Hua Lanting nodded thoughtfully: "Then may I ask Elder Yu, the so-called Dao heart is difficult, in your opinion, what is the Dao and what is the heart?"

Chen Lu'an coughed dryly and said leisurely: "Well, when you cultivate to the void and land, you will be able to become enlightened." ”

Hua Lanting was inexplicable, and he chased after him and asked, "Dare to ask when the void can land?"

Chen Lu'an cleared his throat again and replied in a matter-of-fact manner: "Wait until you become enlightened." ”

Hua Lan Ting Muran: "This is too mysterious." ”

Chen Lu'an snorted twice: "This is a Zen machine, it has a deep meaning, it depends on your understanding." ”

"Why does Zen Buddhism often ask chickens and dogs, referring to the east and west? The so-called question is indefinite, and there is no definite answer. The questioner has different roots, and the way of answering is also different, which is called teaching according to aptitude. ”

"Whether and when you can become enlightened is fundamentally unpredictable. For an unknowable question, the best way to answer an unknowable question is to start with the end and talk about the end with the end. ”

"Even if it's like me, I don't dare to say anything. Daozu has a saying: Tao is Tao, very Tao. It means that the Tao that can be said is not the Tao in the true sense. The Tao that people usually think and understand is only a small part of the Tao. ”

"And the so-called knowers do not speak, and those who speak do not know. The strong name is said, just for expression, and has to give a name to communicate. I have not attained enlightenment, so when you ask me, I can only barely say it, and you have to listen to it reluctantly. ”

Hua Lanting seemed to feel something, but that feeling was as ungraspable as slush claws and drizzling plum blossoms, so he simply put it down for the time being, and asked, "What is the heart?"

Chen Lu'an raised his finger to the sky, and a skylight suddenly opened in the dark space, revealing a vast sky, with clear moonlight and starlight sprinkled down, and white clouds floating, mountain peaks, forests, streams, and animals are clearly visible, and the sound of frogs comes from time to time.

"Behold the cloud as my heart. This heart does not move, it moves randomly. ”

"The clouds don't seem to move, but if you wait a little longer, it makes a big difference. People can't say whether the cloud is good or bad at this moment, and they shouldn't expect it to become. As a result, there is generally no dissatisfaction with it. ”

"If you think the clouds are at ease, your heart is at ease. But the clouds are rolling up, just like the ups and downs of life. The cloud is actually at ease. However, people are not at ease. ”

Hua Lanting closed his eyes, thought for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and continued to ask: "The predecessors mentioned Zen Buddhism before, and they must also have an understanding of Buddhism, what I want to ask is, what are the similarities and differences between Taoism and Buddhism, which is higher and which is lower?"

Chen Lu'an laughed: "The kid is really smart. Yes, the old man was a Confucian student earlier, then studied Buddhism, and then had the honor to worship the Taoist, is one of the few people in the same door, so if you have a little experience, it is better to share one or two with you. ”

"From the standpoint of my Daomen, the Dao in a broad sense can be said to include all of them, the Dao includes both tangible and intangible, including time, space, low dimensions, high dimensions, as well as the Black Dao, the White Dao, the Buddhist Dao, the Confucian Dao, the Demon Dao, etc., including all ideologies and ideologies. ”

However, as I said earlier, the Tao is just a name. At a higher level and realm, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are all the same, just like for people who are close to the ideal state, they are called true people, supreme people, saints, sages, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas, but the names are different. ”

"People in different fields, when they advance to a certain level, are actually almost the same. ”

"The so-called great masters, Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and ancient sages are all people who can directly connect with the universe and truth in the clouds. I don't dare to speculate on what it is, but from the known classics, they represent the ultimate state that can be pursued as a living individual-

Totally, omnisciently, omnipotently, and forgetful and forgetful, yet warm, serene, joyful, and at ease, giving people a faint sense of joy without giving people a strong sense of oppression. ”

