I saw the young master named Wei Ziyu leaning out of the window, "Master Cijing's words are just taken out of context, how absurd it is!"
Yang Qingyuan originally wanted to take action, but when he saw the young master speaking, he gave up the plan for the time being. Why not if you can watch the show and enjoy the show? ! This is human nature!
When Cijing saw Wei Ziyu who suddenly refuted him, she was not angry and asked with a smile, "This young master also understands the meaning of my Buddhist scriptures! If you are interested, please give me some advice."
Wei Ziyu was not polite and said directly, "Buddhism believes that everyone has Buddha nature, and those who do evil can become a Buddha by abandoning evil and doing good. Therefore, 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot' became a great Buddhist advice to those who do evil. Classic phrase for people to stop doing evil.
However, the Buddhist saying of "putting down the butcher's knife" does not refer to the actual butcher's knife that kills people. The 'butcher's knife' here refers to malice, evil words, evil deeds, and all delusions, delusions, confusion, confusion, discrimination, and attachment. This is definitely not what the master said. "
Everyone present listened to Wei Ziyu's interpretation, and no one interrupted him.
"In my human mind, delusional thoughts continue for a moment. As the saying goes: the mind is like a monkey and the mind is like a horse. That's what it means. Therefore, if you use your own nature to illuminate your own mind and intuitively understand your own thoughts, this is the fundamental way to cut down the roots of the tree. So-called Putting down the butcher's knife means letting go of all the delusions and distracting thoughts in the mind, and observing one's own thoughts directly. Don't cling to, get rid of, or follow the thoughts of illusion and disillusionment. You can only observe quietly and let the delusion be eliminated by yourself. When the mind shines upon it, the moment will be peaceful and motionless, and it will become natural and invisible.
"The Mahayana Heart and Earth Observation Sutra" says: "Those who can observe the mind will be liberated in the end, and those who cannot observe will be entangled forever.
This is originally the Buddhist philosophy of spiritual cultivation, but today I received such a superficial interpretation from the master. Isn’t it ridiculous? ! "
Even Yang Qingyuan nodded frequently at Wei Ziyu's interpretation of Buddhist scriptures.
Even though Yang Qingyuan is a Taoist, hundreds of schools of thought have dabbled in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. What Wei Ziyu just said has gained the essence of Buddhism’s method of observing the mind. If placed in Buddhism, it can be regarded as a generation. Eminent monk, this Lingnan Wei family really has a family origin.
"Amitabha, the donor is indeed familiar with the meaning of my Buddhist scriptures, but it is still superficial. It is said in the "Xian Kalpa Sutra" that one of the eighty-four thousand Buddhist teachings can become a Buddha. There are eighty thousand Buddhist teachings, and there are different interpretations. , this gentleman’s single interpretation misses the essence of Buddhism. However, it is extremely difficult for you to have such an understanding at your age."
Seeing that Wei Ziyu's words were reasonable, Cijing resorted to sophistry.
"Master Cijing, Wang Daguang has committed major crimes in Xuzhou continuously and is a key criminal of the imperial court. Do you want to protect this thief?!"
Dian Cang Zhang Boyun saw that he was about to catch someone, but the old monk showed up like this.
Wang Daguang is not just a prisoner! This is still a walking 10,000 taels of silver, and it is also the headline on the front page of Liumenjianghudi newspaper later this month.
The most important thing is that this is the person Zhang Boyun wants to kill in a heroic manner, and this is the merit Xuan Cheng wants to accumulate.
With Wang Daguang's weight, let alone Cijing, even if the abbot of Dajue Temple came, Zhang Boyun wanted to give it a try.
Isn’t it just the cave profound realm? ! No one is the same!
Cijing was not annoyed at all when she heard this, and still smiled, "A monk must cut off the worldly world. Wang Daguang has died, and there are only monks in the world. All the worldly matters have nothing to do with monks like us."
To become a monk means to stay away from the secular world, cut off all worldly ties, and devote yourself to practice with the goal of liberation. Therefore, people in the world generally believe that the mistakes made before becoming a monk can be wiped out. During the process of practice, one can eliminate one's sins and pray for peace and joy for the world through ordination and monkhood.
And due to traffic and other problems, the actual government control is still small. In the past, the management of temples was very loose. For local officials, one more thing was better than one less thing. If the offender stayed in the temple and did not commit other crimes, he would be too lazy to spend a lot of energy to hunt down the offender.
Moreover, Buddhism was extremely powerful before. In the Southern Dynasties, there were 480 temples, with Sanskrit sounds bursting out and incense like mist. How prosperous it was! Most previous rulers and courts also respected Buddhism and would obviously not offend religious forces for the sake of individual prisoners.
Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which has been under attack for a long time, the influence of Buddhism cannot be underestimated. It is the spiritual pillar of many ordinary people, and the group behind it is extremely powerful. At the same time, it is also responsible for maintaining social order and moral norms to a certain extent. .
In Buddhism, all living beings are equal, good people and bad people are all ordinary, and criminal suspects will not be rejected because of this.
