Chapter 3 The third round

It is said that Elder Qing was stumped by Xiuyuan Zen Machine, and came back with shame, bedridden.Elder Daojing thought he was sick, so he came here to inquire about the reason.Elder Daoqing couldn't hide it, so he was about to shave and repair the matter, but he suddenly asked me where is my aura?I couldn't answer for a while, and came back ashamed, so it's not easy to tell people about things.Daojing said: "This is just a mantra, why is it surprising?"When I go to see him, it will be difficult for him, how about it? Daoqing said: "This son is not only talented, but also the reincarnation of Su Hui, but you should not despise him, my virtuous brother." '

Just as the conversation was over, it was reported that Li Zanshan and the young master were out to see the elder, and the elder had to force his comrades to come out and welcome him in. After the meeting ceremony, he offered tea.Zan Shan said: "The child was arrogant the day before yesterday. He offended his teacher and offended him a lot. Therefore, the official came here today to make amends. I hope the teacher will release his anger into love!" Daoqing said: "This is a poor monk with shallow power and self-ashamed. What is the crime with the young master?" Daojing looked at Xiuyuan, and then asked, "Is this the Mr. Li who asked about the spiritual light?" Xiu Yuandao: "The student is right." Daojing laughed and said, "Questions are easy to answer, but the poor monk also has a question. Can the unknown son answer it?" Xiuyuandao: "If you are rational and intelligent, you can ask and answer the same subject. There are difficulties and difficulties. The teacher has witty words, so you might as well see them." Daojing said: "Would you like to ask the son Zun?" Xiuyuan said: "The cheap word is Xiuyuan." Dao Jing said:

The size of the font is modified in Yuan, I am afraid that Yuan Chen will not be able to repair it easily. After hearing this, Xiu Yuan said, "Would you like to ask the teacher about the taboo?" Daojing said: "The poor monk Daojing." 'Xiu Yuan responded: It is called Daojing, and it is difficult to achieve Taoism without returning to the Pure Land. Daojing saw Xiuyuan's quick speech and sharp warning strategy, so he couldn't help admiring and said: "It turns out that the young master is extraordinary, and the two of us can't be his teachers. We must seek another respect. Don't miss the fate." Zanshan said: "When Chan Master Xingkong returned to the west that day, he ordered that if he wanted to become a monk, he had to enroll in Biefeng and Yuanxiatang as his disciples, but he couldn't know where the two monks were at the moment. Daojing said: "Since the Buddha said this, there must be such a person. You can pay attention to visit." "Everyone is speculative, and Daoqing set up a fast to entertain, cherish it and say goodbye."

When Xiu Yuan returned home, he only chanted in the library every day. Although he rejected Elder Daoqing, he was a seed of monk, so he took it to heart, and didn't care about fame or fame.Time flies, suddenly he was eighteen years old, his parents were about to propose marriage to him, but Mrs. Wang suddenly contracted an illness and became bedridden.Xiuyuan devotes himself to the burial ceremony, but unfortunately, his mother died only after serving him, and his father died one after another.Xiuyuan was overwhelmed with grief and mourned for another three years to fulfill his filial piety.Since then, I have been unhindered and free.His uncle Wang Anshi proposed marriage to him many times, but he refused all of them.

I have nothing to do, just visit the two elders of Yinbie Peak and Yuanxiatang in the Tiantai temples.After visiting for more than a year, there was a rumor: "The monk Yinbiefeng was the abbot of Jingshan Temple in Lin'an; the elder of Yuanxiatang used to be the abbot of Huqiu Mountain in Suzhou, and now he heard that he was invited by Lingyin Temple." ’ Xiuyuan found out, so he told his uncle that he wanted to leave home to look for him.Wang Anshi said: "According to theory, it is not a good thing to become a monk, but judging from your history, it seems that you have some ties to Buddhism."But you still have many properties and no brothers, but who will manage them? Xiuyuan said, "My nephew is not allowed to go here, let alone property?"It's okay to ask my cousin to cook. So I decided to get up at an auspicious time on February 12th.Wang Anshi had no choice but to tidy up a lot of clothes and food with him, and sent Xiuyuan off with his son Wang Quanxiang.Xiu Yuan took two servants and some precious money, bid farewell to Wang Anshi and Wang Quan's two relatives, and left the rooftop to go to Qiantang.

