Bachelor

Chapter 182
While enduring the severe pain, Zhengde said in a low voice: "The Diamond Sutra is a Buddhist classic, but everyone has read this book dozens of times, and there is nothing new about it. I don't believe you. Can you tell me something new?"

Sun Dan didn't explain much, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "For more than a thousand years, I don't know how many people have studied the Diamond Sutra, recited the Diamond Sutra, received inspiration from the Diamond Sutra, and enlightened to the Tao because of the Diamond Sutra. The Sutra is a very special part of the Buddhist scriptures. Its greatest feature is that it transcends all religious aspects, but also contains all religious aspects. When we study the Diamond Sutra, we should not limit it to the scope of Buddhism. The scriptures say: "All sages are different based on inaction." That is to say, the Buddha believes that all sages and leaders of all religious achievements have achieved Taoism; The method of transmission is different depending on the place and place.” ——Sorry, Teacher Nan, I’m starting to copy you.

Sun Dan sat upright in front of Zhengde, his body was upright, with an indescribable solemnity.

He used to tell stories in front of the emperor, but he only told some stories and novels. Although he was known as a talented man, he didn't show much difference from ordinary people.

Now it was rare to see him speak seriously, the eunuchs outside all walked to the door quietly, held their breath and listened carefully, wanting to see how brilliant this little genius is.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had to study in the inner study from an early age, and what they learned was not limited to Confucian classics. The teachers who taught were also bachelors of the Imperial Academy, and they practiced elite education.If you talk about real talents and real learning, if you put them outside the palace, they are outstanding, first-class people.

They just heard what Sun Dan said, and they knew how powerful it was, and they all praised in their hearts: It seems that Mr. Sun is indeed a man of great talent.

Sun Dan finished the general outline, and said: "We often quote these two sentences when we talk about enlightenment or Prajna. There is only one moon in the sky, and it shines on the thousands of rivers on the earth. Every river There is a shadow of the moon everywhere, that is, thousands of rivers have water and thousands of rivers and moons. If there is no cloud for thousands of miles, the entire sky is full of endless sunny days, so there is no cloud for thousands of miles. This is a very good state. Many Zen masters became enlightened because of these realms.

When a monk lived in a hut, he wrote a very good pairing: "Wanli Qingtian laughed, and three white houses raised their fists." '..."

Sun Dan went on speaking in such a leisurely manner, from the first grade "Fahui Causes and Reasons" to the last grade "Yinghua is not true".One lecture lasted for two hours, until midnight.

The eunuchs are all well-educated, and they may not lose to Mr. Nan Huaijin in later generations.However, most of the ancients were more rigid in learning, and their vision could not be compared with that of modern people.In the Buddhist scripture that Sun Dan just explained, Mr. Nan added some modern people's views in many places, which is simple and easy to understand.

Everyone was delighted when they heard it, and Sun Dan's point made many things that they couldn't figure out before suddenly become clear and clear, like enlightenment.

Look at Sun Dan again, dressed in green clothes and sitting in front of the emperor, talking eloquently, there is a faint light flickering on his body.

When Sun Dan said the last sentence: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. Like dew and lightning. You should contemplate like this." Someone burst into tears and chanted: "Namo Amitabha!"

Zhengde believed in Buddhism, and even the eunuchs in the palace also studied Buddhism and recited Buddha, and had profound attainments.

For a moment, everyone realized the true meaning of Sun Dan's words, and they all whispered in harmony: "Namo Amitabha!"

"Heaven will not fail me, send Mr. Sun to my side." Zhengde was also trembling with excitement: "I just understood the true meaning of Buddhism today, and my way is not alone! From now on, there will be no more fear, no more loneliness, and great joy .”

Sun Dan stopped, sat there quietly, and waited for Zhengde to fall into a drowsy sleep before standing up: Is this considered hospice care?As an old friend, classmate Zhu Houzhao, I can only do this for you.Religion is the best psychological comfort, I hope you have a good journey.

He calculated the time, and there were still three days before Zhengde's death. During these three days, he should not be able to sleep, and he would not wake up for a moment until the last moment.

This news must be brought to Lu Bing so that he can prepare earlier.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan did not delay, and left the palace under the leadership of the two eunuchs.

Those who sent Sun Dan out were two middle-aged eunuchs, who spoke very kindly, but stayed by their side all the time, refusing to leave even for a moment.Sun Dan immediately understood that it was the emperor who came to monitor him.With these two tails following him, it really made him unthinkable.

Zhengde gave Sun Dan two hours, that is to say, he must return to the palace before dawn.

How can I contact Lu Bing in the middle of the night?

Sun Dan became anxious for a moment.

When they got home, seeing Sun Dan came back, the family was naturally in chaos again.The two eunuchs just followed Sun Dan step by step, not leaving for a moment, even when Sun Dan entered the room with Zhiniang, they stood there and watched.

Although Zhiniang felt very shy, even Sun Dan couldn't help but said: "You two, we are going to sleep at the mouth, there is a guest room over there."

One of the middle-aged ladies said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, please forgive me, we can't help it!"

Sun Dan was bitter for a while, so she had to ask Zhi Niang to avoid her and lie on the bed to sleep.The two eunuchs insisted on guarding Sun Dan's bed all night, which made Sun Dan admire him.

He had something on his mind and couldn't sleep.

It was finally dawn, and before Sun Dan got up, the two eunuchs shouted beside the bed: "Mr. Sun, are you up yet, should you go back with us?"

Sun Dan replied angrily: "Let's go now."

At this time, a boy came to report: "Master Sun, we have a visitor."

Sun Dan was overjoyed, damn it, no matter who it is, as long as it is a human being, there is always a way to send the news.He said loudly: "Tell him to wait in the study, and I will go there."

The person who came didn't announce his name, and Sun Dan didn't have time to ask, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked into the study.The two eunuchs also walked over, but knowing that Sun Dan was in a bad mood, they consciously stood at the door of the study and listened.

As soon as he entered the room, Sun Dan was shocked.

It was none other than Ping Qiuli who had been missing for many days.

This guy was dirty and torn, with white gauze wrapped around his head, and he looked very embarrassed.However, he is still admiring Sun Dan's "Cold Food Stickers" hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back in a graceful manner.

Sun Dan was taken aback, this guy actually came to kill him.However, under the blue sky and broad daylight, there were two servants sent by the emperor at the door, so forgive him for not daring to commit murder openly.He smiled and said, "So it's Brother Ping, why did you want to come and see Sun Dan? By the way, you committed such a serious crime, how dare you go back to the capital. If I were you, I would have fled back to Qingzhou long ago. "

Ping Qiuli turned around and smiled slightly: "What are you going back to Qingzhou for, wandering around the world, hiding your identity and fame? Brother Jingyuan has good plans and tricks. Although Ping was defeated by you, he still admires you very much. If Jingyuan really wants to report to the officials, Ping Qiuli will be arrested without any resistance."

Sun Danhe let out a sigh: "You cast yourself into a trap, of course I'm going to report to the government."

"I'm afraid you don't dare to go." Ping Qiuli sneered: "If the disturbance really becomes known to passers-by, Ping's head will certainly be lost, and that person in the palace will not let Jingyuan go."

Sun Dan laughed: "Brother Ping can see clearly, Sun Dan admires it. I just don't know why Brother Ping came to kill me this time. Could it be that you are here to seek my bad luck?" He somewhat admired Ping Qiuli's courage.
