Continuation of Jin Ping Mei (I)

Qing Ziyang Taoist Ding Yaokang

The first time of the Guang Ren Pin, Master Pu Jie’s transcendence of calamities to eliminate wronged souls and all sinful ghosts to reincarnate to repay their debts.

The Avatamsaka Sutra.

The vast eyes of the Buddha are as pure as the void. All sentient beings are manifested, and everything is clearly understood. The Buddha’s body shines brightly in the ten directions.

Everywhere he goes, he travels universally to see this path. The Buddha’s body is like emptiness, no gain, no caries. No gain, no selfhood, seen by auspicious winds.

The Buddha has spoken extensively about the Buddha’s path for immeasurable periods of time. Extinguishing the obstacles of sentient beings, the light of realization of this door is realized. All sentient beings flow through the sea of death and birth.

The Buddha releases the light of the past, which can be seen by the unimpeded gods. The purity and virtue of the Buddha can be a blessing to the world. With the wisdom of enlightenment, God’s power is realized here.

Sentient beings are covered by dementia and flow in dangerous paths. The Buddha releases the light, and the God who is free from dirt can illuminate.

Also said: “Ten worlds, all the Buddhas, know all beings, pleasure desire is different, according to their response, the statement to adjust the service.”

Lu Zhen Zhen’s “Gift to Mr. Liu”.

The six countries are worried about the sinking and floating, and I carry my qin and whistle out of God’s country. I would like to cook white stone in the smoke, and occasionally I came to the city to see Danqiu.

In the past few years, I’ve been picking up Huangyan Cui, and I’ve seen the Kishu trees in different parts of the world. Dew floats fragrant Long jade seedling nourishment, the moon on the blue peaks Dan crane.

Spring is deep in the cave of heaven, and the immortal road is not recognized by the people. The short scene of the floating world becomes empty, and the stone fire and electric light will pass away.

The quality of a woman in her prime was once not solid, and her flowery face was still on the top. The spring and fall of the year are wasted, and the present and the past are hard to be exhausted.

How can I know the Tao of Xuanxuan, which is as heavy as a treasure in my body? But if I can control the water and China, the water and fire will be turned into a golden elixir.

Xuanzhou intestinal valley is my home, the stone breaks the sky body does not age. I have heard of the war and its collapse, and I have seen Yeonhwa become withered.

Tang’s old country is deserted, the Han Dynasty mausoleums blank grass. The floating world is really sad enough, and the life of the molded flower is not delayed.

It is not a blessing to have a house overflowing with beads, but to have a box full of silk is a futile endeavor! The aspiring man is not as important as he used to be; the mediocre man drowns himself in lust and sorrows.

The world is listening to me, and the flow of light is as swift as flying fire. The six thieves and three corpses are your scourge.

Eight Qiong secret you must know, do not wait for the lead empty car and broken. If you want to open the gate at hand, please unlock the golden lock!

This word is to speak of Buddha, of Tao, of science, starting with cause and effect, which is unsupported, and from The Golden Lotus

