048 Back to Three Sentences

(Preface: Ask a small question, how should you pronounce the Buddhist scriptures? You cannot pronounce them like Tang poetry and Song lyrics. There is a saying that "a little monk recites scriptures without a heart." The little monk does this right. The scriptures are not left in his heart. What does this mean? That is to say, when chanting the scriptures, the body and mind are as quiet as a mirror. The scriptures chanted in his mouth are like birds flying in front of a mirror. When the birds come, there will be a projection in the mirror. After flying, there will be no trace in the mirror. The Diamond Sutra also says that the past, present and future three minds are unattainable. If you look at it, you are studying the meaning. Of course, you can only achieve that state after the meaning is clear. This is the case with the scriptures, what about the heavenly scriptures?)

******************************************

How to use rules? The two words "rules" sound like people who follow them, so how can they apply the rules? In fact, what Feng Junzi did today is an example. Practitioners cannot cast magic in public, shock the world, use supernatural powers to deal with ordinary people, and use Taoism to make profits and use personal gains in the secular world. These are the three major precepts that the world is abiding by. Feng Junzi helped Zhou Song to "select rags" today, obviously using supernatural powers, but he did not violate any precepts. He looked rather naughty, but in fact he was very skillful in doing things.

First of all, he did not cast spells in public, and Zhou Song didn't know what we did. Secondly, the object of his practice was not Zhou Song himself, but a pile of garbage, which was equivalent to a duty to sort the garbage dump. Finally, the most important thing was that Zhou Song picked it up by himself, and Feng Junzi and I didn't ask for him any benefits. This is an insignificant little thing. I am afraid that besides Feng Junzi, the masters in the world will not be despised. But small things also make great sense. Feng Junzi had said that there were many loopholes in the three major precepts, and Taoism was still useful in the world, and it depends on how you use it. OK! I picked up a bunch of rags and taught a lesson by the way.

...

"Brother, let me tell you a good news. After this summer, we don't have to meet in our dreams all the time... When you come to see me, you don't have to always be in this shrine."

This is what Liu Yiyi said to me. At this time, I was sitting on the shrine of the mountain temple with Liu Yiyi. She still habitually leaned on my shoulder and held one of my arms in her arms - there was no way, she could only stay in this place, and of course I was a dream of Yin Shen going out. Feng Junzi didn't let me see Sister Ziying again, and Xiu Xiu was gone. I really felt a little uncomfortable, and I always felt that there were many meaningful things missing in life. Fortunately, Yiyi, I could still chat with her in my dream.

"This is really good news, what's going on?"

Liu Yiyi: "Feng Junzi told me that my cultivation is almost done, and I can transform into shapes in just one step. He said that on the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar calendar this year, he would tell me the first half of the 'Change Chapter' of the Heavenly Book......"

"The Book of Heavenly Book" "The Transformation Chapter"? Why am I so familiar with it? I remembered that I once eavesdropped on the conversation between Feng Junzi and Zi Yingjie. Feng Junzi told Zi Yingjie that there is a 25th day of the fifth day of the lunar calendar this year, and I will go to the Zhaoting Mountain Temple to celebrate the first half of the 25th volume of the 25th chapter of the 25th chapter of the 25th chapter. It turns out that this 25th is Feng Junzi himself. When did this kid become so humble? He regarded himself as 25th.

"What is the Transformation of Heavenly Book? Why is there only the first half of the volume?" I asked Liu Yiyi.

"I don't know, he didn't say it. He just said that the transformation chapter was originally only the first half and the second half, and when he said it, people could only understand half of it... I don't care whether it's half or half, as long as I can always be with my brother. After summer, I can go out of the temple with my brother..."

I finally know what 25 means. The ancients used 1,000 quotations as a sacrificial money, then half-baked money is 500 quotations, and half-baked money is 25. Feng Junzi's "Transformation" is only half a volume, and others can only understand half of it when he said it. That is half-baked book of the half-baked heaven! No matter what kind of 25 he is, it is enough to let Liu Yiyi transform into a shape and escape from difficulties.

It is really strange that people's desires are very good. Rich people want to make more money, while powerful people want to be bigger officials will always feel that they are not happy enough. But for Liu Yiyi, her desires are so simple now, just to walk out of the mountain temple and take a look outside and accompany me. Thinking of this, a hint of pity rose in my heart and gently held Yiyi's hand.

