The 9th North and South Shaolin Meeting, Songshan (1)
Songshan Shaolin Temple is known as "the world's first temple", and Shaolin school and Wudang school is also recognized by the martial arts "Taishan Beidou", the past generations of Shaolin monks have devoted themselves to research and development to make Shaolin Kung Fu famous all over the world, and there is a saying in the martial arts that "the world's kung fu is out of Shaolin, and Shaolin Kung Fu is the world".
Let's say that when everyone arrived at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain, they saw a mountain gate in front of them. Above this mountain gate, hang a black and gold plaque, write "Shaolin Temple", a pair of stone lions and a pair of male and female opposite each other at the door, majestic. There are several monks guarding the gate of the temple.
Everyone stepped forward, and several monks at the door saluted everyone, and Guangyuan stepped forward and said: "Go and tell the abbot, just say that Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang, Huo Gongcheng, Ren and other martial arts colleagues are coming." The man replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Guangyuan." ”
Time is not big, from the Shaolin Temple out of a line of monks, the leader is more than seventy years old, dressed in a monk's robe and a wide robe, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a few whiskers fluttering, the monk read: "Amitabha, all the heroes come to my Shaolin, the old man is polite here." "This person is the abbot of the Shaolin faction, Master Fadu.
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The juniors have seen Master Fadu. Master Hodo said, "Then please move to this temple." ”
Everyone followed Master Fadu into the temple gate, and after the end of the Yongdao stele forest, it was the Tianwang Palace. The red wall and green tiles of the Tianwang Palace, the dougong is painted, and there is a statue of King Kong on the left and right in front of the partition screen in the door. There are two big King Kongs on the outside, and the statues of the four heavenly kings on the inside, which are mighty and majestic. Bypassing the Tianwang Hall is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Master Fadu invited everyone to sit down in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the little monks under him sent tea.
Master Fadu said: "This time, I will go north and south to Songshan in Shaolin for a while, and I can invite all my fellow martial artists, and Lao Wei is very happy. Wang Qianyuan said: "Master is polite, I don't know when the senior monks of Southern Shaolin will come here, so that we can have a glimpse of the magic of Northern and Southern Shaolin." Master Fadu said, "It's the day after tomorrow." Ren Buji smiled: "Okay, it's another martial arts event, I'm really looking forward to it." ”
Mu Laizhang said: "This Southern Shaolin was originally from Songshan Shaolin, and the Northern and Southern Shaolin were originally a family, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty burned Southern Shaolin, so that the predecessors of Southern Shaolin were all immersed in Hongmen to secretly oppose the Qing Dynasty. Master Fadu nodded and said, "Yes, the North and South Shaolin were originally the same. ”
Wang Qianyuan asked: "Most of the disciples of Southern Shaolin are now from Hongmen, and most of them are anti-Qing scholars, most of them are anti-Qing people, most of them may be coming to oppose the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what the master thinks about the anti-Qing Dynasty?" Master Fadu smiled and said: "The four old men are empty, and they are already in their last years, and they are just concentrating on the study of Zen and martial arts, and these mundane things have long been ignored." There are disciples in the door who oppose the Qing Dynasty, and the old man does not oppose it. Wang Qianyuan wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he said: "The four masters are all empty, and they are highly respected, and we admire them." ”
Everyone chatted with Master Fadu and other monks for a long time, and Master Fadu saw that it was getting late, so he sent someone to make a meal for everyone and arranged for everyone to rest near the Shaolin Temple.
Lai Huiran walked out of the room alone, sat in the courtyard and looked at the moon alone in a daze. Duan Feng walked over and put a coat on Lai Huiran and asked, "Why are you here alone, the wind is cold at night, don't catch a cold." Lai Huiran said, "Thank you." Duan Feng said, "You're welcome." ”
Duan Feng looked at Lai Huiran and asked, "Why are you still sitting here so late?" Lai Huiran said: "I was like this when I was in Emei, once I couldn't sleep, I sat alone and watched the moon. Duan Feng asked: "I see that your swordsmanship is not mature enough compared to your senior sisters, how many years have you been in Emei?" Lai Huiran said: "It's only been two or three years, the master said that I am her closed disciple, and the master is the head of Emei, and I have to deal with a lot of things, so a lot of my kung fu is taught by Senior Sister Huifeng and Senior Sister Huishi, and Master often comes to give advice." Duan Feng said: "That's the case, it's okay, if you are in danger, I will protect you." ”
Lai Huiran looked at Duan Feng and asked, "Why do you treat me so well?" Duan Feng said: "I, I don't know why, as long as you are happy, I will be happy." Lai Huiran lowered his head and blushed when he heard this.
