At the beginning of the night, the starlight is dotted, the gentle evening breeze gently flows in the Diancang Mountain, and the faint Zen fragrance lingers in the Tianlong Temple. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the holy land of Dali, compared with Shaolin, the architectural decoration in Tianlong Temple does not know how much it is prosperous. Gilded Buddha statues, the main hall of the high-rise not to mention for the time being, that is, in the backyard Zen room area, Shaolin only has some ordinary pines, cypresses, plants, flowers, birds, fish and stones, dotted in the courtyard. But in Tianlong Temple, the backyard meditation room, pavilions, rockeries and clear pools, are covered with precious flowers and trees.

At the beginning of April, the flowers that are vying to open have not yet been defeated, and the backyard of the entire Tianlong Temple, at this time, is officially full of flowers, when the fragrance is pleasant, it is very enchanting.

An independent small courtyard in the depths of the backyard is the residence specially arranged by Master Yideng for the Tianyuan monk and the Dusk brothers.

At the beginning of the night light, the courtyard where the two were located opened its door, allowing the cool night breeze to wander freely in the courtyard.

In the open space of the courtyard, two futons were placed, and in the starry sky, the two brothers and sisters sat down casually against the backdrop of the blooming mandala flowers competing with each other and chasing me, as if they were waiting for something.

The mandala flower is the national flower of Dali, and it can be embellished in the Tianlong Temple, and it is the nobility of the mandala flower. The brilliant colors and rich fragrance of flowers make the courtyard full of a drunken smell of gold, making it look not like the Zen courtyard of Tianlong Temple, but like the royal palace in Dali City.

Although I have lived for a few days, I feel that Tianlong Temple can be said to be the ultimate prosperity, and I can't help but secretly sigh at dusk, we Shaolin, we are really poor enough!

I don't know why as soon as I finished dinner, Senior Brother Tianyuan pulled himself to sit in the courtyard, didn't speak, just sat like this.

Dusk wonders very much, is it because he is too jumpy today, or he is too impetuous, pretending to fail, and the senior brother wants to pull himself to cultivate his heart!

Puzzled, he glanced at the senior brother who folded his hands and closed his eyes silently, and at dusk he dragged his cheeks boredly with one hand and rummaged through the Buddhist scriptures on his knees with the other.

"Ahh

Just as the dusk was boringly flipping, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard, slowly approaching from far and near.

"It's still here!" I had a premonition in my heart, and when I heard the footsteps at this time, my tired spirit at dusk suddenly lifted, my eyes lit up, and I whispered.

"Yes, it's still here..." The junior brother is right, it seems that the monks of Tianlong Temple have not all good intentions towards themselves and their junior brothers from Shaolin! In the eyes that opened, a light flashed, and the monk Tianyuan murmured softly.

When I came to the front of the small courtyard, I saw that the gate of the courtyard was so open, and the monk who came was stunned, and after turning his eyes, he found that Tianyuan and the young man who stood up in the courtyard leisurely, and after understanding in his heart, a trace of embarrassment could not help but appear on his face.

However, the embarrassment was only fleeting, stabilized his mood, stepped into the courtyard, and after the monk bowed slightly to Tianyuan, he said: "The little monk is harmonious, and in the words of the master of the lamp, invite the two to get together!" ”

"Amitabha, then it's troublesome for Master Xianghe to lead the way!" Glancing at the playful smile on Dusk's face, Monk Tianyuan, who had already been mentally prepared in his heart, nodded and said softly.

"Please..."

Following the monk Xianghe, the two brothers walked through the layers of courtyards before they came to a courtyard that looked very simple compared to the surrounding buildings.

Although I have been here more than once in the past few days, I usually bring myself here by one of the fishermen under the seat of Master Yideng. But today, the leader is Wu Yu, who was defeated in the hands of the master of Kongming in the discussion of Buddhism today, and his master Xianghe personally led the way, so the purpose of bringing the two of them here today is probably not as simple as the usual exchange of Buddhism!

