Chapter 5 The Fifth Chapter: Singing with Intuition, Passing the World Without Perseverance

It was said that Ji turned somersaults, which proved that the masses didn't call him Daoji, but they all called him Jidian.This Ji Dian actually recognized the word "Dian" as his true face, and since then, he has been wearing clothes, eating, and peeing with a three-pointed meaning.When everyone saw him disturbing the meditation hall, they all came to report to the elders. The elders only comforted the public and never punished them.Ji Dian became more and more willful, crazy and insane, doing everything.Sometimes I went to the Cold Spring Pavilion and led a group of children to play; sometimes I went to the Calling Ape Cave to call out apes and somersaulted together; sit still.

Suddenly one day, the crowd was presenting incense, lanterns and candles in the main hall, and chanting scriptures for the benefactor, but Daoji was drunk from eating. With a plate of meat in his hand, he walked up to the Buddha, sat down on the ground, sang a folk song, and ate another. Back to the meat.The prison temple couldn't help shouting angrily: "This is a solemn place in the Buddhist hall. Besides, there are almsgiver here to make offerings. How dare you pretend to be crazy and disturb here? What's the rule?"Go away quickly. ’ Ji Dian shouted: ‘Fart!I eat meat and sing songs, which is much more beneficial than the sutras recited by you monks. Why don't you chase them down and chase me? Seeing that he didn't move, the prison temple wanted to report to the elders, but because the elders repeatedly defended his shortcomings, he refused to listen. .The elder said: "Since this is the case, wait for me to call him to give instructions." Then he ordered the attendant to call Ji Dian to the abbot's room and said, "Today is the Daochang where this benefactor prays for the safety of the babysitter. Why don't you show mercy and interrupt the monks' homework instead? What's the reason?" Ji Dian said: "These monks only eat fast and beg for money from donors. What do they know about merit and virtue?"Seeing the sincerity of the benefactor, the disciple came to sing a folk song and prayed for him to eliminate disasters, but those monks chased me instead. The elder said: "What folk songs are you singing, how can you pray for peace and blessings?" Ji Dian said: "The disciple sang: "If you are willing to confide your heart to me, I will guarantee that your old illness will be cured for a while." ''The elder nodded after hearing this, and the monks were about to come forward to speak again, but they didn't know the family members of the benefactor, and reported in a panic: 'The old lady has recovered from her illness. People go back! The donor was surprised and delighted when he heard this.The family said: "The old lady smelled the smell of meat in her sleep, and she didn't feel that her spirit was sharp, but she sat up as if she was healthy. The benefactor listened, looked at Ji Dian and said, "Now that I think about it, the teacher is the Living Buddha, please thank me!" ’ Saying that it’s not over yet, Ji Dian slipped out of the abbot’s room somersaulting all the way, not knowing where he went.exactly:

Mandao Daoist did not show up, obviously helpless is a supernatural power; Because of worry, eyes and ears are clear, pretending to be blind and deaf. After all this, someone had already spread his deeds to the ears of the court officials in the sixteenth hall, and all the officials and Taiwei (official name) heard his name and communicated with him.However, his crazy behavior and playing games among the stupid people all day long, these common-sighted people were all hidden by him. Suddenly one day, the elder was sitting idle in the abbot's room, and Na Jidian was holding a golden lamp in his hand, leading many children to follow Jidian, beating small gongs and drums.Ji Dian sang folk songs and danced into the abbot's room together.The elder said: "Ji Dian!"Why are you so unscrupulous, making noise in this quiet meditation hall, provoking the public to gossip, making the old monk angry. Ji Dian said: "My teacher, don't listen to such monk's nonsense talking in sleep. The meditation hall was originally clean, and the disciples have never been noisy. Today is the Lantern Festival in the first half of the first month. It is a rare encounter. The disciples may not live up to the good times, so Having fun and playing games is a road between man and nature, you can come and go, what does it have to do with this group of monks?But just come to find trouble and make noise, and hope that my teacher will make the decision. The elder said: "I am impatient to care about your right and wrong."Since today is the first month and a half, we must not waste our words. Then he ordered the waiter to ring the bell and beat the drum, and gathered all the monks to burn incense and light candles in the Dharma hall. The elder ascended his seat and said, "Listen, everyone!"

Half of the first month, who will judge?Suddenly send a round to Yinhan.Touch people's heads when they are noisy, and look at them when they are quiet.There has never been a void without a shore, calling each other to come and go.Look at the first month and a half of next year? After the elder read it, he was about to leave the Dharma hall. Ji Dian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My teacher will not wait for a while. The disciple has a few words to continue: It's the first month and a half, don't count!Once the calculation is made, a public case must be established.Two years is better than one year, what are the two shores in general?

