Chapter 212: That Mysterious Voice Five

That's it at its moment.

Duan Chaonuan felt that this person was more suitable for preaching.

That's what he said, it's not just a matter of preaching, it's more suitable for the rhythm of preaching!

What's going on here, what kind of allusions do you start to tell, what Taoism and Buddhism?

But the mysterious voice continued, continuing to tell what he was determined to tell.

"Su Dongpo, a bachelor of Hanlin, heard that the Zen master Chenghao of Jingnan Yuquan Temple was high and high, and the edge was difficult to touch, and he was very unconvinced. So I asked for a meeting and wanted to try how Zen Master Chenghao was. As soon as they met, Dongpo said:

"I heard that the Zen master's Zen Enlightenment Kung Fu is very high, may I ask, what is Zen Enlightenment?"

Zen Master Cheng Hao did not answer and asked, "May I ask the surname of the honorable official?" ”

Dongpo replied: "The surname is the scale, and the elders of the world weigh the scales!" ”

Zen Master Chenghao let out a loud sigh and said, "Excuse me, how much does this drink weigh?" ”

Dongpo couldn't do anything, so he bowed and retreated. ”

Look, we have to go on.

It's just that now you don't have to pick up people to answer questions, Duan Chaonuan can see it thoroughly!

Once, a monk asked Zen Master Weikuan, "Do dogs have Buddha nature?" ”

"Yes." Zen Master Weikuan replied without thinking.

The monk asked, "Zen master, do you have Buddha nature?" ”

The Zen master replied, "I don't." ”

The monk was puzzled and asked, "The Buddha said that all living beings have Buddha nature, why don't you?" ”

The Zen master said, "Because I am not all sentient beings. ”

"Since you're not a sentient being, you must be a Buddha, right?"

"It's not a Buddha either."

"What is that?"

"It's not a thing."

After thinking for a moment, the monk asked, "Can you see it, can you think of it?" ”

The Zen master replied with a smile: "Incredible, inconceivable, so it is incredible." ”

Don't say anything, just listen!

"There was a monk who came to visit Zen Master Zhichang, who was hoeing grass in the field. Suddenly, a snake sprang out of the grass, and the Zen master raised his hoe and cut it. The monk said disapprovingly: "I have admired the Taoist style of the Zen master for a long time, and when I saw it today, it turned out to be a rough sand gate. ”

Zen Master Zhichang said: "Like you say, is it you who are coarse, or am I coarse? ”

The monk then began a debate and asked, "What is coarse?" ”

The Zen master put down the hoe.

The monk asked, "What is fine?" ”

The Zen master raises his hoe and makes a gesture of cutting the snake.

The monk did not understand what Zen Master Zhichang meant, and asked, "On what basis do you do this?" ”

The Zen master said, "Why, don't say it." Where did you see me slaying snakes? ”

The monk replied confidently: "Now! ”

Zen Master Zhichang said to the monk in a tone of admonition: "What are you doing when you don't see yourself at the moment, but you come to see the snake slashing?" "Jiuzhou Chinese

The preaching monks finally have a province. ”

"Zen Master Deshan was originally a master of preaching scriptures in the north, but because he was dissatisfied with the saying that the southern Zen sect "did not spread outside the teaching", he brought his own "Diamond Sutra" Qinglong Shu Qian to the south to defend.

When he arrived in the south, he was questioned by an old woman who sold dim sum and couldn't answer (the old woman asked him, "The heart is unattainable in the past, the heart is unattainable now, and the heart is unattainable in the future, which heart do you want?"). From then on, I put away my arrogance, and asked the old woman, is there any grandmaster nearby that can be visited? The old woman told him that five miles away, there was a Longtan Zen master, who was very good.

