Chapter 52: The Buddha Says
"Little Monk"
The small pavilion was dark, and the owner of the small pavilion was also slightly gloomy, sitting behind the long table, and waved lightly: "Sit!"
"Thank you, donor!"
Xiao Yun thanked him first, and when he sat down, he saw at a glance that the old man's pen was written in block letters, 'Heaven is for the public'.
It's just that although it is neat and rigorous, it contains a scattered state, which seems to follow the rules, but it is arrogant and uninhibited.
In a word, the stubborn regular script was written as a wild grass.
Xiao Yun frowned, quite unable to see through this calligraphy, only felt that this calligraphy was written, which could not be said to be good, but also not bad.
If you have to say it, it is out of place and suspected of being a rigid one.
It was Xiao Yun who frowned slightly, not daring to comment.
The old man seemed to be aware of this, and asked slightly, "How?"
Xiao Yun shook his head: "The regular script shows the foundation of the righteous way, and the wild grass is the asset of the evil way, and since ancient times, good and evil are not separated, but the donor wants to combine them into one"
After a slight pause, he said: "It's just a combination, but the fusion is not very exquisite, just like bullying the righteous path and forcing the evil sect to return to the right."
"And this kind of practice is generally suspected of bullying and oppression, and it makes people frown and vomit blood when they look at it! Therefore, the little monk does not dare to comment on it!"
"Smack!"
As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, the old man threw the pen 'snap', snorted coldly, glanced at Xiao Yun, and said lightly: "Although your words make the old man very unhappy, but your words point to the core of this calligraphy defect, and I will spare you!"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yun again, and then said lightly: "I am also the first to understand the meaning of my cultivation of this calligraphy..... and sneered before he finished speaking: "But! Let the righteous enter the evil, let the evil faction return to the right, why not! In this world, who dares to say that he is really righteous, who dares to conclude that others are evil!" and then snorted coldly: "It's just a group of flies and dogs, wolves and gangsters! Peel off the thick black skin, all of them are full of white bones!"
Xiao Yun was speechless and couldn't answer.
After thinking about it, Fang Cai smiled faintly: "Buddhism has a saying, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, today's cause, tomorrow's fruit, why should the donor be persistent!"
"Ho!"
When the old man heard this, he glanced at it even more disdainfully: "You Buddhism is the most hypocritical! You talk about the principle of the cycle of cause and effect, but you are doing the act of 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot'! Are you so deceitful to me? That good person who has been practicing ascetics for hundreds of years has to go through 9981 difficulties, and it is difficult to see the side of the bullshit Buddha, and the butcher who cries blood, as long as he puts down the butcher's knife, can become a Buddha on the spot!"
After that, he snorted coldly and glanced at Xiao Yun: "Little monk, you say, are you promoting good or evil!"
Xiao Yun was silent.
This is a difficult question to answer.
Ordinary people are afraid to be ashamed.
But Xiao Yun is not
After a little thought, Xiao Yun said slowly: "Street beggars, broken hands and feet, good men and women, compassionate, give clothes and property, and recite Amitabha, but he doesn't know, the madman behind the beggar, seize the beggar begging, look up to the sky and laugh wildly, and then catch more beggars, cut off their hands and feet, and force them to beg for mercy!"
"I am a foolish monk, I don't know how to change, so I went to seek Buddha"
"I asked the Buddha: How can we prevent the madman from succeeding? Kill them, destroy them, or treat them in the same way?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "No, a madman is a man's desire, and the desire is difficult to fill, and the killing is inexhaustible, and the destruction is endless." And if you treat them in the same way, you will become a madman!"
"I was confused, and then I asked the Buddha: What should I do?"
"The Buddha smiled and said, "Let the good men and women believe in the beggars, and no longer give beggars money and alms."
"I was silent, closed my eyes for a long time, received the Buddha's subtle words, and bowed away"
"Look for good men and women, so that they don't give alms to beggars"
"No one listened to me, but they all denounced me as a faint monk, saying that they were doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, so why should they not give alms!
"I went back to the Buddha and asked, why is this?"
"The Buddha smiled and said, "Good men and women who do not know that what they are doing is evil, and they are insulting the Buddha by reprimanding you."
"I asked the Buddha again: How should I let him know that what he is doing is evil?"
"The Buddha smiled and said: Ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, after all the hardships and sufferings, and after being whipped by the sea of desire, you know that 'giving is evil', and you are the true Buddha!"
"I am enlightened! Seeing the Bodhi flower blooming, it is the wicked who become a Buddha!"
