"About my new knowledge and old knowledge, I don't know if Shen Gong can teach me?"

Shen Zhezi asked loudly, and when he heard his question, the others also turned to Zhu Fashen, hoping that this high monk with exquisite Buddhism would talk again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Based on their attainments, I only feel that this Buddha verse has a kind of insight into everything, leisurely open-mindedness, and it is quite rewarding after careful consideration, and it is difficult to refute it.

Zhu Fashen's train of thought was interrupted, and his expression was quite uneasy, and this Buddha poem touched him deeply, but when it came to comments, he didn't know where to start.

Zhu Fa was timid to speak, but Shen Zhezi was not surprised. Nowadays, Buddhism has not been localized, and the lack of important scriptures is a congenital defect, which is insufficient to form a complete preaching scripture, and important scriptures such as the Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra have not been translated and transmitted.

Therefore, the understanding of Buddhism by people in Jiangdong today is often discussed from the perspective of metaphysics. Metaphysics has reached a peak in the Western Jin Dynasty, and from this perspective to interpret the still missing and crude Dharma system, it will lead to the phenomenon that there are thousands of righteousness and multiple laws. In the popular Prajna theory in Koto alone, there are as many as six schools and seven sects.

Such a chaotic situation has set a tone for the localization and development of Buddhism, which is one of the most complex sects, with hundreds of schools of thought and thousands of opinions, and even attacking each other.

In other words, nowadays eminent monks such as Zhu Fashen still have a blind understanding of the Dharma, and his dimness makes it clear. Although it is expedient to use metaphysical theories to interpret the Buddhist viewpoint, it has also formed a style of localization of Buddhism, a foreign doctrine.

Even if the Buddhist scriptures have been polished and matured in later generations, this phenomenon is still difficult to completely eradicate, and it cannot be said that this method is superficial, but only the tenacity of the local culture.

The charm of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's Buddha is not that there is any superior interpretation of Buddhism, but that it can be spread all over the world, probably because of the meaning that can make people seem to have understanding. In contrast, the Buddha poem of the monk Shenxiu is not detached enough, not refined enough, there are still things in the heart, and it is necessary to wipe it diligently from time to time in order not to cause dust.

If understood from the perspective of metaphysics, the Buddhist poem of Shenxiu monk is a little hard and pragmatic. And Huineng's first one has increased dramatically, and the mystery is extremely subtle. To interpret it as a common saying, I know that the song of Shenxiu Monk is very awesome, and the song of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, I don't know where it is at all.

Nowadays, even the so-called high monk attainments are just like this, as for those Dharma lovers, it is probably equivalent to the joke of "young people ask Zen masters" that has been widely circulated in later generations.

was watched by everyone, although he didn't know how to comment in his heart, Zhu Fashen couldn't be silent for a long time, and after a long silence, he sighed: "Shen Lang has a sense of pre-knowledge, and a great sense of after-knowledge." I don't know what to do, everyone who hears it has its own understanding. ”

To say this is to admit that this Buddha verse is subtle and beyond the scope of one's own guidance. As a result, the onlookers had different reactions, but it was obviously difficult for them to accept the result.

"Shen Gong has nothing to say, but I still have a little gain."

Shen Zhezi smiled slightly, and had no intention of calming people, he glanced around at everyone, and then said with a smile: "Those who worship the Buddha are the first to keep the deeds, the second to the scriptures, the third to the words, and the second to the second. Yu Shengong may be able to abide by the scriptures, which has been counted. As for me, I should be equal to the body with Buddha nature, and the words of Shen Gong may be interesting to ordinary people, but as far as I am concerned, it is still the theory of waiting for the bottom, I wonder if Shen Gong can have objections? ”

When Zhu Fashen heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, even if he had the heart to refute, he was suffering from the fact that he had no words to quote and refute, but he hesitated a little and said: "It should be so." ”

"You are equal to the Buddha's way, you can experience only one end of the words, or the worship of wealth and only the skin carved by gold and soil, and so on, how can you experience the joy of the Buddha's nature flashing? How dare you talk about the Buddha's words in front of me! ”

Shen Zhezi dared to speak out about Buddha nature because nowadays there is no convenient way for everyone to become a Buddha and everyone can become a Buddha, and even epiphany is not a mature view accepted by everyone. Since he has already seized a high ground in this doctrine, why does Shen Zhezi need to keep his light and keep his eyes open, so that everyone in the future will be ashamed to talk about Buddha in front of him, but he can protect the root of the ear.

When everyone heard this, their expressions were not angry, but even Zhu Fashen was unable to convince the other party for a while, what could they say in this regard?

Seeing that everyone was groaning, Shen Zhezi sneered twice, and then brushed his sleeves away. Before leaving, he also unceremoniously spat at the feet of the Wang brothers, although spitting on the ground is unhygienic, but the contempt conveyed by this act is full of contempt. For a while, the Wang family was furious, but they could only stand there and stare at each other.

Yu Tiao watched Shen Zhezi talk to everyone, and he was enjoying himself, and when he saw Shen Zhezi walking away, he hurriedly chased after him. Walking on the road, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Shen Gong is a celebrity in the middle of the capital, and Zhezi Langjun can be impressed by him in this way, and it is difficult to say a word." After today, the name of Lang Jun will be able to spread in the capital! ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart after hearing this, even if he didn't understand Buddhism, he felt that this Zhufa profound attainment was really difficult to call profound, probably because of his own family history to cultivate a good metaphysical cultivation, and then quoted Buddhist scriptures by analogy, and the conversation gave people a refreshing feeling. However, this kind of Buddhist attainment, which is completely dependent on metaphysics, is completely vain and disillusioned, and can only provide people with a set of theories that escape from reality and do nothing, which is not very clever.

