Chapter 908: Selflessness
Janice didn't know why, and said curiously: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
Brancie smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's going to stay here for a few days, you'll always see him." Janice felt more and more strange that she didn't know what medicine was sold in Blancie's gourd.
Brancie was thinking about Janice's lifelong event, but Chu Huan had already arrived at Su Niang's yard, the dawn of the morning light shone down, the yard was very quiet, Chu Huan went to the front of the house lightly, pushed the door in, the door was not closed, and when he arrived at the house, he saw Su Niang sleeping in clothes, and he hadn't woken up yet, he didn't know that Su Niang had waited for almost the whole night last night, and he was anxiously waiting, not knowing if Chu Huan came back, and he fell asleep in a daze not long ago.
Chu Huan was afraid of waking up Su Niang, so he walked out lightly, arrived in the courtyard, took a few deep breaths, and thought that the emperor probably didn't sleep all night last night, and he probably had to rest and recuperate during this day, although the emperor said that he wanted to summon himself when he turned back, but he should not summon him for a while, and was about to go back to his house to rest for a while, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of another house in the courtyard that seemed to be still lit up, he was stunned at first, but suddenly remembered that it was where the little nun Rulian lived.
Although Chu Huan and Su Niang have the name of husband and wife, they are not husband and wife, after Su Niang came to the capital, she did not live in the same room with Chu Huan, but Xiao Rulian and Su Niang lived in the same courtyard.
This little nun is usually silent, Chu Huan returned to Beijing for most of the day, but he still didn't see her, couldn't help but walk to Rulian's door, saw the light in the house, and didn't know if the little nun had just gotten up, knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the door opened a gap, and one eye inside looked out, and when she saw Chu Huan, the door suddenly opened, and Rulian said with a happy face: "Chu...... Brother Chu, are you back? ”
Chu Huan smiled and asked, "Little sister, did you just get up?" ”
Rulian nodded, Chu Huan came over suddenly, she looked very happy, but under the excitement, she didn't know what to say, Chu Huan had already said with a smile: "Don't stay in the house all day long, come out and walk around often, don't suffocate your body." ”
Rulian nodded obediently, and finally said softly: "I...... I'm chanting, so I got up early, Brother Chu, will you come in and sit? ”
Chu Huan thought about it, and ran into the girl's house early in the morning, which seemed a little inappropriate, but thinking that this girl was silent on weekdays and not good at interacting with people, since she came over, it was okay to say a few words with the little girl, and entered the house with a smile, and when she arrived at the house, she smelled a smell of sandalwood.
Although Rulian's green silk has grown well, with jet-black hair, she looks like a beautiful little girl, but she has always regarded herself as a disciple of Buddhism.
Compared with the smell of the fragrance of fat powder in the Su Niang house, the lotus house is much more elegant, the house is lit, etc., there is a small copper incense burner on the table, which is full of clouds, but it is burning sandalwood, sandalwood wafts out from it, floating in every corner of the house, in addition to the copper incense burner, there is also a scripture on the table, the scripture is opened, Rulian is obviously reciting, next to the scripture, is a string of small Buddha beads.
Chu Huan thought to himself that he always thought that Rulian would be very uncomfortable in the house every day, but there was a good saying, Zi Feiyu knew the joy of fish, he was not Rulian, and he might not be able to understand Rulian's state of mind.
"Huh?" Chu Huan sat down at the table, glanced at the scriptures casually, frowned, and only saw the words on the scriptures, which were very special, and they didn't seem to be the original words.
He couldn't help but get closer, sure enough, this scripture looked very thin, only about twenty pages, but the scriptures on it were extremely strange, Chu Huan had never seen such words before, and he couldn't understand a single word of the scriptures on it.
"Little sister, what kind of scripture is this?" Chu Huanqi said: "The words on this ...... Why can't I read it? ”
Rulian didn't seem to expect Chu Huan to be interested in a scripture, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Big brother, this is ...... This is the [Selfless Sutra]! ”
"[Selfless Sutra]?" Chu Huan was stunned, he had really never heard of this scripture, thinking that he was not a disciple of Buddhism after all, and there were thousands of Buddhist scriptures, and he had never heard of it, which was also a reasonable thing.
Rulian nodded slightly, sat down next to her, and asked, "Big brother, haven't you heard of it?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head.
