Faithful to Buddha, Faithful to You

Chapter 12: Why Run Away

“Uncle Wang asked me to help him with the affairs of the state. ”

“Ah, you sure you don't want to?” Otherwise, there will be no later big translators.

“How do you know I won't?” He looked at me with a glimpse.

'Cause you're Morosh! ”

It's probably only modern people can understand that, so I quickly changed my words: "Because lately, you want to liberate yourself by practicing. To live and die, to leave greed, to reach the highest realm of self-practice. But in the long run, you would prefer to be able to do more on your own, achieve universal life and become Buddhist. ”

I talked to him about ideals in the desert. At that time, I didn't know he was a pigeonhole, so I didn't dare say anything. Now I know who he really is, and I've read his biography, and of course I know what he's lost.

I always thought Buddhism was an interesting religion, and Buddhist high priests were actually philosophers.

The Buddha's release of Gamuni did not leave behind a scripture that could be used as a standard, as the Christian Bible * * * taught the Koran, when Buddhism was only one of the less prominent religions in India. And since the Buddhist era, there have been branches of Buddhism, such as the Buddha's cousin Tibota, who stands apart.

The disciples of the Buddha, each person has a different understanding of the doctrine. If the mind is unique, write a book and form a sect. So for thousands of years, Buddhist sects have risen, and scriptures can be unreadable for two lifetimes. Large multipliers and small multipliers are just large classifications, and smaller branches are more. Little passengers have some snowy mountain, say everything has a ministry. The Grand Multiplier of Zhongyuan has the terrace pure soil law Xiang Hua Yan Zen Buddhism. Look at the dense Tibetan Buddhism, Gronin Masaga Getu, Huang Huang Huang Huang Hua Hua Yao, which has caused me to read several books or faint in Tibet Travel.

I said half a day to explain why there are so many sects in Buddhism.

The Builder of the Sect is actually a philosopher of high intelligence. Buddhism attracts highly intelligent philosophers. Imagine how great it would be if you had the wisdom that ordinary people can't compare, if ordinary people can't reach the height of their minds, if you could express your understanding of the spiritual world in a religious way within a broad framework that does not contradict the basic teachings. For a Buddhist scholar, being able to gather what he or she has learned, write a book, and become a family is the greatest achievement in the field of Buddhism.

Rosh has such a high IQ, is a thought-provoking philosopher, and of course he wants to be a spiritual master of all people, to guide the artists to what he thinks is the absolute opposite shore. Although he is only thirteen years old at the moment, he is afraid that such values of life have already been established.

I was wondering if there was any. Why do you think there's no sound for half a day? That's when I noticed him staring at me, his mouth trembling slightly, his eyes gleaming. It's appreciation, it's touching, it's the joy of knowing the sound.

“Ai Qing, Rosh is fortunate to meet you in the arts and crafts. ”

I shrugged my lips to reveal an ugly laugh. It's definitely because I read about him, and I know he's a beginner, but he's a convert. That was just a little bit of a distinction between the passenger and the passenger. And before that, he was confused, so I can guess what he's hesitant about now is the conversion.

“Axel, remember that night in the desert when you asked me why I ran away? ”

His eyes crossed me and drifted far away. I hurry to sit up and listen.

“Mother walked out of town when I was seven years old and saw the dead bones in the graves. She suddenly realized that greed was fundamental to all suffering. The fire of desire was like the fire of hell, eventually burning a man into white bones and falling into the middle of nowhere. Without wanting to suffer endlessly, she vowed not to eat or drink if she could not shave her home. When the father initially disagreed, the mother went on a hunger strike. Until the sixth night, her mother was so angry that she refused to eat. Father was scared and could only promise her. Fearing his father's remorse, the mother insisted on falling out before swallowing food. The next day she was relieved, moved out of her home and stayed at Wang Xinji Temple. ”

In his biography, there's a record of why his wife left home. He nodded softly: "So you ran away with your mother. ”

Instead, he shook his head and stared at the slightly shaking oil core, seemingly recalling something. “After my mother left home, I often visited her in the temple because I missed her so much. I sat down and listened to her as she followed the masters. Somehow, I just have to listen to those scriptures, and I can recite them. Everyone wonders. The high priest of the temple, Buddha Tutu, asked me what was on my back, and I was all right. He praised me for being a Buddhist great instrument, so he talked to his mother and tried to take me as a disciple. ”

His early wisdom is famous. Remember his biography when he left home at the age of seven, "Read a thousand words a day, every 32 words, for a total of 32,000 words”. Imagine a seven-year-old carrying 32,000 words a day, or the elusive Buddha, Einstein, Hawking. I estimate his circumference will break the Guinness record.

