Chapter 279: The Essence of Buddhism
Li Yi knew that the Yunzhang he was talking about must be one of the four great talents of the Han Dynasty who was as famous as Li Yi, Liang Song, and Jian Wenhui, and last year's champion Zhong Yunzhang was undoubtedly there. People didn't recruit him and didn't mess with him, and he was also pulled over to pad his back, this monk is too unkind!
Li Yi had the heart to ridicule him a few more words, but he didn't expect him to sigh and say, "Alas! I didn't expect that we, a poor monk who couldn't even afford to wear cotton clothes, also had people think about it from time to time. That's it! If you come here, you will be safe, aren't you just a few dozen mouths?
The little monk is to smash the pot and sell iron, and he has to wait for the donors, and some people in the province slander them behind their backs, ruining the reputation of our monks. Let's go, go to the little monk's meditation room, I don't believe you can make me rich. ”
Li Yi couldn't help but smile wryly, where is this! Is there such a chic monk in the poor monk? can't even afford to wear cotton clothes, isn't this a disguised irony that he has kept his promise and can't deliver cotton clothes for a long time? It seems that this monk is the master who will repay him.
Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and beckoned Lian Jun to bring the burden containing the two cotton robes.
With a smile, he handed it to the hand of the intellectual monk, and said apologetically: "Master of Knowledge, these two cotton robes are like sewing by hand, she asked me to hand them over to you by hand, but I am busy with everything, delayed for some days, and please master Mo strange!" ”
Zhihe still took the burden in his hand with a spring breeze on his face, checked it with care, and suddenly sighed and muttered: "Cotton robe! Cotton robe, why are you late! I've been around the brazier all day, and I've never even been out of the door, and if you come a few days late, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make it through this year. ”
Hearing Zhihe Shang's swaggering self-talk, Li Yi's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and goosebumps fell all over his body.
Oh my God! What kind of monk is this! Do corrupt people use this trick? This monk is so superb, it is not enough to describe it with the game world, cynicism, and even the great rebellion, this person is so deep in the city, high in the Tao, and thick in the skin, it is really the only one that is not in the world.
Li Yi cried out sadly from the bottom of his heart, with him, what is the use of us mediocre talents living in this world. Alas! What a shame!
Seeing Li Yi's face change, Zhihe Shang couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead, and said in surprise: "Brother! In such a cold weather, why did you sweat so much, it couldn't be a combination of cold and heat, and you had malaria! For the sake of the cotton robe, I will save you no matter what. ”
As he spoke, Li Yifen couldn't help but say, and pulled him to go straight to the Zen courtyard behind the temple, and everyone had to follow him.
Sitting next to the brazier in the meditation room, Li Yi had just woken up from his daze, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw that on the pineapple wooden round table in the middle of the inner room, several little monks were arranging plates and plates, and it seemed that they were going to have a big feast.
Although he said that he had been ridiculed for half a day, he was still haunted in his heart, but seeing others entertaining him with such sincerity, he also felt a little comforted. How to say that old friends are coming, and hospitality should also be deserved.
But what shocked Li Yi was that a little monk who had just entered the door walked in with a plate of beef, followed by some mutton and radish soup, shredded chicken mushrooms, pork ribs and other meat products, and the price of running water was brought up.
Li Yi stared at these meat dishes on the table in a daze, and then looked at the smiling intellectuality next to him, and said, "Master, I see... I think that's a bit out of place! Monks don't eat meat, let's follow the customs, or... Or is it better to have some vegetarian dishes, you say? ”
Zhihe Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and an imperceptible look flashed in his eyes, and then he stared at Li Yi's eyes with blazing eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Runzhi!" I see how much you've changed now! I think that back then, we were staggered, drenched in wine and meat, and suddenly in the market, mountains and rivers, no matter what the rules and precepts of Buddhism. And I haven't had this taboo all along, have you forgotten it? ”
Li Yi's heart shook violently, no, I made mistakes again and again in front of him, didn't it arouse his suspicion? The original champion Li Yi must have talked to him about everything, drank and was happy, lingering between mountains and streams every day, wandering in the market and wine wells, if he didn't even understand his food and behavior, wouldn't it be too much to say? Now that he has doubts in his heart, how can he make up for this flaw?
Thinking of this, Li Yi had an idea, this guy is sharp-toothed, he is a well-known monk in Nanhua Temple, there are great monks such as Rumin and Wen Yan, and he is definitely not allowed to drink wine and eat meat in the temple, so he can only eat when he gathers with friends outside. Now that he is in the temple, how can he not have any scruples. Pressing him with this may still be useful.
Li Yi said to the intellectuals and monks in a serious manner: "This is the holy land of Buddhism, there are many people mixed with us, and it is inappropriate for Tang to break in, how dare you touch meat in front of the Buddha." Behold! You just remove these meat dishes and replace them with some vegetarian dishes. ”
As soon as Li Yi's words fell, Zhihe Shang shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face, and said angrily: "Runzhi's words are great! You only know one thing, but you don't know the other! ”
"I think that the Buddha made a grand wish under the Bodhi tree, praying that the people of the world would be free from the sea of suffering and reborn in the Western Elysium. The original intention is also to educate people to cherish the body, love their compatriots, and love the world, and classify the genus of animals and ants into the six realms of reincarnation. ”
Moreover, the Buddha never warned the world not to harm animals and ants, and it was later generations who misinterpreted the original intention of the Buddha, made up false speculations, and extended the intention of forbidding the killing of the world to the genus of animals and ants. We follow the Buddha's wishes, as long as we don't kill in vain, we are already in line with the essence of Buddhism, so why should we be sympathetic to the six beasts? ”
"Besides, the little monk master and master are people of great wisdom and wisdom, and they have never forbade our disciples not to eat meat, let alone forbid us to slaughter livestock and trample on ants, these are all things that Runzhi knew very well before, why do you accuse the little monk today?"
Hearing this, Li Yi was suddenly speechless.
In the face of the champion Li Yi's extremely shrewd Buddhist friend, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but I am afraid that he will accidentally show his feet, who knows, after thousands of calculations, there is still such a big mistake.