The white sky master and the Wu delusion on the Buddha are just foreplay, whether it is the master of the empty sky or the monk Wu Yu, they are just young monks. The junior disciple of Kongming is not low, although he is a disciple of the Kongzi generation, but he has only been getting started for more than half a year, and he is also a lay disciple, so he can't represent Shaolin at all. And Wuxuan is needless to say, he is older than Kong Ming, but he is only the sixth generation disciple of Tianlong Temple now, even if he is the leader of the six generations of disciples, he is not qualified to replace Tianlong Temple with his identity.

Therefore, it is just a discussion of the Buddha in the realm of essays, and no matter who wins or loses in emptiness and innocence, it will not have any impact on the relationship between the two parties.

But he is different, as a disciple of the abbot of Shaolin, in this case, he came to Tianlong Temple to watch the ceremony, which originally represented the entire Shaolin. If you have a discussion with the monks of Tianlong Temple, regardless of the outcome for the time being, whether you win or lose, just your own identities may represent the faces of both parties.

Even if he has no competitive heart for the Buddha, but he is responsible for the face of the entire Shaolin, in this case, how dare he relax his vigilance, dare not go all out, because he understands that the current Shaolin, can no longer afford to lose!

If you lose again, I'm afraid that Shaolin will even lose the status of the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism!

Taking a deep look at the courtyard, under the gesture of Xianghe, he exhaled a breath of depression, and in the surprised gaze of dusk, the monk Tianyuan calmed down many thoughts in his heart, and the momentum on his body suddenly soared, and he slowly stepped into the courtyard.

Come on, let yourself represent Shaolin, and the monks of Tianlong Temple, come to a real Zen discussion!

…

On Zen is the fourth realm of the Buddha, and it is also the most uncertain and indescribable state of argumentation in the Buddha.

Different from the three theories of literature, righteousness, and reason, no matter how you debate literature, righteousness, and reason, in the final analysis, you rely on arguments

The source is the sutras, the scriptures. Whether it is a thesis, a treatise, or a theory, it is always impossible to escape the constraints of the scriptures, and it is always based on the scriptures, arguing and extending outward.

But what about Zen?

The essay is about the text of the Buddhist scriptures, on the righteousness, on the meaning of the scriptures, on the reason, on the truth of the righteousness, and what is about Zen!

If you want to talk about Zen, you must first know what Zen is!

There is no image in ten directions, and there is no trace in six directions.

Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements.

One is higher, one step at a time.

Sitting down on the Buddha's pass, but lost the way to come.

Some people say that "Zen" is meditation, and the name is established according to the body, and the body of Zen is silent and has the use of deliberation, so it is called meditation.

Some people also say that "Zen" is thinking, and the name is established according to the cause, which means that the study of single-minded thinking is the cause and can be centered, so it is called thinking cultivation.

That's why they say, "Zen" is "mind", meditation is meditation, zazen is meditation, ritual meditation is the mind, and when you talk about Zen, you talk about the heart of the Buddha.

However, when it comes to this, what should the "heart" be?

The monk said that his "heart" was "Buddha", the Taoist priest said that his "heart" was "Tao", the scholar said that his "heart" was "Confucian", the king said that his "heart" was "people", and the woman said that before marriage, her "heart" was "father", and after marriage, her "heart" was "husband", and in the twilight of life, her heart became "son" again...

Perhaps, we can also say this:

The "heart" of the fisherman is in the rivers and lakes;

The woodcutter's "heart" is in the grass and trees in the mountains;

The farmer's "heart" is in a piece of loess;

The "heart" of a scholar lies in self-cultivation, in the Qi family, in governing the country, and in leveling the world...

In the same way, we can say that the people in the rivers and lakes also have their own "hearts".

The "heart" of the bandit lies in "cool", the heart of the abbot lies in "Yang", the heart of the warrior and chivalrous man lies in the "chivalry", and the reckless heart of the rivers and lakes lies in the "madness"...

Different people have different "hearts", and of course, different people have different "Zen" for them...
