Besides, Zhang Shaofei was carrying firewood, and before he knew it, he came to the single-plank bridge where the monk was lying on the valley stream last time.

But I saw that the stream under the small bridge was "rattling" and flowing.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Shaofei touched the old things, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the scenery is still the same, and the personnel are no longer the same!" The Daoist Master of Cloud Mountain is no longer alive, what about the monk? Where are you right now? ”

Zhang Shaofei put down the firewood and lay on a large stone shaped like a sofa next to the bridge, thinking leisurely, and his ears seemed to sound again, "People cross the bridge, and the bridge does not flow...... the water flows".

……

Zhang Shaofei seemed to be out of his body, followed the sound, looked around, and suddenly, a big spectacle appeared in front of him: on the ethereal fog curtain, a lifelike "Yunwu Mountain Dao Long Stone Statue" sat on the peak of the Holy Ancestor of Yunwu Mountain, showing a colorful halo, reflecting the entire figure of the Dao Chang in it, like a colorful halo above the stone statue's head.

In an instant, Zhang Shaofei was shocked by the strange scene in front of him.

Cloud Mountain Road Long ...... Still alive?

When Zhang Shaofei returned to the "Long Stone Statue of the Cloud Mountain Road" of the Holy Ancestor Peak in front of him from that mysterious meditation, he realized that the wonders in front of him were incredible......

Zhang Shaofei was about to cross the bridge with firewood, and there was a faint sound of melodious pastoral songs in the distance, and occasionally, he faintly heard the sound of light footsteps provoked by walking. It turned out to be a shepherd boy riding upside down on the back of an ox, with a pastoral song blowing from a leaf in his mouth.

In the distance are rolling green hills, and in front of you is a small river flowing slowly.

Zhang Shaofei waited for the shepherd boy to approach the bridge and asked, "Little brother, what song did you play just now?" ”

The shepherd boy drank the buffalo, sat on the back of the ox, and said, "I know if I blow or not, and you know if I hear or not." If I had blown it, why couldn't I hear it at this moment? If you don't blow it, how can you ask questions about it? ”

When Zhang Shaofei heard this, he knew that he had met a master again today, and he knew that he was not an opponent, so he said bluntly: "Little brother, I think you said these words, it seems to be understood, at first glance, it seems to be quite clear, but after thinking about it, I am confused again." ”

The shepherd boy asked, "Big brother, don't you understand?" ”

Zhang Shaofei replied: "No." Please let the little brother know. ”

"Okay, I'll make it clear to you this time, I heard you clearly." The shepherd boy said and chanted loudly: "Walking north and south of the east and west streets, I suddenly heard that outsiders were biting dogs. Pick up the dog and smash the brick, but let the brick bite the hand. It's strange and strange, the sparrow bites the old hen to death. An ant is three feet long, and the old man sleeps in the cradle......"

When the shepherd boy said this, Zhang Shaofei opened his mouth and stammered: "This, this, this...... What song is this? ”

The shepherd boy laughed and told you, "It's an upside-down song!" So saying, the shepherd boy rode his oxen over the bridge and sailed away.

Zhang Shaofei stood at the head of the single-plank bridge, and the green water under the bridge was still flowing.

Zhang Shaofei saw that it was getting late, so he picked up firewood, crossed the single-plank bridge, and continued to hurry.

Passing by the bank of the waterhole in the middle of the mountain forest, Zhang Shaofei was attracted by the scenery here and couldn't help but stop.

The gorgeous sunset, like overturned paint, sprinkled into the sky, set off the blood-red sunset. But the sunset is like a drunken poet, thrown into the pool, swaying and dyeing the pool of clear water into a dazzling bright red, flickering and rolling, and from time to time emitting a red glow to the sky.

He was so fascinated that he unconsciously put down the load of firewood, sat down by the mirror-like pool, and naturally thought about it......

After some time, when he awoke from his contemplation, he found that the water of the pool, which had been dyed red by the setting sun, had turned silvery white.

"Isn't that right? I feel like after only sitting for a while, the water in the pool will change color......" Zhang Shaofei muttered to himself, and when he looked up, he saw that a bright moon had risen into the sky.

Moon reflected in the water, cloudless sky......

In this situation, Zhang Shaofei touched the scene, his brain opened, and the phrase "Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, thousands of miles of clouds and thousands of miles of sky" This very high level of Buddhism actually came out of his mouth.

What a state it is!

At this time, for Zhang Shaofei, water is water, the moon is the moon, because of the illumination of the moon, there is a moon in the water, and the moon is in the water. But the moon in the water is not the moon, but the illusion of water; The moon is in the water and is the reflection of the water. It's a bit of a sense of right and wrong, right and wrong.

As Vajra Prajnaparamita said, in the hearts of thousands of people, there are thousands of Buddhas. Ten thousand Buddhas are like thousands of rivers and moons, and ten thousand Buddhas are one Buddha. Seeking Buddha with your heart is like fishing for the moon in water. The heart has nothing to ask for, it is as safe as stopping water, and the heart Buddha corresponds, and this heart is the Buddha.

Buddhist scriptures: Everyone can be a bodhisattva, Bodhi means enlightenment, Sa means sentient beings, and Bodhisattva is a practitioner who is a prophet and a practitioner who benefits sentient beings. In my impression, Buddhism is not very demanding on the ritual of initiation, the so-called "there is a Buddha in the heart, and seeing people is the Buddha", and there is also a saying of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground".

Although there are many believers in Buddhism, the reasons and purposes for taking refuge in Buddhism are different, just like "a thousand rivers have water and a thousand rivers and moons".