I would like to say a few words about it. Single table of this “Golden Lotus Plum” a novel, the original is for the world to say, draw that greedy for color and wealth, indulgence and loss of life, declared obscene present reward of a picture of the line of fun. Said that this life is ingenious, only for the greed for money and sex, fierce heart, on the poisonous killers, so as to marry his wife, secretly get his family’s private property, so not harmful, starting a family with nothing, rely on wealth and power, to get the official son, food is a precious shame, wearing a brocade, the doorkeeper to meet the concubines, singing and dancing, to climb the high to meet the rich, to make friends with the powerful door, the garden and the mansion, the most of the moment of prosperity. But a dream of spring, turned into a blaze of fire, can not help but promote life and death, suffered all the wheel mouth of the past. The wife and concubines of the obscene people, still concubines obscene people; rich and prosperous, really wind lamps and stone fires. When I think about it, I can’t take the gold, silver, wealth, concubines and houses with me. If Simon Qing to do a field house – – peaceful people, enjoy a few acres of good land, keep an old wife, with the points of the day, live to the end of the old and sick, save how much effort, enjoy how much peace and happiness! Only because of the delusion of all beings, the world, born a little color body, that is, flies see blood, ants by , see the word of wealth and sex, desperately dead body, living Buddha also advised not to turn back. Still born in this door, die in this house, no one good man jump out of the net of Yanluo, but this Simon Qing like to worship as a master in general. See, “jade Xuan”, “grape shelf” a fold, to start the fire. Seeing the official birth, fireworks, flowers, dance, song and luxury, also disregard that marrow exhaustion kidney crack, oil lamp withered disease, but said it is timely to have fun, the widow crying new tomb, spring plum tour of the old museum of a cold and cool scene as usual. I can’t get back to the lustful color and the wild heart of indulgence. This book has become a book of words to guide lust and propagate prostitution. Teenage literati, every family to buy a, and pass the boudoir, read to the obscene voice evil language, help to rise to the occasion, only hate that the monk drug does not get hold of, do the same. A piece of hard work to do this book into a prison of pulling out the tongue, is really a crime!

I’m speaking to all living beings about the karmic rebirth of the Buddha’s scriptures, and I’m following the Book of Exhortation issued by the current Emperor.

The Induction Chapter, are to prevent people from being evil, persuade people to be good, with this “Golden Lotus Plum” to speak out of the netherworld retribution, reincarnation of the present world. Immediately after the hundred compilation, so that the people who read the book know that there is a king’s law, Yin have ghosts and gods, this Simon Dagong people are not good to learn, kill a life to a life, lust a color to a color, cheating a debt to a stain. Not much use, suffering and remorse, a few lifetimes of the days of injustice can not be avenged. And a milli said some of the yin and yang rule and chaos, are all beings to create a great robbery, loyal and righteous people, wealth and color is not obsessed with the good people, God Cao descending blessings, so that people learn. Wish to attract people to offer their conscience, the obscene gallantry and greed a cold, so that he is like a snow puppet furnace, do not point to self-chemical. Is it not to speak of Taoism wit, say Buddhism drink stick, speak of the Induction Chapter

What are the notes of the book? Today, the book to do the general idea of the Court, and speak of the main story.

In the words of the “Plum in the Golden Vase” one hundred end, said Simon Qing died, gave birth to filial piety brother, and Wu Yue Niang days, the family business carving zero, the group of concubines scattered, Jinlian, Chunmei are due to the good sex, shall not be its death. The previous legend is not mentioned. Later, Song Qinzong Jingkang thirteen years, encountered the Jin soldiers into the Central Plains, the Pei Jing surrounded, captured the gold and silver children countless, said the peace treaty to go north, do not need a year, the dumping of the country to come again. At that time, Shandong, Hebei place are all the soldiers, the Zhou guards killed, Jinan House broken. Qinghe County place to Linqing not far away, affluent and prosperous, tomatoes, thieves, that Wu Yuniang holding four-year-old filial brother, family members scattered, to the Yongfu Temple, originally Simon Qing gave fifty two alms, the monk recognized the moon mother, temporarily hiding. The monk has some family money, do not dare to live for a long time, and then also hid in the far mountains and broken temple to go.

Only an old monk traveling, more than 80 years old, called Pu Jing, born long eyebrows and thin bones, hunchback bow waist, left in the abbot, taking care of the temple in the house ware. Those who take refuge in the women gradually more and more, can not hide. That outside the temple to and from the soldiers and horses, more than three or five thousand a day! Fortunately, each went to attack the city, not into the temple to search, but also to hide for more than ten days. Saw the Jin soldiers robbed the place around the east of the study, withdrawing the mouth of Peiliang Dazhai, besieging the capital went. Really kill the people’s corpses in the sea of blood, down the street lying in the alley, countless. The law of the army: kill more people, captive not exhaustive, will be the dead stacked in a place, such as the mountains, called “Jing Guan”, boasted that he used the army with the courage of the enemy country. This gold soldiers do not know killed hundreds of thousands of people, built more than ten Jing Guan and go.

