Chapter 271: Dialectics (I)

It didn't take long for Fa Xiang and Hongyuan to walk in, their eyes swept lightly in the room, they folded their hands and bowed to everyone, and they didn't speak, but found a corner to sit down. During the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, there was no eye contact with Su Wen, and when I saw the second prince and princess, I didn't show any different colors, as if I was completely here to observe.

When the second prince saw that everyone had arrived, he smiled and took the lead in speaking: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Wang should first state that I am deeply interested in the teachings of Buddhism, so I am here to observe the ceremony, but I don't want to affect your great virtues to discuss business, so please feel free to accept me as if I am not there." Without your permission, Xiao Wang will never speak a word. ”

Li Jiaxi's eyes wandered, swept around the faces of everyone in the room, and pursed his lips without saying a word. As a royal princess, Li Jiaxi has always been low-key, and when she appears in the outside world, she strictly abides by her identity and rarely speaks, so her reputation among the people has always been excellent.

Not to mention the reputation of the people, just looking at her sitting on the seat at this time, she didn't say a word, her demeanor was dignified, quiet and virtuous, which greatly increased the goodwill of everyone in the audience.

Jing Zhen and the others hurriedly said: "Amitabha, the second prince is polite." ”

After the politeness, Jing Zhen immediately said, "Why don't you ask Master Su to speak first?"

Su Wen nodded and replied: "The poor monk is respectful, it is better to obey his fate." I am waiting to come here, one is to pay homage to the pure land virtue, learn the special experience of the thousand-year-old temple, yesterday has been thanks to the abbot Jingzhen's hospitality, introduction, we are full of hospitality, benefited a lot. The second is to explain the root cause of Zen Buddhism and eliminate some unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

As soon as he said this, the sex lawyer suddenly interjected: "Wait, forgive the poor monk for being abrupt, there are a few questions I want to ask the abbot." ”

Jing Zhen started the round: "Senior brother of sex, why don't you wait for Su to ask the abbot first?"

Su Wen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, please talk to the sex lawyer." ”

Seeing the sexuality, he said: "I heard that your temple gave your disciples the three refugee vows of Wuxiang, and also set up their own rules, I don't know if this is true?"

"Yes, it does. Su Wen nodded in agreement.

Seeing the nature of the said: "The three refuge vows have been set since ancient times, follow the teachings of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha and take refuge in the Three Jewels of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, you are unauthorized to change the three refugee vows, can there be a basis?"

"Lawyer, what do you mean by Buddhism, Dharma and Sangha?" asked Su Wen rhetorically.

Seeing the sexuality, he showed a sarcastic look: "The Buddha is the master Shakyamuni, the Dharma is the twelve parts of the Three Tibets, and the monk is the disciple of the monk." This question is strange, but all the disciples who take refuge know that you don't know why the abbot of a monastery doesn't know. ”

Su asked, "It's not that I don't know, it's the lawyer you don't know." The Buddha responded to the world with compassion and willingness, just to help sentient beings to transcend the troubles of life and death, to see the reality of the Dharma, and to attain eternal purity. Therefore, the three refugee vows are passed down to show the difference between the Buddha's disciples and others, and also to teach the Buddha's disciples the path to liberation. If someone is really able to take the three refuge vows for the full length of his life, he will become a Buddha.

Can a lawyer know that there are 84,000 methods that do not take three refuge vows? Refuge is a refuge and a reliance, may I ask a lawyer, how many of those who have taken three refuges for thousands of years, who have turned back to rely on Shakyamuni, the 12 parts of the Three Tibets, and the disciples of the Buddha who have been monks, have been liberated from their troubles and have attained the Buddha's knowledge?

Seeing that he couldn't answer after thinking for a while, he had to say: "One word from the scriptures, that is, the same demon." Is there a scriptural basis for you to grant the three refugee vows?"

Su Q&A asked, "Of course." Zen Buddhism is a Mahayana religion, and the unphased vows granted are the Mahayana bodhisattva vows. The doctrine of self-nature pervades all the sutras, taking the Sanskrit Sutra as an example, which records that Shakyamuni is a little happy for all people, all sentient beings have Buddha nature, all consciousness and color hearts are in the Buddha nature vows, and all sentient beings take the vows of pure nature.

It is said in the "Yingluo Sutra" that all bodhisattvas take holy vows with all their hearts. It is the heart that the precepts are exhausted, the heart is endless, and the precepts are endless.

