But Fahui smiled slightly: "What do you do to get rid of afflictions?"
Suddenly, everyone present was stunned.
After a while, the people of Dayuan Temple nodded one after another, while the people of Tianfo Temple were a little sad.
This phrase reveals the meaning of Zen, and it also means to be a cow and horse for all living beings. Purdue all living beings, there is a fearless or detached spirit in it.
In contrast, the problem of Fahui falls behind, focusing only on how to solve the afflictions in the practice, and paying too much attention to the ego.
This Fahui is really not simple.
Elder Wu Chang took out a cigarette from his cuff, lit it slowly, and frowned, taking a deep breath.
Sure enough, the disciples of the Bodhidharma Academy froze for a long time when they heard Fahui's words, then stood up and said with shame on their faces: "Brother is talented, I am not as good as you."
After the disciple withdrew, the second disciple of the Bodhidharma Academy stepped forward.
This disciple's name is Huineng, and in the Bodhidharma Academy, the debate is very good.
"Brother, disciple Huineng."
"Disciple Fahui."
After introducing each other, Hui Neng puffed up his chest and raised his chin slightly, but before he could ask a question, Fa Hui asked, "Is the Ding Hui you have learned one or two?"
Huineng was startled, shook his head and said, "The Dinghui we have learned is neither one nor two."
Fahui said: "Since it is neither one nor two, why is it called Dinghui?"
Hui Neng was stunned, and said: "Even if you are in samadhi, it is not samadhi; even if you are in wisdom, you are not wisdom. One is not one, and two is not two."
Fahui said: "When one is not one, two are not two. This is not Dinghui, how can it be called Dinghui?"
Hui Neng thought for a moment and said, "Neither one nor two, Dinghui knows. Neither one nor two, Dinghui also knows."
Fa Hui said: "Hui is not samadhi, how do you know it? Not one and not two. Who is samadhi and who is wisdom?"
Huineng pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Brother is a great talent, Huineng has been taught."
All the people in Dayuan Temple showed that they were sure of victory on their faces at this moment.
He has already won two out of three games. Even if there are any capable people in Tianfo Temple, they will be powerless to recover!
All the people in Tianfo Temple lowered their heads and lowered their eyes. Although they had heard that Fahui's debate was unparalleled, when they actually saw it, they still had some changes in their hearts.
Ungrowth is still puffing and smoking.
Finally, the third member of the Bodhidharma Institute stepped forward.
This person is the head of the disciples of Bodhidharma Academy, Hui Xin.The debate this time is actually a big problem in the last debate, that is, the problem of existence and non-existence.
In the face of Fahui, Tianfo Temple does not plan to send out the elder Bodhidharma of the older generation. It is good to use all this as a debate between the younger generation, otherwise it will be unreasonable based on emotion and reason.
Huixin stepped forward, but before he could open his mouth, Fahui asked, "Why are all dharmas called reality?"
Chapter 12 Debate
Huixin said: "All kinds of things that do not intersect with each other are called reality."
Fahui said: "If all kinds of things are not intertwined, they are called reality, how should they be defined?"
Huixin said: "In fact, there is no samadhi in various forms. If there is samadhi, how can it be called reality?"
Fahui said: "All kinds of appearances are uncertain, so they are called reality. You may not be sure today, how did you get it?"
Hui Xin said: "I might not be talking about various appearances, but if I talk about various appearances, the meaning is the same."
Fahui said: "You may say that it should be the reality, but the samadhi is actually the indeterminate, so it is not the reality."
Huixin said: "Since samadhi is indeterminate, it is not the reality. Just like knowing that I am not me, indeterminate is invariable."
Fahui said: "You say it doesn't change, how do you call it reality? It has changed and flowed, and the meaning is still the same."
Huixin said: "If it doesn't change, it should be there, and if it's there, it's not there. So we changed the reality to determine its meaning."
Fahui said: "The reality is unchanging, and if it changes, it is not the reality. You can look at nothing. What is the reality?"
Huixin pointed to the void and said, "This is the form in the world, and it can also be regarded as void. With my body, can it look like this?"
Fahui said: "If you understand the reality, you will see no form. If you understand no form, you will also understand that all things are false, and the understanding of all things will not lose their false form. The understanding of no form , does not hinder the feeling of appearance. If you can understand it in this way, it is called reality.”
Hui Xin was silent for a moment, then said: "Hui Xin is not as good as it is."
There was a look of joy in the eyes of the monks in Dayuan Temple, but Wu Changchang finally finished smoking a cigarette, threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and crushed it hard.
No one speaks.
Fa Hui stood up.
"Brothers and elders, I'm going out to rest for a while."
The monks of Dayuan Temple took a hard look at Wu Changlao, the hall was full of smog.
The elder of Dayuan Temple nodded: "Go."
Among the monks in Dayuan Temple, a young monk said: "Brother, I'll go with you!"
Walking in the Tianfo Temple, the two walked along a path and walked into a bamboo forest.
Fahui said indifferently: "Xiaozhen, how do you see the Buddhist temple today?"
Fazhen shook his head and said, "Brother, today's Buddhist temple is not serious."
"Why?"
"The people inside are not serious."
Fazhen said: "I see that there are people who smoke and have tattoos in this Buddhist temple, and they are all very high in the status of the Buddhist temple. How can such a Buddhist temple get the Dharma?"
Fa Hui sighed, and said, "Even so, the level of Tianfo Temple is still very high. Maybe... it's because they are ignorant and incompetent."
As soon as the words were finished, a novice suddenly appeared from the side of the bamboo forest, blocking their way.
At this moment, they had reached the depths of the bamboo forest, and there were lush green bamboos everywhere. The sudden appearance of this little novice made the two of them slightly startled.
At this moment, the little novice suddenly raised his head and said with a slight smile, "What are you here for?"
Fazhen was a little angry, and just about to speak, Fahui put his hands together and said, "I came here to discuss Buddhism."
