117th Debate Conference (II)

Zen Master Wuchao, what's wrong? Zhenanzi began to doubt life, is Buddhism and Tang poetry more compatible?

I have to say that Zhenanzi should be the one with the highest literary attainments present, although Xiang Gong defeated him in the poetry competition with his copying, but in terms of hard power, Xiang Gong thinks that he can't do it.

Therefore, this Zen verse should be the one that Zhennanzi can understand best, but Zhenanzi cares too much about the text and ignores the mystery in the Zen verse.

Now, after listening to the words of Wuchao Zen Master, Zhenan Zihuang was in his mind, and for a moment he emptied all his thoughts, and was instantly impressed by Zen Zen.

What exactly is Bodhi? What is a mirror? In fact, it's all empty, and you can't ask for it, and you can't get it if you don't ask for it.

"Zen, but is this important?" Xiang Gong said lightly.

Zen Buddhism, is one of the main schools of Buddhism, advocating the practice of meditation, hence the name Zen Buddhism, and because of the method of inquiry, through the origin of the mind as the main purpose, also known as the Buddha's heart sect.

According to time, today's Zen heirs are the four ancestors of Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren has not yet inherited the mantle, and the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism have not yet been born.

Even Xuanzang, who traveled to study Buddhism and traveled all over the land of China, has not been able to intersect with Zen Buddhism, let alone Wuchao Zen Master, he knows nothing about this emerging sect of Buddhism with Chinese characteristics that combines Chinese Confucianism and Taoism with Chinese characteristics.

"Zen?" Everyone is in the circle, I haven't heard of it, although Xiang Gong just casually recited a Zen verse, but in the tube, Zen Buddhism in the state of mind cultivation realm, can be called plateau and open-minded, mysterious and far-reaching, thought-provoking, sighing.

Looking at people's admiration and understanding with a hint of confusion and reverie, Xiang Gong smiled secretly in his heart, Zen Buddhism is about a word of enlightenment, focusing on appreciating the Buddha's heart, so there is a saying that "there is no text, don't pass it on outside the teaching".

Most of these people are people who study Buddhist scriptures on a daily basis, and have long known about Buddhism, and even some outstanding high energy, and have a foundation for the experience of the Buddha's heart.

Although Xiang Gong once again borrowed Huineng's Zen verses and did not have the comprehension of Buddha nature, in the eyes of these eminent monks, he was simply the messenger sent by the first generation of patriarchs to improve them, and everyone looked at Xiang Gong with admiration.

"Although Xiang Shi is a layman at home, he has a deep Buddha nature, and his state of mind cultivation is still above us. Wuchao Zen Master bowed down and asked, the other monks proclaimed the Buddha's call to be harmonious, and the good men and women in the audience also followed the chorus to salute, Xiang Gong is now simply a hundred responses.

But he couldn't be happy, pretended to be overdone, and relieved his doubts...... How can I give people doubts with these two brushes? He can't even memorize a mantra.

However, everyone is so devout, they are almost going to build a shrine for themselves, if they tell others that they don't have time to pretend to be forced here, wouldn't it make everyone sad?

No, it's not authentic to do this, and it must not hurt the hearts of good men and women.

Xiang Gong made up his mind, and immediately saluted and said, "Try hard, let's just communicate, we can't talk about resolving doubts." ”

Although Xiang Gong said humble, but this has already made everyone boil, Xuanzang looked at the original follower given to him by Li Shimin with admiration, and in a short period of time, he went from unknown to the point of impressing a group of monks today, and couldn't help but sigh that the cycle of cause and effect, the Buddha must have taken a fancy to Xiang Gong's potential Buddha heart, so he arranged for them to come together.

Zhenanzi didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly raised his head, the original flying look in his eyes had long disappeared, and in his place, there was only a trace of guilt, a trace of gratitude and a trace of happiness.

"Brother Xiang, I was wrong in the past, can you shave my degree for me, my disciple is willing to follow you to learn Zen." Zhenanzi actually knelt down in front of Xiang Gong and said sincerely.

Xiang Gong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Is it wrong?" No, it's just a detour. Do I need to shave? No, it's already ordained. ”

Zhenanzi listened, and immediately fell in love with it, this is the realm, he was still guilty, but in the heart of Xiang Gong, this is just an experience, he still wants to be a monk, but Xiang Gong's practice has already transcended the shackles of the situation......

"Yes, master......" Zhenanzi immediately called the master excitedly and directly.

"No, I'm not your master, I'm going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures."

"You have already cultivated to this realm, you can be called the Heart Buddha, do you still need to learn scriptures?"

"There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea!" Xiang Gong will pretend to be forced to the end, it is useless for these people to talk to them well, they are concise and to the point, and it is best to pretend to be mysterious.

"Then I'll go with you!" A gleam appeared in Zhenanzi's eyes.

Xiang Gong was a little embarrassed in his heart, he was accompanying Xuanzang to learn from others, and Zhenanzi was obviously not a player in his free team, how could he take him?

"All living beings have their own way to go, is it my way to learn from the scriptures, and is it also yours?" Xiang Gong was a little smiling.

Zhenanzi was stunned for a moment, he was speechless, and his heart suddenly became confused, Xiang Gong also saw Zhenanzi's determination to become a monk and practice, and immediately said to Wuchao Zen Master: "Please Zen Master accept him!" ”

Of course, Wuchao Zen Master will not refuse, he has just seen Zhenanzi's understanding, and he also feels that he has a relationship with the Buddha, and there is no flaw in returning to the door.

The overall situation on the stage has been decided, a dark horse of the dialectical conference soared out, and the lay people of the Tang Dynasty actually crushed a group of senior monks in the Western Regions, and successfully sat on the altar of this conference to teach a group of confused people for life.

In the next Q&A process, people had all kinds of doubts, which made Xiang Gong have a headache and brain fever, but fortunately, he also mastered the mysteries of Zen Buddhism, and he had a few verses in his stomach, so he coped with everything he could.

At the end of the festival, there were many senior monks who also wanted to follow Xiang Gong, but they were all rejected by Xiang Gong one by one, but the reason for this refusal was not your way or his way.

"Wuchao Zen Master, all the masters, Xiang Gong's class has an axe, it is an honor to be favored by everyone, but there is a sentence Xiang Gong has to say, before my Zen, there is a side, the so-called, the body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always diligently sweeping, don't make the dust, I hope the masters think carefully!"

After Xiang Gong finished speaking, he immediately fled in the wilderness, without taking away a cloud, and did not dare to leave a word of goodbye, he had been the head of the bandits, but he could no longer be the head of the monk.

Fleeing back to the camp, Xiang Gong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and was about to take a breath, but he heard a coquettish shout: "You are running very fast, you don't dare to delay if you deceive people, right?" ”

When Xiang Gong heard this, he was startled.
