Chapter 40: The Theory of Good and Evil

After dinner, they returned to the small building, and the excited brothers took a shower, sat on their respective beds in their pajamas, and discussed the Sun Heart Sutra.

Jiang Yang talked about Ke Fei'er's plan.

"Senior brother, I was able to come back early, because Ke Fei'er found that the Sun Heart Sutra and the Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method were of no use to her, and she wanted to cooperate with us instead. With their funded laboratories and scientific research teams, the research work of the Xuanji Sutra can be started now. I think that being able to start research four years in advance has an immeasurable future for us and society. ”

Ou Zhou said with a smile: "Patriarch Sanfeng said, everything follows the fate and follows the trend. If someone is willing to provide research funding and research teams, no matter what her purpose is, we should try to accept it, after all, it is not desirable and unrealistic for people to invest. ”

"Senior brother, in this way, do you agree with Ke Fei'er's investment in the research of the Xuanji Sutra?"

"As you said, why not start your research four years in advance!"

"Okay, I'll let her know tomorrow."

"Let's ask her to draw up a contract clause, let's see first, what is her purpose?"

"It's a lesson to be learned."

"Kefeier has a deep background in foreign investment and is inextricably linked to foreign factors. This point should remind her that it must be stated in the terms of the contract, and there must be no trace of foreign-related factors in it. ”

Jiang Yang nodded: "This is the premise." ”

"At the same time, research results can only be used for the benefit of mankind, and must not be commercialized for profit."

"Yes, that's the core."

"Hehe, I was humiliated like that by my senior sister, but I don't know, what kind of state of mind Ke Feier is now?"

"She did it herself, and she deserved it."

Seeing that it was nearly midnight, Ou Zhou smiled: "There have been too many things recently, and we have always wanted to worship Patriarch Xie Bodhidharma, but we have not been able to practice it for a long time." Senior brother, let's light the incense, and after thanking us, how about asking the ancestor about the study of the Xuanji Sutra? ”

"Very well, I meant that." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

The senior brother then opened the safe and took out the Xuande furnace and the purple bamboo tube.

After lighting the incense that burned two-thirds of the letter, he bowed down three times, prayed silently several times, and then crossed his knees on the bed, gathered a wisp of spirit, and absorbed the original spirit out of the body.

Suddenly, Patriarch Bodhidharma floated in and asked with a smile: "Two little friends, what did you call me?" ”

The two of them bowed down and said: "Patriarch Rong Bing, the previous time in Shaomu Mountain, the ancestor dreamed of exploring the micro-heart method in the cave, and never thanked him, but this time he did it to fulfill his wish." ”

The patriarch smiled: "Haha, I'm afraid there is another purpose, right?" ”

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou glanced at each other, and both smiled and said: "The ancestor is wise, Xiao Kezheng is difficult to make a decision, and on the occasion of thanking the ancestor, ask the ancestor." ”

The patriarch stroked his beard in his hand and smiled like a fire: "It must be because someone is plagiarizing the Xuanji Sutra in the name of investment, so it is difficult to decide, right?" ”

"That's it."

The patriarch smiled slightly and said: "In the whole world, there are many people who are hungry for profit, and there are people who covet delusions. I think back then, in order to resolve my grudges, I did not hesitate to test the poison myself, escaped death several times, went through ups and downs, suffered many hardships, and got the road in the rear. Those who have been sanctified in ancient times have inherited the calamities that no one can bear, suffered the sins that no one can bear, traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, paid for the grievances of the world, solved the confusion of the world, and relieved the sorrow in their hearts. Be anxious about what people are anxious about, enjoy what people are happy, be fearless of sickness and suffering, not for merit, selfless in your heart, the world is wide, even if you are lonely like dust. Two little friends, do you understand what I said? ”

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou glanced at each other and said in confusion: "Xiao Ke is ignorant, and it is difficult to understand the wonderful sound for a while?" ”

The patriarch smiled and asked, "Do you know why I went from South India to the Central Plains to preach?" ”

"Please also ask the patriarch for advice?"

