Chapter 119 3. The Poetry Collection of Bazhi Toutuo Introduced Yang Du into the Kingdom of Buddhism

A few days later, Jingzhu passed away peacefully on the sickbed.Yang Du was distraught, and Yi Zhu cried to death.All the young and old in Yang's house expressed deep regret for the miserable life of this strange woman.According to Jingzhu's will, her body was cremated.Yizhu picked out the most beautiful beauty vase from the set of eight treasure vases sent by the Yuan family, put Jingzhu's ashes in it, and found the silk fan with Yang Du's inscription from the bottom of the box. Fan breaded the corner worship bricks, put them together in a beauty bottle, sealed them with mud, and put them in her bedroom, and brought them back to Suzhou when I found them later.

After Jing Zhu's death, Yang Du was in a trance for many days, with Jing Zhu's shadow in his mind all the time.For a while, it was Jiangting, and Jingzhu sat beside him with a smile, watching him write an inscription on the silk fan, and said: "I value words, not the second place in the list." Jingzhu said excitedly: "Xizi, you can definitely make a great career!" For a while, it was the hut in Xishan, where Jingzhu calmly made the greatest self-sacrifice; He calmed his worries like coaxing a child. While in a trance like this, Qianhuizi from Dongliu and Fujin from Yunjiban also appeared in his mind.Both women had fascinated him once.Qian Huizi is beautiful and noble, and she has a deep affection for him, but after all, she can't hold back her family and is unwilling to make sacrifices for him.There is no destiny connection between them, and time has passed. Even if they see her again in the future, they probably won't have too strong emotional impulse.Fu Jin is also beautiful and loves him, but she is just a secular prostitute, and the bond connecting them is nothing but money and power.Once powerless, she is no longer his.Even if such a woman made him fall in love before, there is no need to worry about her now.Yang Du could see more and more clearly that in this world, the one who really gave him all his love, sacrificed everything for him, cared for him all the time, and shared the same fate with him, was this humble but humble man. Jingzhu with pure bones.Thinking of this, Yang Du really felt sorry for her.

In the past twenty years in the political arena, not to mention that the study of emperors has come to naught, even a small matter that is actually beneficial to the country and the people has not been done. It is a thousand miles away from a real great man.Jingzhu also has hopes and ideals, but she suffers repeated setbacks and goes through hardships, but she can deal with them indifferently, without complaining. Could it be that, as she said, it is because of the Buddha in her heart?Master Xiangqi studied Lao and Zhuangzi's learning, and at the same time was passionate about the career of emperors. It can be seen that Laozhuang and Zhuangzi cannot make people indifferent.In the past few months, I tried my best to follow Lao Zhuang's quiet and carefree preaching, and I kept saying that I would lose my emperor's teacher Wang Zuozhi's thoughts, but I was nagging like this all day long, which shows that this thought has not disappeared in my heart.Jue Huan persuaded me to rest on the cattail mat, and sent Zen to say that I have the roots of wisdom, why not give up Lao Zhuang and study Buddhism?Even out of love for Jingzhu, he should sit under the Bodhi tree!

Everyone agrees with Yang Du's idea. The old lady who worshiped Guanyin Bodhisattva for the first time said repeatedly: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Who can rely on for blessings in this world? You can't rely on anything else, you can only rely on Bodhisattva!" Mrs. Huang and Yizhu both echoed the old lady's opinion. Xia Shoutian said: "Buddhism is a great subject. Only when you study it deeply can you believe in it better. I think you have to study Buddhist scriptures first." Uncle Ji agreed with Xia Shoutian's point of view. Yang Du said: "Our family, including Wu Yi, are Buddhist lay Buddhists. My mother, Zhong Ying, and Yi Zhu are practicing lay Buddhists, and Wu Yi, Shu Ji, and I are practicing lay Buddhists. The practice school does not need to read scriptures. We The Cultivation of the Mind school should be like reading the books of Confucius in Dongzhou, and from now on abandon all idle books and study the inner classics behind closed doors."

Everyone agrees. Yizhu said: "I have no objection to you reading the scriptures behind closed doors, but you always have to eat, and the silver dollar at home is less than one hundred dollars. What will you do in the future?" Since the restoration of the Braided Army failed, Zhang Xun hid in foreign embassies and did not show his face. His shogunate disappeared invisibly, and no one cared about his house or his monthly salary of 300 yuan.Yi Zhu felt financially strapped again. Xia Shoutian said: "I still have some money in a bank opened by an Englishman. I secretly went to Beijing once to withdraw 2,000 yuan."

