Although the Buddhist teachings of Hui Neng and others are not as good as those of the great Zen masters in the previous life, they are not bad at all. They use Buddhist teachings to solve the confusions in the minds of good men and women. However, Xu Feng listened for a while and also heard it. Although the Zen Buddhism in this world is
Zen Buddhism, but the Buddhist scriptures he knew were very limited, not as rich and colorful as the Buddhist scriptures in his previous life. Only then did Xu Feng understand why Zen Buddhism in this world seemed so declining. What this world has is only a small part of the Zen Buddhism in his previous life.
.
Discovering this, Xu Feng felt that if he were in this world, he could really be a high-ranking monk. If it weren't for the fact that becoming a monk was too challenging for him, and Xu Feng felt that it was necessary to enter Zen Buddhism to fool people, how could he be fooled?
Treat him as a key protected genius.
Just when Xu Feng was thinking about what benefits he could get by joining the Zen sect, Hui Neng and others were finally troubled by a man. The man's confusion was very simple, that is, he liked a woman who was his childhood sweetheart, and this woman had a relationship with him.
Intimate. But in the end, she fell in love with another man and refused to look back despite his begging.
Huineng used various Buddhist methods to help him solve his doubts. Others might be able to alleviate the confusion in their hearts. But this man got into trouble and allowed Huineng to say whatever he wanted. He was always immersed in the thought that women no longer wanted him and ran away with others.
Xu Feng looked at this man and gave him a sympathetic look. He thought to himself that it was another story about a third party interfering, and it was done so simply. Brother, if I were you, I would kill that man first, and then
Let the man make a fool of himself and act magnanimously and outstandingly. Then find an extremely beautiful woman, and I guarantee that the woman will regret it deeply in her heart.
Of course, Xu Feng would not say this at this moment. Otherwise, he would really be kicked out.
Xu Feng looked at this man with a kind smile on his face, a look of great compassion. Xiao Yilin saw that Xu Feng was pretending to be presentable and couldn't help turning her head away from Xu Feng.
Seeing that Huineng couldn't help him solve the problem, the man could only walk up to Xu Feng and said to Xu Feng: "Master! Please give me some advice!"
When Xu Feng heard the man call him master, he felt his bones were lightened by two ounces. He thought that this guy was really good, should he teach him a few tricks and then get involved. However, when Xu Feng saw Xiao Yilin, Huineng and others,
When everyone's eyes were fixed on him, Xu Feng gave up the idea, thinking that even if he really said that, Xiao Yilin still didn't know how to get angry.
"Let me tell you a story!" Xu Feng looked at the man and regained his sanctimonious appearance.
The man was confused and didn't understand that Xu Feng was telling him a story so suddenly. Wasn't he going to use Buddhist teachings to help him solve his doubts?
Xu Feng ignored everyone's surprise and said to himself: "At the beach, a young woman drowned while playing in the water. The body was washed up on the beach and exposed to the sun. At this time, three people came from a distance. The first
One, took one look at it, then walked around the female corpse, turned around and left. He was afraid that if he got too close to the female corpse, he would be suffocated by the stench."
Having said this, he glanced at the man and continued: "At this time, the second man came over and looked at the female corpse that was exposed to the sun. He was kind-hearted and covered the female corpse with the mat he brought with him, then turned and left.
The third one, looking at the stinking female corpse, didn't dislike it at all. He dug a big hole, then hugged the female corpse tightly and buried it himself. Three kinds of people, three kinds of behavior. Good causes have good deeds.
Guo! Can’t the donor still not see through it?”
The man looked at Xu Feng with confusion and a bit of understanding on his face.
Xu Feng smiled at him and said: "The first man is most people in the world. So these men just passed by her. The second man is you. Because of the relationship, she has a relationship with you.
I will repay you after a period of love. But in the end, he will still end up with the third man. Donor, are you enlightened?"
When the man heard Xu Feng's words, his sad and confused face finally relaxed a little. The man sat blankly in front of Xu Feng for a long time, and finally stood up and bowed to Xu Feng and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice.
"
Xu Feng smiled, still looking like an enlightened monk, shook his head and said: "Donor, please go back, cause and effect are destined by God. No fate means no fate, you can't force it."
Seeing that the other party really left, Xu Feng smiled in his heart and said, "This is too deceptive. Originally, Xu Feng couldn't handle him because of this story, so he came up with various theories about poaching others in his past life.
"Amitabha! The donor is a great talent!" Huineng performed a Buddhist salute to Xu Feng.
"Master, the prize has been awarded! But the competition has just begun. So, everyone, if anyone has any confusion, I am willing to help you clear it up." Xu Feng said with a smile.
Because of the man, someone finally started looking for Xu Feng.
"Master! I have always wished that I could become a medical magician and be able to heal people all over the world. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't become a medical magician. Didn't the Buddha say that persistence is the most important thing? But I persisted for more than ten years.
Why is there no effect at all?" A man said to Xu Feng.
When Xu Feng heard this, he glanced at Hui Neng, thinking that these monks were killing people. This is not how deceivers work. Can one person become a warlock?
