Chapter 332: The Abbot's Way (Four Changes)

Hui Zhen, as the first cadre under an empty man, stood up at this time and said: " Abbot, uncles, fellow disciples, disciples think, I Shaolin Buddhism is exquisite, well-known in Henan, those people in the rivers and lakes are of course extremely vicious, but my Buddhism believes that there is no stubborn and unteachable people in the world, as long as we are patient and enlightened, earnestly persuade, instill Buddhist knowledge to them, treat people with benevolence and righteousness, and tolerate people with generosity, those people in the rivers and lakes will definitely be moved by us, so as to put down the butcher's knife, and it is likely to affect other people who come, killing two birds with one stone, it is the best policy. ”

After Huizhen finished speaking, Yikong, Huiming and the others all nodded one after another, which is also what they meant.

After he finished speaking, Hui Jian also stood up: "Senior Brother Huizhen's words are certainly reasonable, but Senior Brother thinks it is inappropriate, we Shaolin warrior monks practice martial arts, it is because we are also Jianghu sects, and the affairs of Jianghu are solved by force in the end. ”

Hui Ming also stood up and said to Hui Jian: "Senior brother is angry, my Buddhist family pays attention to calmness, and in this regard, the abbot is our example." ”

first patted Huo Yuanzhen's ass gently, hoping to invisibly pull Huo Yuanzhen to the side of the monk, Huo Yuanzhen didn't make a sound there, his heart was clear, at this time, he didn't make a statement first.

Huiming's intention was not realized, and he said with a little embarrassment: "The poor monk thinks that it is still the influence of Buddhism, you can think about it, we Shaolin have the point where we are today, how many of the people here came to Shaolin after being defeated by the abbot?"

After speaking, Hui Ming's eyes swept around, everyone bowed their heads a little, and Hui Ming's words were to the point.

"The poor monk came to Shaolin for a long time, before I and Brother Huizhen came, Shaolin only had the abbot and one empty, one net two uncles, and the poor monk and Brother Huizhen met the abbot in the bazaar, and the abbot told people books, at that time, we saw the potential of Shaolin, so my brother and I were not defeated by force to come to Shaolin. ”

After finishing speaking, Hui Ming looked around a little proudly, and then looked at Hui Wu, "Senior Brother Hui Wu, how did you get here?"

Hui Wudao: "I was saved by the abbot, and I am grateful." ”

"Well, what about Senior Brother Huijian?"

Huijian also said: "I was also rescued by the abbot twice, and I admired it." ”

"How did the eighteen senior brothers such as Hui Yi come here?"

Hui Yi and other eighteen people were in the back row, and when they heard Hui Ming ask, Hui Yi: "We are about the same, and the abbot treats us very well, we are willing to stay in Shaolin." ”

"Not really, but the poor monk knows that the abbot has convinced you with a set of seed theories, so that you are grateful and at the same time deeply feel the breadth and profundity of the Dharma, yes or no?"

Huiyi and the others nodded, and this was indeed the case.

"Not only these, but also Uncle Yichen, Uncle Yideng and so on, and even the nameless elders of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, none of them were called by the abbot with one hand, they were all willing to enter Shaolin, and now everyone is closely united around the abbot, are these examples not enough for us to recognize the direction?

Huiming boasted in the crowd, citing Huo Yuanzhen's glorious deeds in the past as examples everywhere, so that the monks present could not refute it for a while.

Hui Wu's debate is not a strong point, it's really hard to talk now, and as an elder, it's not easy to debate with Hui Ming, and in the end, Hui Jian said: "What Senior Brother Hui Ming said is right, but you have to think clearly, what the abbot can do, we may not be able to do it, the abbot is a monk, a person who can communicate with the Buddha, the only abbot in the world, he can do so much, we can't." ”...,

After Hui Jian finished speaking, Hui Wu cast an admiring gaze at him, patting the sycophants is not just the patent of the monk, the upright warrior monk occasionally uses it, the effect is better, didn't you see the corner of the abbot's mouth twitch inadvertently just now, obviously happy.

In this debate, the final decision-maker is still the abbot, and the opinions of the rest can only be used as a reference.

Of course, if he has the upper hand in the debate, then the abbot's final choice may be inclined to one side, after all, the abbot is still very reasonable, and it is impossible to go his own way.

Hui Ming saw that Hui Jian's sycophant seemed to have received an effect, and hurriedly said: "It's because of the insufficiency that we have to learn from the abbot, is it because we know the shortcomings, don't we dare to try?"

Hui Wu also said at this time: "I'm afraid it won't work, it's still the same sentence, one person or two people can, do we have to go to the people who come to be reformed one by one? ”

Yikong picked up the elder's shelf next to him: "Hui Wushi's nephew is wrong, is it possible that Shaolin still has to distinguish between civil and military affairs so clearly? ”

Hui Wu immediately shut up, as a junior, he didn't dare to refute it.

