Chapter 389: Lectures on the Scriptures
The thin eyelids of the emaciated eyes of Zen are thin, and the moment they close their eyes, it is as if a thin layer of skin covers the eyeballs, which is very terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his voice was a little hoarse, and said with a wry smile: "Debate Zen moved the mortal heart in vain, and inadvertently fell into the red dust, Yongjia died, and I also ended up in this field, this is God's punishment for me." Yongjia treats me like a teacher and a friend, but I, but..."
You Ning hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes were a little cold, and she asked slowly: "They said that you killed Princess Yongjia, so, is it really you?" β
"It's not!" Bianchan looked at You Ning angrily, and then said: "Yongjia has already told me to let me fake my death and leave Jiankang." As he spoke, he took out a wax pill from his bosom and continued, "The old woman sent a message for her, saying that I should take this pill at the right time." But why did she die suddenly, I really don't know, why the blue butterfly is by her side. β
You Ning raised her eyebrows, it turned out that in this Zen debate heart, promoting Buddhism has long been less important than Princess Yongjia. Comparing his reactions to the mention of two things, she was convinced of the idea.
She smiled and said, "Tell the truth, we will find out the real murderer for Yongjia, so you still have to keep silent?" β
Bianchan's eyebrows relaxed, he raised his eyes to look at the two, and said with a long sigh: "If the two of you can really find out the real murderer of Yongjia, Bianzen is willing to be a cow and a horse for the two!" β
Quan Chan closed his eyes, and all kinds of things with Yongjia appeared in his mind over the past year. The beauty has passed away, the fragrance of the soul has disappeared, and there is no second princess in the world for this proud and beautiful princess.
"In March last year, I came all the way from a foreign country to spread the Dharma, and I met Yongjia when I arrived in Jiankang City. Because of Yongjia's guidance, I easily came to Yunkai Temple. More than a month later, I had gradually forgotten about Yongjia, but on that day, I saw her again. β
When I got up in the morning, the sky was a little gloomy, and the abbot of the temple said with some concern: "Debate, the sky is not good today, and I am afraid that there will be showers, so how about pushing it back?" β
Quan Chan shook his head and smiled: "Even if there is a person coming, you can't let people run for nothing, it's better to be business as usual." β
The abbot nodded and agreed, and went out to arrange matters.
After a short time, a little monk came to deliver a message, saying that everything was ready for the front. Zen lifted the hem of his blue-gray robe and walked to the dojo with soothing and graceful steps.
Jiankang is rainy, more of a continuous drizzle. The mist and rain set off this flashy and free city more charming, sandalwood rose, and Zen came to the wide dojo as promised, and opened today's morning class.
He was born rich and handsome, and his voice was like a trickle of water, and he talked about the scriptures eloquently, which made people admire from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, a female voice sounded, and I saw that not far away, a woman with a light gauze hat stood up, and the weak and boneless figure was not the woman who played the piano on the hill that day!
The woman smiled and asked: "Buddha beads, Buddha statues, all need to be enlightened by the Taoist monks to have a good effect, so, the little girl is suspicious, in the end, should I believe in the Buddha statue, or the enlightened monk?" β
Bianzen shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "Throughout the ages, temples have been opened, and Buddha statues have been built first. The consecration is carried out on the basis of the enablement ceremony, but the consecration of Buddhism is different from the understanding of the benefactor. The so-called consecration is the Buddha's consecration for the world. When all sentient beings think of Shakya, they will think of kindness, and when they think of Muni, they will think of tranquility. Knowing that you need to be quiet for yourself and be kind to others is what Shakyamuni intended. When people in the world think of the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva, they will remind themselves of filial piety and friendship. He often reminds us to shine our light. Therefore, the so-called enlightenment means that the Buddha opens the light of the world, not the light of the Buddha. The image of the Buddha is the expression, and the true meaning is the light of the Buddha. The donor is benevolent and quiet, the donor is Shakyamuni, the donor is filial piety and friendship, and the donor is Jizo. The Bodhisattva represents virtue, and the Buddha represents virtue, but everything is an expression. β
The woman's eyes shone slightly, her lips rose slightly, and she smiled with satisfaction.
She bowed her head slightly, and asked: "Buddhist disciples often say: There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, what is the explanation?" β
Fenzen nodded slightly, and said slowly: "We believe in it and often do not understand its meaning and foreword, today I will explain the most commonly used six words one by one." β
The woman knelt down on the futon again and looked at him quietly.
He said slowly: "Let's start with the ideology, the so-called "Nanwu" is the meaning of light, "Amitabha" is the immeasurable light and immeasurable life, and "Buddha" is the enlightened one. Together, it is an enlightened one who returns to immeasurable light and immeasurable life. Those who do not have the south are not only destined but also the righteousness of vows. Amitabha Buddha means that he will be reborn because of his righteousness. When we believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, their merits will be inflicted on sentient beings. This is the so-called cultivation without cultivation, and doing not work. Dialectical Zen understands that Nan Wu is the return of fate, faith, and entrustment. Before Nan Wu were sentient beings, that is, you and me. After Nan Wu are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, that is, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who return to your destiny in your heart. Amitabha Buddha is the king of the Buddhas, the Buddha of light, and issued 48 great vows to save all beings to become Buddhas, and the merits are immeasurable, and the world often says that there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south. When people in the world are sick, they pray to the Medicine Buddha of Nan Wu Liuli... The world is good, there is no Guanyin Bodhisattva in the south, the world is filial piety, and there is no Jizo King Bodhisattva in the south. I wonder if you understand? β
The woman raised her lips and smiled, nodding her head after all, and being able to explain these things so carefully and thoroughly shows that she is extremely proficient in the Dharma, not just a faΓ§ade.
For some reason, after listening to his words, she felt comfortable, as if she had washed her soul, exuding light and joy from the inside out.
The blue butterfly flew low and slowly landed on the tips of Zen's fingers.
The crowd of believers smiled and were not surprised. But Yongjia felt novel, he had already heard that there was a monk in Yunkai Temple, every time he preached the scriptures, Lan Butterfly fell for it, she didn't believe it in her heart, but she was really convinced when she saw it today.
The sky was overshadowed, and the lingering drizzle was approaching in the blink of an eye, so he raised his eyes to look at the sky, stood up with a smile, and said slowly: "Your elegant posture has poured the rain god, it seems that I can only talk to you tomorrow." β
This was a funny remark, and everyone laughed, and they did not feel uncomfortable when their clothes were wet by the drizzle, so they came to the wing room under the arrangement of the abbot to rest or change their clothes.
Fenzen changed into plain clothes, and wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, but because the light in the house was really bad on a rainy day, he simply put down his pen and ink and turned out of the meditation room. Walking through the corridor, the familiar sound of the piano came faintly in my ears.
He followed the sound of the piano, turned the courtyard gate, and saw a woman sitting under the linden tree holding the piano with her hands in her hands.
He smiled unconsciously and stood quietly under the porch to listen. At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of a gentle breeze and a drizzle in his ears, and the sound of seeds falling to the ground.
