Chapter 250: Choice
For the next two days, the monks of the monastery do their own things during the day and practice meditation at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and Su Wen are nested in the room outside of everyone's meditation time, sorting out the content of "Wuxiang Precepts" and "Baizhang Qing Rules".
Because Zen Buddhism emphasizes "seeing nature to become a Buddha", the practice is very different from other sects, and the current Buddhist rules and precepts are not suitable for Zen Buddhism. What Su Wen has compiled is the "Wuxiang Precepts" and "Baizhang Qing Rules" that Zen Buddhism has been practicing in the previous life, and these two combinations are much more suitable than the current Qing rules and precepts.
However, this also raises the problem that all kinds of disciplines have to study the precepts at the same time, which makes the status of the Vinaya somewhat transcendent. Although it is not well-known in the outside world, it actually has a great influence within Buddhism. However, the "non-phase precepts" and "hundred zhang clear rules" implemented by Zen Buddhism itself excluded the Vinaya sect and was almost unaffected by the Vinaya, and it was bound to be strongly opposed by the Vinaya.
Unlike other sects, Vinaya majors in precepts and is entirely based on Vinaya, so no one is allowed to challenge the precepts.
And all Su Wen has to do is to pull out the reverse scales of the Vinaya Sect.
The Vinaya's reaction is not clear, but it has actually been completely verified in another world.
However, Zen Buddhism's "non-phase precepts" and "hundred zhang clear rules" are completely in line with the practice of Zen Buddhism, and it is imperative to practice these two qualities. No matter what the Vinaya reaction is, there will be no retreat in this kind of matter related to the path of cultivation.
……
These days, Lingshan Temple in Chuzhou always feels a little weird, as if a storm is coming, and the dark tide is surging under the calm water.
Not only the monks in the temple, but even the pilgrims who often come to the temple sensed that something was wrong. Although the monks in the temple look the same as usual, it always makes people feel that they are thinking about something, and the abbot of Lin San Temple has not seen him for some days.
In a monk's room, more than a dozen monks gathered to discuss in a whisper.
"It's difficult, have you really decided?"
The subject of the questioning was an ordinary-looking young monk, but he had a special affinity that made the place where he was always the center of the crowd from childhood to adulthood. The crowd looked to him for his first place, not only because of that affinity, but also because of his vision, determination, and other aspects that had proven his ability in a long time of living together.
"I've decided, I'm going to the Pure Heart Temple. Xiang Nan said with a serious face, sweeping his gaze from a person's face.
"You all saw that master that day, and his demeanor and bearing were heartbreaking. More importantly, he opened my eyes to a different world. I'm sure you've all paid attention to the situation in the Pure Heart Temple recently, so I don't need to say more. Most importantly, I feel like I can get closer to my goals there. ”
After listening to the difficult words, everyone was silent.
After that day, why didn't everyone know the information of the Pure Heart Temple?
The area of the temple is vast, it is said that there are five floors under construction now, and only one floor is not less than Lingshan Temple, not to mention the addition of five floors, it is still under construction, and after it is built, its area is second to none in the country. Moreover, there are not many monks in the temple, only about 20 people in total, but there are many monks. The water and land dojo held some time ago showed the strength of the Pure Heart Temple.
The seven altars are all held by the monks in the temple. How incredible is it that a monastery with more than 20 people should have more than seven Dharma masters? There is one Dharma teacher for every three or four people, and I am afraid that there are still masters. Like the abbot of the Pure Heart Temple that day, everyone didn't even think about that means, and it also made everyone see a completely different world.
There are more than 60 people in Lin Shan Temple, and only one or two can really reach the cultivation of the master, like the abbot is called the master, but the monks in the temple know that the abbot is still some distance away from the master. From here, you can see the power of the Pure Heart Temple.
In addition, the Pure Heart Temple is also very famous in the martial arts world, and although the monks do not take it seriously, there are still some young people who yearn for it. It is said that the monks of the Pure Heart Temple all practice martial arts, which makes some people's hearts moved.
"But they are said to be Zen, a school that disappeared more than a thousand years ago. One of them voiced his fears, and the worries of the people. A genre that has disappeared for more than a thousand years is probably outdated and incompatible with today's society. Not to mention that the content of their practice is completely different from what they have learned, and I am afraid that there are not many previous classics to refer to in terms of practice.
