Chapter 43: The Great Treatise
Dali Imperial Palace is a solemn palace is scattered, the height is different from the towering in this vast world, there are several monarchs and ministers in the Golden Dragon Palace, Emperor Baoding sits on the throne, there is no trace of majesty, he is like a neighbor smiling and approaching.
"Yu'er, you have studied the scriptures and Analects with Mr. Meng, and you have been governing the country for many years, and you have some experience in thinking about it, why don't I come to test you today, if you answer well, I will agree to your request. Emperor Duan Zhengming of Baoding asked kindly.
Duan Yu was overjoyed, and he stepped out briskly, "Really, Uncle Huang can really agree to any of my requests." ”
"Of course, I Chrysostom. Duan Zhengming stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes were kind and calm.
"Even if you let me out of the palace and leave the prince's mansion to explore the rivers and lakes. Duan Yu asked nervously, his heart was full of curiosity about the rivers and lakes, and his tone was a little excited.
"This. Duan Zhengming's eyes gestured to Duan Zhengchun under the steps, only to see a middle-aged man walk out gracefully, his big eyes and thick eyebrows, wide forehead and high nose are quite heroic, and he is powerful as soon as he speaks, "Presumptuous, Yu'er must not be rude." ”
Duan Yu's head shrank, obviously afraid of his father, Duan Zhengming also smiled when he saw this situation, "Brother Xian, it is normal for young people to yearn for the rivers and lakes, haven't you and I also walked through the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes?"
Duan Zhengchun replied respectfully, "Brother Huang, the so-called jade can't be cut without being made, and this kid can't get used to it." For the emperor to think of the people of the country and benefit the people, how can he always yearn for the swords and swords of the rivers and lakes, and the love of children is long. Yu'er, since your imperial uncle is going to be admitted to you, you can tell me your feelings. After saying the most, he turned his head and was quite strict with Duan Yu.
Duan Yu didn't dare to slack off, and Lang said, "Governing the country and settling down the family will win people." The country is ruined, and the family is lost. I Dali governs the country, when the virtue is the first, the virtue is the gathering of the virtuous, the country can be governed; secondly, the pro-virtuous ministers, far from the villain, the election of officials to their ability, the amount of talent, the country will be prosperous, and then the people will be blessed, Qi people to courtesy, and the matter will be judged by the law, then the government will be clear, and the people's will can be more and more powerful, and Duan's country will be eternal. ”
Duan Zhengming's face was delighted, there is such a talent in Dali who will be able to prosper, even Duan Zhengchun is happy, but he did not show it. All the courtiers congratulated, "Dali should be happy." Duan Zhengming boasted: "Yu'er has such a mind, which should be the blessing of my Dali." Suddenly, Gao Shengtai, who was good at explaining, didn't think so, stood silently and didn't speak, and didn't like it in his heart.
Gao Shengtai noticed Duan Zhengming's expression, a trace of hunger and sarcasm hung on his face, and he said hypocritically, "The son of the world is so smart, it is really a blessing for me to Dali." When the minister heard this, he felt a sense of honor. ”
Shaolin Temple, the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, the first temple in the world, is located at the west foot of Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue, backed by Wuru Peak, surrounded by mountains, and the peaks are connected. At this time, in the main hall of Shaomuro Mountain, a unique Dharma is being held.
The abbot sat in front of the Buddha and faced many disciples in the temple, "My Buddha is merciful, merciful to the world, and I wish everyone to spend the sea of suffering, but most of the people in the world are ignorant, deeply greedy, hateful, infatuated with three poisons, seven emotions and six desires, although Shaolin is quiet and self-cultivation, awakening Bodhi, but also willing to enter the world to cross the fate, you wait to talk about the world and the world, so that you can be peaceful and happy." ”
Many disciples were silent, chanting "Amitabha." The old monk looked at the disciples with kind eyes, and sighed in his heart, could it be that none of the three generations of disciples has the root of enlightenment. At this time, Xuan Ci, who was sitting in the first place on the left hand side of enlightenment, said, "Master, my Buddha is compassionate, such as to preach the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and Hinayana Buddhist scriptures in the world, preaching countless merits, since the Bodhidharma Patriarch, the Shaolin monks of the past dynasties have also crossed countless fate, and now my Shaolin Zen Buddhism also talks about the epiphany Buddha's fate, but the word fame and fortune in the rivers and lakes is difficult, only our disciples show the Dharma by example, set an example, can bring joy to the world." ”
Xuan Ku softly agreed, "Master, what Senior Brother said is true, as long as we firmly believe in the Buddha, spread the Dharma, and lead by example, one day we can have peace and joy in this world." ”
Many disciples nodded, saying that what the senior brother said was not bad, and they realized that they were silent, and then asked the three generations of Huizi, "The disciples of the Huizi generation have high opinions, I don't know how to view my Buddhism, how should I and other Shaolin disciples live the joy of the world?"
