Yide Zen Master pondered the meaning of Liang Shirong's words, and the more he pondered, the more he tasted the connotation: "When you are confused, you are carried by the Buddhist scriptures, and you can turn the Buddhist scriptures after you realize it?" ”

Liang Shirong said loudly: "Why work hard to keep the precepts with a peaceful heart, and what is the use of practicing meditation when you are straight?!" One thought of practice, Dharma body and other Buddhas. If one thought is realized, all beings are Buddhas. ”

Zen Master Yide heard Liang Shirong's direct teaching, and was deeply touched: "Amitabha, the poor monk thinks that after becoming a monk, he has let go of all delusions, and he is already free of worries, and his six roots are pure. In the temple, I have been reciting scriptures day and night, and I believe that by this way, I will be able to achieve positive results in the future and attain Bodhi, but in fact I am in prison. Today, the benefactor made the poor monks seem to see the glow of the lamp of meditation, illuminating the lost path; Let me brush away the clouds and fog barriers in front of me, and my confusion will be wide open, and I will see the past and the present. ”

Liang Shirong said humbly: "Master, don't hold me up so high, you must know that falling from a high place is uncomfortable!" ”

Yide Zen Master knew that he had met a master, and said sincerely: "Donor, in this temple, those little monks have returned to the meditation room to rest, and now they are silent, only you and me." We might as well talk about the matter of entering the WTO and leaving the world, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it directly. ”

Liang Shirong: "One lamp can remove a thousand years of darkness, and a smart can extinguish ten thousand years of foolishness." The best way for a person's life to break off the suffering is not to be polluted by the hustle and bustle, and to cultivate the mind and nature. The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. Leaving the world to find Bodhi is like asking for rabbit horns. The path to enlightenment is both physical and mental. The nature of oneself is pure, and one can become a Buddha when you see nature. ”

Zen Master Yide said in a pious and admiring tone: "Humanity, our Xinzhou region is a wild and desperate region, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was a genius who shocked Buddhism. ”

Liang Shirong asked knowingly: "Genius of the world? Master, who are you talking about? ”

Yide Zen Master has one word and one sound, like a pearl falling on a jade plate: "Six Ancestors Huineng!" ”

Zen Master Yide raised his finger in the direction of Longshan, and his words were like the stream of Shuangshi Mountain Canyon gushing out: "I heard that he turned out to be just a firewood boy in Xialu Village, Longshan. In order to seek the Buddha's way, thousands of miles away to HB Dongchan Temple, worship under the five ancestors Hongrenmen.

Hongren knew that he was old and thirsty, and he used it as a person to find out the practice of the monks in the temple to fix the lamp. Senior Brother Shenxiu was originally poor and talented, and wrote a poem: The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror platform. Always wipe it frequently, don't make it dusty. I thought I could beat the crowd and take the lead. Unexpectedly, the unknown handyman Huineng was born with a song: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform." There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. In the end, Master Hongren passed on the ancestral robe and golden bowl to him on the third watch. The empty door should be far away from the land of right and wrong, but unexpectedly, it has set off a lot of turmoil.

Liang Shirong inquired: "Huangmei Dongchan Temple suddenly thundered, shaking the Buddhist altar, I don't know what the master thinks?" ”

Yide Zen Master Zhengse said: "Amitabha, although the poor monk is far away from the ancestral court, he is not an outsider. The major events of Buddhism are also the affairs of poor monks, and they should be remembered in their hearts. The merits of this are indeed not easy to determine. But I think that Master Hongren has experienced the ups and downs of Buddhism, and is accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of the world. He certainly has his own vision and vision for the bigger picture. ”

Liang Shirong said: "The master cultivates meditation, not involved in the ups and downs of the world, nor swayed by secular prejudices, and has his own unique opinions, which are admired by today's people." ”

Zen Master Yide continued: "Within the empty door, it is unfathomable, and it is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents. The mantle of passing the lamp, can not only look at how much you read, can not be senior, can not be distinguished between respect and inferiority, but should be high in morality, let the dragon elephant talent, the Zen wind banner high, stand in the world, the wind and grass, the public expectation, in order to be able to cross the sea of law, from generation to generation. ”

Liang Shirong heard the resonance and praised: "The master is really open-minded and extraordinary. ”

Yide's eyes flashed with a bright light, pointed directly at Liang Shirong, and asked, "Donor, are you telling the truth?" ”

The corners of Liang Shirong's mouth pulled slightly, smiled slightly, pointed to his chest, and said: "The master has been studying and meditating for many years, and he should know that the mind is a Buddha." Who am I, you can go straight to your heart, understand yourself, and you don't need to spend your lips and tongues to ask questions. ”

Zen Master Yide has long heard the story of the Buddha Shakyamuni smiling with flowers and spreading his heart from Master Dinghui: when the Buddha Shakyamuni said the Dharma on the Vulture Mountain, he held the golden Bora flower given to him by the Great Brahma King to show the public, his attitude was peaceful, but he did not say a word. All the disciples who were waiting to listen to the scriptures were at a loss, and only the disciple Moagaya smiled slightly. Shakyamuni announced on the spot: "I have hidden the Dharma with my eyes, and I have carefully studied the Dharma, which is a mysterious mental method, and now it has been transmitted from the heart to the heart. On the spot, he gave the robes and bowls to the Moagaya. This is the classic story of Buddhism.

Yide Zen Master heard Liang Shirong say this, and saw that he pointed directly to the hearts of the people, and understood a little in his heart, so he also pointed to his heart and smiled: "Amitabha, smiling with flowers, good!" Wonderful! Donor, you're right, that is, the mind is a Buddha. ”

Liang Shirong smiled at each other with Yide Zen Master.

It is at this time that silence is better than sound, and the heart is clear.

At the time of parting, Yide Zen Master personally sent Liang Shirong out of the main hall of Daishan Temple.

Several white cranes soar and hover overhead.

The mountain breeze blows in the face, which makes people feel refreshed

Liang Shirong lifted the basket that was resting in front of the temple gate, poured the lingzhi and fungus inside in front of the granite steps, and said, "Master, these mountain treasures were picked by me on the mountain just now, and I will give them to your temple." ”

Yide Zen Master waved his hand and excused himself: "Donor, so many mountain treasures, it is not easy for you to pick them." You might as well take it home and use it. ”

Liang Shirong: "There are many treasures on Shuangshi Mountain, and I can pick some more on my way home." My first visit to your Daishan Temple is a small greeting to show my love for your Buddhism. ”

"This ......" Yide Zen Master clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, good!" Wonderful! Since the donor is generous, then the poor monk will express his deep gratitude to you on behalf of the monks of the whole monastery. ”

Liang Shirong: "Master doesn't have to be polite. ”

Yide Zen Master said to Liang Shirong with deep feelings: "People say the Tao, listen to your words, and read ten years of books." Today I am listening to your words, and I am better than reading ten thousand volumes of scriptures. Donor, I hope that you will come to our temple more often in the future when you have time, and give guidance to the poor monks. ”

Liang Shirong also came with his hands folded back: "Good! Wonderful! Master, how can I give you some guidance?! I'm just revealing my heart. In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will naturally go to Daishan Temple to pay homage to the master and listen to your teachings. ”

"Okay." Master Yide nodded and replied.

The mountain breeze is refreshing.

Master Yide sent Liang Shirong to the stone steps of the mountain gate of Daishan Temple, and the two waved goodbye.
