Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 66
Hearing this, Wu Jie was enlightened for a moment, his face turned red and then turned green, and he turned around and said goodbye to the bedroom.Said to the traveler: "Hurry up and cook a bucket of soup with me to take a bath." The traveler quickly boiled the soup and took a bath with the elder.Changed into new clothes, took a Zen chair to the room, held a pen in hand, brushed aside a piece of plain paper, and wrote eight lines of "Ode to the World", saying: "I am 47 years old, and all dharmas are unified. It is only for thoughts Poor, I am in a hurry now. Chuan and Wu monks, why bother to force each other? Illusory body is like thunder and lightning, and the sky is still blue." After writing "Ode to the Death", teach him to burn a burner of incense in front of him.The elder sits on the Zen chair, presses the left foot on the right foot, and the right foot on the left foot, and sits with palms together.

The traveler hurriedly went to report to Zen Master Mingwu.The Zen master was shocked when he heard this, and when he went to the room to look, he saw that Brother Wujie had already sat down and gone.Looking at the "Ode to the World" in front of him, he said: "You are good but you are well. It's a pity that you missed this one. Although you are now a man, you will grow into a man who does not believe in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. You will definitely destroy the Buddha and slander the Sangha. But fell into the sea of ​​misery and couldn’t convert to Buddhism, it’s so painful! What a pity! You say you’re going fast, I’ll drive you away, don’t you believe it!” At that time, he also taught Taoists to cook soup and take a bath, changed his clothes, went to the abbot, and went to Zen meditation. The chair sits cross-legged.All the disciples said: "I'm going to catch up with monk Wujie today. You can fill up the two niches and burn them together for three days."All the monks were shocked that there was such a strange thing!Inside and outside the city, I heard that two Zen masters of this temple sat down on the same day, and they were all surprised. There were countless people, men and women, who came to burn incense and worship.After yelling for three days, they were carried to the Jinniu Temple to be incinerated, and the bones were discarded.

Then Qingyi asked someone to talk about marriage, married Honglian girl to Liu Daizhao, a fan maker, and raised Qingyi at home for the rest of his life.No problem.

And to explain the true nature of one spirit, he went straight to Meishan County, Meizhou, Sichuan, and the five precepts had already been entrusted to be born in a family.This family, surnamed Su, surnamed Xun, styled Mingyun, nicknamed Laoquan Jushi, was a man of poetry and etiquette.The king of the courtyard, a blind monk in Yemeng, walked into the room and was taken aback.Mingdan gave birth to a son, who was born with beautiful features, and both parents were happy.Three full moons, one hundred days and one week.No problem.

But it shows that Wu Yiling was also born in this place. His surname is Xie, his first name is Yuan, and his courtesy name is Daoqing.His wife, Zhang Shi, also dreamed of being an arhat, holding a seal, and came to the house to copy it.Awakened because of a shock, and gave birth to a son.Elderly, named Xie Ruiqing.Since childhood, he has never eaten meat or alcohol, and only loves to become a monk.Parents are the family of eunuchs, how can they agree?Reluctantly send him to study in school.Talented and intelligent, with a photographic memory, reciting poems and composing Fu, all of them are outstanding.What I like to read are the classics and internal classics, which can be understood at a glance.Whatever you say, an eminent monk, is not as good as him.It's a pity that he is full of knowledge and disdains to apply for an official; but when he talks about fame and fame, he laughs and doesn't answer.This is not a problem.

But Su Laoquan's child, who is seven years older, was taught to read and write. He is very smart and can read five-element script.When I was ten years old, I knew everything about the Five Classics and Three History.Named Su Shi, styled Zizhan.This person's articles are world-class, and he has a pen and a pen. He has been close to Xie Ruiqing's classmates since childhood, but they have different interests.That Dongpo wanted to be famous, but he didn't believe in Buddhism. The most annoyed was the monk, who often said: "Not bald, not poisonous, not poisonous, not bald; turn poisonous, turn bald, turn bald, turn poisonous. If I manage the soldiers and civilians once, I will definitely die." Exterminate these monks, and I will fulfill my wish." Seeing that Xie Ruiqing didn't use meat and wine, he laughed and said, "Wine and meat are things for health. If you don't kill or eat meat, sheep, hogs, chickens, and geese fill the streets and alleys. People have nowhere to live. What's more, wine is made of rice, and it doesn't kill your life, so why would it hurt you?" Every time the two met, Ruiqing would persuade Zizhan to learn Buddhism, and Zizhan would persuade Ruiqing to become an official.Ruiqing said: "it's nothing for you to be an official; it's better to study Buddhism, and you will have three lives." Zizhan said: "you study Buddhism, which is a shadowless talk; it's better to be an official, it's a real career." Discuss all day long. , each does not win.

