Hearing the chief ask about Guangzhen, the monk who knew the guest said: "Senior Brother Guangzhen has been away for more than two months, and he has not come back yet, and there is no flying talisman to contact him."
Guangzhen is a monk from Taici Temple. He is only subordinate to the four leaders in the temple, and he is also a direct disciple of Abbot Xuanci. Therefore, even the leader does not know his whereabouts. We only know that he has been away from home frequently in recent years and fell down one year. He was away from the temple for more than half a year, so he said: "If I see him coming back to the temple, let him come to see me."
The monk who knew the guest said "yes" and left.
The first person came to the Zen room in the backyard and went straight to the abbot's courtyard, but did not see the abbot Master Xuansheng. He heard from the monk in the abbot's courtyard that Master Xuansheng was at Yinming Hall, so he turned to Yinming Hall.
When we arrived at the back mountain stream, a simple white low wall surrounded a lonely Buddhist hall. This is where Abbot Xuanci practices daily.
Although the first one is at the pinnacle of the Arhat realm, has passed the examination and insight wisdom, and is only one step away from the Bodhisattva realm, he still dare not step into this hall of fame.
He stepped forward and carefully knocked on the door of the low wall. Someone in the Buddhist hall said: "My nephew is here? Come in." The person who spoke was the abbot Master Xuansheng.
With the abbot's approval, the first one opened the door. After entering, he gently closed the door, turned around, and stepped into the Buddhist hall.
In the Buddhist hall, which is so simple that it can be called a shabby room, there is only one statue of Asanga Bodhisattva. Under the statue of Bodhisattva, two old monks are sitting opposite each other and chatting.
The tall man on the left with a majestic face is the abbot of Taici Temple, Master Xuansheng, who has entered the realm of Bodhisattva. Since Master Xuan Sheng entered the Bodhisattva realm thirty years ago, he has been able to break through the wisdom of equanimity and obedience. Fifteen years ago, he has been able to break through the wisdom of caste and entered the highest realm of insight wisdom. He has reached the Bodhisattva realm of Xixia Buddhism. The top monks are only half a step away from opening up the realm of consciousness and achieving the status of Buddha.
The old monk on the right is much smaller than Xuansheng. Sitting on the futon, he is only half the size of Xuansheng. He has white hair and white beard, which makes him look particularly old. This old monk is one of the five pillars of Xixia Buddhism, the master Xuanci who has attained the status of Buddha, and the national teacher who has been granted the title of Protector of Saints and Protectors by the Lord of the Kingdom.
The leader came in and saluted: "I have met the abbot, uncle, and the abbot, uncle."
Xuanci looked at the leader with a smile and gestured for him to take a seat, so the leader took a futon and sat next to the two of them, saying: "I just received a letter from the Golden Needle Hall of Tianlongyuan, saying that the Taoist sect is causing nuisance in the Jinchuan area of ??Tubo. Ask each temple if there are any monks there. If there are any, be sure to remind them to pay attention. Those who are not well-educated should try to avoid the sharp edges. I thought about it. Junior Brother Guangzhen has often been in the south these years. I want to Contact him and remind him. It¡¯s just that the abbot, Master Uncle, once told you not to take the initiative to contact him by flying talismans, so I came here to report it."
Abbot Xuansheng nodded and said: "I already know about this matter. I will take care of Guangzhen's affairs. You can check the other people in the temple. If there are any in the south, let them come back."
After the chief reported the matter, he went out. After he left, Abbot Xuan Sheng looked at Abbot Xuan Ci and said, "Brother, the Taoist sect has already noticed something."
Xuanci nodded and said nothing.
Xuansheng said again: "Senior brother, please think about it again?"
Xuanci did not answer his words, but suddenly talked about Buddhist practice: "We practice Buddhism and open up the six consciousnesses, which are eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and consciousness. The world calls you Bodhisattva, respect me as the Buddha. In fact, you and I both know that I am just wandering outside the gate of the West. How can I dare to claim this in vain?"
