Chapter 140: Epiphany is Great Wisdom (Part I)
After listening to Du Wei's description of the black-faced "Seven Ancestors" next to the statue of the Six Patriarchs, Du Fu looked at the black-faced "Seven Ancestors" Divine Meeting sitting next to the statue of the Six Patriarchs.
Pushing open the heavy door of history, through time and space, the bell of Zen culture lingers in this famous mountain and famous temple.
Guoen Temple is built on the mountain, the scale is large, the layout is strict, the buildings are connected as a whole, and it is faintly in the valley and dense forest of Longshan...... The majestic Longshan Mountain, with its static solemnity to curb the pursuit of lust, symbolizes the regeneration and baptism of the human soul with its zen machine of loud voice.
Du Fu and they quietly savored the Zen in the air in every side of the place.
The long history, some of which are not recorded in the history books, and the profound Zen culture is sometimes inadvertently understood.
In the Hall of the Six Ancestors, Du Fu, Du Wei, and Zhang Cambodia burned three pillars of high incense, and pious in front of the Six Ancestors reverently performed a "three kneels and nine knocks" ceremony, after getting up, Zhang Cambodia lit a cigarette and took a puff, letting his thoughts fly.
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the Six Ancestor Masters sitting on the top of the hall were actually closed. In an instant, Zhang Cambodia was shocked by this discovery, and it also triggered infinite thinking.
Isn't it the Sixth Patriarch Master who hinted at the heavenly opportunity, in the world, don't be too persistent in being a person and doing things, open a little in everything, open one eye (talk about principles), and close one eye (flexibility)?
From this, Zhang Cambodia remembered that the emperor listened to the greedy words and demoted him to the wild land of Xinzhou. As a result, he was depressed, depressed and decadent. In order to relieve his sorrow and boredom, he went out alone to visit the famous mountains and rivers. But the beautiful natural scenery and the chatter and laughter of tourists did not inspire his interest, but made him even more lonely and sighed, green mountains and green waters, in his eyes there is no aura and vitality.
He confided in Liang Shiyuan with a lonely mood and drank to relieve his boredom. But the wine is even more sorrowful......
At this moment, Zhang Cambodia seems to have realized from the eyes of the six ancestors the Zen wisdom of "letting go", "being at peace with the encounter" and "not being too persistent in being a person and doing things, and opening up a little in everything", and his mood suddenly brightened. As the saying goes: "The insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article", "Epiphany is great wisdom".
After the three of them visited the six ancestors in the hall of the six ancestors, they visited the scenery of Longshan, and unconsciously came to the top of Longshan, and were attracted by an ancient well spring --- Zhuo Xiquan, and stopped to watch.
Zhang Cambodia and Du Fu felt that Du Wei said to them: "This ancient well is at the highest point of Longshan, and it is indeed amazing that the top of the mountain can gush up. ”
Du Wei told the two about the situation of the ancient well in Xinzhou:
When the six ancestors Huineng returned to their hometowns, there was no water in the drought, the villagers and the monks were in short supply of water, and it was very difficult to dig wells. The water quality is sweet and cool, clean and bottomless, over the years, the drought and the spring water continues, not increasing or decreasing.
Du Fu looked at Zhuo Xiquan, which is located at the highest place of Longshan, walking on the misty-shrouded, fairyland-like Longshan Mountain, looking around, the orchids all over the mountains came into view, which was magnificent. The orchids that bloom on the branches are like beautiful orchid fairies, and it is difficult to hide their charming fragrance in the gentle breeze and misty mountain forests. Bursts of dark incense fluttered in the wind, making people's hearts sway, provoking Du Fu, a great writer, to think leisurely, and climbed on the boulder standing between the vast world next to the stele forest on the dragon, and the poetry rolled in the sky......
