Chapter 11 Morning bells and dusk drums, dust and insulation

This green mountain ancient temple, the Buddha lamp is always bright.

As in the past, the young monks got up at the beginning of the morning clock, washed and dressed at two o'clock, and went to the morning class first.

The monks recited the "Lengyan Sutra", eliminated disasters and solved difficulties, read the "Great Compassion Mantra", and were pure and detached.

Half an hour later, I began to eat breakfast in batches, each doing its own thing.

Or go out to make a relationship, or clean the temple, light lamps and add oil, burn incense and wait, until the lunch is over, and do not eat after lunch.

Until the beginning of the evening class, reciting the Buddhist scriptures for three hours, loving all sentient beings, and transcending hardship.

In the middle of lunch, he took a small amount of rice and gave alms to the hungry ghosts, and the evil spirits were overcome, and the drums fell asleep after class at dusk. And so on day after day, year after year.

This beautiful young monk entered this empty door, and the Dharma name was cut off.

I don't know when, where and why I came, and I can't remember when I entered, but I remember that I fetched water for a year, washed clothes for a year, planted land for a year, cooked for a year, and turned into a fate for a year.

The eyes are like an abyss, and there is no love, hatred, hatred, or obsession, the lips are thin, and the Tao is boundless, and the frosty face is cold, and there is no joy, anger and sorrow. He recited this sutra for five years.

The monk's clothes he wears on weekdays have also changed from five clothes to seven clothes, and then to nine clothes and sea green, and the robe is hung out. When the Dharma is perfect, there are many believers near and far.

When he first turned into a relationship, he made the women in the boudoir from near and far fall in love, and changed the law to tease him. Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.

The Buddha became more and more reluctant to meet the woman, and then simply stopped going to the fate, and many young women heard about this ancient temple and came to see.

Later, there was only one sentence: "The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to it." "Closed doors. Everyone came happily and cried away, tormenting how many infatuated women.

Why did such a beautiful man with such a crown of jade enter this empty door. The law name is to break the dust, naturally in order to break the dust.

The Dharma name given to himself by the master is to poke deep into his heart and alert himself.

I am far away from my homeland and come to this ancient temple of the Northern Dynasty just to break off. For the rest of his life, he will be accompanied by this green lantern ancient Buddha, and there will be no waves.

He remembered his old days, searching the ends of the earth, thinking about finding the man and asking for clarification.

I searched for a year, but there was no trace, I hoped again and again, and I was disappointed again and again.

With that obsession, he entered the devil's path, was sad and distressed, and could not be detached.

If it was a little earlier, it might be different, if it was a little more powerful, it might be different, and if it wasn't in this world, it would be even different.

Perhaps this world rises and perishes because of me. I can't afford it, I don't have worries. Qingsi was annoyed, but only for a moment. The world is rushed, but in an instant.

The lamp of the ancient Buddha is shining, and at this moment, a thought, a moment, a flick of the fingers, a pre-Luo, and a moment of geometry.

The bitterness and happiness of all beings are born from this moment, a thought, a moment, a flick of a finger, a premonition, and a moment, and it is also extinguished from this moment. It's better to see through it sooner.

Until this day, an unusual stranger came to this ancient temple.

During the morning class, I heard the master say that a guest visited the mountain gate, but did not say the origin of his name, and told everyone not to lie and do everything as before.

After the morning class every day, I meditate in the meditation room to comprehend the boundless Dharma: I can extract Buddhist scriptures, annotate and answer questions, or calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and cultivate my body and mind.

In this deep mountain ancient temple, but it is still alive.

Outside the mountain gate, a man rode a white and variegated horse.

followed by a team of people dressed in soap boots, in an orderly manner. The leader is a black suit with fire patterns, a regular dress woven with gold silk, and a green jade embellishment on the costume is extremely luxurious.

The man stepped off his horse and looked back and said, "Go alone, you are waiting here." "Pick up this bluestone green stairs and go up.

The towering ancient trees on both sides stand up, the mountain breeze blows by, and the spring is cool.

The birds in the woods are singing one after another, as if they feel the slight sun. The woods sprinkled with fine light and shadow here flickered and dimmed, and I don't know what kind of Zen temple this path leads to.

The mountain was not steep, but it was so high that the man did not know that he had not walked such a long distance.

After walking for about half an hour, Eagle Eye saw the mountain gate in the distance.

On the long-washed gray stone plaque, there are several vigorous and powerful big characters - Rongku Temple, but it is the head swallowtail of the silkworm in Lishu, with twists and turns.

Above this mountain gate are the mountain gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Dharma Hall, the Reincarnation Tibetan Hall and the Pilu Palace, the Abbot's Room, etc.

The layout of the specifications is similar to that of ordinary temples, but he didn't come for this.

Today, I heard a strange article, and I heard that the daughter of the Chinese scholar fell in love with the person in the empty door, and she couldn't ask for it, and she couldn't afford to be sick for a long time.

He wanted to find out? There are not many monks in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and most of them are doing their own thing. I think I left the morning class and went to do my own practice.

I didn't believe in Buddhism, so I lit sandalwood at random. After a brief bow, he left the temple.

The residence of the Dust Breaker Mage, who had already been explored, went straight there.

The winding path paved with stones on the mountain leads to a quiet and elegant place, the plum blossoms in early spring have not yet fallen, and there is still a light fragrance, not like the heavy sandalwood on the temple. It can be seen that Master Broken Dust loves pure elegance, and this meditation room is different.

In early spring, the sunlight is not very strong, and it is slightly warm. The sun shone on the door of this meditation room, as if knocking on the door for him.

The man walked outside the door, and his voice was neither slow nor slow: "The Master's Dharma number is broken, I have a doubt, and I have come to solve it." ”

"Today, the poor monks do not see guests, only participate in Zen and enlightenment. The Buddha sat in the meditation room, closed his eyes and recited.

