Chapter 273: Dialectics (II)
Su asked: "The Venerable Master asked a very clever question, the Dharma of Zen Buddhism has indeed been passed down from generation to generation, but the Buddha nature is inherent in everyone, and the Buddha Buddha can become a Buddha in a place where he cannot learn, and everyone can do the same." The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info poor monks naturally do not dare to compare themselves with Shakya, but after all, there are still patriarchal teachings left in this temple, and the poor monks devote themselves to research, and make unremitting efforts, so there is a foolishness.
But after the poor monks, Zen Buddhism will flourish in the world, in order to prevent the abuse of saints, this sect should set an iron law, without the confirmation of the patriarch, Zen disciples shall not claim to be enlightened, without the permission of the patriarch, shall not open the mountain without authorization, so as not to mislead people. ”
Zhijue nodded in approval and stopped talking.
Zhiwei said: "The poor monk still has a question. ”
Su Wen raised his hand to signal him, but said it was okay. "The method of Zen Buddhism's clear mind and insight has not been seen in any scriptures, although your sect claims not to set up words, do not teach outside the teaching, and say that the first ancestor is the Venerable Kasya, but after all, there is no clear evidence, how can we know that the law of Zen Buddhism is also passed on?"
Su Wen replied calmly: "One upward, a thousand saints are not transmitted, because the first truth is wrong, the thought is obedient, the words are broken, and the heart and deeds are destroyed, and the law of Zen Buddhism is to go straight to the first meaning, so it cannot be recorded in any language." However, the poor monk knew that there was a sutra that did not record the method of seeing nature, but it recorded the experience of the World-Honored One passing on this method to the Venerable Kasya, which can be used as a proof of the roots of Zen Buddhism.
This sutra is the "Great Brahma King Asks the Buddha to Resolve Doubts", the scripture records that the Buddha at the Lingshan meeting, the golden brahmana flower in his hand did not say a word, all the disciples did not understand its meaning, but the Venerable Ka Ye smiled. The Buddha immediately said, I have the Dharma Eye, Nirvana, the Reality without Appearance, the subtle Dharma, the non-text, the teachings are not preached, the ordinary man becomes a Buddha, the first truth, and I will pay the Mahakala Leaf today. This is where Zen Buddhism comes in. ”
Zhijue and Jing Zhen and the others were puzzled, and Zhijue said, "Why have we never heard of this?"
At this time, Li Zongping suddenly interjected: "Ladies and gentlemen, can Xiao Wang say a word?"
Jing Zhen hurriedly said: "Second prince, please speak." ”
Li Zongping said: "I know this scripture, and there is it in the royal collection. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed surprise on their faces, thinking to themselves if Su Qian didn't have anything to do with these two princes?
He glanced at Su Wen and continued: "I am interested in Buddhism because I asked the Zen master, and I mostly look for Buddhist books from the royal collection to read in my free time, so I have seen this sutra, but this sutra is mostly related to the emperor's question to the Buddha, so it has been hidden in the royal family for generations, and it is forbidden for private circulation, but I don't know how Su Wen Zen Master knows?"
Su Wen smiled slightly, and said to Li Zongping: "All the ten thousand laws do not come from nature, although the poor monk has shallow wisdom and meager Dao power, but he can also know a thing or two about the things related to this sect. ”
This was said so profoundly that Li Zongping didn't understand it very well, and he didn't answer, but he couldn't help but be in awe of Su Wen in his heart.
Others also thought to themselves, isn't this really enlightened?
Su Wen saw that everyone was speechless, and was about to lead the words to the matter of harmony and unity of Buddhism, but at this time, a young monk came from behind the hall, and Jingzhen asked, "Katsuji, what is the matter with you?"
The monk saluted and replied, "Master Xuanche instructed that it is time to eat fast, and not to neglect the distinguished guests." ”
Jing Zhen hurriedly got up and said, "Alas, if it weren't for Uncle Shi's reminder, the poor monk would really be sluggish, patronizing and talking, and forgetting to eat." Let's go to the dining hall first. Hey, Katsuji, do you have anything else?" Jing Zhen couldn't help but wonder when she saw Katsumi standing still.
"Uncle Shi also said that Buddhism is the method of cultivation, and it is useless to just talk about it, so I took the liberty of inviting Su Wen to learn the kung fu of meditation, I don't know if it is convenient for Zen master?"
Su Wen was also surprised when he heard it, and he didn't think that there was a person who was calmer than the Zen master, presumably he was bullying me young, thinking that I was uncertain, but I couldn't blame me for bullying the weak, and immediately responded: "The poor monk has no objection, and he will come after fasting." ”
So they went to the hall.
As soon as the onlookers saw that the main owner had dispersed, they naturally dispersed in twos and threes, and there was a lot of discussion everywhere. Today's scene is unheard of for them, and the monks are arguing on the spot that they have not been present for a long time, and they are very excited to see it both fresh and exciting, and some of the people who have taken the video can't wait to post it on the Internet.
