Chapter 15 Determination and Indeterminacy
Pure nature without a single thought is the saying that nature is empty, but how can it be emptiness? How can it be achieved?
The ugly girl Zhao Qinghe originally thought that she was extremely smart and far superior to others, but she didn't expect that she had obtained the "The True Interpretation of Great Nirvana", but she couldn't understand it in the first lecture.
Yes, just like this little monk said, the Nirvana Sutra talks about pure nature, that is, no thought arises. But as long as you have this idea, a person wants to achieve pure nature and wants no thought arise in his heart. But as long as you think so, will there be thoughts in his heart?
This "thought" is called "no thought arises"!
The ugly girl believes that she has a lot of Buddhist scriptures and has read many Buddhist scriptures in her daily life. She originally knew the saying "empt nature" and explained it in many scriptures, but never a single one is like this. But what makes the ugly girl most confused is that this is very reasonable.
How can human hearts be empty?
I just want to be empty, but this thought exists, and this is not empty.
As I thought about it, the ugly girl suddenly felt frustrated. Since emptiness is not empty and there is no way to do it, then is her wisdom really wisdom?
From the moment, I tried my best to get this scripture, but if this scripture is like this and I can't understand the first lecture, wouldn't it be wasted before? Is this still wisdom? Isn't it stupid?
Then, then... what else is the meaning of my life?!
"Miss Zhao!" The unsuccessful voice sounded in the ugly girl's ears, and she realized her consciousness.
"My God! What happened to me just now?" The ugly girl seemed to have just returned from her soul, and she was so shocked that she was sweating heavily.
"You are probably attached to appearances." Unsuccessful naturally saw the ugly girl's exquisite figure, but he had no choice but to put his eyes on it as much as possible and continued, "This is the difficult part of the true scriptures. The master told the young monk that over the past five hundred years, more than 20 monks in Donglin Temple have gone crazy because of this scripture. They were originally monks with extremely high wisdom and impeccable character, so..."
"So that's how it is." The ugly girl interrupted, "Master Huitong is really a bodhisattva. He is afraid that others will become crazy because of the scriptures, so he is not easy to see, but..." The ugly girl couldn't see it, and she understood the meaning very clearly.
"Miss Zhao, I understand what you mean." But I still have to say it, otherwise this ugly girl would not let her die. She just heard him say: "The first lecture of this true interpretation is to understand emptiness, but it is an 'unresolved interpretation'. The second lecture does not mean emptiness, but black and white, saying good and evil. Even if there is black, there is white, and if there is good, there is evil. This is the case in the world, there is always relative opposite things, but the most difficult one is that there is no thought, just like the one who said just now. This third lecture..."
When Bucheng saw Miss Zhao's face getting worse and worse, he had to jump and say, "Okay, I'll just talk about it to the end, that is, this true explanation, since there are 'birth thoughts', 'no thoughts', 'black and white, good and evil, then..." Bucheng pointed to a gray-colored pebbles under his feet and said, "Just say that this stone is black or white? Can you tell me?"
The ugly girl Zhao Qinghe, she was self-conceited and had an unparalleled plan. She really understood this statement at once. This talks about how to "constant black and white" and how to "constant good and evil".
It's like a piece of white cloth. Just look at it with your eyes and it's white. But if there is a piece of cloth that is even whiter than this, how can this piece of cloth be called white cloth?
I'm afraid it will be like this stone, and it can only be said to be gray and white.
And what about good and evil?
Just say that killing is naturally evil, but if you kill one person and save the people, it is called a good deed in Buddhism.
What is good and what is evil?
Can it be decided?
When you think about it again, "create thoughts" and "no thoughts", this is the easiest to determine. Having thoughts in your mind is a thought, and having no thoughts means not having a thought, but... this is the most difficult thing to do!
But what is this talking about?
"No, do you really understand?" At this point, the ugly girl finally stopped calling her "stupid monk".
However, the answer that failed was, "Actually, the little monk never understood the master, but the master said I understood."
"Then what are you talking about?" The ugly girl was anxious.
At this moment, he recalled the night when he wanted to borrow a wooden fish hammer in his mind. He smiled and said, "The little monk first saw this true explanation a few years ago. What he said at that time was, 'Since black, white, good, and evil cannot be settled, then it is not determined. Since there is a 'certain' principle, why can't there be a 'certain' principle?' The little monk really never said he understood it."
So that's it!
All worldly knowledge is certain, and we must determine good and evil, and fight for black and white. However, this sutra is uncertain, and everything in the world is uncertain.
...
Donglin Temple, on the ruins.
"This is our platoon!"
"No! Why?!"
"That blue sky jadeite needs to be divided carefully..."
"Then should we move the whole piece down the mountain first? Or should we find a stonemason to come up?"
The six major sects in Jiangnan were already quarreling. The Pai Gang met with the Feilong Gang. The Diancang Sect was pointed at by the Xu family in Jiangyin. The Hengshan Sect and the Shouchun Xiang family were also bullied each other, as if they were unevenly divided into spoils.
"Everyone! Dear fellows!" What Feng Datong wanted to say at this time seemed useless.
It’s true that although this Donglin Temple is gone, there are indeed many treasures. I won’t talk about the big piece of blue sky jade. Even if the Sutra Pavilion was destroyed, the scriptures are still there. Although they are messy and many of them are damaged and separated, they are also treasures. After sorting them out, they may be a martial arts secret.
