Chapter Fifty-Three: Truth
The Nanshan legal world became busy without warning, especially the various Zen monasteries in the realm, which were directly assigned by the deacons of the Nanshan Sect to arrange the altar in the temple within two days.
In the face of this inexplicable transfer, how could the Zen temple in the Nanshan Law Realm be happy and convinced, so they wanted to find a relationship to find the Nanshan Sect.
However, after the Eastern Prelude Law Monk showed the token of the first three halls, these temples that preached the Nanshan Law Realm could only surrender their hands to obey their orders.
In addition, in the spirit of making the best use of things, the first Hokawa also let these monks with opinions serve as a mouthpiece.
The news of the overhaul of this Jifeng Zen meeting was brought to various Zen monasteries and passed into the ears of the monks who put up orders.
For a while, the entire Nanshan legal community was discussing the changes of this year's Jifeng Zen Conference.
After all, for most monks, the Jifeng Zen Society is a place to listen to the great monks to the Buddha or to debate the Zen in a serious way.
In the past, only the great Zen master and the head of the eight sects were the Buddhas and the like.
At most, the outstanding disciples of the inferior temples like them can only find some fellow disciples to debate Zen in private.
But what can be found in the surrounding environment is either that the Dharma cultivation is lower than oneself, or that has fallen into karma and cannot get out.
Over time, excellent Zen disciples became more and more reluctant to communicate with their brothers and sisters in the Zen monastery, and only wanted to think for themselves.
It's not bad to practice quietly, but most young people, even Zen scholars, don't want to stand on a glorious platform and let the Buddhas know their understanding of the Dharma.
I thought that such an opportunity might have to survive to the realm of a great Zen master, but I didn't expect to see hope in the Nanshan Law Circle this time.
The wandering monks who placed orders rushed to tell each other, but they were not even willing to participate in the sermon of the great Zen master, but were so excited that they discussed what they should say if they could participate in the debate.
For a time, the entire Nanshan legal world seemed to come to life, and sentient beings were writing argumentative scriptures day and night, wanting to shine in a small range of Zen meetings.
The senior monk of the Nanshan Sect was originally worried that Fachuan's proposal would be too sudden and would be unacceptable to the monks who were already accustomed to the traditional Zen Zen Society, but he did not expect that just letting out the wind would make the emotions of the participating monks so high.
This also made the deacons of the Zen temple and the east and west two orders relax and show their hands and feet, and with the appearance of one altar after another out of thin air, there is really a sign of realization.
However, Fa Chuan, who heard about the situation in the world, was a mixed bag, and he was naturally happy that the remedy he had come up with on the spot could be affirmed, but the two hundred Zen machine debate questions were not so easy to write.
Turning his head to look at the three-layered small scroll on the side of the green lantern, Fa Chuan's face couldn't help but show a wry smile.
......
Outside the Yellow Wall of the Nanshan Law Boundary
Two little monks stood beside the huge arched door, holding a wooden sign with the word Fa Chuan written on it in front of them, and looked weakly at the monks who had entered and exited the legal realm.
Nanshan Sect said that it was big and big, and it was very small to say that it was small, especially just after this year's heartbeat, and the appearance of the circle and roundness was vaguely recognizable.
So even if the two of them behaved so strangely, they didn't have much suspicion, even if they were curious, after learning that this was the first Fachuan to let them pick up the deceased, they didn't ask more.
"Monk Fachuan is really a noble person for both of us. ”
There was no one around, and Tang Luo quietly sent a message to Yunxiu: "He changed the method of this Jifeng Zen Society, which greatly facilitated us." ”
The little monk who was obediently holding the wooden card didn't reply, and quietly asked, "What do you say?" ”
"You think, if there is only one main hall to hold a meeting, then the deacons and monks under the Eastern Order only need to protect one side of the venue, and now it will be changed to two hundred altars, which will greatly increase the compliance of the deacons of the Eastern Order, which will greatly facilitate our access to the scriptures. ”
......
Two days later, the Nanshan Law Circle
With the cooperation of the deacons of the Eastern and Western Orders and the Zen Monastery in the realm, two hundred altars were really erected in just two days.
This also made the invited disciples of the 4,864 temples and the wandering monks who came from afar with the Buddha country from all over the world look forward to this unique Zen meeting.
Compared with the traditional Zen meeting, you only need to enter the main hall and then listen to the great monks to make arguments and debates.
There will be 200 different shades of commentary, and all the monks who come to participate in the meditation will be able to choose the topics they are interested in and enter the corresponding altar.
As long as you pass the trial discussion, you will be able to participate in the sharp Zen debate in the Dharma altar, and if you perform well, you will be able to finally enter the top of the Dharma Realm and discuss the Tao Zen Debate.
Today, in the middle of the question, countless monks gathered in front of the gate of the Vinaya Mountain, waiting for the test topic.
......
