Chapter 388: Is There Any Difficulty?

For monks debating Buddhism or something, Emperor Chongzhen himself was not very interested.

What kind of wind does not move, what does the heart move, these things you let Chongzhen listen to and make him sleepy and want to sleep.

But one thing is different is that the two Shaolin temples actually fight each other, which is very interesting - shouldn't it be a family of bald donkeys in the world?

Slowly, Emperor Chongzhen also heard the flavor - Southern Shaolin was dissatisfied with Northern Shaolin, or dissatisfied with himself.

It can't be said that he is dissatisfied with himself, but he is dissatisfied with his behavior of edicting the great monk Kuanhai into the capital.

In terms of contributing to the country and the profundity of Buddhism, Southern Shaolin felt that he was no worse than Northern Shaolin, so why should he let Monk Kuanhai go instead of letting the abbot of Southern Shaolin go?

Therefore, under the leadership of the first Yongkuan monk of the Dharma Hall, South Shaolin went north to Songshan Shaolin Temple to find trouble with North Shaolin.

Coincidentally, Emperor Chongzhen met him.

listened to the monks on both sides arguing for a long time, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't hear a reason - it's not that he doesn't eat grapes and spit out grape skins, and he doesn't eat grapes but spit out grape skins......

The problem is that Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of Buddhism was limited to grape skins and consecration for women who had lost their footing.

After listening for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen, who found that he still didn't understand anything, felt a little bored, and simply coughed.

After Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan stopped, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "The Dharma is profound, and I sound a little struggling. If ordinary people listen to it, they must be even more ignorant.

In this case, why don't I come up with a question and the two great monks debate it together? ”

Monk Nina felt that since Emperor Chongzhen had edicted the abbot of Kuanhai into the capital and left it for reuse, his heart must be biased towards Northern Shaolin.

And the monk Yongkuan of Southern Shaolin also intends to compete with the bald donkeys of Northern Shaolin in front of Emperor Chongzhen, so as to show the ability of Southern Shaolin.

Although the two had different ideas, they thought of one place, and immediately made a noise of the Buddha's name, bowed down and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to ask the question." ”

Emperor Chongzhen coughed his throat and said, "The herdsmen of the Heavenly Dynasty are the co-masters of the world. The people break the law, and the government sanctions, but there are always some people who think that they can escape into the empty door and become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife, what is the explanation? ”

Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan both sighed in their hearts, and the secret way was not good.

Although Emperor Chongzhen's words were simple and straightforward, they directly hit the fate of Buddhism and even all other sects.

After breaking the law, he converted to the sect, and as soon as he became a monk, he escaped the investigation and arrest of the government.

But to put it more broadly, this is the power of stealing people's masters.

What do you want to do if you steal the power of your master? Rebellion?

Monk Ruxin hesitated for a while, this kind of question that is obviously a proposition is fatal no matter how you answer it.

I just thought about it, I couldn't answer, and the Yongkuan bald donkey next to me might not be able to come up, and for a while, Monk Ruxin was a little comforted - anyway, bad luck is bad luck.

After thinking about it, Monk Yongkuan bowed down and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the poor monk thinks that your majesty's words are inappropriate, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of generalizing." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The reason is not clear, it has been the case since ancient times." The great monk has something to say, but I will not blame. ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen allowed him to be innocent, Monk Yongkuan spoke: "What Your Majesty said has existed since ancient times, but Buddhism has always been a convenient door to cross the world, and there are inevitably pickled people mixed in my Buddhism. ”

Monk Ruxin was furious, you fucking said, what are you looking at Lao Tzu doing! Amitabha, sins and sins.

Monk Yongkuan ignored Monk Ruxin's expression, and then said: "If someone enters the mountain gate and asks the Buddha Gate to shave his crossing, the Buddha Gate will only refuse those who come, but it will inevitably give the lawless people a hole to exploit."

However, His Majesty is benevolent and righteous to the people, and the people are kind, after all, there are a few people who break the law, and those who slip through the net and can enter the Buddha to seek refuge are even rarer, so the poor monk said that His Majesty's words are biased. ”

Quietly glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, Monk Yongkuan continued: "Amitabha Buddha, Buddhism is quiet, although he crosses the world, he does not become an evil person.

