Zhang Shaofei looked at Lei Gong: "What do you say?" ”

This is definitely not a superfluous question, but another Zen opportunity, Lei Gong actually replied: "It's good to wither." ”

Zhang Shaofei still nodded: "If it is, if it is so, then let it go with the flow." ”

Zhang Shaofei asked Le Zhidan again: "What do you say?" ”

Le Zhidan is extremely smart, and he thinks that he will be able to answer better, and says without thinking: "What withers let him wither, and what is prosperous makes him prosperous." Le Zhidan thought that he had answered so satisfactorily and chicly! Even the arrogant young monk had a look of admiration in his eyes.

However, Zhang Shaofei shook his head and said, "No, no." Go with the flow and realize the Zen machine in nature is what almost every generation of patriarchs advocates. However, Zen is not pure nature, and Zen practitioners oppose laissez-faire, and emphasize human initiative and initiative. We, as children of nature, abandon evil and promote good, and transform ourselves, which is nature; To control one's own destiny and make it more in line with the laws of life in the universe is to truly go with the flow. This is the reason why a Zen person is a true wise man! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shaofei's gaze was like a warm finger, caressing the young monk's face.

The young monk suddenly understood Zhang Shaofei's words, but he couldn't let go of his arrogant shelf, so he reluctantly knelt down for Zhang Shaofei and said, "The wandering monk has realized the law, come to worship the mountain." ”

The reason why he said "worshipping the mountain" instead of worshipping his ancestors shows that he still looks down on Zhang Shaofei in his heart. When he kowtowed, his forehead did not touch the ground.

Le Zhidan jumped over, pointed to his head and said, "You are young, and you are arrogant and rude, which is a big mistake; And then he kowtowed and did not touch the ground, which was even more wrong than wrong. If you have no respect, you might as well not prostrate! ”

Relying on his own cleverness, Fa Wu said disapprerovitically: "The four major monks are empty, so why stick to the form? Besides, if I kowtow and don't touch the ground and bow down, it's equivalent to touching the ground and bowing, so why do you have to tell so clearly? ”

Lei Gong smiled: "You have some eloquence. Transcending all forms in the world, not being trapped by forms, this is indeed Zen. ”

Fa Wu became more and more proud, and glanced at Zhang Shaofei. Who knows, Le Zhidan jumped up coldly and slapped him hard.

Fa Wu was furious and shouted, "Women's family, why are you so rude? He even started beating people! ”

Le Zhidan-for-tat and said: "If I beat you, I didn't beat you, so why should you be so serious?" ”

With its spear and piercing its shield, Fa Wu was stunned.

Le Zhidan was also slapped by Zhang Shaofei for this kind of thing, and this time he finally got back the capital on Fawu. She didn't hesitate and said, "Besides, the four major monks are empty, your body belongs to the earth, and it should have been empty a long time ago. If you feel pain, it proves that you haven't cultivated to the four great emptiness, and I'm here to help you practice! ”

Fa Wu looked embarrassed, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Le Zhidan also said: "If you are now separated when you are beaten, and you can feel the difference between being beaten and not being beaten, then it proves that your forehead did not touch the ground when you kowtowed just now, which is deliberately rude." Shouldn't the rude be beaten? ”

Fa Wu was speechless, and his arrogance faded away.

Zhang Shaofei spoke: "Where are you from?" You must have something hidden in your heart! ”

"I'm from Jiangxi. He became a monk at the age of seven, and once read the Tripitaka in retreat, with 10,000 volumes of scriptures in his chest. I have recited the Lotus Sutra more than 3,000 times so far! As he spoke, Fada's head was tilted up again, and he was very proud of his hard work.

Zhang Shaofei said: "You are working hard. If you have recited tens of thousands of sutras and understood the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures, then you can be my teacher. But you are so proud that you have recited the Lotus Sutra 3,000 times, and you seem so naïve that you don't know your fault! ”

Zhang Shaofei held a sand pear and said: "Alas, this sand pear, I don't know how much wind and rain it took to ripen, have you ever tasted the taste of pear?" The brush that printed the Lotus Sutra has read the Sutra countless times, but I have never seen it become a Buddha! In the same way, it is useless to read it a million times with an arrogant appearance like yours! ”

Fada couldn't help but hang his head.

Zhang Shaofei continued: "Monks bow not only to show respect for others, but also to overcome their own 'arrogance'. This is because, once the habit of arrogance remains in the minds of the monks, if the 'self-grasping' is not eliminated, they will not be able to realize the truth of life in the universe. You just recite the sutras verbally, but you don't understand the meaning of the sutras. ”

When Zhang Shaofei said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Your name is Fada, but you have never reached Fada!" So he knocked lightly on the stone with his hand, and said to the beat:

The gift book is folded all over the building, and the head is not on the ground. If you have sinned with me, you will live, and you will be blessed with forgetfulness. Thou art now known as Fada, and thou shalt recite it without rest. Empty recitation but following the sound, the clear mind is a bodhisattva. Thou hast a reason for thy sake, and I speak for thee. But the Buddha is silent, and the lotus flower comes from the mouth.

Fada listened quietly, a hesitant look on his face. Although he was still standing, he looked left and right to hide the shame and irritability in his heart.

Zhang Shaofei said slowly: "Zhang Shaofei's family is poor and his father died early, he has never read and written. As far as I know, all the scriptures are enlightening our innate awareness, Buddha-nature, and prajna wisdom. ”

Fada lowered his head, his face full of joy and sorrow, shame and remorse. He repented and said, "Fada is young and ignorant, and from now on he must be humble and respectful. ”

Le Zhi Danchong ate melons and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can change them, you are a good child!" Come, sit down! The crowd couldn't help but laugh again.

Fada sat on the stone moved by Le Zhidan with half of his buttocks, and asked Zhang Shaofei with a twist: "When the disciple recites the Lotus Sutra, he does not understand the meaning of the scriptures, and he often has doubts. The master is full of wisdom, please explain it to me. ”

"Fada, the Dharma is originally accessible, but your mind is not accessible, and the Buddhist scriptures have no doubts, but you have doubts in your heart. If you read the Lotus Sutra, you must know what the Sutra says: the knowledge of opening the Buddha, the knowledge of the Buddha, the understanding of the Buddha, and the knowledge of entering the Buddha, right? ”

Fada was embarrassed: "I'm ashamed, the disciple only knows the literal meaning. ”

Zhang Shaofei elaborated: "The Buddha's perception is also the enlightenment of enlightenment. Buddha is enlightenment. There are four types of enlightenment, the wisdom of opening enlightenment, the wisdom of manifesting enlightenment, the wisdom of comprehending enlightenment, and the wisdom of deep enlightenment. If you hear enlightenment, you can go deep into the wisdom of enlightenment, and this is the wisdom of enlightenment, and your own consciousness and nature will be revealed. The wisdom of a Buddha is actually your own mind, and there is no other Buddha. People often cover themselves with the light of their nature, are obsessed with all kinds of superficial phenomena, are disturbed by their own lusts, and are willingly driven by material desires. That's why the Buddha Shakyamuni used all kinds of methods to preach painstakingly, exhorting people to settle down and collect their minds, not to seek out of their hearts, if you have the right cognition and opinions, you will always have wisdom, look at your own mind, stop evil and do good, and this opens up the wisdom of the Buddha. ”