Xu Feng grabbed a brick from beside him and started grinding it on the ground without saying anything. This scene made everyone look at him.
"Master, what are you doing?" the man asked equally puzzled.
“Ground a brick into a mirror!”
"Ah! But this is a stone!"
"Persistence will turn a brick into a mirror!"
"Master! A stone is still a stone, no matter how hard it is polished, it becomes a mirror..." The man stopped mid-sentence and looked at Xu Feng blankly.
At this time, Xu Feng dropped the stone in his hand and smiled at the man: "Donor, you have realized it!"
The man remained silent for a long time, then looked up to Xu Feng and said, "Then what does Master think I should do?"
Xu Feng said to the man: "A man is driving an ox cart, and the ox cart doesn't move. Do you think we should whip the cart or the cow?"
The man suddenly realized that he had been doing the stupid thing of whipping the car. He stood up, bowed respectfully to Xu Feng, and then withdrew.
Seeing that Xu Feng solved the confusion between the two of them so interestingly, everyone was surprised and started thinking about Xu Feng.
Xu Feng had read countless Zen stories in his previous life. When these people asked for advice, Xu Feng was able to answer them with corresponding stories. Although the simple and easy-to-understand stories did not mention Buddhism, each of them contained Zen meanings.
.
As Xu Feng explained the stories one by one, each of the faithful men and women relaxed their brows, bowed to Xu Feng and then left.
In the end, even Huineng and others stopped to preach Buddhism to everyone, stopped to listen to Xu Feng's stories that contained various Zen meanings, and watched Xu Feng solve a person's doubts. In the end, the situation between the two parties was completely reversed.
, no one came to look for Huineng to solve their doubts, and everyone would rather wait and listen to Xu Feng's words.
Hui Neng and others also became more and more obsessed with it as they listened. The monk who had ridiculed Xu Feng at the beginning also looked at Xu Feng with his mouth wide open. He could not understand how this young man could do this and tell the Buddhist teachings in such a concise and easy-to-understand story.
Just two of them. But he picked it up as a novice. How far does one have to reach in Buddhism to be so proficient?
The monk looked at Xu Feng blankly. He no longer had the irritability he had just before. He sat down and respectfully watched Xu Feng explain various Buddhist dharma.
In the end, Xu Feng also discovered this scene and found that all the monks were listening to him. This made Xu Feng couldn't help cursing. He thought that if you don't share some of the burden for me, if you continue talking like this, you will not only have a dry mouth.
, but there was fire and bubbles in the mouth.
However, seeing that they were not moved at all, Xu Feng could only continue to deceive one person after another.
Xiao Yilin stared at Xu Feng on the stage. She stared blankly at Xu Feng. She couldn't understand why Xu Feng had such a deep understanding of Buddhism. Thinking of her mother's piety towards Buddha, Xiao Yilin couldn't help but be happy.
She got up. Was it the person her mother had chosen for her?
Xu Feng forgot how long he had been talking. It was not until the last believer was deceived by Xu Feng that Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Hui Neng looked at the young man in front of him and was horrified in his heart. He could not imagine that this young man had reached such a comprehensive understanding of Buddhism. He walked up to Xu Feng and said respectfully to Xu Feng: "Master, great talent! If Master is willing, I will."
Give up the position of abbot to the master!"
"What?" Xu Feng almost didn't jump up. Damn, you are willing to give it, but I don't want it. Who the hell wants to be a monk?
However, looking at Huineng's fiery expression, Xu Feng wondered if he would tie him up if he didn't agree. In desperation, Xu Feng could only say: "Master, what do you think is necessary for practice?"
"Practice is in the heart! Having Buddha in your heart is cultivation!" Huineng said.
"Master is right, but not right!" Xu Feng said with a smile.
"Please give me some answers!" Huineng said.
"In my opinion! 'Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy.' Even if you practice. The master is right, practice is in the heart, but there is no Buddha in my heart." Xu Feng said with a smile.
Eating when you are hungry and sleeping when you are sleepy is considered practice? Everyone looked at Xu Feng strangely, especially Xu Feng's last sentence, "I have no Buddha in my heart," which made everyone dumbfounded. Since you have no Buddha in your heart, why do you have so much interest in Buddhism?
Such a deep understanding?
But unlike everyone else, Hui Neng and others were stunned, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm waiting for the photo!"
"If you refuse to eat when you are eating, you will be worried about everything; if you are not willing to sleep when you are sleeping, you will be worried about everything. Even if you are in front of the Buddha, it will be useless. But there is no Buddha in my heart, and that is practice."
Huineng understood the meaning of Xu Feng's words. When people eat, they don't eat well, but they have to think about everything; when it's time to sleep, they don't sleep peacefully, and they have to worry about everything. So even if the Buddha is around, it can't be considered practice. But Xu Feng
The practice is different. He does not care about the Buddha or care about the Buddha. The practice is completely spontaneous and there is no need to pay special attention at all. This is the practice!
"Master's Dharma is superb!" Huineng said.
This sentence made everyone look at Xu Feng strangely. Does this sentence mean that the whole temple is willing to admit defeat to Xu Feng? Did Xu Feng really win a great victory against a group of Zen masters alone?!
