Xuankong said: "Zhikong, do you know why Patriarch Bodhidharma crossed the Yellow River east and passed on the art of Shaolin Temple?" Lou Kong said: "Master, the disciple is dull, and please ask the master to ignite." ”

Xuankong said with a smile: "When Emperor Ashoka converted to my Buddha, Buddhism could dominate Tianzhu." And then there is the possibility of broadening the people of other countries. However, a thousand years have passed, and there has been no great progress in this kind of indoctrination. My Buddhism spread eastward as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has long been under the Confucianism and Taoism. It wasn't until the Buddha bone relics were welcomed to the temple that the emperor began to attach importance to Buddhism. But it is still under Confucianism.

Hundreds of years ago, Patriarch Bodhidharma began to travel east and founded the Shaolin Temple. Hundreds of years later, Shaolin Temple has become the ancestral court of Buddhist martial arts. But the authentic Buddhism is still in my Asoka Temple. In order to better protect the relics of the Buddha, the Bodhidharma Patriarch traveled west to my Asoka Temple to preach.

I, the monks of Asoka Temple, who learn martial arts, will surely be able to learn the martial arts on the "Dharma Sutra" as a lifelong glory. However, for hundreds of years, few have won this honor. Do you know why?"

Zhikong Dao: "The Dharma Sutra, the disciple has already heard it when he was in the red dust. The disciple thought that even if the Bodhidharma Patriarch was a generation of martial arts masters, he was also a generation of Buddhist masters. Buddhist scholars, spiritual foundations. Martial arts scholars, there is spirit to have force, the essence of the collection of martial arts is called martial arts, the essence of martial arts is the master of the world. ”

Xuankong said: "Then tell me, Buddhism and martial arts, who is the root?"

Zhikong Dao: "Buddhism martial arts, of course, is based on Buddhism. If there is no Buddhism in your heart, no matter how high your martial arts are, you are just a competitive martial artist. If it is a folk martial arts, it is a natural martial arts, flying eagles and beasts, and those who get the essence of their sports are masters of martial arts. Becoming one, dividing and having a way, is a martial arts master. ”

Xuankong said: "That's right. Before Buddhism entered Middle-earth, Middle-earth already had advanced martial arts. Before Bodhidharma crossed to the east, there were also Buddhist martial arts in the East. The reason why Patriarch Bodhidharma became a patriarch is that he accepted the culture of Middle-earth, integrated it into Buddhism, and then developed martial arts. With an open attitude, let Buddhism martial arts continue to develop. Later generations of Buddhist warriors, although it is difficult to compete with the Bodhidharma Patriarch, but they are also famous. If there are occasional wonderful people, it will only make Buddhist martial arts more progressive. In essence, it is still based on Buddhism and purifying sentient beings with martial arts. ”

Zhikong said: "The disciple is stupid, I implore the master to pass on this way to me." Xuankong smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." While learning Buddhism, while learning martial arts. With that, he handed the Dharma Sutra to the Supreme Space.

Zhikong was originally also a martial arts master, and although hundreds of years have passed since the Bodhidharma Patriarch's subtle words, he can still understand his true meaning. Reading the "Bodhidharma Sutra" is equivalent to getting the personal transmission of the Bodhidharma patriarch, and the martial arts are naturally a thousand miles a day.

After studying for half a year, Zhikong's martial arts have improved a lot, but there is no progress. On this day, Xuankong summoned to the void again to speak.

Xuankong said: "Zhikong, you have been coming to Asoka Temple for a year. Tell me about how you've changed this year. ”

Zhikong clasped his hands together, thought about it, and then said slowly: "The disciple thinks that his martial arts are less murderous, but there are more compassion of Buddhism. ”

Xuankong said: "That's right! ”

Zhikong said: "The disciple is panicked. If it is with such martial arts, how can you subdue demons and eliminate demons?"

Xuankong said: "If you meet a person who is not a demon or a monster, what should you do?"

Zhikong said: "If you use jiu-jitsu, you will be merciful." Xuankong said: "Mm-hmm." What should you do if you have to get rid of the demons?" Zhikong said: "If he doesn't go to hell, I will go to hell." If I go to hell, I will continue to destroy demons in hell!"

Xuankong smiled: "This is a self-proclaimed Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth. It's just that do you know why the King of Jizo became a Buddha?" said to the Void Truth: "The King of Jizo made a grand wish to purify and swore that "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha!" The disciple is empty, and there is neither the great compassion of the Bodhisattva nor the supreme perfection and virtue of the Buddha. Some are just the hard-hearted hearts of the Buddhas!"

Xuankong said: "What an iron-hearted person! What a ferryman! Lou Kong, this is the original self, and the Dharma just allows you to find your original self." ”

Zhikong said: "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

Xuankong said: "If you think that your martial arts have been completed, then go to your senior brother Zhide." He has something to say to you. ”

Zhikong clasped his hands together and bowed to Xuankong. Then he turned around and walked out, going straight to the abbot's room of Zhide. When Xuankong saw it, he secretly said in his heart: "This son has a very high understanding, far above the good and the nothing." My virtuous nephew, the vision of seeing people is indeed the ability of the grandmaster. ”

In the abbot's room, Zhide heard the outside Zhikong asking to see the abbot's brother. Zhide said: "Senior brother, since you are here, why do you shout outside, it is because you want me to come to greet me." Zhikong said: "Senior brother, you're polite." The abbot's room is not the same as other places, but it is the center of the head of the Ashoka Temple. Although I am your junior brother, I am not a close monk of my senior brother, and I must not come in without permission. ”

Zhide smiled: "Senior brother, this can also be divided into inside and outside. Tell me why?"

Zhikong said: "There are 100 people in the family, and there is one person in charge." That's why I didn't dare to trespass. ”

Zhide said: "Senior brother, please come in." Zhikong said: "Thank you, senior brother." With that, I walked in step by step.

Zhide saw it really in the room, and Zhikong's few steps had already shown his extremely advanced martial arts cultivation. I secretly said in my heart: My uncle Xuankong has a way, in just one year, he has already made the martial arts attainments of the Supreme Sky to such a realm.

Zhide said: "Senior brother." How far do you think your martial arts have reached?"

Zhikong said: "Senior brother, if you learn martial arts for another hundred years, it will not be as good as Patriarch Bodhidharma." It's just that when the junior brother faces the strong, he still has the heart to fight, and he has the foundation to fight. I dare not say that the world is invincible, but no one dares to bully. ”

Zhide said: "How does your martial arts compare with Zhang Zhijiang?"

Zhikong said without hesitation: "If you talk about deep internal strength and old tricks, I will never be as good as him." But when it comes to the ability of muscles and bones, he is rich in the spring and autumn, but he is never as good as me. ”？

Zhide said: "If it is the four saints of Kunlun?" Zhikong said: "The four of them join forces, I still have a battle capital, but I will definitely not give them a chance to fight four." ”

Zhide Dao: "What do you want?" Zhikong Dao: "I want to challenge the sky, one of the four saints of heaven!"

Zhide said: "Why?"

Zhikong said: "Baiyun Mountain Villa and the Heavenly Interception Sect have openly colluded. In this way, I got the "Dharma Wanzang Canon", and I have no chance of winning Zhang Zhijiang's martial arts. But you can attack to gain the first chance for the future war between good and evil!"
