Chapter 39: Idle Talk
The meal was a little embarrassing, Qin Siyue didn't talk much, but her best friend couldn't help but inquire about Su Wen's identity from the side, as well as his relationship with Qin Siyue. Qin Siyue, who was www.biquge.info angry with the pen "Fun", gritted her teeth and wanted to strangle her.
Su Wen is like an ordinary person, he eats when he should eat, and he doesn't care. also knew that the woman's name was Cheng Xiaoling, who was Qin Siyue's best friend.
"You talk, I'll leave beforehand." After eating, Cheng Xiaoling said goodbye with a very good look.
Qin Siyue wanted to follow, but was pressed back by Cheng Xiaoling, and showed a teasing smile and blinked.
Cheng Xiaoling left, both of them were a little silent, and the atmosphere was even more awkward. The two didn't know each other well, they had only met a few times, and they didn't say a few words. It's just that Su Wen's identity shouldn't have been at this point, so Qin Siyue became curious.
In the end, Su Wen spoke first: "Curious about me, a monk wearing this costume, drinking wine and eating meat here?" ”
Qin Siyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Su Wen's words, the silent atmosphere just now was a little depressing, she wanted to open her mouth but didn't know how to say it, after all, the two were not familiar with each other. And the first time we met was at the police station, Su Wen was a prisoner, she was a policeman, and the first impression she had was a "magic stick".
After that, he was picked up to choose someone, but Su asked no one to choose, which made people think that he was a very thoughtful person.
After that, it was the time of Shizi, she didn't know the specific situation, but she heard a few words from other people's mouths. At the same time, Captain Xiao also had a lot of respect for him, which made her a little curious. After all, people have a heart to explore the unknown, and sometimes they can come into contact with some strange unsolved cases in the police station.
Su Wen didn't wait for the other party to answer and then asked, "Who said that monks can't eat meat?" ”
Qin Siyue was stunned when she heard this: Isn't it common sense that monks can't eat meat?
Listening to Su Wen continued: "Monks are not allowed to eat meat, this is actually bluffing. ”
Hearing this, Qin Siyue was even more surprised, and didn't understand why she said this.
"Primitive Buddhism actually ate meat, and the earliest Han Buddhism also allowed meat to be eaten. It's just that Emperor Xiao Liang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Yan believed in Buddhism, and when he saw that there was a precept in the scriptures that he should not kill, he thought, 'Just kill and kill, it will definitely not be completely controlled, and it is still necessary to grasp it fundamentally.' Learn and use it, and you are not allowed to eat meat at all! You can't eat meat, so what's the use of seeing you kill?' As soon as you decide, act immediately. Urgent message: The subjects advocated vegetarianism, and monks were not allowed to eat meat. This was the rule that Han Buddhism was not allowed to eat meat. At the end of the day, it's a decision made with a slap in the head. Su asked to explain, and Qin Siyue, who listened, was stunned. Can a monk eat meat? How did vegetarianism come about?
Su Wen drank a bottle of beer and talked a lot. "So how many people did Xiao Yan hurt by patting his head. Let's just talk about martial arts, if you don't eat meat, how can you keep up with nutrition? How to grow strength? Moreover, I am a greedy man. ”
"Poof" Qin Siyue was amused by Su Wen's words. "In that case, you're still sneaking around like this?"
Su Wen sighed: "People are terrible, I'm not afraid, but there are so many people in the temple, I must pay attention to some influence." If it is known that there is a wine and meat host on the mountain, it is inevitable that there will be a bad opinion. After all, the customs that have been inherited for thousands of years have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to break, how can it be so easy? ”
"It is said that the family breaks off seven emotions and six desires, and there is no desire and no desire, but it is not at all to see you like this." Qin Siyue pursed her lips and smiled, looking at the restaurant owner not far away in a daze.
Su Wen said disdainfully: "Break seven emotions and six desires, no desires and no desires, then you are not even a human being." What kind of Buddha do you practice, what kind of monk do you be? ”
If Qin Siyue could still accept what she said just now, now this sentence made her impression of Buddhism in her heart completely collapse.
