"Sister, you don't have to worry about me, my Pei family has been a Buddha for generations, so I have my father today. So let me end the cause. ”

In the study, a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old was very sensible and persuaded the beautiful young woman with reddish eyes. Behind the two of them, stood a middle-aged man with a gentle black beard, with a hint of solemnity on his body.

"Hey, Wende, I'm proud of you for my father!"

The black-bearded middle-aged man saw that his son was so sensible, sighed softly, came to the desk, and wrote a verse.

Send the son into the empty door with sorrow, and plant good roots day and night.

The body and eyes should not be dyed with wealth, and the heart of the Tao must be cold to the years;

Read the scriptures and recite the Buddha according to the teacher's teachings, and repay the four kindnesses with a clear heart.

He suddenly became a great weapon one day, and he was the only one in heaven on earth!

......

"The child will live up to his father's expectations!"

Looking at his father, who seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, the handsome young man was also slightly sore in his heart, and he left home at a young age, and he didn't know when he would return.

After the ink dried, the middle-aged man wrote three words at the beginning...... "Police Notes", which exhorted his son to learn diligently, simple and touching.

The next day, it was dawn!

The handsome boy rode in a carriage with his father and said goodbye to his mother and sister. After more than ten days, I finally came to the Miyin Temple.

"Zen Master Lingyou, Wu'er Wende will be handed over to you in the future!"

Judging from the face, no one will know that the yellow-skinned, skinny monk in front of him is actually a famous Zen monk Lingyu.

"Good!"

Zen Master Lingyu just lightly said a word, a dry index finger pointed out, and the young man only felt that his scalp was light, and the long black hair that he had raised since birth had been scattered and falling with the wind.

"Zen Master, I don't know what my name is?"

After entering the Buddha's door, in addition to the gradient, the most important thing is this Dharma name, which represents the Dharma of Zen Buddhism.

"Today, Pei Xiang and Ling Gongzi arrived. The Dharma building in the temple is windless and automatic, and under the feeling of the heart, I got the word 'Fahai'!"

"Fahai, I don't know what the allusion is?"

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Pei Xiu has a deep understanding of various religious classics, but he doesn't know which Buddhist scriptures Ludao Fahai is.

"The Ganges sand Buddha land, there is a Buddha country called the Dharma Building, there is a Buddha named Fahai Lei Yin Rulai, the Buddha land is pure and troubleless, full of light, fragrant fragrance. There are no evil tastes, and there is no male and female desire, they are all lotus incarnations. I hope that Ling Gongzi will be able to attain profound meditation in the future and go to the Pure Land of the Dharma Building!"

"Nan Wu Amitabha, thank you Master for giving me the Dharma name!"

The young man was very smart, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed to the yellow-skinned monk in front of him.

"Wende, you have to take care of yourself in the future, for your father......"

Pei Xiu said the most embarrassed, and looked at the handsome little monk in front of him who had shaved off three thousand troubles. His eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but hug his son into his arms.

"Father, the child will sit down with the Zen master to pray for His Royal Highness the prince and learn Zen Buddhism. ”

The way of the world today. Buddhism prevails, and the one that adheres to the authenticity of Mahayana Buddhism is Zen Buddhism. Started from Bodhidharma and flourished in the six ancestors Huineng. In today's most prosperous situation.

The high degree of development inevitably led to sectarian divisions, just like the Daomen during the Song Dynasty. When Zen Buddhism was passed down to the sixth generation, it was divided into two sects, the North and the South.

Among them, the head of Southern Zen Buddhism is the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, and the Northern Zen Buddhism is the first disciple of the Five Patriarchs Hongren Master Shenxiu.

But since the demise of Master Shenxiu more than ten years ago. There was no successor to Northern Zen Buddhism, and it was almost cut off.

On the contrary, it is Southern Zen Buddhism, after the six ancestors Hui Neng received the heart seal and lived in the Prajna Temple, it gradually reached unprecedented prosperity. The disciples under the seat can come out in large numbers, and each of them creates a Pure Land inheritance.

Among them, the most famous are the five schools of Zen Buddhism, namely the Rinzai sect, the Caodong sect, the Weiyang sect, the Yunmen sect, and the Dharma Eye sect.

And Lingyu Zen Master is the presiding officer of the Weiyang Sect among the five schools, with high morality and profound Buddhism. The young man was able to sit down with him, in addition to his father being the prime minister of the court, but also because he was a monk on behalf of His Royal Highness the prince this time, and his status was noble.

Watching his father's carriage disappear from sight from afar, the young man sighed softly, touched his smooth scalp a little unaccustomedly, and returned to the main hall of the Miyin Temple.

The yellow-skinned, thin-skinned Lingyu Zen Master was still sitting on the futon, with his back to him, facing the golden Buddha statue of Shakyamuni, and slowly turning the Buddha beads in his hand.

Bursts of invisible meditation qi, mixed with the pure sandalwood and Sanskrit qi, enveloped the young man, leading him into a dreamlike pure land of bliss without any troubles.

The pure land is full of light everywhere, the ground is flat, it is made of glass treasure, the city outline is made of the emperor's green treasure, it is built by gold and silver for eight wide roads, the eaves and windows and railings on the building, the palace and the small building are all decorated by various precious stones, the heavenly fragrance treasure trees are arranged in rows, and the branches are hung with the ribbons of the sky.

The young man was in it, as if he had witnessed supreme meditation and enlightenment. Unconsciously, his footsteps moved lightly, confirming this Pure Land of Bliss with his own footprints.

