Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dialectics

"What is a burden?"

Su Dawei knows that bearing the burden is a Taoist saying, similar to cause and effect but somewhat different.

It's just that I don't know what it means when it comes out of Guo Xingzhen's mouth at this time.

"Are you pretending to be confused?"

Guo Xingzhen stretched out his hand to puff away the hair that covered his eyes, and said with a mocking face: "What you did back then made Chen Shuozhen's success fail, and you harmed thousands of people, if it weren't for what you did back then, how could there be today." ”

"Is your head caught in the door? Chen Shuozhen is looking for his own death, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with today? ”

Su Dawei frowned slightly: "Are you talking about cause and effect?" ”

"I heard that you are quite close to those Hu monks and Shamen, and you are really damaged by them."

Although Guo Xingzhen was embarrassed, he still held his head high, as if he was the victor, and talked eloquently: "The so-called cause and effect of the Hu people is just a small way, but it is emptiness to prove emptiness, and your bad luck in this life is because you did not cultivate virtue in your previous life."

I am disabled in this life because of the debt I owe in my previous life.

In this life, he was promoted because he had cultivated Buddhist merits in his previous life.

But who can prove these?

It's just a hypocritical and absurd word of the Hu people. ”

"Interesting, you're going to argue with me?"

Su Dawei came down cross-legged and sat opposite Guo Xingzhen across the prison door.

He heard it, Guo Xingzhen was very proud in his heart.

The officials who interrogated Guo Xingzhen before were not taken seriously by Guo Xingzhen, so they could only imprison him, but they could not convince him.

Guo Xingzhen's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he sighed: "I only hate that my plan has not been completed, so I can only compete with you with words through the prison door." ”

Su Dawei didn't answer his words, but said: "You just said cause and effect, specifically talking about the reincarnation of Shamen Buddhism, I don't know what you understand as a burden?" ”

"Bearing is the essence of Taoism, if everyone has parents, there are parents above parents, and if you keep going back, you can find the gushing.

Therefore, there is a clear context of bearing, just as a tree towers to the sky, and all the different paths are one.

Humanity returns to its origins, and it all has a lineage.

As long as a person enters this vein, he will be affected by the blood line, which is the burden.

Big, like between people, you rescued Li Zhi in the past, which led to the defeat of Chen Shuozhen, and the defeat of Chen Shuozhen, which made the poor road out of the mountain.

For me, it's my responsibility.

For you, this is also your burden.

Therefore, all of today's things are because of your Su Dawei's thought in the past, and the poor road will end up like this, sad, lamentable. ”

"Chen Shuozhen, is it really your senior sister? One of you is a teacher? ”

Su Dawei couldn't help but ask.

But Guo Xingzhen ignored him, just smiled conceitedly, and sneered slightly: "Since I am in a cage, what I want to do has failed, you can splash all the dirty water on the poor road, only death."

Before Poor Dao came to Chang'an, he had already expected the consequences of failure, so there is no need to say more. ”

Su Dawei shook his head: "I have a different opinion on the burden and cause and effect you just said. ”

Guo Xingzhen raised his chin slightly, and said contemptuously: "Do you want to discuss the law with the poor Dao? What qualifications do you have? ”

"Although I don't know how to learn, I have also read "Lao Tzu", and I have also listened to the scriptures in front of Master Xuanzang's seat, and I can pass through two doors of Buddhism."

"Don't be ashamed." Guo Xingzhen sneered: "How old are you, the poor Taoist master inherits the heavenly master, and has been cultivating for decades, but you only dare to say that you have one door, the first glimpse of the doorway, you actually dare to call the two doors of the Buddha's way?" Why don't you say that you have three doors of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism? ”

Su Dawei's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "When I have time to read "Spring and Autumn" and "Analects" by heart, it will be fine." ”

Guo Xingzhen was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

He laughed so hard that tears flowed down his eyes.

"Rebel, I lost at the hands of people like you."

"You can eat things indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense, it is Xu Jingzong who impeached you, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, this account has to be counted on Xu Jingzong's head."

"But those things are all investigated by you."

Guo Xingzhen said a word, and Su Dawei shut up.

He really couldn't put it off.

"Okay, poor people who are about to die, you can condemn me with any crime, but if you ask the reason for poor Dao, poor Dao will not say a word, you can guess for yourself."

Guo Xingzhen flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Send off." ”

This product should still be in your own Taoist temple.

In the cell, he looks like an owner.

Su Dawei didn't smile, he thought about it, stretched out his hand and pointed to a whale oil lamp hanging in the corner of the wall: "Daochang Guo, look at that lamp." ”

Guo Xingzhen swept the corner of his eyes, and saw the fire on the lamp flickering slightly.

Su Dawei smiled faintly: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, with your Taoist method, the lights are flashing, why?" ”

If there are conditions, you must go up, and if you don't have the conditions, you must also go up.

As long as Guo Xingzhen is invited, this matter will be half done.

Guo Xingzhen sneered at first, knowing that Su Dawei intended to tease him, and was about to speak, but hesitated again.

"Does the Taoist have an answer?"

"This lamp is only right, moved by the wind, and the wind is formed by the change of yin and yang."

Guo Xingzhen said an answer that he thought was decent.

As soon as these words came out, I saw Su Dawei laughing, and said forcefully: "No, no, no, the lights are shaking, neither the wind is moving, nor the lights are moving, but the hearts of the benevolent." ”

The wind moves the heart, and it is a Buddhist public case of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism.