They can step into the path of cultivation in this life, and there are also various opportunities, so they should be cautious when choosing the monastery to settle in. If there is any omission, I am afraid that the path of cultivation will be delayed. After decades of hard work, in the end, I neither tasted the prosperity of the world, nor did I achieve results, and the impact was too great.
Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, but the consequences of choosing the wrong place and method of cultivation are much more serious than the first two.
"There are more than seven mages in just over twenty people, and there are still masters, so I don't think there is any need to worry about the cultivation method, and it is faster than the current method. Even if there are no classics from the predecessors to assist in cultivation, it is enough to have the guidance of many mages in the temple. It's better than what we have here. "It's hard to say what you think, there are more than 60 people in Lingshan Temple, and there are only one or two mages, and it's hard for ordinary disciples to find opportunities to ask for advice. At the Pure Heart Temple, although I don't know what kind of rules there are, I think the chances of coming here are much greater.
Hearing this sentence, everyone nodded. It gave a lot of confidence to the crowd at this point.
It was also Su Wen's demeanor and means of the day, which made everyone heartbroken and envious. It was a scene that I would never have seen in my lifetime in this Lingshan Temple.
"I also went, but the behavior of the abbot and the deacon in the temple that day made me look down on them a little. Although the abbot has a hand in money, my generation entered the temple to practice just to cultivate a fruit, and what use is that money for us? When people go to a high place, there is a place where it is convenient for them to practice, and it is naturally better than here. I have been here for seven years, and even if I stay any longer, I am afraid that I will be able to quit my master at most in my life, and I am not reconciled. Another said.
Initiation requires giving up a lot of things, money, beauty, all sorts of things. Endure the unbearable hardships of ordinary people, but in the end only get a void, how many people can be willing? I couldn't see the sky outside before, I always felt that it was like this, the world was so big. But now they clearly saw the corner outside, a scene they couldn't imagine, and their hearts began to become restless.
"I'll go too, that day I was heartbroken by Master Suwen's words and deeds, and wanted to follow him, but I still had some other concerns. Now that I've figured it out, it's better to give it a go. Another monk said.
"In that case, then I'll go too. Although you can't practice anywhere, if you have someone to guide you, you can avoid many detours. ”
"I'll Go"
"I'll ......"
Everyone in the room said a word, and finally all decided to leave.
This result was not unexpected, and it was exactly what he expected.
With so many people going together, you can also be your own help when you go to the Pure Heart Temple. His goal is to cultivate, but until he reaches a certain level of cultivation, he cannot avoid interference from the outside world. And having everyone go together and hug each other can save a lot of trouble.
A day later, the abbot was worried about the affairs of the temple when there was a knock on the door.
When the door opened, a dozen or twenty people stood at the door of the room, and in the middle of the front was the leader of the next generation of monks that he had quite a fancy for: Xiang Nan.
"What are you going to do?" asked the Idiot in a deep voice.
"Master Quitting, we want to leave this temple. He spoke in the midst of the crowd, his voice calm, but unquestionable.
Hearing this, he was stunned, he knew that the atmosphere in the temple was not right recently, but he didn't expect such a situation to occur. Eyes swept over the faces of the many monks outside the door, and some couldn't help but bow their heads, but none of them retreated.
"Why?" said Ring's voice trembled slightly.
"I think you should understand the abstinence master. The world out there is big, but there is so little we can see. Moreover, in Lin San Temple, it is also difficult to achieve results in cultivation. I've had this plan before, but this time it made me up. Xiang said word by word, but the content of the words made the precept speechless.
"Get out of the way. A loud shout rang out behind everyone.
"Xiangquan, what do you want to do?" Xiangnan turned his head to look at the thick-eyed monk behind everyone, and his tone was calm.
"You traitors, especially you, if it weren't for you, how could so many people want to leave?" Xiang Quan glared angrily and roared at everyone, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiang Nan, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people in the middle, no one would have doubted that he would knock Xiang Nan to the ground now.
"You're wrong, Xiangquan. Cultivation is a matter of life and death, and it is the greatest thing, and it is necessary to eliminate all other interferences and choose the most suitable path. And we just made our choice. It was difficult to separate everyone, and he walked towards Xiangquan step by step and said. (To be continued.) )
