Section 588

Lin Chen looked calm and said: "The eight sufferings of life are birth, old age, illness, death, travel, separation from love, not being able to ask for what you want, and the meeting of resentment and hatred. How can there be no self, no form, no desire, no pursuit?"

On the stone tablet buried in the abyss of gods, there are the words engraved by the Emperor Sakyamuni.

When Di Lingyuan heard this, he was slightly startled and said, "Fellow Taoist Wang Ye, have you ever been to Burying God Abyss?"

Lin Chen did not answer this question, but looked at Di Lingyuan and said, "I'm very curious, what is your relationship with Emperor Shizun?"

The name also contains the word "emperor", so the two are probably related in some way.

Di Lingyuan was silent for a few seconds.

Then he whispered: "He is my father! Back then he stepped into the Burial God Abyss and fell in love with my mother. I was born in the Burial God Abyss, so I was named Ling Yuan by him!"

Lin Chen looked at Di Lingyuan in surprise, but he didn't expect that there was such a huge origin.

The God Burial Abyss is a restricted area for countless people. It is not simple that Emperor Lingyuan was born from there.

However, Lin Chen was also someone who had seen strong winds and waves, so it was naturally impossible for him to be shocked by this.

He asked calmly: "So, people from the Buddhist sect can also get married?"

Di Lingyuan shook his head and said: "No! After my father broke the precepts, he spent his whole life in repentance. I don't know how many years passed before he returned to Burial God Abyss again, carved words on the stone tablet, and left this world forever. ”

Lin Chen looked at Di Lingyuan and said: "Without desires and pursuits, the four elements are all empty, and if you throw away all the seven emotions and six desires, can you become a Buddha?"

"this......"

Di Lingyuan was stunned for a second. After a moment, he pondered: "All appearances are false. Infinite light, color is empty. If divided, it will be reduced. If it is combined, it will become a Buddha!"

Lin Chen smiled lightly and said: "One flower and one world, one thought and one Bodhi, seven emotions, six desires and thirteen dharma, love, hate, evil, desire, greed, anger and ignorance, all originate from the original mind. The Buddha said that all living beings come from the beginning and are confused by themselves. , Therefore, knowing one’s original mind and obeying one’s original intention is the ultimate happiness. What’s wrong with that?”

"I....."

Di Lingyuan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

In the end, it turned into a repentant Amitabha!

"Fellow Daoist Wang Ye, the feast has not yet begun, and a senior would like to invite you to have a chat!"

A clear and cheerful voice sounded.

Fan Huiyin came over wearing a gray monk's robe. She was still wearing a veil, and her body exuded the holy Buddha's light, which made people dare not feel a trace of blasphemy.

The appearance of Fan Huiyin immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

Lin Chen looked at Fan Huiyin calmly and said, "Lead the way!"

"Please come with me!"

Fan Huiyin whispered.

Everyone watched Lin Chen leave and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Only a person like Wang Ye could treat them like Mount Xumi.

The Buddha's son welcomes the Buddha, and the Buddha's daughter leads the way? Haosheng majesty.

Mount Sumeru, Bodhidharma Academy.

It was quiet here, and an old monk was sweeping the floor. The bamboo broom and the blue and white slate made a rustling sound, adding a touch of life to the quiet place.

After Fan Huiyin brought Lin Chen here, he bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

The old monk was still sweeping the floor. There were no dead branches of wood leaves on the ground, but he still swept it carefully over and over again.

Lin Chen looked at the old monk calmly and said: "I dare to ask Master, there are no dead branches and leaves on the ground, why do you have to clean it over and over again?"

The old monk did not stop, waving his broom and whispering: "The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always be diligent and don't stir up dust."

Lin Chen said calmly: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust?"

"..."

The old monk was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Life in this world is like being among thorns. If the heart does not move, people will not move rashly. If they do not move, they will not be hurt. If the heart is moved, people will move rashly, which will hurt their bodies and bones. That's right. There are all kinds of suffering in the world; if you keep your mind pure, you can reach the path, just like grinding a mirror, the dirt will be removed and the light will remain."

Lin Chen said without comment: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. The Buddha said that the heart is like empty space and cannot tolerate anything. Master can't even tolerate instinctive desires. How can we talk about being calm and keeping one's mind? It shows that practice is not enough!"

The old monk was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "Buddhism is boundless, I am just a drop in the ocean, and there is no end to learning Buddhism and practicing it."

Lin Chen sighed: "There is no end to the sea of ​​suffering, but you will find the shore again. If you force yourself to ask for something when you know it is impossible, master, you have become a devil."

The old monk was silent for a moment, clasped his hands and said, "Donor Wang has such a deep understanding of Zen, which shows that he is destined to be my Buddha!"

Lin Chen shook his head and said: "Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Only when all sentient beings have survived can you realize Bodhi. If you want to save all sentient beings, you must first save yourself. Since the master has entered the devil, why not go to hell?"

"Amitabha!"

