Chapter 510 Little White Dragon Brought a Group of Monks Down the Mountain
He Huan said with a smile: "The World Honored One has traveled all his life, and he has no fixed place to live. Xuanzang traveled west and brought Mahayana Buddhism to our country. The old monk Xuyun traveled tens of thousands, revitalized the six ancestral courts, and set up ashrams without a place to live."

He Huan turned his head to look at Chengkong, "I never taught Chengkong to go down the mountain, but I appreciate his decision. If you don't enter the world of mortals, how can you see through the world of mortals? Focus on practicing Buddhism, and keep your ears and ears out of other things. , is also a kind of ego. It is not conducive to practice."

The host smiled and nodded, "But now it's not easy to be a monk. You can still get offerings while sitting in the temple and waiting for believers to come to your door. Going out to beg for alms is easy to be regarded as a liar. Not every temple is willing to place orders from foreign monks. "

Seeing the host being so straightforward, He Huan said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't know the way yet, I will still be a tour guide. Cheng Kong is knowledgeable and talented, and he should combine knowledge and action. Who can he save by reading the scriptures? What can he realize? ?
Although not many worship the Three Jewels now, this world is much safer than that of the old monk Xuyun.There are fewer people who believe in Buddha and respected monks, and it is not just because of sentient beings. Don't monks have any responsibility? "

The host looked at him with burning eyes.

Cheng Kong turned to look at him, admiring him.

"In the age of the Dharma, truly virtuous monks are needed to influence all living beings. Isn't this exactly the Tetra Pak sentient being written at the entrance of the Jinding Temple?
If you want to be Buddhas, dragons and elephants, you must first be cattle and horses.Isn't this the fundamental essence of Mahayana Buddhism: only by saving all sentient beings can one finally become a Buddha?

Sitting in a meditation room deep in the mountains, waiting for all living beings to make offerings, this is not called forming ties to all living beings. If there is no karma, there will be no way, and if there is no way, there will be no respect. "

The host looked at him without blinking, Cheng Kong's eyes brightened, he was happy, and determined to be a great virtuous monk in the age of the end of the Dharma!

The host asked again: "Before the old monk Xuyun passed away, he left a word: Jie. How can the benefactor explain it?"

"Old monk Xuyun doesn't believe that you can avoid being confused by this fast-growing world, so I have to teach you a stupid method, quit.

But he himself was enshrined by the emperor's relatives, respected by military and political celebrities, and he was beaten all over his body. He came from prosperity and hardship, insisted on hard work, and remained the same.

He has truly achieved that riches and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued, so he has become a great virtuous monk. How many people can do it? "

The host watched him for a long time, and Chengkong looked at him with a happy face.

He Huan also looked at him with a smile, "When the World Honored One had few disciples, everyone practiced sincerely and did not set any precepts. When there were more disciples, precepts appeared. Precepts are originally for ordinary monks.

Like the law, it is the last bottom line for the world.But to be a good person, you also need morality.To be a saint, you need great wisdom, great benevolence and great virtue.

With one light of the heart lamp, one can see the world of light, so there is no need for precepts.When the breeze blows, the fire in the heart flickers, and even the flames are blazing wildly, only the lampshade is needed.

Precepts are just the bottom line for a monk. "

The Lord looked at him for a long time, and Chengkong smiled admiringly.

He Huan looked at him, "Following the difficulties, Chengkong stepped out of the mountain gate, and his achievements are immeasurable."

Cheng Kong bowed to him, and then to the host, "Senior host, I'm going down the mountain."

The host nodded thoughtfully.

The three turned and left.

The host also turned around and looked at their backs.

At Chengkong's request, the three of them got down from behind.Passing by the Sheshen Cliff full of prayer flags, a section of ladder that is sandwiched in the rock and only allows one person to pass through is dug out of the cliff.

At this time, the clouds and mist have not dissipated, and they are rolling in the mountains.There is really a feeling from the outside world to the world.

Cheng Kong walked in front, and He Huan pulled Long Teng and walked carefully behind, "Shushen Gorge, according to legend, was repaired by Venerable Kasyapa when he opened the mountain. When going down the mountain, you can only squeeze sideways, in order to remind believers to restrain themselves and do good deeds to benefit life."

Looking at Chengkong in front of him, Long Teng understood why he chose to go this way.

Walk through the narrow and steep Shushen Gorge to Huashou Gate.I also saw the lama I met yesterday when I went up the mountain, and finally arrived in front of the Buddha.A monk going down the mountain and a monk going up the mountain put his bag on the ground, threw himself on the ground and kowtowed.

Leaving the Huashou Gate, the Bronze Buddha Hall will not enter, and go straight to the Kasyapa Hall.He Huan still walked slowly while pulling Long Teng.Although it is faster to go down the mountain, if it is too fast, the legs will not be able to bear it.

When I arrived at the gate of the Kasyapa Hall, I saw Master Yingkong standing in the clouds and mist, twisting Buddhist beads.

He Huan laughed, the monk was indeed waiting for him!

"Amitabha, the donor has come."

He Huan looked at Cheng Kong with a smile, "Not only am I here, I also brought you someone!"