Liu Yiyi had his heart and obviously felt the emotion in my heart. She was very obedient and did not speak, but leaned over her body and buried her head in front of my chest like a kitten. I couldn't help but gently stretch out my hand to stroke her long hair, and the atmosphere became warm and tender... At this moment, I heard a person coughing outside the temple gate, and then someone was talking: "Shiye, Liu Yiyi, am I disturbing you?"

...

At this time, no one else came out of the scenery, but Feng Junzi. Feng Junzi did not come in, but waited for me outside the mountain temple. After I came out, he waved to me, and when we walked away, he turned around and said, "Why did I forget this? I originally wanted to tell you that you can't see Liu Yiyi during this period... As a result, you really came to see her, but fortunately I discovered it!"

"Why? Sister Ziying, you don't let me see you, and Xiuxiu won't let you see you. Now Liu Yiyi doesn't let me meet you. Don't you know how pitiful Yiyi is, staying in this ghost place every day, waiting for me to accompany her at night..."

Feng Junzi: "Don't say that you are so noble. I think you are here to eat tofu. If you don't have to eat wontons, you will remember tofu... Don't I come here often? Why don't you see her treating me like that? In fact, I'm doing it for you and for her good! "

Feng Junzi told me that in recent times, I not only can’t go to the mountain temple to see Yiyi, but even Yin Shen can’t go out. Because I don’t know what kind of masters are secretly peeping at me. Once the Yin Shen who was traveling is trapped by the masters, it will be troublesome! Will Yin Shen also encounter troubles when he travels? I haven’t encountered it before, but the last time I went out of the Yin Shen and saw He Chen at the house of Tang’s father and son, and He Chen forced me back to his body at a glance. From then on, I knew that Yin Shen’s body was not unscrupulous. Feng Junzi said that the Three Dreams Great Method is very magical. According to the state of Shenyou, there is no physical object to block it. However, my cultivation is still shallow, and the state of "breaking the delusion" in the last step of the Dreaming Great Method has not yet reached, so it is better to be careful in everything.

The result of Sun Wukong's big fuss in the Heavenly Palace was that he was buried in Wuzhishan by Tathagata Buddha. When I made a fuss in Qiyunguan, Feng Junzi trapped Xiuxiu in Zhaoting Mountain. In fact, if you think about it, I was the one who was really suppressed. There was no Sister Ziying, no Xiuxiu, no Liu Yiyi, and no fun of Yin Shen going out. What is the difference between this and Sun Wukong being buried in Wuzhishan?

There is still a little difference. During the day, I am still a middle school student. When I am not in class, I can still run around. For example, I can also go to the Phoenix Bridge to chat with Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has never told me that I cannot come to him during this period.

...

"Boy, I'll give you a book. Go back and read it carefully. Regardless of whether you understand it or not, I will memorize it first."

Mr. Zhang threw me a book. When I looked at the cover, there were a few big words "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra". Before I came into contact with the Taoist Dharma, I always saw a group of people fighting for a secret book. However, later Feng Junzi spread the alchemy path, and the first book I gave me was actually "Zhuangzi" bought from Xinhua Bookstore, telling me that all cultivation started from "Xinzhai". So the book that Mr. Zhang threw me was not a legendary secret book, and I would not be surprised, but I still didn't expect that he would give me a Buddhist scripture.

"Mr. Zhang, what did you do for me in the Diamond Sutra? I'm not a monk."

Mr. Zhang smiled: "There are not monks in the world, but many people read Buddhist scriptures. I want you to read this Diamond Sutra to let you learn three sentences. Sometimes it is troublesome to talk to monks. The Zen Buddhist principles are full of Zen and Buddhist principles, and I feel dizzy when I can go around with him. When you meet the living Buddha, in front of so many practitioners, I don't want to see you as embarrassed as you are stupid. If you don't have a good answer, just use these three sentences to block the old lama's mouth."