The poor monk can assure His Majesty that after the poor monk returns to the south, all the disciples in my temple, if there are criminal records, they are advised to take the initiative to return to the case. ”

Monk Ruxin's gaze staring at Monk Yongkuan was already about to burst into flamesβ€”his mother, seeing the wind and making the rudder, right?

After secretly reciting the Buddha's horn a few times but finding that he couldn't stop the anger in his heart at all, the monk said secretly, no wonder that Buddhism also has angry eyes! A bald donkey like Yongkuan should be killed with a pestle!

After the angry monk shouted the Buddha's name, he also bowed down and said: "My Shaolin Temple, as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in the world, should lead by example. From now on, those who are not innocent will not be shaved. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "The two great monks are really profound in Buddhism, and I am very relieved, very relieved. ”

Once, King Brahma asked the Buddha Shakyamuni to speak the Dharma on the Vulture Mountain. King Brahma led the crowd to offer a golden brahma flower to the Buddha, and after a solemn salute, everyone sat aside.

The Buddha picked up a golden brahmana flower, his attitude was serene, but he didn't say a word, everyone didn't understand what it meant, only Mahakala smiled lightly.

The Buddha immediately announced: "I have the right Dharma to hide the eyes, the wonderful mind of Nirvana, the reality without appearance, the subtle method, do not set up words, do not teach outside the teaching, and give instructions to the Mahakasya." ”

This story is the beginning of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism also advocates not to set up words, to imprint the heart with the heart, and not to spread it outside the teaching.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is a step worse than the Buddha - at least he has spoken.

But after all, although this Yongkuan monk is also inferior to Mahakalpa, he can be regarded as ignoring his own meaning.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that his Buddhism was profound, although it was still inferior to the Buddha, but it was not far away.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a comfortable mood, simply spoke up again: "Buddhism is naturally good for the world, but there is only one point, but it makes me worried, I don't know if the two great monks can teach me?" ”

Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan want to say no, and then ask to kill you.

But looking at the Fang Zhenghua behind Emperor Chongzhen and those factory guard masters, the two had to give up this tempting idea, so they had to bow down and say, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen's demeanor was extremely relaxed, but the words he said were like a hammer: "Buddhism travels to the world, and everyone in the world is my people." If there is no one in the world to cross, how should I, the emperor, deal with myself? ”

Not to mention the Ruxin Monk and the Yongkuan Monk, the other monks in the hall, regardless of whether they are the monks of the North Shaolin or the South Shaolin, have already fallen to the ground - Emperor Chongzhen's words are the real punishment.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they all pay attention to crossing oneself and others, and crossing sentient beings from the boundless sea of suffering that is rolling red dust.

But after all these ordinary people have been crossed, who will pay the emperor's taxes? Who pays taxes to the emperor? Who will serve in the conscription? Who is going to serve in the army to defend the country?

Even, this question is simply raised for Buddhism - at least Taoism often has Taoist priests entering the army, and Buddhism is really only waiting for believers to make offerings.

Emperor Chongzhen's first question, if it is just a punch on the fate of Buddhism and Taoism, this time it is not as simple as a punch.

It's just a gesture of holding the knife around the neck.

As a voice of plea sounded, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Get up, get up." As I said just now, I'm just here to argue, and I don't mean anything else. ”

With everyone getting up together, the monk Ruxin said in his heart, "Your grandmother's legs!" As soon as this kind of proposition comes out, who dares to argue with you?

Since you, the dog emperor, have raised such a question, I'm afraid that the army is already under the mountain? Look at the eyes of those eagle dogs behind you who want to choose people and devour people, who dares to argue with you?

The ancestral garden of the thousand-year-old Zen sect is closed today!

Just when the Ruxin monk was in pain and secretly worried in his heart, Monk Yongkuan bowed down and shouted a Buddha name: "Amitabha Buddha." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "Monk Yongkuan has something to say?" ”

Monk Yongkuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the door of Buddhism is wide open to the door of convenience to cross the world, but the world is greedy for red dust and cannot be crossed.

Buddhism is boundless, but it cannot allow all people in the world to take refuge in Buddhism, nor can it allow everyone in the world to do good. The only way to do this is to cultivate one's own body first, and then to cross the world.

If one day you really cross the world, Your Majesty's great merits will be added, and you will definitely achieve the supreme positive result, the Golden Body Bodhisattva. ”

Well, that's a nice thing to say, I'm starting to like you bald asses.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply tore his face and said with a smile: "The world is endless, but there are also converts.

