Chapter 27: Consciousness of the Cause of Birth, Extinction is Eliminated by Form

When I returned to the mountains, I was breeze all night.

The next morning, just woke up, when the Winter Solstice came to pay a visit. Xu You finished washing up and looked at her and smiled, "Last night in the Lantern Market, I saw you and Shen Meng..."

The little face of the Winter Sora flushed, and she stood in the room with her head down, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said unyieldingly: "Xiao Lang..."

Xu You walked over, stood in front of him, rubbed the bun of the winter solstice, and said, "Miss Cheng, it's time to get married! When you return to Beijing, Wenjun will accept you as her sister, and take her surname Zhan. I will talk to him about the three books and six rituals. I will let him marry you into the house with gloriousness."

The winter solstice raised his head, tears fell like rain, and said, "Xiao Lang..."

"Don't cry, this is a big joy..."

Xu You scraped her nose and her eyes were a little wet. Over the years, the Winter Solstice followed him thousands of miles away, and he had long regarded him as his sister. When his sister got married, she became a wife and a mother, who managed the family business, took care of her husband and children, and had another life. How could she not feel moved?

Zhang Xuanji took the Winter Solstice to the side and said some private words about his daughter's house. It was nothing more than how he had a relationship with Shen Meng and how he treated you. If they were in love, they would settle their lives as soon as possible... Anyway, the gossip heart has nothing to do with whether they were a fairy on earth, and they would burn wildly.

Xu You went out without disturbing anyone. He went up the mountain road and turned north and winded to the mountainside to the east. The white walls and eaves of the courtyard were exposed in the lush and pine trees.

It was originally a two-entry house. Although it was remote and had a pleasant scenery, it was later given to the great Buddhist master, Master Daorong, to become Jizhao Temple where she practiced and practiced Zen.

He knocked on the door and a girl came out. She was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was cute and cute and said, "Why did the layman come?"

"I came to Gui'an to ask for my old friend, and I would like to ask the two monks to take advantage of it!"

The two monks are the titles of nuns who have received full precepts in Buddhism. If you don’t know the other party’s position and seniority in Buddhism and are younger, you can call them the two monks.

The nun shook her head and said, "There are all monks in the temple who worship Buddha and recite scriptures. Cut off the dust roots, how can old friends come from? Please come back by lay Buddhists!"

Xu You smiled and said, "I can't answer the arguments of the two monks if I don't understand Buddhism. I just told you to report it to Xu You, and if Master Lianyin doesn't see you, I'll be fine."

The nun obviously had never heard of Xu You's name. She tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, layman!"

After a while, the nun came over panting and said, "Please... Please follow me with me... Master Lianyin has just finished his morning class and is waiting in the meditation room!"

I saw Lianyin, the former Xiao Yaoer, in the Zen room. Her wide black clothes covered the girl's young and colorful past. Without talking, just looking at her eyes, you can feel the peace and peace of her heart at this moment.

"Mr. Xu Langjun, I haven't seen you for a long time. Rong Guang is like the joy of being invincible back then." Lianyin did not deliberately avoid his old acquaintance with Xu You. It is this kind of openness that shows that he truly let go.

"I am busy with civil affairs and working hard, and I am getting older!" Xu You bowed slightly and said, "Have you been safe?"

"There is a flower in front of the Buddha [Biquge www.boquge.me], named Youtanhua, sprouted in a thousand years, budding in a thousand years, blooming in a thousand years, and it fades in a flash of fingers, and blooms in an instant. But after studying the scriptures hard, I understand the truth, but I can't find a way. I'm good, not good either!"

As the Great Vibhasha of Buddhism, Xu You naturally understood the meaning of Lianyin. She felt that life was short and wanted to achieve the right result in a short life. However, the original source of life was a thought of ignorance. Once there was life, it was divided into yin and yang, which is the so-called body and mind. Now it is necessary to "destroy", turn back to achieve enlightenment, and to obtain the fruit of nirvana, one must first remove the obstacles of the four physical bodies before it can be discussed.

How to remove color?

She still couldn't find the way, so she was happy to know the existence of the other shore, but was confused because she couldn't find the boat to survive the sea of ​​suffering.

OK, not good either!

Xu You said: "The existence of consciousness in life, and the extinction is eliminated from form. The principle will be enlightened suddenly, and the enlightenment will be eliminated. Things will not be eliminated suddenly, and they will be eliminated in sequence."

This is a famous quote from the "Lingyun Sutra". The principles can be realized suddenly, but to eliminate all the bad habits in the first half of life, you still have to practice hard for decades, step by step, and when you purify these bad habits, you will become a Buddha.

This is the method of practice.

This is the difficulty of asking Buddha.

Lianyin said: "Man has eight sufferings: birth, old age, illness, death, love and separation, long-lasting resentment, unrequited seeking, and the five aggregates are over. Because of the end of the order, when will it be liberated?"

"Namo Amitabha!" Xu You said: "The word A is a Buddha in the ten directions and three times, the word Mi is all Bodhisattvas, and the word D is 80,000 saints, which is complete among the three characters. The so-called Namo Amitabha Buddha is 84,000 Dharma doors, and all these six characters are collected. If you want to be liberated, there is nothing like chanting the Buddha's name, and the path of the master is in it!"

Lianyin was surprised and said, "What kind of Buddhist Dharma is this?"

“Mahayana!”

Lianyin fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she suddenly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the advice of Davibhasha. All appearances are false. If you see all appearances, you will see the Tathagata. My previous path is still attached to appearances!"

Xu You reached out to help him and said, "The master's cultivation is so exciting, congratulations!"

