Chapter 465: Martial Arts Roots
"The reason why the five decays of heaven and man are also called heart tribulation is because the five decays of heaven and man are not due to problems with cultivation, but problems with the state of mind. Therefore, vainly trying to solve the five decays of heaven and man from the cultivation level is tantamount to seeking fish from the wood. Master Zhiran sat cross-legged on the edge of the meditation pool, and said slowly, "The state of mind is like a mountain, the mind is like water, and everyone's state of mind is different, why can some streams converge into a river and go straight to the sea, while some just disappear into the cracks of the rocks?"
It's not because of the water, it's because of the mountains.
If there is a gap in the state of mind, then the water will naturally flow into the gap.
Don't think that all kinds of distractions when making moves are just things of the mind, in fact, in the end, there is something wrong with the mood. ”
Li Fengyun, who was sitting cross-legged, closed his eyes and was silent, and Su Yunong seemed to have an understanding.
After Su Yunong proposed that the person who attacked Master Huifa might not be the internal affairs supervisor, or even the people of the imperial court, everyone felt that this was possible, if this was the case, then the matter was complicated, and I am afraid it would be difficult to figure it out for a while.
Master Huifa, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, ordered the disciples in the sect to investigate the matter in detail and look for clues. Shaolin Temple, as Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, has no reason to suffer such a secret loss without any action. Li Fengyun and Su Yunong are not disciples of Shaolin Temple after all, so it is not good to interfere too much in this matter.
The five decays of heaven and man in Li Fengyun's body are getting more and more serious, Du Ruyue begged Master Ran for help, and Master Ran is not a person who cherishes himself, so he readily agreed. I found this meditation pond and pointed to Li Fengyun.
"Master, how to solve this state of mind problem?" After a long time, Li Fengyun opened his eyes and asked.
"The problem of state of mind, as the old man said, has no complete solution. However, it can be remedied, although the effect may vary from person to person, and it is not very good.
It's like an iron pot cracking and adding a piece of tin. But after all, tin is tin, not iron, so there will still be problems at the crack of the iron pot, just look at the length of time. Master Ran replied.
Speaking of this, Master Ran took out a very old scripture book from his arms, put it in front of Li Fengyun, and said, "The piece of tin that the old man repaired the iron pot over here. ”
Li Fengyun looked fixedly, and saw that there were a few big characters written on the scripture "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra", and hurriedly picked it up and flipped through it, only to see that the sutra opened with the following words:
As I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the garden of solitude with the great bhikkhus. At that time, when the world-honored one was eating, he wore clothes and held a bowl, and went into the city to beg for food. and begged in his city, and returned to this place. After eating, the mantle is collected, the feet are washed, and the seat is sitting.
When the elder Subodhi stood up from his seat in the crowd, leaned on his right shoulder, landed on his right knee, folded his palms respectfully, and said to the Buddha: "I hope that there is, the World-Honored One, if you come to protect the Bodhisattvas and give instructions to the Bodhisattvas." World-honored one, good men and good women develop the three bodhichitta, how should the clouds dwell?
......
Li Fengyun flipped through the pages and looked at them for a long time without seeing any famous halls, then raised his head and asked, "Master, what kind of mental secret is this? Why do I feel like I'm telling a story, and I don't mention anything about martial arts at all?"
"Poof", Su Yunong laughed out loud and explained: "This is the "Diamond Sutra", it is a Buddhist scripture, but it is not a secret of the mind, on Luoyang Street, you can buy a copy for twenty yuan." ”
Li Fengyun was puzzled and said, "Master, what are you doing to give me a copy of the Buddhist scriptures? Are you trying to persuade me to become a monk, but that won't work." I'm used to drinking fine wine, I'm used to eating fatty meat, and I'm just going to eat two meals of vegetables and turnips once in a while, and if I want to eat this every day, then I might as well die. And ......"