In a few days, I crossed the Qiantang River, went ashore and entered the city, and rested in an inn under the Xingong Bridge.The next day, I had breakfast and took my congren to play everywhere.But seeing the crowds gathered, it really is a scenic spot, but these scenery and scenery are not at all satisfactory.When I came back at night, I asked the owner of the inn, "I heard that there is a Lingyin Temple, but where is it?" The host said: "Lingyin Temple is opposite to Feilai Peak in Xishan Mountain, and it is a famous ancient temple." Xiuyuan said: "It is also a Buddhist temple, why is this Lingyin Temple famous?" The master said: "I don't know about it, because there was a famous man in the Tang Dynasty called Song Zhiwen. He once wrote a poem in Lingyin Temple, which contained the sentence "Guizi falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky floats outside."This poem became so famous that even the temple became a historic site. Xiuyuan said, "Where do you go to get to this temple?" The host said: "Out of the Qiantang Gate is the West Lake. After passing the Baoshu Pagoda, go west along the Beishan Mountain to the Yuefen, and from the Yuefen to the south, you will find the Lingyin Temple."In front of Lingyin Temple, there are Stone Buddha Cave, Lengquan Pavilion, and Huyuan Cave. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is endless. You will know it when you visit tomorrow. Xiuyuandao: "The virtuous master said it was mountains and rivers, but do you know any eminent monks in the temple?" The master said: "Although there are three to five hundred monks in the temple, there are not many eminent monks."The abbot passed away last year. Recently, an elder was invited to Huqiu Mountain in Gusu, called Yuanxiatang. I heard that this monk can know the past and the future. I'm afraid he can be regarded as an eminent monk! 'Xiu Yuan asked clearly, he was secretly happy, but he had nothing to say that night.

When I got up early the next day, I was still dressed as a scholar, and brought my servants, and came out of the Qiantang Gate.It's March weather at this time, the wind is warm and the sun is warm. Looking at the mountains and waters on the lake, the scenery is really extraordinary.Xiu Yuan said to Cong Ren: "I have heard for a long time that people say that there are many scenery on the West Lake, and I just learned about it today." 'Walking into Zhaoqing Temple on the north shore of West Lake, I saw a thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Avalokitesvara enshrined in the main hall.With a feeling in his heart, he said with a mouthful:

One hand is a thousand hands, one eye is a thousand eyes; Since it is called Avalokitesvara, there is no need to fiddle with it in many ways. Walking towards Beishan again, I arrived in front of the Great Buddha Temple. When I entered the temple, I saw a big Buddha, only half of his body.He wrote another ode: Leaning against the cold rock, the face is like a full moon; all the world and people are only half. After singing, he walked west to Yuefen.Another poem: One night at the Storm Pavilion, the tomb of the King of Yue through the ages; how can the predecessors love this, so that future generations can hear it?