Everywhere you can see the hanging bells playing beautiful music in the breeze, as if they are all extolling the impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and selflessness of the Dharma. When the young man heard this, he just wanted to give up the entanglement of desires, and all kinds of bad habits gradually disappeared, and the mystery of pure meditation gradually unfolded towards him.

Wonderful and strange fragrant flowers appeared out of thin air, fell one after another, blooming brilliantly around him, sandalwood filled his ears and nose, making his state of mind more calm, as if he had become a monk, and knew the birth and death of billions of generations in the world with a thought.

There are eight baths on all sides of the Buddha land, the bottom is covered with golden sand, and the perfume is full. Just as he wanted to enter it to wash away his dirt, the Pure Land disappeared like a bubble.

The boy returned to the main hall again, and the thin Zen master was still facing away from him, the Buddhist beads in his hand turned slightly, and the chanting of Sanskrit sounds entered his ears, as if to tell him that everything just now was just a dream.

"Please give the Dharma to the Master!"

The young man was bright since he was a child, and he immediately knew that the Pure Land landscape that he had just seen was his own master who brought his soul into his own supreme meditation realm. Immediately knelt down in front of the emaciated Zen master at the gate, folded his hands, and was very respectful.

The most resentful resentment in my heart for being sent to the Buddha also disappeared under the Dafa of Buddhism.

"Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity. It should be viewed as such!"

Zen Master Lingyu turned his back to the young man, unable to see the expression on his face, but softly said a word of Buddha.

It is also strange to say that when the Zen master recites this Buddha's words, the chanting Sanskrit sound that resounded through the hall did not stop at all, as if there were two Zen masters who were saying the Buddha's words while chanting, and the magic power was immeasurable.

"This "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" was obtained by the teacher when he visited the Buddha beside Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master, and it can be regarded as the foundation of our lineage of Buddhism, you can take it to enlightenment. ”

Baizhang Huaihai is the heir of the inheritance of Matsu Daoyi. And Matsu Daoyi is the eldest disciple of the sixth ancestor Huineng, and it can be said that the young man is now the most descendant of Zen Buddhism.

A pale yellow scripture flew out of Lingyu Zen Master's hand and landed precisely into the young man's hands, without the slightest fluctuation of qi during the period, as if it was a magic spell.

The teenager can be regarded as a family student, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he thinks that he is also a good player among the young generation of the rivers and lakes. But today, when I saw the unbelievable Dharma supernatural powers of this yellow-skinned and thin-skinned old monk in front of me, the arrogance in my heart began to converge. From the bottom of my heart, I made a big gift to this cheap master.

The sutra is only a thin volume, with a slightly yellowed paper and countless annotations of different notes, and it can be said to be the oldest sutra in Zen Buddhism.

The Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra is referred to as the Diamond Sutra. It contains the most classic Buddhist mantras of Zen Buddhism. It was widely circulated in the world, and there was also a volume in the boy's home.

The content is the same, more than 5,000 words of mantra, word for word. It contains profound Buddhist teachings. However, what Lingyu Zen Master passed on to him was more precious than the tens of thousands of volumes of the worldly "Diamond Sutra" combined.

Because the above annotation is not only a hundred zhang Huaihai, Matsu Daoyi. There is also the handwriting of the six ancestors Huineng.

In addition to these annotations of Zen masters who can recognize the Buddha's name, there are still more than a dozen unnamed master's handwritten annotations without a name, but with profound Buddhist principles.

This is the most precious ancient "Diamond Sutra" that has witnessed the history of Zen Buddhism, with a long history, and the faint Sanskrit light is revealed from the commentary, reflecting on the handsome face of the young man, showing a trace of treasure solemnity.

"The first product, the cause of the puja!"

"When I heard this, at one time, the Buddha was in the garden of solitude in the garden of solitude, and there were 1,250 people with the great bhikkhus. At that time, when the world-honored one was eating, he wore clothes and held a bowl, and went into the city to beg for food. In the city, he begged and returned to this place. After eating, the mantle is collected, the feet are washed, and the seat is sitting. ”

From the annotations of Baizhang Huaihai next to him, the young man realized that this chapter is about "dressing and eating is the way, and ordinary heart is the way." ”

Flipping through the pages, feeling the edification of the supreme Buddha's words, the young man only felt the various miscellaneous thoughts accumulated in his heart on weekdays, and the desire dissipated, and the whole person's heart gradually moved closer to the purity of Buddhism.

It's just that after he finished reading the entire "Diamond Sutra", he frowned slightly.

Because, this sutra only tells about all kinds of Buddhist teachings, what you have seen and heard!

But there is not the slightest trace of the method of cultivating supernatural powers, and the state of mind has not yet reached the realm of meditation, and the pursuit of "Buddhism" in their hearts is even more than "Buddhism"!

"Master, disciple seeks the Fa!"

Eventually, the boy closed the scroll in his hand and pleaded to the emaciated Zen master who was still facing away from him.

"Our Zen practice is based on reason, and the law is the end. Are you sure you want to abandon the Origin Dao and cultivate the side things?"

Hearing this, the young man hesitated slightly, but thought of the supreme feeling of being in charge of the birth and death of the billions of worlds just now, and nodded firmly.

"In that case, then you must first have a 'realm' that is sufficient to carry the 'Dharma'. ”

"Dare to ask Master, what should a disciple do?"

"There are more than 500 resident monks in the temple, but the nearest water source is five miles away, would you like to carry water back and forth every day?" (to be continued......
