Chapter 420: Bodhidharma

Taking the big risk of angering one's own woman in order to have some special relationship with a group of female ghosts who don't know what to look like grandparents is too costly and not worth it, in my opinion, this kind of thing, only a fool can do it

I'm not a fool, so I will never do this kind of thing, for a man who has been lonely for half his life, coaxing a good wife is the most basic starting point for dealing with the world.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that my character was still quite good.

Seeing me giggling there with my own thoughts, Ding Ling and the ghost both looked at me with a confused expression, and the two women shook their heads very speechlessly, as if to say, "This stupid boy is not saved".

I didn't mind their eyes, chatting very warmly with those armed police officers and soldiers, and after leaving the small restaurant, I sent Ding Ling and the ghost back, and went to a certain urban cultural center located in a very hidden corner by myself.

Because the road is relatively far, I didn't dare to walk, I waited on the side of the road for half an hour to wait for a taxi, but the driver of the taxi was a bit excessive, and the road was in disrepair and very uneven, and when I arrived at that place, my feet were soft and almost fell, followed by the nausea, and finally took out the money to send the driver uncle away, and I was already confused as if I was going to die.

I held on to an old tree with a crooked neck on the side of the road, retched for a while, and then squatted down with a sweaty head, and it took a long time to relieve a little, looking at the surprised eyes of passers-by, the old face was red, and I was amused by my own bear-like appearance.

"Yo, you're still motion sickness?" As I was uncomfortable, an old man with an oversized cardboard box that seemed to be used for household appliances came over, and I smiled wryly when I saw him tilting his head and smiling.

"I used to have this problem, but then I didn't, no, I was accidentally hooked out by that old brother again, how about you, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's okay here." As I spoke, I covered my forehead and wiped the sweat from my face.

When the old man heard this, he waved his hand with a smile: "There is a problem, but it doesn't matter for the time being, how about it, can you go, if you can go, you can come with me, I think, you kid must have something to tell me!" ”

After saying this, the old man walked over from my side, he was not tall, his face was full of wrinkles, I was a little unbearable to see him alone with such a big box, but just about to reach out to help, the old man waved his hand and signaled me not to move: "No need for you, no need for you, my old man has no great ability, but his body is okay, this kind of trivial matter, let me do it myself!" What's the matter, you're done with it? You even had time to come to me. ”

The old man said, put the cardboard box sealed with duct tape on the ground, and untied a bunch of keys around his waist, and looked for the old man for a long time before opening the small courtyard with the doorway, and I took a look, except for a plaque on the side of the doorway that did not look very eye-catching, the appearance of this place was no different from the most typical northern houses.

Because we entered through the side door on the west side, we didn't see whether the gate was open, from the feeling of it, this place is quite closed, fortunately, although the courtyard is not spacious, it is also refreshing and clean, and then look at the old man's dress, there is a very particular person, I glanced at this small courtyard, no one has seen, even my senior brother who is the old man's follower has not appeared.

Looking at the only building in this courtyard, that is, a very rigid two-story building that does not look high-end at all, I suddenly feel a little desolate, although it is said that the cultural relics department has always been a relatively unvalued institution, but it is also a city-level unit, not to mention this small place where birds don't, why is it so shabby?

But after following the old man into the small building, I found that it was not the same thing at all, although there are some fake cultural relics that imitate very real things, but a few things casually placed in the window are really good goods, this thing just can't be shot, otherwise, the big and small Tang Sancai alone is a valuable thing.

I looked at these things, and I was unconsciously fascinated, and I swept them one by one in a dumbfounded manner, forgetting what I was here for, and was stunned by the four unnamed pictures hanging on the wall, but the old man knocked on the door of his office and said with a smile: "Eh, what are you looking at, boy?" What is painted on it is the story of Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed, which is completely different from those of you who have learned the Tao! ”

"Oh, that's right." After listening to him, I looked at it twice, and saw that on the screen, a homeless man with a watermelon head and a hemp rope tied to his body was standing by the river at a loss, and I really couldn't see that this product was the famous Bodhidharma Patriarch

As the most far-reaching "first ancestor of Zen Buddhism" in China, many of the ideas and views of Patriarch Bodhidharma are highly respected, among which the saying of "becoming a Buddha with one thought" is the most typical example.

You know, Buddhism is about merit and retribution, which is roughly the same as Taoist calligraphy, that is to say, in the eyes of those monks, what are you doing now, what will you become in the future, these things in the past and this life are grounded, you are now suffering more, accumulating more merits, then, the greater the chance of detachment in the future, in fact, this is the most typical self-paralyzing psychology, fundamentally speaking, there is no difference with Mr. Lu Xun's Ah Q's spiritual victory method, to put it bluntly, It is to give a little psychological comfort to those who have suffered unfair treatment.

But after hundreds of years of transmission of this ancient teachings, there was such a person as Bodhidharma, who traveled all over the world like an ascetic, knew the mystery of Buddhism, and finally realized it after sitting in the cave of Shaolin Temple without eating or drinking for several months, not only leaving his shadow on the stone wall, but also creating a line of Zen Buddhism that has influenced the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

Zen Buddhism is different from what Tiantai sect, Huayan sect, and even the Eastern Secret Tibetan Secret School of Buddhism, which does not emphasize the form, but emphasizes the cultivation of the mind, they believe that when a person's spiritual realm meets the requirements, then, the person can become a Buddha, as for what he did in his previous life and this life, that is secondary, to say a word of conscience, this concept greatly lowers the threshold for a commoner to achieve positive results, therefore, it quickly became popular in the Central Plains.
