Bayan Har Mountain, at the foot of the Wenze Snow Mountain, the ninth peak in the southeast, in the Baoping Temple, Zen Master Baoping retreated for three days before he came out of his quiet room. Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains outside the temple, Zen Master Baoping was stunned for a long time and sighed.
tone.
He grew up in Baoping Temple since he was a child. Because of his understanding of Buddha nature and his bravery and diligence in cultivation, he was accepted as a disciple by the previous abbot. After that, he worked hard to cultivate him and became the first eminent monk to be certified as an Arhat since the establishment of Baoping Temple.
.
After the old abbot passed away, he took over the title of Zen Master Baoping and became the seventh abbot. In the next twenty years, Baoping Temple has grown from an unknown small temple to the largest temple in Bayan Har, enjoying the worship of all people.
, the incense is flourishing!
Back then, Zen Master Aquarius was so high-spirited and confident. His ultimate goal was to attain Buddhahood, get rid of the suffering of reincarnation, and go to the bliss of the West. Unfortunately, since he was confirmed as Arhat King, his practice has gradually declined.
It slowed down. After the Arhat attained the golden body, he needed to achieve the knowledge of desire liberation and the wisdom of examination and follow-up among the sixteen insights. It took him a full eight years to see the self-image, and the spirit body wanted to separate from itself; and he used
In ten years, his true self was divided into three phases - the phase of destruction and impermanence, the phase of fear of suffering, and the phase of no-self.
Nowadays, the signs of destruction, impermanence and fear of suffering have been seen through. Only the sign of selflessness is always vague. He says he has not seen through it, but he has clear perception. He says he has seen through it, but there is always a window in between.
Paper separates his observation from selflessness.
Aquarius Zen Master has been practicing hard for another eight years. If he cannot see through the image of selflessness, he will not be able to achieve the wisdom of examination and observation. His golden body of Arhat will not be able to reach perfection. Of course, he will not be able to achieve the fruit of Bodhisattva, let alone the status of Buddha.
Already.
The monk Minghui has been waiting outside the quiet room. He was the first monk in the temple to react. He hurried over and said: "Master."
The sannyasin is the abbot's office. In the temple, he mainly handles tedious affairs for the abbot, including official and private affairs. In fact, he is the abbot's assistant. This role is closely related to the abbot, and is usually the most important role of the abbot.
The chosen disciple takes up the post, so the so-called "transferring the mantle" in Buddhism refers to this role.
Zen Master Aquarius frowned and said nothing. Monk Minghui's heart sank and he said cautiously: "Master, if it doesn't work, it's better not to pay too much attention. Everything should be done according to fate. If you worry too much, I'm afraid it will hinder your state of mind.
, if you have a mental disorder, that’s the biggest headache.”
Zen Master Baoping's brows slowed down and he nodded: "That's right. It's because I'm obsessed with being a teacher... but it's not all in vain. I should still be able to try the techniques I got from Jialan Temple. It's a pity that I didn't use them this time.
Inhuman."
Minghui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "In this case, I will look for a more suitable person and ask Master to tell me what kind of talent should be selected. This matter should not be made public. I will handle it myself."
Zen Master Aquarius shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. There are very few people like this in the world. I'll think about this again and see if there is a better way... Is there anything going on in the temple these days?
"
Minghui said: "Tianlongyuan has issued an edict and is urging people to go to Baima Mountain. They say that there are many good people from the Taoist sect, and our Buddhist sect cannot show weakness. In the past few days, all the temples on the Seventeenth Peak on the East Road of Bayan Har Mountain have gathered.
I sent someone over to ask, wanting to know when Master is leaving so that they can go with him."
Zen Master Baoping pondered and said: "Let each peak go on its own. Just say that I can't get away here and it's not time yet."
Minghui nodded: "I understand, Master... By the way, Master, Zen Master Puzhen came to visit yesterday and is now in the guest house."
Zen Master Baoping said "Oh" and asked, "Is there anything urgent? Don't neglect me." After saying that, he walked out and rushed to the guesthouse to receive him in person.
Minghui chased after him: "Master Puzhen seemed anxious. The disciple asked, but he refused to tell. He only said that he wanted to talk to you. Well, he is the master's best friend. How dare the disciple neglect to talk to him...
