Chapter 127: The Heart Speaks of Vajra
Master Xinben went on to say, "There is a cause before there is an effect. It is in the sky, and whether the things in this world can succeed or not depends on the will of God. ”
He smiled kindly, pointed to the sky with his withered fingers, and said, "The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas value the reason why you do this more than the fruit. Since you sincerely worship the Buddha and are willing to go north to Jizhou Wuliang Temple to get the little golden Buddha, it is enough to show your sincerity. They all see that as long as you recite the sutra again, you can make a vow. ”
"Amitabha." Master Xinben clasped his hands together and said, "But you still need to meditate on the chanting, and you can come by yourself when the time comes." If you are present, it will inevitably distract you, and your heart will be insincere, and you will be suspected of not respecting God and Buddha. ”
"As it should be." Wei Chansheng nodded in agreement.
For some reason, Wang Su always felt that Xinben's words meant something, as if the others here were referring to someone else, but he Wang Su.
I guess it's an illusion......
This master of the heart is also so mysterious and plausible when he speaks.
It seems that these monks and Taoists just like to talk like this, and it makes sense whatever they say.
This is also why Wang Su doesn't like to deal with people from Buddhism and Taoism, and he is always chattering and doesn't know what to do.
The heart in front of him was like this, and the little Taoist priest of Qingyuan who met in Xiluo City before was also like this.
By the way, last time the little Taoist priest of Qingyuan also said that there was an opportunity waiting for me in Tianjing, hehe, I don't know what kind of chance it is.
Wang Su shook his head and thought a little self-deprecatingly.
Wang Su couldn't interject on the side, and after Wei Chansheng and Xinben discussed the relevant matters of chanting three days later, Wei Chansheng said worriedly: "Master Xinben, enlighten him ......."
Master Xinben knew what Wei Chansheng wanted to say, sighed, his face was rarely smiling, and he was a little more sad, and said: "Lao Wei is already a person who has half of his body in the ground, and he also feels that his limit is approaching these days. The few people who still stayed in the temple couldn't listen to me. I'm afraid that when I sit down, this Qingni Temple will be scattered. I'm afraid that by then, this child will be homeless......"
Wei Chansheng hesitated, Wang Su also saw it, and just wanted to stop him, but he had already spoken, and said, "Or, master, I'll take the little master Wuyuan back." I was so cordial with him that my family would not object to it. ”
Master Xinben chanted the Buddha's name, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Lord Wei Shi is very good. But Wuyuan has become a monk and is no longer a person in the red dust, how can he live in Lord Weishi's house? ”
Wei Chansheng said: "If you can't do it, let Wuyuan return to vulgarity, right?" ”
Master Xinben still smiled and said, "Now that you have escaped into the empty door, how can there be any reason to return to the vulgar." Wu Yuan was born with a Buddha heart, and I have a fate with Buddhism, so I must not return to the world. Furthermore, you can ask Wu Yuan if he is willing to return to the world. ”
Seeing that Master Xinben said resolutely, Wei Chansheng was speechless to refute, sighed and didn't say anything more.
"If there is nothing else, Lord Wei and Lord Wang will please go back."
This is an eviction order, the two of them are not staying, and after bidding farewell to Master Xinben, they left the main hall.
When he crossed the threshold of the main hall, Wang Su suddenly looked back at the master of the heart who had sat down again and recited the scriptures.
Except for the sound of beating the wooden fish one by one, the back of the master of the heart did not move at all, if it weren't for the weak breathing of Ruowu, Wang Su would have thought that this old monk had already sat down and gone to the Western Elysium mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.
All of a sudden, the slightly dull sound of wooden fish echoed in the empty hall, and the gold leaf that had fallen off the Buddha statues left a gap, which looked a little weird.
When I came out to the courtyard, the courtyard of Qingni Temple, which was originally full of fallen leaves, was now clean, and there were no fallen leaves at all.
Wuyuan put the broom aside and sat under the tree by himself, holding a scripture book and reading.
Wei Chansheng looked at this scene, took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, walked over, and asked, "Little Master Wuyuan, what are you looking at?" ”
Wu Yuan looked up and saw that it was Wei Chansheng, so he said in his immature voice: "I'm reading the Diamond Sutra." ”
After saying that, he shook the scripture book in his hand in front of Wei Chansheng, revealing the three big characters "Diamond Sutra" on the book cover.
Wei Chansheng just sat down beside Wuyuan and said, "Can you recognize the words?" ”
Wei Chansheng accosted him, and Wu Yuan closed the "Diamond Sutra", without dual-mindedness, and said: "I recognize, the master taught me to read and write." ”
The master in Wuyuan's mouth is the master of the heart.
Wei Chansheng asked again: "What have you learned from reading this Buddhist scripture?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Yuan showed a puzzled expression on his face and said, "What have you learned?" But the master said that reading the "Diamond Sutra" is reading the "Diamond Sutra", and he didn't say what to learn? ”
Wu Yuan's words confused Wei Chansheng, he explained: "If you read a book, you must have the harvest of reading a book." After reading a book, you will naturally gain new knowledge or new insights......"
