Li Shi saw that Liang Jinlian had heard clearly, and then went further: Ah Lian, since you know that you should have no place to live, that is, the reality of Bodhi, that is, the realm of the Dharmakaya Buddha, but don't look for this reality, look for this Dharmakaya Buddha, and look for it, it is not.

Reality has no appearance, and there is no reason to find it. Let go, and it's not a thought. Seeking the heart together becomes delusional. We should know that this realm of reality is not unique to the Buddhas, and we are also self-sufficient. So what? Buddhas and sentient beings are inherently the same.

As long as everyone is silent at the moment and does not have a single thought, then if they do not move, all things are the same, that is, the reality has no abiding sincerity.

If a thought moves slightly, it is dwelling. To dwell is not reality. Therefore, "one thought is not born and is fully embodied, and the six roots are covered by clouds." "Those who are unable to practice correspondingly, because they have a dwelling, they have something to seek; If you have a place to live and a demand, you are bound to yourself, how can you see your own nature?

To understand the truth that there should be no place to live and give birth to the mind, and to understand the practical use of these two sutras, we must first establish their bodies, and then they can be used. Let go of all the desires and stays. Because everything is put down, the delusion rests on its own. If you are delusional, you will not have the sincerity to live, and you will naturally appear. However, people know that it is good to let go, but they can't let go, why? Gaiwu people have too deep karmic knowledge, and it is not easy to let go. Because it is not easy to let go, it is necessary to start from the heart of subduing it. As everyone knows, if there is no dwelling, it is subdued.

If you seek to surrender again, you will have a head on your head. If you can dwell without dwelling, you will attain the essence of reality. According to the ontology of reality, to live without dwelling, and to be born without birth, that is, to use according to the body.

The difference between a Buddha and sentient beings is only between consciousness and non-awareness, compassion and non-compassion. Jue is separated from each other, everything does not live, so the name is called Buddha; If you don't feel it, you will see the environment and give birth to the heart, and everything will live, hence the name of sentient beings.

Compassion is equal and all things are one, that is, the name is Buddha; If you are not compassionate, you will be greedy, hateful, ignorant, and slow, and you will be full of troubles, and you will be called sentient beings. Consciousness and non-awareness are the difference between the body; Mercy and non-compassion are the difference between use. The body is the same, all are one heart. If you can turn disgust into kindness, you are a Buddha's mind. Therefore, the six ancestors said: "One thought is straight, and all beings are Buddhas."

……

In the end, Li summed up that the Buddha has three bodies, and we should know that we also have three bodies, the so-called Dharma body, retribution body, and incarnation. When it does not dwell, the true heart of emptiness and gnosis fills the void, that is, the Dharmakaya. When the heart is born, the good heart is repaid for good, and the disgusting heart is repaid for evil, and the heart at this time is the retribution. When you think about it, all kinds of changes ...... At this time, the mind is the incarnation. When sentient beings understand this, they must always work the mindfulness of non-dwelling beings. The mind is like vanity, and there is no measure of emptiness; Do everything without seeing what is in it. The so-called fate does not change, does not change with fate, does not change is not where to live, and with fate is to give birth to its heart.

"Can you tell us about your understanding?" After Li finished speaking, he asked Liang Jinlian questions like a teacher would for a student.

"Yes, auntie. If you say something wrong, please correct your aunt. After clearing her throat, Liang Jinlian explained her understanding of "mind" and "non-appearance", and then creatively made an appropriate analogy of the argument of "mind" and "non-appearance" in the "Diamond Sutra":

Man's own mind is inherently the "unformed" wisdom of Prajna, which is like the sun and the moon, always quiet and bright, and ignorance and evil are like clouds covering the sun and the moon. When the clouds dissipate, i.e., the ignorance and wrong views in oneself are eliminated, the wisdom of Prajna is revealed. And the aunt just mentioned that the fat man Cui Zhengkui and Mazi Huo Tianqiang, who beat Brother Aneng and the old beggar, those two people are so hateful and ugly, their hateful ugliness is that they are covered by floating clouds "Xin", that is: floating clouds cover the sun and the moon. When they feel that their behavior is shameful, they abandon their shame and promote goodness, that is, they get rid of their ignorance and wrong views, and the wisdom of Prajna is revealed.

After Liang Jinlian gave out her views on "Xinnature" and "Phaselessness", she blinked, looked at Li, and waited for her correction.

This time, it was Li Shi's turn to look at Liang Jinlian apologetically, and said embarrassedly: "Ah Lian, I'm very sorry, I don't understand it very well, I only know that it is from the scriptures in the "Diamond Sutra". Even though I used so many nouns, I couldn't explain this intuitive nature, because it's very difficult to explain it through nouns. Not to mention that I am not enlightened, even those who have attained this state of enlightenment are difficult to explain in terms of name. Because through the name, we can only realize similar concepts, and it is by no means the true and ultimate righteousness. Therefore, this kind of realm can only be understood, not spoken. But when it comes to this plot in the book, I don't say a few words, I feel uncomfortable, and I always feel that I can't say anything more. I had to say so many nouns, as if a blind person was describing to the world how peachy and green the world was, and it made people laugh......"

