Chapter 12 Xiong Shili and Weizhi

Liang: ...Buddhism makes people drift away.I criticized him in this article, I said "this land" - "this land" refers to China, "this land is an ordinary person", is an ordinary person, an ordinary person, "how to survive", what he said It's nonsense, it's not true.The article was published, and he saw it.In the ninth year of the Republic of China, 1920, he was teaching at Nankai Middle School. He wrote a postcard to me and sent it to Peking University. Go to Beijing, we want to meet.This way the beginning intersects.He came to Beijing during the summer vacation.He has his bright side. When he talks happily, he will laugh, dance, and look very happy.At this time, he criticized Buddhism from the standpoint of Confucianism, but I am a Buddhist.I said that you don't understand Buddhism. The principles of Buddhism are very deep and profound.He said that I was going to explore Buddhism, and I said yes, I can introduce you to Ouyang.

Ai: Oh, so. Liang: So, through my introduction, he joined Ouyang's China Inner Academy.In the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), the tenth year of the Republic of China (1921), and the eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922), he was there for three years.At this time, I was teaching at Peking University. At first I taught Indian philosophy, and later I added Buddhist philosophy of consciousness.Consciousness-only is a very specialized thing in Buddhism. The person who traditionally did this kind of learning was Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, and Xuanzang's apprentice was called Kuiji.The content of this study is very scientific. It talks about names and appearances, and it is called Xiangzong.Its nouns cannot be spoken casually, and they all need to be very clear and specific. Its overall knowledge is very organized, very similar to science, the theory of consciousness only, and the law of consciousness only.

At Peking University, I first taught Indian philosophy, and later I also taught Confucianism, Buddhism, and consciousness-only.At the beginning I talked about Buddhism and Consciousness-only by citing the words of many Western scientists.Consciousness-only refers to the eight consciousnesses. The first five consciousnesses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and the sixth consciousness. The seven senses are far better than the eight senses... We humans, not only humans, all animals, all animals have "I".Yesterday I said that all animals take from the outside to satisfy themselves, so they are divided into an outside, an inside, an object, and a self.I was teaching Consciousness-only at Peking University.I slowly wrote articles on Consciousness-only Studies, and the first and second volumes were published, and I was not confident when I continued to write. Is this teaching correct?I thought they were experts in Nanjing Inner College, and they could use the knowledge of Xuanzang, Kuiji, and Fa Xiangzong. They were experts, so I invited them.I told Principal Cai, Mr. Cai Yuanpei, that I can no longer teach this subject. I am not confident anymore. I am afraid that the teaching is not good or right. I will go to the inner college to ask someone to teach it.President Cai agreed, and I will invite you.As soon as I invite, of course, Master Ouyang can't invite, so I want to invite Master Ouyang's first disciple, surnamed Lu—Shuangkou Lu—to speak.Lu (Lv, with the style name Qiuyi—the sorter) is also very knowledgeable. He is proficient in Tibetan and Sanskrit, and his knowledge is very good.Master Ouyang didn't let go, his left and right hands didn't let go.

At this time, Mr. Xiong has reached the third year of the inner court, nine years, ten years, eleven years, eleven years and winter has come.It was originally recommended by me, my close friend, please don't ask anyone else, I will invite Mr. Xiong.I said, "Come on," and invited him to lecture on Consciousness-only at Peking University.How can I know that it is contrary to what I think, how can it be contrary?I don’t dare to be confident, I’m afraid what I’m talking about is my own nonsense, and it’s not in line with the knowledge that Xuanzang learned from India at the beginning—Consciousness-Only Learning.I mean, I would like to ask an expert to explain it properly. Who would have thought that Mr. Xiong would go against what I expected after being invited. He wants to open up a new situation. The only consciousness he talks about is "new consciousness-only theory". It means that he is talking about the knowledge of the ancients subjectively and according to his own meaning.But at this time, he has already been invited, and he is in charge of this class. Even though it is not to my liking, I have no way to change it.
