Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 36 The Defending Monk (II)
"Knock...... Knock ......"
The long bell rang, and all the people in the field quieted down, their eyes focused on the Hu monk in the middle, and the old Hu monk named Lai Xinjue Luo also slowly opened his eyes, straightened his waist, took a small breath, and then said: "Ladies Tan Yue, this monk Lai Xin Jueluo, it is reasonable!" Today this monk is talking about the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra! ”
"Oh......" The students below opened their mouths and whispered. []
"Hear that, the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra! As soon as you hear the name, you know it's not ordinary. ”
"yes, that name sounds magnificent! I've got to listen to it today. ”
"Listen, do you understand? What kind of scripture did you talk about last time, the name is only three words, you can't understand it, this time the old monk is talking about an eight-character scripture, can you understand it? ”
Zhang Wei next to him also asked in a low voice: "Childe, I understand the word 'King Kong', what is this 'Prajnaparami'?" Also, what is 'Tan Yue'? ”
"Prajnaparamita is a Tianzhu language, and this old monk can't translate it directly, so he transliterates it directly. As for 'Tan Yue', you should think that the monks call us. Adou explained.
Wait until everyone is quiet, Lai Xin. Jue Luo slowly spoke: "As I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Lonely Garden of the Guardian Country, and the Great Bhikshu ...... with 1,250 people."
"Well, it's really the Diamond Sutra." Adou sighed lightly, ". The Diamond Sutra is an important classic of Buddhism, and there have been many translations since it was transmitted to China.
"Diamond Sutra" is widely circulated in China, when a certain monk of Shaolin Temple did something wrong, he was often punished for copying the "Diamond Sutra", and in Adou's era, a dozen copper plates on the street could buy a "Diamond Sutra". Although Adou has not studied Buddhism, Adou still knows the narrative part at the beginning of the "Diamond Sutra", so Adou knew when he heard it that this was "Diamond Sutra" that Lai Xin Jueluo was talking about.
Speaking of which, this Lai Xinjueluo's Chinese is really not very good, after all, he is a Tianzhu person, he is not fluent in Chinese, and he has some yin and yang weirdness, even if Lai Xinjueluo's voice is very slow, but Adou still needs to be very careful to hear clearly.
At the beginning of this lecture, Lai Xin Jueluo still used Chinese, but. It was talked about the middle part, and in some places, Lai Xinjueluo did not translate it at all, or he could not translate it, and he directly recited the original text of Tianzhu language, and no one present could understand what Lai Xinjueluo said. But this group of "Mr. Nanguo" didn't understand, and they pretended to listen very clearly and benefited a lot, so Adou felt very funny when he saw it.
At the same time, Adou also knows why this Buddhism is mixed in Chang'an City. It's not as good as it could be.
According to Adou's account. Recall that one of the reasons why Buddhism has been able to develop so well in China is that some simple Buddhism can be understood and accepted by ordinary people. And those Chang'an students actually said that they couldn't understand, which made Adou feel very strange.
Now, Adou finally understands what the problem is.
This Lai Xinjueluo's Chinese is not very good, coupled with the incomplete translation of Buddhist scriptures, a broken Chinese sentence and a Tianzhu language, the people of the Central Plains naturally can't understand what Lai Xinjueluo is talking about.
"** There are no translations, and they still come to pass on the scriptures, so they deserve to be understood by others......" Adou shook his head slightly, for Buddhism, Adou was not interested in Buddhism, and this "Diamond Sutra", Adou has also heard it, and it is still translated, there is no need to listen to Lai Xinjueluo here to say this kind of semi-finished product, so Adou got up and prepared to leave.
Originally, everyone was sitting, and even those who were standing were standing against the wall. So when Adou got up, he immediately stood out like a flock and attracted everyone's attention.
"Huh......" Everyone's eyes swept to Adou, naturally including the Hu monk Lai Xinjueluo.