Cheng Kong greeted: "Senior brother Yingkong, I'm going down the mountain to travel, and I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Ah?" Yingkong was slightly surprised, then looked at He Huan again, and was no longer surprised, and said with a smile, "Please come in and have some snacks, benefactor."

From hearing him talk about Xu Xiake's comments on monks, this monk has become more and more polite!He Huan said with a smile: "I won't sit anymore. I was too tired when I went up the mountain. I haven't visited several temples. I'm going to visit the Fangguang Temple nearby."

"I'll go with you." Yingkong walked down the steps.

He Huan and Cheng Kong were very happy, and they talked and laughed as they walked towards the Fangguang Temple directly below the Huashou Gate.

Standing in front of the cloud-shrouded mountain gate in the woods, looking up, the Huashou Gate is looming.

The building of Fangguang Temple is not like other temples enclosing one body. It is very regular with several layers and several steps.Here it follows the mountain and faces the forest. The mountain gate is independent in the forest, and there is no wall. It is more like a memorial archway, and you can enter from the side.

He Huan looked at the two monks, "Take a look, two masters, is there a door or no door here?"

Yingkong smiled and said: "If you go in, there is a door, if you come out, there is no door."

He Huan said: "Nowadays, many temples are built like palaces, with high walls and deep courtyards, isolated from the world. I think Fangguang Temple has a gate, but it seems to have no gate. Standing in the secular world, it is quite artistic."

Walking into the mountain gate, passing the crescent-like release pool, there is a house in the east and a temple in the west in the misty forest, which is very casual and harmonious.

In terms of artistic conception alone, except for the residence by the river that has not yet been built, He Huan thinks that Fangguang Temple is really unique and likes it very much.

Long Teng is also very cozy, which doesn't even look like a temple.If there is no name inscribed on the plausible mountain gate in front, most tourists may think that this is a park.

Finally, seeing the vermilion hall hidden in the woods, it showed the majesty of Buddhism.Finally saw the monk.

Seeing the two monks Yingkong and Chengkong coming in accompanied by two young benefactors, the monks who held incense in front of the temple were also a little surprised, thinking they were some big shots.Quickly come over to say hello.

After listening to the introduction, he was neither a big shot nor a layman, so he was very puzzled.

However, when He Huan talked about the history of Fangguang Temple, the monks smiled and understood.

"Everyone knows that Jizu Mountain has a wonderful scene, which shines light once every 600 years. The place where the light shines is the Fangguang Temple. The Fangguang Temple is located in the hinterland of Jizu Mountain, under the Huashou Gate. Because of the light, it became the Jizu One of the top ten ancient temples in the mountain.

Kasyapa Hall, Bronze Buddha Hall, Fangguang Temple, Huashou Gate, the unique geographical location of these four ancient temples form a magical landscape.This is the famous saying: Kasyapa lights the lamp, and the flower head shines. "

He Huan is very familiar with the history of the temple and the eminent monks of all dynasties.After entering the main hall, you will know the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas enshrined and the historical and cultural allusions of Buddhism well.

The three monks were all smiles.

So when he came out of Fangguang Temple, there was another monk behind him.Miss Long became the only girl.

Fortunately, surrounded by three monks, He Huan held her hand in fear that she would fall behind.Monks are not surprised either.

Next to Huideng Nunnery, because He Huan said that there are still a few temples on the sightseeing bus route, and the three monks also accompanied him on the sightseeing bus.Go buy a ticket first.

The conductor took a look, "Little Bailong! You don't need any money."

"And her." He Huan pulled Long Teng.

"Visitor?"

"My girlfriend."

"Ah?" The conductor looked at Long Teng again, and Long Teng lowered his head with a blushing face.The conductor came back to his senses, "There is no need for money."

He Huan stepped aside again, "There are still them."

The conductor looked at several monks. Scenic spots and temples are in charge of each. Monks generally do not take sightseeing cars and cable cars.Either own car or walk or give money.You are a monk and you are not here to enjoy it. Does it take up resources?
But now looking at the monks behind Xiao Bailong, the conductor was stunned, hesitantly said: "Let me ask for instructions."

He Huan waited with a smile, and the conductor immediately called: "Xiao Bailong brought three monks down the mountain, and he wants to take a sightseeing bus. Should I charge or not?"

"what!"

He Huan heard the tremor.

Smiling as she hung up the phone, she stood up and said, "No need, little Bailong. When do you have time? Our leader wants to treat you to dinner."

"I don't have time." He Huan said, turned around and led the monks away.

The conductor covered his face, what the hell!Please don't have time to eat, but have time to play with the monk in the car!

Yingkong looked at him, "The benefactor is very discerning!"

He Huan was speechless, and also smiled: "Yes, there are many people who invite me to dinner, so they have to line up, right?"

So Fan!Several monks laughed.

The female bodyguard waited for them to come out in the morning but couldn't wait, and the cloud and mist could not see the road and people below clearly, so she had to take the cable car down first to guard.It can be regarded as waiting for them.

