Chapter 1356: Discussing Zen Again

Zhao Yiming looked at the monk Fayan in front of him. The two had indeed not seen each other for thousands of years. He thought that the other party was dying, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

He smiled and said: "Many things are really beyond everyone's expectations. There has been no news from you for many years. I haven't seen you in several wars. I thought you were sucked dry by that witch."

Monk Fayan shook his head gently and said seriously: "I was the abbot of the capital of the Star Empire for several years. Unexpectedly, something changed there, so I left alone.

Later, I wandered to many places, saw many things, and heard many legends about you, but I no longer have the heart to participate in these things."

Zhao Yiming glanced at him casually, and said with a smile: "But I see that your heart is not calm, and there are still many things that you can't let go. When will you become a Buddha?"

Monk Fayan smiled and said: "I have become indifferent to this over the years. What What is Buddha and what is demon? Without demon, there is no Buddha. Everything is just a thought. "

Zhao Yiming nodded with taste, then shook his head and said: "You are willing to go from one extreme to another. Even if you become a Buddha, you must be a particularly persistent Buddha."

Monk Fayan said calmly: "What's the matter with persistence? Many times in this world, it is because of obsession that we can reach the end.

If you don't even have the last bit of persistence, how can you know how bad you can be? Many times, those obsessions are just to prove that you are really bad. "

Zhao Yiming stretched out his hand and said: "Do you remember the time I knocked you? Do you understand it now?"

Monk Fayan put his hands together, bowed and said: "The knock that year woke me up, and the same knock also woke me up. I was dizzy because I have been floating around for many years and can't find the real way home. "

Zhao Yiming knocked on his head again, and then said seriously: "There is no road in this world. When more people walk, it will naturally become a road.

If you can't find a road, why can't you just walk out a road by yourself? If you always walk the road of your predecessors, when will you have your own road.

If you don't have your own road, then you are walking on someone else's road. Do you want to walk on someone else's road and leave others with no way to go? In that case, others will only walk on your road and finally reach your other side. "

Monk Fayan said with a smile: "But even I don't know where the other side is, how can others find my other side?"

Zhao Yiming pointed to his heart and said: "The other side is here, and the heart is the Lingshan. You guard the Lingshan and look for the Lingshan. When will you find the Lingshan? Only then can you see the real Lingshan.

Just like many people pray to Buddha every day, but they don’t know what Buddha is and where Buddha is. In fact, everything in the world is Buddha.

Parents are Buddha, relatives and friends are Buddha, and children are Buddha. If you don’t pray for these Buddhas and pray for useless Buddhas every day, it will be nothing in the end. "

Monk Fayan lowered his eyebrows, and then said attentively: "Then tell me, is there Buddha in this world, is there merit in the world?"

Zhao Yiming said with a smile: "Then I say there is no Buddha in the world, because you don’t believe it yourself, so how can you come to Buddha? As for merit, tell me what merit is.

What’s the use of merit? Don’t fight or grab, don’t be angry or angry, everything is like a floating cloud to you, then what’s the use of you coming, since fame, wealth, beauty and power are not in your heart.

What do you want with merit? Everything is just going with the flow, everything is just going with your heart. Since it’s natural, why bother about whether it exists or not. "

Monk Fayan nodded again, then looked towards the horizon. Spots of golden light appeared on his body, slowly connecting into a golden piece, and his skin had turned dark gold.

At this moment, he really realized it, gave up everything he had, condensed his body into a golden body, and stayed here, not for anything, but for what he was willing to give up.

Zhao Yiming stood up and walked out slowly again, every step was very steady. At this moment, he looked much older and relieved a lot in his heart.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, he looked back at the top of the mountain again, and the entire top of the mountain was empty. There was no temple at all, only a thin golden Buddha statue, drifting alone in the wind.

He sighed again and continued to walk slowly forward, this time without any pause, crossing mountains and rivers, and walking through the wind and rain jungle.

Just walking step by step in front, he soon came to a country, which was also thriving. He vaguely remembered that it was once called Huainan.

At this time, he had become old, so he sat down in a teahouse and saw a young man writing furiously, as if writing something there.

He asked with a smile: "I don't know what the young man is writing?"

The young man raised his head and answered: "I am writing about the past of the Huainan Empire, writing about how it could prosper in the past. I heard that this place was once called the Free State.

It's a pity that many things happened later. Over the past thousands of years, people have forgotten what happened in the past, but there are still a few words left.

Based on these few words, I will organize these legends, organize everything in the past, and let people know the glory of the past, and know that all this is hard-won. "

Zhao Yiming chuckled, then said seriously: "I wonder what you got here, what clues did I find?"

The young man smiled and said, "I only heard that there were two people here, one of whom was the prince of an empire, and the other was an unparalleled wise man. The two of them developed this place together.

Later, for some unknown reason, the wise man and the prince parted ways, and the prince supported the overall situation alone. It's a pity that he was still lacking in many aspects and ultimately failed to sweep the world.

I often wonder, if the wise man was more broad-minded and the prince was more sensible, would everything change, and everything would be different now."

Zhao Yiming smiled and said, "There are no ifs in many things. It has been so long, who knows who was right and who was wrong back then? Right and wrong are really not that important. What matters is that this place has happened.

In this world, we can only share adversity, but not happiness and sorrow. Many brothers who share adversity finally parted ways in the face of interests. There is no right or wrong at all."

After listening, the young man nodded and wrote there again. Zhao Yiming stood up and walked away, and understood more.