"One of Zhou Yi's core points of view is that they know what kind of state they are in, they can hold on to this state, but at the same time they are very sensitive to changes in the outside world and can actively embrace changes. ”

"This state may not be able to be attained in our lifetime, but that does not prevent you from knowing that such a state exists, and that someone has ever been there. ”

"When we are suspicious, indignant, fearful, greedy, it is a coordinate for us to correct our words and deeds. ”

"If I had to give an example, I would like to use the word Confucian supreme benevolence. ”

"It is often said that the benevolent are invincible. Benevolence can be, but it does not only refer to the virtues of righteousness, love, kindness, loyalty, and compassion. ”

Actually, in my opinion, benevolence is not a character, but a ability, the ability to communicate with all things without being influenced by the outside world. In this way, it can be called invincible. Otherwise, you must know that throughout the ages, there have been many people who have benevolence but cannot accomplish things or become enlightened.

"Master Confucius is actually a very good person who blends idealism and realism, he is full of yearning and pursuit of the way of a gentleman, and at the same time he is always vigilant to the cruelty of reality and the dangers brought about by the shortcomings of human nature. ”

"If we only pursue ideals, it is easy to put ourselves in a dangerous situation, and if we are willing to remain in the comfort zone with mediocrity and do not have the ideals of a gentleman in our hearts, then morality is easy to degenerate. ”

"As for the differences, there are naturally some – the paths and methods to the top are different. ”

Therefore, Taoists believe that many things are just different, and there is no right or wrong, right or wrong, superior or inferior. ”

"For example, my Daomen, although it also emphasizes teaching without class, will choose disciples from virtue and qualifications. We believe that many people and many things have a destiny and are talented. Cultivation is a very difficult and life-and-death affair, and Taoists are not very willing to support anyone to try. ”

"Look at this mountain creeper, even if it is facing a rock wall, it can grow on its own, and if you change the vines, why don't you try it?"

"Look at this cactus again, no one cares about it, you can still live well, you try to raise a pot of phalaenopsis? ”

Therefore, each plant has its own good, each plant has its own correct way to open, each person has its own way, groping for their own path, others can refer to it, but can not blindly follow. ”

To put it simply, what is the Tao? Can people attain the Tao? In terms of affirmation, the Tao is the way, and everyone can walk it, otherwise it is not the Tao. In terms of negation, not everyone can attain enlightenment, because people have demons. ”

"People have the possibility of enlightenment, but having it is not the same as being able to do it, but it is not the same as doing it. Everyone can walk the aisle, but very few can go to the end, go very far, and go all the way - this is an indisputable fact and reality. ”

"Taoists take one angle, Buddhists take another. ”

"Buddhism wants to pick up everyone, and not let go of everyone, and no one is missing. Buddhism believes that everyone has a Buddha nature, and everything has a Buddha nature, which is a great compassion, a great wish, a great knowledge, a great deed – this is the ideal and vision that must be fought for. ”

"The old man, Buddhism and Taoism, in my eyes - the Tao is like a fist, and the Buddha is like spreading his hands. The fist is also the hand, the hand is also the fist, the hand is the body of the fist, and the fist is the use of the hand. ”

"I said that it is very difficult to attain enlightenment in the void and fall into the place. Because the void is in front of us, the Tao, Buddha and Confucianism are all in it, but the void is untouchable, it has nothing to increase, nothing to reduce, no birth or destruction, to accommodate all things, how can we make it land?"

Hua Lanting was completely immersed in Chen Lu'an's words, and at this moment he unconsciously asked to himself: "It's so difficult, isn't it? Since someone has reached it, it means that there is still a way to go. ”

Chen Lu'an laughed and said, "The kid is good, I know the meaning of the old man's words." Very good, not only there are roads, but there are many of them, the Buddha has a method, the Tao has a spell, even if there is no road, we must create a road to heaven!"

"The void as a whole does not increase, decrease, and perish, but it can not be done partially, and when you merge with it, and do not distinguish between them, you can do whatever you want!"

