079 Episode No Difference Before the Buddha, Zen in the World (I)
Feng Junzi's tone was obviously low: "There is no one who has not made any mistakes! I have said enough today...... Don't mention these things to me again, I don't want to say them...... Today's main point is to point you out of delusion, and I've already said a lot about the way to break delusion, what else do you want to know? If there is nothing else, I'm leaving. [Reading Network]"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't ask, don't ask. Can you say a little more about breaking the delusion? I vaguely felt like I was about to comprehend. ”
Wind Gentleman: "You're about to understand? I've never heard of anyone so fast! I think I didn't understand until I looked back." Well, I'll ask you a few questions, and you'll think for yourself. ”
"Ask any questions. ”
Feng Junzi: "The cultivation dojo in Wucheng is a sect of the sect and Qiyunguan Guangjiao Temple and Geju Jizan Living Buddha, you should have heard about it, you told me." ”
I didn't expect him to ask me this kind of question. There is a legend about Qiyun Temple, that is, there were Red Guards who rushed into Qiyun Temple, demolished the Taoist Temple, and also threw the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch off the cliff. Ten years ago, the government rebuilt the Qiyun Temple, and all the missing Taoist priests came back overnight. These stories should be known to the gentleman, and I told them again.
After listening to this, he asked me: "The Taoist priests of Qiyunguan are Zhengyi disciples, and most of them have supernatural powers. I wonder why someone destroyed the Taoist temple and guarded the real people back then, why would they order to avoid it and not fight against it?"
If the Taoist priests of Qiyunguan really dared to fight against the Red Guards, I am afraid that it would cause a great chaos, and when the time comes, the army will enter Qiyun Mountain, and it may not be the force of the Xiuzhen sect. Besides, there are rules in the cultivation world, and you can't easily use supernatural powers on ordinary people. I was thinking about how to answer the Wind Gentleman, but instead of waiting for me to answer, he continued: "Ten years later, the Zhengyi Gate will still be the Zhengyi Gate, and the Qiyun View will still be the Qiyun View. Is it the right thing that has changed? It's not the world that has changed. ...... Putting this question aside, let's talk about the Living Buddha and the Guangjiao Temple. ”
The story of the living Buddha is not a legend, so it can be said that most people in Wucheng know it. Twenty years ago, his old man's temple in western Sichuan was destroyed, and he traveled alone to Wucheng Guangjiao Temple. I think that when Guangjiao Temple was most depressed, he was the only monk. Shang Yunfei has been able to get married to the Living Buddha since he was a child, and it is unpredictable. I also briefly talked about this experience in Guangjiao Temple.
After I finished speaking, the wind gentleman muttered: "At the beginning, Guangjiao Temple only had four cold walls, two remnant towers, and one lonely monk. Today's Guangjiao Temple is thriving, and the old living Buddha is standing tall! Is the living Buddha changing? Not the living Buddha is still the living Buddha. ...... The world is like vain, and the way of heaven is constant. I've already said pretty much this way of destroying delusion, and I can't say it anymore. ...... Shi Ye, don't worry, in two days, the abbot of the Fayuan of Jiulin Zen Monastery will open the altar to give a lecture. Fa Cheng and I have an agreement that what you hear in Jiulin Zen Monastery will be relayed to me word for word. On the day you listen to the scriptures, we will meet at the Zhuangyuan Bridge at night. ”
......
The next day, Ah Xiu still didn't come to class.
On the third day, Ah Xiu still didn't come to class. In the morning, I heard from Teacher Liu that Ah Xiu's cousin had asked her for leave, saying that her father was sick and asked her to go back and see how long it would take to come back. Sister Ziying, who is not the father of Ah Xiu, is obviously lying! Why haven't I heard about it yet?
At noon, I hurried to the noodle restaurant to ask Sister Ziying what was going on. When Sister Ziying saw me, she hurriedly pulled me to the back kitchen: "Ono had an accident with Axiu last night!"
"What's going on?What's wrong with Ah Xiu?Is it dangerous?" I instinctively thought of what happened last time in Qiyunguan, could it be that Ah Xiu was in trouble again?
Sister Ziying's expression was not very anxious, but she was a little worried: "It's not dangerous, it's just that I have to suffer for a few days! Someone came to my house last night and took her away." ”
"Who can take Ah Xiu away? Ah Xiu will go with him? You didn't stop you!"
Sister Ziying smiled bitterly: "None of us dare to stop this person! Guess who he is-it's the Wind Gentleman! He seemed a little unhappy when he came, and he was still carrying something in his hand. Seeing this thing, Ah Xiu and I didn't dare to talk much. ”
"What's that?"
