My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

【Ding! -500 payment successful! 】

The intelligent abbot smiled, and proclaimed the Buddha's name again.

"Benefactor Meng is still so generous!"

"Grandmaster, I'm overwhelmed, but this Daxiong Palace seems to be more magnificent than the last time I came here."

Meng Lang looked at the bright yellow new futon and the shining Buddha III in front of him.

"Hehe! Thanks to you, our temple has been repaired a little before. Donor Meng does not want people to know about his kindness, and he does not ask for rewards for giving. It is really an immeasurable merit and kindness!"

What Master Zhizhi was referring to was naturally the previous "Human Trafficking Gang Case". At that time, Meng Lang didn't want a cent of the reward from the police, and it was all donated to Nanshan Temple.

Lin Haitang at the side was a little puzzled.

Do you want to be known for being good?Giving without expecting anything in return?
What did he do in this Nanshan Temple?
Seeing that the abbot is warmly accompanying him all the way, he can catch up with the high-level VIP among the pilgrims...

"I don't know if the benefactor is here today to ask for a lottery or to fulfill his wish?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Haitang with a smile.

Begging for a former single dog, begging for a loving dog... Could it be that the marriage lottery from before came true?

But... the last time someone asked for a lottery, it seemed?

"Cough! Although your temple's lottery is indeed very effective, but I'm not here today to ask for a lottery, I'm here to find Master Zhizhi."

"Looking for me?" Smart Master was taken aback for a moment.

"En!" Meng Lang nodded, and looked at Master Zhizhi seriously in front of him. "I heard that Master's Buddhism is profound, and I have some doubts in my heart. I hope to get Master's guidance."

"Huh?" Smart Master suddenly looked surprised.

"Have you heard? Where did Benefactor Meng hear about it? The poor monk is just a small abbot of Nanshan Temple, and he doesn't dare to take the word "high and profound Buddhism."

"Hehe!" Meng Lang showed a see-through smile.

"Master is too modest, the great virtuous monk of Longquan Temple, the master of preaching scriptures at the Water and Land Dharma Association in the capital, why don't you dare to be the word "high and profound Buddhism?"

Smart looked astonished.

Just as stunned as he was, there was Lin Haitang beside him.

This Nanshan Temple is located in a remote place, and it looks inconspicuous. For a long time, I haven't even seen a pilgrim. I didn't expect the abbot, the old monk, to have such a big background?
Although it was unbelievable, she had no doubts about Meng Lang's intelligence ability.

"How did Benefactor Meng know that?" Zhi Zhi didn't deny it, but asked curiously.

"Of course I found out by fate." Meng Lang replied with a smile.

"Fate?"

Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, "Yes! I do have a predestined relationship with the benefactor!"

"Since Master is an eminent monk in the capital, why did he come here?" Lin Haitang asked curiously.

"Hehe! Being too deeply involved in the world will hinder one's cultivation, so it's better for this little Nanshan Temple to be clean."

These years, some well-known temples have an endless stream of pilgrims, and there are almost no monks in them who are not stinky.

Where monks in this environment are going to practice, they are just to provoke the world of mortals.

Belief has gradually turned into business. There are fewer and fewer monks doing practice, but more and more monks doing business...

"Master doesn't care about fame and fortune, which is admirable!" Meng Lang laughed.

"Fame and wealth are but fleeting clouds that cover people's eyes. It is better to have a pure mind and be at ease in everything!"

Zhizhi clasped his palms together, and his smile was like the breeze and bright moon, where there was the little expression of the philistine just now.

Meng Lang's eyes lit up.

"To tell you the truth, master, I came here to find the method of how to be pure and free!"

"Oh?" Smart looked surprised.

"What kind of freedom method does Meng Benefactor want to learn?"

"Nature is the freedom of becoming a Buddha!"

Smart smiled. "Then what is 'Buddha' in the mind of Benefactor Meng?"

"The former Buddha and the later Buddha only talk about their minds. The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind. There is no Buddha outside the heart, and there is no heart outside the Buddha."

