Chapter 223, Shu Huang is not a bad person

"Today, the poor monks open the altar to preach the scriptures, hoping that you can understand the concept of my Buddhism, see clearly, know your heart, and purify your heart. Zen Master Kongmi sat on the futon, his face indifferent, looking at everyone.

The people gradually quieted down, even the happiest fat man who danced in the front row quieted down, even though he came to this Dalin Temple to show off, but he was still a devout pilgrim in essence.

If it weren't for the Buddhist pilgrims, he wouldn't have regarded coming to this Dalin Temple to listen to the scriptures as a kind of show-off.

After everyone was quiet, Zen Master Kongmi said indifferently.

"Donor, what do you think is the suffering of life?"

The fat man said to the fat man, and after knowing that he was being asked by the master of the sky, the fat man's face was full of joy, and he first stood up, looked around with a show-off expression, and then stood up and waved his suit.

"Of course it's poor, money is not everything, but no money is everything, you can really do whatever you want, it can solve almost all your problems, there is no one. ”

Although the fat man's words are very rough, they also reflect a large part of the reality, and money can really do whatever he wants, this is the status quo and cannot be refuted.

Zen Master Kongjian did not refute, did not debate, but said lightly.

"Buddhism has eight sufferings, the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of not begging, and the suffering of the five yins. ”

Everyone nodded, these words are actually very easy to understand, birth, old age, sickness and death, parting resentment, the suffering of not getting it, and the suffering of nature covering.

"However, the so-called suffering comes from personal desires, no desires and no desires, no desires are rigid, no desires are not bitter, no desires are light, detached from things, not in the red dust..."

Xuanshan, who was on the other side, listened to the words of the Zen master Kongjian and said with a stunned face.

"Is this a monk or a Taoist, and if you don't have any desire, you just don't want it, I said why does it sound so familiar... How can you be so like our Taoist solitude..."

"Stupid, this is Confucianism, the words of the Analects, it is said that only by having no desire and no desire can we achieve the state of self-forgetfulness, and the study of a thing is beyond the object... Isn't it often said that sword gods such as the only sword of self-consciousness and idealism, their thoughts are derived from Confucian self-forgetfulness and detachment. Xuanhui also nodded deeply and said: "It is this [no desire] that integrates Confucianism that allows Zen Master Kongjian to concentrate on studying the scriptures for so many years, although I admire it, but I always feel that it is against human nature." ”

If there is no desire, then man becomes steel.

"It is precisely because you have too much desire that you have the idea that money can achieve everything, but when you have the idea that money can bear everything, you will also worry that one day you will lose this money, isn't this the so-called pain of parting?" said Kumi Zen Master, looking at the fat man.

The fat man was also speechless at this time, and even felt that what Zen Master Kongjian said was quite reasonable, focusing too much on money and ignoring other things, this time he came to the Buddhist temple just to show off...

Although he felt that this was a little strange, the fat man couldn't refute it for a while.

"Zen Master Kongjian, is it really desireless?" At this time, Li Yun said suddenly.

"Yes, in charge of such a large temple, with a kind heart, he does not ask for external things, but just quietly studies the scriptures and transmits the Zen principles in the scriptures. Xuan Li said with a look of course.

"But he studied the scriptures hard and wanted to pass on the Zen teachings, isn't this the so-called desire?" Li Yun asked rhetorically, leaving Xuanli a little speechless.

But then Xuan Li said: "Studying the scriptures and passing on Zen principles is the principle of Buddhism, not the desire of a Zen master..."

"Then to convey Buddhist thoughts, it can also be said that it is the desire of the empty Zen master, not without desire, isn't it?" Li Yun smiled slightly.

At this time, Zhizhi, who was one of the first seats on the stage, saw Li Yun muttering something, and instantly became embarrassed.

"This little Taoist, you seem to have some opinions about our abbot's words, why don't you tell me and listen to it?"

At this time, everyone turned around and saw Li Yun's side, their faces were not very good, and they all felt that the Kongjian Zen Master had nothing to refute, what opinion did this Taoist priest have?

Li Yun was very calm and said directly.

"Layman, you have sinned against you. ”

Wise was speechless for a while, but he still said strongly: "Dao Chief, let's not say whether the poor monk has violated the precepts for the time being, now you are taking the lead in disrupting the order of the conference and disrupting the abbot of my family's preaching, this is the truth!"

"If the Lord of the Cloud Views has any lofty opinions, he can speak, and the poor monks should listen with an open mind. "Zen Master Kongmi didn't reprimand Wise this time, but just folded his hands.

"Since the abbot said it, then the poor road will say it. Li Yun stood up, looked at the Kongjian Zen master and said: "There is nothing wrong with the saying that there is no desire, but desire is the source of human progress, apes are eager to walk on their feet, and they have become human beings, human beings are eager to fly into the sky, so there are airplanes, human beings are eager to seek order, and there is law, and now humanity and prosperity come from desire." ”

Li Yun felt that if there were no human beings' desire for the unknown, there would not be so many different things filling the world now.

Although there are bad ones, such as gambling, drug abuse, and [beep], in most cases, desire is the source of human progress.

However, the expressions of the people around him are a little strange, they want this kind of thing, why can they be brought to the surface...

Isn't it all lofty to cultivate the Tao and cultivate the Buddha?

"Crooked and heretical, gossips to confuse the public, can say your desires so lofty, as far as you are a Taoist priest who pays off your desires, I think you are like a layman in the market. Wise did not hide his disdain in the slightest.

"Amitabha, if you have desires, you will be confused, and if you have no desires, you will not be confused, and if you are not confused, you will see the fog ahead. Zen Master Kongjian clasped his hands together and looked at Li Yundao with clear eyes: "If a person is lost in desire, he will only become a monster to be dominated..."

"That's right, this Taoist priest is a demon Tao, and the devil confuses the public, you are not welcome in this Dalin Temple, you leave, the person who can talk about his desires is definitely not a good person. Wise preemptively, looking at the vast majority of the people around him and his thoughts, a sense of revenge welled up on his face.

The opposition on the field became louder and louder, especially those monks, who also felt that this remark was really biased, Li Yun was still indifferent, ignoring these objections.

However, at this moment, a voice came.

"Uncle... He's not a bad guy!"

Some immature, but firm voices.

Following the prestige, it was a little girl without feet.
