Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

Chapter 131 Bodhi Forged Mirror Heart (14)
Five years later, an eminent eminent monk wearing a golden mask appeared in the world. He traveled all over the world. It was rumored that his face was destroyed in the war when he was young, so he took the name of Shameless.The master is extremely proficient in Buddhism. It is said that he once studied under Jin Gu Zhenren and was also good at Taoism. He has written countless collections of Buddhist and Taoist theories with exquisite annotations and passed them down to the world, which is respected by the world.

During the Daye period, Emperor Shizu granted Master Wuyan the abbot of Qingshui Temple, a royal temple, and later promoted to the abbot of Famen Temple, a Buddhist holy place. Later generations of Zhenzong and Daizong also invited Master Wuyan to the palace to give lectures several times, but none of them were available.

During the Shengping period of Zhenzong, a famous partial history treatise "Jintuo Yibian" was published. This book recorded anecdotes and anecdotes from Yuanqing to Shengping years, including many secrets of the palace that are not known to outsiders. The author is a palace man who fled or was released.Some outside palace people secretly commented that Master Wuyan's body shape and voice were very similar to Taizu's personal monk and guard Master Lansheng in his later years. In his later years, Master Wuyan also told his disciples and grandchildren with a smile that he worshiped gold on the Jintuo Road. Gu Zhenren was the teacher, so some people in later generations speculated that Master Wuyan was the real editor of "Jin Tuo Yibian".

There was a little novice who waited for the master to take a bath. Occasionally, he saw his face and admired his beauty. According to the description of the little novice, some people inferred that the master was very similar to the king of Nanjia County who was in trouble during the Yuanchang period. It may be that the Nanjia County King who conspired against him back then fled to Jintuo Road in the Qinling Mountains when he was defeated. After being enlightened by the real person Jingu, he suddenly came to his senses and became a Buddha immediately.

②Zen language: Our troubles and karma are originally empty, just like floating clouds, which will eventually dissipate, and when they dissipate, they will be empty.All causation and cause and effect are actually dreams born of human delusions. In the dream, everything is real, and after waking up, everything is gone.Tathagata's self-awareness is to see everything as equal, there is no so-called reincarnation and liberation from reincarnation, illusion and reality are the same thing, so there is no attachment, and you can feel at ease wherever you are.Human or non-human, all are equal in nature.The Dao is inclusive and vast, and only when you think hard can you experience the Dao.

③Zen language: There are too many right and wrong in this world, kindness and resentment, who is right and who is wrong, I don't want to care.In the vast world, there are pleasant scenery, beautiful things are there, but no one comes to appreciate them, everyone in the world is busy fighting each other, whether other people’s comments or ridicule, it’s all other people’s business, but the mountains and rivers are in my heart. Appreciating it alone, only I know my contentment, and those who are intriguing and chasing fame and fortune cannot understand.It is a metaphor that Lan Sheng sees through the world of mortals, and finally decides to let go of the sadness in his heart that he is a monster born of incest. He wants to find peace in the world of Buddhism. Instead of staying in the sinful home that is always trapped in the pursuit of fame and fortune and intrigues.

④ Zen language, which means empty and enlightened, it tells people to relax their hearts and not to be obsessed with the feasting and feasting in front of them.