Emperor Renzong Jiayou changed the Yuan Dynasty, Zizhan went to Tokyo to apply for the election, and asked Xie Ruiqing to go with him, but Ruiqing refused.Zizhan became famous in one fell swoop, the imperial pen was removed from the Imperial Academy, he was dressed in rich clothes and fine food, and he was embraced by the front and back. He was very rich!Missing my friend Xie Ruiqing who refused to become an official, "I will take him to Tokyo today. Seeing that I am so rich, he must be motivated by fame." So he wrote a letter and sent someone to Meishan County to meet Xie Ruiqing.Xie Ruiqing was also afraid that once Zizhan became rich, he would slander the Buddha and destroy the monks, and wanted to persuade him to change his mind, so he sent someone to Tokyo to meet Zizhan.The two talked all day long, but they still insisted on their own opinions and were on par.

You say that things happen by chance, and things happen by chance.It happened to be a severe drought in Tokyo, and the red land was thousands of miles away.Emperor Renzong issued a decree to build a seven-day Huangluo Dajiao in the inner court to pray for rain for all people.Renzong personally made incense twice a day, and all the officials were dressed in plain clothes and ran around as deacons.The Hanlin official was in charge of writing Qingci, and Zizhan was ordered to compile and write, and asked La Ruiqing to go with him to watch the victory together.Ruiqing didn't want to do it, Zizhan said: "You used to like Buddhist things the most. Today, the imperial court invited 36 famous monks to build a prayer hall, chant scriptures and set up a sacrifice. You don't go to rejoice, but you don't feel discouraged?" Ruiqing He said: "the imperial court set up a funeral ceremony, although the rituals are beautiful, they are all set, so what kind of eminent monks talk about the scriptures to make people listen?" It seems that Zizhan's fate should come, and opportunities will naturally arise.That day, Zhan decided to go with Ruiqing as his companion, but Ruiqing couldn't resist him, so he had to obey.When the two arrived at the Buddhist temple, Zizhan served with the class, Ruiqing dressed up as a Taoist, and went to watch the rituals.

Suddenly, Emperor Renzong arrived, and all the officials welcomed him in, offering incense and worshiping before the Buddha.Ruiqing took a step forward and took a peek at Shengrong. Renzong Longmu saw that Ruiqing was born with a square face and big ears, and his appearance was outstanding.Renzong asked, "Who is this man?" Su Shi was busy for a while, so he knelt down and said: "This is a new Taoist from Daxiangguo Temple. He has learned the classics for him and offered incense here " Renzong said: "What a good-looking man! Since you have a deep understanding of the classics, I will give you a degree of instruction to become a monk." Xie Ruiqing wanted to become a monk since she was a child.At the moment, thanks for your gratitude, he said: "Since I have been ordained by the Holy Grace, I would like to ask for the imperial name." Emperor Renzong asked the Ministry of Rites for a degree, and the imperial pen judged the word "Buddha seal".Ruiqing received the ultimatum and kowtowed again.When Shengjia retired, Ruiqing wished hair in front of the Buddha in the altar. From then on, he was only called Foyin, not Xie Ruiqing.The monks of the Daxiangguo Temple saw the Buddha's seal and penetrated the Dharma, and they were ordained by the imperial decree. Who would dare to neglect Su Xueshi's fellow countrymen and friends?Everyone called him "Zen Master".No problem.

It is said that Su Zizhan specially brought Xie Ruiqing to Tokyo, hoping to persuade him to become an official, but he took him to the altar of sacrifice, tired him and changed his name to a monk.Xie Ruiqing has always advised Zizhan to learn Buddhism with confidence, but Zizhan refused to follow. Now that Zizhan has made him lose his hair, is it not the number of days, the fate is destined?Although Foyin loved to become a monk, he deliberately complained about Zizhan's many words, but Zizhan was terrified and resigned. He just apologized and dared not say that being a monk was not good.Let Foyin talk about the scriptures, you have to listen to them carefully; if you don't listen to them, Foyin will get angry.After listening to it many times, and gradually getting to know each other, I also feel that the Buddhist scriptures are reasonable, and it is not like the situation where we have always been indifferent.On the first moon day, Foyin ordered Zizhan to go to Xiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha, so Zizhan had to follow him.Zi Zhansu loves to talk about Foyin, and when he has nothing to do in daily life, he goes to the temple to chat with Foyin, or recite poems in rhyme.Foyin didn't move meat and wine, and Zizhan followed suit, turning a scholar Su who slandered monks and Buddha into Su Zizhan who protected the Dharma and respected the monks.Foyin took the opportunity to persuade Zizhan to abandon his official position and practice, and Zizhan said: "When I become famous as an official, I will build a house and temple east, and live with my master." Therefore, he is nicknamed Dongpo layman, and everyone is called Su Dongpo.Su Dongpo stayed in Hanlin for several years, and when Emperor Shenzong Xining changed the Yuan Dynasty, he was sent to know the tribute, and in the question he ridiculed Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty.In front of the emperor, An Shi blamed him for his frivolous talents and was not suitable for the history museum, so he was appointed as the general judge in Hangzhou.Farewell to Foyin, and went to Hangzhou to take up his post.One day, when I was sitting idle in the mansion, I suddenly saw a door official report: "There is a monk who said that he is the abbot of Lingyin Temple here, and he wants to see the scholar Xianggong."

