084 Back To Be Kind(2/2)

"Feng Junzi, what are you doing? You actually told Facheng that I could find Fahai! How can I find it?" This was the night that day, and I met Feng Junzi Yin Shen at the Zhuangyuan Bridge again. This day was our appointment because Fayuan's Diamond Sutra was finished.
Feng Junzi: "How can you know if you can do it if you don't try it? Actually, I'm as curious as Facheng. What did the old monk want to do after sitting for decades? I'm sure he didn't become a Buddha. Even the Japanese entered the village and the junior brother didn't move. Was he really lost?"
"Are you curious why you didn't help yourself, but asked me to do it?"
Feng Junzi: "Last time you talked to me about the World Sect Conference, I also went to inquire. What do you think of the result? In the last World Sect Conference, the one who won the championship in the battle was Fahai of Jiulin Zen Temple! After Fahai's cultivation level surpassed the world, he actually chose not to ask about the world. What kind of cultivation is this? Of course I am interested! And next year's sect conference, do you know who the winner will be?"
I once asked Mr. Zhang this question, but Mr. Zhang refused to ask me. Hearing this, I asked him back: "Can it be Qiye?"
Feng Junzi: "If Qiye attends the sect conference, then he will undoubtedly be the best in the world."
"Are you so sure? People like Shuzheng and Living Buddha, can't their cultivation level be as good as Qiye?"
Feng Junzi smiled: "Although I heard you say about the sect meeting, I later learned more rules than you. Every sect meeting is a communication between the disciples of the same generation, and the elders will not take action. For example, next year's sect meeting will be like the Ze generation of Zhengyi, the seven generation of the Zhongnan sect, and Zhang Zhi. Hexi, Hechen, Chongfeng, Dingwen, Facheng, Fayuan, and even Shang Yunfei and Mr. Zhang will not take action with the younger generation. However, the true man of Shouzheng, Ge Jujizan Living Buddha, did not take action at the last sect meeting. Those people were no match for Qiye."
"So that's it. So what does this have to do with Fahai?"
Feng Junzi: "What is the difference between the world's number one sixty years ago and the world's number one now? This is the relationship I want to know. And you are helping Facheng find senior brother, now there is no hurry, just before and after the sect meeting. You don't know how to find it, but I don't know. The practice of Buddhism is different from you and me, but there is a level of similarity, which is the true void heavenly calamity you are about to face. You don't have to pass this heavy heavenly calamity, and Fahai's affairs may be your worldly human calamity. Since it is a human calamity, it's useless for you to ask more questions...Okay, let's not mention this matter for now. Have you finished listening to all the thirty-two-grade Diamond Sutra today?"
"I've finished listening."
Feng Junzi: "What is the Diamond Sutra talking about?"
"I think--actually, nothing is said."
Feng Junzi: "Oh, then what have you heard?"
"The word Buddha is said in the scriptures - if you see me with your appearance and seek me with your voice, you will be a person who is following the evil path and cannot see the Tathagata. Since the Tathagata is not visible, of course he will not say anything."
Feng Junzi: "What is Tathagata?"
"The Tathagata has nowhere to come from and nowhere to go, so it is called Tathagata."
Feng Junzi blinked: "What should I do? What did the Buddha say?"
"The Buddha finally said that all conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, and should be viewed like this."
Feng Junzi: "How to understand the word "profit"?"
"Everything in the world that can be seen, known, touched, heard, conceived, and is all active."
Feng Junzi sighed and said, "It seems that you really understand, I understand, and the source of the preaching. But judging from your appearance, you have not become a Buddha?"
"Of course I have not become a Buddha, nor have the source of Dharma."
Feng Junzi: "You and I understand are all understandings of the meaning of the scriptures, not real verification and enlightenment. Sometimes when you hear monks preaching Buddhism, it feels like you are listening to the speeches of the party and government leaders who are serving the people. When talking about practice, laymen are often prone to making this mistake. They talk about it very well, but they are just empty talk. Saying it is good, saying it is bad, saying it has, and saying it does not, you have to come in first, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much you say it. Take the 'delusion' I teach you as an example. People in the world can use thousands of words to talk about the 'delusion mind', but they have not experienced it, and they have no real experience in it."
Feng Junzi mentioned breaking the delusion, and I also remembered the serious things: "Feng Junzi, I have finished listening to the scriptures. Should I go and pick up Liu Yiyi from the delusion?"
Feng Junzi: "Time has come, but there is one thing to do first. Shi Ye, you will accompany me to find Han Ziying tomorrow. I have one thing to discuss with you two. After the discussion, you will pick up Liu Yiyi."
"Why? What does this have to do with Sister Ziying?"
Feng Junzi: "Have you ever thought about it? If Liu Yiyi could leave Zhaoting Mountain, how would you plan to give her a foothold in this world?"
Feng Junzi's words stunned me. I had never thought about this issue carefully before! If Liu Yiyi could leave Zhaoting Mountain, what identity could she return to this world?
...
"Boss, if Zhiwei Building opened, would you help Shi Ye?" This was the lunch time of the next day. Feng Junzi asked Sister Ziying, and I sat aside.
Sister Ziying: "Of course I have to go to Zhiweilou. Zhang Zhi said that the manager of this restaurant still needs me to do it. If it is Shiye's restaurant, I would be willing to be this manager."
Feng Junzi: "Then I will call you Manager Han. May I ask Manager Han, what should I do if you go to Zhiweilou? Is it okay to close the door like this?"
Han Ziying smiled, and she looked at Feng Junzi: "You asked me this, but you have plans in your heart. What are you planning to use this place?"
Feng Junzi: "Talking to smart people is easy to deal with, and you can easily understand it at a glance. I want to borrow this store for use, but the restaurant is no longer open, I want to open a tea room."
Sister Ziying: "Has Senior Luxue agreed to you?"