Xue Huaiyi's scriptures believe that only when the mind is clear and the mind has no external objects can it be consistent and the impact of the countless "selfs" in the book on the "self" can be minimized.

So what color is the original self, and the rest of the self is also the same color.

Then naturally "I" has always been "I"!
"Huh? I didn't expect Meng Benefactor to dabble in the philosophy of mind of our Consciousness-only School of Buddhism?

Can the benefactor know, what is "Buddha has no heart"? "

The surprise on Smart's face has turned into surprise.

"Well... the Buddha finds the true self. There is no heart outside the Buddha. It is to stick to the original heart. There is no other Buddha except me.

I was about to ask the master, how to 'have no heart outside the Buddha'? " Meng Lang asked.

"Aside from this mind, there is ultimately no other Buddha to be attained, and there is no place to seek Bodhi and Nirvana apart from this mind.

If you want to find the Buddha, you must see your nature.

Nature is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the free man, who has nothing to do and nothing to do.

If seeing the nature is the Buddha, and not seeing the nature is the sentient beings..." Wisdom replied.

"I am still a sentient being, how can I see my nature?"

"The reason why we are sentient beings is that our Buddha-nature is covered by deluded thoughts and attachments. If we can extinguish our delusional thoughts and attachments, the Buddha-nature will naturally appear.

All the evil karma I have done in the past were all born of beginningless greed, hatred and ignorance, born of body, speech and mind, and I now repent of everything..."

"Repentance can get 'Buddha has no heart'?"

"Naturally not, human beings have eight consciousnesses, eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, consciousness six body consciousnesses, and even 'mana consciousness' and 'alaya consciousness'.

The outer heart of the Buddha is the seventh consciousness 'Mana Consciousness', which is always associated with the four afflictions of self-ignorance, self-seeing, self-arrogance and self-love.

Its nature is 'covered but not recorded', it does not lead to different ripe fruits, but it can cover the holy way and cover the mind!
This consciousness is the root of self-attachment. If you are obsessed with delusions, you will create all kinds of evil karma.

Only by eradicating the four afflictions, fully realizing the truth of the two emptiness of man and law, and realizing the eighth fundamental consciousness 'Alaya Consciousness', can one be able to 'Buddha has no heart'. "

"However, there is no self in all dharmas. Since beginningless time, the mana consciousness has held the alaya consciousness as the self all the time, and reincarnated with the alaya consciousness at the same time, circulating life and death.

Since mana consciousness is also in samsara, how can it not overturn the holy way and not cover up the mind? "

"Depending on the six consciousnesses to be pure and clean, and the six consciousnesses to be dyed and dyed, the 'mana consciousness' is divided into good and bad, but the 'alaya consciousness' is the most stupid.

'Alaya Consciousness' is the fundamental consciousness, and the first seven consciousnesses are all transferred by the eighth consciousness, Alaya Consciousness.

This is 'Alaya Dependent Origination'..."

Above the main hall, under the third Buddha, there are one old and one young.

Deep and friendly discussions on who am I? How did I get here? Am I really me?

Lin Haitang on the side was already dumbfounded.

At the beginning, I could understand a sentence or two, but then I became a Muggle directly.

This guy Meng Lang...is he really studying Buddhism?
What level of "can't figure it out" needs this level of "dispelling confusion"?
And...it's only been a few days?Will you be able to fight for [-] rounds with the master lecturer from the capital?

Is this science?

Even if the end of science is theology, this is too amazing...

Eh wait!According to his posture of studying hard...

What I said earlier about "escape into Buddhism"...could it be serious?
Lin Haitang looked at Meng Lang with a serious face, as if he was studying some life-and-death problem of the century, and began to realize the seriousness of the problem...

I've seen people who couldn't commit suicide because of love, but I haven't seen people who couldn't leave home because of love...

Her heart was in a mess, and Meng Lang's voice of "studying Buddhism" rang in her ears, which made her even more upset.

