Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

The temperature at the end of October is already very cold, the chilly wind keeps blowing, rolling up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground. The watery charm of spring and summer has long been lost, and winter is close at hand. There are four long-distance bus stations in the ancient city. Zhong Rui Xiaodan drove a police car to send Ding Yuanying to the North Long-distance Bus Station after 9:00 in the morning. Voice calls.Rui Xiaodan bought a ticket to Wutai County, and his seat was against the window.The bus was still more than 20 minutes away from the departure time. She was carrying Ding Yuanying's bag and was talking with him beside the car.

Rui Xiaodan said: "You can smoke a cigarette while you're in the car, you won't be allowed to smoke when you get in the car." Ding Yuanying lit a cigarette and said, "You have just been punished, and today you used the bus privately during work hours." Rui Xiaodan said: "It used to be out of line, but this time it was a piggyback. It's cold, and the temperature is even lower in the mountains. Don't forget to add clothes. Don't worry about carrying your mobile phone with you. If you need anything, you must tell me as soon as possible. I have already checked the calendar, today is September 19th of the lunar calendar, and it is the anniversary of Guanyin Bodhisattva's renunciation, so you should also get a little fairy spirit when you go out today."

Ding Yuanying smiled and said, "Why are you almost becoming a witch?" Rui Xiaodan said: "Yuanying, have you ever thought about it, if that stock doesn't make more than double the money, the amount of investment you set for Ouyang will be obviously high, and this will put pressure on her." Ding Yuanying said: "It is possible, but this possibility is very small, and it can be remedied." Rui Xiaodan asked: "How do you know that the stock can earn more than double the money? Why do you have to sell it in May next year? It is generally believed that the return of Hong Kong next year and the convening of the 15th National Congress are good news for the stock market."

Ding Yuanying said: "This issue is very complicated. There are many factors such as technology, system, and industrial structure. I can't explain it to you. This thing is a bit like Zen. Knowing is not knowing, and not knowing is not knowing." Rui Xiaodan said: "The counters of the bookstore are full of books teaching people to trade in stocks. How come you can't even talk about it." Ding Yuanying said: "Is there really a secret to making money that someone can tell you? If you can make money like that, you don't need to write a book." Rui Xiaodan nodded: "Yes."

Ding Yuanying said: "The return of Hong Kong is a political issue, an issue of national sovereignty, at least not an economic issue in the near future. The 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is to solve the basic strategic issues of politics and economy. Reform measures such as the restructuring of state-owned assets and the transformation of debt rights into equity are imperative. , there are both political economics and market economics. It is necessary to open a path for reform and break down the pain of reform. At this time, the stock market is true and false, with ups and downs. The black hand of the banker also has to keep an eye on the sharp knife of the yamen, you have to use your chopsticks when the wolf has meat in its mouth, and you have to withdraw before the yamen draws the knife."

Rui Xiaodan smiled and said, "I don't even understand anymore, I feel a chill down my back." The two were talking by the side of the car, and the time passed quickly.When the train was about to leave, the conductor shouted again: Wutai's shuttle bus is leaving soon, those who have bought tickets, get on the bus quickly, and those who haven't bought tickets, hurry up and get on the train. Rui Xiaodan handed the bag to Ding Yuanying, watched him sit down on the seat, and watched the bus leave the long-distance bus station. Mount Wutai is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is located in Wutai County and is surrounded by five peaks. The five peaks are towering and the peaks are flat and wide.

The distances between Beijing, Gucheng, and Wutai are almost the same, approximately an equilateral triangle.Han Chufeng had been to Mount Wutai twice before, but both were summer vacation trips, but this time the meeting with Ding Yuanying was different, the intention was to visit the master to talk about scriptures and Taoism.For this trip to enlighten Buddhism, he turned down all the work at hand, drove a Mitsubishi Jeep off-road vehicle to Wutai County alone, and waited for Ding Yuanying's shuttle bus at the last national highway toll station from Gucheng to Wutai County. Han Chufeng waited at the toll booth for more than ten minutes. At 2:40 in the afternoon, the bus from Gucheng to Wutai arrived at the toll booth. Ding Yuanying got off the bus and shook hands with Han Chufeng who came up.Farewell to Beijing, the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so meeting at a road toll station in Wutai County today is naturally very cordial.

