Supreme Lord

“Beyond the self…”

Gu Qingfeng whispered these four words, pondered for a moment, and then asked: “How to be free from the self.”

The old monk did not answer the rhetorical question. Said: “Does the ancient layman really want to detach himself?”

“Of course.”

“Lao Na asks again, does the ancient layman really want to detach himself?”

“Of course.”

“Does the ancient layman really want to detach himself?”

“Of course.”

The old monk asked Gu Qingfeng three times in a row Do you really want to detach yourself? Of course, Gu Qingfeng’s answer is without the slightest hesitation every time.

“no! Lao Na feels that the ancient layman does not want to detach himself.”

“That’s just your feelings, I feel I want to detach myself.”

this The old monk time did not speak any more. After silence, Gu Qingfeng said again: “You don’t care what I think or don’t want, but I want to ask you how to detach yourself?”

“Want to detach yourself, First of all, you must recognize yourself.”

“How do I recognize myself?”

The old monk asked again: “Does the ancient layman really want to recognize myself?”

“Of course.”

“Does the ancient layman really want to recognize himself?”

“Of course.”

The old monk asked Gu three more times. Does Qingfeng want to recognize himself, but Gu Qingfeng still answered three times of course.

“no! The ancient layman not only did not want to detach himself, but also did not want to recognize himself.”

“You are not me, how can you know what I think.”

“Lao Na can feel it.”

“Really…” Gu Qingfeng said with a smile: “That’s just your feeling, but unfortunately, you are not me.”

“Ancient layman.” The voice of the old monk came, and it still came across the ancient, ancient, and ancient times like the bell of Great Desolate, saying: “Who am I?”

” What are you?” Gu Qingfeng was confused and replied: “Aren’t you an old monk?”

The old monk asked again: “I! Who are you!”

“Nonsense! You are you!”

The old monk asked for the third time: “I! Who!”

“You didn’t tell me who you are.” Gu Qingfeng said: “How do I know who you are!”

The old monk asked again: “The ancient layman, do you know who you are?”

“Of course I know.”

“Who are you?”

“I am me! I am Gu Qingfeng.”

“no! What Lao Na asked is not a name, a name is just a code That’s it, you can call Gu Qingfeng, Lao Na can also be called Gu Qingfeng, anyone can call Gu Qingfeng.”

“Then you ask who I am, not my name, but what is it?”

“Lao Na asked, except for the code name of the name, who are you?”

Without the name, who are you?

This question is really difficult to answer.

At least, Gu Qingfeng at this moment does not know how to answer this question.

“Lao Na asks the ancient layman another question, who am I!”

“You have asked this question just now.”

“no! Gu Lay, Lao Na just asked about the id, now he is asking about the ego.”

Gu Qingfeng had a headache and asked: “What is the difference between the id and the ego?”

“When Lao Na used my code name to communicate with the ancient layman, the ancient layman’s code name was also me. What does this mean? Does this mean that you are me, and I am you…”

Gu Qingfeng was a little confused.

And the old monk continued: “Where did I come from and where I died? Why do I appear in this Heaven and Earth? What does my appearance mean to this world? It is Heaven and Earth. Earth chose me, or did I choose Heaven and Earth?”

Gu Qingfeng became more confused as he listened.

Yes.

The old monk was still talking, and his words became more and more profound. He said: “Is there an inevitable connection between the Universe Great Desolate and Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow? Is Heaven and Earth? There is an end? Is there a length of time? Where does the past time disappear? Where does the future time stop? Is the question I asked in this brief moment the same as that of the ancient layman?”

“In the end Who is me, you are me, or I am me, who am I!”

“Where do I come from?”

“Where am I going again?”

Gu Qingfeng only felt a splitting headache, and immediately shouted: “Stop! Stop! Stop it! I can’t take it anymore.”

“Hey…”

The old monk sighed then said, saying: “The ancient layman is not unbearable, and the ancient layman is not incapable of detaching himself, let alone being unable to recognize himself, but from the very beginning, the ancient layman did not want to detach himself. I don’t want to recognize myself.”

This time Gu Qingfeng did not refute.

“The ancient layman has slept for thousands of years. After waking up, he has already realized that he is confused. The ancient layman’s confusion has nothing to do with original sin or cause and effect. It is related to the ancient layman himself. The ancient layman is very clear in his heart, as long as If you detach yourself, you will be able to understand clearly.”

“Unfortunately, the ancient layman did not want to detach himself. The ancient layman couldn’t let go, and couldn’t let go of the “self” in his heart. To be precise, what the ancient layman couldn’t let go was and’ Self-related memories.”

Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and looked very sad.

After a long time, he asked: “If I abandon myself, after detachment, am I still me?”

The old monk not at all answered this question.

“After detachment, I may still be me, but I am not the me before.”

The old monk sighed again and said: “In the final analysis, the ancient layman still does not want to let go The self in my heart.”

“Although I don’t want to, I have to admit that what you said is the truth. I really don’t want to let go of the self in my heart.”

“Ancient layman, can Lao Na I ask, why can’t I let it go?”

“Because I just want to be myself. Although it’s a bumpy journey, there are painful and beautiful memories, but whether it’s painful or beautiful All of my memories belong to me and my own.”

The old monk said: “Even if you are detached from yourself, this memory is still the memory of the ancient layman, and no one can take it away.”

p>

“You are right, no one can take it away, but the memory of the past has become a memory.”

“Is there a difference between memory and memory?”

p>

“Yes, the memory is what I have experienced now, and the memory is what I have experienced before. The memory of my experience is still throbbing when I think of it. The memory of the experience I have experienced before, but looking back, only It will fade away like just a passing scene until it is forgotten.”

“Lao Na doesn’t understand.”

“If you don’t understand, it’s right. I am a human and you are a Buddha. How can you understand.”

The old monk said: “Buddha is also human.”

Gu Qingfeng retorted: “But man is not a Buddha.”

“Is there a difference between a Buddha and a human being?”

“Of course, you are the Buddha of the four voids, and I am from Seven Emotions and Six Desires!”

“The Buddha of the four voids , Seven Emotions and Six Desires!”

The old monk whispered: “so that’s how it is ……so that’s how it is ……”

“My Master once taught In a word of mine, I will abide by my nature and never forget my original intention. This is the nature of human beings and my nature.”

“So, the ancient layman will neither become a Buddha nor a holy in this life. , Right?”

“Of course.”

“Even if you detach yourself, the ancient lay people will still be human.”

“After detaching yourself, I still don’t know if I’m not a human being, but I’m sure that after surpassing myself, I won’t be a layman.” Gu Qingfeng haha ​​laughed and said, “Old monk, are you stupid to forget? I said…I I am a layman. I used to be, now is, and will be in the future. I like to be a layman of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.”
