Zhu Decai recalled that indeed, he was riding a horse uphill and was galloping on the ancient post road, when he suddenly felt that the horse had lost its front hoof, and he rushed forward from the horse, and then ......

Zen Master Zhishan raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the mountain: "The poor monk and his apprentice went up the mountain to pick straw mushrooms and came back, and they happened to pass by there. Seeing that you fell off your horse and were injured and unconscious, I carried you to Tianlu Temple. ”

Zhu Decai felt a faint pain in his head, reached out and touched the top of his head, knowing that he had been bandaged with cloth, and asked, "My head?"

Zen Master Zhishan pointed to his head and said, "Your head touched the rock, and it bled and stained your clothes red. Fortunately, there are mountain herbs not far from the roadside to stop bleeding, I went to pick them and chew them with my mouth, apply them to the wound for you, and then tear off the monk's robe and tear it into strips, and bandage it for you to stop the bleeding. Now that you're able to wake up, it seems like there's nothing wrong with you. ”

"Ah, I see." Zhu Decai's heart swelled with a wave of heat, and he gratefully, "Today I am in trouble, if it weren't for the master's rescue, maybe I would have been a corpse in the mountains and wilderness and become a delicacy for tigers and wolves." ”

Zen Master Zhishan clasped his hands together: "Amitabha! There is a way that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. The poor monk did what I was supposed to do today. ”

Zhu De Cai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thought of something again, and asked, "Master! What about the red-maned horse I rode? ”

Zen Master Zhishan pointed to the outside: "The horse you rode was not seriously injured, but only bruised some skin." My apprentice led him to the stable at the back of the temple and was feeding him fodder. ”

Zhu Decai remembered that he just removed the soybeans on that section of Xiangliuping, and he had already ridden a horse through that dangerous section, so why did he lose his horse and fall on that side and get injured?

Seeing Zhu Decai's idiotic demeanor, Master Zhishan deduced that he had something on his mind and asked, "Do you have a problem that you can't figure out?"

Zhu Decai nodded: "Hmm." ”

Zen Master Zhishan inquired: "Can't you figure out why you fell off the horse on the ancient post road?" ”

Seeing that the other party had insight into his own thoughts, Zhu Decai had no choice but to admit: "Yes." ”

Zen Master Zhishan recalled: "This morning, several horses from a horse team fell one after another on the side of Xiangliuping, and it happened that I happened to be passing by at that time, and after the injured people were rescued by other mountain people passing by, I carefully observed the scene and analyzed the main cause of the accident. ”

Zhu Decai asked, "What did you analyze the reason?"

Zen Master Zhishan: "The reason why those horsemen and horses were injured on the ancient post road in Xiangliuping was that when the horse team was running up the mountain, the iron palm nailed to the horse's hooves stepped on the soybeans on the road, which caused the horses to slip uncontrollably and fall on all four hooves. ”

Zhu Decai asked tentatively: "Master, wasn't the accident caused by a slippery road after the rain?"

"No, I don't think it's easy." Zen Master Zhishan's eyes like a deep pool flashed with a cold light, and his tone was very affirmative, "This is deliberately framed by someone." ”

Zhu Decai's heart suddenly shook, a cold air flooded his heart, a flash of lightning flashed in his head, and he found a reason for the explanation: "My personal guess is that maybe those soybeans leaked out of the broken pocket!"

"No, by no means." Zen Master Zhishan waved his hand and explained the reason for his analysis, "If the soybeans leak out of the pocket, according to common sense, there should only be a long bean mark on the road that follows the horse, and the road will not be scattered in a large area, and it will be so wide and even." Obviously, there is more human factor in it, and someone deliberately sprinkled soybeans on the section of Xiangping, and then spread them evenly. ”

"Ahh Zhu Decai was shocked, the master of Tianlu Temple was indeed sharp-eyed, and he could see everything in the depths from the surface, but he pretended to ask casually, "Master, why do you think that person would scatter soybeans on the road?"

Zen Master Zhishan stretched out two fingers and shook them, "I think there may be two reasons. ”

Zhu Decai: "What about the first point?"

Master Zhishan: "The first point is that the perpetrator has a feud with the people of the horse team, and deliberately set up a situation to frame the people of the horse team. ”

Zhu Decai: "What about the second point?"

Zen Master Zhishan: "The second point is that it may also be a competition in the business field, which leads to tragedy in order to defeat opponents. ”

Zen Master Zhishan analyzed it meticulously and impeccably, and Zhu Decai couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while: "This ...... This ......"

Zen Master Zhishan: "Donor, the reason why you fell off your horse just now was because the horse you were riding also slipped when you stepped on a soybean on the mountain road. ”

Zhu Decai put forward his own reasons for denial: "No. When I passed by the section of the road in Xiangliuping, I looked down and saw that the section of the road had been cleaned. ”

Zen Master Zhishan nodded: "The section of Xiangliuping was cleaned earlier by the poor monk with his apprentice. ”

Zhu Decai: "Since you have cleaned the section of the road, master, how can the red-maned horse step on the soybeans again and be hit?"

Zen Master Zhishan gently patted his chest with his hand, and blamed himself: "Oh, this can only be blamed on my carelessness and inconsiderate consideration. ”

Zhu Decai felt inexplicable: "Master, how can you blame yourself for being careless?"

"This is called Baimi and there is also a sulfur," Zen Master Zhishan sighed, "The poor monk did clean the soybeans on the section of the Xiangliuping Road, but I didn't expect that there was a heavy rain before I cleaned it, and the heavy rain washed those soybeans to the low-lying areas of the road and accumulated, and your horse slipped by stepping on the soybeans in the low-lying areas." ”

Zhu Decai gasped, this master's observation is really subtle, and the analysis is quite reasonable, he really couldn't imagine that the red-maned horse he was riding would step on soybeans again and let himself fall off the horse and be injured.

