Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color.

Everything that can be touched and can be carried in a physical body can be called color, and all invisible changes in birth and death can be described as Wukong. Zen Buddhism believes that one can become a Buddha only by discarding the external forms and colors that can be felt, and by penetrating the inner changes of birth and death, and having an incomparably broad inner world.

The two people on the left and Dugu on the right, are happy in the world, and all the actions they do are only to please their inner feelings, and how can they understand the inner changes of life and death, even if they put down the butcher knife, it is difficult to become a Buddha on the ground.

Dugu You thought to himself, I was born a tiger, I will only act according to the tiger, I will talk about two things in my life, eat and drink well, find a tigress to sleep well, and have no intention of seeking a biological population to be immortal.

Zuo Tuming regards himself as a martial arts practitioner, never loves bullshit, only knows how to stop fighting for martial arts, extinguish the anger of the opponent, and seek the so-called fame for himself and the so-called profit for himself. Seeing that the monk Buddha was shining brightly, and his face was sanctimonious, it was a false appearance, and he was angry in his heart, and replied loudly: "Monk, you bullshit, you can fool those weak people who need sympathy." Here, the strong are respected, the weak are slaves, and I only recognize strength, and there is no need to fool me. ”

The little novice had never heard the word fool before, so he couldn't help but whisper, "What is foolishness?" ”

Shi Qinghua happened to come over, heard Xiao Shami's question, and saw that no one was willing to answer one or two, and said on the side: "In the "Zhuangzi - Inner Chapter", it is said that the name of the emperor of the South China Sea is '倏', the name of the emperor of the North Sea is 'Hu', and the name of the central emperor is 'Chaos'. Suddenly, the two emperors were grateful, and heard that everyone had seven tricks, which were used for eating, hearing, seeing, and resting, but the Chaos Emperor did not, so he helped the Chaos Emperor dig a hole every day to show his return. Seven days later, the Chaos Emperor's seven orifices were opened and he died. ”

The little novice was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?" ”

Shi Qinghua replied: "Everything in the world is based on my appearance, born according to the original appearance, and destroyed by the false appearance. Suddenly, the two emperors violated the way of nature and helped the Chaos Emperor who did not need the seven tricks to open the seven tricks, so as to save the false and remove the truth, make it self-defeating, and destroy the original nature of the Chaos Emperor, and the Chaos Emperor has lost the original appearance since then, how can he live for a long time. ”

The little novice was half-understood, very confused, and said: "You mean, the tiger and wolf kill and eat meat, which is their true nature, just like a sheep eating grass, just to survive." If you let the tigers and wolves not kill and eat meat, it is like breaking their proper nature, and they will only starve to death, which is not only the same as killing them directly, but even more cruel. ”

Shi Qinghua felt that his group could hardly match Zuo Tuming and Dugu Right, thinking about the danger in the future, he wanted to use all external forces to either drive the two away or eliminate the two. So he said against his will: "The little master is very smart, and he can understand it at one point, which makes the little student admire." ”

When the monk heard this, his heart was slightly cold, and he said: "Amitabha, good, good!" Man is a man, a tiger is a tiger, and the two are not of the same kind. From a human to a tiger, the tiger is its false appearance, and then from the tiger to a human, it is to regain its true appearance, which is beneficial and harmless. ”

Zuo Tuming smiled: "Monk, you are wrong. ”

The monk asked, "Donor, I don't know where the fault is?" ”

Zuo Tuming said: "From good to bad, indulge yourself; From bad to good, it is difficult to restrain others. ”

After a slight pause, he changed his tone and continued: "A person who has done ninety-nine good deeds, and if the hundredth thing he does is bad, that person becomes a bad person and must be judged by the law or justice. If a person does one bad deed, and the ninety-nine things he does after that are all good, this person is still a bad person, and he will still be judged by the law or justice. Since there is bad karma in the body, it is difficult to escape the judgment of justice, so why not make mistakes and make mistakes to the end, and live a satisfactory life, wouldn't it be better? ”

The monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." Good, good! It seems that the donor can't let go of the butcher's knife, and it is difficult to become a Buddha on the spot? ”

Zuo Tuming replied with a smile: "Not necessarily. ”

The monk asked, "Donor, what do you want so that you can get rid of all your bad karma, put down the butcher's knife from now on, make good connections, and become a Buddha?" ”

Zuo Tuming said: "I heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle and sacrificing his body to feed the tiger, but no one has ever witnessed it, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

The monk said, "I don't know what kind of testimony the donor wants to do?" ”

Zuo Tuming replied loudly: "Monk, why do you want me to let go of all the bad karma I have committed in the past, and from now on I will consider myself a good person and be good with one mind. As long as you are not a bluff and a deceitful person today, but sincerely want to educate the world to be good, and you will not die under my palm, I will do what you wish, and future generations will not offend me, and I will not offend anyone. ”

The monk stood up straight, folded his hands, closed his eyes, and said, "Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell." Donor, if so, please do it. ”

"Master, no." The little novice knelt down in response and hugged the monk's thigh, not knowing what to do.

Cui Yingying, Ah Xing, Ah Zhu and others came over and said in unison with Shi Qinghua: "Master, no." ”

The monk was unmoved, unmoved, and said, "Amitabha." The bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is the back. Donor, please do it. ”

Zuo Tuming took a step back and said, "Monk, did I really do it?" ”

The old monk said: "Do it." ”

I saw Zuo Tuming raise his right hand, stared at the palm for a long time, and saw that the monk was dying of his heart, and couldn't help but fulfill him, and slapped it out with one palm, hitting the monk's chest and shaking the monk away two or three steps away.

The monk staggered back, unsteady on his feet, sat down on the ground, put his hands together again, and said, "Donor, monk, I have done what you wanted, and I hope you can also do what you say and do what you say." Since then, he has put down the butcher knife, but all the bad karma of the past has been reversed, and he has become new and good. ”

Zuo Tuming replied with a smile: "Monk, you have been caught in the palm of my ice god, as long as you can survive tonight, I will definitely give up all the sins of the past, calm down in the world, and be a person from the heart." He turned around and left, leaving behind a piece of speech: "Monk, you know, I am already riddled with bad karma, and it is difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the years and enjoy the second half of my life in peace." If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend. But there is life to live, and in order to escape the fate of humiliation, if anyone sins against me, I will also offend others. ”

"Amitabha!" The monk opened his eyes, looked at Chongming's sword Dugu You, and asked, "Dugu Daxia, what about you?" ”

Dugu You said: "Master, I have understood your kindness. Just think about it, over the years, the bad karma I have committed has long been exhausted, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of that nightmare circle. In order to live a happy life, only to be obsessed, not to be obsessed with epiphany, those who have enemies can come to take revenge, those who have grievances can come to revenge, and that's it. ”

The monk was hit by the cold ice divine palm, and he was already cold, cold to the bone, and said in a low voice: "Dugu benefactor, if the seeker can't get good retribution for a while, he can complain about the sky; Those who seek evil will receive evil rewards, and do not complain about others. Karma is retributive, tried and tested, and please cherish yourself. ”

Dugu right bowed slightly, turned around, and walked away, his steps were dashing.

Shi Qinghua approached the monk, and was unconsciously forced to take a step or two back by the monk's cold air, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you okay?" ”

The monk was helped by the little novice to stand up, and replied slightly: "It's not good, if you can survive tonight, even if this palm is not in vain, it can be regarded as a great merit." ”

Cui Yingying was puzzled and asked, "Master, you know this, why do you still do this?" ”

The monk smiled slightly, and said in a very weak voice: "Before others called me master, the left Tuming of the Cold Ice Divine Palm was my second brother, and Chongming Yijian Dugu Right was my third brother." As righteous brothers, they have gone astray and have bad karma, and I am half of their sins. Seeing each other today and not persuading them to go astray is equivalent to continuing to do evil with them. Amitabha. ”

Shi Qinghua said: "Master, since you cherish them so much, why didn't you do it earlier?" ”

The monk smiled bitterly, turned around, and with the support of the little novice, his body trembled and walked into the main hall, sat on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, and let the little novice ring the wooden fish and recite the scriptures.

