Chapter 367: Grinding bricks can't make a mirror, sitting withered can't become a Buddha

These monks are indeed not good at dealing with each other. They will start fighting if they have any disagreement...

Li Qingman moved a few steps without a trace, and the eyes gradually became cold. The few secret guards who accompanied him also looked around with caution.

Zhou Qing protects Wang Kang,

It seemed that a battle was about to break out in an instant.

At this time, Wang Kang suddenly said, "What are you doing? Although the temple is small, there is a Buddha. How can you use martial arts in front of the Buddha? Isn't this a fool?"

In fact, his original intention was to be afraid that the fight would really start, so what should I do if I ruined the tobacco?

I finally encountered it, but I can't let it go.

This sentence relaxed the tense atmosphere a lot, and the bald monk looked at Wang Kang in silence. This sentence was indeed in his heart.

He said with both hands: "Listen to this, the little donor is also aware of it. Since he knows it, then retreat."

"It's OK to retreat, but those tobaccos,"

Wang Kang said, "Oh, it's the bitter grass you mentioned, I must."

"Don't say much, please come back!"

The bald monk said directly.

"I think your temple is really dilapidated. Why don't I pay some money to repair it?" Wang Kang said again.

"Need not!"

"Why do I give some incense money?"

"Need not!"

"Why am I building a nunner next to your temple? It's good that someone talks..."

The bald monk said with a dark face: "No need!"

No, no,

This guy is really not in the air, and Wang Kang was a little annoyed and said directly: "Tell me, how can I give these bitter grass to me?"

"This bitter grass is a must-have for us to sit in meditation every day, and the abbot is also useful,"

The bald monk said directly: "Don't think about it anymore!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang couldn't help but angrily: "As a monk, I still need to refresh my mind when I sit in meditation. What kind of meditation can I sit in?"

He didn't have to think about it and knew that these monks used to refresh themselves with tobacco, but the bigger reason might be that they were addicted.

Perhaps they unconsciously picked a piece of tobacco leaf and chewed it in their mouths. Because it is very irritating, it just works to restore physical strength and refresh the spirit and boost strength.

So I often pick it and chew it, and as I get more frequent, it becomes a hobby.

Because tobacco is already addictive to a certain degree, just like smoking.

In other words, these monks are very likely to be old smokers.

Just sit in meditation and cultivate one's own nature?

Wang Kang thought and asked directly: "Why do you sit in meditation?"

The monk was stunned and then said, "You must sit in meditation and practice meditation."

After hearing this, Wang Kang shook his head disdainfully. Seeing this, the monk asked, "Seeing what the donor said to me, are you very disdainful?"

"Yes!" Wang Kang admitted directly.

The monks had no expression on their faces, but the other monks looked at Wang Kang with anger on their faces.

"Is it because the donor understands Zen?" asked the monk.

"A little understanding of one or two."

Hearing this, even if he was cultivated by the monks, he couldn't help laughing, and the other monks present were even more disdainful of mocking him.

The monk shook his head and said, "Looking at your dress and being noble, you should be a wealthy man from a family. Do you know what Zen is?"

"I don't understand very much, but I understand better than you!" Wang Kang said bluntly, and was not polite.

"Then I'm going to ask, I wonder what the donor has to think?"

Although he said so, his eyes were full of mockery.

"What you said just now, must you sit in meditation when you realize it?"

Wang Kang said, "The Tao is understood from the heart, why is it sitting?"

"Born to sit but not lying, and to die but not lying. It's a stinky bone. What is a merit or demerit?"

All the words were shocked, and the monk was stunned!

The other monks also looked at Wang Kang in amazement.

Zen words?

He actually knows Zen?

Born to lie down but not sit down, and die to lie down but not sit down. It is a stinky bone. What is a meritorious demerit?

It is difficult for outsiders to understand and cannot understand the meaning of it, but those who truly understand can hear the mystery. This is a wonderful Zen saying...

Many monks find it difficult to say it.

The meaning of this Zen phrase can be interpreted as a stinky bone is a decayed external appearance. If you are attached to the Dharma image of meditation but do not understand Zen, it will be manifested as being born to sit but not lying down, and dead to sit or not

At this time, I think this way, these four elements and six senses are combined with each other, and who is building merits and who is the Dharma?

If you sit in meditation, you cannot sit out of Zen. If you sit in Buddha, the Buddha has no form and does not have a fixed expression, how can you sit out of it?

Are you meditating or sitting in Buddha?

It is not feasible to seek enlightenment by using Zen.

The monk murmured, and instantly understood the meaning, looking at Wang Kang in horror.

"Do you really understand Zen?"

Wang Kang said lightly: "I have said it a long time ago. I don't understand it very much, but I understand it more than you!"

This Zen saying comes from the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. Isn’t it a slight meaning to deal with you?

I didn't want to slap you in the face, but you just gave me a chance!

Seeing this scene, not only monks, but also Zhou Qing, Bi Fu and others were stunned and looked at Wang Kang with admiration.

My own boy is really amazing. They don’t understand what he said, but they don’t feel that he is so powerful. You can tell by looking at the monk’s expression.

Li Qingman smiled, she knew that Wang Kang could always bring shock to others.

"What? Are you speechless?" Wang Kang said with a smile as he looked at the shocked monk.

The monk's face suddenly looked ugly. He calmed down and retorted: "I don't agree with the donor's words, and I never thought of meditating on the Buddha..."

Sitting is just a means, a way..."

“Well said,”

"Aren't you overestimating your own abilities when discussing Zen with Master Shanneng?"

"Look at how this child should interface!"

Before Wang Kang could speak, the monks around him spoke.

This is a temple. They are originally people who meditate and practice meditation. They are good at their own places, and if they are won by others.

That's really a slap in the face.

Even monks can't escape these things.

But Wang Kang looked at the monk and shook his head, "You are wrong again!"

"I'm wrong again?"

The monk was stunned and then asked angrily: "What's wrong?"

"What you said before, sitting is just a means and a way, and that is wrong in itself!"

Wang Kang said directly: "Sitting is just for meditation. Sitting is an opportunity, not an end, nor a method. Zen is the goal, Zen is to purify the mind, and to eliminate thoughts."

"Sitting is an opportunity, Zen is the goal..."

The monk murmured again, his eyes becoming more complicated and more incredible.

He never expected that he had been practicing Zen for many years but was revealed in one word, and he had reached the point of being unconfident...

The other monks were completely speechless at this moment.

Wang Kang ignored it, took a step forward, stared at the monk, and said bluntly: "You must be able to realize the true nature of Zen and enlightenment, so that you can truly realize the realm of Zen,"

"You must understand that grinding bricks cannot make a mirror, and sitting wither cannot make a Buddha!"

These words made the monk feel confused and retreated continuously!

"If you can't grind a brick, you can't become a mirror, and if you sit with your hands, you can't become a Buddha... OK, the little donor was humble before. It's not that you don't understand it very much, but you understand it very much!"

At this moment, a house opposite the temple gate opened, and a sound came out...