Lai Xin Jueluo is a high monk in Tianzhu, among the monks in Chang'an, Lai Xin Jueluo's understanding of Buddhism is among the top three, so the temple will arrange Lai Xin Jueluo to give a lecture. And Lai Xinjueluo did not preach for a long time each time, at most for half an hour.
In this way, Chang'an students come in a cluster of elegance, and half an hour is not much, they will listen to it before leaving, even if there is an internal urgency or something, it will only appear after talking about most of it, but like today, some people left at the beginning of the talk, and it was still two, Lai Xinjue Luo was the first time to meet.
If Adou and the two of them sat in the back, it would not be very conspicuous to get up and leave the seat, but Adou was sitting in the first row, and everyone could see it, so Adou got up and was about to leave, and Lai Xinjueluo's face was a little unbearable.
Lai Xinjue Luo suddenly stopped, and then asked Adou: "This Tan Yue, this monk just started speaking, why did he leave?" ”
"En......" Adou was slightly stunned, then hesitated for a moment, and said: "The master said very well, but there is something to do, so I have to leave first." ”
For this old monk, although Adou can't talk about liking it, he can't talk about disgust. After all, people have come all the way from Tianzhu, not to mention the difficult and dangerous journey, the distance alone is similar to that of the Tang monk who learned the scriptures, and this kind of perseverance and spirit alone is worthy of Adou's respect. So Adou is embarrassed to say that he doesn't understand what others say.
"Hmph, when you came in just now, you weren't in a hurry at all, you obviously didn't like my master's lectures." A young monk next to him spoke in fluent Chinese.
Adou looked back, the young monk who spoke looked like a Han man, and judging from his Qindi accent, this young monk should be a disciple of Nalai Xinjueluo in Yongzhou.
"Shanny!" Lai Xinjue Luo glared at the young monk, and his face showed a hint of fierceness.
"Master, it was originally true, this person didn't understand the profound Buddhist teachings you taught, so he had to leave." The young monk who was called Shakuni continued.
"Oh, so that's the case, looking at this kid's polite appearance, I thought he was quite literate, but it turned out that he was just a promiscuous!"
"I can't see it, seeing that he is dressed well, how can he emulate this Mr. Nanguo's actions!"
The scribes below began to talk about it.
This time, the fire in Adou's heart is up, if the people present are all high-ranking monks, Adou will listen, but the people present don't understand, I didn't expect to be said by such a group of Mr. Nan Guo today that he came to make up for it, and he can't afford to lose face.
"Hmph......" Adou snorted coldly, using a few percent of his internal force, the eardrums of the people around him shook, and he only felt dizzy, and stopped talking.
"Your name is Shani, isn't it?" Adou said.
"Yes, this monk is Shi Ni, a disciple of Master Lai Xinjueluo."
"Then how long have you been in Buddhism?" Adou then asked.
"More than three years!" Shani cocked his head proudly.
"Since this is the case, then you must be very proficient in ** Buddha's will?" Adou asked again.
"No! It's just a small success! Although he said this, the trace of pride in his eyes was unmistakable.
"Okay, then I'll test you?" Adou smiled slightly, and pointed to a large incense burner next to Lai Xinjueluo, the incense in the incense burner was burning, and the little green smoke turned into a filament, like a coiled dragon rising.
"Shani, you're watching!" Adou waved his hand, and a gust of palm wind flew by, and the green smoke that was originally slowly rising suddenly seemed to be deflected when it met Adou's palm wind.
Adou smiled slightly and asked, "Shani, what did you see just now?" ”
Shi Ni looked at Adou like a fool, and then said: "I didn't think that Tan Yue's eyes are not good, since this is the case, this monk told Tan Yue that the smoke just now moved!" ”
"Then why did this green smoke move?"
"Of course it's your palm!"
"So there was no wind here, and it was my palm wind that made the green smoke move, didn't it?" Adou asked again.
"Needless to say!"
"Yes, there is no wind here, if there is no wind in my palm, this green smoke will not move, so it should be the wind, not the smoke...... Shanny, don't you say? Adou asked with a smile.
