In the 127th round, Yongze blood spattered Shimen Camp, and the Buddha with a thousand faces shone brightly

The poem says:

The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror.

Wipe it from time to time so that it does not stain the dust.

Li Yongze with more than 1,000 people and horses, to carve a thousand Buddha statues in Shimenying Village, after preliminary preparations, the people were divided into three waves, the time rested people, day and night, continuous hard work, hundreds of stonemasons in the hands of the hammer, iron drills, one after another, sonorous and powerful, the Ma'anshan shook the ground and shook the mountain, a lively scene, the valley reverberated with the sound of the shovel, spread all over Ma'anshan, shaking everyone's heartstrings, the scene is not spectacular.

Shimen camp is five miles away from the Jietai Temple, ten miles away from the Tan Zhe Temple, it is just the place where the incense ancient road must pass, the guests who usually go on the incense are endless, the Tan Zhe Temple is already the royal temple that has begun to take shape, several presiding officers are appointed by the emperor himself under the holy decree, are the famous Taoist monks in the country, in addition to the huge temple, the temple is surrounded by hundreds of square kilometers of mountains, more than 300 villages nearby, are the temple property of the Tan Zhe Temple, which are the emperors of the past dynasties, in order to support the temple, give him the land of the circle, because the scale of this temple is very large, there are many monks of all levels, there is such a saying, the famous monk of Tan Zhe Temple is 3000, There are countless unknown monks, you can imagine, how big was the temple at that time?

The reason why Tanzhe Temple is in Youzhou City, the grand occasion is unprecedented, and the reason for his growth is mainly because it is the birthplace of the Chinese Yan Sect of Northern Buddhism, and several presiding monks are also the leaders of the Huayan Sect. Tan Zhe Temple was built in the fourth year of Emperor Jin (316 years), and it is the earliest temple built after Buddhism was introduced to the Beijing area. When it was founded, it was small in scale and was called Jiafu Temple. At that time, Buddhism was not yet accepted by the people, so its development was slow. Later, there were two "extermination of Buddha" in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so the Jiafu Temple has not developed since it was built, and then gradually fell into disrepair.

During the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian long live Tongtian (696-697 years), the Buddhist Huayan monk Huayan monk came to Tanzhe Temple to open the mountain and build a temple, holding the "Huayan Sutra" as a pure industry, Tanzhe Temple became the first temple in Youzhou area to determine the sect, and Tanzhe Temple was prosperous.

Tang Wuzong Li Yan believed in Taoism, and at the instigation of the Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen and the powerful minister Li Deyu, Tang Wuzong ordered the destruction of Buddhism throughout the country. Tanzhe Temple was also abandoned because of this.

Five generations after the Tang Dynasty, the famous Zen monk from the real Zen master came to Tan Zhe Temple, eradicate the wasteland, renovate the temple, "the master and his disciples thousands of people preached, Tan Zhe Sect wind vibrating", only to make Tan Zhe Temple out of the shadow of "Wu Zong extinguishing Buddha", prosperous again. At that time, Tanzhe Temple was also changed from Huayan Sect to Zen Buddhism.

During the Liao Dynasty, due to the prosperity of the Vinaya in the Youzhou area, while the development of Zen Buddhism was slow, the incense of Tanzhe Temple declined. Zen master Zhiyuan monk is the most famous Zen master, leading the vast number of monks and laymen, vigorously promoting Zen Buddhism, restoring the former glory of Tanzhe Temple, but also in order to carry forward the cause of Zen Buddhism, it was decided to build this Buddha with a thousand faces. Resist the development of Vinaya in the Youzhou area.

Chinese Zen Buddhism was introduced by the Indian monk Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma lives in Songshan Shaolin, known as the ancestor. Shenguang in front of the Dharma Cave to seek the master of Dafa, broken arms and snow, Dharma passed on the clothing method, named Hui Ke, for the two ancestors of Zen Buddhism. Seng Can, Daoxin is the third ancestor of Zen, the fourth ancestor, the four ancestors of the dojo in Huangmei. The five ancestors of Zen Buddhism live in Huangmei Dongshan, and the congregation gathers, which is known as the "Dongshan Method" in history. Huineng is from Guangdong, and he returned to the south of the secret Hong Ninja Clothes, and is the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, creating the "epiphany" sect style. Since then, Zen Buddhism has flourished all over the country and overseas. We can see from the history of the development of Zen Buddhism that the monk has made great contributions to the inheritance of Zen Buddhism when he was ordered to do so. He also innovated the regulation of Zen Buddhism of "passing on from heart to heart, not writing", and finally became the "Faith Inscription" with his lifelong experience, which laid the theoretical foundation of Chinese Zen Buddhism.

The six generations of Chinese Zen patriarchs passed on the Dharma:

Bodhidharma Patriarch: I was originally here to pass on the Dharma and be infatuated; a flower blooms and five leaves, and the fruit will come naturally.