Sister Ziying: "It's Hei Ruyi." ”
I only smiled wryly when I heard it. Black Ruyi is in the hands of the Wind Gentleman, and only I know it. But the last time I recited the "Transformation Chapter" in the mountain temple, the gentleman recited the "Transformation Chapter", and he held the black Ruyi in his hand, and Sister Ziying and Xiu Xiu should have seen it at that time. But they were very well-behaved and consciously kept this secret. The last time Mr. Feng said that Ah Xiu's behavior towards me was not allowed in the world, it seemed that he still couldn't help but punish her after all.
Although Mr. Feng didn't let me call him Master, he still regarded me as a disciple unconsciously. In the cultivation world, Ah Xiu's behavior towards me is a big taboo for the master, and he, who is a master, can't ignore it, so he still cares about it. I knew that the Wind Gentleman wouldn't do anything to Ah Xiu, but I was still a little worried and asked Sister Ziying: "Did the Wind Gentleman say where he wanted Ah Xiu to go, and when will she be released?"
Sister Ziying: "If he doesn't say it, I can guess who can control Ah Xiu?" He must have sent her to the green snow of Zhaoting Mountain and trapped her in the Divine Wood Forest. I'm afraid it's up to you when Ah Xiu will come back. ”
"Look at me?"
Sister Ziying lowered her head and said, "When the Wind Gentleman was leaving, warn me not to let me touch you until I see Liu Yiyi......" She was a little shy and a little aggrieved when she spoke.
I can more or less guess what the Wind Gentleman did to do this. If you want to see Liu Yiyi, you have to wait until I break my delusion. There is another meaning in this, he specially told me that night that I could not live up to Liu Yiyi's affection, and it seemed that he intended to match Liu Yiyi and me. This gentleman is a little too wide, does he still want to arrange an arranged marriage?
I kind of understood that he wanted to see his two disciples together. Ah Xiu intervened first to "drugged **", of course I Feng Junzi was not happy, he was angry for Liu Yiyi. Fortunately, he didn't interfere with other things in my world, and I had to go with him. If you want him to let Ah Xiu go, you have to wait for me to take Liu Yiyi out first. Although the wind gentleman said that he was not in a hurry to wait for me to break his delusion, he was actually taking hostages and urging me. The Wind Gentleman is a bit angry about doing this, he himself is right, he is a second-rate temperament.
"Sister Ziying, do you also know about Lu Xue?Have you seen her?" I have always suspected that the woman who made the wind gentleman "**" on Zhaoting Mountain is Lu Xue. But I haven't been able to find out that now that Sister Ziying mentioned Luxue, I also want to ask.
Sister Ziying: "Of course I've seen her, I practiced at Feidu Peak back then, and she has been practicing in Zhaoting Mountain for more than a thousand years. We knew each other three hundred years ago. Recently, I heard that she often meets with the Wind Gentleman, and if you want to control A Xiu, the Wind Gentleman is probably the only way to find her. ”
It's good that I can't see Ah Xiu for a while, otherwise I really don't know how to get along with her. Don't think about it for the time being, I'm going to Jiulin Zen Temple to listen to the "Diamond Sutra" soon. I don't know what the hell Feng Junzi and Fa Cheng are doing.
......
Monk Fa Cheng personally sent a document ticket, which is equivalent to a certificate for entering and leaving the lecture hall of Jiulin Zen Temple. Last time, the Living Buddha invited me to go to Guangjiao Temple, and my monk Yunfei was stopped outside the gate by a temporary worker from the Tourism Bureau to collect tickets, and the cultivators all over the world saw it in their eyes, making a joke. The Jiulin Zen Monastery obviously knew the joke as well, so this time it sent the pass in advance. Fa Cheng sent the things to the noodle shop, I was not in him at that time, and left it to Sister Ziying to explain that she must hand it over to me.
Looking at this pass, I suddenly remembered the story about this Facheng monk. There are some strange legends in every place, and when I was a child, I heard an adult tell a story about an old lady who went to the grain station to buy rice and oil. The staff at the grain station asked her how many catties of rice she bought? The old lady said that she would buy as many catties as she wanted. As a result, the old lady went to the scale, and the weight was more than 200 catties, and the grain station sold her so much rice. After buying rice, she asked her how many catties of oil she bought? The old lady still said that she would buy as many catties as she wanted, and when she got on the scale, she bought five catties of oil when it became five catties heavy.
