Chapter 88: Zen
Sister-in-law Feng cleaned up the table and made a cup of Longjing for everyone, and casually refused, "What is fat, you are originally a round face, look at the recent food you have eaten, and your complexion is also ruddy, the female girl just wants to be fat, and she will marry in the future." β
"I'm not going to get married, I'll accompany my sister" After finishing his routine homework, he twisted into Lu Zuixian's arms again.
Lu Zuixian patted her on the back and said, "Mr. Qian let Xiao Qian go like this, but you can rest assured?" β
"What can you worry about? Mr. Pei is not a tiger's den in Longtan, and the businessman is reasonable. β
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to talk?"
"If you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it, the worst plan is to be beaten and thrown out, and it's not a bad thing for the little guy to be beaten at this age."
βγγγγγγβ Shuangshu was speechless for a while, and she was killed by such a conversation that day.
"Just kidding, after the little guy recovered from his illness, he seems to have changed as a person, and he has spoken a lot more properly in doing things, and now he is in the concession again, and his safety can be guaranteed, so let him break in."
After a few more small talks, the two sides took their own leave and went back to their rooms to review their books.
Qian Xunzhi walked to the room, found a chair and sat down, took out a small piece from his pocket and rubbed it in his hand to play with it - it was a small gold five-pointed star.
Besides, the discussion of the meeting in the large living room of Pei Hongde is also coming to an end, and the determined Orientals have come up with a fairly reasonable response plan, and the rest is to know the destiny of heaven as much as possible. At this moment, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, Pei Hongde thought that Qian Dingzhang said "unaccompanied" and began to walk and shuttle in the crowd, Qian Dingzhang was also happy to find a corner to drink tea slowly and watch everyone socialize, during which there were also all kinds of people waiting to greet him, and this small group began to accept him.
A moment later, he stood in the center with a small rattan box, and everyone knew at first sight that he had something to say.
"Everyone, after consultation and reunification with everyone, in order to thank Brother Zhao for his righteous act, this is a little heart." As he spoke, he handed over the small rattan box, "There are ten slivers in here, and I am in a hurry at the moment, so I can only take these out." After the matter is understood, there will be a heavy reward" It turned out that Bei Hongde was discussing the remuneration with everyone just now.
Qian Dingzhang was taken aback, how could these rich second generations use big yellow croaker as the basic unit of measurement as soon as they make a move, and they have to touch their wallets first to eat a bowl of yellow croaker noodles, which is really poverty limiting imagination. And listening to this meaning, one hundred taels of gold is also a preliminary reward, and there are other thank-you gifts after the deed.
Although his eyes are hot, Qian Dingzhang knows that this gold is not easy to take, of course, Bei Hongde is sincere in giving it, but if he accepts it, the image of a master he has painstakingly created will be ruined. Hey, there is a problem with China's traditional culture, the master must not be greedy for money and not lustful, damn, the master still has a fart meaning in doing this.
I was crying in my heart, and I had to pretend on the surface, "Guys, I can't take this." First, I came to Brother Bei to deal with the Orientals, and secondly, after this battle, I estimate that most of you will still lose some capital, after all, the 20,000 shares of the Orientals are directly smashed out, and someone must have money to take over. You don't make any money, so what am I doing with all this? β
For a while, everyone came up to persuade him, but Qian Dingzhang insisted that he didn't want anything, and if he forced him like this, he would immediately turn around and leave, ensuring that you would never see him again in the future. and quietly pulled Bei Hong aside and bit his ear, "Brother Bei, I won't see you either, I am not short of money, this is one of them, and secondly, the theory of non-cooperative equilibrium is equivalent to selling it to Brother Rong, and his money is enough." β
"He took a big advantage, not to mention that these are two dollars and two things."
In the end, it was easy to say that Qian Dingzhang took a strip, which was regarded as a reward. There are nine left, and it is not easy for Bei Hongde to take it back, his eyes rolled and he simply counted these nine as an investment in Qian Dingzhang, if he made a profit, it was naturally easy to say, if he lost, then, then let's talk about it.
Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, everyone said goodbye one after another, Qian Dingzhang saw that everyone was almost gone and was about to leave, Pei Hongde asked, "I'll let the driver send you."
"Thank you, Brother Bei, Zhao still has something in his head, just to be a car, so he won't be tired"
Knowing that he was reluctant to reveal his residence, he said goodbye after a few polite words.
After Qian Dingzhang and everyone left, only two people were left in the empty living room, one was the owner here, and the other was Cheng Shaohua.
"Brother Cheng, good Yaxing, why should we go have a drink?" Beckon invited
"No, Brother Bei, I'm not as good as you when it comes to making money or something, but you are not as good as me in some things"
"Huh? Brother Cheng, what are you", Pei Hongde asked strangely, and at this moment Cheng Shaohua was holding a glass in his hand.
