West Lake, also known as Qiantang Lake.

Because of the beautiful scenery.

Throughout the ages, many literati and writers have come to Lin'an, and most of them will come here.

"If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate." Looking at the lake in front of him, Li Muxuan, who was walking on the embankment, couldn't help but think of the articles he had memorized in the early years.

In his previous life, although the transportation was convenient, he had no time to go out because he wanted to make money to live.

Now that I am immersed in the scene and have a glimpse of the West Lake, the charm is indeed very different from watching photos and videos on the Internet, which is probably the difference between fantasy and practice.

Some feelings.

You can never comprehend it just by thinking about it.

In the middle of my mind.

Li Muxuan followed the master, crossed the Feilai Peak along the path, and came to a temple where incense was flourishing.

"Lingyin Ancient Temple." Looking at the four big characters on the plaque, Li Muxuan thought in his heart: "It is said that this Lingyin Temple is inextricably linked with Zen Master Daoji. ”

Although I don't know about Buddhism, the other party is a great sect after all, so it is impossible that I haven't heard of it completely.

Not to mention this Daoji Zen master

The names in the world are about to catch up with the Buddha and Guanyin.

That sentence of wine and meat has passed through the intestines, the Buddha has left a mark in the hearts of countless people, and at the same time, in the comics, Dao Ji is also a senior power who became an immortal and a Buddha.

And since that's it.

I have to mention several major factions within Buddhism.

For example, there are divisions of Taoism and Quanzhen, and there are also Zen Buddhism, Vinaya Buddhism, Tantra, Huayan Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Three Treatise Sects, Faxiang Sects, and Tiantai Sects.

It is difficult to compare which is better and which is inferior.

But the most famous of them all is Zen Buddhism.

Whether it is the well-known Shaolin or the Lingyin in front of them, they all belong to Zen Buddhism.

The characteristic of Zen Buddhism is that they advocate that the Buddha nature is inherent, that enlightenment is not pretended, that they abandon the meaning of words, go straight to the source of the heart, and believe that all wisdom is born from its own nature.

In this regard, Li Muxuan has nothing to say.

He didn't understand the Dharma.

It's just that unlike the one-sided scolding of Buddhism on the Internet, he treats Buddhism as a science.

As for Buddhism, hehe, it is undeniable that there have been many good monks among them, but to be honest, there is a lot of garbage, which is inseparable from the concept of Buddhism.

Too many of their things are mere formalities, which makes it easy for many treacherous people to take advantage of the sect to enrich themselves.

Some of these fake monks will only use the great truth to confuse the world, so that they can donate incense to the temple for the 'next life', even if they suffer themselves, they cannot suffer the Buddha.

For this kind of behavior.

Li Muxuan is naturally unaccustomed to it.

In his opinion.

In fact, there is no Buddha?

The most important thing is to live your life well, and if you don't do anything well in this life, don't think about the things in the next life.

Instead of donating incense to the temple, it is better to donate the money to those in need, or to honor your parents, or even if you have a good meal, it is better than donating money.

Of course, it's not bad for money.

Thinking about it.

A childish child's voice sounded.

"Two masters, what are you doing here?"

Li Muxuan looked down.

I saw a bald-headed little novice dressed in a robe, saluting himself with his hands folded.

"Please also ask the little master to work hard, tell you to host, just say that the Trinity Gate Zuo Ruotong is here to find old friends." Zuo Ruotong spoke, his tone was natural, and he didn't look domineering.

And so it is.

When you reach a very high level.

In the face of ordinary people, few will shake their faces as soon as they come up, saying who I am.

It's not a grace or a demeanor.

It's not necessary.

At this time, hearing that the two people in front of him were going to meet the host, Xiao Shami naturally did not dare to slack off.

"Wait a minute, both of you."

With that, he immediately turned around and ran back to report.

About a moment passed.

I saw a middle-aged monk with a strong body and a fleshy face walking out quickly.

"The poor monk's law is not, and the new supervisor of Lingyin Temple." But he didn't sign up for the number first, and then said: "I don't know if the head of the left door is visiting, there is a lot of slackness, please come inside." ”

"You're welcome."

Zuo Ruotong smiled faintly.

Immediately, Li Muxuan followed his master and entered the temple together under the leadership of the Zen master.

The first thing that catches your eye is the Heavenly King Hall, the hall has two doors before and after, the Buddha shrine facing the mountain gate is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha statue, and the side facing away from the mountain gate is dedicated to the protector god Veda.

On both sides of Veda are four huge statues of heavenly kings, the form is mighty, and the treasure is solemn.

According to Li Muxuan's visual inspection.

Each statue here is almost seven or eight meters tall.

"It's still a Buddhist sect with a lot of money."

Looking at the splendid interior, Li Muxuan couldn't help but think of the appearance of his own Trinity Gate.

Although from the outside, the building is only a little simpler than here, but the gap in the hall is very different, and the two sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

Or even something unpleasant.

Compared with Lingyin Temple, there is no difference between the three doors and the four walls of the family, and it is very poor and sour.

But there's a reason for that.

Buddhism believes that monks are the teachers of the Three Realms, so they should have beautiful clothes, a dignified image, and a majestic appearance.

The Taoist priests are not so particular, basically just those few sets of clothes, even when the altar is opened, they are very plain to wear, not like the Buddhist gate.

In the middle of my mind.

Li Muxuan first passed through the Tianwang Palace, then passed the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and finally came to a vegetable garden.

I saw two figures, an old man and a young man, swinging a hoe and ploughing.

"Presiding, the left door chief is here."

"Okay, got it."

Hearing this, the thin old man in the garden nodded, but he did not stop swinging his hoe.

Seeing this, Li Muxuan couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Master."

"Are they practicing?"

Zuo Ruotong heard the disciple's words and replied, "Well, in the words of Zen Buddhism, it is called Nong Chan. ”

"Integrate Zen in agriculture, enlighten the Tao with agriculture, do not do a day, do not eat a day, practice to the depths, walk, live, sit and lie down can be quiet in nature, the mind is free of distractions, and is not disturbed by external objects."

"I see."

Li Muxuan nodded.

This is indeed a good way to hone one's mind.

I can also cultivate while supporting myself, but unfortunately, it is useless for myself.

Just thinking about it.

The old monk's side has called it a day.

"Empty and rest."

"Okay."

The monk who was called to untie the void put down his hoe and looked at Li Muxuan's master and apprentice.

At the same time, Li Muxuan was also looking at this monk called Jiekong, the other party looked about the same age as himself, but the muscles on his body were very strong.

Especially the two big eyes and the thick eyebrows, they look particularly bright.

Of course, the most important thing is his Dharma name.

"Unevelation?"

"It can't be one of the ten guys in the future, right?"

Li Muxuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

If he's not mistaken.

Master Jiekong should have been a warrior monk of Shaolin when he was young, how could he come to Lingyin Temple?

Right now.

Master's voice rang out.

"Monk Huiming."

"Is this your new disciple?"

"It's not."

The old monk Huiming shook his head in denial, and then said, "You also know that the old man is from Shaolin. ”

"Jiekong is my junior disciple's apprentice, because he is a little impatient in his heart and has a lot of friction with his peers, so he was thrown here to learn Zen Gong with me, and ask for a clear thought."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Muxuan with a kind look on his face.

"This must be your disciple, right?"

"I can't talk about it."

Zuo Ruotong smiled, "It's just that you have a little talent in meditation, and you can be quiet in nature when you just enter the Tao, and even look at your own thoughts with your own heart." ”

"I sometimes don't know how to teach him this, alas..."

Huiming: "......"