"Qingquan Peak is upstream," Du Fu just wanted to improvise a poem, and when he chanted the first sentence, suddenly, in the forest of steles, Wang Wei wrote the "Inscription of the Six Ancestors Neng Zen Master"
It came into view, so I hurriedly stepped forward to watch. The inscription reads:
There is nothing to give, it is to reach the source. There is no space to live, it is to know the emptiness. Separation is not moving, multiplication is common. There is nothing to be gained in a hundred laws, and everything is not destroyed. The master of the drum and the sea, I don't know the trip to Bodhi. The goddess of scattered flowers can change her voice and smell her body. then know that the law is not born, for the sake of the heart; Seeing that there is nothing to be desired, the law is always the same. The world's best people, there is proof of this, there are no leaks and no leaks, and there are no inaction, which is the only one who is Cao Xi Zen Master?
The common surname of the Zen master is Lu, and he is also from a certain county. The famous teacher is false, and the family name is not born; There is no middle in the law, and it does not live in the land of China. Good habits are in child's play, and roots are born in childlike innocence. is not selfish, and the smell is in the couples of cultivators; Fit the way and walk in the land of barbarians.
A number of years, the master of Huangmei Ren. I am willing to do my best, that is, to be content with the well. Su Zhi his heart, enlightened in the barnyard weed. Every master takes the throne and learns from the crowd. There is the root of the three vehicles, and the method of listening to one sound together. The Zen master was silently taught, and he did not give it. Retreat from selfishness, transcending selflessness. It still has the desire to thirst for deer, still seeking the traces of flying birds, the fragrant rice has not disappeared, the bad clothes are still covered, and they are all said to "ascend to the hall and enter the room". Measuring the sea and peeping into the sky, it is said to be the pearl of the Yellow Emperor, and it can be the seal of the king. The master knows his own and is humble and silent. How can God say anything, how dare the holy and benevolent? Zi said: "Give also, I and you are like you." On his deathbed, he secretly gave the patriarch's robe, and said: "Things are jealous of the only virtuous, and people are evil." I will die, and you will do it! ”
The Zen master then conceived the treasure of the state, dissipated the voice of the foreign land, all living beings are the soil, and the mixed residence stops at the editor; The world is the door, and the farmers and merchants are mixed with the laborers. And so on for sixteen years. There is a Master Yin Zong in the South China Sea, who talks about the "Nirvana Sutra". The Zen master listened to the seat, because he asked the righteousness, and the quality was true. Neither can be rewarded, but from the beneficial. Nai sighed and said: "The incarnation of the Bodhisattva is here, the body is an ordinary man, and he is willing to open his eyes." Then he led his (a disciple) to belong to him and did his best to live in Zen. Serve as a hanging garment and cut your hair yourself. So the rain of the law was greatly revived, and the dust of the guests was sprinkled. It is to teach people to "forbearance" and say: "A ninja has no life, so he can have no self, and he starts from the beginning of his heart, and thinks that he is the head of the sect." "As for the determination of nothingness, wisdom has nothing; The big body is more than ten directions, and the rigpa is beyond the three worlds; The root dust is not extinguished, and the color is extinguished; If the wish is not fulfilled, that is, everything is holy; Lift your feet and grow in the dojo; It is the heart and the love, and the same return to the sea; The merchant was tired and rested the city; There is no doubt that the poor man will open his treasure directly. It is not planted with virtue, and it is difficult to enter the door. The madness of empty flowers was not the fault of Hui Ri. Chang sighed and said: "Seven treasures of almsgiving, waiting for the sand of the Ganges; Hundreds of millions of eons of practice, as much as the earth ink, is not as good as the luck of inaction, the mercy of no obstacles, the four lives of Hongji, and the three haves of great shelter. "Morality is pervasive and fameful. Those who are dressed in the Spring Pavilion go to the Holy Tribulation; In the country of piercing ears and the poor years of sailing, they are willing to look at the posture of the dragon elephant and forget about the mouth of the whale salamander. Stand outdoors and sit in front of the bed. The forest is sandalwood, and there are no miscellaneous trees. The flowers are only spicy cloths, and they do not smell the aftertaste. All return to the truth, and many are delusional.