I also saw Qin Hui and Wang cast in pig iron, kneeling in front of the grave and being whipped.Another poem: Punish evil and hate endlessly, cast iron to cast traitors; beat hard without pain, use this to extend human feelings! After finishing the question, head south again.Not long after, I arrived at the foot of Feilai Peak early, on the Lengquan Pavilion, and saw the quiet and moving scenery on the pavilion, so I sat for a long time. Before entering the temple, while browsing, suddenly saw many monks, followed by an elder, calmly entered the temple.Xiu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute a lagging monk: "May I ask the Venerable Master, what is the name of the elder who just entered?" The monk replied: "This is the new abbot of this temple, the elder of Yuanxia Hall. The gentleman asked him what happened?" Xiuyuandao: "Students have admired the elder's name for a long time and want to see him. I wonder if the master can introduce it for him?" The monk said: "This elder has an empty heart and broad eyes, and he is all-forgiving to others. If the husband really wants to see him, he can go with him." Xiuyuan was overjoyed, and followed the monks into the hall, to the abbot's room.The monk went in first and said that a waiter had already invited Xiu Yuan in.When Xiu Yuan saw the elder, he fell down and bowed down.The elder asked, "What is the name of the scholar? Why do you come here?" Xiuyuan said: "The disciple came all the way from Tiantai Mountain. His surname is Li and his name is Xiuyuan. Unfortunately, his parents died.I wanted to be a teacher for a long time, but I didn't know where Feixi was, so I was drowned in the world for a long time.I recently heard that my master abbots this mountain, so I came here to pay homage to him with a cleansed mind. The elder said: "Scholars don't know the word 'monk', how can they talk about it lightly?"Didn't you hear the ancient saying that 'it's easy to become a monk but difficult to sit in meditation', you have to think about the past and the future. Xiu Yuandao: "If there is no duality in one mind, what is so difficult?" The elder said: "Since you came from Tiantai Mountain, there are more than 300 temples in Taishan Mountain that day. Where can you not be a monk? Instead, you should look far away instead of near?" Xiuyuan said: "When my disciple Xingkong Buddha of Mengguoqing Temple returned to the west, he appeared in Yunqu and earnestly told the ancestors to ask Xiuyuan to visit and ask the teacher to be his disciple. Therefore, the disciple remembers this and came here to cast far away." Your seat, Gai follows the last words of Master Xingkong. The elder said: "Since this is the case, you will retreat temporarily." 'Order the waiter to burn incense and light candles, sit on the Zen bed in danger, and leave in meditation.

After a while, he came out of concentration and said, "Good!Good!This kind of fate lies in Sri Lanka. ’ At this time, although the elder asked Xiu Yuan to retreat temporarily, he did not retreat, and was still standing beside him.The elder opened his eyes and asked, "Who is standing behind you?" Xiuyuan said: "It's the servant brought by the disciple's family." The elder said: "Since you want to become a monk, but your servants can't become monks for you, you can send them back in a hurry." Xiuyuan took the order, so he ordered the servants to take out the treasure money they brought and pay the elders to live in it, thinking that it would be used to set up a fasting request.The rest was paid to the servants for the travel expenses home, and the humane said: "Young master is at home, eats fine fat, wears brocade, and there are many servants."So far today, only the two of us have limited entanglement, and we have been neglected and indifferent. If the two of us are sent back today, and the young master is alone and penniless, how can he survive?I also hope that the young master will keep the two of us here to serve. Xiuyuan said: "This is not allowed. I have always been a monk and a wild crane. How can I have a companion."You two just go back together and tell your uncle that I have become a monk in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. The second servant tried to persuade him again and again, but Xiu Yuan just didn't listen.The two had no choice but to weep and don't go back without mentioning it.

