Chapter 34 Do no evil, but do all good

Winter snow has been sprinkled one after another, intermittently, and the weather has never cleared. Bayi Chinese Net ≈≈≥.≤ The weeping willows on both sides of the Brocade Creek are like dead trees rejuvenating, covered in silver, and the whole alley is dazzling.

Zuo Yan came back from outside, brushed away the snow with a duster, his face was a little uncertain, and said: "Lang Jun, there are a few more apprentices of the Crouching Tiger Division, and they are very flamboyant, and they are not shy about it, they just walk back and forth around the area, and from time to time they ask the neighbors about the situation of Jingyuan. ”

Xu You was practicing calligraphy, and he rarely went out during this time, so he picked up the fonts that he had fallen from running around before. If the calligraphy does not advance, he will retreat, and if he wants to settle down, he can't waste a good handwriting.

"The yellow-eared dog heard a strange sound and moved, did any of you knock over the dishes and chopsticks?" This is full of ridicule, but it has a source. The Crouching Tiger Division of Sili Mansion once handled the case, and when the suspect was arrested, he was still packing up and preparing to run away, and said with a bitter face How did you come so fast with a group of yellow-eared dogs, and a disciple replied that my generation heard a strange sound and moved, as soon as the money in your old dog's bag rang, we knew it, and it was rumored to be a joke.

The autumn equinox and the frost are left and right, Chunlan and Qiuju, each is good at winning, one person grinding, one person paperweight, and said in unison: "No!" ”

"No?"

Xu You took the pen, slightly dissatisfied with the words just now, I don't know if the quality of the Zhongshan pen in his hand is too poor, or this Zuobo paper has lost its rhyme, anyway, how awkward it looks, sighed, and said: "It seems that Meng Xingchun still doesn't worry about me!" ”

He Wei, who was lying on the side, looked at a yellow ancient book, and I don't know who made it, but found it from a dusty study in Jingyuan. The former owner of this house went to the sea to do business, and actually collected many ancient books from all over the world and hid them at home, but looking at the dust on the pages, he should not have read it much, it was purely vassal elegance. He closed the book, turned over and sat up, and said with a smile: "Su Tang left Jingyuan, you are still closed, of course Meng Xingchun wants to know what you are doing!" ”

If you don't go out before, you can also use it as a greedy woman, with Su Tang Hu Tianhu Emperor, I don't know the passage of the sun and the moon, but now that there is no reason for this, Xu You can't get it if he wants to be pure.

"Okay, go call the winter solstice together, and go out for a walk now!" Xu You threw the pen, crumpled the paper, turned around and asked, "Who knows where to sell paper and pen, ask for good paper, good pen!" ”

Qiantang City in the heavy snow has less a trace of fireworks, more graceful Zen, a group of people walked through the willow lane, bypassed the Sanlifang, can see the Yuanyang Jinglu on the edge of the West Lake from afar, oh no, now it is called Dade Temple, dozens of craftsmen are shirtless, there is still white steam on their heads, and they are braving the snow to demolish the original houses one by one.

The construction of Dade Temple is expensive, the state government allocated part of the money, and then Qiantang County took out a part, and the rest of the difference was raised by Buddhism. However, Yangzhou as the base camp of the Heavenly Master's Dao, there are not many ordinary laymen who believe in Buddhism, and they can't raise much money, so under the instruction of some people in the imperial capital, Zhu Fayan sent disciples to the homes of some middle-class scholars to turn into fate, and it is not a matter to give more or less, at least let the Buddha see your heart to the Buddha.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe in Buddhism, Buddhism pays attention to equality and education, which is a step more radical than Confucianism's teaching without class, as long as you have a good heart, you can bear good results.

What is kindness? Donating money to Daitokuji Temple is the greatest kindness!

