Chapter 10 10. Xilai

Monk Shenxiu told Buer to go to the mortar house to the east of the warehouse to look for him after cleaning the toilet in the morning. The weather is getting hotter, and this year the vegetation and animals are screaming very loudly. After a gust of wind, the vegetation kills and kills, and the birds ah, and the little beasts chase the birds in the sky for a while.Venus is retrograde, and the monk Shenxiu feels that some things will come sooner than expected, such as the handing over of the mantle by the great monk Hongren, such as the death of the great monk Hongren. Yesterday, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi sent a letter, saying that he must go to Chang'an in the near future, and he wanted him to select 200 outstanding monks who speak the Kucha language from all over the country, revive the translation of scriptures, and have a good understanding of Buddhism. It is a good thing, and it is a good thing for Chinese.Emperor Li Zhixin's preliminary idea was to send twenty monks to the Western Regions every year, such as Kucha, Dayuezhi, Dashi, Anxi, Tianzhu, and Daqin, to go further than Xuanzang and bring back the latest Buddhist scriptures, military books, Craftsmanship, grain harvest, military deployment and court struggles in various countries along the way are good things for Buddha, good things for Chinese, and good things for Tang Dynasty.At the end of the letter, Emperor Li Zhi warned that Monk Hongren did not necessarily need to know about this matter. He is old and exhausted, and he will be exhausted if he talks to each of the 200 monks in the translation hall every day. up.Emperor Li Zhi told Monk Shenxiu that he had written another letter to Monk Hongren, saying that three eminent monks had come from Tianzhu, and hoped that Dongshan Temple would send several eminent monks to discuss Buddhism. Monk Shenxiu leads the team to Chang'an.

Beginning with the first Patriarch Bodhidharma, the transfer of the mantle of Zen Buddhism has always been kept secret and carried out in a completely closed state. Except for the previous suzerain who handed over the mantle, no one else knows the operation process, selection criteria, risk control, etc.Among the living people, except the great monk Hongren, no one has even seen this set of robes, and no one knows where the robes are stored.Because it is kept secret, there are various legends.Some said that the cassock was covered with gold thread and covered with various precious stones that are rare in the world, such as coral, turquoise, crystal, amber, white jade, and tourmaline, each of which was the size of a chestnut. When it was taken out in the dark night, it shook people If you can't keep your eyes open, in a dry year, if the great monk wears it and recites scriptures for two hours, it will rain heavily.Some say that the bowl is a small golden bowl with four winged horses carved in high relief. It used to be a sacred object of Nestorianism, Islamism, and Zoroastrianism. It was finally brought to Middle Earth by Bodhidharma. , put ten grains of rice in the bowl, and in a blink of an eye there will be a bowl full of rice, enough to feed thousands of people.There is also another saying that the clothes are ordinary cassocks, and the bowl is an ordinary rice bowl, which was used by the first ancestor Bodhidharma. No matter how you wash it, you can't wash off the smell after Bodhidharma used it for many years as a Indian. keepsake.An even more extreme statement is that there is no mantle at all, and the mantle is just a symbolic statement. In fact, there is no mantle and no bowl. It is said that when Monk Daoxin passed the mantle to Monk Hongren, he just hugged Monk Hongren fiercely, and each other smiled.

Summarizing the four passing of the mantle that has taken place, monks of all ages have reached some consensus.First, the suzerain of the previous generation has absolute decision-making power. One person decides who gets the mantle. He does not need to discuss with anyone, and he can even oppose the common opinion of everyone.Second, after the suzerain of the previous generation handed over the mantle, he often passed away very quickly, often with a solemn and peaceful appearance and a smile on his face.At the time of his death, the weather and personnel were abnormal, and all boys were born within a year of June Xue, Dong Lei, and a hundred miles around the temple.Thirdly, the monks who participated in the competition for the mantle but did not get the mantle in the end often passed away very quickly, often with an ugly appearance, with obvious signs of being poisoned or hit by blunt objects, their penises were chopped off, and their testicles were crushed.Fourth, although understanding of the Dharma is the only criterion that should be considered, looking at the past four transfers of the mantle, it seems that the performance, ability and potential of the successors in attracting donations, recruiting believers, and clinging to the powerful have been considered comprehensively.

Monk Shenxiu has repeatedly calculated his odds over the past few years.In Dongshan Temple, both donations from Shenxiu and dignitaries from Shenxiu accounted for an absolute majority.Compared with Huineng's, the number of believers is an order of magnitude. If you count carefully, there are still more Shenxiu.As for the matter of mastering the Dharma, there is no standard in the first place. Who has ever seen a Buddha?Confucius' remarks were recorded as the Buddha who was close to the time of Confucius, and no words were left.Shenxiu thought: "Having the Tao is not hemorrhoids. Who knows if I have achieved the Tao? I claim to have achieved the Tao, but who can prove that I have not? There is no standard for being good-looking or not. The key is to grasp the standard." In whose hands."