Yang Du hurriedly said: "Don't go, what if they see it? You live in my house, and I don't want you to spend even if you have no money. I have thought about it a long time ago. There are still seven eight-treasure vases left. They can be pawned or sold. Yes, enough for a year or two." A few days later, Yizhu sold the seven porcelain vases for 5,000 silver dollars, which solved the urgent need and everyone felt relieved.So, Yang Du, Wu Yi and Shu Ji put down the "Lao Tzu" in their hands, and read Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors in the mansion in the Tianjin Concession.

As soon as he picked up a copy of "Hua Yan Jing", Yang Du thought of a big event, which was to sort out the poem manuscripts entrusted by Ji Chan on his deathbed.In the past, I was busy and had no time for this. Now I can take this opportunity to enter the kingdom of Buddha under the guidance of this Buddhist master's Zen poems. Yang Du took out the manuscripts of Ji Chan's poems that had been preserved for seven or eight years from the cabinet.After opening these poems, he realized that it was not easy to do.One is messy.There are more than 2,000 poems left by Jichan. Except for the compiled "Baimei Collection", "Chewing Plum Collection", and "Fanxia Collection", the other poems have not been sorted out and named separately.The second is that the manuscript is not clean.Jichan was out of school in his early years, and his handwriting was poor, with many typos and typos, and there were scribbles and corrections everywhere.Even so, Yang Du still felt that sorting out the posthumous works of this talented poet monk was a wonderful enjoyment in his Buddhist career.

Everything in the world is incorporated into Ji Zen's poems, just as everything is incorporated into Qi Baishi's paintings.The difference is that everything in Qi Baishi's paintings is endowed with spirituality of life, while in Ji Chan's poems, everything is covered with divine aura.Yang Du decided to compile more than 2,000 poems by the master in the form of a year instead of a collection, and put them under the general title: "Poetry Collection of Bazhi Toutuo".He read each poem carefully, correcting typos and typos in between.Occasionally, there are inconsistencies in rhythm and rhythm, and he rectifies them; sometimes there are inappropriate allusions, and he corrects them, trying to be as seamless as possible.When he felt tired, he hung up the string of pine flower rosary beads and kept saying "Amitabha Buddha" as Jingzhu said.It was really strange to say that this string of rosary beads, which had been in the ancestral home of the pseudo-Yang clan for more than a hundred years, really got spiritual energy. After counting hundreds of beads and reciting dozens of lines, he felt refreshed.

After the collection of poems was compiled, he asked Wu Yi and Shu Ji to copy them separately.Both of them admired Bazhi Toutuo very much, and gladly obeyed, treating this matter as an important lesson in studying Buddhism. As for the "Three Shadows Collection", Yang Du organized it by himself and copied it by himself, and did not compile it into the "Poetry Collection of Bazhi Toutuo".He wants to be a good friend, but also to keep this secret for Buddhism.He thought that from now on, this "Three Shadows Collection" can only be shown to one person, and this person is Jing Wu;

Just like studying the study of emperors back then, Yang Du also holds a very serious attitude towards the study of Buddhism, and is determined to quickly understand the scriptures of various sects and sects, and on this basis create a school that surpasses any Buddhist teachings. The sect is higher than the new Buddhism of the Buddhas of the past dynasties.This new Buddhism can not only get rid of troubles for yourself, but also allow the world to accept and get rid of troubles.If this goal is achieved, the contribution to the world will be far greater than the realization of the study of emperors.