These middle-class scholars couldn't afford to provoke Buddhism, so they had to swallow their anger and pay obediently. Of course, there are also many people who want to speculate and take the initiative to send huge sums of money to Buddhism. So even coaxing and deceiving the refuge of the grass on the wall, Zhu Fayan quickly raised enough money for the initial period, so after the handover today, he immediately broke ground.

It is no wonder that Zhu Fayan is eager, Zhu Daorong gave him a time limit, only four months, and the eighth bathing Buddha Festival in early April next year must be completed, for which no manpower, no money, no matter everything!

"Dade ...... Sanskrit is called Bhattanta, isn't it? "Xu You has a wide range of knowledge, proficient in various classics of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, especially after being reborn, many books he has read in his previous life, whether they are rotten or superficial, appear more clearly in his mind, and he has not been lost in the long river of memory with the passage of time and space, but seems to have been washed and tempered over the years, becoming more and more solid.

"After today, the Buddha said that after today, the small Xia Qiang, in the long stay, should call the great virtue! The Sanskrit word of great virtue is Bhattanda, which means that he is old and virtuous, and Shichiro is really knowledgeable! He Wei talked about the Buddhist scriptures, but his words were disdainful, his expression was ridiculed, and he did not have the demeanor of a famous monk.

It is also a Sanskrit word, which translates to mean a bhikshu, a Buddhist disciple who has become a monk. Xu You still understands this, turned his head to look at Zuo Yan and the others, and said, "Who knows what the 'great virtue' in "Yi" means? ”

Zuo Yan was ashamed and said: "I haven't read through the Book of Changes, this, I really don't know how to explain it." ”

After holding his hands back, he stepped backwards in the snow, his delicate and delicate figure was undoubtedly revealed, he frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly his face was happy, and said: "I remember, the great virtue of heaven and earth is born, and it is easy to live endlessly!" ”

Xu You applauded and said with a smile: "That's right! ”

The autumn equinox doesn't like to read since she was a child, and she doesn't have the conditions to study with Xu You, and she has too much to do in terms of knowledge, so she can't suppress the worship in her heart, pulls her skirt sleeves, and praises: "Sister, you know so much!" ”

Although the winter solstice reads, it is similar to Zuo Yan, and he knows too little about "Yi", and after listening to the words of Lu Shuang, he felt something, and said: "The great virtue mentioned by Confucianism is much more transparent than that of Buddhism." The great virtue is really simple and clear, but it points to the most profound truth between heaven and earth. Xiaolang, what is the great virtue of Taoism? ”

Although Yi is regarded as one of the six classics by Confucianism, it is not entirely a Confucian classic. Taoism also learns "Yi", and from the great virtue of heaven and earth to draw out the understanding of life, the living person has not tasted life, and the person born is born, which is the meaning of life reproduction and endless breeding. Speaking of this word of virtue, Confucius believed that virtue is harmony and harmony, that is, benevolence. Lao Tzu believes that all things in the world are born from the Tao, and if they are in harmony with the Tao, they must be virtuous. As for Buddhism, there is a very famous Seven Buddhas precepts, do not do evil, all good practice, this is the great virtue of Sakyamuni, and it cannot be said that it is worse than Confucianism and Taoism! ”

"Lao Tzu's virtue is to go with the flow, do nothing and do nothing, Confucius's virtue is to repay kindness, revenge, Hu Seng's virtue is to be obedient, and I have to endure it." Dong Solstice pursed his lips and said, "Speaking of which, Buddhism is still the most shameless!" ”

Xu You smiled bitterly, the winter solstice is smart, but in view of his youth and experience, his knowledge is a little extreme, and he said: "Buddhism requires that all evils be done, the prohibition of restraints, and the innocent act; All good deeds are pursued, and the mind is pure; Purify one's intentions, remove evil and turn it upside down. It is also said that all evil should not be done, and all good should be pursued, but there is a leak of good, and evil is not the ultimate, so there is something missing. Only then did he talk about self-purification, getting rid of ignorance and troubles, transcending the unblemished goodness of the opposition between good and evil, and integrating the inner moral mind with the outer moral essence. ”

The Winter Solstice's view of Buddhism is full of personal prejudices, but this prejudice largely represents the initial understanding of Yangzhou locals about this Buddhism introduced from the Western Regions.

