The confusion of being regarded as a guest by Huangguang Temple invites a first-class wing room in the temple, the room is furnished with simple furnishings, the incense burner burns sandalwood, the aroma is clear and the eyes are not strong, these kinds of fruit snacks are placed on the table, there is a couplet in the room, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful: outdoor people, the law is not fixed, and then the law is not lawful;

As soon as I entered the door, I was deeply fascinated by this couplet, and I felt that the mystery was endless, and I kept chewing on the meaning. I couldn't help but chant out the Bodhi verse of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master. Xiao Zhou Yu was very scared at first, seeing that there was no one in the room, and seeing that there was a portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging in the room. I also got bold, picked up the snacks on the table and put them in my mouth.

"Amitabha, Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. The donor is perceptive. An old monk pushed the door in, and saw that the old monk was wearing a satin robe with Yunjin Zhenjin Eight auspicious Baolian pattern, and under his feet were gray-faced and white-soled monk shoes. There is a string of one hundred and eight phoenix-eyed Bodhi Buddha beads hanging on his chest. Holding twenty-one unicorn-eyed Bodhi prayer beads in his hand. A kind countenance. It is the enlightened monk Huineng of Huangguang Temple.

Confused, he looked back and said, "Master, the juniors are polite." ”

Zhou Yu also hurriedly put down the snacks in his hand, and said vaguely while eating: "Zhou Yu is polite." ”

Master Huitong clasped his hands together and saluted: "The two donors have been polite. The poor monk Hui Neng is a person from outside the party, and he has benefited a lot from listening to the benefactor chanting the Bodhi verse of the six ancestors outside the door just now. Hui Neng sat down with the confusion.

"Master Huineng is a monk with great wisdom, and I am just an axe. In a daze, he pulled Zhou Yu to sit down. Zhou Yu pouted and sat beside him unwillingly.

"The little donor doesn't have to be reluctant, he can do whatever he wants. "Huineng knows that children can't sit still.

"The master smiled, Yu'er, you go outside to play first. I'll call you when I get home. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu happily jumped out of the wing.

"I have a reluctant request to visit your temple today, and I hope the master will agree. Confused, he said.

Master Huineng said: "I don't know what the benefactor wants?"

"Yes, I just recently moved into a new house. I heard that the child said that it was haunted in the middle of the night, and I wanted to ask the monks of your temple to deign to drive to my house to do a ritual to cross the ghosts and surpass the souls. Afterwards, incense money was naturally offered. Confused.

"Donors have mercy. The world is disgusted with ghosts, and they want to get rid of them as soon as possible. The practice of my generation is to get the world out of the sea of suffering. If the donor does not dislike the old monk's old age and decay and the old eyes are dizzy, he is willing to do this for the donor. Huineng monk Mao then recommended himself.

This time I was frightened by the confusion, and I wanted to invite a monk to go back and do a hasty ritual, but I didn't expect to be able to alarm the old monk in the imperial temple. It seems that this Shen Wan is also deeply blessed, and he is still the leading monk in the capital. Confused, he said, "How can I alarm your driver." I'm ashamed. ”

Monk Huineng said: "Amitabha, it is fate for the donor and me to meet at the mountain gate, and it is also the cause and effect of you and me to participate in Zen enlightenment in the meditation room today." I think it's still early, why don't you take advantage of this stump to visit our temple. Poor monks can also untie the knot for the benefactor. ”

Confused, he got up and arched his hand, "Thank you, master." ”

Shuttling between temples, seeing thousands of people and faces in the believers, all the way through the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the Luohan Hall. Reading the Buddhist scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the monk Huineng gave a copy of the "Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" to the confusion before leaving the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. As a greeting gift. Along the way, the two of them talked, and every time there were witty words, the two attendants next to them benefited a lot. It is a very fateful thing to be able to listen to Hui and explain the Dharma with your own ears, and it is especially valuable to be able to debate with others. The high depths are free and witty to solve doubts, and the plain places have more flavorful answers.

