Chapter 388 Is there any difficulty?
Emperor Chongzhen himself was not very interested in monks debating Buddhism or something.
What kind of wind does not move, but heart does not move. You can make Chongzhen sleepy and want to sleep after listening to these things.
But one thing is that the two Shaolin Temples actually fought each other, which is very interesting. Shouldn’t it be important to note that the world’s bald donkey is a family?
Gradually, Emperor Chongzhen also heard the taste that Nan Shaolin was dissatisfied with Northern Shaolin, or himself.
It cannot be said that he is dissatisfied with himself, but that he is dissatisfied with his act of bringing the imperial edict of Master Kuanhai to the capital.
Regarding contributions to the country and the profound Buddhist teachings, Nan Shaolin felt that he was no worse than Northern Shaolin at all. Why did he let Monk Kuanhai go instead of letting Nan Shaolin's abbot go?
So, under the leadership of the first monk Yongkuan of the Bodhidharma Hall, Nan Shaolin went north to Shaolin Temple in Songshan to find trouble for Northern Shaolin.
It was a coincidence that Emperor Chongzhen met.
Listening to the monks from both sides debated for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't hear that because he was not eating grapes but not spitting out grapes, but not eating grapes but spitting out grapes...
The problem is that Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of Buddhism was limited to grape skins and consecration of miserable women.
After listening for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen, who still didn't understand anything, felt a little bored, so he simply coughed.
After both Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan stopped, Emperor Chongzhen said, "My Buddhism is profound, and I sound a little difficult. If it were ordinary people who listened to it, they would definitely not understand it even more.
Since this is the case, why not I have a question and the two great monks come together to argue?”
Monk Ruxin felt that since Emperor Chongzhen had given Kuanhai abbot to the capital and left it with great importance, he must have been inclined to Northern Shaolin.
The monk Yongkuan of the Southern Shaolin also intends to compete with the bald donkeys of the Northern Shaolin in front of Emperor Chongzhen to show his ability in the Southern Shaolin.
Although the two of them had different ideas, they thought of another place. They immediately shouted the Buddha's name and bowed and said, "Please give the question."
Emperor Chongzhen coughed his throat and said, "I am the common ruler of the world on behalf of the heavenly herders. The people violate the law and have their own sanctions. However, some people always think that by putting down the butcher's knife, you can escape into the monks and become a Buddha on your own. How can you solve it?"
Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan both stumbled in their hearts and thought to themselves that it was not good.
Although Emperor Chongzhen's words were simple and straightforward, they directly hit Buddhism and even all other sects.
If he breaks the law, he converts to the sect. Once he becomes a monk, he avoids the investigation of the government. To put it simply, this is the sect that shelters criminals.
But to put it bluntly, this is stealing the power of the lord.
What do you want to steal the power of the lord? Do you rebel?
Monk Ruxin was a little hesitant for a moment, and this kind of question obviously was a question that was given to the question, no matter how you answer it, it would be fatal.
Just thinking about it, I couldn't answer it, and the bald donkey next to me might not be able to get up to death. For a moment, Monk Ruxin felt a little relieved, anyway, it was also unlucky.
After thinking about it, Monk Yongkuan bowed and said, "Please forgive me for your crime. I think your Majesty's words are inappropriate, which is suspected of being generalized by a single person."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "It's not clear if you don't argue, it's true since ancient times. The great monk said something, and I won't blame him."
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen agreed to his guilt, Monk Yongkuan said, "What Your Majesty has been said since ancient times, but Buddhism has always opened a door of convenience to save the world. There are some lumps mixed in my Buddhist sect."
Monk Ruxin was furious and said fuckingly, "What are you doing when you look at me!" Amitabha Buddha, sins.
Monk Yongkuan ignored Monk Ruxin's expression and continued, "If someone enters the mountain gate and asks the Buddhist sect to shave, the Buddhist sect will only refuse anyone, but it will give illegal people a loophole to exploit.
However, Your Majesty is kind and righteous to the great people, and is very kind to the people. People are kind and good. After all, there are a few people who break the law. There are even fewer people who can enter Buddhism for protection after missing the net. Therefore, I am a monk who says that Your Majesty’s words are biased."
He looked at Emperor Chongzhen quietly and saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unchanged. Monk Yongkuan continued: "Amitus Buddha, the Buddhist temple is quiet, and even though he has saved the world, he has never saved the evil people.