"This Brother Zhao didn't show his true face"
βοΌοΌ What "Behund" is even stranger.
"Brother Zhao is bland, but do you think that blandness is his original appearance? "Look," he said, handing the cup over and pointing to the rim of the cup and saying, "Look"
"Huh? This, this seems to be lipstick, but the color seems to be quite light."
"Brother Bei has good eyesight," Cheng Shaohua flattered, "This is exactly called oil paint, which is used to make movies and act in civilized dramas." What do you say is the purpose of a big man applying this? β
"But it seems that this brother Bei is very natural in appearance"
"I didn't notice it at first, but I didn't notice it until I accidentally noticed the mark on the cup, but unfortunately it was too late, and I had already left before I had time to observe the person properly. But it doesn't seem like it was malicious to us. β
"What a strange person," Bei Hongde also sighed.
"Brother Bei, why do you say he is willing to help us like this, although I don't understand how you manipulate stocks in the market, but if he is willing, he can go to the Middle East to cooperate, and even use this news to make a lot of money by himself in the situation where the two do not help each other, and later came up with these two formulas."
"Why help us?" Pei Hongde took a light puff of his cigar, and the smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth seemed to bring him endless inspiration. At this moment, he was a little drunk, and his mind was not sober but slightly drunk.
At this time, he is no longer the Bei Hongde who dominates the business field, nor is he the Bei Dashao who is not slippery in the happy field, an inexplicable but silky emotion in his heart slowly emerged, glanced at Bei Hongde, looked up at the huge chandelier in the living room, and Bei Hongde was a little distracted for a while.
"Probably, probably, because they are all Chinese, right?"
"Chinese? Just because of this? β
"What else?" Pei Hongde's eyes were still a little out of focus, and from Cheng Shaohua's point of view, he looked like an opium ghost who was drunk and had nothing to do and was spiritually empty after smoking a lot of cigarettes. But as an excellent inspector, Cheng Shaohua believes in his own judgment, seeing that this person has definitely not lost his mind, and can even go up to the surface that seems to be out of his mind, he is more rational than ever.
But where does this intellect come from? In Paris, the French detectives once made the interesting point that "the truest reason is often directly sublimated from sensibility, and not that reason is always the opposite of sensibility, as ordinary people think." The difficulty lies in sublimation". Cheng Shaohua was still secretly laughing in his heart at that time, isn't this what the Chinese say is the way or enlightenment.
"Brother Cheng," Bei Hongde called softly
"Huh? Brother Pei"
"When I was studying in Germany, you know that Westerners have now developed a discipline called Tibetan Studies, and the main object of study is Tibetan religion and philosophy. Spent a lot of time in GΓΆttingen. The University of GΓΆttingen has the best East Asian paleography institute in Germany, and it just so happens that there is a Chinese named Ji Xianlin who is studying for a doctorate. At that time, he was also a stranger and was very happy to see me, so he introduced me to his teachers, Professor Sicklin and Professor Schick, and I audited for a semester. So I know a little bit of Tibetan. β
"Brother Bei is really rich in experience, I haven't heard you talk about these before" Cheng Shaohua didn't know why Pei Hongde said this, so he could only choose to agree.
Later, when I returned to China and continued my travels, I happened to meet an old lama in a small inn in Dajian Lu, and when he saw that I knew Tibetan, he happily talked to me about Buddhism. I had no interest in religion, but he looked pitiful and looked like he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, so I talked with him in half-baked Tibetan for most of the night. The cigar in Bei Hongde's hand was steaming, and his upper body was caged up, and under the light of the electric light, Cheng Shaohua felt that Bei Dashao at this moment was really a bit of a treasure and solemn, and he wanted to make fun of him.
Bei Hongde muttered again, "I was really sleepy in the second half of the night, so I said goodbye to the old monk and said that I would accompany him tomorrow." The old lama smiled and suddenly spoke to me in Chinese... β
"Wait, you mean to say that this old lama understands Sinicization, but he has spoken Tibetan with you before?" (Speaking Zhang, Wu language means talking and chatting.) οΌ
"Yes, I was startled, and then vaguely annoyed. The old lama smiled and said, "He has been waiting for me for a long time, and it is also a method to send me a word before parting."
"Oh?"
He said that there are countless people in the world who believe in Buddhism, but there are very few who can really explain what Zen is. What is Zen is nothing but the moment when a thought has been extinguished and a thought has not been born. After saying that, the old lama lowered his eyes and leaned against the wall and fell asleep. I walked back to my room in a daze, and I realized something, but I couldn't tell why. And so he fell into a deep sleep. β
"Later, yes?" Cheng Shaohua relied on the instinct of an inspector to ask, there must be a story behind this.
