"Everyone, good knowledge, Lao Ne has said so much in one breath, if you have any questions or questions, you can raise them......" As soon as Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor finished speaking, he saw a young man with beautiful eyebrows and scholarly eyes raised his hand and said: "Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor, Xiaosheng has a question I want to ask." ”

Master Huineng raised his hand and said, "Please speak." ”

"Master Xie Liuzu Huineng!" After thanking the man, he asked, "Forgive Xiaosheng for being lonely and unheard, who is the master of the Vimala Sutra that the master said just now?" ”

Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch said: "The Vimala Sutra is a rich man in India, called Vimalaya, who has a family of thousands and a group of slaves and maids. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a rich man in the Buddhist country of India. Thank you very much for your answer. The scholar said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Then, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Master eloquently introduced Vimalaya -

Vimala is diligent in studying, pious in practice, able to live in the same state without living in the same place, facing the environment but not living in the environment, and attaining the achievement of holy fruits, and is called a bodhisattva, a representative of the great bodhisattvas. Straight-heartedness and mindfulness are true, witnessing the reality of equality; Seeing the source of the hearts of all sentient beings, it has sufficient constant sand afflictions and immeasurable merits. Therefore, it is convenient to educate, so that all sentient beings can get rid of their troubles and show the merits of the source of the mind. However, those who are exemplary and standard must be based on the Buddha who has been eliminated and manifested. If you have a broad mind and prove that it is true, you can make merit according to the merits of the Buddha.

Once, he was sick at home and alarmed the Buddha. The Buddha sent Manjushri and others to visit the sick.

The Buddha knew that Vimalaya was just a deception, so he sent Manjushri, who was known as the first in wisdom.

After Manjushri saw Vimalaya, the two bodhisattvas fought each other and repeatedly expounded on the Dharma, with profound teachings and witty remarks, so that the bodhisattvas and arhats who visited together were stunned. After a controversy, Manjushri revered Vimalaya even more, and people revered Vimalaya even more.

Vimala was born in the world of sampa from the land of Miaoxi, showing the appearance of laymen, aiding the teachings of the Buddha, and becoming a Dharmakaya master.

He was a wealthy merchant elder in the city, who was not only eloquent, compassionate and convenient, but also loved by the city's residents.

His wife was beautiful, her name was innocent, and she had a pair of children, the son was named Shansi Tongzi, and the female name was Moon Girl, all of whom had good roots in the world.

A family of four, entertaining themselves with the law on weekdays. When the boy was still in his infancy, he was able to ask questions and answers with the Buddha and his great disciples.

The Buddha once went to Bisha to leave the city, and the good thinking boy offered flowers and the Buddha, and the Buddha said the Dharma for him, and he immediately proved that there was no way to endure life.

When the moon girl was born, she did not cry, and she was able to speak about the cause of the world, and the light emanating from her body was better than the moon, like gold, shining in the home.

At the age of eight, she has grown into a beautiful and colorful virgin, which arouses the love and pursuit of the ministers, laymen, elders, brahmins, and wealthy nobles in the city.

The Moon Lady once used her eloquence to discuss the wonderful meaning of Buddhism with the Shravaka and the Bodhisattva, and was awarded by the Buddha. Therefore, the sutra describes Vimal monks as "living at home, not in the Three Realms; If you have a wife, you will always practice Brahmanism".

He pursued the bodhisattva path, in order to improve the sound of the two vehicles in cooperation with Manjushri and his master Shakyamuni Buddha, to use the power and convenience, and even to reveal the life, and the process of visiting the patients by the Buddha's disciples, the Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva highlighted the bodhisattva spirit of Vimala monks' compassion and wisdom.

He traveled to and from all walks of life, did business and talked about credit, and even went in and out of various places of sound and color, and lived with the people, all in order to promote the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. He taught sentient beings to see the Pure Land of the Soul and create a better world at the moment. He expounds on the incredible method of liberation, emphasizing that "afflictions are bodhi, and there is no separation from birth and death, and nirvana" is the only way to provide practitioners with a good medicine for healing.

After the Sixth Patriarch Huineng respectfully gave a brief introduction to Vimalaya, his kind gaze stopped among the beings who were eager to enlighten the Tao.

At this time, among the crowds, there was a person who looked like an official, and said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire are the most powerful empires in the world, and their reputation is far overseas, and most overseas people call Chinese Tang people. However, in recent years, the social life of the Tang Dynasty has undergone unprecedented changes, with various wars and turmoil, palace coups, and the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop......"

"It's obvious to all, it's well known." The gods couldn't help but interject.

"Please finish speaking." The man glared at the Shenhui, obviously, he was very reluctant to be interrupted, he didn't know that the descendant boy in front of him was the apprentice of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master he admired.

When the god saw this, he hurriedly apologized and said: "I was offended a lot just now, I sincerely hope that there are a lot of adults, and I don't care about ordinary people, and the little monk is not going to accompany him." ”

Seeing the sincerity in front of him, and calling himself a little monk, the man seemed to have realized a little, and hurriedly returned the salute: "There is no need to do this, the old man usually speaks, but he doesn't want anyone to interrupt, that's all." Please don't take it personally. ”

"It's rare to be elegant, please continue." God will reach out and gracefully make a "please" gesture.

The man smiled, "Okay." ”

The man said, "History is no longer peaceful, and the idyllic life of the past is difficult to find in the chaos of war." Although the ancient bright moon is still high in the sky, and the earth and mountains have changed, the Tang people's memories of the former shepherd boy blowing the flute in the twilight, the raccoon woman washing clothes next to the mountain stream, has long been replaced by the turbulent war. Especially the civil and military ministers of the imperial court, all of them live so nervously and so depressed...... Everyone wants a peaceful and prosperous world of harmony and stability. However, the open and secret strife made people's goodwill less and less, and the pressure on each minister to survive became greater and greater. In the face of pressure, the emperor, the minister of civil and military affairs ......"

After talking about the turbulent political situation in the current dynasty, the man raised a question that worried the country and the people: "So, where is the way out to solve this macro problem like saving the earth?" People of insight have turned their attention to Buddhism and to Zen culture. ”

When the man said this, he looked at the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng suspiciously, and said noncommittally: "Can it?" ”

"Du Si Zhang's question is good!" In fact, as soon as that person opened his mouth just now, Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor recognized him as Zhang Zhongchang, the capital of the cave.

Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch continued his topic, "To paraphrase the topic of Master Zhang just now, this is just like the earth saver proposed 'there is only one earth', can we apply it to say 'there is only one Datang', that is, to make every tiny period of our existence and every tiny time full of harmony and joy, which is equivalent to asking, is there a way to make the polluted river water clean again?" When Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor said this, his eyes like a torch glanced at everyone......

You look at me, and I look at you, and you don't know what to say......
