Chapter 547: Seizure (2-in-1)
April 28 is an ordinary day for Xinghua, but it is an important day for the Big Buddha Temple - the neon Sumeru Temple made a special trip to the Big Buddha Temple to seek Zen teachings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For ordinary believers, this is something that makes them feel honored, even if they don't know about the situation at Sumeru. But this is the recognition of foreign Buddhism with the Big Buddha Temple, and the believers of the Big Buddha Temple will naturally have a subtle feeling that they are also recognized.
Early in the morning, many believers come to the Big Buddha Temple, and in addition to offering incense, they also take a look at what the neon monks look like.
Now that the Internet is so developed, ordinary people are also very aware of foreign affairs. Neon monks are just like going to work, and they are still a very respectable profession. In normal times, you can also marry a wife and have children, drink wine and eat meat.
Neon Buddhism comes from Han Buddhism, and their breaking of vows began with the Danjia system implemented by the Neon government in order to weaken the particularity of Buddhism and improve the status of Shinto. Over the past two hundred years, this special custom of familial temple family and hereditary abbot system has been formed.
Therefore, many lay people and pilgrims also wanted to see if the monks who were able to drink wine, eat meat, marry wives and have children were degenerate, or whether they were the same as the monks in China.
At eight o'clock in the morning, a bus stopped at the gate of the Big Buddha Temple, and seven or eight people came down from above, four of whom were dressed as monks, all dressed as black monks, wearing in their pockets, and holding a Zen staff in their hands, which is very in line with the image of neon monks in film and television dramas.
There are also a few people who are dressed as ordinary people, wearing suits, looking like translators and the like.
The mountain gate of the Big Buddha Temple was wide open at this time, and the abbot of the Big Buddha Temple stood at the front, behind were seven or eight monks of different ages, and then one or two hundred monks stood there.
Looking at it from a distance, this greeting posture can be regarded as grand.
The two sides took a look at each other, and Jingye invited the neon monk into the temple.
Then he glanced out the door, and when he saw that there was no one else, he walked inside with Suma Temple while talking.
However, as soon as he turned around and went out, he didn't take a few steps when two taxis stopped at the entrance of the Big Buddha Temple, and eight more monks got out of the car.
At the head was a young monk wearing a black robe with bare feet, while behind him there were four others in black robes, and three others just dressed in ordinary monk's robes.
This immediately alarmed the lay pilgrims who were still discussing the monks of Suma Temple.
"These are also neon monks?"
"Probably not, look at this dress, it's the Vinaya, right? I remember that the monks of Vinaya were wearing black robes, but what are they doing here? β
"This, it seems to be from the Northern Pure Heart Temple?" Someone whispered, but he wasn't sure. The reason why he recognized Su Wen was that Su Wen was barefoot, and the Buddha beads hanging on his chest.
There are still relatively few monks dressed in this way.
While they were whispering, Pure Karma also noticed the changes behind him.
Turning to look at Su Wen and his party standing in front of the door, the corner of Jingye's eyes twitched, this is a coincidence.
This is not a coincidence, it is Su Wen that they have already inquired about the arrival time of the neon monk, and waited in the taxi for a while.
Jingye said a few words to the monks of Nasuma Temple, and then strode towards Suwen and the others.
Before the person arrived, Jingye's face was full of smiles: "The abbot of Jingxin Temple and his disciples came to the Big Buddha Temple, which really made the temple flourish. β
"Amitabha, I've seen the abbot of pure karma!" Su asked and saluted, and the others followed suit.
After listening to the words of the two, the people around immediately knew the identity of Su Wen and the others, and doubts also came up, why did the people from the Pure Heart Temple also come.
After the Great Buddha Temple announced that it was a line of Zen Buddhism, many people also checked the news about Zen Buddhism on the Internet, only the Jingxin Temple, which had been relatively popular before, was Zen, and almost nothing else could be found.
Suma Temple came here to seek Zen Buddhism, it should have nothing to do with Pure Heart Temple, right? Are the monks of the Pure Heart Temple here to study Zen together?
"Ladies and gentlemen, please inside." Jokai stretched out his hand to lead the crowd inside, and the people of Suma Temple were waiting there.
The two sides greeted each other and saluted.
Su Wen carefully looked at the people in the Suma Temple, and the leader was a monk about sixty years old, who looked solemn as a Buddha, and looked at Su Wen at this time with a smile on his face. The other three monks, one in his forties and two in his thirties, one of whom bears some resemblance to the person who took the lead.
If you understand the Neon Tan family system, you can immediately think that these two people are probably related by blood, or even father and son.
This Suma Temple is the dojo of the Neon Shingon sect. And Shingon Buddhism is transmitted from Tantra, also known as Eastern Tantra. Although Tantra and Zen Buddhism are divided into two religions, there are also many things to figure out. Therefore, it is not surprising that this Shingon ashram seeks Zen teachings.
