Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 80
The hundred-foot ladder in Xiangyu Qiyuan, I don’t know Xiaoying’s cry outside the window.Jue Lai Wu Ding Hu Ma cooked, the month before the Twelve Peaks is not west.This poem was written by a practitioner of Guanghua Temple in Xuyi County during the reign of Emperor Qi Ming, whose surname was Fan and whose Dharma name was Pu Neng.In his previous life, Pu Neng was originally a white-necked weasel, which was born in the courtyard in front of the Guan room of Zen Master Datong in Qianfo Temple.Chan Master Datong only recited the Lotus Sutra when he was sitting in the seclusion.This song is very spiritual, and when you hear and recite it, you can relax your head and listen to it.The Zen master recited the scriptures for three years, and this song also listened to the scriptures for three years.Suddenly one day, the Zen master's closed period was over, and he came out to practice fasting and worship the Buddha. Occasionally, he saw the grass in front of the closed room several feet deep, which had not been weeded for a long time, so he called the little novice to hoe the grass.The little novice plucked all the grass in the courtyard, and reached the corner of the wall. The hoe was so powerful that it penetrated several inches into the soil.But he didn't know that the song was under it, and he swung it into two parts.The little novice shouted: "Amitabha! I hurt my life today. It's a sin, a sin!" Digging up some soil to bury the song wee, it's no problem.This song got the power of listening to the scriptures, so he got a human body and was born in Fan's family.When he was growing up, his parents died, so he sacrificed his life in Guanghua Temple, and became a firework Taoist under the seat of Zen Master Konggu.He is honest, he lives under the kitchen of Xiangji, cooks tea and cooks, and serves the elders diligently; even the monks treat each other as one, regardless of each other.Although Pu Neng was illiterate, he could still remember some classics. There was only one "Lotus Sutra", which he recited fluently.Morning and evening, morning and evening, whenever you have free time, you should really recite and practice.After staying in the temple for more than [-] years, I heard that Zen Master Datong of Qianfo Temple had gone to sit down, and it was very easy to go, so I came up with an idea and said to the elders: "Fan Dao has been in the temple for many years, and he has been fasting all his life. I don't have any greed, and I don't dare to waste things. Today, I bid farewell to the elders and look back, begging the elders for mercy, and asking for a place to live." After saying that, he bowed down and knelt down.The elder said: "Get up, let me tell you, although you are practicing Buddhism, you still don't know the door of spiritual perception. Now you look back, only go on this quiet road, and don't fall into the trap of wealth and wealth. If you miss your mind, please A reincarnation is not available." Fan Dao was remembered, he resigned from the elder, and came to the Xiangji kitchen to take a bath.Wear some clean clothes, worship the parents of the Buddhas, heaven and earth, and say goodbye to the monks.Entering the alcove, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.All the monks chanted scriptures with him, and asked the workers to carry the niche to the open space. They were about to invite the elder to light the fire, only to hear the bell ringing in the hall, and the elder hurriedly asked people to say: "Don't set the fire!" Take the sedan chair and come to the niche.Asked someone to open the door of the alcove, and saw Fan Dao woke up again. Yi opened his eyes first, but couldn't stand up, put his hands together and said to the elder, "The disciple just went to a good place and entered the red brocade tent. It was stable. I heard the bell ringing again, and a golden Arhat pushed his disciple and fell into a big white lotus pond. After being startled, he woke up. I don’t know what is the decree?" The elder said, "Because you I lost my mind, so I cast it on things; I specially wake you up to reincarnate.” He said to the monks, “Under the ginkgo tree outside the mountain gate, dig up the bluestone to have a look.” All the monks came under the tree, When I dug up the bluestone, I saw a small fiery red chain snake, which was just born and died there.All the monks were amazed when they saw it, and they replied to the elder, saying: "It really happened!" The elder called the first disciple and Fan Dao and said: "Stay safe, don't think about it, and go to a good place. Reincarnation, the position Kings and emperors, if you don't slack in your practice, you will reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss." After Fan Dao received the memory, he chanted "Namo Amitabha Buddha" loudly and closed his eyes.All the monks came to ask the elder to go down the fire. The elder put on the robes of Tathagata, took a sedan chair, and carried him to Fan Dao's niche, and paid Fan Dao how about it.The verse said: "Fan Dao, Fan Dao, cooks on the stove every day. The golden lotus in the fire is upside down." After the elder finished reading the verse, he ordered people to set off the fire, and saw that all kinds of writings were about to rise.All the monks recited the sound of the Buddha, and saw that on the top of the altar, a stream of green smoke rolled out from the fire, about tens of feet high, circling around, and went to a place to the east.It is said that in the east of Xuyi County, there is a village of Le'an.There is a rich man in the village, surnamed Huang and named Qi.His wife, Meng Shi, was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth.Fan Dao followed the instructions of the elders, and this spiritual light actually fell into Meng's arms.Fan Dao passed away here, and the Meng family gave birth to this child there.It is said that this child has a dignified appearance and a handsome frame.Huang Yuanwai is in his forties and has no children. Having this child is like acquiring some treasures. The whole family is happy!Good but very good, just one thing: the baby was born, crying day and night, and refused to take milk.The husband and wife were worried and prayed to God and Buddha, but nothing happened.