Unconsciously, the two came to the tower of Huangguang Temple, and the tired Hui Neng sat under a tower at will, confused but did not dare to make a time, this is the place where the monks of Huangguang Temple are buried, and ordinary people are not allowed to step into half a step. It is one of the forbidden places of Huangguang Temple.

"Along the way, I have been relieved by the master, but the knot in my heart is still unsolved. I also hope that the master will give advice. Confused.

Monk Huineng picked up a white chrysanthemum and said to himself: "Idiot looks at idiot." The body is not the other. Where does the heart knot come from? ”

Confused, I was very puzzled to see Hui Neng smile.

Huineng continued: "The Five Lantern Huiyuan records that the world-honored person held flowers at the Lingshan Meeting. When everyone was silent, Venerable Gyala smiled openly. The World-Honored One said, 'I have the Dharma Eye, Nirvana, the reality has no appearance, the subtle Dharma, I don't write it, I don't teach it outside the teachings, and I give instructions to the Mahakasya,' and now the donor is distraught. The former sends you the Heart Sutra to ask you to be in a normal state of mind and not to be ignorant. This place of eternal resting of my ancestors in Tallinn will not be able to soothe your heart?"

Confused and ashamed, he said: "The heart is at peace, and there is nothing to be quiet." What did I do when I first came into this world, why did I come to this world? ”

Master Huineng closed his eyes and pondered, then took out a wooden stick, hit it the confused body, and said as he hit: "Evil obstacles, the Buddha smiled with flowers, and the Mahakaya smiled with his heart." And now I scourge thee. It's like a stick of wood in my hand. ”

Confused, every time he was beaten, he knelt down to Tallinn. Repeating this twenty times, I was stunned. Master Huineng laughed heartily and said, "The children can be taught, the children can be taught." ”

The confused and irritable mood was calmed, and many troubles were left behind, and Huineng saw him talking elegantly when he was confused for the first time, but he was impetuous. Huigen is undecided, such as seeing that he wandered in Huangguang Temple for half a day to contaminate him with Buddha gas, and used life and death to test the school in confusion. Huineng's smile makes the confusion understand, the state of mind is pure and unstained, indifferent and open-minded, no desire and no greed, no restraint, calm and self-satisfied, no traces, transcendent from everything, and unshakable in order to survive forever. Seeing that he had settled down, he walked back alone by the setting sun in the west. Leave one alone to participate in meditation.

Xiao Zhouyu was very worried that she was confused, whether her brother was hungry, and a day had passed, and she was still immersed in the mysterious world of enlightenment. This is a good thing, if you can comprehend the power of Buddhism, you can become a Buddha and get out of the sea of suffering. At this time, the confused mind was in chaos, and countless voices kept telling in the mind, the ancient sages were proving themselves with their own actions, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned and created the number of gossip performed the day after tomorrow, and the number of the "Zhou Yi" was handed down, the Confucian sage traveled around the world to cultivate the Spring and Autumn Period, and the three thousand disciples under his disciple were seventy-two, and the "Analects" was passed down through the ages; Sima Qian endured humiliation and finally completed the historical masterpiece "Historical Records"; or success, or failure, or joy, or tragedy. The precipitation that flows through the years has been sung among later generations. Passed down through the ages, there will be deeds that will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Enlightenment has always been a very difficult thing, and it depends on whether the body and mind are upright, and whether there is wisdom. Confusion is at the forefront of human development, and some things will be a broad road as long as they break through that layer of barrier and appear in front of their eyes. And what I don't know is that the tower of Huangguang Temple is also enlightened. The monks of the past generations in the forest are the embodiment of wisdom.

On the third day, I woke up from the Tao in a daze, my beard had grown wildly, my body was exhausted, and my mind was clear. Monk Huineng and Zhou Yu had been waiting on the side for a long time, and when they woke up in a daze, they said a Buddha name.

Confused immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you Master for preaching to me." ”

Zhou Yu ran over and hugged him in a daze and said, "Brother, I'm scared to death, you haven't eaten or drunk for three days." ”

Confused: "I'm not fine." Unafraid. ”

"Amitabha, congratulations to the donor for enlightening Zen and being able to walk unhindered in the future. Huineng said: "In the future, if you have leisure and are confused, the donor will come to our temple to discuss Buddhism with the poor Tao." Hui Neng picked up the confusion and patted the dust off his body for him.

