Chapter 468: What is a Buddha?

Although the broken temple looks dilapidated, but when I got closer, I found that everything was cleaned up in order, although the old monk was old, he looked very calm, that kind of tranquil mentality, as if there was a magical aura, so that Wu Di felt calm from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Di's eyes lit up, and he found that he had really found what he had always wanted to see, and from this old monk's body, he seemed to see a little bit of Buddhahood.

Living in this kind of place, and cleaning everything up and spotless, this is the true Buddha he is looking for.

So Wu Di stepped forward respectfully and asked the gray-robed monk, "Hello, are you a one-fingered master?"

At this moment, the empty search on Wu Di's shoulders began to be restless, and he was still trembling slightly, Wu Di immediately shouted, "What's the matter?"

I saw Xunkong pointing to the big white dog next to the monk, and Wu Di looked at it and understood.

Good fellow, what kind of dog is this, this is a lame white tiger, although it is a little dirty, but it can not hide its majesty, it is grinning at the sky, fierce eyes are staring at this stupid monkey.

Seeing this, the gray-robed monk immediately patted the white tiger's head and shouted: "Amitabha, the visitor is a guest, you hurry to the other side, don't scare the little donor anymore." ”

The white tiger really put away its fierce appearance, flicked its tail and flicked it, pulled its head and swayed to the distance and lay down.

The gray-robed monk clasped his hands together, and Wu Di saw that his right hand only had one finger, and he pronounced a Buddha horn and said: "This benefactor, the little monk is a finger, but the master does not dare to agree." ”

Wu Di smiled, "The master is polite, I have heard that the master's Buddhism is profound for a long time, and I have come to learn scriptures from the master." Hmm, is it convenient to go in and have a stick of incense?"

Yizhi listened, nodded, made a way and said: "The donor, please be, the old monk's homework today has not been completed, and he can't accompany the donor to incense, offended." ”

"Master, you're busy, I'll do it myself. ”

Wu Di made a gesture and walked in generously.

Finally found a temple that did not have to pay incense money, Wu Di said that it was not easy for him, praying and praying, if it was not voluntary, then what was the meaning?

Walking into the temple, there is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined on the desk, and the believers can theoretically worship this big Buddha to pray for all their wishes.

There is a large roll of fine sandalwood next to it, and on the left is a simple mahogany lacquered merit box, Wu Di picked up a sandalwood, and Xunkong also picked up one in his way.

Wu Di scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, don't play around, this is the incense of worshipping the Buddha, if you have a sincere heart, will you worship the Buddha?"

Xunkong glared at him and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't you underestimate the monkey, they all say that I am very similar to the Monkey King when I was a child, isn't it just worshipping the Buddha?"

"Okay, okay,"

Wu Di felt that he couldn't talk to Xunkong in this quiet place, he lit sandalwood, and also helped Xunkong light one, and then he stood and bowed a few times, but his heart was extremely leisurely and quiet, although he did not believe in Buddhism, but he respected monks with Buddha's conduct.

The compassion and compassion of the monks once convinced him, and now that he thinks that he cannot have such a state of mind, then this quality is even more precious to him, and he should cherish it.

After worshipping the Buddha, Xunkong thought that he was a person of Buddhism, probably because of the Buddha's incense, and when he came out, he actually swayed and learned to put his hands together like a master, shaking his head and shouting Amitabha.

Master Yizhi put down his tools and came in at this time, and when he saw Xunkong's appearance, he smiled and said, "This little benefactor is quite Buddha-like. ”

Xunkong hid behind Wu Di a little embarrassed when he heard this, Wu Di smiled and said: "One finger master, I have always had a question that I can't solve, can the master help me solve the puzzle?"

Yizhi shook his head, "The old monk now has a stomach full of doubts to ask the Buddha, how can he be called a master? ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

Wu Di knows that this is the practice and humility of monks, they generally do not admit how profound they are, they like to be low-key and introverted, the more advanced the monks, the more low-key, those who go out every day to show off their Buddhism is not an imposter who does not have three or two Buddhist scriptures in their stomachs.

Wu Di followed the wordless Master of One Finger and walked out, thinking about the question of waiting.

They came to the edge of the cliff outside the temple, and the master of one finger folded his hands and said, "Donor, please speak." ”

"Dare to ask the master, what is a Buddha, what is the real Buddha?" Wu Di has been pondering by himself these days, but the more he pondered, the more he couldn't figure out this question, and his heart became more and more irritable.

Without him, it's just that the monks in the Buddha realm have completely subverted the Buddha in Wu Di's heart, making him feel extremely disgusting and in urgent need of enlightenment.

The master of one finger saw the anxiety in Wu Di's heart, and announced the Buddha's name, "Donor, you are looking at the appearance, all the appearances are false, and it is a matter of personal experience to figure out what a Buddha is." The old monk looks at the donor's extraordinary demeanor and the hall surrounds the Xianxia Danqi, which is definitely not an ordinary person, so the donor is wearing the appearance of a longevity. The Buddha said, 'If you see things that are not the same, that is, you see them as they are', and in the final analysis, the question of the donor depends on the donor's heart, and what do you think is a Buddha, that is a Buddha. ”

Wu Di listened thoughtfully, although he pointed out that the master said that he was in the clouds, but he felt that the doubts in his heart were awakened, and then he realized that he was too obsessed.