"I was originally the third son of Nantian Zhuxiang to Wang, and my real name was Bodhi Dora. Because of his devotion to Mahayana Buddhism, he became a monk and studied under Master Prajnatara. Later, my nephew inherited the throne of Nantianzhu, the king of dissidents, and he adopted a decree prohibiting faith in order to protect his dynasty from being bullied by foreigners. At that time, I sent my disciple Bharati to advise him, and Bharati succeeded in reversing the dissident king's policy of banning religion and making the dissident king a devout Buddhist. After that, in order to promote Buddhism, I sailed from South India to Huacheng in the last years of the Southern Dynasty, and from here I traveled all the way north, and after arriving in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I taught people with Zen Buddhism. In Luoyang, I saw the exquisite pagoda of Yongning Temple, which I had never seen in all countries. I stopped here and began to spread Buddhism in Luoyang and Songshan at the age of 150. ”

"The patriarch believed in Buddhism and gave up his glory, and did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the Central Plains to preach. However, the patriarch said, seeing the exquisite Luoyang pagoda and stopping, could it be that the Buddha also pays attention to beauty and solemnity? ”

"In the eyes of the world, there is no tolerance for vulgarity and ugliness, and if Buddhism wants to preach the scriptures, it must not be separated from the good of the world. If there is no one who recites the scriptures, there will be no people who listen to the scriptures. The Buddha hall is magnificent, it is solemn, and the Buddha body is golden, and it is for the treasure. The treasure is solemn, so that the world can have awe, and with the heart of awe, can the Buddha be pious. ”

"Dare to ask the patriarch, the Buddhist scriptures have transformed the world, preached for thousands of years, the treasure is flourishing, and the scriptures are widely praised, why is the people's hearts sinister but they are prosperous day by day?"

"The source of evil comes from the heart, and the evil of the heart comes from desire. If you want to harm people, you will also harm the society and the country. Buddhism is abstinent, Buddhist scriptures persuade goodness, but it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous people in the meantime, ruining the reputation of the Buddha and bringing bad people to the world. Those who desire the heart, the law cannot be forbidden, and the sword cannot be taken. Those who are in charge of teaching practice and advocate education, but they are willing to burn themselves when they have difficulties. At that time, the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, unwilling to hurt his life, treated each other with sincerity, and turned evil with good. It is to seek balance in the heart, plant good causes, and obtain good results. ”

"If evil is born in the heart, it should be cleansed, and if you want to be able to get rid of evil, you should get rid of it. Buddhism is based on persuasion, washing the heart with scriptures, and teaching people. However, there are thousands of people in the world with different hearts, and although the Dharma is magnificent, it cannot make everyone good. The great evil people appear frequently, and the great good people endure it. How did the patriarch feel about this? ”

"Over the past 3,000 years, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have written extensively, and talents have multiplied, and the achievements are as numerous as stars. However, it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change people's hearts, and those who are popular cannot be taken away even if they are husbands, and the wise are wise. ”

"The wicked man has great wisdom, but the man who desires great will do iniquity. The Dharma is powerless against the wicked, and it cannot be the wise to turn evil to good. Why does the Dharma only work for mediocre people? ”

"The great evil man is strong-willed, and it is difficult to obtain the merit in his eagerness; A wise person is good at arguing, and a person who is not a stronger arguer cannot be convinced. ”

"The patriarch's Buddhism is profound, and martial arts is unprecedented, and there is no one who has come after. If Buddhism can't overcome great evil, martial arts will definitely be able to take away its will. But the patriarch has seventy-two stunts, why don't you suppress evil with force for the great evildoers? ”

"Buddhism martial arts, emphasizing the defense of the Tao and protecting the Dharma, to avoid bullying the weak and taking people's lives."

"There are countless examples of Buddhism being forgiving, seeing evil and not getting rid of it, but being repulsed. Did the patriarch think it was worth it? ”

"Buddhism only seeks to be worthy of the heart, and does not ask whether it is worth it or not."

"Patriarch, if you don't get rid of the great evil, let it poison all sentient beings, so that you can be worthy of your heart?"

"Amitabha, do everything to eliminate evil and create evil, this is not what the Buddha wants."

"The Buddha said that compassion, seeing evil and not getting rid of it, is his extensive killing, compassion is born, where does compassion come from?"

