The reason why he came here holding two huge flower trees was of course to express his unspeakable respect to the Buddha. However, in his subconscious, he was also expressing himself!
The Buddha's Dharma eyes are as clear as a torch, and he has already understood every fluctuation in his heart.
The Buddha called him affectionately and said, "Let it go."
Hei put down the acacia tree on his left hand.
"Let it go," Buddha said again.
Hei put down the sycamore tree in his right hand again.
"Let it go." Buddha still said.
Hei was puzzled and said: "World Honored One, my hands are empty, what else should I put down?"
The Buddha smiled slightly: "I'm not asking you to put down the flowers and trees in your hands. What you should let go of is the attachment in your heart. That is to say, let go of the six outer objects, the six inner senses, and the six middle consciousnesses."
The Black Brahmin said: "I understand that the six sense organs confront the six objects, resulting in the six consciousnesses. If a person abandons these, he will have nothing and nothing to abandon."
The Buddha said: "When you reach this state, you will transcend life and death!"
Like a thunderbolt exploding in the depths of the soul, like a ray of lightning bursting out from the soul, the Black Brahmin suddenly realized!
…
Although Huiming vaguely felt something, his mind was on Zhang Shaofei and could not understand the mystery. Therefore, he said stubbornly: "Master Zhang, I don't want to talk about Zen with you, I only want the coat on your body." .”
With that said, he took a quick step and stood in front of Zhang Shaofei.
Zhang Shaofei smiled faintly, took off his luggage, took out the cassock passed to him by the old monk, opened it, and placed it on a "big stone" by the roadside.
Wilmington felt a red cloud pass before his eyes, filled with thousands of golden lights.
Before Huiming could think about it, Zhang Shaofei said to Huiming: "Take it."
Huiming never expected that Zhang Shaofei would actually take out a cassock.
He looked at Zhang Shaofei doubtfully.
Huiming saw nothing unusual, so he stepped forward, bent down, and held a corner of the cassock in his left hand, trying to pick it up.
Strangely, the cassock seemed to be deeply rooted in the stone, and Huiming could not pull it up with all his strength. He was unconvinced: "I am a dignified fourth-grade general with extraordinary strength. How can I not move my clothes?"
So, he stretched his right leg to the side, swung his horse stance, used his Qigong in his hands, and tried to pull the cassock again, but it still couldn't be pulled. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't move it at all.
At this moment, Huiming's big copper bell-like eyes were filled with surprise: "What's going on?"
Zhang Shaofei opened his eyes: "Martial Master Huiming, please know that this is not an ordinary thing, but a token of the teachings."
"This..." Zhang Shaofei's words aroused Huiming's respect for Buddha.
After all, Huiming was a pious and upright person, and he knew the cause and effect. After speaking, he knelt down and said, "I hope Master Zhang, no, Master, you can explain the truth to me."
Zhang Shaofei nodded happily and sat down on the big rock. He patted the place next to him and motioned for him to sit down and rest too.
Huiming respected Zhang Shaofei wholeheartedly at this time, so how could he be willing to sit side by side with him?
He sat on the floor under Zhang Shaofei's knees, and respectfully saluted Zhang Shaofei with his hands together.
Zhang Shaofei stretched out his right hand, stroked his head kindly, and said kindly: "Since you respect Buddhism, I will teach you the essentials of Zen Buddhism."
A warm current slowly spread from the top of Huiming's head throughout his body, like bathing in the spring breeze, drinking nectar, being enlightened, and moistening the heart with fine wine... Huiming was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Seeing Huiming being so excited, Zhang Shaofei waved his hand and said, "Don't be too excited yet. I can't explain it to you now."
Huiming: "I am sincere, why do you say you can't explain it to me?"
Zhang Shaofei raised his voice: "You are ready to fight each other at every turn. The sin of killing is too heavy and the six roots are not purified. Since we respect Buddhism, we should get rid of all kinds of conditioned shadows in the mind, not have the slightest distracting thoughts, and make the four elements empty, then I will I can explain it to you."
Huiming was silent for a long time without answering.
Zhang Shaofei patted him gently, "Close your eyes first, calm down your mind, cut off the outer world, and clear all the thoughts in your heart, and then I will tell you."
Huiming closed his eyes as Zhang Shaofei said and slowly calmed down.
After a while, Zhang Shaofei saw that Huiming's face returned to normal, and his breathing became thin and light, as if there was nothing there, so he whispered in his ear: "Don't think about the good things, and don't think about the evil things." Think about it, at this moment, which one is your true face?"
Not thinking about good or evil means being free from all delusional thoughts of distinction and opposition. The mind should be unwavering and clear without even a single thought. What kind of state is this?
It's like a pool in the deep mountains and old forests. When the wind stops completely, there are no ripples on the water. Because the water in the pool is still, all the impurities in the water settle down. At this time, you will see that every detail of the objects in the pool is clearly visible; at the same time, all the scenes outside the pool are accurately reflected on the water.
At this moment, Huiming's heart was in this state.
Under Zhang Shaofei's prompting, he suddenly looked back, reflected back on his thoughts, and suddenly realized something. It's like a heavy burden has suddenly been lifted off, like a thousand-year imprisonment has been broken free unintentionally...
Huiming, who was enlightened at the moment of stone fire and lightning, was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He just hugged Zhang Shaofei's leg with tears and kept shaking like a child.
After a while, when he noticed his very childish behavior, he smiled sheepishly.
Huiming thought for a while and asked Zhang Shaofei: "Master, besides these, is there any more secret Buddhist teaching?"
