Neng'er looked at the old man and hurriedly stepped forward: "Old man, the younger generation sells firewood and comes here, and occasionally listens to your chanting, and his heart suddenly opens, so that he forgets his feelings and fails to leave, please forgive the old man." Old man, what sutra did you just recite? ”

When the old man heard Neng'er say that he forgot his feelings, his heart suddenly opened, he was taken aback, and he couldn't help but look at Neng'er carefully. Although he is a shabby mountain woodcutter, he is extraordinary, and has a detached and inactive temperament, which is by no means comparable to ordinary mountain woodcutters.

"Young man, what I just recited is the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra", also known as the "Diamond Sutra", which I invited three years ago at the Dongshan Zen Temple in Huangmei. This sutra is the reality of the state, the absence of the aspect is the sect, the absence of dwelling is the body, and the wonder is useful. Its righteousness is subtle, and it can open up people's great wisdom, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand its righteousness, can you really understand this scripture and comprehend its meaning? ”

"Yes, this sutra is to make people understand the insight, the two sentences of 'should have no place to live, but give birth to its heart', that is, neither there is, nor nothing, the reality has no appearance, does not take both ends, walks in the middle way, the separation is the true heart, and the separation is the truth."

When the old man heard that Neng'er could tell the righteousness of this scripture, he was stunned. "Young man, please forgive the old and stupid fools, and the unwise are ashamed! The old decay has been chanting for several years, and you have not developed wisdom, but you can understand it at a glance, which is really extraordinary, and it is really the envy of the old decay. Your wisdom roots are so deep, why don't you go out of your home to cultivate the Tao, but you cut wood in this mountain wilderness? Isn't that a pity? ”

Then, the old man said: "Tell you, there are eight kinds of regrets in this world, regret when you don't learn from your teacher, regret if you don't make friends with virtuous people, regret if you don't lose your filial piety, regret if you don't see righteousness, regret if you don't save yourself when you see danger, regret if you don't give up your wealth, regret if you don't believe in karma, regret if you don't practice Buddhism and die, you have to grasp the cause as soon as possible!" It is not easy to be reborn once, and it is even more difficult to smell the Dharma, you must know that 'the human body is rare and has been obtained now, the Dharma is difficult to smell and has been heard now, this body is not to this life, but to what life is this body', if you do not practice the Buddha's way, you will get rid of life and death, and you will regret it when impermanence comes! Master Hongren, the abbot of Dongshan Zen Temple in Huangmei, is a generation of grandmasters who received the mantle of Mo, and the person who passed on the Buddha's heart seal, and his understanding is quite high. He has more than 1,000 disciples who study the Dharma with him, and he often teaches his disciples to worship and receive the Diamond Sutra, so that they can realize the Buddha's heart seal and become a Buddha after a long time. Your Huigen is so good, why don't you go to Huangmei Dongshan to pay homage to the Five Ancestors and learn Buddhism? Let me tell you that learning Buddhism is the highest enjoyment in life, and you should not miss the opportunity! ”

When Neng'er heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't wait to go to Huangmei Dongshan Temple to learn Buddhism. But when I thought that the old lady at home had no one to support, my heart cooled down, and I immediately looked at the old man deeply: "Thank you for the old man's guidance, but the younger generation is poor, and there is a widowed old lady in the hall, if I go to seek the law at this time, the old lady will have no one to support, how can a son of man not pay attention to filial piety?" If I abandon my mother's widowhood and ignore it, the karma will not be successful, even if it is forced, there will be inappropriateness, and I will only wait for the old lady to walk this road after a hundred years. ”

"Do you still have a widowed old lady?"

"Yes, the younger generation has neither brothers nor sisters, if I go to seek the Dharma at this time, the lonely and helpless old lady will not be able to survive, how can a son of man not pay attention to filial piety?"

"What is said is that the Buddha also attaches the most importance to filial piety, but the cultivation should be done as soon as possible, especially in today's great good knowledge, such as the five ancestors, I am afraid that Kuang Shixi has. You have such wisdom and filial piety, which is really admired by the old decay. There is a way to give a sword to a strong man, a red powder to a beautiful woman, and the old man is willing to give up this dreamy empty money today to help you achieve the supreme Bodhi Dao, you wait. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he took out a piece of silver, held it in both hands and handed it to Neng'er: "Young man, this is ten taels of silver, you take it back, and after arranging the housework, you will immediately go to Huangmei to seek the law." ”

This old man is really generous, he is really generous, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, if you do a small business, you can open a shop in four or five taels, let alone ten taels! This shows that the old man admires the wisdom and conduct of Neng'er so much, which shows that his support and cultivation of talents are also thought-provoking.

