Chapter 154 To study Buddhism, we must ask the Zen mind
It's all flowing water, and it goes and never returns. After the matter of the teacher's mansion that day, another day passed in a blink of an eye, early in the morning, this was already spread all over the capital, yesterday, following the day of the master's mansion, the Jingguo Temple in the capital was also visited by the people of Taihua Mountain, but the things in the Jingguo Temple were even more appalling. Just because the disciples of Taihua Mountain competed with Jingguo Temple not in terms of fists and feet, let alone in terms of cultivation, but in refuting Buddhism. That's it, Jingguo Temple, which guarded the plaque of "the first temple in the world", still lost and was defeated!
"Haha, I thought that the Master's Mansion was already shameful enough before, but I didn't expect that this disciple of Taihua Mountain was still proficient in Buddhism, and he was also embarrassed by Jingguo Temple this time. ”
"It's just a pity, I haven't been lucky enough to see that kind of situation, I knew it was like this, I should have gone to Jingguo Temple yesterday!"
"I can't understand it when I see it, that is, I saw a debate in that Jingguo Temple a few years ago, and in the clouds, from beginning to end, I didn't even understand a word. ”
"I just want to see the embarrassment of those monks, who cares what kind of Buddha and Bodhisattva he is. ”
A teahouse in Shangjing, the business is not very hot, but today this teahouse is missing the figure of the storyteller, not because of anything else, I used to invite this storyteller, just thinking of some new things, to keep these tea customers, but in the past two days, thanks to the blessing of Taihua Mountain, I actually made some big things, that is, I don't need the tongue of the storyteller, these tea customers have not left in a hurry, you say a word, not much worse than the storyteller.
If you want to say that there are not 100 teahouses in the capital, there are 80 too, why do we want to say that such a place is not lively? Just because there is yesterday's protagonist in this teahouse, that Taihua Mountain Chen Yi!
At this time, Chen Yi was also sitting at a table and carefully sipping the cup of tea in front of him, and sitting opposite was his master Li Danyang. Listening to the words of those individuals around him, Li Danyang put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at this Chen Yi and said softly: "You have been with me for more than ten years, but I never thought that you still have some study of that Buddhism. But if you think about it carefully, it's also, after all, with such a father, he naturally knows more than others. ”
"Master said that Buddhism, Taoism, and Dharma are of the same origin. Chen Yi also put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Danyang and said.
"Okay, after eating this cup of tea, our master and apprentice have to continue on their way, after all, there are several more in the back!" Li Danyang said, drinking all the tea in his teacup.
"Master hasn't said yet, which one are we going to go to next!"
"Let's go to the Yunyin Temple in Hanzhou first! The letter said that Na Hui Neng injured Xu Sheng, who had come down the mountain earlier, and that was your Uncle Xu's own son, and your Uncle Xu had told him. Naturally, I have to go and see it early!" Li Danyang opened his mouth and said in a low voice.
......
Although the day before yesterday was frustrated, the days in this Jingguo Temple are still the same as usual, the only thing that has changed, that is, Elder Yuanshen, who lost to the disciples of Taihua Mountain yesterday, has been locking himself in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Jingguo Temple, and has never come out, even the breakfast has never been used.
On weekdays, the abbot of this Jingguo Temple has always lived in a simple place, and even some trivial matters in this temple have been handed over to those elders. It's just that this time there was such a thing in this temple, and the abbot Master Yuanming also had to come forward. Some things should also be said to Na Yuanshen.
That's the same, after those disciples finished their morning class, this Yuan Ming also came to the front of the scripture pavilion in the backyard of Jingguo Temple, and he didn't say hello, he directly pushed open the door of the scripture pavilion and walked in. But I saw that the Tibetan scripture pavilion did not hold the lamp, although the sky outside was already bright, but this pavilion is still very dark, but fortunately, this Yuanshen master has an unpredictable cultivation, that is, there is no need to use that light, just by his own cultivation, the six yin and six yang scriptures have already been filled with those true qi, that is, there is no need to deliberately support the Yin Sutra, and it is easy to see the scenery of this attic.
This scripture pavilion has a collection of tens of thousands of classics, not only those Buddhist scriptures, but also some eminent monks' commentaries. It is also the same, the attic has five floors, among the five floors, the first floor is the widest, but there is no book placed, but there are several Buddhist shrines, which are full of relics of some monks of the past dynasties.
Yuanming and that Yuanshen are also brothers who have been doing for decades, naturally understand each other, and they have never stayed at the bottom, and went straight to the top floor of this scripture pavilion, sure enough, that Yuanshen is there guarding a little light, looking at a classic in front of him, as for that classic, it is not a Buddhist classic, called "Vima Sutra", a Buddhist scripture that can be seen everywhere in the world, is the source of the sentence "mustard seed Na Sumeru" yesterday. It seems that this Yuanshen still has not let go of this matter.
The circle was probably fascinated by the ground, or thinking about something else, but in short, he didn't notice the arrival of this Yuanming. Seeing this, Yuan Ming had to interrupt and said, "Senior brother is still thinking about yesterday's events?"
Hearing Yuanming's words, Yuanshen also looked up, and when he saw someone coming, he was not surprised. Also, since I was young, whenever I had something to worry about, I always came to enlighten myself, and it was always my senior brother. "Senior brother is here. After Yuan Shen finished speaking, he continued to bow his head and look at the book.
"I've been watching it for so long, but I know where I failed?" said Yuan Ming again.
"That Taihua Mountain disciple is just a sophistry, where is the Dharma!" Yuan Shen's face suddenly became hideous, and he said fiercely.
"That's what you came up with all day of locking yourself up here, and if so, I'd have come a little early. Yuan Ming sighed softly, he grew up with this junior brother since he was a child, and naturally he also knows his temperament, and the so-called understanding wisdom root is naturally not bad, but this temperament is still too impatient, even if so many Buddhist scriptures are fed, it has never allowed him to precipitate much!
"Then senior brother said, where did I lose?" said Yuan Shen in a low voice with a face full of unwillingness.
"Sometimes Buddhism is not only in these Buddhist scriptures, but the tens of thousands of classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion have already been read?" Yuan Ming spoke, still with such kind eyebrows, and his tone was much softer, but his gaze did not stay on the round and deep face, but looked around, and then, when Yuan Ming raised his hand, there was no amazing movement, but from a bookshelf on the side, a classic book floated up leisurely, and the blink of an eye was also in the hands of this Yuan Ming. took this ancient book and put it in front of Yuanshen's eyes.
"I told you when I was young, you can't just write down the Buddhist scriptures, even these historical books also have to be read, if you read this book, you won't lose so badly yesterday. That's it, it's not like this at all, the book remembers that it is dead after all, and everything can't escape a single enlightenment, and the senior brother still has to pay more attention to this meditation effort!"
Na Yuan heard this, looked down, and saw that on the classics, there were three ancient characters, which were nothing else, just the name of this classic, called "Ancestral Hall Collection".
......
Three thousand classics, to study Buddhism, you must ask Zen heart!
