Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 198 The knot of the heart has gone to the red dust
The fourth uncle passed out and lay on the bed in the Rakshasa Hall, and next to him sat a monk who was very old, wearing a gray monk's robe, and a few strands of beard were completely white, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper than the old skin on the tree, making it impossible to guess how old he was for a while.
Behind the old monk were Juexin and the little monk Shifang, who were also looking at the old monk with concern, but they didn't dare to make any moves, let alone speak to disturb, because they knew that the old monk was worried at the moment.
The old monk is naturally the abbot of Xuanqing Temple, Master Ran, he has now gone through one hundred and two years, and he has long seen the vicissitudes of the world.
His withered hand was on the fourth uncle's arm, and he was concentrating on looking for his pulse that came and went, fast and slow, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he moved his hand away from the fourth uncle's arm, and said calmly with a little regret: "I can't imagine that decades of cultivation will be ruined......
Shifang blinked and didn't know what the master meant, so he looked up at Juexin.
Juexin clasped his hands together and said, "Master means that the young man ......."
He shook his head and said, "I think this is probably his own meaning, sometimes the most proud things in life will become the biggest constraint in your life......"
"The reason why he went mad was that in addition to having karma in his heart, it was also because of this body that has been cultivated for decades, and now that he can get rid of this bondage, it can be regarded as a liberation, and we should all be ......happy about it."
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the void, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes and slowly read the scriptures.
Jue Xin was stunned for a moment, unlike the Ten Directions, he naturally knew that the scriptures that the master recited were specially used to transcend the undead, and the person in front of him only ruined his cultivation, but his life was not in serious trouble, why did the master recite this transcendent scripture?
He didn't ask, let alone really question Master's approach, so he recited the scriptures with a solemn expression.
"Master Ran......" The fourth uncle opened his eyes and saw the extremely old monk in front of him, looking at the void with sadness.
"It's me who didn't protect the ...... like jade"
He stopped chanting the scriptures silently, and his expression returned to calm.
"How can I blame you, it's all her own choice, not to mention ...... When her father was young, I became a monk, and I broke the earthly relationship, there is always life and death in the world, you should have let go of the attachment in your heart......"
"I can't imagine that the karma that you haven't been able to get rid of for a long time is actually waiting for such an opportunity, have you let go now?" looked at the fourth uncle and asked with a smile.
The fourth uncle also nodded slowly, and his face no longer looked painful, but there was unprecedented relief.
"I followed that man for half my life, saved countless lives, and harmed a lot, at that time I always thought that saving people and killing people could offset the merits, but in fact, I walked step by step into the abyss......"
"The things of the past are like nightmares, disturbing the mind and not sleeping, until today's moment of life and death know that everything is illusory, leaving his life to destroy the cultivation of the body, from then on everything in the heart is empty, willing to enter the Buddha's door, and the disturbances of the world have nothing to do with it......"
Master Zhiran smiled compassionately and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, good and good...... Since this is the case, the name of the world has nothing to do with you from now on, and I have taken the Dharma name for you, which means that you will be dusty, return to the same avenue, and become a disciple of Buddhism......
The fourth uncle hurriedly got up and bowed: "I am willing to enter the Buddha Gate, but isn't this Dharma name the same generation as the master?"
He shook his head and smiled, and said: "Now that you have entered the Buddha Gate, everything in your past life and this life is empty, and you are an idiot if you care about your generation!"
The fourth uncle raised his head, looked at the compassionate and smiling master, nodded slowly, and shouted: "Senior brother......"
He stretched out his hand to help him up, and then asked his disciple to take the shaved things, cut off the hair for the fourth uncle, and put a ring scar.
Things in the world, who can say clearly, it turns out that Wen Qingqing's mother Wen Ruyu is the granddaughter of Master Ran when he was in a layman's family, and she is also the person who has never been forgotten in the heart of the fourth uncle, and now the fourth uncle has been liberated after abolishing his cultivation, and he has converted to Buddhism and become the younger brother of Master Ran.
The fourth uncle left Wanfu because he was entrusted by Wan Ruhai to do one thing, and then when he went back, the whole mansion had all died tragically, he was disheartened, staggered to Xuanqing Temple, and since then those pictures of Wen Ruyu's death and the people he has killed with his own hands over the years have always haunted his heart, and he has been tortured every day and night, and he has not been able to extricate himself.
Master Zhiran placed him in the Rakshasa Hall, and wanted to use the Dharma to dissolve the obsession in his heart, so he told him that the doors and windows were locked so that he could break through the shackles of life and death and red dust, but he never locked the door, because as long as he could get out of the door by himself, maybe he would be able to let go of it from now on.
This is why after Luobei arrives, he will hear the sound of wooden fish and chanting from the Rakshasa Hall at night.
It's a pity that even if the fourth uncle insists on doing so every day, it is difficult to resolve all the obsessions, although the doors and windows are not locked, he has not taken a step.