Lianyin's expression revealed a certain false joy and freehand painting, and said, "It is entirely up to the Great Vibhasha teachings, Lianyin has benefited a lot."

However, except for preaching the scriptures and teachings, the topics between the two cannot be discussed in the secular world anymore.

Xu You sighed in his heart, knowing that this visit was a bit rash, and he stood up and was about to say goodbye. Lian Yin smiled and said, "You guy will not come to the temple without any trouble. You might as well say it clearly. If you can do your best, you should do your best."

Xu You hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. He introduced the old grudges between Shanzong and Liu Hongyu, and the fact that Liu Hongyu is now determined to kill Shanzong. Because Lian Yin had a close relationship with Liu Hongyu when she became a monk, she came to ask for a handwritten letter. If she could persuade her to turn swords into jade, it would be best. But, take a step back and even if she could not become friends, at least she would advise her to give up the idea of ​​assassination, so as not to end in the end.

Lianyin knew that Liu Hongyu had been peeped by the thief of the pirate Ming, and knew that this was a poisonous sting that she had never pulled out in her heart. However, she didn't know that the thief was the Shanzong, and she didn't know that Liu Hongyu had now become a fifth-grade junior master. She relied on her own force and boldly assassinated the fourth-grade general of the court.

"Liu Hongyu was captured in assassination late at night. Shanzong let her go, and she was not investigated. The incident back then was actually just a misunderstanding. Shanzong did not really offend Miss Liu. After this capture and release, no matter how big the old grudge is, it should be settled. But you also know Liu Hongyu's temper, I'm afraid she will not give up..."

It involves her best friend and confidant before becoming a monk. Xu You is the only one she regards as her benefactor and friend. Lian Yin did not refuse and immediately wrote a letter, and then instructed the little girl who responded to the door to send Xu You out.

The gate of the temple closed, Xu You stepped back and bowed, then turned around and left with great strides.

"Lianyin, have you put it down?"

In the simple Zen room, Master Daorong asked faintly.

Lianyin said happily: "Disciple thought he had not let go yet, but when he saw it today, he realized that he had already let go completely as soon as he had fallen out of his hair. This mind does not cause any turbulence, this thought is free from worries, all actions are impermanent, everything is suffering, all dharmas have no self, and nirvana is joy!"

"Amitabha!"

Daorong put his hands together and said, "This should give birth to a pure mind, not to form, not to sound, smell, taste, touch, and law, not to have a mind, not to have anything to do, and to have a mind. Today, when I saw Xu You and forgot Xu You, I will eventually enter the Tao!"

The lotus voice divine ritual is bright inside, and the treasure face is propaganda, whispering: "Amitabha!"

After leaving Jizhao Temple, Xu You went to Xuanji Academy again and met many old friends. He also took the time to teach a class to the students of Tianjing Yusuan Academy. Yu Ce, who once came to Tianjing Yusuan Academy because of questioning Xu You, has become one of Zu Yan's favorite students. Zhang Xuanji also has a high evaluation of him. He is particularly talented in mathematics, mechanics, astronomy, geography, etc., and has also led many children of aristocratic families to come to listen to the lectures and study, and the number is no less than that of the Confucian Academy.

The origin of science often comes from inconspicuous small trickles. After the precipitation of the sun and the moon, it can eventually converge into a endless stream of seas. Xu You only opened the source of scientific thought in this era, and then used reasonable systems and power as a supplement. He firmly believed that it only takes a hundred years to change the future direction of the entire nation.

I saw Shen Meng in a separate building of the Academy Supervisory Committee. He didn't know that Xu You had learned everything and reported the operation of the Academy in an orderly manner for more than a year. Xu You listened for a while, interrupted him and said with a smile: "You can deal with these things and it's hard to decide. I will submit them to the Supervision Committee for consultation. I won't interfere. Today I am here to talk to you about another thing..."

Shen Meng inexplicably said, "Please tell me."

"I have already told someone to prepare the dowry for the Winter Solstice. When are you planning to propose marriage?"

"ah?"

After all, Shen Meng is a responsible man. After so long, he has not been too panicked. After a moment of stagnation, he said seriously: "I have been preparing to tell Weizhi about this matter before, but Dongshen feels embarrassed and ask me to wait... Since Weizhi knows, if I don't object, I plan to send someone to propose marriage tomorrow..."

Xu You patted his shoulder and joked: "The attitude is good. No wonder I can quietly kidnap the most capable general under my command. Then let me agree to propose marriage tomorrow and let Zhou Yong be a matchmaker. If the betrothal gift money is not enough, you can speak directly to me and don't be polite."

"The money is enough. The monthly salary of the academy is comparable to that of others' work for a year. I bought the fields and orchards, and the harvest is also good..." Shen Meng laughed and said, "Of course, some small amounts of money cannot be compared with rich families. I have to be very polite, so don't talk big..."

Xu You said angrily: "Don't worry, the Winter Solstice has become Wen Jun's sister. The dowry is enough for you to eat and use for a lifetime. If the betrothal gift is shabby, I will cut the dowry in half and you can weigh it yourself."

Shen Meng immediately injected chicken blood and said, "I'll go and sell the fields immediately..."

When the two were talking nonsense, Zu Qi pushed the door and rushed in, grabbed Xu You, and said, "Let me find it easy. I heard that the general came back and happened to catch up with the black thing. Let's try the power together..."

"It's really done?" Xu You was very surprised and was pulled out of the door by Zu Qi. He didn't forget to turn around and remind Shen Meng, saying, "You go find Zhou Yong and let him learn how to be a matchmaker, don't make jokes!"

Shen Meng looked at Xu You and Zu Qi in amazement and walked away from the stairs impatiently, wondering: What kind of black thing is that makes Xu You so excited?
