The old Zen master listened to Mao Zheng's words, and his heart was also shocked, how tempting it is to turn this imperfect world into a perfect world. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe it would be great for everyone to enjoy the glory of Elysium without having to be reborn in Bliss. Thinking about it, the old Zen master's heart moved.

Sensing that his heart had not moved for more than ten years, he began to move again, and the old Zen master was in a panic. If this continues, won't my years of cultivation be in vain? If I can't completely abandon this world of birth and destruction, how can I be reborn in the Western Elysium?

"You're wrong. All delusions, all distinctions, and all attachments are all obstacles in people's hearts, and only by removing the obstacles can we appreciate the great wisdom of life. The old Zen master said with a little panic.

"The master is right, delusion, separation, and attachment are all obstacles, can the master completely clear them?"

"I'm not moved now, as long as I practice diligently, I can definitely do it. The old Zen master said.

"Then I wish the old Zen master to break through the obstacles as soon as possible and be reborn in the Western Elysium. Mao Zheng replied politely.

After listening to this, the old Zen master closed his eyes, picked up the prayer beads, and recited the "Prajna Heart Sutra" in his mouth.

After the old Zen master's heart settled down, he said quite bitterly:

"You are a young child, but you are quite perceptive. No wonder Wang Xianggong will be impressed with you as soon as he sees you. Even I can't help but feel pity for you. I also wanted to take you as a disciple, so that I could pass on the mantle to you. But what you just thought is incompatible with the righteousness of my Buddhism, so I can only give up accepting you as a disciple.

"What you just said sounds more like Confucianism's 'Xiuqi Zhiping', but I want to remind you that although Confucianism is an orthodox official school, it is too obsessed with the word hierarchy and cannot achieve equality for everyone. Under the influence of the word rank, 'Xiu Qi Zhiping' is only to maintain a few powerful people in the end. You have great ideals, but you must not fall into the trap of Confucianism. When you can let go of everything, you can come to me again, and the door of Zen Master Baoning will always be open for you. ”

Mao Zheng was also stunned after listening to the words of the old Zen master, he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with the monks of Baoning Temple, so as to vent his grievances. But after listening to the old Zen master's words, Mao Zheng was also thoughtful, but he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the old Zen master's gesture to ask him to go out, Mao Zheng said goodbye, he glanced back, and saw that the old Zen master's mouth was still chanting the "Bo Ruo Heart Sutra".

Wen Xiaohui, who was hiding on the beam of the house, heard the conversation between the two just now, and was also secretly surprised: "The reincarnation of the spirit boy is really extraordinary, not only is the cultivation of spells much faster than ordinary people, but even the comprehension is so high. An old Zen master who has been studying Buddhism for decades was a little panicked by some of his words, which is unprecedented. Whether it is Buddhism or Confucianism, they don't want to snatch Mao Zheng away, he will always be a believer in my White Lotus Society. ”

After thinking about it, Wen Xiaohui made up her mind that she would often talk to Mao Zheng about the shortcomings of Buddhism and Confucianism in the future, so that he would never take the initiative to throw herself into the arms of these two families.

With a jump, Wen Xiaohui left the meditation room, leaving only the old Zen master alone in the room to chant Buddha.

After reciting the Heart Sutra several times, the old Zen master threw the rosary in his hand, opened his eyes and said to himself: "I still can't calm down." Can this world really become a pure land? Can you really enjoy the glory of Elysium without having to be reborn in Bliss?" the old Zen master was uncertain.

"It's impossible, I have to calm my mind, as long as I calm down, all obstacles will disappear. Bring me sandalwood, and I'll order a piece of sandalwood. ”

After the old Zen master said goodbye to sandalwood for more than ten years, he finally had to rely on sandalwood to achieve inner stability.

After all, it was a young man who didn't know what it was like to be sad, and after leaving Baoning Temple, Mao Zheng forgot all about the conversation just now, and jumped all the way to the direction of Jinling City.

The place where Wang Anshi lives is seven miles away from Jinling City and seven miles away from Dongshan, so that place is also called Banshan.

Mao Zheng originally wanted to go to Jinling City to buy some gifts and visit Wang Anshi again, but when he reached the middle of the mountain, he involuntarily walked towards the place where Wang Anshi lived.

Fisherman's pride

The flat shore bridge is hugged by thousands of hills. Soft blue and water lingering flowers and plants. The thatched hut has several slender windows. Dust is not available. There is always a spring breeze sweeping.

In the afternoon, I came to listen to the birds. It seems that it is early to listen to the chicken. Suddenly remembering the old people and now always old. It's good to dream. Forgot about Handan Road in a daze.

This poem was written by Wang Anshi in his later years, and it depicts the scene of the place where he lived in seclusion. And this is what Mao Zheng sees now.

Giving up all glory and wealth, just pursuing a leisurely and complacent taste, this seems to be excellent, and it looks very desirable. But it's just what it seems.

Wang Anshi gave up everything, gave up his life's ambitions, and had no only son, and happiness in suffering became his last consolation. If there is anything that makes him happy, it is that Emperor Shenzong is still pushing forward the law change.

Mao Zheng stepped across the small bridge, and several thatched houses came into view, birds chirping, and the crisp sound was so sweet. And Anshi, the prince of the awkward phase, stood next to the donkey, looking at the spring color of the mountains in a daze.

"Xianggong Wang, I've come to see you, I haven't seen you for ten days, are you okay?" Mao Zheng trotted over, with a smile on his face.

"Haha, it turned out to be Mao Zheng's little friend. I've had a good time in the past ten days, so have you had a good time in the past ten days?" Wang Anshi came back to his senses, turned his head and said with a smile.

"If I hadn't been forced to memorize textbooks all day long, I really wouldn't have been upset. Mao Zheng said with a bitter face.

Hearing Mao Zheng's childish words, Wang Anshi couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Let me tell you this, I didn't like to be forced to study when I was a child. At that time, I thought, what's the use of memorizing those textbooks? The key is to understand the meaning, and once the meaning is understood, will there be mistakes? So when I used to teach my children, I never forced them to memorize the books, as long as they could understand the general meaning of the scriptures, I didn't say anything. ”

"Wang Xianggong is so knowledgeable, then they must have learned very well. Mao Zheng asked curiously.

"They all learn very well and I'm very happy with them. Don't talk about this, Mao Zheng Xiaoyou came to me, is there something wrong?" Wang Anshi thought of his son and daughter, and a little sadness flashed in his eyes, but he immediately expelled these sadness.
