There is a segment in the drama 'Tian Dao' that is very attractive to the audience. It is said that it has been deleted and there is no longer any plot in the drama. Why it needs to be deleted does not require further investigation. After living in this society for a long time, one will naturally understand why. This dialogue is called "Ding Yuanying's Mount Wutai Doctrine". The reason why the author chose Mount Wutai instead of Jiuhua Mountain, Emei Mountain and even Putuo Mountain is that I think the author wants to show his Buddhist accomplishments through Ding Yuanying's Mount Wutai Doctrine. Mount Wutai is the site of Manjusri Bodhisattva's Taoism Center. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the teacher of the seven Buddhas and the existence of wisdom first. Ding Yuanying's going to Mount Wutai to discuss Taoism is the summit of wisdom.
Extract the general contents of Ding Yuanying's comments on Mount Wutai:
Master: "Two benefactors, please sit down and speak
Master: "May I ask, sir, what is the true scripture? What can one do without obtaining the true scripture
Han Chufeng (reciting a poem): "To understand the Tao, one should stop talking about the mandate of heaven. When practicing, one should not take the true scriptures. With one sorrow, one joy, and one withered glory, which previous life is destined? The robe itself is not pure, and the mortal world is not tainted by emptiness. The thousand year old bells of secluded ancient temples are all dreams of fools
Ding Yuanying said, "When the master interrogated the younger generation, it was natural and reasonable for them to speak recklessly. The so-called true scripture is the ultimate method that can achieve emptiness and nirvana, which can be understood but not practiced. To become a Buddha, one must seek. To understand one's nature, one must know. Practice is to control one's nature through actions, and to realize the Tao is to implement it through one's nature. The awakened one generates laws from the heart, and the cultivated one controls the heart through laws. Those who believe without certificates may not suffer negative consequences, but they must hold onto the cause, hold onto the fruit, and hold onto the mind. If they are born or died, they cannot attain nirvana
Master: "Without becoming a Buddha, what is Buddhism
Ding Yuanying: "Buddha is consciousness, non-human. Having consciousness for everyone does not mean that consciousness is human. Human form can be corrupted, and consciousness is neither born nor extinguished. That is, consciousness is manifested immediately, obstacles are covered by dust, and obstacles are not manifested, resulting in nirvana. The Buddha who realizes and practices perfection is the Buddha of human form in Buddhism, and perfection is the end. If the Buddha has quantity, it is not Amitabha Buddha. Buddhism has no quantity, no roundness, no fullness, no dissatisfaction, and there is no perfect name. Buddhism is divided by second order, and from the depths of essence, it is the natural way to obtain the Tao. The Tao Buddha is incredible, which is not culture. From a superficial perspective, it is to guide people towards goodness. The doctrine of good and evil is that there are human, self, and sentient beings, which is culture. From the perspective of sentient beings, it is the skillful use of greed to control greed and illusions to control illusions. Although it does not eliminate corruption and vulgarity, it does not hinder the compassion that soothes the soul
Master: "With your writing and words, you are not a Buddhist. You are not bound by the scriptures, and it is commendable that you have achieved such a state of enlightenment. In my opinion, you have already stepped on the threshold of enlightenment. You are only one step away from enlightenment. If you advance, you will reach a pure land; if you retreat, you will reach the mortal world. However, this step is as difficult as climbing to heaven
Ding Yuanying said, "Thank you for your guidance, I am ashamed! Shame! The Buddhist sect speaks of the word 'fate'. If my fate with the Buddha reaches the threshold, it is considered to have ended. I cannot enter the narrow gate with Christ, and I cannot attain enlightenment with the Buddha. I am a mediocre master. I have already seen from that poem that I am a few classes of people, pretending to be gentle, revealing my ruffian nature, and writing the word 'anger' all over the paper. Today, I came to the Buddhist sect to pay my respects to the master in a pure manner, just to gain some peace of mind
Master: "The benefactor knocked on the door with money. What if the poor monk accepted the money
Han Chufeng: "Let's go. If it's something that money can buy, there's no need to worship Buddha
Master: "This is homemade tea in the temple, and the water is spring water from the mountain. Please taste it, two donors
Ding Yuanying: "Good tea
Master: "The benefactor did not go up the mountain for the purpose of practicing Buddhist principles. If there is anything, feel free to speak. Although I have been studying for a long time without success, reciting the words' Amitabha Buddha 'still makes sense
Master: "The benefactor already has a chance of winning, and I believe he should also calculate the situation after winning. It will inevitably attract condemnation and criticism from knowledgeable people. How can the way to salvation be to kill the rich and help the poor
Han Chufeng: "What is the way to salvation
Master: "When a wise person scolds you for being worse than a robber, the person who scolds you is the one who diagnoses, but not the one who diagnoses, which is equivalent to diagnosing a terminal illness. It is not the work of a benevolent person and cannot bear the greater stigma. Therefore, the blame must be punished
