Chapter 40: A Drop of Water
Under the anger, the young man was not polite at all, and it could even be said that it could be said to be a reprimand, which made the monks in the entire hall stunned. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info suppressed their anger, all the monks looked at the angry young man in surprise, and their faces couldn't help showing a trace of thought, half a trace of doubt, and three points of understanding.
To be able to go to the hall tonight in this situation, the monks who are qualified to go to the hall to observe Yichen and Yiye Zen Master discussing Buddhism with Master Tianyuan are probably also the leaders of the young and middle-aged generation in Tianlong Temple, not to mention that their minds are beyond ordinary people, but they will definitely not be stupid.
Maybe just now because of various factors such as contempt or hostility, the monks didn't seriously think about Monk Tianyuan's answer, but at this moment, it was directly pointed out by the angry young man, if they still didn't understand, it was really hopeless!
Swept away the look of shame that emerged on the faces of the surrounding monks, dusk was satisfied with pouting and sat down, hum, I finally know how to make a face, not to be slapped a few times by my senior brother, you monks don't know what a face hurts!
Stopping the turbulent waves in his heart, the face of the distorted Zen Master turned red for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Such a simple question, no matter how you think about it, I can't figure it out, that's all, but now it's good, the truth that I can't figure out due to the obstacle has made this master from Shaolin Tianyuan see through at a glance, is the difference between himself and his Buddhist cultivation really so big!
The Zen master who suffered from loss and gain was entangled in his heart, and he was completely trapped in the demonic obstacle and could not extricate himself. But this kind of thing is not to blame him, after all, this kind of problem, for some people, may not be able to think of a reason, but for some people, it may be a blink of an eye.
Whether you figure it out or not, it has nothing to do with time, perhaps, it has nothing to do with Buddhist cultivation, this kind of problem, the most important thing is to see if you have that pure heart!
Obviously, Tianyuan Monk has!
The atmosphere in the venue became very awkward because of the frenzy of dusk, but as the highest-ranking master of a lamp in the hall, it seemed that he had not noticed the atmosphere that had changed at all, and he still looked at the Tianyuan monk and the dusk master brother with a smile, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Monk Tianyuan was able to answer this question, and Master Yideng was not surprised at all, but this young man's performance was really beyond his expectations! Whether he thought of the answer to the question under the reminder of Master Tianyuan, or whether he understood it from the beginning, he understood it based on the questions that most people in the hall did not understand, it is enough to prove that the little guy's Buddha heart is clearer than most of the monks in Tianlong Temple, and he is indeed a good seedling of cultivating Buddha.
At this moment, Master Yideng was really a little happy to see it, and he had a hint of the idea of accepting apprentices.
Master Yideng looked at him appreciatively, and he didn't notice it at dusk, and now he was like a winning rooster, proudly patrolling around, not hiding the smile on his face at all, as if he was participating in the discussion of Buddha, and it was not Senior Brother Tianyuan who killed the Quartet, but himself.
The already embarrassed Zen Master Yiye felt the young man's slightly provocative gaze, and his face was even more blue and white for a while, and while he was ashamed in his heart, he didn't just admit defeat. After all, although it is just a simple question, it is enough to see the gap between him and Master Tianyuan, continue to compete, the possibility of a leaf Zen master victory is not great, but today before the Buddha has been said to be good, participating in the discussion with the Tianyuan monk, only Yichen Zen Master and him Yiye, Yichen junior brother has been defeated, if he admits defeat now, it means that Tianlong Temple in this relationship between the two reputations of the Buddha, completely failed.
This is the result that Zen Master Kazuha can't just accept it no matter what
Whether it is still unconvinced in his heart, or for the sake of the face of Tianlong Temple, Zen Master Yiye is stubborn and wants to continue this discussion of Buddha.
"Amitabha..." A Buddha horn, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall and stabilizing the state of mind on the verge of collapse, Yiye Zen Master said to the Tianyuan monk with low eyebrows: "Master Tianyuan has a thorough mind, and the poor monk admires!" ”
did not recognize the Buddhist cultivation of Tianyuan monk, but complimented Tianyuan's mind, it is obvious that everyone understands the meaning of Yiye Zen Master, and he has not yet admitted defeat.
The monks in the hall saw that the Zen master of Yiye still refused to admit defeat, and their hearts were half admired and half ashamed, and the admiration was because in order to maintain the honor of Tianlong Temple, Zen Master Yiye would rather abandon his personal face, but also continue to challenge Tianyuan, how the monks did not admire. As for the shame, I'm afraid it's the shame of my current powerlessness...
Stopping Senior Brother Kongming, who wanted to open his mouth to mock, Monk Tianyuan smiled slightly and said, "Master Yiye is polite!" ”
Tianyuan's words can be regarded as acknowledging the compliment of Zen Master Yiye to himself, that is to say, the problem just now has been attributed to the mind, not Buddhism, that is to say, the victory or defeat of this discussion of Buddhism is not yet known.
I don't understand why Senior Brother Tianyuan let it go like this, but Dusk, who has full confidence in Senior Brother, is too lazy to think too much, and gently waved his fists to cheer for Senior Brother Tianyuan.
"Because of this question, the poor monk never gave the donor a satisfactory answer..." A flash of shame flashed, and the Zen master Yiye continued: "The donor has asked another question!" ”
"What's the problem..." I wonder if that person really came to Tianlong Temple to find fault, the corner of his mouth was raised, and Monk Tianyuan asked.
He asked... After a pause, Zen Master Yiye, whose face returned to calm, said: "'The master has a deep knowledge of Buddhism, I don't know if I can make a drop of water never dry up!'" ’”
"A drop of water never dries up!" With a frown, Monk Tianyuan asked, "How did Master Yiye answer!" ”
"Poor monks say that water is like people's life, old age, sickness and death, aquatic life, then storage, water death, then dry, this is the destiny of heaven..." ”
Shaking his head, Monk Tianyuan smiled and said, "That answer from Master Yiye shouldn't have satisfied that donor!" ”
Although Zen Master Yiye's answer is in line with the Buddha's principles and the heart is tolerant of all things, it has been seen from the first question that this benefactor must not be a true believer in Buddhism, and it may be difficult to convince him to answer this question with Buddhist concepts!
"Yes..." Sighing lightly, Yiye Zen Master said helplessly: "Although this benefactor didn't say much, just shook his head and said nothing, but the poor monk understood what he meant, so here, the poor monk asked the master how to make a drop of water never dry up..."
When I first listened to the question of Zen Master Yiye, a trace of playfulness appeared on Dusk's face, and at this moment, seeing that Zen Master Yiye did not really understand this problem, Dusk couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, your sister, this question seems to have been heard of in my previous life, no, it should be a certain language exam, the material in the composition, this is this problem.
Tilting his head, Dusk showed a little playful smile, and complained in his heart, the monks in this game will not all be famous, how can such a simple question not be understood!
Turning his head to look at the familiar expression on Dusk's face, looking at the smile in his eyes, Monk Tianyuan knew in his heart that this junior disciple of his had already thought of the answer, and shook his head, since it is impossible to convince the actual existence from the Buddha's theory, then start from the practical point of view and transfer it to the Buddha's theory!
With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Monk Tianyuan said softly: "If you want a drop of water to never dry up, then put it in the rivers, lakes and seas!" ”
