"What the donor meant..." Buyan sensed something was wrong.
"I want to say that it is very, very difficult to truly stop talking, because even if you don't open your mouth, you will still be talking to yourself, the so-called 'conflict between the mind and the body'."
"This……"
"For example, 'What should we eat tonight?', 'Where should we go for fun during the holiday? I heard that the Dharma Assembly at Daxiangguo Temple is very good, but my wife wants to go for an outing', 'The idiot in my class was fined again', etc."
As soon as these words were spoken, the square in front of the Mahavira Hall fell silent.
If silence is like not speaking, that is, not talking to anyone, animal, or even stone,
So, what is talking to yourself?
Li Qingcha smiled.
“If you can’t stop your thoughts and can’t stop at one thought, then silence can only help you reduce some external factors, that’s all.”
She turned to the black monk,
"What do you think, Master Baihuo?"
The black monk's lips trembled, he murmured, but in the end he said nothing.
It seems that we have to fight to the end...
Li Qingcha whispered, "How hypocritical."
The sound is not loud, it is just controlled, and people around can hear it.
The black monk finally showed anger.
Li Qingcha continued, "In my opinion, stopping talking should be divided into stopping talking in the heart and stopping talking in the mouth."
I've heard it before.
Bu Yan asked without thinking, "What does 'heart stopping' mean?"
“The stillness of the mind is the inner aspect of stillness of speech. It follows all worldly interactions, not rejecting what comes and not retaining what goes.”
"Should we cut off all worldly contacts?"
"It's not that they are cut off. Otherwise, wouldn't it be... um..."
Li Qingcha was speechless for a moment.
Luo Weiyang beside him added: "That's called 'annihilation view'. Master said that monks who fall into annihilation view are doomed."
This girl looks stupid, but she has solid basic skills.
Li Qingcha immediately agreed, "What I mean by 'stopping the mind' is actually to extinguish all worldly thoughts in the heart, so as to further improve the pure mind, and combine it with stopping the mouth, which is the true silent meditation."
Like the morning bell and evening drum, it strikes in everyone's heart.
suddenly,
"The donor is indeed a very smart person. He broke the cultivation of this poor monk with just a few words."
The voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.
Everyone was stunned,
"Could it be that just now..."
"Yes, it was the master of fire-removal. He was the one who spoke."
"Ten years of practice were ruined just like that?"
……
The voices of discussion are getting louder and louder.
Everyone looked at Li Qingcha, curious about who this young man was.
Li Qingcha said: "Master just said 'as expected', it seems that you have heard of Li's name a long time ago."
Baihuo's expression remained unchanged.
"Of course, I have heard all about Mr. Siwei's deeds. After all, I have just arrived in the capital, so it is inevitable that I am curious about all kinds of news."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.
"Now that I think about it, even though I was silent at the time, I was actually just short of having 'tell me the news soon' engraved on my face, Amitabha."
With the sound of the Buddha's name, everyone couldn't help but sigh,
The master is worthy of being a master. After ten years of practice, his practice was broken in one day, but he was still able to maintain his state of mind and even laughed at himself.
Li Qingcha snorted coldly.
The black monk has a black face and an even blacker heart, and he still doesn't forget to attract attention.
Chapter 66 Hypocrisy
Now that the silent meditation for relieving internal heat has been broken, there is naturally no possibility of enlightening pilgrims.
He put his hands together in greeting and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
Then he said, "I didn't expect that I have been doing useless work for more than ten years. I thought that when I practiced silent meditation, my mind would be clear and I could focus on myself, but it turned out that I had more mental karma. It seems that I haven't practiced enough."
Baihuo said this and went down the terrace.
Without saying anything, he left.
Other monks took over the sermons on the terrace.
Li Qingcha winked at Gong Lianxue and Luo Weiyang, and caught up with Baihuo and Buyan.
Now is a good time to bring troops to hold the culprit accountable.
"Two masters." Li Qingcha called out to them from behind.
