Let's say that Baoyu and Tanchun brothers and sisters chatted very speculatively in Qiushuangzhai, and after listening to Baoyu's words, Tanchun's long-standing knot was completely untied, and he admired his second brother, who pretended to be crazy and stupid on weekdays, and at the same time his heart was warm. For Tanchun, there are not many people who can speak considerably in the house, so there will be no one else except him, the second brother, who can speak to his heart like today.

After the two chatted about their economic careers, they talked about the sisters in the garden. Tanchun smiled: "Second brother, to be honest, there are two things I admire most about my second brother. This is the first thing, the second brother's trick "don't use the hidden dragon" is quite the essence of Liu Bei back then, I have just said it, so I won't mention it for the time being; This second thing is the marriage between the second brother and Sister Lin. At first, I was quite optimistic about you, and I also hoped that the second brother and Sister Lin could have lovers and eventually become married. But later, since the rumor of Jin Yu's good relationship in the house, until Sister Bao participated in the assistant family affairs, everyone in the house thought that the candidate for this second grandmother Bao must be Sister Bao. Who knew that Sister Lin and Lu Li came down together as a Japanese concubine, and there was a shocking reversal. On that day, the expressions of everyone in the house, from the old lady to the maid and the woman, were as if they had been struck by lightning, and they were shocked on the outside and tender on the inside. The sisters in the garden, including me, were a little incredulous. Second brother, can you tell me what happened in between? ”

Baoyu smiled and said, "Third sister, when did I say when did you become so gossipy?" The number of people who know the reason for this matter is no more than a handful of them. If the third sister wants to know the reason, I don't dare to talk nonsense if I ask you Sister Lin to go. If you offend anyone, don't dare to offend Sister Lin, otherwise your second brother will suffer in the future. ”

Seeing Baoyu's pitiful appearance, Tanchun felt a little that the second brother who had just talked about the world's major events, and who looked like "looking at the world, who else should I be", always seemed so unreal, if it wasn't for what she had just seen with her own eyes, otherwise she wouldn't have believed it. Tanchun couldn't help sneering and said: "The second brother will be a strict wife who is afraid of his wife in the future, this Sister Lin hasn't passed the door yet, and she will have it in the future." It seems that in the future, I, as a younger sister, will have to please my sister-in-law, otherwise I will offend my sister-in-law one day, and my second brother will not dare to talk to me in the future......"

Baoyu was a little annoyed and angry by Tanchun's words, and was about to raise her hand to give Tanchun a violent chestnut to eat. When Tanchun saw this posture, he immediately hid away. When the brother and sister were in a lot of trouble, they only heard the maid at the door report from Shutong: "Miss Lin is here." ”

Tanchun immediately walked out quickly, as if he had seen a savior, and took Daiyu's hand affectionately with one hand and smiled: "Sister-in-law came just in time, come and save my sister, someone is angry and wants to bully me......"

Daiyu wore an emerald green palace dress today, with light makeup, which brought out her peerless face like a beautiful mountain and water, like a fairy concubine. Hearing Tanchun call her sister-in-law, Daiyu blushed for no reason. Daiyu saw that it was their brother and sister who were playing, so she chirped: "You brothers and sisters are not good people, don't involve me in your affairs." ”

When Baoyu saw Daiyu coming in, she greeted her with a smile, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, the third sister went to Yihong Courtyard to find me several times, but I was not there, and I haven't seen the third sister for a few days. Sister Lin, is there something wrong with coming to the third sister today? ”

Without waiting for Daiyu to answer, Tanchun preemptively smiled and said: "I don't think my sister-in-law is looking for me, but like she is looking for my second brother, hehe......hee" Daiyu glared at Baoyu, and said angrily: "It's the fourth sister's birthday in two days, you are like a brother who has nothing to do, and you want me to worry about it......"

Baoyu patted his head and smiled: "Look at my memory, I've been so busy lately that I have forgotten, why don't we go to the fourth sister to sit down now and see what she thinks, how about it?" As soon as Baoyu proposed, the two agreed, but the three of them hadn't been to Xichun for some days.

The three of them took the maid and went to the warm incense dock. If you want to go to Nuan Xiangwu, the Lotus Lotus Pavilion is the only way, and the three of them laughed all the way to the Lotus Lotus Pavilion. This lotus root Champs is covered in the pool, there are windows on all sides, there are curved corridors on the left and right, and it is also across the water to connect the shore, and there are zigzag bamboo bridges behind it. Walking across the flickering bamboo bridge, only to see the pair of black lacquer inlaid mussels hanging on the pillar, Baoyu couldn't help but think: "The hibiscus shadow breaks the blue oar, and the water lotus incense writes deep on the bamboo bridge." Tanchun said with a smile: "I think of Sister Xiangyun's return to the table here that day, and the sisters eat a crab feast here, I think it's very interesting, why don't you celebrate the birthday of the fourth sister here the day after tomorrow?" Both Bao Dai and Bao Dai thought it was a good idea, so they decided so happily.

Passing through the Lotus Lotus Pavilion, I arrived at the warm incense dock in a few steps, and saw the three of them coming, and they reported it from afar into the painting. Xichun listened to the report of entering the painting, so he jumped out and greeted the three of them with a smile, and each sat down in order. Seeing that Bao Dai and the three of them came to see her, Xichun was just very happy, and ordered her to bring the good tea to the painting quickly.

