Chapter 261: The Three Refuges of the Phaseless Phase
(This chapter is a bit boring,.)
Early the next morning, after the morning class, Su Wen stood up from the ground, took a few steps forward, and then turned to look at the people in the temple.
"Fa Xiang Dade, Dao Yan, Dao Qin, Zhishen, Huaisu, Tan Zong, Hui Ling, Senior Brother please. Su Wen nodded to a few people, and several of them stepped forward to stand on either side of him.
It was notified yesterday, and there are a few things to do today, one is to collect the reincarnation of the predecessors brought back by Daoyan last time down the mountain and enter the temple with Ma Tian and Lingshan Temple, and the other is to re-pass the Wuxiang precepts, and finally to set up the "Zen Gate Qing Rules", everything in the temple will be done according to the rules in the future, and the Pure Heart Temple will be on the right track since then.
The many pilgrims outside the main hall greeted the white rain and then put their umbrellas aside. Nowadays, a large number of umbrellas are placed at the mountain gate, some are placed there in the temple, and some are left there by lay people and pilgrims, and some people specially clean them after using them every day.
Many lay people and tourists gathered outside the main hall and looked inside to see what was going on. Many people have never seen a formal ceremony, and they are a little curious.
Zhang Mingtang stepped forward. Dao Yan shouted in the direction of the door as a Wiener today.
Immediately, a thin young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years of age was ushered into the middle of the lobby. Because his back was facing the main entrance, no one noticed that his eyes were a little glazed, and the paleness on his face was also a little sickly.
"Are you really willing to enter my Buddhism, and from now on you will devote yourself to cultivation, be brave and diligent, and ignore the world?" asked Hui Xuan on the side. Only then did many lay people know that someone had left home today. And just looking at the side, this person is not very old.
"Buddhism, Buddhism......" Zhang Mingtang read it twice, the trace of sluggishness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he actually had a little brilliance, and he did not speak again but nodded heavily.
Seeing him nodding, Hui Jue didn't say much, picked up the razor in the plate he was holding on the side, and shaved off the short stubble on Zhang Mingtang's head. Although he has only now carried out the ritual of falling hair cultivation, he has already worshiped Fahai as a teacher, which Dao Yan personally requested.
Hui Ling left only a little of the stubble on Zhang Mingtang's head, put the razor on the plate, and then picked it up and said to Zhang Mingtang: "Starting today, you should return to the Buddha again, the past has become a cloud, you should practice hard."
Zhang Mingtang nodded again, opened his mouth, and finally said slowly from his mouth: "Ah, Ami...... Buddha
Fahai shaved off the remaining stubble on the top of his head and said to him, "From now on, your Dharma name is Xingdao. ”
Zhang Mingtang suddenly knelt down and made a five-body bow to the Buddha statue, and when he stood up again, his eyes were a little dull as before.
Su Wen was also a little surprised by his changes. He has long paid attention to this Zhang Mingtang, that is, Xingdao, he is a little dull on weekdays, he doesn't say anything about others, and he doesn't know if he heard it or not. Fortunately, it is not noisy or noisy, and it does not affect others, but I have been a little stunned. I didn't expect that today, when the hair fell, there was a moment of clarity, and the Buddha statue gave a five-body bow.
The monks stepped forward. Dao Yan raised his voice again, and all the monks of Xingzi and Lingshan Temple stepped forward to stand with Xingdao and formed four rows.
"Martin, you are also in the ranks. Su Wen said to the door again.
"Yes, master. Ma Tian, dressed in a trumpet monk's robe and with short hair, hurriedly ran a few steps from the door to the end of the front row and stood up.
"You and all of us have taken three refuges, but today it is a little different. I will give you the Wuxiang precept, and you will listen well. ”
"Let you wait to see the three-body Buddha of self-nature, take refuge in the pure Dharma body Buddha in the self-color body, take refuge in the self-color body and take refuge in the hundreds of billions of incarnation Buddhas, and take refuge in the self-color body when the body is fully reincarnated. ”
When the people of Lingshan Temple heard the first sentence, they felt that something was wrong, you must know that all sects are taking refuge in the Buddha, but the meaning of these three sentences is a little different, and it is clearly taking refuge in itself.
"Return to the pure Dharma body Buddha in the self-color body, return to the hundreds of billions of incarnations in the self-color body, and return to the Buddha in the self-color body to complete the Buddha's life. Everyone in the Xingzi generation recited with Su Wen, but the people of Lingshan Temple hesitated in their hearts before they spoke. After all, Zen Buddhism is different from other sects, and this is something that has been known for a long time. Although it felt a little wrong, it was only different from the teaching I had been taught, but it did not make everyone resist.