"The Sutra of Selflessness is the second sutra that the Buddha displayed in the world after his enlightenment, and it is five days away from the first sutra taught by the Buddha, the Zhuan Falun Sutra." Rulian explained: "There is no self, no one, no sentient beings, no longevity, this is what the Buddha called the self, which is the origin ......of the self that does not arise or perish, does not increase or decrease, is impure and pure, and has no action and no thoughts!" Rulian spoke softly, and when she said this, she stopped, as if she understood that she was saying this, for Chu Huan, who had not practiced Buddhism, it was playing the piano to the cow, a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Big brother, I ......!" ”
Chu Huan smiled, but still asked, "Little sister, I see that the words on it are very strange, can you understand it?" ”
Rulian raised her head, looked solemn, and explained: "Big brother, the original Buddhism also came from the West. The holy land of the Buddha, in the far west, the master said, there is a Tianzhu country, the original Tianzhu sage preached, from the west Tianzhu to the east, along the way all over the blessings, universal Dharma, they promote the Dharma, not only to preach on the altar, but also to spread the scriptures and ......! ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, thinking that although the historical trajectory of this time and space was deviated, the Buddha Kingdom Tianzhu still existed after all.
"There were some Tianzhu sages who came to Yuan and spread the Dharma, and they brought scriptures and scrolls, so the scriptures of that time are still circulating in Yuanyuan today." Rulian said solemnly: "These scriptures passed from Tianzhu were later translated into Chinese, but they also preserved a lot of the original Tianzhu, Buddhism, and these were originally called Sanskrit. ”
Chu Huan hurriedly asked: "Your [Selfless Sutra] is the original Brahman?" ”
Rulian nodded and said, "Yes." This is the scripture that the master left for me before he left. ”
"Little sister, do you mean that you also know Brahman?" Chu Huan's eyes lit up.
Rulian's cheeks were slightly red, and after thinking about it, she said: "The master said that Fanbo is profound and profound, and it is not easy to learn Fanfa. From the time I can remember, I have been with the master, serving the Buddha, the master took me to chant the Buddha every day, and when I was five years old, the master began to bring the ancient Sanskrit books and teach me the Sanskrit ......! ”
"Lingjia is too good at Brahma?"
Rulian nodded and said, "Yes." The master's Sanskrit attainments are very deep, big brother, in fact, the original temples and nuns, whether it is a monk or a bhikshuni, not many people know Sanskrit, the master is very powerful, after I remember, I followed the master in five or six nunnery to place orders, these nunnery, also have the Sanskrit texts handed down earlier, but the bhikshunis in the nunnery do not understand, even if there are those who understand, they are only half-understood, those Sanskrit texts, are thrown in the most inconspicuous corner of the scripture library, no one cares. Seeing Chu Huan staring at herself, Rulian was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, Chu Huan also seemed to feel a little out of shape, laughed, and said, "Little sister, I can listen attentively, don't be surprised." He asked, "You said you were placing orders in a lot of nunnery?" ”
Rulian raised her head, smiled shyly, and bowed slightly: "In the early years, we were not in Yunshan Mansion, we were to Jinling Road, and we also went to Hebei Road, and then went to Yunshan Mansion on Xishan Road...... But before we could leave, the master suddenly fell ill ......! Speaking of this, it seems that I think of the difficult situation at the beginning, moaning a little choked, and my eyes are even a little red.
Although she is a monk, and the monk pays attention to the four emptiness, but she is young, although she is very in awe of the Buddha, but at a young age, where can she see through the red dust, throw away the seven emotions and six desires, although the mouth recites that everything is empty, but there are many things in her heart, at least Lingjia Master is unforgettable in her heart.
Chu Huan's expression was slightly gloomy, Rulian seemed to blame herself for affecting Chu Huan's mood, smiled reluctantly, and changed the topic: "We are in the nunnery where we are staying, the master will take me to the sutra library to read the sutras, and the other bhikshunis will leave the Sanskrit scriptures aside and ignore them, but the master will only look for those Sanskrit texts, and after finding the Sanskrit texts, he will secretly teach me to learn Sanskrit...... The master and I never talked nonsense in the nunnery, and the other bhikshunis didn't care about us, so the master taught me Brahma, and others didn't know about it, and the master also warned me not to show my ability to understand Brahmanism in front of others......! He lowered his head slightly and said softly: "But what if the master ...... If you're still there, you won't care about the ...... I tell your big brother! ”
Chu Huan sighed lightly: "It turns out that Master Lingjia actually has such a great knowledge. Little sister, has Master Lingjia ever told you how she understands Sanskrit? ”
Rulian shook her head and said softly: "The master didn't say it, but I never asked, the master is good to me, and whatever she asks me to do, it's all for my good, so I will learn whatever she tells me to learn." It's just that my knowledge is not deep, and it is very difficult to learn Sanskrit, I am too stupid, and I always can't learn ......! ”
Chu Huan looked at the [Selfless Sutra] scripture in front of him, twisting and turning, not saying that he was learning, he was dizzy when he looked at it, and exclaimed: "Little sister, don't be presumptuous, you are smart and clever, you started to study Sanskrit at the age of five, and now you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, you are displaced, and you learn intermittently, but this scripture can already be understood, it is really amazing, if it were me, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it in my lifetime." ”
Rulian blinked, her eyelashes flickered, and asked, "Big brother, are you...... Do you want to learn Sanskrit? ”