There is only one month, but because of the difference in water, the reflection is very different. There are many exquisite stories in Zen Buddhism, and the "epiphany" that Zen Buddhism talks about is the best embodiment of Buddhism's desire to return to the Buddha nature in human nature.

Those who are not enlightened follow the precepts of Buddhism meticulously, and gain peace of mind in following them; Those who will be enlightened will gradually understand the essence of Buddhism in the process of following it; Those who have had an epiphany have already understood the true meaning of Buddhism, transcendent from things, and no longer confined by rules.

"Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shiguan", after all, only exists in the poet's fantasy, the vicissitudes of life, today's moon is by no means the moon of ancient times, and the moon of tomorrow is not today's month.

There is water in the river, there is a moon in the sky, as long as there is water in a thousand rivers, there will be a moon on a thousand rivers; There are clouds in the sky, and the clouds are the sky, as long as there are no clouds in the sky, then the sky is blue for all the miles.

"Thousands of rivers have water and thousands of rivers and moons", the moon is like Buddha nature, thousands of rivers are like sentient beings, rivers are not big or small, there is water and there is a moon; People do not distinguish between high and low, but if they are human, they have Buddha nature.

Buddha-nature is in the human heart, omnipresent; Just like the moon shining on the river, everything is reflected. Any sentient being, as long as he has the heart to learn Buddhism, he has Buddha nature, and any river, as long as there is water, it will have a bright moon.

"There are clouds in the sky, and there are clouds in the sky, and the sky is above the clouds. As long as there are no clouds in the sky, then the sky will be blue for all miles. Heaven can be seen as the Buddha's mind, and clouds are material desires and afflictions.

When the troubles and material desires are gone, the nature of the Buddha's mind will naturally appear.

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is sometimes non-action. Buddha-nature, between being and not being; The world is wandering between the virtual and the real. If so, whether it is the moon, water, dreams, or sorrows, when I go to the Buddha's house, the verse says: All watermarks in January, and all water in January. What a realm!

……

"Hey, hey! The sun is past midday, and you're still sleeping! Aren't you afraid that your family won't see you, and you'll worry about you when you go back? "It was the same hunter again, and when he saw that the boy who had been collecting wood from the last time was lying on the boulder, and he would not wake up no matter how much he screamed, he stretched out his hand and pushed him a few times.

Zhang Shaofei was sleepwalking, his brain suddenly woke up, and he could hear someone talking to him, but his limbs couldn't move, and he couldn't shout if he wanted to.

In fact, this is a manifestation of the separation of one's own soul and body, and there is a feeling of floating.

At this time, Zhang Shaofei probably felt this way.

Zhang Shaofei was pushed by the hunter, and suddenly woke up, and stood up with a "shy" sound, "Ah, I'm scared to death!" I thought I was kidnapped......"

"Why are you asleep?" The hunter saw Zhang Shaofei's sleepy-eyed appearance, so he asked with concern.

"You...... Why are you again? Zhang Shaofei's eyes widened and asked in confusion.

"I don't wake you up, I'm afraid you'll sleep until dark!" The hunter pointed to the sky and said to Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei looked up and said anxiously: "Ah! The sun is past midday, and I have to carry firewood down the mountain to the firewood market to sell, and then buy rice and go home. My mother is still waiting for me to buy rice and cook it. ”

"Since you still know that there is a father and mother at home waiting for you to go back, then you must not sleep in the barren mountains and mountains in the future! You see last time, how dangerous it was...... "Perhaps, it is the natural reason of father's love, so that the hunter has more love for the firewood boy in front of him who is the same age as his son, the hunter said this, took out a piece of pancake from the bag and handed it to Zhang Shaofei, and said lovingly, "It's all this hour, eat a pancake first to satisfy your hunger, so that you have the strength to carry firewood and hurry." ”

Zhang Shaofei excused himself and said: "Uncle, this is the lunch you kept for food, I ate it, aren't you going to be hungry?" ”

Seeing Zhang Shaofei say this, the hunter smiled and took out another pancake from the bag, and said while eating, "I still have it in the bag!" Child, eat quickly, eat well and hurry. ”

Zhang Shaofei saw that the hunter was so enthusiastic, so he had no choice but to obey his fate respectfully.

At this time, Zhang Shaofei was indeed so hungry that his stomach "croaked", took the pancake, and devoured the whole pancake in his stomach at once.

After seeing Zhang Shaofei finish eating the pancakes, the hunter untied the gourd tied to his belt from his waist and handed it to Zhang Shaofei, "Drink saliva." ”

After Zhang Shaofei drank the water, he said comfortably: "Ah, I'm full, it's so comfortable." Zhang Shaofei just wanted to say, "Thank you!" Only then did I remember that I hadn't asked the other party for his name.

Before Zhang Shaofei could speak, the hunter had already opened his mouth and asked, "What's your name?" Obviously, the hunter and Zhang Shaofei thought of a piece.

Zhang Shaofei stepped forward and said respectfully: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Shaofei." After Zhang Shaofei introduced himself, he then asked, "Uncle, what is your surname?" ”

The hunter pointed to the big mountain opposite, "Your name is Ding Dayong, and I am from Eshi Village on Yunwu Mountain. Most of our people there make a living from hunting. ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at the endless fields and rows and villages at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "I am from Taizhen Village under the mountain, and I make a living by collecting firewood. ”

"Oh...... It's more than ten miles away from Taizhen Village, and it's going to take more than half a day, Ah Fei, you'd better hurry up. Ding Dayong reminded Zhang Shaofei and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Dayong." After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he picked up the firewood and said goodbye to Ding Dayong.
