Chapter 62: Practicing Martial Arts by Day and Learning Literature by Night
The weather suddenly became gloomy, but the pure heart felt extremely happy, lying on the bed, happily thinking: I can get the emperor's favor in this life, and he is so suave, so knowledgeable, so gentle, the key is so rich and rich, the little woman is not very intoxicated with power, all she cares about is knowledge, you know: learning is better than the crown; Moreover, there is no eyesight without knowledge, and the emperor must have studied Chinese culture hard since he was a child, so he was able to discover the little girl I, how extraordinary my knowledge is! What a great eyesight!
Thinking of this, Jingxin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mingcun knew that his sister must have thought of something happy again, so he didn't ask anymore.
Pure Heart really wants to comfort this magical relationship with insomnia! But thinking that I would have to do a solid workout in the afternoon, I had to desperately calm myself down, determined to fall asleep, and had to suggest to myself: What is Zen? It is to eliminate distraction with meditation, to eliminate cranky thoughts with tranquility, meditation does not leave the daily use of human ethics, does not leave food, clothing, housing and transportation, now it is the turn of this girl to take a lunch break, why not rest? Why let yourself fall into the torment of lovesickness? Zen studies, Zen monastery, what are you exactly? Why can't you control the fluttering girl's heart? Why can't you suppress the thoughts of wild thoughts? Zen, Zen, you are enthusiastic about giving people to work together to start a business, why can't you let go of the impetuous and scattered girl's heart? I want to enter a meditative state of mind as soon as possible; It's like a cicada in my hometown, singing the summer hoarsely, singing about the annual growing season, although the summer has passed, but I am in the flower season of my life, should I make myself bloom differently? entangled, you entangle me, I entangle you, emperor; Zen Zen Zen, you can't make me at peace in the end; Cicada cicada, I know, my lord, how much do I know about you? Zen Zen Zen ...... The pure mind finally fell asleep in the midst of his thoughts.
In the afternoon, the sisters and all the brothers and sisters worked together to carry out martial arts training step by step, no matter how difficult and bitter it was, the pure heart gritted her teeth and persevered, she always encouraged herself in her heart: If you don't eat bitterness, how can there be sweetness; As long as you are like a creeper, one step at a time, I firmly believe that it will eventually flourish into a charming landscape, they climb on the wall, and I climb in my heart, all of which are the lives of striving for the top! Only what grows is called "life"! Only those who work hard can be called "people"!
In the afternoon, after the practice, all the lay disciples were already sweating profusely, and after the "sweat bath", they were eager to have another "water bath".
"Pure Heart Child, let's clean ourselves together." Pranya looked at her eagerly and sincerely invited.
"Prajna, Prajna, don't mess with me if you tell you not to mess with me, remember your Dharma name, it's called 'don't mess with', otherwise, if you mess up the human ethics, you will often be struck by lightning! What, purify, is it possible that you want to be a eunuch? The half-angry, half-coquettish words of the pure heart caused everyone to laugh.
"Okay, I'll spare you this time, and next time it's up to the competition." Prajna said with a grin.
"If I don't compete with you, you will make it difficult for me again, call you, and make all the senior brothers and brothers unable to eat meat, do you believe it?" The pure heart was ashamed and anxious, and he almost ran out of words.
"Forget it, the son-in-law is thin-faced, don't be embarrassed, can't you sincerely let everyone be a monk?" Everyone unanimously calmed down this small turmoil.
The two sisters closed the door to take a bath in shock, and discussed with Ming Cun anxiously: "How should this be good, every time you have to invite you to take a bath, it is difficult for a strong man!" Jingxin said with a frown.
"Senior brother, sister, don't be afraid, if he makes a move, you can resolve it, quickly find a way." Mingcun began to get anxious.
"The road is high, the magic is high; The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth; When the little fairy is born, the great god also appears. Simply, you and I hurry up and finish washing, and then go to add a night shift, practice kung fu well, and compete with martial arts, as the saying goes, 'people are not rich without windfall, and horses are not fat without night grass', is it okay? ”
"Okay, let's hurry." The sisters reviewed their day's homework, went to the arsenal to get sandbag leggings, and in a secluded corner, they practiced various kicks such as front kicks, back kicks, side kicks, and then, creatively tied to their arms, practiced boxing.
Jingxin said happily to Ming Cun: "If you want to make it difficult for me, you have to grasp the right to speak first." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother's opponent hasn't been born yet!" Mingcun encouraged.
