Chapter 35 Five machines, the ancient Buddha with blue lights, leaning on the railing to look at the
Hearing Huitong's words, Chu Yu was startled. When he looked at Qinglun Guoshi again, his heart was full of admiration. Regarding the origin of "Shuangkou Zen", Chu Yu heard Tie Quansheng say it and knew that Shuankou Zen was also called "Stop speech" or "forbidden speech" is one of the methods used by Buddhists to cultivate one's mind and body. Some eminent Buddhist monks believe that the reincarnation of all living beings is caused by the three karma of the body, speech, and mind. If these three karma are eliminated, By doing this, you can quickly achieve liberation. The main purpose of this closed-mouth meditation is that the practitioner does not speak, so as to reduce the verbal karma and achieve the purpose of eliminating the six roots of dust.
The "Diamond Sutra" says: "Being separated from all appearances is called Buddha." This is also the reason why the Buddhists have set down many precepts. Cultivation lies in cultivating the mind. The original intention of the clear precepts is not to make people be heartless and desireless, but to make people People rely on the four great non-existences, the five aggregates to be empty, and the six roots to be calm to calm their minds toward the Buddha, so that their minds are not blinded by ignorance.
Some virtuous Buddhists believe that all sinful karma is caused by six roots, such as eyes greedy for color, ears greedy for sound, tongue greedy for taste, etc. Many people say that the six roots are pure, and the six roots are pure - it is not that there are no six roots, but that the six roots are pure. The practitioner's physiological functions no longer follow the illusion of the external environment. This is the so-called spotlessness. Forbidden speech is the benefit of closed-mouth meditation. With less verbal karma, there will naturally be more mental karma, which strengthens the original mind. However, Buddhists are compassionate, and in addition to saving themselves, they also save others. There is a saying that medicine can cure diseases and Buddhas can save those who are destined. However, closed-mouthed meditation does the opposite and does not communicate with others. It is easy to practice meditation behind closed doors, and ultimately fall behind in terms of saving people. However, as a means of cultivation, meditation behind closed doors has unimaginable power.
The essence of Zen lies in cultivating the mind. The root of delusions lies in thoughts, thoughts and other mental behaviors - the sixth consciousness. The prohibition of speech is to keep the verbal precepts and is the training of the mind. Cultivating the mind can allow true ascetics to walk on the road of practice. It is further away, so there are monks who practice this way who say that even if they don't open their mouths, they will be the true Buddha and there's nothing they can do about it.
What surprised Chu Yu was that Master Qinglun had been practicing closed-mouth meditation for nearly fifty years.
What is the concept of fifty years? How many days and nights does it consist of? Chu Yu didn't count. When he was trapped in the cell, three days without speaking seemed like three years, but the Qinglun Imperial Master in front of him was able to persist. Fifty years later, thinking of the scene when Master Xuankong died that day, Chu Yu could hardly imagine what a shocking scene it would be if Grand Master Qinglun spoke in the future and used mantras to confront the enemy.
Only by being ruthless to yourself can you be truly ruthless.
Chu Yu said that he was like Grand Master Qinglun, so when he looked at Grand Master Qinglun, Chu Yu couldn't help but admire the old monk in front of him.
Looking at Chu Yu's admiring gaze, Grand Master Qinglun smiled at Chu Yu. As he grinned, the wrinkles on his face were superimposed on each other, making him look like a withered vine. Although Grand Master Qinglun's body was full of He smelled of aging, but looking at those shining eyes, Chu Yu could no longer regard him as an old monk.
Master, this is an absolute master. Chu Yu firmly believes that Qinglun Imperial Master's strength will be on par with Zhang Pifu no matter how weak he is. He doesn't know how he compares with Nie Guichen.
Buddhism is pure, Taoism is natural, there are three thousand avenues, and the world of mortals refines the heart.
Looking at the silent Chu Yu, Grand Master Qinglun made a few gestures to Huitong. Huitong nodded and asked about the circumstances of Master Xuankong's death. When Chu Yu said that Master Xuankong died, he actually called out the Eight Departments. Huitong, one of the heavenly dragons, Garuda, was shocked on the spot, while Grand Master Qinglun closed his eyes slightly and silently turned the rosary beads on his chest.
After hearing Chu Yu finish answering all the questions asked by Huitong, Grand Master Qinglun opened his eyes and faced Grand Master Qinglun's gaze. Chu Yu felt peaceful in his heart, as if the Grand Master Qinglun in front of him was no longer a moral person.
