Chapter 113: Disheartened
The last time it came out quickly, but this time, it took nearly half an hour for the five referees to come out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. When it came out, it seemed that there was still something arguing.
When the five referees came out, they followed the nuns outside the main hall to hold umbrellas for them, including a young nun holding an oil-paper umbrella behind the presiding Zen master Dexin.
After the referee sat down, Zen Master Dexin coughed lightly and said, "This time the competition is very fierce, and both sides have written very wonderful verses. It's hard to tell the difference. Next, the poor nun first reads the poems of both sides, and then announces the results of the round. ”
He first read out that he was the master of Zhishui. As soon as he heard the poem she recited, Xiao Jiading immediately affirmed that this poem was written by Lu Zhaolin, although he had not recited this poem, but he had seen it and had some impressions. The poem is very long, and the last eight lines of it go like this:
Talk about 12 parts, and nucleate 5,000 texts.
If there is a lot of ambiguity, the biological atmosphere is dense.
The ancients had dross, and the wheel was not shared.
And the matter is Zhixuan, from my good clouds.
This poem integrates poetry, Zen and learning, and is written beautifully and colorfully. Among them, the twelve parts of the "Twelve Talks of Heights" are the classification of Buddhist classics. The 5,000 texts of "5,000 texts" are Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", and "such as a number of obscurity" means that the teachings of Buddhism are broad and profound, and it is difficult to understand them all. "The atmosphere of biology and physiology", but the way of natural change is clear to the heart. The whole poem is written about the author's perception in the ancient temple in the mountains, Lu Zhaolin believed in Buddhism in his later years, but when he was young, his research on Buddhism was not thorough. The last two sentences are written about taking refuge in nature and planting Ganoderma lucidum according to what you want and love.
This poem is also more famous among Zen poetry. It is written with a detached attitude to life. Full of worldly Zen machines.
Therefore, Zen Master Dexin highly praised this Zen poem, and the Zhishui Master who listened to the explanation on the side finally smiled. But seeing Lu Zhaolin's tense face below, she couldn't help but worry again. Squinted at Huiyi, could it be that this little hoof actually wrote a poem that was even more Zen than his own? Impossible, right?
After some admiration, Zen Master Dexin finally picked up Huiyi's Zen poem. All the people in the room listened attentively and with their ears pricked up.
Zen Master Dexin slowly chanted:
You testify to me, and your heart testifies to your will.
It's undocumented, Skoyun is proven.
There is no cloud proof, it is a foothold.
No foothold. It's square clean.
This Zen poem was jointly written by Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", which means: You figure out me, I figure out you, each is exploring and verifying each other's true emotions, which is actually meaningless. There is only no need to be outside the body, and there is no verification. In order to participate in the Zen machine. Proven to be superior. When the realm of all realms returns to emptiness and there is no proof to speak of, it is the realm of life and life. In fact, this is not the highest state, only when the heart even forgets the state of settling down and establishing a life, that is the real epiphany and becoming a Buddha.
If you want to talk about the Zen machine and Zen theory in the poems, it is natural that "Dream of Red Mansions" is said thoroughly, but. From what point of view, Lu Zhaolin's Zen poems do not directly talk about how to have an epiphany, but from ordinary things say such a profound Zen principle as taking refuge in nature. There is also another artistic conception. Moreover, Jia Baoyu's poem has a bit of a word game. Judging from the gorgeous rhyme of the poem, it naturally cannot be compared with Lu Zhaolin's one. That's why the five referees argued.
The main reason why Xiao Jiading chose this poem is that there are too few Zen poems in his stomach. There's really no better way to take it out. After hearing Zen Master Dexin highly praise Lu Zhaolin's poem, he felt a little bad, but fortunately he heard Zen Master Dexin say: "This poem by Huiyi's little nephew not only analyzes Zen thoroughly, but also connects with her previous poem The poem writes about the contradiction between practice and secular love. Only then can we get rid of the troubles and pains caused by these feelings, and only then can we be liberated, and finally become a Buddha with great enlightenment. ——Huiyi's little nephew can have such a feeling, which is gratifying. Both of you are very brilliant in both Zen poems, so the five judges argued for a long time, and finally ruled that you won by a score of 3 to two, and the decisive reason why you could finally win was your understanding. Zen Master Wuliang, Du Yuan Juan and Bi Yuan Juan appreciated your progress, so they finally voted for you. ”
As soon as he heard the last sentence, the stone hanging in Xiao Jiading's heart fell to the ground. Lu Zhaolin must have voted for himself, and Shi Xuanji seems to be dismissive of this kind of perception that only by putting aside the love between men and women can he finally be liberated, so he did not support Huiyi.
This victory was very difficult and lucky, but I didn't expect it to be because this poem was secretly in line with the love poem of Cangyang Gyatso before, which showed Huiyi's cultivation of putting aside her emotions and concentrating on her cultivation, and won the appreciation of the three judges, so she finally won.