After a while, Lai Huiran raised his head and asked, "By the way, why didn't I see Sister Zhiqing?" Duan Feng sighed when he heard this: "She was captured by Meishan Ghost Ji." Lai Huiran asked, "Who is the Meishan Ghost Girl?" Duan Feng said: "She is a demon girl who practices Gu arts, she first captured the Zhiqing girl, and then put Gu on Brother Ren. Everyone knows that Brother Ren and Miss Zhixiang are a couple, but since Brother Ren became Gu, he has been thinking about Miss Zhiqing every day, and he is in pain. ”
Lai Huiran listened and pondered: "Love Gu?" Duan Feng asked, "What did you say?" Lai Huiran said: "One of him should be love Gu, and those who are in love Gu will love those who are in Gu, and once they think of the person who is in Gu, or once they are emotional, they will suffer heart-devouring pain." Duan Feng said: "So that's the case, then how to solve this kind of Gu?" Lai Huiran shook his head and said: "I've just heard of it, as for how to solve it, I don't know, look at his own creation." ”
Duan Feng looked at Hui Ran and said, "Miss Hui Ran, if Miss Zhiqing is Ren Unruly Love Gu, then I am willing to let you be my Love Gu, I have actually liked you for a long time." Lai Huiran buried his blushing head very low when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, so he quickly got up and ran away, Duan Feng sat there and watched for a long time.
The next day, everyone had just gotten up and had breakfast. At this time, a Shaolin disciple stepped forward to report: "Abbot, everyone in Southern Shaolin has arrived outside the temple. Master Fadu got up and said, "Come with me to meet you." Master Fadu took the head of each courtyard and all the disciples out of the temple to greet him, and Ren Buru and everyone also went out of the temple together.
When everyone arrived at the gate of the temple, they saw dozens of people outside, this group of people were monks and laymen, all of whom were from the door of South Shaolin. Master Fadu saluted and said, "Amitabha, all of you from Southern Shaolin have come from afar, and the old man is polite here. At this time, an old monk walked out of the South Shaolin, tall and thin, full of red light, the old monk said: "Amitabha, South Shaolin Hui Chan has seen the abbot of Fadu in North Shaolin." Master Fadu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Huichan, I can be regarded as waiting for you here, please come inside." ”
Master Fadu and the others invited the heroes to come to a large square on the right side of the mountain, and sat down as guests and hosts. Master Fadu got up and said: "This time I Shaolin Temple Conference, in addition to the Southern Shaolin colleagues, there are other martial arts colleagues, Lao Gao hereby thank you for coming to enjoy the light, if there is no good hospitality, I hope you have a lot of Haihan." The crowd said, "Master don't have to be polite. ”
Master Fadu said: "My Shaolin has always been the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, with the "Six Ancestors Altar Sutra" and "Five Lantern Huiyuan" as the scriptures, and the "Baizhang Qing Rules" as the law. Ren Bujian whispered to Guang Yuan below: "What is the Zen Ancestral Garden?" Guang Yuan said: "This Zen Ancestral Court is the place where the ancestors of the major sects of Buddhism lived. I Shaolin in the Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaochang three years Shakyamuni's 28th generation of Buddhist disciples Bodhidharma lasted three years to arrive at Shaolin Temple, the first transmission of Zen Buddhism, great influence. Therefore, Songshan Shaolin Temple is known as the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism. ”
Master Fadu continued: "This "Baizhang Qing Rules" is the "Yoga Bodhisattva Precepts" and "Yingluo Bodhisattva Precepts" that the Baizhang Zen Master believed that although they belong to Mahayana, they are the precepts formulated by the Buddha according to the situation of Tianzhu, and it is inconvenient to copy them in a rigid manner. Therefore, according to the customs, geography, and customs of our Chinese people, he drew up a new set of rules based on the reasonable parts of the Hinayana precepts that were suitable for my own country. ”
Master Hui Chan said: "Yes, my Zen Buddhism mainly belongs to the Mahayana Buddhism Rulai Tibetan School, which attaches great importance to the purity of nature, and of course will also be influenced by the Madhyamaka School. Zen Buddhism does not attach importance to the systematic establishment and elaboration of its own teachings, but emphasizes personal cultivation and mystical experience, and focuses on enlightenment. ”