"You still have to have dreams, but what if you can't realize them?"

Hua Lanting saw Chen Lu'an looking at him with a smile, and suddenly felt blessed to his heart, and also smiled: "You are right, what it means in case it can't be realized is that it can't be achieved in case it can't be realized, and 9999 out of 10,000 can be realized." ”

Chen Lu'an laughed loudly: "Please come out of the door, of course the old man can't be stingy, and give you a magic spell." Come and see!"

Chen Lu'an raised his hand, and an object flew out, transforming into a narrow-mouthed and slender bottle in the air.

Hua Lanting looked carefully, the bottle body did not see anything unusual, but it only felt that there was a hidden universe, and there seemed to be peaks and peaks looming in the clouds and mist, especially the bottom of the bottle flickering brightly and darkly, as if there were two objects stirring, and it was impossible to distinguish the clues.

What's even more amazing is that the crescent moon in the sky is reflected, and a moon also appears in the bottle, but it is constantly evolving from the hook to the full moon shape.

Chen Lu'an asked, "What can you see from this?"

Hua Lanting was a little confused: "I can't see it clearly in the bottle, but the reflected moon is sharp and round, does this represent the meaning of Tai Chi Yin and Yang?"

Chen Lu'an asked again: "When the moon is sharp, where is the round phase? When the circle is round, where is the sharp phase?"

Hua Lan Ting: "When the tip is hidden, when the circle is sharp, the tip is there." The cusp is only a manifestation of the whole phase of the circle, and when it becomes round, the cusp contains within it. ”

Chen Lu'an continued: "When the tip is round, there is no point. The reason why the moon is considered to be pointed is because it has a round aspect in people's hearts, and the reason why the moon is called round is because it has no pointed aspect. Again. ”

Hua Lanting thought for a while: "When it is sharp, it is not sharp, and when it is round, it is not round." The tip is not the tip of the moon, the circle is not the full moon, everything is a phantom created by the heart. ”

Chen Lu'an nodded with satisfaction: "The understanding is not bad, and I have not been encircled." Just like what you experienced in the illusion before, seeing is not necessarily believing, it depends on the feeling of the heart. ”

"In this world, there is black and white, but more of a gray area in the middle, there is a polar cathode and a yang, and more often there is a chaotic state mixed with each other, and the same is true for good and bad. ”

What's even more amazing is that it can also reverse black and white, and convert yin and yang. There are many times when the expression of contrary things is the same. For example: Hualan Ting, you are very good, you are very good. ”

Hua Lanting: "Yes. You have eggs, you don't have eggs. ”

Chen Lu'an: "It's up to you to care if it's useful or not." Useful no don't care about you. ”

Hua Lanting: "You can anger him with your words, but you can't anger him with your words?"

Chen Lu'an: "I miss you to death." You're going to kill me. ”

Hua Lanting: "You're afraid you're a nerd, aren't you?" ”

Chen Lu'an: "I think you understand, these words are not many words, but the meaning is still the same." These words are not the same, and the meaning is not the same? There is a principle of yin and yang in this positive and negative way. ”

"This treasure of mine is called Yunshui Qingshan Bottle, embedded in the Infinite Pisces Array. However, before the Daomen talks about the fate method, before passing on this method to you, let me ask you again, how did you feel in the coma in the previous section?"

Hua Lanting thought for a while: "A lot, hot and cold, dark, awake, confused, fearful, painful, itchy, sleepy, ......"

Chen Lu'an said maliciously: "This is not enough, there are still a lot waiting for you in the future." What are you like born sweet, rebellious and spicy, cherished sour, affectionate and bitter, and numb physically and mentally...... Okay, I won't spoil it. ”

"Let me ask you one last question, be sure to think about it before answering, it is related to whether you have a relationship with this spell. Tell me, what impressed you the most?"

Hua Lanting carefully recalled and replied two words: "Sickness." ”
