Chapter 130: The Nature of Things Is Not Necessarily the Answer
"Donor. On the Buddha Hall, Yuan Xie closed his eyes: "The old man doesn't understand what you mean, people in Buddhism don't cross life and death." ”
"Really?" Li Si nodded quietly and looked up at the King Kong statue on the Buddha Hall: "Then it seems that I have indeed come to the wrong place." ”
Yuan Xie didn't speak again, it should have acquiesced to Li Si's words.
But at this time, Li Si said again: "But speaking of which, master, do you know, someone once told me a story, saying that in Shaolin, there was a murderous monk ······"
Yuanjie's body paused for a moment, then raised his hands and folded in front of him and said.
"Shaolin, there are no murderous monks. ”
Li Si looked at the King Kong statue and did not answer his words, but continued to tell the story.
"In the story, the monk wanted to kill all the wicked people in the world, and everyone said that he was wrong, that he was obsessed, that he was focused on his true appearance, but he still continued to kill, killing the rivers and lakes with blood, killing the monk's clothes like blood, killing the notoriety, and killing the red fields all over the place. ”
"Some say he's a Buddha, some say he's a Yama, until one day, even he thinks he's wrong. He came to the mountain gate of Shaolin, repented, and asked for a cause and effect. So from then on, he knelt under the statue of Vajra and was never born again. ”
Li Si glanced sideways at Yuan Jie, Yuan Xie closed his hands and did not look at him.
"But master, what do you think I think after hearing this story?"
Li Si asked with a smile, but Yuan Xie didn't answer, so he continued on with his own thoughts.
"What I think is that the monk did nothing wrong, on the contrary, he did what no one in this world dares to do. ”
"Killing one person is a karma, killing ten thousand people is ten thousand, that monk really made a grand wish, he wants to kill all the wicked people in one lifetime, and carry the karma of one lifetime. How many people in this world would dare to do such a thing?"
At least Li Si himself didn't dare.
So I said to the storyteller, "The Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, if you want to come to that monk, you will go to hell." ”
The storyteller smiled and shook his head, but alas, the man stopped at the gates of hell. ”
······
Li Si didn't say anything more, and the hall was quiet.
Until, Yuan Xie reopened his eyes.
"Who did you listen to this story of the donor?"
He lowered his eyes and asked, the figure under the monk's robe looked rickety and thin.
"He said that his name was Yuanyuan, and he used to be called Yuanyuan. Li Si raised his eyebrows and replied.
"Senior Brother Yuanyuan, ······" Yuan Xie muttered, and then sighed with a smile: "Sure enough······"
With that, he slowly sat up straight.
Facing the Vajra Buddha statue, he raised his head and let out a long breath.
"When I was young, Senior Brother Yuanyuan was the one with the highest understanding among us, whether it was Buddhism or martial arts, he always understood it at all, and Master was most satisfied with him, because he could always see deeper and farther than us. ”
"As for me, I am the stupidest one, always blinded, obsessed with everything, and often need others to resolve it for me. So when he took the Buddha's name, the master named him Yuanyuan, and I called him Yuanjie. ”
"That year, we were seventeen years old. ”
Yuanjie's voice was deep, as if he had fallen into a long memory.
