Chapter 43: Students also ask teachers to enlighten me
Li Longqian directly made Ming Yongshou angry and glared at him. You must know that Mr. Ming has lived for such a long time, and no one has ever spoken to him in this tone.
"Tell me clearly, where are the flaws in this book?" Ming Yongshou stared at Li Longqian and shouted.
Ming Yongshou's voice made Mingle swim unconsciously. After all, he had never seen his grandfather like this before. Scholars pay attention to self-cultivation, so Ming Yongshou is still very controlled on weekdays.
Regarding my emotions, I always have a faint aroma of books when I do things. Today, I look like a reckless person, not to mention the aroma of books.
"Are you asking me for advice?" Li Longqian asked while eating and looking at Ming Yongshou.
Ling Shiqing couldn't help but smile after hearing this request, but after seeing Ling Yuanzhou's eyes that seemed to be murderous, she quickly returned to normal.
"I...I'm asking you for advice? What do you think?" Mr. Ming was also dumbfounded by Li Longqian's words. A person who has been a teacher for half his life has always been asked by others. When does he ask for advice?
Li Longqian's words were nothing more than a joke in Ming Yongshou's eyes.
"Don't you ever ask others for advice?" Li Longqian looked at Ming Yongshou in front of him, and suddenly felt that this old man seemed to be very similar to Jiang Chengcheng. He had been a scholar for half his life and finally started to stand on his own laurels when he finally achieved a little bit.
Spirit, rely on the old and sell the old.
"My grandfather turned out to be the prince's master, how could he ask others for advice?" Mingleyou explained in a low voice for Ming Yongshou.
"Haha, I'm full." Li Long put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands with a smile, then turned around and looked Ming Yongshou up and down, and said in a low voice: "Old man, how long has it been since you asked someone for advice?"
Li Longqian's shout from the old man made Ling Shi's love unmatched by that little cherry mouth, and Ling Yuanzhou's whole body broke into a cold sweat.
"This... what does this have to do with the flaw in the book?" For some reason, Ming Yongshou always had an indescribable feeling when he looked at the young man next to him, as if something was pressing on his chest, and he wanted to grow a baby.
But he couldn't breathe out. You must know that Ming Yongshou was the teacher who faced the princes and ministers every day. Ming Yongshou had never had such a feeling when facing those high-ranking people, but this playful and smiling young man made it difficult for him to get through it.
gas.
"I just said that this book was okay to read five years ago, but five years later, it is useless to read it. I want to ask you, have you asked other people questions in the past five years? Have you read new books?
Do you feel that what you are learning and using now will be valid at all times? Is it true that the old saying goes, "Learn as you go"
Have you never heard the saying? Learning and living till old age does not just mean reading alone. You must always know to learn new things. This is the original meaning of this sentence. How can you talk about progress if you are stuck in reading books? " Li Longqian
Looking at Ming Yongshou aggressively, Li Longqian said these words to Jiang Chengcheng exactly once before.
"You...you..." Ming Yongshou said "you" twice and was speechless. He was exactly the same as Jiang Chengcheng's reaction.
"What are you doing? There is no distinction between young and old when it comes to reading. Whoever has the final say has the final say. Don't you understand this, old man?" Li Longqian looked at Ming Yongshou and asked.
"Don't mess around." Ling Yuanzhou on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and pointed at Li Longqian and scolded him.
"No." Ming Yongshou stood up and shouted to Ling Yuanzhou, then bowed respectfully to Li Longqian, and then whispered: "Students, please ask the teacher for advice!"
The sound of a student asking the teacher for advice frightened Ling Yuanzhou and he quickly grabbed Mr. Ming and said, "Teacher Ming, what are you doing? This is absolutely impossible!"
"City Master Ling, please start. This little brother is right. There is no distinction between young and old when it comes to reading. The ignorant should ask the knowledgeable for advice and call them "teacher." Ming Yongshou said calmly, looking at Ling Yuanzhou.
"What are you doing?" Ling Yuanzhou replied with a troubled face. If others knew that the old man of the Ming family actually bowed to his son-in-law, wouldn't it mean that the world would call him Ling Yuanzhou for being ignorant and a confused person?
.
"Old sir, since you understand what I mean, you don't have to be polite. I don't have many rules." Li Longqian actually wanted Ming Yongshou to understand that seeking knowledge should have an attitude of seeking knowledge.
This book is written by you, and you have read it for a few more years than me, so you can tell me
The questions were asked with a questioning attitude, and the written rules were naturally followed. Li Longqian saw that Ming Yongshou was a sensible person, so he did not continue to be embarrassed, and reached out to pick up the "Outline of the Wooden Scripture"
He looked at Ming Yongshou and asked: "Did you write this book, old gentleman?"
"Exactly." Ming Yongshou replied seriously.
Li Longqian flipped through the book casually and then said slowly: "I read this book three years ago, together with the "Eighty-Adorned Flower Sutra"."
