Watching the movie "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" has a feeling

Watching the movie "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" has a feeling:

"There are countless Bodhi books, and Spiegel is not a platform. Originally there is nothing, where to stir up dust" This is the four sayings of the Six Ancestors of Zen Buddhism, which means that everything in the world is like a dream, if it is looming, if there is none, everything is only in the state of mind, do not cling to the appearance of the world, and the delusion of the mind is bound by the appearance. Huineng is derived from the words of Shenxiu, whose original words are "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror platform." Always wipe diligently, do not stir up dust", Shenxiu is clinging to the appearance, seems to have a willful act, delusional to the end, Huineng is to break through the shackles of appearance, there is a realm of transcending the name of the religion and letting nature go. He also said to Hongnin, "Man has a north and a south, but Buddha-nature has no north and south", Huineng does not know the words, but he can understand the Buddhist scriptures, and indeed he has a clear mind and self-realization of bodhichitta. It can be seen that everyone has Buddha-nature, and the cultivation is only in the mind, qualitative strength, enlightenment, the heart must have a strong will, in the faith to maintain perseverance, to be able to actively participate in all things, so that they can achieve earlier enlightenment.

After watching the 1979 film "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" directed by Hu Jinquan, the people in it were bound by appearances, fell into the shackles of the world, and finally made a big mistake. In order to get a copy of the Qiu family's "Diamond Sutra", he did not hesitate to frame the Qiu family, beat Qiu Ming's eldest brother to death in the hall, and then framed Qiu Ming as a thief and sent him to a distant place, Qiu Mingxing was rescued by his friends and bought Du Mu to become a monk at the Three Treasures Temple. The presiding Zen master Zhiyan felt that his death was imminent, and wanted to pass on the abbot to the disciples, and invited Wen Anju, General Wang Ji, to witness, and also invited Master Wu wai. Unexpectedly, outside the temple, they were all pregnant with ghost fetuses, foolish and suspicious, master brother Huitong and second master huiwen were coveting the position of presiding, Huitong Afu Wang, Huiwen colluded with Wenjushi. Wang Ji and Wen An ostensibly came to witness the newly presided over meeting, but in fact they came to steal the fragments of the Mahayana Doctrine of Faith in the temple, which is said to be the manuscript of the Tang Dynasty Master Xuanzang, so it was considered to be of great value, Wang Ji brought Zhang Cheng to wait for the opportunity to move, wen An also invited the female snitch White Fox to help, pretending to be his wife, plus the golden lock to assist.

It is believed that the people who may take over the host are Huitong, Huiwen, and the master and disciple Huisi, Huitong and Huiwen want to be the host, and fall into the worldly shackles of competing for power and profit, so the cultivation of the two is not suitable for hosting at all, Huisi is honest and generous, there is no dispute with the world, and the realm is above these two brothers. In an examination, Zhi Yan presided over the three apprentices to go to the pond to fetch a bucket of clear water, Hui Tong and Hui Wen are all using their hearts and tricks, with the help of external means, only Hui Si does nothing, it is simply a bucket of water, he said "listen to its nature, the heart is clear and clear", Hui Si's realm is not to cling to delusions, and become a Buddha on the ground. Master Wuwai once also gave these disciples a test, while meditating with everyone and meditating, while letting his female apprentices bathe in the water next to them, Huitong and Huiwen both had lustful thoughts, and they couldn't hold on to it, peeped endlessly, and immediately moved their hearts. Monks should have gotten rid of their wine-colored wealth, but as a result, many monks were lazy and lazy, drinking wine and eating meat, and these people's renunciation was only to solve the problem of food and clothing, not to practice the sermons, and the temples ended up hiding dirt and grime, and they could not really be pure.

In the end, the presiding position was handed over to Qiu Ming, who gave the Title of Hui Ming, because Qiu Ming really achieved that his heart was free of external objects, did not fall into red dust, and could see and become a Buddha, which was also the test of him in the temple. Qiu Ming belonged to the family that was killed by the evil people, and even when he met the enemy Zhang Cheng, he forgot about the worldly strife, had no hatred or complaint, and still treated others with a kind heart. Unwilling to allow Qiu Ming to be the host, Huitong instigated the fire and instigated the monks of the temple to make trouble, saying that they did not have enough to eat, the food was poor, and the monks should have accepted the suffering, but they could not imagine that these monks were obsessed with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, obviously a group of mortals, why did they squeeze through the temple door to defile the Buddhist gate. Qiu Ming proposed that everyone cultivate together and advocated self-reliance, as a result, a Gan disciple cried bitterly and did not send it, Wen Jushi and General Wang also tried to be poor and sent people to steal the scriptures, and as a result, they killed each other, and finally Zhang Cheng and Jin Suo were killed in the fight, Wen Jushi also fell off a cliff and died, and the female snitch also fell out of the house under Qiu Ming's influence.

Qiu Ming burned the original sutra "Mahayana Theory of Faith" on the spot in front of everyone, and for General Wang, who was poor in donkey skills, he could only sigh secretly, in fact, Zhiyan had already had his own manuscript, and Qiu Ming sent a volume to General Wang. Qiu Ming's intention is very clear, the scriptures are only appearances, the realm of the Dharma is in their own understanding, the scriptures are also written by people, the people who write it are enlightened, and they can only enlighten in order to enlighten, if they only cling to the scriptures, they can only pick up people's wisdom, and the practitioners should have their own thoughts and theories, and they can become their own family. Hui Tong and Hui Wen are more interested in fame and power, their monasticism can only be short-sighted, there is no Mahayana thought, Wen An and Wang Ji's beliefs belong to the reputation of selling fame and reputation, they are all mercenary people, and they can do whatever it takes to benefit and harm nature. Practice also talks about the unity of knowledge and action, understanding theory, but also knowing how to abide by it, and knowing how to pass on these truths to others. Some people can't do it, or even don't want to do it, or don't know what to do, so they disguise themselves as people with faith, these people are the black sheep, not practicing the Dharma, but performing magic, and all cultivators are not true practitioners if they are resentful, love and separation, and cannot be bound.

I also want to become a monk, I can also be regarded as a family ruined, homeless, but my monasticism is also contradictory, what am I going to do, is it to avoid disasters, or for food and clothing, I hate the entanglement of right and wrong in the world, this is to avoid disasters, I have no relatives and no reason, and I am more or less dependent on the family, this is for food and clothing. If these two hearts do not go, my monasticism is also a mortal heart, but since it is a mortal fetus, it is inevitable that it will be delayed by the skin bag, and the harm of material desire can only be simplified to the minimum. I have no place in the red dust, so whether I can really be pure and peaceful after I was born, if it is still in ancient times, it is not necessarily now, monasticism also depends on relationships and diplomas, and now the smell of copper is also heavy, fake drama is really done, true and false is difficult to argue, usually also have to be controlled by the local government, and it is not like a place of cultivation. Now, it's like being unable to have no land, people who don't have real cultivation are unable to do it, no real pure place is no land, they are in cahoots with the world, they are willing to degenerate, these are all demonic paths. Taoists say that they are in the same dust with light, which is not to teach people to live in the same stream, this means that they can live in an environment with anyone in the world, and there must be a bottom line, that is, they cannot go to the same side, to blindly follow, they should be like a spectator, not a participant.