“So my mother asked me if I wanted to go home. I knew I could go home with my mother, so I said yes. ”

I was a little stunned when I heard. Yeah, no matter how smart he is, he's also a little kid who can't leave his mother. This is a simple reason to go home. And his whole life, at the age of seven, he nodded with this, a hammer.

His eyes drifted away from the oil lamp and he looked at me, and the confused mist in his eyes reappeared: “The last time you asked me why I left home, I found that I really didn't know how to answer. To be with my mother? I am no longer a seven-year-old. In a few years, I'm going to be caught in the middle of nowhere. But lately I've been asking myself almost every night why I'm out of the house. ”

“Have you figured it out?” I ask carefully.

“Previously, the master taught me that nirvana on the other shore can only be reached through practice, self-liberation, life and death, and from greed. I followed the High Monk's discipline and learned a lot of Buddhist tricks. There are four million words, all of which talk about how to practise the Big Fruit. But..."

He stood up and stepped to the window, unconsciously wrenching his wrench behind him, his thin back falling apart. Though still young, the masters of future Buddhism have shown their prototype.

“All the way back, we saw the white bones in the desert, the thieves lay low, and the people were in distress. And I thought," Well, I can do it personally, but where is he? "But the thieves are still not guilty, and the people are still suffering from old and ill health. I'm practicing Buddhist law. What's the use? ”

I also stood up and walked behind him and said softly, "A small multiplier is born, a great multiplier is born. So when you touch Daejeon, you feel that the doctrine of Daejeon is more in line with your heart. Bodhisattva the Tibetan King said:" Hell is not empty, it is not a Buddha. "Do you want to cross people instead of people like him? ”

He quickly turned to me, his eyes glowing, his face bright and clear: "Yes, Ai Qing. At the time of strangulation, my master from Sulu Yasumo, the first time he touched the Grand Multiplier, he was deeply impressed. I've been with you every day in these days, and I've always wanted to hear you say things about people of all sizes. Just..."

He swept a slight discomfort in his face and exhaled in a dull manner: “After returning to Turtles, whenever I mentioned the grand multiplier, the master priests denounced the outward myth, Rosh couldn't learn, and was deeply bitter. ”

I understand his frustration. Turtles believed in small multiplication for centuries. In the early days of Buddhism, the controversy between large and small multiplication was fierce. Large multiplication spread at that time. It was in no way the mainstream within Buddhism, but the “bizarre” behavior of the few “activists”. So you can imagine how helpless he was in the whole environment and how he struggled.

“Rosh, actually, the big multiplier is a small multiplier, and it's not the opposite. The Buddha founded Buddhism to oppose Brahmanism and the caste system, so the doctrine is simple. Referring to the popular painstaking cultivation at the time, the cultivation method begs for personal efforts to obtain relief. But times are evolving, and small multiplier limitations are revealed. ”

Step to his side and look sincerely at him: “Little passenger is‘ selfish man ’, you must leave home to be free. There are no family members to give birth to, and no children to give birth to. If everyone leaves home, the country cannot survive and humankind dies. So when Buddhism contradicts secular power, there's a big multiplier to change the bad. ”

And I looked up, and I said, "But the great multiplier is a ferry, and all you have to do is worship the Buddha and you can become one. In this way, we can solve the contradiction between human beings and production without having to go home, and we can solve the problem of human reproduction by getting married. Therefore, Buddhism can be accepted by those in power in order to spread more widely and have more followers. The so-called Buddhist light, the universal life. ”

He sounded a little stunned and introspected. I don't know how much he understands, and I'm talking about it purely in terms of religion and productivity, in terms of relationships with the ruling class. Add another sentence: "Rosh, you are right to want to convert the Great Multiplier. Large multipliers are more responsive to the times and can address the spiritual needs of many more people.” With his new personality, the idea of the Grand Multiplier is more suitable for him, so it is inevitable that he chooses to convert in the end.