"Guru, there are many women in the world who are obsessed with her. The Guru's Dharma name is broken from the red dust, and it is this number. ”

"I used to fall in love with a woman, and I couldn't ask for it. The master personally gave the Dharma name to cut off the dust. ”

The corners of the person's mouth twitched slightly, and he frowned and said, "I have only loved one woman in my life, but she doesn't love me." ”

"I've been looking for a year, but I haven't heard anything about her" The Buddha opened his eyes, and his lips opened slightly.

"I searched for her for five years, and when I saw her, I lost her forever. The man outside the door was in tears, closing his eyes and pondering. "She died because of me. ”

The Buddha moved the rosary in his hand and said, "Amitabha, don't worry." People go like lights go out, and spring grass blows and grows. A withering and a prosperous, a change of life and death. ”

"The Buddha said it easily. If you are ruined, you should not be called dust-off. The man said with an awe-inspiring face: "Those who are obsessed with this world, how do you break off your evil fate and debts?" Love, the so-called love at first sight, hate, the so-called can't ask for it, hatred, the so-called annoyance and annoyance of oneself, foolishness, the so-called mistaken bell. As a human being, you can't break off this love. ”

The Buddha suddenly became interested in this person, and stood at the tulle window door, but did not open the door and said: "Love does not only arise, but also does not know when it will end." It is very simple for people to pick up, and they are even trapped by it unconsciously. If I say that my Dharma name is broken, it is for the sake of letting go, and it is very difficult to let go. Difficult to cultivate the mind and stop desires, I would like to enter this predicament and transcend this realm. The world is obsessed with lust, but I don't know that the red face is dry for a moment. If you enter this game, you will not be able to detach yourself for the rest of your life. Therefore, I will never see the woman again, so that this red face and dry bones will no longer become someone else's game. After a long time, I gradually forgot about it. ”

"The great virtue of the Buddha, if you can overcome the suffering of sentient beings, it will be great!" he said and turned away, "I want to see how you can overcome sentient beings?" The Buddha opened the door and looked at the man's back, and a trace of purple appeared in his eyes on the black abyss.

The man rode away, leaving the empty mountain gate behind.

This light and shadow green tree seems to be unwilling. Within a few days, the noisy sound once again broke the silence of the ancient temple in the mountains.

Shangyu: "The Buddha of Rongku Temple is dusty, the Buddhism is exquisite, and the conduct is noble. Yu Shen thought about the suffering of the people, and invited the master to give a lecture at the White Horse Temple in the capital, spreading the Dharma and benefiting all sentient beings. The pen is here. ”

The old father-in-law who announced the decree seemed to have a stammer, and said with a smile on his face like a flower: "Your Majesty has a deep grace, and the future of the Buddha is immeasurable." ”

There was no joy, anger or sorrow in Broken Dust's eyes, and the abyss-like pupils were pitch black.

The thin and beautiful figure knelt with an expressionless face, and said for a long time: "I thank the Holy Grace, I have learned the vulgarity below, and I don't want to go to the noble land of the central land, and I will bother my father-in-law to return to the courtesy." Then he got up and left, and left the treasure hall without slowing down.

Leaving everyone in the hall in astonishment, the father-in-law wanted to ask the master to persuade him, but he only knelt and silently closed his eyes and chanted the scriptures, without saying a word.

The father-in-law was not light, and the gorgeous guard of honor left the mountain gate in a gray manner. The cause and effect were reported.

The people of the past were not angry, but re-issued a decree to seal the dust as the most holy Zen master, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple. The dust is still not subject to it, and it is still the same as before.

This third time was to appoint him as the protector of the country and govern the monks of the world. This time, it was Xingxiang who came to issue the decree, with thousands of strong horses, stationed at the foot of the mountain, but refused to leave again.

In the willow tops on the moon, in the pure meditation room where the lights are lit up, the pure and beautiful Buddha sits on the futon, holding the prayer beads in his hand, as if in contemplation. For a long time, the red lips slightly opened:

"The disciple does not want to enter the red dust, for fear that the Buddha's heart will be ruined. ”

The thin master pinched the prayer beads, sat on the bed and closed his eyes, and said, "I expect that this will sink, so you don't need to be called to cut off the dust." I see it in your eyes. ”

Although the Buddha wanted to speak, he couldn't say a word. "If you can kill no one, you will cut off this red dust. I am a Buddha who takes care of yourself. The master still closed his eyes, but this sentence and word fell on the heart of the Buddha like a thousand catties.

"Disciple remember the teachings of the master, if you enter the devil's path, you will cultivate my Buddha again in the next life. The thin and beautiful Buddha bowed, and the ninth power got up and went out with his back to the door.

The crescent moon in the sky, the evening breeze blowing the willow trees, passing through the monks' own meditation room of the temple, to the place of the fasting guest.

Outside the house, he said aloud, "I have received this decree, and I will go with you tomorrow." The old man with the goatee in the house wanted to sleep, but when he heard this, he ran to open the door, but he did not have any shoes on.

"Is this true?"

The green and beautiful monk lowered his head and closed his eyes: "This is true, and there is no intention of repentance." ”

The old man called the attendants, "Go down the mountain and make arrangements." Tomorrow, I have performed the canonization ceremony and set off immediately. ”

The Buddha floated away, but the old man couldn't sleep anymore, and after lying down for two hours, he started to arrange.

The next day, the accompanying guard of honor set up a platform, and the fortunate minister read out the will.

The celebrant who came with him put on the royal robe for the Buddha and performed the ceremony of conferring.

The Zen master who protects the country walks on the road, and the empty mountain gate is restored to its original state. The Zen monastery is silent, and the forest is quiet.
