This young monk is the abbot of the monastery, and his Dharma name is Zanruo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just now, he led the monks to chant in front of the wall, and he didn't feel anything, but when he walked over, everyone couldn't help but marvel.

This host is really young.

It seems that Zan Ruo is in his early thirties and less than forty years old, and he is the master of the courtyard at such an age, which can be called young and promising.

Even if this temple is not big and located in a remote area, there are twenty or thirty monks and novices in the temple, which can stand out, which shows that the host is outstanding in Buddhism, can maintain the life of so many people, and the operation of the temple should also have something unique in management. Coupled with the background of this monk, it is self-reliant.

Hearing the greetings, the monks folded their hands in return, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, but look at your appearance, and you have made some progress in Buddhism." ”

"Prajna is like the sea, you can't talk about diligence," the host of Nazanruo shook his head, his tone was sincere, not modest, but sincere, "You are coming with the teacher of Mingfa, you are a famous person who went north to discuss the Tao, are you here to worship the Buddha?" ”

He knew something about the origin of everyone, but when he thought about it, he understood, Chen Zhi had come in advance, and it was not surprising that the news of Xingtan's discussion came out, and with the situation of Zanruo, even if he received an invitation from Qingzhou, it would not be surprising.

When they changed their minds, Zanruo monk had already taken the lead and said: "I look at a few people, and they are also very interested in this sentence left by Master Chen, so we can talk about it." ”

When Xun Zhe and the others heard this, they went over to salute one by one, and then Xun Zhe asked a little impatiently: "Is there any talk between the master and Chen Zhi, and what is the mystery in the words he left in the end?" ”

"No," Zanruo shook his head, and everyone was stunned, thinking that the little novice was hiding something, or it was all a lie, and then he heard Zanruo say: "What Chen Shizhu said is not the existence of scriptures and famous teachings, but the 'knowledge' of my Buddhism." ”

"Huh?"

This answer stunned everyone.

Sun Min found it interesting, pointed to the words left on the wall, and asked, "Then how do you explain this?" Doing nothing is promising, obvious Taoist words. ”

Zanruo monk still shook his head, and said: "The inaction and promisingness of this word is not the point, the ignorance and omniscience in front is the key, Chen Shizhu has comprehended the mystery of ignorance and omniscience, and knows that if you are ignorant, you can see the truth of heaven and earth." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, especially Na Wei Ou was even more surprised, he knew very well that during Chen Zhi's time in Pengcheng, he had never shown a tendency towards Buddhism, let alone comprehended any Buddhist mysteries.

"When I was in Pengcheng, I heard a lot of rumors, saying that Chen Zhi had studied the farmer, wrote calligraphy, talked about Legalism, talked about scriptures, Confucianism, and even dabbled in the art of Mohist, but I didn't hear him study Buddhism, and from some details, Chen Zhi has no inclination towards Buddhism. There's definitely something wrong with that! ”

There are many people who have the same idea as him, but only Sun Min asked directly.

"Is this what Chen Zhi said?" Sun Min had a smile on his face, "He just used Taoist words to annotate Buddhism?" ”

Zanruo Seng was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Chen Shizhu himself did not mean this, according to him, he used Buddhist language as a commentary to explain the words of Taoism. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other and felt more and more bizarre.

According to the previous words of this monk, everyone thought that Chen Zhi used Taoist words to annotate the words of Buddhism, which had the flavor of spreading Buddhism through the articles of Middle-earth; But when Sun Min asked, everyone suddenly realized that the facts were fundamentally reversed, it was Chen Zhi who used Buddhist sentences to expound the spirit of Taoism, which was clearly the art of debate, and it was Chen Zhi who used the opponent's weapon to express his own ideas in the debate with the Buddhist people, and attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son.

As a result, when Chen Zhi left, the host was ashamed to distort his willingness, but when he was asked, he told the truth.

Zanruo monk was not ashamed, and said: "Chen Shizhu Buddha nature is profound, but he is not aware of it, and the realm of 'ignorance and omniscience' he said is higher than the realm of Xunzi's 'void and quiet', and he is really an enlightened person without a heart." ”

When everyone heard this, they understood that they dared to love this person who regarded Chen Zhi as a Buddha nature, and then gave a judgment, the key is that he was convinced of his own judgment, so he was justified, which was a manifestation of extreme belief in the faith in his heart.

Sun Min smiled and said: "Master's words are not authentic, you are here to promote the Dharma, and you do not hesitate to use Chen Zhi's words to prove your point of view, you are so optimistic about Chen Zhi?" ”

As soon as he said his words, others reacted.

Yes!

Chen Zhi said a word, which was misinterpreted by this monk and used to prove the words of Buddhism, but the question is that Chen Zhi's words must be right? Unless, to a certain extent, the words of Chen Zhi can represent some kind of authority.

As soon as this line of thought was straightened out, everyone's expressions became strange.

