Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Cha Bucai stood in the big cave and looked at Zhao Hai's cave quietly. He would come here every day to see when Zhao Hai would come out of seclusion. Today he found that Zhao Hai didn't seem to have come out of seclusion yet. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhao Hai's voice: "Junior Brother Cha is here? How about you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Cha Bucai was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the door of Zhao Hai's cave, and saw Zhao Hai standing there looking at him with a smile on his face. Cha Bucai was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly walked over and faced Zhao Hai. He held his fist and said, "Senior brother is out of seclusion?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Yes, I have been released. Junior brother, please come in."

Zha Bucai smiled and said: "That's great, please, senior brother." After saying that, he followed Zhao Hai and walked to his cave. When he got to the living room, Zhao Hai made tea. Zha Bucai and Zhao Hai After drinking a cup of tea, Cha Bucai asked Zhao Hai: "How do you feel, senior brother?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Very good. I have figured out a lot of things during this retreat. As long as I practice Qing for a period of time, my strength should be improved at once, and by then I will almost be able to reach the Hedao realm." Anyway, Cha Bucai and the others didn't know when he promoted himself to the Return to the Void Realm, so it was a good thing that he promoted himself to the Hedao Realm now.

When Zha Bucai heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but said with envy: "Congratulations, senior brother, not everyone can reach the Hedao realm. I don't know when I will reach the Hedao realm." Now he is at the God level, not even at the Void Returning stage, so he really envies Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Monk training sometimes relies on luck. If you are lucky, if something makes you realize something, your training speed will increase very quickly, so junior brother does not have to in a hurry."

When Cha Bucai heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Many people understand this truth, but there are many people who will not reach the Hedao realm in this life. Alas, let's not talk about this anymore, senior brother. Have a good rest for a few days. Whenever senior brother wants to go out for a walk, just call me and I will live in the cave outside."

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Okay, let me thank my junior brother first." After saying that, he saluted Zha Bucai, who quickly returned the salute. At the same time, he suddenly noticed that Zhao Hai was a monk. , but Zhao Hai's previous behavior style was very different from ordinary monks, which made Cha Bucai feel a little puzzled.

Zhao Hai saw the puzzled look on Zha Bucai's face, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior brother, do you have anything to ask?"

Cha Bucai looked at Zhao Haida and said: "Senior brother, please forgive me. I'm not sure about something. I talked to senior brother before, but I always forgot that senior brother is a monk. Senior brother's behavior is different from that of many monks, but I don't know why?" Zha Bucai asked this, firstly because he was really curious, and secondly because he wanted to talk to Zhao Hai more, and if he said this to Zhao Hai, the relationship between the two would naturally change. He slowly got closer.

When Zhao Hai heard what Cha Bucai said, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Hahahaha, this is what junior brother said. There is nothing curious about this. I have a different understanding of Buddhist scriptures than ordinary monks, so I It will make my brother feel this way. Other monks generally regard themselves as monks, and they must always remember the rules and precepts, and always remember their identity. But I am different. Maybe what the Buddha wants is not you. Taking refuge is to make you happy, whether it is rules or precepts. If these do not make you happy, then it is not what the Buddha wants to see. Did the Buddha really set so many rules when he taught the Dharma to people? Rules? Those rules were set by later monks, not by the Buddha."

Cha Bucai was a little surprised when he listened to Zhao Hai's words. After a while, he finally said: "That's it, that's it. No wonder senior brother behaves like this. I've learned a lesson. To be honest, I've been exposed to it before." Some monks, but those monks are completely different from senior brother, but I feel that the Buddha you call senior brother is the real Buddha, and it is completely different from the Buddha they understand."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "The Buddha is not in the temple, the Buddha is in our hearts. There is a Buddha in each of our hearts, but many people can't see it. The Buddha in their hearts is blocked by the greed of the secular world. No, they can't see the existence of Buddha. When you remove the things that block your eyes, you can see Buddha. And when you see Buddha, then you have Buddha nature. When you have With Buddha nature, you are a monk and you are a Buddha."

Cha Bucai nodded, then looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Senior brother said this, it is somewhat similar to the Buddhist verses. According to legend, two eminent monks discussed the Dharma. One said, the body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always wipe it diligently to avoid stirring up dust, but another eminent monk said that the Bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror has no stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can the dust be stirred up? This seems to be similar to what the senior brother said, but it depends on what the senior brother means. Senior brother seems to agree more with what the first monk said, but literally speaking, it seems that the second monk's realm is higher, but I don't know if that is the case?"