In the final analysis, after all, he is not very interested in the theory of Buddhism, even if he will admire and respect some eminent monks in his heart, it is only for the conduct of this person, not for that set of doctrines. As for Zhu Fashen, it is obviously not among them.

This kind of so-called high monks, whose faces are particularly annoying, wander among the magnates of the Zhumen, and adopt the heads of other families just to advocate the style of pure talk. Nowadays, even those who truly believe in Buddhism cannot agree with it: "You Cao divert the Dharma, not with sincerity, but for the sake of vanity!" ”

There are many shallow kings, and the more troubled the times, the more there are such hypocrisies and deceptions who wander the world and invite fame and investment. Just like this Zhu Fa is deep, people are ironic about traveling to Zhumen, this public is to see the king as Zhumen, and I see it as a tent. But to be honest, the most important thing in this era is tents, how many have he been to? Pointing to the deer as a horse, quibbling and pretending, Shen Zhezi didn't scold him for being blind and fascinated, which was already a rare politeness, and he also saved a little face for the other party.

However, after this incident, when Zhu Fashen saw Shen Zhezi in Jiankang City in the future, he would probably have to go around and avoid a place. Even if there is resentment in my heart, I don't dare to declare it, otherwise I will slap myself and lose my elegance.

After leaving, Shen Zhezi was not in the mood to visit the garden, but because there was no one else around, he was afraid of getting along with Yu Tiao, so he walked into a small pavilion by the pond and meditated. Occasionally, people passing by here, their expressions are a little abnormal, or they tend to bypass here, or point in the distance, few people come forward to say hello and say a few words, and Shen Zhezi is also happy to be clean.

He sat like this for about half an hour, and when it was almost evening in the afternoon, Yun Zhifu, the maid of the palace who had disappeared before, came again, and after entering the pavilion, she apologized repeatedly, and then said: "The king is already waiting in the palace, please come with me." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi got up with Yu Tiao and followed Yun Zhi to the main hall. Along the way, they also met other people who were heading towards the main hall, but because of the previous incident, their attitude towards Shen Zhezi was inevitably a little alienated and cold. Shen Zhezi didn't intend to win people's eyes in this place where overseas Chinese gathered, so he didn't pay much attention to it, which could make others feel uncomfortable, but he didn't have the words to criticize, no matter how he counted, he shouldn't feel depressed.

Walking into the main hall again, Shen Zhezi saw that there was a new arrangement in the hall, some of the original useless furnishings were removed, but there were nearly a hundred seats in the magnanimous hall. Originally, the couch on the hall that was covered by a screen also had a young man in a royal robe sitting there at this time, which should be today's protagonist, the King of the East China Sea.

The first few seats were already sitting there, either Dai Miao, an important minister from Taiwan Province who was born in Yuefu, or a famous person of the time like Yang Chen. The seats of the brothers of the Wang family were also relatively high, and when they saw Shen Zhezi entering the hall, their faces were gloomy again, as if they were dead.

"Two seats, please."

The maid Yun Zhi didn't talk much at this time, and led Shen Zhezi and Yu Tiao to the seat next to the Wang brothers.

Seeing this arrangement, Shen Zhezi was slightly stunned, and then looked at the King of the East China Sea in the hall, and saw that the King of the East China Sea was also looking at him, his expression was quite gentle, and he seemed to have good intentions, which made Shen Zhezi a little surprised. It is naturally impossible to hide from the master in the previous turmoil, but Shen Zhezi's performance is flamboyant, but if it is said that he can win the favor of the king of the East China Sea because of this, it is somewhat impossible.

Although there was some strangeness in his heart, Shen Zhezi simply sat down in the seat, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Wang Biaozhi next to him snort coldly, as if he was extremely displeased. At this time, Shen Zhezi became indifferent, smiling at the brothers of the Wang family, with a generous demeanor that did not care about it.

There were many guests who came this time, and only a small number of them were able to enter the palace and be personally received by the King of the East Sea. Others are either difficult to enter, or they don't want to be here at all, such as the old Yu Yi of the Yu family who arrived earlier than Shen Zhezi and the others, and he didn't know where he went, and Shen Zhezi didn't see it at all.

When everyone was seated, the king of the East China Sea laughed and said a few words in the palace, and then ordered someone to pass the meal. Soon after, many servants and maids came from the outside of the hall, shuttling between the seats, serving meals, dishes, wine, buttermilk, and so on.

Nowadays, the taste of the north and south food is still relatively large, the northerners eat noodles and meat, and the southerners eat rice and soup and fish. Shen Zhezi is not picky about staple foods, anyway, he is also a little hungry, but he is indeed a little incompetent to accept the drink buttermilk, the smell is slightly heavy, and the oiliness is too great, so he just tastes it lightly.

That Wang Biaozhi looked at Shen Zhezi frequently at the table, and finally couldn't help but sneer: "Raccoon dog can also eat northern food? ”

Shen Zhezi sneered after hearing this: "Taibao also has to be skillful in Wu language, the south eats the north, what's so surprising?" ”

"You are also worthy of the Taibao?" Wang Biaozhi was disdainful.

"The peach and plum are self-explanatory, and those who have aspirations follow the virtuous deeds. As for the household guinea dog, they are used to barking in the court, which is rare and strange. ”

Shen Zhezi replied with a sneer.

When the Wang brothers heard this, they all looked ashamed, but they also had to admit that it was really difficult to gain the upper hand in words, so they only made a cross-eyebrow and a cold look at the table.

Now that he has been purified, Shen Zhezi is too lazy to pay attention to these people, and it is important to fill his stomach. There were no twists and turns in the meal, but as soon as he put down the tableware, he heard the maid behind him whisper in his ear: "If Lang Jun finishes the meal, can he leave the table temporarily, and there are nobles to invite him." ”