In fact, it was a fluke, this poem was written in frustration after Jia Baoyu had an awkward fall with Lin Daiyu. The opening chapter is about the mutual speculation of the two. In the hearts of the judges who do not understand the origin of the poem, the immeasurable Zen master will naturally associate this opening with the artistic conception described in Huiyi's previous poem, from which there is sympathy for the right and admiration for her subsequent epiphany. In the end, she won the game.
When Zhishui Master heard that he had lost this argument again, he couldn't help but change his face and stared at Lu Zhaolin angrily. Lu Zhaolin was also helpless, but he really didn't expect Huiyi to be able to write two wonderful works in a row.
Huiyi was already full of feelings about Xiao Jiading's poem that made him have an epiphany, but now, after listening to Zen Master Dexin's explanation, he believes that Xiao Jiading actually has no feelings for himself, he just hopes that he can continue to practice, instead of flying with him.
Then, Zen Master Dexin said: "Now, let's have the last extra, that is, the final round!" It is still up to both sides to write the items they wish to compete. ”
Zhishui Shitai naturally writes Zen principles and poems, and she also estimated that Lu Zhaolin may not be very good at writing Zen poems, but his gorgeous poems are widely circulated. So she made up her mind this time, if the two of them are the same again, say that they don't write any Zen poems, they must draw lots according to the rules, and if they catch Zen principles, she will be sure of herself. If you catch poetry again, as long as you don't write Zen poems, with the name of Lu Zhaolin, the first genius in the capital, you can beat Huiyi, the little girl, no matter what!
Unexpectedly, Zen Master Dexin read the choice of both sides, and Huiyi chose martial arts and poetry this time! In other words, poetry is a common choice of both sides, and this is the project of the finals of both sides.
Huiyi was disheartened and had some thoughts of giving up on herself, so she did not give the choice to God this time, but to Xiao Jiading. - Since you have made up your mind to make me the head of the sect, then I will let you send me to the highest position in the Buddhist sect as you wish, and I don't want to marry you again.
Huiyi's choice made Xiao Jiading, who didn't know the thoughts of Lu Dao's daughter, very happy, he believed that this time there would be no more Zen poetry, as long as it was a normal poem, he was completely sure to defeat Lu Zhaolin and send Huiyi to the throne of the head!
However, something unexpected happened. Zen Master Wuliang stood up and came up with a bad idea: "This competition is to compete for the position of the head of the Emei faction, and the poor Ni Gong is the elder of the Emei faction, so this time the topic will be given by the poor Ni, I don't know if it's possible?" ”
This request is not too much at all, and the other four judges and the host Zen Master Dexin naturally did not have any objections, and they all nodded in agreement.
Then, the immeasurable Zen master said: "This is the final of the most Lu family, the winner will serve as the head of the sect, this competition, is set by none of the head of the senior sister, so, the most Lu final, please follow the poor nun to the peak, in front of the practice of the master sister of the head of the family to make poems, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort to the head of the sister." What do you two think? ”
After hearing this, Huiyi couldn't help but smile sadly and looked at Xiao Jiading.
The two poems of Zhishui Shitai just now shocked her, she thought that they were all made by Zhishui Shitai herself, but she didn't expect that Zhishui's poems were so good. But now she wants to go to the top of the mountain to make poems, as long as Xiao Jiading can't go, leaving his secret help, she wants to surpass Zhishui Shitai in poetry, it is absolutely impossible. Now, I definitely can't be the head of the house, and I know that Xiao Jiading doesn't have himself in his heart, so it is impossible to stay and fly with him, where do I go? I was at a loss.
Lu Zhaolin stood up and said, "That's a good idea, then let's go!" ”
Zen Master Wuliang's eyes were like electricity, swept towards Lu Zhaolin, and glanced at Xiao Jiading intentionally or unintentionally. Said slowly: "The place where the senior sister of the sect is retreating is a forbidden place for this sect, and outsiders cannot enter. So I'm sorry, but the two of them can only be brought up by the poor ni, and the others are waiting here. When it is finished, the poor nun will take down the poem and judge it together. ”
The words of Zen Master Wuliang, coupled with his sharp gaze, made Lu Zhaolin and Xiao Jiading both feel a pang in their hearts: Oops! This old nun must have guessed that someone was secretly helping!
The two guessed well, Zen Master Wuliang is a master of the Emei faction, and she naturally knows the secret technique of sound transmission, although she can't detect who is helping behind, but Lu Zhaolin and Xiao Jiading's poetry is very famous, which makes her doubt the most. So, she decided to put the final at the top of the mountain. The immeasurable Zen master knows the way, no matter how powerful the master is, he can't do the secret transmission to such a long distance. (To be continued......)
