Chapter 226: A Great Heart (1)(1/2)

Piao Tianwen    Zhishan said with a difficult face: "Master Zheng, sometimes it doesn't work, it depends on the pilgrim's piety."

"Am I not pious?" Zheng Lang asked back.

It also makes people easily misunderstood. I, a few of us, believe in Buddhism. I have been influenced by them since I was a child, and even studied in a meditation posture. This is unpious, what is pious? In fact, Zheng Lang is really unpious, but what is wrong with asking?

Zhishan didn't know about this festival, and said silently: "Okay, donor Zheng, I am ready to drive the golden wheel immediately."

Not all pilgrims can see Jinhuan. If you want to see it, you either have a very status or donate a lot of incense money. A wealthy family named Liu from Taipingzhou came to ask for peace. When they saw Jinhuan spinning, they made a great wish and were willing to donate 100 acres of good land to the temple. So Jinhuan spinned quickly, and the more they turned, they donated more and more. In the end, they donated 400 acres of land, becoming a "beautiful talk" in Taipingzhou.

It was very amazing in Taipingzhou, but it was nothing in the entire Song Dynasty. Forty years ago, the military general An Shouzhong donated his 48 hectares of fertile land to Guangci Zen Temple for blessings. There was a more powerful man behind him. Zhang Yu placed his residence in Hangzhou as a temple in Shifang, and also placed 6,300 acres of land in Runzhou as permanent land.

Therefore, it is very difficult to move a famous temple like Linjiang Temple.

Zhishan began to instruct the little monk to prepare. However, his abnormal attitude even caused the four little sisters to have a stronger suspicion. Originally, Zhishan was very happy to hear that Zheng Lang was about to see the golden wheel, and repeatedly said that he was willing to take the initiative to seal off the Guanyin Zen Temple for Praying for Children. When he was true, he was hesitant, and when he opened the golden wheel, hesitant again. Why?

Turning his head to look at Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang shook his head secretly at them.

Today I came here to take a look at Juli. By the way, I blocked the Zen Temple and achieved my goal now. I can't force it down. I'm too tight and I'll be alert to the enemy.

After a while, the golden bell in the bell temple rang out on the mountain, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed in the mountains and forests. The four monks walked in with wooden fish, drums, chimes and cloud boards in their hands. Zhishan said: "Master Zheng, please kneel down and burn incense."

"Abbot, I'm afraid it's not right. When I was with Your Majesty, Your Majesty didn't let me kneel down. Today I knelt down to hear the bell, and I don't know how to reach the capital. What does Your Majesty think?"

Let me kneel? No way!

But isn’t it a psychological tactic? You can’t kneel. One kneel is a kind of contempt. It is even possible that the superstitious people will be enslaved from then on.

"Donor Zheng, it is the Buddha."

It is a statue with no vitality! But Zheng Lang did not tell much and continued: "Your Majesty is also a saint, this is what the monk in Xiangguo Temple said. Therefore, the saint did not hide when he saw the saint. I did not kneel down at His Majesty. Why did he hide behind the Buddha? The Buddha sat in his heart, and the abbot took a look."

"Donor Zheng is not a saint..."

"Abbot, you are really terrified today! I believe in Buddhism or not. You are not here to evaluate it! Isn't this kneeling proved anything?" Zheng Lang said in a low voice.

"Donor Zheng insisted on doing this, so he had to follow the donor Zheng."

Zheng Lang won the battle, but he still respectfully threw three incense sticks. If you want to see it turn, you can't turn it if you don't have "piousness", so how do you think it?

The incense entered the incense burner, and the four great monks beat the wooden fish, small drums, chimes and cloud boards, which was a little noisy, but amid the noise, the huge golden wheel swayed and slowly turned.

Zheng Lang, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and the others were waiting for this moment. When they saw the golden wheel turn, their eyes immediately widened. Look, the wind doesn’t need to be considered, and people push them. There is no one outside, and even someone can’t reach this height, unless they stand on a high chair, and the golden wheel is so huge that if they want to push it, Ding Sheng may not be able to push it easily.