When Foyin saw and asked, he borrowed paper, pen and ink from the gatekeeper, and wrote four characters and sent it to the mansion.Dongpo looked at its four characters: "The poet monk pays a visit." Dongpo took a pen to criticize a sentence: "How dare the poet monk visit the prince?"The monk wrote another four lines of poems: "The sea is still full of dragons and dragons, and the high mountains may be visited by phoenix emperors. Laughing but villains have no measure, 'How dare the poet monk pay homage to princes?'" Dongpo was surprised when he saw this poem and recognized the handwriting. Said: "Why did he come here? Please meet me soon." Who do you think the monk is?It was Zen Master Foyin.Because Su Xueshi was relegated to Hangzhou, he resigned from Daxiangguo Temple, traveled to the abbot of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and communicated with Dongpo day and night.Later, Dongpo moved from Hangzhou to Xuzhou, and from Xuzhou to Huzhou, and Foyin followed him everywhere.

In the second year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong, Dongpo was the magistrate in Huzhou. He occasionally felt current events and wrote a few poems, which inevitably contained irony.Yu Shi Li Ding, Wang Gui and others impeached Su Shi for slandering the government.The emperor was furious, and sent the school captain to take Su Shi to Beijing, and ordered Li Ding to investigate.Li Ding was a student of Wang Anshi, the enemy of the Su family, and he was convicted of treason and treason.Dongpo was in prison, thinking about why, studying and becoming an official. Today, he lost his life for writing a few lines of poems?Nai chanted a poem of self-sigh. The poem said: "People want to be smart when they have children, but I lost my life for being smart."I hope that all the adopted children are stupid, and there will be no disasters and no disasters to the public.

After singing, weeping sadly, thinking: "The place where I am today is clearly like chickens and ducks in the hands of the cook. They are dead and alive. I wonder what the crime is for chickens and ducks, so I often cook them to eat? It's just because he doesn't Can talk, there is no Qu Moshen. Today I, Su Shi, can speak quickly in vain, and seek justice from there? Isn’t it miserable! I remember that Foyin often advised me to quit killing and fasting, and also advised me to abandon my official position and practice. Looking at it today, His words, every sentence is true, regret not following his words!"

The sigh continued, and suddenly he heard the sound of counting beads falling, and he chanted "Amitabha".Dongpo was startled, and when he opened his eyes, it was Chan Master Foyin.Dongpo forgot that he was in prison, got up to greet him, and asked: "Where is the brother?" Foyin said: "Nanshan Jingci Xiaoguang Temple, red lotus is in full bloom, and fellow scholars go to enjoy it." Dongpo followed each other unknowingly. And go, to Xiaoguang Temple.After entering the mountain gate, the monk's house is twists and turns along the way, which is clearly a place for familiar travel.There are bells, chimes and other classics in the Dharma hall, each one is recognizable, just like my own home, I am very surprised.After walking around the front and back of the temple, there were no lotus flowers.Nai asked Zen Master Foyin, "Where is the red lotus?" Foyin pointed back and said, "Isn't this from the red lotus?" Come.Walking up to the front, I said a deep blessing.Dongpo looked at the woman as if he had known her in the past.The woman took out a piece of flower paper from her sleeve and asked the bachelor to write a poem.Foyin got the pen and inkstone early, and Dongpo Suixin wrote four sentences by hand.The way is: "One wrong read in 47 years, greedy but red lotus willing to fall. Xiao Zhongming in Xiaoguang Temple, hold Tathagata's feet this time." The woman read the poem, tore it to pieces, hugged Dongpo, and said: "Scholar, don't be ungrateful!" Dongpo was helpless, but he was slapped away by Foyin, breaking out in a cold sweat.Wake up and turn around, it's Nan Ke Yimeng.The watch drum in the prison is playing the fifth watch.Dongpo pondered: "This dream is very special, and I never forget every word of the four lines of poem." For some unknown reason, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell ringing in the distance, and suddenly realized in his heart: "It is clear that I became a monk in Xiaoguang Temple in my previous life, and I was depraved for lust. Suffering from this suffering. If you are protected by the power of the Buddha and see the sun again, you should protect the Dharma with all your heart, learn from the Buddha and practice.”

