Chapter 112 Sentient Beings and Buddha
It turns out that even though this monk was amazing in his power and carried a huge bell of thousands of kilograms, he did not have the same amount of weight and wishful thinking, and he was like a lotus strolling in the idle garden.
If you can pronounce but not retract, even if you obtain the superior Dharma, you have not obtained the true meaning of Buddhism. It is like the sun wheel, with a clear and complete body, vast and boundless body; it cannot make people feel the perfect illumination of Buddha nature and a completely clear feeling.
The bronze bell entered the square with a buzzing sound, finally rushed to the sky, and then fell steadily to the ground, and a simple-faced monk appeared in the square.
Some people recognize that this is not Huike. Some people know this monk, and they clearly practice the Vajra divine power of Vajra Temple.
The bell sounds dull and powerful, and it takes a long time to stop.
The monk put his hands together and said, "Little monk Hongzhen, my teacher Huike wants to ask the Venerable about the sound of the bell."
The Venerable Baoyue looked like a lotus flowing in her eyes. She looked at the monk and smiled faintly, "How do you want to ask?"
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was Huike's question.
Chen Lianluo looked at Hongzhen. There was no difference between this monk and the first time he met. If there was, it would be that he had no progress at all.
Although the time before we met was still short, any practice was like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. You can feel it by sacrificing your own spiritual sense. There is no difference between him and last time.
It seems that the cultivation level itself is fixed, neither increasing nor decreasing.
It feels a bit strange because of Chen Lian.
At this time, everyone present was waiting for Hongzhen to ask about Huike.
Hongzhen did not let everyone wait for a long time. He closed his eyes and then opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and bright, which showed that his flesh was really good.
He said clearly: "My master made a verse because of the bell." He followed the sound of Hongliang spread throughout the square, and his verse said:
"The shadow starts from the form, and the sound follows the sound. Abandon the shadow and exhaust the body, and do not recognize the image as the source of the shadow. The sound stops the sound, and does not know that the sound is the root of the sound. Eliminate troubles and seeks Nirvana, which is the metaphor for removing the form and seeking shadow. Leaving sentient beings and seeking Buddhahood, which is the metaphor for silent sound and seeking sound. Therefore, we know that the path of ignorance and enlightenment is not different. The nameless work is called, and the right and wrong will arise because of its name. The reason is not reasonable, but the argument arises. Illusion is not true, who is who is not? Illusion is not real, how can there be empty and what is there?"
This Buddhist verse is quite long, but when everyone heard it, they all explained it. Even the Taoist Huanzhen had a thoughtful look.
Because this verse actually has the posture of the same flow of Buddhism and Taoism, it is meaningful. The sentence "abandoning shadows and tiring body" is actually derived from the "Nanhua Sutra" Heavenly Way "Shi Chengqi walks with a geese and geese walk to avoid shadows, and then proceeds to cultivate themselves." The person Shi Chengqi asked was the Taoist ancestor, and the general thoughts that Taoist ancestor replied were his external expressions, and they were not his nature.
It can be said that "if you seek the truth and get rid of the delusion, you will still abandon the shadow and exhaust the body. If the body is delusion, it is true, and it is like the shadow and the shadow." Ordinary monks can only be in the clouds and fog, but only Bai Shi, who is the truth, can experience it.
They are people who are qualified to break the delusion and grasp their nature. However, this step is to understand it, and whether they can do it or not is another matter.
Just like falsehood, it has no substance in itself.
Huike did not want to break the falsehood, he had a unique purpose, and Chen Lian had such thoughts in his mind.
Because falsehood cannot be explained thoroughly or cannot be explained, everyone has their own differences. Some people kill Buddha when they meet, and they can achieve immortality when they meet ancestors. Some people are compassionate for a lifetime, repay their grievances with virtue, and they can also achieve true nature.
But its essence is nothing more than the Buddha's teachings. Kashyapa picked up a flower and smiled, and became a demon with one thought, and became a Buddha with one thought. It is not about becoming a Buddha with one thought, but about his "thought", which means that he is the mind.