The inner gate of the Nanshan sect, the first Zen temple
Among the scriptures piled up on the desk, there is a bitter face buried in the first seat of the Western Order.
The barrel of the pen broke again, and the curved ink on the gold silk seemed to mock his inadequacy.
It took two days to come up with 200 test theories, and the difficulty of such work was even more difficult than fighting.
At first, it was naturally easy, but Fachuan quoted the scriptures and wrote a test argument with lofty intentions, but it was simple to understand.
Some of them he looked at with great satisfaction, and felt that his Dharma cultivation was faintly on the rise of a higher level.
But this kind of freehand, after the completion of the eighteenth and twentieth exams, is completely gone.
After that, he had to rack his brains to write one or two essays that he could barely read.
Then there is the torment, the real torment, the written trial theory, which is either too difficult or obscure.
All of a sudden, progress went from rapid to tortoise-speed, and there were signs of slowing down.
When Fa Chuan wrote the eightieth examinment, he already felt that his wisdom was exhausted, and he would churn when he picked up the pen to know the sea.
He understood that this was a sign of the depletion of his spiritual sense, and that he could not write any more essays.
"In the end... It's still a failure. ”
Spreading out his palms and letting the crumbs of the pen slip from his palms, Fachuan closed his eyes in pain.
This vigorous change is finally because of his own incompetence... Failed!
"Whew~~~~"
Fa Chuan let out a long breath, rolled up the golden silk in front of him and put it away, and was about to stand up, but he saw the gate of the Zen temple suddenly open outward, and the sunlight illuminated the dim meditation room.
The elders of the three halls of the West Preface stood in front of the door with the scroll in his hand, and smiled at Fa Chuan in the meditation room with a smile: "Senior Brother Fa Chuan, today is the day of the two hundred Dharma altar trials, why are you still in the meditation room?"
Jin Silk took off his hand, Fa Chuan bent over and raised his head to freeze in place, and said in a trembling voice: "Three senior brothers..."
"Mobilizing manpower to change a big thing like a Zen meeting can't help you, but we can still make a contribution to a small matter like a thesis. ”
The hall master, the great monk, held the scripture scroll and said with a smile: "There is still some time before the question is released, why don't you take a look at the test papers written by the senior brothers and see which ones are suitable?"
In the eyes of the former first Fachuan, Santang is a place for the elderly, saying that it is a study of classics, but it is just a rice worm that squandered the funds of the Vinaya.
But in this time of crisis, it was these three guys who he didn't look down on to lend a hand, which made Fagawa faintly realize.
Maybe it's useless, but it's a great use!
......
Nanshan Sect put the question
Two hundred little monks came out of the mountain gate, with gold silk or bamboo rolls in their hands, and stood on the stone steps of the mountain gate in order.
As soon as the hour came, he shook off the scriptures, and two hundred test theories came into the eyes of countless Buddhist disciples at the foot of the mountain.
"All laws are one, where is one?"
"Is it empty or not empty?"??
"I can't do it outside my heart, my eyes are full of green mountains, why?"
"Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, thousands of miles of cloudless and thousands of miles of sky, how to clear the light of nature. ”
"Ask today's Zen Buddhism, what is the situation, today's Buddha, how to wait, so that the sect can be prosperous, climb the other side, who can see it, and say it?"
The 200 Paths of Enlightenment include the Tao, the Dharma, self-confidence, insight, Zen machine, wisdom, and vision.
When the grandeur appeared in the eyes, it made people feel dizzy.
I also studied the Buddhist scriptures, but no one had ever done such speculation, and now just looking at the topic makes people feel that they have benefited a lot.
Originally, in the monks' expectation, when the day of the question came, they should kick the choice as quickly as possible, and then go to the corresponding altar to try the theory.
Because the sooner you try to make an argument, the less likely it is that your arguments will conflict, and the better your chances of making the cut.
It's just that in the face of these 200 Nanshan Sect eminent monks, everyone had the idea of not wanting to leave, they just wanted to see some, and then watch some.
Above the clouds, the elders of the three halls of the first seat of the Western Order looked at the intoxicated eyes of the monks below and smiled.
The first Fa Chuan turned around and thanked the three elders: "If it weren't for the three senior brothers to lend a hand, Fa Chuan would have almost failed the visitors from all directions, please accept the senior brother's worship!"
"Why should the junior brother be polite. ”
The hall master, the great monk, helped Fa Chuan, who was bowing, and sighed: "The junior brother came up with such a method, but also for the sake of the thousand-year-old reputation of the Vinaya Sect. ”
"The hall master is right. ”
Elder Xitang echoed with a smile: "These days, the junior brother has locked himself in the meditation room, and I am really afraid that you will come out in a hurry. ”
"Shame, shame. ”
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. ”
The hall master, the great monk, waved his hand and said, "You must know that there is still the most important group of guests in the back mountain that has not been arranged!"
