Phantom Jing whispered to herself: "Why didn't I think of this trick? ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "You are too persistent. Let go when it's time to let go, and give up when it's time to give up. This is true not only for playing chess, but also for learning Buddhism. If you don't give up something, how can you get it? Only empty bottles can be poured into Daigo! ”

The Endless Tibetan Nun, Liu Weishu, and Phantom Jing all said yes.

Liu Xiubin jumped up: "Second brother, didn't you say that you can't play chess?" ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded seriously: "That's true." ”

Liu Xiubin pursed his lips and said: "Liar, someone who has never played chess can come up with such a good trick?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said incomprehensibly: "I just said that I am not good at chess, not that I don't know chess." ”

Because Buddhism is like chess, life is like chess, and everything is like chess! What's more, when I was a child, my mother taught me to play chess; A few years ago, I was collecting firewood in the mountains, and because of the rain, I walked into a cave and watched a monk play a game of chess with a Taoist leader. ”

"Wow, wouldn't it? You've just watched a game of chess, and your understanding of chess theory is so exquisite, you can't ......" Liu Xiubin felt incredible.

Zhang Shaofei said: "If you want to improve your chess skills, read more Buddhist scriptures, and practice more meditation and prajna." ”

Liu Xiubin asked, "What is meditation and prajna?" What does this have to do with playing chess? ”

"In layman's terms, emotional cohesion is meditation, and wisdom manifestation is called prajna. The human mind is very vast, like the void, with no boundary, no square circle, no size, no color, no length up and down, no anger or joy, no good and evil, and no head or tail. Transcending opposites in this way, melting contradictions, not attaching to and not coveting, is prajna and meditation. Zhang Shaofei talked eloquently.

The three of Endless Collectors, Phantom Jing and Liu Weishu nodded yes, but Liu Xiubin fell into the fog and was dumbfounded.

Zhang Shaofei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Like just now, you regarded the opponent's chess on the chessboard as a mortal enemy, and you wholeheartedly wanted to eat the opponent and conquer the opponent. In this way, contradictions appear, antagonism arises, persistence and greed for their own strength, resentment and hatred of each other of the other party's chess pieces, can you still take care of the overall situation? Can there be a vast mind like the void? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shaofei glanced at Phantom Jing.

Phantom Jing was shocked, and his heart was enlightened, and he bowed to Zhang Shaofei and said, "Thank you, Brother Afei........ no, it should be the master's teachings and guidance to the poor nuns to practice." ”

Liu Xiubin fell into the clouds again: "He was originally talking about chess, when did he talk about Buddhism?" The Endless Tibetan Nun pointed to his head and said, "You, if you don't learn Buddhism, how can you know that Master Zhang Shaofei's witty words are like pearls?" ”

The sky was already dark, and the oil lamp was lit by phantom silence.

Liu Weishu asked, "Master, what is the difference between Prajna and meditation that you just mentioned?" ”

Zhang Shaofei explained in detail: "According to my experience, these two are like the back of the palm, and they are two inseparable sides. Meditation is the source of prajna, and prajna is the wonderful use of meditation. Only in the condensation of the mind can the light of wisdom be revealed. Just like the lights in this room, the light on the wick is the source of light, but the light is the function of the oil lamp, and the two are inseparable. ”

Liu Xiubin got up to pour tea, and the wind made the lights flicker and dim.

When he sat down again, the lights stopped flickering, and the room was much brighter.

Zhang Shaofei took the opportunity to ask: "Do you think that the oil lamp is a little brighter than just now?" ”

The crowd nodded.

Zhang Shaofei said: "The more windless and calm the light, the more it can show the bright light." Meditation is the same as prajna, and the deeper the meditation, the more it stimulates the wisdom of prajna. ”

Seeing the other people's attentive listening demeanor, Liu Xiubin couldn't help but be very interested in Buddhism, and said to Zhang Shaofei: "Second brother, Elder Zhang Shaofei, Master Zhang Shaofei, can I learn Buddhism with you?" Am I having a poor foundation? ”

"Mahayana Buddhism is not only for everyone to learn, but also for everyone to become a Buddha." Zhang Shaofei said loudly.

Liu Xiubin was full of joy: "Really? So, when will I become a Buddha? ”

"With your impatience, you still want to become a Buddha." The nun spread out his hands, "Okay, after saying this for half a day, Master Zhang has traveled a long way, and he must be hungry." Phantom Jing, you go cook. ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at Phantom Jing and said implicitly: "Your master and apprentice must hold noon, we won't disturb your master and apprentice's retreat, I'll go to Brother Xiubin's house for a meal." ”

After speaking, Zhang Shaofei, Liu Xiubin, and Liu Weishu got up to say goodbye.

Besides, this Liu Xuancun, in the Sui Dynasty, from the ninth year of the emperor to the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (589~617), belonged to Huaiji Nanhai County.

In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (621), Qizhou and Weizhou were set up in Xun'an County and Huaiji County respectively. In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Huaiji County and Xun'an County belonged to Nansui Prefecture. In the second year of Kaiyuan (714), Yonggu County entered Huaiji County.

Huaiji is known as "one river, two rivers and twenty-one waters", a river (Suijiang), a tributary of the Beijiang River, from the southeast of the county and the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea; The two rivers refer to the Zhongzhou River and the Fenggang River; Twenty-one water is the twenty-one rivers of the first and second tributaries such as Maning water.

Huaiji County is the main forest area in Lingnan, with a wide variety of forest species, with an area of 4 million mu of forest land and 10.2 million cubic meters of living forest volume.

Huaiji County is surrounded by mountains, and there are more than 60 peaks above 1,000 meters above sea level in the region, and 53 in the north. It is located in the northeast corner of the county, with an altitude of 1,626 meters, and is the highest peak in Lingnan.

Liu Xuan Village is located in Lingnan Huaiji, which is reckless and vast on the ground, stretching over 60 mountains and hundreds of thousands; The stream flowing around the village is like a clear eye wave, and the village is just like the shallow and gentle bend on the eye wave, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the village.

The stream that flows day and night, like a pure girl who can sing and dance, sings beautiful mountain songs, dances beautifully, and flows from the depths of the mountains with joy. Perhaps he didn't want the mountain to be too lonely, sometimes, it was naughty like a monkey, jumping down from a high cliff, stirring up the sky mist and pulling up colorful neon;

Sometimes, it is as quiet as a virgin, quietly converging into a secluded pool, reflecting the white clouds and the green mountains......

At the beginning of Liu Xuan's opening of the village, it was known as "the mountain is the father of Liu Xuan, and Liu Xi is the soul of the mountain". At this time, under the ancient banyan tree on the bank of the stream at the head of the village, Liu Weishu and several elderly people and young adults were talking about the past and the present in the shade of the tree.

I saw an elder with a gray beard and a rather pedantic style, shaking a paper fan and saying proudly: "If you want to talk about our Liu Xuancun, the old man and I heard the second wife say when I was a child, it is a treasure of feng shui!" The Liu Xi of Qing Lingling and the Chanlin Temple in the upper reaches of Liu Xi are all very promising. ”

A young boy with red lips and white teeth and a dignified appearance urged: "Old man, what is the origin of our village, tell us about it!" ”

I saw the elder who was called the old man, with his gray beard, and said proudly: "When I was young, I still listened to my grandfather, you can listen well." ”