"This ......," Shine was speechless. After a long time, Shani blushed and said, "Even if you are right, it is the wind, not the smoke!" ”
"Shanny, you're wrong again! This wind is invisible, can't be seen, can't be touched, and the green smoke is tangible, dare to ask this invisible thing, how can it be used to stimulate this tangible thing? ”
"Ah, this ......" Shani was once again dumbfounded by Adou's question.
At this time, Lai Xinjueluo next to him suddenly stood up.
Lai Xinjueluo didn't stop Shi Ni before, more or less because he wanted to use Shi Ni to punish Adou with a small punishment, but he didn't expect that Shi Ni was stumped.
Lai Xinjue Luo waved at Adou slightly, and said: "Then dare to ask this Tan Yue, was it the wind or the smoke just now?" ”
"It's not the wind, it's not the smoke...... Adou replied slowly.
"What's that?"
"It's exciting!"
"Heartbeat?" Lai Xinjue Luo was slightly stunned, and then suddenly understood that this "heartbeat" contained the great truth of Buddhism.
"Good, good! I didn't expect that Tan Yue's words contained such a profound Buddhist principle, and the monk admired it! A smile appeared on Lai Xinjueluo's face. But at this time, Lai Xinjue Luo was more convinced that Adou was blinded just now.
"Ahem...... Lai Xinjue Luo coughed lightly: "This Tan Yue, I don't know why you came here today?" ”
"Just curious!" Adou is telling the truth. Adou is not interested in these monks at all, and if he wants to say that he admires the master's talents, or is interested in Buddhism, it is false.
"Our Buddhism pays attention to the word 'fate', since Tan Yue you came, it is related to my Buddhism, and I see Tan Yue you have a very high understanding, quite a wisdom root, it is better to escape into my Buddhism, this monk is willing to comprehend the Buddha's will throughout his life, poured into each other......"
"Bold! Let our son become a monk! Before Adou could speak, Zhang Wei jumped out first.
Although Zhang Wei is a martial artist, he also knows that when a monk can't marry a daughter-in-law, just this point, it can be said that the old monk is very rebellious.
"If this Tan Yue is unwilling to become a monk and escapes into the empty door, this monk can make an exception and accept him as a registered disciple, how about it?"
Adou shook his head, although he didn't mean to make trouble today, but if he worshipped this monk as a teacher, he would also weaken his momentum, and he could even get that Adou was an authentic martial artist, and he worshipped the second brother of the Jade Emperor Sanqingguan and the ancestor master, how could he switch to Buddhism.
"Master Lai Xinjueluo, you also said just now, this Buddhism pays attention to the word 'fate', and now that this fate has not arrived, why should the master force it?" Adou said.
Lai Xinjue Luo was slightly stunned, since he came to Middle Earth, except for those monks, there are basically few people in the Central Plains who tell him things related to Buddhism, even if there are people who ask for advice from themselves, they ask about things that are not in the right mouth. Unexpectedly, I met this young man today, and he spoke quite Buddhaly.
"This Tan Yue, what you just said contains deep Buddhist principles, just by spelling this, you have a fate with my Buddha."
This old monk is really thick-skinned! However, if you dare to come all the way from Tianzhu to the Central Plains to preach, I am afraid that there is no thin-skinned person. Adou thought to himself.
"Master, you keep saying that you are willing to take me as an apprentice, I don't know what you can teach me?"
"This monk has studied Buddhism for decades, although it cannot be a great achievement, but it is also quite proficient, looking at the middle of the earth, this monk's Buddhism, can be ranked in the top five." Lai Xinjue Luo said.
In this era, more than 95 percent of the monks in the Central Plains came from other places to learn the original Indian Buddhism. What's more, since they dare to come out to preach, they must be people who are very persistent in Buddhism, and this kind of person's understanding of Buddhism is far above that of ordinary monks. It can be said that although the number of these monks who preached in the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period was not large, they were all elite of Buddhism.