Although it is somewhat strange for the other party to come to this big Buddha temple to seek Zen teachings, I think that there are other people who are matchmaking, otherwise the other party will go to the Pure Heart Temple to seek the Dharma.
While he was paying attention to the other party, the other party was also looking at their group.
Jingxin Temple has become famous in China for a year and a half, and it is also somewhat famous in neon.
Especially among Buddhism, the Pure Heart Temple and the rise of Zen Buddhism, anyone who has a little concern will not have heard of the Pure Heart Temple.
Su Wen, Pure Karma, and the oldest monk of Sumeru Temple walked in front, and the others followed behind, looking at each other.
In particular, the people of the Pure Heart Temple paid special attention to the disciples of the Great Buddha Temple.
This big Buddha temple is said to have more than 400 disciples, the last time Zhishou and Xinghui came, they didn't see a few, there were more than a dozen monks in the front yard receiving pilgrims, and only four people were seen in the backyard.
After going back, the two of them also felt strange, where did all the people from this big Buddha temple go?
I finally saw it this time, and it didn't seem that there was much wrong with each one, but some of them looked too capable, and they looked like they were doing kung fu. Most of the monks in the Pure Heart Temple are like this, so everyone doesn't think it's too weird.
But that day, I saw that the two monks with blank eyes and blank expressions were not inside.
The group went to the Buddha in front of the main hall, and then followed the pure karma to a relatively large guest room in the backyard.
The three of them sat at the top, the others sat on either side, one interpreter sat next to the leader of the Suma Temple with a small stool, and another interpreter sat with several other people.
After everyone sat down, it was time for the Pure Karma to open their mouths and welcome the abbots and monks of Suma Temple and Pure Heart Temple to the Great Buddha Temple to study Buddhism and other clichΓ©s.
Later, the monks of Sumeru Temple expressed their gratitude and said that some neon and Xinhua were a strip of water, and neon Buddhism was transmitted from Han Buddhism, so there were more exchanges.
During the period, Su Wen had been closing his eyes since he sat there, and there was no expression on his face during the period, which made the monks of Sumeru Temple guess what Su Wen meant.
At the beginning, most of what the two said was not nutritious, and everyone in the Pure Heart Temple also knew that they were not here to talk about Buddhism this time, but they were similar to Su Wen, with eyes and noses, noses and hearts, and they didn't care about foreign affairs.
After the polite words, the old monk of the Sumeru Temple began to ask some questions about the teachings of Zen Buddhism.
Jingye said: "Senior Brother Su Wen of Pure Heart Temple is here, and the poor monk does not dare to offer ugliness, why don't you ask Senior Brother Su Wen?" β
With his words, everyone else also turned their attention to Su Wen, and everyone in Sumeru Temple was even more expectant, wanting to see what this revival of Zen Buddhism had to say.
Su Wen didn't say a word, and still sat there with his eyes closed. Originally, everyone thought that he was thinking about how to say, but after two minutes, he still did not have any reaction, and just when everyone was confused, they heard a slight snoring between his mouth and nose.
Su Wen actually fell asleep?
At this time, everyone looked at each other, and Na Jingye was also puzzled, not knowing what Su Wen was doing.
Zhishou stepped forward and gently shouted Su Wen twice, Su Wen was a fierce spirit, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he wondered: "What's wrong?" β
Seeing that Su Wen pretended to be stupid, Jingye was a little unsure of Su Wen's thoughts, but he still smiled on his face: "Master Fang Cai Zhenyuan asked how to practice meditation, and the poor monks didn't dare to offer ugliness in front of Senior Brother Su Wen, so they all waited to listen to Su Wen's high opinion." β
"What kind of meditation?" Su asked first, and then asked again without waiting for everyone to answer: "What do you want to repair?" βγ
As the two interpreters whispered, several of the monks of Suma Temple fell into thought.
A monk in his thirties at Suma Temple preemptively said, "I'm waiting for the method of obtaining enlightenment, and I also ask the master to teach me!" β
Both the tone and the attitude are extremely respectful.
Su Wen didn't even think about it: "You have traveled all the way here to seek Zen Dharma, let me ask you, is the Buddha different?" β
"In the third world of the ten directions, there are Buddhas everywhere, such as the sand of the Ganges, which are naturally different." Another Sumeru monk replied.
"What's the difference between you and me?" Su asked again and again.
"You are you, I am me, eighty-four thousand hairs are all different." The monk followed.
The others listened to the questions and answers, and each came up with their own answers.