This year is still a good scene, I am afraid that next year will be the other side? The elder then ordered the waiter to copy the quotations and report to the mountains before he got down from the throne.The crowd didn't know what it meant, and they hugged Ji Dian to ask, but Ji Dian slipped out of the mountain gate after somersaulting. But he said that Elder Yuan was originally a wise and eminent monk. Seeing that Ji Dian's actions were in line with Zen's intentions, and his legacy was passed down, he let go of his heart and went along with the fate.Time passed quickly, a year passed, and it was the first half of the first month. Suddenly the prefect of Lin'an County came to pay homage, and the elder hurriedly invited him into the abbot's room to meet him.The elder said: "My husband is looking down today. I don't know why?" The magistrate said: "There is nothing else, but because of the idleness of government affairs, I came here to receive the teaching of the Zen master." The elder said: "Since my husband has this leisure time, how about going to the Lengquan Pavilion to play chess pieces together?" The magistrate said: "It's better to talk with your friends if you forget your words!" So the two of them went up to the cold spring pavilion hand in hand.Line up the chess game, separate black and white, and play chess happily. Before the end of the game, all the waiters came to report one after another: "The elders of the abbots in all the mountains and temples have arrived." ’ After finishing speaking, another waiter came to report: “All the court officials from the Sixteen Halls of the Buddha Hall have come. The elder asked in amazement, "Why are all the people here today?" The waiter said: "I think it was when I was promoted to the Dharma seat in the middle of the first month of last year. There was a quotation of "calling each other to come and rest, and see the half of the first month of next year" and copied it to Zhushan. The elder laughed and said, "I'm not dead, so what are you here for?" The waiter said: "Since my teacher still wants to save the world with compassion, why not write a eulogy and send the public back?" The elder thought for a while and said, "Since everyone has come, how can we tell him to go back!" He said to the magistrate, "Please come back, Mr. Xiang!"The old monk has no choice but to accompany him. Then he stood up, brushed the chess piece on the ground, and said in his mouth:

Once the remnant chess was still in progress, he was invited to Nirvana by the other side. The elder then went back to the abbot's room to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and went to the Zen chair in the Anle Hall to sit down.At this time, the monks from all mountains and a group of people came to embrace the elder.The elder asked people to search for Ji Dian, and they searched for a while, but they saw Ji Dian's shadow there.The elder said, "It's fine if you don't see him."It's just that no one can pass on the mantle of the poor monk, so he must come! The monks said, "I am teaching the decree to stay with Jidian. Who dares to disobey it?" The elder said: "There is one more thing. It is necessary to save the fire, and it cannot be violated." After that, he closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, sat down and left.The monks were mourning when they suddenly saw the gold-nosed ape kept by the elder behind the cold spring pavilion, running over in a hurry, looking at the elder's spiritual throne, circled around three times, wailed several times, and melted on the ground immediately, all the monks died. Surprised, only then did he know that this elder has extraordinary deeds.But when Ji Dian came back, there was a lot of discussion, saying that the elder treated him very well, but Ji Dian treated the elder very poorly, I don't know why.I had to close the niche and put the elders in it.

After waiting for five or seven days, Ji Dian did not come back. Everyone couldn't wait, and the niche was about to be carried out for the funeral. Ji Dian was wearing a sandal on one foot, and holding a straw sandal in the other hand, singing lol, lol, lol, lol. , I don't know what to sing?Walk into the temple from the cold spring pavilion.All the monks came forward and said, "Why did your master wait for you? He passed away today. Thanks to your patience, he didn't come to cook."The public can't wait for you. I will hold a funeral with Master today. I only hope that you will come to the fire. You must not go anywhere else. Ji Dian laughed and said, "Master's death is inevitable. What kind of food is there for me?"If I want to cry, I won't. If I get angry today, I will come naturally according to the order of the master, so why worry about it! At that time, all the people were unable to speak. At that time, the bells and drums of the monks rang the sky, and the sound of the scriptures moved the ground. They surrounded the niche and carried them to the pine and cypress Pavilion of the Buddha Yuanhua Bureau. Holding the torch in his hand, Nai said: Listen, everyone:

The teacher is my ancestor, and I am the grandson of the teacher. I am grateful to the teacher for dressing and eating. Before we leave, we will cut off our kindness and righteousness, with the torch in hand, the king and law have no relatives. what!Yujun burns the stinky skin in exchange for the indestructible body of King Kong. After reading it, set fire to the niche, the fire was raging, and the relics were burned like rain.In the light of the fire, the elder Yuan Xia Tang suddenly appeared, looked at Ji Dian and said, "Ji Dian!Ji Dian!It's up to you to reverse, as long as you don't reverse the teachings of Buddhism! ’ And said to the crowd: ‘Everyone should take care of themselves. After finishing speaking, he turned into a breeze and left.Everyone saw it clearly, and they were all surprised.After the matter is over, everyone disperses.