Therefore, tonsure became a way for some young people to avoid legal punishment.
The young man upstairs, Wei Ziyu, couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Oh?! Could it be that Buddhism hides filth and the World Honored One doesn't care?!"
"Amitabha, my merciful Buddha, can save all evil spirits and Shura! Even a mere thief can be influenced by Buddhism. If all the evil people in the world can be good, wouldn't it be much better than punishing a single evildoer!"
Yang Qingyuan shook his head, it seems that he is going to take action today!
Buddhism cannot be higher than the law.
Zhang Boyun's right hand has already been pressed on the hilt of the sword, "What if, this junior must take this prisoner away today?!"
"Amitabha, with the support of donor Zhang and nephew Xuancheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this person away today!"
"Keng!"
The sword on Zhang Boyun's waist was unsheathed before Cijing could finish her words!
Cijing's martial arts is far superior to that of him and Xuan Cheng. If she wants to take advantage of him, she must strike first.
The Liuyun sword technique has no craftsmanship. This sword technique was originally derived from the changes in the flowing clouds on the Nineteen Peaks of Dian Cang, hence the name "Liu Yun". It has long been famous for its lightness and speed in the world.
Later, the masters of the Dian Cang Sect cut out the complexity and simplified it into nine swords. Although it was not as powerful as the original Liuyun Nineteen Swords, it was still a top-notch swordsmanship at that time.
And Xuan Cheng also took action at the same time, using the Shaolin Prajna Palm to scatter two in one shot!
The palm force of this palm changes in reality. If the opponent attacks directly, he will be hit.
Although the two came from different sects, they had a perfect understanding of each other when they attacked at the same time.
Seeing this, Cijing sighed inwardly. He really didn't want to be enemies with Dian Cang and Shaolin at the same time.
But Jingxiu is Wang Daguang. This person has an unusual physique and is just suitable for Dajue Temple's unique skill, the Ten-turn Chakra Palm.
Moreover, he had already accepted him as his disciple and ordained him. If he handed him over so easily, where was his reputation? !
When Ci Jing faced Xuan Cheng's Prajna Palm attack, she did not dodge or dodge, nor was she caught in the trap of Xuan Cheng's palm power. She directly attacked with one palm, as if she had just meditated. It was a variant of the Buddhist Vajra Demon Subduing Kung Fu. .
Zhang Boyun's sword arrived first, and Cijing used her left hand to grab it with her fingers, using the Buddhist magical skill - the Nirvana Claw.
Just one claw knocked Zhang Boyun's sword away.
Almost immediately, Cijing's palm power also met Xuan Cheng's Prajna Palm.
Xuancheng's Prajna Palm, which changes in reality and reality, is of little significance in front of Cijing's palm power. The vast and surging Vajra Palm power, like a giant wave, directly overwhelms Xuan Cheng's palm power.
Xuancheng flew backwards, and just when he was about to hit the doorpost, he suddenly felt a soft force holding him up. Although Xuancheng was naive, he was not stupid. When he thought about it, he knew that Yang Qingyuan had done it secretly.
Xuan Cheng is even more excited now. Although the Shaolin elders are not here, the Wudang elders are! !
…
Although these words felt strange, they did not affect Xuan Cheng's confidence.
With the help of his strength, he turned around and performed the Nine Diagrams and Six Sitting Figures, just like sitting in meditation, where he stabilized his body shape.
Xuan Cheng kicked off his right foot and rushed towards Cijing again. He had an indestructible body, and his ability to withstand attacks was among the best in the world. Now that he had someone backing him up, he was even more reckless.
With the eighteen-hand Arhat God beating, Xuan Cheng looked solemn, as if he had transformed into an Arhat.
When Cijing saw this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was indeed a rare genius from Shaolin who could only be seen in a century. He was capable of thirteen unique skills. He actually integrated the essence of Arhat Boxing into the Eighteen Hands of Arhat Fighting, and combined it with the nine diagrams. The power of the Six Sitting Statue Body Technique has almost doubled.
Faced with such an offensive, Cijing had to take two steps back to avoid Xuan Cheng's attack.
And when he retreated, Zhang Boyun on the side found an opportunity. He flipped over in the air, and the sword moves in his left hand continued to change continuously between jumps. It was unpredictable, and the fast sword in his right hand was extremely fast with its sharp sword energy. And come!
This move is completely different from the Liuyun sword technique just now.
Xuanyang is in the sky, and the world is vast.
The mind is free from distractions, and the sword is released without any stagnation.
This sword seemed to cut open the air in front of Cijing, leaving him alone to split the sky and the earth with his narrow sword!
Even Yang Qingyuan, who was cooking, was moved by this sword.
"Dian Cang's unique skill, Xuan Cang Heavenly Sword Technique!"
When Xuan Cang Tian Sword Technique was released, he combined the exquisite swordsmanship he had learned throughout his life with his whole body's internal strength cultivation into one sword! When facing the enemy, all his strength is achieved with one sword, which is as powerful as thunder and can be invincible.
It is indeed one of the eight sects that have been passed down for a long time. The swordsmanship at the bottom of the box is truly extraordinary and has its own mysteries.