Ding Yuanying put the travel bag into the back seat of the jeep, did not close the door, but stood beside the door, lit a cigarette, and took a real drag. He hadn't smoked for 5 hours. Han Chufeng said: "Let's smoke in the car, we have to find a place to eat first." Ding Yuanying said: "You don't need to look for it. Xiao Dan said that he would recruit thieves with you and not let him eat on the side of the road. He specially prepared some sesame seed cakes. There are road police waiting here, so eat here." Take out a small plastic bag containing a few biscuits and two airtight bottles from the travel bag and put them on the back seat. The bottles contain thinly sliced ​​beef and tea (and bird) eggs respectively, and then take out A pair of disposable chopsticks and several bottles of mineral water.After taking the food, he took out a portfolio, a pen and a box of red printing ink from his bag, and handed them to Han Chufeng.

Han Chufeng took the file bag and took a look at the "Agreement on Ouyang Xue's Mortgage and Loan from Han Chufeng". of ink. Ding Yuanying sat next to Han Chufeng with the car door open, put the two documents together with the pen and red printing ink back into the travel bag, and said apologetically: "When Gucheng borrows money, you will be tighter in the past few months." Han Chufeng took out a biscuit, put beef and tea (and bird) eggs in the biscuit, and said: "I have been here for many years, and the debts and debts are a pot of porridge. I can't talk about loosening up. The one-eight-million It can be freed up anyway. I know about Chen Ru taking money from you, and I’m sorry for making you poor enough to sell records.”

Ding Yuanying said, "Who told you?" Han Chufeng chewed the biscuits, and said, "Don't tell me if you have any difficulties, there must be a place where you need to avoid suspicion. I can't think of anyone else who can make you stay here except me. To avoid suspicion, it’s not obvious. But this time you are not human, Chen Ru said that you deliberately embarrass her, haha..." Ding Yuanying also smiled and said: "Take a message to my sister-in-law. I am not careful in handling things, so I apologized to her." Han Chufeng handed a small black leather bag on the back seat to Ding Yuanying, and said: "The money is in the bag, a total of 200,000. I brought an extra 100,000 and prepared 4 document bags. 50,000 yuan knocks on a door." , more than 100,000 will give you two more chances. If even knocking on the four doors is the master who recognizes money but does not recognize people, our trip will be in vain. Buddhas are also human beings. Nowadays, monasteries are busy making money. Really There are not many eminent monks who can calm down and practice Buddhism."

Ding Yuanying threw away the cigarette butt, took out a document bag from the black leather bag, put 10,000 yuan worth of cash into it, put five stacks aside for later use, and then also put a sesame seed cake in his pocket, saying: "When you arrive at the Buddhist site, you will have more money." Say it's random." Han Chufeng felt uncomfortable eating in the car, so he got out of the car, walked back to the car door where Ding Yuanying was sitting with sesame seed cakes in one hand and mineral water in the other, leaned on the car door and said, "You came to the ancient city to try to be quiet, why are you talking to me?" A bunch of enthusiasts got involved? It also caused a lot of poverty alleviation." Ding Yuanying opened a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and said, "Xiaodan wants a gift, so this is what happened. Wangmiao Village is a poor village in a poor county, and the gift Xiaodan wanted was to write to her in Wangmiao Village. a myth." Han Chufeng was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to chew. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Myth? This kind of gift is unheard of. What is her relationship with this village?" Ding Yuanying sat in the car facing the car door, swallowed a mouthful of biscuits and said, "It has nothing to do with the village, or with consciousness or realm, but it has something to do with the term cultural attribute. In her words, since the poverty of Wangmiao Village is cultural The product of cultural attributes, if a myth changes the village, how can cultural attributes be understood?" Han Chufeng was stunned again, thinking about it and said: "This is the Zen mechanism. This girl is not simple!" Ding Yuanying said: "What kind of myth? It's just a powerful act of killing the rich and helping the poor. It just takes a look at the edge of the well. If the problem of hematopoiesis is not solved, who dares to take a farmer from a village to prove the result of taking a look at the edge of the well? Then It’s not a mistake, it’s a sin. If the truth is made by people, it’s not called truth anymore, it’s called doctrine.” Han Chufeng asked: "Since killing the rich and helping the poor, who do you kill? And who do you help?" Ding Yuanying did not answer directly, but asked: "Have you heard of Lesheng Company?" Han Chufeng said: "Lesheng Company is the leading brand of Hi-Fi audio in China. The head of the company is Lin Yufeng, a famous player in the audio industry. It is said that he started his business by smuggling electrical appliances in his early years, and he is very familiar with the black and the white." Ding