Ding Yuanying: "The younger generation believes that the knot in traditional beliefs lies in the word 'rely on'. They rely on their parents at home, friends when they go out, God, Bodhisattvas, and imperial grace... In any case, they can rely on anything, just don't rely on themselves. This is a cultural attribute issue that has been accumulated for thousands of years, and enlightenment cannot be achieved through a few new cultural movements. The younger generation has no intention of commenting on Taoism, only following the flow of events and shouting twice with the voice of heroes and heroes, at least not violating the principles of heaven and the court
Master: "With the guidance of the benefactor, how can we seek peace of mind by making our hearts our own
Ding Yuanying said, "A Buddha without repentance is truly a Buddha. As an ordinary person, I am just a verbal effort to learn a few more words, and there is no limit to it. I know people will scold me, but I thought Buddha wouldn't scold me. It's not true that I won't be scolded. Why is a master a master? I think he is a enlightened person who speaks for Buddha
Master: "I am a student of Buddhism, and I cannot speak for Buddha. I am not a master either. The path to salvation has always had its own way of speaking among benevolent and ambitious people, and there is a hundred schools of thought vying for it. I cannot afford the word 'demand' from you, and only observe truthfully based on the principles of cultivation. Therefore, I offer you four words: great love or not
Ding Yuanying: "Master Xie
Master: "There is and there is no way to save the weak. A society without competition lacks vitality, and competition will inevitably lead to wealth and hierarchy. This is the way of heaven and the inevitable cost of social progress. Without weakness, where is strength? With the word 'strong', weakness is already within it. Therefore, the Buddha overcomes the suffering of the heart and cultivates a calm mind
Han Chufeng said, "Buddhism advocates for both profit and equality. The master openly stated that rank is the way of heaven and the price, regardless of social status. This has greatly impressed the younger generation. They are thinking that if the strong can kill and plunder openly and legally, then how much room is left for weakness under non-public and illegal conditions? Although the Buddha is compassionate in his heart, people still have a material side
Master: "You don't need to be polite, please speak
Han Chufeng said, "If mainstream culture can establish a link between the social needs of disadvantaged groups who expect to obtain higher life values through breaking the rules and those of dominant groups who expect higher life values, it may be more positive. It is not enough for dominant groups to only apply general competition rules. Mainstream culture should put forward higher requirements for dominant morality, build a dominant cultural system, and endow dominant groups with higher life values. Of course, this is first and foremost based on inequality as a prerequisite
Master: "Profit and equality are equal, but inequality is already within it
Han Chufeng: "Mainstream culture should be the culture that promotes social progress and improves social relations. If human behavior is primarily driven by political or religious needs, then this value is undoubtedly also primarily political or religious. When society locks all moral values in political and religious culture, personal morality has no value space, which is not conducive to encouraging strong attention to the weak, nor is it conducive to the transformation of the overall moral quality of society from quantitative to qualitative change
Master: "The views of the benefactor are not contradictory to those of Buddhism. The difference is that the benefactor believes that mainstream culture should give the strong individuals a certain moral value space. I believe that no matter which family's credit is attributed to merit, good weather and peace of the country and people will be the blessings of all sentient beings
Han Chufeng said, "However, hierarchy has always been a forbidden zone in our society and culture. Therefore, everyone carefully avoids the forbidden zone for fear that things like equality and dignity will be harmed
Master: "Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are the three major systems of traditional Chinese culture. With this blow from the benefactor, not a single one has been spared, hahaha
Ding Yuanying said, "I dare not, dare not. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all profound schools of thought that have supported the Chinese nation's thousands of years of civilization and are great civilizations. However, society is developing, and traditional culture is ultimately a culture that is based on the vast imperial grace as a prerequisite. It talks about the principles of emptiness, inaction, and moderation, and seeks survival by suppressing individuality. Today's society has developed into a market economy of democracy and the rule of law, and various schools of thought are also facing a question of truthfully observing and advancing together. Is it tradition or inheritance? Unity leads to death, while inheritance leads to prosperity
Master: "It's not good that you haven't spoken freely yet. The sea is vast, and even if you are a drop in the ocean, my Buddha is willing to merge it. Today, we have a chance to meet, so I would like to ask you to be open and honest, in order to facilitate the practice of Buddhist philosophy
