Chapter 164: Lectures

In the morning, the mist wrapped around the Baiyun Mountainside dissipated, the sunlight shone directly on the surface of the pool, and the dew in the lotus leaves reflected a little light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Butterflies and bees fluttered along the lotus pond with the fragrance of flowers, and Forrest Gump and Abu looked at the butterflies flying in the air, full of curiosity. Dozens of birds landed above the main hall, chirping non-stop, waking up Naga, who was sleeping in the main hall, and swam down from the beam with a snake letter.

Hundreds of pilgrims, some sitting cross-legged on the futon, some simply sitting on the ground, looking at Su Wen on the stage.

Su Wen said in a clear voice: "I still talk about the Diamond Sutra today, which is one of the fundamental sutras of my sect. ”

Someone immediately asked, "Isn't it the Buddha Saying the Amitabha Sutra, the Sutra of Amitayus, the Sutra of Amitayus, or the Sutra of Lotus Sutra that are the root sutras?"

The most influential sect in this world is the Pure Land sect, followed by the Tiantai sect and the tantric sect. Among them, the Pure Land Sect and the Tiantai Sect influenced each other and merged with each other, forming a situation of "teaching in Tiantai and returning to the Pure Land". The Tiantai sect has produced many masters of the Pure Land sect, and the monks of the Tiantai sect have also aimed at the Pure Land in the past. The two sides are in harmony with each other, and there is no obstacle to harmony, and the Buddhism in this world is headed by these two sects, and ordinary people have heard a lot.

Su Wen thought about it, the name of Zen Buddhism in Jingxin Temple will be typed sooner or later, and as the audio and video of his lectures spread, it will be known sooner or later, so it is better to say it directly.

"The original is the same, but the Tao is not the same. Like a vegetative tree, the rhizomes come out of the same place, but each branch has its own branches. The Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra, the Sutra of Amitayus, and the Sutra of Amitayus are the three sutras of the Pure Land sect, and the Lotus Sutra is the original sutra of the Tiantai sect. The former is a convenient door for sentient beings to enter the Tao and be reborn in the Pure Land, while the latter is a one-minded three-minded and harmonious three-truth. Both of these sects are advanced and profound methods, and one can enter the Tao. ”

After a pause, Su Wen said: "This temple majors in Zen Buddhism, and the law of this sect refers to the human heart, regardless of practice, that is, the heart is the Buddha." ”

"What kind of sect is Zen Buddhism? Buddhism has been inherited for thousands of years, but it's not just a person who jumps out and can claim to be the master of the sect, you say that you are a Zen sect, and there have been high monks in the past dynasties?" the man immediately stood up and said, aggressive.

Su Wen's face remained unchanged and said: "There are no high-ranking monks who have heard of the world. His eyes glanced at the man's forehead, gray with a hint of redness, thin and virtuous.

"I know the Pure Land, Tiantai, Huayan, the Three Treatises, the Dharma, the Precepts, and the Tantra. I've never heard of any Zen Buddhism, so it's not a cult, right? No wonder an abbot in his twenties is going to give a lecture on the scriptures, and he has only been practicing for a few years at this age?

When he shouted, many people around him were in an uproar, and a few even stood up. Even those who had listened to Su Wen's lectures were suspicious, although they knew that the teachings of the Pure Heart Temple were somewhat different from other places, but they were also Buddhist scriptures, and they didn't think much about it. When someone said this, even they were inevitably a little confused.

Seeing the commotion below, Su Wen was not in a hurry or angry, and said leisurely:

"It's not real, it's not fake. The Diamond Sutra is translated by Master Kumarosh, and if you listen to me, you will know whether it is true or false. ”

"You're in your twenties, a hairy kid who hasn't figured it out yet, what can you say?"

"There is no order to learn, it has nothing to do with age, whether it is true or false, you will know it when you hear it. ”

Su Wen said this, thanks to the great reputation of Jingxin Temple in the East China Sea in the past few months, many people sat down.

The man saw that everyone was sitting down, and he snorted coldly and followed back to the same place, waiting to attack again. I don't believe that you can be so proficient in Buddhism as a person in your early twenties, as long as there is a little flaw, I will make you disgraced, and if you have no face to open up, you must expose you as a false abbot.

But he didn't expect Su Wen to give him a chance at all.

This is the first official appearance of the Zen lineage, and how can it not be dedicated. What's more, there are people waiting to catch their mistakes now, and I don't know how many will be in the future.

"The content of the Diamond Sutra is very simple, it is a question and answer between Shakyamuni and Subodhi. But it contains the fundamental wisdom of Buddhism, which is to be free from all appearances, to have a mind that is free from all appearances, to have no place to dwell, to attain emptiness with the wisdom of Prajna, to break away from all appearances, and to attain the state of realizing the emptiness of the reality of all dharmas without attachment to any one thing.' ’”

The person below pouted after hearing this, as long as anyone who knows something about the Buddhist scriptures knows, still use you for it?

