"Asking for advice" is the most common thing Zen practitioners do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among practitioners of the same realm, it is called "Zen" or "Lundao", and when a disciple of a lower realm asks a question to a practitioner of a higher realm, it is called "asking for advice".

Every year, there are many people who go to Wozhou Mountain to ask Master Daolin to solve their doubts, of course, not everyone can come up, there must always be a standard, and the standard for treating ordinary people and treating cultivators is of course even different.

In particular, Lu Jiujia is a disciple of Qiguang Academy, but he traveled thousands of miles to Wozhou Mountain to ask for advice, which has a bit of other meanings.

In any case, Zen Master Daolin should convince Lu Jiujia in order to reflect the demeanor of a master, of course, this idea is just swirling in the minds of the group of senior brothers in Sanzang, and of course they are extremely confident that their master will not be embarrassed by this young man's questioning.

After all, he was one of the most famous great cultivators in the mainland!

Lu Jiujia smiled, this young man's face was unruly, he didn't come to Wozhou Mountain in advance, but just by the way, when he arrived at Wozhou Mountain, he remembered this Zen master who was on a par with his master, so he naturally had the idea of coming up to see how much he was capable of.

As for what to ask, he had already planned in his heart, after all, the other party was a master, so it was naturally impossible for him to ask some ultimate questions involving the Great Dao, and that kind of question was by no means something that could be dictated.

It's just that he was about to open his mouth when he saw a few young people walking behind him, he frowned, looked at Yuan Lai and a few people and said dissatisfiedly: "I asked the master for advice, what are you standing here?"

Yuan Lai was a little surprised, Lu Jiujia's accusation was quite unreasonable.

However, yesterday they obviously made Lu Jiujia lose face, and they crossed them to the mountain early, which made Lu Jiujia very annoyed, especially when the scene that was filmed by the fat monk just now was seen by these people, which made him even more unhappy.

At this moment, it is even more unpleasant to see them.

The two disciples of Qiguang Temple standing at the gate of Xianyun Zhai also said: "This is a matter between Zen practitioners, how many of you ...... I don't think I'm a Zen person!"

Yuan Lai was about to speak, but he didn't want to be angry, and said, "This is not your family, what's wrong with us standing here?!"

Lu Jiujia glanced at Yo You coldly, and the little girl was so frightened that she grabbed Yuan Lai's clothes.

"Well, of course there is no reason for the guests to go out. Zen Master Daolin said lightly.

Lu Jiujia actually snorted coldly and said, "I just think that some people who don't practice Zen can't understand Zen even if they stand here, it's just an eyesore." ”

"You ......" Yo You was so angry that he was about to speak but was suddenly pulled by Sanzang, at this time Sanzang's face was not very good, he was in a good mood, but he didn't want this golden-eyed young man to spill his anger on Yuan Lai and them, so he also said coldly: "This is Wozhou Mountain, not Qiguang Courtyard!"

Sanzang is a relatively wooden, slightly shy little monk, rarely blushing and angry with people, and it is even rarer to talk to people with an unfriendly attitude, but at this moment, he has a cold face towards Lu Jiujia, which is enough to explain the anger in his heart.

On the one hand, it was because the friends around him were targeted, and on the other hand, Lu Jiujia's attitude was clearly not to put Wo Zhoushan in his eyes, or even to put his master in his eyes, Sanzang, as a nominal senior brother, of course could not have any good impression of this kind of person!

As soon as Sanzang's words came out, Lu Jiujia's eyes narrowed slightly, smiled, and turned to Dao Lin and said, "Master, then I have to ask." ”

Obviously, although he was arrogant, he was not stupid, and wisely changed the subject under the faint threat of Sanzang.

Dowling has always looked faint, not showing joy or anger, just watching from the sidelines, and nodded after listening to him at this moment.

The question of the Zen practitioner is very interesting, pay attention to Zen machine, Lu Jiujia waved his hand, one of the two junior disciples standing at the door ran out, and a moment later, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked into Xianyun Zhai with a fresh big goldfish in his hand.

Lu Jiujia took it with one hand, and indifferently lifted the struggling fish in his hand, and then he smiled, while Sanzang and Wude's eyes were first shocked, and then deeper anger!

The Daqi Zen religion is not strict, and unlike the Buddhism that Yuan Lai knows, the practitioners of the Daqi Zen Buddhism are more free and easy, and they do not have strict precepts on wine and even sex, just like Daolin also has a wife, but the general Zen Buddhism advocates non-aggression and compassion. Although he does not abstain from killing, he admires nature, respects living beings very much, and eats vegetarian and meat-free meals.

Qiguang Temple is also mostly like this, but right here, Lu Jiujia actually held a live fish in his hand in public, which was obviously against the way of Zen Buddhism's cultivation!

Lu Jiujia had no scruples, he smiled, and said loudly to Dao Lin: "Master, what I want to ask is, do you say this fish is alive or dead?"

After saying that, he smiled openly, and that smile implied arrogance!