I can assure Your Majesty that after I return to the south, all disciples in my temple who have a previous record will advise them to take the initiative to return to the case. From then on, believers go to my Nan Shaolin Temple to ask for shave, and they will definitely be reported and verified by the government. Those who are not innocent will not shave."
Monk Ruxin stared at Monk Yongkuan and was about to get angry. He changed his mind when he saw the wind, right?
After chanting the Buddha's name a few times but finding that he could not stop the anger in his heart, Monk Ruxin thought to himself that there are also Vajras in Buddhism! Bald donkeys like Yongkuan should be killed with one pestle!
After the angry monk Ruxin shouted the Buddha's name, he bowed and said, "As the ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the world, I should set an example. From now on, those who are not innocent will not be shave their money."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "The two great monks are indeed profound in Buddhism. I feel very comforted, very comforted."
Once, the Brahma King invited the Buddha Shakyamuni to preach on Mount Lingjiu. The Brahma King led everyone to present a golden Brahma flower to the Buddha. After the grand ceremony, everyone stepped aside.
The Buddha picked up a golden Bharat flower, his mind was peaceful, but he didn't say a word. Everyone couldn't understand the meaning, only Mahakasyapa Poyan smiled lightly.
The Buddha immediately announced: "I have the eyes of the Dharma, the wonderful mind of Nirvana, the true form and the subtle Dharma, and do not establish words. They will be taught separately from outside the teachings. I will ask Mahakasyapa."
This story is the beginning of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism advocates not establishing words, using the heart to impress the heart, and spreading them separately outside the teachings.
Now Emperor Chongzhen is a little worse than Buddha, at least he speaks by himself.
But even though this monk Yongkuan is not as good as Mahakasyapa, he has also paid attention to his own meaning.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that his Buddhism was profound and even though he was worse than that of the Buddha, he was not far away.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a relaxed mood, simply said again: "It is naturally good for Buddhism to spread the world, but the only thing is that it makes me worry about it. I wonder if the two great monks can teach me?"
Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan really want to say no, so I will ask you to death.
But looking at the Founder and those factory guard masters behind Emperor Chongzhen, the two had to give up this tempting idea and had to bow and say, "Please make it clear to you."
Emperor Chongzhen's expression was extremely relaxed, but his words were like a heavy hammer: "Buddhist can spread the world, and everyone in the world is my people. If there is no one in the world to pass on, how should I, the emperor, deal with it?"
Not to mention Monk Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan, the other monks in the hall, whether it is the monks from Northern Shaolin or Southern Shaolin, have already lie on the ground. Emperor Chongzhen's words are truly heart-killing.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they all pay attention to saving oneself and others, and to save sentient beings from the boundless sea of suffering in the rolling world.
But after all these ordinary people were circulated, who would pay the emperor's taxes? Who would pay the emperor's taxes? Who would go to perform labor service? Who would go to join the army to defend the country?
Even this question is simply proposed for Buddhism. At least Taoist priests often enter the army, and Buddhism is really waiting for the believers to offer it.
The first question of Emperor Chongzhen was that if he only punched the life gates of Buddhist and Taoist sects, this would be no more than a punch.
Just put the knife around your neck and gesture.
As a sound of apologizing sounded, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Get up, get up. I just said that I just wanted to argue, and there is no other meaning."
Monk Ruxin, who stood up with everyone, thought to himself that she would argue with your grandma! As soon as this kind of proposition is released, who dares to argue with you?
Since you, the dog emperor, asked such a question, I am afraid that the army is already at the foot of the mountain? Look at the eyes of the hawks behind you who dare to choose people and eat them.
The thousand-year-old Zen ancestral courtyard is over today!
Just when Monk Ruxin was so distressed and was secretly nervous, Monk Yongkuan bowed and yelled the Buddha's name: "Amitabha Buddha."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Does Monk Yongkuan have something to say?"
Monk Yongkuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Buddhism has opened the door of convenience to save the world, but people are greedy for the world and cannot save them all.
Buddhism is boundless, but it cannot allow everyone in the world to convert to Buddhism, nor can it allow everyone in the world to do good deeds. Only by cultivating oneself first and then saving the world.
If one day you really save all the people in the world, your Majesty’s great merit will surely achieve the supreme result, the Golden Body Bodhisattva.”
Well, it sounds so nice. I have started to like you bald donkeys.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply tore his face and said with a smile: "There are no people in the world to save them, but there are also converts.