Director Li at home said to the staff: "Young officials are crying endlessly, or there may be some reasons, I don't know. Twenty miles away from here, there is a Guanghua Temple in the mountains. Elder Kong Gu in the temple can know the past and the future. Why don't Yuanwai go and beg him? There must be a reason." Huang Yuanwai heard that he quickly prepared a box of gifts and incense, got up and went to Guanghua Temple.How is its temple?The poem goes: "The bells of the mountain temple come out of the west of the valley, and the stream is full of smoke. The wild flowers are all over the ground, and many tourists pass the stone embankment." Entering the abbot, Zen Master Konggu greeted him. Huang Yuanwai hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xinsheng Xiao Baby, crying day and night, refusing to breastfeed, in danger. I hope my master is merciful, and I will never forget it forever." The elder knew that Fan Dao asked the elder to be remembered, so he cried day and night.The elder didn't tell the reason, so he said to Huang Yuanwai: "I have to go see him in person, of course there is nothing wrong." He left Huang Yuanwai to eat vegetarian food in the abbot's house, took a sedan chair with Huang Yuanwai, and came to Huang Yuanwai's house overnight .Ask the elder to sit in the hall, and the elder calls: "Bring out your son." Huang Yuanwai carries him out.The elder touched the child's head with his hand, and whispered a few words in the child's ear, but no one could hear him.The elder touched the child's head with his hand again, and said, "There will be no calamity or difficulty, benefit parents, and the source of Tao will never be replaced." Seeing the child, he stopped crying.Everyone was amazed and said: "Have you ever seen these strange things? It's really a living Buddha!" ​​Huang Yuanwai said: "When you are one year old, send it to Shangsha and send your name to become a monk." The elder said: "It's best." Come back to the temple.Fortunately, Yuanwai Huang's child was safe and his family took good care of him.Time twiddled its fingers, and it was one year old again.Huang Yuanwai said: "I once asked the child to send his name to become a monk." He arranged a box to show the gift, asked the adoptive mother to hold the child, and took two sedan chairs to carry the child to the temple.When I came to the abbot, I asked the elder to thank me and give me a gift.The elder and the child took a dharma name, Huang Furen, and sent out a small vestment and monk's hat, which Furen wore.After eating some vegetarian food, Huang Yuanwai still went home with his children.Back and forth, Furen didn't realize he was six years old again, so he asked a private tutor to teach him how to read.This Furen is rooted and intelligent, everyone in the village knows that he is the incarnation of Fan Dao in Guanghua Temple, and he will be rich and honored in the future.

