The abbot slowly spoke, "I remember you told me before that you went down the mountain this time because you couldn't think about some things clearly, so now you can roughly talk about what you can't think about?" Because I always feel that something is wrong with your recent form, if there is something that you can't figure out, you can say it, maybe I can help you get to the bottom of it! ”

"It's not a serious matter, I just can't distinguish my feelings for a person!" Yun Shen slowly spoke, "I remember that my master told me that monks need the four great emptiness, but I don't understand, if we really achieve the four emptiness, then wouldn't we become a person without any emotion, and we have lost our awareness of those emotions in the outside world, so how can we be compassionate and help the world?" Again, I remember that there were many predecessors in Buddhism who were emotionally troubled, so how did they come out? ”

"In fact, if you just want to distinguish your feelings for a person, this is not very difficult, after all, we have nothing more than two feelings for a person, either like or hate, but there are many kinds of likes, you can be family, friendship, or love, as for how to let these emotions be perceived, I believe you also know!" The abbot slowly spoke, "And then, as you just said, the four major monks are empty, is it really a good thing?" I don't think that's a good point. The so-called four emptiness does not require you to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but tells you that you don't need to be troubled by these emotions, why do ordinary people have so many troubles? Because they are always worried about whether they will hurt anyone by doing this thing, whether they will hurt another person by doing that thing, their lives are always difficult, and they are thinking about others every day, not that it is bad to think about this matter for others, but if you blindly base your own things on thinking about others, then this matter is destined to not satisfy yourself! Furthermore, when we are monks are empty, what exactly does it mean? I think it should refer to the fact that when we are faced with those emotional entanglements or temptations, we can keep our own hearts, what our original thoughts are, and what we are still like after experiencing these things, which is the so-called four emptiness, not that a person is lying in front of you and is seriously injured and needs your help. Your four major emptiness is to see death and not be saved! ”

"But, abbot, I still don't understand, maybe I'm too young to experience as many things as you, or maybe I just can't turn this corner, I always feel that if I really want to achieve the four major emptiness, I must need to experience those things myself to have the opportunity and ability, to say that I can get out of those entanglements, if it's like now, I force myself to cut off those emotions, I can't do it, let alone help others!" Yun Shen slowly spoke, "I remember the last time my master asked me to go down the mountain to practice, it was also this question, and what impressed me the most about that experience was three stories, after passing these three stories, I seemed to have a temporary answer, but as time slowly accumulated, I found that this was not the case, so I don't understand, could it be that these so-called Buddhist principles are all answers that have been discussed, and they can't allow any other existence?" ”

After hearing Han Yueyun's words, the abbot smiled lightly, and his tone was full of tolerance, "Child, in fact, no matter which religion it is, no matter what kind of culture it is, it is all-encompassing, everything in the world, there is no one definite answer, maybe today you look at it from this angle, it should be like this, but tomorrow you look at it from another angle, it is a different look, just like you sit here today and talk to me, even if tomorrow we will still have the same topic, the same time to sit here, But it's just different! What we can understand now is just one or more of the thousands of answers, so no one will criticize you and say that you must be wrong in this matter, and no one will tell you that you are always right in doing this thing! It's a good thing that you can have your own ideas, but what you need to do is you try to make your ideas the right thing for yourself, so that people will be convinced when you say it, not that if you say something now, and you think it's right, it must be right, and if I say that, can you understand what I mean? ”

"So you mean that I have those ideas that are correct, and as long as I can find a way to prove it myself, then no one can overthrow me?" Yun Shen slowly spoke: "Even if what I am arguing for is not allowed in the existing Buddhist rules? ”

The abbot sighed softly, "Child, things can't be like you, you can indeed argue what you want to prove as you say, and everyone really can't criticize you with so-called incorrect reasons, but if someone can use the existing reason to overturn what you say, then you must also accept it!" ”

After the abbot finished saying this, Yun Shen was silent and did not continue to speak, in fact, he probably understood what the abbot said, he can have his own ideas, as long as he can prove that he is right, but others can also question his ideas, as long as there is a reason. But if this is the case, and all the truths have been in the process of being overturned by the theory, then what is the point of finding out these truths?

