One Punch Monk

Chapter 12 The Shock of Zen Master Three Burial

There are many unexpected things in the world.

such as,

You thought I would give an example.

Well, at least for the old monk Sanzhu Zen Master in Xixing Temple, he was in an "unexpected" state all day today.

This kind of unexpectedness is no less than that of the legendary Buddhist learner who went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships and finally saw the Buddha, and a blood streak suddenly appeared on the Buddha's head.

Or when worshiping the Bodhisattva, I saw Miaoyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform, waving his flower hands and flying away with the lotus platform like a helicopter.

Normally speaking, Chan Master San Zan, who has a very rich life experience, seldom surprises him in his life, and he is regular and healthy every day.

Get up on time at [-] o'clock in the morning, wash, take a walk, have morning classes, and then eat.

If no pilgrims came to the door, he would spread out a scroll of scriptures under the bodhi tree, let the breeze blow by, and the pages of the book would "squeak" and dance with the wind.

On the table, there is a volume of scriptures, a set of tea sets, a small stone monkey, that's all.

This morning, the old monk did the same.

He brewed a pot of wolfberry tea soup for himself under the tree, without adding sugar and vinegar, only a teaspoon of salt.

The tea soup is being boiled in a "gulu gulu" manner, and smoke rises from the tea.

A strong fragrance spread in the room, making people want to taste it.

Take a sip, slightly burn your lips, and the tea slides down your throat into your stomach. After entering your stomach, the aftertaste is long, and a sense of comfort floods your whole body.

"It's a pity that there are not many good teas brought back from Xiliang women's country."

Zen Master San Zan couldn't help but sighed, and then drank the remaining tea in the cup, with a contented smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Amitabha!"

At this moment, a burst of clear Buddha's name suddenly sounded.

Zen Master San Zhan raised his head suspiciously, and looked in the direction of the sound.

That is the meditation room of the little apprentice.

At this time, the meditation room was enveloped by a burst of golden light, and immediately began to produce countless visions.

The golden petals are slowly falling from the sky, and they look extraordinarily beautiful under the sunlight.

Zen Master San Zan stood up and looked towards the Zen room, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But the vision was not over yet, and immediately after, golden lotus flowers began to emerge from the ground.

These lotus flowers did not fall, but floated in the air, circling the meditation room continuously.

A strange fragrance floats from the lotus, which is refreshing.

"This?"

The sky is chaotic, and the ground is full of golden lotuses.

This kind of abnormality is usually only seen when high-level practitioners suddenly realize and break through the realm.

Generally speaking, this kind of vision is often encountered but not sought after, and even the ultimate genius may not necessarily encounter it once in a lifetime.

Because the epiphany of low-level practitioners will not trigger the vision of heaven and earth, and it is difficult for high-level practitioners with sufficient strength to break through through "epiphany". It can only be accumulated over time.

When the golden lotus fell, the lotus pod broke open, and round lotus seeds flew out of it, falling into the monk's robe and disappearing, while those golden petals spread and dissipated on the ground.

Everything is so perfect.

After many years of practice, Chan Master San Zan's state of mind became extremely clear. After watching the vision, he calmed down and sat back under the bodhi tree.

Just an epiphany, no big deal.

After a while, Shen Budu walked out of the meditation room.

"Master, I have an epiphany."

"Ah."

Zen Master Sanzhe looked calm, took a sip of tea, and said without raising his head: "Apprentice, you are a person with a Buddha's heart, and it is not unusual for you to have sudden enlightenment. Of course, you still have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity." , don’t be complacent, whether it’s life or practice, you still have a long way to go.”

Shen Budu bowed deeply, and said, "I understand."

"Tell me, where did you get an epiphany?"

"I have some insight into the first form of Tathagata Fist."

"Oh, very good, before the comprehension has completely dissipated, go back and try to re-understand the state at that time."

"Yes!"

Shen Budu returned to the meditation room, and Zen Master Sanzan poured water on the little stone monkey.

After a while, the golden light rose again.

The sky is chaotic, and the ground is full of golden lotuses.

Everything is so dreamy and beautiful.

At this time, a gratified smile appeared on the face of Zen Master San Zan.

"This child really has the roots of wisdom! It's worth the effort of the old monk to cultivate him."

After finishing speaking, he put down the teapot, closed his eyes and meditated, with a leisurely look, as if he didn't care about anything.

He didn't intend to let his apprentice see that he was indeed a little bit surprised.

After a while, Chan Master San Zan opened his eyes.

The flowers beside the meditation room are still blooming, and there are two blooms.

The old flowers are not withered, and the new flowers are in full bloom.

"Hey, this kid actually entered the epiphany again? There are three epiphanies a day, and there is such a thing in the world?"

Zen Master Sanzhu muttered to himself.

After a while, the smallpox fell wildly again, and springs gushed out of the ground again.

Calm.

The smallpox falls again, and the underground springs again.

Calm.

The smallpox fell again and again, and the underground springs gushed again.

After the same vision appeared countless times,
Zen Master San Zan couldn't calm down anymore.

He fixedly looked at the meditation room, and there was a verse in front of the meditation room.

"When I resigned from my teacher when I was young, I have to pay back my beard.

Go west for [-] miles, and look back to see Lingshan. "

Recalling the long experience of this life, Zen Master San Zang began to have doubts.
In the following time, the smallpox kept falling, and the golden lotus kept gushing.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Shen Budu came out refreshed.

"Apprentice, how many times have you had an epiphany today?"

Shen Budu scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"Just finished No. 60 times. I realized the 42 moves of Rulai Shenquan and the [-] chapters of the "Jinjing". Yes, there's nothing left to epiphany."

People say no?
"Master, what's wrong with you? Master!"

"It's okay. I want to be quiet for the teacher."

Zen Master Sanzhu's blood pressure was a little bit high. He supported the bodhi tree and sat on the ground slowly, ignoring the dirt and ants on the ground.

Master, what's wrong?Shen Budu was a little strange.

You know, for Zen Master Sanbu at the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, letting him sit in a position he is not used to should be very resistant to this uncomfortable feeling, which is even more uncomfortable for him than ants crawling on his body.

Looking at Zen Master Sanbuan in front of him, Shen Budu thought for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master, are you okay, you look out of your mind."

Zen Master San Zan sat under the bodhi tree, clasped his hands, and moved his lips slightly.

"Greed is the realm of desire, hatred is the realm of form, and ignorance is the realm of formlessness. If one thought arises, one enters the three realms; one thought ceases, one exits the three realms. This is the knowledge of the birth and death of the three realms, and the existence or non-existence of all dharmas, all come from one mind."

Could it be that the master also had an epiphany?

In this world, Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, but at the same time, it also requires monks to have a broad mind, emphasizing benevolence, emphasizing tolerance, and emphasizing reconciliation.

Yes, it seems that Master has reconciled with himself.

As expected of a master!
Shen Budu retreated to his meditation room full of awe.

Under the Bodhi tree, after a long time, Zen Master Sanzhu got up, patted his cassock and sat down on his seat.

The tea on the desk was already cold, he poured the tea from the teapot on the little stone monkey and sighed in a daze.

"Look at your little brother, if you were a hozen back then"

The little stone monkey was silent.

Thinking of the past, Zen Master San Zan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Forget it, drink more cold water."