Praise Ruo Seng did not care, against the Ming monk said: "Master Ming, Chen Shizhu is a person with great wisdom, if you can enter my Buddhism, you will be able to spread the Dharma, I have asked clearly, he has not yet married, maybe he has long had the heart of the dust, did not prevent the southwest Taoism from taking advantage of the void, when the early inquiry is good, fortunately, the teacher went north to Qingzhou, and there is a chance to meet Chen Shizhu, you may wish to ask." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze in the wind, and their perception of Chen Zhi became complicated, and he left a sentence that made the monk worry about it, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

The most embarrassing thing was the monk Mingfa, he just smiled, did not answer, followed the conversation, and talked about Buddhism.

Suddenly, Zanruo monk came to be interested, and pulled a few people to the main hall to talk about Buddhism.

It is said that it is the main hall, but the mountain is simple, and the size is like the main hall of a large family, a few people are sitting on the futon, talking and talking, and then go back to Chen Zhi, talking around that sentence.

Soon, the people who could answer the conversation were Cao Qing, Sun Min, and Xun Zhe, and the monk Ming was silent, giving people an unfathomable feeling, but looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was thinking.

………………

On the other side, Chen Zhi's motorcade passed through two more towns and approached Wuyuan County, where several of his peers were gathering in Chen Zhi's carriage to talk about what they had seen and heard in the past two days.

But the scene around Pengcheng is nothing new to Liu Gang, and it is not attractive to Lu Ying, Tao Ya, and Zhao Xing, so after saying a few words about the customs and customs, the topic turned to the conversation between Chen Zhi and the temple host that day.

"Brother Chen, what you mean by discussing with that great monk in the temple, I haven't understood it for a long time." Liu Gang has the lowest rural quality among all the people, and he is relatively the least burdened, and he has no scruples when he asks.

As soon as he asked this question, everyone's attention was focused.

In the temple that day, the dialogue between Chen Zhi and Zanruo monk sounded quite wonderful, and it was difficult for people to think about it or not.

Chen Zhi listened, laughed, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, that Venerable Zanruo's words really reflect his view of the world, and the Dharma he has studied is unique, but because he is the host, there are deviations, and there are some things that are difficult to get rid of. ”

Tao Yaqi said: "What is the deviation?" Could it be that as a host, it will also affect the enlightenment of the Dharma? ”

Chen Zhi said: "Buddhism is a thought, a way of thinking, and even a certain spirit, but the temple is an organization, a kind of entity, with the entity to spread the spirit, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions, for example, praise the monk advocates that all things are empty, but as the host, but also obsessed with the worship of the Buddha, is it that everything is empty, but the Buddha statue is real? I'm just making that point, there's nothing complicated about it. ”

"That's it?" Liu Gang was very surprised.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "That's it, Buddhism and temples can't be generalized, just like the spirit of a hundred schools and academies. Many academies originate from the same classics and eventually develop different ideas, because the classics carry the spirit, while the seowon is an organization composed of people, and the difference in people's understanding of the classics is the crux of the problem. ”

"I seem to understand a little bit." Liu Gang nodded, and the other people in the car also breathed a sigh of relief and fell into deep thought.

Chen Zhi looked at everyone and didn't say much, he clearly knew that Zanruo's thought was a kind of idealistic thought, and the pursuit was logical self-consistency, but in fact, he couldn't say much, otherwise it would be easy to think confused.

At this time, Na Chen came over to inform everyone, saying that there was Wang Xi from Wuyuan County, who led five riders to greet him.

"Brother Wang has a heart." When Chen Zhi heard this, he got out of the car with a smile, ready to meet his old friend, and the people in the car were still thinking about the meaning of Chen Zhi's words.

"Isn't the difference between the same texts and different propositions caused by the commentaries on the texts? If the same sentence is broken and understood differently, and the commentary is biased, different propositions will be born. ”

………………

A few hours later, the monks and others who visited the mountain temple went down the mountain after a difficult mountain road.

"That Chen Zhi is to use Taoist remarks, to the people of the Buddhists, this is a debate technique, no matter how you think about it, it is the willingness of Nazan Ruo monk to misinterpret Chen Zhi......"

On the way, Cao Qing suddenly said such a thing, and he was thinking about it all the way.

Xun frowned, shook his head and said: "You can't say that, you also listened to Master Zanruo's explanation of that sentence, it is very clear, it is an explanation in the Prajna Sutra, and Chen Zhi's words are also in line with the scriptures." ”

Sun Min laughed.

Xun Zhen turned his head and asked, "Brother Sun, what are you laughing at?" ”

Sun Mi said: "I'm laughing, the monk in the temple unknowingly made a note on Chen Zhi's sentence, but the meaning of this commentary is explained by the Buddha's proposition, and now, you are here again, discussing the meaning of the commentary." ”

Cao Qing also smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Senior brother is right, but I don't know what Chen Zhi originally meant, what it is." ”

While talking, the people with complicated emotions returned to Xiekou Town, and after a night, they set off again early the next morning, and arrived in Wuyuan County two days later.

However, before they entered the city, they noticed that there was something strange about the city, and there were many people coming and going, and they were in a hurry.
