Thirty-Third: Discussion of Law in the Temple

Guiyuan Temple is a famous temple in the provincial capital. It was built by Bai Guang and Zhufeng, two laymen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was later formed by wealthy businessmen in the provincial capital. The name of the temple is Guiyuan, which is taken from the sentence “Guiyuan is the same, and there are many methods of convenience” in the Lengjia Sutra, which means that all dharmas are unified, and there are different methods of convenience. The temple is divided into five courtyards, east, west, south, north, and middle. There are 28 halls and pavilions in existence. The buildings contain a lot of scriptures and incense.

Most of the name plaques of temples are hung with horizontal scripts embedded in the lintels of the three gates of the temples, but Guiyuan Temple has a straight plaque, which is rare in the country and can be called a wonder in Tallinn. Before Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the name of Guiyuan Temple and other temples were generally written in horizontal script. Emperor Daoguang was delighted to hear that Baiguang and the main peak had accumulated good deeds and meritorious deeds. The Seal of the Patriarch”, to praise his actions. Since then, the status of Guiyuan Temple has been greatly improved among the thousands of temples, and the name of the temple has been changed to Zhishu, which can only be used by buildings bestowed by the emperor.

Yi Tianxing followed Xiao Xiao to the gate of the temple, glanced at the big straight plaque at the gate of the temple, on which was written three big golden characters on a red background: “Guiyuan Temple”, and looked at the crowd of tourists in front of him, couldn’t help but wrinkled Frowning, he thought to himself that this temple was only built during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was in a densely populated place. It really doesn’t seem to have any spiritual energy. Lifted and walked in.

The Buddha statues in the temple are solemn, there are many wood carvings and stone carvings, and the thick sandalwood is lingering among them. Xiao Xiao thought that Yi Tianxing, the fake young master, was just here to see something new, so he tried his best to show off his poor tour guide skills. Yi Tianxing smiled and listened for a while, then sent him away, and was alone in the temple. Wandering around, while the tourists are not paying attention, go to those secluded places.

Yi Tianxing has supernatural powers and has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Recently, he has also learned the method of fire control from the Sanwei Zen Sutra. He naturally has an innate sense of intimacy with Zen temples. Hearing the whispers beside my ears, I felt that my mind and body were in good shape, and I just wanted to sit down on the spot and set up a lotus platform to meditate.

Somehow, he slowly walked out of the main temple and came to the back garden.

He hurried to the back garden only to find that the Guiyuan Temple, which was quite small, had five courtyards scattered in an orderly manner. The red walls and yellow eaves made the viewer feel that the entire temple is a red background. , the cassock pierced with golden threads, a force of impenetrable energy runs across the sky and the earth, as if giving life to the cassock.

When Yi Tianxing saw this wonderful place, he was naturally amazed.

A monk in white came out from the small wooden door in the corner of the temple, and closed his eyes at him. Yi Tianxing hurriedly returned the salute, seeing that the monk was old, his brows were slightly flustered, but his eyes were clear and energetic, which seemed to be a bit of a master, Yi Tianxing’s thoughts moved slightly, thinking that he must be looking for the old grandfather The matter of never forgetting the voice fell on this monk who suddenly appeared

The monk said again, “The benefactor has come to a place where he should not have come.”

“Where Shouldn’t Come”

The monk’s face was calm, but with a condescending feeling, he said leisurely: “Buddhism is a quiet place, how can ordinary people disturb it.”

Seeing that he was not polite, Yi Tianxing couldn’t help being interested, and responded with a slight smile: “Since the door of convenience is wide open, where is it not a place to save the world?”

Guiyuan Temple, the name of the temple is taken from the Lengjia Sutra. Yi Tianxing was annoyed at him for being unreasonable. In reply to his sentence, the first sentence used the scripture of convenience in “Guiyuan’s nature is unique, and there are many conveniences” implied by the two characters of the monastery’s name Guiyuan, while the second sentence was the Buddhist scriptures of Zen Buddhism. There is a historical story in the above. On that day, Bodhidharma, the first ancestor of Zen, taught Huike with the Lenga Sutra and said: “I look at the Han land, and this is the only sutra. The benevolent follow it and survive the world.” This sentence is unreasonable to assassinate monks. Since the name of the temple clearly states that it is necessary to open the door of convenience and pass people through the world according to the Lengga meridian, why refuse peopleoutside the door

The monk concentrated on it for a while, and then realized the meaning of this sentence. It seemed that he hadn’t thought that this young man had such an understanding of Buddhist scriptures. A trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then he smiled and saluted again: “The benefactor turned out to be a member of the Dharma sect. The poor monk Reckless.”

Yi Tianxing also reunited.

“But” the monk said with a smile again: “The adoption of Jingde’s Lantern was compiled and usurped by Dao Yuan in the Song Dynasty. Two words.”

