Since he is not prepared to let other people understand, Wang Xuan is not prepared to say it simply. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Nan saw that Wang Xuanlao had not spoken for a long time, and he had been holding back a question, so he simply raised it and asked, "I don't know which master these words came from?"

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then relieved.

He is only thirteen years old now, where does it seem that a person who can realize this kind of truth, if he has always been firm that it is his own opinion, it is not beautiful, so he simply said: "It is a high monk who has met once." ”

When Chen Nan heard this, he suddenly felt that this was indeed the case, and he secretly thought in his heart that Wang Xuan had a great fate, and he must be closer and closer in the future.

However, once Wang Xuan opened the conversation, he was not prepared to end it easily.

"That eminent monk once told me a story about his master, I wonder if the teacher is interested?"

Everyone just thought that Wang Xuan didn't know how to explain, so he deliberately changed the topic, and for a while everyone had different opinions and made a mess, but when Chen Nan heard this, he immediately became interested and put aside the explanation of the threefold realm of life.

"Say?"

Wang Xuan simply sat on the table in front of him, but he felt that it was not enough for the teacher to stand all the time, and there was a table in the middle, so he dragged Chen Nan to sit on the chair, and he was condescending and immediately became the focus of everyone.

Jing'er looked at Wang Xuan at this time, and suddenly felt that he had an indescribable beauty when he became serious, and he had forgotten everything around him.

"In ancient times, the inheritance of a temple was passed on to the fifth ancestor, who was lecturing at the opening altar at that time, and had more than 500 disciples under his command, among which the best one was the eldest disciple Master Shenxiu. Shenxiu is also recognized as the heir to the mantle. ”

"The fifth patriarch was getting old, so he wanted to find an heir among his disciples, so he said to his disciples, everyone should make a poem (a poem with Zen meaning), and whoever did a good job would pass on the mantle to whomever he could. At this time, Shenxiu wanted to inherit the mantle, but he was afraid that because he wanted to inherit the mantle, he would go against the artistic conception of Buddhism's inaction. ”

So he got up in the middle of the night and wrote a poem on the courtyard wall: The body is the Bodhi tree, and the heart is the mirror platform. Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. ”

When Wang Xuan saw the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, he immediately explained: "The meaning of this song is to take care of your heart and state of mind at all times, and resist external temptations and all kinds of evil demons through continuous practice. It is a state of mind that emphasizes the role of spiritual practice. And this understanding is not quite consistent with the epiphany of the sect, so when everyone saw this Jizi the next morning, they all said yes, and they all guessed that it was made by Shenxiu and admired it very much, and the fifth ancestor did not make any evaluation after seeing it. Because he knew that Shenxiu had not yet had an epiphany. ”

At this time, when the monks in the temple were talking about this song, they were heard by a fire-headed monk in the kitchen, Zen Master Huineng. Huineng asked someone to take him to see this Jizi at that time, and it should be noted here that Huineng was illiterate and he was illiterate. He heard others talk about this Jizi, and at that time he said that this person had not yet comprehended the true meaning. So he made another gizi himself, begging others to write next to Shenxiu's gizi, Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. ”

"He's a kid who fits the Zen idea of epiphany, and it's an attitude of birth. ”

Wang Xuan continued: "The main meaning is that the world is originally empty, and everything in the world is an empty word, and if the heart is originally empty, there is no need to resist the temptation from the outside, and everything passes through the heart without leaving a trace. This is a very high state of Zen Buddhism, and those who have experienced this level of realm are called enlightened. ”

After the fifth ancestor saw this Jizi, he asked the people around him who wrote it, and the people next to him said that it was written by Huineng, so he called Huineng and said in front of him and other monks: The writing is messy and nonsense, and he personally wiped off this Jizi. Then he hit Huineng on the head three times and left. ”

Wang Xuan suddenly stopped at this point, looked at Chen Nan, who was listening with relish, and asked, "Do you know why?"

Before Chen Nan could answer, someone preemptively said: "Because this person answered wrong, it made the Fifth Ancestor unhappy." ”

"You are not right, because he is illiterate, but he wants to moan without illness, so that the Fifth Ancestor despises him from the heart. ”

For a while, there were different opinions, but all of them said that Hui Neng was stupid.

Wang Xuan saw Teacher Chen Nan's eyes with a puzzled look, and knew that the teacher was anxious, but he couldn't say why, so he didn't fish for his appetite.

At this time, only Hui Neng understood the meaning of the fifth ancestor, so he went to the fifth ancestor's meditation room during the third watch in the evening, where he accepted the mantle of the fifth ancestor. ”

"It turns out that three times is the meaning of three watches!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Wang Xuan smiled lightly, if they knew how the Bodhi Ancestor taught Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, it would not be difficult to guess.

After listening to this story, Chen Nan let out a long sigh of relief, and seemed to spit out the depression in his heart, and the whole person was also a lot more enlightened.

Wang Xuan's eyes lit up, he knew that Chen Nan had fallen into a state of weakness just now because of overthinking, if he forcibly instilled knowledge, it would only have the opposite effect, and when he saw Chen Nan's state at this moment, he immediately continued.

In fact, the triple realm of life can also be summed up in one sentence. ”

Chen Nan looked at him like an honest and teachable student.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, and two begets three. ”

Wang Xuan continued to analyze: "Tao gives birth to one, that is to say, the law of the world of "Tao" produces a one-dimensional "Wuji". Life two, Wuji this thing is colorless, there is no end, you can't figure it out, Wuji has produced Taiji, Taiji is the most basic dualism, one black and one white, the unity of opposites. Two begets three, three begets all things, and three becomes the origin of the world. ”

What exactly is "three?" asked Chen Nan.

"Three is like a positive and antithetical thing, and you add a harmonic factor to it, so there are three states, or stages. ”

Without waiting for him to ask questions, Wang Xuan continued, since he wanted to say something profound, he had to go all the way to this road of no return.

"To put it simply, when you experience the world for the first time, matter is matter, you are you, and heaven and earth are unkind. You live in the arrangement of heaven and earth, driven by instinct, walking step by step.

In the middle stage, you begin to think about what all this is caused by, and all the matter changes because of what, you wander in the ocean of thinking, you have long forgotten the mountain in front of you, but very careful thinking, we hope to find a thing that can serve you, or pick stones from the mountain, or drink the water of the mountain stream, as if everything has a commonality, this commonality is like an ultimate, it is something you need to explore.

In the final stage, you will find that after opening the door to one new world after another, you will find that there is darkness ahead, and everything we once hoped to change will turn our heads and erode ourselves, and the ultimate existence of this world is in the mountains, and our first spirit. What we once thought of as appearances is often the most essential truth, the spirit that we think of as endless, is itself within us.

And turning his head away, it is a new reincarnation.

Turn your head and you will find that the essence is still the same, a mountain is a mountain, no matter how you look at it. You are you, with or without mountains. ”

As soon as the words fell, as Wang Xuan expected, the audience was as silent as death. (To be continued.) )
