The rain is like broken pearls falling from the sky, splashing on the quiet Qingshi Street, creating a hazy mist of hookah.
Su Xing buried his head and hid in the eaves of a house, looked up at the roaring heavy rain, secretly screamed unlucky, the genius who came to this central place only wanted to see the most famous place in the Buddhist kingdom for a day, but he didn't expect that the heavy rain would fall in a short while, and It's strange that the rain sticks to his body like dew, even the star power is hard to melt away. It is said that this is called Buddha rain, and every drop of rain is contaminated with karma.
"Woooo." Gongsunhuang groaned in pain.
Su Xing smiled and took out a towel to dry her off. "Xiaohuang, shall we hide from the rain or go back?"
Gongsunhuang tilted his head to show that he was suffering.
"Let's hide from the rain first, watching the Buddha rain is also interesting." Su Xing nodded.
"Hey?"
At this time, Su Xing saw that there was also a girl under the eaves who was also sheltering from the rain.
The girl's eyes are really bright, the soft side face has an indescribable holiness, the eyes are ancient, and the soft hair is curly like waves, because the rain just covered the girl's plain face. The crown of her clothes was wet with her fragile skin, revealing her slender curves. Even so, Su Xing felt that the girl in front of him had an inviolable sanctity, which made it impossible for anyone to think of profanity.
The girl looked at the hazy heavy rain with a pensive face, her eyes were blue, as deep as the sea, so that people could not help but sink into it.
Like a finely crafted jade.
What a nice view.
Even though Su Xing was used to all kinds of beauties, he couldn't help being moved again by the holy beauty of the girl in front of him.
The girl stared at the heavy rain with selflessness, completely ignoring Su Xing and Gongsunhuang as if they were air.
Gongsun Huang Yiyin sat on Su Xing's shoulder again, and little Lolita also noticed the woman next to her.
Su Xing turned his eyes back to the rain, stretched out his hand to catch a few drops of rainwater falling from the eaves, and said regretfully: "This rain really made Buddhism do a lot of evil."
"Why did the benefactor say that?" The girl glanced at her and frowned.
"The Buddha said that a flower is a world, so a raindrop is also a world. Now that the heavy rain is falling, there are hundreds of millions of worlds, and it immediately disappears when it falls on the ground. Isn't it because of the Buddhist metaphor?" Su Xing looked at That misty hookah.
Hearing his sophistry, the girl acted calmly: "Flowers bloom and fall, birth and death alternately, all things reincarnate, this is cause and effect, why does the Buddhist theory of evil, the donor is hindered by evil spirits."
Su Xing showed a little surprise, the girl was more enlightened than expected.
"Actually, this cause and effect is also a sophistry." Su Xing carried it slowly.
"How do you say that?" The girl was not annoyed.
Su Xing said: "The Buddha said that if there is a cause, there must be an effect, but going back to before the creation of the world, what is the cause?"
"This is reincarnation." The girl replied calmly.
Su Xing was speechless.
This girl is really sharp.
"Do you also believe in Buddhism?" Gongsun Huang asked.
"Believe it or not."
"... You don't need to be so Zen-like in every sentence..." Su Xing laughed.
The girl smiled while holding the flowers, and her eyes returned to the rain, unable to penetrate or understand.
"Your Highness?" Gongsun Huang asked Su Xing curiously.
"Xiaohuang, do you think I want to spit like a Buddha again?" Su Xing was speechless.
Gongsun Huang shook his head.
I mean, can you be a little more disgusting, Your Highness
Gongsunhuang handed the towel to Su Xing, and looked at the girl more carefully than Su Xing.
"Zen mind can't be eaten, Nuo, let's wipe it off." Su Xing handed her the towel.
When the girl wanted to talk, Su Xing quickly stopped and said that you'd better not refuse me by saying anything about Buddhism.
"Thanks for the kindness." The girl was slightly taken aback, and took the towel along the way.
"Next to Su Xing, this is..." Su Xing hesitated when introducing Gongsunhuang, logically speaking, she should be introduced as a lady, God, she is only seven or eight years old.
"Little Phoenix."
The girl nodded lightly, Yurun brushed her forehead, and joined hands together: "Poor Nichanxin."
"Chan Xin?"
Su Xing raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness." Gongsunhuang called softly.
Su Xing shook his head, looking at Chan thoughtfully.
Looking at the rain, Su Xing suddenly felt that the rain was quite Zen-like. His heart was still in the water, and something seemed to touch it in the sea of consciousness. The lotus seeds in the Zen heart slowly cracked, and there were faint signs of sprouting. Su Xing felt this way, and immediately closed his eyes. From the very heart.
But there was no response after that, as if the feeling just now was just an illusion.
The rain didn't seem to weaken. Su Xing saw that the rain was endless and was thinking about going back. At this moment, he suddenly heard a creaking sound, and the door opened.
The two turned their heads.
A little novice came out.
"Master Kasyapa has invited several donors to the temple to shelter from the rain."
"what?"
It was only then that Su Xing realized that the place where Ganqing and the others took shelter from the rain was the back door of someone else’s temple. Here, Su Xing was still hesitating whether to go in, but Chan Xin saluted respectfully and politely and followed the little novice into the temple. Seeing this, Su Xing also felt uncomfortable Delayed.
The interior of the temple is more spacious than imagined. A golden-roofed corridor extends the garden and the backyard is more magnificent than the royal family. Kimporo trees and various Buddha trees and flowers are planted around it.
