The Dharma Buddha Association was held as scheduled, and this top event of Zen Buddhism, the four famous temples plus the Cloud Gate, a total of five senior monks debated on the same stage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 600-seat hall of the Zhending Theater was full, but in fact, the walls, the corridors, and the front and back of the stage were all crowded with people.

Longxing Temple Ruo Pan Zen Master, Big Buddha Temple Lin Miao Zen Master, Min Zhong Temple Chayin Zen Master, Guanyin Temple Landuo Zen Master, Yunmen Zen Master, divided into plum blossom seat.

First of all, the Zen master Ruo Pan took the lead in speaking, and he held a red flower and said, "If you smile like a flower, where is it coming?" ”

The story of the smile is well known to the world, and it is the origin of the Buddha's enlightenment in Zen Buddhism. And until the sixth ancestor Hui Neng is a single transmission of Zen Buddhism. Yunmen thought to himself that this was a flower, and the weight of this flower could be compared to the sun and the moon, and a careless response would be spurned.

If you compare yourself to a Buddha, it has two meanings, the first Buddha has thousands of incarnations, if you are a Buddha, if a Buddha is like that, you can do it. Second, if you pretend to be a Buddha, even if you are smiling, then there is no Buddha, everything is empty. Both sides draw the road, and whether it is positive or negative, it is a trap no matter which way is drilled.

Cloud Gate stood up and smiled at Ruo, a smile that contained prophetic and tolerant meaning that only one person knew.

If it is so shocking, this Cloud Gate is simply a god? As soon as I finished smiling, he actually gave me a smile back? What do you mean? I don't think he knows my topic, oh, seeing him smile so proudly, someone must have missed it.

If he suddenly realized, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Yunmen in his heart and smiled back.

The two have a clear understanding of each other, a thorough understanding of Zen, and a perfect interpretation of the allusion to the smile of the flowers.

The people in the lobby may not understand it very well, but several well-known Zen masters already know that this Cloud Gate is really powerful, and they defeated Ruo Pan without taking a nap for a moment.

Zen Master Lin Miao immediately cheered up and came up and said, "Yunmen, why are you here?" ”

Cloud Gate bowed down and said, "Don't ask"

Zen Master Lin Miao immediately shouted "Woo", and at the same time took out a stick from behind and slashed at the head. This is an allusion to the head of the drink.

Yunmen also shouted "duh", and also took out a stick and went back.

Lin Miao didn't expect that Yunmen's counterattack was so swift, and the strength in his hand was insufficient, and the stick actually flew out.

Master Lin Miao, who was taken aback, also understood the fact that Cloud Gate had prepared the answer in advance. In the face of Yunmen's counterattack, the rhetoric originally prepared by Zen Master Lin Miao was useless, but he still generously said, "Good!" And he went back to his roots.

In fact, Zen Master Lin Miao's stick drink and flower smile are the same as epiphany, but one is the inner self-epiphany, and the other is the external force that prompts him to have an epiphany, and the means are different.

Yunmen uses a stick to drink and fight back with a stick, which is to show that he is not an epiphany, but a gradual enlightenment, which is the accumulation of experience and Sanskrit practice. Therefore, Master Lin Miao praised Yunmen for being good.

Then there is Chayin Zen Master, or the old classics, "Can a truly determined dog have Buddha nature?" ”

Yunmen knew that this was the third figure dog, so he replied "I don't know"

Many people were taken aback, and this unknown answer was different from what everyone had previously recognized. Zhaozhou Zen Master has no matter what can be described as a classic of Zen meditation, but now Yunmen actually doesn't know? Is it going to give rise to a new round of enlightenment?

Cha Yin is a master after all, and after a little thought, he then asked, "Can a true dog have Buddha nature?" ”

Yunmen said again: "The dog knows himself. ”

This answer can be described as flat, and the theater suddenly resounded with a buzz. Many of the audience members of the Zen meditation audience became more interested, and they began to exchange and discuss this issue.

Cloud Gate clasped his hands together and signaled to Cha Yin to finish.

Cha Yin suddenly understood that this was a new kind of talking head. Yunmen used two different answers to arouse his own doubts, which caused controversy on a larger scale, which is the original intention of Zen meditation.

If there is no doubt, how can you persistently chant the Buddha. Amitabha Buddha 10,000 times, and a Buddha are shit, and there is no one who is higher or who is lower. Because once there is superiority and inferiority, there are advantages and disadvantages, it is not Zen.

immediately returned the salute and returned to the seat, which can be regarded as an endorsement of Yunmen's reply.

Zen Master Lando was tall and fat, like a Buddha statue, stood up with a smile and saluted the Cloud Gate, pointed to the small bunting arranged above the theater and said, "Flags? Heart? Got a flag? Hatless? ”

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng's heart-moving theory is that all things in Mahayana Buddhism are empty, and the fundamental teachings of all idealism can no longer be argued, and it is used as the finale to make it difficult for Yunmen.

Sure enough, the four masters in order to participate in Zen, flowers, sticks, dogs, flags, as long as you get Lando, Yunmen Zen Temple will also be among the famous temples.

If Yunmen was not prepared, it would naturally be necessary to fall into deep thought, and since Han Wang managed to get the exam questions, he would naturally be prepared.

"The flag is still the same, the heart is far away, immovable and immortal, only I will survive."

As soon as this sentence came out, Ruopan, Lin Miao, and Cha Yin got up at the same time, and chanted together with Lan Duo, "Immovable and indestructible, only I will last forever"

They can all feel the heart of Cloud Gate, the flag is the flag, and it has not changed. The heart is not moving. If you keep your original mind and don't change to the original intention of the Buddha no matter how the environment changes, your mind will be able to live forever like the Dharma.

This is a kind of supreme enlightenment of being a Buddha, I am a Buddha, a Buddha is me, and when I reach such a state, I am the real enlightened monk.

Therefore, the four eminent monks recited verses together to show respect, which also represents the identification of Yunmen Zen Master and the establishment of Yunmen Zen Temple's status as a private temple. However, this is the recognition of the Zen world, as for the connections and incense, it is necessary to rely on the monks of Yunmen and other temples to purify sentient beings in the world and cultivate good karma.

These four debates did not take a long time, only about an hour from beginning to end, but they were extremely profound in their understanding of Zen and Buddhism. Perhaps some of the dialogues hide the difficult origins of Buddhist scriptures. In particular, the great break of Yunmen, with the belief of being a Buddha, has become an idol in the minds of everyone.

Although I have obtained the questions of the four famous temples through various means, it is extremely difficult to be ingenious in this classic Zen allusion. But Cloud Gate did it, and it didn't do it ordinarily well.

Even Han Wang had to say that this Cloud Gate was indeed a rare Huigen in a hundred years. The in-depth understanding of Buddhism, the internal and external seals have been perfectly interpreted in his hands, and Yunmen has become a high-ranking monk and deserves his name.

It is believed that soon, the news of the Zhending Zen Debate Conference will spread all over the country, and the prosperity of Yunmen Zen Temple is just around the corner. The corresponding Zhending will also become a well-known hot spot throughout the country, at least in the north, there will be a place for cultural exchanges in the Buddhist community.

There was an quid pro quo between Mingde and Yunmen, Han Wang supported the rise of Buddhism in Zhending and even in the north, and Yunmen ensured that the Buddhist community treated Han Wang well, as for how far Han Wang could go, it depended on his own ability.

In this situation, a stone in Mingde's heart fell to the ground, and he said to Han Wang, "Don't worry about it!" (To be continued.) )