Xuansheng nodded: "Senior brother is right, please keep it in mind. This realm is not a name, and the name has no reality. Senior brother often teaches us that this is the ladder of cultivation, which helps us to climb. If we rely on this ladder to practice, we will abandon our roots. , always only on this ladder."
Xuanci nodded and continued: "The six consciousnesses are not the origin, but the external appearance. Therefore, what we really practice is the sixteen insight wisdom, so as to change the delusion in the original mind, get rid of the confusion of name and form, and seek the other side. Over the years, I have often looked back. From the first knowledge of name and color recognition to the thirteenth caste wisdom, they are actually all in the human world. You are now caste wisdom, which is the pinnacle of the body consciousness world. People in the world call you Bodhisattva, but in fact you are still the same. In the human world. Don't be arrogant. You must know that your body is not in this world, but your heart is still in this world, and you have not been freed from the shackles. You must know how to love others, know how to do good, know that everything is suffering, understand that all things are like smoke, and you will not become a saint because of your body. He despises the world and puts himself above the world because of his caste."
Xuansheng said hurriedly: "Junior brother, I don't dare."
Xuanci said: "Junior brother, work hard. I have great promises for you, senior brother. I hope you will open the realm of consciousness as soon as possible, cut off confusion, and be born in the heart."
Hearing what the abbot said, Xuansheng was shocked: "Brother"
????, not in the human world, the last wisdom returned to the world, reflecting on the past path and results"
Faced with the teachings taught by the senior abbot, Xuansheng did not dare to neglect and remembered them with all his heart.
"the wisdom of the Tao arises from the mind of the Tao, and the mind of the Tao is aided by the wisdom of caste. This wisdom is the right view in the Eightfold Path, that is, the right view of the Four Noble Truths. Its wisdom is like thunder and lightning, getting stronger and brighter, and suddenly appears. , passed away suddenly. When the Tao mind was first born, it was called the path of entry into the stream. It was reborn three times on the higher path and fruit. When it became holy, it no longer fell into the four evil realms. This wisdom is happiness, which is transcendental happiness. The four worldly wisdoms are divided into the Sotapanna path - this is called stream-entry consciousness, the Situagami path - this is called the one-return consciousness, the Anagami path - this is called the non-return consciousness, and the Arahant path - this is the Arahant consciousness"
Dao wisdom is the fourteenth wisdom among the sixteen insight wisdoms, and it is also the first hurdle that needs to be faced after entering the Buddha realm. Xuansheng is now at the pinnacle of the Bodhisattva realm. Maybe when an opportunity comes, he will enter the Buddha realm. Therefore, Xuan Sheng Ci's exposition of Tao Zhi was the most detailed, and Xuan Sheng himself listened very attentively.
After talking about Tao wisdom, Xuanci went on to talk about fruit wisdom. After talking about fruit wisdom, he went on to talk about the last wisdom among the sixteen insights wisdom, the wisdom of reflection. By the time everything was finished, a day and a night had passed.
The two sat facing each other in silence for a long time before Xuanci asked, "Do you remember everything?"
Xuan Sheng said: "I have written it all down, but I still can't understand it."
Xuanci smiled: "It doesn't matter, that's because you didn't walk over. When you walked over, you would see it."
Xuansheng kowtowed and thanked him profusely: "Thank you for your hard work, senior brother." After standing up, he looked at the abbot, senior brother, and was speechless for a long time.
Xuanci said: "You must know that this is not something I can't bear to see. Twenty years ago I began to examine the world, and the past events are still vivid in my mind. One by one, one by one, what I can let go of has already been given away. I can't let it go." Those who are gone need to be resolved. People who are bound to reincarnation are trapped by the ten obstacles: wrong views, doubts about teachings, abstinence and views, desire and greed, anger, lust, colorless greed, conceit, and restlessness. These nine I have seen through the obstacles. The last obstacle is ignorance. I have also seen through it, but it must be ended."
After a pause, Xuanci sighed and said: "Guang Xin's death must be ended, either by him or by myself."
