Chapter Twenty-Seven: Birth is caused by cognition, and extinction is eliminated from color
Back in the mountains, it was a spring breeze.
Early the next morning, I just woke up and came to see me on the winter solstice. Xu You finished freshening up, looked at her and said with a smile: "Last night in the light market, I saw you and Shen Meng ......"
Winter Solstice's little face flushed, and he stood in the room with his head down, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said unruly: "Xiaolang......"
Xu You walked over, stood in front of him, rubbed the bun of the winter solstice, and said, "I've become a big girl, it's time to get married!" When you return to Beijing, Wen Jun will accept you as a righteous sister and follow her surname Zhan. Shen Meng's side, I will talk to him, three books and six ceremonies, the same is indispensable, I will let him marry you into the family in a beautiful way. ”
Dong Solstice raised his head, tears fell like rain, and said: "Xiaolang......"
"Don't cry, it's a great joy......"
Xu You scratched her nose, and her eyes were a little moist. For so many years, the winter solstice has followed him for thousands of miles, born and died, and has long been regarded as his own sister, and his sister has been married, and since then she has been a wife, and she will also be a mother, take care of the family business, teach her husband and children, and have another life, how can you not feel it in your heart?
Zhang Xuanji pulled the winter solstice to the side and said some private words about his daughter's family, nothing more than how he had a relationship with Shen Meng, how he treated you, if the two were happy, the day would be set as soon as possible...... Anyway, the heart of gossip, regardless of whether it is a fairy in the world or not, will be burning.
Xu You went out, without alarming anyone, went up along the mountain road, turned north, and meandered to the mountainside to the east, where the white walls and eaves of the courtyard were exposed in the lush pine trees.
It was originally a two-entry independent house, although it was located in the middle of nowhere, but the scenery was pleasant, and it was later given to the Buddhist master of the great virtue nun Daorong, and became the lonely hermitage where she practiced meditation.
knocked on the door, and a nun came out, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, delicate and lovely, and said, "Why did the layman come?" ”
"I came to your nunnery to ask for an old friend, and I also asked the second monk to make it convenient!"
The second monk is the name of a nun who has received full ordination in Buddhism. If you don't know the other party's position and seniority in Buddhism, and you are relatively young, you can call the second monk.
The nun shook her head and said, "The nunnery is full of monks who worship the Buddha and chant sutras, cut off the dust roots, where are the old friends?" Come back! ”
Xu You said with a smile: "I can't understand Buddhism, and it is difficult to answer the arguments of the two monks." It's just that I said that Xu You is visiting, and if Master Lianyin is gone, I will die of heart. ”
The nun obviously hadn't heard of Xu You's name, tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Okay, lay man later!" ”
After a while, the nun ran over panting and said, "Please...... Please come with me...... Venerable Lianyin has just finished her morning class and is waiting in the meditation room! ”
In the meditation room, I saw Lianyin, that is, the former Xiao Yao'er, the wide clothes covered the girl's young and colorful past, no need to speak, just look at her eyes, you can feel her inner peace and serenity at the moment.
"Xu Langjun, I haven't seen you for a long time, my face is the same as back then, and the poor nuns are overjoyed." Lianyin did not deliberately shy away from her old acquaintance with Xu You, and it was this kind of openness that showed that she really let go.
"Entangled in mundane affairs, running around and toiling, it is gradually getting old!" Xu You bowed slightly and said, "The mage has always been well?" ”
"There are flowers in front of the Buddha, famous and excellent, a thousand years of buds, a thousand years of buds, a thousand years of flowers, a snap of a finger thanks, an instant of beauty. But I read the scriptures hard and understood the truth, but I couldn't find a way. I'm good, and I'm not good! ”
Xu You, as the great Vibhasha of Buddhism, naturally understood the meaning of Lianyin's words. She feels the shortness of life and wants to seek positive results in a short life, but the original source of life is ignorance, and once there is life, it divides yin and yang, which is the so-called body and mind. Now if you want to "perish", if you want to turn back and become enlightened, if you want to obtain the fruit of annihilation, you must first remove the obstacles of the four major color bodies, and then you can talk about extinction.