He took the Dharma name of Hutuo Chan Master for himself.When he was a child, his mother gave him the baby name Huyazi, hoping that he would be lively.Forty years later, he used this name again when he was studying Buddhism. He hoped that by studying Buddhism and practicing Zen, he would be enlightened, get rid of the false and return to the original.He also set a few precepts for himself: first, no drinking, second, no smoking, third, no lying, fourth, no anger, and fifth morning, get up and sit quietly for an hour.Yang Du solemnly carried the piety of self-denial and ritual, and devoted himself to the vast ocean of Buddhist scriptures. On the way to Weishan that year, Bazhi Toutuo told him the history of Buddhism in China. He still roughly remembered that after Buddhism was introduced to China, there were many sects, including Tiantai Sect, Pure Land Sect, Vinaya Sect, Esoteric Sect, Sanlun Sect, and Ci En Sect. Zen, Xianshou, and Zen were all once prominent, and then all sects gradually declined, and Du Zen continued to prosper.In order to study Buddhism intensively and lay the foundation for his own new Buddhism, he decided to start with other sects that had declined. He combined the classic "Lotus Sutra" of Tiantai School, the classic "Infinite Life Sutra" of Pure Land School, the classic "Zhong Lun" of Sanlun School, "Twelve Gates", "Hundred Treatises", and the classic "Hua Lun" of Xianshou School. The Strict Sutra, the classic "Cheng Wei Consciousness Theory" of the Ci'en School, the "Four-Part Laws" of the Vinaya School, and the "Diamond Sutra" of the Tantric School, and studied them one by one day and night. Most of these classics are difficult to read and understand, and Yang Du patiently gnawed at them page by page.Half a year has passed, and although he has learned a lot about Buddhism, he still has a long way to go in realizing the highest state of Buddhism—selflessness.All conflicts, disputes, struggles, and killings in the world are nothing more than "I see" and "for me". , all will be eliminated naturally, everyone is happy, everyone is happy, isn't the world of ultimate bliss right in front of you? Yang Du thought, with his spiritual wisdom and devotion, he has been studying Buddhism for so long, but he still cannot enter the realm of selflessness. It can be seen that these scriptures have not provided a way for good men and women to lead to selflessness.Where is this method?He was thinking hard. At this time, in view of appeals from all parties and its own difficult situation, the Beijing government made a decision to cancel the wanted political prisoners, and issued a list of "all wanted Yangs on July 14, 2005 and July 17, 600 Du, Kang Youwei and others are exempt from prosecution".In other words, the key criminals of the two imperial restoration activities after the founding of the Republic of China were no longer prosecuted by law, and their rights as citizens of the Republic of China were restored.This amnesty brought great joy to Yang Zhai, and they decided to move back to Beijing immediately, because Beijing was stronger than Tianjin in every aspect.Xia Shoutian naturally went with them. That night, Yang Du dreamed of Jingzhu again.Since Jingzhu passed away, Yang Du dreamed of her many times, but each time she was only vaguely visible and did not speak.This time is different.He dreamed that he seemed to have entered a big mountain. It was already night and the sky was full of stars, but he was still on his way.Suddenly a light appeared in front of him, and when he got closer, he found that it was a small temple.He thought to himself, this is all right, let's stay here tonight.He knocked on the door.The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with long hair appeared in front of her.This woman is very beautiful, and her two Danfeng eyes are full of intimate smiles.oops!Yang Du suddenly recognized it, isn't this Jingzhu, why did he meet here?He hugged Jingzhu, and Jingzhu also hugged him tightly.Jingzhu told him that he has been practicing in this area for half a year, and she looks forward to his visit every day.He asked where it was.Jingzhu said that this is Lushan Mountain, and this temple is called Chewu Temple. After you come here, everything will be completely enlightened.Just as he was talking happily, he suddenly woke up. Yang Du put on his clothes and got up, recalling the dream carefully, feeling very strange in his heart. After dawn, he talked about it to Yizhu, and Yizhu said: "This is Jingzhutuo's dream. If her ashes are not buried with her parents, her soul will not be safe. I always keep this matter in my heart, otherwise I Why don't you just go back to Suzhou. I have been away from Suzhou for more than 20 years, and I want to go back and have a look, and Jingzhu's business should be done as soon as possible." Yang Du thought for a while and said: "That's fine, you take the child with you. Mother has long wanted to go back to Hunan, and I want Zhongying to accompany her back. I won't live in Beijing anymore; I will live with you in Suzhou. " It is of course Yizhu's wish to live in Suzhou for a long time. Among other things, the soft and gentle Wu accent sounds better than the Beijing dialect! "After moving, I'm going to Lushan Chewu Nunnery to find Jingzhu." Yang Du said, staring at the beauty vase containing Jingzhu's ashes. "What, you went to Lushan to find Sister Jing?" Yi Zhu asked with wide eyes. "Xizi, that's a dream. Where can Sister Jing find it? If I can find it, I'll go find it with you!" "I also know that Jingzhu is dead and will not be in Lushan Mountain. But this dream is too strange. Maybe it is Jingzhu enlightening me and asking me to go to Lushan Mountain once. Back then Huiyuan invited eighteen sages to gather at Lushan Mountain Temple The Jiebailian Club established the Pure Land Sect, Tao Yuanming often went to Donglin Temple to talk about Buddhism with Huiyuan, so I should pay homage to the ancestral home of the Pure Land Sect.” Yizhu knows that Yang Du misses Jingzhu very much, and he went to Mount Lushan just to comfort his lovesickness. Didn't he search for Jingzhu in West Mountain alone for more than half a month to pay homage to Jingzhu?Jingzhu is Xizi's first love, and also her benefactor. Of course, Yizhu will not have the jealousy of ordinary women, but is pleased with Xizi's infatuation. After the relocation was roughly sorted out, Yizhu took the child and the beauty bottle to the south of Suzhou, while Yang Du returned to Huai'an Hutong in Beijing with his mother, Zhong Ying, Shu Ji and Wu Yi. A month later, Yang Du left Beijing for Mount Lushan in Jiangxi.