He was an eminent monk, but a kind elder. After struggling in his heart, Chu Yu decided to tell the last scene he saw when Master Xuankong died.
When Chu Yu said that the person who killed Master Xuankong was a monk, Huitong said it was impossible. After hearing Huitong's words, Master Qinglun glanced at Huitong, and Huitong clasped his hands and said "Amitabha"
, his expression returned to calm.
Grand Master Qinglun frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing that Grand Master Qinglun was silent, Chu Yu’s eyes fell on Grand Master Qinglun’s hand. Master Xuankong’s relics were as transparent as crystal. He didn’t know.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Chu Yu always felt that the relics exuded a faint halo in the hands of Grand Master Qinglun.
Although he only met Master Xuankong a few times, Chu Yu still saw the Buddha nature from Master Xuankong. Master Xuankong's compassionate heart can be seen from the heavens, but he died in the hands of a young man. I don't know.
Why, at this moment, Chu Yu suddenly thought of the saying that if a good person does not live long, it will harm the rest of the millennium.
Grand Master Qinglun lowered his head and was silent for a moment. He held the cremated relics of Master Xuankong and put them into his arms. Then he took off a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist and looked at the beads in his hand. Grand Master Qinglun faced
Chu Yu smiled and handed it over.
Seeing that Grand Master Qinglun was about to give the Buddha beads to Chu Yu, Huitong stepped forward and wanted to stop him, but was stared back by Grand Master Qinglun. Seeing Huitong's reaction, Chu Yu knew that Grand Master Qinglun was handing the beads to Chu Yu.
The Buddhist beads that came over should be very precious. Just when he was about to refuse, Master Qinglun did something to Huitong.
After seeing the gesture made by Grand Master Qinglun, Huitong looked a little helpless. He took two steps forward and took the Buddhist beads from Grandmaster Qinglun's hand and walked towards Chu Yu. When he came to Chu Yu, Huitong spoke.
He said: "The Imperial Master said that he would take back Master Xuankong's relics and give you a small gift. I hope you will accept it."
Saying that, Huitong put the Buddhist beads in Chu Yu's hand. Chu Yu had no choice but to put the beads away. Seeing Chu Yu bringing the beads to his hand, Huitong continued to speak: "This bracelet of Buddhist beads consists of eighteen beads.
Made of thousand-year-old agarwood, it has the function of refreshing and calming for ordinary people. If you are a monk...
..." At this point, Huitong glanced at the Qinglun Imperial Master and said with some distress: "The Imperial Master has been nourishing him all year round, and this bead is filled with yang energy and spiritual energy..." When Huitong said this, he was surprised by the Qinglun Imperial Master.
Interrupting and looking at Chu Yu, Master Qinglun smiled again, made a few gestures to Huitong and then closed his eyes.
"The Imperial Master said that he is destined to be with you, and welcomes you to the Wells Empire as a guest." Huitong glanced at the Imperial Master Qinglun as he said this: "The Imperial Master also said that before glory, there must be humility. Each of us must have this in our hearts.
Awe. In addition, in this world, many things will have a way of turning back, but there is no medicine for regret. Therefore, once you choose to practice, you must go on without hesitation."
After listening to what Huitong said, Chu Yu nodded. Although he had some practice questions that he wanted to ask Master Qinglun, but when he saw that Master Qinglun had closed his eyes, he stopped interrupting and stood up, clasping his hands and bowing.
After that, Chu Yu retreated.
When Chu Yu left, Huitong looked at the Qinglun Imperial Master who opened his eyes: "Grand Master, although this Chu Yu is good, why did you give him such a precious agarwood bead?"
Grand Master Qinglun glanced at Huitong, but did not answer. He stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window. Turning the rosary in his hand, he leaned on the railing and looked at the sky, revealing a self-mockery that the world would laugh at because I am too crazy, and others would not be able to see through it.
Smiling. Seeing that Grand Master Qinglun remained silent, Huitong didn't ask any more questions and followed Grand Master Qinglun to the window.
After a moment, Grandmaster Qinglun withdrew his gaze and looked at Huitong. Grandmaster Qinglun held his thumb in his palm with four fingers of each hand, and then held the index finger of his left hand in front of his chest with his right fist. Looking at Grandmaster Qinglun's gesture,
Huitong frowned: "You said Chu Yu is... how is that possible!"
