Chapter Seventy-Nine: Winning the Trick
All in all, in short, the Buddhism of this era, all that can be found by hollowing out the mind is nothing more than some low-level brainwashing routines to persuade people to believe in Buddhism, which is much more scum than gimmicks such as IT meditation classes, MBA meditation classes, and Internet + meditation classes in later generations.
And Huang Dalang listened to it with relish, but on the other hand, he kept sending out all kinds of strange thoughts and complaints in his mind, and even many details and case studies that he had never seen in his dreams about various scammers in later generations who engaged in various frauds under the guise of Buddhism.
After listening to the saying, the believers and benevolents under the leadership of Zhikong used a wooden basin to fill the big fish they bought, and walked from Anguo Temple to the river to release the life, listening to Zhikong chanting what is equivalent to doing homework a hundred times and reciting Amitabha Buddha thousands of times, Huang Dalang's brain twitched, and he simply asked: "Zen master, I just want to ask, if I want to accumulate merit, and when I go to the West in the future, I can be an Arhat Bodhisattva, how many fish do I have to release?" Would it be okay to replace it with pigs and dogs? ”
Na Zhikong's face changed immediately, but his cultivation was okay, so he could only explain, "The little donor is wrong, this release is originally the blessing of pure karma and the blessing of compassion and non-killing." Now I can not kill, but let it dust; It can not only release dust, but also give birth to a pure land with law. If you are attentive, when the report is full, there is no doubt that the Nine Crystal Lotus Platform will take a high step! ”
Huang Dalang shook his head and replied: "Zen master, we all understand the truth, you just say how many fish you want to put in it, right?" Or can I simply convert the money from selling fish into silver taels and give it to the Zen master, as long as I can guarantee that I can become an Arhat Bodhisattva in the future, it is not a problem how much money is! ”
Zhikong was almost angry by this sentence, and looked left and right to find out who Huang Dalang's parents were, but he didn't see the eye-catching, so he could only patiently explain again: "Little donor, this release must be heartfelt, it is an act of compassion, how can it be measured by money." ”
As soon as Huang Dalang heard the music, he pointed his finger at everyone: "Oops! This is strange, who is not a fish to buy with money to release the fish that came to be released today? Buying one to release is compassion, but buying a few more is not enough? It doesn't make sense! ”
Seeing that Huang Dalang was clearly provoking, Wan Chunnu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly pulled Huang Dalang's sleeve and said, "Huang Lang, don't say it again." ”
Huang Dalang was indeed ready to stir up trouble this time, because when he had just heard the vulgar talk, he noticed that many Xinshan women looked at this Zhikong with wrong eyes, and what made him feel unhappy was that his concubine Wan Chunnu, who was about to pass through the door, also seemed to be hooked by this Zhikong, so the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Zhikong was very similar to the lewd monk who his master Zhu Taozhi had punished before, and simply continued to stir up trouble: "Also, I heard that only fish, snakes, and turtles are released in this release, why can't chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs be released, could it be that chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs are not sentient beings?" I heard from the monks of Dinghui Monastery that if people do bad things, they should devote themselves to the six realms to be pigs and dogs, so if we release pigs and dogs, wouldn't it be more meritorious? ”
Zhikong's body trembled, but after bowing down to everyone, he said: "Donors, after today's ritual, let's disperse!" ”
After speaking, he strode directly to Anguo Temple, and he didn't look at Huang Dalang, and many of the believers who came to release him also recited a Buddha name and dispersed, but no one paid attention to it, which made Huang Dalang dumbfounded.
There was only one old woman, who kindly stepped forward and said to Huang Dalang: "Later life, the path of this, the Zen master has said in the vulgar sayings, you don't know now, but because you have heard less about Buddhism, and you will understand it if you listen more in the future." The Zen master doesn't say much to you, but wants you to be enlightened! ”
Then the old lady left Huang Dalang, who was confused, and left with a kind face.
On the way back to the city, Huang Dalang was in no mood to go to Wanchunnu again, but began to think about some questions, such as: 1. Studying, he has now apprenticed and entered the Hongwen Museum, which is considered a GET √; Second, the immortals who live in the Purple Mansion let themselves find ways to make money, and with the success of Shihui Street, it can also be regarded as a GET √; 3. Practicing martial arts, following the Sun brothers has made great progress, but martial arts cannot be practiced overnight, and it can be regarded as a half-GET √; Fourth, the senior brother Gongsun Zheng has already gone to assassinate Ah Guda, and whether he succeeds or not is not something he can control, and he still needs to wait for the result; Fifth, the daily life and training of the beggars are already on the right track, and the matter of forming them into their own team is also not something that can be done in a day, so ...... What's wrong with you today, why do you feel very lost after coming out of Anguo Temple?
After thinking about it, I have no problem studying and practicing martial arts recently, and it is no problem for my father and mother to be in charge of the operation of Shihui Street, and I still don't think there is any problem in other aspects, but why...... Wait a minute!
Huang Dalang suddenly recalled that he came out early this morning, and then in the car to light Wan Chunnu, and then went to the gate of Anguo Temple to visit the temple fair, he was in a very good mood, but why is his mood bad now, obviously it has something to do with the old monk in the wooden pavilion and the Zhikong who is engaged in the release of life, and it is true that this is the case when I think about it, but when I think about it, I feel a little sleepy, and I actually fell asleep.
Suddenly, the fog dispersed, and Huang Dalang saw himself sitting on a bamboo mat drinking tea with the immortal who lived in the Purple Mansion.
The middle-aged immortal smiled: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! If you don't notice it today, you almost mess up your sanity! ”
Hearing what the immortal said, Huang Dalang woke up in shock, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”
The middle-aged immortal said: "After you entered Anguo Temple today, I didn't want the monks in the temple to have some Taoism, and I actually knew the truth of hypnosis with Buddhist music, so I had to make a move, and the result almost messed up your sanity." ”
Huang Dalang pointed to his head in surprise and asked, "Are those things that were deceived in the future world false or true?" ”
The middle-aged immortal smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's true!" It seems that you should go to this kind of temple less in the future! But your Dao heart is too uncertain, and you can actually listen to this kind of vulgar talk with relish? ”
Huang Dalang didn't feel that there was a problem with his Dao heart, but he just felt that Zhikong's vulgar speech was really interesting, and when he wanted to argue, the middle-aged immortal broke through: "Zhikong's vulgar speech is not special, you think it's interesting because there is a mechanism hidden in the Buddhist music that is used as a soundtrack when he speaks, and it alludes to a rhythm that can hypnotize people's minds, so unconsciously, the listener is easy to enter a false state of concentration, and then will feel that the truth in the Buddhist scriptures taught by Zhikong is correct, and the idea of believing in Buddhism sprouts in his heart." ”
"Could it be that I almost fell for a trick just now?" Huang Dalang still followed Zhu Taozhi for a few years, and finally understood, but the middle-aged immortal said again: "There is one thing you may have overlooked, don't you think that the monks who appeared near your house have something to do with this matter?" And why did this Wan Chunnu suddenly take you to Anguo Temple to listen to the vulgar lectures, you should also ask carefully. ”
After speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly cracked, and then Huang Dalang felt that someone was gently shaking himself, and Wan Chunnu's soft voice came from his ears: "Huang Lang, wake up, it's time to enter the city!" ”