"That's what I smelled. For a while, the Buddha was defending the country. Gishu to the Garden of Solitude. with the great bhikshu congregation. 1,250 people. Then the world. When eating. Dressed and bowled. Settle in the city and beg for food. in its city. The second begging has begged. Return to the Locality. Meals. Collect the mantle. Wash your feet already. Sit on a seat. ”

As soon as the people below heard Su Wen's speech, they immediately became energetic and prepared to find out what Su Wen was wrong about. Unexpectedly, Su Wen did not interpret at all, but recited directly.

"Long old man Su Bodhi. In the masses. i.e. from the seat. Favoring the right shoulder. Hit the ground on your right knee. Gassho respectfully. And the white Buddha said. I hope that there is a world honor. ……”

"What do you mean? I didn't come to listen to him chanting, I was robbed of the scriptures just now, and I was timid?" The man sneered when he thought of this, and he didn't believe that your lecture today was to recite the scriptures, and if that was the case, this lecture would be a big joke.

Soon, he couldn't think about it anymore.

It's just a trance, the surrounding scenery suddenly changes, and I am in a void, and the surroundings are bright. Su Wen's chanting sound fell from the sky, solemn and grand, although he was reading the original text, but the meaning of every word was clearly imprinted to the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, the surroundings have changed greatly, and they should be frightened, but their spirits have gradually relaxed, and as the golden lotus falls in the sky, his heart is gradually filled with peace and joy, as if he has heard the avenue.

All of them were introduced into their minds by Su Wen, and their moods were different.

At this time, He Baichuan only felt that the heavy locks that had been wrapped around his body in the past had been untied, and all the calculations, gains and losses of the past had been forgotten with the scriptures, and the whole person felt relaxed and free.

He Xiaorou had already experienced such a teaching, letting go of her whole body and mind, and fully comprehending the Dharma that Su Wen conveyed to her heart.

Han Yiming only felt that everything in the past was empty, and everything he experienced was no longer important at this time. I was even a little grateful to the door for removing myself, otherwise how could I hear such a Buddhist mystery.

Every time a golden lotus falls, it is a word that enters the brain. The so-called mouth can lotus flower, probably like this.

If an outsider comes, Su Wen will sit peacefully on the platform in the temple at this time, with his eyes closed and his face calm, reciting scriptures in the air. There were more than 600 people sitting below, men, women, old and young, all closing their eyes and smiling.

The fish in the lotus pond all gathered in one place, tapping on the surface of the water, as if they were also listening to the scriptures.

The birds on the main hall stopped calling, and a black-eyed snake that was almost three meters long had already swam to the eaves, its body was tense, and it could have a full meal in the next second, but it suddenly stopped moving, swam down the pillar of the main hall again, until it reached the podium, and wrapped it around Su Wen's waist and legs.

Forrest Gump and Abu also bore through the crowd and finally came to the podium and lay down.

After a long time, when Su Wen's mouth stopped, it took a few more minutes for someone to come to his senses, and his eyes looked at Su Wen with all eagerness.

Soon most people came to their senses, some fast and some slow.

Su Wen knew that those who woke up last were the people with the deepest blessings, the highest understanding, and the thickest roots.

The person who woke up in the end was unexpectedly neither Dao Yan nor Qian Tong with Su Hui, but Han Yiming was still behind the two.

Seeing that everyone woke up, Su Wen remained calm and said, "To practice the Dharma, we must start from knowing our own nature, at all times, in every thought, we must make our hearts clean, practice by ourselves, understand our own Dharma body, recognize the Buddha in our hearts, transcend ourselves, and consciously keep the precepts, so that this trip is worth coming to listen to the Dharma." ”

The people's minds were clear, no one spoke, and the field was extremely quiet. After hearing Su Wen's words, they all bowed forward, although it was not a five-body bow, but it was also a sign of respect.

"Besides, those who wear hair and horns have the heart of Buddha, not to mention those who you have a relationship with. ”

As soon as he said this, Forrest Gump and Abu raised their heads and shouted twice, and Naga also spat out snake letters. Only then did everyone realize that they didn't know when two dogs were lying under the podium, and a big snake was coiled around Su Wen's body.

"Don't be dissatisfied, all sentient beings can seek the Tao. Su Wen chuckled and said, "Not yet?"

As if he understood his words, Naga swam down from him with a snake letter.

Many lay people and pilgrims in the field stared at the Naga as they swam all the way to the main hall, and some of them could see it along the pillar and straight up the beam, and they all felt that it was really miraculous.

If there were people who might have doubted this before, I don't know what the means were, but after Su Wen's lecture, no one dared to doubt it.

Even those who have always spoken out against each other are pale and respectful.

Although Su Wen's sermon does not have a word of paraphrasing, everyone has already understood it. This kind of preaching is simply unheard of and unseen.

In my heart, I almost regarded Su Wen as a true Buddha.

Su Wen finally said: "There is another poem for you, if anyone has any understanding, they can come to me." ”

"The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror.

Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. ”