Wu Yuan looked innocent and said: "But last month, Senior Brother Wuzhi was still vulgar, and he told the master that he had read the "Diamond Sutra" for ten years, and originally wanted to seek happiness from the "Diamond Sutra", but ten years later, he still didn't get it, he didn't get anything, he didn't read it, and he left in a rage. ”
"Later, Master told me that Senior Brother Wuzhi has no Buddha nature, and the Diamond Sutra of the past ten years has been read in vain. Master also told me that what the Diamond Sutra wants is to ask for nothing. The "Diamond Sutra" teaches people to become enlightened, and what they teach is that they have nothing to gain, and Senior Brother Wuzhi sought it there, and in the end, he naturally gained nothing. ”
"Master told me not to learn to learn to govern Senior Brother, read the "Diamond Sutra" and read the "Diamond Sutra", and don't think about what I don't have."
Speaking of this, Wu Yuan touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "These are all things that Master told me, and I don't know what it means, so I just did it." ”
Wei Chansheng listened to this, was silent, and did not speak again.
When he was in Wuliang Temple in order to obtain the Little Golden Buddha, he also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and after listening to these words, he had some thoughts.
I guess there is a little bit of Buddha nature.
It should have no place to live and its heart should be born.
Without any attachment, we can witness our nature and ourselves.
Wei Chansheng remembered a story he had heard from the abbot of Wuliang Temple when he was staying overnight in Wuliang Temple.
There was once a layman who had been begging how to be enlightened, how to get it, from a young man to a dying old man, he had never gained anything. Until he was diagnosed and cured by Lang Zhong and was terminally ill, time was running out, he let go of what he wanted, went with nature, and suddenly found that he was self-sufficient and naturally got it.
The abbot of the Wuliang Temple once said: "Letting go is not giving up, it is difficult to let go." Everyone is an unenlightened Buddha, and a Buddha is an enlightened person. It should have no place to live and its heart should be born. ”
Wang Su listened silently on the side, without commenting.
He is not a believer in Buddhism.
In his opinion, what Master Xinben said seemed to be very reasonable at first glance, and after listening to it, he felt empowered.
However, many things are much easier said than done.
Asking for nothing, asking for nothing, asking for nothing, is it considered nothing?
If all the people in the world have nothing to ask for, wouldn't the world be peaceful?
But is the world peaceful?
Wang Su sneered, the truth in the Buddhist scriptures, if you were born in a rich family, when you are at peace and leisure, you may be able to listen to it, and the right is regarded as self-cultivation.
But the current way of the world is like this, only relying on the persuasion of people to be good in the Buddhist scriptures, all relying on the word "empty" on every page of the entire book of the "Diamond Sutra", how can it be peaceful?
Wei Chansheng was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Little Master Wuyuan, if, I mean if...... If one day your master is gone, would you like to return to the world and live with me? ”
"Master is gone?" Wu Yuan asked curiously, "Why is Master not here?" ”
Wei Chansheng said: "Your master will leave Qingni Temple and Tianjing in the future, and I can't take you with me." ”
"Oh." Wuyuan thought for a while and said, "I'm still not vulgar." ”、
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Senior brothers and uncles all say that I am stupid, and they all say that I have something wrong with my brain. I couldn't do anything but read the Bible. It's better for me to chant sutras in the monastery. ”
Seeing that Wuyuan was really as Master Xinben said, Wei Chansheng had to sigh deeply, touched Wuyuan's little head, and said, "Hmm." ”
"I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you in three days, and I'll bring you candy."
Wu Yuan showed a sincere smile, but it didn't look like the elation of ordinary children, but it was very similar to the faint smile of Master Xinben.
Like, godlike.
Is it really a family that doesn't enter the door, Wang Su thought in his heart, if the second dog is this fate, I am afraid that at this moment, I will jump up and hug Wei Chansheng and kiss it, and tell the other party to bring more sugar when he comes next time, so that he will be full.
Wuyuan said, "Thank you, Lord Wes. ”
Out of the gate of Qingnie Temple, the two of them stopped at the door for a while, Wei Chansheng sighed, and said, "I originally brought Brother Wang to go shopping, but I made Brother Wang laugh." ”
Wang Su smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't been to this Qingni Temple before, and now I can be regarded as a long insight." ”
At this moment, the crowded street suddenly gave way, and a group of catchers trotted by.
Is that......
Wang Su saw a familiar figure in the group of arresters.
Isn't he supposed to be in Liangzhou? How did it appear in Tianjing?
Is it because of the Hu nationality's national teacher entering the Tang Dynasty?
But the Hu clan will inevitably pass through Liangzhou when they enter the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more impossible for him to return to Tianjing at this time......
Wei Chansheng saw Wang Su's abnormality and asked with concern, "Brother Wang, what's wrong?" ”
The expression in Wang Su's eyes changed, and he said, "It's nothing, I saw an old acquaintance just now." In this way, you go back to the house first, and I'll go and catch up with him, and I'll come back myself later. ”
"Huh? Good. Wei Chansheng nodded in response.
"By the way, remember to help me watch the second dog's kid endorse."
"Okay."
Wang Su squeezed into the crowd as soon as he spoke, and after a while, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea and disappearing.