Yuanying said: "Lesheng Company has 64 million assets, has never been involved in AV audio, and has a 17% share in the Hi-Fi audio market. Lesheng Company claims that it only has a spear, no shield, and is always attacking and attacking. It is a domineering A full-fledged audio company, someone on the Internet gave Lesheng's flagship speaker a quack name, Dugu Qiubai." With an incredulous expression on Han Chufeng's face, he said cautiously: "To kill the rich and help the poor, you have to find a big family with some meat. But with your one million yuan in funds, a few enthusiasts and a bunch of farmers waiting to help the poor, is it possible?" ?” Ding Yuanying said: "Lesheng doesn't need a shield because of the sharpness of his spear. I have neither spear to attack nor shield to defend here, so I can only borrow Lesheng's spear. I think, setting up a stall in Beijing, using The three cities of Berlin, London, and Paris act as nurseries, let Slack Company act as a thug, let the courts and the media make a fuss, let Earl Electronics fall into the trap, and it is possible to get some luck from Lesheng Company. The core lies in one In terms of small cleverness, if the article of small cleverness is done well, it can induce the great wisdom of Lesheng Company, and what lurks in the little cleverness is the great wisdom that is as stupid as it is.” Han Chufeng ate in silence. After a long silence, he said anxiously: "Private equity funds are like a wolf's mouth, but this time it's bloody. Lesheng Company is Lin Yufeng's private enterprise. Can he let you go?" Ding Yuanying said: "The barefoot splashed the mud on the shoes. Although Lin Yufeng was defeated, the benevolent will have his own judgment. If he kills me because of this, he will have to set up a tablet without writing for himself. Everything he writes is shabby. This kind of business of entrusting a memorial tablet to an enemy with a poor name after death is impossible for anyone with a little brain. If it really kills me, I will just let it go." Han Chufeng knew what was in his mind, and stopped worrying about it. After eating the biscuits, he drank a few sips of water. Seeing that Ding Yuanying was almost finished eating, he got into the car and prepared to start the car.Ding Yuanying put the remaining bite of biscuit into his mouth, packed up the things in the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat, both of them lit a cigarette after dinner, and drove on the road. Han Chufeng drove the car and said: "This dish is not something everyone can eat. If you grab the edge of the well and look at it before you fall, you will really feast your eyes, suffer from greed, and fall into hell again. " Ding Yuanying said: "Therefore, this matter has to be split into two parts: the fancier's company and the farmers' production. Several shareholders are allowed to pick up the edge. I can't save them by giving them a chance to expect the pie to fall from the sky, what I can do is to make them accept the survival concept of the market economy in a way, and the only ones who can save them are themselves." Han Chufeng pondered for a while and said, "You are dealing with farmers on their land. If farmers are not included in the company's unified management, how will product quality and cost be controlled? How will conflicts of interest be resolved?" Ding Yuanying said: "I can't control it. If I control it, I will die. I won't even have a chance to solve the problem." Han Chufeng was puzzled and asked, "How?" Ding Yuanying said: "Farmers produce, farmers have to squeeze out of the house where they eat and sleep, they have to breathe the poisonous gas of paint and the harmful dust of milling and grinding, and they have to listen to all kinds of production noise. There are labor hours, child labor and The problems of elderly workers include social insurance, labor protection and environmental pollution... What can farmers fight for? What they fight for is to do jobs that are not done by people in places where people don't stay, and what they fight for is not people. If they are included in the company, The company can't live in the face of the legal provisions for a day, and the farmers will come to me right away and tell me that it's too crowded to sleep here, and it's uncomfortable to work there. All conflicts will be passed on to conflicts between farmers and the company. At that time, it is not a product The problem of quality and cost is the problem of how to serve the good master." Han Chufeng said: "It makes sense to fall into the pit as soon as you manage it. But if you don't care about it, it will be a mess." Ding Yuanying flicked the cigarette ash out of the car window and said: "Farmers are not monolithic. If there is no one contradiction, there will be another contradiction, driven by interests, let them fight on their own, and use small peasant consciousness to control small peasant consciousness." Han Chufeng asked: "What kind of treatment?" Ding Yuanying said: "A small-scale peasant economic business relationship is implemented among the farmers in each process. The professional households who polish the boards buy rough boards from the professional households that sell raw materials. The households that spray paint buy putty boards from the households that grind the boards. Transactions, one link controls the other, whoever has