Chapter 339 Bamboo Forest Teaching

Faith is to tell you that only with faith in your heart can you look up at the sky to find God. - Zhang Deshuai's Quotations

Sunny on Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Look at the grave that accompanied my uncle, and then think of our meeting some time ago. I can't help but feel a little ashamed when I think of the reckless words I said to him some time ago.

However, he is buried in the bamboo forest at this moment. There is a bamboo sound day and night, accompanied by my uncle day and night, I must not be lonely.

Uncle Yuanji looked at the two graves in a daze. After a while, he sat directly on the ground regardless of the dead branches and leaves on the ground. At this moment, those false names can no longer be reflected in him, more like an old man accompanying his old friend. It's just that this is the gap between yin and yang. Even if they are close friends, they can only meet in a dream.

I stood silently behind my silent uncle. His eyes looked at the two small earthen bags in front of him. Qingshan is happy with the loyal soul, but he doesn't know how desolate the loyal soul is. Even Yue Wumu, "who listens to the string?" There was a sigh in front of the storm pavilion, leaving only loyal Qixialing.

While I was thinking nonsense, Uncle Yuanshi suddenly asked, "Have you seen him?"

"Who?" My thoughts are still on Qixialing, and I don't react to Uncle Yuanji's question for a moment.

"This is the guy in front of you."

"I've seen it!" I muttered and answered briefly, "I heard it's very famous."

"Do you know him too?" Uncle Yuanji suddenly became interested.

"I don't know." I continued to answer very briefly. That's what I remembered. It seems that the last time I saw him, I didn't even ask his name, which was a little too rude.

"Like you don't know that he should be normal." Uncle Yuanji sighed again.

I feel a little upset when Uncle Yuanji said this to me. Why is it normal? Don't treat me as an old man. Can't you see that the post-80s on the Internet are beginning to be nostalgic? It seems that I don't have any sense of vicissitudes.

I just looked at Uncle Yuanji unconvincedly, but didn't say anything.

Uncle Yuanji sat down and said to himself: "He is actually very famous. He is the first master of the interpretation.

"I don't know!" I answered honestly. This is the first time I've heard this name. Besides, there is a sea of celebrities across the country. It's real or fake. If I know all of them, I won't go to work every day.

However, I quickly became alert: "Explaining the beginning? Why is this name so strange? After casually saying this, I remembered that there was a guy named Shi, who was very famous.

"Not bad!" Uncle Yuanshi said with a smile below, "You're right. He was not our Taoist before.

"This is fine!" I couldn't help but be surprised. What kind of world is it now? Even religion has been transferred halfway.

Uncle Yuanshi did not respond to my words, but told me the story of the original master.

If you mention this interpretation, you have to mention a famous person. Of course, it's not the well-known guy, but his brother Master Shi Benli. Master Shi Benli was the first host of Tushan Temple. During the Anti-Japanese War, when the national government moved to the capital, Master Shi Benli also participated in the bodyguard. It is unknown what he was. But it must be something important. After the liberation of the country, he was invited to Beijing to work, but was gently rejected by the master. Later, for some historical reasons, Master Shibenli was expelled from the temple for ten years. Later, in that crazy era, the Tushan Temple was also destroyed. Master Shi Benli built an earthen house behind the temple and practiced in the earthen house by himself. In the 1980s, the earthen house was submerged due to a flash flood. In this way, a generation of masters left the place he held.

And this master is the younger brother of Master Shibenli. Originally, when Master Benli was expelled from the temple, he was most qualified to inherit the manor of Master Benli and became the second host of Tushan Temple. But I don't know what this master thought, but he came to Lao Junguan and was willing to be an ordinary Taoist priest.

At that time, the old gentleman must not dare to accept such a guy. Therefore, the original master had to build a house like his brother and practice in the back mountain of Laojun Mountain. But it is not clear how this master has a friendship with my uncle. But it must be that my uncle succeeded the old king and Guanzhu, and he would also visit this master of the interpretation, so that there was a friendship between the two. ( In fact, the first master of Shiben was the second host of Tushan Temple. It's just that in the diary, he pulled people into Taoism. I hope the master will not blame Mu Hong. In addition, you can't favor one over the other just because it is written as a Taoist priest. In fact, Taoism and Buddhism are not important, but they have different beliefs.)

