Chapter 29 What is a Buddha?

(Second update.) )

"Master Huiming." Li Congjing said hello.

Huiming recognized Li Congjing as the son of the big customer Cao, and immediately put a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Donor." ”

"I have a few questions that I don't understand, and I want to ask the master." Li Congjing said.

When Hui Ming heard this, he straightened his chest without leaving a trace, and said very pretendly: "My Buddha is merciful, if the donor has any troubles, the poor monk will definitely answer for the donor." ”

At this time, there are a lot of pilgrims coming and going in Kaiyuan Temple, and the little lady with a lily bun is standing behind the small tower, looking at this side, it is not eye-catching. Her maid said, "Hey, that Langjun actually asked Huiming to solve his doubts." But Lang Jun asked the wrong person this time. ”

The little lady didn't speak, she thought the same thing in her heart, and she didn't leave at the moment, so she looked at what Li Congjing was going to ask, and made up her mind that if the monk was talking nonsense, they would definitely go out to refute him and make him ugly in front of everyone. to achieve the purpose of teaching him.

Hui Ming and the little lady with a lily bun have no grievances, but they don't know that they have been remembered at this time. It seems that no matter what, you must not be hated by the woman, otherwise you may fall into the pit at some point.

Li Congjing smiled slightly, pointed to the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and asked, "May I ask the master, what is that?" ”

Huiming glanced over and saw that Li Congjing asked knowingly, although he didn't know why, he couldn't help but dislike it, so he said lightly: "Buddha." ”

Li Congjing pointed to the stone table not far away and asked, "May I ask the master, what is that?" ”

Hui Ming said angrily: "Stone table." ”

Li Congjing shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the inside is the stone bench, and the outside is the Buddha." ”

The little maid by the small tower exclaimed, "Oh, this Lang Jun looks at Junlang, why is his brain a little bad!" ”

But the little lady with a lily bun did not answer.

When Hui Ming heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and said: "Buddhism is important, and the donor is so messing around!" ”

Li Congjing laughed and said, "In this way, the master is very sure that what is inside is the Buddha, and what is outside is not the Buddha?" ”

Huiming knew that Li Congjing was the son of the Cao family, so he was willing to say a few more words to face, but he was also extremely impatient and said, "Of course! ”

"Master, you're wrong!" Li Congjing suddenly said extremely seriously.

"The poor monk is wrong?!" Hui Ming was furious.

Li Congjing said leisurely: "The Buddha said, a flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi." The vast world, the three thousand objects, all can be Buddhas. The statue is also a thing; The stone table is also a thing. Do you know that the statue is a Buddha, but the stone table is not a Buddha? Buddhist practitioners have nothing to live in almsgiving. I am a Buddha with compassion, so I cut the flesh to feed the dying. The statues in the treasure hall are subject to incense in the world, but not to others; The stone table and stone bench are different, I don't know that tens of thousands of people have had a moment of rest here, and have not moved, in order to give to others. From this point of view, the statue is not a Buddha, but the stone table and stone bench are the Buddha. ”

Hui Ming was stunned for a while, his face turned pale, and at this moment he finally understood that Li Congjing was here to find fault! But what Li Congjing said was indeed right, and Huiming was also shrewd, knowing that he could not violate the facts, so he said: "The donor's Buddhist attainments are profound, and he is very right, and the poor monks admire them." ”

He took retreat as advance, so Li Congjing couldn't say anything more.

But Li Congjing obviously didn't intend to let him go, and then asked again: "Master thinks I'm right?" The statue is not a Buddha, but the stone bench is a Buddha? ”

"Yes." Hui Ming said.

"No, I'm not right!" Li Congjing affirmed again.

"Isn't what the donor said right?" Hui Ming was stunned. Nima, what are you going to do?

The old god Li Congjing is saying: "The Buddha is colorless and phaseless, and it is not in the realm of sound and hue." When I have the appearance of a Buddha in my heart, in fact, it is no longer the appearance of a Buddha, but the appearance of my heart. Whether it is the appearance of a statue or a stone table, it is not a Buddha! ”

Huiming was speechless for a while, and he wanted to take the cloth shoe to slap Li Congjing's face, but he couldn't do it, so he was very aggrieved. When a person is angry and aggrieved, the expression must be wonderful.