Unexpectedly, they were accompanied by a group of monks!They are still holding hands!
What kind of Buddhist pure land is this!Can this be tolerated?Is this a decent monk?
Can you be a good monk if you associate with a sea king like Xiaobailong?Really lived up to the reputation of Jizu Mountain!
The female bodyguard hurriedly called the boss: "Xiao Bailong and Miss Long have gone down the mountain, bringing a group of monks with them."

"Ah!" There was another tremor.

But He Huan didn't hear it. He took a few monks to the sightseeing bus, and He Huan remembered that he didn't get free tickets!He could only rely on his face, and explained to the driver: "We..."

Before finishing speaking, the driver nodded blankly, "I see, please get in the car."

The driver of the sightseeing bus and other tourists all stared blankly at them. Xiao Bailong took a few monks with him, what is this for?

Several people remained silent, admiring the surrounding scenery.When Yingkong mentioned Huayan Temple, He Huan asked the driver to stop and took the monks down.

The driver and tourists stared blankly at them as they walked into the forest. What is this for?So mysterious!So curious!

"Huayan Temple was founded by Nanjing monk Yuetan, so it is also called Nanjing Nunnery. In the Ming Dynasty, Jizushan monks mainly came from Shaanxi, the capital, and Nanjing. Temples are often named after the monks.

Shaanxi is represented by Ming Kong, and the capital is represented by Huan Kong. After the establishment of Nanjing Nunnery in Jiajing Nianyuetan, the moon wheel in Wanli was expanded and became Jizushan Temple.

Later, it was destroyed by fire, and there were no descendants after Yuelun, until Yechi, Yuelun's apprentice, rebuilt it.When Xu Xiake came to visit, Yechi was over [-] years old. He heard that he was editing "Jizu Mountain Chronicles", so he lent him "Qingliang Tongzhuan". "

Walking through the forest to the ruins of Huayan Temple, the friendship of donating books 300 years ago is no longer there. There are only fallen leaves and moss buried in bricks and soil, covered with frost and snow.

Everyone stopped.

He Huan sighed: "At the end, Qianfeng looks cold. Come here, just smile. This is the couplet of Huayan Temple at that time. Look."

Everyone turned their heads and looked around, the couplet was not there, but the scenery written in the couplet was there.

"A speck of dust reflects the world, and eternity is contained in a moment." He Huan took Long Teng's hand and stepped on the thick fallen leaves, "With the person I like, every plant and tree are lively and lovely, and a lifetime is just a blink of an eye." .If you face someone you don’t like, all you see are troubles, and your days feel like years.”

The monks looked at him, could they still understand this?Look at the hand he was holding again, oh, he can understand it this way.

"This sentence comes from the "Huayan Sutra", which is one of the Buddhist classics. It is the scriptures taught by Sakyamuni Buddha to all Bodhisattvas. in the Huayan Sutra."

The monks were moved and wandered among the broken walls. The big trees collapsed on the broken walls, and the thick fallen leaves and dust buried the outlines, and the original grand occasion was no longer there.

"All the dust in the Huayan world, you can see the Dharma Realm in each dust." He Huan said, "Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, once asked Zen Master Zhichang:

It is said in the Vimalakirti Sutra that "mustard seeds are stored in mustard seeds, and mustard seeds are stored in mustard seeds." You monks really have no common sense!Mustard seeds mustard mustard can be understood, how can a small mustard seed accommodate a Mount Sumeru?
Zen Master Zhichang turned to Li Bo: Everyone says that you have broken thousands of books in reading, is it true?Li Bo replied: Of course!
Zen Master Zhichang said: Where are the books you read?Li Bo pointed to his head: Of course it is here.

Zen Master Zhichang said: I think your head is only as big as a coconut, how can it hold ten thousand volumes of books?Li Bo was completely enlightened at that time. "

Several monks also laughed.

He Huan said with a smile: "Monks, monks, at first the relationship between monks and lay people was only offering and saving, but they were still exporting and accepting in thought.

Then there is a rich man in India, Vimalakirti, who understands Buddhist principles very well, is good at debating, and is deeply respected by the World Honored One.Enjoying all the glory, having a wife and children, but he is a lay Bodhisattva.

It is the idol of Wang Wei, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty.So Wang Wei, whose name is Mojie, directly used the idol's name.What Vimalakirti said at that time was compiled into the Vimalakirti Sutra.

Because this lay Bodhisattva always said some easy-to-understand and profound Buddhist sayings, it opened the atmosphere of practicing at home, and also opened the era of debates and exchanges between literati and monks. "

Several monks looked at him with smiles.

"Each sect of Buddhism has one or two classics, one flower is one world, one leaf is one bodhi, and the flowers and leaves are connected. Therefore, many theories of each sect complement each other and prove each other."

Several monks nodded.

"Buddhism often uses the sumeru as a metaphor for the great, and the mustard seed for the very small. This world is composed of many small things, and even though it is small, it forms a world by itself. Therefore, there are also dialectical materialism in Buddhist scriptures."

Cheng Kong looked at the old site that had been covered by forests, and silently said: "Yuanxin, Yuanjie, Yuanxing, Yuanzheng." The belief in the proof of actions is more firm.

"Just like a lotus flower without water, like the sun and moon without space." He Huan turned around, "Let's go."