The last time Emperor Gaozong gave wine to Dongshan Temple, Hongren said that drinking without virtue is easy to get drunk, and getting drunk is easy to go on the evil path of mad Zen. Besides, the amount of wine is really small, why don't you drink it by yourself.Before eating the next day, Hongren's old face was more bloated than usual, and his eyes were straight. He said, I saw two people in the courtyard in front of the Buddhist hall of Dongshan Temple, one was a nun and the other was also a nun.What does it mean? A monk said: It shows the attitude of the great monk Hongren in pursuing the ultimate way.I have been enlightened for many years, but I still admit that I went back and forth for a while, and saw that the demon in my heart was like a poisonous dragon, thousands of feet high.

A monk said: It shows that there is no difference in the ultimate way.A Zen temple is a nunnery, a monk is a nun, and one is two.The Daoism of Great Monk Hongren is really profound. A few monks left Dongshan Temple silently, thinking, what the fuck, what kind of shit, how do I know? Hongren asked Shenxiu by name, and Shenxiu said: Monk Hongren did not directly say that he saw two nuns, but said that one was a nun and the other was also a nun.Hong Ren nodded without speaking, and then asked Huineng.Hui Neng said, where are the nuns?Where is the nun?The old monk pointed it out to me.Hongren didn't nod his head, and didn't speak.

After a pause, Hongren made a concluding speech. It seems that in the future, if there is wine, I have to drink it alone. However, no matter how there is no standard for attaining the Tao, everything else is ready for Shenxiu now, and the only thing that can further increase the chances of winning is to be familiar with the teachings and study the Dharma diligently. If Shenxiu rereads the scriptures of the Langa system or the Prajna system, it will not help the matter.From the first patriarch Bodhidharma, to the second patriarch Huike, to the third patriarch Sengcan, to the fourth patriarch Daoxin, and now to the fifth patriarch Hongren, the teachings of Zen are all taught by Zen masters, without any words.Monk Shenxiu started to sort out this kind of word-of-mouth writing very early on. This kind of sorting was done completely in secret, and the last one who wrote the record was Monk Shenxiu himself.Monk Shenxiu often couldn't fully understand his records. He didn't criticize himself too much. He blamed the flaws of the monks' cultivation at that time and the slips of the tongue and ears during the long-term repeated exchanges.Over the past ten years in secret, Monk Shenxiu has recorded more than 300 communication scenes. He is very sure that among all senior Zen monks, he is the only one who has such complete records. These records or similar variants will be directly used to confirm In the process of attaining enlightenment and selecting the next generation of leaders.

This record book was only read by Monk Shenxiu.As the examiner, he randomly selected from these more than 300 records, and did mock questions and answers with Monk Shenxiu. Monk Shenxiu was not wary of Bu Er.Fuji is still a child, and his penis is not yet fully developed.Bu Er is a toilet cleaner, and it has nothing to do with old monk Hongren and monk Huineng, and it has nothing to do with anyone.Buer's mouth is tight, and he doesn't gossip.Monk Shenxiu tested the degree of tightness of the mouth.Monk Shenxiu chatted with Buer for the first time and told Buer that old monk Hongren's ligaments are better than that of the first ancestor Bodhidharma, the second ancestor Huike, the third ancestor Sengcan, and the fourth ancestor Daoxin. Bend over to give yourself blowjob.After three months, no one else told Shenxiu that Hongren could give herself oral sex.If someone spread it and Hongren found out, the unlucky one would be Bu Er first, and then Monk Huineng.Even if it was said by the monk Shenxiu, who would believe it?Monk Shenxiu is so handsome, he has never uttered a single dirty word in his life, and Huineng never leaves his mouth.The second time, Monk Shenxiu told Bu Er that Monk Huineng actually knew many characters, and the words in his dreams were often Wang Changling's poems.Needless to say, he already knew this.For the third time, the monk Shenxiu told Buer that the old monk Hongren's greatest hobby was sodomy.Not to mention, this is wrong. Hongren loved sodomy in the past. At that time, his cultivation level was still low. Hongren liked sodomy because he had never seen a beautiful woman. Now his cultivation level is high, and now he loves women. He does not need women or young monks. , without using his own hands, imagining the beautiful woman in his heart, he can also climax anytime and anywhere.

Taking the exercise book, Buer asked Shenxiu, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming to the West?" Shenxiu said, "The ivy in front of the court." Buer then asked, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming from the West?" Shenxiu said, "Has the rain dripped from the eaves?" Buer then asked, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming from the West?" Shenxiu said, "I'll tell you after I drink up the water from the Yellow River." Buer then asked, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming from the West?"