When Zen Master Deshan arrived at Longtan, he couldn't wait to ask when he saw Zen Master Longtan, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Zen Master Longtan replied, "Longtan! ”

Zen Master Deshan asked again: "Since it is called Longtan, I am touring here, and I have neither seen the dragon nor the pond, why is this?" ”

Zen Master Longtan told Zen Master Deshan bluntly: "You have worked hard, you have arrived in Longtan!" ”

That night, Deshan asked Longtan Zen Master for benefits, and stood in front of Longtan Zen Master's seat for a long time. Longtan Zen Master said: "It's already very late at night, why don't you go down yet!" ”

Deshan said good night, said goodbye and went back, walked to the door, and came back again, saying: "It's too dark outside, and the monk has just arrived, and I don't know the direction." ”

Longtan Zen Master lit a candle for him, and just as Deshan reached out to pick it up, Longtan Zen Master blew out the candle again. Deshan suddenly realized, immediately knelt down, and bowed to Longtan Zen Master.

Zen Master Longtan asked, "What did you see?" ”

Zen Master Tokuyama replied, "From now on, I will no longer doubt the tongues of all Zen masters in the world." ”

The next day, Zen Master Tokuyama took the money he had written to the front of the hall and burned it in public. When the flame was lit, he chanted, "If you are poor in all your arguments, if you have nothing to do with it; The cardinal of the world is like a drop thrown into a huge ravine. ”

Wenxi Zen Master worships Wutai Mountain, one evening, on the way through the King Kong Cave Prajna Temple, met an old man who is holding a cow.

Wen Xi asked, "May I ask the elderly, can you stay overnight?"

The old man replied, "You have a sense of attachment, and I can't keep you." ”

Moon Hee explained, "I don't have attachment. ”

The old man asked, "Have you been ordained?" ”

Wen Xi replied: "I have already been ordained. ”

The old man said, "Since you don't have attachment, do you still need to take the ordination?" ”

Zen Master Wenxi was speechless and bowed to retire. When he turned back, the old man and the temple had disappeared without a trace, and when he looked up, he saw Manjushri riding a golden lion floating in the five-colored clouds.

Later, Wenxi went to Hongzhou Guanyin Temple to study with Zen Master Yangshan, and took care of the cooking work in the temple.

One day, the image of Manjushri suddenly appeared in the steam of the kitchen, and Wenxi raised the spoon and hit it, and said, "Manjushri is from Manjushri, and Manjushri is from Wenxi, how can you mess with my heart." ”

Manjushri said humorously: "The bitter gourd is bitter, the melon is sweet, and the three great calamities of cultivation are suspected." ”

The king of Zhaozhou went to visit the Zen master of Zhaozhou, but the Zen master of Zhaozhou did not come out to greet him, but sat on the meditation bed to meet him, and asked:

"Do you know what I mean?"

"I don't understand." King Zhaozhou replied.

The Zen master saw that the king of Zhaozhou did not understand his meaning, so he turned to explain: "Since I was a child, I have been fasting and I am old, and I see that people are unable to get off the meditation bed, please don't be surprised." ”

Far from being surprised, the king of Zhaozhou had more respect for the Zen master of Zhaozhou, and sent a general to give gifts the next day. When the Zen master heard this, he got out of bed to greet him.

Afterwards, the disciples were puzzled, so they asked the Zen master Congnian: "When the king comes, you don't get out of bed, but when the king's subordinates come down, you get out of bed to greet you, why is this?" ”

The Zen master said to his disciples, "You don't know that people are divided into three classes, but not in terms of status. When the superior comes, he responds on the meditation bed; When the middle people come, they go down to the meditation bed to receive them; When the last people come, they will go outside the mountain gate to meet them. ”

The disciples have an understanding of what they say. ”

Duan Chaonuan didn't want to say anything, mainly because he felt that there was nothing to say, what could be said and couldn't be said, didn't it all let people say it?

So what else is there to say?

It is better to continue listening to this speech, no matter what his ultimate goal is, it will always be known.

It's useless to be anxious now!