Master Fadu said: "There are many heroes present who are not from my Buddhist sect, and I don't know how this Zen Buddhism came to be. Legend has it that the originator of Shaolin, Bodhidharma, passed down Hui Ke, Seng Can, Daoxin, to the five ancestors of Hong Ren divided into the South Sect Huineng, the North Sect Shenxiu, called 'South Energy North Show'. The Northern Sect Shenxiu is based on the meditation meditation method, gradual Zen method, and gradual cultivation of Bodhi. That's why it's called 'gradual enlightenment'. Master Nanzong Huineng is based on 'the heart is the Buddha' and directly points to the human heart, and becomes a Buddha by seeing nature. Regardless of whether you sit in meditation or not, you will become a Buddha, so it is called 'epiphany'. ”
Master Hui Chan said: "The Zen Buddhism inherited by Huineng lets people know that Buddhism does not come from outside, just like the Buddha nature of all beings. Those who have the heart of the Buddha know that the Buddha does not come from outside, and those who believe in Buddhism do not come from outside. It is this heart seal that Bodhama Dharma came to preach. Huineng pointed out that everyone has Buddha nature, and the study of creating an epiphany and becoming a Buddha on the one hand simplifies the cumbersome Buddhism, and on the other hand, it also makes the Buddhism introduced from Tianzhu become our native Buddhism. As such, he is a true inheritor of Zen Buddhism. ”
Master Fadu said: "Shaolin enters martial arts with Zen, practices martial arts and cultivates Zen, therefore, my Shaolin school is a Buddhist and martial arts practitioner. At this time, someone asked: "Master, why does Shaolin Temple practice martial arts?" Master Fadu said: "Not only Shaolin, but all sects and sects in the world practice martial arts to cultivate their own self-cultivation and strengthen their bodies, help sentient beings externally, and support the right path." ”
A monk from Nan Shaolin said, "Master Fadu, what a good way to support the right path." Now that the Tartars are rampant, all factions in the martial arts are responding to the anti-Qing Dynasty, in order to expel the Manchu Qing and support the righteous path. The master is the abbot of Shaolin, everyone in the martial arts admires it, and the North Shaolin is not anti-Qing, and everyone is waiting for a word from Master Fadu. Master Fadu said, "This one has the same Dharma name. The monk said, "Southern Shaolin is the best." ”
Master Fadu smiled and said: "Amitabha, for the anti-Qing thing, the old man does not participate, he does not object, I also have some disciples in the Northern Shaolin who are committed to the anti-Qing Dynasty, and these old men don't ask." Zhishan said: "Master Fadu is a high-ranking monk who does not stain mundane things, but there are many anti-Qing people among his disciples." ”
Then Zhishan got up and said: "Everyone present, it has been so many years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and my Shaolin has been maintaining the orthodoxy of my Han family since ancient times. But now the Manchu invasion, indiscriminate killing, the Manchu Qing Dynasty slaughtered cities everywhere, pity my Buddha mercy, even if my Buddha is powerful, it is difficult to surpass thousands of souls. ”
At this time, I saw a person get up and said: "There is no shortage of anti-Qing people in Northern Shaolin, but the family teacher Master Fadu is a high-ranking monk, the six roots are quiet, and they are not stained with mundane things. "This person is Guangyuan.
Zhishan looked Guangyuan up and down, nodded and asked, "Amitabha, may I ask the donor's surname?" Guangyuan said: "Master Fadu's closed disciple Guangyuan. Zhishan said: "I have heard that there is such a number one person in Northern Shaolin as Guangyuan before, and today I saw that he was really a young hero." Guangyuan said: "Pass the prize." Guangyuan looked at Zhishan and said: "It's not that I don't have anti-Qing people in Northern Shaolin, I and some lay disciples in Northern Shaolin have been running for the anti-Qing Dynasty, contacting anti-Qing heroes in various places, and running for it. ”
Zhishan said: "Guangyuan Gongzi said it well, Guangyuan Gongzi is not only a talent but also ambitious, and the husband should be like this." The poor monk has long heard of Guangyuan's son's outstanding martial arts, and today he wants to learn Guangyuan's mastery. Guangyuan said: "In this case, please ask the best monk to give advice." Zhishan said: "Prince Guangyuan is invited." ”
