The old monk smiled and said "come from here", like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake water, which made the monks in Hanshan Temple change their expressions at the same time.
Recently, eminent monks from all over the world gathered in Hanshan Temple. The process of entering the temple is nothing more than reporting to the family, what is the name of the Dharma, and which temple to practice in. The eminent monks who have attained the Tao will naturally be received by monks of higher standards. Proper placement.
However, this master named Zhixin told the monk of Hanshan Temple clearly in the first sentence-I am here to smash the scene!
To take without warning is to be a thief, and to come to discuss Zen without any prior notice is obviously an act of smashing the field and kicking the hall.
The young monks of Hanshan Temple were inexperienced. Faced with such a situation, they didn't know how to proceed.
"What's the meaning of 'from where'?" Princess Shouning's pretty face was full of doubts, and she felt that the monk's words were really esoteric and difficult to understand.
"I don't know..." Li Yi shook his head, and in order to prevent the old monk Tan Yin from tearing things down again, he simply stopped talking.
What's more, Buddhism is something that everyone understands differently. Maybe the old monk named Zhixin just thinks that it is very useful to pretend that others don't understand.
Li Yi guessed wrong this time, Master Tanyin didn't have time to tear down the stage at all, because the stage of Hanshan Temple was about to be demolished.
The old monk Zhixin still had a smile on his face, and said: "I have heard that Master Tanyin of Hanshan Temple has profound Dharma, and he is an eminent Buddhist monk. We have come from a long way, just to demonstrate the Dharma with the master and solve the confusion in our hearts."
The monk Tan Yin took a step forward and said with a smile: "Master has come from a long way, and Hanshan Temple naturally welcomes him, but this place is not a place for discussing Zen, please move forward."
It was the time of the Water and Land Dharma Conference, and there were many eminent monks from all over the temple. It was common for them to discuss Zen and Buddhism with each other, but they were never so direct and rude. Most of the nobles in Kyoto gathered here. Too much damage to the reputation of Hanshan Temple.
"My Buddha is everywhere, how can Zen be divided into regions?" said the old monk from outside, shaking his head.
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar among the monks in Hanshan Temple.
This is really not giving any face.
There were already a lot of people walking around in the temple, coupled with the fact that Grandmaster Sandalwood Yin had the effect of attracting fans, within a short period of time, many people gathered around.
"What's the matter, who is Master Tan Yin talking to?"
"Could it be that the other side is also a Buddhist master?"
"I don't know where it came from, but he said just now that he would discuss Zen with Master Tan Yin."
"An eminent monk discussing Zen? This cannot be missed..."
…
…
It is rare for an eminent monk to talk about Zen, and everyone put on a posture of watching the excitement. Li Yi was also a little curious about how Hanshan Temple would deal with this old monk who made trouble.
Another middle-aged monk had already stepped forward and asked, "What kind of discussion do you want?"
Master Sandalwood India is the signboard of Hanshan Temple, and no mistakes can be made. If any monk can directly discuss Zen with him, he may only be able to do this one thing in his life.
"If you want to talk about Zen, you must first sit in meditation. Master Tanyin is a virtuous and eminent monk, and his meditation skills are definitely good. The little monk is bold and wants to compare himself with Master Tanyin in sitting meditation." Holding an iron rod, the middle-aged man has never spoken. The monk said suddenly.
"What is zazen?" It was Princess Shouning's habit to ask when she didn't understand.
"It's just being in a daze longer than anyone else." Li Yi gave a popular explanation.
In Journey to the West, the Tang monk of Chechi Kingdom and the three monsters fight, one of which is sitting in meditation at a high altitude. This is a classic plot in Journey to the West. Art comes from life and is higher than life. I didn’t expect to see this scene in reality. .
Sitting meditation is the basic skill of a monk. This middle-aged monk wants to compete with Master Tanyin in who can sit in meditation longer. It is a bit of a bully to compete for the longest-lasting monk in Jingguo.
One is a strong adult man, and the other is a disabled old man with half a foot in the coffin. Isn't it obvious who will last longer than the other
"Master is going to preside over this Water and Land Ceremony, and he has no time to deal with miscellaneous matters. If it is for this matter, please go back." Since the other party is here to make trouble, the monks of Hanshan Temple are not polite, and even invited these few The monk had no intention of drinking a cup of tea.
"I heard that Jingguo Hanshan Temple is a sacred place of Buddhism, and Master Tanyin is a virtuous and eminent monk. We have come from afar. Is this how you treat guests?" A young monk who came with the old monk suddenly said.
"What, Jingguo Hanshan Temple?"
"Aren't these monks from our country?"
"Monks from other countries dare to make trouble at the Fa conference, drag them out, and beat them to death with sticks!"
…
…
If it was Monk Jingguo, everyone would not mind watching a wonderful Zen discussion. After all, this kind of thing is not common, but since the other party is not Monk Jingguo, but came to make trouble, they immediately lost that kind of thought, this intention Bad guys, dragging them out and killing them is the right way.
Today the temple is full of dignitaries, and there are quite a few guards around them. Immediately, several people walked towards those monks.
The young monk knew that he had slipped his words just now, and his expression changed slightly upon seeing this.
The middle-aged monk holding an iron rod stood in front of the old monk expressionlessly, exuding a dangerous aura from his body.
"Wait a minute." An old monk from Hanshan Temple waved his hand. The Water and Land Ceremony originally invited eminent monks from all over the world. Even monks from other countries, if they were beaten to death in Hanshan Temple with sticks, it would ruin Hanshan Temple's reputation.
The old monk looked at the middle-aged monk and said: "All living beings are empty, without enlightenment, without delusions, without sages, without ordinary people, without giving, without receiving, without joy, without anger, and without Zen. Winning is also empty, and losing is also empty." , what else do you want to talk about?"
"What does the master mean?" Someone was puzzled.
Among the believers around, there are still people who are proficient in Buddhist scriptures, and immediately explained what the old monk said just now.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they looked at the foreign monks with playful eyes.
Don’t you want to talk about Zen? Well, now, Buddhism says that joy and anger are empty, even Zen is empty, so what do you talk about, what do you want to talk about
The middle-aged monk had no expression on his face. In the eyes of everyone watching the joke, he suddenly reached out and slapped the old monk hard on the face.
"stop!"
"presumptuous!"
Seeing this scene, the monks in the surrounding Hanshan Temple couldn't sit still immediately, and gathered around one after another, glaring at the middle-aged monk.
The old monk was also stunned by the beating, his face was in burning pain, and when he came back to his senses, he also looked at him with angry eyes.
After a brief moment of stupefaction, the onlookers turned their eyes badly.
It's fine to disturb the Dharma meeting, but the monks from other countries dare to do something on Jing country's territory, and they don't want to go back today!
"It's over, this monk has two tricks." Li Yi couldn't help but said.
"Why?" Princess Shouning looked up at him.
Li Yi sighed and explained: "The master said just now that he has no joy or anger, so look at his expression now."
Princess Shouning turned her head in doubt, and immediately saw the angry look on the old monk's face, and immediately understood.
What he said by himself, even he couldn't do it, so naturally it can't be counted...
People who didn't understand the reason at first overheard Li Yi's explanation, and they all came to their senses, and the way they looked at the monks changed.
