Chapter 50: Art and Zen

The appearance of the law on the table in front of Zhao Zhong is like jade and stone, shining under the lamplight. After bowing to him, he straightened up and turned to look at the middle-aged monk beside him.

"Amitabha.."

But after the monk heard Zhao Zhong's previous words, he was a little surprised for a while, and asked with a Buddha call: "Donor, you don't have your own Dharma in front of you, only the golden body of Rulai." This worship, the worship is obviously my Buddha, why do you say that you worship yourself? ”

"It doesn't matter what a Buddha is. In today's world, it's all the Buddhas of the past. Zhao Zhong first returned the salute, and then said: "And I am now the present Buddha, and I am also my future Buddha." Isn't worshipping Buddha worshipping oneself? ”

He said, quoting the famous Buddhist scripture of 'Dafang Guang Buddha Huayan Sutra': "It is like writing in a Buddhist scripture, when you come to preach under the Bodhi tree, the first sentence you say is, 'Wonderful! Amazing! How can these sentient beings have the wisdom of the future, and they are foolish and confused, and they do not know what they do not see? I should teach him the holy way, so that he will never be free from delusional attachments, and he will see in himself that the great wisdom of the Buddha is no different from that.'" ”

Between his words, Zhao Zhong looked at the Dharma Minister, and said to the monk beside him: "This sentence of the Buddha is not my nonsense. But when the Buddha came to enlightenment, he said that everyone has their own Buddha in their own hearts, and everyone is also their own Buddha, and they can become Buddhas when they realize it, so why should they worship other Buddhas? ”

Zhao Zhong smiled, and after seeing the middle-aged monk's frowning appearance, he made a Buddha salute and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, some people worship Buddha every day, and what they worship is actually themselves, and they seek their own future." Instead of worshipping the past. So, everyone is their own present Buddha and future Buddha. The daily worship of the Buddha is not to seek the stone statue in front of him, but to seek himself. ”

"Amitabha.."

When the middle-aged monk heard this, he thought for a while, and after calling the Buddha number, he did not answer Zhao Zhong.

Because everyone's philosophy is different, he doesn't want to argue with Zhao Zhong about anything.

But now that he heard Zhao Zhong's remarks, he was a little more curious about what kind of Buddhist Zen principles were recorded in the "book" in the benefactor's words, so that he could be speechless.

"I still learned too little and didn't understand it thoroughly. It seems that I still need to read more, and I can't be touched by gold and silver."

When the monk looked at the precious jade statue in the shop, he shook his head and smiled.

Then, he didn't hide anything, and directly made a Buddhist gift to Zhao Zhong and asked, "Donor, can you borrow that book from the little monk to take a look?"

When the words fell, the monk was a little nervous, afraid that Zhao Zhong would not let him see it. There was nothing he could do, after all, he had seen that the benefactor was a police officer with a "high rank".

"Okay."

But after Zhao Zhong heard it, he didn't have any other thoughts, but just felt that this task was completed.

"I don't know what reward I can get this time.." Zhao Zhong looked forward to it in his heart, and took out the book of "Buddhism and Taoism" in his arms while covering it with his coat, as if he was carrying it at any time.

But in fact, he took it out of his mobile phone, but it was covered by a coat, and the monk didn't see anything.

However, when the monk saw it, he had no other thoughts, because his eyes were now attracted by this scripture.

"Thank you, donor."

After thanking him, he took it with both hands and gently turned the first page as if he were looking at a treasure.

"Great Treasure King Buddha?" In his eyes, what he saw was all kinds of Zen Buddhist sayings, what he had seen and heard about the past, and the Buddha who he had never heard of.

But. In addition to these Buddhas, he has not heard of them, the Buddhist concepts in it, as well as what various Buddhas and monks have seen and heard when they have stepped through the falsehood, are very real, like personal experience.

So, when he saw it, he was fascinated.

"Maybe only a monk can read such a book full of Buddhist words with relish."

After Zhao Zhong saw the monk's fascinated appearance, he shook his head and smiled, and did not disturb the monk's reading.

He scanned the room, found a random place to sit down, and then took out the phone in his arms to see what the task was.

Wow—

When the phone is turned on, an unread text message is displayed on it.

Zhao Zhong took a look, and after clicking on it, the task of "seeing and hearing the Buddha's way" was also displayed inside.

【Trigger Mission: Spell】

Technique: After handing over the Buddha's insights and experiences to the monks, one can obtain a system of exercises suitable for the holder's cultivation.

Success: Gain the favor of the monks.

[Failure: None]

Here are all the task tips on your phone.

"Sorcery?"

After Zhao Zhong read it, he was a little curious, wondering if this technique was a boxing book like Luohan Boxing, or a secret book for cultivating Buddha.

Because he wanted to come to this shop that sold incense, and the owner was also a monk, he couldn't come up with Taoist exercises.

"It's Luohan Boxing, or what, I'll know when the master finishes reading what he has seen and heard about Buddhism.."

Zhao Zhong thought in his heart, and was about to wait until the monk woke up from his addiction before asking, but it just so happened that the monk seemed to feel that his behavior had snubbed the benefactor in the shop, and he also looked away from the book and looked up at Zhao Zhong.

"The little monk was negligent for a while and neglected the donor."

The monk's face was apologetic, and he called a Buddha name.

"It's okay, it's human nature." Zhao Zhong shook his head, not minding.

"Thank you for your understanding." After the monk called the Buddha again, he said, and when he looked at Zhao Zhong's strong figure, he seemed to think for a moment, then stood up and took out a yellowed book from a dilapidated cabinet.

"This book is a book in the early years when the little monk master was in the temple to treat a master of national arts, the master of national art read in the master's life-saving grace, deliberately left a book of boxing and his own experience, I want the monks in the temple to polish their bodies and add some fists and feet physique. However, in the early years, with the death of the master immortal, the brothers and sisters have already gone their separate ways.."

When the monk held the book in his hand, his eyes were filled with nostalgia, as if he remembered his master.

Similarly, he also saw Zhao Zhong's strong figure before, and felt that this benefactor should like to exercise regularly, so he wanted to give Zhao Zhong this boxing experience that he had practiced but could not be proficient in, and gave it to Zhao Zhong in exchange for Buddhist experience.

It's just that between his words, he seems to be a little embarrassed, not that this is his master's item is not a good gift, but that he is afraid that this book can be exchanged for Buddhism and Taoism.

In particular, his next words also prove this.

"The little monk sees that the donor is strong, and he should have practiced some fists and feet. Therefore, I don't know if this book can be exchanged for your 'Buddhist scriptures'. Or let the little monk expand a copy and burn it to the immortal master.."

The monk held the book in both hands with anticipation and handed it to Zhao Zhong.
