Whether it is Gu Qingfeng or Mo Wentian, both of them have heard this sentence and know its meaning.
Heaven and earth don't care about benevolence, nor do they care about inhumanity. Heaven and earth give birth to all things, and they don't want to get any rewards.
Heaven and earth treat everything the same, neither is particularly good to anyone, nor particularly bad to anyone, and everything develops naturally. In other words, no matter what the things become, it is the behavior of all things themselves. It has nothing to do with the heaven and the earth. The sky is still doing the work of the sky, and the earth is still doing the work of the earth. but.
The world is like this, and the saint is no exception.
This is also, Dao begets one, one life two, two begets three, three begets all things, man follows earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
only.
Both Gu Qingfeng and Mo Wentian didn't know what the saying, "Heaven and earth treat all things as grass dogs, and saints are not benevolent and treat people as grass dogs" has anything to do with trust or distrust.
The Daxing Monk explained: "The saints are all ants, and the saints don't care about our life and death at all, because after becoming a saint, there is no so-called good and evil, let alone any emotions, just like the world treats everything. , it doesn't matter benevolence or inhumanity."
"Although the revived ancestors of our Zen sect have not yet become holy, they have practiced Buddhism for a long time, and their four elements have long been empty and their six sense organs are pure. Not only our Zen ancestors are like this, but all the Dao ancestors are like this. I care about the life and death of Zen. It means that they will care. Not only will they not care, but the old monk can tell you with certainty that after cultivating to their level, there is only one obsession in his mind, and that is to pursue the true meaning of the Dao. If he can pursue the Dao, let alone Kill us Zen disciples, even if they kill their parents, they will not frown."
"You two understand what I mean?"
Gu Qingfeng and Mo Wentian nodded.
They all understood.
Just as the Daxing Madman said, it’s not that he doesn’t trust those Zen ancestors, but that the cultivation level of the Zen ancestors has broken away from the category of trust or not, because whether you trust or not, it will not affect those Zen ancestors. What the ancestors did.
"Big line."
Mo Wentian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "You have cultivated for a long time, isn't it? With your cultivation level, even if you can't compare with those ancestors, there is absolutely no difference. Seeking the Dao, you don’t care about things outside of your body, why do you care? They cut off the seven emotions and six desires, have you stumped yourself?”
"The seven emotions and six desires are not cut off immediately, nor can they be cut off just by cutting off." Daxing Daxing Monk responded: "If the seven emotions and six desires were really so easy to cut off, they would have been sanctified a long time ago, let alone pursuing the true meaning of the Dao, which is itself How to cut off this desire?"
"The seven emotions are easy to cut, but the six desires are hard to cut. This is a well-known thing." Mo Wentian said: "But the problem is, as far as I know, you have not cut the seven emotions and six desires until now, but you have never cut it, right? ?”
Daxing Mad Monk didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "That's right! That's indeed the case."
"Why? You don't want to become a saint like those ancestors? Pursue the true meaning of the Dao?"
"But who among those who practice don't want to become gods? Who don't want to pursue the true meaning of the Dao? Of course I also want to, but the truth of the Dao is too illusory. Up to now, no one knows what the true meaning of the Dao is, and no one I can tell clearly that I am a very pragmatic person, if I don’t even know what the true meaning of Dao is, why should I pursue it?”
Monk Daxing said: "As for becoming a god, hehe! I really think about it too, but if the price of becoming a god and sanctification is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, then I would rather not be a god than a saint. I would rather be a sentient being. I want to be a secular living Buddha with a human touch, and I don't want to be a ruthless, desireless, and humane holy Buddha who has attained enlightenment."
"It's better to be a secular living Buddha than to be a holy Buddha, that's a good point!"
Mo Wentian praised: "It is worthy of being a living Buddha in the world, and the realm is just extraordinary."
"Come on, you don't want to be shabby to me." Daxing Daxing Monk stared at Mo Wentian and asked, "Again, as far as I know, you have never cut your emotions and desires since you practiced, right? Why don't you cut?"
"I don't want to practice because I enjoy the process of practice, which carries joys and sorrows, anger, sorrow, joy and detachment from myself, not for the pursuit of so-called godhood and holiness, nor for the pursuit of the so-called true meaning of the Dao. What I pursue is the process of practice. , not the result of practice.”
Daxing Mad Monk nodded, and murmured: "The pursuit is the process of cultivation, not the result." After a moment of comprehension, he gave Mo Wentian an appreciative look, and sighed: "Mo boy, Mo boy, your ideological realm He's taller than me."
Mo Wentian smiled helplessly and said, "Too flattering Mo Mou."
"My old man didn't praise you."
Then the Daxing Mad Monk looked at Gu Qingfeng again, and asked, "Gu boy, what about you, why haven't you cut off the seven emotions and six desires since you practiced? Others may not know it, but the old man knows that you have transcended so many ways, and you have transcended so many ways. Why is it that you are the only one who keeps a heart full of emotions and desires? What's the matter, you are just like Boy Mo, who only pursues the process of cultivation and has no interest in the true meaning of the Dao?"
"I?"
Gu Qingfeng lay back on the chair, crossed his legs, and drank a small wine leisurely. Hearing the question from the Daxing Mad Monk, he shrugged, shook his head, and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I'm not interested in becoming a god or a sage, and I'm not interested in the true meaning of the Dao. As for the process of cultivation, I'm not too interested."
"Then why do you cultivate, kid?"
Beside, Mo Wentian was also quite curious, he also wanted to know the reason why Gu Qingfeng practiced.
"Your question really stopped me. If you want to say what I practiced for, I didn't do anything. Everyone practiced, so I just practiced. I didn't think about why I practiced. This is like everyone They're all alive, and so am I."
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin, pondered hard, and said: "If I have to say what I practiced, it may be for survival, it may be for longevity, or it may be for eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying life. You know, we are a Ordinary people, and very vulgar ones, ordinary people don’t have any big pursuits, they just want to make do with their lives, after all, it’s better to live than to die.”
"Cultivated to your level, you kid is considered a wild flower. Throughout the ages, I'm afraid I can't find another person like you kid."
Daxing Mad Monk shook his head and sighed, "However, even if I don't want to, I have to admit that your kid's seemingly vulgar and dazed attitude towards cultivation is actually desireless. It's really fucking tall."
"There is love and lust, there is no desire and no pursuit, let nature take its course, this is the state of inaction." Mo Wentian also said: "My brother, this kind of state of mind, really makes Mo very envious."
"How is it? Master's realm is high, right? Are you envious?"
Gu Qingfeng was not humble at all, instead of being humble, he laughed out loud, very proudly, and said, "Don't say you two envy the state of mind of the master, even the master envies me! Hahahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, the mad monk Daxing secretly cursed shamelessly, and Mo Wentian was also very speechless.
Of course.
At this moment, a mighty shout suddenly came from the sky.
"Daxing, you old bald donkey, get out of here for grandpa!"