When I was a child, I thought it was an adult talking and playing, but later Sister Ziying told me that it was true, and this old lady was Fa Cheng. Of course, after decades of circulating stories in the market, the little monk became an old lady in people's mouths. Why is it said that it is a little monk? Because Fa Cheng was still young at that time, he followed his senior brother to the market to buy rice and noodles, and someone teased him and asked the little monk how much rice and how much noodles he wanted to buy? The little monk replied: "I will buy as much as you weigh me!" As a result, this story was left. That was a long time ago. At that time, Fa Cheng's elder brother Fahai had not yet retreated, at least more than sixty years ago.
As mentioned earlier, during the Cultural Revolution, Wucheng's monasteries, such as Guangjiao Temple and Qiyun Temple, were greatly impacted, but the Jiulin Monastery was an exception. The reason is largely because of one person - Master Faling, the former abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple. Fifty-nine years ago, the Fahai Zen Master of Jiulin Zen Monastery retreated into meditation and practiced for decades, and at that time passed the position of abbot to his second junior brother Fa Ling. This Dharma Ling Zen Master has a compassionate mind, but his nature is like a fire, not like a monk.
In the late thirties and early forties, the Japanese invasion of the Japanese War was in full swing, and the people in Wucheng were displaced. When the monk Faling saw the national disaster, he was unwilling to defend the Buddha seat in the temple, and participated in the underground anti-Japanese organization at that time. As a result, Jiulin Monastery became a secret stronghold of the anti-Japanese forces in Wucheng at that time, and it was very hidden to come and go under the cover of the temple. At that time, Gao Feiduan, the leader of the Wucheng underground party, also took refuge in Jiulin Monastery and was a close comrade-in-arms with Fa Ling.
Later, Fa Ling passed the position of abbot to his younger brother Fa Yuan, and he returned to the world, picked up a gun, and joined the anti-Japanese armed team. Later, the monk Faling died on the battlefield to repay the country's disaster. After the liberation, Fa Ling was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr, and there are also his photos and introductions in the martyrs' cemetery, of course, the name is not Fa Ling, but his popular name Wang Jinling. During the Qingming Festival, our school organized a memorial service in the martyrs' cemetery and laid a wreath for Wang Jinling.
The story of Fa Ling, almost everyone in the older generation of Wucheng knows his friend in life and death, his comrade-in-arms Gao Feidu, later became a combat hero, and then became the first commissioner of the Wucheng Prefecture Party Committee and the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. During the ten years of turmoil, a small group of people tried to run to the Jiulin Monastery to smash it, but no one responded to support it, but people from all walks of life prevented it openly and covertly, protecting this thousand-year-old temple from too much impact. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old Zen master Fahai to retreat peacefully for decades, just asking about human affairs.
Think about it, these senior monks of the Dharma character generation of Jiulin Zen Temple are really different. Fahai has been in retreat for decades since he won the championship in the last World Sect Conference, and he has not broken through the barrier until now. His younger brother Fa Ling returned to the army and became a revolutionary martyr and anti-Japanese hero. There is also a person of such age as the monk Fa Cheng I know, but he has always been innocent and like a child. And the current abbot Fa Yuan, I only saw it once, when the Feng Gentleman was a god in Zhaoting Mountain, Fa Yuan once intervened to stop it, but Lu Xue intervened again, and he couldn't make a fuss. In the same temple, all of them are cultivated by Zen, how can the monks be cultivated in a variety of ways?
Don't mention what I think, anyway, this scripture must be heard. Fa Yuan talks about the Diamond Sutra every day at sunset, after the palm lamp, about six o'clock every night. It's okay at this time, I didn't delay class, but I couldn't go to the evening self-study, and I was afraid it would be too late for dinner. But as far as I know, those people don't eat for lunch.
I told Ms. Liu that I was going to take a month off, which scared her and thought something had happened to me again. After hearing that I was only taking a leave of absence for evening self-study, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to me, "Ishino, you opened a restaurant at a young age, and things should be very busy. Originally, the day students in the school could not come to the evening self-study, so the school is not strict, so you can do it if you have something. You pay attention to yourself, you are still young, there are still many things to do in the future, don't delay your studies, I won't say anything superfluous. ...... And the last time I said about opening a restaurant, how did you think about it? If someone can help you without delaying your energy too much, you should still consider it. ”
Looking at her, I couldn't help but think of the lingering love with "her" in the delusion, and I couldn't help blushing and heartbeat, and hurriedly agreed to leave. She stopped me again, and said, "I know your secret identity, be careful if you're going on any mission." ”
......
Jiulin Monastery is the largest temple in the city of Wucheng, which is not small in scale, but it is not easy to see from the outside, because it is submerged in an ordinary house in the old city of Wucheng. If you want to go to Jiulin Zen Temple, there is no big road, and even cars can't drive at the door. Passing through a zigzag, bluestone paved alley, I walked to a relatively open place in an old house, and saw the gate of Jiulin Zen Temple.
