"Master Han has such Buddha nature, what difference does it make between becoming a monk and joining the world? The poor monk has received the teaching today, so I will say goodbye." Zong Lai bowed solemnly to Han Du and was about to leave.
When Han Du saw that the monk was avoiding talking about giving up his land, he knew that his talk just now was probably in vain. But also, what is land? That is money, that is wealth. Although Buddhism talks about monks and nuns living in vain every day, black eyes still cannot see the money in vain.
It is much more difficult to make people spit out the money they have received than to cut off their wealth, and there is also much more hatred. The fact that Zong Lai was able to talk to Han Du calmly after listening to this already shows that he has profound cultivation.
When Han Du saw Zong Lai, he was about to walk out the door. He rolled his eyes and said softly: "I was worried that being sentimental would harm my holy life. When I entered the mountain, I was afraid of falling in love with you. In the world, I have the best of both worlds. I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you." .”
The world is safe and secure, and it is worthy of the Tathagata and worthy of the Lord. This poem is indeed extremely harmful to Buddhism. Although Yao Yue's lyrics are quite lethal, in comparison, they are still far inferior to this poem.
Because the libretto can only be sung for a while, or it will be slowly forgotten after a few years when the new libretto becomes more popular.
After all, Buddhism has a long-standing reputation that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although this kind of lyrics that can only be circulated for a few years will make Buddhism feel uncomfortable, it will not really damage the foundation of Buddhism.
It's great, but it only lasts a few years, which is why Zong Lai doesn't care too much.
But selling all the temple property is different. This is really digging the foundation of Buddhism. How could Zong Lai agree?
It's not poetry, but it's different. If rap can only be sung for a while, then poetry can be sung for a lifetime, or even be remembered for generations.
If this poem spreads, it can be said to destroy Buddhism's thousand-year reputation. "The world is safe and sound, and I will live up to the Tathagata and I will live up to you." This is the best confession for a lover, but for Buddhism, this is the most vicious poison, more poisonous than the devil.
Zong Lai could no longer maintain his indifferent posture, turned around suddenly, stared at Han Du with red eyes and said, "Do you want to be a Buddha with me until death?"
Han Du was startled by Zong Long's sudden change, and didn't say another word until Zong Long left.
When Zong Lai returned to Tianjie Temple, the expression on his face still concealed deep ferocity. When I arrived at Huixin's meditation room, I saw that she was still doing her homework with her eyes closed, so I pushed the door open and entered. Just when Zong Li's palm was about to touch the door, he stopped, retracted his palm and stood outside the door waiting quietly.
More than an hour later, Huixin finished her homework, got up from the futon, and wanted to open the door and go out for a walk.
As soon as I opened it, I saw Zong Long standing outside the door. I was shocked and was about to say something when I saw Zong Long staring into the void with golden light flashing in his eyes.
Hui Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking of a secret Buddhist legend, and suddenly she didn't even dare to speak out. He glanced around cautiously, carefully and quietly walked around behind Zong Lai, and sat on the ground guarding Zong Lai.
The sun sets and the moon rises, day and night alternate.
When Zong Lai slowly opened his eyes, there was nothing strange inside.
Together, Zong Lai gives the impression that his face is rosy and he looks like he is at least twenty years younger than his actual age. But now Zong Lai looks old, and his skin no longer shows any luster. It's as if all the previously exposed luster has been concealed beneath the skin. It seems that this is what he should have looked like at this age, nothing more and nothing less, just right, neither more nor less.
There is a saying that describes it very well. Divine things hide themselves. This is not only true for things, but also for people.
Zong Lai felt something strange behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Hui Xin guarding his back.
He quickly asked softly: "Junior sister, what are you doing?"
When Huixin heard the senior brother's voice, she knew that the senior brother had woken up. She stood up and turned around. She was about to congratulate Zong Long with a smile, but she was shocked when she saw Zong Long's current appearance.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
With a smile on his face, Zong Long nodded calmly towards Huixin.
Huixin couldn't suppress her inner joy, "Congratulations, senior brother, for making further progress."
Zong Lai didn't feel excited by Hui Xin. He maintained an indifferent attitude from beginning to end. This was true indifference. Before he reached this realm, he had dreamed of it, but now that he had reached it by chance, he really felt that it was nothing more than this.
This is like taking the college entrance examination, facing the top universities in the country. Even if you are a top student, you will still be full of yearning for it when you don't lean into it. But after you pass the exam and study for a few more years, you will get used to everything inside, just like you are used to everything in your own home.
Zong Li waved his hand casually to stop Huixin's excitement, but how could it be so easy to calm down Huixin?
Although she didn't make further progress on her own, she was even more excited than Zong Lai. How could she not be excited? She knew very well that if this news got out, Buddhists all over the world would be even more excited than she was.
"Okay, this is nothing serious, don't mess up your mood."
The strange thing is that Huixin calmed down quickly after Zong Lai's two words. The contrast between before and after was so great that Huixin herself was surprised.
What's happening here?
It's a pity that Zong Long didn't explain it to her, and she didn't dare to ask.
He could only say: "Senior brother, what happened? How could you..."
Seeing Hui Xin's curiosity, Zong Lai didn't hide it from her and said, "Well, it's nothing. It was just that the poor monk went to the Jiaofang Department that day..."
Then Zong Li briefly told Huixin what happened in Jiaofangsi.
When Huixin heard the poem read by Han Du, she tasted it for herself and sighed: "I really underestimated him. I thought he was just a sixth-grade official, even if he was favored by the emperor. What kind of threat is there? I didn’t expect that...if this poem were spread, it would be a big disadvantage to Buddhism. What should we do now? Do we really have to agree to his conditions?"
After Huixin finished speaking, she felt nervous. If it was really because of this incident that the temple field was cancelled, wouldn't his Huixin become a sinner through the ages? Even if she passes away in the future, she will not have the shame to see her master.
But it’s not okay to disagree with Han Du. If he disagrees, Han Du will definitely spread this poem. Even a libretto is so sought after by people. Once the poem is spread, it will be combined with the libretto. Then Buddhism will no longer be able to get rid of the image of "daring to act coquettishly towards the Tathagata". From now on, anyone who looks at nuns and monks will look weird.
