Chapter 27: Mahayana Buddhism (2)

As soon as you enter the gate, a small courtyard of good size appears in front of Duobao's eyes. The delicate courtyard is divided in two by an S-shaped path paved with cyan stone slabs, and on the left side of the path is a small pond of more than 10 meters.

The clear small pond is filled with large lotus flowers, the turquoise lotus leaves floating on the water surface, the lotus leaves support the full pink lotus flowers, the fat lotus roots loom in the lotus leaves, and the drops of transparent water droplets roll down in it, reflecting the sunlight and appearing colorful. The petite lotus pond makes all the lotus flowers look extraordinarily delicate.

There is a delicate pocket pavilion in the center of the whole lotus pond, the pavilion is topped by gilt, agate, gold and silver and other seven treasures are embellished on it, and the pavilion guardrail and pilasters are carved with different images of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Buddha. They are flying, meditating, walking, contemplating, and so on, and their expressions are like living beings.

From a distance, the small pavilion in the entire lotus pond did not have a sense of abruptness, but was still very coordinated. The ornate canopy is combined with imposing columns and parapets. Two items with different temperaments are combined to burst out with a bewitching beauty. The small and compact pavilions all reveal the character and pursuit of the owner.

There is a small and atmospheric table placed in the pavilion, a dark red teapot is placed on the table, several white jade teacups are scattered aside, the teapot mouth slowly spits out a stream of water vapor, and the fragrance of tea permeates the small pavilion.

There are three small stools scattered around the table, and the small stools are also made with ingenuity, the small but clever stools seem to be low, but people can sit on them without feeling a trace of suffocation and discomfort. The lotus flowers in full bloom in the lotus pond are all arched around the pavilion, and the lotus root seems to be able to be plucked by reaching out.

Imagine that. Nothing to do. One person or more people sit in the pavilion. Drinking tea with his head down, looking up at the lotus flowers, his nose smelled the special fragrance that combines the strong but not greasy floral fragrance of lotus flowers and the light and distant tea fragrance of tea. That kind of leisure, relaxation, and tranquility make people yearn for it infinitely.

On the right side of the trail, dozens of bamboos are planted, and the stout bamboos are scattered and erect on the small piece of land, forming a bamboo forest. The turquoise bamboo leaves make a slight rustling sound in the breeze. Underneath the bamboo, some bamboo shoots that have just begun to sprout are scrambling to sprint to the sky.

Different from the peaceful relaxation of the lotus pond. The small bamboo forest is leisurely filled with an ethereal and quiet atmosphere. Those bamboo shoots add a touch of positive optimism to this ethereal silence. The straight bamboo with this artistic conception complements each other.

In the middle of the bamboo forest, the lush bamboo leaves are shaded above, and below, during the placement of a tree stump, two bamboo rocking chairs are placed on either side, and next to each rocking chair is placed a small coffee table, on which there is a plate of freshly washed fruit with water droplets, and a white porcelain wine jug is placed on it.

On that stump, there is a chess game, to be precise, an endgame that has been played for an unknown amount of time. Look at the layer covered above, almost ignoring the invisible gray layer. In this bamboo forest with fresh air. It seems very abrupt. It is foreseeable that this endgame has been in place for some time.

The entire courtyard is filled with two different styles of scenery without the slightest dissonance. On the contrary, the two match and have a surprising complementarity. When people step into the courtyard and see this view, their irritability will be relieved, and the first thing they will say is: "This is really a good place to retreat." Every time Duobao comes, he will feel that his heart is baptized by this beautiful scenery, and his irritable heart can't help but calm down a lot.

After coming more times, Duobao naturally has a trace of immunity to the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, and will no longer stay in place without being affected by the environment as before. Duobao's eyes were full of envy, this courtyard can be met but not sought, the things inside may not be too difficult for Duobao, but the Tao contained in it is not something that Duobao can achieve.

The fact that a small man-made garden can be built without any incompatibility with the surrounding environment is incomparable to this understanding of nature. sighed in his heart, and walked slowly across the S path without stopping, for the scenery on both sides, Duobao could only envy.

