Chapter 731: If You Ask, You Must Say
"Zen is a way of practice, the purpose of meditation is to cultivate the mind, and the process of meditation is also to cultivate the mind. Chinese Zen preaches that all living beings have Buddha nature and that everyone can become a Buddha. Chinese Zen belongs to Han Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, and believes that the world can become a Buddha. Chinese Zen emphasizes subjective initiative, and I am not a teacher. Chinese Zen does not visualize Buddha statues, does not specialize in the study of scriptures and laws, does not practice things and has no rituals. Some people think that the Chinese interpret Zen as an epiphany, which is a kind of innovation, and it is also enough that the Chinese are unwilling to absorb Indian Buddhism as if they were swallowing dates. The practical imagination of the Chinese created Zen, which gave them the greatest satisfaction in religious emotion. Zhang Cambodia said this, according to the original intention of the audience, they should also get the greatest emotional satisfaction from listening to him say that the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Ancestors" was so thorough, and it should be announced that it is over.
However, when he was thinking about saying, "This is the end of today's "Six Ancestors Altar Sutra", thank you, he didn't want to have something to do, at this time, he saw someone in the audience shouting: "Old man! I heard that our sixth ancestor Huineng, the empress Wu Zetian also respected him very much, and he was particularly fond of Buddhism, can you tell us about the empress and Buddhism? ”
Seeing this question, Zhang Cambodia could have been late at night, and he would have had time to talk about it again. But he just has a problem of "knowing everything, and saying it when asked", he asked on the stage, and despite the darkness of the night, he talked endlessly about the little-known palace secrets of "Wu Zetian and Buddha"-
It is said that in September of the second year of Wu Zetianhou (686 AD), an unprecedented and unbelievable miracle occurred in the Tang Kingdom: in the southeast of Fengxin County, Chang'an (now Lintong, Shaanxi), after a night of thunder and thunder, a pile of bones rose on the ground, and suddenly a mountain peak emerged from the ground! What's even more incredible is that even as people look at it with amazement, amazement, amazement, amazement, palpitation, and horror, that magical mountain is still rising and rising, rising, and rapidly growing to a height of more than 300 feet. At the same time, a large lake of 300 acres collapsed on one side of the mountain, and the clear spring gushed and the blue waves rippled. There are three or two pieces of unsettled land in the lake, which at this time are like natural islands, with fragrant grass and green trees. Several tall persimmon trees are full of bright red fruits, like red lanterns, dyeing the sky a little vivid and festive. A chrysanthemum blooms in the cold, the wind is strong, and its flowers are brilliant, and the hoarfrost is coming, and its wind is arrogant......
The peaks rise from the ground, the rocks break the earth, and the old mountains and rivers have changed their appearance since then;
Yao Chi descends to the world, all the people celebrate together, and the new atmosphere is now auspicious.
Jingluo (Chang'an, Luoyang) folk proverb said: Lishan landslide, change the imperial court; The new peak is now, and the country is changed. This unbelievable, but unbelievable miraculous phenomenon, does it indicate that the Tang Dynasty is about to change its surname? You must know that Wu Zetian, from the queen to the queen mother, has played the Tang Dynasty politics in the palm of her hand for 30 years, turning over the clouds and raining her hands, and even the emperor has been replaced by her for two......
The local officials did not dare to slack off, and hurried to Luoyang to report the news to the Empress Dowager Wu Ze. When they heard the news, they rushed to Luoyang to congratulate the Empress Wu on this unprecedented auspicious omen, and advised the Empress Dowager to abolish the titular emperor Li Dan and rule the world in the name of righteousness.
However, Wu Zetian did not stand on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and only issued an edict to name the newly emerged mountain as Qingshan, and Xinfeng County, where it is located, was also renamed Qingshan County.
So much for. Two years later, one day in April of the fourth year of the Hanging Arch, Tang Tongtae, a resident of Gyeonggi, went to Luoshui to fish. He plunged into the gushing river from a fierce water (diving) on the shore and accidentally touched something square. He scooped it up and brought it to the shore. Oh my God, this is a piece of white jade with a white body and no blemish! Gold has a price, and jade has no price. This is the best Hetian Meiyu, all the fish in Biluo Water are worth a lot of money combined, and it is time for Tang Tongtai to make a fortune.