Seeing that Yun Shen didn't speak for a long time, the abbot continued to speak, "As for what you just said, there are many predecessors in Buddhism who are trapped by love, and this thing is not false, but the reason why they can become famous predecessors is because they were trapped by love in the early stage, but then they solved this problem very well!" ”

So, can't the so-called Buddhahood and feelings really coexist? This happened many years ago! Yun Shen slowly spoke, "Is it just because of the so-called Buddhism that these things have been worn away in the long river of historical development?" ”

"Your current thinking has reached a misunderstanding, even if you and I explain the culture of thousands of years up and down, you will feel that what I said is not right, so I think we will put this topic down for the time being, you first calm down, and then think about it carefully, if you think there are still problems, we will continue to discuss, do you think it's okay?" The abbot still spoke tolerantly, "You should know better than me that people's emotions are in a state of excitement, and many things are inconsistent with what you really want to express, and you are in this state right now, so I don't want the argument between the two of us to have a deviation in the outcome because of the so-called emotional problems!" ”

In fact, there was no need for the abbot to take the initiative to speak, Yun Shen also knew that his current state was not very right, so after the abbot finished saying these words, he also nodded, saying that he could calm down first. 33 Listen to the book

"You always wanted to be quiet before, so I went to think somewhere else, but now I look at your situation and feel that you are not suitable for being alone, so you should continue to think in the temple for the next time, if you encounter any problems, you can let people come to me, of course, considering your needs, I will try not to let them come and disturb you!" The abbot spoke, "Although I really want you to stay with us, I know that you shouldn't be trapped by those so-called bonds, so I prefer you to stay after you have thought everything through!" ”

After saying this, Yun Shen nodded slowly, "I know, thank you, abbot!" ”

"You don't need to be so polite, when I was as old as you in the past, I was far less good than you, and then I encountered such a difficult problem to deal with, or your master came forward, so I have this kind of creation, otherwise I may be vulgar!" The abbot smiled, "Although I'm not your senior, I feel inexplicably familiar when I see you like this, because I've experienced this, so I want you to take fewer detours!" ”

Maybe it was this conversation with the abbot that had a little effect, Yun Shen didn't go out every day to continue to find a quiet place to stay, except for the first few days Yun Shen just trapped himself in the room and didn't go out much, but later, he also began to follow the monks in the temple to do morning classes, chanting scriptures or something, that is, because of this, a peaceful life, Yun Shen's thoughts also slowly quieted down.

"Little Master, you have been in our temple for so long this time, don't you plan to leave in the future?" On this day, after doing the morning class, a monk suddenly stopped Yun Shen and asked, "Did I hear that you were kicked out by Master Wuhate because you violated the rules, is there such a thing?" ”

Hearing the little monk's question, Yun Shen didn't lose his temper, but said very gently, "So what do you think of me?" ”

"Little Master, you are a closed disciple of Master Wuxi, and you should be very clear about those rules, so you must not make mistakes!" The little monk hurriedly spoke, "And I've heard you talk about those big truths before, I think you spoke very well, so I think the little master should want to stay here and cultivate us!" ”

"But what if I do break those rules?" Yun Shen smiled and asked rhetorically, "Although the title of disciple of Master Wuhate is really beautiful, it doesn't mean that I won't make any mistakes?" ”

The little monk originally just wanted to come over and say good things about Yun Shen, but after being asked by Yun Shen like this, he was stunned for a while, "Little Master, are you joking, even we won't make a mistake, how could you make it?" ”

"Maybe it's because I'm too bored in the mountains, so I came up with this idea!" Yun Shen smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think I suddenly appeared here, I just want to tell you about these so-called truths?" The temple I stayed in, but the place where many monks in the world want to go, if I really want to be reasonable, wouldn't it be better to talk about it in my own temple? ”

Originally, the little monk was still wondering if Yun Shen was really joking, but after hearing him say this again, the thoughts in his heart had begun to waver, yes, if Yun Shen really didn't make any mistakes, why give up such a good place of his own, come to such a small temple, and stay for so many days......

"So, little monk, the next time you ask someone something, don't think with your inherent thinking, otherwise if you are really asked by others and can't speak, it will not be good!" Yun Shen smiled, "Although the truths I told you are good, it doesn't mean that I can't make mistakes, as long as I am a human being, there will be times when I make mistakes, even if I do it to the point of my master, he will have times when he thinks wrong, so don't know anyone with the so-called worship!" ”
