When Liu Zhiluo heard this, he first took a march, then laughed, and said, "You two don't be polite!" Since you are all commensurate with brother and sister, then I ...... with Ah Neng" Liu Zhiluo said this, his eyes rolled, his gaze stopped on Huineng's face, and said, "Can we also be commensurate with brothers?" ”

"Okay! That's what I mean. Huineng said happily.

Liu Zhiluo and Huineng hit it off at first sight, the more they talked, the more they surrendered, and they had a great sense of hating each other, so they immediately burned incense, took heaven and earth as evidence, married Jinlan, and officially worshiped as brothers.

Liu Zhiluo is two years older than Huineng and is respected as an elder brother.

After Liu Zhiluo and Huineng became brothers, he turned to his little sister Liu Zhixiu, "Sister, from today on, you will call Huineng the second brother." ”

Liu Zhixiu's face was slightly red, looked at Huineng, and whispered, "Second brother, please take a seat." That day, if it weren't for the second brother to save me, I would ...... little sister."

Huineng humbly said, "It's nothing, I just happened to catch up." ”

Liu Zhiluo teased on the side: "Yes, coincidence is providence." Otherwise, how could the little sister know Brother Huineng? This is probably fate, natural fate. ”

Liu Zhixiu and Huineng were a little embarrassed by Liu Zhiluo.

Liu Zhixiu touched the corner of his clothes with his hand and changed the topic: "Second brother, how is your body recovering?" ”

Huineng patted his chest and said, "Okay, all right!" ”

Liu Zhi said implicitly: "Brother Huineng, if you are not good, my little sister will be completely finished!" ”

Huineng asked in surprise, "Sister Zhixiu, the snake venom on your feet has not been eliminated?" ”

"The snake venom is all sucked out by you. What I'm talking about is that in the past few days when you were in a poisoning coma, my little sister didn't eat or sleep, and stayed by your side, constantly giving you cold compresses and wipings. If you wake up a few days later, she will not die of exhaustion, but she will have to cry to death. Liu Zhiluo said humorously.

Huineng stood up and said, "Thank you Sister Zhixiu for taking care of her during her illness." ”

Liu Zhixiu's face was flushed, and he muttered in a low voice: "Don't listen to the big brother's nonsense." ”

Liu Zhiluo pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Sister, do you say that the eldest brother is talking nonsense? Whose eyes cried like giant pandas the other day? ”

Liu Zhixiu ran out of the living room with a shy face.

She came to the small pool in the courtyard and sat facing the water. The pool is as calm as a mirror, and a budding lotus is slim. Zhixiu's beautiful face is reflected on the water, pure, shy, beautiful, human face, lotus flower contrast, flowers increase human face three points white, people dye lotus a little shy, comparable to flowers:

Feng'er was affectionate, and quietly sent the conversation between Liu Zhiluo and Huineng: "Brother Huineng, who else is in your family?" ”

"It's just my mother."

Liu Zhixiu seemed to sink into some kind of fantasy, her eyes revealed a hazy longing, and her mind and body were intoxicated with great happiness......

A small bird flies through the air, leaving behind a string of melodious chirps.

The melodious chirping of the bird woke Liu Zhixiu from her dream, and she was ashamed and covered her red cheeks with her hands.

Liu Zhixiu's hand slowly moved away, the girl's face reflected on the water was still red, she smiled silently, and stretched out her hand to disturb the world in the water.

Liu Zhiluo and Huineng's voices were faintly inaudible. Liu Zhixiu thought for a moment and walked into the kitchen.

Liu Zhixiu carried a plate of fruit and quietly walked along the corridor to the door of the living room.

In the living room, Liu Zhiluo was still chatting with Huineng.

Liu Zhiluo asked: "Brother Xian, are you going north this time to visit relatives and friends or do business?" Huineng said: "I am neither visiting relatives nor doing business. I guess it's a study. ”

Liu Zhiluo said: "Oh, I really didn't see it, the virtuous brother is also a scholar. ”

Huineng smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." What I am talking about is not the study of your scholars, I want to go to Huangmei Dongshan Zen Temple to worship the five ancestors Hongren as a teacher and learn Buddhism......"