Along the corridor, you can see a pavilion with eight dragons painted on it. Under the pavilion, there is a benevolent old man who is chanting sutras.
"Master Kasyapa!"
The little monk said respectfully.
"Well, several benefactors, please sit down." Zen Master Kasyapa said gently.
Su Xing and the others sat down and looked at the old man secretly. His aura was pure and strong. Even with Su Xing's insights, he couldn't see the old man's cultivation, it was simply unfathomable.
"Zen Master, please be polite." Chan clasped his hands together.
"The poor monk just heard two benefactors talking about Zen in the rain, and he was curious, so he couldn't help but let the two benefactors come here, how offensive." Chan Master Kasyapa smiled, with an extremely pious attitude.
"Don't dare."
Chan Xin replied calmly.
"Just now I heard this benefactor talk about cause and effect, and the poor monk admired him very much. All living beings reincarnate, but karma does not reincarnate." Kasyapa said.
Su Xing, Chan was startled.
"But that's the case, then..." Chan was puzzled.
"Still listening to what the Zen master said?" Su Xing remained calm, hearing what the Zen master said in front of him.
Chan Master Kasye got up, and the three of them followed. Then Chan Master Kasye pointed to two trees, one was dry and the other was luxuriant, and asked them, "Do you think it's right to be dry or prosperous?" ?”
"Rong's right." Su Xing frowned and said.
Zen Master Kasyapa said with a smile: "It burns everywhere, and the light shines brightly!"
He continued to ask: "Is it the dry right, or the glorious right?"
"Dry!" Seeing that Su Xingdi's answer was wrong, Gongsun Huang said the opposite.
Chan Master Kasyapa still smiled faintly: "It burns everywhere, let the teachings fade away!"
At this moment, Zen Master Kasye looked at Chan Xin and asked again: "Is it right to be dry or right?"
Chan Xin pondered for a moment, and said: "Those who wither will wither from it, and those who are prosperous will grow from it."
Sure enough, as expected of a Zen mind, the answer was also ambiguous and impeccable. Su Xing thought he should be right this time, right? Unexpectedly, Kassapa still smiled and shook his head: "No, no."
If it wasn't for the fact that the old man in front of him was probably in the starry sky stage, Su Xing would have felt that he was playing tricks on them.
"What does Zen Master mean?" Su Xing asked.
"If it is right, then the world will be bright and splendid. If it is right to be dry, the world will go on the road of desolation and monotony, and this Zen woman benefactor thinks that what is dry, let it dry up and flourish. It’s not right to let it flourish, because in this way, you will lose your perspective on life, and you can’t make your own decisions.” Kassapa said slowly: “For a tree, withering is the end of prosperity, and prosperity is the beginning of withering. Prosperity is inseparable, while dryness and glory are one, there is no difference. In the eyes of the poor monk, it is the tree, the essence of dryness and glory.”
Su Xing sweated profusely, this monk is really eloquent.
"The karma is like the withering and flourishing of this tree. It is one. The benefactor said the same is true for the karma that created the world." Kasyapa said.
Su Xing seems to understand, but the general meaning is that the world and cause and effect are mixed together. If you think that the cause is the cause, and the effect is the effect, you secretly admire this Zen master, who really has a way of talking about Zen.
"Chan Xin has been taught." The girl nodded and said, "However, Chan Xin also has one thing that he doesn't understand, and I want to ask the Zen master to clarify."
"Hehe, but it's okay to say."
Chanxin said: "Gu De said, 'The green and green bamboos are all Dharmakaya, and the lush and yellow flowers are nothing but Prajna'; those who don't believe it think it's heresy, and those who believe in it think it's inconceivable, but I don't know how to be correct?"
Chan Master Jiaye replied: "This is the realm of Manjushri and Samantabhadra, which is beyond the belief of ordinary people and Hinayanas. Therefore, the "Avatamsaka Sutra" says: The Buddha's body is full of the Dharma Realm, and it appears before all living beings. Zhou, and often sits on this bodhi seat. Since the green bamboo does not come out of the dharma realm, is it not the body? And the "Prajna Sutra" says: "The color is boundless, so the prajna is also boundless. Since the yellow flower is not beyond the color, is it not the prajna? Therefore, the scriptures are not fixed. , Law has no many sons."
After hearing this, the girl still didn't understand, and asked again:
"In this news, believers are right? Unbelievers are right?"
Zen Master Kasyapa suggested a higher artistic conception and replied:
"The believer is the conventional truth, and the unbelievers is the truth."
Zen heart frowned: "Those who don't believe it ridicule it as wrong views, how can the Zen master say it is the truth?"
"Those who do not believe do not believe, and the true meaning comes from the true meaning. Because of its true meaning, ordinary people condemn it as wrong views. How can those who have wrong views talk about the true meaning?" Chan Master Kasyapa smiled and concluded.
Chan thought deeply.
Su Xing, who was next to him, had only a half-knowledge, and secretly said that Zen Buddhism is really obscure. It is really not a simple matter to open the lotus seeds of the Zen heart. It seems that it is still a long way to reach the realm of smiling like a Buddha.
It was the girl with a beautiful heart that made Su Xing very curious. She was very focused on Buddhism, and she calmly discussed the Zen method with Zen Master Kasyapa. Both Gongsunhuang and Gongsunhuang couldn't help but be drawn into their Zen discussion, and gradually they seemed to have an epiphany and vaguely grasped something.
The rain and fog filled the air, and the sound of Zen was pleasant.
Su Xing completely forgot the time, looking at the girl's meticulous profile.
outside the booth.
The rain stopped.
