The winter moon in Dayuan comes later than in Beiyanze. A few days ago, there was snow in the north. It quickly took advantage of the wind and calmly walked down to the north of Dayuan, and then swept the whole territory naturally. It was not as soft as other places.
The attack is fast and rough, just like a pack of wolves, hungry when winter is approaching, always thinking of filling their stomachs with all the passing meat, so as to have more support during the winter.
At this time of year, there were swordsmen in green clothes, an old man and a young monk, suddenly walking in the Great Yuan border gate. They still did not go through the main entrance. Instead, they entered individually with their own housekeeping powers, and then looked for a place to rest for the time being. Wu Shuang was still in the prime of his spring and autumn, and he still felt comfortable with the methods he used, without feeling any sluggishness at all. However, considering that although Zen Master Fu Kong was also at a high level, he never rested along the way, it was inevitable that he would not be able to compare to what he had done back then, so he took the time to look for it. We are at the boundary of the area. Firstly, we want to rest and settle down. Secondly, we plan to find out the location and current situation of Qingbuqiu Temple first. Once we have a good idea, we can go to visit the mountain to pay homage. Although Juenian, the master of Wuqiu Temple who wears moon-white monk robes, has only been away from the temple for two years, even though he is very familiar with the situation and location of Wuqiu Temple, it has been two years since he left the temple. He dare not say clearly what is going on in the temple now. situation. Therefore, when Wu Shuang mentioned the matter, Zen Master Fukong rarely refuted it. In the end, he just said bitterly, "You have a time when you are too old. You are just gloating about others' misfortune. In the future, the young disciples in the mountain will also have to do it." Don't feel like you are taking advantage of yourself by making fun of someone like this.
Juenian was quite taciturn all the way. The reason was easy. Wu Shuang and Zen Master Fu Kong could guess the general idea. Not to mention other things, Juenian did not ask for help from the master of the temple, but came to ask for wooden clams, one of the Seven Wonders of Buddhism. , was suppressed by Zen Master Fu Kong based on his supernatural power. After some suggestions, he also felt that it was inappropriate not to ask for a temple. In addition, he was very curious that everyone in Zhongtai Temple was indifferent, so he simply stayed in the temple, and now he is with the two of them. When I go to the Buqiu Temple to worship the mountain, my heart is naturally as messy as a hemp.
Wu Shuang was well versed in Jianghu affairs, and after settling down, he went out to inquire about news, leaving only Zen Master Fu Kong and Juenian to rest in the inn.
There was a heavy snowfall in the Great Yuan Dynasty. There was only one lantern in the house and the sky was as dark as night. It was difficult for me to calm down no matter what, so I walked to the table by myself, borrowed the meager light, spread out a piece of rice paper of poor quality, and lightly twisted it. Pen and ink, copy Buddhist scriptures silently.
Throughout the ages, there are countless Buddhist scriptures and famous monks. Most of the troubles in the world can be found in the vast sea of Buddhist scriptures. However, since we are human beings, the so-called jumping out of the three realms and not being in the five elements is already a myth. Onlookers are confused by the authorities. Since ancient times, Even if there is, what's more, now I think that the Dharma is not profound. At least it is not as good as that of Zhongtai Temple who has been at the head of the sermon of bliss. It is also not as good as the one who seems to be careless and profound, and his words are often undisguised. Zen Master, it is inevitable that I will become more bored and depressed. Even when I recite and copy the Buddhist scriptures silently, I hesitate much more than before.
"How did Juenian read the Buddhist scriptures? I think he was the master of the Buddhist temple at a young age. He is said to be better at Buddhism than the old man. His talent is mediocre and his connections with Buddhism are not deep. His understanding is very loose. It can be said that he has read a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures. , most of them were coerced and induced by the abbot master when I was young. Every time I read a volume of Buddhist scriptures, I can have more than ten days of leisure to practice martial arts. I'm afraid I can't keep up with you after living so many years."
"Abbott, why bother to be so self-deprecating?" Juenian put down his pen and ink, bowed slightly to Zen Master Fu Kong who was leaning in front of the desk, and said apologetically, "I should be resting and recuperating, but my heart is not at peace, so naturally I have to There is no sense of freedom and purity, and I can only think about copying Buddhist scriptures to soothe my mind. However, the noise is too loud, which makes Zen Master Fukong unable to live in peace. It really shouldn't be."
The old monk was magnanimous, waving his hands without caring, with a calm expression. He carefully looked at the neat lines of writing on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said vaguely, "Looking at the horizontal one, you are calm, and the vertical one." It is pure and natural. It is said that enlightenment is originally a person who has clear thoughts and knows the common principles of the world. But if it is his turn, the method of relieving worries is not clever. Buddhism is profound, but it is often used as a means of relieving worries and troubles. You might as well think about it Think about it, if you are really troubled by all kinds of things, even if the Buddha's teachings are so high, how can you really relieve your worries? It's like if your house is on fire, you don't work hard to carry water to put out the fire, but you are hoping that God will favor you and give you a heavy rain to save your house. Trying to put out the fire is always going astray.”