It is said that two monks saw the wind and swept the big flag, and they had an argument for a while.

One said that it was the wind that moved the flag, and the other said that the flag moved the wind.

coincided with the sixth ancestor Hui Neng, so he replied with a smile: It is neither the wind moving, nor the flags, but the hearts of the benevolent.

Fang Cai Guo Xingzhen laughed at Su Dawei, thinking that he was too young and his Taoism was insufficient.

But I can't stand the many allusions in Su Dawei's mind, so I will directly copy the text.

Guo Xingzhen was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "You...... This is the sophistry of Hu Seng. ”

"Since Hu Seng Shamen came to the west, I heard that there have been several debates in the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in Chang'an, but the Taoist sect has lost more and won less."

Su Dawei looked directly at Guo Xingzhen with his eyes: "I said that I have two doors of Buddhism, which is not a big talk." ”

Guo Xingzhen was annoyed, gradually calmed down, nodded slightly, and said: "If you talk about tongue, your Su Dawei's ability is a few points longer than that of a stranger." ”

Saying this, it can be regarded as a disguised admission that Su Dawei is qualified to discuss with him.

"I have a few questions for ......"

Su Dawei opened his mouth, but saw Guo Xingzhen stretching out his palm through the prison door: "Wait, you said that you know the way of Hoover, may I ask what sect and sect?" The Wisdom Sect doesn't have the same quibbling skills as you. ”

The Wisdom Sect is the method inherited by Master Xuanzang.

It means to analyze the law of all things, the void is not empty, to find out the relative and the absolute, in order to see each other.

No independence is allowed.

Not good at empty talk.

Seeing Guo Xingzhen's question, Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, but his mind was extremely fast, and he changed his mind and said: "What I inherit is passed on by Master Xuanzang, don't pass it on outside the teaching, and imprint the heart with my heart." ”

"I've never heard of such a transmission from the Wisdom Sect."

"It's not intellectualism, it's Zen."

"Zen?" Guo Xingzhen was a little confused, he had never heard of this sect.

But it sounds a bit bluffing, as if there really is such a sect.

You must know that Zen Buddhism is really carried forward until the period of the Six Ancestors Huineng, which is still very weak at this time.

Su Dawei made a flower shape with his left hand, and smiled: "Don't teach outside the church, don't set up words, point directly to people's hearts, and become a Buddha by seeing nature, what is it?" ”

A beam of light, shining through the window on the cell, was shining on Su Dawei's body.

Like a Buddha.

Guo Xingzhen was dumbfounded for a while.

The momentum was completely suppressed by Su Dawei.

"The burden you just said is not what the poor Dao said, I don't know what the high argument is?"

This kind of question is actually very difficult to answer.

Within the Daomen, there are also many sects, and each family has its own saying.

There are public cases, there are also recognized things, and there are also their own laws.

In this case, it is not easy for Su Dawei to throw out some kind of remarks to make Guo Xingzhen agree and be convinced from the heart.

But Su Dawei did not panic, but talked eloquently: "The Tao says that bearing the burden is both cause and effect, and it is not cause and effect. ”

"Fart!" Guo Xingzhen said angrily: "Solemn Buddhism, that is, not solemn, if you take Hoover's set of tricks, don't say it, please go back." ”

"Listen to me."

Su Dawei was not arrogant or impatient: "Bearing contains cause and effect, but beyond cause and effect, this is a relationship between inclusion and being included. ”

This sentence made Guo Xingzhen, who was angry, endure it, and his eyes returned to coldness.

"The cause and effect of the Buddha is like a line, a cause, causing an effect; There is no intersection between cause and effect, and at the same time, the Buddha said that cause and effect are not broken by this life, it passes through life and death, time, and continues in reincarnation.

Bearing the burden is much more complicated, with both the relationship between cause and effect, as well as the relationship between each other.

It is the result of the entanglement of countless causes and effects.

For example, if a good person does a good deed, but there is no good reward, according to Buddhism, it is the cause of what he owes in his previous life, and he has to repay it in this life. ”

Guo Xingzhen listened quietly.

Although he didn't know much about Buddhism, he had heard stories about the destruction of the country where the Buddha was born.

According to Buddhist disciples, that's karma, that's fate.

Cause and effect can be proven.

Guo Xingzhen scoffed at this statement.

Putting all calamities on the cycle of cause and effect is nonsense.

He came to Chang'an for several purposes, one of which was to expel Hoover and preach the Dharma.

"Just as you said, the things in this life cannot be fully understood, and what to say about the previous life and the next life is too ethereal, and it is emptiness to prove emptiness.

For example, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, the death of the ape in the Chu State extended the forest trees, and the skin did not have hair.

Those pond fish, forest trees, and fur may not all owe cause and effect in the previous life.

From the Taoist view of inheritance, everything has complex reasons to entangle.

For example, a butterfly flapping its wings causes a hurricane.

For example, if a good person suffers bad luck, it may not be that he owes cause and effect in his previous life, but it may also be an unwarranted disaster brought about by the environment.

The so-called personal life is invincible to the national fortune.

Under the nest, there are eggs, which is exactly what it means.

Don't talk about the past life, don't talk about the emptiness.

Just say that at this moment, if you still have a trace of kindness in your heart, answering my question, you may be able to save countless lives.

This is the burden. ”

These words made Guo Xingzhen fall into deep thought.

The Tao is only difficult and profound, and it needs to be thought through.
