Zen Master Yizhi nodded and said: "This is correct, but you have misunderstood it. This statement comes from Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching. What he said is: Heaven and earth have benevolence, which breeds all things; Laozi said that heaven and earth do not care about benevolence.
, there is no need to be unkind. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things, and they did not want to get any reward. Heaven and earth regard all things as the discarded grass dogs, and they are not particularly good to people, and are particularly bad to other things. The core of its meaning is to say
, all things in the world are treated equally in the eyes of heaven and earth, and there is no distinction between high and low, nobility, preparation, good and bad. Heaven and earth do not regard what people think is good as good, nor do they regard evil as evil. Human nature's inherent concept of good and evil cannot be
The universal values of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the world has not wronged you, but has cultivated you, and even fulfilled you, without asking for anything in return. Why do you want to look down on him? If you look down on him, wouldn't you be repaying kindness with enmity? Your parents gave birth to you, and you have to do it.
Are you going to look down on your parents?"
Fang Zheng was immediately speechless...
"Fangzheng, my teacher gave you this name. You are square and upright, not outstanding, but not aggrieved, moderate and upright. My teacher doesn't have too many thoughts about you. I just want to wait until you grow up and do things.
Be able to live and do things in an upright way. When you encounter anything, you have to ask your heart whether you can do this kind of thing, whether you want to do it, and whether it must be done. The mind is upright, the body is upright, the person is upright, and the direction is upright.
!Your name may not be outstanding, but it is integrated with all the expectations of a teacher." Zen Master Yi Zhi stroked Fang Zheng's head kindly and said.
Fang Zheng listened and seemed to understand...
But at this moment, when Fang Zheng thought about this scene again, it was as if he was enlightened, and a big hole was blasted out of the boredom in his heart!
Fang Zheng looked at the anger, hatred, and sorrow in front of him, and allowed these emotions to continue to distort and change, recreating the scene of his parents abandoning him. However, Fang Zheng's face no longer had the ferocious look before, but looked at all this with a calm expression, knowing
In the sea, Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, facing the ever-changing negative emotions in the sky, and smiled slightly: "Although the poor monk has had no parents since he was a child, he also longs to have parents, but what the poor monk longs for is only the incomplete love. But from another person
From another perspective, the poor monk received more love from more people because of the love of his disabled parents. At this point, I am afraid that no child in the whole village can compare with me! Why was I able to be the king of children when I was a child?
It’s not because I can fight, because no matter whose child fights with me, no matter he wins or loses, his parents will definitely beat him! Then he pulled me aside and coaxed me well, and gave me all kinds of delicious food. At that time, the child
Everyone said that I was their parents’ biological child, and they all picked me up from the trash can...
On the mountain, Zen Master Yizhi’s love for me surpassed everything else...
Others only have one pair of parents, but I have so many parents. What else should I resent?
If you really want to say that there is, it is just a pity. It is a pity that my life is missing a pair of relatives connected by blood. But this is life. Life becomes wonderful because of unsatisfactory life, and the road becomes endlessly changing and wonderful because of lack.
; Because of the lack, the world has the power to create and is wonderful. Since it is destined to have shortcomings, the lack of a poor monk is nothing more than this!
Thank you for taking me to see the shortcomings in my heart. The poor monk didn't face it before, not because he didn't dare to face it, but..." At this point, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed: "I actually forgot to return it.
There is such a thing..."
Yes, Fang Zheng has indeed forgotten. If he still thought about his parents before, but as he became more and more sensible, developed a system, studied Buddhism day and night, and had four disciples by his side, his little life has become incomparable.
Comfortable and fulfilling. Where do you find the time to think about those things?
"Today you took me to watch it again, and I experienced the ups and downs of life. This feeling... is really good. But that's it, thank you for your hard work, let's go." After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he took a deep breath.
He recited the "Diamond Sutra" loudly! A ray of Buddha's light tore apart the barrier of darkness and rushed straight into the sea of consciousness and the sky!
Fang Zheng, who originally had his eyes closed while playing the drum, suddenly opened his eyes. There was only a dark, simple drum in front of him, and no trace of ferocity could be seen! At the same time, Fang Zheng could feel waves of gentle energy pouring into his body, converging on him.
In the back of my head, the whole person suddenly became more energetic, and the thoughts became as fast as lightning. The whole body seemed to be baptized by something, and it was extremely comfortable!
Fang Zheng knew that this was the Buddha's energy entering his body and baptizing his whole body! Fang Zheng subconsciously ran the Fetal Breath Sutra, and the energy actually moved with the movement of the Fetal Breath Sutra. Fang Zheng could feel that something was happening in his body.
There were astonishing changes, but he couldn't tell exactly what it had become.
Fang Zheng is still beating the drum, and the monkey over there is still ringing the bell.
The sound of bells and drums accompany each other, one is grand and majestic, powerful and sacred, but also has a Zen feel in it; the other is evil and fierce, with endless temptation, as if it wants to dig out all the bad things in people's hearts! Two waves
The sound collides and cancels out in the sky above the temple. The temple is like a squeezed sponge. With one impact, a trace of the will power of sentient beings and Buddha energy is squeezed out, blends into the sound, and then spreads with the sound.
Unfortunately, the vow power and Buddhist energy in Yi Zhi Temple are still too small and cannot spread very far. At most, they can only cover the top of Yi Zhi Mountain. No matter how far it is, nothing can be done...
Even so, the animals and plants on the mountain have also benefited greatly. The plants are getting stronger and drooling, and the birds are becoming more lively and agile. The entire mountain seems to be activated by this sound, and even the rocks give people a sense of peace.
The beauty of life. Of course, stones are still stones after all, still dead objects, but the feeling has changed.
Although the people at the foot of the mountain had not been baptized by the Buddha's aura and vows, they were still a little depressed because of the sound of the drums... But when the bell rang, the feeling of being instantly relieved of their boredom made them feel happy.
It's like taking a big gulp of ice water in the desert in midsummer, it's refreshing and refreshing!
They don’t know that the effect of the Kui Niu War Drum is to dig out negative emotions, while the Yongle Bell is to remove negative emotions. One digs and one removes. The effect will not be seen in a short time. Over time, people who often listen to the morning bells and evening drums will become more and more troubled.
The fewer people you have, you will think about everything from a happy and positive perspective. Think about everyone, the more harmonious you will get along with each other, and the more harmonious society will be.
So, a few years later, the entire Songwu County was honored to become a national moral model county... This place is famous for its many good people!
But that's all for later. In front of him, Fang Zheng knocked one hundred and eight times according to the rhythm!