a problem bears the loss, and does not affect other people's profits. Allow them to have a process of producing defective products and quoting high prices, let the market correct them, and use economic leverage to solve quality and cost problems. This This is not suitable for the academic style of play, and this is my low-level wild style." Han Chufeng nodded lightly, and said: "There is no law, but existence determines consciousness. There is a way." ... They chatted all the way and drove to Wutai Mountain. When they arrived at the entrance of Wutai Mountain, they paid 80 yuan per person to enter the mountain, and continued to walk up the mountain along the mountain road.There are not many tourists coming to Mount Wutai this season. The temperature gets lower the further you go up the mountain, and the looming temples can be seen in the mountains and mountains. A Tathagata's hand that manipulates all joys and sorrows in the dark. The car drove along the mountain road, and encountered several temples along the way, all of which were bypassed due to the inconvenience of vehicles. It was not until near the peak that it finally encountered a temple with a flat road and easy parking. The name of the temple is "Yichan Temple". There is a tourist bus parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the temple, and there are a few idle tourists. Yichan Temple is built on the mountain. It is a small-scale temple. The bell tower in front of the gate is majestic and magnificent, with the architectural style of the Mid-Tang Dynasty.The two thick wooden doors are covered with copper nails. Facing the gate in the yard is a huge ancient locust tree, which is now leafless and bare, and only the vigorous tree tells people the vicissitudes of time.Behind the temple, there is a steep stone ladder road up the mountain. The long stone steps extend upward like a winding ribbon, gradually disappearing in the lingering clouds. Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng got out of the car and came to the monk guarding the gate. Ding Yuanying said politely: "Excuse me, Master. We came to Wutai Mountain to hope to have the opportunity to visit a master with profound Buddhist knowledge. Please give me some guidance." The monk who guarded the gate replied: "Amitabha! The abbot Zhixuan of this temple is the master of profound Buddhist attainments that the benefactor said. The master lives in seclusion and does not go out to study Buddhism easily. If the benefactor visits the temple, please buy tickets to enter. If you visit the eminent monk, please go to other places. Temple visits, all temples are presided over by eminent monks. Amitabha!" Ding Yuanying handed the document bag containing 50,000 yuan in cash to the gatekeeper monk, and said, "Master, please give this to Master Zhixuan, and say that there are two guests who sincerely ask to see you." The gatekeeper monk took the document bag and bowed with one hand, said "Please wait a moment, benefactor", and went in to report. After a while, he came back with the document bag and handed it back to Ding Yuanying, saying, "Master, answer, no." In front of the gatekeeper monk, Han Chufeng took out another 50,000 yuan in cash from the black leather bag in his hand, took the document bag from Ding Yuanying's hand, put the money in it, handed it to the gatekeeper monk again, and said, "Master, please inform me again." .” The gatekeeper monk took the document bag and bowed with one hand, said "Please wait a moment, the benefactor" and went in to report again. After a while, he came back with the document bag and handed it back to Han Chufeng, saying: "Master replied, no, no .” There is an extra 50,000 yuan, and the exchange is only one more: no. Even the 100,000 yuan pilgrimage would not allow him to meet the master, so Han Chufeng lost his mind for a while.At this time, Ding Yuanying took out an ordinary envelope from his bosom and handed it to the doorkeeper monk again, saying: "Master, please work hard and give this to the master. If the master still refuses to receive it, we will not bother you." The gatekeeper monk hesitated for a moment, but took the envelope and went in. Only Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng were left at the door.Han Chufeng asked in puzzlement, "What trick?" Ding Yuanying said: "The poem I made up is not Zhao'er's Zhao'er, so let it be." This time the doorkeeper monk took a long time to go in, and came back empty-handed after a while, but the envelope in his hand was gone, which seemed to be a hopeful message.Sure enough, the gatekeeper monk came over and said, "Two benefactors, please come with me." The gatekeeper monk led the way and led the two into the temple. When passing through the Great Buddha Hall, they saw a golden Buddha sitting on the central table of the hall, surrounded by some Buddhist instruments, and burning incense in front of the Buddha.After leaving the Great Buddha Hall, we turned a few turns to Mingxin Pavilion. The interior of the house is paved with green bricks, and the furnishings are simple. The wooden tables and chairs show an old color. Standing near the door is an old man in his 60s wearing gray monk robes. He is not tall, thin, with a gray beard on his chin. The gatekeeper monk respectfully introduced: "This is Master Zhixuan." Then he folded his palms together and bowed to Master