Xianyun Zhai suddenly fell into silence, this silence was so sudden, so that Youyou was caught off guard, she looked at the old monk sitting on the main seat in wonder, and then looked at Sanzang and the others, and finally turned her eyes to Yuan Lai, surprised to find that everyone was frowning, she whispered to Yuan in confusion: "Why don't you speak, isn't it very simple, of course you are alive." ”

As long as it is a person, with eyes, you can see that the fish is clearly alive, obviously just out of the water, still very energetic, and constantly struggling. If it is good, it should be that Lu Jiujia and the others just caught it in the morning, and they hid it in a secret place outside just now, and it is still very fresh to take it out at the moment.

Yuan Lai shook his head, sighed, and explained in a low voice: "It's not as simple as you think. ”

Yo You looked at Xie Caiwei again in confusion, Cai Wei also sighed, nodded and said: "Indeed, it's not that simple, of course the fish is alive now, but Lu Jiujia can put it to death with force in his hands at any time, which means that it can become a dead fish at any time." ”

"So......" Yuan Lai shook his head and said, "If Zen Master Daolin answers that he is alive, then Lu Jiujia will definitely pinch the fish to death in an instant." But if the answer is dead...... At this time, it is clearly alive, that is, it is a slang, and the monks do not stalk!"

Xie Caiwei said: "So the meaning of his question is actually to torture the Zen master's heart, between the life of this fish and the practitioner's principle, which of the two is more important! If he says it more deeply, he is actually asking how to choose in the heart of a Zen practitioner when faced with the dilemma of life and original belief!"

Yuan looked at Sanzang, who was unbearable next to him, sighed in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect him to really have a good topic, but he is really ruthless enough, without a little Zen compassion, but he is really rebellious enough." ”

Lu Jiujia smiled, at this moment, the fish was not so fierce, but the struggle in the hearts of many people here became more and more intense.

Dowling looked at him, and then at the fish, his face unhappy or sad, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sanzang suddenly spoke: "Master......"

Dao Lin looked at it, and saw that the disciples closest to him, who were very young and very young, could not hide their compassion, and there was clearly a trace of pleading in their eyes.

Dao Lin sighed, looked at Sanzang with a very complicated gaze, and then shifted his gaze to Lu Jiujia again, no one knew what Dao Lin was thinking.

Only Yuan Lai turned his head to look at Sanzang thoughtfully.

Just when Dao Lin finally seemed to be about to speak, suddenly Yuan Lai took a step forward and said lightly: "This question is very simple, don't say that Zen Master Lin, even I can solve it." ”

This time to everyone's surprise, Lu Jiujia turned around and stared at him coldly, and sneered: "You?!"

"Earlier you said we don't understand Zen, but now I don't think you're a big deal, so how about I answer it?"

Lu Jiujia snorted and said, "Feel free." ”

Yuan Lai smiled faintly when he heard this, walked to his side, and then looked at the fish carefully, without speaking.

However, everyone was very puzzled about how she was going to solve it, there were two layers of difficulty in this question, the deeper one was to ask what is the importance of meditation life and principles, this question was too difficult to answer, but if Yuan Lai answered, he didn't need to consider this meaning, because he was not a meditation! The people of the Great Enlightenment Cultivator pay attention to changing their lives against the heavens or conforming to the way of heaven, no matter which kind of living beings are not as cautious as meditation, some Taoist scriptures even have the practice of cutting off their own lives, and there is a saying that they have to forget their feelings to the Taishang, and the cultivation of the Tao is also more important to the origin, believing that all living beings in heaven and earth are the origin of the illusion, and the view of life and death is very different from that of Zen Buddhism. Therefore, the natural concept of the Great Enlightenment cultivators is inclined to sacrifice their lives to preach the Tao, and there is even a saying that they can die at the end of the day.

If Yuan answers, there is no need to scruple about this deep meaning.

Then what is in front of him is the surface problem, that is, whether he answers whether the fish is alive or dead, the result is in the hands of Lu Jiujia, no matter how he answers, as long as the answer is one of the two, there seems to be no possibility of answering correctly at all!

A dilemma of life and death!

Lu Jiujia was very confident, so he calmly asked Yuan to observe, Yuan came to observe very carefully, so he was very slow, and after he finished observing, he began to stand in front of Lu Jiujia in a daze.

Or it's called contemplation.

"Are you still answering?!" Lu Jiujia asked with a frown.

Yuan Lai glanced at him dissatisfied, and said, "I heard that two hundred years ago, there were two great Zen masters who discussed Zen in Qianshan, and each question was pondered for a long time, and the shortest time for this 'good time' was three days! Of course, I am far inferior to those two Zen masters, but at least I have to think about it for a while, right?"

Lu Jiujia gritted his teeth, glared at him and said, "Okay! I'll let you think! I'll see what answer you can come up with!"

A stick of incense passed quickly.

Suddenly, Yuan Lai, who looked pensive, raised his head and said lightly: "I have the answer." ”

"What?"

"This fish is dead. Yuan Lai pointed to the fish that had been quiet and said seriously.

Lu Jiujia was stunned, looked down, and then his face suddenly froze!

Of course, the fish can't live long without the water, and now the fish's eyes happen to be gray. (To be continued.) )
