Chapter 61: Wang Weixia
"This little Langjun will give the old man a review quickly, can this person still fail to pay his debts?" The fat old man is a little stubborn.
Xu Chen had no choice but to go back and listen to the old man's chatter, and then he understood what happened.
It turned out that the two of them had an agreement in the early years, the fat old man had a Zen scripture in his hand, a rare boutique, and the thin old man liked Buddhism very much, so he wanted to bring the Zen scripture over, and the two discussed it and reached an agreement, that is, to let the thin old man make a painting in exchange, as a result, when the fat old man gave the Zen Sutra to the thin old man, there was an accident, the two drank wine that day, and they lost the Zen Sutra.
This Zen sutra is more precious, the thin old man who believes in Buddhism is naturally more distressed, since he did not get the Zen sutra, he does not want to paint the fat man, and the fat old man can only paint when he gets the Zen sutra again.
Xu Chen listened to a rough idea, the plot is simple, and it is relatively nonsense, but one thing is still very curious, can the painting made by this thin old man be worth a precious Zen scripture? Unconsciously seeing that these two old men were not ordinary husbands, they instantly became angry.
"Little brother, tell me who cares about this? I obviously handed over the Zen sutra to him, and he didn't keep it himself, so he couldn't rely on me, but this person was clearly cheating, and he actually promised me, but he denied it. ”
This fat old man mouthful a "lai", the thin old man is when nothing to do, for the people who practice Buddhism, the Zen Sutra is indeed a treasure, in their opinion this thing is to achieve psychic, and the Buddha communication shortcut, it is estimated that the thin old man is also unwilling to lose the Zen Sutra, since he can get a copy, naturally he can still get it, do not paint him is forced to find a copy.
This is not praised, and he can't intervene in the matter between the two old men, but the fat old man insists on holding on to himself, and if he has to say a few words, it is not easy to excuse himself.
"The Buddha said: No clouds, Buddha said no clouds." Xu Chen really didn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of these two old men, and he didn't feel that mood, so he thought about this sentence and left it to pass.
When the fat old man heard this, he was a little unhappy, and the thin old man smiled and said, "How is it?" The little brother doesn't care about your, as long as you find me another copy of the Zen Sutra, I can draw ten paintings. Hey, little brother, do you also believe in Buddhism? ”
The thin old man looked at Xu Chen, the sentence just now aroused his interest, in ancient times, he would not easily speak Buddhist language, Xu Chen's sentence "no cloud" seemed to be quite comprehended.
Buddha since Xuanzang introduced the Tang Dynasty, the development is still relatively rapid, to the peak of the Wu Zetian period, Li San came to power after it was contained, by this time it is not very popular, but there are many people who believe in Buddhism.
"The kid only occasionally learns a few words, and does not believe in religion, Zen Sutra has been seen a few times, see the predecessors love this thing so much, but not like a Buddhist believer, Buddhism pays attention to epiphany, see through the state of mind of the red dust, do not like things and do not take their own sorrow of detachment, why should the predecessors be obsessed with a Zen scripture?" Xu Chen simply said it straightforwardly, and the two of them quarreled over a Zen scripture, which was too funny.
"Well said! This little Langjun is actually well versed in this, and your king is still a poet and Buddha, but he is not as good as a kid! The fat old man laughed.
Xu Chen couldn't react when he heard Wang Majie, and he was already surprised when he heard "Poetry Buddha", the thin old man sitting next to him turned out to be Wang Wei!
"You are the legendary king of the great poet of King Maha?" Xu Chen stood up directly and bowed.
It's a little unbelievable, who is Wang Weina, an absolutely well-known figure in the Tang Dynasty, he became famous very early, and he was a talented learner, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, but the officialdom spent his mind for decades, and he was in a state of semi-official and semi-hidden in his later years, but he didn't expect to meet here, no wonder the fat old man exchanged the Buddhist scriptures for the paintings, absolutely super value.
Speaking of Wang Wei, everyone in Chang'an really knows about it, and he is much more famous than Li Bai in the same period, not to mention Du Fu, who is just a hall master who no one cares about. His fame is unimaginable, but I heard from books that this great poet later lived in seclusion in Chang'an Chengnan, living in a temple and concentrating on studying Buddhism.
No wonder this thin old man is so interested in Zen scriptures, as recorded in the history books, Wang Wei in history has been with Buddhism in his later years, Xu Chen thought that it was the class that got the axe just now, and he was ashamed in front of Wang's predecessors, which is a shame.
Li also naturally heard of Wang Wei's name, but he didn't get up and salute Xu Chen, because he was also a prince, and he had to take a shelf when he should take it, even if others didn't know that he was a prince.
"Hehe, the legend is not, Xiao Langjun sit down quickly, old man, I have been retired for many years, this time the saint called me, I only came to Beijing once, I don't want to be exposed by the old man, provoke you to be so courteous." Wang Dashi said with a smile.
"The Buddhism you just said has a certain insight, but the old man thinks that the Zen Sutra is the Buddha's language, and only by learning the Buddha's language can you Zen enlightenment, and only by Zen enlightenment can you be born, so you must not underestimate the Zen Sutra." Wang Wei continued.
Hey, isn't this getting into trouble, Xu Chen just wants to escape from the scene in a gloomy way at the moment, and he can get into it directly if there is a crack in the ground, this person has always existed like his idol, and now he is sitting and talking face to face, and he is excited in his heart.
"The younger generation just said nonsense, and in fact, he didn't study much about Buddhism, so he didn't dare to make a statement." Xu Chen is not modest, but weak-hearted.
"Hey, Xiao Langjun don't be afraid to hear my identity, the old man is devoted to studying Buddhism, but I really hope that there are like-minded people, you think that the law is to study the Buddha, but it doesn't hurt to say." Wang Weidao.
The fat old man laughed: "Haha, you don't have to think that this person has an understanding of the Buddha, just think that he is a scoundrel." ”
This fat man actually choked people when he spoke, but Wang Wei scolded him but didn't say it back, these two old men must have a very personal relationship, otherwise they wouldn't joke unscrupulously.
"The younger generation dared to say it." Xu Chen couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet, and Wang Wei and the fat man cast approving glances.
"The younger generation thinks that the Zen Sutra is Zen heart, what is Zen heart? The Buddha has clouds, talking about the human heart inside, Zen heart outside, all things have their own psychic, Zen heart and refers to no desire, can be understood.
The Zen heart is in the hearts of people, and the Zen scriptures are in the scriptures of people. All things are out of the world, in order to be able to meditate, pay attention to the six roots of purity, and not be disturbed by outsiders.
What the Buddha ignored is that the human heart is complex, the seven emotions and six desires cannot be completely eliminated, and there are emotions when becoming a Buddha, so the Zen mind is inseparable from the world, and the Zen scriptures are also ignorant of the Buddha's words.
The younger generation thinks that since the cultivation of Buddhism cannot avoid the six roots, what is the use of the Zen scriptures? ……”
Xu Chen didn't keep his mouth shut when he said it, this knowledge was a bit complicated, and he almost told Wang Yangming's mind