"The next morning, I was woken up by a cry, and I ran out of my room to see a group of ragged and unkempt lamas wailing. From their conversations with each other, it became known that these lamas were monks from several nearby temples, all of which enshrined the same living Buddha who was nearly eighty years old. One night last month, the living Buddha suddenly disappeared from his ashram, and the temple people became anxious and sent capable people out to look for him. After all, the climate in Xikang is harsh, and an octogenarian monk is easy to have an accident outside, and everyone is looking for it to no avail. But at the same time in the early hours of this morning, I dreamed of this old living Buddha, saying that it was in this inn and invited them to see them for the last time. The strange thing is that these lamas are scattered in all directions of this inn, and they dream for a while. But they are extremely religious, and they all wake up from their dreams and go straight on the road. As a result, the time to arrive at the inn was about the same, and after inquiring about each other, they all knew that something was wrong. So I followed them into the room where the old Buddha was, and found that he had passed away. β
"Huh?! That living Buddha is the old monk who chatted with you" Cheng Shaohua, even if he is well-informed, he can't help but be startled when he hears this.
"Exactly. When I saw this, I felt something, so I relayed the last message to everyone. β
Cheng Shaohua listened in a daze, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. hurriedly looked up, but saw that Bei Hongde's face was ruddy at this time, his eyes were bright, and he was completely different from just now, "Brother Bei?" β
"Thank you Brother Cheng for listening to me talk about these things, the old monk's words I finally understood, knowing what Zen is, then understand why so many people are seeking meditation, the moment between the two thoughts is the source of the self. The thoughts that come out of meditation are the most authentic and reliable thoughts. β
"Brother Cheng" Bei Hongde patted Cheng Shaohua's shoulder, "I just thought through, the reason why this person is willing to help us is because we are both Chinese, not bad, you and I, including most of the Chinese in the room just now, we are far more like people than they want to live, but are we really people?" Our Bei family relied on the Germans to make a fortune, Brother Cheng, you are French, and so are the others, can the Rong family hide in the concession on their own, and think that foreigners are safe? I think Brother Zhao probably hopes that everyone will unite and do something, maybe one day our children and grandchildren can stop relying on foreigners to protect their safety and wealth. β
"This γγγγγ" Cheng Shaohua was a little dazed, and after a moment of silence, something began to flash in his eyes, after all, he was only about 30, and he was still far from the real old treacherous cunning, and his heart was hot, "Brother Bei, this time we will not show favoritism, even if we lose money, even if there is danger, we must break the plot of the radish head!" β
Speaking of this, he bowed his hand to Bei Hongde, "Brother, I'll go back and arrange people first, and when your news arrives, my patrol here and the Qinggang brothers will be scattered." β
"Thank you, Brother Cheng," Bei Hongde returned the salute.
Similar conversations didn't just happen between the two of them that night.
========================================================================
The discussion of Zen in this article is not a fabrication. From Sogyal Rinpoche's book "The Tibetan Book of Life and Death".
Now Rinpoche is flying all over the sky, and he is basically a liar. However, Tibetan Buddhism still has a lot to offer as a primitive Buddhism. Compared with the Han and Southern traditions, it retains more philosophical ideas and speculative systems that are closer to the origins of Buddhism, and some of the views are very interesting. In fact, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, Han Buddhism had declined in the sense of the text, and it was getting farther and farther away from the original intention of Shakyamuni to establish Buddhism.
At this time, it is the Tibetan secret located in the border and the Dongying Dongmi to save Han Buddhism, the more typical is the Jing'an Temple in Shanghai, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the descendants of the shaving system changed to the jungle system, the former is equivalent to finding a successor in the temple, the latter is in accordance with the strict rituals to the outside world to seek talents, from the perspective of progress is equivalent to slavery into the feudal system. Jing'an Temple also became the first temple in Hanmi.
Tantra is Tantra, you need to practice Tantra, now liars are rampant a few years ago, Tibetan Esoteric was popular, and later the practice of Theravada is those Buddhism in Thailand, and the current wind direction is to the East Tantra also called Tang Mi is Kukai learned from Elder Huiguo of Qinglong Temple in Xi'an, and then brought back to Japan. Regardless of the type of Esoteric Method, the way to distinguish between good and evil is very simple, knock on the blackboard and mark the key points: Anyone who casually teaches the so-called Esoteric Method is a fake liar. True Tantra does not allow you to practice the Sutra texts for ten years, and you will not pass on the Tantric Dharma, which includes but is not limited to empowerments, mantras, etc.
As for the 200,000 fake Rinpoche in Chaoyang District, it is really a crime of non-hiding secrets.
