Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 224, Wise Monk

The middle-aged monk looked at Li Yun and other Taoist priests, then at Hanxiang, put his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "You can come in, but she can't."

Li Yun said with a calm expression on his face.

"The female crown is also a Taoist priest, why can't Hanxiang go in?"

"You are Taoist priests, we are not. My Buddha is merciful and does not welcome female relatives to enter. Either you come in, or you can return where you left off. Let's put it here." The middle-aged monk saw that Li Yunyi, a young Taoist priest, dared to refute something. A little impatient.

In other words, because of such a trivial matter, he had to go out of the monastery to explain in person, which is very annoying in itself.

The little novice at the side was not as repulsive as the middle-aged monk, but quickly added apologies: "I'm sorry, Daoist, this is our uncle wise, the first seat in the front hall, and in the end we still feel that it is a bit strange for this female crown to appear in the temple. It’s not right, I’m sorry.”

A look of disappointment also flashed across the little novice's face.

After all, he is still young, so he is naturally happy to see beautiful girls, but now that he is the first to speak, he, a little novice, can't decide anything.
"The more irritable you are, the more disturbed your mind is, the more it proves that I did nothing wrong. Do you understand?" The wise monk showed an impatient face, and then he scribbled a Buddha ceremony, and said to Li Yun with condescending eyes: "What is your decision now? Come to my Dalin Temple to listen to Zen, or leave with this little girl."

"Senior brother, why don't we just forget about it. You go in and listen to the scriptures, and Hanxiang can go back to the Taoist temple alone." Hanxiang also couldn't help but said beside him, it is very good to be able to go out and play with the senior brother this time, as for She is really not very interested in listening to Zen in the monastery.

Li Yun didn't answer Hanxiang, but looked at the wise monk in front of him with his eyes level and said.

"Just because Hanxiang is a woman, so you can't go in? This reason is a little too ridiculous, besides, Pindao is indeed invited by his colleagues."

"Buddhism's pure conduct, no desire, great benevolence, women can naturally enter, but if the bones and red faces enter, they will be contaminated with evil karma and affect my young novice in Dalin Temple." The wise monk pointed to the little novice in front of the door just now. Expressionlessly said: "He has been influenced by your female crown. At the end of the Dharma conference, he still has to recite the scriptures five hundred times to meditate."

That is to say, unattractive girls can enter, but beautiful girls cannot.
After listening to what the wise monk said, most of the ordinary people around who came to listen to Zen felt that there was a certain truth in it. In this place where the Buddhist temple is pure and ascetic, you brought a beautiful woman in to make trouble, didn’t you? ?
Li Yun laughed three times.

"Haha! A joke, what a joke."

"What's so funny?" Zhizhi frowned. How could this little Taoist priest in front of him be so ungrateful and dare to be rude in front of himself, the head of Dalin Temple?
You must know that the first seat is equivalent to the second in command of the temple, only one grade lower than the presiding officer. No matter how many dignitaries and dignitaries want to curry favor with him, they have no chance to come here to worship the Buddha.
I am a big shot!

"You are worth laughing out loud just based on your four words of demon bones and beauty." Li Yun's face gradually calmed down, and he said calmly: "The so-called saying that a body with five leaks cannot become a Buddha is nonsense."

"Why is it nonsense? I don't have enough, and I have all kinds of troubles. Here, it will also affect our path to becoming a Buddha. How is it nonsense? How can you say that you, a young Taoist, know better than me? Zen theory?" The wise monk bit the four big words "young and young" very seriously, and when he looked at Li Yun in front of him, he felt that this was just a little Taoist priest who came to see the world, and his status was completely incomparable.

At this time, Xuanli, who was eating melons on the sidelines, was unhappy, frowned and said: "The so-called knowledge is not limited by age. Not to mention, is it not a big deal to understand the principles of Zen?"

Master Yun Guan!
The three big characters were said to surprise everyone present. The monk naturally knew the master of the Zhengming Temple. It can be said that the Taoist in this small place is the leader. It is exactly the same that Dalin Temple will invite Xuanli Come here, as for the others, it's all for his sake.

Didn't expect that the master of Zhengming Temple would also look highly respected?
"Okay, let me see what you can say." Zhizhi restrained a little, but his tone was still very bad. After all, such a young temple master is definitely not a Taoist temple master. He is probably just a little clever That's all.
Li Yun looked at the monk, but asked rhetorically.

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but you divide men and women into different grades. This in itself is against Zen principles, isn't it?"

This is the most basic Zen principle of Buddhism, and it is also the basic idea advocated by Buddhism, not one of them.

Since all living beings are equal, how can they be divided into different categories?
"There is a famous saying in our Buddhist school, which is [Western Pure Land has no women]. Since there are no women in Western Buddhist countries, then our Dalin Temple will naturally follow the example of the country. Lin Temple's rules." Zhizhi said with a disapproving expression.

Since there are no women in the Western Pure Land, so is my Dalin Temple. The Buddhist scriptures say so, what can you do with me?
Frankly speaking, Zhizhi didn't think that bringing a woman inside would have much impact on the little novice monk. After all, technology is so advanced now that you can find a lot of beauties and handsome guys on the Internet.

But the rules are the rules, Zhi Zhi feels that he is in charge of the rules, so no one can break them!

Especially the feeling of holding power in his hands makes him feel that he can control others. This person is still a Taoist priest, and that feeling is really refreshing.
Before Li Yun could speak, the system in his mind suddenly said.

"Whether it is a man or a woman, these are all false appearances. The so-called female appearance refers to tainted, lustful, jealous, and cowardly. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, those who have a female appearance cannot become Indra, Brahma King, and Wheel King. , Demon King, these are all fictitious, not referring to male and female gender, but referring to people without Buddha nature, this little monk came out with half a bucket of water and pretended to be 13, really. Tsk tsk."

Sure enough, Brother System is still awesome!

Li Yun silently gave the system a thumbs up, it is still reliable at critical moments
After listening, Li Yun had an inscrutable expression on his face, and said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Then, do you know where this Pure Land No Woman came from?"

"Where did it come from? Tell you why, of course it's from the Buddhist scriptures." Zhi Zhi said disapprovingly, seeing Li Yun's indifferent expression, he was upset.

At this time, Li Yun shook his head and sighed softly: "Go and think about what you did after reading the "Nirvana Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Xixizhenzhi" and "Agama Sutra."

Li Yun, the elder's tone of reprimanding the younger generation, made Zhizhi a little uncomfortable. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by an old voice.

"The little Daoist is right."
