CHAPTER XVII

The monkey has been kneeling at the gate of the temple for six days.

A leaf fell from the tree and fell on his head, and he couldn't move.

A ladybug had to come to him, look up at him, and crawl away.

"I have walked tens of thousands of miles and experienced a lot of hardships, and I must not stop at the gate of enlightenment. ”

But I heard someone sigh: "At the door, even if I arrive at the door, I can't knock on the door if I walk tens of thousands of miles." ”

The monkey turned his head, "Are you?"

Then he saw a man in white coming from the side of the mountain, walking on the road, light as his feet without mud, and he came behind the monkey, but it was a young man, smiling, and the wind blew the corners of his clothes, and he stood there, as if he were one with heaven and earth.

"How can I hear you talking to me when you came from over there?" asked the monkey.

"I haven't arrived yet, Itema can do it. ”

"Oh. The monkey said.

"Oh?!, don't tell me you understand!" said the man in white, grimacing.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I guess you're talking to someone else, and you don't need to be there, just use your heart to tell his heart. ”

The man in white smiled in surprise: "Monkey, this is what someone else taught you?"

"No, I've tried it before. ”

"Ahem...... Ahem, what? Have you tried?"

"When I was in Huaguo Mountain, because I was born from a stone, I had no father or mother, and others deceived me, so I often talked alone in the cave in the middle of the night, not wanting to be heard. ”

"Oh, that's a good ear. ”

"No, it says it heard with its heart. ”

"Who is it?"

"It's an old tree. ”

"Do trees have hearts?"

"It didn't have a heart, but then a squirrel was born in it, and it lived with her, and she was its heart and helped it think. ”

"Oh?" the man in white smiled happily, "Interesting, tell me more." ”

"The story of Huaguo Mountain, I can't tell it for seven days and seven nights, so let's write a book another day. Wonder what I'm talking about!"

"Huh? The man in white looked up at the starry sky, "You know? The world we live in is now being watched by them. Sometimes they will borrow us to say what they want to say, everything in this world can be changed at will, if you want not to be changed, you must first know what you are. ”

"What did you say changed?"

"Heh, do you know what Om is?"

"What's the matter?"

"Om Ma Ma is the ......" the man in white sang: "The Buddha is the heart, the heart is the Buddha, and the heart Buddha has always wanted things." If you know that there is nothing and no mind, then you are a true mind Dharma Body Buddha. Dharmakaya Buddha, no appearance, a round light contains all things. The incorporeal body is the real body, and the aspectless aspect is the reality. Non-color, non-empty, non-empty, non-coming, non-returning. There is no difference, there is no difference, there is nothing, it is difficult to give up, it is difficult to hear. The inner and outer aura is everywhere, and a Buddha country is in the sand.

A grain of sand contains a thousand worlds, and a body and mind are all the same. The cycle of eternity is eternal for a moment. The ever-changing does not deviate from the sect, and the knowledge must be without a heart, which is Om Mani Horn Mi Mi. “

"Boom, ......" Suddenly it rained.

The man in white turned around, and the droplets of water that were originally sprinkled all over the sky gathered in one direction with his figure, turning into a silver thread and rotating around him, and finally erected a vertical silver pillar one after another in his palm.

The rain stopped in an instant, and the stars flew again.

On the earth, there were suddenly countless green grasses piercing out, and they turned into thousands of flowers to bloom.

The man in white smiled at the monkey: "Do you know now what is ever-changing, and you don't deviate from it?"

"I'm going to learn this change!" cried the monkey.

The man in white smiled: "The one inside, why don't you let him teach?"

"I made him angry, and hid in the door and refused to see me, and before I entered the door, he knocked me three times on the head. ”

"This dead Bodhi, I like to play with this thing, and I will bring it to future generations. If he doesn't come out, what are you doing here?"

"I have been kneeling here for seven days, but he will not come out to me. ”

"Hahaha, because he's waiting for the snow to fall...... Are you asking for the Tao, and waiting for the Tao to come to you?"

Sun Wukong snapped to the ground, panting.

“...... Hell, Lao Sun walked for seven days and traveled tens of thousands of miles, but he didn't see a single grain of ash!"

"That's because you're on the wrong path, and it's useless to die of exhaustion. Suddenly, a voice answered.

"Hah! Finally there is a voice! Where are you?"

"Where can I be if there is no place here?"

"Don't play this game with me! If you don't come out, believe it or not, I'll destroy your temple!"

"Ha! There was no temple originally, you just go to it! Sun Wukong, I heard that there is nothing in the world that you can't win?"

"Yes!" Sun Wukong straightened his waist, but he remembered the fake Wukong in his heart. "And how do you know my name?"

"Hahahaha! Who gave you your name?"

“...... This...... That's the name of my grandson!"

"And where did you come from?"

“...... Where am I born?" Sun Wukong thought, "Where am I born?