Behind the small tower, the little maid had already jumped up, clapped her hands and said, "Ah, this Lang Jun is so powerful, he is so speechless that he is speechless!" Lady, look at the monk's face, it's really like eating a fly! Whose son is this Lang Jun, that's a good point! ”

The little lady with a lily bun also had a bright look in her eyes, but her comments were much more professional, she said: "This Langjun's understanding of Buddhism is very profound!" ”

Over there, Hui Ming didn't want to speak anymore, so he simply asked, "Then according to the words of the donor, what is a Buddha?" ”

"Haha! Master, you are a person in Buddhism, what is a Buddha, you should know better than me, why did you ask me? Li Congjing said with a smile.

The two of them were arguing about Buddhism here, attracting many onlookers, and Huiming couldn't hold it on his face, and wanted to say goodbye under the pretext of being entangled in things. However, Li Congjing would let him go so easily, stopped in front of him, and pretended to be sincere: "Master, you are a disciple of the Buddha, and I am a mortal in the world, and I am troubled by the suffering of the mortal world. My Buddha is compassionate, doesn't the master want to save me from fire and water? Yun He should go, Yun He subdued his heart, please teach me from the master. ”

There was a large group of people around him, and there were many discussions, and Huiming was unwilling to be played by Li Congjing like this, but the words "I am Buddha compassionate" came out of Li Congjing's mouth, which was really ironic.

Huiming is a person in Buddhism, and he has naturally read the Buddhist scriptures, so he wanted to ironize Li Congjing, so he said: "Good men, good women, develop the three bodhichitta." It should be like this, and it should be subdued as it is. Since the donor has learned the Buddhist scriptures, he should know how to protect his thoughts, maintain his original heart, carry forward the great compassion and bodhisattva heart of my Buddha, respect my Buddha, and protect my Buddha. If I have my Buddha in my heart and the heart of the Supreme Dao, then my Buddha will illuminate the heart of the donor, so that all kinds of distracting thoughts and demons in the world can be surrendered. ”

He said this very skillfully, except for the words on the table, the implication is that you had better show respect to my Buddhist people, otherwise the Buddha will want you to look good.

Huiming thought that since Li Congjing studied Buddhism, he naturally had some reverence for the Buddha, so he spoke like this, so that Li Congjing would not find fault with him again. Of course, after all, this is Kaiyuan Temple, and it is difficult to say whether Huiming has a deeper meaning of real threat.

But Huiming missaw Li Congjing.

Seeing that Huiming was still unrepentant, Li Congjing finally stopped hiding it, and in front of more and more onlookers, he directly reprimanded: "The Buddha's words 'develop the three bodhichitta' are to warn you and other monks to take the Buddha's heart as your own heart. Seek the supreme avenue above, and show compassion to all sentient beings, without demons, and without greed for the appearance of the world! ”

"Now, I see that you are courteous to the rich and noble, flattering only like a marketman, and rich is a Buddha; And for those who really need help, such as homeless homeless children and ragged children, they are fists and kicks! For example, people like you are not as good as the peddlers and pawns, and they dare to open their mouths and close their mouths about the compassion of our Buddha, which is really defiling the Buddha's door! ”

"Now, I want to tell you what a Buddha is. The Buddha once said that all living beings are Buddhas. It is because the Buddha is not in the West Heaven, not on the statue of the treasure hall, the Buddha is between the thoughts of all beings. One thought of purity is a Buddha, one thought of enlightenment is a Buddha, and one thought of kindness is a Buddha! When we worship the Buddha, we actually worship the good thoughts and the heart of the Great Dao in our hearts. Someone like you, who is not a disciple of Buddhism, is no different from the evil ghosts of hell! ”

Saying that, Li Congjing actually lifted Huiming up and strode towards the temple, "I'll take you to see the abbot, let him look at your face, and drive you out of this pure place of Buddhism!" ”

In front of countless people, Huiming was criticized by Li Congjing for being incomplete, and his face is bloodless at the moment. At this time, he was dragged by Li Congjing to see the abbot, and he wanted to struggle in every way, but he was a powerless guy, where could he defend Li Congjing's strength.