All the people said to Ji Dian: "Now that the master is dead, there is no master in the Zen school. You are the disciple of the master who taught the Dharma. You need to be more serious and speak up for the master." Ji Dian said: "You see that I am not serious, so you want you to talk nonsense?" The monks said, "You are a monk. Is it serious to sing folk songs?" Ji Dian said: "The sound of water and the singing of birds all have wonderful sounds, not to mention folk songs."Wouldn't it be serious to not sing folk songs and recite scriptures? The monks said, "You are a Buddhist disciple. Is it serious to be in the same group with monkeys and dogs, and to be a team with children?" Ji Dian said: "Children are full of secrets, and dogs have Buddha nature. They don't play games with him. Are you fooling around with monks like you?" ’ All the monks saw that what he said was crazy, so they didn’t open their mouths.The first seat alone said: "Stop talking about gossip, but the master ordered to deliver the mantle to you, and you have to take it away." Ji Dian said: "Master's mantle, I have taken it for a long time. What use are these external objects?" The chief said: "This is the strict order of the master, how can it be violated?"Even if you don't want it, you have to make a deal. Ji Dian said, "Since that's what you said, let's take it out and see." The first seat then asked the waiter to bring all the boxes and niches containing the robes and bowls to the front and put them down.Ji Dian said: "Since it is the property of the teacher and father, all the monks in the temple have a share. They must gather together to see it, so as to see justice." The chief seat said: "This is passed down to you by the master's will, so you just take it away. Why bother to dazzle people?" Ji Dian said, "Don't worry about it, let everyone see and understand, and then make sense." The first one had to ask people to beat the bell and beat the drum, and gathered the whole temple together. Then Ji Dian opened the boxes and niches together, and asked all the monks to look at them together, only to see that the yellow one is gold, the white one is silver, and the shining one is silver. Coral, the colorful ones are beautiful jade, the gorgeous ones are cassocks, the soft ones are napkins, classics and classics, everything exists.Zhong Er Pan Er, there is everything.The eyes of all the monks burst into flames when they saw it, but because it was passed down by the teacher and his father to Ji Dian, it was difficult to argue with each other. I have something to say for you, just listen. 'I don't know what the first seat said, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.

Comments: 1. Since I showed my original face, the public has called me Ji Dian, and I also recognize the word "Dian" as my original face. You can see that the word "Dian" is also true!From now on, I will go back and forth and hide some of my nature, so as not to fall into the envy of others! 2. When you have nothing to do when you have nothing to do, go to the Cold Spring Pavilion and invite some children to play; in the Calling Ape Cave, call out apes to turn somersaults, which is very innocent and enjoyable. 3. The benefactor's mother smelled the smell of meat, but she didn't feel sick, haha!Could it be that the roundworms in the stomach are causing trouble?The aroma of Jidian wine and meat only feeds the roundworms in the stomach, not for me!chicanery!If the wine and meat are fragrant, what is the result of swallowing three inches?Don't misunderstand all beings, you can eat as much as you want, but don't say you are learning from Jigong!

4. Just because it is "singing folk songs, opening the mind; smelling the smell of meat, awakening the stomach." As expected, the benefactor's mother recovered from her illness. Since then, Jidian has become famous, and all the court officials in the Sixteenth Hall are willing to communicate with me. It is exactly: Play around to become famous and know your officials, play crazy games and drink wine; There is joy and no worries in the world, and there are convenience meals everywhere. 5. The elder made it a decision, the first month and a half is going to go, the Buddha is not joking, he is so serious only because he is not used to games.On the chair of the An Le Hall, the elder gave me the mantle, and asked me to set fire to it. It's really "keep the green hills, even if there is no firewood!" "A fire will burn the master and apprentice; a fire will kill lice and insects."But seeing relics like rain, pieces of golden light.People are reduced to ashes, what's the use of keeping these stubborn stones?If you can pretend to be my Buddha's eyeball, why did you hide it in your bones before you were alive?Ha ha!Old mussels give birth to pearls, and they come late to have a son, which is also a token for the monk to pass on the family line!
