Chapter three hundred and sixty-three monks on Zen
The old monk smiled and said "Come from where you came from", which was like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake, causing the expressions of the monks in Hanshan Temple to change at the same time.
Recently, eminent monks from all over the world have gathered at Hanshan Temple. The process of entering the temple is nothing more than reporting to the doorstep, what is the name of the Dharma, and which temple they practice in. A qualified eminent monk will naturally receive a higher standard of reception from a monk, even an unknown monk will receive it.
Proper placement.
However, this master named Zhixin told the monk of Hanshan Temple clearly in his first sentence - I am here to cause trouble!
To take something without telling you is to be a thief. To come to the door to discuss Zen without any prior notice is obviously an act of destroying the place and kicking the gym.
The young monk at Hanshan Temple was inexperienced after all. Faced with such a situation, he didn't know how to proceed.
"What does "come from this place" mean?" Princess Shouning's pretty face was full of confusion, feeling that the monk's words were really profound and difficult to understand.
"I don't know..." Li Yi shook his head. In order to avoid old monk Tan Yin causing trouble again, he simply stopped talking.
What's more, everyone's understanding of Buddhism is different. Maybe the old monk named Zhixin just thought it was useful to say this sentence so that others wouldn't understand.
Li Yi guessed wrong this time. Master Tanyin didn't have any free time to dismantle the situation, because the structure of Hanshan Temple was about to be dismantled.
The old monk Zhixin still had a smile on his face and said: "I have heard that Master Tanyin of Hanshan Temple has profound Buddhist teachings and is an eminent Buddhist monk. We have come all the way here just to discuss Buddhism with the master and solve the confusion in our hearts."
Monk Tanyin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master has come from afar, and I at Hanshan Temple will naturally welcome you. However, this is not a place for Zen discussion, so please move on."
It was the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, and there were many eminent monks from various places in the temple. It was common for them to discuss Zen and Buddhism with each other, but it was never so direct and crude. Most of the nobles in Kyoto gathered here.
Sorry, the reputation of Hanshan Temple has been greatly damaged.
"My Buddha is everywhere, so how can Zen be divided into regions?" said the old monk from outside, shaking his head.
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar among the monks in Hanshan Temple.
This is really not giving me any face at all.
There were already a lot of people walking around in the temple, and Master Tanyin had the effect of attracting fans. Within a short period of time, many people gathered around.
"What's going on? Who is Master Tanyin talking to?"
"Is there a Buddhist master across from you?"
"I don't know where it came from, but he just said he wanted to discuss Zen with Master Tanyin."
"An eminent monk talks about Zen? This is something you can't miss..."——
It was a rare occasion for an eminent monk to discuss Zen, and everyone acted like they were watching the excitement. Li Yi was also a little curious about how Hanshan Temple would deal with this old monk who was causing trouble.
Another middle-aged monk had already stepped forward and asked, "What kind of discussion do you want?"
Master Tanyin is the signature of Hanshan Temple and cannot make any mistakes. If any monk can directly discuss Zen with him, he may only be able to do this one thing in his life.
"If you want to talk about Zen, you must first sit in meditation. Master Tanyin is a great monk, and his meditation skills are definitely good. The young monk is bold and wants to compete with Master Tanyin in sitting meditation." Holding an iron rod, the middle-aged man has never spoken.
The monk suddenly said.
"What is zazen?" It was Princess Shouning's habit to ask if she didn't understand.
"It's about being in a daze longer than anyone else." Li Yi gave a popular explanation.
In Journey to the West, the Tang Monk from Che Chi Kingdom fights three demons. One of the scenes involves sitting in meditation in the sky. This is a classic plot in Journey to the West. Art comes from life and is higher than life. I didn’t expect that this scene can also be seen in reality.
.
Sitting in meditation is a basic skill for monks. This middle-aged monk wants to compete with Master Tanyin to see who can meditate longer, and compete to be the longest-lasting monk in Jingguo. This is really a bit of a bully.
One is a strong adult man, and the other is an old man with half a foot in the coffin. Isn't it obvious who will last longer than the other?
"Master wants to preside over this water and land ceremony. He doesn't have time to deal with trivial matters. If it's for this reason, please come back." Since the other party is here to cause trouble, the monks of Hanshan Temple are not polite and even invite these few people.
The monk has no intention of drinking a cup of tea.
"I heard that Hanshan Temple in Jingguo is a holy place for Buddhism, and Master Tanyin is a great monk. We have come all the way. Is this how you treat guests?" A young monk who came with the old monk suddenly said.
"What, Jingguo Hanshan Temple?"
"Aren't these monks from Jingguo?"
"A monk from another country dared to cause trouble in the Dharma assembly. He was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks!"——
If it were Monk Jingguo, everyone wouldn't mind watching a wonderful Zen discussion. After all, this kind of thing is not common. But since the other party is not Monk Jingguo and is here to cause trouble, they immediately no longer have such intentions.
The right way is to drag out bad guys and beat them to death.
There were many dignitaries in the temple today, and there were many guards around them. Several people immediately walked over to the monks.
The young monk realized that he had just made a mistake, and his expression changed slightly when he saw this.
The middle-aged monk holding an iron rod stood expressionlessly in front of the old monk, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Wait a minute." An old monk from Hanshan Temple waved his hand. The Water and Land Dharma Conference originally invited eminent monks from all over the world. Even if a monk from another country was beaten to death in Hanshan Temple with sticks, the reputation of Hanshan Temple would be tarnished.
The old monk looked at the middle-aged monk and said: "All living beings are empty. There is no enlightenment, no confusion, no saint, no ordinary, no giving, no receiving, no joy, no anger, and no Zen. Winning is also empty, and losing is also empty."
, what else do you want to discuss?"
"What does the master mean?" Some people were confused.
Among the surrounding believers, there were still people who were familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and they immediately gave an explanation to what the old monk had just said.
Everyone suddenly realized this and looked at the foreign monks with playful eyes.
Aren’t you going to talk about Zen? It’s okay now. Buddhism says that joy and anger are empty, and even Zen is empty. What else are you going to talk about? What do you want to talk about?
The middle-aged monk had no expression on his face. While everyone was looking at the joke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the old monk hard on the face.
"stop!"
"presumptuous!"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding monks from Hanshan Temple could not sit still. They gathered around and glared at the middle-aged monk.
The old monk was also stunned, and his face was in burning pain. After he came to his senses, he looked at him with angry eyes.
After being stunned for a short time, the onlookers began to look at him unkindly.
It’s okay to come here to disrupt the performance, but the monks from other countries dare to take action on Jingguo’s territory. I don’t want to go back today!
"It's over, this monk is in trouble." Li Yi couldn't help but say.
"Why?" Princess Shouning looked up at him.
Li Yi sighed and explained: "The master just said he was neither happy nor angry. Look at his expression now."
Princess Shouning turned her head in confusion, and immediately saw the angry look on the old monk's face, and understood immediately.
What he said himself, he couldn't even do it himself, so naturally it can't be counted...
People who originally didn't understand the cause of the incident overheard Li Yi's explanation, and they also woke up and looked at the monks with some changes in their eyes.
[ps: I don’t know the Buddhist scriptures and Dharma, so I found the information on the Internet, just novels. I will research the party seriously and quit the party. In addition, I have been looking for information for a long time, and the second chapter will be very late.]