There seems to be not many valuable things in the temple, but throwing the martial arts secrets from this martial arts holy land into the world will definitely make people lose their heads. The situations in front of them are full of ugly appearances in the six major sects in Jiangnan, which is really normal.
But at this moment...
"Ha! What are you bandits going to do?"
"Hurry down the treasures of Donglin Temple!"
These two threats really scared the people of the six major sects in Jiangnan to stop the quarrel. They looked at them and saw three people appearing at the gate of Donglin Temple, one Taoist, one village girl, and the other one was a monk.
The one who just shouted was the Taoist and the village girl, and the monk's face looked very ugly and his eyes were blind.
Feng Datong is the highest among the six major sects at present, and he has been walking in the world for a long time. At a glance, he can see that this Taoist and the village girl should have a human skin mask on their faces, obviously hiding their true identity, but the other party’s origin is unknown, so it is better to explain it first.
"Two..."
But before he could finish speaking, the village girl interrupted him and said, "Are you the old guy the leader of the bandit?"
This sentence made Feng Datong choke at that time, and his face turned red and his neck was thick.
It's okay, someone came out to take the lead and was quite good at speaking. Xu Wei came out and said, "This girl, we are from the six major sects in Jiangnan. We came today to help Donglin Temple fight against the Magic Sect. But unexpectedly, the Magic Sect came first. I think it might have used some conspiracy and tricks to kill all the monks in Donglin Temple. At present, we are discussing how to attack the Magic Sect, and we are not a bandit."
This is indeed true. People from the six major sects nodded in agreement, but the village girl spat directly and said, "Bah! Who are you lying to? If you want to attack the Demon Sect, why move the things from Donglin Temple?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people from the six major sects looked shy, but the things in their hands... did not let go.
"Damn it! Are you the demons of the Demon Sect??" At this time, a man with red bumps on his face emerged from the crowd and pointed directly at the village girl.
He shouted, sure enough...
"Yes! It's you!"
"That's right, I'll kill demons today!"
The six major sects are eager to try and come up to take action, but at this moment...
"Ah!" The man with red bumps on his face fell to the sky, but saw a blood hole in his chest.
"Extremely shameless!" A peach wood sword returned to the old Taoist's hand, pointed at the corpse and cursed.
Just now everyone could see clearly that the peach wood sword flew out and took the man's life. For a moment, the six major sects were afraid to speak. Who can match this method?
"Senior, this matter..." Feng Datong spoke again. The move just now was really powerful. This flying sword took human life. I heard that I had never seen it. Today I really met an expert.
However, before he could finish his speech, the village girl there interrupted him again.
"You gangs of evil people! Do you want to kill someone to silence? Humph, you really blinded your eyes. If the three of us are demons in the Demon Sect, how can you live now? I think the six major sects in Jiangnan are quite famous. I heard that the Xu family in Jiangyin has also produced a good junior named Xu Wei. Since we walked in the world, we have some reputations."
When Xu Wei heard this, he was happy and immediately took a step forward and said, "Senior, here is Xu Wei!"
"You?" the village girl glared at her and expressed her disbelief.
"Oh!" Xu Wei sighed and continued: "I am really Xu Wei. Senior and we are both chivalrous people in the martial arts world, but there are some misunderstandings. In this way, my senior "Xiaoshan Sword Technique" in the Xu family in Jiangyin must have recognized it. I will use it to prove my innocence and show my ugliness!"
Swish, swish, I saw the long sword in white, with quite a magical power.
"It's still a fairy who is powerful, the old Taoist is willing to give in to the disadvantage..."
“Where…”
This old Taoist and the village girl are naturally the old Taoist and the fairy Qingluan. The two of them were talking in a voice at this time, so outsiders naturally didn't know that, but the old Taoist just showed a flying sword again, and his old bones were about to fall apart.
"Fairy, hurry up. If you continue to procrastinate, I will be fooled."
“This is natural.”
Fairy Qingluan had already had enough fun at this time, so she told Xu Wei not to play with his sword anymore.
"It's indeed Xiaoshan sword technique, like white paper splashing ink, freehand and freehand. We believe it now, but how can you six major sects steal things from the Donglin Temple?"
"It's so good for seniors to know..." Xu Wei was playing swords just now, and he really had the style of a famous family. His face was not blushing or breathing. Now he saw the opportunity. As long as he could get along with these two seniors, he could replace the status of the old guy Feng Datong. So he talked about the current situation in detail. Naturally, he couldn't say that he was quarreling about the secret book of Donglin Temple.
It was just said that Donglin Temple had been destroyed and these things became ownerless things. They were talking about how to deal with them properly.
However, the senior said, "You guys, do you know if you did something wrong?"
"Please give me instructions." Xu Wei was very polite.
At this time, Liu Lirong also came over, "I will help everyone listen to the senior."
Liu Lirong and Xu Wei looked at each other and exchanged thoughts.
"Haha..." But the village girl laughed and said, "There are some mistakes, but you are still unaware of them. You said before that all the monks in Donglin Temple were killed, but this is a big mistake! Look, this monk is the Buer-Jen Master of Donglin Temple. Yesterday, the demon demon attacked him. Although he was seriously injured, he escaped by chance."
As he said that, he pushed the monk forward, and the monk said tremblingly, "Little monk Buer, he is under the seat of Master Jie Chen of Donglin Temple..."
But before he finished speaking, the village girl took her back and heard her say, "He is the only living monk in Donglin Temple. Then the things from Donglin Temple should naturally be his, right?"
Chapter completed!
