The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 154: Buddhism in life [ask for monthly ticket]

Views:

So Fang Zheng had made up his mind and would not go up no matter what!

Fang Zheng said, "Thank you for clarifying the poor monk's doubts, but the poor monk still refuses to participate."

"Abbot Fangzheng, there must be a reason for your refusal." Someone immediately asked unwillingly.

Fang Zheng said matter-of-factly: "As Master Yixing said, the rules are the rules. How can they be abolished just because of a poor monk? There is no need to fight for this spot. What's more, the poor monk has read very few scriptures and comprehended even less. There is nothing to say when you go up." Fang Zheng had no intention of hiding this. Being uneducated is not scary, but being uneducated and holding on is scary.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. This was the first time they had met such a master in so many years. Usually everyone fights for it, but this time, everyone refused to persuade him to take it. Is it because there is no stock in the stomach? Sorry to go on stage? Are you still trying to excuse yourself for not having read the scriptures? If you haven't read the scriptures, how can you express such a reasonable sentiment

Although I think so, no one says so.

Thinking of this, the way everyone looked at Fang Zheng became a little complicated. Some were happy for Fang Zheng's frankness, while others believed in Fang Zheng. So they all felt that Fang Zheng, an unlearned boy, hated iron but not steel. Jiang Li, can’t you understand Buddhism well

Zen Master Baiyun spoke again: "Abbot Fangzheng, are you sure you want to give up?"

Fang Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, give up."

Zen Master Baiyun nodded and said, "In that case, Master Thich Xing, then it's up to you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xing smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and said, "Disciple, I obey."

When Hong Jing saw this, he was immediately overjoyed. Until he walked up to the stage and started speaking, he still felt as if he was in a dream. In his opinion, there was absolutely no chance this time. Who would have thought that Fang Zheng would give up on his own initiative? This was simply a piece of cake in the sky! However, Hong Jing also had more things on his mind. Looking at Fang Zheng who was listening to the scriptures carefully, he murmured in his heart: "Is he really generous, or does he have nothing in his stomach?"

On the stage, a group of people was talking about the Avatamsaka Sutra! Naturally, what he can comprehend at his age is limited, but Yixing very cleverly avoided talking about the Avatamsaka Sutra as a whole, and instead explained one point from it.

"The poor monk recited the "Huayan Sutra" day and night, and he had some insights in his heart. Especially the sentence "One is many, many is one" mentioned in the sutra. Many people in the world are deceived by the numbers in it, but they don't You know, the one and the many here do not just represent numbers. They represent one and all dharmas, all dharmas are unified, one transforms all dharmas, and returns to heaven and earth. Between heaven and earth, the heart of self is the only one, and all dharmas in heaven and earth are Evolve from the heart, reach the heart, and all dharmas are born..." The line spoke eloquently for a full twenty minutes, explaining very thoroughly the concept of the single mind that controls all dharmas.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, praised secretly, and even applauded from time to time. This is what the abbots did not receive when they were giving lectures.

When he finished speaking and stood up to salute, everyone gave him thunderous applause!

Hong Jing was even more excited, and his hands were almost swollen.

The group was also very satisfied with the reaction of the monks below, but their eyes would more or less glance at Fang Zheng, who was also applauding.

Zen Master Baiyun smiled and said: "Hongjing, your Jinzhu Temple has a successor in the future."

Hong Jing laughed loudly and said: "That's nature, that's nature..."

Seeing Hong Jing smiling so happily, everyone also smiled knowingly. The previous argument was an argument, but after the argument, everyone was still friends and sincerely happy for Hong Jing.

Zen Master Baiyun said to Yi Xing again: "Yixing, do you have anything to say?"

The group clasped their hands together and said politely: "What the poor monk said is just his personal experience. The poor monk wants Abbot Fangzheng to give his comments."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned. No one expected that Yi Xing would make such a request. But then, everyone suddenly realized...

"This industry is really good at being a good person. This is an opportunity for Fang Zheng to share his experience on stage and become famous together."

"A Bodhisattva has a heart and a good understanding, and his future is limitless..."

Everyone only thought that Yi Xing was repaying Fang Zheng for giving in, but they didn't know that Yi Xing's real intention was to explore Fang Zheng's depth again!

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded. Did he let him go up again? He hid for a long time, but in the end, the blame fell on him again! He has heard and read the Avatamsaka Sutra, but only a little bit. After all, there is fragmented information on the Internet, and it is too laborious to read the entire sutra.

But what makes Fang Zheng happy is, what can Yi Xing say? I have to say that one is many and many is one! This paragraph was what Fang Zheng was reading at the time, and he also had some insights of his own. But because he had read too few scriptures, he didn’t know whether his insights were correct or not. After all, his insights came from looking at mountains, water, and rocks, rather than from the accumulation of scriptures. . I checked other people's opinions on the Internet, and no one was the same as him.

Therefore, Fang Zheng was a little unsure.

Now that the group has come to the door, Fang Zheng has no choice but to bite the bullet.

Seeing that Fang Zheng really came on stage, the group felt a little regretful and thought: "Does he really have the ability? However, even if he does have the ability, I have good intentions and he can't blame me. If he doesn't have the ability, huh... I'm also cracking down on fakes. That’s all.”

Fang Zheng came up to the stage and saluted Zen Master Baiyun. Then he clasped his hands and saluted everyone. Then he sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "There is really nothing I can do. I dropped the broken jar, so I closed my eyes." You’re just talking nonsense, if it works, there’s nothing you can do if it doesn’t work.”

Then Fang Zheng said: "The poor monk has a somewhat different view on the saying in the Avatamsaka Sutra that one is many and many is one."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned. They came up and said that they had different feelings. They were going to compete with a group of people! Suddenly everyone became energetic and wanted to see what Fang Zheng could figure out!

Fang Zheng said: "The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering, but where is the suffering of all living beings? The Yizhi Temple where the poor monk lives is very remote, and only a handful of people go up the mountain every year. The poor monk's master went to Hexi last year, and now there are only a few people left. The poor monk himself could only guard the empty temple to understand some things that he didn't quite understand. Until one day, a wolf and a squirrel entered the poor monk's life, and the poor monk suddenly understood! When the wolf was full, he I am very happy. The squirrels are also full. Some of them are happy when playing. They are carefree and leisurely every day. But people are different. People suffer when they are hungry. When they are full, they still suffer if they want to eat well. The suffering of not having children is there. Children dislike tiredness and suffering... All living beings suffer, but animals alone are happy? What's the explanation

As Master Thich Hsin said, all laws come from the heart, all phenomena come from the heart, and everything comes from the heart. There is only one mind, but the mind can evolve into endless troubles. Therefore, the Buddha said that one is many. And many are one. The poor monk believes that only by abandoning those worries and turning thousands of worries into a simple heart can we truly be liberated and gain great freedom! "

As soon as Fang Zheng said this, everyone was dumbfounded, silent, and even shocked!
