Zen Master Rude continued: "Within the empty door, it is unfathomable, and it is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents. The mantle of passing the lamp, can not only look at how much you read, can not be senior, can not be distinguished between respect and inferiority, but should be high in morality, let the dragon elephant talent, the Zen wind banner high, stand in the world, the wind and grass, the public expectation, in order to be able to cross the sea of law, from generation to generation. ”

Zhang Shaofei heard the resonance and praised: "The master is really open-minded and extraordinary. ”

Zen Master Rude shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that after Lu Huineng took the lamp, according to the admonition of Master Hongren 'My Way to the South', he led the world far away, and now it is still like a mud cow into the sea, and there is no sound." ”

Zhang Shaofei followed his words: "One leaf, one Bodhi, one flower, one world." Zen Gate has both the mantle inheritance, set the person who holds the lamp, even if it is now like a yellow crane, but when the black clouds are pressing the city, you can only protect your body first, hide and cultivate, Taoguang and obscurity, and wait for a good opportunity. When he lifts the dark clouds and sees the blue sky, there will be a hidden dragon out of the abyss, revitalize the majestic wind, at that time in the Buddhism, the Zen wind is strong, and the Zen science advocated by the five ancestors Hongren will definitely carry forward. ”

"What the donor said is very true." Zen Master Rude heard Zhang Shaofei say this, and blurted out the words in his heart, and his thick eyebrows were locked, his eyes were fixed, and he looked Zhang Shaofei up and down for a while, and then asked in an inquiring tone, "Donor, the poor monk talked to you about the scriptures and the Tao today, and saw that you were in the world, but your heart was in the Brahman. Your insight can really be compared with the great monks in my Buddhism. There is a way that Daze rises from the dragon and snake. Could it be that you are the one who hides in the forest and springs and takes over the Buddha lamp? ”

Zhang Shaofei knew his current situation, and he was still in the period of being hunted down, even in this sparsely populated place, in the face of like-minded Buddhists, it was inconvenient to expose his true identity, and after hearing this, he waved his hand and denied: "No, no, no." Today, I am in front of you, the master, is just a class axe, straight to express the chest, because I often see the monks who travel all over the world to the Xinzhou region, listen to their teachings, and understand their Zen Taoism, so I know a little about your Buddhism. Speaking of this, Zhang Shaofei patted his shoulder with his right hand and continued: "Look, how can I, a mountain man, with thin shoulders, bear the burden of reviving Buddhism?!" ”

Zen Master Rude's eyes flashed with a bright light, pointed directly at Zhang Shaofei, and asked, "Donor, are you telling the truth?" ”

The corners of Zhang Shaofei's mouth pulled slightly, smiled slightly, pointed to his chest, and said: "The master has been studying and meditating for many years, and he should know that the mind is a Buddha." Who am I, you can go straight to your heart, understand yourself, and you don't need to spend your lips and tongues to ask questions. ”

Zen Master Rude had already heard the story of the Buddha Shakyamuni smiling with flowers and spreading his heart from Master Dinghui: when the Buddha Shakyamuni spoke the Dharma on the Vulture Mountain, he held the golden Bora flower given to him by the Great Brahma King to show the public, and his attitude was peaceful, but he did not say a word. All the disciples who were waiting to listen to the scriptures were at a loss, and only the disciple Moagaye smiled slightly. Shakyamuni announced on the spot: "I have the Dharma Eyes hidden, and I meditate on the Dharma, which is a mysterious mental method, and now it has been transmitted from the heart to the heart. On the spot, he gave the robes and bowls to the Moagaya. This is the classic story of Buddhism.

Zen Master Rude listened to Zhang Shaofei say this, and saw that he pointed directly to the hearts of the people, and understood a little in his heart, knowing that now is an extraordinary period for Buddhism, and there is no need to delve into it, so he also pointed to his heart and smiled: "Amitabha, smile at the flowers, good!" Wonderful! Donor, you're right, that is, the mind is a Buddha. There is no need to preach any more, the poor monk has already understood. ”

Zhang Shaofei smiled at Zen Master Rude.

It is at this time that silence is better than sound, and the heart is clear.

At the time of parting, Zen Master Rude personally sent Zhang Shaofei out of the main hall of Tianlu Temple.

Several white cranes soar and hover overhead.

The mountain breeze blows in the face, which is refreshing.

Zhang Shaofei stopped in front of the granite stone steps and said goodbye to Zen Master Rude.

Zen Master Rude said to Zhang Shaofei with deep feelings: "People say that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Today I am listening to your words, and I am better than reading ten thousand volumes of scriptures. Donor, I hope that you will come to our temple more often when you have time in the future, and give guidance to the poor monks. ”

Zhang Shaofei also came with his hands folded back: "Good! Wonderful! Master, how can I give you some guidance?! I'm just revealing my heart. In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will naturally go to Tianlu Temple to pay homage to the master and listen to your teachings. ”

"Okay." Master Rude nodded and replied.

The mountain breeze is refreshing.

Master Rude sent Zhang Shaofei to the stone steps of the mountain gate of Tianlu Temple, and the two waved goodbye.

Ruhai has been standing on the stone steps, watching Zhang Shaofei's figure slowly disappear into the twilight of the mountains......