Nine times to extend the thought, thousands of miles of sincerity, Sibu hair to welcome, willing to fork hands and salute. The Empress Dowager, the Emperor of Filial Piety, and the Emperor sent an edict to persuade them to go to the capital. Zen master Zimu's heart, dare to forget Fengque? Far from the public's feet, but Tiger Creek. Sticking to this rhetoric, he didn't obey the edict. Then he sent hundreds of robes and money and silk to make offerings. The king of heaven gave a generous gift, offering jade clothes to the phantom people; The female queen is responsible for the cause of giving money to the Buddha. Suntech is a precious thing, and it is the same for different generations.
On a certain moon day, suddenly the doorman said: "I will do it!" "Russia is full of incense, and the white rainbow is territorial. Sit after eating, and change clothes after bathing. Flick your fingers and don't leave a finger, the water flows and the lights are blazing. The golden body is forever grateful, and the fire is extinguished. The landslides and rivers are exhausted, and the birds cry and the apes cry. They sang, "Man has no eyes." "Liejun weeps, and the world is empty. On a certain month and day, he moved to Cao Xi and sat in a certain place. Choose an auspicious place, not a blue bird; The forest of merit becomes a white crane.
Alack! The master is pure and simple, Tianzi is chaste, Baifu is a phase, and everyone knows each other. After the feast, they are all receiving it; Tan laughs at the language, and there has been no drama. Therefore, it can be repeated in five days, and the head of the hundred Yue. Repair the snake male, the gas of the poisonous stinger; Jump and bend the bow, guess the wind change. The fisherman knows everything, and the Gu duck knows what is wrong. It is more absolutely fishy, and the food of the mulberry gate; abandon the nets and attack the clothes of the rice fields; The method of eternal floating pictures really helps the transformation of the emperor.
The disciple said that the god will meet, meet the teacher in the evening scene, hear the Tao in the middle age, the wide amount of the heart, the wisdom of the more than the study, although the end of the offering, the music is the best. The ancestors knew that there was a wish to donate pearls. The world does not know, and there is still a lot of sorrow for jade. It is said that Yu knows, and he sees it with praise. He said:
The five aggregates are empty, and the six dusts are non-existent,
Sentient beings count down, and they don't know what to receive.
The lotus bears the feet, and the poplar branches give birth to elbows,
Leaving the body and mind is to blame.
To reach the view of people, and the Buddha to work,
If you have no intention of giving up, where will you be empty?
Without the Three Realms, in vain the Eight Winds,
With Zlizhi, he communicated with Zong.
Ignoring the Dharma,
If you bow down to the evil kind, you will have good karma.
Teach patience and anger, and cultivate mercy and hunting.
One flower in the world, six leaves of ancestors.
Open the treasure widely, show the clothes beads,
The origin is always there, and the mistakes are different.
Too moving, inseparable,
If my way is so, is it not in me?
The Tao is all over the four lives, and often depends on the six interests,
There are omissions of wisdom, and there are no righteous chapters and verses.
Sixty-two kinds, one hundred and eight parables,
If you don't get anything, you should go as you go.
Du Fu looked at Wang Wei's "Inscription of the Six Ancestors of the Zen Master", looked at Zhang Cambodia, and said with emotion: "Lord Zhang, we have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and we have heard that Lingnan is an uncivilized place in the southern barbarians, and I only know that Zen Buddhism is beautiful. It seems that we are lonely and unheard, not as far-sighted as Brother Wang Wei. ”
Suddenly, he found Liu Zongyuan's "The Sixth Ancestor of Cao Xi Gives the Dajian Zen Master Tablet" from the stele cluster, and Liu Yuxi wrote "The Second Tablet of the Sixth Ancestor of Cao Xi Dajian Zen Master of the Tang Dynasty", and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xian, we are really lonely and unheard, and I can't imagine that Liu Zongyuan, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty, has set up a monument for Huineng, which shows the influence of the six ancestors Huineng!" ”