After singing three times, Su Wen said to everyone: "The nature of the world is pure from its own nature, and all laws are in its own nature. To contemplate all evil deeds is to do evil deeds, and to meditate on all good deeds is to cultivate good deeds. Knowing that all the Dharma is in one's own nature. …… All dharmas are in their own nature, and they are called pure dharmakayas. ”
"What is the name of hundreds of billions of incarnated Buddhas? Without thinking about nature is emptiness, and thinking is self-transformation. Contemplating the evil dharma turns into hell, contemplating the good dharma into heaven, poisoning into animals, compassion into bodhisattvas, wisdom into the upper realm, and foolishness into the lower realm. There are many changes in nature, and it is fascinating to see it. ”
"Mo Si forward, always think backward. After always thinking about goodness, it is called retribution. One thought of evil will repay a thousand years of good and perish, and one thought of good will repay a thousand years of evil destruction. After impermanence has come, it is called retribution......; Thinking of goodness is retribution. ”
Su Wen explained to everyone in front, and after listening to the people of Lingshan Temple, they suddenly remembered what Su Wen had said to everyone about the purpose of Zen Buddhism: "Seeing nature with a clear heart, seeing nature and becoming a Buddha." And isn't that the refuge in the three-body Buddha of self-nature?
Su Wen explained in the hall, and many lay people gathered at the door of the main hall also took out their mobile phones to record. Most of the people had already heard that Master Zhishen had returned to the temple yesterday, and they thought that they would announce to everyone today that Zhishen had won the championship of the National Fighting Competition, after all, it was a great honor.
There were even a few reporters who mixed in with the crowd, ready to take some photos and go back to make news, but they didn't expect to mention it at all, but to talk about other things. However, they didn't quite understand what Su Wen was talking about, so they just used their cameras and voice recorders to record the incident and go back to see if there was anything valuable.
After seeing the three-body Buddha of self-nature, Su asked and said: "You have entered my Zen Buddhism, you should follow me to make four vows."
"There is no boundless vow to be born, there is no boundless vow to break troubles, there is no boundless vow to learn the Dharma, and there is no vow to come true to the supreme Buddha. ”
After everyone made the vows of Sihong, Su Wen paused, let everyone think about what the other party said, and then said: "Next, I will pass you on to wait for Wuxiang to repent." ”
"Thinking before and then thinking about the present, thinking about not being tainted by foolishness, if the evil deeds of the past, if the self-nature is removed for a while, it is repentance. After thinking about the past and thinking about the present, the thought is not contaminated by ignorance, except for the past pretensions, the distraction is forever broken, and it is called self-nature confession. The thought of the past and the thought of the present thought, the thought of not being infected by the plague, the removal of the former jealousy, if the self-nature is removed, it is confession. …… The Buddhas said before that it was useless, and I will never do it in this method, which is called repentance. ”
After Su Wen finished passing on the confession of Wuxiang, he said: "Today I have passed on your confession of Wuxiang, and then I will pass on the 'Three Refuge Precepts of Wuxiang'. ”
"Return to Jue, two-legged respect, return to righteousness, leave desire, return to purity, respect among all. From today on, he will be called a teacher, and he will not return to the evil spirits. With the "Three Jewels of Self-Nature", it is often self-proven.
The Buddha is enlightened, the Dharma is upright, and the monk is pure. The heart is self-conscious, the evil is not born, the desire is content, the wealth is separated, and the name is two-legged. The heart is right, and there is no evil reason for the thought, that is, there is no love, and there is no love, and the name is separated from the desire. The heart is pure, although all the dusty delusions are in the self-nature, the self-nature is not stained, and the name is respected. ”
If you practice this trip, you are self-returning.
Ordinary people will not, from day to night, receive the three ordinations. If you return to the Buddha, where is the Buddha? If you don't see the Buddha, how can you return? Words become delusional.
You wait for each to observe, don't be wrong. The scriptures clearly say "return to the Buddha", not "take refuge in other Buddhas". "Self-Buddha" does not return, and there is nowhere to rely on.
Now that we are self-realized, we must return to the "Three Jewels of Our Heart", adjust our minds internally, and respect others externally, which is also "self-refuge". ”
Su Wen's voice was not loud, but this "Three Refuge Precepts of Phaselessness" was like a bronze bell deafening to everyone's ears, even many lay people outside the main hall heard it in their ears, thinking about it in their hearts.
Although Su Wen's "self-refuge" has made many people feel something, it is also Su Wen has always been quite WeChat, and many lay people have also seen Su Wen's miraculousness, although what he said is very different from other refuge in the Buddha's method, but no one has anything to argue, just quietly listen to Su Wen's words.
There are also people who have a hunch in their hearts, Su Wen's remarks are too different from the current Buddhism's refuge in other Buddhas, and they become Buddhas by their own nature and take refuge in their own three natures. (To be continued.) )
