Vol. 1 Study Tour Chapter 19 It is difficult for people to dream again
"Master Lizen's Dharma is profound, and the little woman admires it. The girl with braided hair knelt in the meditation room, looked at the standing zen master who had broken free from the illusion, and clapped her hands and said.
Master Lizen folded his hands together and gave a salute first, "I don't know what the female benefactor is doing here?"
"Why should the Lizen master pretend to be confused, the little woman is here to get the master's vajra. The girl pulled the strands of hair from the front of her forehead to the back of her head and took off her mask, and the girl's face was not delicate, but it looked very comfortable. The willow leaves bent her eyebrows, her eyes were slightly smaller, and the girl smiled, and her eyes narrowed into a slit.
"You and I are in the chess game, why did the female donor come to embarrass the old man, the old man watched the female donor commit peach blossoms in front of him, and he will be able to find a wishful husband in the near future. When the time comes, isn't it also a beautiful thing in the world to teach each other husband and children?"
"Why do you need to be like this, the little girl is the best at making people indulge in dreams, so you don't have to worry about the little girl's affairs anymore. Besides, the little girl has been away from home for a long time, so how can she talk about marriage if she doesn't return home. The girl seemed to feel too tired to sit on her knees, so she sat down cross-legged with the golden knife of the big horse, and looked at Master Lizen like this. "But the little woman still has a question, can Master Lizen solve my doubts?"
Lizen Zen Master stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Female donor, please speak." ”
"Dare to ask the master why he found himself in an illusion before?"
"People who dream a lot will naturally see the difference between dreams and reality. Venerable Sanzang and his four disciples. Although he is called a master and apprentice, according to the old man, it is just the karma of Master Sanzang himself. The three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance are all in order for Master Sanzang to complete the crossing of himself and achieve the Arhat fruit position. Master Sanzang himself is a person in a dream, how can he bring the old man into a dream. ”
The girl arched her hand towards Master Lizen, "The master is high, the little woman admires, but can the master guess what the ending of Master Sanzang will be in the end?"
"It is not difficult to cross oneself to become an Arhat, but it is not easy to cross others to become a Bodhisattva. "The face of the Lizen master is sad, and the perennial Buddha has been stained with Buddha energy, and at this time he looks compassionate, as if he is a reincarnated Buddha.
"The Lizen master has a Buddha statue, and the little woman admires it. In the end, Venerable Sanzang retrieved the Mahayana sutras and was enshrined as the Buddha of Zhantan Merit. The little woman has this Mahayana Buddhist scripture in her hand, and I would like to exchange it for the master's vajra, can the master be an adult?"
"The edict is the word used by the emperor of the mortal world, and since he has escaped into the empty door, how can he talk about the edict?"
"The little girl is only a shallow learner, and she made a joke, and I hope the master will not care. The master thinks that what I said earlier about the exchange is appropriate?" the girl quickly brought the conversation back to the right path.
"No, please forgive me for not being able to agree to the donor's request. "Master Lizen is very firm, which shows that he has no nostalgia for the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
"Master, you take the Buddhist scriptures to purify sentient beings to achieve positive results, and I take away the talisman that is not very important to you, this deal, how can you say that you have made a profit, why can't you be an adult?"
"If a single Buddhist scripture can save sentient beings, what use do we need for this heavenly god and Buddha, what use do we need for these Buddhist temples all over the world, and what use do we need for these thousands of people who have painstakingly cultivated Buddhism? If there really is such a book, then let the Confucian scholars use it as a textbook for Mongolian learning, wouldn't it be true that everyone in the world can get rid of the sea of suffering and enjoy the right results?"
This old monk is really not easy to bluff, but it seems that I don't have much chance of winning if I go up and fight hard, so I have to find another way. After some weighing, the girl got up, "Master, today the little girl wants to debate the Dharma with you, talk about the other side, and ask for your teachings." ”
"Donor, please. ”
"Master, the Buddha's words are cloudy, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, what does this mean?"
"Putting down the butcher's knife does not mean a butcher's knife that actually kills. The "butcher's knife" here refers to malice, evil words, evil deeds, and all delusions, delusions, confusions, reversals, separations, and attachments. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, this sentence means: let go of delusions, separation, and attachment, in order to achieve the Buddha body, which is also the poor monk mentioned to cross oneself. The essence of the butcher's knife is that man is confused about himself, and man becomes obsessed with himself and becomes obsessed with himself, so that man is the last obstacle to Buddhahood. Only when one is detached from man, one renounces man, and is no longer human, can one become a Buddha. What does the donor think of this solution?"
"If the master is proficient in Buddhism, he will not be wrong. The little woman also asked, what does the master think of killing one person and saving ten people?"
"No, you can't. ”
"How about killing one and saving a hundred?"
Master Lizen hesitated a little, but still said, "No. ”
"Killing one person and saving a thousand, is the master willing to do this?"
Master Lizen thought about it for a longer time this time, and seemed to be struggling, "No. ”
"Kill one person and save ten thousand people, save ten million people in the world?"
"That's fine. ”
The girl smiled and looked at Master Lizen, but she didn't speak, Master Lizen looked at her, as if she thought of something, "Amitabha, it's a poor monk." ”
"Master don't mind, it's the little woman's problem that is too tricky. However, the next Buddha, even in the hometown of the little woman, is just an allusion known to women and children, so dare to ask the master for a prize. ”
Master Lizen laughed when he heard this, "Going around, the female benefactor still can't let go of the old monk's vajra." Anyway, I'd like to see you. ”
The girl's face twitched a little, "Master, you better put it another way, this statement always feels strange." ”
Master Lizen looked puzzled, obviously not knowing what he had said wrong.
"Master, without further ado, it has been recorded in the "Five Lantern Huiyuan" that Zen Master Yuangui said that the Buddha has three abilities and three cannots, 'The Buddha can empty everything and become ten thousand wisdoms, but cannot immediately destroy the karma; the Buddha can know that the masses have a poor nature, but cannot guide the cause; the Buddha can be immeasurably affectionate, but cannot exhaust all sentient beings." 'Can the master agree with Zen Master Yuangui's philosophy?'
"Zen Master Yuangui has a profound Dharma, and the poor monks naturally agree. Master Rizen smiled and waited for the girl's next step.
"A Buddha can empty everything into ten thousand wisdoms, so can a Buddha make a stone that he can't move?"
"I see, the donor has such ingenuity, the poor monk admits defeat. ”
When the girl heard this, she was stunned for a while, and she began to refrain from entering the oil and salt, so why did she suddenly admit defeat now? Sure enough, these so-called monks were really unreliable.
Master Lizen got up and put the vajra in front of the girl and returned to the couch. "Amitabha, I didn't expect that today's old man would also have the opportunity to achieve a beautiful marriage, female benefactor, your destined husband has appeared. ”
The girl was shocked when she heard this, and put away the mask vajra, "Damn, you old monk, dare to calculate the old lady, and the old lady will see a monk fight one in the future." After shaking off the cruel words, the girl hurriedly ran out of the meditation room and hurried down the mountain from the back mountain.