Master Yizhi continued: "What is a Buddha? With the power of three bodies, four wisdoms, five eyes, six paths, and ten descending meetings, one can be called a Buddha when one realizes liberation, so all things in heaven and earth can become Buddhas, and a Buddha is nothing more than a great attainment of wisdom, virtue, and compassion. ”

Wu Di nodded, this one-fingered master is really an ascetic monk who has comprehended the profound Buddhism, just a few words let him have a deeper understanding of the Buddha, he gradually realized that all living beings have Buddha nature, everyone can become a Buddha, and if you don't become a Buddha, it's just that your merit is not enough.

"Donor, since you have a relationship with my Buddha, the old monk will tell you another story. ”

The one-finger master suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the only remaining finger shook in front of Wu Di, which looked quite scary, but Wu Di's face was indifferent and unmoved.

"This mountain was originally a tiger head mountain, the mountain has a fierce tiger, fierce and mighty, the poor monk pointed to the prime of life at that time, practicing Hinayana Buddhism, often can pull the Buddha's light to shine into a golden body, thinking that he has become a Buddha. One day passing by this mountain, found a terrifying white tiger to hurt people and eat, the poor monk self-reliance on the Dharma Dacheng wanted to be compassionate to this beast, who knew that the Buddha suddenly abandoned the poor monk, that time the poor monk paid the price of a finger, he also almost lost his life, fortunately there are villagers in time to come to rescue us. Afterwards, they wanted to kill the tiger to vent their anger, but were stopped by the poor monk. ”

"The poor monk Tao is that the Buddhists must have compassion, so they don't let the villagers hurt it, and cheekily ask the villagers for the meat that has been killed to feed it, how do you know that it should not be ferocious, and bite off the three fingers of the poor monk, so the fierce beast that does not know what to do stimulates the killing intent in the heart of the poor monk, so the poor monk took out the Pu knife and cut it to the vital point, the white tiger suddenly broke free from the restraints, roared and limped to the deep mountains. ”

"Finally, the poor monk and the villagers followed the bloodstains to find it, and it was already exhausted, and collapsed at the mouth of its own hole, and there was a little white tiger that had not yet been weaned......"

Speaking of this, Master Yizhi smiled and asked Wu Di, "Donor, the old monk committed the killing precept at that time, do you think the old monk can become a Buddha?"

Wu Di frowned, his eyes were full of confusion, the story of Yizhi made him not know how to answer for a while, from the starting point, everything Yizhi did was understandable, and it was understandable to draw a knife to kill the tiger.

But he kept saying that he was not a Buddha, so could it be that he was also affected by this incident?

Wu Di, who didn't have any clue, could only say: "The master's words are really profound, the kid doesn't dare to make up his mind, and ask the master to solve his doubts." ”

Master Yizhi said with a smile: "The old monk has been seeking to transcend sentient beings and resolve the suffering of sentient beings all his life, but he is the only one who has not been able to transcend himself and take the last step, so the donor actually asked the wrong person." The Buddha is only in the realm of the Buddha, if the old monk becomes a Buddha, then there will be Buddhas everywhere, and the donor does not have to look everywhere for what the real Buddha is. However, the old monk thought that if he could go to the Elysium and see the Buddha, he would be a Buddha. ”

Wu Di was silent, and Xunkong was also confused, he always felt that what this old monk said was going around and around, and he didn't understand it at all.

Wu Di took a few deep breaths and decided to ask the master if he had heard of the name of Monkey King.

"Dare to ask the master if he knows the whereabouts of the Great Sage? Oh, he was named the Buddha Realm Fighting Buddha, he must be very famous, we are actually here to find the Great Sage. Is he a true Buddha in the Buddha realm?"

Wu Di directly raised the title of senior brother, he thought that since he was practicing Buddhism, he naturally knew the senior brother.

Who knew that after hearing this, the face of the master changed greatly, and he said again and again: "Sins and sins, how can the donor talk about the holy Buddha in the land of my Buddha? It is really rude, rude, it seems that the old monk has to recite the scriptures a hundred times more today to overcome the responsibility ......for the donor."

Then, the master of one finger said something in his mouth, no matter what Wu Di asked, he shook his head and did not answer, which made Wu Di bored himself.

In the end, Wu Di could only go down the mountain in a trance, and he didn't ask anything for a long time, to be honest, he was completely disappointed in this Buddha realm deep in his heart.

"It seems that this moth Buddha, what bullshit monk really clashed with me, don't listen to Wang Ba's chanting, no matter, if that group of bald donkeys repeatedly offend me, don't blame me for teaching and educating the Buddha and these blind ones. ”

"But Senior Brother should be in the Elysium they mentioned, so let's go there first. ”r