"I don't understand it at all, but I have a sense of déjà vu of the tongue and the crowd. ”
"It's a tongue battle group monk, right? Although I don't understand, I still think it's so handsome. ”
"This abbot is young, and he doesn't look much older than us, but looking at the aura of others, it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. ”
"Although a monk specializes in the study of scriptures, it is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to do what he does. Not to mention anything else, those monks are said to be all mages and lawyers, and several people together can't say that he is the only one. ”
"Indeed, Niu B, it would be nice if I had such a day, of course, the premise is not in the monk's temple. ”
Many netizens were not very interested in Buddhism, but Suwen itself has a certain reputation on the Internet, so many people clicked on it and talked about it.
And more people see the comments first and then watch the video, many girls don't care whether what Su Wen said is reasonable or not, but they are just fascinated by Su Wen's rhetoric and demeanor, and there is a long row of monkeys in the back.
Everyone didn't mention it in fasting, but Xuan Che's disciple Jing Jue went to Xuan Che's room and said worriedly: "Master, why did you decide to compare zazen with Na Su Wen, in case there is a good ......?"
It is important to know that sitting meditation should not be forced, if you are forced to sit for a long time, it will be unfavorable to your body, and secondly, it is easy for the evil fire to rise, causing internal and external demons.
Xuan Che said with relief: "It's okay, isn't his sixty years of spiritual cultivation as a teacher still comparable to him as a hairy boy?"
Jingjue is still not at ease: "But after all, you are old, and the disciple is afraid that your body will not be able to stand it." ”
"Don't worry too much, as soon as I enter the fixed state, I can at least two days and two nights, and he can't stay up for a long time. ”
After eating, Jing Zhen led everyone to the Xuanche Customs.
At the door, Su Wen instructed everyone in Jingxin Temple to wait outside with peace of mind, telling everyone to obey the arrangement of Daoyan and to live in harmony with their fellow Taoists in Wuzhen Temple.
The rest of the people also retreated, but none of them left the temple, and Zhijue and Fa Xianghong also wanted to know the results of the competition.
Then Su Wen entered the customs room and greeted Xuan Che, and the two looked at each other without saying much. One person and one futon, sitting opposite each other, with their legs on their knees, their hands knotted with a large samadhi seal, and the curtain is downward. After a while, they all entered a fixed state, and their breath was long and subtle, as if there was nothing.
In a blink of an eye, at noon the next day, everyone walked softly outside the closed room after eating to listen to the movement, but there was still no response.
At noon on the third day, there was still no movement in the closed room. Jingjue is in a hurry, it's been two whole days, can the master hold on, don't just pass away!
If you look at it when you enter the door, you will find that Su Wen is still calm, but Xuan Che is already trembling, and beads of sweat are hanging all over his cheeks, obviously to the limit. At four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Xuan Che's voice finally came from the room: "Is Jingjue there?"
Jingjue was waiting outside the door, and when he heard Master's voice weak, he hurriedly pushed the door in, and said, "Master, how are you?" Xuan Che said, "Help me up." Jingjue carefully helped Xuan Che to sit down, and helped him massage the blood, and only after a busy time did he help Xuan Che get up.
Xuan Che saw that Su Wen was still unmoving, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The future life is terrifying! Let's go out, don't disturb Su Wen's Zen master." ”
The news that Xuan Che took the lead in making a decision soon spread throughout the temple, which means that Wuzhen Temple has completely fallen behind, and now wait for Su Wen to make a decision.
However, he said that Su Wen was in a good state at this time, and he was busy with temple affairs in the Pure Heart Temple, so it was rare to have such an opportunity to concentrate on practicing zazen. Now is the right time to take the opportunity to cultivate.
Some time ago, in order to cope with the trip to Wuzhen Temple, I made a lot of hard work, studied the scriptures and teachings, pondered the righteousness, and I also had a lot of wisdom. Sinking into the silence until the third day, suddenly the light appeared, the eyes did not open and could see the six roads, the ears did not hear but could smell the eight directions, the heart did not want to perceive what everyone thought, all the people and things in the temple are into the heart mirror, the door wall can not be blocked.
One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, and many people began to become anxious, even some of the younger disciples in the Pure Heart Temple. That Xuan Che Elder had already come out of the room, but Su Wen still didn't move a little inside.
Many laymen also talked about it, you must know that Xuan Che is already an elder of Wuzhen Temple, and he has to come out after only two days and two nights in it. But this Su Wen has been in it for five days and five nights, and he has no intention of coming out. Can his body really withstand it? A man can last a few more days without eating, but he can only live three days without drinking water.
Some people who are dark in their hearts are thinking that it would be fun if Su Wen sat in it.
However, although there is some anxiety on the faces of everyone in the temple, there is no other different color, presumably there is still no big problem with Su Wen inside, but it depends on how long it will take for him to come out.
In any case, staying in it for more than five days and five nights without eating or drinking is too powerful, and you should be able to apply for a world record, right?
There are really many people who check the world record for not eating or drinking on the Internet, but what people didn't expect is that the longest time without eating or drinking was ten days, of course, that person has basically collapsed later. However, the number of ten days is still unexpected by many people.
Nowadays, many people come to Wuzhen Temple every day just to see when Suwen comes out of it. (To be continued.) )