Shenxiu said, "I have eight pack abs and I want to fuck you." Buer then asked, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming from the West?" Shenxiu said, "Go back first, and come back later." Buer then asked, "What is the meaning of Patriarch Bodhidharma's coming from the West?" Shenxiu didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and said, "Buer, you will be worse than me in the future. You said, when Patriarch Bodhidharma first came here, he definitely didn't have this kind of problem. He came to the West by himself, of course he knew why he came. When the second patriarch, Huike, didn’t always have such questions. Bodhidharma’s Chinese is so poor, and he kept silent, most likely he wouldn’t ask Huike. Now I have almost ten kinds of answers. When you grow up Big, there must be hundreds of kinds. You are miserable, consider returning to vulgarity."

Buer said: "Shenxiu, do you know that Bodhidharma came to China because of no other choice. Not long after Buddhism was founded, sectarian disputes occurred, and Sakyamuni and his cousin Devadatta began to be at odds. Sakyamuni Ni said, I will go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and everyone who believes in me will go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. There are vaginas everywhere, and there are yogurt and ghee everywhere in the vagina. Just think about it and you will go to hell. Devadatta said, I will go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss , there are vaginas everywhere, yogurt and ghee are everywhere in the vagina, just thinking about it is bliss, and you will go to hell. Later, Shakyamuni developed more believers than Devadatta, richer, and murderous. Devadatta sect Bodhidharma is the new generation leader of this sect, the third son of King Xiangzhi of Tianzhu Kingdom, who was hunted down by the Shakyamuni sect and fled to China." Shenxiu said, "Who did you hear that from?" Buer said: "Bodhidharma left a Sanskrit diary and a Chinese translation, which are hidden in the futon where he meditated. Have you not seen it? In fact, there are even more mysterious places. How can Bodhidharma escape?" So far? He got funding from the Great Food Kingdom, and the Great Food Kingdom gave him twenty camels, in case he couldn’t resist fucking the camels in the desert, and gave him two strong women. The Great Food Kingdom wanted to know , How powerful is the Middle-earth Empire, what is controlling the minds of human beings there, does Dashi have a chance to challenge the Middle-earth Empire, etc. As soon as Bodhidharma entered Kucha, I was followed by the Middle-earth Empire, and he did not dare to stop. Tubo left a few pamphlets and ran to Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, he met Emperor Wu of Liang. Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma, what is the first essence of Buddhism? Bodhidharma said, there is no essence. Emperor Wu of Liang asked again Bodhidharma, who am I facing? Bodhidharma said, I don’t know. Emperor Wu of Liang got bored and told Bodhidharma to walk. Bodhidharma went north again and arrived at Shaolin Temple. Bodhidharma wrote in his diary that he didn’t think about it. How to fascinate Emperor Wu of Liang in a very short period of time, what kind of monk is he who cannot fascinate the emperor? In order to meet Emperor Wu of Liang, he also gave the eunuch his blood-red rosary beads. Bodhidharma wrote that he is not very good at speaking Foreign monks who speak Chinese, if they carefully analyze Buddhism like the monks that Emperor Wudi of Liang often saw, they must lose. Trying to confuse him. Later, the risky move failed, but the style of the establishment cannot be easily changed, otherwise there will be no chance of overturning. After arriving at Songshan Mountain, I found a cave, faced the wall, and did not say a word. But people spread the word Go, this Tianzhu monk hasn't said a word for a year, this Tianzhu monk hasn't said a word for two years, this Tianzhu monk hasn't said a word for three years, this Tianzhu monk hasn't said a word for four years, this Tianzhu monk hasn't said a word for five years This Tianzhu monk has not spoken a word for six years, this Tianzhu monk has not spoken a word for seven years, this Tianzhu monk has not spoken a word for eight years, this Tianzhu monk has not spoken a word for nine years , This Tianzhu monk has not said a word for ten years. Emperor Wu of Liang still did not send anyone to invite him. Later, he died and passed the mantle to his second ancestor Huike before he died. Emperor Wu of Liang still did not send anyone. This diary , my grandfather asked someone to take it out of the palace to show me. My grandfather, who is in the palace, is powerful and powerful, you have seen it, he is smiling and has no beard." Shenxiu said, "You can show me too, okay?" Bu Er paused, and said: "Actually, I lied to you, and you believe it? Why do you believe everything? My grandfather even arranged for Hong Ren to pass on the mantle to me. I am the Sixth Patriarch, and you all have to give it to me." I bring water for washing feet, do you believe it? When I was cleaning the toilet, I saw it on the wall of the toilet. How can I know Sanskrit? Don’t believe it? If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to the toilet. What I just said is on the wall of the toilet , go see for yourself."