There is a Tong Taiwei in this county. He sees that Furen is smart and handsome, and sees that the Huang family has millions of money. He has a daughter who is the same age as Furen.Huang Yuanwai was not sure about the Taiwei's daughter at the beginning, but Tong Taiwei repeatedly forced him to order 200 boxes, 1000 taels of gold jewelry, [-] taels of silver, and several pieces of silk.It is also a fate for a while.It is said that this woman is very clever. She can read and write without going to school, and she likes to recite all kinds of scriptures.Why can it be like this?But he was a maid beside Patriarch Maha Kasyapa, who was born into a predestined relationship.At the beginning, the two men and women were young and ignored human affairs.When they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and as they got older, the two of them only wanted to become monks and practice, and neither wanted to marry.Because Furen is old, Huang Yuanwai chooses a date to be married.When Miss Tong heard that the Huang family had a day and was going to get married, she was flustered and hurriedly wrote a book to send the adoptive mother to his wife.The book says: "Qiewei's "Poetry" emphasizes "Plum Blossom", and the etiquette is in harmony. The world is different, and the law is difficult. Ziyu aspires to Zen, and if he is not happy to sing, he will be there; When you think about everything, everything is exhausted. With a little Zen lamp, why do you need the splendor of candles? Sanskrit chimes are played several times, and the sound of zithers and zithers is heard? Breaking the bowl and eating sweets, and wearing clothes. Yiche. Fu Wang, my mother, showed great mercy, and expressed my compassion: I am forever grateful to be the goddess of the cloud, and I would rather chase after the moon Chang'e. If the Buddha fruit is achieved, the kindness will be repaid. Don't ask about the sound of the Qiongxiao, the alliance of the eternal cold jade pestle. It's a pity to be kind to Taiwan." The adoptive mother took the young lady's book and sent it to the wife.The wife received the book and said to the adoptive mother: "Because the Huang family asked for a marriage, no one came to see the young lady. Why did my daughter ask you to send the book?" The adoptive mother refused to marry the young lady. Just read the scriptures and recite the Buddha to become a monk, I said it again.After hearing this, the wife was not happy, so she asked the master to read the book.The wife gave the young lady's book to the Taiwei.The Taiwei looked at it and said: "You have no lessons! Marriage between men and women is the norm. I only see that my filial brother is connected with the gods, but have I ever seen him practice and become a Buddha?" He tore the book to pieces and cursed: "Fart, fart!" The captain only married the young lady according to the life of the Huang family.Huang Furen and Miss Tong worshiped the flowers and candles that day. Although they shared the same room, they slept separately.After more than half a year, the couple respect and love each other, just like guests.Huang Furen is going to resign from the lady and go out for a wandering.The young lady said: "If the officials go out to travel, I will go to become a monk with you. It has been said since ancient times: when a woman marries her husband, she will never dare to break her body." Seeing that Miss Furen insisted on practicing, she refused to remarry Said to the young lady, "Hey, I will be sworn brother and sister with you, let's do double cultivation together." The young lady was happy, and the two worshiped in front of the Buddha.After swearing, the two changed into coarse clothes, had a simple meal, and practiced at home.Seeing this appearance, Huang Yuanwai was not happy.Afraid of being ridiculed, the members had to send Furen and his wife, including a adoptive mother and two Meixiang, to live in a desolate place in Xizhuang in the mountains.The husband and wife just read the scriptures, recited the Buddha, and meditated in Zen.

More than three years.The two were sitting in meditation under the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddha. Suddenly, Huang Furen saw a beautiful woman, coquettish and coquettish. If a person does not share the bed with the young lady, he will definitely lose the Huang family's heirs; secondly, if it does not hinder the cultivation of high officials, no one will be aware of it." After finishing speaking, he fell in love with Furen.Furen was so close to this beautiful woman, and also heard that the heirs of the Huang family were extinct, so he felt a little tempted.Then he thought: "Miss Tong is much more beautiful than him. If I don't touch him, how can this woman ruin my Taoism?" Flying around, Furen woke up startled.This young lady is also easy to put ginseng on. Furen hurriedly got up to worship the Bodhisattva, and then came to pay respects to the young lady, saying: "Furen's Taoism is not strong, and he is almost possessed by a demon. I hope my sister will show you." Sheng Furen.The young lady said: "Brother was fascinated by the sex demon, so I have this illusion. You and I are going to see Patriarch Kongu to seek relief." The next day, the two came to Guanghua Temple to see the elder.Kong Gu said: "When the desire is revived, the four great things are gone; if you seek to get rid of it, you will be enlightened." Because of the slogan of Fu Ren and his wife, how about: jump out of the abyss of love and desire, and drink the Lingshan spring thirsty.The husband also dies and goes to live, and the wife also lives in Futian.Xiuxiu Tongtai Temple, Hehe is very happy.The husband and wife bid farewell to the elders, returned to Xizhuang, and said to the adoptive mother and Mei Xiang, "my two sisters, I bid farewell to you tonight, and each should look back." , Ordinary practice, how do you not bring your adoptive mother back together?" Furen said: "This is reluctant, I'm afraid you will not be destined." The adoptive mother replied: "I know for myself." The husband and wife took a bath, and each Worshiping in front of the Buddha, the couple melted away.The adoptive mother was also in the room and turned her head for some reason.Huang Yuanwai heard it and cleaned it up.No problem.