Confused and frightened, he said: "How dare you play against the mage, ashamed, ashamed." ”

"Don't be a benefactor, so why should you be humble. The donor is in Baoshan, how can a poor monk enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?"

Confused, he smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”

"Let's go, you've been hungry for three days, it's time to eat something to fill your stomach. Zhou Yu couldn't help but say and walked out of Tallinn in a daze. Huineng also happily followed out.

Three days after enlightenment, Huineng knocked on the confused door alone, and it was Zhou Yu who opened the door. Zhou Yu poked out half of his head and said, "Which old monk are you?"

Huineng said: "The little benefactor can still remember the poor monk, which is really a blessing for the poor monk." Zhou Yu opened the door and let the monk in.

Today, Huineng is dressed very plainly, and there are a few patches on an old monk's robe. Even though he is plain, he is also energetic, and he can be recognized at a glance in the crowd. A Buddhist compassion cannot be concealed.

After returning home in a daze, he made out a study room, read books for his leisure on weekdays, and gave it a very chic name, Xiaoxuan. Hearing that it was Huineng's voice, he hurriedly walked out of the room and greeted him: "I don't know if the master came to the cold house, and he couldn't meet Wanwang for forgiveness." ”

Hui Neng said: "The confused donor is too polite, the poor monk is a person outside the party and does not need to be polite, I have only looked at the appearance for a long time to see that although this room is ordinary but the feng shui is excellent, there are such smart people as the confused donor to the heaven and earth Haoran righteousness town house, crooked demons and evil ways do not dare to enter the mansion." Last time, the benefactor said that there were ghosts in the house, and the poor monk did not dare to assert it. Today, I will recite the sutra for you, and the treasure of one day is peaceful. ”

Said in a daze: "Thank you for the master's success, I don't know what the master needs, I'll go and come back." ”

Huineng said: "I don't need anything else, I have my own." ”

The old monk came to the courtyard, took out a wooden fish, sat cross-legged, and chanted words in his mouth. The sound is not loud, the sound of Buddha surrounds the ears, the sound is not small, and the words are clear. Confused instructed Zhou Yu to clean the pots and bowls at home, go to the grocery store to buy some vegetable oil, and wait for noon to cook a hearty meal for the master himself. After instructing the matter, he also sat down and followed the old monk to recite the scriptures silently.

The sound of the Buddha in the courtyard gradually rises, the rui qi emanates from the two people, the sound of the Buddha gradually becomes louder and louder, like the Huanglu bell, but all the people who hear the voice of the Buddha are refreshed, giving people a kind of reborn pleasure.

First, a "Mantra of Death" transcended the dead, and then recited the "Diamond Sutra" and "Guanyin Sutra" until noon before resting, and the confusion took advantage of this time to prepare a meal for Huineng.

In the kitchen, Zhou Yu was confused, and the two were talking. "Brother, I think that old monk is a liar, that is, a monk in a small place in Maple Leaf Town to recite scriptures and practice things, and he also wants to open the altar to cast spells, and the scene is very great. Where there is a monk like this, there is no one who does not use the altar and does not invite the Bodhisattva. Don't drop the truth. Just a wooden fish knocked on it for a morning. I'm tired of hearing it. Confused was preparing to fry a fungus chili, and said while putting the ingredients: "Then you are still happy to listen to it for a morning?"

Zhou Yu blushed and said, "If it weren't for my brother also chanting on the side, I wouldn't want to listen to it." ”

"Is that so? Do you think what I want to say is better than what Master Huineng wants to say? No, people are high-ranking monks, don't look at those extravagant and extravagant rituals, the altar is open for three or four days, and it is not effective for his old man to knock on the wooden fish. Buddhism is pure and pays attention to sincerity and spirituality, and Master Huineng can be called a generation of holy monks, and his Buddhist cultivation is extremely high. If it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't know when I would have been confused. Give me the ginger shreds, hurry up, the old mage is hungry. ”
