Zhang Shaofei entered the first and said: "This bee, just like those of us who practice in the monastery, how do you think it can not be trapped in this meditation hall surrounded by four walls, but go to the vast world of freedom and ease? ”

Zen Master Rude followed Zhang Shaofei's finger and saw that the bee was "buzzing, buzzing" in the meditation hall, wanting to fly to the outside world of a hundred flowers, but always bumped into the transparent gauze paper pasted on the window. Undeterred, the bee flapped its wings and flew to the window on the other side, slamming into the gauze again. It whirls left and right, trying many times, but it hits a wall back and forth, in vain, and cannot fly out to approach the vast world outside, to get close to the lovely nature......

Zhang Shaofei saw Master Rude's focused demeanor, pointed to the bee, and then pointed to the layer of window paper, and raised his voice: "You see how diligent and busy this bee is, but it can't find a way out." It's just a thin layer of window paper from the world outside. ”

Zen Master Rude playfully: "It's just a thin layer of window paper from the outside world? ”

Zhang Shaofei walked to the window and gently poked the window paper with his index finger, and the window paper was pierced with a small hole.

"What do you mean by that?" Zen Master Rude looked at it inexplicably, only to see the bee flying out of the hole in the window paper and going to the flowers to collect honey.

Zhang Shaofei raised his voice: "You see, once this thin layer of window paper is pierced, it will be a new world for bees." In life, good and evil, good and bad, high and low, that is, the difference between a thought. Isn't the path of our meditation cultivation just like what we are looking for?! ”

Although Zhang Shaofei's words were short, they were as deafening as the thunder of Huang Zhong Dalu and the heavenly drum, which caused a strong resonance in the heartstrings of Zen Master Rude. He was so stunned that his mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time. A spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, he took the trouble to look at the green light and yellow scroll in this temple, and how much time and energy he spent to study and practice diligently, and to memorize and memorize, but he had never been so clear and clear now, and the realm in front of him was so open, and he suddenly felt that the whole meditation hall became bright.

Zhang Shaofei continued: "If you practice only by delving into the vast scriptures, interpreting those profound teachings, and abiding by those immutable practice norms, you can only become a bookworm. If you combine meditation with the present moment, this will activate the wisdom of life. When you are confused, you are carried by the Buddhist scriptures, and you can turn the Buddhist scriptures after you realize it! ”

Zen Master Rude pondered the meaning of Zhang Shaofei's words, and the more he pondered, the more he tasted the connotation: "When you are confused, you are carried by the Buddhist scriptures, and you can turn the Buddhist scriptures after you realize it?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said loudly: "Why work hard to keep the precepts with a peaceful heart, and why do you practice meditation if you are straight?!" One thought of practice, Dharma body and other Buddhas. If one thought is realized, all beings are Buddhas. ”

When Zen Master Rude heard Zhang Shaofei's direct teaching, he was deeply touched: "Amitabha, the poor monk thought that after becoming a monk, he let go of all delusions, and he was already red and dust-free, and his six roots were pure. In the temple, I have been reciting scriptures day and night, and I believe that by this way, I will be able to achieve positive results in the future and attain Bodhi, but in fact I am in prison. Today, I met the benefactor, so that the poor monks seemed to see the glow of the meditation lamp, illuminating the lost way; Let me brush away the clouds and fog barriers in front of me, and my confusion will be wide open, and I will see the past and the present. ”

Zhang Shaofei said humbly: "Master, don't hold me up so high, you must know that falling from a high place is uncomfortable!" ”

Zen Master Rude knew that he had met a master, and said sincerely: "Donor, in this Tianlu Temple, those little monks have returned to the meditation room to rest, and now they are silent, only you and me." We might as well talk about the matter of entering the WTO and leaving the world, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it directly. ”

Zhang Shaofei: "One light can remove thousands of years of darkness, and one intelligence can extinguish ten thousand years of foolishness." The best way for a person's life to break off the suffering is not to be polluted by the hustle and bustle, and to cultivate the mind and nature. The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. Leaving the world to find Bodhi is like asking for rabbit horns. The path to enlightenment is both physical and mental. The nature of oneself is pure, and one can become a Buddha when you see nature. ”

Zen Master Rude: "Don't look at the poor monks living in the deep mountains and old forests, but over the years, there have been hundreds of wandering monks from all over the world who have visited Daishan Temple and Tianlu Temple, and they have brought wonderful stories such as the dispute between the government and the opposition outside, and the changes in Buddhism to this silent mountain forest, so that I can also see the outside world." ”

Zhang Shaofei: "Really? ”

Zen Master Rude said in a pious and admiring tone: "Don't talk about what is far away, just say what is near." Humanity is a wild and desperate region in our new state, but there is a genius who has shocked Buddhism. ”

Zhang Shaofei had a vague premonition that the Rude Zen Master in front of him would continue to say something, and asked knowingly: "Genius of the world?" Master, who are you talking about? ”

Rude Zen Master is a word and a sound, like a pearl falling on a jade plate: "Hui, can!" ”

"Who is he?" Zhang Shaofei showed surprise on the surface, trying his best to control himself, pretending not to know how to ask rhetorically.

Zen Master Rude raised his finger in the direction of Longshan, and his words were like the stream of Tianlu Mountain Canyon gushing out: "I heard that he turned out to be just a firewood boy in Xialu Village, Longshan. The wandering monk from the north told the poor monk that the situation in the Dongchan Temple in Hubei Province changed a few years ago. The five ancestors of Hongren knew that they were old and thirsty, and they were used as people to find out the practice of the monks in the temple to fix the lamp. Senior Brother Shenxiu was originally poor and talented, and wrote a verse, 'The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror.' Wipe it diligently, don't make it dust'. I thought I could beat the crowd and take the lead. Unexpectedly, the unknown miscellaneous servant Lu Huineng was born out of nowhere, with a song 'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform.' Originally, there was nothing, where to stir up the dust's words and won the favor of the ancestors of the Hongnin, and finally the five ancestors of the master of the Hongnin passed the ancestral robe and golden bowl to him in the third watch. The empty door should be far away from the land of right and wrong, but unexpectedly, it has set off a lot of turmoil. ”

Zhang Shaofei inquired: "Huangmei Dongchan Temple suddenly thundered, shaking the Buddhist altar, I don't know what the master thinks?" ”

Zen Master Rude said: "Amitabha, although the poor monk is far away from the ancestral court, he is not an outsider. The major events of Buddhism are also the affairs of poor monks, and they should be kept in mind. The merits of this are indeed not easy to determine. But I think that Master Hongren has experienced the ups and downs of Buddhism, and is accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of the world. He certainly has his own vision and vision for the bigger picture. ”

Zhang Shaofei listened to what the other party said, knew that he was inclined to the Epiphany Sect, and also knew that this kind monk would not harm himself, and said: "The master cultivates meditation, not involved in the ups and downs of the world, nor swayed by secular prejudices, and has his own unique opinions, which are admired by today's people." ”
