Chapter 228 Zen virtue has no Zen and then enlightenment, and Mingrui is clear and clear
Let's talk about the words of Zen virtue, Lin Yueru and the people present were quite puzzled when they heard it, but Situ Mingkong had heard the words of the old Xu seniors first, and turned his head and asked, "Old Xu, ······ you?" Situ Mingkong turned his head, but saw that the house was empty, and there was nothing, only a blank piece of paper remained, and the ink on it was written:
"The things that have passed the years, if you don't investigate them by law, you can be embarrassed." >1> Shaolin Treasure Temple, a thousand years of prestige, morality is not forgotten, and it is the right life!"
At this time, the Zen master had also entered the room, saw Situ Mingkong, bowed slightly, but hurriedly picked up the paper, and after reading the content of the book, it was the old tears, his hands were folded, and he murmured sadly: "Amitabha, the grace of the teacher, is greater than heaven and earth, the disciple must inherit the wish of the teacher, and the Shaolin Temple will be glorious and famous!" After the Zen Master said that, he wiped the old tears on his face with his robe, and then turned his head to look at Situ Mingkong and said, " Li Shaoxia, you must know the surface of the matter, and when you return to the temple, I will inform the monks and all Tan Yue of the cause and effect of the matter!"
Master Chan De said, turned his body, and left Mingrui Jiayuan. Situ Mingkong also went out of the door, and then tightened the door, saw Lin Yueru, stroked the soft silk with his hand, and said softly: "Ru'er, let's go back first, I will tell you slowly after I go back!" Lin Yueru looked up at Situ Mingkong, smiled, then took Situ Mingkong's hand and returned to the original road in the temple.
In fact, there are not many people who come here tonight, only some traveling monks of Sanliang and Lin Yueru and Master Chande, and everyone has returned to the temple at this time. At this time, the sky is clear and the moon is bright, and the soft moonlight is faintly sprinkled, and it is a peaceful scene.
Shaolin Temple, in the lecture hall:
Shaolin abbot Chan De, Shaolin two elder-level representatives of Zen Dao, Zen Qing master and some monks in the temple, together with that Situ Ming Kongxing far away gathered here to prepare for an unknown Shaolin secret revelation conference. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, everyone sat on the futon, and Master Zen De sat in the middle of the front and said: "Amitabha, the Buddhist scriptures say: 'All evil does not do all good'; And the sage has a cloud: 'If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong', which is also the truth. As the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Lao Qu committed the crime of deceiving the teacher when he was a disciple, you don't know it, Lao Qu will tell the truth today!"
"A long time ago, I was taught martial arts by a Shaolin master with the common surname Xu and the Buddha name 'Shangshan', and I have been practicing martial arts in Shaolin since then. Day after day, year after year, Master Shangshan is about to become the head of the Shaolin sect of the new generation. I was very excited, after all, Master was going to become the abbot, but I heard that there were half-human, half-demon weirdos in Dongying who wanted to be unfavorable to Master. I inquired about the fact that the half-human and half-demon was going to come here on the day when the master succeeded the abbot, so I entered the master's room the day before yesterday on the pretext of meeting with the master to discuss what to do, and finally knocked him out in the back and locked him in the middle of the temple!
"I then asked the monks to nominate me as the new abbot of Shaolin, but the monks were unwilling, and they all said that I had killed the master in an attempt to seize the position of abbot of Shaolin. I then told them that if there was an attack by a stranger from Dongying today, then I would be the abbot, and if there was no such person, then I would go down to the mountain gate, and if not, I would be handed over to the government. They all agreed, but in the end it was the strange man who attacked me, the abbot, and then I released the master, and when he found out the truth, he was very moved, and said, 'Since you have become the abbot for me, you might as well be the abbot for a while!'
"I wanted to refuse, but the master said that he was very busy and asked me to be the acting abbot for the time being, so I agreed. But I have been the abbot for a long time, when the master asked me to return to the abbot position, I don't know which string is wrong, I actually opposed the master, and I also taught myself a few treasures in the Golden Pavilion, the master left me with spare strength, but I made a cruel move, the master was injured, and then the master said bitterly: 'I don't have you as a disciple, I will not enter the Shaolin Temple in this life, the abbot is even more floating clouds for me!'"
When Master Zen De said this, basically everyone had already understood the truth of the matter, and some people among the monks of the temple said: "Amitabha, how can the abbot master be like this, alas, ······" Some people also say, "The original intention of the abbot was also to save people, in order to avoid disasters for our master, and finally he was confused by the time before he ······" The implication is that the abbot Master Zende is both emotional and helpless.
Master Chande ignored the comments of the monks and continued: "From then on, the master left a book envelope and left, and explained in the letter that I was the next abbot, and since then I have become the abbot of the Shaolin school, and I have never seen ······the master again." When Master Chan De said this, he suddenly felt relaxed and said, "Although I went to the Mingrui Garden to look for the old man, he left a note, and did not punish me, but asked me to manage the temple, but I violated the precepts. Zen Daoist brother, you accept the opinions of the disciples and monks, and punish me with a precept!"
The Zen master wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to walk around at will, listen to the words of the monks, and then said in a deep voice: "The abbot master of the Shaolin sect has his heart, and the deception of the teacher is true, but the original intention is kind and repentant, so he will not be punished for the time being." In accordance with the order of the previous abbot, the abbot of Zende, I hope that the abbot master of Chande can lead the Shaolin Temple to the right path and achieve the prestige of the thousand-year-old temple!"
After saying that, Zen Dao turned his head and said to Master Zen De, "Senior brother······ You ······"
Chan De smiled slightly, folded his hands to the monks, and said respectfully: "Amitabha, our monks are kind-hearted, and they will be able to spread the righteous way of Buddhism, good and good, ashamed and ······ashamed." After saying this, Chan De bowed respectfully to the monks.
Situ Mingkong said: "Okay, since the matter has been understood, I will briefly talk about it!" Situ Mingkong walked to the center of the hall and said, "I came to Mingrui Jiayuan by accident before, and I had a good conversation with the old-timers······ I also learned how to do it!"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard that the eyes of the former old abbot were busy, but after hearing that he was in good spirits, they were comforted again. Situ Mingkong continued: "Master Abbot, how do you know that the one in the Mingrui Jiayuan is your master?"
"Amitabha, my master's residence was originally Mingrui Hall, and the garden of his lay house was Jiayuan, he told me before, so I learned!"
"I see!" Situ Mingkong laughed loudly and said no more.
In this lecture hall, the lamps and candles are red, a piece of tranquility, sprinkled with moonlight, like waves, flickering like silver, like a dream, a few clouds in the sky, also dyed by the moonlight as if reborn and incomparably clear······