Ding Yuanying: "The younger generation admires the dialectical thinking of the truth and truth of Buddhism, which is incredible. However, they believe that Buddhism includes Buddhism, which is different from Buddhism. Buddhism uses Buddhism to prove one thing, and then prove the truth, ultimately finding a reason for the heart not to suffer, becoming a Buddha, unlimited life, and ultimate happiness. Buddhism uses the false degree of truth as a convenient way to stay in the state of blessings, life, and fruit, which is the Tai Chi self obsession in the name of non attachment and non self. This has led to the weak cultural characteristics of superstition, destiny, and greed in Buddhism, which has already obscured Buddhism. Younger generations believe that if Buddhism can break through its own illusions and obstacles according to the teachings of Buddhism, without being bound by personal liberation, and use the incredible truth of productivity and civilization as the basis of Buddhism, then Buddhism of Buddhism will depart from religion and become a Mahayana Dharma that awakens sentient beings. It will be wise in guiding principles and benefiting people's livelihoods, and be known as the universal salvation of all sentient beings
Master: "The one who gains wisdom gains wisdom, the one who seeks enlightenment seeks enlightenment, the one who burns incense seeks enlightenment seeks enlightenment, and the one who practices meditation seeks enlightenment seeks enlightenment
Ding Yuanying said, "Everyone does their best, everyone takes what they need
Master (writing): "Only by comprehending the Tao can one know the mandate of heaven. In practice, one must follow the true scriptures. The extinction and decline of one's life are all predetermined by fate
Master: "This' heaven 'is not that' heaven ', nor is it a heaven where all sentient beings are ignorant, nor is it a destiny for all sentient beings to be ignorant. This is the Dao heaven, where cause and effect are not illusory, so the word' only to know 'is changed. Although there is no belief without a certificate, there is no consciousness without a certificate, which is already progress. The scripture that can make the confused progress is the true scripture, and the true scripture must be taken. If there is no distinction between sadness and joy, they will come when they come, and go when they go, all are destined by cause and effect, following the heart, force, and fate
Han Chufeng said, "Exquisite! The realm of nine characters is proven without a certificate
Ding Yuanying: "Master Xie gave a lecture
Master: "The bond between the humble monk and the benefactor has been fulfilled today. I hope you can correct any inaccuracies in the nine characters' humble monk '. I won't change the character' humble monk 'and will leave half of the bond to be continued. If the benefactor wants to change the character' humble monk 'on a certain day in a certain year, if you can't give up, you can bring the modified character' humble monk 'back to fulfill the half of the bond
Thank you for not giving up, Master. I will definitely
Master: "The three energies are centered on the donor's body
Han Chufeng: "Which three qi
Master: "Three parts calm, three parts noble, and three parts murderous
Han Chufeng: "Ten points, what else is there
Master: "There is also qi that stays in the body and wanders outside the heart - hooligan qi
Han Chufeng: "Absolutely
Han Chufeng: "Can I smoke on Buddhist grounds
Ding Yuanying said, "The railing is clean, and there is soil outside. You can pull it by leaning against the railing
Han Chufeng: "There was something I didn't dare to say just now, for fear of being praised, but I didn't hesitate to speak up. Now I can say it. If we divide poverty alleviation into three levels:
1、 The myth of pies falling from the sky, affordable and unconventional, is a part of common culture.
2、 The most unethical morality, distinguishing right from wrong, is the culture of philosophers.
3、 Not breaking something is not enough for the theme of origin. Great wisdom and love are the culture of heroes
Ding Yuanying said, "I dare not be, I dare not be
Ding Yuanying: "Why did we start writing? Don't be in a daze and think you're also a master
Han Chufeng: "Inertia, inertia, it can't be retracted all at once
Han Chufeng: "If you don't come this time, it's a great pity in life. But we both have the suspicion of slandering Buddha, and we're not afraid of going to hell
Ding Yuanying said, "Without hell, where is heaven? Someone has to stay in hell. Let's just be one, otherwise heaven won't come down
Han Chufeng said, "One move to kill the rich and help the poor leads to a discussion on the way to salvation. It's you who is being scolded, but it hurts traditional beliefs. How did you reach such a high level after not seeing you for over a year
Ding Yuanying: "Where is the realm? I haven't had the impulse to provoke that kind of criticism just to make public opinion splash a few drops of water. When the discussion of 'the way to salvation' comes to light, it will be the gift I want to give to Xiao Dan
Han Chufeng: "Oh my goodness! Do you know how many people and how much commotion this matter will cause? So it's just... a gift for a woman
Ding Yuanying said, "The way of the world is discussed to the extreme, the basic necessities of the people are like firewood, rice, oil, and salt. The warmth and coldness of life are discussed to the extreme, and the word 'emotion' for both men and women. I dare not offend either of these extremes, can't I
Han Chufeng: "Sure, of course. It's just that you've always kept a distance from women, and this bend is too big
Ding Yuanying said, "The Buddha said that seeing mountains is like mountains, and seeing water is like water. I just observed it truthfully according to the Buddha's teachings. Seeing a modern girl is a modern girl, and seeing a confidante is a confidante
Han Chufeng: "There used to be a saying of a thousand golden smiles, but now that you look at it, what does that mean