Stepping across the path, a simple thatched hut appeared in Duobao's eyes. A sense of disobedience couldn't help but rise in my heart, and I was left speechless and absurd in my mind.

Although Duobao has seen it many times, he still can't help but feel like he has fallen from a high altitude to the ground. Extreme anti-transferees are empty in their hearts. Seeing this, Duobao couldn't help but shake his head again. I just passed through the beautiful scenery of the world, but in a blink of an eye, I encountered this ordinary thatched house, and the feeling brought by this gap made people feel a little crazy.

According to the general idea, such a beautiful courtyard should be equipped with an equally exquisite house, so that it can complement each other. But this Buddhist master Huigen is uneasy and common sense, such a beautiful courtyard is equipped with an ordinary thatched house, this combination is really helpless, and the pity in my heart can't be stopped.

But if you think about it carefully, in combination with the mood of the owner, it is not difficult to explain. The owner of this house arranged the courtyard in this way, reflecting the external meaning of quiet, secluded, quiet and self-cultivation. Equipped with a thatched hut, it means that this Buddhist master is not the kind of monk who pays attention to enjoyment, but is dedicated to exploring the Dharma and deciphering the teachings of Buddhism.

The scenery of the small courtyard is for meditation, and the thatched hut is a place to live, which can be regarded as a kind of honing the Dao heart. Both have their own roles. In this way, it can be explained smoothly.

The disharmony in the eyes of others is also mellow and accessible. At this moment, there was a clear and soft chanting sound from the thatched hut, and Duobao stood outside without disturbing.

Soon, the sound of the sunny chanting disappeared, and the door of the room, which had been closed, opened, and a man wearing a pale yellow robe, a pair of round-toed linen shoes, slender white fingers casually on his sides, long silky black hair freely on his shoulders, and a slender figure set off a face full of soft smiles.

When Duobao saw this person appear, a smile appeared on his face, his mouth pulled slightly, and said, "Huigen, I'm bothering you again." After speaking, he stepped over Huigen and entered the thatched hut without treating himself as an outsider at all.

After a while, Duobao walked out with a white jade teapot in his right hand. He said as he walked: "You guy, such a good thing, don't say that you take the initiative to take it out." Every time I came, I had to do it myself. As soon as the words fell, Duobao stood beside Huigen.

"Huh. Huigen couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and his face that was always full of smiles showed a sense of helplessness, and he glanced at Duobao angrily, and said, "I have that little treasure, and every time you come, they will suffer." Although he said this, there was no trace of annoyance on his face, and there was no angry tone in his words.

For Huigen's complaints, Duobao ignored them gorgeously, holding a pot of tea alone, taking a beautiful sip, and his face was full of happiness. The sound of "Zizi" water absorption is endless. Soon, a pot of tea bottomed out.

Duobao put down the teapot and let out a long breath, his face full of satisfaction and aftertaste. He smashed his mouth, looked at Huigen with slanted eyes, and asked, "Huigen, can you follow up on the topic of the previous one today?"

Hearing Duobao's proposal, Huigen raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed a hint of interest, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Okay! That's what I mean, last time you and I talked about whether Buddhism is narrow, but just because you have something to do, you can stop it." Today, you and I have time, so let's talk about it happily. After speaking, he waved his arms excitedly.

When Duobao heard this, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Without further ado, you and I will leave now." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he stepped out, he stopped, and he turned his head to look at Huigen and said, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the lotus pond in the morning, just to bask in the sun, the bamboo forest is a little cold. Huigen heard Duobao's question, and blurted out without thinking.

"Okay, then go to the lotus pond!" Duobao nodded in agreement, and walked out by himself. Watching Duobao go first, Huigen followed closely alone, if someone looked carefully, they would be surprised to find that the distance between Huigen and each step was exactly the same, as if measured with a ruler. It is this hand that shows that Huigen is not simple. (To be continued......)