"
"That's good," Zen Master Baoping kept walking, and suddenly turned around and said, "Don't follow me. First, settle the Taoist priest in the quiet room and give him a bowl of Ganoderma lucidum and hibiscus soup to nourish his body and bones. Well, let's take care of him."
I also gave him one of the Shenwu pills I refined to bring him back to his senses. This matter must not be known to outsiders, understand?" Before Minghui could reply, he was already far away.
Minghui received the master's instructions. She first went to the kitchen to find the monk Dianzuo and asked for a bowl of freshly brewed Ganoderma lucidum and hibiscus soup. Then she went to the master's Zen room to find the porcelain bottle containing Shenwu pills, took one pill, and then returned to the master's Zen room.
Quiet room.
The quiet room of Zen Master Aquarius was divided into two rooms. Minghui passed through the outer room and pressed a trick on the wall. The wall slowly opened to the left and right sides, revealing a dark inner room. There was only one room in the inner room.
There was a middle-aged Taoist priest lying on a simple wooden bed, his limbs bound by iron chains.
Minghui waved her hand to light the oil lamp on the wall, and leaned over to look at the Taoist priest. She saw that the Taoist priest's face was pale, his eyes were staring at Minghui in fear, but his body was motionless.
Minghui slapped the Taoist priest on the forehead and released the seal on his body.
The Taoist priest immediately began to twist with all his strength, and at the same time destroyed his magic power, trying to break free from the iron chains. The four iron chains suddenly aroused bursts of red light and trembled violently.
Minghui smiled and said: "Niubi, don't waste your efforts. This is fine iron produced at the foot of Dege Mountain. It has been blessed by my master with the Vajra Power of the Original Vow. No matter how hard you exert it, the chain will return to you intact, so
"Don't bother me. You can't even beat me, how can you get better with the magic weapon refined by my master? It's impossible for you to break free."
After hearing this, the Taoist priest's face became a little more gloomy. After struggling several times, he finally stopped, remained silent for a moment, and asked: "What do you want? I am not your opponent. Since I am defeated by you, it doesn't matter if I die."
, why are you locking me here and tossing me around?"
Minghui said: "Monks don't tell lies. To be honest, Master asked me to give you medicine. A bowl of Ganoderma lucidum and hibiscus soup. Drinking it will nourish your body and bones. There is also a pill of spiritual medicine refined by Master, which can help you return to your hometown.
You are so energetic. Don’t worry, it’s not a ****. If I wanted you to die, you would have died long ago and there is no way you could survive until now.”
The Taoist priest couldn't help but trembled: "I've always heard that monks are compassionate, how could you be so cruel? What kind of evil method did your master do to me? Why did you give me medicine if you tortured me? What do you want?
What to do?"
Minghui smiled and said: "My Buddha's compassion is also shared by others. For the common people of the world, we Buddha disciples are not afraid of sacrificing our lives to feed tigers, but we are not afraid of killing evil spirits and heretics with great terror! The two families of Buddhism and Taoism are not allowed in the world.
"Come on, what are you talking about about 'compassion' now? Are you telling me a joke?" As he spoke, he lifted the Taoist priest's upper body up slightly and was about to feed him soup and medicine.
The Taoist priest turned his head and refused, but Minghui was not angry at all. He put the bowl over and said at the same time: "To be honest, it's not for your own good that you take the soup. I'm just afraid that if you die, my master's practice of Kung Fu will be delayed again."
How many days. However, if you don’t drink, you will definitely not be able to get through it. But after drinking, you will at least have a chance of escaping. What do you think? Although this chance is very slim, you can tell everything.
Chance, maybe you really are the one who got it? I heard that your Taoist sect respects nature and advocates letting everything happen. You fell into my hands. This is the chance between you and me. You are just useful to my master. This
This is also your chance to survive. Drinking this bowl of soup and taking this medicine may be your chance to escape in the future. Do you think I am right?"
The Taoist priest closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly he turned his head, opened his mouth and drank the medicinal soup Minghui held.
Swallowed it.
Minghui's eyes were complicated. She glanced at the Taoist priest a few times, nodded and praised, "You are a very smart person." After saying that, she exited the inner room and closed the wall again.