After listening to Uncle Yuanshi's explanation, I felt strange. I can't help asking, "Uncle, according to what you mean, this master was still a monk before. Then why did he come to learn Taoism again?

"Handsome, this is the last lesson I want to give you." Uncle Yuanji answered after listening to my question.

I heard Uncle Yuanshi's words, but I felt uneasy. I don't like classes. If I were willing to go to class, I guess I would be breathing carbon dioxide under the Boya Tower by the unknown lake now?

And Uncle Lonely didn't care whether I wanted to listen to it or not, so he gave me a lesson:

"Actually, we like to divide religion into Christianity, Buddhism and Taoism. This is just a secular division. And all these religions can be summed up in one sentence, that is, 'the roads are the same'.

"Christians believe in the Lord, and Buddhism honors Sakyamuni as the Buddha, but the ancestor of Taoism is the emperor. We always feel that they are different because of their different origin. For example, Jehovah is a white-bearded old man, while Buddha is a scroll, but the old man is an old man who likes to ride a cow and climb the wall. But I don't know that this is only the side that God shows in front of us. We don't know what these gods look like. But they will appear in our dreams and in our consciousness. So we like to interpret these vague shadows according to our own consciousness, so these gods have different faces. And it is according to this difference in appearance that we have the religions of different sects. However, these gods are the same. They all live in our hearts.

"Christianity teaches us to 'thank you', Buddhism teaches us to 'let go', and Taoism teaches us 'morality'. In fact, the essence of these things is the same. To sum up, there is only one word - 'love'! Because of gratitude, we will give back with love; because of letting go, we will eliminate your stereotypes and produce more love; with morality, we like to carry forward this kind of love. These religions spare no effort in promoting love. Because only with love can we get rid of our distress.

............

Listening to Uncle Yuanji's sermon, I have some insights. Because I thought of Wu Xie. If it hadn't been for his fraternity, I wouldn't have been able to stand here now. Without love, we would not have survived until now.

After Uncle Yuanji finished his last class, he asked me, "Do you think Master Shiben can understand now?"

I nodded and replied, "I thought it was a transfer, but I found that this is the only school. How about transferring to school? But I didn't want to stay in the original class, so I had to change classes.

After listening to my vulgar metaphor, he could only nod with a smile. After he finished laughing, he stood up from the ground and said to me, "Master Shi Benchu did this to tell us. In fact, Buddhism and Taoism are no different. The difference is only that we added it later.

"I see. This is the same as his uncle and his second uncle, and both Sister Feng and Teacher Cang are women. I continued to explain.

Uncle Yuanji looked at me and affirmed my very simple and easy-to-understand words.

"Actually, I didn't have any friendship with Shi Ben before." Uncle Yuanshi suddenly had a voice.

I feel very strange that Uncle Yuanji can say so well. But I soon learned that it was the same as writing the Biography of Jeremy Lin. Just take a look at you in the newspaper, and I dare to write a biography for you. I don't know you, but I can't stop my evaluation of you. I dare not go to my aunt's state power, but this does not stop my economic sanctions against them. The reason is the same. Anyway, even if we don't know each other, I still scold you for not taking off your clothes.

"You are a divine friendship, aren't you? Just like in Heroes. I also complimented Uncle Yuanji.

"I met Master Shi Benchu three times this time. One time I sent your uncle's clothes here, and the other time I came last time, and this is the third time. Uncle Yuanji replied with a smile.

"You said this is my uncle's tomb." I pointed to my uncle's little bag and said loudly.

"It's just something outside the heart. What's the difference between him and not without him? Whether it's clothes or the body, isn't it all the same?" Uncle Yuanji said slowly, and his eyes also looked at the small bag buried in my uncle's clothes.

I thought of another thing. Because if according to what Uncle Lonely said just now, that is, he gave my uncle's clothes, then my uncle's relationship with him should be not shallow. But why did my uncle leave me such a message at the end?

At this time, I don't understand.
