The door of Wang's Hotel in the distance was open, and apart from some messy footprints there were no human figures or sounds on the street. It looked like an empty shop in a deserted village.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Master Dingxian clasped her hands together and said, "It's really sad that the gamblers at the Wang Family Hotel were killed due to internal strife."
Cong Buqi's face turned red, but Cheng Buyou said loudly: "You are not a son of a man. You have harmed so many passers-by. You deserve to die. Where did you three come from and where are you going?"
?”
Master Dingxian said softly: "We are going back to Baiyun Nunnery, please help yourself."
With that said, Master Dingxian turned around first, and Dingjing also pulled Zheng Gui behind and returned to the tea shop.
Zheng Gui looked at Master Dingxian and seemed to be angry. He felt confused and asked Dingjing quietly: "Senior Sister, what's wrong with the Head Senior Sister?"
Master Dingjing sighed softly: "Just now we heard the commotion at Wang's Hotel and rushed over. We saw six people dead in the store. They were all killed by Cong Buqi. The boss and I tried hard to persuade them to give them mercy.
Please forgive me and don’t commit murder in vain, but they don’t take it seriously. It’s just gambling and making money, so why do you have to kill people?”
Zheng Gui suddenly realized and said: "It was Cong Buqi who was gambling with others. He didn't want to admit the loss when he lost, and he was afraid that the news would ruin his reputation, so he killed all his poker friends?"
Dingjing remained silent. Zheng Gui knew that what he said was true, and snorted coldly: "Nine out of ten gambles are cheats. I think what Buyou said may not be wrong. As for saying they kill people, as long as they don't hurt people for no reason, we can
There is no need to ask, Jian Zong is a drowned rat, a drowned dog, and a desperado, so why should we care?"
Master Dingxian suddenly stopped and said: "People of our generation put benevolence and righteousness first and compassion. How can we ignore death and not save others? Do we continue to see evil?"
Seeing that the head senior sister was really angry, Zheng Gui hurriedly bowed and said, "What the head senior sister is teaching me is that I didn't think enough about it."
After finishing speaking, Master Dingxian let out a long sigh and went back to the room.
Master Dingjing also sighed and left slowly.
Zheng Gui's heart was heavy, but he couldn't explain the reason. Instead, he was a little disapproving. He felt that the senior sister in charge was making a fuss out of a molehill. He was not a law enforcement officer, and he didn't know the details of the matter, so he was so thoughtful for no reason.
But when Zheng Gui, Dingxian and Dingjing went out on their way early the next morning, Zheng Gui saw with his own eyes the six bloody corpses that were carried out by the family members of the deceased. Hearing the constant crying in his ears, Zheng Gui suddenly felt that
My chest feels tight.
Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing stepped forward and recited the death mantra for the deceased for an hour, and then the three of them started on their way again. During this hour, Zheng Gui was thinking about people in the martial arts fighting for fame and wealth, and fighting and killing people.
, how to define good and evil in various behaviors, or whether to take care of it when you encounter it...
If the opponent's martial arts is not high enough, you can naturally control it at will, but what if the opponent's martial arts is higher than yours?
Zheng Gui originally joined the Hengshan sect in order to learn martial arts and teach his true nature, but when he really faced the test of his character, he was a little unsure.
Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing both saw that Zheng Gui was confused, but they didn't say anything and just walked on silently.
It wasn't until the three of them returned to Hengshan five days later that Master Dingxian looked at Zheng Gui, who had lost two pounds and still hadn't figured it out. She suddenly clapped her hands and shouted: "The light between the eyebrows shines in the east, and all the eight thousand lands are...
Like gold…”
Zheng Gui's expression paused when he heard the words, Master Dingjing also touched her palms and chanted: "In all worlds, there are six paths of living beings, the direction of life and death, good and evil karma, retribution and good ugliness, all of which can be seen here..."
