Chapter 42 (3) Create a Protestantism

The next day, Feng Ziying came again, sat down and said first: "I have managed to ask someone to inquire about Miaoyu. She is said to be fierce and not afraid of death, and no one dares to come near her. For now, it's okay. I must be a hero for a while, so I can live with my heart, second master, don't worry." Baoyu was very pleased when he heard this.At that moment, Ziying brought up what she said yesterday, and asked Baoyu to talk about the principle of "repairing Qi and making peace". Baoyu laughed and said, "Where do I have any great plans to govern the country and the world? Even Mr. Wolong Zhuge Kongming wasted his energy, let alone you and me? But as far as I think, the official law, the righteous hero, the monk and the Taoist, the scholar and the Confucian scholar, have not succeeded." It has all merits, so there should be a new method, although I dare not say that it can replace the theory of previous sages, but it is really a great remedy."

Ziying immediately stood up, cupped her hands to Baoyu and said, "Speak quickly! Listen carefully, little brother." Baoyu also stood up and said, "The weather is pleasant today. Let's go to the stone table in the courtyard. There is a crabapple plant in a perfect place to be released." The two came to sit on the porcelain pier beside the Huaxia stone table.The servant brought all the tea to the table.Baoyu then asked Ziying, "Which religion do you belong to?" Baoyu asked again, "If I create a religion, will you join it or not?" Ziying laughed and said, "I am the first one to join the religion! I must join your new religion! But what kind of religion is yours?"

Baoyu replied: "The teaching I want to create is called 'Emotional Teaching'." Ziying hurriedly asked; "Which word? What kind of emotion?" Baoyu laughed and said, "It's the emotion of temperament." Ziying couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said: "What kind of religion are you called! I'm afraid you invented it-if it goes against the way of sages and sages, you will become a heresy and heresy! Wouldn't it make people cry again? Said that you are crazy and stupid, and you just like to say these things that no one pays attention to."

Baoyu sighed and said, "Sure enough, you, the first one who wants to join the religion, don't understand! Let me tell you—"Brother, don't you hear the meaning of the words? Tomorrow is sunny, and the treasure of the eye is the eye... Human beings are the soul of all things, the soul is in the heart, and the soul of the heart is love. The essence of the ancient man-made characters is clear and accurate.What valuable things do people have?The word "love" is so valuable, why isn't it worth setting up a "love religion"?If people have affection and value affection, they will naturally treat others with benevolence and generosity, which is the essence of affection. "

Ziying pondered for a moment, and then said: "I often hear people say that Buddhism has to cut off the thread of love before one can enter the Tao. The Buddha fears love and abandons love like this. Why do you value love so much that you are supreme and invincible? Don't you mean to rebel against Buddhism on purpose?" ? I’m afraid the world will find it hard to believe and tolerate it.” Baoyu said with a smile: "Sure enough, you have doubts. You don't know that Buddha is the most affectionate person in the world since ancient times. Only because of that affection, he spared no effort to save the suffering of the world. If he is ruthless, why? For the Buddha's heart and Buddha-nature? So my love teaching is in line with the Buddha's original intention, so how can it be contradictory?"

Ziying smiled and said: "What you said is also reasonable. But there is only one thing: you treat people with affection, but people treat you ruthlessly-what can you do? Isn't your affection wasted in vain?" Baoyu said: "That's exactly the case , to establish a Protestant religion, to teach people to be affectionate and to treat each other with affection. If you treat him with sincerity and sincerity, this affection will be conveyed to others. Not only humans can sense, even wood and stone are not really stubborn. If you treat it with true affection, it will answer you with affection.Everything in the world is like this.All things can treat each other with true feelings, and the world will reach a state of great harmony.This is my teaching. "

Ziying nods her head frequently, if she knows something.When I looked up and saw the radiance of the begonia, I was very happy, so I asked Baoyu again: "You have a thorough understanding of emotions, that is, you are a hero of righteousness. If you are not driven by a true feeling, you only rely on a 'merit' You can’t be a true hero if you have empty thoughts. I’m convinced of you. It’s just that I often hear people chanting scriptures, saying that ‘form is emptiness, emptiness is form’. What is the meaning of this? I can’t figure it out. Listen." Baoyu said with a smile: "Ordinary people interpret this Buddhist saying, always thinking that the form is not permanent, and it is empty in the end, and they say that this is the way to see through the world of mortals and get a thorough understanding-I think they are all wrong. Emptiness is not nothing but emptiness. If it is emptiness, it is nothing. Can it give birth to the form of all things? The Buddha said that all things are born from the "Four Great Factors". It is true, there are endless causes and conditions, if the color returns to emptiness, the emptiness will appear again. Such a cycle is endless, how can it not be "emptiness is color"? Look at this crabapple, so beautiful and beautiful, where did it come from? How many days did you say it bloomed? It withers, and returns to the void, so why should the youth of the begonia reappear in the next spring? When people see the begonia, they are all delighted with its beauty.

Since people are in love with Begonia, that Begonia is also in love with me - this is called "transmitting love into color".This love is endless, endless, it has the power of integrity, and this power is indestructible.The ancients said: Sincerity leads to clarity, and clarity leads to communication; and it also says: Where there is sincerity, gold and stone will open.That's the reason.Therefore, I realized: the so-called emptiness is also a pseudonym, and the emptiness contains the essence of all things, the aura of the human heart.This is the so-called "Wu Kong is the form" - that is, the true meaning of "emptiness is form".My love teaching is also a kind of wish power of great compassion - it is different from things, and it is also different from desires.My love is also like the Buddha said, no one has a face, no self, and the pain and joy of others are my pain and joy.Being able to reach this place, Ziying sighed, and said: "Sure enough, there is something interesting. Although my brother is stupid, I have yet to attend the meeting carefully, but I have already confessed my heart. I will regard you as the leader, and we will practice it-don't care about the world. Slander!"

Just as he was talking, the young man came, handed over a small box and Ziying, and said: "Master Shi's jade is finished, please have a look at it, sir, if there is anything wrong, go and polish it." Ziying hurriedly took it and opened it, holding it in her palm, when the two looked up together, they saw that imitation psychic jade, crystal clear and fresh, with clear and fine characters, it was comparable to the lost real jade, very eye-catching and lovely.Then he ordered the young servant to reward the old master generously.Ziying put the jade on the neck of Baoyu and said seriously: "Take it with you and treat it with sincerity. Even if it is fake, it can become true. This is a good omen!"