The second ancestor Hui Ke: Originally, there was a land, because the place planted peanuts, there was no seed, and the flowers were never born.

The Three Patriarchs of the Monk Can: Although the flower seeds are planted from the ground, peanuts are planted from the ground, and if no one plants them, the flowers and fields will be completely lifeless.

The four ancestors of Taoism: flowers have nature, because of the peanut birth;

The Five Ancestors Hongren: Affection comes to the next seed, and the cause and effect are still alive;

The six ancestors Hui Neng: The heart contains all kinds of things, the rain is all sprouting, the epiphany has been loved, and the Bodhi fruit is self-contained.

The founder of Zen Buddhism, the ancestor of Dharma, traveled to the north, saw the holy land of Buddhism in Tanzhe Temple, barren and decadent, especially sent his own children, Zen monks came to Tanzhe Temple from the real Zen master, eradicated the wasteland, renovated the temple, "the master and his disciples thousands of people preached the law, and the wind of Tanzhe Sect was greatly revitalized", so that Tanzhe Temple walked out of the shadow of "Wuzong destroyed the Buddha", and flourished again. At that time, Tanzhe Temple was also changed from Huayan Sect to Zen Buddhism. Only then did this thousand-year-old temple regain its vitality and have been passed down to Master Zhiyuan.

Now Master Zhiyuan, who has spent huge manpower and material resources to build this thousand-faced Buddha, has alarmed the Bodhidharma Patriarch.

Bodhidharma Patriarch from the Western Elysium, drove an auspicious cloud to the sky above Ma'anshan, was shaken by the scene of the battle of a thousand people, he pressed the head of the cloud, under the Bliss Peak, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, walked up the mountain, came to the Shimen camp, found the face of the thousand-faced Buddha, only to see a big stonemason was there, and walked forward.

At this time, the patriarch of Bodhidharma was dressed as an old man in cloth, and the old man circled around the tight boulder that was wrapped in this way, and turned around three times, which attracted Li Yongze's attention, and for the sake of safety, Li Yongze walked to the old man's side.

Li Yongze, "Old man, this is a busy place, the senior brothers are busy working, your old man has turned around here three times, do you have any advice?"

Bodhidharma Patriarch saw that this is an old stonemason with wisdom roots, the light of the Buddha, the Buddha in his heart, it seems that his children can still discern the pearls, and it is really difficult for them to invite such a big stonemason to do this meritorious thing. Bodhidharma Patriarch thought so in his heart, in fact, he also had the meaning of degree, and he had an idea to test him.

The old man in cloth (Bodhidharma Patriarch), "Amitabha, I don't know what the master is doing? ”

Li Yongze saw that the old man's words were mysterious, and said respectfully, "Old man, you don't know, the package here is not ordinary, we are inviting the Buddha in the west." ”

When the old man in cloth (Bodhidharma Patriarch) heard Li Yongze's answer, he felt that this person was very wise, and his answer was so mysterious, it was really not easy to be a real family, so he wanted to try him again, "It is clear that he is carving a Buddha statue on a stone, and he is saying that the West Heaven invites the Buddha, which is really strange." ”

Li Yongze looked at the old man, deliberately teasing himself, but still replied in a soft and slow voice, "There is no Buddha in fashion, there is no carving in the hand, there is a Buddha in the heart, and the west will invite the Buddha." ”

The old man in cloth clothes (Patriarch Bodhidharma) felt that this answer was a person with a Buddha's heart, so he was very happy, "Master, since you say so, look at me, an old man, can I become a Buddha?"

Li Yongze looked the old man in cloth up and down, and felt that this old man was not from China, but must be a monk from Tianzhu Kingdom, who was testing me, so he easily reached, "Here is the Peak of Bliss, there is a Buddha in the west sky, that is, a guest in the sky, and there is a Buddha in my heart, why bother to ask me." ”

The old man in cloth (Bodhidharma Patriarch) heard this answer, his heart was very satisfied, but he still wanted to try him again, with a wave of his big hand, a gust of wind raged, the scaffolding of the Buddha with a thousand faces, trembling, suddenly an iron hammer fell, directly to the top of the head of the old man in cloth (Bodhidharma Patriarch), Li Yongze stood on the opposite side to see clearly, I saw that he did not hesitate, both hands pushed away the old man in cloth (Bodhidharma Patriarch), the hammer struggled on his shoulder, and suddenly blood flowed.

It was at this time that the Buddha with a thousand faces was shrouded in the light of the Buddha, and the Bodhidharma Patriarch drove the clouds to the west, echoing his laughter in the air.

Precisely:

Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform,

There was nothing in the first place, and there was dust everywhere.

All the stonemasons were stunned by this Buddha light, only Li Yongze was facing the air, in the direction of the Dharma Patriarch flying, lying on the ground and kowtowing three times, and then fainted. What happened to Li Yongze's life? Please listen to the next breakdown.