What should people who convert do not pay taxes, do not perform labor service, and do not join the army?"
Although the impression of the Southern Shaolin in Emperor Chongzhen was higher than that of the Northern Shaolin, in fact, in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, it was like a crow in the world.
Or to put it nicely, the saints are unkind and regard the people as straw dogs.
Monk Ruxin felt a hint of pleasure in his heart, making you bald and bald, and let you talk more. Now, you're so stunned!
After thinking about it, Monk Ruxin felt that since this Yongkuan bald donkey was shameless, it would be useless to ask for this thing. Not to mention anything else, it would be a serious matter to protect this thousand-year-old ancestral home first.
But before Monk Ruxin could speak, Monk Yongkuan had already bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Nan Shaolin, have never been behind.
When the Japanese pirates were in rebellion, Hu Zongxian, the general manager, started to use Shaolin monks' soldiers. Although he did not pay taxes and did not serve labor service, his sincere desire to serve the country was not inferior to others. I hope your Majesty will clearly understand it."
Monk Ruxin's face had completely darkened.
Monk Yongkuan is here to disrupt the situation today, and to cause trouble for Bei Shaolin!
There are monk soldiers in the South Shaolin, and there are also northern Shaolin, but the problem is that the bald donkeys in the South Shaolin have been on the battlefield seriously, but the northern Shaolin has not...
This is very painful.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, then laughed again, "Monkey Yongkuan said well, I also know about the monks and soldiers. It's so good, very good."
Monk Ruxin simply put his heart on his back and bowed, "Your Majesty, my Shaolin Temple is willing to send hundreds of monks to the army, thinking that he is the coach of the army, I hope your Majesty will allow it."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I know the two great monks' desire to serve the country. But there will be no such thing as enlisting monks and soldiers in the future. It is not appropriate to let monks enter the army, so I will give up this matter."
Now Ruxin and Monk Yongkuan are in pain together.
What do you want to do? Monks pay taxes together? Veterans are all in one?
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I heard that the martial arts of the world are Shaolin. Although Shaolin is divided into north and south, its martial arts are all from the Ming Dynasty. I heard that there are many martial arts secrets in the Sutra Library. I want someone to copy one to practice in the military. How about it?"
If Emperor Chongzhen made this request at the beginning, no matter whether it was Monk Ruxin or Monk Yongkuan, he probably wouldn't agree, unless Emperor Chongzhen dared to play the drama of burning Shaolin Temple.
But now I don’t agree, let alone burning Shaolin Temple. According to this master, maybe it’s better to wash Shaolin Temple and even kill the Buddha again.
After thinking about it, Monk Ruxin bowed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know where to hear it? I have some skills in strengthening my body, but most of the Sutra Pavilion are scriptures, and there are no martial arts secrets.
What's more, the practice of martial arts lies in the cultivation of muscles and bones. It is not a matter of one day or one night. The military formation of soldiers may not be worse than my Shaolin kung fu."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "It's okay, I heard that there are many martial arts secrets in the Sutra Library and the Arhat Hall.
Especially the Yijin Jing, the marrow cleansing meridian, which are all good things, as well as the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, ghost shadow grasping hands and powerful Vajra fingers?
The two great monks arranged for me to send me a copy today. I will definitely not move the scriptures inside, so as not to cause trouble to Tathagata, the stingy man, in the future."
The Tathagata's stinginess that Emperor Chongzhen mentioned was directed at what the Tathagata said in Journey to the West: "The sutras should not be passed on lightly, and they should not be taken lightly. On a certain year, a month and a certain day, the Great Buddha of the Nine Sutras went to Zhao Changchun's house in the Kingdom of Shravas to pass on the scriptures, and only received three dou and three liters of broken rice. According to this, it is difficult to become noble! The spreader of the scriptures will not starve to death!"
In this story, Yongkuan and Monk Ruxin didn’t know, and they were speechless immediately, but they didn’t dare to make it clear that you were just a mortal body, and the Buddha would still cause trouble for you?
So, isn’t it clear that he does not recognize the identity of Emperor Chongzhen’s son of heaven?
The two were in a dilemma, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled again and said, "What, can the two great monks have any difficulties? If so, you can tell me directly."
Monk Yongkuan said, "Your Majesty is willing to send someone to copy the martial arts books in my temple. But I want to ask Your Majesty for a grace from Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will be kind."