After hearing this verse, Venerable Baoyue smiled, like spring flowers and autumn moon, which made people feel at ease. He could only hear him say, "Since Huike asked this, he must have known the answer, so why bother to ask me?"
Hongzhen replied: "Although my master knows it, he still needs to speak out to solve the doubts."
Venerable Baoyue sighed indifferently and said slowly: "He wrote a verse, and I will reply to it too. You will listen."
But I saw that the young face of Venerable Baoyue had a little more solemnity, and the Buddha's voice resounded in and out of the square, without falling a word, and it entered everyone's ears, "I have to see that the intentions are true, but the truth of true secluded is not different. I am a mystery maniac, and suddenly realize that it is the true pearl. Ignorance and wisdom are no different, so I should know that all things are the same. I pity these two viewers, and I wrote this book with a pen. I saw that the body is not different from the Buddha, so why do I need to find that there is nothing left?"
As soon as this verse came out, it was not the Taoist monks who were shocked, but the famous monks and nuns in the Western Wilderness.
Because what Venerable Baoyue said was originally an explanation of Huike's Buddhism. Huike's original meaning was to deeply believe that all sentient beings have the same true nature. If they can give up the false and return to the truth, they are the same realm as ordinary people and saints. Therefore, the essence of sentient beings and Buddhas is no different. Therefore, the old Buddhist teaching promoted by these monks made the living beings willing to be enslaved, and it is wrong to regard the noble beings as being noble.
Huike's theory is actually not his original creation. It has long been the foundation of Buddhism. It is also called the "Buddhist Heart Sect" outside the teachings, and some people call it "Zen Buddhism".
During the Great Zhou Dynasty, it spread secretly and gradually grew stronger.
The current cohesion of Buddha Heart Sect is not as good as the original eight major schools of Buddhism, such as the Abhidharma-Shahas Sect, Vinaya Sect, Three Treatise Sect, Tiantai Sect, Faxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, and Zhenyan Sect.
However, it is more direct to the hearts of the people and has been recognized by a little real person in Changsheng, which is quite vigorous and vibrant.
Now that even Venerable Baoyue has turned against each other, it is really an internal change in Buddhism today.
Most of these monks who came to listen to the difficulties were confused and confused for a moment.
Huike has not yet appeared, and his purpose has been achieved.
The reason why this debate is so grand is to openly establish the image of Buddha's heart in such a magnificent scene.
It is also a sign of change in the Buddhist practice world.
I was really angry. First, he failed to embarrass Shen Lian, and second, after today, many people will pay attention to this internal change in Buddhism, which is not conducive to the expansion of Guangqing Immortal Sect's influence now.
At the same time, Baoyue and Huike's actions also attracted some Xuanmen monks. All sentient beings have the teachings of Buddha nature, which is not in conflict with Taoism's delusion. With Buddhism, there are probably many casual practitioners and even authentic Xuanmen Taoist traditions who are willing to communicate with them.
Mingwang Temple has not done anything major in the world of practice for thousands of years, and I didn’t expect that it would be such a thing when I took action.
And unless the four great Taoist sects are, for those monks, the difference between Buddhism and Taoism is not that important, and it is better to live forever.
Therefore, the fortune between Buddhism and Taoism has increased and disappeared. For them, it is just a change of body skin. As long as it is beneficial to them to achieve enlightenment, what if it is bald?
At this moment, a demonic wind suddenly erupted in the square, and a demonic cloud covered the sky and the moonlight was coming, quickly covering up.
The handsome face of the Venerable Baoyue couldn't help but look up, and then his face darkened. With a wave of his hand, the golden Buddha light raised up, trying to hold the short demon cloud.
Someone in the demon cloud laughed loudly and said, "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
The spirit was shocked and fell from the sky, and the void was filled with ripples.
Many monks felt this spiritual pressure and knew that at least the demons of the real human level of Changsheng were coming, and gods and immortals were fighting and mortals were suffering.
In the blink of an eye, dense magic weapons emerged from the square and scattered.
