Chapter 009: Bursting Dates on the Head

I heard Kuma say: "The Dharma is only knowledge, and everything in the universe is realized by knowledge, which is the so-called eye, ear, nose, tongue, consciousness, and even the end of the knowledge, the eye is the beginning, and the end of the knowledge is the end." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info master eyes closed, no beginning can be the end! ”

Kuma let out a sneer.

Everyone heard it in a fog, but the monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple heard it in their ears, but it was like a blow to the head!

The Dharma Xiangzong, also known as the Wisdom Sect, emphasizes the use of the eight senses to observe the things outside the mind, and the inner and outer worlds, and through the interaction of the eight senses, the external objects move because of the mind, which is the so-called "nothing is changed by the mind". Because of this, the cultivation of the Faxiang Sect emphasizes the understanding of one's own senses and the outside world, and the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and mind move. The practice of visual awareness is the lowest level, but it is also the foundation of the practice, and the last consciousness is the highest level, and finally when you reach the alayya consciousness, you enter the right fruition. According to this logic, without vision, all practice is empty. Xuyuan's eyes are closed from beginning to end, which is equivalent to cutting off his eyes, and his future cultivation will become rootless water!

Kuma can be said to be very knowledgeable, and he actually knows so much about the Dharma Phase, and as soon as he came up, he grasped a logical problem of the Dharma Sect.

But he heard Xuyuan say slowly: "Senluo Wanxiang, there are eight changes in knowledge, the two worlds inside and outside, not outside the heart, the eight senses go to one, and the essence is slightly closer!" ”

After saying this, the monks breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the eight consciousnesses are nothing more than the mileage leading to the original mind, and if you remove one knowledge, you will be one step closer to the original mind. Although this is not very strict in terms of linguistic logic, Buddhist cultivation is not as rigid as linguistic logic. Even Theravada Buddhism in Tibet does not stick to the logic of language.

Gu Mo no longer dwelled on his vision, and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard that there are snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains and strange beasts in the Divine Lake?" ”

"Heard or unheard, he is at ease, what does it have to do with the old man!" Xuyuan said lightly. "Smell" is the knowledge of the ear, and the distance negates the knowledge of the ear, in fact, it is one step closer to the original heart.

"The Buddha stepped on the five-colored lotus, pointing to the sky and the earth, and the five-colored lotus has nothing to do with the Buddha?"

"The Buddha saw the lotus, but the old man didn't see it!" The lotus flower is illegal, and it is the same as Shakya, it is all hue!

"What did the Master see?"

"Only see the national teacher." Xuyuan said. When the Dharma is cultivated, the things in front of you are at ease!

"The master's eyes are closed, how can he see it?"

Xuyuan slowly opened his eyes: "Close your eyes and see the national teacher, and when you open your eyes, you can only see the trees in the court!" ”

Between the words of the two sides, you come and go, everyone listens like falling clouds, and the blind streams on the west seat are even more yawning, and many people have already snored.

Bu Yunfei is secretly surprised, for Tang Dynasty Buddhism, Bu Yunfei as a historical research supporting material, did some browsing, although not proficient, but also basically understand the inheritance and teachings of the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, as well as some basic practice rules. The remarks of Xuyuan and Guma seem to be gentle and drizzly, but in fact, they are at odds with each other, and the smell of gunpowder is extremely strong! To put it bluntly, these words are the orthodox dispute between Theravada Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism, but they also reveal the mystery of Buddhism. Kuma's "so-called snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains and strange beasts in the sacred lake" is nothing more than an emphasis on the source of Buddhism. The Central Plains Buddhism nominally worships Tianzhu as authentic, but in fact, it has long been a self-contained system, which is very different from Tianzhu's Buddhism. Kuma emphasized that the Central Plains Buddhism is a pseudo-law, and the sentence "only see the tree in the court" tells Kuma that Buddhism is everywhere, and it is meaningless to investigate the source!

The two sides have come and gone, but they have not been able to distinguish a winner or loser.

But he saw Gu Mo get up, stand in front of Xuyuan, cover his vision, point to the sky, and say proudly: "Master, in front of you is the tree in the court!" ”

Void was silent.

Bu Yunfei chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Void is on the hands of Kuma!

As soon as that Kuma came up, he didn't debate the Dharma with the void at all! The so-called Snow Lotus Divine Beast and Buddha Shakya are actually external hues!

Kuma knew that he could not take advantage of the void in the face of the void by cultivation alone, so he deliberately entangled in the hue and led the void to spin around on the meaningless issue of the source of the Dharma, and as a result, he became farther and farther away from the Dharma. In the end, Xuyuan uses the "tree in the court" to express that Buddhism is everywhere, as the so-called "what you see when you go out is the Dharma", which was originally right, but Kuma stood up and blocked the vision of the void, so what you see in front of you is only Kuma!