Zhang Shaofei said: "What I can tell you is no longer a secret. If there are any secrets, they are all in your own heart. In your own heart, you are no less than me or Buddha."
After hearing these words, Huiming felt like a poor beggar who had been looking for wealth outside all day but failed to find it. Now he suddenly found an inexhaustible treasure in his home.
He couldn't help but feel happy and annoyed at the same time. I am happy that I will no longer be poor; I am upset that I have spent all my life searching for it, but it turns out that the treasure is within myself.
After Huiming heard this, the clouds in his mind were swept away, and he suddenly became enlightened: "Huiming, although I have studied a lot of Buddhism, it seems that I have not actually understood the true meaning of Buddhism and have not recognized my true face. . Now I have been enlightened, Zen is like drinking water. Only you know whether it is cold or warm. Please be magnanimous and forgive me for the offense I just made. Now, you are my master, Huiming. Please accept my disciple's bow. " Hui Ming. Ming knelt down solemnly to thank his master. "
Although this Huiming is a reckless man, he understands the truth and can turn around quickly.
Zhang Shaofei waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't accept you as my disciple."
Huiming asked in confusion: "Why? Do you dislike me, or are you still worried about what happened just now?"
"No! Although you and I were both members of the imperial court in the past, we both contributed to the imperial court. It is more appropriate for us to call ourselves brothers. No need to be polite, please get up." Zhang Shaofei stretched out his hand to help Huiming up, "You are older than me. Chief. Then, you should be the senior brother and I should be the junior brother."
"No, your moral conduct is higher than mine, so you should be my senior brother and I should be your junior brother." Huiming said firmly.
"this……"
Just as the two were making concessions, Huiming heard the sound of killing in the distance and knew that it might be the second group of pursuers sent by Guan Zhenjiang. No longer hesitating, he said: "Okay, then I will be a senior brother. Junior Brother Zhang Shaofei, we must take good care of the memory in the future and not let it be cut off in the hands of our generation."
"Senior brother is right." Huiming patted the dust on his hands and asked, "I feel that there are many murderous intentions in the court. I don't plan to go back. I just want to follow my junior brother."
Zhang Shaofei waved his hands repeatedly: "Now the opportunity has not come, you should leave quickly."
Huiming was confused: "Master, I don't know where to go?"
Zhang Shaofei thought for a while and said, "When you come to a place with the word '新', you stop, and when you encounter a place with the word '天', you stay."
Sure enough, Huiming was born in Xinzhou Tianlu Mountain to preach the Dharma, abbot the Taoist temple, and promoted Zen Buddhism. He had a great influence and became the master of one side. Later, he followed Zhang Shaofei to fight against foreign enemies and became the pioneer of the powerful side.
After Huiming got Zhang Shaofei's heart seal, he was naturally filled with joy.
At this time, there was a noise from the bottom of the mountain, and it was getting closer and closer. It seemed that the second group of pursuers sent by Guan Zhenjiang were about to catch up.
Huiming hurriedly said to Zhang Shaofei: "Junior brother, please leave and go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will come after you! I will deal with them after you leave."
"Okay." Zhang Shaofei immediately picked up his cassock, packed it back into his bag, and saluted Huiming, "Please take care of yourself, Master Guang."
"Junior brother, no, no, I should say yes, I hope master will take good care of you." Huiming also gave him a courtesy.
Zhang Shaofei nodded and drifted away in the breeze.
I saw him, like Huizu wandering in the clouds, disappearing into the mountains shrouded in white clouds.
In the misty clouds, there seemed to be Sanskrit sounds sounding, floating in the wind...
Suddenly, a great spectacle appeared in front of Huiming: in the misty cloud sky, a lifelike "Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha" sat in the sky shrouded by white clouds, showing a colorful halo, reflecting the entire Buddha's shadow. In the sky, it looks like a colorful halo above the head of the Buddha statue.
In an instant, Huiming was shocked by this discovery.
Could it be that the Buddha had insight into Zhang Shaofei's difficulties and asked the Buddha's light to appear and divine secrets to show him? Could it be that the Buddha is still living in the present, protecting the wise ancestor Zhang Shaofei, the long mountains and rivers, and the gloomy sentient beings?
…
When Huiming returned from the long history and the profound meditation of Buddhism to the "Sakyamuni Buddha Statue" in the sky in front of him, he realized even more the profoundness of Buddhism and Zhang Shaofei's wisdom and charity.
Just as Huiming was immersed in the fact that he was lucky enough to see the miraculous sight of Buddha Sakyamuni, Guan Zhaoyun and others had already hurried over to catch up.
Guan Zhaoyun asked Huiming eagerly: "Master Hui, have you caught up with Zhang Shaofei?"
Huiming pretended to be confused and said: "I went up to the mountain pass first and waited there for a long time, but I didn't see his shadow at all. I also asked people, and they said they had never met anyone who looked like Zhang Shaofei. Maybe. , or you are right, he has never been here."
"I told you a long time ago, isn't he afraid of death?" Guan Zhaoyun looked at Shi Deren with a bit of complaint.
"Then why are we lingering here? Let's go back and chase!" Huiming seemed to have remembered something again and said: "Oh, by the way, everyone, from today on, I will change my dharma name to Daoming. Please let all my brothers know. "
Guan Zhaoyun was stunned: "Why...oh, you don't want to have the same sound as that Huiming, good, very good!"
Dao Ming curled his lips, said nothing, and turned to another road alone.
