Today is the pilgrimage to the Buddha, the main task of the monks in the temple is to pray for blessings and preach the Dharma, believers have questions, the monks can not refuse, so Lin Shuran dared to recklessly shout out to stop the two.

"What is the question of the female benefactor?" The big monk and the white-haired old man glanced at each other, and then looked at Lin Shuran at the same time.

"Don't blame the two masters for rashly asking for advice, I'm afraid it will delay you for some time, it's better to sit in the meditation room, so that I can tell the questions in my heart in detail, so that I can listen to the opinions of the two masters." Lin Shuran sincerely requested.

"This-" The great monk hesitated, and at this time, Honggu also walked out, and she also gave a salute to the two old men, and seeing her appear beside Lin Shuran, the white-haired old man was obviously stunned, and then his eyes flashed with understanding, and his eyes towards Lin Shuran also became extremely interested.

The white-haired old man laughed and said, "Let's wait for that person, let's listen to this female doll first, don't you say that all beings are equal, since this is the case, it should be treated the same." ”

When the great monk saw the old man say this, he had no choice but to come down, thinking that the person he was going to see would not be blamed, so he and the old man followed Lin Shuran into the meditation room where the county lord of Xiqing lived before.

As soon as he entered the meditation room, the white-haired old man's eyes narrowed keenly, he swept around the meditation room without a trace, and then glanced fixedly at the back of the screen.

Lin Shuran seemed to notice the abnormality of the white-haired old man, and when he saw him looking behind the screen, he immediately asked them to sit down on the futon with their backs to the screen, and then sat down by himself, and Honggu poured three cups of fragrant tea.

"Female donor, now you can talk about it!" The great monk seemed to be in a hurry to do something else, and he wanted to answer Lin Shuran's questions as soon as possible.

Lin Shuran seemed to have heard the sound of footsteps not far away, as if there were still a lot of people, She smiled on her face and said to the two old men: "I have heard a poem of Buddhism, but I have never understood it, this poem is not far away, 'The Buddha is not far away in Lingshan, and Lingshan is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Tower, so as to repair the Lingshan Tower', dare to ask the master, if it is really as this poem said, "Lingshan is only in your heart", then where is the meaning of this Buddha Conference, everyone believes in Buddha only in their hearts, today some people even go thousands of miles here, what is the meaning? ”

Facing Lin Shuran's question, the two old men's eyes flashed with surprise, and they fell silent in an instant, they never thought that Lin Shuran would be able to say such a profound Zen language.

"Dare to ask the female benefactor who this poem is talking about?" The great monk asked sincerely, and the person who can say these words must be a high-ranking monk.

Lin Shuran smiled bitterly: "I also heard about it by chance, but I couldn't figure it out in my heart after hearing it. ”

This poem was said by a person named Wuchao Zen Master in the famous book "Journey to the West" that Lin Shuran had read, and he was a virtual character, and it would be even more unclear when she said it.

The great monk nodded his head, and carefully recalled the four sentences that Lin Shuran said, and said with emotion: "The person who can say this must be a person with a pure heart, the heart is the Buddha, the Buddha is the heart, if a person does not cultivate his heart, it is to add more sesame oil money, no matter how many scriptures he recites, it will be useless." ”

"That's right, that's right!" The white-haired old man also said, "Too many people in this world go to the Buddha for help when they encounter something, but they don't think that things have to be solved by themselves, so people who worship and believe in Buddha are stupid people, they don't know where the real Buddha is, what they worship, they just want to let the gods and Buddhas protect him." ”

"Do the two masters mean that people in this world should seek the heart and not the Buddha, not the Buddha and not the heart, so what is the 'heart'?" Lin Shuran continued to ask.

The great monk pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Shuran with a deep and generous look and answered her: "The so-called 'heart' should be a person's character, virtue, upbringing and ability to do things, to be kind and benevolent, to be tolerant and generous, to be pure and upright, to be content and happy, to care for all sentient beings, to be compassionate, to be filial to the son of man, to be loyal to the minister, to be ......a husband, and to be chaste as a wife."

"Bang-" At this moment, the door of the room that had been hidden by Honggu was brutally kicked open from the outside, and then a group of people forced their way into the room, and then someone shouted loudly, "The slave saw the thief enter this room just now!" ”

Princess Ling led her daughter Lord Kerou and her daughter-in-law Qi Rou'er and Gu Xiruo into the room together, originally with an imposing posture, but when she stepped in, she found Lin Shuran sitting there, and there were two old men in monk's robes in front of her.

"What's going on? Mrs. Xu, why are you here? It's not here-" The county lord of Kerou looked at Lin Shuran in disbelief, this is obviously the meditation room of the county lord of Xiqing, how can there be someone else here.

"Isn't it rude for a few people to trespass into other people's meditation rooms?" Lin Shuran pretended to be displeased and got up, first apologized to the two old men, and then stood up straight to face Princess Ling and her group, and asked puzzledly, "Today is the Long'an Temple Buddha Conference, what does Princess Ling mean by breaking in with such a large group of people?" ”

Princess Ling first glared at her daughter and daughter-in-law, and then immediately resumed the arrogant demeanor of the royal daughter-in-law, and then glanced at the two old men who were still sitting on the futon, with contempt flashing in her eyes, and finally looked at Lin Shuran coldly and replied: "It's nothing, just now someone saw a thief break into the female guest meditation room in the backyard of the temple, and the women living in this courtyard are all from various mansions, and the concubine is worried that the thief will commit murder, so she wants to catch that person, but the concubine heard that this Zen room was originally lived by the lord of Xiqing County of the Qing Palace, why is Mrs. Xu here?" What about the county lord of Xiqing? ”

"I wonder what Princess Ling is looking for me?" At this moment, the county lord of Xiqing walked out of another meditation room, there was such a big movement here, it would be even stranger if she didn't appear, now she had stabilized her mind and walked over with a natural face.

"Zhao Xiqing, why are you ......" The county lord of Kerou was shocked when he saw the county lord of Xiqing coming out of another room, regardless of everyone's eyes, he ran to the meditation room and rummaged through, but walked out of it again with a disappointed expression.

Seeing her unwillingness, the county lord of Xiqing said in a cold tone: "Your Ling Wangfu is really well-educated, you will break into other people's meditation rooms at will without saying hello, don't forget, this is not the back house of your palace, the place where Buddhism is pure, how can you mess around!" ”
