Chapter 212 Life and Death

After Su Zimo came back to his senses, he looked at the elderly monk who walked in front of him who didn't know when, imitated the other person's appearance, made a clasped gesture, and asked doubtfully, "What is fate?"

When the old monk heard the words, a smile appeared on his old face, and he said eight obscure words
"Dependent Origination is not extinguished, and Dependent Origin is destroyed"

"Deep relationship is shallow, love and hate are determined"

"The edge is long but the edge is short, and the debt is certain"

"The reason is man-made, the reason is destroyed"

"Invisible, invisible, shadow and trace"

"Depending on origin and extinction, there is only one thought"

"Fate to the event, fate to disappear"

"Finding fate, all depends on understanding"

For some unknown reason, Su Zimo listened to the obscure sentence from the old monk's mouth, but he understood it thoroughly at once, nodded thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more.

About the time of a cup of tea, the elderly monk looked at the majestic young man in front of him, and said with neither sadness nor joy on his face, "Almsgiver, I don't know what you said to the poor monk just now, whether to stay here and fade away from the world of mortals." gas"

Su Zimo's heart is full of a cute child dressed in pink and jade, and there are two elders and one child at home, so naturally he will not agree, and said with a wry smile, "Master, it's fine to become a monk. I still have my concerns. I don't know the name of the master."

The old monk's old face did not show disappointment, he put his hands together and said, "The poor monk's name is empty."

Su Zimo nodded when he heard the words, looked at Ye Piaoling who kept reciting obscure scriptures, and suddenly said, "Master, this is Piaoling?"

"Wandering?" Master Kongchen was stunned for a moment, and after muttering a few words, he finally realized, "Benefactor, are you talking about Hongyin?"

Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, "Hongyin? Isn't this little boy called Ye Piaoling?"

Master Kongchen nodded with a smile, and explained, "It's both. Ye Piaoling is the secular name given to him in the early years, and Xianyin is the dharma name I gave him."

Su Zimo was relieved now, and just when he was about to ask, a childish voice came from his ear.

"Master, the evening homework is done"

It was the little monk Hongyin who saw Su Zimo looking at him, but smiled brightly at him.

Master Kongchen nodded, looked at Hongyin with an old face and said, "Well, go to the Sutra Pavilion and write down the second volume of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", and I will check it later for the master."

"Okay, master." Hongyin clasped his hands together and said, smiling brightly at Su Zimo, and then walked towards the back compartment.

Master Kongchen looked at the small figure that was gradually going away, then turned his head, and said to Su Zimo, "Almsgiver, the poor monk sees that your brows are tightly furrowed, and it seems that there is something unspeakable. If possible, you can talk to the poor monk." Say, maybe it can solve the sorrow in your heart."

Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party's neither sad nor happy face, sighed, and explained everything that happened today, including what happened to Yang Leling.

"What is death? What is life? What are the definitions of the two? Does death necessarily represent sorrow and sadness, and does life necessarily represent happiness?" Master Kongchen walked to the Ksitigarbha Buddha statue and put his hands together. , bowed slightly, and asked in a kind voice.

Hearing this completely different answer, Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Isn't it?"

"When there are no delusions, one mind is a Buddha country; when there are delusions, one mind is a hell. All living beings create delusions and use their minds to generate their minds, so they are always in hell. Bodhisattvas observe delusions, and do not use their minds to generate minds, so they are always in the Buddha's country."

"If you don't give birth to your mind with your mind, your mind will go into emptiness, your thoughts will return to tranquility, and you will go from one Buddha country to another. If you use your mind to give birth to your mind, your mind will not be quiet, your thoughts will return to motion, and you will go from one hell to another. If one thought arises, there will be good and evil karma, and there will be heaven and hell; if one thought does not arise, then there will be no good and evil karma, and there will be no heaven and hell.”

"The body is neither existence nor non-existence. It exists in the ordinary, and it does not exist in the holy. The saint has no heart, so his chest is empty, equal to the sky."

Master Kongchen smiled, squeezed the Buddhist beads in his hand, and didn't care whether the other party understood or not, so he read out a passage of obscure scriptures.

Su Zimo listened to the scriptures ringing in his ears, and kept pondering in his heart, from the original obscurity to the later half-understanding, and now half-understanding "Thank you, master"

The Zen spirit brought by the obscure scriptures gradually dissipated the self-blame deep in Su Zimo's heart and the inexplicable worries about the world after his rebirth.

Master Kong Chen glanced at the other party, and slowly said, "Thinking about it, you will be able to figure it out, benefactor, you are still young, you should not stay in the past, but look to the future."

Su Zimo nodded thoughtfully, thinking of that cute little girl Su Xi'er, since she came to this world, the little things in their lives, every move of the other party can cause him to think deeply, and his heart is overwhelmed. The boulder he was holding was removed, and the corners of his mouth slowly moved upwards, revealing a relieved smile, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely again, "Master, thank you, really."

Seeing this, Master Kong Chen folded his hands together, returned a salute, and said with a little deep meaning, "It seems that the benefactor has realized it. Don't worry about obsessing, and look to the future." people"

Su Zimo smiled lightly, and said in a thoughtful voice, "The Root of Wisdom? It means being in the middle of concentration, contemplating everything, and being able to understand without hindrance. It is called the Root of Wisdom."

Master Kongchen asked in amazement, "Sponsor, do you also understand our Buddhism?"

"Master was joking, I just don't understand it." Su Zimo smiled.

"."

In this way, time was gradually lost in the Dharma exchanges between the old and the young. The sun had already set, and the crooked half moon climbed into the sky at some point, and sprinkled the soft moonlight on the earth, passing through the gate of the temple. shine in.

In the solemn temple, oil lamps scattered everywhere have already been lit, and the lights are constantly flickering, exuding a quiet light.

Ye Piaoling, also known as Hongyin, put down the brush, shook his slightly sore wrist, looked at the stack of densely packed scripture papers on the table, heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, walked out of the Sutra Pavilion, and heard There was a vague conversation, and I was curious, and walked over.

I saw an old man and a young man sitting in front of the Ksitigarbha Buddha statue and talking about the Buddha, both of them had calm expressions on their faces.

The sound of small footsteps also attracted the attention of the two, and the Zen-like discussion stopped abruptly, and the two looked at the past at the same time.

"Master, and Su, uh, this benefactor, it's already past seven o'clock, can I eat?" Hongyin said with a smile.

Master Kongchen heard the words, and said to Su Zimo, "Benefactor, it's getting late today, why not stay here?"

Su Zimo looked at the night outside the temple, he didn't expect the night to come so fast, and he didn't know how anxious the two little girls Su Xier and Yang Leling would be, so he declined immediately and said, "I'm sorry, Master, there are a lot of things that happened today. , I don’t know what my child will be in a hurry, I have to go back quickly.”

Kong Chen didn't hold back, but just said, "Benefactor, this place is not close to the city."

Su Zimo nodded, "I know, let's not talk, master, I have to go, I will come to visit you and Xiaoling next time." After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands together and saluted, and hurried out.

Master Kongchen didn't stop him, looked at the back of the other party who disappeared into the night, turned around, came to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, lit three sticks of incense, and recited the scriptures again.

　Thanks to Bi Xuemei for the five hundred rewards, and thanks to Yelang Yeguang and Douhun Aotian for the two hundred rewards!