"Amitabha, in this life he kills, and in the next life he is killed. The so-called cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, which refers to this matter. ”

"Among the disciples of Buddhism, there are always those who are mixed in, who do not worship the Buddha, but in order to collect money, chanting scriptures during the day and eating meat at night. How should such a drunken and meat disciple be punished? ”

"The world is difficult, everything is difficult, and people's hearts are good and evil, just a thought. Good, two little friends, it's coming to an end at midnight, you have a great responsibility, don't hurt the primordial spirit, return in time, Amitabha! With a Buddha call, the patriarch disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou took back the Yuan Shen and saw that the incense happened to burn out. Glancing at each other, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Jiang Yang asked, "Senior brother, the ancestor and I have been talking earnestly for a long time, do you understand?" ”

"The meaning of the patriarch is profound, and it boils down to one point, that is, to ask for a clear conscience, not to ask about fame and wealth, is this what it means, senior brother?"

"Patriarch Sanfeng said that everything follows fate and goes with the flow. Patriarch Bodhidharma said, but ask for a clear conscience, not about fame and wealth. The two patriarchs were two saints of the Buddha and Taoism, and they were from illustrious backgrounds, but they abandoned wealth and wealth to seek cause and effect, and they were able to create immortal achievements. Really great wisdom too. ”

"The Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, originally to save the pigeon's life, but because of this, he attained the avenue. If there is no willingness, how can the golden body of the Buddha come. ”

"Yes, the reason why a saint becomes a saint is because of the great merit of great sacrifice. It seems that if you want to make a breakthrough in the study of the Xuanji Sutra, you must also learn the way of the sage. ”

"Therefore, even if you know that Kefeier's intentions are sinister, in order to devote yourself to research as soon as possible, you must give up your interests, regardless of cause and effect, and only seek merit."

"I asked Kefeier about the conditions of cooperation, and she said that she didn't expect it yet!"

"It's hard to say whether this research will have a future or not. Since she is willing to fund the research team, let her wait for the future! ”

Jiang Yang nodded: "Senior brother, do you want to inform Vice Principal Shui about this matter of cooperating with Ke Fei'er?" ”

"Very necessary. And know everything, say everything. ”

"Okay, find a chance to have a good talk with Vice Principal Shui."

"By the way, tomorrow I will discuss the details of the cooperation with Kofeier. Is this matter delayed for a while, and it is not too late to talk about it after communicating with Vice President Shui. ”

"That's right, don't think too much about Vice Principal Shui."

"Senior brother, in your opinion, will Vice Principal Shui agree to our cooperation with Kefeier?"

"I think that if we didn't agree at first, we will eventually agree after our sincere words."

"Yes, it is difficult for the school committee to approve the research of the Xuanji Sutra, let alone scientific research funds."

"So, Vice Principal Water can't stop us."

"Yes, Vice Principal Shui is weak, and with such a good opportunity, he is afraid that it will be difficult if he doesn't agree."

"Not bad."

"Senior brother, tomorrow is the weekend, should we go to Panjiayuan again?"

"It's time to go, every time there is a harvest, but I don't know what good things will happen tomorrow?"

"We have 20 million of Kefeier, hehe, if you are not careful, you will become a tens of millions of little brothers."

"Hahaha, Ke Fei'er, who was wronged, was lost by two mental methods, spent 20 million yuan to unjustly spend money, and was followed by the senior sister who drew two little turtles on his face, even humiliated and humiliated, how uncomfortable will this be?"

"Senior brother, do you think she will be angry and go to arrest the senior sister for revenge?"

"I don't think she will."

"Yes, the previous time was for two mental methods, and there was a strong driving force. This time, it was just two small turtles painted on the face, and there was no danger. ”

"What's more, on the third day of her abduction and meditation, we came to the door. Her reaction was so funny. ”

"That's right, in just two days, the shock to her is enough for her to stop for a while."

"This foreign girl, both charming and beautiful, has a good life, is it interesting to compete all day long, fight and kill, and play with intrigues?"

"Some people are born to play exciting, and I think Ke Feier is exactly this kind of person."

"But her kung fu is really good, looking at today's martial arts, in addition to the two of us, she is counted."

Jiang Yang yawned, stretched again, and said, "The night is deep and sleepy, junior brother, let's sleep!" As he spoke, he tilted his head and then began to writh.

Listening to the sweet voice, Ou Zhou's consciousness gradually became confused, and soon he also fell asleep.