How to remove color?
She couldn't find her way yet, so she was glad to know the existence of the other side, but she was confused because she couldn't find a boat to survive the sea of suffering.
Good and not good!
Xu You said: "The cause of life is known, and the extinction is eliminated from the color." Rationale has an epiphany, and it is realized and sold. The matter is not eliminated, because the order is exhausted. ”
This is the famous sentence of the "Lengyan Sutra", the truth can be enlightened, but to get rid of all the bad habits in the first half of life, it takes decades of penance, step by step, and when these bad habits are cleaned, you will become a Buddha.
There is no better way to practice than this.
There is no more difficult question about the Buddha than this.
Lianyin said: "People have eight sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, unwanted, and five yin sheng." When will we be liberated? ”
"Nan no Amitabha!" Xu You said: "The word A is the Buddha of the Ten Directions, the word Mi is all the Bodhisattvas, the word Tuo is the Eighty Thousand Holy Religions, and the three characters are sufficient." The so-called Amitabha Buddha in the south, 84,000 methods, these six characters are all accepted. If you want to be liberated, it is like reciting the Buddha, and the path of the Dharma Master is in it! ”
Lianyin was surprised and said, "What kind of Dharma is this?" ”
"Mahayana!"
Lianyin fell into deep thought, and for a long time, she suddenly got up and bowed down, and said, "Thank you, Davibhasha, for your guidance." All appearances are false, and if you see things that are not appearances, you will see them as they are. The road I had before was still in the picture! ”
Xu You stretched out his hand and said, "The mage is cultivating for diligence, congratulations!" ”
Lianyin's expression revealed some kind of false joy and freehand, and said: "Thanks to the Dharma transmission of the Great Vibhasha, Lianyin has benefited a lot. ”
However, apart from preaching the scriptures and preaching the Fa, the topics between the two can no longer involve all kinds of worldly matters.
Xu You sighed in his heart, knowing that this visit was a bit reckless, and was about to say goodbye, Lianyin smiled: "Lang Jun will not come to the nunnery if he has nothing to do, you might as well make it clear, if you can do your best, you should do your best." ”
Xu You hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. He introduced the old grudge between the Mountain Sect and Liu Hongyu, and now Liu Hongyu is bent on killing the Mountain Sect. Because Lian Yin had a bad relationship with Liu Hongyu when she was not a monk, she came to ask for a handwritten letter, if she could persuade her to turn her hostility into a jade silk, it would be the best, take a step back and say, even if she can't become friends, at least persuade her to give up the idea of assassination, so as not to end up in the end.
Lianyin knew that Liu Hongyu had been peeped upon by the thieves of the Ming pirates, and she also knew that this was the stinger that she had never pulled out in her heart, but she didn't know that the thief was the Mountain Sect, and she didn't know that Liu Hongyu had now become a five-rank little master, and she actually relied on her own force and dared to assassinate the four-rank general of the imperial court.
"Liu Hongyu was captured for her assassination in the middle of the night, and Shanzong released her without pursuing it. What happened back then was actually just a misunderstanding, Shanzong didn't really offend Miss Liu, this capture and release, no matter how big the old grudge should be over. It's just that you know Liu Hongyu's temper, I'm afraid she won't give up......"
Involving her best friend and confidant before becoming a monk, Xu You is a unique existence that she regards as a benefactor and friend, Lianyin did not refuse, immediately wrote a letter, and then instructed the little nun who answered the door to send Xu You out.
The door of the nunnery closed, Xu You stepped back, then turned around and strode away.
"Lianyin, can you put it down?"
In the plain meditation room, Master Daorong asked lightly.