In the Mahaprajna Sutra, it is said that the Bodhisattva Mahasattva knows that all the Dharma has no appearance, and can have sufficient and unphased corpse Raparami, and has sufficient precepts that are not lacking, broken, mixed, or attached. When the Bodhisattva Mahasattva is doing Prajnaparamita, he can attain the bodhisattva position with sufficient unphased corpses. The corpse is the meaning of the precepts, and the name of my Zen Buddhism is from this sutra.

In the "Sutra of Victory", the one who takes refuge in the first righteousness is the one who takes refuge in the Buddha. The first meaning of the Dharma and Sangha refuge is to take refuge in the truth.

The first national teacher of the Huayan Sect also said in the "Huayan Sutra Questions and Answers" that if you can worship your own Buddha, you will not worship anything. In the sixth ritual cloud in the "Seven Kinds of Rituals" of the Earth Treatise Sect, it is clear that the Buddha is observing oneself, not the Buddha and his body, not the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, so as to see one's own Dharma nature. Knowing the mind is the only way to know the pure nature of the heart. The seventh ritual cloud, the Three Jewels of Clarity and Reality, are equal to others. Reality is non-appearance, and the Three Jewels of Reality are self-consciousness and purity.

There is no basis for the above brief examples, I wonder if the lawyer has any objections?"

Su Wen's words made everyone in the audience look different, and they all turned their eyes on Su Wen. Both the law and the grand wish were smiling and nodding slightly. The two of them came over this time to help boxing, and secondly, to see the dialectics between Su Wen and others. Judging from the Q&A, the two don't have to worry.

Seeing that the sex lawyer listened to the heavier his heart became, he didn't expect that Su Wen was so young, but he was so familiar with the scriptures, and what he said was justified, which made it difficult for him to answer for a while.

Seeing that the senior brother was a little confused, he hurriedly asked: "But you have made a clear rule without authorization, taking farming as a practice, cutting and cultivating, which not only harms the lives of sentient beings, but also has the suspicion of accumulating funds. No matter how far-fetched you are, you can't explain the matter of self-reliance!"

Su Wen said calmly: "The lawyer is slow to make up his mind. May I ask the lawyer, the Buddha system eats once a day, sleeps under the tree, eats and begs, and stays under the same tree for two nights.

What Su Wen said is a well-known thing, where are the current Buddhist disciples still practicing like this, regardless of the climatic conditions or social conditions.

Seeing that he was speechless for a while, Su Wen continued: "There is no definite law in Buddhism, so I should say it at the right time." The Pure Heart Temple established the Zen Garden and the rules, and it is not out of this righteousness. Book 22 of the Five Divisions of the Law clearly states that Shakyamuni Buddha told the bhikshus that even if I made it, I did not think it was pure in the rest of the world, and that those who did not make it in the rest of the country should be done. It can be seen that the precepts change from time to time and from place to place, and the World-Honored One has long expected and granted them. ”

Su Wen talked eloquently, swaying freely, he stood up, walked to the middle of the field and continued: "China is not a Buddhist country, monks have no preferential treatment, it is difficult to go out without money, unlike Ceylon and other Buddhist countries, monks have free clothing, food, housing and transportation, so they can hold the precept of not catching money, and it is difficult for us to popularize it."

China does not practice the dervishes system, and monks are not allowed to farm, so they have to rely on the charity of believers, and the disadvantages are so great that it can be referred to the four major difficulties in history.

First, the ashram with strong incense accumulates too much wealth, and the monks are too comfortable, not only can they not practice diligently, but they retreat from karma, and the dojos with a bleak Dharma relationship often do not have enough to eat, and the monks are forced to return to the laity;

Second, if there is a national political turmoil and Buddhism suffers, because the temple economy is completely unable to be autonomous, it will be a disaster immediately when it encounters change.

For these reasons, the poor monks insisted that the monastic rule that they should not do agricultural work must be changed.

My Buddhism has been in decline for a long time, and although the Dharma difficulties have a profound impact, it is also an important reason why the teachings cannot be studied and applied, and the precepts cannot change from time to time and place. The Dharma should not be rigid, the Huayan Sutra says that there are four unhindered Dharma realms, and the poor monks believe that the Dharma should also be unhindered, unhindered, unhindered, and unhindered, and should not be confined to the pile of old papers that the monks study. ”

Zhijue and Zhiwei also felt very insightful after listening to Su Wen's words, but they were invited by Xuan Che to deal with Su Wen, seeing that Su Wen controlled the scene, and they couldn't answer each other when they saw sex and emptiness, so they had to be opened by Zhijue and said: "Su Wen Abbot Gao Zhi." But I don't know what is the basis for the theory that your temple is one and three bodies and self-nature Buddha?" )
