Chapter 205: Monk Note Chen Zhiyu

This young monk is the presidency of the temple, abbot, and the Dharma name is Zanruo.

Just now, he was chanting scriptures with monks in front of him, but he didn't feel anything. As soon as he came over, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

This host is really young.

It seems that if you are about the age of thirties and less than forty, you will be the head of the hospital at such an age, and you can be called young and have a purpose.

Even if the temple is not big and is located in a remote location, there are at least twenty or thirty monks in the courtyard. It can stand out, which shows that the hosting is outstanding in Buddhism. It can maintain the lives of so many people and the operation of the temple, and it should have unique management features. In addition, this monk's background makes people look up to it.

After hearing the greetings, Ming Fashen clasped his hands and replied, "I haven't seen you for some time. Judging from your appearance, you have made some progress in Buddhism."

"Prajna is like the sea, there is no diligence," said Chanruo, the host shook his head, his tone of sincerity, not humility, but true feelings. "You are here with Teacher Mingfa, and you should be famous scholars who went north to discuss Taoism. Did you come here to worship Buddha?"

He knew the origin of everyone, but he understood it as soon as he thought about it. Chen Zhi had come in advance, so it was not surprising that the news of Xingtan's argument came out. Moreover, with the situation of Pian Ruo Seng, even if he received an invitation from Qingzhou, it would not be surprising.

When they changed their mind, Zan Ruo Seng was already the first to say, "I see how many of you are very interested in the words left by Master Chen, so I can discuss it."

When Xun Zhe and others heard this, they went over to see the ceremony one by one. Then Xun Zhe asked impatiently: "The master talked to Chen Zhi about whether there is any or not. In the end, what is the mystery in the words he left behind?"

"No," Zan Ruo Seng shook his head, and everyone was stunned when he saw it. He thought that the little novice monk had hidden something or was just a lie. Then he heard Zan Ruo say: "What Mr. Chen said was not the classics and the existence or non-famous teachings, but the 'knowledge' of my Buddhism."

"ah?"

This answer stunned everyone.

But Sun Min found it interesting, pointed to the words left on the wall and asked, "Then how can this be explained? Inaction and action are obvious Taoist words."

Zan Ruo Monk still shook his head and said, "The inaction and action of this sentence are not the focus. The ignorance in the previous article is the key. Master Chen has understood the mystery of ignorance that omniscience is omniscience. Only by knowing the ignorance of Prajna, can he observe the truth of heaven and earth."

Everyone looked at each other, especially Wei Ou was even more surprised. He knew very well that Chen Zhi had never shown any tendency towards Buddhism during his stay in Pengcheng, let alone any Buddhist secrets.

"When I was in Pengcheng, I heard a lot of rumors, saying that Chen Zhi had studied farming schools, wrote calligraphy, discussed Legalism, classical studies, Confucianism, and even the art of Mohism. But I didn't listen to him studying Buddhism. And from some details, Chen Zhi had no tendency towards Buddhism. Why did Chen Zhi suddenly gain the great wisdom of Buddhism in this praise-like monk? There must be a problem here!"

There were many people who had the same idea as him, but the only one who asked directly was Sun Min.

"Is this Chen Zhi's original words?" Sun Min had a smile on her face, "He is using Taoist words to comment on Buddhism?"

Zan Ruo Seng was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Third Master Chen himself did not mean this. According to his statement, he used Buddhist language as annotations to explain Taoist words."

As soon as they said this, everyone looked at each other and felt more and more bizarre.

According to the monk's previous words, everyone thought it was Chen Zhi who used Taoist words to comment on Buddhist words, which made it a taste of spreading Buddhism through the Middle Earth articles. But when Sun Min asked, everyone suddenly realized that the facts were simply the opposite. Chen Zhi used Buddhist sentences to explain the spirit of Taoism, which was clearly a technique of debate. Chen Zhi used the other party's weapons to express his ideas in the debate with Buddhists, and used his spear to attack his shield.

As a result, when Chen Zhi left, the host distorted his willingness, but when someone asked, he told the truth.

Zan Ruo Monk looked ashamed and said, "The donor Chen has a deep Buddha nature, but he has not noticed it himself. The state of "ignorance and omniscience" he said is higher than Xunzi's "emptiness and oneness and quietness". He is actually an enlightened person without intention."

Everyone understood this. It turned out that this person regarded Chen Zhi as a Buddha nature and gave a judgment. The key was that he believed in his own judgment, so he was confident that he was righteous. This was a manifestation of his extreme belief in his belief.

Sun Min smiled and said, "Master's words are not authentic. You are willing to use Chen Zhi's words to prove your point of view. Are you optimistic about Chen Zhi?"

As soon as he said that, others reacted.

Yes!

Chen Zhi said something and was misinterpreted by this monk to prove the Buddhist words, but the problem is that Chen Zhi's words must be correct? Unless Chen Zhi's words can represent some authority to a certain extent.

Once this idea is straightened out, everyone's expressions become strange.