"Later, I practiced on the mountain. Senior Brother Yuanyuan's martial arts are the highest, and he has cultivated a set of Golden Body Compassion Sutras, and I am at the bottom, and I have cultivated a set of Great Compassion Sutras to overcome evil and suffering. ”
"There is no time in the mountains, once fifty years. Several of us have completed our exercises, and Master summoned us and asked us to travel down the mountain. He said that there is only one requirement, that he will come in one life, without suffering or evil, without cause and effect. Senior Brother Yuanyuan didn't speak, and buckled three heads at the master, who didn't look at him, but just waved his hand. Senior Brother Yuan Nian listened carefully, Senior Brother Yuan Zhen was careless, and Yuan Lu hadn't woken up yet. I sat on the sidelines, not knowing how much was going to happen along the way. ”
"That year was the last time we got together. ”
"After going down the mountain, the world is too far behind what I thought. The world is full of bitterness. I have seen people starve to death on the streets, I have seen people wander upside down, I have seen the powerful oppressing the people, and I have seen thousands of miles of land after natural disasters. But I can't get involved in cause and effect, I always remember my master's words, just look at it and don't do it, it's like I have sealed my ears, eyes, mouth and nose, and ignore everything. ”
"Until one day, I saw a gang of bandits robbing the road. They killed the couple in the convoy and stole the goods. I wanted to go around, but a girl ran up to me. ”
"She was supposed to be the couple's daughter, and when she came, her face was pale and her father's blood was still stained on her face. She ran to my feet, grabbed my leg and said, "Help me." ”
I still remember the look on her face at that time, but I still can't say it. Because I stood still and watched an arrow come from behind her and hit her back. ”
"There was the laughter of the bandits in the distance, it turned out that they were teasing the girl, and the girl's blood splashed on my hands, and she looked at me with her eyes open, and I looked at her. ”
"The blood beads on his hands were warm, like relics made by Buddhist monks in the fire. ”
"I felt like my body was being burned by fire, and my brain was shaking like a stick was stirring in it. So I couldn't hold back any longer, untied the stick from my back, and walked towards the group of bandits. ”
"That day, I killed twelve people and didn't let them run away. ”
"It was also on that day that I made a wish, I will not be a Buddha anymore, I will cross people, and I will cross people for a lifetime of suffering. ”
"My comprehension is the worst, so I don't understand anymore, I can't do it if I don't care about everything in the world, so I just do things and do what I think is right. ”
"To distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, to distinguish between yin and yang, black and white. Regardless of whether he is a Buddha or a demon, I want a world without flawlessness and a world without suffering and evil. With the stick in my hand, with my monk's robe. ”
Saying this, Yuan Xie lowered his head.
In front of King Kong, his old face looked tired and his eyes were lost.
"It's a pity, I'm still obsessed, like when I was young. I have been in the world for nearly ten years, and I have killed countless wicked people, and I have become the Suffering I Killing Sutra of Great Compassion through evil suffering. My martial arts have been growing day by day, but the wicked have never been able to kill inexhaustible. I don't understand, I don't understand why the world is so afflicted, but the Buddha doesn't do anything, and if he doesn't do anything, then what kind of Buddha is it?"
"So I kept killing, killing until I was half crazy and half crazy, and finally one day, Senior Brother Yuanyuan found me······"
I asked him about the words "Buddha" and "monk", and he replied that "Buddha is the Dharma and man is a monk." yes, that's when I realized how easy it was. The distinction between the two is clear and clear, people cannot become Buddhas, let alone the Dharma, and Buddhas do not cross people, and Buddhas are not Buddhas. In the end, it is only the people themselves who can cross people. ”
"After that, I went back to Shaolin. I wanted to cross myself first, and I have been crossing myself until now······"
Yuan Xie sat in the hall and stopped talking, and he didn't plan to speak anymore.
Li Si looked at him silently, half a sound, smiled and said, "Then do you want to know what the old monk said after telling me this story?"
Yuan Xie was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Si again.
"What else did he tell you?"
Li Si propped his hands on the ground and sat reclining, as if he was casually talking.
He said that he didn't expect you to go back to Shaolin, what he wanted to tell you was that the Buddha is not a human being, nor does he cross a person, but a monk crosses a person. ”
Yuan Xie was stunned, and Li Si raised his head, met his gaze, and looked at him.
That's what the old monk told him at the end, and that's what all those who take refuge in Buddhism should do.
It's not difficult, just two words.
Ferry people.
Circular solution has done nothing wrong, never.
He was the best one to do when he went down the mountain that year, because he was the stupidest.
