"The Buddha has lived in Yayuan for only a few days, but it has made this simple thatched house a little more Zen, and even this withered flowers and rotten grass have regained their vitality. Duan Qianchou praised Yankong while saluting in return.

Duan Jushi praised falsely, all things have their own fate, and there is a time for birth and death, this flower and grass all over the ground seem to be withered, but they are struggling to survive in the rhizome, how can it be the credit of the little monk. ”

Yankong pushed the fence open, introduced Duan Qianchou into the house, poured a fragrant tea, and after the two tasted it, the Buddha asked in a harmonious voice to the famous Wusheng Mountain disciple in front of him: "I don't know why Duan Jushi came to find the little monk?"

"It's not a big deal. Duan Qianchou put down the teacup, looked at Yankong and asked, "I just want to ask the Buddha if he has cultivated the Heart Sutra without suffering and silence, has he ever met a successor?"

In Zen Buddhism, the practice of each Heart Sutra is different, and the reason why Yankong, who cultivates the Heart Sutra without Suffering, is so respected as a Buddha, is precisely because the school of this Heart Sutra has long been submerged, and Yankong is purely based on its own understanding and wisdom, and reopens the inheritance of the Heart Sutra without Suffering, which has a very different meaning in Zen Buddhism.

Therefore, the birth and walking of Yankong is not only to see the heavens and the earth and all sentient beings, but also to find the spirit child of Zen Buddhism, so as to carry forward the school of the Heart Sutra of Silence without Suffering.

This is also the reason why the Buddha Yankong preaches the scriptures everywhere he goes, in addition to preaching the world and spreading Zen thoughts, the more important thing is to find the mantle of the heir.

"Fate has not yet arrived. ”

Faced with Duan Qianchou's question, Yankong only responded lightly with just four words, but the other party was shocked.

"The Buddha has traveled and preached for several years, traveled around ten states and eight counties, and has not met anyone with wisdom?"

"I have met a stunningly talented spirit boy boy, but the red dust is amorous, the beauty is graceful, and it is easy to see the air crash, and there is always some fate missing. ”

Speaking of this, Yankong is also a little regretful, but along the way, he has met some young people with extraordinary wisdom, but as long as he proposes to take him out of the world to cultivate, he will be strongly opposed by his family, and most of the young people are more dependent on the family, so he traveled all over ten states and eight counties, and Yankong did not find a successor who could inherit the mantle of the Heart Sutra of Silence without Suffering.

"What about yesterday's sermon?" Duan Qianchou asked again: "I heard that yesterday the Buddha preached, a hundred birds chirped in unison, and the Sanskrit sound was like a pillar, and many disciples of the Heavenly Sect had already comprehended the meaning of Zen, why not let the Wuxiang Zen Temple come forward, say Xiang Xiang, and extradite these disciples who are related to the Buddha?"

The so-called comprehension of Zen is to be taken away from the direction of martial arts, even if these disciples are highly qualified, they are of no value to Tianzong, it is nothing more than to do some exchange of interests, I believe that Wuxiang Zen Temple will not be stingy.

But when Yankong heard this, he waved his hand and said: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others, and Zen Buddhism will not extradite disciples of other sects. ”

Digging people into the corner of the wall, it is always a great plan of the sect, even if it is as strong as the Wuxiang Zen Temple, it does not dare to cross the thunder pool, after all, Zen Buddhism has a strong temptation for martial artists who are not strong in general beliefs.

You say that others have realized Zen, but in the eyes of the other party, they may be bewitched by the Dharma and the Dharma, and this kind of thing is not clear to the person concerned, let alone others.

Therefore, before going down the mountain, the Buddha repeatedly admonished Yankong in his heart.

"The Buddha is high-winded and bright, but Duan is in a hurry for quick success. Duan Qianchou smiled and confessed, and then said: "What about these sons of various states and departments in Longzhou, have the Buddhas ever seen the list, whether there are talents who can enter the eyes of the Buddhas, Duan Mou, a disciple of other mountains, can't be the master, but if he wants to worship the disciples of Dapeng Mountain, Duan can give a few Buddhas." ”

Yankong shook his head, although he was a little tempted by Duan Qianchou's proposal, but in the end he still declined: "Duan Jushi is kind to the poor monk's heart, but even if these sons who were invited to participate in the martial arts conference yearn for the Buddha and have the root of wisdom, after all, they have passed the best age of worshipping the Buddha, the poor monk's Zen method has just begun, and his cultivation is limited, if he can't extradite the disciple to the other side, how can he break the foundation." ”

Zen practice is different from general exercises, to be precise, Zen Gong is a special attribute, the so-called Zen Buddhism is the school that develops this attribute to the extreme, and the final height that Zen practice can reach is closely related to your spiritual realm, so not only the root bone should be good, but the wisdom root and understanding are also extremely important.

Most of the sons of the family who can be sent to participate in the martial arts conference are twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and if they change to Zen Buddhism, it means that they have to cultivate themselves to the fullest extent and re-cultivate, not to mention how well they understand the root of wisdom, but to say that after they should practice Zen Gong, if they want to restore their current cultivation to the current realm, they will have to work hard for three or five years.

At the age of thirty-two or thirteen, the ordination monk who is at the peak of his cultivation sounds very beautiful, but the general Zen monk who holds the precepts and the monk who cares for the monastery, even if he has extremely average qualifications and understanding, as long as he does not do his homework to the thirty-two or three, he has already transformed into the peak of mortality, and he has been practicing Zen for more than 20 years, and his combat power will be several times or even more than ten times that of the cultivator.

Even with Yankong's self-confidence, he didn't dare to say that he was able to realize the transformation of the cultivator, after all, the boat to the other side had a limited capacity, and he didn't want the followers to sink into the boundless sea of suffering, which would only increase his karma.

The Buddha's compassion really made Duan admire. Duan Qianchou's words come from the heart, Wuxiang Zen Temple, as the leader of Zen Buddhism, I don't know how many ascetic monks have traveled, and the reason why Zen Buddhism is not very high in the Holy Land Heavenly Sect is because many wandering monks forcibly accept the sons of the family as disciples in the name of preaching.

After ten years of wandering, hundreds of Dharma protectors were brought back to the mountain gate, and almost a Zen temple could be formed, but how many of these Dharma protectors could obtain the status of an arhat, perhaps not even half of them.

It's easy to say not to do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, but when it's really linked to your own interests, even these monks will do things that are quick for quick success, and Duan Qianchou is not surprised at all.

Therefore, the attitude of the Buddha is admirable, otherwise with his signboard of the little saint king, I don't know how many believers and believers he has received at this time, how can he still be as alone as when he came out of the mountain.

"It seems that the Heart Sutra of Silence Without Suffering is really a wonderful mantra, otherwise it would not have cost the Buddha years and would not have been passed on. Duan Qianchou praised Yankong in his mouth, as if he was sighing for the difficulty of finding a successor to the Buddha.

The Buddha is also a human being, and he also has feelings, although he has only met a few times with the first disciple of the Dapeng Mountain, but the other party is so concerned about his own affairs, Yankong is still a little grateful, and replied with a smile: "Everything has a way, it is all the cause and the harmony, the cause arises when the fate arises, and the fate is not there, nothing else." Although the little monk has not seen the heir spirit child for several years, he has met many laymen, which is also fate. ”