Among Buddhist disciples, the most skilled in "discussion" is Tantric Buddhism and Zen Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism's "debating scriptures" is a fixed ritual, and Zen monks "attacking the maneuvers" seem mysterious and even weird in the eyes of ordinary people. However, when these two monks meet, they often cannot be said to go together. Tantric Buddhism focuses on the most rank of sequential levels. For example, an ordinary monk (except for living Buddhas) must start the assessment from the first level of "Lajang Bagsi", and then go through "wrong Bagsi", "Linse Gesi", "Rang Aba", "Quige", "Wenze", "Kansu", "Kansu", "Zi Fawang", "Fatai" and other multi-level Dharma seats. However, Zen Buddhism absorbs more of the "Tao" ideas of Chinese local culture, especially starting from the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, the "Sudden Enlightenment" trend is growing, and it has become the mainstream of the exoteric sects of Middle-earth Buddhism.

The main scriptures based on the Tantric Buddhism are the "Sutra for the Blessing of the Great Vairocana Buddha's Divine Transformation" (referred to as the "Mahayana Sutra"), and an important scripture advocated by Zen Buddhism is the "Diamond Sutra" given to me by Mr. Zhang. The three sentences that Mr. Zhang asked me to learn are: The Tathagata XX is not XX, but is called XX. For example, the old monk of Tathagata, that is, the old monk, but is called an old monk; the bastard is not a bastard, but is called a bastard... and so on. This is the "Three Syllogisms of the Diamond Sutra" that Confucian scholars often laugh at.

...

Reading Buddhist scriptures when you are lonely is also a kind of entertainment. The days pass quickly, and it is soon the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month, which is Monday, June 13, 1990.

I heard twice that Feng Junzi was going to Zhaoting Mountain Temple to chant the "Transformation Chapter" of the "Transformation Chapter" on this night. Although I don't know what he was talking about, Sister Ziying was able to transform into a human body after listening to it, and Liu Yiyi was able to transform into a body after listening to it. How could I not be curious? Although I was curious, Feng Junzi never mentioned this to me a word. During this day, during the day, he still did not see any abnormalities in class and after class. I gradually became a little anxious.

After school in the afternoon, he didn't say hello to me, and he put his schoolbag in the desk drawer without holding it. He left with both hands shaking. For the first time, I made a decision - follow him!

It was not difficult to follow him. He was not fast and walked all the way to the old bus station. There were two bus stations in Wucheng. The new bus station mainly had long-distance buses, and the old bus station mainly had short-distance buses in urban and rural areas. Feng Junzi bought a ticket and got on the bus. It was a bus heading towards Zhaoting Mountain. I also went to the window to buy tickets, but the ticket seller told me that the tickets for the train were sold out. The man just bought five tickets at once. Half an hour later there was another train. I looked back and saw that the previous car had already left.

He lost him inadvertently! Feng Junzi bought the remaining five tickets, which clearly meant that he didn't want me to follow him? Why? I suddenly thought of something that Feng Junzi was worried that someone would follow me in the secret, and if I followed him again, he would be discovered together. He obviously didn't want too many people to know what he did today.

After thinking about it, I still bought a shuttle ticket for half an hour later. After getting on the bus, I closed my eyes and calmed down, condensed my spiritual consciousness and sent me around, but I didn't find anyone secretly peeping at me. Of course, if there is really someone with a high level of cultivation, I might not be able to find it. I am really a little worried about Liu Yiyi in Zhaoting Mountain, so I still have to go and take a look.

I got off at the foot of Zhaoting Mountain, and confirmed that there was no one around, so I went up the mountain. I did not walk the road that tourists often walked, but turned around and drilled into a hidden path among the thorns. Don’t forget that I grew up in the Zhaoting Mountain area, often digging winter bamboo shoots and picking hawthorns. The road on the mountain is not as familiar as I am not familiar with. I circled around the mountains. At this time, the sky was approaching dusk and the light became dark. In this case, walking on the wild roads between the mountains, even if it is a very familiar road, you will get lost if you are not careful, and you may even fall into the mountain stream. It is almost impossible to follow someone.

More than an hour later, I waded through the snow stream and touched the wild peach forest outside the mountain temple. I leaned out from behind a peach tree and looked at the gate of the mountain temple. - It was strange that the gate was open, but there was no one around...

"What are you doing here?" The sound from behind my ears scared me. When I turned around, Feng Junzi actually stood behind me.

"Feng Junzi, why did you hide behind me? I was shocked!"

"You boy followed me all the way and said I scared you?"

"So you discovered it long ago."
