Chapter 501: Mr. Yang Ming
Fang Hong sat in the house for a while, and then a little novice brought some vegetarian food, and at the same time, some Buddhist scriptures. He glanced at www.biquge.info Diamond Sutra, the Lengyan Sutra and the Six Ancestors Altar Sutra.
The small Zen temple is a branch of Buddhism Zen Buddhism, Zen Buddhism does not pay attention to reading the scriptures, but seeks famous teachers, with the heart to initiate. These scriptures sent by the novice have a very special status in Zen Buddhism.
Many people know that Zen Buddhism has six ancestors. The first ancestor Bodhidharma, the second ancestor Huike, the third ancestor Seng Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren and the sixth ancestor Huineng. Among the six ancestors, the most well-known are the first ancestor Bodhidharma and the sixth ancestor Huineng. Among them, this "Lengyan Sutra" is the scripture of the initiation of the first ancestor Bodhidharma for the second ancestor. The "Diamond Sutra" is a classic of the five ancestors' initiation for Hui Neng, which is regarded as some scriptures that Zen must read.
As for this "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs", it is not to mention, it is a classic of the six ancestors in their later years, which was collected by Zen Buddhism, dictated by him, and recorded by his disciples
Perhaps because Fang Hong gave so much money, the people in the Xiaochan Temple were almost extremely attentive to Fang Hong, and took out all the important scriptures in his own hands.
After the little novice left, Fang Hong picked up a scripture book and flipped it a few times at random.
"All appearances are false!" was a page he casually flipped through, and the sight was eight big characters. And Fang Hong's thoughts were shocked, like a bronze bell Da Lu, drinking as a stick, as if he had enlightenment, but he couldn't catch anything.
"When you think about it, you break it, you don't follow it, you feel it when you think about it, and you don't feel it. "Throughout the Diamond Sutra, every word is wisdom, and it is also the fundamental practice method, according to which you can practice and enter immortality.
This scripture is definitely not equivalent to the "Nanhua Sutra", although the two Taoist concepts are different, but they are both talking about the Tao. "Nanhua Sutra" is water, pay attention to the understanding of the heart of heaven, in order to seek the unity of heaven and man, and the state of mind is complete. And the "Diamond Sutra" is a knife, as its name says, pay attention to great courage and fearlessness, cut off all laws, cut off all troubles. Whatever you have in your heart, I will kill them all.
Fang Hong flipped through the "Diamond Sutra" and spent an hour of effort reading it from beginning to end. His divine body shone brightly, and every thought, up and down, became like a diamond, dazzling, with a hint of immortal taste.
"The predecessors have already planned the path of cultivation, and Shinto is just one of them. It wasn't until late afternoon that he finished all three books. After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh.
No matter which Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are all the classics that have been handed down, they are all fundamental methods, and they can all be used for practice. Vaguely, he had some glimpse of the road ahead, but it was still unclear.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Fang Hong pushed the door and walked out. The sunset filled the western sky and reflected in the courtyard, dyeing all the scenery red.
I don't know when two people were already sitting under the peach tree in the courtyard. These two people, one is an old monk wearing a robe, and the other is a middle-aged man with a thin face and a Taoist crown.
The moment Fang Hong saw this middle-aged man, his eyes shrank slightly. This person's life is bruised, his luck is broad, and he is clearly the appearance of a first- or second-class master. Of course, that alone wasn't enough to surprise him. Fang Hong is a person who has even seen the emperor, the prince and the grandfather of the country, this scene is nothing.
The most important thing is that outside of this human life, a white light rises straight into the sky, which is the spiritual light of wisdom, and it is the light that will only appear after reading and reading thoroughly. Ordinary readers, even if they have read all the holy scriptures, if they do not have the samadhi, then their spiritual light will be dim, and their wisdom will not be able to germinate.
"It turns out that there is another little friend here. The middle-aged man seemed to notice something, and as soon as he raised his head, he looked towards Fang Hong. Being stared at by this gaze, Fang Hong only felt that there was nothing to hide, although he was now wearing Wang Ke's skin, he was sure that the other party could see it was his divine body.
Under the other party's gaze, all the magical powers in Fang Hong's body were frozen, and he could no longer use them.
It is rumored that there was a great Confucian in ancient times, who did not cultivate the physical body, did not cultivate the soul, and only cultivated a breath of Haoran in the chest. With a loud shout, the gods and ghosts were cleared, and the supernatural powers were lost. In the past, Fang Hong regarded it as a folk story, but now it seems that this matter is true.
"Mr. Yang Ming, let me introduce to you, this is Master Fang, who is going to stay here for a few days. The old monk smiled and nodded, and said softly to the middle-aged man.
"Little friend, let's come over for tea together. The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and beckoned to Fang Hong. If an ordinary person does this, it will definitely make people feel frivolous, but in this case, it is extremely natural, and it seems that it should be the way it should be.
Fang Hong nodded and sat next to the two. If you look at this middle-aged man closely, you will find that although there are deep wrinkles on his forehead at the corners of his eyes, his skin is faintly fluorescent, and he looks very moist.
Of course, the human body does not shine, but as the saying goes, "there is poetry and books in the belly". This person has read books to the bones, his thoughts are pure and pure, and he has an excellent grasp of heaven and earth and his own truth. Every move, word and deed is in line with the natural laws of heaven and earth, and a trace of detachment will be born from the heart.
"Little friend, but you're from the water's edge?" The middle-aged man reached out and poured Fang Hong a cup of tea, the tea was not a good tea, it was just an ordinary wild tea tree in the mountains that picked the leaves and stir-fried and boiled it. But the taste has a hint of fragrant aroma that makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
"My lord has good eyesight, and I'm here from the water's edge. Being called out of his identity, Fang Hong was not surprised at all. This person's realm is extremely high, and he has nothing to hide in front of him.
"My lord, haha, you are too polite, if you have the heart, just call me Mr. Yang Ming. When the middle-aged man heard Fang Hong's name, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly, and he immediately laughed again.
This person's name is Wang Shouren, the word Bo'an, and the name Yangming. A few days ago, he had just been appointed by the imperial court to the governor of Ganting, and he had just come here and had not yet taken office. Because he is low-key, even Jiangxi's big and small officials don't know that he has arrived.
"It turns out that Your Excellency is Mr. Yang Ming, and my uncle admires you very much. As soon as he heard this person's name, Fang Hong suddenly realized who he should have such a high level of Confucianism, it turned out to be the famous Wang Shouren.
His third uncle, Lin Xianyuan, likes Xinxue very much, and often talks about Wang Yangming with Fang Hong, Fang Hong has listened to it for a long time, and he also keeps this master of Xinxue in his heart.
He originally thought that this master of mind was just a sour and rotten Confucian student, who would only talk about the truth. Unexpectedly, the other party's realm is so high, and since the establishment of Confucianism, I am afraid that he can also enter the top few.
I'm running around these days, and the updates aren't very stable, sorry