Zheng Gui has practiced Buddhism and meditated for eight years. It seems that with the help of the Samsara Pearl, he has always been able to see the true meaning of Buddhism, but he has never been able to use it for his own purposes. He spends these days thinking about distinguishing good from evil.
And he gradually becomes obsessed with how he handles things. If he is not careful, all his previous efforts will be wasted, and he may even fall into the devil's path.
Because of this, Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing did not dare to help each other casually. Even when they arrived at Baiyun Nunnery, the two Masters only said the words of the Lotus Sutra, hoping to awaken Zheng Gui.
Zheng Gui repeated these two sutras in his mouth, and his eyes slowly became energetic. He looked at Dingxian with lightning eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "With eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, we can know external objects. However, good
Can the evil truth be known?"
Master Dingxian said loudly: "When you see what you see, you are confused about what you know, you lose yourself in things, and you lose your original intention."
Zheng Gui exclaimed that it was good, then bowed and asked again: "If you practice the Tao, you will inevitably have delusions of fame and fortune. How can you not be afraid between life and death?"
Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing looked at each other, paused with the Buddha beads in their hands, and said: "All living beings have come from beginningless time and gone to beginningless time. If their hearts are bright, how can they be afraid when they see the Tathagata?"
Zheng Gui put his hands together and said with a smile: "Young monk understands, my heart is bright and I am no longer afraid."
Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing laughed loudly, clapped their hands and said in unison: "That's good, that's good!"
Zheng Gui thought about it by himself for several days, and slowly integrated the Buddhist teachings he had practiced for several years with his own insights. At the most critical moment, Dingxian and Dingjing spoke up and enlightened him. He suddenly became enlightened and got rid of distracting thoughts.
Zheng Gui's heart was full of contentment, and he also knew that since he was a human being, he was also a member of all things in the world in the Buddhist scriptures. Naturally, he could not always see all the truth. However, no matter whether he could do the best and the right thing, as long as he was in his heart
If you are bright and follow the right path with compassion, you don't need to worry about delusions of life and death, fame and fortune.
The reason why people in the world look forward and backward, or act rashly due to desires, or do wrong things due to distracting thoughts, or forget the path due to fear, is because their hearts are not bright. Just like cattle and sheep, animals that have lost their skeletons naturally lose their shape, but their hearts are bright.
, that is, everything you see is golden, you have no regrets in what you do, and you are no longer afraid.
Now that Zheng Gui has reached this day, he has made a great breakthrough in his Buddhist cultivation, and he can finally be called a Zen master.
Master Dingxian handed the Buddhist beads in his hand to Zheng Gui and said: "Junior brother, you have discovered the view of life and death today. Everything you see in the future will be bright and everything you do will be righteous. We, the Hengshan Sect, will surely be able to flourish in your hands."
Zheng Gui did not refuse, took the sandalwood beads and recited a few lines of Buddhist scriptures, and then said: "A monk comes from the beginningless, goes to nothingness, practices the path he sees, and does not need to think about success. This is the true monk."
"Good, good!"
Dingxian and Dingjing held hands and laughed again, and then the three of them smiled at each other and entered Baiyun Temple hand in hand.
After Zheng Gui's enlightenment by chance, he finally understood the path he, a determined monk, wanted to take. He believed that what he understood through enlightenment was a consistent way of practicing life in the future, not an imaginary way.
He knows that he does not have a hard heart, but he has the determination to do things. I am afraid that what he will have to practice in the future is the way of compassion, because only with compassion will his heart be stable, bright, and free from distracting thoughts.
However, Zheng Gui also knew that to save the world, save evil deeds, and save others and save yourself, you need to have enough Dharma and strength, so after he enlightened, he practiced more diligently.
He even stayed in seclusion in Baiyun Temple for more than ten days. After the fourteen Chongmai acupoints were penetrated into six acupoints, and his internal strength improved again, he opened the door and went out, preparing to rest for a few days.