But we saw: corpses drenched in blood, ghosts crying out to the gods. The clouds were so dark that the stars, the sun and the moon could not be seen; the wind was so miserable that the yellow sands uncovered the ground, and it was impossible to distinguish between the north, south, east and west! The red sleeve of the beautiful woman, all return to the Hu horse holding the lute; the king in his own clothes line, sneaking to the empty mountain scurrying thorns. When they were searching for their sons and masters, they turned around and broke their hearts; when they were dragging men and women, the stars and clouds flew away in the blink of an eye. In the middle of the night, the green scales of the fire go, headless ghosts find their own skeletons, the black dog eats people in the daytime, and the big-mouthed crows fight for the intestines and lungs. The wild villages were full of weeds, but the cries of ghosts could be heard; the empty cities had no birds and birds, and no smoke could be seen. There are few people walking at the intersection of the three churches, and there are elders in the ten courtyards.

But that Pu Jing elders, in the temple is not Buddha, not chanting, not fasting, daily in the Zen bed cross-legged sitting meditation, closed day into the fixed, leisurely, all day long, I do not know what the mouth read, not out of a sound, like sitting in the general, more than one day. The woman who fled the disaster and Wu Yuniang, are hidden in the daytime under the Buddha’s cabinet, the night in the incense kitchen to get some leftover rice, incense on the front of the Buddha to light a fire, do some gruel to eat, the day before dawn still hiding in the darkness again. Later, the Jin soldiers over the end, gradually people walking, those women went home, there are looking for children, there are also looking for husbands beside the dead body, all went to the end of the question. The remaining Yue Niang led Xiao Yu and held Xiao Xiao, not daring to go back to the city, hoping to meet acquaintances to ask for information about the city before they dared to go back.

That day is the night of the 15th of July, for the three Yuan Di Guan relief of the hour, the moon lady Buddha incense worship, and Xiaoyu hidden in the east corridor at the end of a Galaxy Hall seat, laying some hay, and clothes and sleep. Exactly three hours, only to see the moonlight, the Buddha lamp hidden, far away from hearing a sound like a horse and men to drink, come closer and closer. Frightened Yue Niang busy push Xiaoyu, just do not wake up. Yue Niang got up and crouched by the doorway to listen and watch, but there was no sign of anyone.

And listen to a while, only to see the big temple door ah open, there is a pair of lanterns advanced to, after two officials, are all block head soap clothes, leading a group of officials, there are more than a hundred people, swarmed into. And there is a mandarin scarf outside the officer, holding a large book, said loudly: “here on the roll call, leading these people to go to the mouth of the decree to go!” Before the end of the sentence, there was a large table, two chairs placed under the eaves of the main hall, the two officers sat towards the south. All of a sudden, the moon color is cloudy, full of black gas in the temple, the moonlight and starlight cover up. Just see the temple door inside and outside the sound of thousands of people walking, like the trial of households to put relief in general, a big card, leading many people to come in, all of them are cloaked hair, headless, face injuries and arm folding, naked ghosts, but also women, but also men, but also old men, children, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, full of the temple in the station can not be. I don’t know what the hall said by name, there is a white flag to lead the way, so more than a hundred or so. Yue Niang was so shocked that she didn’t dare to make a sound.

I saw the two officers get up and run outside, there are a group of gold armor generals embracing a god in the carriage, bow and iron locks, before and after the surrounding, but the coronation of Dragon Dragon’s uniform, sitting towards the south. Two officers kneeled down to present the book, the god did not say anything, there is a white-bearded old officer will be book. A burst of fragrance from the temple floated out, vaguely heard the sound of the air sheng pipe.