After more than 100 years of tireless preaching and brainwashing, many people's minds and spirits are shackled in a narrow world, whether you believe in the Tao or not, you instinctively feel disgusted with another religion, and at the same time there is a subtle sense of insecurity that has been violated.

This is determined by the exclusivity of religion, but the miraculous thing is that in this civilized and prosperous country, no matter how many religions and different beliefs are, they can be slowly assimilated and integrated, and then passed down from generation to generation along the drama of love and killing, and they have never died out, nor will they always be dominant.

Zhu Fayan has a long way to go!

"Winter solstice, you scold the monk shamelessly," He Wei laughed and said, "But you are scolding me to your face......"

Dong Solstice always unconsciously forgot the fact that He Wei was once a monk, stuck out his tongue, and obediently hid to the side and stopped talking. Xu You couldn't shut her up with hundreds of words, and He Wei teased her, so scared that she didn't even dare to refute it, which shows that when it comes to the skill of mouth cannons, He Wei is invincible.

In fact, He Wei doesn't mind others scolding monks, because he scolds himself the most, but unlike others, he has no position, as long as he doesn't like it, not only monks, but also Confucian scholars and Taoist priests.

"Winter Solstice is right, the monk is shameless......"

"Amitabha! I don't know why Tan Yue wants to scold the monks? If there are monks in the door who speak or act inappropriately, please advise, and if so, urge them to change. ”

Everyone turned around, but saw three white-clothed monks standing seven or eight meters behind them, about forty or fifty years old, with gray beards in the black, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and treasures. Xu You didn't want to make trouble, so he stopped He Wei, afraid that he would be speechless, so he bowed and saluted, and said: "My friend joked, it was unintentional, and it was no wonder that he was offended!" ”

The monk clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Since it is a joke, why offend?" It's the old monk who is abrupt, don't blame, don't blame! ”

"Don't dare!" Xu You turned sideways and moved out of the way, and said respectfully, "Please go first, mage!" ”

The monk saluted and walked away, one of the two young monks behind him, with sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, a face like a peach blossom, eyes and eyes, and a charming posture, compared to Gu Yun, who was better than a woman.

If Gu Yun is the flower of spring dawn, this monk is the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, bald and white, adding a bit of elegant demeanor. When he passed by Xu You's side, he smiled and nodded, very calmly.

Waiting for the monks to go away, Xu You asked, "Is it Zhu Fayan?" ”

He Wei shook his head and said, "No, Zhu Fayan is younger than this old bald donkey!" If Xu You hadn't stopped him just now, he would have lectured to the old monk, and he would not be polite on his lips.

Zuo Yan blamed himself: "It was my dereliction of duty that I was approached by someone, but I didn't show up." ”

Since the last time he was poisoned, his life was hanging by a thread, Zuo Yan had injured his spirit, and he had raised it for so long, but his skills still did not return to his old outlook. However, today, the snow was thick, and they were talking loudly, and there were people passing by from time to time, and they didn't pay special attention to the back, so that the three monks listened to the scolding, which was indeed a little embarrassing.

"Seven or eight meters away, no one can really listen to it, and the wind tiger doesn't have to blame himself!" Xu You was relieved, changed his words, and said, "Winter Solstice, you write down the appearance of that handsome monk, and check his origin another day!" ”

He Weiqi said: "Why don't I have a handsome monk? Shichiro, don't you want to emulate Long Yang? ”

Dong Solstice felt strange in her heart, but she also knew that He Wei was laughing, Xu You was not as good as Long Yang, and said, "No, I'll check tomorrow!" "In any case, Cha Handsome Man, even if he is a monk, is always a pleasing thing to the eye.