Seeing the two of them chatting and chatting, they actually sat on the futon, looking like they met each other and had a long talk, and it seemed that the discussion could not be finished for a while.

Lin Haitang had no choice but to walk out of the Daxiong Hall lightly.

Some wandered around aimlessly, watching the scenery in the temple boredly, and suddenly saw futons and sticks placed in a side hall in front of them.

Hmm... just now I heard from Meng Lang that the lottery requested by this temple seems to be very effective...

I don't know what kind of mentality it is, but by accident, I walked in slowly...

"Crack!" "Crack!"

Lin Haitang stood up and picked up the fallen bamboo stick.

Then, according to the numbers above, I found the corresponding signature...

"Gaze at the eyes five hundred times in the previous life, and rub shoulders once in this life.

Only a hundred generations can cross in the same boat, and a thousand generations can sleep together..."

……

The sun is gradually setting to the west.

Inside the Daxiong Palace, Meng Lang's frown had been relaxed.

Sure enough, building a car behind closed doors is not a good thing, it is extraordinary to have an eminent monk beside you to give advice, and the experience value is going up steadily!

Many obscure and difficult questions in the scriptures were immediately cleared up.

The eminent monk that the brothers introduced to me is indeed expected!
His brows were stretched, but the smart master opposite him was down...

Buddha is the past man, man is the future Buddha...

Who is in reincarnation? Why is there life and death in reincarnation?And who is thinking that I am reincarnated?
Originally, I planned to help people explain their confusion, why is my head buzzing now...

Meng Lang was still discussing with him at first, asking for advice.

But the deeper it goes, it brings up some strange worldviews that make people feel specious, deja vu, and seemingly non-existent.

Buddha is the past man, man is the future Buddha...

Master Zhizhi chewed over the words meng lang raised, thinking about the series of weird questions the other party had just asked.

The more you chew, the more wonderful it becomes...

Since the inheritance of Buddhism, almost all the classics have been studied thoroughly. It is so difficult for people today to innovate.

However, although Meng Lang's previous words were not profound, they gave him a sense of novelty, "Huh? Can you still understand this?"

This kind of novelty is enough for an eminent monk like him to think about it for a long time...

"Thank you Master Smart for clarifying my doubts today!"

"Where! I didn't expect Xiaoyou Meng to be so accomplished in Buddhism at such an age. It's really amazing!

I don't know who my little friend studied under? "

In his opinion, since meng lang knew his past and was so proficient in Buddhism, he must be a famous teacher who gave birth to a good disciple.

Maybe he also knew Meng Lang's master.

From "Meng Benefactor" to "Meng Xiaoyou", it is clear that in the eyes of this master, Meng Lang has changed from an outsider to a fellow man with whom he can sit and discuss the Tao...

Who did you learn from?

Meng Lang thought about it.

I said Bodhidharma, Xuanzang and Xue Huaiyi... Mmm!Coupled with the collective wisdom of the brothers, there should be no problem, right?
"Cough! I figured it out when I was free.

I'm a person... who likes to get into a dead end, hehe..."

Figured it out by yourself?

Smart master froze for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"The benefactor is indeed extremely talented!
However, judging from the confusion raised by the little friend just now, the Buddhist path of pursuing "enlightenment of everything is empty" may not be very suitable for the little friend to understand. "

"Hmm..." Meng Lang sighed slightly when he heard the words.

How could he not notice...

After all, I am not a serious monk, and I can achieve the purity of the six senses, not to mention that I am still rolling in the world of mortals, and the life and death are even more terrifying...

What kind of thread of love, thread of worry... three thousand threads may not be able to hold back.

Even the senior Xue Huaiyi, who became a monk halfway, could not avoid "early age cracking". If he, a "lay disciple", wanted to cross the river by feeling the stones, he could only touch the middle of the river...

Even if he has studied this scripture thoroughly by himself, it is probably similar to Nie Feng's recitation of "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not be shocked".