Let's say that Huang Daguan, who is an elf, came to vote in Xiao's house, and the young lady came to vote in Zhi's house.There is Xiao Erlang in Yuhu Lake, who lives in Qiwei's family. Xiao Yi and Xiao Tanzhi belong to the same family.Xiao Erlang's wife, Shan Shi, is the most benevolent and charitable. She is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth, but Furen here is easy to sit down.At night, Shan dreamed of a golden man, more than Zhang long, dressed in a crown, with banners, feathers and pheasants, extremely shining.A group of people in scarlet clothes, surrounded by chariots, came to Xiao's hall to rest.This golden man, alone, went into Shan's room, looked at Shan and bowed down.Shan was terrified, and when she was about to ask, in a trance, Shan felt a dream and gave birth to a child.This child could cry and howl when he was born, and since he was different from Chang'er, he was named Xiao Yan.When he was eight or nine years old, he had a strange fragrance on his body.Smart, talented, and well-written, unmatched by others.He is also good at talking about soldiers, predicting the enemy's victory, and making every effort.Yan Yi was born on May [-]th, and Qi Shi's customs are taboo to hurt his parents, and he is often reluctant to give up.His mother raised him secretly, and his father didn't know about it.As a result, I ordered to see my father.His father said, "Wuyue'er punished his parents, so why raise him?" Yan said to his father, "If Wuyue'er harmed his parents, then Xiao Yan was nine years old; during those nine years, has he ever harmed his parents? If you didn't hurt your parents when you were nine years old, how can you punish your parents after the age of nine? Please don't doubt it, father." His father disagreed with him, and his confusion was a little cleared.When his uncle Xiao Yi heard about it, he said: "This son has excellent knowledge and vision, and in the future he will be great in my family." From this, he knows that he is extraordinary, and he can discuss everything with him.

From time to time, Li Ben, the governor, conspired against him, proclaimed himself Emperor Yue, and set up officials.The court ordered General Yang Jian to beg Ben.Seeing that Li Ben is powerful and afraid that he won't be able to win, Yang Yao often comes to ask Xiao Yi for advice.Yi said: "I have my nephew, Xiao Yan. Although he is young, he is very intelligent and talented. I will invite someone to discuss with him. There must be something good." Xiao Yi hurriedly called Xiao Yan to see Yang Yao.Seeing Yan's unusual behavior, he saluted him, asked humbly, and asked for a strategy to break Ben.Yan said: "Li Ben has planned for a long time. His soldiers and horses are strong, and the soldiers are returning. Fighting with a brigade of troops is like throwing meat at a tiger. You will see his defeat immediately. Wen Ben straddled Huainan and approached Guangzhou. Sun Jiong Take a walk to take the crime, Zixiong loses the law and dies, Ben is full of arrogance and no longer has any scruples. He leads a large army to settle in Huainan, with one army to fight with Chen Ba first, and then copy Ben's rear; a few thousand people will join the battle with Ben, don't worry. Fighting for strength, pretending to be defeated, and walking away, leading to the place of Datun in Huainan. Moreover, the reeds in Huainan are deep and curved, and the ground is wet and muddy, so it is not easy to hire. There are deep ditches and high fortifications under one step. If you don't fight with us, you will be killed. At the right time, he set the fire on fire because of the wind; the bully cut off his way back from the rear, and pretended that the Ben army fled and attacked and captured the city. There is no way for Ben to advance and retreat, and he will be captured." I glanced at Wen Yanyan, sighed in amazement, and bowed and said goodbye. go.Yang Yao followed Li Ben's strategy and defeated Li Ben.Xiao Yan's reputation has become better and better, he is admired from far and near, and people are happy to return.