Since it is said that everything you see in front of you is the Dharma, then Kuma is naturally also the Dharma, and it is the authentic Dharma!

This is not a debate at all, but a strong argument!

However, Kuma took advantage of the words of the void, which was equivalent to the distance himself sent to the door. It is not difficult for Xuyuan to refute "Kuma is the Dharma", but to refute Kuma is equivalent to admitting that he said the wrong thing!

Under the eaves of the hall, Kong Ming and the monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple suddenly changed their faces.

The blind streams in the west seat were inexplicable, but the envoys from various countries in the east seat were aware of the clues, and guessed that there was something wrong with the void, and the Great Ci'en Temple was going to lose!

Yang Guozhong also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Kong Ming shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Xuyuan has lost!" ”

Listening to the high stage, the yellow-clothed monks who followed Guma shouted in unison: "The national teacher has won, long live Tubo!" ”

Yang Guozhong's face turned pale, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

The Great Mercy and Grace Temple folded for a while, and there was no excuse, so it could only be recognized!

On the west seat, the blind streamers were inexplicable: "Why did you lose?" ”

The east seat was even more lively, the envoys of various countries were originally just whispering to each other, but now they began to make loud noises, some shook their heads and sighed, some laughed and laughed, and some small countries in the Western Regions near Tibet hurriedly got up to congratulate the Tibetan envoys and expressed their loyalty at the first time.

In the midst of the chaos, a young man in a white robe ran out of the crowd and rushed to the bottom of the high platform.

"What kind of person, dare to break into the Buddha platform!" The law enforcement monk shouted in remorse: "Take it for me!" ”

Under the high platform, there was originally the support of the monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and no one was allowed to approach. It's just that the Great Mercy and Grace Temple lost, and these supporting monks were depressed, and they didn't expect that someone would rush over at this time, and they were flustered for a while, and before they could react, the young man took three steps and two steps, and rushed straight to the high platform.

I saw that the young man rushed to the high platform, rushed to Xuyuan's side, raised his hand on the door of Xuyuan's shiny head, and knocked three times!

The monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple exclaimed. But I saw the young man jump off the high platform, carrying a burden, and running all the way.

That Xuyuan is the highest senior monk of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the only surviving disciple of the Faxiangzong, known as the master of all laws by the Buddhist world, but was hit by a blind stream, and none of the monks dared to believe their eyes, and thought they were dazzled!

After a long time, empty regret reacted: "Protect Uncle Shi!" ”

The young man had long since disappeared.

In the confusion, he suddenly heard on the high platform, and laughed in the distance: "How can you come to the tree in the court!" ”

Kuma was stunned and hurriedly shouted, "Right in front of the master!" ”

"The old man has a tight headache!"

"The master is beaten, and he deserves a headache!"

"Is the national teacher in pain?"

"I wasn't the one who was beaten!" As soon as Kuma spoke, his face suddenly changed greatly.

I only heard that under the eaves of the palace, the deacon of the Zhike Hall of the Great Ci'en Temple, Kong Lin shouted: "The national teacher of Kuma has been defeated!" ”

Throughout the debate, Kuma is entangled in who is the authentic Buddhadharma. Xuyuan talked about the tree in the court and gave him the name of Buddhism and authenticity. Buddhism in the world, all sects are one, it is unpredictable, in fact, pushing the heart to people is nothing more than the word "compassion"! Xuyuan was beaten, and since Kuma regarded himself as the authentic Dharma, he should be painful! Even if there is no pain in the skin, there should be compassion. But the Kuma said, "It's not me who gets beaten!" ”。 In a word, the original form is revealed, this person has studied the Dharma intensively, but he has not even understood the most basic things!

Dharma may seem profound, but it is actually the simplest! The word "compassion" is what Buddhism is all about! "Compassion" is the only way for beginners, and it is also the lifelong pursuit of intensive researchers! Many Buddhist masters think they have attained enlightenment, but in fact they don't even understand this truth -- don't change people's original intentions! And the original intention of man is compassion!

Yang Guozhong suddenly saw that the situation on the high platform had changed greatly, although he didn't learn and didn't know what was painful, but he also knew that this time, the Great Ci'en Temple really won.

But behind Yang Guozhong, an entourage dressed in samurai armor asked in a low voice, "Who is the young man who ran to the stage just now?" If it weren't for him, Master Xuyuan would not be able to win this game! "The voice is a little shrivelled.

Kong Ming was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the warrior more.

Judging from the attire, the samurai was just an accompanying guard, and on such occasions, even if he was full of curiosity, he should know the rules, how could he talk casually!

The warrior's face was white, his body was a little bloated, and under his helmet, a few strands of green silk faintly appeared.

Kong Ming was taken aback, hurriedly lowered his head, and didn't dare to look again.