The scriptures are like words, sending away everything outside the door; The scriptures are like hearts, combing through the ups and downs of half a life.

The rain stopped, the stratus clouds dispersed, and the sky was slightly bright.

The little novice listened to the scriptures, and for a moment, he saw the monk lying on the futon, soft as a cotton ball. Hurriedly got up and rushed over, helped the monk and asked, "Master, how are you?" ”

The monk said weakly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The little novice said, "I'll help you back to the meditation room." ”

The monk felt that it was feasible, climbed on the back of the little novice, left the main hall, entered the meditation room, and sat on the couch, feeling very safe.

Xiao Shami lit the oil lamp in the room, and saw that the monk's eyebrows seemed to have turned white, his eyes seemed to have turned red, and he looked like a statue of a god who had appeared somewhere, and he was very surprised, and said uneasily: "Master, your eyebrows... Your eyes...!"

The monk asked in a low voice, "Eyebrows, eyes, what's wrong?" ”

The little novice replied, "The eyebrows are white, and the eyes are red." ”

The monk whispered, "Hey! What should have come is still coming. ”

The little novice was very strange and asked, "Master, what is it that should come or come?" ”

The monk showed a hard smile and said: "I think I, Liu Zhanxiong, have been a thief for half my life, and there is a way to steal, and I bear the name of a thief." I repented, escaped into the empty door, took refuge in my Buddha, and purified the bad karma of my life. Unexpectedly, when the deceased reunited today, all the bad karma in his life was exposed and exposed, and he found that it is easy to do evil and go to evil. Since the eyebrows are white, and the eyes are red, the appearance of the white eyebrows and red eyes is reproduced, and death must not be far away. He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." ”

The little novice said, "Master, is it really difficult to resolve the bad karma in the world? ”

The monk replied, "First accept the righteous judgment, then get rid of the evil and promote the good, and finally seek the good results, then it can be regarded as a real solution." If you can't accept the righteous judgment first, your heart will turn into nothing, just like looking at the plum to quench your thirst, painting bread to satisfy your hunger, and talking about masturbating with fantasy, how can you dissolve it? ”

The little novice said: "Isn't it a lie to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?" ”

The monk said, "The butcher's knife here refers to all delusions, delusions, confusions, reversals, separations, attachments, and letting go of them in order to see the Buddha nature and cultivate to become a Buddha." ”

The little novice asked, "Master, have you seen the Buddha nature before?" ”

The monk said, "No." I only knew that I was wrong, but I didn't dare to accept the righteous judgment, because I took refuge in my Buddha to escape my sin, and since I didn't see Buddha nature, I naturally couldn't cultivate to become a Buddha. ”

The little novice asked, "Then have you seen the Buddha nature now?" ”

The monk said: "I saw it, but it's a pity that it's too late, and I don't have a chance to cultivate and become a Buddha." ”

The little novice said, "If the Buddhas come, hence the name." Relying on the path of truthfulness, through hard work, constantly accumulating good causes, and finally cultivating to become a Buddha, is for the true body. By introducing the path of truthfulness, sentient beings can increase their wisdom, eliminate their afflictions, and gain benefits. Master, you missed it before, you haven't seen the Buddha nature, and you can't cultivate into a true body. But now that the teaching of the true way is like that, Ze is by sentient beings, and it is reasonable to cultivate to the body as it should be, how can it be said that there is no chance to cultivate to become a Buddha! ”

"Amitabha!" The monk listened to the words of his disciple, and suddenly opened his mouth, saw that the window was bright, and once he let go of the attachment in his heart, he no longer cared about it, and passed away with a smile.
