Chapter 4: I Am the Buddha
When Dizang came to the main hall, the hall was already crowded with people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the main seat in front of the Buddha statue, the Heavenly Wheel Master sat cross-legged with a very solemn expression. On his left-hand side, there was a middle-aged man with a thin figure, but he saw that this person was wearing a gorgeous robe, a fan-shaped hat, and a delicate small fan, and his body faintly exuded a high-ranking atmosphere. This middle-aged man is none other than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Behind the two of them, there were more than a dozen gray-robed monks, all of whom were senior monks of the Fire Temple.
On the left and right sides of the main hall, a total of four groups of people came. The two groups on the left are the delegation of the Temple of the Wind and the Temple of the Earth, the delegation of the Temple of the Wind is headed by the famous monk Fenfu Monk, and the delegation of the Temple of the Earth is headed by the famous monk Ichizuma Monk. The two groups on the right are the delegations of the Temple of Thunder and the Temple of Water, the delegation of the Temple of Thunder is headed by the famous monk Xinguan monk, and the delegation of the Temple of Water is headed by the famous monk Miaoichi.
The national temples of the four major countries came to the door to "ask for advice", which was obviously premeditated.
As the host, Master Tianlun was the first to speak: "All the eminent monks have come to this temple today, this temple is full of brilliance, and the poor monks have not come away to welcome them, and I ask for forgiveness. ”
The blessed monk of the Temple of the Wind said: "Master Tianlun is so angry, we have come to disturb us today, and we are the ones who should ask for forgiveness." Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words again: "However, we are here to seek the Dharma, and presumably Master Tianlun will not be surprised by this." ”
A true monk of the Earth Temple said: "Yes, I have heard that the Buddhism of the Temple of Fire is profound, and we have come thousands of miles to ask for the true meaning of the Dharma, and also ask the Master of the Heavenly Wheel to give advice." ”
With these two people at the beginning, the Mind Monk of the Thunder Temple and the Miaoyi Monk of the Water Temple also echoed one after another, and although their words were quite sincere, they were full of a provocative taste.
As for the intention of the four major temples, Master Tianlun naturally knew it, but he was not a person who was afraid of things, so he immediately went straight to the point and said: "I don't dare to give advice, if you have any difficulties, you might as well say it directly." ”
Monk Fenfu smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, we are rude." ”
As he spoke, he turned sideways and glanced at the monks behind him.
A young monk then walked out slowly and asked, "The Buddha appeared in the world for a great event, but I don't know what this great event is?" ”
As soon as he finished asking, a young monk came out from behind the Heavenly Wheel Guru and replied, "Life and death." ”
At this time, a young monk also came out of the delegation of the Earth Temple and asked, "Buddhism teaches people to abandon evil and follow good, why is it mixed with the good and evil in the world?" ”
A young monk came out from behind the Heavenly Wheel Guru and replied, "The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. Don't talk about troubles, how to show Bodhi. ”
Then, a young monk from the delegation of the Thunder Temple also came out and asked: "When the Buddha said that the number of sand in the Ganges River refers to the three thousand worlds?" ”
Not to be outdone, the monks of the Temple of Fire also came out of a young monk and replied: "Three thousand is a number that can be counted, and the number of Ganges sand is difficult to calculate, so the number of Ganges sand is not three thousand." ”
In this way, the monks of the four delegations and the monks of the Temple of Fire began to ask each other repeatedly, and the battle between the two sides was in full swing.
The battle lasted more than half an hour, and the two sides were still deadlocked.
At this moment, the monk Miaoichi of the Temple of Water finally spoke, only to hear and ask, "What is a Buddha?" ”
As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
Monk Miaoyi's question, although it seems simple, is actually extremely difficult. Because there is no general answer to this question at all, no matter how you answer it, it is not convincing.
For a moment, the monks of the Fire Temple were stumped, and even the Heavenly Wheel Master frowned slightly. Next to the Heavenly Wheel Master, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation is also as heavy as water.
Seeing this scene, the monks of the four delegations naturally looked proud.
The monks of these four countries came together to save face in the Temple of Fire, which is the birthplace of the Land of Fire, and sweeping the face of the Temple of Fire is equivalent to sweeping the face of the Land of Fire. In the first ninja war, the country of fire was the victorious country, and the other four countries were deeply resentful, if there was a peace of mind today, there would be no war in a short time, so they could only find their way back in this way.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was present in person for this reason.
Just when the monks of the Temple of Fire were in trouble, a childish voice suddenly came: "The heart is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the heart." There is no Buddha outside the heart, and there is no heart outside the Buddha. That is, the mind is the Buddha, and the non-mind is not the Buddha. I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me. ”
Suddenly hearing this answer, the atmosphere in the hall was quiet again, because this answer was so wonderful and so impeccable. So, all the people followed the prestige.
The one who answered was none other than Jizo.
The reason why he was able to answer it was because of the great day of the true scriptures.
It turns out that the Dharma passed on to him in the sequel of the Great Day Nyorai Sutra is divided into two paths, the five unique learnings, which are only the embodiment of the "body" and the "use" of the Buddhadharma.
Under Jizo's answer, the look on the faces of the monks of the four countries suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by shock and inexplicability. On the other hand, on the side of the Temple of Fire, the gloom is gone, and everyone is ruddy. The Daimyo of the Fire Country, who was sitting on the throne, did not have the same solemn face as before, and there was a slight smile on his face.
Shocked for a moment, Monk Miaoyi immediately asked, "I don't know who this little master is?" ”
Jizo made the eleventh salute and said, "The little monk's Dharma name Jizo is the disciple of the master. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Heavenly Wheel Master.
Master Tianlun looked relieved and nodded slightly.
Monk Miaoyi said: "It turned out to be the high foot of the Heavenly Wheel Master, no wonder the Dharma attainments are so profound. After a slight pause, he continued: "The poor monk still has a difficult problem here, please ask the little master to answer it." ”
Jizo said, "Please ask the master to come up with the question." ”
At that moment, Monk Miaoyi was not polite, stretched out his left index finger, drew a small circle in the air, and then pointed forward.
Seeing his actions, everyone was stunned at first, and then they understood that he was asking the Fa in the way of playing dumb riddles.
Jizo smiled slightly, stretched his hands forward, and drew a large circle.
Seeing this, Monk Miaoyi couldn't help but turn pale and stretched out his left index finger.
Jizo smiled again and stretched out the five fingers of his left hand.
A hint of surprise flashed in Monk Miaoyi's eyes, and he stretched out three fingers again.
Jizo still smiled slightly, and pointed to his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a surprising scene appeared, only to see the monk Miaoichi get up and come to Jizo, kneel down in fear, bow his head three times. said in his mouth: "The little master is the reincarnation of the living Buddha, and the poor monk is convinced!" ”
Seeing Monk Miaoichi's actions, and hearing his words again, everyone was immediately shocked.
Monk Miaoyi said in his heart: "This little master is really amazing, I just made a small circle with my hand and pointed forward, I want to ask him, you are so young, how deep can the Dharma be?" He spread out his hands and made a large circle, saying that it was as deep as the sea. I held out another finger and asked him how he was. He stretched out his five fingers and said that he had taken the five precepts. I stretched out my three fingers again and asked him how the Three Realms were. He pointed to his eyes and said that the Three Realms were in his eyes. With this little master in the Temple of Fire, it seems that the purpose of our trip cannot be achieved. ”
