079 Back To The Buddha Before The Buddha, There Are All Kinds Of Zen In The World(2/2)

"Aren't you leaving? What are you doing here alone?"

Feng Junzi: "I will think about the scriptures you just said."

"Facheng told me that the Diamond Sutra cannot be listened to this way, just listen to it. There is no need to think hard, mainly to gain some enlightenment in the Śrāvakas."

Feng Junzi: "No one tells me how I listen, how did Monk Facheng tell you?"

"Then go and recite it yourself and see it through the chanting."

Feng Junzi: "Damn! Why didn't you say it earlier? Then I'll go back too."

...

"Ishino, how many words did you hear again today?"

"Ten words."

This was the next night, and I met Feng Junzi Yinshen at the Zhuangyuan Bridge.

Feng Junzi: "The second chapter of the Diamond Sutra is not that short, right? What ten words have you heard?"

"How can you stop and how can you subdue your heart?"

Feng Junzi: "Then you heard it right. Some people say that the Diamond Sutra is about 'subduing the false mind and calming the true mind' from beginning to end. Shi Ye, do you think the Diamond Sutra is really talking about this?"

"I don't know, you know?"

Feng Junzi: "I am talking about subduing the false mind and calming the true mind, and not talking about these things, so there is such a scripture. Of course, I don't know, otherwise I would have become a Buddha too? What did the Buddha say?"

"You should stay in this way, and you should subdue your mind in this way."

Feng Junzi: "Mom, it means I didn't say it! What did Fayuan say?" Feng Junzi accidentally said a swear word in Wucheng dialect.

"Dayuan didn't say anything, he was not a Buddha either!"

Feng Junzi: "Then forget it, I'll listen to your preaching."

...

On the third day, Feng Junzi asked me: "Shi Ye, how many words did you hear the third chapter of the Diamond Sutra? "?Mahayana Authentic Division"?"

"Four words - Nirvana without remains."

Feng Junzi: "What is the nirvana without residue?"

"There is no self, the appearance of man, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of longevity."

Feng Junzi exhaled his anger at his nostrils and snorted coldly: "Tathagata is really cruel! He speaks slutty without dirty words, and others will listen respectfully."

"Feng Junzi, why are you scolding Buddha while listening to the sutras?"
