So Fang Zheng has made up his mind and will not go up no matter what!
Fang Zheng said: "Thank you for clarifying my doubts, but I still refuse to participate."
"Abbot Fangzheng, there must be a reason for your refusal." Someone immediately asked unwillingly.
Fang Zheng said matter-of-factly: "As Master Yixing said, the rules are the rules. How can they be abolished just because of a poor monk? There is no need to fight for this spot. What's more, the poor monk has read very few scriptures and comprehended even less.
There is nothing to say." Regarding this, Fang Zheng had no intention of hiding it. Being uneducated is not scary, but being uneducated and holding on is scary.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had met such a master in so many years. Usually everyone fought for it, but this time, everyone refused to persuade them to come. Could it be that they had no money in their stomachs? They were too embarrassed to go on stage? They even excused themselves from not watching.
Have you read the scriptures? If you haven’t read the scriptures, can you express such a reasonable sentiment?
Although I think so, no one says so.
Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at Fang Zheng became a little complicated. Some were pleased with Fang Zheng's frankness, while others believed in Fang Zheng, so they all felt that Fang Zheng, an unlearned boy, hated iron but not steel.
Jiang Li, can’t you understand Buddhism well?
Zen Master Baiyun spoke again: "Abbot Fangzheng, are you sure you want to give up?"
Fang Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, give up."
Zen Master Baiyun nodded and said, "In that case, Master Yixing, then it's up to you."
Hearing this, Yi Xing smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and said, "Disciple, I obey."
When Hong Jing saw this, he was immediately overjoyed. Until the group walked up to the stage to give a lecture, he still felt as if he was in a dream. In his opinion, there was absolutely no chance this time. Who would have thought that Fang Zheng would give up on his own initiative?
It's like pie-in-the-sky good luck! However, Hong Jing also thought more about it. Looking at Fang Zheng who was there to certify and listen to the scriptures, he murmured in his heart: "Is it true that you are down-to-earth and generous, or is there nothing in your stomach?"
On the stage, Yi Xing was talking about the Avatamsaka Sutra! Naturally, what he could understand at his age was limited, but Yi Xing very cleverly avoided talking about the Avatamsaka Sutra as a whole, and instead explained one point from it.
.
"The poor monk recited the "Huayan Sutra" day and night, and he had some insights in his heart. Especially the sentence "One is many, many is one" mentioned in the sutra. Many people in the world are deceived by the numbers in it, but they don't
You know, the one and many here do not just represent numbers. They represent one and all dharmas. All dharmas are unified, and one transforms all dharmas into heaven and earth. Between heaven and earth, the heart of self is the only one, and all dharmas in heaven and earth are the same.
It evolves from the heart, reaches the heart, and all dharmas are born..." The line spoke eloquently for a full twenty minutes, explaining very thoroughly the concept that the mind is the only one that can control all dharmas.
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded, praised secretly, and even burst into applause from time to time. This was the treatment that the abbots did not receive when they were giving lectures.
When he finished speaking and stood up to salute, everyone gave him thunderous applause!
Hong Jing was even more excited, and his hands were almost swollen.
The group was also very satisfied with the reaction of the monks below, but their eyes would more or less glance at Fang Zheng, who was also applauding.
Zen Master Baiyun smiled and said: "Hongjing, your Jinzhu Temple has a successor in the future."
Hong Jing laughed loudly and said: "That's nature, that's nature..."
When everyone saw Hong Jing smiling so happily, they also laughed knowingly. The previous argument was just an argument. After the argument, everyone was still friends and they were sincerely happy for Hong Jing.
Zen Master Baiyun said to Yi Xing again: "Yixing, do you have anything to say?"
The group put their hands together and said in greeting: "What the poor monk said is just his personal experience. The poor monk wants Abbot Fangzheng to give some comments."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. No one expected that a group of people would make such a request. But then, everyone suddenly realized...
"This industry is really good at being a good person. I am taking this opportunity for Fang Zheng to share his experience on stage and become famous together."
"A Bodhisattva has a heart and a good understanding, and the future is limitless..."
…
Everyone just thought that Yi Xing was repaying the favor that Fang Zheng wanted, but they didn't know that Yi Xing's real idea was to explore Fang Zheng's depth again!
Fangzheng was dumbfounded and asked him to go up again? He hid for a long time, but in the end, the blame was thrown on his head again! He had heard of the "Huayan Sutra" and read it, but only a little bit. After all, it was all on the Internet.
It is fragmented information, and it is too laborious to read the entire scripture.
But what makes Fang Zheng happy is, what can Yi Xing say? It has to be said that one is many, and many is one! This is what Fang Zheng was reading at the time, and he also had some insights of his own. But because he saw it
There were too few scriptures, so he didn’t know if his insights were correct or not. After all, his insights came from looking at mountains, water, and rocks, rather than from the accumulation of scriptures. I checked online.
No one else has the same perception as him.
Therefore, Fang Zheng is also a bit unsure.
Now that the group was forced to come to the door, Fang Zheng had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Seeing that Fang Zheng actually came on stage, the group felt a little regretful and thought: "Does he really have the ability? However, even if he does have the ability, I have good intentions and he can't blame me. If he doesn't have the ability, huh... I don't
It’s just a crackdown on fraud.”
Fang Zheng came up to the stage, saluted Zen Master Baiyun, then clasped his hands and saluted everyone, then sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "There is really nothing I can do, the jar broke, so I closed my eyes.
You’re just talking nonsense, if it works, there’s nothing you can do if it doesn’t work.”
Then Fang Zheng said: "The poor monk has a somewhat different view on the saying in the Avatamsaka Sutra that one is many and many is one."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned. They came up with different insights and said that they were going to compete with a group of people! Suddenly, everyone became energetic and wanted to see what Fang Zheng could realize!
Fang Zheng said: "The Buddha said that all living beings suffer, but where does the suffering of all living beings lie? The Yizhi Temple where the poor monk lives is very remote, and only a handful of people go up the mountain every year. The master of the poor monk went to Hexi last year, and now there are only a few people left.
The poor monk himself could only endure the empty temple and understand some things that he didn't quite understand. Until one day, a wolf and a squirrel entered the poor monk's life, and the poor monk suddenly became enlightened! When the wolf was full, he
I am very happy. The squirrels are also full. Some of them are happy when they play. They are carefree and leisurely every day. But people are different. People suffer when they are hungry. They still suffer when they are full and want to eat well. The suffering of not having children is there.
The child dislikes tiredness and suffering... All living beings suffer, but animals alone are happy? What's the explanation?
As Master Thich Hanh said, all dharmas come from the heart, all phenomena come from the heart, and everything comes from the heart. There is only one heart, but the heart can evolve into infinite troubles. Therefore, the Buddha said that one is many. And many is one, and poverty is
The monk believes that only by abandoning those worries and turning thousands of worries into a pure heart can we truly be liberated and gain great freedom!"
As soon as Fang Zheng said this, everyone was dumbfounded, silent, and even shocked!