"Break off seven emotions and six desires, have no desires and no desires, and put your relatives and the world where they are? Is it true that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and there is still a pure heart and few desires? That's not Buddhahood, that's stone. How can a person have no desires at all? In fact, those people who practice Buddhism are the greatest desire. Becoming a Buddha is the greatest pursuit. It's just that for the sake of this big goal, I give up small desires. ”
Su Wen regained the feeling of drinking and bragging with people before, and regardless of whether what he said was right or not, he simply said what he had learned about Buddhism these days. "In fact, if you practice Buddhism, as long as you find that bit of truth in your own nature and understand your true nature, you will naturally become a Buddha. The so-called Buddha is me, and I am the Buddha. All the precepts, on the one hand, are to teach people to be good, and on the other hand, to facilitate practice. Nowadays, people think that cultivating Buddha is what it should be, and it is completely putting the cart before the horse. If you can understand your nature, what can you do if you drink wine and eat meat? ”
For example, Dao Ji, that is, Ji Gong, is fond of wine and meat, loves to fight unevenly, and his Dharma cultivation is not bad at all, and he is respected as the living Buddha of the world. Those who have broken off the seven emotions and six desires, how many sentient beings have become Taoists? ”
"Then you often say that you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, bad people do bad things, and if you don't do it, you will become a Buddha, and this Buddha is too easy." Qin Siyue has always been puzzled by these words, in her opinion, if she makes a mistake, she must be punished.
"Two different things. This sentence and what you mean are two different things. ”
Seeing that Qin Siyue didn't understand, Su Wen continued to explain: "The 'butcher's knife' here refers to malice, evil words, evil deeds, and all delusions, delusions, confusion, reversal, separation, and attachment.
There is also an arhat, which contains the meaning of killing a thief, killing a thief is not really killing a thief, killing a thief means killing a thief who has exhausted his troubles. The meaning of this phrase is to let go of delusions, separation, attachment, and to be a Buddha. It's not what you call a butcher's knife. It was only later that it was used to persuade people to stop doing evil and turn over a new leaf. ”
Qin Siyue was stunned. Only then did I discover that the things that people in the world understand are often completely different from the original meaning, including abstaining from meat and butcher knives. I didn't think about this before, but everyone said it was like this, and they thought it should be like this.
After these topics were finished, the two fell silent again, and no one could find a topic for a while. After all, monks and ordinary people are like two worlds.
"I'm going back to the team in the afternoon, so I'll go first." Qin Siyue took the initiative to leave.
Su Wen looked at Qin Siyue's distant back, feeling the sun shining on his body, a little comfortable. I started to walk around the city slowly, and I didn't have any purpose, just a casual walk around. After all, I have been in this world for so long, and in addition to being on the mountain, I occasionally go down the mountain to do errands. I haven't really visited much.
Walking through the streets and alleys, he was a little drunk on the wine, and Su Wen was happy and smiling.
On the side of an alley, I saw two small dogs, a slightly larger yellow earth dog, sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. A pair of forelimbs apart, buttocks sitting on the ground, hind legs also parted forward, like a human, sitting and holding a slightly smaller black earth dog. The little black dog sat there with his back against the yellow dog. The two dogs just changed in the alley and watched the pedestrians coming and going.
Su Wen looked at the two dogs for fun, squatting there and teasing the two puppies.
The two dogs were also obedient, meekly letting Su Wen pet them on the top of their heads, with their ears behind their heads.
"If you like it, you can take it back and raise it. These two stray dogs have been here for some time. If there is no one to raise it, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive the winter. An old lady next to her couldn't help but speak when she saw Su Wen teasing the puppy.
Su Wen turned his head to look over, and there was an old lady with a hunched back, dressed in simple clothes, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, and carrying Buddhist beads on her wrist.
Then he opened his mouth to say hello: "Do you believe in Buddhism?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, how do you know?" ”
Su Wen pointed to the Buddhist bead bracelet in her hand and smiled. "It's good to believe in Buddhism, and if you believe in Buddha, you will have sustenance in your heart."
The old lady laughed too. "Not many young people believe in this now. It is also a good thing to seek peace of mind. ”
Su Wen turned his head to look at the two puppies and smiled gently, "If you are willing, follow me." I can't get hungry for you. ”
He is fond of all kinds of furry creatures. Besides, it's not bad to bring it back to accompany Deyan and Depp, and you can also take care of the temple. As for the monks who don't usually keep pets, he doesn't care.
The two puppies are very spiritual, perhaps because Su Wen has a calm and peaceful temperament, which makes them feel kindness. When Su Wen got up, he wagged his tail and followed.
