On the scorched top of the mountain, Lin Minxian stood there alone, watching his men getting fewer and fewer under the gunfire. When he was unable to fight back under the machine gun fire from the armored vehicle, he was also attracted by a shelling.
He also saw the black cloud rising up like an inverted Buddha statue. Then, he stretched out his hand towards the black cloud and opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak for a long time.
"lead!"
The men quickly came over and pushed Lin Minxian down, and immediately his position was swept by a row of bullets.
"Leader, are you okay?"
Lin Minxian looked up again and saw a dirty fox with charcoal dust rubbed down from the scorched earth-like hillside. The fox was sitting in front of him with its mouth open and its tongue hanging out as if smiling. .
It's the fox again.
Lin Minxian turned around and asked, "Did you see it?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment and looked around carefully: "What do you see?"
"Reinforcements are coming?"
Lin Minxian turned his head again, and the fox sat there shaking his head and looking at him, as if he was adjusting his viewing angle.
The upside-down black Buddha, the fox invisible to others, the Eastern Shan State is about to fully occupy the Wa State, and it is about to eat Yang Rong's troops... everything seems to be explaining a truth.
Lin Minxian turned over and looked up at the sky. He really wanted to ask what this was.
Can……
There seemed to be no answer in the sky where gunpowder smoke was constantly rising.
"Leader, let's break out!"
Lin Minxian just let his subordinates pull him up. Just like when he was the leader of the "Red The green mountains were left intact, so I crossed the border and came here without fear of running out of firewood.
He thought he could start all over again!
Yes, he did start all over again, and established a political regime called "Eastern Shan State" on this land. As a result, the "Wa State" was treated like chickens, unable to move at all.
Later, he finally found an opportunity to occupy half of the Wa State, and was even just one step away from holding the entire Wa State in his hands...
"It's Yehu Zen."
After Lin Minxian's men heard these four words, they were all confused. They asked from which direction to break out, not whether they were greedy or not.
Seeing that his subordinates didn't understand, Lin Minxian stretched out his hand, grabbed his shoulders and shook them vigorously: "It's Yehu Chan!"
He stood up unsteadily and pointed at the empty scorched earth: "Don't Yehu Chan know?"
"An eminent monk was teaching the Dharma and was asked, 'After attaining enlightenment, will I still be affected by cause and effect?' The eminent monk replied, 'I am not affected by cause and effect.' From then on, I became a fox!"
The men were even more confused, and no one dared to speak easily.
Lin Minxian pointed at himself: "I, I am the monk who turned into a fox!"
"It was wrong to be a 'Red X Soldier' in Hainan, but I couldn't see it at all. I still went on the wrong path and became the biggest one. God had already given me a chance at that time, and he let me run here. !”
Lin Minxian saw that his subordinates could not understand, so he simply waved his hand and said to himself: "Later, the fox refused to accept it and didn't know where he was wrong. He listened to Zen questions every day, and finally waited until he gave a lecture. Zen Master Baizhang.”
"After listening for many days, the fox was sure that Zen Master Baizhang was an eminent monk. Finally, when the lecture was over and everyone dispersed, he stayed alone and asked him the same question as others asked him, 'After attaining enlightenment, are you contaminated with cause and effect?'"
"Zen Master Baizhang replied, 'I don't know the cause and effect'."
At this point, Lin Minxian suddenly turned around: "Do you understand? There is no ignorance of cause and effect!"
"It's not about untainted karma!"
"Although there is a one-word difference, in the final analysis it is fundamentally wrong."
"Yehu Zen is not talking about the great enlightenment, nor is it talking about the misery of being punished as a fox for five hundred lives for one wrong word, nor is it talking about the evil heretics that the Taoist defenders argue against!"
"Yehu Zen, what I want to say is that you were wrong from the beginning, but if you don't admit it and continue on this wrong path, you will only go further and further!!"
"Being reborn as a fox, the punishment is not for making a single mistake, but for knowing that it is wrong, but mistakenly thinking that it is right and not repenting;"
"After the fox learned about the cause and effect, he begged Monk Baizhang to bury himself. What he buried was not his physical body, but his years of obsession. What he buried was the self who didn't ask for explanations but insisted on arguing with others."
Lin Minxian had a wry smile on his face, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I was already wrong back then... After I got here, I didn't know where I went wrong. I once again pulled up the team and gained territory, causing my mistakes to pile up debts, as if they were originally A leaning tower will eventually collapse..."
"So after Ade achieved some achievements, he started to be arrogant. When his pocket was cleaner than his face and he didn't have any skills in his hands, he started to feel humbled and embarrassed!"
Lin Minxian looked at his men and asked again: "Do you understand this time?"
"Crazy...the leader is crazy!"
"He's crazy!"
The remaining soldiers from the Eastern Shan State turned around and left. Lin Minxian was the only one left on the top of the mountain. At that moment, he looked at the artillery fire at his feet and said: "I have never been so sober in my life."
At that moment, Lin Minxian stood on the high mountain and swung his robe sleeves. It seemed that the gongs and drums on the stage were ringing again in his ears. This time he planned to sing the last drama of his life with the gunfire all over the mountain, including the opening sentence: " That’s it~” he shouted out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn’t sing anymore.
He found that no words seemed to match his mood at this moment...
His state of mind is life.
His sublimation is life.
He spent his whole life living a mistake, and the final result was still only two words: life.
But what Lin Minxian understood was not Buddhism, but why he escaped into Buddhism after his great enlightenment, because by retreating into Buddhism you can gain liberation, and you don't have to bear the burden of mistakes.
In Buddhism, if you make a mistake, you are wrong. You can recite sutras and do good deeds, but at worst, you should pay it forward.
How do you pay it back in the real world?
You have people besieging you on the top of the mountain. You brought out a regiment and asked two regiments plus a mechanized unit to attack in a sneak attack. All predictions have failed, and only failure is left. How can you reverse time and space at this time?
impossible.
This is Lin Minxian's profound enlightenment. What he realized was not 'emptiness', but 'self-recognition'!
Lin Minxian sat in the scorched earth on the top of the mountain, supporting himself with his hands, feeling the wind on the battlefield. At that time, the dusty clothes on his body didn't seem so dirty anymore, or it didn't matter whether they were dirty or not.
The Eastern Shan State that he has always been thinking about is not that important anymore, or in other words, no matter how important it is, he can't get involved.
Lin Minxian knew that it was impossible for a powerful person to let him escape. No matter which direction he broke through, he would only be greeted by a hail of bullets, so why run?
Isn’t it okay if he doesn’t run away?
He admits it! (End of chapter)