Until Luo Bei reappeared, when he opened the door of the Rakshasa Hall, he had the heart of death, and at that moment he let go of all the past, even if he appeared at the last moment and saved his life, before he fell unconscious, he himself would have all his cultivation wasted, and he had achieved it in the true sense.
Juexin and Shifang bowed down in front of the dust, and they didn't expect that a senior uncle would be added in just a moment.
......
In the early morning, the Xuanqing Temple is still the same as before.
There is a morning bell in the morning, a dusk drum, accompanied by the sound of monks chanting, it seems peaceful and warm.
The little monk Shifang stood in front of the temple gate, looking at the bottom of the mountain as if he was in a trance, and under the mountain were patches of villages, and from a high place, all of them were low houses.
The smoke rises slowly, a little different from the calm of the temple, and people are starting their busy day, starting with filling their stomachs.
The simplicity and leisure of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan" can only be achieved when the spiritual world rises to a certain level, and most people in the world are more concerned about food and clothing.
Ten aspects of the most ordinary and ordinary things in the world, a little distracted, tilted their heads, and their dark eyes shone with bright brilliance.
Two monks in gray robes were standing behind him, one of them was Master Ran, and the other was his junior brother Lichen.
"Shifang, this kid is young, but he is quite perceptive, but it's a pity that I can't wait for that day!" Master Ran bathed in the morning light and said calmly.
Lichen held the Buddha beads in his hand, and when he heard his senior brother's words, he couldn't help but look sideways slightly, and said: "Senior brother is in such good health, why do you want to say such a thing......?
The master stretched out his thinness
The wrinkled hand came to the dust, put it on the dust arm, and said: "Senior brother, we are all Buddha cultivators, and our hearts have long been beyond life and death, but this mortal body is in the red dust, naturally no one will inevitably have a moment of death, I have lived for more than a hundred years, and it is a great opportunity......
Ran's expression changed slightly, thinking of the figure of the young man, and the old man's face was a little more compassionate.
"That young man has hidden great secrets in the world for thousands of years, and he is also burdened with the great calamities of the world, I am willing to use Buddhism to transform, even if it is a hundred years of body and cultivation, but I hope that the young man can be liberated, and don't let the world reap the ......."
Hearing this, Lichen took a step back, solemnly folded his hands, and said, "Senior Brother has great compassion in his heart, and Lichen is taught!"
But he shook his head, his eyes were as calm as water, and he couldn't see a trace of regret and regret for his imminent death, and then said with a smile: "When I passed, I already sensed that the limit was coming, and being able to transform one person is to stay in this world and have some more merits, so it is also the mercy that the world has given me, but ......"
"Shifang, this child is young, but there are hills and valleys in his heart, if someone can be good at teaching, he will definitely be able to achieve the avenue, at this time, I can only hand it over to my junior brother, and after I pass away, this Xuanqing Temple will be handed over to Juexin to take care of them......"
It turned out that between the two of them, Master Ran was explaining the aftermath to the new junior brother Lichen, and the more Lichen listened, the more sad he became, he didn't expect that he had just been relieved and was about to usher in the death of his senior brother.
But at this moment, he is no longer the fourth uncle in the red dust, but has become a monk, but mortal dust is not only those memories of the past, but also life and death.
The Buddha said: People in the world have birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and all kinds of suffering, so they cannot be liberated, and those who are monks should be pure with the six roots, but they are in the earthly world but beyond the world, and all greed, hatred, and ignorance are vain.
Therefore, he only had to firmly remember what his senior brother had entrusted him, and he didn't dare to be infatuated anymore.
Master Zhiran stroked his white beard, his face was old but kind, he had practiced for more than a hundred years, and he had already seen through all kinds of things in the world, he knew that the junior disciples around him who had just taken refuge still had relatives in their hearts, but he did not say it, because he knew that the distress in everyone's heart needed to be overcome and overcome by himself.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the back of Shifang, looked at the mountains and rivers and thousands of households under the mountain, the streams bypassed the fields, and the hard-working figures were already wrapped in their stomachs, and when they walked out of the house, they were about to start a day's work, which was the most ordinary day for ordinary people.
But in fact, this ordinary day is not the most beautiful and harmonious picture in the world!
What a quiet picture, what an ordinary world.
If there are people in the world, they are in the world.
"20,000 miles of sea, 3,000 years of secular life"
"The human heart has boundaries, and the law of compassion is boundless"
Master Ran raised his head and looked at him leisurely, as if he didn't care about the matter that was approaching the end of the day, but he still wanted to see the world as it was like, because it would not be long before he had to fulfill his last wish, and he was not sure if it would be granted.
Everyone in the world has wishes and dreams, but in a lifetime, how many people can complete their initial dreams, and who can have no regrets at the last moment of life!
Now that you have decided to do it, you have no hesitation, and no matter what the outcome, everything is complete......
