    The dinner was held in the living room of Yu Tian's apartment.

    Before Xiuran's mother, Jie Tian'er, died, she entrusted her son to her eldest brother Jiexusi to take care of him. After his father Zhao Qisu passed away, Jiexuan took Xiuran, who was still a child, into his home for enlightenment.  During this period, Qingwan often went to Jiexisi's house to take lessons.

    The two were childhood sweethearts, just as you and I were immersed in a sweet and beautiful love, but their aunt Yu Xin intervened and insisted on marrying Qingwan to her youngest son Jie Guangyang as her own daughter-in-law.  Unexpectedly, something happened to Qing Wan when she was discussing the marriage.  Qing Wan, who was supposed to be a "little lady from every family", suddenly became a trouble that no one beckoned to.  Yu Yannian's father racked his brains, giving the dowry and land deed, so the Zhen family took over.

    After Qingwan got married, the disheartened and hopeless Xiuran became a monk.

    [1] "Diamond Sutra" Buddhist scriptures

    All Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas,

    Should such a pure mind be born,

    Don't live in color to give birth to the heart,

    Don't let the sound and fragrance touch your heart.

    The heart should be born without a place to live.

    Now, Qingwan and Xiuran have come to the villa again. Is it possible to reunite the old dream?  Jiexisi pondered in his heart: how to find out what happened!  If this is the case, Jiexisi intends to fulfill the two of them.

    The maid poured wine for everyone one by one, but when it came to Xiuran, he blocked the cup with his hand and said, "I~ drink tea!"

    "Let's have a drink. Uncle hasn't seen you for more than half a year. I'm happy today" Jiemusi said with a smile, "Besides, our Dayuan monks are not so particular"

    Seeing Jiexisi's eagerly looking eyes, Xiuran reluctantly moved his hand away.

    ? Xiuran has seldom talked since he was a child, and since he became a monk, he has become even more reticent.  He looked around, and asked a rare question: "Why don't you see Aunt Xue?"

    Jiemusi laughed and said, "She, like you, has entered Buddhism, but she practices at home." Then he raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink for Xiuran's family reunion." See  Xiuran took a sip of the wine, and said, "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, bring this vegetable dish to Xiuran."

    The servant girl did so immediately.

    Jiemusi asked Xiuran again: "I heard from the abbot of the 'Ganlu Temple' that you came to the 'Binglin Temple' to learn the "Chengshi Lun"?"

    "Yes." Xiuran replied.

    "Can you tell everyone what this Buddhist scripture talks about?" Jiexisi teased him to talk more.

    Xiuran said: ""Accomplishment of Reality" is a Buddhist treatise. It was written by Harivarman of Tianzhu Kingdom. Accomplishment of Reality means the realization of the Four Noble Truths. It is to oppose the theory of "hinayana theory" and "all dharmas really exist".  , advocating 'human law and emptiness', and promoting the four truths of suffering, origin, extinction, and Tao."

    Jiexisi asked again: "The concept of 'suffering' is an extremely important principle in the Buddhist scriptures, and it runs through the Four Noble Truths in the early Buddhist scriptures.  How is the concept of 'suffering' explained in "On Reality"?"

    Xiuran said: "The emergence of "Chengshi Lun" was because the Buddhist scholars at that time were dissatisfied with the chaotic interpretations of the Buddha's teachings by various schools and schools at that time, and they wanted to reorganize the principles of the Four Noble Truths and promote the basic teachings of Buddhism. In its  In the discussion of the view of suffering, it focuses on explaining suffering from the perspective of feeling, that is, the three feelings of "suffering, happiness, and neither suffering nor happiness" are all causes of suffering, and pleasant feeling is a false appearance, and neither painful nor pleasant feeling is also a false appearance. The real  , only suffering. Therefore, in order to obtain the wisdom of the Buddhist scriptures, or get rid of the troubles such as 'greed, anger, and ignorance' caused by the three feelings, it is necessary to do real visualization of all feelings, and realize that all feelings are just painful feelings, so as to tend to mud  Huan."

    "Buddhist scriptures are so vast that they are too numerous to read." Jiexisi drank a glass of wine and said, "Actually, we only need to read one of them, and we will benefit from it for life. This scripture is the "Diamond Sutra". Then, "Diamond Sutra"  What is the core idea of ??the Sutra? There are only eight words¡ªshould have no place to live, but give birth to its heart.

    What does "live" in "should have nowhere to live" mean?

    Living phase, 'phase' means that we distinguish all things and all people in the world into high and low, and if we still stay in this distinction, it is called 'living phase'.  Therefore, don't pray for results when doing things, but have the heart to do it seriously.

    The Pure Land and the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss are not only in the west, or some ethereal place, they can also be right beside you, right now.  Just like your Aunt Xue, the Buddhist hall is in my heart.

    We are all literate and virtuous people, why not as good as an illiterate woman?

    This heart has nowhere to live!  Because you don't understand that this mind has no place to live, and nothing to live in is empty after all.  It is not right to have a realm of emptiness, and you have to live in it, and you live in the emptiness. That is the law of dwelling and the mind, and you live in the law of emptiness.?The industrial and commercial operations of monasteries are of course related to government tax revenue.  The government sometimes prohibits the release of temple camps, and sometimes orders them to pay taxes.  The government also prohibits the abbots and monks from all over the place to hide the resident golden valley as their own, build retreated private houses, and open depots (see volume 33 of "Yuan Dian Zhang").

    In the 30th year of Zhiyuan (1293), he ordered the mansion shop of monks and temples and merchants to stop (hotels), and the goods were taxed according to regulations ("Yuan History" Volume 17).  Later, there were explicit orders from time to time to make monks and Taoists pay taxes for businessmen.  In particular, those monks on Hexi Road who have wives should be sent out, taxed and fed, paved horses, and housed like ordinary people; in order to prevent rich households from pretending to be monks and avoid servants ("Yuan Shi. Criminal Law Records" volume 103  ).

    (4) Others

    In addition to the traditional sects of Buddhism in the Yuan Dynasty, there were also sects such as the Baiyun Sect and the Bailian Sect in the south of the Yangtze River.  Both of these two families originated in the late Song Dynasty, and both advocated chanting Buddha and practicing vegetable food, but the Bailian sect had different wives and families.  The White Lotus Sect was advocated by the Salmon Ziyuan of the Yanxiang Academy in Suzhou in the Song Dynasty.  Ziyuan claimed to be the mentor of Bailian, and his apprentice was named "Bailian Cairen".  Due to the rapid development of this sect, Ziyuan was exiled to Jiujiang, and the sect was disbanded.  Later, Xiaomao Zhali gathered believers and advocated again, but his views were far behind ("Shimen Orthodoxy. Denouncing Hypocrisy").  In addition, after being banned, Bailian was revived in Mount Lu due to the activities of Pudu, the suzerain of Youtan.  "Lushan Lotus Mirror" written by Pudu aims to highlight the teachings of Ziyuan, and to refute the heterodoxy of Zhu Shenbao in Zhangde and Gaoxiandao in Guangxi at that time.  In the third year of Zhida (1310), he entered the capital in person, submitted the letter of the Bailian sect, and carried out the revival movement of the Bailian sect, which was recognized by the Xuanzheng Yuan.  From then on, those who were recognized by the court in the White Lotus Sect were generally called the authentic ones, and those that were not recognized were called the evil ones ("Lushan Fujiao Ji" compiled by Ming Guoman).  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
