Master Xuyun smiled, not smiling but looking up and laughing, and the entire hall was filled with his laughter.

It seems that Monk Jingyi's question made him feel funny, but Zhou Heng didn't feel like this, it was with disappointment and self-deprecation, and there was a kind of helplessness and regret in it.

Stopping his laughter, Master Xuyun looked at Monk Jingyi.

"Who is the old man, there will be someone to prove it, you don't need to worry about this, since today is the opening of the altar to preach, then I will also ask you a question, that is, the question I asked your master back then, thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, thousands of miles of cloudless and thousands of miles of sky, can you understand what it means?"

Monk Jingyi knew that now he was in a dilemma, either he would admit that the person in front of him was Master Xuyun, but if he admitted Master Xuyun, he would be reprimanded or punished more severely to a large extent.

If you don't admit it, you will have a lot of protection because of the previous canonization, and a king can't go back on his word, after all, he, the host, is the emperor's own host, so he won't slap himself in the face.

So it doesn't matter if it's true now, as long as he doesn't admit it, as for debating this, he really doesn't believe anyone.

This Zen saying, how could he not know that the master had been enlightened all his life, especially before he left, it seemed to be a return to the light, and the master also got up and talked to him deliberately.

Thinking of the gesture that the master had participated in all his life, Monk Jingyi's face suddenly lost the trace of nervousness before.

Then he turned the sleeves of the monk's robe upwards and said indifferently:

The poor monk believes that the interpretation of this Zen saying should be that a thousand rivers can reflect a thousand rounds of bright moons in the water. There is not a single cloud in the sky, but you can see that the sky is blue. It is said that meditation and the character of Buddhism should be like a stagnant mind, and calm as a clear sky. ”

Master Xuyun bowed slightly, and unexpectedly did not directly deny it, but said more pertinently:

"If it is the old man before the age of thirty, maybe he also has this enlightenment, this is indeed the original meaning of this sentence, the heart is like water, quiet as the clear sky, I wonder if you have any other enlightenment?"

Monk Jingyi shook his head slightly, this is the result of his master's enlightenment, he has been extremely poor all his life, thinking of this, Monk Jingyi didn't care, smiled slightly, glanced at Zhou Heng, and everyone present.

"I don't know what you want, is there anyone in this Baohua Temple who gives a better answer? Or a more advanced understanding? ”

Master Xuyun raised his eyes and looked at the Jingyi monk with disdain in his eyes, but he was not angry, but looked around for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Heng.

"What do you have to understand this Zen language?"

Zhou Heng was stunned, and thought to himself, how can this old monk go back on his word, you didn't come here to solve the siege, why did you throw the ball directly to yourself, who knows what you want to say about this thing?

However, looking at Monk Jingyi, he seemed to be relieved, as if he let himself answer, and he was relieved.

Zhou Heng was angry, he really didn't take himself seriously, he felt that he was a doctor, and he didn't understand anything, right?

We are highly educated people, up and down 5,000 years of history, as well as poetry and classics know some, although it is to answer immediately, it is better to talk nonsense, otherwise how to deceive the patient to treat the disease, and persuade the patient to treat.

As for this sentence, it is actually not difficult to understand, it is the moon and the sky, this is to give you an essay question, anyway, the final topic should be very philosophical and very bluffing.

After a little silence, Zhou Heng raised his head and got up directly from the futon, after all, he seemed to be a dwarf when he was sitting, and this momentum was weak, Zhou Heng stood still, and everyone's eyes fell, which was naturally on his body.

Master Xuyun looked indifferent, as if this was just a classroom for questioning, waiting for the disciple to answer, and encouraged:

"Don't care, just say whatever comes to mind!"

"The moon is like Buddha nature, a thousand rivers are like sentient beings, rivers are no matter how big or small, there is water and there is a moon; There is no distinction between high and low people, and some people have Buddha nature.

Buddha-nature is in the human heart, omnipresent; Just like the moon shining on the river, everything is reflected. Any sentient being, as long as he has the heart to learn Buddhism, he will have Buddha nature, and any river, as long as there is water, it will have a bright moon.

There are clouds in the sky, and above the clouds are the sky. As long as there are no clouds in the sky, then the sky will be blue for all miles. Heaven can be regarded as the Buddha's mind, and clouds are material desires and afflictions. When the troubles and material desires are gone, the nature of the Buddha's mind will naturally appear.