Zen Master Zhishan showed a look of disdain on his face: "'Compassion is the heart, all beings are equal', this is the basic doctrine of our Buddhism. 'Do not do all evil, and do all good', this is the principle of Buddhism, and it is also the basic way of human beings. Deliberately sprinkling soybeans on the road, this act of hurting nature and reason, is the act of a despicable villain who has lost his conscience. I don't understand, what the man wants?"

The words of Master Zhishan made Zhu Decai's mind stir up a flood of thousands of acres: for the sake of small profits in business, he actually lost his mind, and went to Xiangliuping in the middle of the night to sprinkle soybeans to hit his opponent, and finally ended up with a harmful ending and harmful to himself. If he hadn't met this compassionate monk today, he might have died in Huangquan and died on the barren mountains and mountains. Zen Master Zhishan, who rescued himself from danger, blamed himself for failing to completely clean the soybeans on the mountain road, and he was the perpetrator of this series of accidents......

Zen Master Zhishan continued, "There are clouds in "Zhou Yi": the house of goodness, there must be afterglow; If you don't accumulate goodness, there will be aftermath. ”

A wicked man is his own hell! What is happening today is a testament to these ancient teachings. Could this retribution be providence? Thinking of this, Zhu Decai was extremely ashamed, and the roots of his ears were hot for a while, and he was so hot that his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.

Seeing Zhu Decai's face turn like this, Zen Master Zhishan felt strange and touched his face with his hand: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Decai gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and said to Zen Master Zhishan: "Master, speaking of the truth really makes me ashamed. He lowered his head.

Master Zhishan was puzzled: "How can you say such a thing for no reason?"

Zhu Decai patted his head with his hand in remorse: "Alas, I am really dizzy this time, and I am self-inflicted!"

Divine Master Zhishan: "Donor, I still don't understand what you are saying. ”

Zhu Decai finally made up his mind and said, "Master, so far, I'm not afraid to confess to you that those soybeans in the Xiangliuping section were actually ...... that I sowed in the middle of the night last night."

Master Zhishan was surprised: "What did you do? Wouldn't it?"

"I really did it. The competition in the business field is often ruthless and unjust. At first, I thought that I was using this method to pin them up, but I didn't expect that it would cause such serious consequences. So, Zhu Decai opened up the conversation and told Master Zhishan everything before and after. After that, he exhaled a long breath, as if he had exhaled all the depressed qi in his heart, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

After hearing this, Zen Master Zhishan realized: "Things may not necessarily go according to the path you predetermined to envision. You think you're smart, but you have an unexpected ending. People often say, 'people are doing, the sky is watching', and there are gods in the head. The things of the world are often reciprocated. To build a world for others, we must be based on compassion and help others, and we must not harm others and benefit ourselves, otherwise we will eventually become harmful to others and to ourselves. ”

Zhu Decai: "Master, you are right. I knew I was wrong. ”

Amitabha! Donor, it takes great courage for you to take the initiative to confess the truth to the poor monks in person," Zen Master Zhishan said earnestly, "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and being good is great." Young man, your future is still great. ”

Zen Master Zhishan's words were like sharp needles poking at Zhu Decai's heart, causing him to become sober again when he felt pain, his teeth clenched his lips, and after a while, he said with a red face: "Master, you are right. ”

"Scattering soybeans on the road can make passing horses slip and fall, so as to defeat competitors in business, it seems that your mind is quite smart," the words of Master Zhishan contain a warning element, "Planting is the cause and reaping the effect, everything is done with the mind." It must be known that if a person's wisdom is used on the right path, he can start a family and go wider and wider. However, if it is used in crooked ways, it will harm others and oneself, and it will fall deeper and deeper. What happened to you today is proof of that. ”

"The words of the master, every word, are like an initiation, awakening my wisdom and enlightening my foolishness."

Zhu Decai said this from the bottom of his heart at this moment, because today, he met this master of Tianlu Temple on the mountain, which benefited him a lot: "Master, you are really meritorious. ”

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! How can a poor monk be virtuous?" Zen Master Zhishan waved his hand one after another, and said sincerely, "Back then, the sixth ancestor Hui Neng took refuge in Tianlu Mountain to practice meditation, was compassionate, went up the mountain to collect medicine, healed the people's diseases, spread the epiphany Zen method, and benefited the township, which is the merit. Zen Master Zhishan showed an excited look on his face, "As a disciple of Zen, the poor monk is really fortunate to be able to study Buddhism and practice meditation in Tianlu Mountain, the holy land where the patriarch has left footprints, and I feel extremely proud and proud." ”

Zhu Decai made a big gift with both hands and fists: "I am fortunate to meet the master today, this is the great luck of my life, and it is really better than studying for ten years." ”

Zen Master Zhishan: "The donor, you have a good reputation, and the poor monk really doesn't dare to be it." ”

"I speak from the heart," Zhu Decai's face was swept away, and he was filled with emotion, "Today, when I was physically injured, Master You, you gave me a physical stop to stop the bleeding and healed my wounds: and also washed and healed my soul when I was stupid, so that I truly understood the fundamental way of being a human being. ”

Divine Master Zhishan: "This is the fate of the poor monk and the benefactor in the world. I hope that the donor will be able to attain Bodhi in the future. Of course, the road of life is long, and you still have to rely on your own cultivation in the future. ”

Zhu Decai nodded: "Today I have a complete understanding." ”
