was finally able to understand why they had made this decameron a rebirth, really like a rebirth.

This sudden enlightenment makes people feel happy, and everyone wants to share it, but unfortunately there are still precepts to keep, and everyone has to look at others with bright eyes.

On the tenth day, the ban was lifted, and even the mobile phone was returned to us, and many people were very excited to take pictures around with their mobile phones, or call their relatives and friends, after all, it was almost ten days since they lost contact, and it was time to report safety.

On the eleventh day, many people spontaneously began to donate money and stuff money into the merit box, although this kind of decameron is free of charge, but in the end we are eating and drinking people's houses, and everyone feels the benefits of this decameron, and people who want to face will not be untouched.

However, the amount of money donated is all voluntary, and if the economy is good, give a little more, and if you are poor, even if you give ten yuan, no one will say anything about you.

In the afternoon, the members who made it to the end had an exchange meeting to share their feelings with each other, and the most beneficial thing among these people was that their tempers improved.

Many people have reported that they were irritable, irritable, pessimistic, and so on before they came, but after the practice, they were very calm, and they also had a lot of new realizations when looking at some of their previous troubles, and all in all, they gained a lot.

After the exchange, the members began to leave, and I returned to Liu Laodao.

"Yes, depending on your mental outlook, this Decameron Zen should be very rewarding, how about it, thank you very much for being a teacher, let you regain your life?"

Liu Laodao looked at me and said with a smile, it is difficult to hide a person's mental outlook, and it will be reflected in his face.

"The harvest is very big, but I really want to eat a meal of meat now, I think I can eat three catties alone"

I rolled my eyes, and I don't need to say that the harvest is big, but I am very eager to eat meat now.

When Liu Laodao heard this, his whole face suddenly darkened, just like the bottom of the pot.