He looked up at me and still had a slight anxiety on his naive face: “What about Nakahara Han? Will the Hans accept the grand multiplier more? ”

I laughed, "Of course. Grand multiplier Buddha law will be widely circulated in Han dynasty, alive and well. ”

"The length of a religion's popularity is proportional to its degree of Chinese popularity," Ji said. Whoever sells cheap tickets to heaven wins the crowd and gets the support of the rulers. Little passengers have to practice so hard, they don't necessarily become Buddhas. Grand multiplier, especially Zen sect, advocates enlightenment in China, “every mention has a Buddhist character”. Just provide piety, the Mouth of the Buddha, then put down the slaughter knife and stand as a Buddha, how relaxing! (See the Buddhist XV Issue of Ji Lao specifically)

He also gradually opened his arms and his eyebrows revealed a strong divine colour, seemingly determined. “A few days ago, Rosh got a scripture in an abandoned palace behind Wang Xin Temple, and it was a big-time scripture theory. Rosh couldn't help but peek and feel so much better. Instead, it prevents teachers from teaching and doesn't dare to let others know that Rosh is so inclined to new theories. Speaking with Ai Qing today, Rosh has figured out how to make a trade-off. When I go back, I will recite it to my teachers and brothers. In the future, I will make sure to spread the word and make more people Buddha. ”

I seem to have an impression of the passage he mentioned. “Rosh, did you find the Book of Lightning? Was there a demon that bothered you to give up? ”

Remember what he said in his biography: when he opened the Reading of the Book of Light, all of a sudden he saw was a blank ultimatum. He knew that it was the devil who made the odds, and his determination to recite the Scriptures was stronger. So the magic lapsed, and the scriptures immediately appeared, and he continued to learn. Suddenly a voice was heard in the air: "You are a man of wisdom. Why should you read the Book of Lightning?" ”He replied," You're the devil, get out of here! My heart is like the earth and cannot be turned in the slightest. ”

Of course, I don't believe that he really met the demons, and I believe that writing this strange experience for him is a reflection of the demons of the Roche convert. Because it was a painful thing to change his traditional beliefs, he must have struggled, hesitated, even wanted to give up. Heart demons are the most difficult to eliminate.

He was surprised: "The Light Scripture?" ”Read Sanskrit again, it should be the Sanskrit name of the book, nodded in praise," That's a good translation. Buddha's law shines brightly and shines a light on all beings. ”

He exclaimed for a moment: "This scripture says that Buddha propagates in order to make the blind see, the deaf hear, the mute speak, the rickety stretch, the madman be upright, the mischievous, the sick heal, the powerful, the few old, the naked. The Buddha is magnificent, so that all beings can be equal, like fathers as mothers as brothers. It is also said that practice is meant to innovate, not to be personal. These are profound, Roche agrees. ”

He frowned slightly: "It's just, why is the demon bothering me?" ”

With a smile in his eyes, he thought about it and explained to himself: "If you say demons, they should be my demons. I don't know if I should get used to it. Ever since I got that book, I have to hesitate a few times every day to see it or not. After watching, hesitate again. recite, or not recite. This demon was not completely removed until today. ”

“Remember that night you asked me what I wanted.” Take a deep breath and lift up your beautiful neck, “Rosh can now speak up as clearly as you do. ”

He paused and shouted, “I can preach Buddha's Law everywhere. I stand and say, Purdue, that's what I want! ”

His head was high, and the dull light of the oil lamp could not hide the full confidence in his face. The glowing atmosphere made me look a little stunned for a while. Such confidence and early wisdom appeared in this teenager, as if to see the future in a glorious colour, sparkling with the flames of life.

“Good spirit!” I applaud warmly and nod my head out loud, “I love the aspiring and ambitious, you can do it! ”

He suddenly turned to face me and bowed respectfully, startling me. When I lifted up, my narrow cheeks were red and my eyes were sincere and warm: "Ai Qing, Roshed you as a teacher, is the pity of Buddha, pointing to Rosh a little bit of confusion. Rosh will never fail my master in his life. ”

He never respected me so much, his heart beat more than once. An unknown flame rises from the bottom of your heart, quickly circulating around your body. I don't feel comfortable fanning. It's winter. Why is it so hot?

After the class that day, he walked up to the door and looked at the starlit sky: “Tomorrow the weather should be clear. ”

He turned his head to me and smiled like a spring wind: "Ai Qing, I'll take you to Turtles tomorrow. ”
