Just as the petals of the blazing golden lotus on Wudang Mountain were slowly blooming…
There were even majestic orthodoxies that made one's heart tremble as they surrounded the eighty-two peaks, lingering for a long time.
Every Wudang disciple had a joyful smile on their face as they shouted,"Wudang is thriving!"
A guest came.
At the foot of Mount Wudang, a tall monk dressed in white slowly approached.
His face was filled with devout Buddhist will, and there were prayer beads the size of a fist hanging around his neck, but he did not feel heavy at all.
He put his palms together.
Step by step, he walked toward Wudang Mountain like an ascetic monk.
It was like a friend from afar who had come to meet a guest.
With each step he took, lotuses blossomed, and Buddhist light appeared.
With each step, a lotus flower appeared, and the chanting continued.
Although the sound was not loud, it was not shattered by the Dao sound on Wudang Mountain.
It was even because he was getting closer and closer.
The surrounding disciples of Wudang Mountain only felt the chanting in their ears getting louder and louder. It actually suppressed the sound of Dao on Wudang Mountain and the radiance of the golden lotus.
This strength was truly terrifying.
The Wudang disciples were secretly shocked.
However, someone quickly recognized the newcomer and still greeted him with a smile." I've long heard that Master Li Dangxin of the Two Zen Monastery has already cultivated to the perfected Vajra Realm. He's equivalent to a land deity of the martial world. Seeing him today, he's indeed extraordinary."”
Li Dangxin placed a hand in front of him and said slowly,""This Penniless Monk came up the mountain to seek Zen.”
The welcoming disciple smiled and said," Master, you must be looking for Master Daoji. Master Daoji is not only exquisite in Buddhism, but also has the true meaning of Taoism. He cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism. He is really far behind us."”
Li Dangxin was slightly startled. This welcoming disciple seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. Could it be that Daoji had done something earth-shattering again?
However, he had cultivated Buddhism for many years and his state of mind was extraordinary. He said calmly,"This Penniless Monk is here to ask Master Daoji for guidance.”
"Please."
The people from Wudang Mountain brought Li Dangxin up the mountain.
The tall monk went up the stairs and came to the waterfall. He saw Daoji.
At first glance, he looked like an ordinary beggar monk.
It was even a little dirty and smelly.
However, upon closer inspection, he could not even see through the other party's realm and strength.
They would even subconsciously ignore the other party and think that the other party was just a stone, a blade of grass, or a drop of rain.
Li Dangxin put his palms together and said," Master Daoji is famous all over the world. He has helped the world and saved people. Everyone calls him a living Buddha and a holy monk. This Penniless Monk has cultivated for many years, but the Buddhist Dharma is boundless and vast. This Penniless Monk still has many questions in his heart. Master, please enlighten me."”
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Li Dangxin and said,""This Penniless Monk has no intention of being a Holy Monk or Living Buddha. These titles are just gifts from others.”
Although he said this, he was still fanning himself, looking as if he had accepted it without a single complaint.
Ji Gong was originally a Buddha on earth. Why should he be humble to the Buddha?
Li Dang chanted a Buddhist proclamation in his heart and said,""The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a bright mirror.”
The people from Wudang Sect could not help but look at each other.
"This is Li Dangxin asking about Zen. He was talking about his own understanding of the word Zen.”
"Meditation is like cultivation. The body is the bodhi tree, and the heart is like a clear mirror. You need to constantly remember the principles of meditation to cultivate, and you can't remember this matter.”
"I wonder how Master Daoji will respond.”
Li Xiuyuan only smiled and said,""Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in it, so how can it attract dust?”
The moment these words came out, Li Dangxin could not help but be slightly startled.
If the Zen state that Li Dangxin had just mentioned was a state of 'having' that needed to be wiped away at all times, then it was a state of 'having.'
Then the Zen that Li Xiuyuan mentioned was already the realm of "nothing".
All outward appearances are nothing, and there are no trees or platforms in the first place, so why should they be wiped away?
Was it the tree and the platform that were covered in dust, or was it his own heart?
As long as one's heart was dustless, everything was dustless.
This realm was far higher than Li Dangxin's Zen philosophy earlier.
The Wudang Sect members couldn't help but feel happy.
"I didn't expect Master Daoji to have such a profound understanding of Zen.”
However, if he had been defeated so easily, Li Dangxin would not have been known as someone who had no Zen to speak of.
Li Dangxin smiled and continued,""Why is the nature itself pure, why is the nature itself not born and destroyed, why is the nature itself complete, why is the nature itself unshakable, why is the nature itself able to produce all dharma?”
These words were referring to his own nature. It turned out to be pure, unborn, indestructible, perfect, unwavering, and able to produce all things.
This sentence was said by Li Dangxin in accordance with the realm of Li Xiuyuan's 'nothing'.
From the realm of 'nothing', a' being 'was born.
This realm had increased again, and this was the Buddha nature.
Everyone from Wudang felt their hearts sink.
Such a realm already made them admire endlessly in their hearts.
He knew that he had not reached such a realm.
He didn't know how he could reach a higher and deeper level than the other party.
After all, the other party had gone from nothing to something. How should he deal with it?
How should Doji answer such a shameless Zen?
Li Xiuyuan did not mind. He even took a sip of wine and walked unsteadily towards the waterfall in front of him.
He drank a mouthful of wine in a carefree manner.
Then, he threw the wine gourd in his hand into the sky.
In an instant, several different images appeared in the air.
The first scene.
A child stood in the middle of the green mountains and clear water.
The mountains were quiet and the water flowed.
The child's eyes were filled with curiosity and the unknown. His heart was also pure and flawless.
His mother squatted down and told him that the motionless thing in front of him was a mountain, and he recognized the mountain.
The thing that moved in the distance was 'water', so he recognized water.
They believed that seeing was believing, and that what they saw with their eyes was real.
The second scene.
The child's age gradually grew.
He had encountered countless difficulties and setbacks.
In his eyes, the world was becoming more and more complicated. It was no longer as simple as his mother had described.
Often, black and white were reversed, right and wrong were confused.
He began to gradually understand the deep meaning of life. At this time, he sighed when he looked at the mountains and the water. He was not willing to believe anything easily.
The third scene.
Many people couldn't get out of the second realm and lived their lives.
Looking back on the past, he realized that he had not done what he wanted to do and had not gone to the places he wanted to go. He regretted it for the rest of his life.
However, there were some people who returned to their original state, looking at mountains as mountains and water as water.
At this moment, they had already come to a realization.
Without being disturbed by the outside world and others, no matter what the mountains and rivers were in the eyes of others, as long as they were what they liked, so what?
They had already seen all kinds of life and tasted the cold and warmth of the world before they could live freely.
How similar was he to the Daoji Master in front of him?
It turned out that Grandmaster was already above all living beings.
Li Xiuyuan took back the wine gourd, and the scene in the sky slowly disappeared.
He said in a carefree and unrestrained manner,"Mountains are mountains, water is water; The mountains were not mountains, and the water was not water. The mountains were still mountains, and the water was still water.”
The mountains and rivers were no longer just Buddhist principles and Zen sects, but even Taoist techniques were included.
Everyone from Wudang Sect fell into deep thought.
Li Dangxin knew that he had lost in this Dao discussion.
However, he was convinced and lost without any injustice.