Huiming was dragged in his hands by Li Congjing, like a dog.

The onlookers were still unclear about the situation at this time, and they cheered one after another, and even scolded Huiming for being shameless, and many pilgrims who had seen Huiming bullying the weak wanted to step forward and step on his feet before they were willing.

These people who kneel in front of the Buddha statue all day long, promising their own selfish desires, have actually been closer to the Buddha by half a minute.

Seeing that Li Congjing had gone away, behind the small tower, the little lady with a lily bun and the maid came out. Both of them looked at the direction in which Li Congjing left, as if they were watching the hero go away, and their hearts were surging.

The little girl's small pretty face was already flushed, and she said happily: "This Lang Jun is really powerful and majestic, I have never seen such a Lang Jun, he really looks like a god descending from heaven!" ”

The little lady rolled her eyes, helpless about her maid's behavior. However, after a pause, the little lady also sighed faintly: "Knowledgeable, well-behaved but chic, and more benevolent, he is also extraordinary." Such a civil and military Lang Jun has never heard of it before, I really don't know which son's son it is......"

When the little maid heard this, she jumped up and said, "Ah, lady, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to this Langjun, right?" I've never seen you have such an evaluation of a son-in-law before! Also, this Lang Jun is handsome and talented, but it's rare......"

The little lady blushed suddenly, she stretched out her hand and twisted the little girl, and pretended to be vicious and said fiercely: "What nonsense is the dead girl, if you like that Lang Jun, it's a big deal that I will let you follow others, so you don't have to chew your tongue here!" ”

After all, there are a lot of people here, and the two little ladies are not too noisy, so they pulled and pulled a few times, and then left with small steps in shame.

Li Congjing really dragged Huiming to see the abbot, he was really angry, because a guy like Huiming really insulted Buddha and Buddhism. However, on the way, they met the elders of the temple who rushed over, Li Congjing looked for the stubble of the monks in the temple in front of everyone, and it was impossible for the monks in the temple not to find out, and it was impossible not to react, so that he did not need to find the abbot, and someone came to meet him.

Li Congjing saw that the monk who came was still polite, and he didn't want to be angry because he bullied Huiming, and he wanted to embarrass him, so he handed Huiming over to the person who came and went back by himself. After all, this is a matter in the temple, and he can't be too transgressive and treat Huiming as such.

When she met Cao, Cao, who knew what Li Congjing had done, did not teach him a lesson because Li Congjing was rude to the monks, Cao knew her son, and she believed that what her son did had his reasons. Moreover, she naturally has to support her son, and it is difficult for her to turn her elbow out. For Cao's family, no matter how big the Buddha is, it can't be as big as his own son, you bless my son and I will give you incense money, otherwise what will I do with you?

However, the Cao family said another thing, and she seemed to be quite interested, she pulled Li Congjing and walked quickly outside the temple, and said: "The little lady you have been staring at just now has already inquired about the mother, and she is the daughter of the Ren family." Hurry up, I can't say that I can catch up and say two words......"

Li Congjing opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, you're too fast, aren't you?" Besides, the child didn't mean that at all......"

"What doesn't mean that? How old are you, and you still don't let you hold your grandson for your mother? Cao's hated iron and steel, and seemed to feel that he was talking too much, so his tone softened, "Weiniang knows that you are thin-skinned, and you won't talk to the little lady when you are young, don't worry, there is a mother!" ”

"......" Li Congjing is really dumb and can't say how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis, he doesn't talk to the little lady because he doesn't have time to take care of these things in his heart, and he thinks about how to survive in troubled times the most.

However, in this era of matchmaking and parents' lives, Cao's values his own feelings so much, and Li Congjing is also very moved-although Cao's understanding is wrong.