Zan Ruo Seng didn't care about it and opposed Mingfa Sangseng: "Master Ming, Donor Chen is a person with great wisdom. If he can enter my Buddhism, he will be able to spread the Dharma. I have asked clearly. He has not yet married, so he may have been out of the world. If he has not been warned, he will take advantage of the situation and should ask as soon as possible. Fortunately, the teacher went north to Qingzhou and still has the chance to meet Donor Chen, so he might as well ask."

As soon as this said, everyone was frozen in the wind, and their perception of Chen Zhi became complicated. He left a sentence and made the monk think about it, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

The most embarrassing thing was Ming Fashen. He just smiled and didn't respond. He followed the conversation and talked about Buddhist principles.

Suddenly, the monk Zan Ruo was intrigued and pulled a few people to the main hall to talk about Buddhism.

It was said to be the main hall, but the mountains were simple, and in terms of size, it was like the main hall of a wealthy family. Several people sat on the cushion, and as they were talking, they circled back to Chen Zhi and talked about that sentence.

Soon, the three of them were able to continue the conversation, Cao Qing, Sun Min and Xun Zhe. The Ming Fashen bowed his head and said nothing, giving people a profound and unfathomable feeling, but looking at his expression, it didn't seem like he was thinking.

……………………

On the other hand, Chen Zhi's convoy passed by two small towns and approached Wuyuan County. Several of his colleagues were gathering in Chen Zhi's carriage and talking about their experiences in the past two days.

But the scene around Pengcheng was nothing new to Liu Gang, and it was not attractive to Lu Ying, Tao Ya, and Zhao Xing. So after saying a few words, the topic turned to the conversation between Chen Zhi and the temple that day at Buzhenkong Temple.

"Brother Chen, I haven't understood what you discussed with that monk in the temple. Among them, Liu Gang had the lowest grade and was relatively least burdened. He had no scruples when asked.

As soon as he asked this question, everyone's attention was concentrated.

In the temple that day, the conversation between Chen Zhi and Zan Ruo Seng sounded quite brilliant, and it was difficult for people to ignore it. However, Buddhism likes cleverness and is not clear about it, so it is necessary for people to understand it by themselves. This made Tao Ya and others quite confused and confused.

Chen Zhi heard this, laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. The words of Master Zanruo actually reflect his view of the world. The Buddhist teachings he has studied are unique, but because of his host, there are deviations and some things that are difficult to escape."

Tao Yaqi said: "What is the deviation? Will it also affect the understanding of Buddhism as a host?"

Chen Zhi said: "Buddhism is a kind of thought, way of thinking, or even a certain spirit, but a temple is an organization and an entity. Using entities to spread the spirit is inevitable. For example, Praise the monk advocates that everything is empty, but as a host, he is obsessed with the ceremony of worshiping Buddha. Is everything empty, but the Buddha statue is real? I just put forward this view, there is no complicated thing."

"That's it?" Liu Gang was very surprised.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, Buddhism and temples cannot be generalized, just like the spirit of a hundred schools of thought and academies. Many academies originate from the same classics and finally developed different opinions because the classics carry the spirit, but the academies are an organization composed of people. The difference in people's understanding of classics is the crux of the crux."

"I seem to understand a little." Liu Gang nodded, and the others in the car breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell into deep thought.

Chen Zhi looked at everyone without saying much. He knew clearly that Pang Ruo Seng's thought was an idealistic idea, and he pursued logical consistency. In fact, he could not speak too much, otherwise he would easily have a confusion in his thinking.

At this time, Chen Ju came over to inform everyone that Wang Xi from Wuyuan County led five riders to greet him.

"Brother Wang is intent." When Chen Zhi heard this, he got out of the car with a smile and prepared to meet his old friend. The people in the car were still thinking about Chen Zhi's meaning.

"Isn't the same classic and different propositions the same cause of annotation of classics? Different statements, different propositions will be born if the same sentences, break sentences, and different propositions are born."

……………………

A few hours later, Ming Faseng and others who were visiting the mountain temple went down the mountain after a difficult mountain road.

"Then Chen Zhi used Taoist remarks to Buddhists. This is a debate technique. No matter how you think about it, it was the monk who misinterpreted Chen Zhi's willingness..."

On the way, Cao Qing suddenly said this and he was thinking all the way.

Xun Zhe frowned and shook his head and said, "You can't say that either. You have heard Master Zanruo's explanation of that sentence. It's very clear that it is an explanation in the Prajna Sutra, and Chen Zhi's words are also in line with the scriptures."

Sun Min laughed.

Xun Zhe turned his head and asked, "Brother Sun, why are you laughing at?"

Sun Mi said, "I'm laughing. The monk in the temple unknowingly made an annotation for Chen Zhi's words, but the meaning after the annotation is explained in Buddhist terms. Now, you are here again to discuss the meaning after the annotation."

Cao Qing laughed and nodded when he heard this, "Senior Brother is right, but I don't know what Chen Zhi meant. "

While speaking, the people with complex emotions returned to Xiekou Town. After a night, they set off again early the next morning and arrived in Wuyuan County two days later.