But it is said that after the elders of Yuanxiatang became samadhi, they knew that Xiuyuan was the reincarnation of Arhat, and came to the world to play games.So he didn't refuse, and asked someone to invite a ultimatum for him, choose an auspicious day to prepare a fast offering, light incense, flowers, lamps and candles, ring bells and drums, and gather the masses.In the Dharma Hall, he ordered Xiu Yuan to kneel under the Dharma seat and asked, "It is a good fate for you to become a monk, but it is easy to become a monk and difficult to return to the vulgar. Do you know that?" Xiuyuan said: "A disciple's renunciation is the comfort of his nature and the joy of his heart. It's not forced. Is there any reason to return to the vulgar?"I beg my master to be merciful and shaved. The elder said: "In that case, you can separate his temple hair and shrink it into five buns." The finger said: "The front of the five buns is heaven, and the back is hell. The left is the father, the right is the mother, and the middle is the natal Yuanchen. I will shave it off with you today. You have to pay attention to it." Xiu Yuandao: "The disciple has already taken care of it under the merciful instructions of the master." After hearing this, the elder shaved him carefully with the golden knife.After he was shaved, he rubbed his top with his hands and wrote a prophecy for him: Although the Dharma is empty, it is not without substance; a drop is merit, a word is profit; But if you really need to cultivate, why not play games?The weight of the Dharma, the root of goodness and wisdom; The monk's precepts are wine, sex and wealth.Too many things are foolish, and doing nothing is useless; Don't waste, don't be stupid, give me the name Daoji. After finishing his shaving, the elder ordered Daoji to say, "From now on, you are a disciple of Buddhism, and you must abide by the rules of Buddhism." Daoji said, "I don't know where to start?" The elder said, "Let's go to sit in meditation." Daoji said: "The disciples have heard that the Dharma is boundless, is it just like this?" The elder said: "It's not as good as it is!" '(Note: It's not just that, but I hope you can understand this first.) Then he ordered Jiansi to send Daoji to Yuntang. Daoji didn't dare to say anything, so he had to follow Jiansi to Yuntang.However, Xiuyuan became a monk this time, but ordered: "The three thousand Dharma realms have been turned into a place for wine and meat."How difficult is Daoji?Suffer all the annoyance. 'After all, I don't know how to sit in meditation?Let's listen to the next chapter. Comments: 1. Xiaolu's ingenuity surprised Daoqing and Daojing. Although it turns out that cleanliness is wonderful, it is not as high as entering the dust, but because there is still unresolved love, you have to explore it in the blind hall. It is exactly: Appreciate the teacher and learn the Tao, pay attention to the cause and fate, and laugh at the Buddha in the face of the Tathagata; There is nothing in the clean bag, just a little bit of dust. 2. The mother died and the father died, and the luck is not at the right time. It is exactly: "The house leaks and it rains all night, and the dew and wet wake up to the Buddha's heart!" "Three years of mourning, filial piety, how much do you want to repay your kindness?"It's better to be filial for thousands of years.My uncle proposed marriage, but it was just unintentional; my parents left, and I was free!There is a saying: Arhat originally loved being single, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing; You can go east, west, north, south, and stretch your feet by the side of the eaves. Therefore, cousin Ye Fu, who ended up in poverty, went all the way to Lingyin Temple to find a place of refuge! 3. When I saw Avalokitesvara, I said: "One hand comes with a thousand hands", just because the heart is there, and the heart moves everything. An ordinary person only moves two hands to fight for his own food. If he moves three hands, he is a "thief".Avalokitesvara's great compassionate wish, thousands of hands move together, endlessly busy, ordinary people just stand by and watch, it's none of my business!If you don't use thousands of hands, other hands will become 'waste'. 'A glance at the time with a thousand eyes', Avalokitesvara is like a big sun, shining on everything, turning on the switch and all lights, not letting go of a dark place, not giving up a living being, can the world do it? 'Since it's called Avalokitesvara, why do you need to fiddle with it in so many ways? 'Ha ha!Mocking Guanyin is just to save people. "Thousand hands and thousands of eyes see freedom", another ordinary person may become a villain who "steals all the treasures of the world with a thousand hands, and sees all the beauty of the world with a thousand eyes". Not only is he uncomfortable, even if he is not crazy, he will also enter a mental hospital. 4. Since you want to become a monk, your temple hair is divided into five buns. The elder said: "Shave all five buns off together!" 'Why such a trick?Just because the front bun is 'heaven', although heaven is good, there are endless blessings, so shave it off!The back bun is 'hell', the back door is not worth mentioning! The left is the father, afraid that the old father will worry too much about the cultivation, he will be filial, and he will become a monk to repay his "family favor"; the right is the mother, the umbilical cord has been cut off, and today is the second "birth" to become a monk, and it should be celebrated by eating "oily rice" ;'Zhong is the natal Yuanchen', if you become a monk, you don't need to tell the fortune to see the time, good or bad depends on your heart, your own destiny! 5. It is easy to become a monk and it is difficult to return to vulgarity. I shaved off my troubles and burned my scars on my heart. I retired from now on. I was so happy that the elders gave me the Dharma name: 'Daoji! ''But you have to really practice, why not play games! 'Just because of this, Daoji games are in the world. 6. Do you sit in meditation?I am not used to sitting, and my reasoning is still chaotic, I just want to "moving Zen" and "self-willed", which will open the door of convenience in the world, and thus opened the prelude to the legend of Jigong.