Glancing at Su Yunong, Li Fengyun continued, "I still want to marry a beautiful woman, have a son, inherit the incense, enjoy great wealth and wealth, and establish an immortal career. Otherwise, when I am eighty or ninety years old, my children and grandchildren will be full, and Su Yunong will become a nagging old woman, and then I will put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, how about it?"
Li Fengyun was frightened by the Great Hui Dharma King at the beginning, and at this time, his mouth was full of firewood, and the carriage was running all over the ground.
Su Yunong's shy little face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "What do you think the slave family does? You are the nagging old woman, you are not a monk, what is the matter with the slave family?"
Master Zhiran smiled and said: "Fengyun, the old man asked you to read this "Diamond Sutra", but he didn't plan to call you a monk, if you really want to be a monk, what should the old man do with this good granddaughter for the rest of her life? Do you want to be a nun? You have this idea, and the old man still doesn't agree!"
Su Yunong didn't expect that although Master Ran was over ninety years old, his heart was like a child, and he actually made fun of her, and he was even more full of Feixia, stood up, and said angrily: "Grandpa, even you are bullying me, ignoring you, what!"
Su Yunong was said to be "plopping" in his heart, and he was worried about Li Fengyun's five decays of heaven and man, so he quietly came back from one side and hid behind a big rock to eavesdrop.
I know how keen Master Ran and Li Fengyun's ears and eyes are, how can Su Yunong's move be hidden from them, but neither of them has broken it.
Li Fengyun put his mind at ease and said, "In that case, why did the master show me this Diamond Sutra?"
Master Zhiran said: "Of course, the Diamond Sutra is not a martial arts secret book, but it is not right to say that it is not a mental method. ”
Li Fengyun was puzzled, picked up the "Diamond Sutra" and flipped through it, put down the "Diamond Sutra" in disappointment, and said: "What does the master have to say, I read this scripture, my eyes are full of Buddhas, Subodhi, World Honored Ones, etc., and what else does the three bodhichitta of the Anuttara Samadhita not know what to say, what does it have to do with the mental method?"
Master Ran smiled and said: "This is the method of the heart, is it only the method of teaching you how to operate the true yuan if you are like training the breath? It's just a way to teach everyone to see the world with their hearts, and the internal strength mind method is only one of them, and it also has its fundamental mind method evolved.
For example, my Buddhist martial arts are actually evolved from the Buddhist mind, and their roots are also the supreme principles of Buddhism. Although these truths seem to have nothing to do with martial arts, if you study them carefully, you can also find the context and development in them. They are all about each other.
Not only my Buddhist martial arts is like this, but also Taoist martial arts, which are unchanged from their sects, and their root is Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".
I don't know how to learn martial arts, even if I can practice to a first-class level, but if I want to go further, it will be extremely difficult.
In fact, the classics of Buddhism and Taoism are the best martial arts cheats, but sentient beings can't recognize the mysteries. ”
Li Fengyun was dumbfounded when he heard this, he used to practice martial arts, most of them were taught according to the teaching or secret books, and he didn't think about the truth in it.
Master Ran is right, everything changes from its sect, and after figuring out its root cause and understanding why it is like this, many martial arts problems will naturally be solved.
This is like everyone knows three seven twenty-one, three under five divided by two, but the person who really understands why three seven is twenty-one and why three under five should be divided by two, can really live and learn, because he understands the truth of three seven twenty-one, and naturally he can think of nine hundred and eighty-one, and know why three and five should be divided by two, and of course he can also launch five under five into one.
Master Ran's words opened a window for Li Fengyun.
It's just that Li Fengyun doesn't understand a little, why does Master Ran say that the "Tao Te Ching" is his, Li Fengyun heard Feng Dao say that the "Tao Te Ching" is obviously his own family, and a person surnamed Li wrote it when he was herding cattle, how did it become his?
Phew, what about the master, they are all over ninety, and they still swear and call themselves "Lao Tzu", do you think you are the king of the mountain?