The old monk closed his eyes and kept reciting the Buddha's words silently. The beads in his hands kept colliding and making crisp sounds.

Click!

Suddenly, the beads broke, fell to the ground, and rolled around.

Lin Chen said in a deep voice: "Master, your Buddha mind has been confused and you have become a demon. Do you want to go to hell quickly?"

puff!

The old monk's body trembled and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the beads scattered on the ground, and said again: "Amitabha!"

Lin Chen said indifferently: "Master, the Buddha is in your heart, not in your mouth. Only by practicing Buddhism in practice can you reach the ultimate bliss. You don't even dare to enter hell, how can you become a Buddha? Or do you mean that your words and deeds are not consistent? There is Buddha in your mouth and Buddha in your heart. Hidden demon?”

"Good, good, good!"

The old monk looked complicated.

Lin Chen said lightly: "Master is more hypocritical than me!"

Chapter 620 Donor Wang is destined to be my Buddha

"Amitabha!"

The old monk clasped his hands together and looked ashamed.

Lin Chen said calmly: "Wang has a Buddha in his heart, but Master is not the Buddha I want to see, so please get out of the way!"

Squeak!

At this time, the door of an attic opened automatically.

The attic was extremely deep, like the mouth of a giant beast, with a devouring feeling, which made people feel inexplicably depressed.

"Donor Wang, please come in and talk!"

An old voice sounded in the attic.

The old monk took the initiative to get out of the way, and then continued sweeping the floor with a broom.

Lin Chen glanced at him indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, many wooden leaves fell to the ground...

Afterwards, Lin Chen walked towards the attic with his hands behind his back.

Da da da!

When he first stepped onto the threshold of the attic, a crisp sound of wooden fish sounded, followed by a mysterious force.

Lin Chen had no expression on his face as he stepped into the attic.

In the deep attic.

An old ape in cassock is tapping the wooden fish. The clear sound of the wooden fish makes people feel that the soul is sublimated and the whole body is comfortable.

"Donor Wang, please take a seat!"

The old ape whispered.

Lin Chen stood still and said calmly: "The wooden fish is too loud, but the master's voice is too soft!"

The old ape stopped beating the wooden fish and whispered: "Donor Wang, please take a seat."

Lin Chen looked indifferent and sat down casually in front of the old ape.

The old ape put down the wooden fish gently, and then looked at Lin Chen. His eyes flashed with golden light, like fiery eyes and golden eyes, mysterious and mysterious.

Lin Chen said with a calm expression: "Master, do you want to talk to me about Buddhism or use martial arts with me? If you talk about Buddhism, the Buddha's light will shine here, but if you use martial arts, you will go to hell!"

The old ape withdrew his gaze and whispered, "Donor Wang is destined to be my Buddha!"

Lin Chen asked calmly: "Is Master and Buddha destined?"

The old ape replied: "Wearing a cassock, banging wooden fish, and always accompanying the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, maybe it is because he is destined to be with the Buddha!"

Lin Chen said: "Wearing a cassock may be a layer of shackles; beating wooden fish may be because of distracting thoughts in the heart; often accompanying the ancient Buddha with a green lantern may mean that the body has no Buddha nature and wants to be touched by the Buddha's light. Therefore, the master's behavior It seems that he has no connection with Buddha.”

The old ape said: "There is a Buddha in my heart, the Buddha is in my heart!"

Lin Chen said: "If we don't distinguish between the real self, how can we talk about Buddha?"

The old ape said: "Buddha is a human body, Buddha is freedom, Buddha shows Buddha nature!"

Lin Chen said: "To put aside human nature and talk about Buddha nature is like a walking corpse. Master has gone astray!"

The old ape said: "The enlightened one is close to the Buddha! Cut off your obsessions and manifest Bodhi! See yourself in this way! Cut off your obsessions, and you will cut off the illusion, unattainability, and inhumanity!"

"Can a demon become a Buddha?"

Lin Chen asked lightly.

The old ape said: "Abandon your demonic nature and take refuge in my Buddha, then you can become a Buddha!"

Lin Chen said: "Devils have devil nature, Buddhas have Buddha nature, people have human nature, all things have unique nature, and all things can be unified in opposites. Buddha said that all living beings are equal. Giving up devil nature to achieve Buddha nature is like cutting off human nature and achieving devil nature. In this way, if the demonic nature persists, can one become a Buddha?"

The old ape shook his head and said: "Buddha nature, demon nature, and human nature are all different, and naturally cannot be converted!"

Lin Chen said: "So, what Master means is that Buddha nature is inhumane?"

"this......"

The old ape fell into silence.

He knew that Lin Chen had dug a big hole for him, but he still jumped into it.

Seeing that the old ape was silent, Lin Chen said indifferently: "Master invited me here, but he couldn't even bring out a cup of tea. Am I poor?"

The old ape said: "It's because I'm being negligent. Donor Wang, please wait a moment!"

Soon, the old ape made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lin Chen.
