Chapter 8 The Teaching of the Dharma to the Old Age
In the secret room, Wen Quai's face was frivolous, but he sat surprisingly upright, and his heart was full of excitement that he didn't know how to speak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If you face up to the emotions in your chest, the throbbing emotion, it should be thankful that these muscular monks of Vajra Temple have suffered so much loss, have been deceived and cheated, but they still have not lost their trust in people, they are still on the road of pursuing the truth, and they are willing to take another step for this reason.
They are also willing to gamble again to fulfill the original agreement with the Shattered Star Cluster, and this alone makes them sincerely grateful, and in this world, there are still old comrades-in-arms who are willing to believe in the Shattered Star Cluster......
This alone is worth repaying everything you owe them in the past.
Wen Quzhi sat there, knowing that the flirtatious smile on his face looked very cheap and annoying, but if it weren't for this signature expression that he had become accustomed to, he was not sure that something would leak out......
"Donor, your faith...... We received it. Master Maitreya smiled and said, "About your request......"
"Don't worry, the letter was indeed sent by me, and I'm glad you are here so soon. Wen Quzhi said: "But before I begin, I have a question for all Zen masters. ”
As soon as these words were raised, the expressions of the three monks behind Master Maitreya were not very good-looking.
At the request to build a relic, this is the biggest blackmail in the history of the King Kong Temple, there has never been such an example in the past, this time because of the importance of the matter, had to compromise as a last resort, the temple is not without questioning voices, but the abbot and several elders forced through.
Now that the relics have been transported and all preparations have been made, they are just waiting to negotiate, but the other party wants to stop the price increase and gain an inch.
However, this is not an unexpected situation, the Wen family's master Wen is sick, and his reputation is not very good, he belongs to the kind of skinning character who has benefits and absolutely occupies everything, this kind of person has something in his hand, and he will not sit on the ground and raise the price, then hell!
Zen Master Maitreya smiled, without the slightest anger, and said: "Everything in heaven and earth has a fixed number, all of them are fateful laws, which are rare, and it is useless to force them.
...... You can put forward, not we will agree, before the price increase, you can also look at the goods, the color of the goods is not right, how can you sit on the ground and start the price?
...... The anger of King Kong Temple is not so easy to parry!
"I want to ask you......" Wen Quzhi said with a smile, "Why didn't I write my letter directly to the abbot of Wucha, or the head of which courtyard, or a certain Zen master, but to pass it on to your temple in such an inconspicuous way?"
...... It's not a direct price increase, this is to make a big detour first?
The four monks of King Kong Temple were really puzzled, thinking about the meaning of Wen to get sick, Buddhism is the best at playing meditation machines, similar thinking agitation, they are no strangers.
Why do you use such a secret way to spread a book? Why don't you do such a secret thing? Even if an ordinary letter can hide people's eyes and ears, it is more difficult for people to discover than some secret messages, but there is still a great chance that it will be directly disposed of as nonsense waste paper, which is a very inexplicable thing.
Why is the master of the Wen family so confident that this letter can be taken seriously and accurately delivered to the person who should pass it on? This point made the high-level people of the King Kong Temple very puzzled and puzzled before.
Master Maitreya shook his head and said, "We really don't know, and I ask the donor to make it clear." ”
"I am also a person who knows a little bit about the fate of the law, and I know what can be obtained and what is rare. ”
Wen Quzhi said with a smile: "What I want to hand over to your temple, the correct attribution belongs to every monk of the King Kong Temple, and even every member of the future Buddhism, not exclusive to a certain person, therefore, the object of my letter is the entire King Kong Temple, if there is no fate, the letter is sunk into the sea, and no one can complain, everything belongs to the mandate of heaven, but if this letter can reach your hands......"
The four monks were surprised, they didn't expect Wen to open his mouth to be fate, but such an important event, he actually gambled on fate like a lottery, which really made him feel a little crying and laughing, did he give up the transaction if he lost the bet, and trade if he won the bet?
“...... I can give it to you with peace of mind, without any reward or strings attached. ”
Wen Quzhi smiled and spoke, listening to the ears of the four monks opposite, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he was ready to be knocked a lot, but suddenly he heard that he didn't have to pay anything, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
For a while, the eyes of the four monks all looked at Wen Quai, as if his unusual generosity contained some deeper conspiracy, asking the monks of King Kong Temple to fall into the trap.
Among the four monks, it was still Master Maitreya who was the first to calm down and notice the key to these words.
For the monks of Vajra Temple, seeking the Dharma is more important than everything, and in order to achieve this goal, any major price can be paid, and the higher the price, the more firm the heart of seeking the Dharma.
In ancient times, when eminent monks sought the Dharma and enlightenment, they did not hesitate to cut off their own arms, but in comparison, why should they not give up the rest of their external objects? Therefore, the price paid is not a problem, but the "Dharma" that can be obtained is the focus.
“...... Master Maitreya muttered: "Lao Gu has seen the name of Jizo Bodhisattva in the classics, but he only got his name, I don't know what kind of inheritance it is, and what is the way he walked?"
