Chapter 390, Age and Zen Principles
Entering the door, the Taoist priests who arrived first all gathered together in twos and threes to chat and talk about the land, among which Xuanli was the leader, and all the people gathered around him.
"Fellow Xuanli Daoist, let this Cloud Viewer Lord preside... Is it really good?" the gray-bearded old Taoist priest hesitated: "At a young age, my understanding of the Taoist scriptures must be inferior to yours..."
Listening to the compliments of the bearded Taoist priest, Xuan Li couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fellow Daoist, you are lifting me, compared to the Lord of Yunguan, I spend more time on weekdays running Taoist temples, I am afraid that my understanding of Taoist scriptures is also very shallow, don't always regard poor Taoism as an authority, it's just that the family happens to have a little money, and I just have a false position in an association." ”
"Don't be humble... It's not that I haven't heard you preach in the past, and that is to benefit me a lot from the old Taoist. The old Taoist priest didn't want to say anything, he recognized Xuanli from the bottom of his heart.
Qingyue next to him, as well as Mingye and Mingli, also came up to say hello.
Genri responded with a smile.
"Qingyue Daoyou..."
"Xuanli Daoyou, I haven't seen you for so many days, and you seem to be more and more moisturized. Qingyue said with a slight smile.
"Hahaha, Qingyue Daoyou, you can also see it, of course. Xuanli put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and smiled indifferently: "That's because Poor Dao has found a girlfriend..."
I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, and even Qingyue was speechless for a while, only the bright night next to her and Mingli's eyes were shining.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Xuan Li smiled with a natural smile: "Why is this expression, is it strange for Poor Dao to find a girlfriend?"
"Ahem, cough, we are monks..."The old Taoist priest said with a somewhat unnatural face: "No matter what you say, you are also the representative of the local Taoist leader, I always feel..."
"Poor Dao is not a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires, I have seven emotions and six desires, and I also have a girl I like, my dream is to give birth to a boy and a girl, a dragon and a phoenix fetus, and a family to enjoy the joy of family. Xuan Li took out his mobile phone with a smile on his face, and opened the photo album, which was a photo of a young girl, wearing a white nurse's uniform, with a beautiful appearance, a hospital nurse.
The faces of the monks and Taoists next to them were a little unnatural, including Qingyue, and after a pause, they said: "What an accident, I originally thought that you would be closer to the dust..."
Xuan Li didn't speak, he understood the thoughts of those born Taoist friends, just like preaching that small animals are really delicious in front of animal protectors, others don't agree with such a concept at all, you forcibly mention it is simply looking for, and the birth of the Taoist sect is the same as the monk, you must abide by the rules and precepts.
"In short, the poor Dao just can't understand the idea of entering the world. A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe next to him sighed and said, "Entering the World Dao Gate is a small way. ”
"What is the difference between the avenues and the roads that lead to the sky? Xuan Li said.
"Actually, Poor Dao still thinks that this kind of understanding of the Tao is better to let the Taoist friends who came out of the world talk about it, otherwise if it goes wrong, it will be a joke to those monks. The old Taoist priest looked at the monks gathered next to him.
The vast majority of these monks are absent-minded, not what people's attitudes are, it is purely that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, although there are many things to figure out between the two, but the Buddha is the Buddha, the Tao is the Tao, even from the hairstyle point of view are essentially different.
At this time, Xuan Li also noticed that there was an acquaintance in this group of monks who was not too familiar, hesitated for a moment, and also went to say hello.
"Zen Master Kongmi.."
"Oh, it's a fellow Taoist. Zen Master Kongjian looked at Xuan Li calmly and smiled lightly.
Facing this empty Zen master with a flat smile on his face, Xuanli felt a little strange in his heart, obviously he had only exchanged each other on the Buddhist temple last time, and he met with a smile on his face today.
"I didn't expect you to come to listen to the scriptures in person this time, I thought you would be more troublesome..."Xuan Li made no secret of his surprise, he just said last time that he would not take care of this kind of troublesome things in the world, and even the power of the temple can be shaken off the shopkeeper, this is no longer the level of disliking trouble...
"How can the Tao of Guanzhan Cloud Daoist be regarded as a troublesome thing in the world, which can just make up for the regret that the poor monk failed to discuss Zen with Yunguan Master last time. Zen Master Kumi folded his hands and looked calm.
The monk next to him also greeted him, after all, Xuanli is nominally the local Taoist leader, and this little face still has to be given.
"The poor monk is a precept from Wanhua Temple. "One precept and ten bows.
"Master Yijie, I heard that your master is in retreat and practicing meditation, so it's a pity that I didn't come. Xuan Li said with a look of pity.
Yijie nodded on his face, and it was a pity to secretly say in his heart, it was because he knew that this time it was a young man who came to talk about the Tao, so he didn't bother to come, so it was better to meditate in the temple.
In this regard, Yijie can only sigh that the talents of the Daomen are withering, and he actually let the little Taoist priest who has entered the Daomen to take on this important task.
Running a Taoist temple for many years, he has seen a lot of battles, and his life is full of people, and what people have not seen is naturally able to see what Yijie is thinking, and he knows that he is questioning Li Yun's age to finish the annual Taoist ceremony in which both local Buddhism and Taoism participate.
"Master of the First Ring, in the eyes of the poor Dao, you are a person, and you can't judge a person's Taoism and Zen theory by age, as well as entering the world. Xuan Li smiled.
"The metaphysical view is reasonable. Yijie didn't refute it, but he still recognized his own set of statements in his heart, young people, whether in terms of energy or knowledge reserves, are inferior to the immortals and elders.
Yijie thinks that it is better to let Xuanli himself go on it, although he is a Taoist who has entered the world, but he is a famous college student...
The people in the Daomen next to them didn't speak, except for Qingyue, most of them agreed with Yijie's idea, but they didn't say it because of the face of Xuanli, just silently eating melons and playing soy sauce.
At this time, the Zen master Kumi next to him stood up and said calmly.
"Whether it's good, it's bad, it's shallow, or profound, it's only after listening to it that you know, and you can draw conclusions in advance, which is itself a vain and a reality, and the Lord of the Metaphysical Perspective is not wrong, age is not the key to determining the Tao and the depth of the Dharma, the key is whether you understand this principle, right and wrong, or you have to see with your eyes, and listen with your ears. ”
Xuanli thinks that the character of the Zen master Kongjian who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside is also a little cute...