Yi Tianxing knew that this monk was competing with him, so he sneered secretly in his heart, saying that this kind of monk is eager to win, how can he realize that the Zen mind is far inferior to his own level, and how can he be the one he is looking for The expert, thinking in his heart, was not slow in his mouth, and asked: “Master, this cassock is also plain.”

The monk lowered his eyebrows and said quietly: “External objects disturb the mind, so you should maintain a pure and pure view.”

Yi Tianxing looked down on posturing people the most in his life. When he was in high school, there was no one around him who could share with him. At this time, it was rare to see a person from the Buddhist sect. He thought he was a truly wise person with a wise heart, but unexpectedly he was still the same Pretentious, I couldn’t help but look down on this guy even more, snorted and said: “The cassock is five-cloth, seven-cloth and coat-three-class, that is, the so-called Antuhui, Yutuoluo monk, and Sanghali. Your cassock looks like a beach. The eighth of the Vinemu Sutra also said: The color of the bhikkhus’ clothes faded away, and the Buddha listened to ten kinds of color dyeing: one is clay, the second is the bark of the Tuo Po tree, the third is the bark of the Tuo Po tree, and the fourth is the bark of the Tuo Po tree. It’s not grass.” The more he spoke, the more contempt grew in his eyes, and the faster he spoke, the more astonished the monk became.

“There are also three bad colors and five bad colors. Blue and black are mixed together, and the wrong color is taken, which is called bad color. You are plain white, so what kind of bad color is incompatible? Forget the law and be confused.” Yi Tianxing didn’t show any face to the monk, and spit out a series of words, and his voice became louder at this time, attracting a group of monks who were meditating in the back garden of Guiyuan Temple to come out.

The monks couldn’t help being surprised when they saw that a student who looked like a student was arguing with Senior Brother Ye Xiang, who seemed to have the upper hand.

The monk named Ye Xiang was scolded by Yi Tianxing for a while, his face was blushing, and he argued with a strong face: “The benefactor is obsessed with the style of clothing, and that is the real appearance.”

Yi Tianxing snorted softly in his nose and said: “Dare to ask, how do you say the sentence in the 40th li of the law of four divisions?” Without waiting for the answer from the monk Ye Xiang, he said in a clear voice: “Buddhist Shariputra entered the white-clothed house, deeply Fearing that the wind would blow the cassock, he took off his shoulders and fell to the ground, holding the scriptures at home. This passage in the book explains that the white-clothed house is used by ordinary people. I admire you.”

After laughing twice in admiration, he had drifted to the gate of Guiyuan Temple.

“Please stay.”

A monk in a miscellaneous brown cassock is standing next to him. When all the monks in the temple saw this person earlier, they saluted together: “Master.”

Yi Tianxing looked at him intently and closed his eyes.

The abbot of Guiyuan Temple walked up to Ye Xiang, who was dressed in white, and sighed: “Your apprentice, I was beaten by the benefactor today, and I am still not alert.” Ye Xiang said yes in shame.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly and said: “It’s a mistake. You are young and energetic, but you are quick to talk. I hope the master will forgive me.”

The host smiled kindly and said: “What’s the matter, the benefactor is proficient in Buddhist scriptures and disciplines, and he is very strict in his discipline, which makes me a little envious of people from outside the area. Please go to the side room to talk quietly.”

Yi Tianxing would not let go of this opportunity to delve into the secrets of Guiyuan Temple, he smiled and followed the host to the back garden.

There is a small lake in the back garden of Guiyuan Temple. At this time, it began to rain suddenly. The raindrops are like silk like smoke, and the white rain is diffused like a thick fog, gradually blowing across the lake, the whole backyard is empty and deserted, a few pieces of new lotus are floating on the lake, across the water, the green trees on the opposite bank can be faintly seen Standing in rows in the rain.

“The benefactor is from the last three days.” The host looked at the water surface with clear eyes, seemingly unintentionally asked.

Yi Tianxing was startled, and his heart was suddenly happy, but then he was sour. Until now, he, who had always regarded himself as a monster, was finally willing to believe the old master’s words. It turns out that the last three days really existed. It turns out that there are really many existences in this world who are like me and are much higher than ordinary people. It turns out that I am not really alone.

Yi Tianxing looked at the host, trying to stabilize his mood, with the most sincere smile on his face, “The host seems to know a lot.” At this moment, he completely forgot to ask about the voice, and just wanted to find out who his comrades were. Where.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, the host who was still calm before sighed quietly.

This sigh is like a fragment picked from the wind, and like a piece of lotus fragrance cut on the lake.

The next moment, Yi Tianxing felt an extremely stern murderous aura, and with this sigh, from the lotus fragrance in the wind, it hit him everywhere:
