My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 71 Master and Mei Knocking on the Mountain Gate

Liu Dashao took beauty to visit Jiangnan, and the little monk Liaofan he met in the past is now repenting in the temple!

There is a temple in a certain mountain in Liangfu of the Dalong Dynasty. The temple is not big, but it has all the internal organs. There are [-] Arhats in it, and the supplies of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can be found everywhere.

The abbot of the temple sent away the last group of pilgrims in the temple, and looked at the back of the Mahavira Hall who was still kneeling on the ground and put his hands together: "Amitabha, everything is cause and effect, the cycle of cause and effect, this is a fixed number, the will of God cannot be violated, the will of God cannot be violated. change."

Liaofan knelt in front of a golden Buddha, his lips moved, silently praying for something.

At this time, a kind-faced old monk silently walked in front of Fan, looked at Liao Fan who was still kneeling, and sighed softly.

"Master, it's getting late, this temple is going to be closed, Master Yan has been waiting outside the hall for a long time, Master, you should go down the mountain, Master has traveled to this temple but there is no guest room to entertain, I hope Master will forgive me, I hope Master will go down the mountain earlier and find a place to stay. ."

Liaofan raised his head and looked at the old monk in front of him: "Abbot, do you think the Buddha can really hear the little monk's prayer?"

The abbot shook his head: "Master, the poor monk does not know, but the Buddha pity the world, if there is a fate, the master's prayer, the poor monk, think the Buddha will definitely hear it."

Liaofan closed his eyes in disappointment: "The abbot said that the Buddha's law is boundless, and the little monk has always believed in it in the temple. Can't the Buddha also relieve the anger in the little monk's heart?"

The abbot shook his head: "Master, my Buddha pays attention to cause and effect. The so-called cause must have effect. Whatever cause the master plants, he will get whatever effect. Everything is destined, and the benefactor sees the will of God."

He said: "Since the Buddha can't solve the troubles in my heart, what's the use of the little monk chanting sutras and chanting Buddha every day? It's not empty, everything is empty, only I, the Buddha, are not empty? All four are empty?"

The abbot closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha, Buddha said: Cause and effect cannot be changed, self-feeding and self-resulting cannot be replaced by others; wisdom cannot be given: anyone who wants to develop wisdom cannot do without his own training; the truth cannot be said: The truth of the universe cannot be explained in words, and can only rely on empirical evidence; there is no fate and cannot be saved: people who have no fate, including those who do not believe in Buddhism at all and those who are half-believers, will not believe no matter what they say, and they will not listen to your words. Although the rain from the sky is heavy, it does not moisten the grass without roots; the Buddha Dharma is boundless, and the difficulty is unfavorable, Master, do you understand?"

Liaofan's expression became gloomy: "The abbot said that I am a monk who is not firm in his devotion to the Buddha? Is it difficult to obtain liberation?"

The abbot said to Amitabha Buddha: Master, everything has its own set, why do you have to worry about yourself, and why do you have to make trouble for poor monks? "

Liaofan said: "Since the Buddha said that everything can be saved, and since everything can be saved, why can't the little monk be saved. The little monk's delusions have moved very people to be able to save it."

The abbot recited the Buddha's name: "All sentient beings are Buddhas, and Buddhas are all sentient beings. Lord Yan Shi is both sentient beings and Buddhas, so why does the master have to show signs?"

Liaofan stood up with his hands folded and said, "Abbot, it's not the little monk who looks like a little monk. The little monk comes to pay homage to the Buddha every day to recite the sutras. Since the Buddha said that he can save all sentient beings, why haven't he seen the little monk who has transcended the Buddha, but the abbot said that everything is there. Fixed number."

The abbot looked as if he was caught in obsession: "Bitterness is not suffering, pleasure is not pleasure, it's just a momentary obsession. If you are attached to a single thought, you will be trapped in a single thought; if you let go of a single thought, you will be free in your heart. , The state is created by the heart, and the troubles are all born from the heart. Some people, some things, can be met but not asked, and only pain can be forced. In this case, relax your mind and let nature take its course. That's it.

Liaofan shook his head: "I understand what the abbot said, but I just can't let go of my obsession. Since the Buddha can't save the little monk, why should the little monk kneel and worship him every day, it's not just an empty dream"?
The abbot sighed: "Masters need to know that if you look down, you will be in a good mood; if you want to open up, you will have a good mood. Everything is in the way, it depends on how you look at it. Everything is a prism, and you can see different results from different angles. An apple, Some people like to enjoy its color, some people want to taste its delicious taste. What you care about is good for you. Times have changed, and what you once hoped for may be worthless today. Prosperity [-], underestimation is cloudy smoke; Open is sunny.”

Liaofan laughed: "Bearish? Want to open it? Not to mention me, even if it is a Buddha, can you be bearish, can you think about it?"

The abbot said: "The Buddha said, there is no form of self and no form of sentient beings."

Lifan took a step back and said, "Since the Buddha is despised, if the Buddha is not greedy, why should the world worship him? The Buddha does not love vanity, so why should the world bow down? I have a Buddha in my heart, but the Buddha has no self. The little monk suffered from false thoughts and got a sentence. Everything is fixed, how can you let the little monk be reconciled?"

Liaofan took a staggering step back and looked at the golden Buddha statue in front of him: "I only see the Buddha crossing the gold, but I don't see the Buddha crossing the people. In this case, why does the little monk worship him every day, and how do you explain it, abbot?"
The abbot shook his head: "Everyone in the world has seven emotions and six desires, and the seven emotions and six desires are all delusional thoughts in the eyes of my Buddha. If people in the world do not have such delusional thoughts as greed, why would they come to worship the Buddha for peace of mind? Now, why do you seek Buddha’s liberation? The Master is a human being, not a Buddha, and the Master is also a human being. The world’s people have seven emotions and six desires.

Looking at Fan Jingting's expression: "The master asked, why does the Buddha need the worship of the world, the donor knows that the Buddha is just a belief, and the Buddha statue is just a mud womb. As long as the human heart has seven emotions and six desires, it is delusional thoughts, and if the delusional thoughts are not eliminated for a day, this Buddha statue will be worshipped here forever.”

The abbot seemed to have thought of something, sighed slightly, held the Buddha beads in his hand, and silently recited Amitabha.

"As for what the master said, why does the Buddha enjoy the world's kneeling and worship, the donor knows that the Buddha is innocent, the sin is in the human heart, and the mind is evil, and the Buddha is not a Buddha. All living beings are Buddhas, so the people of the world are not bowing down to the Buddha, but their own repentance, and they litigate in front of the Buddha just to release the accumulated evil in their hearts, just like a master coming to confide in their lust.”

Liaofan's eyes widened: "Master knows why the little monk is troubled?"

The abbot smiled lightly and nodded: "Master has been practicing in the temple for a long time, and he first entered the world of the mortal world. It is inevitable that he will be blinded by the flowers and willows of the world. It is not because the master's heart toward Buddha is unstable, but the master has always been a person in this world. The donor accompanies the master to chanting scriptures at the temple gate every day, with tenderness in his eyes, and the master's delusion is that he falls into lust and cannot extricate himself."

Looking at Fan's gradually enlightened eyes, the abbot smiled: "The master asked the poor monk why the Buddha was covered with gold, but the Buddha never saved the world. Master, if the world has no evil thoughts, why should the Buddha be gilded for the sake of it? The Buddha blesses, it is not that the Buddha does not save the world, just because he has desires in his heart, but he prays to rely on the Buddha to bless, how can the Buddha save the unlucky people, and the poor monk also has secular thoughts in his heart, so he saves the golden body of the Buddha every year, and is in front of the Buddha every day. chanting."

Liao Fan bowed to the abbot: "The abbot understands Xiao Seng's confusion, and he is the master of the Tao. It is because Xiao Seng is too obsessed. Xiao Seng reads the scriptures in the temple. I didn't tell the little monk how to resolve the world's Zen, it turns out that Zen is really not in the Buddhist scriptures."

The abbot looked at the dust and said, "Master, there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-lasting resentment, unable to seek, and unable to let go. The Buddha said: Life is created by oneself, appearance is born from the heart, and everything in the world is transformed. Phase, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, everything does not change. Sitting is also Zen, walking is also Zen, a flower is a world, a leaf is a Tathagata, spring comes and flowers are green, autumn leaves fall, infinite prajna The mind is at ease, the speech is silent, the movement is still and the body is natural.”

After the abbot finished speaking, Fan Fan looked at the abbot: "What the abbot said, has the little monk's heart moved?"

"Master, the Buddha said: "No matter who you meet, he is the person who should appear in your life. He has a reason and a mission. It is not accidental. He will definitely teach you something, and those who like you will give it to you. Warmth and courage; people you like teach you love and self-control; people you don't like teach you tolerance and respect; people who don't like you teach you introspection and growth.No one appears in your life for no reason. Everyone's appearance is fate and is worthy of gratitude.One flower and one leaf is a Zen machine, and Master Yan is also a Zen master. If there is no debt, how can we meet. "

Lichen opened his eyes slightly: "Abbot, although Xiao Seng understands, Xiao Seng wants to know that entering Zen is a Buddha, and leaving Zen is a Buddha?"

The abbot said: "The Tao cultivates this life, the Buddha cultivates the next life, and poor monks don't know the answer. The answer must be asked by the master himself."

Liaofan bent down and said, "Abbot, you are an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. Please answer the question for the little monk."

The abbot said the Buddha's name: "The master has won the award, the poor monk is a mountain and wild monk, An Neng can be called a master monk, the master knocks on the mountain gate with beauty, the master's Zen machine Buddha said: can't say, can't say."

"Amitabha, the little monk resigned and thanked the abbot."

In the Wuming Temple on Wuming Mountain, the abbot points out the little master.The obsessed monk was robbed of love, and it is unknown if he went out of Zen and entered into Zen.

"Little monk, you came out, my feet are sore waiting."

"Amitabha, the little monk has seen the donor Yan, and the donor Yan has been waiting for a long time."

Yan Yu looked angrily: "Little monk, how many times have I said it, you can call me Yan Yu, or Miss Yan, but you are not allowed to call me the benefactor of Yan, but this girl has never given anything to you."

Liaofan held the rosary and sighed: "The donor has given, but I don't know it yet."

Yan Yu waved her hand unhappily: "I can't understand the Zen language you speak in the fog every day. Will the little monk come to chant the Buddhist scriptures tomorrow?"

"Xiao Seng's scriptures are already clear, there is no need to climb the gate, Xiao Seng will continue to wander."

"Great, I finally don't have to climb the mountain gate to see the Buddha statue every day. My girl's leg hurts."

"The little monk's fault, how about the little monk carrying the donor down the mountain?"

Yan Yu hesitated for a while, and then leaned on Fan's back gently.Liao Fan gently supported Yan Yu's plump and smooth legs, as heavy as a mountain.

The abbot looked at the two who came down the mountain and nodded lightly: "It is the mountain when you carry it on your back, and Zen when you put it down. The master travels around the Wuming Temple, and the predestined relationship before the Buddha is not the predestined relationship."