For a moment, he only felt that his heart had collapsed, and countless memories and thoughts fell straight into the bottomless abyss, just like he felt when he threw himself into the squirrel's tree hole.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!" he cried out, covering his head, "Headache, pain!"

"Alas, the Tight Mantra. Guanyin, you are ruthless enough......" The voice muttered, and suddenly it became louder again: "Sun Wukong, you have to remember, what did you say to me back then......!

"I want nothing in the world that I can't win!"

It was Sun Wukong's voice and said loudly.

Bodhicitta rejoiced, and he came to himself: "Are you awake, are you awake?"

saw that Sun Wukong was still struggling on the ground, but the voice came from behind Bodhi.

Bodhi turned his head and saw the monkey, barefoot, surrounded by blades of grass, with a childish face.

At that moment, the crystal light in Bodhi's eyes turned, and he had mixed feelings, and many emotions came up together.

But it was only for a moment, and then he became cold again: "How did you get in?"

The monkey said, "I kicked open the door and came in." ”

There was a hint of imperceptible surprise in Bodhi's eyes, "No? He thought.

"How can you have the courage to kick the door? Could it be that someone will teach you?"

"yes? How do you know?"

"Hahahaha!" someone laughed, "this monkey really can't lie." Subodhi, don't come unharmed?"

When Su Bodhi saw it, he shouted: "Golden cicada?"

The man in white smiled and said: "Su Bodhi, I haven't seen you for thousands of years, and I still like to pretend to play tricks on people!"

"I didn't tease him, I really didn't dare to teach him!" Bodhi leaned closer to the golden cicada and said, "Can't you see what he's going to do in the future?"

Jin Chanzi smiled and said: "You think you expected it, but in fact it has changed, if you know the way all things work, you know that the future can never be calculated." ”

Bodhi smiled: "Senior brother, you are so faceless every time, I am also an ancestor-level figure, poking me like this in front of a monkey." ”

"Hahahaha!" Jin Chanzi smiled: "If I care about your face, I will not be a golden cicada, if you really have face, you are not Su Bodhi." ”

The two of them laughed heartily, and the two monkeys stood there, looking at each other, puzzled.

"Jin Cicada has not been living in Lingshan for penance, how can he run around?" asked the Bodhisattva.

"Yes, my younger brothers and sisters are meditating on penance, preparing for the fourth assembly of Lingshan, and revising the Tripitaka. But I feel that it is better to walk in the mountains and rivers of the world, get dirty, and get dyed and angry. So sneak out. ”

After that, the golden cicada took out something from his arms: "I picked this up on the road, and I don't know who left it." ”

Sun Wukong almost fell, wasn't that his golden hoop stick?

He reached out and grabbed it, grabbed it, but couldn't get it.

Jin Chanzi gently held the end of the golden hoop stick with one hand, and said with a smile: "You want to either, you can say it if you want, you don't say it......"

Bodhi coughed and coughed.

Jin Chanzi laughed: "I have been thinking hard all year round in Lingshan, I haven't said a word to anyone for thousands of years, and now I always want to talk more." He turned to the monkey in the straw skirt and said, "Is it yours?"

I can't give it to him. Sun Wukong was secretly anxious.

But the monkey pouted, "What do I want this thing for?"

Sun Wukong fell to the ground.

Jin Chanzi said: "Okay! Let's speculate." I like you as a natural monkey, why don't we be friends and play together?"

The monkey rolled his eyes and said to the golden cicada, "Will you do somersaults?"

Jin Chanzi was stunned: "Ah? ”

Bodhi said, "I will, I will! Senior brother, you have learned the Tao and are better than me in everything, but when it comes to these tricksters in the world, you are not as good as me. ”

The monkey said, "I still want you to be my master!"

Bodhi said: "Master can't do it, I can teach you seventy-two changes, but you are not allowed to call me Master, lest I be sad to hear it." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "If you get into trouble, he can push it away!"

"Golden Cicada!" Bodhi exclaimed, "If you tell the truth like this, I won't play with you!"

The monkey looked at them and smiled, "Okay, I'll make you two friends!"

The three laughed and held hands together.

Sun Wukong was left aside, and suddenly he had a sad feeling, and he didn't know why.

"Unfortunately, I can't stay here for long. Jin Chanzi said, "The assembly of the Dharma Conference is about to be held, I want to rush back to Lingshan, Su Bodhi, don't you still go back?"

Su Bodhi smiled slightly: "You know why, I would rather be here, singing to the sky, talking to flowers and squirrels, thinking about the truth of life, this Buddhist sutra, but I have forgotten, I can't recite it, I'm afraid that the master will be angry again." ”

Jin Chanzi Zhengse said: "People only want to be liberated for themselves, but they can't be regarded as results." Along the way, the sentient beings I saw were filled with longing in their hearts, and they were obsessed with love, and they couldn't leave it behind, and they couldn't leave it with their suffering, and they couldn't get rid of it. I advise people to be pure and forgetful, but they can be born out of nothingness, and they teach them to go to the void, but they teach those who come to go where they came. The common people are born in the world, like fallen leaves to the earth, endlessly, there is no need to guide, and there may be other true meanings. I thought of a lot of things, but the Master's Fa could not solve the doubts in my heart, I went back to Lingshan this time, not only to chant the scriptures, but also to ask the Master to solve the confusion in my heart. ”

"Senior brother...... It's okay to ask for advice, but you can't argue with the master. ”

"If I don't argue, how can I solve my doubts?"