What Huineng said happened to be heard by Liu Zhixiu, who came to the door of the living room with the fruit, and couldn't help but get distracted, and with a "clang", the fruit porcelain plate in his hand fell to the ground. Liu Zhiluo and Huineng heard the noise coming from outside the door and stood up at the same time.

Liu Zhiluo said: "Brother Xian, you haven't recovered yet, please sit down first, and I'll go out and have a look." Huineng thought to himself, this is in someone else's house, more things are better than less, so he sat down obediently again.

Liu Zhiluo walked out of the living room and saw a mess outside the door: a porcelain plate was shattered, and a few fruits were scattered on the ground. On the other side of the corridor, Zhixiu's figure flashed and turned into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiluo chased after him and saw Zhixiu hiding in the kitchen wiping his tears.

Liu Zhiluo asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Zhixiu said: "I ...... I...... I walked carelessly, tripped and the plate fell off. Liu Zhiluo joked: "Look at you, you are so old, you are about to get married, and you are still careless, and you will inevitably be scolded by your mother-in-law in the future." ”

Liu Zhixiu seemed to be poked in the sad place, twitching silently, and big tears fell down.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiluo was a little panicked, and hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry!" Isn't it just a plate, and if you fall, you will fall. ”

Liu Zhixiu tried to control his emotions, but he couldn't stop his tears. She turned her head and choked up, "You don't care about me, go and accompany the guests." I, I, I'll be fine for a while. ”

Liu Zhiluo muttered in a low voice: "Girl, crying for a while, laughing for a while, it's always so inexplicable." ”

……

Liu Zhiluo had just finished reading, but unexpectedly, Huineng said with interest: "Brother Zhiluo, I seem to be ..... in this "University" you just read."

"Seems like what? Didn't you understand? Liu Zhi paused slightly, and then said, "It's no wonder that when I started listening to my husband, I also seemed to understand it. When he said this, he looked at Huineng, "How about waiting for Brother Fool to interpret it for you?" ”

Huineng smiled faintly and let out a noncommittal "oh".

Liu Zhiluo picked up the cup of fragrant hot tea on the coffee table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said it seriously as if a teacher was teaching a student: "In the sentence 'Ming Mingde' at the beginning, the first 'Ming' is a verb, showing the meaning of carrying forward, and the second 'Ming' is an adjective, which contains the meaning of noble and glorious. ”

……

Huineng listened quietly. In fact, as early as his childhood, in Li Xueru's school, he was already familiar with the grammatical characteristics taught by Mr. such as "verbs, adjectives, imaginary words, prepositions, part-of-speech discrimination, sentence composition and structure, subject-verb-object-definite complement, and clear separation of trunk branches and leaves." Out of politeness, Huineng listened intently.

In the end, Liu Zhiluo commented: "The first sentence is the purpose of the university, which is to promote noble virtues, to care for the people, and to achieve the highest level of goodness. ”

When Huineng heard this, he couldn't help but hit his hands and said excitedly: "Brother Zhiluo, you have explained so well!" ”

Liu Zhiluo looked at Huineng's expression and thought: This is a big article on governing the country and leveling the world! He didn't quite believe that Huineng could understand and understand "University".

Liu Zhiluo looked at Huineng and said, "Really? Wait for the foolish brother to read a few more words, and you can hear what it means. ”

"Hmm." Huineng nodded.

"Knowing and then there is determination, determination and then being quiet, being quiet and then being peaceful, being safe and then being able to worry, and then being able to get after thinking." Liu Zhiluo read a sentence casually, put down the book, and asked, "Brother Xian, do you understand?" ”

Huineng couldn't help but applaud: "The book is so well written!" From another point of view, this is talking about Buddhism and practice! ”

Liu Zhiluo heard Huineng say this, he really couldn't cry or laugh! Helplessly, he asked again: "Brother Xian, did you hear me right?" I am reading to you the "University" from the Confucian classic "Book of Rites", not the Buddhist scriptures narrated by Shakyamuni Buddha. ”

