Chapter 25: The Origin of the Monks
Wu Yugang asked eagerly, and the old monk smiled and said: "Don't worry, you see that the rain outside is a little heavy, it seems that the donor and the Buddhist family still have some fate, and there is no one here, let's talk slowly." ”
Wu Yu felt a little shy just now and nodded. At this time, the little monk brought tea and put it on the table.
The old monk said, "Huikong, get busy with your go." The little monk nodded and left.
Wu Yugang asked, "Master, where are you from, and do you know how to heal?"
The old monk smiled: "The medical skills are a little bit better, but it is a long time to talk about it." ”
Wu Yugang said modestly: "Since you know medical skills, can I communicate with you?"
The old monk said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wu Yugang replied politely: "Then I will listen to it." ”
At this time, Wu Yugang felt that this old monk who was a monk was by no means an idle person, and the old monk felt that Wu Yugang was not an ordinary person.
The old monk said: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and my parents starved to death at the foot of the Shaolin Temple. At that time, I was not yet a full moon, and I was later adopted by the abbot of Shaolin Temple. The abbot taught me literacy in his spare time, and sometimes taught me martial arts and some medical knowledge. ”
"And what happened later?" Wu Yugang asked after thinking that it was not that simple.
The old monk said: "Later, when I was older, I was found to have gone to the martial arts monastery to learn martial arts, and the abbot punished me to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, clean and organize the Zangjing Pavilion, and copy the scriptures. I read a lot of hard things here. ”
"So what have you learned?" Wu Yugang asked.
The old monk said, "Do you know medicine? I studied a lot of medicine. Wu Yugang nodded.
The old monk asked, "You are a Chinese medicine practitioner, how do you understand Chinese medicine?" ”
Wu Yugang said: "The most basic thing in Chinese medicine is to treat diseases before they become ill, that is, to teach people to learn to protect themselves and maintain their health, so as to achieve the goal of being in good health and not getting sick. ”
"Then how can you not maintain your health?" asked the old monk.
Wu Yugang said thoughtfully: "Isn't it just exercise?"
The old monk smiled and said, "Of course it is, but does Chinese medicine have a complete set of health preservation techniques?"
Wu Yugang said with difficulty: "It's hard to say!" The old monk said: "Buddhism has a complete set of exercises to maintain health and get rid of diseases, which can make people healthy, it is physical and mental exercise, not just physical exercise as you say?"
Wu Yugang asked in surprise, "What kind of method is that?"
The old monk said: "Buddhist medicine first pays attention to health preservation, there is no difference between Chinese medicine, and there are many complete health preservation methods. Buddhism's health preservation is about the five blessings, namely longevity, wealth, well-being, good virtue and good death. ”
"What does that mean exactly?" Wu Yugang asked.
The old monk said: "Human diseases come from many factors, which are divided into inner and outer edges. ”
Wu Yugang interrupted and said: "Traditional Chinese medicine is also divided into internal and external causes, the internal cause refers to the seven emotions of a person, and the external cause is wind, cold, dryness and dampness. ”
The old monk said, "It's pretty much the same in this regard. But the treatment is different. ”
"What is the way of Buddhism?" Wu Yugang asked.
"Buddhism is divided into physical illness and mental disease, physical illness is treated with physical disease, and heart disease is treated with mental disease. External causes are similar to the treatment of diseases, but diseases that come from the heart of the person are difficult to prevent. ”
"Then how do you think the diseases that come from people's hearts can be prevented?" Wu Yugang asked eagerly.
The old monk said: "Buddhism believes that people's greed, hatred, and resentment lead to the development of mental illness, which affects people's physical health. And everyone knows how to prevent external diseases from the outside. ”
"Diseases from external factors can be easily prevented as long as people pay attention to their diet and living environment. Wu Yugang added.
The old monk nodded with satisfaction and said: "To prevent people's mental illness, it is necessary to let people stop their troubles and achieve peace of mind, so as to achieve the purpose of prevention." ”
Wu Yugang asked suspiciously, "Can the troubles be stopped?"
The old monk said: "There are many diseases that arise from people's hearts, but Buddhism has Buddhist methods of prevention and treatment.
First, recite the Buddha and visualize the solemnity of the Buddha in order to achieve the state of eliminating karma and calming down the state of concentration.
Second, use the method of contemplation to eliminate people's attachments, remove excessive distractions in life, and make people calm and natural.
Third, we should see through the causes and conditions of human birth, old age, sickness and death, break through our own stupid infatuations, and achieve the goal of understanding cause and effect and natural enlightenment.
Fourth, we must have compassion, be kind to ourselves and others, and not complain about others, so as to achieve the goal of calming anger.
Fifth, the method of pranayama, meditation and pranayama make people feel calm and peaceful. Doing this can effectively prevent mental illness. ”
Wu Yugang pondered deeply: "It seems that Buddhist medicine and prevention are indeed comprehensive, which is hard to imagine. ”
The old monk asked Wu Yugang: "How do you usually maintain your health?"
Wu Yugang replied: "The master once taught me the Five Birds Opera, but it is very difficult, it is a qigong exercise. ”
The old monk said, "The Five Birds and the Five Elements Fist are somewhat similar!" Wu Yugang nodded yes.
The old monk said: "Shaolin Temple has five elements boxing that is both internal and external, have you ever heard of it?" ”
Wu Yugang said: "I know something, but how Buddhism is healthy, can you talk about it first?"
The old monk said: "The most popular health preservation method in Buddhism is exercise and zazen, which can cut off all kinds of distracting thoughts, and indoor meditation can adjust the body, pranayama, and mind, so that people can achieve a peaceful and natural state of mind, thus resisting diseases." ”
Wu Yugang said: "It's not difficult. However, the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple are famous, but what is the effect of martial arts?"
The old monk said: "The role of martial arts is great, martial arts can exercise the body, can make people strong and resist diseases, and can also defend themselves, eliminate evil and promote good." ”
"Isn't that Buddhism about to kill, can it still be cultivated as a Buddha?" Wu Yugang asked.
The old monk said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Cultivating Buddha is a way to get rid of samsara, and if your heart is ethereal and pure, you can naturally become a Buddha. ”
Wu Yugang asked suspiciously, "Do you say that people can really cultivate into immortals or Buddhas?"
The old monk said: "This is difficult to say, the Buddha does not not exist, but something that is difficult for people to understand, ordinary people can get rid of the suffering of hell and reincarnation when they cultivate Buddhism, and the abbot of the Buddhist family cultivates Buddhism to become a Buddha who guards the mountain and preaches." Tibetan Buddhism is a Tibetan belief, and those reincarnated spirit children are the reincarnated bodies of the abbot. ”
Wu Yugang sighed and asked, "It seems that there is really a god and Buddha in the world, but can you see if I can become a Buddha?"