Zhixuan and said in a low voice, "I will leave." Then he bowed to the guests and then left. Master Zhixuan said, "Two benefactors, please sit down and talk." The house of Mingxin Pavilion is not very big. There are some Buddhist calligraphy and paintings on the surrounding walls. There is an old-fashioned square table and 4 wooden chairs in the middle of the room. Three people sit around the table. on the envelope.Master Zhixuan gently pushed the letter paper and envelope forward, and said: "Dare to ask the benefactor what is the real scripture? If you don't get the real scripture in your practice, what will you practice?" Han Chufeng didn't know the content of this poem, so he took it and read it, and it said—— realize When you realize the Tao, stop talking about the destiny, Do not take the scriptures for practice. One sad, one happy, one dry, Which previous life is doomed? The cassock is not pure at all, The world of mortals is untainted and empty. The millennium bell of the ancient temple, It's all a fool's dream. Han Chufeng immediately understood why master Zhixuan asked such a question. The difference was that the master had an answer in his heart, but he had no answer in his heart. He really asked in his heart: what is the scripture?What else is there to practice if one does not acquire the scriptures?He felt that words such as "Stop talking", "Don't take", and "Idiots talking about dreams" in the words were too intense and inappropriate.But at this time, he was more concerned about how Ding Yuanying answered this question, or he wanted to know the answer to this question. Ding Yuanying replied: "It is reasonable for the master to question the younger generation, but the younger generation dares to speak nonsense. The so-called scriptures are the ultimate method that can reach the nirvana and nirvana. It can be understood but not cultivated. To become a Buddha is to seek. To be enlightened is to understand. The nature lies in the knowledge. Cultivation is to control the nature, and enlightenment is to practice the nature. The enlightened one produces the law from the heart, and the practitioner uses the law to control the heart. Those who do not fall into the evil fruit have faith but no evidence. Birth and death. Those who are not ignorant of cause and effect live without abiding, have no desires and no desires, have no precepts and all precepts, such is Nirvana." Master Zhixuan asked with a smile, "If you don't want to become a Buddha, then what is Buddhism?" Ding Yuanying said: "Buddha is enlightenment, not human beings. Everyone has enlightenment, which does not mean enlightenment is human. Human appearance can be destroyed, awareness has no birth and death, and it is manifested when it is awakened, and it is blocked by dust. It is not manifested, and the obstacle is Nirvana. The Buddha who is enlightened and perfect is the Buddha of the human form of Buddhism. When he is perfect, he stops, that is, he is not infinite. If the Buddha has quantity, he is not Amitabha. There is no dissatisfaction, and there is no name for ultimate perfection. The younger generation personally thinks that Buddhism is divided into stages. From the deepest point of view, it is the Taoism that can be achieved naturally. The Taoism Tathagata is inconceivable, which is not culture. The doctrine of goodness, good and evil are human, self, and sentient beings, that is, culture. From the perspective of sentient beings, greed is used to control greed, and illusions are used to control illusions. Although it does not destroy and corrupt, it does not hinder the comfort of the soul. mercy." Master Zhixuan said: "The donor's writing and words are definitely not from the Buddhist sect. The donor does not stick to the scriptures. It is very rare to achieve this level of self-enlightenment. From the perspective of the poor monk, the donor has already stepped on the threshold of Taoism." , It is only one step away from attaining the Tao, entering the pure land, retreating to the mundane world, but this step is as difficult as ascending to the sky." Ding Yuanying said: "Thanks to the master's teaching, I am ashamed! Ashamed! There is a word 'fate' in Buddhism. If I stand on the threshold of my relationship with the Buddha, it will be the end. I can’t get through the narrow door. Compared with the Buddha, I can’t get the Tao. I can see clearly from that poem, I pretend to be gentle, but I show my disposition, and the word “anger” is full of paper. Today I come Buddhists visit the master purely, just to seek peace of mind." At this time, a young monk came in and bowed respectfully to Master Zhixuan, saying: "Master, everything is ready." After speaking, he turned and retreated. Master Zhixuan stood up and said, "Two benefactors, please come to the Mingxiang Pavilion to have a talk." Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng followed Master Zhixuan out of Mingxin Pavilion, turned left and walked through a long corridor, and came to a room named "Mingxiang Pavilion".Mingxiang Pavilion is much bigger than the Mingxin Pavilion just now. When you enter the door, you will see a banner hanging on the wall, with four chic and elegant characters "clean and comfortable" written on it.Under the banner are brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and a Go board made of rosewood, on which are two boxes of chess pieces.On the north wall of the room is a coffee table made of natural strange rocks. On the stone surface are tureen tea sets and tea pots. There are several tree root stools around the coffee table. Next to the main seat is a charcoal stove and a wooden bucket filled with water. There is a copper pot on the stove, and the water in the pot is almost boiling, and the humming sound can be heard. Master Zhixuan stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, two benefactors." After the guests were seated, Master Zhixuan asked, "The benefactor knocks on the door with money. What if the poor monk accepts the money?" Han Chufeng replied: "Let's go. If it is something that money can buy, there is no need to worship Buddha." Master Zhixuan suddenly smiled, put tea leaves into the tureen bowls, picked up the steaming copper pot, poured boiling water into the 3 tureen bowls one by one, covered the bowls and said: "This is tea made in the temple. The water is spring water from the mountain. , ask the two benefactors to taste it." Ding Yuanying lifted the lid of the bowl, and a scent of mountains and fields came to his nostrils. The tea soup in the bowl was light green, and the tea leaves at the bottom of the bowl were in beautiful shape.He took a sip from the tea bowl and couldn't help saying: "Good tea." Han Chufeng took a sip of the tea and realized that the quality of the tea was definitely not ordinary. This situation made him feel emotional, and he couldn't help but think of the phrase "Sit, please sit, please take a seat; tea, serve tea, serve good tea" couplets. Master Zhixuan put down his tea bowl, and said: "The almsgiver did not go up the mountain to practice Buddhist principles. If you have something to do, you may as well tell me. Although the poor monk is old and incapable of learning, he still does it by chanting 'Amitabha Buddha'." Therefore, Ding Yuanying briefly explained to Master Zhixuan the ins and outs of "myth", "poverty alleviation" and what he has done and will do, and focused on explaining the subjective "killing the rich and helping the poor" and thinking about cultural attributes.Obviously, this is no longer a simple market competition, nor a simple poverty alleviation, but a self-action based on a social and cultural understanding. Master Zhixuan pondered for a long time after listening, and said: "The benefactor has a chance of winning, and he must also take into account the situation after he succeeds. It will inevitably lead to condemnation and scolding by people of insight. How can the way of salvation be to kill?" Rich and poor?" Han Chufeng asked casually: "Then what is the way of salvation?" Master Zhixuan was stunned by this question, and suddenly understood Ding Yuanying's intention of "killing the rich and helping the poor" and the reason for peace of mind, and said: "If you throw a stone into the water, there will be ripples even if there is no wave. The trick is to help the poor. When a man of insight scolds you as worse than a robber, the scolder is to be blamed for a diagnosis. If a diagnosis is not cured, it is tantamount to being diagnosed as terminally ill. It is not the work of people with lofty ideals, and they cannot bear this greater infamy. Therefore , Responsibility must be discussed." Ding Yuanying said: "The younger generation thinks that the deadlock of traditional concepts lies in the word 'reliance', relying on parents at home, relying on friends when going out, relying on God, Bodhisattva, and the emperor's grace... In short, you can rely on anything, but don't rely on yourself. This is a problem of cultural attributes that has been accumulated for thousands of years, and it can only be enlightened after a few New Culture Movements. The younger generation has no intention of commenting on the Fa, but just pushes the boat along the way that has already happened, and shouted twice in the voice of a hero, at least It does not violate the law of heaven." Before Han Chufeng came to Wutai Mountain, he only knew that Ding Yuanying was going to visit the eminent monk and great virtue, and he would talk about scriptures and Taoism, but he didn't know the specific purpose of Ding Yuanying's worship of Buddha, and he didn't fully understand until then. Master Zhixuan said: "Using the enlightenment of the benefactor, the heart is the heart, so how can we seek peace of mind?" Ding Yuanying said: "It is the Buddha who has no repentance and no shame. The younger generation is just an ordinary person. He just knows a few words and has no realization. I know that people will scold me. I thought the Buddha would not scold me. Yes. The juniors think that it is not true that they will not be scolded. Why is the master a master? I thought he was an enlightened one who spoke on behalf of the Buddha." Master Zhixuan thought for a while, and said: "The poor monk is a person who studies Buddhism, and he must not speak for the Buddha, nor is he a master. Since ancient times, people with lofty ideals have their own opinions, and a hundred schools of thought contend. 