Chapter 597: Karmic Cause and Effect 2
Regarding Xiao Shami's words, Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang were a little surprised.
I just heard that this master of obscurity only sees three pilgrims who are related to Buddhism every day, talking about Zen machines, but I didn't expect Lin Ruo to be one of them.
What's even more surprising is that Master Obscurity only invited Lin Ruo alone, leaving aside the two of them who came with him.
But after all, Master Wuwu is a high-ranking monk and is admired, and the other party only invited Lin Ruo to talk about Zen alone, and they couldn't force them to go with them.
If Murong Chong was beside him, he should not be puzzled by this. Although Lin Ruo has never met Master Xuanwu, but Master Xuanwu saved her life, and Master Xuanwu's disciple Shengyan Monk invited himself to Mingsha Mountain in Danzhou to transform karma for Lin Ruodu.
Lin Ruo left Youcao, confessed to Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang, and was accompanied by Zhu Xuan and followed Xiao Shami to the tearoom.
Youcao often follows Lin Ruo to Puji Temple, and follows her into the incense to worship the Buddha, how to worship, is already familiar with the road. With her accompanying Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang, nothing would go wrong at that time.
Xiao Shami folded his hands in front of him to lead the way, and when he arrived at the front of the scripture room, he said respectfully through the door: "Abbot of Obscurity, Mrs. Lin has arrived." β
Receiving the response from the room, Xiao Shami pushed open the door and respectfully invited Lin Ruo to enter.
There was no sandalwood in the tea room, and the whole room was filled with a refreshing smell of tea. Light shines through the hexagonal window lattice, illuminating the room.
In the middle of the tea room, the back of an old monk in a robe sits on the futon in front of the ebony tea table, and his thin and swarthy fingers calmly walk back and forth between the tea sets, warming the cup, waking up the tea, brewing, brewing, whisking, and smelling. Every move is full of Zen. On the wall facing the old monk, there is a scroll of words, on which are written two big characters: "Tea Zen", which is very suitable for the occasion.
"Master Enlightenment is well."
"Lord Lin is fine." The old monk's voice was a little low and dry, and he didn't look back, but put the warm cup opposite him, "Lord Lin came at the right time, the tea is just right, Lord Lin might as well taste it with the old monk." β
"The elders are invited, but they dare not resign." Lin Ruoqian stepped forward, walked around to the tea case, folded his hands, lowered his eyebrows, and lowered his eyebrows, "Amitabha, thank you...... You! You are......! β
When she lowered her eyes, Lin Ruo saw the kind face of the Master of Obscurity, but her face was full of surpriseβbecause of this face, she had seen it. No, to be precise, Gu Mengyao has seen it! Eleven years ago, when she was still Gu Mengyao, when she went to see Chu Haoze, the fortune teller who had been stopping her to tell her a hexagram, two people, two faces, were exactly the same!
Master Xuanwu's eyes were silent, the smile between his eyebrows was indifferent, and he did not have any unexpected expression because of Lin Ruo's surprise, he indifferently put down the small teapot in his hand, folded his hands, said the Buddha name, twisted the Buddha beads and asked, "Master Lin, why are you so surprised when you see the poor monk?" β
Lin Ruo came back to his senses and restrained his overly surprised expression, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on Master Obscure's face: "In the past, disciples followed their uncle to Jinling, and every time they went to Xiangji Temple to worship Buddha, they always had no chance to see Master Obscure. Later, the disciple was depressed and angry, and he was sick in bed, and the imperial doctors all said that there was no medicine and no cure. Fortunately, I was able to realize that the master had a piece of Buddhist note, and I was able to let go of the obsession in my heart and heal unharmed. I am also grateful to Master Xuanwu for arranging for Senior Brother Shengyan to go to Mingfeng Monastery to pray for the blessings of his disciples. The disciple has always hoped to meet Master Xuanwu and be grateful in person. When I saw it today, I was surprised to find that the Master of Obscurity seemed to be familiar. β
The eyes of the master of obscurity drooped slightly, and he plucked the Buddha beads in his hand, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, like the Bodhisattva Buddha in the main hall, with the compassion and compassion of all sentient beings.
"All the laws are born because of fate, and all laws are destroyed because of fate, and my Buddha Dashamen often says so. Or the Lin donor has a relationship with my Buddha, or the poor monk has a relationship with the Lin donor. β
"What Master Enlightenment said is reasonable. Everything in the world is fate, and there is karma. No author is not born, and no author is wasted; If there are thousands of eons, the work will not perish; When karma meets, the retribution will be repaid. Lin Ruo paused, "Dare to ask Master Xuanwu, what do you think should be done to explain the karma between you and your disciples?" β
"Cause and fate are combined, and vain is born; Karma separates, and vanity perishes. The Master of Enlightenment calmly replied, "All the Dharma that arises from causes and conditions has no self-nature and no permanence. In this life, it is the cause of the cause of planting in the previous life. Good causes feel good results, and evil causes get evil results, which is not happy at all. Poor monks and Lin donors are no exception. β
Hearing Master Obscurity mention "planting causes and conditions in his previous life", his heart jumped suddenly, he straightened up and moved forward, and blurted out: "Master Obscure Enlightenment knows about the things of his previous life?" β
Master Wuwu stopped his hand plucking the rosary, poured the tea in Lin Ruo's cup and slowly cleaned it, and said unhurriedly: "The past is a blur, and it is all a mystery in the womb. Just like this flood, why should Lord Lin be obsessed and refuse to let go? β
Lin Ruo pursed her lips and was silent, staring at the empty teacup.
Master Obscurity took the teapot again and poured new hot tea in the teacup: "Willing to give, give up for liberation, the heart is unhindered, the so-called winner, that is, not gained, is famous, but has no gain." Those who attain it have six roots inside, six dusts outside, everything they have, and there is no one who gives up. β
Lin Ruo chewed carefully on the words of Master Xuanwu, and after a while, he showed a wry smile of embarrassment: "There is great wisdom in meeting the master, but the disciple is just a layman, and this kind of realm is beyond the reach of the truth." β
"In such a short period of time, Master Lin was able to realize the Zen that the poor monk said, which is definitely not a thing in the pool."
"Master Enlightenment is overrated."
Lin Ruo humbly bowed his head, then picked up the fragrant tea in front of him and took a sip, although it was not a rare treasure such as the bird's tongue, Xinyang Maojian, and Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, it was also fragrant on the teeth and cheeks, with a unique clarity, which made people feel calm.
"Master Obscure," Lin Ruo put down the teacup in his hand and said sincerely, "The disciple still has a reluctant request, I hope Master Obscure can agree." β
"Lord Lin, please speak."
Lin Ruo looked at Master Xuanwu, this drooping old monk had a pair of clear and clear eyes, ordinary chanting and Zen, always slightly drooping his eyelids, which was difficult for ordinary people to find. But when the other party poured the water in her cup, for a moment, when they met their eyes, Lin Ruo discovered this.
In this instant, two words popped up in Lin Ruo's mind: insight.
In Buddhism, the discerning eye refers to the wisdom of the two vehicles. It can see the reality and see all things.
It was also at this moment that Lin Ruo came up with this idea.
"The disciple wants to ask Master Xuanwu for divination."