"Let me ask the Buddha again: Why do wicked people put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "The wicked know that what they are doing is evil, so they can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife!"
'Ding'
'Ding'
'Ding'
.......
In my mind, a number of dings and dings rang up.
Xiao Yun ignored it, smiled slightly, looked at the old man again, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the donor has misunderstood the original meaning of 'Buddha', the so-called 'Buddha' is an enlightened person."
"If you are enlightened, you are a Buddha, and if you are not enlightened, you are a demon."
"Both the good and the wicked are demons"
"But the good and the wicked are also Buddhas"
"This is the true solution of 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', the correct solution of 'everyone can become a Buddha', and the original solution of 'all beings are equal'!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunhe bowed slightly: "Amitabha!"
When he finished speaking, the old man was silent.
After a moment, the old man took a step back, bowed and saluted, respectfully: "Elder, the old Confucian is ignorant and mediocre, and the Buddha is abrupt, he will recite eight hundred sutras in the future, and salute day and night!"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "Donor, you are a Buddha at this moment!"
The old man bowed again: "Taught!"
After saying that, he got up, grabbed the words 'Heavenly Dao is for the public' and tore it to shreds, and laughed heroically: "Elder, what are you coming from, old but there, never hide it!"
"Thank you, donor!"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "The aura here is thin, and I listen..."
"Oh?"
The old man didn't wait for Xiao Yun to finish speaking before interrupting him, frowning slightly, and said, "The elder is here, and he is also the method of gathering spirits?"
"Exactly!"
Xiao Yun nodded, and wondered: "Why, the donor is unwilling..."
"Definitely!"
The old man said: "The method of gathering spirits is not expensive enough! But the elder is a true Buddha! But now it seems that with this cultivation, the elder will inevitably repeat the mistake of a false Buddha!"
"Oh?"
Xiao Yun was surprised: "Please make it clear to the donor!"
The old man corrected his color and said: "The elder doesn't know anything! When he was young, he once practiced with an ascetic monk, and he said that all Buddhism at present is not a Buddha, but a 'martial art'!
When Xiao Yun heard this, he immediately frowned.
After a pause, he shook his head: "Definitely..."
"Alas!"
The old man didn't wait for Xiao Yun to finish speaking, and when he saw Xiao Yun and Xiao Yun shaking his head, he let out a long sigh and glanced at Xiao Yun with pity: "Elder, you.... Alas, that's it!"
As he spoke, he sighed, "The Buddha is inevitably wrong!"
With a wave of his hand, a thick book appeared, and the old man's face showed pride: "The old man has read poetry and books since he was a child, as big as self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, as small as the history of the dynasties, the book of the sons, the words of a hundred schools, the genealogy of ten thousand households, and even street talk, miscellaneous novels, and so on! It can be said that it is a subset of the stars and the heavens, and a subset of the scriptures and history! All the obscene words and songs, and the words of the market! In the past 100 years, the old decay has seen and remembered no less than a million people!"
After a slight pause, he said proudly:
"And the old man is lonely and upright by nature, he doesn't like to flaunt the door with empty talk of learning, and he also hates the corrupt Confucianism, the debauchery of poetry and wine, the squandering of the Qinglou Teaching Workshop, the fake boasting of celebrities and celebrities, and the fawning of high-ranking officials!"
"It is to retire from the moment of eating, idle and miscellaneous, old and obsessed with classics, study ancient scores, take notes from time to time, review every day, dig the liver for paper, drain blood for the book, play the essence and do your best, after the rest of your life, nearly 60 years, to become this book!"
"This book is absolutely beautiful, with a size of thousands of miles! Wang Yang is wanton, full of ink and pen! Even so, its main purpose is to understand the essence and directly point to the gathering of spirits! Whoever obtains this book can lay out a great array of gathering spirits and achieve a sea of spirits, which is peerless in ancient times! It is a unique and magnificent work here!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Yun again, and said even more proudly: "Elder, those who came to ask for this book before were like carp crossing the river and breaking the stream, but they were all rejected by me! How can he be qualified to touch my hard work! And only the peerless assets of the elder can be respected by me and get my secret book!"
After that, he pushed the book in front of Xiao Yun's eyes, and said arrogantly: "The elder is very human, and the old man is willing to help the elder!
Without waiting for Xiao Yun to speak, he waved his hand and sent Xiao Yun and the others out, and when Xiao Yun and the others noticed it, they found that they had returned to the Chongwen Martial Arts Hall!
The old men in the small pavilion are gone, but the thunder in their ears is still gusting, and the heavy rain in front of them is still pouring!