"This book was rewritten by me based on the Dafangguangfo Yanhua Sutra. I wonder what book the Eighty-Old Yanhua Sutra the teacher mentioned is?" Ming Yongshou asked with a frown.
"Your "Outline of the Wooden Sutra" is actually adapted from many Buddhist scriptures. Isn't this correct?" Li Longqian also looked serious at this time.
"I have actually read the Dafang Guangfo Yanhua Sutra that you mentioned. It is a very good sutra that depicts to the world the fragrance of a house with dead branches, fallen leaves, flowers in full bloom, butterflies and bees flying.
Bright and full of vitality, "ending to the realm of perfection". It can be said that every verse,
Every sentence is an outline, and unfolding is an infinite method. A person who spends his whole life preaching the Avatamsaka Sutra will never be able to finish it. But the scriptures are scriptures after all. Monks have time to study them, but we ordinary people don’t have time, so
What you do is try your best to use words that ordinary people can understand
The method in it is displayed in front of people. It is said that it took you five years to write this book. In fact, I think if you had not put in a lot of hard work, you would definitely not have been able to complete it in five years. At least it would not have been completed.
It would take ten years, so when I first started reading it, I thought this book "Wood"
"Sutra Outline" is certainly no different from those ordinary translations, which are just general explanations. However, after reading it, I feel that this book is still a superior work. The text is easy to understand and concise, but it does not lose the "Da Fang Guang Fo"
The foundation of Yanhua Sutra is indeed suitable for today’s scholars to study.”
What Li Longqian said made Ming Yongshou and others dumbfounded. At first, Ming Yongshou thought that Li Longqian was just pretending, but in order to find out more, Ming Yongshou still called Li Longqian "teacher". If he could
It's okay to say something, but if you can't say anything, then you have to settle the account carefully, even if
Ming Yongshou had to settle the accounts, and Ling Yuanzhou also had to settle the accounts. But after Li Longqian finished speaking, Ming Yongshou knew that he was right in calling his teacher today.
"Compendium" and the most classic among Buddhists, "The Dafang Guangfo Yanhua Sutra" can be understood so thoroughly, then he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Ling Yuanzhou also never expected that Li Longqian was really not just talking nonsense. He had actually read the "Outline of the Wooden Scripture" and could speak it eloquently. Could it be that his daughter really found a way for him to have good skills and knowledge?
A knowledgeable son-in-law?
As for Ling Shiqing, she was smiling secretly, and the girl's heart in her arms was beating involuntarily.
"Teacher, what do you mean by this flaw?" Ming Yongshou looked at Li Longqian very politely and asked.
"Ah, you mentioned this flaw, but I can't really blame you." Li Longqian waved his hands indifferently, and then continued: "The "Dafang Guangfo Yanhua Sutra" you were reading was from the Kingdom of Tianzhu.
It has been passed down, after all, the origin of Buddhism is in Tianzhu, so most of the scriptures here, whether in the previous dynasties or now, are handwritten copies.
This manuscript was originally copied manually, so it is inevitable that there will be errors, and the same is true for the "Dafang Guangfo Yanhua Sutra" you are reading. I just said that every sentence and verse of that sutra is an outline.
The longest one only has fifty words, and the shortest one is four. Think about it, if one word is wrong in such a concise text, wouldn’t it be a huge difference?”
"Yes." Ming Yongshou nodded slightly.
"Your "Dafang Guangfo Yanhua Sutra" itself has flaws, and you are looking at the "Outline of the Wooden Sutra" written in that book. Your job is to translate, explain and extend it, but other people's sutras
The article itself is wrong, so the method you can understand is naturally wrong."
"How did the teacher know that there were flaws in the Dafangguangfo Yanhua Sutra?" Ming Yongshou still didn't believe it.
"As I said just now, when I read your book, I read it along with the Eighty-Adorned Flower Sutra, and the "Fang Guangfo Adorned Flower Sutra" and the "Eighty-Adorned Flower Sutra" are actually the same book.
This book, but when the two scriptures were introduced to our Daliang
It was five years apart. When you wrote the book, the "Eighty-Adorned Flowers Sutra" did not yet exist. However, the "Eighty-Adorned Flowers Sutra" conveys the Buddhist teachings more accurately than the one you read.
, it can be said to be the most authoritative Yanhua Sutra!”
"Is this really true?" Ming Yongshou asked with wide eyes.
"How can I still lie to you?" Li Longqian rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then continued: "If the city lord has these two books, you can take them out and compare them, wouldn't you know if I am lying?"
"I'll go get it right away."
Ling Yuanzhou hurriedly ran outside the house before Ming Yongshou could speak.
"I wonder who your teacher is who can teach such an outstanding student." After Ling Yuanzhou left, Ming Yongshou looked at Li Longqian with a smile and asked.