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "What junior brother said makes sense, but he also looked at this matter a little biasedly. The two verses said by these two monks are not actually talking about the same thing, so they are actually What cannot be compared together is that what the first monk said is the method of cultivating Buddhism, while what the second monk said is the ultimate state of Buddhism, and can even be said to be the most ideal state of Buddha. It’s completely different.”

When Zha Bucai heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but look solemn, and then he cupped his hands towards Zhao Hai and said, "I am willing to listen to my senior brother's teachings."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it, but I can also tell my junior brother about my understanding of these two verses. The first verse refers to how to cultivate Buddhism, and the body is like a bodhi tree. It means that everyone actually has the root of wisdom in their body, which is what I said before. Everyone has a Buddha in their heart. The bodhi tree is generally associated with the Buddha, so the body is like a bodhi tree, which means, There is a Buddha in everyone's heart. The heart is like a mirror. The mirror generally refers to human nature and original mind. Only when your heart is like a mirror can you truly see the Buddha in your heart. Be diligent at all times and don't stir up dust. This will tell you that you must keep your original mind like a clear mirror, so that you can truly understand your mind and see your true nature, and let the Buddha in your heart always stay in your heart. , as long as this Buddha remains in your heart, you are a Buddha. However, there is too much dust in this world. Greed, anger, and ignorance, these thoughts turn into dust all the time, captivating your mind and making your The tainted nature of your mind prevents you from seeing the Buddha in your heart, so you must always brush it aside."

Cha Bucai nodded repeatedly, and Zhao Hai then continued: "As for what the second monk said, Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror has no stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust? The four sentences should actually be understood together, because these four sentences actually only talk about the final state of Buddhism, which is emptiness!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hai sighed softly and said: "Buddhism emphasizes that all five aggregates are empty, so that you can survive all hardships, but how many people can truly achieve the empty of all things, let alone people? Even if he is a Buddha, can he really achieve the emptiness of all things? If the Buddha has really achieved the emptiness of all things, then think about it, will the Buddha still save people? If it is true that all things are emptiness, then what kind of person will he be if he is the Buddha? In his eyes, there is nothing more than emptiness, so why bother to save it? Therefore, the second monk is talking about the most ideal state of Buddha, and this ideal state is almost never attainable. You use a How does an ideal compare with a way of practice? So, we have to use the first monk’s words to practice, and take the second monk’s words as the ultimate goal.”

When Cha Bucai heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then he cupped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "I've learned my lesson. Thank you, senior brother."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "This is just some humble opinions of a poor monk. Even if you are a monk, everyone has a different understanding of Buddha, so I can just listen to it and there is no need to mention it to others."

Zha Bucai responded, and Zhao Hai invited Zha Bucai to drink tea again. Zha Bucai was not polite and drank another cup of tea. Then Zha Bucai took a deep breath and said, "Chatting with senior brother really benefited me." A lot, it seems that I need to bother senior brother more in the future." Having said this, Zha Bucai looked at Zhao Hai, and the two of them laughed at the same time, naturally feeling closer to each other.

Cha Bucai drank tea for a while, then said goodbye and left. After watching Cha Bucai leave, Zhao Hai returned to the room to rest. But at this time, Cha Bucai went directly to see Elder Wu. He had to report this matter to Elder Wu. In any case, if Elder Wu asked him to monitor Zhao Hai, he had to report to Elder Wu.

Cha Bucai soon arrived outside Elder Wu's cave, and then announced: "Disciple Cha Bucai, please see the elder."

Elder Wu's voice came from the cave: "Come in." Cha Bucai responded, and then entered the room. As soon as he saw Elder Wu, Cha Bucai immediately saluted Elder Wu and said : "See the elders."

Elder Wu glanced at Cha Bucai, then nodded and said: "No courtesy, come here this time, but what happened? Is the monk out of seclusion?" Elder Wu also knew that Zhao Hai was in seclusion, so he So asked.

Cha Bucai responded: "Yes, elder, senior brother Zhiming has been released from seclusion. He just came out of seclusion today. This disciple just came from him and drank a cup of tea from him." He did not dare to hide it. , because he knew very well that once he concealed something and was discovered by Elder Wu, he would face very serious punishment, so of course he did not dare to conceal anything.

Elder Wu glanced at Cha Bucai, and then said: "What did you say to him? Tell me carefully." Elder Wu still attaches great importance to Zhao Hai. He has met Zhao Hai, although Zhao Hai's strength He could tell it at a glance, but he always felt that there was something about Zhao Hai that he couldn't see through. It was precisely because of this feeling that he paid more attention to Zhao Hai, so he sent people to monitor Zhao Hai. Hai, now he wants Zha Bucai to explain in detail what Zhao Hai told him. He must understand Zhao Hai better.
