Could it be that there is a deviation in my memory?
¡°After all, the first time I met the Bodhisattva was when I was a human being in the Yang world, which has been more than a hundred years ago.
After thinking about it, I walked around Wugentan again, especially those claustrophobic caves I had never been to before, and I looked carefully.
But nothing was found.
This place has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no trace of another space.
I had no choice but to go around and around, and finally I returned to the bottom of the Rootless Pool where I met the Bodhisattva in my memory.
I can¡¯t help but feel a little anxious and a little disappointed.
The feeling now is like being a slave to someone else. I know that Wu Mie is trying to use Kunshan Lochia to damage the Chaos Clock, but I have no way to stop him. What makes me even more depressed is that I don¡¯t have the means to fight him head on.
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, they all say that you have wonderful calculations. Why didn't you calculate the severity of Kunshan's lochia?" I sat slumped on the spot and sighed secretly: "It seems that not only I, Luo Bu, make mistakes, but also the bad ones. You can see the world as if you were watching fire, and you also have an invisible future."
"While I was mumbling to myself like a sister-in-law, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something shining in the mud.
Subconsciously, I felt that this object was not simple. I stepped forward and pushed aside the mud to see that it turned out to be a small relief sculpture.
It turns out that just under the mud, there is a pure black rock.
I dug a foot square, but I couldn¡¯t see the edge of the black stone. The exposed part was carved with a nose and eyes. I looked at it carefully twice, and it seemed to be a dog. This time zh uiwen.org Zhang Si
How could anyone carve a dog in this place?
I dug around the dog again. When the area was two meters square, two more people appeared on the big black stone.
The images of these two characters are very distinct, one is an old man and the other is a young man.
The old man is wearing a cassock and has a thin figure, but his eyes are very expressive. He seems to be an eminent monk.
As for the young man, he looks like a novice monk. The body is decorated with orbs and lotus flowers that are inappropriate for her age, which makes her look a little frivolous.
There is no doubt that this is a Buddhist painting. No matter how stupid I am, I can still tell that this is a story between two monks.
The only place in the underworld that can be linked to Buddhism is Bodhisattva¡¯s tearing apart hell.
It seems that this relief should have been carved by the people who tore apart hell.
But, Bodhisattva is not free enough to engage in artistic creation.
I walked around the black stone three times, and something suddenly came to my mind, which was a Buddhist koan - dogs have no Buddha nature.
Back then, I went to the Torn Hell to see the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva used this koan to test me.
Look at this relief, isn¡¯t it just two monks and a dog?
The old monk must be Zen Master Zhaozhou, who is famous for his ascetic practice, and the young monk, pointing at the dog and laughing, must be a junior disciple. This junior disciple deliberately rambled and asked the Zhaozhou monk, "Everyone in the world has Buddha nature, so does this dog also have Buddha nature?"
That¡¯s right, once you think about it clearly, you will see Yue Shun. This is clearly the public case.
How could such a relief appear in the mud at the bottom of Rootless Pond?
Is it a coincidence? Or is it something the Bodhisattva did deliberately?
You know, at that time, only Bodhisattva, myself and Liu Dajin knew about the public case. If this relief was really left by Bodhisattva, maybe it was really a code.
I immediately dug around again, and sure enough, under the two monks, I finally dug up a seal relief saying: Does the dog have no Buddha nature?
This must be something left by the Bodhisattva. But I looked at the relief and meditated hard, but I couldn't tell whether there were opportunities or secret spells hidden in the relief.
Bodhisattva, how come you, the old man, have learned how to play with flowers?
What exactly do you want to express?
I thought about it again and again, and it seemed that we shouldn¡¯t start with this relief. Since the Bodhisattva used a koan in which the two of us are connected, we should guess the answer from the koan itself.
The purpose of this koan left by monk Zhaozhou was to prevent future generations of monks from talking nonsense about Buddha nature and being obsessed with attaining enlightenment. As the saying goes, if you insist on existence, you will destroy existence. If you insist on emptiness, you will destroy emptiness. If you have attachment, your attachment will be destroyed. If you mistakenly believe that there is no attachment, your attachment of "non-attachment" will be destroyed. Therefore, if there is an answer to this koan, it is that this sentence should not be asked.In other words, all those who ask "Do dogs have Buddha nature?" are the kind of people who are obsessed with past lives but cannot achieve enlightenment. Only those who are dedicated to Taoism can reach the pinnacle of success in a matter-of-fact way.
When I thought of this answer, I immediately thought about it.
You have to try everything boldly. Whether the Bodhisattva and I have a tacit understanding depends on this. Since the question asked by the young monk in the koan is nonsense, it is better not to ask.
I squatted down, turned to spiritual practice, took the colored glaze in the palm of my hand, and applied it vigorously to the line of words.
Under the scorching heat of the glazed glass and the force of my palms, I wiped out the five seal characters one by one: "The dog has no Buddha nature."
"The moment the last word disappeared, the mud under my feet suddenly bubbled up, and there were springs oozing water everywhere at the bottom of the Rootless Pond.
Thick black water quickly rolled up from below, and the Wugentan, which had dried up for a long time, was filled with black water in the blink of an eye.
I realized that the painting itself was a seal.
The rootless pond that originally disappeared was sealed under this stone painting by the Bodhisattva.
After the black water filled the entire Rootless Pond, those long-lost Nine-turn duckweeds also grew quickly. Under the black water, if you look at it with ordinary eyes, you can hardly see anything, but I am different. I have Qi Bo eyes, and I am well versed in the ways of the scale clan. Therefore, in my eyes, under the black water, it is like The outside world is the same.
Under the wash of the spring water, I recognized more and more that this black stone with carved Buddhist paintings was the huge stone where the Bodhisattva transformed into a young monk and sat in parallel.
Standing on the black stone, I clearly felt a force surging under the stone.
"Open!" I stamped my feet vigorously. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
With a pop, the black stone suddenly turned over.
At this time, we saw clearly that this so-called black stone turned out to be a huge tortoise shell. The tortoise shell rotated 180 degrees, carrying a wave that swept me under the carapace
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although the tortoise ours is black, but there are still the undulations of the spring water, and the swaying of the duckweeds, then the lower part of the tortoise shell is completely black, and so black and silent. Looking around, it was pitch black everywhere, as if we were in a world darker than the underworld. The most important thing is that this seemed to be a deep stream with no end. It really looked like the Kunshan Mountain at the end of the muddy land ¡