The purpose of dividing the altar is to reduce the influence of Yanshan's Zen machine Buddha, so no one has notified the treasure minister of the solemn golden body Arhat Buddha in the two days of rectification.
At present, the wood has become a boat, and the rice has been cooked, even if Yanshan is dissatisfied with the Nanshan Sect, he can hold it, but this is the relationship......
The first three halls looked at each other, and in the end, Fa Chuan gritted his teeth and said: "The three senior brothers have been working hard these days, inviting Yanshan Arhats to explain the changes in the Fa, and naturally the junior brothers will do it!"
"That's good!"
Hearing that Fa Chuan was willing to take over this hot potato, the three elders nodded busily, and then disappeared into a retreat.
Yanshan is destined to become a giant in the Buddha country, and today's events will inevitably become a thorn in the heart.
This kind of cause and effect, even an existence like the three halls of the Vinaya sect is unwilling to bear, and Fa Chuan can come forward, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
Blocking the right ones doesn't come at a cost.
......
Nanshan Sect Houshan Zen Temple
The first Fachuan knocked on the door of Yanshan with apprehension, and the treasure that came out of the courtyard was solemn and golden-bodied, and the Arhat Buddha seemed to be a celestial immortal, and the glass-like clear skin reflected the light, dazzling so that people couldn't open their eyes.
Just seeing it from a distance made Fa Chuan feel a little guilty, and he understood the value and correctness of Yanshan's paper Buddha, but it couldn't appear in this year's Jifeng Zen meeting.
Because that will inevitably cause a shock in the entire Buddha Kingdom, but this kind of thing, if you know it, how can the other party not understand it.
But he just dared to ignore himself, regardless of honor and disgrace, and wanted to tell the Buddha about this reality.
Compared with Yanshan's courage, he, the first great Zen master in the Nanshan legal world, is like a filthy and despicable villain.
When Yanshan approached, Fa Chuan said in a half-loud sentence: "Yanshan Arhat, because there are too many people participating in the Jifeng Zen meeting this time, this seat has set up a Dharma altar in the city, and has come up with different levels of trial debate questions, so that disciples who have come from afar can participate in the Jifeng Zen meeting..."
Because of his weak heart, Fa Chuan didn't dare to look directly into Yanshan's eyes from beginning to end, because he knew that such an excuse was too clumsy, and the thoughts in his heart could not be hidden in this light.
Maybe the next moment, this top Buddha of Wuxiang Zen Temple will open his mouth to ridicule and ridicule, then he will suffer it, don't give up this leather face, just let Yanshan be angry.
Fa Chuan did this in his heart, maybe he was too weak-hearted, so he didn't notice that as he spoke, Yanshan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"The Zen master is worthy of the great virtue of the Nanshan Sect, so that the rectification can make the Jifeng Zen debate no longer only belong to the top of the Zen Buddhism speculation, but also let the first Huiguo, the disciples of the wisdom realm lost can have the possibility of debating the Zen Meditation method, the possibility of the Jifeng Epiphany, if the Jifeng Zen Association can follow the Zen master's initiative in the future, it will be able to benefit the Buddha land in all directions, thousands of Zen temples!"
Yan Shan's tone was sincere, and he praised the changes of the Jifeng Zen Society, as if he didn't care that he was invited to the Floating Buddha of the Law Realm, and the painstaking Zen Machine Buddha could not reach the world.
"Yanshan Arhat doesn't blame this seat?"
Fagawa Qidao.
"The Great Zen Master is doing the right thing, why is it strange to be good?"
Yan Shan replied with a smile.
“......”
The more this is the case, the more complicated Fa Chuan's mood becomes: "Yanshan Arhat, your sharp Buddha is very correct, but it will indeed shake the foundation of the Buddha country, and I hope that the Arhat can take back his life." ”
"Great Zen Master. ”
Yan Shan smiled and said: "The reason why the real is real is because even if you don't mention it, pretend not to know, or even bury it, it's still there." One day it will be discovered, sooner or later, and that's it. ”
......
With the release of 200 test questions in Nanshan, the Nanshan legal community was completely lively.
Tang Luo, who had been guarding outside the city, threw away the sign with the word "Fachuan" written on it, and led Yunxiu straight to the legal realm Futu.
How else to say that the art master is bold, kidnapped two little monks, and infiltrated the Nanshan Sect, the leader of the "law" sect of Buddhism.
Along the way, all the top disciples of various Zen monasteries in the Buddha Kingdom passed by, and the curious and large number of eyes were like knives, which made Yunxiu, a master of disguise, panic, for fear of revealing any flaws and being seen.
On the other hand, Tang Luo can hold his head high and walk in the middle of the road with the steps of the six relatives who do not recognize him, and the monk next to him can look over and even stare back, which is called a righteous and arrogant.
But it was this high-profile style that was extremely high-profile, but it didn't attract any attention, so that the two of them staggered to the legal world.