And this Lai Xin Jueluo dared to say that he could rank in the top five among the monks in the Central Plains, it can be seen that his understanding of Buddhism has definitely reached a very deep point, and Adou did not study Buddhism in his previous life, and it is okay to fool and fool people like Shani, if he debates Buddhism with Lai Xinjueluo, a hundred Adou is not an opponent.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Adou's mind, and in the Central Plains of later generations, Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism fought for many years, and it was not until the rise of Zen Buddhism in China that Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism tended to be unified. If this problem is moved to the Three Kingdoms, this Lai Xinjue Luo will definitely not be able to solve it.
So Adou opened his mouth and asked: "Master, I heard that the Buddha is destined to be a person, and everyone can become a Buddha?" Can this be the reason? ”
"That's right!" Lai Xinjue Luo nodded approvingly.
"Then the master came to my Central Plains to cross people to become a Buddha?" Adou asked.
"Buddhahood? How difficult! You need to have a great heart for the Buddha! Lai Xinjue Luo said.
"So, master, you haven't become a Buddha yet?"
"This monk has not become a Buddha, but this monk believes that as long as the heart is towards my Buddha, there will always be a day when I will achieve positive results."
"Then dare to ask the master, should you cross yourself first, or cross others first?"
"Well, what about this......" Lai Xinjueluo was stunned again.
If you answer that you will cross yourself first and then cross others, then Lai Xinjueluo himself has not yet become a Buddha, that is to say, he has not yet crossed into a Buddha, so how can he cross others to become a Buddha!
And if you answer that you will cross others first and then yourself, then you have not yet crossed into a Buddha, so you will cross others to become a Buddha, how can others believe it!
At this moment, a trace of doubt also rose in Lai Xinjueluo's heart, whether he should cross himself first or others first.
The reason why Lai Xinjue Luo is so enthusiastic about preaching Buddhism is to accumulate more merits and achieve positive results as soon as possible. In this way, it should be to cross oneself first and become a Buddha.
However, it is because Lai Xinjue Luo did not become a Buddha, so he needs to accumulate merit, and if he does not cross the person first, the merit is not enough, how can he cross the Buddha to become a Buddha, so that he should cross the person first to become a Buddha.
"Hehehehe, master, when you figure out whether to cross yourself first or others first, let's talk about apprenticeship!" Adou smiled slightly, turned around and walked out, leaving Lai Xinjue Luo himself in deep contemplation there.
The people around involuntarily made a way for Adou, although the vast majority of people do not understand Buddhism, Adou and Lai Xinjueluo said these great truths, many people are also difficult to understand, but fools can see that this young man stumped this master Lai Xinjueluo.
A middle-aged man poked the fat scribe next to him and asked, "Hey, what is the origin of this young man, he has stumped Master Lai Xinjueluo!" ”
"I don't know." The fat scribe shook his head.
"I saw that young man came in with you just now, how could you not know him!"
Only then did the fat scribe remember that this young man was the same young man who had just asked him to give a lecture on the scriptures. I didn't expect that although this person looked young, his ability was so great that he could stump Monk Hu.
Thinking of this, the fat scribe straightened his waist violently and said, "I'll tell you, this person is my friend......
Immediately afterward, the fat scribe began to brag quietly. Others, on the other hand, looked at the fat scribe with envy, envying the fat scribe for having such a powerful friend.
Just as Adou walked out of the courtyard gate, there was a sudden shout outside: "Quick, get out of the way...... Hurry up and get out of the way! ”
Immediately afterwards, three people came, two bald and thick robes next to them, and they knew that they were monks at a glance, and there was a person between the two monks, who was half-bowed and closed his eyes, and looked like he had fainted, and the dust on his body made him look very embarrassed.
"Zhang Wei, look, do you feel that the person who fainted in the middle is a little familiar?" Adou asked.
"Familiar?" Zhang Wei looked at it carefully, and then said, "Childe, I haven't seen him." ”
"I see his face is familiar! No, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere! Let's go, go up and have a look! Adou said and walked over.
