The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 377 The Buddha in Fangzheng's Heart 【Subscription】

Su Yun chuckled, got a small basin of water and put it on the ground, Lone Wolf hurried over to drink it, licking the water with his tongue, making a loud noise.

Su Yun was busy cooking and went to the kitchen. For a while, Fang Zheng with a kind face and Lu Hui with a frosty face and frowning were left in the living room. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After sitting for a while, Lu Hui finally spoke: "Little monk, you were watching the game downstairs just now, right? You were there yesterday, right?"

Fangzheng nodded slightly and said, "The poor monks are indeed there."

"You don't eat fast and chant Buddha, what kind of football game do you have time to watch?" Lu Hui sneered. In his opinion, the little monk in front of him is probably a fake monk. Even if he is a real monk, he is obviously a monk with no heart. Running to watch a football game?

Fangzheng smiled and said: "The poor monk went down the mountain this time to see the world and the various aspects of life. The golf course is also a part of life, so if you are interested, you must watch it. What's more, the really exciting things are often not on the court. "

"Oh? Then I'm curious. What's exciting is not on the court, where is it?" Lu Hui asked curiously after hearing what Fang Zheng said.

Fangzheng said meaningfully: "Naturally, it's outside the court, inside the heart of a person."

Lu Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then said a little dissatisfied: "Are you saying that I shouldn't drive them away? You know what the hell!"

Fangzheng shook his head and said, "How about the benefactor, what does it have to do with the poor monk?"

Lu Hui was stunned: "Then what do you mean?"

Fangzheng smiled and said nothing, Lu Hui looked at Fangzheng suspiciously, he was a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in this little monk's gourd.

At this moment, Su Yun came out with vegetables, all green vegetables, no meat, it seems that their family is not too good. Su Yun said: "There are no dishes, so don't blame the little mage."

Fangzheng got up quickly, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it is already a great kindness for the benefactor to give the poor monk a bite of food. How can the poor monk blame him?"

Su Yun happily went to the back kitchen to prepare for other things.

Fangzheng just sat down, Lu Hui said: "I have seen a lot of monks begging for money these days, but many of them were arrested by the police. I heard that Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana, Mahayana Buddhism saves people, Theravada Buddhism saves oneself, and Mahayana Buddhism Don’t beg for alms, Hinayana Buddhism, can this matter? Little monk, are you Theravada Buddhism?”

From this series of questions, it was obvious that Lu Hui still had some understanding of Buddhism, and they were tit for tat, showing their sharpness, and pointed directly at Fang Zheng. Mahayana Buddhism is the mainstream in China. If it is regarded as Hinayana Buddhism, it will feel despised. At least, people think so. Of course, in the eyes of monks...

Fangzheng said: "Alms, Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Mahayana Buddhism, but Mahayana Buddhism does not distinguish between high and low. Whether it is to save others or save yourself, it is to let this world have one more good person. How can it be good or bad? As for the poor monk, What the poor monk believes in is Buddha, regardless of Mahayana and Hinayana, as long as it is right, the poor monk will believe.

As for alms, there are also rules for alms, as the saying goes:

If you don't melt it after noon, if you don't melt money, you can't melt seven families.

So and so, if it doesn't change.

Sitting cross-legged on an empty stomach, I want to go to my ancestral home and save myself. "

"Believe in Buddha? Then what kind of Buddha do you believe in?" Lu Hui wanted to test Fangzheng.

Fangzheng pointed to his heart and said, "Heart Buddha, Self Buddha, Heaven and Earth Buddha."

"What kind of Buddha is this?" Lu Hui was stunned.

Fangzheng said: "Seeing the nature and seeing the Buddha, everyone in the world can become a Buddha. Why don't you believe in yourself, faith, and the goodness in the hearts of all things in the world? The poor monk only wants to be ashamed of his heart, and have merits and virtues in the world. As the saying goes: How to become a Buddha if you have a Buddha in your heart. Buddha?"

Lu Hui was dumbfounded, looking at Fangzheng as if he was looking at a monster. Lu Hui had seen some monks, and those monks talked about Buddha, and they talked about Buddha, what, and so on... But Fangzheng was still a head See you once! This is simply a monster among Buddhists!

Lu Hui became even more curious about Fang Zheng, sat up straight, brows opened a lot, and said, "If your words spread, you will probably be beaten to death by Buddhists."

Fangzheng shook his head slightly and said, "No, the Buddha can accept all kinds of rivers and the world, as long as it is right and kind, it can be tolerated. The Buddha does not represent the words of one family, but the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought. Everyone has their own statue in their hearts. Buddha, it’s just that some people believe in other people’s Buddha, that’s all.”

"You really won't be excluded?" Lu Hui asked seriously.

Fang Zheng wanted to nod at first, but when he thought of Zen Master One Finger, Fang Zheng hesitated. What Fangzheng said just now was said by Zen Master Yizhi. Back then, Zen Master Hongyan also said that Zen Master Yizhi was a different kind of person, that's why he went to Yizhi Mountain... The original monastery couldn't accommodate him.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng sighed, "Not everyone can cultivate to this point. Their thinking is different, and there will inevitably be unpleasant things. Just avoid them."

Lu Hui laughed when he heard this. He began to believe that Fang was a real monk, because he found that when the monk in front of him spoke, his eyes were extremely clear, without any distracting thoughts, and what he said came from the heart. This was the first time he had seen such a pure person.

At this time, Su Yun brought another dish and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Are you talking so happily?"

Lu Hui rarely smiled and said, "I chatted with the mage about Buddhist things."

Su Yun looked at Lu Hui in surprise, she hadn't seen Lu Hui smile for a long time, and then looked at Fangzheng, Fangzheng was even more pleasing to the eye! So Su Yun said: "There are still some side dishes at home, I'll make them, you continue to chat."

After speaking, Su Yun left.

Lu Hui looked at Fangzheng and said, "Master, as far as I know, the Buddhist Association should completely ban monks from asking for alms, right? What do you think about this?"

Fangzheng smiled and said, "Good thing."

"Uh... Since it's a good thing, why did you beg for it?" Lu Hui looked at Fangzheng puzzled.

Fangzheng looked at Lu Hui with a smile and said, "Benefactor, do you know the difference between alms and begging?"

Lu Hui frowned and said, "It's...about the same."

Fangzheng shook his head and said, "During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang divided the world into three, six or nine classes, among which beggars were the tenth class and the last class. Among the three religions and nine streams, beggars were also the last ones. From this we can see that the Chinese people are very serious about begging. Because begging is equal to getting something for nothing, people look down on them. Therefore, after Buddhism entered China, although Chinese people accepted Buddhism, they could not accept begging for alms, because they believed that begging was just begging.

However, begging is not the same as begging. The purpose of alms alms is not necessarily to get something, but to give monks an excuse to leave the monastery, blend into the world, and experience the various states of the world. How can one cultivate bodhicitta without being able to see all kinds of states in the world? How to become a Buddha?

Monks make good fortune by raising money and begging for food, so it is called alms. Karma has a reward, how can it be albino? "