Yang Guozhong saw Kong Ming's surprise, hurriedly leaned into Kong Ming's ear, and said in a low voice: "Master Abbot, the concubine Niangniang is dedicated to the Buddha, this time she came to watch the ceremony by order, but because of etiquette, it is inconvenient for the concubine to leave the palace publicly, so this is the right to change." The master just needs to know it in his heart. ”

Kong Ming had already seen that the warrior who followed Yang Guozhong was actually Yang Guifei, the emperor's first favorite concubine!

In the past, Kong Ming had seen Yang Guifei, so he should have known him. Today, one is full of debates, and the other is that I didn't expect Yang Guifei to pretend to be a warrior and follow Yang Guozhong into the Great Ci'en Temple, so Yang Guifei stood behind him, but she didn't know it.

Kong Ming nodded, and shook his head again: "The old man understands, it's just that the concubine Niangniang acted like this and broke the rules." ”

Yang Guozhong lowered his face: "The rules are set by the emperor!" ”

Kong Ming had to bow his head and remain silent.

The Great Ci'en Temple is very famous in the sea, with many believers, and is known as the first temple in the Tang Dynasty. One of the important reasons for this is that the Great Ci'en Temple is a temple for the common people, not a royal temple, and the royal temple of the Tang Dynasty is Famen Temple!

Since Xuanzang sat in the temple, he set a rule for the Great Ci'en Temple, the temple does not make friends with powerful people, and does not receive royal relatives and nobles. If the royal family wants to worship the Buddha, they can only go to the Famen Temple. This rule was jointly formulated by the imperial court and the Great Ci'en Temple. Even if you are an imperial concubine, you can't enter and leave the Great Ci'en Temple casually.

Where did you think that this Yang Guifei would disguise herself as a man and sneak into the Great Ci'en Temple!

This made Kong Ming very unhappy.

Everyone in Chang'an knows that Yang Guifei believes in Buddhism, and of course there is nothing wrong with believing in Buddhism. Today's debate conference held in the Great Ci'en Temple is a rare Buddhist event in a century, and Yang Guifei is probably full of curiosity and wants to come and watch. It's just that the Great Ci'en Temple has such a rule that it does not accept relatives of the emperor. Therefore, she actually came up with such a trick, pretending to be a samurai, and followed Yang Guozhong in. That Yang Guifei has a graceful figure, and the half-city warrior is also suitable. It seems that this matter was arranged by the emperor. The emperor favored this noble concubine to the point of being unprincipled!

"Who is that young man, and where did he get so daring?" Yang Guozhong asked.

The head of the shed in the west courtyard was also among the monks in front of the hall, and when he heard Yang Guozhong ask, he shouted loudly: "His name is Bu Yunfei, he is a blind stream who lives in the west courtyard, this dog is so bold that he dares to beat his uncle, and he beat me this morning......"

Listening to the crisp sound of "pop", the head of the shed received a solid slap on his face, and his eyes suddenly burst into gold.

"I don't know what to do, go to the vegetable garden for the Buddha to pick up dung!" The law enforcement monk stared at a pair of ringed eyes and shouted.

Today's debate, if it weren't for Bu Yunfei rushing to the stage and giving Xuyuan three fried dates, the Great Ci'en Temple would have been completely planted! The head of the shed didn't understand the Dharma, and he was still making noise. Empty regret is an elder monk, although he is short-tempered, he can also understand the doorway, and know that Bu Yunfei is the benefactor of the Great Ci'en Temple.

"Bu Yunfei? Is he a layman at the Great Mercy and Grace Temple? Yang Guozhong asked.

"This ......" Kong Ming didn't know Bu Yunfei.

The deacon of Zhiketang, Kong Lin, hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from Lord Yang, this Bu Yunfei is just a blind stream who is staying in the shed of the West Courtyard. ”

"Bu Yunfei? A blind stream! Yang Guifei, who was dressed in armor, exclaimed, and her helmet almost fell off.

But he saw Yang Guozhong stand up and said loudly: "Guma National Master, all the envoys, I am an outstanding person in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism is prosperous, and there are thousands of people who study Buddhism!" is an ordinary pilgrim on the West Seat, na, he is just a blind stream living in Chang'an, and he can also go on stage to debate the scriptures. Of course, the defeat of the national teacher of Kuma is still glorious despite the defeat! ”

When Yang Guozhong said this, the envoys of various countries were so shocked that they stuck out their tongues and couldn't make a sound. Everyone understands that the young man's three fried dates are the key to Xuyuan winning this game. Not to mention anything else, that young man's Dharma attainments are staggering. I didn't expect that he was just a blind stream!

In this way, in the Tang Domain, there are more than a million people who are profound in Buddhism!

The Tibetan people actually knocked on the door, isn't it just that the egg touches the stone, asking for their own hardship!

The Japanese envoy took the lead and knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted: "Long live the Great Tang Tian Khan!" ”

The envoys also knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted long live.