'The word is only based on the principle of cultivation and realization, so I send four words to the benefactor: great love or no love." Ding Yuanying clasped his palms together and performed a Buddhist salute respectfully to Master Zhixuan, saying, "Thank you, Master!" Master Zhixuan said: "There is no way for the weak to be saved. A society without competition will have no vitality, and competition will inevitably produce rich and poor, and ranks. This is the way of heaven and the inevitable price of social progress. There is no weakness, there is no strength. ? A word 'strong', weak already in it. Therefore, Buddha saves the heart from suffering, and what he cultivates is a normal heart." Han Chufeng did not participate in the conversation because he did not understand the situation before.At this time, after listening to Master Zhixuan's words, I felt emotional, and said: "Buddhism advocates the equalization of benefits and equality. The master frankly admits that rank is the way of heaven and the price, regardless of the views of the sect, which makes the younger generation very admired. The younger generation is thinking, if the strong is open and legal It is possible to kill and plunder under any circumstances, so how much room is there left for the weak under the conditions of non-disclosure and illegality? Although Buddha's heart is suffering and merciful, people still have a material side after all." Master Zhixuan smiled at Han Chufeng and said, "Donors don't need to be formal, please tell." Han Chufeng said: "It may be more positive if the mainstream culture can establish a link between the social needs of the disadvantaged groups who expect unconventional acquisitions and the powerful groups' expectation of higher life value. It is not enough for the powerful groups to apply the general rules of competition. , mainstream culture should put forward higher requirements for strong morality, build a strong cultural system, and endow powerful groups with higher life values. Of course, this is based on inequality as a prerequisite.” Master Zhixuan said: "Benefits and equality are equal, and inequality is already in it." Han Chufeng said: "Mainstream culture should be the culture that promotes social progress and improves social relations. If human behavior is first of all political or religious needs, then this value is undoubtedly first of all political or religious values. When society will When moral values ​​are all locked in political culture and religious culture, personal morality has no room for value, which is neither conducive to encouraging the strong to pay attention to the weak, nor conducive to the transformation of the overall moral quality of society from quantitative to qualitative." Master Zhixuan said: "The donor's point of view is not contradictory to the idea of ​​Buddhism. The difference is that the donor believes that the mainstream culture should give the strong individual a certain amount of moral value space. The poor monk believes that no matter which family's account the merits are recorded, the weather will be good. , the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people will be the blessings of all sentient beings.” Han Chufeng said: "It's just that hierarchy has always been a forbidden zone in our social culture. Everyone carefully circumvents the forbidden zone because they are afraid that things like equality and dignity will be hurt." After drinking a course of tea, Master Zhixuan refilled everyone with a round of boiling water, smiled broadly at Ding Yuanying, and said: "Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are the three major systems of Chinese traditional culture. If the benefactor goes all the way, none of them will be spared. Hahaha……" Ding Yuanying said: "Don't dare, dare not. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all broad and profound schools. They have supported the Chinese nation through thousands of years of civilization. They are great civilizations. However, society is developing. After all, traditional culture is based on The culture that presupposes the mighty kindness of the emperor, talks about the principles of emptiness, inaction, and the mean, and seeks to survive and seek solutions by suppressing individuality. Today's society has developed into a market economy of democracy and the legal system, and the theories of various schools are also facing a truthful observation. The subject of continuous improvement is tradition? Or inheritance? Tradition is dead, inheritance is prosperity." Master Zhixuan said: "The benefactor has not spoken freely, it is not good. The sea is open to all rivers, even if the benefactor is a drop in the ocean, I, the Buddha, would like to gather and merge it. Today, if there is a predestined relationship, I should ask the benefactor to be open and honest, so as to benefit from the Buddhist principles." Ding Yuanying said: "The younger generation admires the dialectical thinking of the ultimate truth of Buddhism, which is so inconceivable. However, the younger generation thinks that Buddhism includes Buddhism, and Buddhism is different from Buddhism. Buddhism uses Buddhism to prove the one, and then proves the ultimate. Ultimately, it is to find a place for the heart. The reason for not suffering, becoming a Buddha, immeasurable life, and bliss. Buddhism uses false and real methods to live in blessings, life, and fruit. The weak cultural characteristics of superstition, fate, and greed have already blocked the Buddhadharma. The younger generation thinks that if Buddhism can get rid of its own obscurations according to the Buddhadharma, and can not be limited to personal liberation, with the inconceivable ultimate productivity and the truth of civilization in the Buddhadharma, then the Buddhadharma can be achieved. Buddhism is the Buddhism that breaks away from religion, and becomes the Mahayana testament to the enlightenment of all beings, and it is known as the universal salvation of all beings.” Master Zhixuan was silent, looked at Ding Yuanying quietly, and sighed sadly after a long time: "Those who gain wisdom gain wisdom, beg for fortune, burn incense, and sit in meditation." Ding Yuanying reconciled: "Everyone does what they can, and each takes what they need." Master Zhixuan said: "The two benefactors, please follow me." Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng followed Master Zhixuan to the desk, and saw Master Zhixuan spread out a piece of rice paper one foot square on the desk, put Ding Yuanying's poem next to it, dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote—— Only by enlightenment can one know destiny Practicing to learn the truth One life one perishes one withered glory all destined After finishing writing, Master Zhixuan put down his pen and said: "This 'heaven' is not that 'heaven', neither is the heaven of ignorance of all living beings, nor is it the destiny of ignorance of all living beings. '. Practice does not fall into evil results. Although there is faith but no evidence, there is no evidence and enlightenment. It is already progress. The sutra that can make the delusional progress is the truth, and the truth must be obtained. There is no difference between sorrow and joy. When you come, you will come, when you go, you will go, everything is predestined by cause and condition, follow your heart, force, and fate.” Master Zhixuan changed "Xiuyan" into "Fangzhi" in the original sentence, changed "Don't" into "wu" in the original sentence, and changed "sorrow and joy" into "life and death" in the original sentence. ", change the original sentence "Which previous life" to "All have karma".The change of the nine words, although the principle is the same, but the meaning, artistic conception, and spirit are completely different, that is, to eliminate anger and self-arrogance, and to point directly to the end. Han Chufeng nodded in admiration after seeing it, and said, "Exquisite! The realm of nine characters can be proved without evidence." Ding Yuanying once again performed a Buddhist ceremony respectfully to Master Zhixuan, saying: "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment." Master Zhixuan gave the revised nine-character poem to Ding Yuanying, and said: "The relationship between the poor monk and the benefactor has come to an end today. If the nine characters of the poor monk are not true, I hope the benefactor can correct them. If the benefactor wants to change the lower tie on a certain day in a certain year, if he does not give up, he can bring the changed lower tie to complete the continuation of the half tie.” Ding Yuanying said: "Thanks to Master for not giving up, definitely." The three returned to their seats and continued drinking tea. Master Zhixuan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, put it down, and said, "The benefactor has three qi in the middle." Han Chufeng was puzzled and asked, "Which three qi?" Master Zhixuan replied: "Three points are calm, three points are noble, and three points are murderous." Han Chufeng's heart trembled when he heard the sound, no one could understand Ding Yuanying better than him, and this was Ding Yuanying's true character.He marveled at the master's power of observation, and asked: "Ten points of energy, how about one point?" Master Zhixuan said: "There is still a qi living in the body, wandering outside the heart-ruffian qi." Han Chufeng blurted out a word: "Absolutely!" ... While talking, a middle-aged monk came to Mingxiang Pavilion, stood at the door with palms together, and said to Master Zhixuan, "Master, Master Huiming from Dajue Temple has arrived." Master Zhixuan nodded, and said to Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng: "The almsgiver will wait a moment, and the poor monk will come as soon as he goes. You can go to the backyard first. The scenery is very good. Don't leave today, and have a fast with Master Huiming in the evening." , let's talk about it." Ding Yuanying got up and bowed his hands together: "Thank you, Master!" 丁元英和韩楚风两人出了茗香阁，穿过一道拱形门来到一禅寺的后院，后院也是依山势而建，院中几棵环抱粗的古银杏树掩隐着几间禅房，飘了一地的落叶，远处传来隐隐约约的钟声，更加衬托出这千年古寺的清静幽谧。 两人踏着石阶路向上走，后院的尽头是一个大石台，周围立着一圈石柱做的栏杆，栏杆之间有铁链相连。站在平台上放眼望去，只见远处山峦叠嶂，西下的夕阳像一枚金红色的果子挂在山尖上，强劲的山风带着一股浓浓的寒意。 韩楚风掏出烟给丁元英一支，问：“佛门净地能抽烟吗？” 丁元英笑笑说：“栏内是净，栏外是土，靠着栏杆就能抽。” 韩楚风也笑了，两人点上烟，韩楚风说：“刚才有话没敢说，怕有吹捧之嫌，可又不吐不快，现在可以说了。扶贫的事若以次第而分，也有三个层面。一、天上掉馅饼的神话，实惠、破格，是为市井文化。二、最不道德的道德，明辨是非，是为哲人文化。三、不打碎点东西不足以缘起主题，大智大爱，是为英雄文化。” 丁元英说：“不敢当，不敢当。”话音刚落，突然意识到了什么，自嘲道：“咱们怎么转起文来了？可别恍恍惚惚以为自己也是大师了。” 韩楚风也意识到了，说：“惯性，惯性，一下子收不回来了。” 两人哈哈一笑。 韩楚风面向群山，手抚着石栏说：“这趟如果不来，真是人生一大憾事。只是你我都有谤佛之嫌，也不怕下了地狱？” 丁元英说：“没有地狱，天堂焉在？总得有人在地狱呆着，咱们就算上一个，不然天堂就没着落了。” 韩楚风笑了笑，说：“一招杀富济贫引出得救之道的讨论，骂的是你，疼的却是传统观念。一年多不见你怎么有了这么高的境界？” 丁元英摆摆手说：“哪里是境界，我还没冲动到为了让舆论溅几滴水花就去招惹那种骂名。当'得救之道'的讨论浮出水面，那就是我要送给小丹的礼物。” 韩楚风顿然目瞪口呆，脱口一声：“啊？我的天！你知道这件事得折腾多少人？得惹多大动静？原来就是……就是给一个女人的礼物？” 丁元英说：“天下之道论到极致，百姓的柴米油盐。人生冷暖论到极致，男人女人的一个'情'字。这两个极致我都没敢冒犯，不可以吗？” 韩楚风说：“可以，当然可以。只是你一向对女人敬而远之，这个弯子转得太大了。” 丁元英说：“佛说看山是山、看水是水，我只是依佛法如实观照，看摩登女郎是摩登女郎，看红颜知己是红颜知己。” 韩楚风望着远处连绵起伏的山峦，感叹道：“古有千金一笑之说，如今一看，那千金一笑又算得了什么？”