Mingcun endured the soreness all over his body, rested for a while, took a cold bath, ate a fruit each, and prepared to close the door and sleep.
"Tomorrow, please explain to Coach Wu, and ask him to forgive us for borrowing things first." Mingcun readily agreed.
In the past two days, Prajna's sleep is not very sweet, and I always want to purify my heart and pure heart, hoping to practice martial arts with him during the day, and talk with him at night, pondering..There is still a while before going to bed late, why don't you see what she is doing?
"There are friends from afar, why are they closed?" Prajna comes with this heart.
"I haven't studied Chinese culture for two days, and my son is very ashamed, you guys are here just right, let's study together." Jingxin commanded with a smile.
"I can't ask for it." Prajna is also very studious.
"Prajna, how old are you? It's easy to call it in the future, because the name is not right. ”
"Sixteen, what about you? Fifteen. Pure Heart replied immediately.
"Senior brother is above, please be bowed by junior brother." Jingxin laughed funny.
"No courtesy." Prajna is more interesting, waving his hand.
"Senior Brother Prajna, does your Dharma name imply any profound connotation?" Jingxin asked.
"Master Abbot said, seeing that I am smart and clever, handsome and chic, and I am specially named Prajna, ordinary people can not be provoked, which means that 'this son can come and go freely at all times and places, and there is no stagnation in the mind and body', so even if I come to the third watch in the middle of the night, in front of the gods and Buddhas, it is allowed, right? Bro. Pranya twisted her waist and grimaced.
"It's right for you, but the abbot is quite level, quoting scriptures everywhere, and the name he has given you is just like his person, and the person is like his name, and even the gods and Buddhas sigh to themselves that it is not as good as wow!"
"So, what about this heart?" Pure heart is humble and studious everywhere, and you have to ask everything clearly.
"My Dharma name is very ordinary, it means 'everyday heart'."
"Then do you have a 'boy's heart'?" Jingxin teased.
"The Pure Heart Son is really a man of temperament, he must have it, but he is embarrassed to reveal his affection." Seeing that he blushed with shame, Prajna helped answer.
"There is the Analects in the meditation room, so let's study the essence of this book first."
"Let's talk about 'it is difficult to be a king, but it is not easy to be a minister.'" view of it. "Pure heart arrangement.
"In fact, this saying is similar to 'difficult for a husband, not easy for a wife', and also similar to 'difficult for a father, not easy for a son', monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, brothers, brothers, husbands and wives, everyone does their duty and goes all out to do everything well, which is both valuable and very difficult." Prajna made a statement.
"Takami! It is worthy of being a talent in the temple. "The pure heart is very satisfied.
"There is no desire for speed, and there is no small profit. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it; If you see small profits, you can't do big things. And they read it together.
"Mingcun, this is simple, you can talk about your thoughts." Pure heart encouragement.
"Don't ask for quick things, don't be greedy for small profits. If you seek speed, you will not achieve your goal; If you are greedy for small profits, you will not be able to achieve great things, so let's give an example to prove it. ”
Prajna thought for a moment, and then said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I heard a story. Once upon a time, there was a child who loved to study small animals and wanted to know how the chrysalis broke out of their cocoons and became butterflies. Once, he saw a chrysalis in the grass, took it home, and observed it day by day. A few days later, a crack appeared in the chrysalis, and the butterflies inside began to struggle to break through the pupal shell and fly out. The arduous process lasted for hours, and the butterflies struggled in the chrysalis. The child looked a little unbearable and wanted to help it, so he picked up scissors to cut the chrysalis, and the butterfly broke out of the chrysalis. But he didn't expect that after the butterfly broke free from the chrysalis, because its wings were not strong enough, it couldn't fly at all, and soon died in pain. ”
He also thought of this, and said shyly: "When I was a child, I heard my father talk about 'sharpening knives and not cutting wood'. The crowd praised him in unison for the aptness of his example.
"I'll sum it up, so, words, to be said sentence by sentence; The road must be taken step by step; Dreams must be realized one by one. However, it's not early, it's time for this son to rest, everyone has a meditative state of mind, let's have a good dream, let's discuss the way of Confucius and Mencius tomorrow night, how about it? Pure Heart yawned and commanded.
"A handsome man speaks a handsome word, and whoever does not listen will be punished by heaven. Let's go back to our own holes. Prajna cynically returned to the meditation room with this heart and rested.