Su asked, "All beings are the same, so what is the difference between you and me?" β
"The substances that make you and me are all those things, more than 90 elements, what's the difference? You might find out which one is different? β
A lot of people in the audience were a little confused, they really didn't know much about science, but I guess it should be the same.
"All beings are the same, and so are Buddhas and Buddhas."
"You have come to seek the Fa, is the Fa different?"
This time, the old monk thought for a while and suddenly said, "The law is no different. β
Su Wen clapped his hands and said, "Yes, whether you look at it or not, how you look at it, the Fa is there, what's the difference, then what are you asking for?" β
Seeing that except for a few people, even the precepts and laws were thoughtful, Su Wen slapped his hand and stretched out a finger after attracting everyone's attention.
"Do you see the same?"
Everyone nodded.
Su asked, "How can it be?" Someone sees the front, someone sees the side, how can it be the same? β
As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand into a palm in front of him to block his fingers, and said to everyone: "The Fa is here, you can't see it, they can see it." If you go around to the side, you can see it. After all, you are blindfolded by things, and you are asking for the Fa everywhere, but the Fa is there, so what are you asking for? β
After Su Wen finished speaking, several monks in Sumeru Temple stood up and saluted Su Wen respectfully: "Thank you for your advice." β
Jingye watched from the side, and his heart was full of jealousy. I thought my preparation was good, but after listening to Su Wen's words, I felt that I was fortunate that I didn't say it just now, and it was indeed a sacrifice.
After Su Wen finished speaking, he ignored the people in Sumeru Temple, looked at Jingye and said, "The poor monk came here today but he has something to ask. β
Jingye's heart jumped, and he knew that Su Wen might have trouble after he came today, but now he really came, but he didn't expect it to be in front of everyone in Suma Temple.
"I heard that the Big Buddha Temple is my Zen heritage, and the poor monk is very happy in his heart, but I don't know which lineage your temple comes from my Zen sect?" Su Wen said in a deep voice.
If the fangs are exposed as soon as you come in, then the people of Suma Temple may not think much in their hearts, and they will not be able to stand on the side of the Great Buddha Temple, after all, this time I came to visit the Great Buddha Temple.
Now that he has convinced the people of Suma Temple, and then gets things out, then Suma Temple will not easily stand on the side of the Great Buddha Temple. After all, a monk with a profound level of Buddhism usually does not deliberately cause trouble, and he will not lie about it.
If something doesn't work out, it won't be remembered, and rumors will be born outside.
"Since the patriarch monk Chan passed on the Dharma to Daozhen, after the valley temple was broken, several disciples scattered and escaped, and built temples everywhere. One of the disciples, Hongle, founded Xingye Temple in Long An, and later Xingye Temple was ruined, and the monks moved to the Big Buddha Temple, which also brought the method of Zen Buddhism.
The ancestors of the Great Buddha Temple have studied a lot, but the method is incomplete and has not been passed on. Jingye replied word by word.
Listening to Jingye's words, Su Wen nodded. Regardless of whether what the other party said is true or not, at least some of it is true.
Otherwise, they won't say Seng Can, Dao Zhen, and Valley Temple.
Presumably, even if the other party is fake, it is impossible to impersonate without a little preparation.
Su asked again: "I heard that your temple thinks it is a Zen lineage?" β
Jingye immediately replied: "The poor monk has always been happy with the Zen method, although he has not obtained all of it, but he has benefited a lot, and most of his disciples are practicing Zen Buddhism, so he regards himself as a disciple of Zen Buddhism, and only stays to the Pure Heart Temple to seek teaching. Now that Senior Brother Su Wen has come to this temple, it makes the poor monk happy. β
When Jingye said this, his heart was beating wildly, and he was originally quite happy to see the name of Zen Buddhism in Jingxin Temple. After all, if you use the name of another sect, many of your actions are very easy to be detected and criticized.
In the name of Zen Buddhism, everything in the temple does not need to be too taboo. After all, there is only one temple in Zen Buddhism in the East China Sea, and there are only dozens of monks, so God knows when there will be disciples of Zen Buddhism in southern Fujian. Therefore, you don't need to be too constrained to act on your own.
As a result, because of some things, it actually led the Pure Heart Temple to find this place at this time.
Fortunately, when Xing Jing and Xingjing were arrested, he had thought about several plans in advance, and it was best to fool the past today, if not, he couldn't say that he would have to use the last plan, but then the loss would be too great.
Su Wen listened to the admission of the pure industry, straightened his body and asked in a deep voice, "Then where is the pure moon of your temple?" The poor monk had something he wanted to ask. β
This sentence changed from the previous mildness, and the voice was low, which made people feel a little harsh.
Su Wen has been the abbot of the temple for so many days, and there are tens of thousands of believers, so he naturally has a majestic bearing. This deep sound suddenly made everyone's hearts tense.