That God on the carriage, but also not by the temple door, in front of the temple Ran and rose, all the ghosts and gods are gone, still the temple door is closed, silent. Frightened moon mother chanting Buddha, and do not dare to call Xiaoyu, can only crouch in the temple doorway side of the nap.

And only heard the ghosts cry in the field look at the cut, and see a few crows in the temple ridge magpie tail on the call a while, laugh a while, flying a while, called the yin qi forced people to be very afraid. Vaguely heard the sound of wooden fish, but not in the abbot, one seems to parade around the outside of the temple in general.

Not much time, only to hear the sound of wooden fish approaching the temple, bluffing the moon mother lying up, open eyes in the doorway to take a closer look. -Yeah!

The original is Pu Jing Zen Master, head wearing Kun Lu Di Zang Buddha crown, wearing a hundred complementary precepts robe, the left hand holding a nine-ringed tin staff, the right hand flicked Yang Zhi Dashui, the two children introduced to the temple. Wooden fish do not sound, only to see the main hall open, the Zen master fell on his knees and sat down, bellowed: “Duh! If you ask the cause of this world, the author of the past life is, if you ask the cause of the next life, the author of this life is.” Then he said, “The Avatamsaka Sutra” said.

All sentient beings are foolish and have all sorts of views, and their troubles are like streams and fires. The guru’s convenience eliminates all of them, and he collects all the light in this vision.

All views and foolishness are a blindfold, and all beings are always in a state of confusion. The Buddha opens and expounds the wonderful Dharma door, and the light shines through to the gods and goddesses of the world. In order to make the Buddha’s seed constant in the sea of all kalpas. In order to make all the worlds of the ocean show the true nature of all dharmas, the Buddha has opened the wonderful Dharma door. To make all sentient beings desire, to break down all mountains of obstacles. The mind on all countries is separate, and all kinds of light appear. By the inconceivable sea of karma, all flowing dharmas are always like this.

Watchers listen to speak, the original human body has three souls and seven vampires, in the life of the three corpses and seven feelings, scattered as delusional wandering souls, Pingkong work. Until the spirit of death, the three souls are three ghosts, one in the netherworld suffering, one in the world of life, there is a ghost of the corpse in the graveyard to catch the pulp water, cyclone, can not be separated from the very entangled, the nature of not change. Therefore, practitioners in the birth of the soul and spirit of unity, can become immortal and become a Buddha, to the end of the life of the Yang, the soul and spirit of emptiness, natural ghosts do not born, that there is reincarnation? Today, Zen Master Pu Jing is the incarnation of Earth Store Bodhisattva, knowing that all beings have been robbed, come here to transcend. Those who die in the difficulty, are created in the netherworld, the sun and the moon are not different, the death method is different, both the netherworld God to lead to the question. The souls of those who have died before have not been dispersed, and when the old ghosts see this Buddha’s teachings, will they not come to seek transcendence?

When Zen Master Pu Jing had finished speaking, he picked up the nectar from the willow branch and put it on the hungry ghosts’ alms bowl. At one time, those big ghosts, small ghosts, evil ghosts, good ghosts, poor ghosts, rich ghosts, expensive ghosts, lowly ghosts, literary ghosts, vulgar ghosts, lecherous ghosts, chaste ghosts, good dead ghosts, horizontal dead ghosts, or rope wrapped around the neck, or the knife hangs the head, or a hundred diseases save the body, vomit and mute, or a spirit is not scattered, Îssui terrified, are all come to a little light, eliminate that ignorance of the sins of the past. There were also those who begged to be reborn and those who begged to be absolved of their sins, and their cries varied. Among them, there is a ghost, head wearing a long yoke, wrapped around the waist iron rope, claiming to be Simon Qing, in the netherworld by the wrongdoer not yet finished, would like to ask for transcendence. There is a ghost brow curved double moon, neck lock long rope, sickly sickly thin, delicate and compassionate, claiming to be Li Huier, by the husband of the crime is not yet finished, and would like to ask for transcendence. Another ghost, with hair covering her face and blood flowing from her chest, claimed to be Pan Jinlian, who had been killed by someone and whose husband had not yet finished the accusation, and wished to pray for the supernatural. Another ghost, thick makeup, naked, naked, delicate voice, eyebrows knitted chi, claiming to be Chunmei sister, trapped in greed and loss of yin and died, long time not to be born, I would like to pray for transcendence. Outside the unnamed ghosts, pleading a lot.

