Chapter 136: Buddha Nature Manifested in Jing'an Temple

I saw that these meditation rooms were all made of pine wood, and the wooden pillars of the doors were completely different from the splendid halls that passed along the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding came to the door of a meditation room under the guidance of Monk Yinyun, the door of the meditation room was not closed, and Monk Yinyun directly led Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding into the meditation room.

Chen Yaoyang looked around, this meditation room is not too spacious, the layout is also very simple and simple, there is a couch at the foot of the wall opposite the door, on the couch is an old monk sitting cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed. Above the wall where the couch leans against hangs a seal calligraphy ink treasure with the word "Buddha's heart" written, the strokes of the word "Buddha's heart" are round and powerful, and it is quite majestic.

On the left side of the meditation room is a tea table, on which are placed a teapot, two teacups and an oil lamp, the flame of which is flickering, and the figure of the old monk is reflected on the wall. To the right of the meditation room is a bookshelf filled with scripture treatises.

Monk Yinyun introduced to Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding: "This is the presiding monk of Jing'an Temple, Master Hefeng. ”

After Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding exchanged a few words with Master Hefeng, Master Hefeng saw that Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding were both seriously injured, and their faces were pale, obviously showing signs of blood loss and lack of energy, and hurriedly said: "The two donors, all the way, please sit down and rest before talking." ”

Chen Yaoyang was only in this dimly lit quiet room at this time, looking at Master Hefeng by the light of the candle. But I saw that Master Hefeng was thin, wearing a coarse gray monk's robe and a red brocade robe. Two white eyebrows hung down from the corners of his eyes, his eyebrows were kind, and his thin face was full of wrinkles. At this time, he was counting the Buddha beads with both hands and silently reciting the Buddha name in his mouth.

Monk Yinyun introduced to Master Hefeng again: "This is Chen Yaoyang, this is Wang Ding......"

Before Monk Yinyun finished speaking, Master Hefeng shouted a Buddha call and said, "It's okay, the monk should open the door of convenience." ”

When Monk Yinyun heard this, he responded: "Yes." ”

There was silence in the meditation room.

Suddenly, Chen Yaoyang's voice broke the scene in front of him: "Master, I have something I want to ask for advice. ”

Master Hefeng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." Chen Shizhu, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Chen Yaoyang said suspiciously: "Master, is there really a Buddha in the world?"

Master Hefeng counted the Buddha beads with both hands, and recited the Buddha's name silently a few times before saying: "The Buddha is not far away in the Lingshan, and the Lingshan is only in your heart." Everyone has a Lingshan Tower, so they can repair to the Lingshan Tower. Three, the old man will tell you a story. After a pause, he continued: "When the Bodhidharma Patriarch traveled thousands of miles from Tianzhu to Middle Earth to preach Buddhism, he met Emperor Liang Wu, and Emperor Liang Wu asked the patriarch: 'Master, I have done countless good deeds in my life, disaster relief and poverty alleviation, building bridges and roads, and squandering wealth with righteousness. Emperor Wu of Liang was a little angry when he heard this, and then asked, 'Is there a Buddha in the world?' and Patriarch Bodhidharma replied, 'No.' Emperor Wu of Liang's face sank, and said angrily, "Do you know who you are?" Patriarch Bodhidharma said that he didn't know, and Emperor Wu of Liang left in a rage. ”

Speaking of this, Master Hefeng looked at Chen Yaoyang, who was listening to his speech intently, and said, "Old Man wants to ask Master Chen, what is the purpose of Patriarch Bodhidharma's three answers?"

Chen Yaoyang fell into deep thought for a moment. After a while, Chen Yaoyang replied: "Patriarch Bodhidharma said that Emperor Wu of Liang did so many good deeds but had no merit or virtue, because Emperor Wu of Liang did a lot of good deeds and was originally immeasurably meritorious, just because he often talked about the good deeds and good deeds he had done, and it became the sin of oral karma, so the good and evil were counteracted, and the merit and sin disappeared together, and it became merit and no virtue. Yes and no?"

Master Hefeng nodded with a smile and said, "Amitabha." What Chen Shizhu said is exact, there is indeed a wisdom root!"

Chen Yaoyang continued: "Later, Emperor Wu of Liang asked Patriarch Bodhidharma if there was a Buddha in the world, and Patriarch Bodhidharma replied no, which was also correct. Because there is no Buddha in the world, if there is a Buddha in the heart, the Buddha is in the heart, if there is no Buddha in the heart, how can you recite the Buddha's words. Isn't that right?"

Master Hefeng stopped counting the beads with both hands, stretched out the fold and said, "Amitabha." What Chen Shi said is just like the formation of heaven and hell, it is all about the transformation of people's hearts and minds. If people are fickle, they are in heaven, and if they have evil thoughts, they are in hell. Karma is the same. After speaking, he made another noise of the Buddha's name.

Monk Yinyun on the side nodded and said to Chen Yaoyang: "Master Chen, then do you think there is a Buddha in the world now?"

Chen Yaoyang smiled embarrassedly and said, "There are both, there is none." After that, he said to Master Hefeng: "The younger generation is really ashamed! This third, why doesn't Patriarch Bodhidharma even know himself, this ...... This junior really wants to ask the master for guidance. ”

Master Hefeng counted the Buddha beads with both hands, and recited the Buddha number silently for a moment before saying: "Patriarch Bodhidharma has reached the realm of selflessness, so he can become a Buddha." After speaking, he made another noise of the Buddha's name.

Chen Yaoyang said "Oh!", nodded yes: "The younger generation has been taught." ”

Master Hefeng shouted a Buddha horn and praised: "Master Chen has a Buddha fate, this is the luck of Shanghai, how fortunate is it? Amitabha." ”

When Chen Yaoyang heard this, he scratched his head and said modestly with a smile: "The master's false praise has made the younger generation embarrassed. ”

Monk Yinyun said with a smile: "Why should Master Chen be modest, even the little monk wants to praise you a few words, but he was preempted by Master Hefeng." ”

Chen Yaoyang looked at Monk Yinyun and said, "Master Yinyun, won't even you come to entertain me!"

Monk Yinyun smiled and said, "Amitabha, monks don't speak. After a pause, he stood up and said, "It's not early, so let's not disturb Master Hefeng's rest." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding stood up at the same time and said goodbye to Master Hefeng together with Monk Yinyun.

Walking out of the meditation room, Monk Yinyun said, "I'll take you to rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Chen Yaoyang said suspiciously: "Don't you need to inform Master Hefeng?"

Monk Yinyun smiled "hehe" and said, "Master Hefeng didn't agree just now. ”

"Yes, why didn't I hear you. Chen Yaoyang was puzzled.

Monk Yin Yun reminded: "Just now, Master Hefeng didn't say that people who are monks should open the door of convenience. ”

"Oh, I see, you're talking Zen!" Chen Yaoyang suddenly realized.

"Well, it seems that Master Chen is indeed quite wise!" said Monk Yin Yun approvingly.

The two chatted for a while, and Monk Yinyun led Chen Yaoyang and Wang Ding through the Daxiong Treasure Hall again, and then went to the east wing.