"The great wish of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, all sentient beings are exhausted, the proof of Bodhi, the hell is not empty, and the vow is not to become a Buddha. ”
Wen Quzhi smiled slightly, took out the Dizang Sutra from the Great Wilderness Western Dynasty, and put it in front of Master Maitreya.
The book is very ordinary, not composed of any rare materials, and there is no special power on it, but Master Maitreya looked at the scriptures in front of him, slightly sensing the information inside, his face changed suddenly, his eyes showed ecstasy, he stretched out his hand slightly, wanted to touch the pages, but his fingers trembled, and the Zen heart of many years of practice could not suppress the fluctuations of emotions.
Behind the Maitreya master, the three Zen masters also breathed heavily, excited and irrepressible, since the patriarch founded the Vajra Temple, the Taoist system of the Vajra Temple has always been incomplete, practice hard, but can not see the way out, do not know where to go, this long-term regret, sad wish, finally have a perfect hope today.
As soon as this page is opened, the King Kong Temple is no longer in a crippled state of having the law and no way, and it has been practiced hard and finally attained the Great Dao!
Among the three Zen masters, Kurong and Wuxian are all outstanding people who have a firm Zen heart and are not moved by external objects, but looking at that thin book, the whole heart jumps wildly, and it is difficult to maintain composure.
Finally, Master Maitreya sighed, opened the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, saw the words inside, and read it softly.
“...... The supreme and profound subtle Dharma, millions of calamities have been encountered, and I have seen and heard it today, and I am willing to understand the true righteousness of the truth. ”
“...... That's what I smelled. For a while, the Buddha was in the heavens of Enlightenment, speaking for the mother. ”
“...... At that time, the ten directions of the immeasurable world, it cannot be said that all the Buddhas, and the great Bodhisattva Mahasattva, have come to gather......"
Word by word, Master Maitreya carefully read the scriptures, and the three monks behind him closed their eyes, pondering the scriptures while memorizing them with their hearts.
For ordinary people, the meaning of these scriptures is clear, and it seems to understand them after listening to them, but there is nothing special about them when they think about it, but they can replace these monks who have practiced for many years, but they are limited to the incomplete inheritance and cannot go further.
In an instant, the three monks were like an initiation, only to feel that after many years of occlusion, a new world appeared in front of them, and every passage of scripture entered the ear, and they felt like they were intoxicated.
Wen Quzhi sat opposite quietly, listening to the sound of chanting scriptures, only a smile on his face, this scripture has long been familiar with it, naturally there is no stimulation at all, and he has been practicing penance in the Great Wilderness Western Dynasty for two years, reading various Buddhist scriptures, and knowing far more than them, and he can't be like them, listening to the scriptures like hearing the sound of the Great Dao.
...... At present, the Dharma that I can preach is this volume of the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra, and the other scriptures read in the Great Wilderness Western Dynasty are not impossible to write and transmit, but they are of little significance.
...... Ordinary Buddhist scriptures, subtle words, the Buddhist principles contained in them, full of great wisdom, are the guidance of the direct road, but it is not a clear power cultivation system, if you want to expect to understand the Buddha's principles from it, the realm has arrived, all kinds of supernatural powers are self-generated, and the power is self-sufficient...... I'm afraid, it won't be possible for a thousand years.
The inheritance of the King Kong Temple in this world, compared with the Buddhism of the Great Wilderness Western Dynasty, is obviously much more clumsy, and there is no such thoughtful lips and tongue at all, and there are a large number of muscular hunks that are rare in the Heavenly Buddhism...... Whether this is a deviation or not, it is difficult to assert it myself, but it is undoubtedly a pit for them to directly connect to the path of traditional Buddhism.
The path of Jizo Bodhisattva, he himself lamented for the monks of Vajra Temple, but he had to admit that it was very suitable for their cultivation, by helping the souls of the dead to transcend, accumulating yin virtue, and eliminating disasters and karma for the world, gaining merit, combining the two, and taking the first step from Hinayana Buddhism to Mahayana.
This is a practice method with a clear system and a clear direction for advancement, and by practicing this and studying other Buddhist principles, we will eventually be able to go to the right path, to the realm of the 840 million Dharma of Buddhism, and the realm of returning to the Dharma.
Since then, the monks of King Kong Temple have a clear path, and their regrets are one less, for themselves, this is the best reward, and they don't need any other benefits.
Listening to the scriptures, Wen Quzhi smiled, but suddenly, this smile froze on his face, and he suddenly felt the qi of the five virtues in his body, throbbing inexplicably, and giving birth to new changes.
...... Moral gas?
Slightly stunned, Wen Qu suddenly saw Master Maitreya who was reciting scriptures in mind, his whole body was bright, and wisps of colorful glazed Buddha fire were born from under his feet, burning his whole body, and he put his palms together, smiled, showing the meaning of purity and perfection, and the blazing Buddha flame burned all over the body, and the physical body began to be disillusioned.
Seeing this, Wen Quzhi was stunned, and his chin almost hit the ground.
...... Wouldn't it? Burn yourself on fire at this juncture? If you burn to ashes, how can you explain to Kongo Temple?