"But...... There is nothing wrong with the Master. If you can't figure it out, you're wrong. ”

"Then you have to ask even more clearly. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"But it's okay if you're wrong, I'm afraid of ......."

Jin Chanzi stared at Su Bodhi for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "What is Rulai?"

"It's the truth. ”

"Hongmeng had no surname at the beginning, and broke the stubborn Wukong. The golden cicada looked up to the sky and smiled: "Why am I afraid of it?"

He waved his hand: "Catch it!" and threw the golden hoop stick in his hand towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong jumped up and caught the golden hoop stick, but the golden cicada asked, "Do you know what it is for?"

Sun Wukong looked at the golden hoop stick. Jin Chanzi smiled: "In the future, if someone doesn't open his head, you will use it to wake it up!"

With that, he turned and laughed.

The wind is tight. The dust was great, but not a grain of sand could touch him. His figure went all the way away, and the wind and clouds in the sky followed him and swept into the sky.

"Who is this man, and what do you call him?" said the monkey in the straw skirt, "and if I have his style in the future, it will not be in vain." ”

"Alas, this is a remarkable character, and with the spirit of both of you, he is fit to be a master and apprentice. It's a pity that he is obsessed with the avenue, and always says that he has not passed, how can he teach others. Bodhi said, "You don't know his name, maybe it will soon be forgotten." If there is fate, one day in the future, you will meet yourself. ”

The monkey kept looking at the golden cicada's path and nodded.

"By the way," said Bodhi, "you said you had no name." ”

"Yes, I was born of stone. Please also ask Master, oh no, Bodhi to give me a name. ”

Bodhi let out a long sigh, and said clearly with each word: "You are like a monkey, it is better to be surnamed Sun." Hongmeng originally had no surname, and broke the stubborn Wukong, you will be called Sun - Wukong - Kong. ”

"Okay! Okay! From now on, he will be called Sun Wukong!"

Over there, Sun Wukong was looking at the golden hoop stick, thinking about what the golden cicada said to him, and when he heard the word "Sun Wukong", suddenly his heart cracked like something, and a bright light shone brightly, as if falling from the sky, and as if coming out of his heart, shooting him brightly.

"Hahaha, I have a name, I have a name!" the monkey jumped ecstatically between heaven and earth.

Sun Wukong came to Su Bodhi and knelt down: "See Master." ”

Subodhi looked at him and said, "Didn't I tell you not to call me Master?"

"Yes...... Master ...... "Sun Wukong suddenly had a sad voice.

Su Bodhi couldn't help it anymore, knelt down and hugged him: "Do you finally remember who you are?"

"Master...... Disciple over the years, without your guidance, it's so hard......" Sun Wukong had a thousand thoughts in his heart for a while.

Su Bodhi stroked his head and said, "I know your ambition and I know that I can't show you the way you want to find it, so I refuse to let you say that it is my apprentice." ”

"Master, I'm so hard to be hurt by this tight hoop, help me go. ”

Bodhi's expression gradually became gloomy.

"I can't do it...... This shackle is to bind people's minds and turn the pain of hope into physical pain, if you reach the state of selflessness like the gods and Buddhas, you will naturally not suffer from the shackles. ”

"What do I have to do? to reach the state of selflessness?"

"Forget yourself and let go of what you love and what you hate. ”

Sun Wukong stood up and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly he looked up and said, "I can forget myself." ”

Subodhi looked at him with mixed feelings.

"But," Sun Wukong said, "I can't forget the East China Sea, Huaguo Mountain, West Tianlu, and the people on the road." ”

He suddenly rejoiced and said to Bodhi, "Master, you see, I have so many things to remember. How nice. He turned and said, "Now I'm going back to the Heavenly Realm, killing the fake Wukong, and I'll be able to break the Tight Spell." ”

Su Bodhi shook his head and smiled sadly: "This is what Guanyin said to you? But can you win? No, you can't win, the ending has already been arranged." It's better to stay in this place of leisure, isn't there the same ease and happiness as Huaguo Mountain back then? Forget who you are, forget Xitian Road. When you go back, you won't be able to escape the path that Guanyin has designed for you. ”

"Master, I understand your intentions, but my life is to fight, fight, and win!" Sun Wukong looked at Tianhe, "I won't lose, no matter what kind of game they set up - my old grandson will go!"

A ray of light poured into the cold sky.

Subodhi looked up at the light across the galaxy and sighed.

"I can't change that beginning, why don't I forget that ending?"
