Chapter 155 Dharma in Daily Life
So Fangzheng made up his mind, no matter what, he just didn't want to go up!
But Fangzheng said: "Thank you for helping the poor monk, but the poor monk still refuses to participate."
"Abbot Fangzheng, there must be a reason for your refusal." Someone immediately asked unwillingly.
Fangzheng took it for granted: "As Master Xingyi said, the rules are the rules, how can it be abolished because of the poor monk? This quota is not up for grabs. What's more, the poor monk has read very few scriptures, and even less comprehends. There is nothing to say about it." Regarding this point, Fangzheng did not intend to hide it, it is not scary to be uneducated, and it is scary to be uneducated.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After so many years, this was the first time they met such a master. Usually everyone fights for it, but this time it's fine, and everyone refuses to persuade it. Could it be that there is no stock in the stomach? Embarrassed to go on stage? Are you still evading that you haven’t read the scriptures? You haven’t read the scriptures, how can you express such reasonable sentiments?
Even though they thought so, no one said so.
Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at Fangzheng became a little complicated. Some were relieved by Fangzheng's frankness, while others believed in Fangzheng, so they hated Fangzheng, an ignorant boy, and they all crossed the line. If you are in the river, can't you study Buddhism well?
Zen Master Baiyun spoke again: "Abbot Fangzheng, are you sure you want to give up?"
Fangzheng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, give up."
Zen Master Baiyun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Master Xingxing, it's up to you."
Hearing this, Yixing smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and said, "Disciple obeys."
Seeing this, Hong Jing was immediately overjoyed, and he still felt like he was in a dream until he walked up to the stage and gave a speech. In his opinion, there is absolutely no chance this time. How could Fangzheng give up on his own initiative? But Hongjing also thought a lot, looking at Fangzheng who was listening to the scriptures carefully, he muttered in his heart: "Is he really generous, or is there nothing in his stomach?"
On the stage, Yixing was talking about the "Avatamsaka Sutra"! What he can comprehend at this age is naturally limited, but Xingyi very cleverly avoided explaining the "Avatamsaka Sutra" as a whole, but proposed a point from it to explain.
"The poor monk recited the "Avatamsaka Sutra" day and night, and he felt quite enlightened. Especially the sentence 'one is many, and many is one' mentioned in the scriptures. People in the world are often deceived by the numbers in it, but they don't know You know, the one and many here represent not just numbers. They are one and ten thousand dharmas. From the heart to the heart, all dharmas are born..." The line spoke eloquently for a full twenty minutes, explaining the concept of one heart and controlling ten thousand dharmas very thoroughly.
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded, praised secretly, and even applauded from time to time. This was not treated by the abbots when they lectured.
When the party finished speaking and stood up to salute, the crowd gave thunderous applause!
Hongjing was even more excited, his hands were almost swollen from clapping.
The group was also very satisfied with the reaction of the monks below, but their eyes would more or less glance at Fang Zheng who was also applauding.
Zen Master Baiyun smiled and said, "Hongjing, you will have successors in Jinzhuan in the future."
Hongjing laughed loudly and said, "That's natural, that's natural..."
Seeing Hongjing smiling so happily, everyone also smiled knowingly. The previous debates are just debates. After the debate, we are still friends, and we are sincerely happy for Hongjing.
Zen Master Baiyun said to Xingxing again: "Xingxing, what do you have to say?"
The group clasped their hands together and said respectfully: "What the poor monk said is just personal understanding. The poor monk wants Abbot Fangzheng to give a comment or two."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned. No one expected that the party would make such a request. But then, everyone suddenly...
"This industry is good at being a man. This is to take this opportunity to let Fangzheng also go on stage to share his experience and become famous together."
"Bodhisattva has a heart, good understanding, and the future is limitless..."
...
Everyone only thinks that one party is to repay Fang Zheng's favor, but they don't know that one party's real thought is to explore Fang Zheng's depth again!
Fangzheng was dumbfounded, let him go up again? He hid for a long time, but in the end, the pot hit him again! He has heard and read the "Avatamsaka Sutra", but only a little. After all, there are fragmented information on the Internet, and it is too strenuous to read the entire scripture.
But what made Fangzheng gratified was, what was wrong with the party? I have to say that one is more, and more is one! This paragraph, Fangzheng was watching this paragraph at the time, and he also had some insights of his own. It's just that because he has read too few scriptures, he doesn't know whether his sentiments are correct. After all, his sentiments are all realized when he is on the mountain, looking at the mountains, water, and stones, not from the accumulation of scriptures. . I checked other people's sentiments on the Internet, and no one has the same feeling as him.
Therefore, Fangzheng is also a little bit uncertain.
Now that the party has forced their way to the door, Fangzheng has no choice but to bite the bullet.
Seeing that Fangzheng really took the stage, the party felt a little regretful, thinking: "Could it be that he really has the ability? However, even if he really has the ability, I am well-intentioned, and he can't blame me. If he has no ability, heh heh... me too It's just a holiday."
Fangzheng went up to the stage, bowed to Zen Master Baiyun, then folded his hands together, bowed to everyone, then sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "There is really no other way, the broken pot has been broken, close your eyes Let’s talk nonsense, if you succeed, there is nothing you can do about it.”
So Fangzheng said: "The poor monk has a different view on the "Avatamsaka Sutra" that one is many and many is one."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned, and they came up with different sentiments, this is to PK with a group! Immediately, one by one became energetic, wanting to see what Fangzheng could realize!
Fangzheng said: "The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering, but where is the suffering of all living beings? The Yizhi Temple where the poor monk lives is very remote, and there are only a handful of people who go up the mountain every year. The master of the poor monk went west by crane last year. The poor monk himself can only guard the empty monastery, to understand some things that he does not quite understand. Until one day, a wolf, a squirrel entered the life of the poor monk, and the poor monk suddenly realized! Very happy, squirrels are also full, and some play happily, carefree and leisurely every day. But people are different, people suffer when they are hungry, but they still suffer when they are full; they suffer without children. Children dislike tiredness and suffering... All living beings suffer, but beasts enjoy themselves alone? Why?
As Master Yixing said, all dharmas come from the heart, everything comes from the heart, and everything comes from the heart. There is only one heart, but the heart can evolve infinite troubles. Therefore, the Buddha said that one is many. And many is one. The poor monk believes that only by abandoning those troubles and turning thousands of troubles into a pure heart can we be truly liberated and gain great freedom! "
As soon as Fangzheng said this, everyone was dumbfounded, fell silent, and even shocked!
PS: Well, I saw someone calling for a monthly ticket to add a change, so let’s add it, 200 monthly tickets plus a change, embarrassing. I feel like I'm going to explode... It's almost 0:00, it's currently 2670, and the count will start tomorrow. The third watch of the leader, that's it.