The effect is there, but not much...

"Hehe! If you have the heart, you can go beyond the family's opinion. Why don't you try the Taoist way of 'keeping one'?"

"Daoist?"

"Yes, Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin.

The Buddha entered the Tao through extinction, performed ruthless actions, and stood up after leaving the world.

The Tao is indeed to keep the one, but the one is the heart rather than the thing, and it is the oneness of the heart. If the heart is constant and permanent, one will have eternal life.

Dao follows the heaven and earth and follows nature, and Yin and Yang are all-encompassing and inclusive. Therefore, Lao Tzu said that among the four realms, Dao is the most important.

It is not only Buddhism, but it is called all beings and all dharmas, and it does not take away a word of Tao.

I see little friend's mind, maybe it is more compatible with this Taoism. "

Taoism?
Meng Lang fell into deep thought.

In fact, after Buddhism was introduced to China, it merged with local sects and learned from each other, and it has long been separated from the original birthplace of Buddhism.

Bodhidharma's "Zen" has integrated a lot of traditional Confucianism and Taoism.

In the past few days, Meng Lang studied the "Huayan Sutra", and he did have this feeling...

The self-help route of the "senior" is to learn Buddhism, but the "senior" of the "senior" has always been learning the Tao!
It is said that Comrade Jiang Ziya lived to be 139 years old.

This is definitely an extremely enviable lifespan, but...

The biggest problem is that the age is too long, and there are very few written records left.

Even Xue Huaiyi, an archaeologist who is "after a thousand years", is enough, let alone him, who is "after 2000 years"...

Crossing the river by feeling the stone of an "ancestor" like Jiang Ziya?

Don't talk about stones, you can almost only touch stone chips...

I also want to learn, but the conditions do not allow it!
But when it comes to the same origin of Buddhism and Taoism, in fact, Taoism is the most integrated Zen, especially Zhuangzi's theory, so there is a saying that "Buddha is Tao".

And when it comes to Zhuangzi...it is definitely a mudslide in the clear current of the Warring States cultural circle!

This guy says he is a subjective idealist, but in the final analysis he is from the heart!
However, I have a vicious tongue and a sharp mind, I don't like going to work and I love freedom, and I am very open-minded.

The euphemism is called "A Happy Journey", but in fact, it is just two words - "happy"!
Zhuangzi said: Govern by doing nothing, the nature is sacred!
Because of the sacred nature, Zhuangzi advocated that the highest state in the world is to be free, not to rely on other things, and to be free for a lifetime.

That's why "heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me."

This is the famous Taoist "harmony between man and nature".

It is also because of the sacred nature that Zhuangzi is dissatisfied with the chaotic state of things separated by a hundred schools of thought, especially the scientific spirit of famous scholars who seek the root of the matter.

He believes that there is no limit to learning and life is short, so there is no need to worry about it...

Two words... lie flat!
If this guy is also his "senior"...

Then what he chose is probably to delete the "technical appendix" to reduce the burden on the brain, so that the brothers do not work or study, and the family has a house and a field, and life is boundless...

Hmm... How long has Zhuangzi lived?

It seems to be more than 80?

With the average life expectancy level at that time, this is definitely a birthday star!
This is a way of thinking...

Is this the third way of thinking to solve the self-cracking - happiness is the end?

I am happy, and my brethren are happy, then after "all things are one with me"...

I'm twice as happy?

……

When he walked out of the Daxiong Palace with Master Zhizhi, Meng Lang was still thinking about the "way of happiness" just now, wondering how to be as heartless as Zhuangzi...

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw in the courtyard, a slender beauty holding her fragrant cheeks, staring in a daze under a linden tree.

The beauty is picturesque, the breeze blows, and the sleeves and skirts are fluttering...

what is happiness
Happiness is when you...

happiness is...

Just like...

something like that...

There was silence for a moment.

Meng Lang turned his head seriously and thanked Master Smart.

"Great Master, I also feel that I am not suitable for studying Buddhism..."