If you use Zen language to explain Zen language, I think of a sentence, the heart is clear and the moon is clear, which means that the sky is cloudless! ”

Originally, Master Xuyun just wanted to hear Zhou Heng's simple words, but when he heard Zhou Heng's words, he immediately opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He actually wanted to see if Zhou Heng had some understanding, but he didn't expect that this understanding had surpassed his understanding of Buddha nature and Buddha mind.

Yes, if the heart is not clear why there is a bright moon, the meaning is uncertain, and the clouds will definitely emerge endlessly.

The true Zen meaning of this sentence is not only to say that there is water and there is a moon, and that someone can practice Buddhism, but also represents the realm and mind of cultivating Buddha.

Monk Jingyi was even more surprised with surprise on his face, looking at Master Xuyun's expression, he knew that he had never asked Zhou Heng in this way, so he was extremely surprised to hear Zhou Heng's opinion today, and Zhou Heng just thought of something, talking eloquently, he was a little jealous of such understanding.

But at this time, it is natural that it cannot be so admitted.

Not to mention whether these people who listened to Zen could comprehend the content, many of these monks behind him had already begun to fold their hands and try their best to remember what Zhou Heng had just said, which made him even more worried.

Monk Jingyi shook his head with a smile and stared at Zhou Heng, as if he didn't care about Zhou Heng's words.

"If the poor monk remembers well, this Zhou benefactor calls you Master, if you ask this question, is it biased?"

Master Xuyun smiled and looked at Monk Jingyi with a sigh.

"Then you can ask, how about it?"

Monk Jingyi squinted, the Buddha beads in his hand kept twisting, it could be seen that he was searching his intestines and scraping his stomach, constantly thinking about how to come up with this question, he must be looking for the most difficult one for Zhou Heng to explain.

Zhou Heng glanced at Master Xuyun, he found that this Master Xuyun didn't know whether to say that he had a big heart, or that he had confidence in himself, the whole person closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off on the futon, not pretending to be asleep, but really closing his eyes.

This discovery made Zhou Heng stunned, and for a while he felt that he felt a little strange today, when he originally saw Master Xuyun, he felt that he was under siege, and the reinforcements arrived!

Only then did I find out that this reinforcement was an empty shell, and he had to do everything by himself, and now Zhou Heng felt like he was swallowing a fly.

At this moment, Monk Jingyi's fingers twisting the Buddha beads suddenly paused, and he opened his eyes instantly.

These onlookers also collectively pricked up their ears.

The previous question of Master Xuyun has opened everyone's eyes, and this time I don't need to introduce it, I know that there must be a more difficult one, how to analyze such a golden sentence is really attractive.

I saw Monk Jingyi looking at Zhou Heng with a contemptuous look in his eyes, and said slowly:

"Don't say it, I really think of a Zen saying, I don't know if Master Zhou can analyze it for you, the law can't be the law, and the law can't be the law. When it is impossible to pay today, how can the law be lawed? ”

Zhou Heng greeted the ancestors of Jingyi Monk in his heart, looking at him like this, even if it was not for the reputation and appreciation of Master Xuyun, just to be worthy of his various knowledge of five thousand years, he could not admit it today.

This sentence, in fact, is not too difficult to understand, just like chickens laying eggs and eggs and chickens, first eggs or first chickens, this entangled question for a century is a truth.

That is to say, there is no solution to this thing, as long as you make sense, you are reasonable.

After all, philosophy is unreasonable, the more unreasonable you are, and the more reasonable you seem to be speaking, then you are reasonable.

Zhou Heng turned around and tidied up the robe on his body, although he couldn't let the clothes on his body move without wind at this time, at least he had to not lose in momentum, his feet were shoulder-width apart, he looked at Monk Jingyi and said slowly.

The implication is that all the Dharma is inherently impossible, and in order to save sentient beings, it is necessary to assume all kinds of Dharma to cure all kinds of mental diseases of sentient beings. If sentient beings are free from illness, then there is no need to assume all the Dharma.

In fact, there are only two types of Buddhism, one is to enter the world and the other is to be born. The entry of Buddhism into the world is that the Buddha teaches in response to the illness of sentient beings, and the prescriptions used can be as many as immeasurable; Birth is the only way for all beings to follow the Buddha.

Just like the question of chickens laying eggs, is there a chicken or an egg first, if there are no eggs, is there no chicken? ”