There were no other mechanical settings. There was nothing in front except an incense burner. The Buddha was hollowed out into a lotus shape under the shape of a big flower. At this time, the light was very good, and it could be seen clearly. It was empty and nothing else.

The principles of mechanics cannot be explained, and the principles of resonance cannot be explained. Resonance is just a sound, not a movement.

Seeing this magnificent, the Wei sisters had already been deeply buried. Not only were they, but many tourists and pilgrims came in outside, lying at the door one after another, muttering to pray.

After the incense burned, the golden wheel stopped.

Zhishan Dao: "Donor Zheng, today you may have too many distractions and the golden wheel is slowly turning."

After reading it, Zheng Lang didn't argue and said, "Abbot, it may be."

After walking out of Linjiang Temple, the Wei sisters followed and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, have you brought a boat?"

"Take it."

"Can you take your concubine to Taipingzhou?"

Let Zheng Lang disturb his family and go back to Jiangning. It was almost noon, and there was no car or boat here, so he had to ask for Zheng Lang without fear. If Zheng Lang was a bad person, there would be no one in the world who could trust him.

"Then one."

The few young people and Uncle Lu San were still thinking, but Sima Guang said in a daze: "Doctor Zheng, it's not easy to deal with."

It is not necessary to prove what happened on the mountain. If this golden wheel does not destroy its law, the people will continue to worship it. At that time, someone will ignite the fire and the civil unrest will happen.

"Sima Sanlang, it's not difficult," Zheng Lang smiled and said, "But I'm thinking about something else. This golden wheel is clever. If there are seven or eight kinds of such miracles, will it attract some tourists in Wuhu County?"

“Tourist?”

"With tourists, there are a few more things for them to visit, where they can stay, once they stay, inns, restaurants, and even buy some small items, the local area becomes rich. Local people are rich, and the court can also impose more taxes. I have told His Majesty about opening source before, which is the real open source, not to make money for the country and harsh people."

"This is a good idea, why don't you give advice to Your Majesty?"

"It is difficult, there are many controversies, and the implementation is improper, which may backfire. It disturbs the people and spends funds without effect, and the gain is not worth the loss. I must advance the money myself to avoid the officials of other prefectures and counties studying randomly."

"Why did that golden wheel turn?" Wang Anshi asked.

"Go back and tell you."

"What are you talking about?" Wei Xiaoniang asked curiously.

Zheng Lang ignored this little girl and did not answer.

"Is that golden wheel? Is it because of his other cause?"

"I said there was another reason for him?"

"No."

"It's a pious heart. Haven't you heard what the abbot said just now?"

The little girl blinked and then came up and said, "No, you are very undevoted."

"Another thing, I will throw you down and not take you back to Taipingzhou, so that you can walk back by yourself."

The maid carried a few cabinets and said anxiously: "That won't work. The sun is so big. When you walk to Taipingzhou, you will definitely be so tired that you will lie down."

The youngsters laughed together, and Mr. Lu was kind-hearted and said, "Don't ask too much, Doctor Zheng is for your own good. You will know in three months."

After getting on the boat and going down the river, Zheng Lang sat cross-legged on the cabin. The other few young people didn't learn from him and sat in the cabin to read a book. The young lady of the Wei family asked Sima Guang curiously: "Why don't you call the top scholar a gentleman?"

"Sir, don't let us call him Mr."

"Why?"

He was helpless with this curious baby Sima Guang, and put down the book and said, "He said he was too young."

The girl stared at Zheng Lang, then nodded and said, "It's so small."

"Greater than you."

"It's only two years older than me," the girl said dissatisfiedly.

"So sir refuses to call us sir."

"Then he sat cross-legged on the ground. Why don't you sit cross-legged on the ground?"

"Doctor Zheng is studying. We don't have his memory. Studying like him is like a tiger but not a dog. Doctor Zheng does not encourage us to sit cross-legged and meditate."

"What happened in that temple?"

"Investigate the case. The case has not yet ended, and it will be temporarily blocked."

"No, you guys are so weird."

Sima Guang was no longer able to block his ears with his hands, only focusing on studying, not listening to her questions.