But how dare you accept such a large amount: "Old man, thank you for your kindness and help, but I don't know you before, how dare you break the bank, and I can't accept this silver by your great kindness." ”

"Young man, money is something outside the body, you can't bring it in life, you can't take it with you in death, I use it to help you learn the great cause of the Buddha, and I can also benefit from it!" That means that if you become a Buddha, I will also make merit for it.

"Young man, you are using this money to cultivate the Tao, to cultivate, to save sentient beings, and not for your own private affairs, so why should you distinguish between each other? If you can afford to look down on the old decay, bring this money with you, if you are afraid that the old decay is stupid and mediocre, and you are afraid that the old decay will trouble you in the future, then you will not accept it. ”

When Neng'er saw that the old man was so sincere, he said everything to this point, but he felt that it was disrespectful, but he was ashamed to accept it. He was very embarrassed to take the silver tael and looked deeply at the old man.

Bodhi is a high degree of consciousness and a high degree of wisdom. Neng'er informed the old man who gave the silver his name, and asked the old man for his name and residence, saying that he was determined to share it with the old man in the future.

The old man smiled at him: "Young man, it turns out that your name is Lu Huineng, and I tell you that the old man does not ask for the person's name and residence, nor does he tell him his place of residence and name, and he does not want the other party to reciprocate. The old man respects your wisdom and cherishes you as a rare talent, so he gives you two silver to help you seek the law and the way. If, after today, the old man will not be able to remember you as a person and today's events, why should you take this matter to heart? Hurry back and arrange your family affairs and enter the Buddha as soon as possible to seek the Dharma! If you can find the Great Dao, purify the crowd, and pull out all sentient beings from destruction, it will be the best reward for me. ”

Neng'er was moved to tears by An Daocheng's high wind and bright festival: "Old man, since you are so sincere, the younger generation will go home first to ask for the opinion of his mother, and Huineng will say goodbye." ”

"Good! It's not too early, and the old decay will no longer delay your time, lest your old lady be in a hurry at home. ”

"When Brother Aneng got home, did he tell you about it?" When Liang Yulian heard this, she looked at Li and asked impatiently.

"That's it. You don't have to be in a hurry, the night is long, and you listen to your aunt speak slowly. ”

"Good. Auntie, you rest first, and I'll go out and get a cup of hot tea to moisten your mouth. Liang Yulian went out to the hall and heard that Huineng was explaining to her father and brother in the yard the cultivation techniques of rice planting in paddy fields.

Li took the hot tea, a fragrance overflowed and refreshed people's hearts, took two sips, and suddenly felt refreshed and fragrant. "Where did you buy such good tea?"

This tea is Liang Yulian's proud work. Once, she and Huineng were picking mountain herbs on the mountain, and inadvertently tripped over a mountain vine, and after Huineng helped her up, he said to her: "This is a wild ginseng vine, dig it back and dry it into flakes, it is a good wild ginseng tea, and drinking it can refresh your mind and quench your thirst." ”

Afterwards, Liang Yulian made a lot of wild ginseng tea according to the method instructed by Huineng, and after her father and brother drank it, they also praised "good tea!" "I'm addicted.

Liang Yulian heard Li's praise of "good tea", and her face showed a smug look, "This is wild ginseng tea dug from the mountains, drinking it can refresh your mind and quench your thirst." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be dug from the mountain, Tianlu Mountain is really a treasure mountain!" After Li praised Tianlu Mountain, he couldn't help but pick up the cup of hot tea, take a few sips, then put down the cup, and then talked about what happened after Huineng returned home:

Neng'er is a well-known filial son.

Huineng walked home on the mountain trail, thinking that he was going to go out to seek Buddha, leaving his mother alone at home, and his heart was very uncomfortable. But the desire to throw himself into Buddhism is like a blazing fire. It scorched his heart.

When she got home, Neng'er told me about the day.

I suddenly heard Neng'er say this, and a sad cloud shook on my face. At that time, I said: "Neng'er, the Lu family has been down for generations, and now you have survived this single seedling." I still count on you to pass on the lineage and continue the Lu family tree, so that the Bandai cigarettes will continue. You're going to have to think about it!"

Neng'er replied, "Mother, I've thought twice about it. For the continuation of the Lu family's lineage, if viewed from the perspective of the four seas, it is only a mere scope. If I have to enter the empty door and practice hard, he will achieve positive results one day, and in this way, the inheritance will be thousands, and this is the real Wandai cigarette!"