What can a convert do if he does not pay taxes, does not serve in conscription, and does not serve in the army? ”

Although the impression of Southern Shaolin in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen is higher than that of Northern Shaolin, in fact, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is as black as a crow in the world.

Or to put it mildly, the saint is unkind and uses the people as dogs.

Monk Ruxin actually felt a trace of happiness in his heart at this time - let you be forever wide bald donkey, let you talk more, now it's okay, dumbfounded!

After thinking about it, Monk Ruxin felt that since this eternal bald donkey was shameless, it was useless for him to ask for this thing, not to mention anything else, it was a serious matter to protect the ancestral court for a thousand years first.

It's just that before Monk Ruxin could speak, Monk Yongkuan had already bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I, Southern Shaolin, have never been left behind.

The Japanese rebelled against the Japanese and the chief Hu Zongxian began to use Shaolin monks. Although he does not pay taxes and does not accept forced labor, his heart to serve the country is not lost to others, and he hopes that His Majesty will know it. ”

Monk Ruxin's face had completely darkened.

This Yongkuan monk is here to smash the field today, and he is here to add blockage to North Shaolin!

There are monks and soldiers in Southern Shaolin, and there are no monks in Northern Shaolin, but the problem is that those bald asses in Southern Shaolin are on the battlefield in earnest, and Northern Shaolin is not on the ......

It's a pain in the ass.

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and then laughed again: "What Monk Yongkuan said is good, I also know about the monks and soldiers, so very good, very good." ”

Monk Ruxin simply turned his heart sideways, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, my Shaolin Temple is willing to send 100 monks and soldiers to think that I am the coach in the army, I hope Your Majesty will allow it." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "The two great monks have the heart to serve the country, I know. It's just that there will be no such thing as conscripting monks and soldiers in the future. It was not appropriate to let the monks into the army, so the matter was left at that. ”

Now Zi Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan hurt together.

What do you want to do? Monks pay taxes as one? Serving in one service?

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said: "I heard that the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin, although Shaolin is divided into north and south, but the martial arts are all of the Ming Dynasty." I heard that there are a lot of martial arts secrets in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and I want people to copy a copy to practice in the army, how about it? ”

If Emperor Chongzhen made this request at the beginning, it is estimated that he would not agree to it, regardless of whether it was a Ruxin monk or a Yongkuan monk, unless Emperor Chongzhen dared to play such a drama as burning Shaolin Temple.

But now it's not okay to disagree - let alone burn the Shaolin Temple, according to this master, it's not good to wash the Shaolin Temple in blood or even destroy the Buddha again.

After thinking about it, Monk Ruxin still bowed down and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know where you heard it?" There are some kung fu exercises in my Shaolin Temple, but most of them are scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion, and there are no martial arts secrets.

What's more, the practice of martial arts lies in boiling the muscles and bones, not overnight, and the generals and soldiers in the army may not be worse than my Shaolin kung fu. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, I heard that there are a lot of martial arts cheats in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Luohan Hall.

Especially what Yijin Sutra and the Pulp Washing Sutra are all good things, and what are the golden bell hood iron cloth shirts, ghost shadow grapplers and strong King Kong fingers?

The two great monks arranged for someone to go in and copy a copy today, and they would definitely not mess with the scriptures inside, so as not to make trouble for me in the future when they were stingy. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said that if you come to be stingy, it is for Yu Journey to the West to say that in the biography of the doom: "The scriptures can not be passed on lightly, and the same can not be taken lightly, on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, the Nine Classics Buddha went to the family of Zhao Changchun to pass on the scriptures, only to get three buckets and three liters of broken rice, according to this passage, it is difficult to become noble!" The herald must not starve to death!"

In this story, Yongkuan and Monk Ruxin don't know, they are immediately speechless, but they don't dare to make it clear that you are a mortal fetus, and the Buddha will still find trouble for you?

So when you say it, isn't it clear that you don't recognize the identity of Emperor Chongzhen's son of heaven?

The two were in a dilemma, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled again and said, "What, can the two great monks have difficulties?" If so, you can tell me directly. ”

Monk Yongkuan spoke: "The martial arts classics in our temple, I am willing to let Your Majesty send someone to copy them, but the poor monk wants to ask Your Majesty for a favor, hoping that Your Majesty will be gracious." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Although the great monk said that it is, as long as I can agree, I will not allow it." ”