Huineng said: "Whether it is Buddha or Confucianism, they are all edifying people. Take the paragraph you just read, the so-called way of university is in Mingmingde, Mingmingde is to see the heart and enlightenment. How can it be Mingde? The method mentioned in the book is very correct, first of all, we must achieve 'stop', know the stop, and then have a decision. After the kung fu is cultivated at home, it will be able to be truly quiet, and after it is quiet, it can be peaceful, thoughtful, and thinking, and only through thinking can the door of wisdom be opened, and only then can it be clear and virtuous, that is, clear mind. These teachings are exactly the same as the process of practicing precepts, concentration, and wisdom in Buddhism. ”

Liu Zhiluo looked at Huineng in surprise, as if he didn't know him.

This time, it was Huineng's turn to be afraid that he wouldn't understand.

As a result, Huineng explained in a more popular way: "The precepts spoken of in Buddhism are like dense forests, with which the wind from outside cannot blow in. With this protective layer, our hearts are just like a quiet deep pool in the forest, always in a quiet state where the surface of the water does not have waves and the sediment at the bottom of the water is not overflowing, which is Ding. In this fixed state, not only the water quality is clear and transparent, the things in the water can be seen at a glance, and the water surface is as calm as a mirror, which can shine on the sky and the earth; The wind and clouds in the sky are changing, the birds in the air are low, and the wind and grass on the ground are all hidden. At the same time, it is clear that it is unmoving, and it will not be disturbed by the chaos of the outside world. This is the wisdom that comes from concentration. This kind of wisdom is not wisdom, not knowledge, but the most fundamental wisdom of man! ”

The autumn wind was bleak, and the night fog blew into the hall from the patio in the house, and the wind was cold and cold. When Liu Zhiluo heard Huineng say this, he shivered like a cold wind, and was stunned......

After a while, he came back to his senses, couldn't help but applaud again and again, and unconsciously applauded.

Huineng was a little embarrassed by him, and shouted, "Brother Zhiluo, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu Zhiluo said convincingly: "Brother Xian, what you said is so good! I'm convinced. ”

Huineng said humbly: "Brother Zhiluo, I won the award, I just felt it." ”

Liu Zhiluo picked up the book "Book of Rites" on the stage. University", said with emotion: "I have been reading "The Book of Rites" for so long. University", I didn't understand the way of university, how to be Mingde. Moreover, almost all Confucian scholars only literally understood these words as a kind of knowledge, a kind of great truth, and no one ever thought that it was actually a practical method of cultivating the mind! It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years! Please bow down to the foolish brother. Liu Zhiluo stepped forward very seriously and saluted Huineng.

Huineng hurriedly held Liu Zhiluo and said, "Brother Zhiluo, how can there be any reason for the eldest brother to give a gift to the younger brother?" Don't be so polite. ”

Liu Zhiluo shook his head and said seriously: "No, I am by no means polite. Although, if you are speaking from the perspective of meditation, the principle is the same. It seems that Buddhism is boundless, and it is indeed a golden key to unlock the great wisdom of life! ”

Huineng affirmed: "Brother Zhiluo, you are right! Buddhism is boundless, and it is indeed a golden key to unlock the great wisdom of life. ”

Liu Zhiluo said with admiration, "I didn't expect that you are so proficient in the teachings of Buddha nature. ”

Huineng said respectfully, "Where, I just listened to an old layman who has studied Buddhism for many years and Master Shi Hui say some Dharma, and know some terms and anecdotes. ”

Liu Zhiluo said, "My aunt often gave me lectures, but I still don't understand what is the use of studying Buddhism? ”

When Huineng heard this, he asked with interest, "Brother Zhiluo, your aunt studied Buddhism?" ”

"Yes. My aunt became a nun in the mountain stream temple not far from the village. ”

Huineng said casually: "Endless Zang, this Dharma name is good!" In Buddhism, virtue is infinite, including endless virtue. It symbolizes the vastness and boundlessness of true Buddha-nature. ”

"Oh, listening to what the virtuous brother said, this Dharma name is really elegant! When I have the chance, I will take you to my aunt to ask for Dharma teachings. Liu Zhiluo said happily.

Huineng said excitedly: "Okay! ”
