Chapter 441: On the Tao (1)
PS: At the beginning of the Tao, the thoughts are more miscellaneous, involving a lot, and the length is longer, about 20 chapters or so, it is recommended that you raise it first, and then read it in one breath -
Master Liyun opened with a few verses from the Buddhist Sutra "Mahaprajnaparamita" and recited: "When the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Freedom is walking deeply, he sees that the five aggregates are empty and overcomes all suffering. The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, which are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, nor increased nor decreased. ”
The Buddhist scriptures are difficult to understand, but the meaning of the Buddha is strong, and those who hear it for the first time can not understand it, but they can also understand one or two.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder: "What does it have to do with the emptiness of the five aggregates and the retribution of virtue and resentment?" Someone already whispered: "This old monk preaches the scriptures every day, I'm afraid it's off topic, right?"
At this time, I listened to Master Yun continue: "All virtues and grievances are illusory in hue, colorless and phaseless, and the five aggregates are empty, that is, the eyes can be empty and the heart is empty, and there is no virtue and no resentment. ”
Everyone listened in a daze, and their faces were blank. Xiao Yi already understood, and said secretly: "It turns out that in the eyes of Buddhism, there is no distinction between virtue and resentment. ”
Master Liao Yun expressed the attitude of Buddhism towards virtue and resentment, Fang explained: "Everyone in the world has a good heart, if everyone can treat others with the most sincere and kind heart, what kind of virtue and resentment in the world? Ignoring the thousands of troubles in the world, wouldn't I feel comfortable repaying only kindness?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Repay virtue with kindness, repay grievances with kindness." Buddhism talks about big minds and great wisdom. But then he shook his head and said, "It's okay to repay virtue with kindness." But if the good and the bad are uneven, how can everyone be a great good person?
Just as he was thinking, someone raised his voice and asked: "As the saying goes, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden." If you always have a good heart, you have to endure it all the time. Why should I be humiliated all the time in my life?"
In the discourse stage, if the listener disagrees, he can raise a question. Sometimes, the questions are so tricky that even if the Tao is profound, it is difficult to answer them at once. This is also the reason why the sects have prepared many disciples to participate in the discourse.
Master Liyun replied: "Have good thoughts and purify all sentient beings. Everyone has a Buddha in their hearts, and they often repay it with good thoughts, and the other party will eventually be influenced. ”
Another person asked, "But there are always some people in the world who have been powerful and good all their lives, and have not been influenced until they die." ”
Master Yun said: "Amitabha, good, good." There is karma in the world. Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come. The retribution is in the third life, the difficulties in this life are the sins of the previous life, and the sins in this life will be repaid in the next life. All good and evil in this life, whether in this life or in the next life, will be rewarded in the end. ”
When he was in Tallinn, Shaomu Mountain, Xiao Yi had heard Master Kong talk about cause and effect, but he was a little unbelievable about this "Fruit Retribution III" after all.
However, when he heard this, he had basically understood the way of Buddhism, and said in his heart: "Buddhism talks about the way of cultivating the mind. No matter what others do to me, I always have a good heart, so that everything in heaven and earth will be beautiful in my eyes. Then, with my heart and the heart of others, thousands of years later, I may create a great Buddha country where everyone is good. At that time, no one will do evil, and there will be no resentment. I can't understand it, it's just that we lack a heart to ignore grievances. ”
After Xiao Yi figured it out, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of Buddhism, and couldn't help but admire: "Buddhism purifies all sentient beings, and there is indeed something respectable and admirable. ”
After all sentient beings had no doubts, Master Liyun retired and ended his discourse. In order, the next one is the Yin and Yang family.
The Yin and Yang family commentators are still that Zou Heng. I only heard Zou Heng say: "Heaven and earth are angry, one is yang, and the other is yin." Yin and Yang inherit the sum of heaven and earth, and form a body of ten thousand differences. Yin and yang grow and decline, so all things are born. ”
Just when the sentient beings felt the fog cover of the clouds and mountains and were greatly confused, Zou Hengfang rushed into the theme and said: "The change of all things, the transformation of yin and yang." Throughout the changes of all things, there are two natures of yin and yang. Virtue is yang, resentment is yin. We discuss repaying virtue and repaying grievances, and its purpose is to revere virtue and resolve grievances and create a world of virtue. However, the way to view the sky, the way to hold the sky. Heaven and earth, yin and yang, synthesis and separation, are indispensable. Therefore, in terms of the yin and yang of heaven and earth, if there is virtue, there must be resentment. Therefore, virtue and resentment will always coexist in the world, no matter who is the Tao, it is impossible to achieve the world of virtue without resentment. ”
The sentient beings were in an uproar, and they were all puzzled. As he said, the purpose of repaying virtue and repaying grievances is to seek a way to create a prosperous world. However, the Yin-Yang family, as the second school of Taoism, said that it is impossible for the world to be completely free of grievances, and has inadvertently denied all Taoism. When everyone heard this, how could they not be shocked?
However, when Xiao Yi heard it, he had another thought. Xin said: "The saying of the Yin and Yang family is similar to the Taoist theory of 'the great road is wasted, there is benevolence and righteousness, and wisdom comes out, there is great hypocrisy'. Taoists also believe that everything in the world is opposite, and there must be resentment if there is virtue. However, while Taoism is quite opposed to such forms, Yin-Yang scholars objectively admit the existence of such forms. If you want to change the world, you must know it in real terms. Compared with the two, in this regard, the Yin and Yang family is much more pragmatic than the Taoist. ”
Moreover, in the Taoist view, as long as the heaven and earth return to the original state and reach the initial state, the world without virtue and resentment can be realized.
When the Taoist disciples heard this, they naturally disagreed with this statement, and they all liked to "make strange and roundabouts".
At this time, someone raised his voice and asked: "Since no matter what, we can't achieve the world of Shengde without complaints, what kind of Tao do the sons and hundreds of schools of thought talk about, isn't it in vain?"
The people all had these questions, and immediately fell silent and listened attentively.
That Zou Heng said: "Virtue and resentment are born together, which is the reality of heaven and earth. If you don't recognize the truth and try to 'be virtuous without complaints', it is like pursuing the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, and you can't ask for it, then it is really in vain. ”
This sentence was easy to understand, and all living beings immediately understood it and nodded their heads one after another.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, there are many people who advocate romance, active thoughts, ingenuity, and creativity. However, the things he pursues and the way of speech are somewhat detached from reality and too idealistic.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the Yin-Yang family was second only to the host to take the lead in arguing the Tao, and using the Yin-Yang derivation to assert that "no matter who is the Dao Law, it is impossible to achieve the world of virtue and no resentment after all", so that the tone of this session of the Tao is set, so that the follow-up commentators have to talk about the truth.
The people have preconceived ideas, and if the follow-up commentators say anything like "Shengde has no complaints", they will definitely be criticized by people and think that their arguments are grotesque and worthless.
Repaying virtue and resentment is a realistic thing, and it should be judged on the basis of reality. Xiao Yi nodded and praised: "In the past, I also thought that the Yin and Yang family used the technique of astrological divination to deduce ethereal things, which was quite strange and confusing, and it was unbelievable. I can't imagine that the way of yin and yang can deduce the development direction of all things in the world, which is indeed unique and admirable. The Yin-Yang family opened the argument like this, which is really a good start for the Tao. In this way, this discourse is more meaningful. "The impression of the Yin and Yang family in my heart has greatly improved. (To be continued.) )
