Chapter 14: Preaching
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, and I want to see its wonder, and I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. Manifest the dense circle, enlightenment and meditation. There is no life and no destruction, and the qi is full of energy. Shou can be Qi Tian, pious and clear. Hong stubborn cultivation barbarian, either Buddha or immortal ......"
In the quaint but atmospheric hall, there are bursts of solemn and sacred voices.
But I saw the Bodhi patriarch sitting cross-legged on the yaotai, his eyes seemed to be slightly closed, and there were words in his mouth.
Below the Bodhi Patriarch, a group of disciples sat cross-legged on the futon, all listening carefully.
Yang Xuan, who was sitting on the futon, was also listening to the sermon of the Bodhi Patriarch.
He has participated in this kind of sermon many times since he entered the disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.
At the beginning, Yang Xuan didn't understand what Patriarch Bodhi said at all, and only felt like it was in the clouds.
However, I read more scriptures later, and my realm has also improved, and I can already have some understanding of what Patriarch Bodhi said.
"Now that I'm done, can any of you tell us about your own experiences and feelings." Patriarch Bodhi glanced at the disciples below and said in a deep voice.
After a while, several disciples of the "Guang" and "Da" generations stood up and explained their feelings to the Bodhi Patriarch.
"So" After listening to Zhichen's experience, Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong, who was still scratching his ears and cheeks, and shook his head.
"Alas," Patriarch Bodhi sighed heavily in his heart, "This monkey is awe-inspiring, even Wu Xuan can't compare to him." But why is it still as animalistic as it used to be? I'm afraid that what I think about at this time is still the way of immortality. ”
The Dao heart is not pure!!
Patriarch Bodhi is now both sorry and resentful of Sun Wukong.
It's a pity that Sun Wukong's talent, if he really learns, it will definitely not be a problem to cultivate into a golden immortal in the future. Even Da Luo Daoguo is not impossible.
What I resent was why Sun Wukong couldn't be as calm as Yang Xuan and not be in a hurry.
"That's it, it's a big deal, just do what he wants in the future," Thinking of this, Bodhi Patriarch looked at Yang Xuan, who was still thinking with his eyes closed, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Xuan, what do you think?" ”
"What? Master, do you say me? Yang Xuan, who was named by the Bodhi Patriarch, hurriedly got up and bowed to the Bodhi Patriarch.
"Exactly," Patriarch Bodhi bowed slightly, "do you have anything to say?" ”
"Feelings?" Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then complained in his heart, "How long have I been cultivating?" I don't have a pig's foot halo, what do you say?!!! ”
However, looking at the quiet eyes of the Bodhi Patriarch and the senior brothers who were looking sideways at him, as well as the Monkey King with a "curious baby" face, Yang Xuan couldn't get off the stage for a while, and didn't dare to say the word "no".
There's no way, it's just making it up...... Wait a minute, it seems like it can be so.
……
At that moment, Yang Xuan's face sank, he exhaled heavily, and said calmly, "When the disciple reads in the back mountain on weekdays, he often has doubts in his heart. ”
"Confused?" Patriarch Bodhi's eyes were slightly closed, and he said indifferently, "Say it and listen to it." ”
"When a disciple sees a flower in the mountains, he is often puzzled in his heart," after a pause, Yang Xuan continued, "There is nothing outside the heart in the world, so what does it matter to me that flowers and trees bloom and fall spontaneously in the deep mountains?" ”
When the surrounding fellow brothers heard this, they also looked at each other, not knowing why.
They had seen wildflowers blooming in the mountains in the past, but they didn't expect to do so.
Everyone scratched their ears and cheeks for a while, puzzled, and looked at the Bodhi Patriarch one after another.
"This kid is still a little interesting, he can think of this when he looks at the flowers. Let's see if he can say it. Patriarch Bodhi paid attention at the moment, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Yang Xuan with interest, and asked, "So, have you thought of the reason?" ”
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan and listened to Yang Xuan continue.
"The disciple has read a lot of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures over the years, and has also listened to the master's sermons several times," Yang Xuan said with emotion, "Now, I can finally know some of the reasons." ”
"Tell me about it." Patriarch Bodhi said lightly, and the senior brothers around him also cheered up, wanting to hear how Yang Xuan interpreted this philosophical question.
"Lao Wang, I'm sorry, let's learn from your academic achievements."
Yang Xuan apologized to Wang Yangming in his heart, and then after taking a heavy breath, he said with a smile, "When I didn't look at this flower, this flower died with me; When I came to see this flower, I understood the color of this flower for a while, and I knew that this flower was not outside my heart. ”
After listening to Yang Xuan's explanation, Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes violently, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he was overjoyed.
And after everyone in the hall listened to Yang Xuan's explanation, there was also a commotion.
"If you think about it carefully, what Senior Brother Wuxuan said seems to be very reasonable."
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this ?!!!?"
"It's really a subtle insight, my senior brother is really hidden."
“……”
Even Sun Monkey scratched the back of his head with his furry palm, looking at Yang Xuan in surprise. Although his cultural level is not very high at this time, he also feels that there is a lot of truth in Yang Xuan's words.
The Bodhi Patriarch on the Yaotai moved, looked at Yang Xuan approvingly, and said: "Yes, Wu Xuan can think for himself when he encounters problems, and summarize innovative explanations, so you should learn more from Wu Xuan."
"Yes, Master."
At this time, Yang Xuan was also secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't expect that if he took out Wang Yangming's mental thoughts, even Patriarch Bodhi could bluff.
The so-called "learning of the world is all in Yangming Xinxue".
In the world before Yang Xuan's travel, as a master of mind who was highly respected by great men at home and abroad, Wang Yangming was not only a great philosopher on a par with Nietzsche, but also a Confucian sage with Confucius and Mencius, and a spiritual teacher that even Taizu had always admired.
Feeling the gazes of the senior brothers around him, Yang Xuan swallowed back the unspoken "The Great Dao is the heart of the people, and it has not changed through the ages", and said respectfully to the Bodhi Patriarch, "The master is serious, if there is no teachings of the master, and there are discussions with the senior brothers on weekdays, how can the disciples have today's opinions?" ”
Anyway, Patriarch Bodhi is also a figure who is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and it is not a big deal to attribute his achievements to him.
"Good, good! It's good that you can have this heart. Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and shouted three times in a row, seemingly satisfied with Yang Xuan's performance.
Yang Xuan didn't say anything more, just bowed to the Bodhi Patriarch, and continued to meditate and breathe.
It seems that he is not far from the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void......