"The old saying is, don't lean on the railing when you are alone. Although it is biased, it can always draw some wonderful parallels. When the wind and rain are swaying around you, seeing the Dharma is like quenching your thirst. Over time, you will inevitably regard the Dharma as a savior. The best medicine for oneself in times of crisis is actually putting the cart before the horse. Ever since we entered Buddhism, we have always said that faith is the most authentic. You need to believe it first, and then seek a way to transcend. No matter how illusory it is, you must first have faith. "Buddha's predestined relationship, and then talk about having something to offer and something to gain. It's not bad to just rely on this to achieve peace of mind without practicing hard, but it still feels like you have lost your original intention."
Fu Kong's words were spoken lightly, but in the ears of Jue Nian, who was feeling a little depressed at this time, such easy words instantly gave him some extra flavor, but unfortunately, there seemed to be little mystery in the first place. A thirsty person tastes clear water, and this is probably what it tastes like. Therefore, he was slightly absent-minded for a moment, but could not think of anything more. He smiled bitterly at the old monk, "In the clouds and fog, with little ability, how can I do it?" Thinking about it, if the Buddha Dharma were really that profound and a simple thought could relieve worries, I would probably be able to live in bliss in this mortal world without having to worry about anything."
Zen Master Fukong nodded in approval, "It is not easy to think of this. After all, worldly affairs and Buddhist affairs are clearly distinct, but it is difficult to distinguish them too carefully. In this case, why not grasp the fundamentals and compare them with Looking for various ways to solve problems, it is better to be more direct. There is a big knife in the chess move to cut out the heart and go straight to Huanglong. The fundamental thing is that there is no way to compare the internal and external relatives with that person. It is good not to ask for a temple, and more It is one of the largest temples in the world that has evolved from Buddhism, and it is not impossible to remove one or two words. The temple retains the seven wonders of Buddhism. To be fair, it is actually a top choice. Since you never seek The temple was ordered to come here. Compared to the Zhongtai ancient temple where I had only stayed for a year and a half, it was of course closer to me without asking for the temple. However, now that I didn’t ask for the way the abbot and abbot of the temple handled things, you thought it was very inappropriate. You both belong to the same family. In Buddhism, there is no way to come to ask for truth, so the people who are close to you are not seeking the temple, but the truth you feel falls into the Zhongtai Temple."
"Whether justice is greater or private thoughts are greater, this matter has puzzled many capable people throughout the ages, but logically speaking, it should not confuse Buddhists."
The old monk chuckled, rummaged through an item from his bag, shook it slightly in front of Juenian's eyes, then put it back into the bag, raised a finger to his mouth and said, "This solution is Although it’s acceptable, it won’t work if you say it.”
For Zen Master Fu Kong, it makes no difference where the Seven Wonders of Buddhism are placed. At most, it is just that when Zhongtai Temple is dealing with plunder by foreign enemies, he has to exert more strength. Besides, there will probably be no one around the Zhongtai Ancient Temple for a while. For those thieves who have the guts to care about the Buddhist treasure, Wu Shuang brings out a good apprentice. He spells his name without handing out the flowing sword light. Not only does he eliminate the enemies, but he also leaves a sword mark on the Zhongtai ancient temple. With himself as the abbot Sitting there, there is still the dazzling sword light that was passed down by many mouths that day, and I am afraid it will be a long time before I have to worry about anyone who covets it. What's more, based on the abilities of the leader and the two people in front of me, it doesn't take much speculation to know that the power of Buqiu Temple at the moment has never been born, but it is not necessarily inferior to any mountain gate in the world, so Zen Master Fu Kong Instead of worrying about conflicts, I felt that it was a very good thing to have a Buddhist temple in the world.
However, the level of ability is not the most important factor. Two groups of monks came to the door. Even though Zen Master Fu Kong realized that everyone was not low in Buddhism, since he came to worship the mountain and did not hesitate to take action, it was difficult to convince him. It is precisely for this reason that Zen Master Fu Kong, who was never willing to bother others, dragged Wu Shuang over with a letter, since he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go and see this Buqiu Temple. I wonder if the temple is what I want, and if I can safely place the Seven Wonders of Buddhism here for the time being. I also plan to take the opportunity to meet up with you and talk about the hard work and hardships of guarding the mountain over the years.
There is a saying that people face each other less and less. After his junior brother Buhui passed away, Fu Kong felt that this statement made more sense.
Outside the window lattice, the snow is flying across the gap, and the flakes are as big as goose feathers. When you come in through the window lattice, it is cold and desolate, which can make people gentle and kind. It is estimated that only this kind of cold environment all year round can cultivate a strong mind. A pack of wolves feeding on each other can produce a horse that runs like flying.
"The feathers of mayflies make the clothes so beautiful." The old monk looked out the window at Jingxue. He sighed for no reason, but he didn't want anyone to push the door in and brush the flying snow away. He hurriedly sat on his bed and asked, "Chu Chu is a girl's name." ? You old bald donkey hasn’t talked about your youth in many years. I’ve long guessed that a restless and honest flower monk like you doesn’t abide by the precepts and often violates the precepts. Hurry up and tell us. After all, you are not an outsider. , don’t be shy.”
Therefore, it was easy for some old monks who were sensitive to the heavy snow to keep silent. However, Wu Shuang never knew how to give up when he was ready. He pretended to look at the old monk's face, took two steps back in disgust and said, "That's fine. Anyway, based on the age and appearance of an old monk like you now, I guess the girl back then was also very old. It’s a pity that the great years were wasted, and she was born with a clay statue and a golden body for only a few decades. It’s not enough. .”
