Chapter 54: Awakening Tea

In the dream, the clouds and rain are overturned, and when you wake up, you sweep the courtyard;

By the time dawn came, dressed in coarse linen clothes, I had already swept the courtyard in the courtyard, watching the dust raised by the breeze, layer after layer; Isn't it like that to be a human being! As insignificant as dust.

The sound of Ananda chanting scriptures came from the main hall, the sound was not loud, and it was very clear in the ears. This yard swept through an early morning; The same scriptures have been read for the same time.

The sky was shining through the sky, and the Ananda monk walked out of the main hall. "Master Mu Yi, there is a lot of hard work in the morning, but you use morning tea?"

"Just eaten, no, no! I haven't ...... yet," I blurted out in an instant when my thoughts were outside the Nine Heavens Cloud, and I quickly corrected it.

"Master Mu Yi's cleaning method is not attentive, it seems that sweeping the floor is no longer sweeping the floor" Ananda shook his head continuously, overlooking the courtyard where I had been cleaning all morning.

I was about to retort, "How to clean the yard is not to clean the yard!" ”

Then I followed Master Ananda's gaze and saw that the place that had been cleaned was still the same as before, even more messy and dusty than before!

"How could it be like this, I just swept it" I quickly defended, this is not right, it shouldn't be!

"Cleaning the courtyard is like cleaning up your own heart, if your heart is disturbed, you can't clean it, if your heart is not here, you can't say that it has been cleaned" Ananda's voice was dry, but it was like lighting a lamp, shining in front of me.

"Thank you Master for teaching" This time, I am convinced. Calmly glanced at the ground, threw the broom aside, and stopped cleaning.

"Why doesn't Master Mu Yi clean anymore?" Ananda asked.

I pursed my lips and smiled apologetically, bowed down and said, "Taoism says that the law is natural; Buddhism says: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform; There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust? Isn't it, master."

"I can't be called a master, I'm a Zen master; Unexpectedly, Mu Yi also had an understanding of the Buddhist language and Zen machine, "Ananda opened his mouth, and the gray and messy beard on the side of his mouth moved one by one with his lips.

"Thank you master for the compliment" Although there was some joy in my heart, I picked up the broom again and gently cleaned it on the ground, and there was no longer a gust of wind blowing dust.

"Why did the donor clean again, didn't he say that he would not clean again" I knew that Master Ananda was deliberately guiding me, and I also complied.

"The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, often wiped, why bother to cause dust" This is my original intention in my heart, little by little to sweep, sweep the fallen leaves and dust to the roots of the willow tree, and suddenly learn the appearance of Master Ananda "Amitabha, the red is not a ruthless thing, turn into spring mud and protect the flowers"

Ananda had a smile on his face, and his teeth that had not seen the light of day for many years were slightly exposed, and he was very happy! "Mu Yi seems to be a deep Buddha relationship, a deep Buddha relationship! Good, good, good! ”

"Please use the Mu Yi donor for tea!" With Ananda to cater to, into the middle of the upper room hall, the Buddha statue in the hall is magnificent, but the facilities are simple, nine bright lights, an incense burner, three cushions and a Buddha. There is also a bed in the direction of the West Wing.

"Ananda eats and lives in front of the Buddha, and the Buddha does not dare to slack off in the slightest" Ananda looked at the Buddha statue, his eyes full of piety.

Because I didn't enter the temple yesterday to worship the Buddha, today I entered the temple to look at the magnificent Buddha statue, and I bowed to the ground, kneeling on the ground, and my heart was also pious, "If there is really a Buddha, there is really a Western Heaven Bliss, please take care of my mother's life after returning, and help more; The light of the Buddha shines on the earth, may my friends and benefactors resist the wind and turn the dragon, and all their abilities are successful, and I hope they are still alive; Mu Yi bowed his head and bowed three times, I got up and looked at Ananda, who smiled as if he had found something extremely satisfying.

"Muyi donor, please sit down with morning tea" on the side of the morning tea has been prepared, the tea fragrance is floral, but also Buddha incense.

I took a sip, and the fragrance lingered on my lips and teeth, and I kept lingering. Close your eyes and enjoy "Good tea, good tea!" ”

"People smell the fragrance of tea, and tea is also smelling the fragrance of people" Ananda said something that he didn't understand, and I was also confused.

"Master, I don't understand you very well," I grinned, 'Honestly'.

"Master Mu Yi, are you still the same person you used to be" I looked at Ananda's lips one by one, wandering out of the world.

"Am I not me? Who else could I be? My eyes lost their brightness, and my voice was dry.

"The donor has endured too much, why don't you put down something and move forward?" Perhaps because of the distraction in the morning, Ananda wanted to wake up the dreamer with a word.

"What have I endured, but nothing has I endured? There is no more than one piece of clothing on the whole body, and nothing else! The confusion in my eyes welled up.

"You are suffering from the pain that you should not have suffered when you were young, you are suffering from the suffering of the old times, and you are not at peace with the strife of that war! So, is Mu Yi still Mu Yi? ”

Listening to Ananda's words, my eyes were full of fantasies, all kinds of things before! There is a sunny smile, mixed with the three leaves on his head flashing and shining, and the sweet voice of his brother when he is only five years old; There is also Xiao Liu, there is Xiao Liu's smile and Xiao Liu's last silence; There's Applejack, there's Dandan, there's many, too many.

There was the first beating, there was the setting sun, there were countless flames spreading around the home, there was the moment when the mother fell from the balcony.

My eyes turned red again, and my face burst into bruises, "Let me put down what I bear, then am I still me?" How could I possibly put it down"

"But those bad guys have already tasted their own bitter fruits, and they still don't let go?"

"What does it have to do with me that they have tasted the bitter fruit, and whose sin is it that I am so bitter? If you want to blame the world, the resentment in my heart has nowhere to vent, it has turned into tears, into words, and even to turn me into a devil!

"Idiot, idiot, don't wake up soon!" Master Ananda used Buddhist exercises, and his eyes were focused on waking me up instantly.

"Why, why put me in pain again? Why" The tears on my face have not dried, and I am still savoring the helplessness of despair just now, the powerless struggle in pain, trying to grasp the straw, but unable to turn back.

I looked at Ananda with resentment in my eyes, "Why?" Why! ”

"Only when you feel the suffering again can you better love the world; Only when you have experienced pain yourself, you will not think about inflicting pain on others, and the resentment that has nowhere to find cause and effect will only make the resentment grow wildly, and people will only be more painful, so why bother? Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you," Ananda sighed and instructed earnestly.

"What kind of tea did you just give me?" I didn't listen to the lecture at that time, but just squeezed these words in my heart.

"The name of tea is tongue-twisting, also known as awakening tea! Amitabha," Ananda replied with difficulty.

"What a refreshing tea, awakening tea!" I turned and walked away.

"Donor, you have to let go of the obsession in your heart," Ananda saw that I was about to go out, and said again with his hands in his hands.

I paused, then smiled. I thought to myself: "People always have to bear something in their life, and I not only bear these things, but also their hopes!" It's just that the door is not empty! ”

"Thank you, Master! Thanks a lot! ”

From today on, from now on, Mu Yi will no longer have me, Mu Yi is just Mu Yi, Mu Yi who bears hope and pain.

On this day, Mu Yi stood under the willow tree, looked at the birds flying freely and sending berry leaves to the main hall, and said, "Mu Yi, Mu Yi, where is the double law in the world?" Good things and bad things are things, and they can't be run away anymore."

Monk Ananda stood at the door of the main hall and watched, "It is related to Ananda, but it has no fate with my Buddha"