At dawn in a few moments, the prison officer came in to congratulate him, saying: "The imperial decree pardons the scholar's crimes and demotes him to be the deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanlian." Dongpo was pardoned before he came out of the prison gate, and saw Zen Master Foyin at the head of the gate, coming forward Asked: "Scholar all right? The poor monk has been waiting for a long time!" It turned out that on the day he was arrested, Foyin also left Huzhou, and came back to the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo to find out Dongpo's whereabouts.Hearing that his questioning was a capital crime, they shared with him everywhere and asked for help, but Wu Chong and Wang Anli, two gentlemen, tried their best to protect the performance in front of the emperor.Empress Dowager Cao has heard of Su Shi's talent since the Renzong Dynasty, and she is also persuading Su Shi in the palace today.Only when the emperor changed his mind did he have this letter of pardon.When Dongpo saw Foyin, it was clear that he was reunited in the reincarnation, and he was very happy.Dongpo went to Wufeng Tower, thanked him, and then came to Daxiangguo Temple to find the Buddha's seal and tell him about his dream at night.Speaking of the middle, Foyin said: "Come on, the poor monk had the same dream last night." He also told the dream, and the latter part was the same as Dongpo's dream.The two sighed at each other.

The next day, under the imperial decree, Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou.Dongpo made an appointment with Foyin: If he does not take office, he will first visit Xiaoguang Temple outside the Qiantang Gate of Ninghai Navy.When the time comes, the path portal is as familiar as in a dream.He interviewed the monks and prepared the five precepts for privately polluting the red lotus.When the five precepts passed away, the "Ode to the World" was ordered, and the monks kept it in their own possession.Dongpo looked at it, and it matched the four lines of poems he wrote in his dream, so he knew that the reincarnation of Buddhism is not a lie, and the seal of Buddha is undoubtedly the reincarnation of enlightenment.At this time, Dongpo will shave his hair and wear black, and follow Foyin to become a monk.When Foyin refused to obey, he said: "The bachelor's official relationship has not been broken, and it will be 20 years before he can escape from the world. I hope to stick to the Taoist heart and stop changing." Dongpo listened to Foyin's words and came back to Huangzhou to take up his post.From then on, I don't kill living things, I don't drink too much alcohol, I wear common clothes inside and out, and I read scriptures and worship Buddha every day.In the three years in Huangzhou, Foyin is still with him day and night, every day.

Emperor Zhezong Yuanyou changed the Yuan Dynasty, took Dongpo back to Beijing, and was promoted to be a scholar of the Imperial Academy and a lecturer of Jingyan.In a few years, he was promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Duanmingdian University.Foyin is also dependent on each other in Daxiangguo Temple, and the contacts are endless.During the reign of Shaosheng, Zhang Dun became prime minister, resumed the administration of Wang Anshi, and demoted Dongpo from Dingzhou for resettlement.Dongpo went to Xiangguo Temple to resign from the Buddha's seal. Foyin said: "The bachelor's karma has not been removed. How much hard work has he had?" Dongpo asked, "When will I take it off?" Foyin said eight words, saying It is: "Return when you meet forever, and die when you meet jade." He also said: "Scholars who keep this horoscope in mind! The bachelor's trek is too big, and the poor monk is not allowed to accompany him, so he can only wait in Tokyo." Dongpo said goodbye in dismay.After arriving in Dingzhou for half a year, he was relegated to Yingzhou; after a while, he was relegated to Huizhou for resettlement; after staying in Huizhou for more than a year, he moved to Danzhou; he moved from Danzhou to Lianzhou; from Lianzhou to Yongzhou; "Trek too big" words.

Not long after he was in Yongzhou, the letter of amnesty arrived again, and he was called to raise the view of Yuju.Thinking: "'Return when you meet forever', this sentence has already been answered; 'I die when you meet jade', this is the end of my life." He hurriedly set off and returned to Tokyo to meet Zen master Foyin.Foyin said: "The poor monk wants to go home for a long time, and he only waits for the bachelor to go with him." At this time, Dongpo had a great understanding of Buddhism and knew it.That night, the two of them were in Xiangsi Temple. After taking a bath together, they talked about it at five o'clock and left separately.Here, Foyin passed away in Xiangguo Temple, and Dongpo returned to his apartment and passed away without any illness.

At the time of Emperor Daojun, a alchemist said: "Dongpo has become a Daluo Immortal. Thanks to the Buddha's seal, he will not fall. The Buddha's seal is the birth of an ancient Buddha." It is rare for these two generations to meet in ancient and modern times. story book.There are poems to prove: How extraordinary is Zen Buddhism?The Buddha is passed down in the world.It is easy for a cycad tree to bloom for thousands of years, but Abi will be in trouble if it falls.
