Chapter 6: Zen by the Pond (II)

Luo Tianchu bowed down again, and the old monk also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "The poor monk is cultivating in the Qing Dynasty, and suddenly he feels murderous and bloody, and only then does he know that the donor has arrived." The donor's face is full of anger, covered in blood, and after entering this clean and unstained pool, the murderous spirit disappears within a while, and a pool of pool water is exchanged for the donor's calmness, so the merit of the pool water is not small. Luo Tianchu said: "It's a pity that the pond water was polluted, disturbing the master's Qing Xiu, and I felt uneasy." The old monk put on a patched gray cloth monk's robe, sat cross-legged on the rock, folded his hands, palms up, and smiled: "Those who are calm can also be restored if they are disturbed, the source is not dirty, and the pool water will soon be cleared." Although the donor cleansed himself, he does not know that he will be defiled in the future?"

Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "If the master is talking about murder, I don't dare to guarantee it." The old monk said: "King Kong is angry, the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, the demon pestle eliminates all the demons in the world, and the heart is innocent and fights for the common people, a great merit." But I don't know what the donor is fighting for?" Luo Tianchu said: "The Jin country is brutal, and the world is miserable. The Southern Song Dynasty was weak and difficult to protect the territory and the people. The younger generation does not want to uphold the righteousness in the world, change the heavens and the earth, create another world, save the people from fire and water, kill the mob in the field, and fight for the peace of the world. The old monk laughed and said, "I'm afraid that what the donor said is untrue." Luo Tianchu said: "Oh? Why is it not true. ”

The old monk said: "The donor has arrogance between his eyebrows, his mask is frosty, his eyes are angry, and his sword is full of murderous intent. Those who ask for their lives for the common people should not be so temperamental. Luo Tianxin was arrogant at the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "Master, you can expect me." The old monk said: "Those who kill people will bear evil results if they sow evil causes." The donor's murder is not calculated, and the karma is deep, and I am afraid that it will not be rewarded in the future. ”

Luo Tianchu said: "The husband dares to do it, and if he is afraid, he will not do it." Even when it comes to the theory of cause and effect, there is also a matter to ask for advice below. The old monk said: "Donor, please speak." Luo Tianchu said: "I have a friend who has a good heart, has no quarrel with others, and has not done anything wrong, why is God unfair to him, but he has lost his dearest person, I don't know where such a bad result comes from." The old monk said: "The perpetrator is your friend's enemy?" Luo Tianchu said: "He is also my enemy." The old monk said, "The enemy is the cause of your evil, and if there is no enemy, there will be no evil result." Luo Tianchu said: "But that enemy is not right, not a good person." The old monk said: "Enmity itself is a cause, and it has nothing to do with good or evil. And the dead are the fruits. That enemy has also sown evil causes after harming others, and he will reap evil results in the future. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Naturally, we want to kill him." The old monk smiled and said, "Then you have planted evil causes again." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "Then if there is chaos today, and there are many wars, is it also a cycle of cause and effect?" The old monk smiled: "Exactly." Luo Tianchu said: "I wish to hear the high theory." The old monk said: "The official family does not cultivate morality and politics, and the people and money are lost, which leads to the decline of national strength and the lack of fighting spirit of the army. Jin Guo saw that it was profitable, and attacked it while it was weak, which was the result. Jin Guo is brutal and unkind, and he is cruel and murderous, which is the cause. The people's feelings were indignant, and they rose up to defend their homeland at the cost of fighting to the death. Luo Tianchu nodded thoughtfully and said, "The younger generation is taught." How can I explain how many soldiers died on the battlefield because of the misery of life on the battlefield?" The old monk said: "The reason for fighting the war, the reason for enlisting in the army, and the results of all the causes, it is not surprising." Luo Tianchu said, "What about the innocent people, why do they have to die?" The old monk said: "Cause and effect are immeasurable, and the causes of the previous life will be fruitful in the next life." Luo Tianchu suddenly sneered: "Are the people who were slaughtered all over the city sinners in their previous lives?"

The old monk said: "Maybe the people in the city have hurt many living beings in their previous lives, and those living beings are not necessarily people, and the chickens, ducks, fish and meat on the dinner table are all living beings. Those living beings who incarnate as golden beings in this world to take revenge are the collective karma of all sentient beings. Luo Tianchu laughed and said: "It's just a strong word, if someone kills me, do I want to kill him?" Just because I owed him in my previous life, I have to repay the debt in this life?" The old monk smiled: "It seems that the donor has the intention to embarrass the poor monk." Luo Tianchu smiled: "Don't dare." Could it be that the master can't answer it?" The old monk said with a smile: "The theory of cause and effect is broad and profound, and it can solve the mysteries of the universe, so how can it not answer the question of the donor." If someone wants to kill the donor, of course the donor must stop it with all his might. To commit evil is to do evil, and if the donor prevents him from planting evil causes, he is kind to him, to benefit sentient beings, and to repay debts is comparable. Luo Tianchu said: "What if I not only stop him, but also kill him?" The old monk said: "Then the donor will plant another evil cause, and the retribution will be even more serious." Luo Tianchu said: "You monks all want to cultivate to achieve positive results, may I ask what is the positive fruits?" The old monk said: "Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color." Clear-sightedness. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Redeem the younger generation is rude, you monks like to say some nonsense that you can't see and touch, what the master just said can be summed up as 'recognize yourself and get rid of distracting thoughts'." The flesh and skin are the color body, so the human being is also illusory. Let illusory people use illusory practice to realize their own illusory, so as to achieve illusory positive results. If all things are illusory, what is the benefit of cultivation? If good and evil are illusory, why should we care?" The old monk laughed and said: "Good, good, good, the donor can have the theory of being fit, which shows that he has a lot of wisdom, and a little bit of appropriation will achieve positive results." Why don't you stay here and discuss Buddhism with the poor monks?" Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The younger generation is ignorant and vain, which makes the master laugh. The younger generation's heart is still in the red dust, and they don't want to escape into the empty door. ”

