Wu Yugang looked at the sea and said with a sigh: "Look at the world, how many people are like Wuying who are ignorant of the times. Although the emperor is gone, the way of heaven and human ethics cannot be erased. Although the righteous way is in the hearts of people, who can resist being tempted by their own selfish interests? The cause and effect is that the breath of heaven is swallowed up by those selfish desires, and people in the world have to work hard for their own lives, but people's hearts are not the same as before. People are sticking to their so-called way of heaven. How can the world be peaceful if they go against the will of heaven like this? "
Wuyazi watched his junior brother worry about the world and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The world is so sinister, who can stick to the true principles of heaven and human ethics? No one gets up early without profit. People are so greedy for their own private interests. How can the world be good? And the junior brother can't violate the destiny. Who can change the fate? In these things, is it the heaven or the underworld that is controlling my destiny? It really makes people feel uneasy. Who can control such things in the dark
Wuyazi thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered something. He suddenly said to Wu Yugang who was looking at the sea: "Brother, let's go! The sea god is in charge of right and wrong, good and evil, and there will be people who can distinguish them clearly."
Wu Yugang lowered his head and said nothing, thinking to himself: When I was in the Dragon Palace, my parents loved me so much, but I went out to play without permission and violated the Heavenly Law, so my father, the Old Dragon King, demoted me to the lower world. My father was so fair in enforcing the law, but this world is so chaotic, where can I see justice, where can I talk about fairness? The world is a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and justice is in the hearts of people. In fact, justice is in one's own hands, in the hands of the strong, and the real justice in the world lies in the hands of those who are both strong and abide by the Heavenly Dao. After all, there are only a few people in the world who can truly cultivate the body of a true immortal according to the Heavenly Dao. Who can truly understand and abide by this righteous way that is like a treasure!
Wuyazi continued, "At that time, I heard someone in Shaolin tell me that something unusual seemed to have been discovered in Northern Shaolin. But it's not as serious as here. How about we go and take a look?"
Wu Yugang was shocked by Wuyazi's words. He suddenly woke up from his deep thoughts and asked in surprise: "Really? Why didn't you say it earlier? Maybe these things are related. Although it is said in the martial arts world that all martial arts come from Shaolin, it is not known that Buddhist cultivation is based on oneself, and most of them are based on self-cultivation. Although there are also things like subduing demons and eliminating monsters, after all, they are helpless actions when they are forced into a corner. But Taoism is different. The cultivation of Taoists is all about subduing demons and eliminating monsters. Eliminating one demon will multiply the effect a hundred times. This is the Taoist way of cultivation. Why don't we go and take a look!?"
Wuyazi was quite shocked by his junior brother's words. This junior brother who didn't talk much actually had such a clear understanding of Taoism. He should not be underestimated, but he was also admirable. "Okay!" Wuyazi agreed, and the two brothers rode on the clouds and headed straight for Northern Shaolin.
Shaolin Temple, where all martial arts come from, is indeed extraordinary. Anyone who wants to live and practice in Shaolin, even if he is a cook, if he lives among the people, he will be a master who will shock the world and be hard to beat. The Zen is in daily life, but it does not violate the reputation of Bodhidharma as the ancestral temple of Zen. Such divine will is difficult for the world to understand, so it is famous in China.
The martial arts of Shaolin Temple are well-deserved, but the temple rules of Shaolin Temple are not simple. Without rules, there can be no order. Since the opening of Shaolin Temple, it has never violated the rules of its ancestors. With the changes in society, the temple rules have changed a little, but they are all similar and do not deviate from the Buddhist origin. Therefore, it can achieve its world-renowned name.
Since Master Jingjue returned to Shaolin from Yangjiayu, Shaolin Temple has stepped up its guard. Although Shushan Jingtian Patriarch has invited the demon flag to gather, the Buddhists, Taoists and Confucians in the world are all one family, and it is hard to disobey his intention. However, Buddhism is also a place for meditation, and it is forgivable that it does not care about worldly affairs. Because although Buddhism emphasizes greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, precepts, concentration and wisdom, Buddhism is not free from lust. This lust is not the lust of ordinary people, but the great love for the world, that is, compassion. If you can't empty the four elements, you can't enter the meditation and practice Buddhism, but without great compassion, that is, the heart of universal love, you can't become a Buddha.
Master Jingjue returned to Shaolin and explained the truth to the abbot. As the guardian of the mountain, the abbot had already known the situation. He knew that the martial arts world was in chaos, and that meditation was the only way to achieve Buddhism, and that it was wise to ignore worldly matters. Therefore, he strengthened the defenses, and the entire Shaolin Temple was on high alert. This was to help the Shaolin disciples get through the turbulent times and avoid getting involved in trouble.
Who knows that the way of heaven is unpredictable? When you stay at home, disaster will come from the sky. On this day, the Shaolin disciples still practiced martial arts every day, getting up early and going to bed late, without any changes. However, at noon, two young men in ragged clothes came to the door, knelt outside the mountain gate and refused to leave. The Shaolin disciples asked many questions, and these two people just said that they wanted to fulfill a wish of their parents, converted to Buddhism, and had cultivated a good death.
The Shaolin disciples tried to persuade the monk to no avail, so they hurriedly found the abbot and reported what happened outside the mountain gate. Upon hearing this, the abbot suddenly had a kind idea and left his seat to check.
The host looked at the two ragged young men and felt that they had some affinity with Buddhism, so he said kindly, "Donors, you should go back! Your earthly ties are not over yet! You should go home and support your parents!"
All I heard was the older young man saying, "Master! We have come from a long way, so please take us in! Our parents are old. When they were dying, they told us two brothers that they had done too many sins in their previous life, and only by converting to Buddhism could they have a good end. We cannot disobey our parents' orders, and I hope that Master will grant our wish!" After saying that, he kowtowed and knelt for a long time without getting up!
The abbot felt sorry for the two young men who were so filial. After all, they were brothers in their twenties. It seemed inappropriate to do this. It was really embarrassing, but it was hard to refuse the sincerity of the two young men. What should he do? The abbot thought for a while and said to the two of them, "This is good! You stay here for a few days, and we will decide how to accommodate you. You can also get familiar with the Buddhist rules here."
The abbot was afraid to take in outsiders because of the chaos in the martial arts world. However, Buddhism is compassionate after all, so how could he not save people? A gentleman has the beauty of tolerance and the beauty of sacrifice. A man's ambition cannot be taken away, especially two filial people. How could he be so suspicious of the world? If he rejected these two children who still advocated filial piety, how could their parents feel at ease in the afterlife! ? How should they think about Buddhism
Kindness is good, but sometimes a woman's kindness hurts more than just herself. Who can see clearly and thoroughly such a thing? ? (To be continued)
