Chapter 422: Golden Body
In this way, a monk who was originally unknown as a cook suddenly walked into everyone's field of vision, this person was like a sweeping monk who suddenly came out of "Tianlong Babu", and suddenly put down many masters, swept the monk circle with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and soon became the proud protégé of the five ancestors Hongren, and also the number one seed player in the mantle of Zenmen!
Facts have proved that those who can shine are people with a little ability, and the title of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism is not in vain, after the death of the five ancestors, Huineng took over Zen Buddhism, lectured everywhere, promoted Buddhism, and soon became a well-known monk, and added a lot of mystery to this monk, or his corpse.
Of course, out of respect, we all call him the golden body, because the corpse of this monk is different from ordinary people. A monk sits there, wearing a robe, the person is dead, the body is not decomposed, it has been handed down for thousands of years, and it is still like a mummy without a sign of corruption.
People in the Buddhist family say that Huineng Patriarch, the golden body does not change, such things have appeared all over the country, and most of the people who have this situation are Zen leaders or masters who have attained the Tao, and the reason for this is still in the inner cultivation.
In Hinayana Buddhism, this monk has different cultivation processes and is divided into four realms, that is, what we say, the first fruit "Sudra Huanguo", the second fruit "Situ Hanguo", the third fruit "Anahanguo", and the four fruits "Arhat Fruit", these four represent the four stages of the cultivation stage (fruit position), which together are called "Four Fruit Arhats", but as long as you can get one of them, even if you are a high monk, people who can reach Arhat Fruit are even rarer, but once you reach this realm, Buddhists think that this person, It is the boundless mana that can forge the body of Vajra.
Huineng Patriarch, when a person dies, his body will not decay for thousands of years, which shows that his cultivation and realm have reached a certain height, and it is natural that there is nothing to doubt.
Moreover, in the history of Zen Buddhism, there are more awesome than him, such as the Bodhidharma, back then, he went to the palace to talk to Emperor Wu of Liang to preach the scriptures, and he was prepared to fight a protracted war, but everyone knows what happened to the palace in the past, basically, in that circle of walls, there are two kinds of people, the emperor and the emperor's son.
Although Patriarch Bodhidharma is a monk, it is easy to cause trouble if he stays in a place full of women for a long time, not to mention him, wasn't the Buddha also entangled in scandals? Therefore, on the one hand, it is to respect the rules, on the other hand, in order to block the tongue of the world, in order to allow himself to gain enough trust, Patriarch Bodhidharma entered the palace after "purifying".
But everyone knows the result, something went wrong with this, it didn't work out, it seems that the Bodhidharma Patriarch is a big loss, however, according to the records of relevant historical materials, the Bodhidharma Patriarch miraculously recovered after doing some minor surgery on himself, in the words of the time, called "there are supernatural powers, regeneration".
What does that mean? That is to say, this person has the ability, and things that are not originally lost can still grow, so almost all the portraits of the Bodhidharma Patriarch have a beard. We can think about it, if this thing is true, then, this is indeed very awesome, much more awesome than what the body does not rot and King Kong does not break.
To be honest, this incident surprised me for a few days, but after checking the relevant information, it seems that there is really such a thing.
The matter of Bodhidharma was recognized by the people at that time, and Huineng's golden body is still in Nanhua Temple in Guangdong Province.
I have seen the corpse, it is indeed flesh, it has not decayed for 1300 years, the body has changed to that strange color similar to red sandalwood, and, unlike most dried corpses that do not decay, Master Huineng's golden body is very peaceful.
However, while I am amazed, some people question this, because the pictorial I read is controlled by the mainstream ideology, and I can guess the author's position with the palm of my feet.
According to their evidence, most of the evidence is the memories of some Red Guards during the ten years of turmoil, because, since the death of Master Huineng, this golden body has always been very respected, even if the war burned to the temple, no one dared to touch it, but those Red Guards who were determined to sweep away a qiē cow, ghost, snake and god were different, that is not afraid of heaven and earth.
In order to find out whether the golden body is true or false, some people took a kitchen knife to cut the golden body of Huineng Patriarch, which is said to be open from the position of the back, and after opening it, it was all strips of cloth, straw, iron rods or something, so everyone's hanging heart was put down, and they scolded and coaxed, saying that this was just to scare people, and it was simply a trick!
The so-called evidence in that pictorial is almost all relaying this story in different tones, which seems to make sense, but there is no solid evidence to support it. And what made me even more speechless was that I later saw some discussions about this incident in the school library, which also relayed some similar memoirs, but those who claimed to have witnessed the whole process said that after cutting off Huineng's golden body, everyone found that the corpse was full of internal organs, and it was originally a complete corpse that had not moved hands and feet!
Seeing this scene, the Red Guard who was using a kitchen knife at that time was frightened, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they fled in a hurry and did not dare to come forward, and because of this, the corpse was spared and has been preserved to this day!
See, in fact, if you carefully study the modern Chinese literature, there are a lot of similar things, whether it is true or false, just make out what one person said and dare to take it out as evidence, different people cite it, it can be self-contradictory, and, whether it is right or wrong, the person who speaks, one by one, pretends to be upright, so that you can't believe it.
So, some things, often the more you know, the more confused you feel, like this, I would have seen it for a long time, if it weren't for my own experience or enough confidence to speculate on the mystery, like this kind of bizarre anecdotes I listen to as a pleasure, anyway, just to relieve boredom, after tea and dinner to talk about it is quite fun, that is, to please the audience, and harmless.
Especially stupid girls like Ding Ling and Ghost Ghost, who like to listen to me babble about similar things, things that I have almost forgotten, as soon as I see the four scrolls here, I immediately think of them.