After Liang Jinlian quietly listened to Li's lecture on the scriptures, suddenly, as if she remembered something, stroked the hair hanging down on her forehead, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, Brother Aneng is so old, he is handsome, kind-hearted, and he has a ...... outside" Liang Jinlian originally wanted to test whether Hui Neng liked his girl, but she thought about it, in case she said from Li's mouth that there was a girl who liked him, the little hope in her heart would be shattered. So she swallowed back the words that had come to her lips.

Li Shi saw that Liang Jinlian was spitting and spitting, and he wanted to stop talking, so he said: "Ah Lian, you can ask whatever you want, as long as I know everything to tell you." ”

"No, thank you, auntie." Liang Jinlian lowered her head and said in disguise.

Li is a person who has come over, how can the girl not know what is going on? Liang Jinlian's thoughts, of course she could feel it, "Then let's talk about Neng'er and that girl." ”

It's really that pot doesn't open and that pot can't be mentioned.

What Liang Jinlian didn't want to hear the last thing finally came out of Li's mouth, and she only felt a "boom" in her head, as if the end of the world was coming. Fortunately, there was no light in the bedroom, so her desperate expression would not be seen by the Li family.

To be honest, since Huineng came to the house behind her father's back, through a period of understanding and contact, she found that she had slowly fallen in love with him. Not only did she like his appearance, but she was also fascinated by his extraordinary intelligence and the charm of a mature man, as well as his noble temperament, and even dreamed of him. But he didn't have the courage to confess to him in person, for fear that his heart already belonged, and once he said it, he was afraid of losing him.

At this time, the power generated by her innocent and fiery love from the heart is so great and irresistible......

Liang Jinlian decided not to speak, and let fate decide, and let the Li family decide.

Liang Jinlian waited, and after a long time, what she was afraid to hear did not come out of Li's mouth.

Li Shi rubbed his cloudy eyes, and recalled: "This is from the time when I and Neng'er went to Guangzhou to seek refuge with Master Wen, I fell ill in the inn, and was later carried by Uncle Lei and Lei Fei to Baiyunshan Village outside Guangzhou with a small donkey......"

Liang Jinlian couldn't bear to interrupt Li's interest, so she had to say, "That's ...... Aunt...... You, speak slowly. ”

So, Lee's chatterbox was opened again-

When Neng'er was nine years old, one day, he received a letter from Neng'er's father's classmate Nanhai County Governor of Guangzhou, Lord Shi Wenfei, inviting our mother and son to go to Guangzhou and live with his family.

So, I sold my land, carried my bags, and my mother and son traveled day and night, eating and sleeping in the open, all the way to Guangzhou.

Who knew that when he arrived at the Yamen in Guangzhou, he heard the yacha say, "Lord Wenfei died of illness as early as two months ago because he was from the north and did not adapt to the climate of our Lingnan. ”

Before I could finish speaking, my legs went limp, and I collapsed to the ground...... Neng'er hurriedly walked up and helped me up.

Seeing this, he said that Lord Wen was not thin on him when he was in power, and since Lord Wen's relatives and friends were in trouble, they should help each other, so the Yacha found Lang Zhong.

After taking the medicine, the yamen sent me back to the small inn where I was boarding, and then returned to the yamen on an errand.

Neng'er boiled Chinese herbs in a small inn and served day and night, a nine-year-old child, it was really difficult for him.

Perhaps, it was Neng'er's sincerity and filial piety that dragged me back after wandering in front of the ghost gate for three days and three nights.

However, after half a month, he had no money to see a doctor and take medicine, so he spent all the money to sell his land at home and prepare to settle down in Guangzhou.

Neng'er has heard his father tell the story of an ancient righteous girl who sold herself to bury her father since she was a child, and at this time, the idea of selling herself to save her mother was born.

So, he went to the market and planted a straw on his head as a symbol of selling himself! Sell yourself to save your mother!

When the crowd learned how our mother and son came to Guangzhou from Xinzhou to join Lord Wenfei, and learned that Master Wen had died, his mother unfortunately fell ill, had no money for treatment, his life was dying, and he was forced to helpless, and the son had to sell himself to save his mother, they were very sympathetic and pitiful to our mother and son, and they helped each other.

But Neng'er waved her hands again and again and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, sisters, aunts, and uncles. However, I want to sell myself to save my mother, not begging! I cannot accept your alms. My father said that starvation is a small matter, but a loss of festival is a big thing......"

An old man said while helping Neng'er collect the money that people gave him: "Child, look, is this money enough for your mother to catch medicine?" Maybe you won't have to sell yourself. ”

However, this old man helped Xiao Hui count it, and the money was only equivalent to one tael of silver, which was only one-tenth of the ten taels of medicine.