The Hui characters in the back looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the ancestor would ask them, "I don't have any ideas, I just think that Shaolin should be the first in the world, talk about good and evil, help the weak, start slowly bit by bit, save one person is one person, don't ask too much." ”
Knowing and nodded, he was more satisfied with the answer of the Xuanzi generation, and inadvertently, he saw a small monk cleaning the ground not far away, so he motioned for someone to bring him over.
The little monk took the broom, looked at the monks nervously and hurriedly, lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Zhiwu comforted him and said that he didn't have to be afraid, and asked him his name and number, and how long he had been in Shaolin.
The little monk stammered a little, but he also had to answer all questions, "The little monk is called Xuzhu, and he grew up in the temple since he was a child. The voice was as light as a mosquito's cry, and it was only thanks to the deep internal strength of the abbot that he could hear it clearly.
"It turned out to be a fourth-generation disciple. Xuzhu, let me ask you, do you know how to make the world believe in my Buddha and get that peace and joy. Zhiwu asked, he didn't believe that the shy little monk in front of him could answer. However, if someone comes and asks, maybe he will have that Buddha root.
Xuzhu looked at the monks in the hall and stared at him, his heart was even more nervous, holding the broom at a loss, at this time, one of the monks said, "Xuzhu, you will answer when you ask, don't be afraid." ”
Xuzhu took the broom and put his hands together, and silently recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart, "Yes, Master." He settled down and faced enlightenment, "Master, the disciple doesn't know how to make the world peaceful and happy, and the Buddhist scriptures don't say it." ”
Although he can't say anything if he knows the way, he doesn't need to say it so bluntly. Could it be that he has read the Buddha's teachings for more than 20 years in vain and has not comprehended them at all. I was a little disappointed, but I didn't take it to heart.
Xuzhu did not retreat, but continued, "Although the Buddhist scriptures do not say it, the Buddha told the world. Peace and joy are not the pursuit of gain, but self-enlightenment, believe in the merit of men and women copying Buddhist scriptures is inconceivable, monks teach people to be good merit is inconceivable, kneeling to the Buddha is not to avoid weakness, love in the world is also a great kindness. My Buddha talks about the fate, no matter who can have an epiphany, as long as there is love in the heart, there will be peace and joy. It's as simple as me sweeping the floor, not pursuing whether the floor is really clean, but sweeping the heart is calm. Because the wind blows and the leaves fall, the earth will naturally still be dirty, but the heart is free of dust, and Bodhi is self-generated, which is what I understand as peace and joy. Not deliberately, not pursuing. ”
Enlightenment was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he drove away Xuzhu and was silent. Xuzhu didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and said that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly apologized and left with a blank face.
The Star Sect is still not noisy, and the snow between heaven and earth is crystal beautiful. Pan Dao jumped out, he put on his clothes and came to the top of the mountain, and saw that a food box was already covered with ice and snow, and he couldn't eat it, but his heart was warm, and he lifted the food box Jin Yangong and went out, and disappeared on the horizon in a few breaths hundreds of miles away.
This Jin Yan Gong is also a profound light gong body method, the stronger the internal force, the better. Practice to the depths, a vertical can be compared with the wild goose, Guo Jing once relied on his internal strength to leap ten feet high.
The martial arts conference is imminent, the innate skills have broken through the first-class realm, the internal force has doubled, and the injuries and external injuries have recovered within a few months, Pan Dao is confident that he can already protect himself, although he does not seek the status of a senior brother, but it is impossible for Ding Yiyun to kill him.
Governing the country on virtue and ability, promoting the Dharma and studying Bodhi. Asking the martial arts road, how can you rely on your life? The faster Pan Dao's light skills, who else will pay attention to the appearance of this figure in the wind and snow.