Lianyin said happily: "The disciple thought that he hadn't let go yet, but when I saw it today, I realized that he had completely let go of it as early as the time when the hair fell." This heart does not make waves, this thought has no obstacles, all actions are impermanent, everything is suffering, all laws have no self, and silence is joy! ”
"Amitabha!"
Dao Rong put his hands together and said: "It should be like giving birth to a pure heart, not to live in the color to give birth to the heart, not to live in the sound and fragrance to touch the Dharma to give birth to the heart, and should not live in the heart without dwelling." I saw Xu You today, and I forgot Xu You, I can finally enter the Tao! ”
The lotus sound divine ritual is inside, and the treasure is announced, and he whispers: "Amitabha! ”
After leaving the Silent Zhao Nunnery, Xu You went to the Xuanji Academy again, met with many old friends, and took the time to give a lesson to the students of the Tianjing Jade Calculation Academy, who had come to the Tianjing Jade Calculation Academy because of questioning Xu You, Yu Ce has become one of Zu Xiao's favorite students, Zhang Xuanji also spoke highly of him, and he was particularly talented in arithmetic, mechanics, astronomy, geography, etc., and also drove many scholars to come to listen to the lectures and study, and the number was not less than that of the students of the Confucian Academy.
The origin of science often comes from an inconspicuous small trickle, after the precipitation of the sun and the moon, after all, it can converge into an endless sea, Xu You only opened the source of scientific thought in this era, and then supplemented by reasonable systems and power means, he firmly believes that it only takes a hundred years to change the future direction of the entire nation.
Seeing Shen Meng in the single-family building of the Academy Supervisory Committee, he didn't know that Xu You had insight into everything, and methodically reported the operation of the Academy for more than a year, Xu You listened for a while, interrupted him, and said with a smile: "You look at these things and deal with them, if they are difficult to decide, they will be submitted to the Supervisory Committee for discussion, and I will not interfere." I came to you today to talk to you about another thing......"
Shen Meng was inexplicable and said, "Please say it." ”
"I have ordered the dowry of the winter solstice to be prepared, when do you plan to propose?"
"Huh?"
After all, Shen Meng is a responsible man, and after so long of training in Xuanji Academy, he didn't show too much panic, and after a moment of sluggishness, he said seriously: "I was ready to clarify this matter with Weizhi before, but Dong Solstice felt embarrassed, let me wait...... Now that Wei Zhi knows, if he doesn't object, I'm going to send someone to propose marriage tomorrow......"
Xu You patted him on the shoulder and quipped: "The attitude is good, no wonder I can quietly abduct the most capable cadre under my command." Then it's decided, propose marriage tomorrow, let Zhou Yong be a matchmaker, if the dowry money is not enough, you can talk to me directly, don't be polite. ”
"The money is enough, the monthly salary of the academy is comparable to a year's work of others, and I have purchased fields and orchards, and the harvest is also good...... Shen Meng grinned and said: "Of course, a little bit of production can't be compared with the rich family, a small amount of compassion, don't open your mouth......"
Xu You said angrily: "Don't worry, Dong Solstice is Wenjun's righteous sister, and the dowry is enough for you to eat for a lifetime, if the dowry is shabby, I will halve the dowry, and you can weigh it yourself." ”
Shen Meng immediately beat the chicken blood and said, "I will immediately find a tooth shop to sell the field......
When the two were talking nonsense, Zu Yu pushed the door and rushed in, grabbed Xu You, and said, "Let me find it easy, I heard that the general came back, just in time for the black thing, let's try the power together......"
"Really?" Xu You was pleasantly surprised, and was pulled out of the door by Zu Yao, and did not forget to turn around and tell Shen Meng, "You go to Zhou Yong, let him learn how to be a matchmaker, don't make jokes!" ”
Shen Meng was stunned as Xu You and Zu Yu impatiently went downstairs, and wondered in his heart: What kind of black thing made Xu You so excited?
