Chapter Seventy-Four: True Zen
readx;?“ Awesome! I made no secret of my admiration and gave Siddhara a thumbs up: "Blessed are you to die in such a place!" ”
"That's right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info." Siddhara smiled and nodded.
"Old-timer, forgive me for asking a few more words!" I looked at Siddhara with great curiosity and asked, "How did you end up living here because there are no people in this place, and you don't see anything to eat or drink?" ”
"I don't have to eat or drink to survive." Siddhara said, looking at me with some confusion: "Can't you?" ”
I stopped squeaking, looked at the old monk with a frustrated face, and muttered vigorously in my heart, can I survive without eating or drinking? Where can I go?!
"Oh yes! You are a Taoist disciple, and you don't know what we are Buddhists. Siddhara seemed to have thought of something, and said to me with a sudden realization: "Actually, you Chinese monks may not necessarily have my skills. ”
"Skills?" I looked at Siddhara in a daze, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it similar to Bigu's ability?" ”
"Bigu?" Siddhara frowned, then nodded: "It's about the same, but there are still some differences." ”
"You say." I nodded.
"The method I practiced was transformed from yoga, one is to endure hunger, the second is to endure thirst, the third is to feel pain, and the fourth is to be ........free from cold and heat," Siddhara smiled, and did not elaborate with me, but changed the topic after a general introduction: "Without eating or drinking, I can live for about ten years, or even longer than ten years." ”
"If you say that, it's a bit like bitter meditation, right?"
As I spoke, the figure of the bitter monk instantly appeared in my mind, and the old monk's bitter meditation seemed to be very similar to the method that Siddhara said.
"Kuzen?" When Siddhara heard me say this, he was also silent for a while, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "It's different, that method has a bit of a sword going off the rails, and the one I cultivate is mainly based on health preservation." ”
As soon as the words fell, Siddhara asked me, "What do you know about Kuzen?" ”
"I've heard some seniors say that Kuzen seems to be a way to seek the truth through suffering, so as to seek the Buddha's heart." I spoke, slightly wording, and then continued: "Pulling out hair, burning skin, removing flesh, chopping bones, lying on graves, stepping on snowy mountains, walking in the fire, starving flesh, thirst and not drinking........."
Hearing this, Siddhara raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, interrupting me.
"It seems that the Kuzen you know is a little different from the Kuzen I know." Siddhara's smile was still so kind, and when he told me these words, it was quite a taste of an old grandfather giving his grandson popular science, which made me feel an inexplicable warmth in the atmosphere: "What you said is indeed something that people who practice bitter meditation must experience, but the real bitter meditation is different from this. ”
"True Bitter Zen?" I frowned: "Senior, I heard that Kuzen has always been denounced as a foreign way by your Buddhism, right?" ”
"From the perspective of ordinary people, it is like this." Siddhara nodded: "And most people in Buddhism also think that this method is too cruel, so they think so." ”
"If that's the case, there are still some people who think it's the right way?" I couldn't help but be stunned.
"yes, yes." Siddhara laughed, "Especially those who have learned the true meaning of Kuzen are even more eager to take this method and treasure it. ”
"What is the true meaning of bitter meditation?" I grinned, thinking of the old monk Ku, and immediately became curious: "What is the true meaning of Kuzen you are talking about?" ”
"I'll give you an example of what you just said." Siddhara said solemnly: "Pulling out hair, burning skin, removing flesh, chopping bones, and lying on the grave, these five ways seem cruel, but in fact they all have different fruits. ”
"Pulling hair can remove troubles, and burning skin can cleanse the body."
"Removing meat and chopping bones, so that raising animals can give birth to the heart of Buddha."
"Sleeping in the grave, and being accompanied by the yin body can participate in life and death."
"Walking on the snowy mountain, walking in the fire, starving the flesh, thirsty and not drinking, this is not suffering, but on the basis of the previous ones, a special health practice, which is somewhat similar to Bigu Ninja, which is only good for the body, not harmful."
After hearing what Siddhara said, I was still a little confused.
"I can understand everything else, the ........ of removing meat and chopping bones" I asked cautiously, "Isn't it a little too cruel?" ”
"Ordinary people practice bitter meditation, there is no way, and to do this, then it is bound to ask for hardship." Siddhara clasped his hands together and said with a solemn face: "But if there is a method, then the flesh and bones that have been removed will grow back in a very short period of time and achieve the effect of sudden vitality........
"How fast?" I asked, curious.
"It depends on how good the person who practices Bitter Meditation is." Siddhara smiled, "The slowest, about a day, the fastest, but in a snap of a finger." ”
"The true meaning of Kuzen you are talking about is actually the unique method of Kuzen, right?" I frowned and asked in a low voice, "If there is no Dharma, then ordinary monks who practice bitterness and meditation can be regarded as embarking on a crooked path, and they are all asking for hardships, but if there is a Dharma, all this will develop in a good direction, and it will ........."
Speaking of this, I paused slightly, looked at Siddhara with a surprised face, and asked, "If the hair, skin, bones, and flesh can be reborn in a short period of time, wouldn't the monks who practice bitter meditation not be able to die?" ”
"I can't say that." Siddhara shook his head: "Even if you are a person who cultivates bitter meditation, your lifespan is limited, but before the end of your life, a monk who cultivates bitter meditation will indeed not die due to external forces. ”
"It's ....... It's a bit appalling........" I couldn't help but swallow and said in disbelief: "I've never heard of this kind of thing in my life, and I haven't seen anything like it in a book........"
"It's normal." Siddhara smiled and said, "There are definitely not many people in this world who can have the right way to practice bitter meditation, and when I was still alive, I only saw three such people. ”
Actually, at that time, my brain was opened, if people who practice bitter meditation can really produce flesh and blood so quickly, then if they focus on their taste and run to sell "meat", then they will not have to make a lot of money? There is no profit!
"Fuck ........" I thought of those brain-opening pictures, and suddenly I couldn't help retching, this taste seems to be too heavy, and human meat barbecued pork buns don't come with such an act........
"What's wrong with you?" Siddhara asked, his expression a little confused.
"Nope! Not much! I shook my head in a hurry, and hurriedly changed the topic: "You said that you can last ten years without eating or drinking, so your lifespan is not at the point of ten years?" ”
"yes." Siddhara smiled and nodded, not at all feeling unlucky to talk about it: "After a few years here, I'll die." ”
"Why don't you go to reincarnation?" I asked.
"I don't want to go yet." Siddhara sighed: "In this mountain, there is a hidden avenue, and when I realize what I want, I will be willing to go." ”
As he spoke, Siddhara winked at me.
"I finally came in, so I can't leave empty-handed, right?"
"That's right,......." I nodded, then turned my face and looked over the mountain road, and said, "Senior, when I have the chance, I'll come to talk to you again, I have to leave now." ”
"yes, okay." Siddhara didn't hold me, smiled kindly, and patted me on the shoulder: "I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, so it's a bit too much, thank you for staying with me for so long." ”
"Hey! That's a bit polite! I stood up with a smile, patted my pants, and said, "You are an old-timer, I have learned a lot from talking to you for so long, and I should thank you!" ”
Siddhara smiled and didn't speak, but looked at me deeply.
"When you go up this mountain, be careful."
"Huh?" I was stunned: "Didn't you say that there was no obstacle?" ”
"It's not an obstacle.......," Siddhara looked at me without saying anything, sighed, and said nothing.
I hummed and didn't ask it any more, and after stretching comfortably, I raised my hand and hugged my fist at it.
"Goodbye, old-timers."