The Zen master released the Buddha’s light, just like a bright moon covering the body of the Dharma in general, how can the ghosts get close! Only to see the Zen master shouted: “Good! Good! You all beings are in the ignorance of the creation of the great robberies, so that the color of the body is destroyed, each get the present evil karma. Now the karma is not returned, even if there is the Buddha, from where to solve, today a drop of manna to save a moment of hunger and thirst, such as to be born, there is a Yin are determined case, although the Buddha is compassionate, can only point out to understand, teach repentance, the next life to do good, can not eliminate the sins of this life.” The ghosts and begged not to go, that the master will be the tin staff to the north of the ghostly underground, suddenly scratching the ground, the ground cracked open a golden light, jumped out of the ox head and horse face two ghosts, hideous and vicious, around the service. Ancestor that is to pass the law, call the Judge of reincarnation to listen to the order.

Two ghosts go not move time, there is a black face red beard person, holding a big book to present the ancestor to see, that is, called the ghosts of the day: “Simon Qing obscene killings serious crimes, the three generations of revenge, because of your righteousness and charity, not lose the human body, this time to the rich Shen Tong home in Tokyo, to be born to pay back. Li Jing’er stole her husband’s money and killed him. Because of your good deeds, you will not lose your female body, and now you will go to the house of Yuan Commander in Tokyo to be reborn. Pan Jinlian poisoned her husband’s life, nature adultery, if the reincarnation, the body of insects and snakes, only because her husband’s life has not been paid, but still a female body, commanders in Shandong Lai to be born to pay back. Chunmei Pang’s although no major crime, articulated color prostitution, to Chen economic greed for sex to kill the body, jealous of Sun Xue’e sold prostitution hanged himself, indulge in desire to die, not enough to repay the evil, in Tokyo, hole thousand households for the female payback.” Grandmaster issued has been completed, still put the tin stick a bump, that a judgment two ghosts suddenly into the ground without a trace, the chicken screamed, only to see all the ghosts howling Tao cried and went.

At that time there were four weather, all the music is silent, a round of bright moon is shining in the middle of the sky, Pu Jing still closed his eyes into the meditation to go. Yue Niang saw clearly, covered in cold sweat. Xiaoguo woke up, busy calling Xiaoyu up, only to be told, only to see Xiaoyu said that what he saw in the dream and the moon lady general, really strange!

Sitting to dawn, there have been those who fled the people to find his wife in the temple, it happens to be Damian because of the thieves drive scattered, hiding in the Wang Zhaoxuan family ice cellar for a few days, do not dare to come out. Because the soldiers retreated, everywhere looking for no one, listening to the Guangfu Temple to hide a lot of women, with the crowd all the way to find, met his wife Xiaoyu and the moon mother and son, we are happy not Jing but to the abbot after the resignation thank you, Pu Jing elders have long since the nose hangs king, face convergence of the golden face, screaming should not be, sat down and went away. This is also the moon mother usually good faith in Buddhism, life is not jealous of the reward of prostitution, should have some good karma, met the living Buddha to save. When the people saw this, they made a lot of furniture and recited the Buddha’s name. They said that the elders were ancient Buddhas who had come here to help the refugees. Yue Niang and will tell the night once again, the crowd was shocked, each with the heart to give some wood, playing a niche, burned in the back of the temple not to mention. I do not know how the result of the moon later, Simon Qing how the ghosts of retribution. It is: sewage pond, all over the foraging out a few green lotus, bitter coast head, first planted a willow. Let’s listen to the next decomposition.