Baoyu saw that in addition to painting utensils, most of the items placed on the bookshelves were Buddhist beads, Buddhist scriptures and other objects, and it was very inappropriate to want to cherish the spring when a girl came into contact with these Buddhist things every day, so she had the idea of dialing her to avoid going astray.

Baoyu smiled at Xichun: "I heard that the fourth sister has always liked to participate in Buddhism, and she must have a lot of experience. Today, we are also going to visit the Zen machine. Buddhism talks about birth and accession to the WTO, dare to ask the fourth sister what is the understanding of not knowing this birth and accession? ”

Xichun smiled: "Second brother, this is a test for me." Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes rebirth, and the pursuit of rebirth is to get rid of the troubles and temptations of the world, to find a quiet and quiet place to meditate and practice and achieve a high state, and rebirth requires the practitioner to get rid of all distracting thoughts, to abandon things outside the body, to forget things and self, there is no self outside the body, I am not me, I am not self, I am not self, and the ultimate goal of birth is to cross oneself, that is, to pursue one's own liberation. Contrary to Hinayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the entry into the WTO, and through the practice of entering the WTO, the masses are educated in order to achieve positive results. ”

Baoyu continued: "Does the fourth sister think that the monk is considered a birth? Xichun's eyes rolled, tilted his head and thought for a while, "It should be counted, right?" "Fourth sister, sure?" "I'm sure." "Then let's make a bet, if you lose, you will have less contact with these Buddhist things in the future, how about it?" "If I have studied for so long and even this is wrong, it means that I really have no wisdom root and have no relationship with the Buddha, then that's it."

Baoyu said with a smile: "Actually, many people don't need to figure it out, being a monk is just a form, and being a monk may not be considered a birth, but it is also a practice in the earthly world.

If a monk can be called a monk, then a bald head can be called a monk. The people we are accustomed to seeing enter the temple have not really understood Hongchen since ancient times, and they enter the temple just to escape from the world. What's more, it is in the name of the monk's temple to collect money.

The Buddha once said to his wife, Yajendra, "I am a monk for the sake of sentient beings, for the sake of everyone in this world of samsara, and I only go out to a small family." And Yajendhara, our little family is one of these people, am I not for you? ”

The Buddha did not really stay in any temple, he often went into the homes of the poor, the houses of the rich; He stopped the war and told those who have love to cherish the love of a pure heart and to love all beings with this love. At one time, these actions were considered to be detached from the root of the Dharma, contrary to detachment and enlightenment. However, the true Buddhahood lies in these worldly dusts.

If the monk is not for the sake of everyone, but for himself, for the sake of avoidance, for the sake of flies and dogs, then the monk is not born; And the real realisation that a Buddha should do in mundane things, and realize that he has not been a monk when he enters the world. ”

After Baoyu finished speaking, Daiyu and Tanchun couldn't help but clap their hands and applaud: "Second brother, these remarks are very incisive, according to this, Miaoyu is not a real monk, she is actually still in the world." ”

Xichun thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "You all have a good point. It seemed so simple, but I didn't understand it before? It seems that I really don't have the root of wisdom, and I have no relationship with the Buddha, but that's it. ”

Baoyu said with a smile: "Sister Lin and Third Sister's remarks are indeed right. Let me tell you a story. A friend of mine decided to go to the mountains and forests alone to live in a thatched tent and become a monk. In fact, he divided the mountains and forests into two things, and the mountains and forests are also the world! In fact, the mountain and forest cultivation is not as comfortable as the world.

In order to save the trouble of washing dishes, he bought a hundred sets of chopsticks to take with him, and the water had to go over the two mountains to get it, because he didn't know how to pick it, and he almost splashed it when he picked it back, and only carried it with two hands, and it took half an hour to carry two buckets of water each time. The mountains are full of white clouds, there are no gods in the clouds, they are all wet, and the clothes on their bodies are wet, so they have to eat chili peppers and ginger to diverge. Others such as rice, taro, vegetables, oil, and salt had to be bought at the bottom of the mountain. I cook and eat by myself, and I am almost so tired that I don't want to meditate after eating. The bowls that have been eaten are soaked in water, and it is half a day to wash them. Finally, when the weather is fine, where can I meditate, hurry up and fetch firewood, and dry it in the sun while the weather is good. I thought I would go up the mountain and practice hard and meditate a lot, but after five or six months, I sat down less than five or six times, so you! I threw my things away and went down the mountain.

Who is going to live in a thatched tent that can stand it? Once, three of their friends went up the mountain to live in a thatched tent together, and the result was even worse, in response to the old saying, "One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat." ”

From this, who can jump out of the world? Even if you live alone, someone has to go down the mountain to buy a bag of salt! You ask someone to work out a person, and you still haven't left the world. The ancients said that a person is 'left behind and independent', and that is very, very difficult. ”

Daiyu suddenly interjected: "Actually, I feel that the real Dharma is still in the world, and the Sixth Patriarch said: "The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world." Leaving the world to find Bodhi is just like asking for a rabbit's horns.

There is no place in the world where there is no Dharma. Although Buddhism says that Buddhism is about to decline in the era of the end of the Dharma, the Buddha does not talk about the end of the Dharma, the image of the Dharma, and the Dharma at all in the Mahayana scriptures. The Dharma is immortal in the world, and the truth does not change in the world, but it is expressed differently in different places and at different times. It doesn't have to be this image, it's not necessarily this religion, but it's all about Buddhism. ”
