Chapter 514 Seeking Buddha's Help
Emperor Gai Zhang smiled when he heard this.
He Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please listen. I am not talented enough. How neatly this pairing works. "Drowsy" pairs with "awake," "asleep" pairs with "asleep." Very good."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Heshen, you are not right. Mo Li is talking about awakening from delusion and attaining enlightenment."
Mo Li looked at Heshen and said, "I heard it."
He Shen smiled and said, "Oh, right, I know that the emperor has been working hard day and night for the affairs of Jiangnan these days and has not been able to sleep well at night. I specially asked for a few good prescriptions from famous doctors in Jiangnan and was preparing to present them to the emperor."
Emperor Gai Zhang just said "oh" and didn't say anything.
Mo Li said, "Heshen, you know that the Emperor can't sleep, and this can't be cured by medicine. Once I come up with this prescription, the Emperor will naturally be able to sleep."
Emperor Gai Zhang remembered something and said, "Wait, Mo Li, I got it. I believe that form is emptiness and emptiness is form, but I have proved the supreme Bodhi from the world of true nature."
Mo Li praised: "Excellent answer, Your Majesty is truly, wonderful."
Heshen also echoed the same words.
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "It's quite neat. It's just that when he arrived at Jixiang Temple and thought about his discussion of Zen with Master Lufan, he came up with these few sentences."
Mo Li and He Shen both agreed.
Mo Li also remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Lu Fan?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "She is quite talented and beautiful. If it weren't for her... she would be considered a woman of decent character."
Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, your eyes are as sharp as a torch. Liao Fan is a man who lives in the mud and is deeply polluted, but he still has a conscience."
He Shen was quite dissatisfied with what he said and said, "Why keep it? She ran away because of her crime. If she is caught, she will be severely punished. Why keep it?"
Mo Li felt that what he said was wrong, "Alright, sir, don't worry, let's go inside, Your Majesty, let's go for a walk." He stretched out his hand.
……
"If one can understand the truth within oneself, then having that truth is the cause of Buddhahood. Those who seek Buddhahood without seeking their own truth are truly foolish. This is a verse from the Fifth Patriarch Huineng, which says that Buddhahood lies within the heart, and enlightenment is self-made."
Emperor Gai Zhang looked at the words on the wall for a while, then turned to look at Heshen and Mo Li.
Mo Li said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, before she died, Liao Fan had already guessed that she would die, so she wrote down the verses before Huineng's passing. But Your Majesty, have you seen that these verses are written in a very strange way?"
Emperor Gai Zhang didn't notice it and asked, "Why is it strange?"
Mo Li pointed at the words on the paper and said, "Look, the four characters 'ask Buddha to search for Buddha' are written in a different style than the others. They are in seal script."
Emperor Gai Zhang hummed and said, "Except for these four seal characters, the rest are cursive script."
He Shen complained, "This nun is weird, and her handwriting is weird too. It's a mess. Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that this room is gloomy and unlucky. How about we leave first?"
Emperor Gai Zhang was very surprised. "Why did He Shen's expression change?"
Mo Li looked at He Shen and said, "Master He, your expression suddenly changed. Have you figured out what she meant by that?"
Heshen shook his head like a rattle and said no.
"Please ask the Buddha to find it, please ask the Buddha to find it. Come, how many Buddha statues are there in this temple? Find the biggest one."
Emperor Gai Zhang gave the order.
……
The three of them arrived in front of a large Buddha statue. Emperor Gai Zhang looked here and there. Mo Li stared at the Buddha in a daze. He Shen checked the cushion on the ground.
"What's there?"
"We have to see them all."
Mo Li noticed something strange about the base, pushed it with his hand, and motioned He Heshen to come over.
Heshen asked him what he was doing, and Mo Li said he was helping out.
