Both Gu Qingfeng and Mo Wentian have heard this sentence and both know its meaning.
There is no such thing as benevolence or unkindness in heaven and earth. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things without any desire to get any reward.
Heaven and earth treat all things the same. They are not particularly good to anyone or particularly bad to anyone. Everything develops naturally. In other words, no matter what all things become, it is their own behavior and has nothing to do with heaven and earth. The sky is still the same.
The earth is still the earth's business, everything is like going with the wind into the night, moistening things silently, the heaven and the earth are the most natural.
Heaven and earth are like this, and saints are no exception.
This is also true that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature.
only.
Neither Gu Qingfeng nor Mo Wentian knew what the saying "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all living things like straw dogs" and "Sages are unkind and treat all living beings like straw dogs" have anything to do with trust and distrust.
Monk Daxing Diao explained: "Below the saints are all ants. The saints don't care about our life or death at all, because after becoming a saint, there is no so-called good and evil, let alone any emotions, just like the way heaven and earth treat all things.
, there is no such thing as benevolence or unbenevolence.”
"Although our resurrected Zen ancestors have not yet become saints, they have practiced Buddhism for a long time, and have long been empty of the four elements and pure in the six roots. This is not only true for our Zen ancestors, but also for all the great ancestors. I don't care about the life and death of Zen.
It means they will care. Not only will they not care
, and I can definitely tell you that after cultivating to their level, there is only one obsession in the mind, and that is to pursue the true meaning of the Dao. If you can pursue the Dao, let alone kill us Zen disciples, just kill them.
My biological father and mother will not even frown."
"Do you two understand what I mean?"
Gu Qingfeng and Mo Wentian nodded.
They all understood it.
As Daxing Diao Monk said, it's not that he doesn't trust those Zen ancestors, but that the cultivation level of the Zen ancestors has gone beyond the scope of trust, because whether you trust or not will not affect those Zen ancestors.
What the ancestors did.
"Dahang."
Mo Wentian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "You have been cultivating Buddhism for a long time, right? With your cultivation level, even if it is not as good as those ancestors, it is definitely not far behind. Their four elements are empty and their six roots are quiet. For
If you seek the great road and don’t care about things outside yourself, why would you care? They have cut off the seven emotions and six desires, are you confused?”
"The seven emotions and six desires can't be cut off just by cutting them off, nor can they be cut off by cutting them off." The monk Daxing Daxing responded: "If the seven emotions and six desires were really so easy to cut off, they would have become saints long ago. Not to mention the pursuit of the true meaning of the great road, which is itself a
How to cut off this desire?"
"It is well known that the seven emotions are easy to cut off, but the six desires are difficult to cut off." Mo Wentian said: "But the problem is, as far as I know, you have practiced so far, not that you can't cut off the seven emotions and six desires, but that you have never done so, right?
?”
Monk Da Xing did not hide anything and said bluntly: "That's right! This is indeed what happened."
"Why? Is it difficult for you not to want to become a saint like those ancestors? Pursue the true meaning of the great road?"
"Who among those who practice doesn't want to become a god? Who doesn't want to pursue the true meaning of the Great Dao? Of course I do too, but the true meaning of the Great Dao is too illusory. So far, no one knows what the true meaning of the Great Dao is, and no one knows it.
I can tell you clearly that I am a very pragmatic person. If I don’t even know the true meaning of the Great Dao, why should I pursue it?”
Da Xing Dian Monk said: "As for becoming a saint, haha! I do think about it too. However, if the price of becoming a god is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, then I would rather not become a god than become a saint. I would rather be a sentient being.
I want to be a humane secular living Buddha, but I also don’t want to be a heartless, desireless and humane enlightened holy Buddha.”
"I would rather be a secular living Buddha than a holy Buddha, that's right!"
Mo Wentian praised: "You are worthy of being a living Buddha in the world. His realm is extraordinary."
"Come on, don't be so rude to me." Daxing Madang stared at Mo Wentian and asked: "Then again, as far as I know, you have never killed the seven emotions and six desires in your practice, right? Why don't you?
cut?"
"I practice Mo Wentian because I enjoy the process of self-transcendence that carries the joys and sorrows of separation and separation. It is not to pursue the so-called becoming a god or a saint, nor to pursue the so-called true meaning of the great road. What I pursue is the process of practice.
, rather than the result of practice.”
Da Xing Dian Monk nodded and murmured: "What we pursue is the process of practice, not the results." After a moment of reflection, he gave Mo Wentian an appreciative look and sighed: "Boy Mo, oh boy Mo, your state of mind
He's taller than me."
Mo Wentian smiled helplessly and said: "It's too flattering to Mo."
"I didn't praise you."
Turning around, the mad monk looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked: "Gu boy, what about you, why haven't you eliminated the seven emotions and six desires so far in your practice? Others may not know, but I know that you, the boy, have transcended so many great ways, and you have also transcended.
Why is it that you have lost yourself and only retained a heart full of emotions and desires? What’s the matter, is it difficult for you to be like Mr. Mo, who only pursues the process of cultivation and has no interest in the true meaning of the Tao? "
"I?"
Gu Qingfeng was lying on his back on a chair, with his legs crossed, drinking a small drink leisurely. When the monk asked this question, he shrugged, shook his head, and said: "To tell you the truth, my practice is right.
I’m not interested in becoming a god or a saint, nor am I interested in the true meaning of the Great Way. As for the process of cultivation, I’m not very interested either.”
"Then why do you want to practice?"
Next to him, Mo Wentian was also quite curious. He also wanted to know the reason for Gu Qingfeng's practice.
"Your question really stuns me. If you want to ask me what I practice, I don't do anything. Everyone practices, so I just practice. I don't think about why I practice. This is like everyone.
They are all alive, and so am I."
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin, thinking hard, and said: "If I have to say what I practice, it might be for survival, or for immortality, or for eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying life. You know, we are a
A common person, and a very common kind at that. As a common person, they don’t have any big pursuits. They just want to live a casual life. After all, it’s better to die than to live in vain.”
"If you have reached your level of cultivation, you will be considered a strange flower. I am afraid that I will never find another person like you in the past."
The monk Da Xing shook his head and sighed, and said: "However, even if I don't want to, I have to admit that your boy's seemingly vulgar and confused attitude towards practice is actually a lack of desire and pursuit. In your state,
It’s really damn high.”
"There is emotion and lust, there is no desire or pursuit, just letting nature take its course is the state of inaction." Mo Wentian also followed up and said: "My old brother, this kind of state of mind is really enviable to me."
"How's it going? Is your level high? Are you envious of me?"
Gu Qingfeng was not modest at all. Instead of being modest, he laughed out loud and proudly, saying: "Don't say you two envy me, even I envy me! Hahahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Da Xing Madang secretly cursed him for being shameless, while Mo Wentian was also very speechless.
However.
At this moment, a mighty roar suddenly came from the sky.
"Da Xing, you old bald ass, get out of here, grandpa!"