The old monk said: "The donor has a relationship with my Buddha, but the donor doesn't know it." Putting this matter aside for the time being, the poor monk had another word to tell. The donor's killing and abuse were too heavy, and now he has been retributed, and the poor monk is willing to help the donor survive this catastrophe. Luo Tianchu "Oh?" and said, "Where is the retribution?" ”

The old monk said: "The donor's eyebrows are floating with evil qi, the skin is slightly translucent and red, scattered and uneven, and the turbidity between breaths is quite heavy, which shows that there is a strong qi hidden in the donor's body, which is eating away at the donor's body." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "It turns out that the master is also good at physiognomy, and it sounds like the younger generation is terminally ill." The old monk smiled and said, "The poor monk is willing to take the pulse of the donor to find out." Luo Tianchu hesitated slightly, thinking to himself that I met this monk for the first time, and it was not a relative, what if he had malicious intentions to hold my lifeline. The old monk seemed to see his worries, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the donor believe in the poor monk? It is better for the donor to seal the acupoints of the poor monk's whole body first, and only leave his fingers to check the pulse." Luo Tianchu's face flushed, and he said, "The master is kind enough to help me, how can the younger generation be suspicious." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and asked the old monk to take his pulse.

The old monk put two fingers on his pulse, and said in surprise: "The donor actually opened up the second pulse of Rendu, which is really rare." Luo Tianchu thought that he was really not simple, Liu Shaoqing took half a pillar of incense to learn about it, and he already knew it as soon as he came up. I felt a soft true qi coming from the old monk's fingers, and after entering the vein, it turned into countless gossamers and scattered in all directions. Luo Tianchu thought that everyone else was using a true qi to inquire about the context, how could he do it at the same time? After a while, the old monk had finished checking, withdrew his finger and said with a smile: "The donor has abundant internal strength, long qi and veins, and has such cultivation at a young age, which is very remarkable." However, as the poor monk expected, the donor is not right because of the cultivation of internal strength, although the progress is fast, but it also leaves hidden dangers, as the donor's skill becomes more and more serious, once the outbreak of the consequences is unimaginable. Luo Tianchu nodded and said: "Someone also reminded me of this, and said that as long as I don't fight anymore in the future, I won't kill people anymore, but I can't do it, I don't know if there is any other way to resolve it." ”

The old monk said: "The "Yijin Sutra" learned by the donor is the internal strength of Buddhism, and it should be combined with Buddhism when cultivating. Only those who are pure in the six roots, have no distractions in their minds, and are proficient in the Dharma, can comprehend the mysteries. Although the donor temporarily benefits from a moment of wisdom, but with demonic thoughts, the six roots are not pure, violating the way of yin and yang, there is no big problem in a short time, but every time you practice, the demonic thoughts will accumulate a point, and finally the donor will be devoured by his own demonic thoughts, and he will go crazy and die. The only way to save oneself is to put down the butcher's knife, take refuge in my Buddha, and use the method of compassion to dissolve the demonic thoughts in my heart and return to the right path. There is no other way. Luo Tianchu said: "Do I only have to live for another ten years at most?" The old monk said: "It turns out that the donor already knows." ”

Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The eldest husband has made great achievements, and thirty years old is enough. I will make good use of this ten years and do something big. The old monk said: "Doesn't the donor even cherish his own life?" Luo Tianchu said: "The flesh is a skin, what's the pity, isn't it?" The old monk smiled: "What the donor said is that the poor monk is in good shape." However, the donor has demonic thoughts, and the poor monks can't ignore it, and it is my Buddha's great compassion to purify all sentient beings, and it is also the responsibility of the poor monks. Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "Bad people like me are not as few as possible, why should the master waste his efforts on me, let's go to Pudu and others." The old monk said: "There are many monks in front of the gate of hell, and hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha." ”

Luo Tianchu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since the master insists, the juniors have nothing to say. It's just that the younger generation has something to do first. I don't know where the master's name and treasure temple are. The old monk folded his hands and said: "The poor monk Shaolin Huishan is." Luo Tianchu saluted: "It turned out to be a Shaolin monk, disrespectful and disrespectful." Thank you for your teachings. Hui Shan smiled: "Lord Luo Shi is not polite. Luo Tianchu was stunned and said: "How does the master know what my surname is?" Hui Shan said: "When the donor came, he was covered in blood, but there was no scar on his body, he was young and handsome, his martial arts were strong, and he had the style of a leader in his conversation. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Thank you for the master's praise, the juniors will leave and ask the master for advice in the future." Looking at Luo Tianchu's figure striding away, Hui Shan smiled meaningfully: "The fate of the poor monk and the benefactor has just begun." (To be continued.) )
