Chapter 19 If you don't go crazy, you can't become a Buddha
In addition to the natural qualifications and the inheritance of the legal system, cultivators also need to have great determination and perseverance in order to succeed in cultivation.
People are born with the instinct to sleep at night, and if they want to go against their nature and replace sleep with practice, the mystery of cultivation is also against the sky, and it is inevitable that all kinds of uncomfortable feelings will arise, tormenting and torturing people's will.
Zhang Huansheng sat cross-legged on the bed all night, practiced the "Dragon Elephant Root Sutra" four times, and then got out of bed and endured the drowsiness, and practiced the "Eight or Nine Xuangong" for a while, and finally heard the bell of Chenshi in the distance.
At this moment, the day's cultivation was over, and after he finished his work, his head was dizzy, and he sat on the ground, groggy for a long time before he stood up.
"You have to refresh yourself." Yawning, Zhang Huansheng muttered in his mouth and thought about it, strode out of the Washe, poured cold water in a deep well made of mountain stones nearby, poured it from his head, and shivered all over his body, but his spirit was shocked.
After that, he was satisfied with the water and returned to the Vasher, scrubbed his teeth with green salt a few times, washed his face with soap, then picked up the lacquer plate and walked towards the dining hall in the rising sun.
After breakfast, it was the time for the orphans in Nanyang Tzu Chi Hall to study the text, because the Si Tang was honest and never greedy for public money, so there were as many as six teachers invited.
Zhang Huansheng has been a novice in the Great Sumeru Temple since he was sensible, and in addition to doing some rough work of carrying water and chopping wood to boil his muscles and bones and hone his will, he also meditated and practiced and recited scriptures.
Because he found the stone bowl of the ancient great virtue, whenever he had free time, he secretly visualized the mighty heavenly dragon and the treasure of wisdom.
The great power of the dragon is not enough, the wisdom of the treasure is the most enlightened and wise of the Dharma in the teaching, the visualization of the secret increase of Zhang Huansheng countless wisdom, the practice is extremely fast, at this time do not say that the common Chu character of Yan and Huang, is the ancient seal text, the birthplace of the interpretation of the Tianzhu Sanskrit, he is extremely proficient, but also wrote a good word.
However, when the knowledge is hidden in the belly and is not revealed, no one can see it.
Zhang also looked like a child less than four feet old, no one could have imagined that he would be so knowledgeable, and he had just been sent to Tzu Chi Hall, and he had taken his first morning class, so he was naturally sent to teach the most basic knowledge.
In a large, spacious, well-lit room with a square straw mat, on which fifty or sixty children of different ages sat on the floor, and in front of them lay a simple low table, on which were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
On a three-foot stone platform made of bluestone in front of the lobby, a thin middle-aged man with a goatee and wearing a green cloth scribe's robe stood tall in front of Zhang's old mahogany dwarf, looked at Zhang Huansheng condescendingly, and asked slowly, "Can the boy be enlightened?" ”
"Enlightenment and teaching, the boy suffered from the disease of leaving his soul because of the loss of his father and his mother, and he forgot all the past." Zhang Huansheng replied respectfully.
The human race is still martial, and the folk customs of all countries are that reading is not as good as practicing martial arts, and practicing martial arts is not as good as cultivating the law.
At this time, seeing that Zhang Huansheng was speaking extremely favorably, and his appearance was low and pleasing to his eyes, he couldn't help but feel pity and affection, shook his head and said: "Hey, most of the people who have fallen into this Tzu Chi Hall are orphans, but you have suffered an extra layer of hardship, which is really pitiful, so I will teach you from the beginning."
I remember that my name is Su Zhenchang, and I will be your mentor in the future. ”
"Yes, sir." Zhang Huansheng said respectfully when he heard this, and then pretended to study the "History Chapter" of enlightenment under the guidance of Jiaoxi.
Su Zhenchang taught Zhang Huansheng to recognize a few words alone, while teaching other students, and found that Zhang Huansheng was literate quickly, and ordinary children knew more than a dozen words a day to be considered smart, but he only knew dozens of words in a few teas.
And when Su Zhenchang was shocked by this, Zhang Huansheng's face suddenly showed a painful look, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead for no reason, and he said in a trembling voice: "Teach Xi Rongyu, after the kid has the soul disorder, he is often tormented by that headache, once it happens, he has a headache. ”
If it was other naughty students like this, Su Zhenchang would have felt that he was pretending to be sick, and he would never let it go easily, but he had a good impression of Zhang Huansheng, and he said hurriedly without thinking about it: "In this case, you can go back to cultivate, if it is not good, don't hold on, Xia Sitang is benevolent, and there are doctors in the hall to treat you." ”
"Yes, thank you sir for the reminder." Zhang Huansheng listened to it and got up and gave a deep salute, covered his head and walked out of the school.
Seeing him like this, some of the stubborn students easily got out, and couldn't help but agitate, and shouted in a low voice: "Sir is so unfair, this new kid is sick when he says he is sick, and he will leave when he says he is sick, but we are all liars when we are sick." ”
Hearing this, Su Zhenchang sneered and said: "This newcomer has learned thirty-five words in half an hour, if you can recognize fifteen words a day, you won't get sick, and I will let you play tricks." ”
This is that everyone complains, and they have lost their excuses, so they can only sigh and continue to study honestly, and Zhang Huansheng has since had the freedom not to go to full classes in the morning, and he has learned dozens of words, and Su Zhenchang, who loves him very much, will take the initiative to remind his disciples not to be overly distracted and let him leave.
And after noon, when he practiced martial arts, Zhang Huansheng also drew a gourd in the same way, on the grounds that he had soul disorder and limited energy every day, moved his legs and feet for a while, and then took leave and left.
At first, because the martial arts practitioners had an impression of him, they were far less cherished than Su Zhenchang's pride in his disciples, so they did not allow him to ask for leave every day and return early, until Zhang Huansheng pointed out in his words that he was sent to Tzu Chi Hall by Captain Xiaofeng Military Academy, and this soul disease was also diagnosed by the medical officer of Xiaofeng Army, and this matter was confirmed by Yan Yungao, the head of the mission in Tzu Chi Hall, so there was no more obstacle.
In this way, it took a little care and seven or eight days of hard work, and Zhang Huansheng became the freest orphan in the entire Tzu Chi Hall, and in addition to going to the canteen to eat and spending more than an hour reading every day, he was free for nearly ten hours
And because every time he took a vacation, he never walked around or even ran and played, and he really stayed in his own house and closed his door to cultivate, and people gradually believed that Zhang Huansheng was really because he had the disease of leaving the soul, and he would hurt his mind when he worked hard, and he needed to rest when he was sad, and some dissatisfaction turned into pity.
For this kind of change, Zhang Huansheng, who is clear-hearted, can naturally feel it from the eyes of others looking at him and the attitude towards himself, although he feels secretly funny, but he also readily accepts it.
As long as you can spend all your time practicing the "Dragon Elephant Root Sutra" and "Eight or Nine Xuangong", don't say that people are regarded as weak and sick children with encephalopathy, crazy people, idiots, what does it matter.
As the old saying goes, if you don't go crazy, you can't become a Buddha, if you don't have this point to be commented on, I have the attitude of walking alone, where can I get the opportunity to become a Buddha and an ancestor.