Defeat the fire and turn back,
"It seems that Mr. Li has something to teach you. Speaking of which, Mr. Li has a strong affinity with Buddhism. Have you ever thought about becoming a vacant person..."
"I advise you not to ask." ×2
The two girls said in unison.
Baihuo smiled and shook his head.
"At the Lingshan Conference, the Buddha held up a flower and showed it to the crowd. At that time, everyone was silent, except for Venerable Kasyapa, who smiled. Although I am not as good as the Buddha, and Mr. Li is not as good as Venerable Kasyapa, but the sudden enlightenment is not false."
"This is not a sudden enlightenment." Li Qingcha said.
"That is?"
"Master, you practice Buddhism. You may have profound knowledge of Buddhism, but you lack insight into the human world. Aren't what I just said the most basic?"
Baihuo thought of the example Li Qingcha mentioned when he talked about stopping the mind.
What should I eat tonight?
Where to go on holiday?
That big fool in my class got his salary fined again.
……
These are indeed the troubles of ordinary people.
Baihuo pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Four is very kind, sir."
Li Qingcha smiled.
"Forget about the flattery. I'm here to see Master Baihuo because I have something important to ask him. Look, have you seen this man?"
She took out the portrait painted by Jingzhao Prefecture for the foreign monk.
Lower your eyebrows and eyes,
"Never seen it before."
"Master, you didn't even look at it~"
"My eyes are small, so even though I can see clearly, outsiders may think I didn't see it carefully enough."
"The master doesn't look like a monk at all. He is very eloquent."
"..."
Baihuo still kept his head down and said nothing.
Li Qingcha smiled and put the portrait away.
"Speaking of which, even I find it hard to be sure that I have seen this painting before. After all, it is too freehand and I can't see the characteristics of the Western monk at all."
The fire is defeated without making any sound,
In fact, he felt that the painting was quite similar, but he didn't know why Li Qingcha said that.
Li Qingcha turned to Bu Yan and asked, "Can you help me get a piece of charcoal from the kitchen?"
Without saying a word,
"of course."
He left quickly and came back soon.
Li Qingcha added: "There is also rice paper."
No words: ￣□￣｜｜
He saw that Li Qingcha was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
"Donor Li, if you have any requests, just state them all at once and I will do them all at once."
"I'm not afraid that you won't remember~"
"..."
"No, besides the rice paper, there is also a wooden board to fix the rice paper."
"..."
"Nothing."
Bu Yan was then sure that it was really gone, and went to bring the things Li Qingcha wanted.
Li Qingcha spread the wooden board flat, picked up the charcoal, thought for a moment and put it down. He then used a tree branch to draw on the ground for a while before he started to paint formally. In just a few strokes, he had sketched out the foreign monk's face.
This is……
What technique is this?
Bu Yan and Bai Huo looked at each other.
If they had seen Li Qingcha's map drawings, they would not be so surprised.
Li Qingcha said: "This time, Master Baihuo should be able to recognize it, right?"
relieve inflammation:"……"
Respond with silence.
Compared to the portrait in Jingzhao Prefecture, the one painted by Li Qingcha was indeed countless times more like the person and it was lifelike, as if the person was still alive and right in front of him.
Li Qingcha drew a few more strokes.
Behind the foreign monk appeared "demons and ghosts", just like visualizing hell. Some were ravaged by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons and little ghosts, some were whipped, some were crushed by heavy stones, and some were swallowed by giant snakes.
Baihuo asked angrily, "What does this mean, Mr. Li?"
Li Qingcha said: "This person wanted to kill me, in my eyes he is an evil ghost."
"Donor Li, even the King Kong has angry eyes..."
"hypocritical."
"you……"
The anger on Baihuo's face was more obvious than before.
Gong Lianxue nodded.
Brother, you have the demeanor of a demon sect. This psychological tactic is really good. You confuse the other person's mentality first, and then what you say will be wrong.