He didn't refute, someone refuted, and Yijing, who had rarely spoken, also spoke.

"Senior brother, the current situation is like this, it's good to use Buddhism, but it's not appropriate now, you must first use thunder to deter, otherwise the current situation in my Shaolin will become more and more unfavorable. ”

Yideng also said: "Yes, I agree with the words of Senior Brother Yijing." ”

As soon as he was about to refute, Huo Yuanzhen, who had been listening for a long time, finally coughed.

Everyone stopped talking at the same time, and their eyes fell on Huo Yuanzhen, and the final decision was still in the hands of the abbot.

"Everyone is right, although our Shaolin is a Jianghu sect, but first of all, it is a Buddhist sect, the last time Guan Tianzhao's army attacked, in order to defend the homeland, it did create a lot of killings, this matter The poor monk has always felt guilty. ”

Yikong hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Abbot, that time is not counted, the situation was critical, and if I don't kill people, my Shaolin foundation will be destroyed, so it is a last resort, and it is also to protect the foundation of Buddhism, and the Buddha will not blame." ”

"Yes, it was a last resort, it was true last time, but what about this time? As far as I know, the situation in our Shaolin is also a little unfavorable. ”

Huo Yuanzhen stood up at this time and tidied up the white monk robe on his body, which Ning Wanjun and Luo Caiyi made for themselves and wore it all the time.

"There are always people who are harassing us at the moment, and we are indeed a little passive, so haven't you tried to use the Dharma to influence the offenders during this time?"

Ichikong said with some embarrassment: "I haven't done enough to cultivate the Dharma, although I have also made a lot of attempts, but with little success. ”

Actually, it's not that the Dharma is not cultivated enough, it's that the way is wrong. ”

Huo Yuanzhen came to the table and picked up a teacup on the table, which contained a cup of tea.

gestured to everyone: "Look, the people who come to offend are like this teacup, their hearts are already full of hatred for the Shaolin cult, as if this teacup is already full of water, and this water is their own thoughts." ”

After speaking, Huo Yuanzhen picked up the teapot and began to pour water into the teacup.

Because the water in the teacup is full, no matter how Huo Yuanzhen pours it, the water poured after it will overflow.

"It's very difficult for us to preach the Dharma to them at this time, because their hearts are filled with their own things, and it's hard to accommodate other ideas, so we want to instill the Dharma in them, and that's the only way. ”

After finishing speaking, Huo Yuanzhen picked up the teacup, poured out all the water in it, and emptied the teacup.

"Only when we empty their minds and let their minds be shattered, will there be room and room for the Dharma to enter, otherwise no matter how much we do, it will only be in vain. ”...,

Everyone was impressed by Huo Yuanzhen's theory, and they all said that they were taught.

Yideng was the person who admired Huo Yuanzhen the most, and asked: "Abbot, then what can we do to shatter the other party's inner thoughts?"

The difficult thing is that in many cases, it is also necessary to pay attention to a chance, but if it is simple, it is first of all that the other party will not continue to argue with you, thinking that you are better than him, and then instilling the Dharma is effective. ”

Seeing that everyone was still a little puzzled, Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said: "The theory of the literati is knowledge, and the theory of the people in the rivers and lakes is a fist, and only those with big fists have the right to speak, so they can be respected by others, so the rivers and lakes are in trouble, and it is best to rely on the rivers and lakes to solve it, and only by defeating those self-righteous people in the rivers and lakes in terms of force will they be willing to listen to our teachings." ”

The warrior monks showed excited expressions on their faces, and sure enough, the abbot was still on the side of the warrior monks.

Although Ichiku and the others were a little unhappy, they had to admit that what the abbot said made sense.

The other party came with contempt and murderous aura, and it would not work to preach the Fa at this time, only by beating their arrogance down first, and then they could teach them because of fate and make the other party completely convinced.

Thinking about it, the abbot's level is still high, and he used a vivid example to deduce the truth of the matter, instead of relying on the abbot's authority, arrogant and rude interference, even if they didn't do what the monk wanted in the end, they were convinced.

No wonder people can be abbots, but they can only be disciples, and the understanding of Buddhism and people's hearts is not on the same level at all.

Seeing that everyone was convinced, Huo Yuanzhen was very satisfied, and continued: "Now it is said that the four famous swords in Jiangnan are coming to Shaolin for trouble, according to the poor monks, the weight of these four people is very sufficient, we can start from them." ”

A lamp said: "Abbot, these four people are in the late stage of congenital development, one-on-one, the junior and younger brothers win steadily, even if they are one against two, the junior and younger brothers are confident that they will not be easily defeated, but one against three has no possibility of winning, and one against four is even more useless." ”

"It's okay!"

Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand: "As long as they dare to come, there will naturally be a way to teach them a lesson, what we need to do is to let this matter be known to the people of the rivers and lakes, even if they still misunderstand us as a cult for the time being, we must let them not dare to come to this cult to break ground!"