Daotong, who had been idle for a long time, was running again at this moment. This sword was a bit interesting.
Even Yang Qingyuan on the side felt the power of this sword, and the pressure on Cijing, who was facing the Xuan Cang Tian Sword Jue, doubled.
Cijing's true energy surged, and she hit Monk Xuancheng in front of him with a palm strike.
Then with a backhand palm, he attacked Zhang Boyun's Xuan Cang Tian Sword Technique.
Xuan Cang Tian Sword Technique is as sharp and powerful as thunder. It is completely different from Dian Cang's previous sword technique, and its power is even three times as powerful as the original one.
But the skills don’t stop there!
In the realm of Dongxuan, you can use the power of heaven and earth to strengthen the power of martial arts moves. How can human power rival heaven and earth?
A powerful collision of true energy erupted, knocking Zhang Boyun away directly. The tip of the long sword in his hand was inserted into the ground. Where the sword and stone met, sparks flew everywhere. He slid for more than ten steps before stopping his retreat.
"It seems that the two of you can't be taken away for meditation today!"
As she spoke, Cijing raised her eyes and looked at Wei Ziyu, "The old layman next to Almsgiver Wei was also a rare master at that time. Do you want to have a try with the poor monk?!"
The skinny old man seemed to say something next to Wei Ziyu, but Wei Ziyu had no reaction to Cijing's words.
"Amitabha, since all the donors have no objections, the poor monk took Jingxiu away. From now on, the poor monk will definitely discipline Jingxiu well, urge him to correct his evil ways, and pray for the world."
With that said, Cijing was about to turn around and take Cijing away, but just as he turned around, he felt a breeze blowing by.
The retreat has disappeared from its place.
"Bang!" The sound of a body falling to the ground.
"I'll leave this to you!" A young scholar clapped his hands, and Jing Xiu was already tied up with a belt around his waist.
Cijing's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
What kind of light skills and body skills this is, he just felt a breeze blowing by, and Jingxiu was brought to Zhang Boyun and Xuan Cheng.
"The layman loves Qinggong. This kind of body skill is really the only one I have seen in my life."
This was no lie. Cijing had never even heard of such a speed. It was like "shrinking the ground into an inch" in Taoist classics, let alone insight.
"Master Cijing, is there anything in the world that is not the king's land? I have a question, and I would like to ask Master to clarify it."
"Amitabha, please tell me, almsgiver. If a poor monk can answer the question, he will surely tell you everything he knows." Although Cijing looked calm on the face, she was extremely wary in her heart.
The person in front of her was obviously not a good person. With such light skills, Ci Jing felt that she might not be this person's opponent.
"Is the Buddha's Dharma greater than the King's Dharma?!"
A simple question silenced Cijing.
When Cijing faced Xuan Cheng and Zhang Boyun, even if they were unreasonable, he could refute them with sophistry. The Buddhist tongue shines like a lotus flower, which is one of the great avenues of Buddhism.
Because his fists are bigger than those of Xuancheng and Zhang Boyun, his principles are principles, and his sophistry also makes sense.
His principles are principles.
But the young man asking the question in front of her was different. His fist was bigger than hers, so Cijing couldn't use the trick just now.
"Amitabha, my benefactor, I have already left the world behind me and become a monk. Why bother to pursue the past events?!"
Cijing now particularly wants to reason with Yang Qingyuan, and of course Yang Qingyuan is also willing.
"Since he is a monk, I wonder if this master of meditation has any ultimatum?!"
tonsure is just a ceremony, anyone can perform this ceremony, but for the government, whether to become a monk or not actually depends on whether there is an ultimatum.
The degree certificate is a document issued by the state to those who have been ordained as monks and nuns in accordance with the law. For monks and nuns to become monks, the government issues a certificate, called a "document", which is made of silk and brocade, and contains the monk's and nun's birthplace, common name, age, monastery to which they belong, the name of their master, and the joint signatures of those with official connections.
This is a system that Yang Qingyuan improved from the system of the former Tang Dynasty.
The ultimatum can only be obtained in two ways.
The first is to pass the Dazhou Buddhist Vocational Qualification Examination. In order to control the number of monks and prevent people from becoming monks privately, we followed the method of selecting scholars through the imperial examination, and issued certificates to identify monks by examining their mastery of Buddhist classics.
From now on, monks and nuns must read scriptures and three hundred pieces of paper, take official examinations, and be proficient in their profession before being allowed to issue ultimatums.
2. Gifts from the imperial court. During major celebrations such as the emperor's enthronement and birthday, in order to show the emperor's great kindness, the emperor and the court would also give some ultimatums to some large legal temples. But this part of the ultimatum is rare and even more precious.
Those who are ordained without an ordination are all becoming monks privately.
Dazhou Code, Fifth Amendment, Article 113: Those who privately ordain as monks will be inspected and reported to the court. The offender will be fined five taels of silver and one year of corvee service, and the nun will be fined five taels of silver, that is, Definitely return to secular life.
Cijing: "..."
