Chapter 2 The first Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma

The first Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma Example: Emperor Wu of Liang asked Master Bodhidharma: "What is the first meaning of the holy truth?" Mo Yun: "There is absolutely no saint." He asked: "What merits do I have in building a temple and enshrining monks?" Mo Yun: "There is no merit." The emperor said, "Who is it to me?" Mo Yun said, "I don't know." The emperor refused, so Bodhidharma crossed the river to Wei. But to say that Damoshi is coming is superfluous and causing trouble for no reason.But the history of civilization is full of events.Bodhidharma does not understand this level of truth better than the Chinese.

In fact, Bodhidharma's answer to Emperor Wu of Liang's three questions was only about the essence of Buddhism, and did not touch the so-called opportunity of the Zen monk.Also, Bodhidharma crossed the river to Wei because Emperor Wudi of Liang did not agree. This is not unusual.Then it was the Chinese eminent monk Baozhi who answered Emperor Wu of Liang with a few words, which turned Bodhidharma's three answers and one walk into an unusual one through the ages. After Bodhidharma left, Baozhi came to see him and told Emperor Wu of Liang. The emperor regretted it, so he sent an envoy to invite him.Zhiyun: "His Majesty Mo Dao sent an emissary to fetch it, and the whole country went, and he would not return." In this way, Bodhidharma's departure became a historical opportunity, and it was hard to catch up.

And in this way, even the first three sentences are brought up and become dynamic. "Gu Ran Wu Sheng" refers to the chaos of the first opportunity, and everything has not yet happened.Those who "don't know" me are the first chance to meet each other, and I don't have a name. "Building temples and fasting monks has no merit" is a discontinuous opportunity.All of this is not what Bodhidharma originally intended.In the Water Margin, there is the song of Gong Zhang Heng: Last night Huaguang came to take advantage of my departure to win a gold brick Baozhi took all of Bodhidharma's straw sandals.In fact, the patriarch has nothing else of value.

Bodhidharma only used non-constrained classic Buddha statues. For those in the Southern Liang and Northern Wei Dynasties who emphasized the solemnity of color and the first generation of the theory of victory, they only marked simplicity, so they were the ancestors of Zen. Baozhi is followed by Xuedou's song and Huanwu's Zhuhao.Combining the words of the two people, it means: The Holy Truth is just the trace of an arrow. Other people's arrows have already passed through Silla, and you are still here to ask for the trace?To whom?It's like Zhang Qian's ride to the Milky Way to see a girl, but he didn't know it was the Weaver Girl, but when he asked Yan Junping the next year and found out that it was the Weaver Girl, he could no longer come again.But this opposite side has been in the world for thousands of years, so the note says: "The grass under the heel has been several feet." And Bodhidharma has gone, so why chase after here if you have ambition?Although remembering each other, don't you hear that the country has produced talents from generation to generation?

Zen Master Xuedou looked around and said, "Is there any patriarch here?" Ziyun: "Yes. Call me to wash your feet with the old monk!" This year, and good people and good deeds must have something to do with me.