Mrs. Wei smiled and looked at the tenth sister making a fuss. There were many brothers and sisters in the family, and the tenth sister was the youngest, so she spoiled them together and had not been engaged yet. These little men had different personalities and different appearances, but they had one thing in common, all of which were strong scholarly spirit and had a good temper.

If I wanted to have anything to do with the top scholar in the cabin, it would be impossible. They all became close to each other. If my mother-in-law hadn't died strangely, she would have brought her wife to Jiangnan. But even his students seemed to be good.

She thought for a while and saw Zheng Lang open his eyes.

Wei Xiaozi asked curiously again: "Zheng Zhuangyuan, what knowledge were you thinking about just now?"

"Unity of knowledge and action."

"That's it, it's so simple. It's all about knowing and doing. It's really..." The word stupid almost said it.

"Yes, I'm very stupid. I've been thinking about this question for more than a year, but I haven't figured it out yet."

A few eyes shone with light. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi stood up and said, "Please give me advice."

"The body without good or evil, there is good or evil movement, knowing good or evil is conscience, and doing good or evil is to investigate things."

Four sentences, except for Yan Rong becoming a little confused, the other three teenagers were all concentrating on their minds. After a long time, Wang Anshi said, "Miracle."

What a great thing, let’s see what Meng Xun did, one is good in nature and the other is evil in nature. Where does it come from? Therefore, it is said that no good and no evil are the body of the mind, and there is good and evil in the movement of the will. Knowing that good and evil are conscience, doing good and eliminating evil... It is wrong, and said: "Doctor Zheng is not the doctrine of the mean."

"That's right." Zheng Lang sighed. In the early Qing Dynasty, some leftovers of Ming Dynasty attacked Wang Yangming, saying that it was his mind learning that harmed the Ming Dynasty. This sentence was a bit exaggerated. However, the thoughts did have a great one-sided nature, conscience covered cognition, and neglected the logical analysis function of cognition. The mind-nature-based, biased and narrow idealism made his mind learning have a strong subjective and biased flaw. The moral emotional interpretation is unclear, and the internal motivation of morality is unclear.

The unity of knowledge and action is based on these four mantras, and therefore it also has many flaws.

The intention is good, and you will only do it when you know it. What is knowing? You will never think about the word "knowing" in your life. Doing it if you don't know is even more blindly. What should you do? Knowing is unrealistic and not knowing, so you must know that you must establish your purpose. Today, people only know that actions are divided into two parts, so there is a thought that moves. Although it is not good, it has not been done before, so they will not be prohibited. I am talking about the unity of knowledge and action. Just when people know that a thought is activated, they will act; if there is something wrong with the movement, they will defeat this unfair thought and must completely prevent that thought is not lurking in their hearts: this is the purpose of my best words.

The so-called action, a thought is action, even if there are bad thoughts, stop immediately because you have done it! This will reduce the difficulty of action.

Gently interpret these sentences. He also said: "If this is the case, the heart of conscience can be dynamic and calm, and it seems good things, but it will inevitably appear that you will know but not move, be kind-hearted and do not do things, or just be entangled between good and evil. It is better to learn and apply it more objectively."

Lu Gongzhu suddenly said, "I understand, the doctor's words are hard to have an absolute standard in the world. For example, good and evil, knowledge and action, such as yin and yang. However..."

"However, we plan to set a standard, right?" Zheng Lang asked.

"yes."

"In fact, there are many desirable meanings in the unity of knowledge and action, apart from the subjective thoughts being too clear, just like the standard, what is the standard? I can only say that I try my best to make it close to the truth. So I thought about this sentence and its meaning, to remove the drought and preserve the essence. I thought for a long time."

The unity of knowledge and action is very similar to Zheng Lang's thoughts. Zheng Lang also practiced Confucianism and changed it from boastful to practicality, including his interpretation of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty and forgiveness and the doctrine of the mean. However, if you want to adopt the unity of knowledge and action, you must perform greater surgery on the unity of knowledge and action of Wang Yangyin.

He sighed and said, "It's so difficult."
