Chapter 222, Zen Master Kongmi

The old monk's beard is gray, giving people a very kind feeling, and his temperament is like a clear spring.

"Amitabha. The old monk saluted Li Yun.

Li Yun also replied with a salute.

"Master Abbot. Wise lowered his head, the person in front of him was the abbot, that is, the boss of the temple in all senses, and he, the second one, still had to bow his head in the face of the boss.

It's just that Wise doesn't understand why he was reprimanded by the abbot?

"Wise, you're not convinced?" The abbot looked wise, his face was old, and the clarity in his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"I... There is no dissatisfaction. Wise lowered his head, but added, "But... I'm not wrong, there is indeed a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that there is no woman in the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, obviously you said it when you talked about Zen before..."

To put it bluntly, wisdom is not convinced, obviously you said it yourself, why should I be wrong?

"There are no women in the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, there is indeed a sentence that is true, but this woman does not refer to a woman, but refers to the Buddha nature, the so-called woman, that is, the five natures of the Buddha, whether it is a bhikshu or a bhikshuni, the status is exactly the same, and there is no so-called rule that women are not allowed to enter, and the so-called rule that beautiful women are not allowed to enter, you added it yourself..."The abbot said calmly:" Obey the precepts of Buddhism, what is required is the disciples of this temple, if you see a beautiful woman and can't walk, this can only blame them for not refining the Dharma, let them chant and chant the Buddha, why blame the reason on this female crown?"

After finishing speaking, the abbot apologized to Hanxiang in full view of everyone.

"It's the poor monk's disciple who is rude, it's okay for you to go in and meditate, as long as you want, the poor monk is very welcome. ”

Then the abbot followed wisely and said: "Apologize, what you just said is really too rude, when Lord Yunguan pointed out your mistake, you didn't even listen, it is really a violation of the precepts, and after the play is over, you also go to chant the Buddha, copy the Buddhist scriptures and think about it." ”

Wise is not convinced!

The first seat of Dalin Temple, why should he apologize to this young Taoist?

Even if it is the viewer, it is also the viewer of the small Taoist temple!

However, in the face of the eyes of the people around him, as well as the calm gaze of the old abbot, in the end, Zhizhi lowered his head and said to Li Yun: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't study the Buddhist scriptures thoroughly..."

Faced with Mingming's apology, which didn't seem too sincere, Li Yun said with a relaxed face.

"It doesn't matter, it's just some minor mistakes, Poor Dao just happened to study these Buddhist scriptures, it's nothing, it's nothing. ”

"The Lord of the Cloud View is a great talent. The abbot bowed slightly.

This wise man can't pull his face, he is a monk, and he was reprimanded by a Taoist priest in front of everyone, and he can't put this face anywhere, and finally he can only sulk and leave in disgrace.

"Come in and sit, there is coarse tea and snacks, but the temple of the poor monk is small, please don't be surprised. The abbot smiled slightly, folded his hands, and entered the main hall.

After seeing the abbot come out, the surrounding melon-eating crowd also forgot about Li Yun's incident just now, and stepped forward to salute him, this is a rare master, and everyone is very enthusiastic.

"I didn't expect that Lord Yunguan also studied Zen theory, and he was really well-read. Xuanli sighed with emotion, he only thought that Li Yun Taoist was proficient in law before, but he didn't expect that this Buddhist scripture was also studied.

"I understand a little. Li Yun smiled and said with some curiosity: "Is that the abbot of this Dalin Temple just now?"

Xuan Li waved the dust and nodded.

"Yes, the host of this generation of Dalin Temple, Master Kongjian, behaves as if it looks, his face is indifferent, no joy and no sorrow, no desire and no desire, he has abided by the precepts since he was a child, eats and recites the Buddha, and from time to time he also opens a porridge fasting at the foot of the mountain to help the poor, and the incense money obtained from the altar is used to maintain the operation of the temple, and he is the oldest ascetic monk of this generation, don't look at the appearance of only sixty years old, in fact, he is almost eighty years old. ”

The person in front of him is an old-timer of Buddhism, since he is an old-timer, he has to give a certain amount of respect, especially an old Zen master who is proficient in Buddhism.

Li Yun also nodded, this Kongjian Zen master really feels like he has no desires, no joy and no sorrow, although he feels a little old-fashioned, but he seems to be a cold-faced and hot-hearted character, using the money he gets from opening the altar to help others, and he deserves to be a high-ranking monk and Zen master.

However, then Li Yun said again.

However, Poor Dao felt that this empty Zen master was a little too undemanding, and he felt that many things were not like him to manage. ”

Xuan Li also understood the situation of this temple, and nodded with a smile.

"That's of course, almost all of the rights of the Kongjian Zen master have been delegated to the first management, just now that person is wise, is one of the first, so there are good and bad ways to manage the temple, the good thing is that the abbot is worry-free, and he can spend more time studying Zen theory, what about the bad... It is easy to confuse management and breed selfish desires. ”

While the two were talking, many people had already entered the temple, intending to listen to the Zen masters discerning the Zen principles and opening the altar to give lectures, especially looking forward to the Buddhist teachings of the Zen master Kongjian, the theoretical top administrator of this temple, the most proficient in Zen principles.

"Where is your location... Yes, there it is. A small novice came to assign a place, pointing to Xuanli and the others to the corner.

This time, some teenagers with a temper Xuanshan were not convinced and said.

"Why do we have to sit here, those dignitaries can sit in front and listen to the scriptures, are we inferior to them?"

Some pot-bellied businessmen were placed in the front row, and they didn't even look like they were there to listen to the scriptures, but they took pictures with their cameras and sent them to their friends to show off.

There are a lot of such people, why can they sit in the front row?

"I don't know, anyway, I only know that you offended Uncle Shi... Of course, even if you don't offend Uncle Shi, you won't be able to sit in the front row, so be it. The little novice looked impatient, looked like he liked to sit and sit and not sit and roll, and began to arrange other people's seats.

"Look, that's the downside. Xuan Li shook his head helplessly, but he still didn't make any trouble, just pulled Xuanshan and sat down.

Other people's territory, people are in charge, there is nothing wrong..

"It's so stingy..."Hanxiang muttered, but it didn't matter on her face, anyway, it was good to accompany her brother, and the monk chanted the scriptures that I didn't listen to.

Li Yun just smiled and sat down as well.

Quietly listened to this empty view of the Zen master and began to preach.