At this time, I saw Boss Huang of Baiyun Pawnshop coming over with a folding fan, looked at the grass mark inserted on Neng'er's head, and said: "Little guy, my Baiyun Pawnshop has just opened a branch, and I need a miscellaneous guy, can you do it?" ”

Neng'er said, "Yes! I can make tea and serve rice, fetch water and sweep the floor, make beds and fold quilts. ”

Boss Huang nodded and said, "How many taels of silver do you cost?" ”

Neng'er said; "Ten taels."

"What? Ten taels? Are you a robbery? You know, a well-framed foal is only worth more than a tael of silver! ”

The old man who helped Xiao Huineng before said: "But he is a person, how can he be compared with an animal!" ”

Boss Huang didn't care: "In these years, a good horse is very rare, but there are two-legged people!" Little guy, is it okay to have eight taels of silver? Otherwise, I'll be gone! ”

Neng Er was embarrassed and said, "Boss, I don't know if I'm worth ten taels of silver." However, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said that my mother's illness could not be cured without ten taels of silver, so ......"

"Little guy, do you know that if you talk about black hands, except for those who rob the road, they are those who sell medicine, and they don't pay for their lives. Therefore, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy is in favor of you. ”

"However, I know that I can't help it! If you are sick, you always have to take medicine. Boss, is this okay, if you think ten taels of silver is too much, these kind-hearted uncles and aunts around you have already scraped together a tael of silver for me just now, and you can give my mother the remaining nine taels of medicine money, okay? ”

Boss Huang hesitated and said, "What...... Well, I also see that you are a filial child, so I ...... However, you can think that once you sell yourself, you will be a slave for the rest of your life. ”

Neng'er nodded and whispered, "As long as I can cure my mother's illness, I am willing." ”

"Okay, you go with me to find a Chinese man and sign a deed of sale."

"Aneng! Wait! Neng'er was just about to follow Boss Huang out, when he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.

Neng'er turned her head in response and saw that it was Lei Fei, the boy who delivered firewood to the inn, and dragged a man through the crack.

Lei Fei pulled the adult in front of Neng'er and said, "Daddy, this is the little Huineng I told you. It was his help that the innkeeper continued to ask for our firewood. ”

Uncle Lei looked at the straw mark on Xiao Huineng's head, and said in surprise: "Child, it turns out that you really want to sell yourself?" ”

Neng'er nodded and said softly: "My aunt's illness is getting worse and worse, and the money we brought has been spent, so ......"

Boss Huang interjected: "We have already negotiated his worth, and he is my person." ”

Uncle Lei ignored him and continued to say to Neng'er: "Child, have you thought about it? After you sell yourself into slavery, even if you have the money to get medicine, who will serve your mother? You lost your father at an early age, and you have been dependent on your mother since you were a child, and you have never left. If all of a sudden, the heavens are separated, and the flesh and blood are separated, can your mother withstand this blow? Maybe ......"

Neng'er was stunned, frightened, and instantly drenched in cold sweat. He cried loudly with a "wow", plopped down in front of Uncle Lei, hugged his legs, choked up and said, "If I don't sell myself, I won't have the money to ask my mother for medical treatment; If she is really a slave, there is no one to take care of her seriously ill mother...... Uncle Lei, please, show me the way. ”

Seeing Neng'er's grief-stricken appearance, Uncle Lei couldn't help but cry. He pulled up Xiao Huineng and said, "Child, your sincere filial piety alone is enough to move heaven and earth and influence ghosts and gods. Look, aren't there so many people you don't know who have reached out to you? So, there will be a way. ”

Uncle Lei clasped his hands into fists and said to Boss Huang: "This child is from Xinzhou, he lost his father at a young age, and his life experience is extremely unfortunate. However, he has a very kind heart, and when he is in trouble, he can't forget to help others as much as he can. So, I want to take him away and try to help him get through it. ”

Boss Huang glared and said, "What's the matter with you?" How can you rob me of my business! ”

"I'm not stealing your business. First, I am a country man who has no overnight food, so how can I afford to buy a population? Second, even if I can afford it, I won't do this unconscionable thing. ”

Uncle Lei also patiently enlightened Neng'er and said, "Child, don't worry, you can't delay your mother's treatment." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy said that it takes a lot of silver to cure your mother's illness. However, it doesn't mean that you need to come up with so much money at once! Medicine, to take one at a time. So, the money people give you is enough for medicine for a while. You two will move from the inn to our village first, settle down temporarily, and then we will slowly figure out a way. Besides, your mother was in a hurry to get sick because she suddenly failed to rely on relatives and friends, and she had no relatives and no place in Guangzhou. Once your life is stabilized, I believe your mother's illness will slowly get better. ”

Listening to Uncle Lei say this, it was like seeing the light in the dark night, and seeing hope in despair.

Later, Uncle Lei and Lei Fei followed Neng'er to the inn, helped me onto the little donkey, and carried me to Baiyun Mountain Village outside Guangzhou.

Uncle Lei brought our mother and son home, and Aunt Lei picked up the room that was vacant after her eldest daughter got married a few years ago, and gave me a place to live, and Neng'er lived in the same room with Lei Fei.
