Chapter 8 Chapter Seven Returning

October in Beijing has turned cold, but when it is cold, there is a sudden feeling of warmth, which is the common saying of warm snow.Wen Xue is about to snow. Liang Qichao tossed and turned in bed in the middle of the night, unable to sleep.He simply lit a candle and read a book.The book is a booklet about Beijing's historic sites, called "The Study of Beijing's Monuments". The author was ordered by Emperor Qianlong to investigate Beijing's historic sites and wrote this book.The book says that the inner city of Beijing originally had eleven gates, but it was later changed to nine gates.Liang Qichao thought to himself, generally speaking, the nine admirals are the generals in charge of security in Beijing. If Beijing hadn't become smaller, shouldn't the nine admirals be called eleven admirals?Nine gates is fine, at least he, a Cantonese, will be more convenient to remember.Then he counted with his fingers while carrying the gate of Beijing behind his back.The city gate of Beijing is generally said to be the inner nine outer seven imperial city four.Some city gates can be seen from the cars entering and leaving.Lijiu is the nine gates of the inner city, and Zhengyang Gate is in the middle of the south wall.It was the imperial sedan and palace car.To the east of Zhengyangmen is Chongwenmen, where you can walk in a wine cart, and most of the cookers are in the southeast of Beijing, just walk in like this.In the middle of the eastern city wall is Chaoyang Gate, where grain carts are used. The grain from the south is transported to Tongzhou by the North Canal, and then enters Chaoyang Gate via the avenue from Tongzhou. Therefore, there are the most warehouses near Chaoyang Gate, such as Lumi Cang, Nanmen Cang, and North Canal. Mencang, Xintaicang, etc. are all.To the north of Chaoyangmen is Dongzhimen, where lumber carts go, and there are many large lumber factories nearby.On the north wall close to Dongzhimen is Andingmen, where dung carts are used. There are many dung farms on the nearby Ditan, where the dung is dried and sold to farmers as fertilizer.To the west of Andingmen is Deshengmen, where soldiers and chariots walk. The word Desheng means auspiciousness, and of course defeats are not uncommon.On the west side of the city wall close to Deshengmen is Xizhimen, which is driven by water carts. The water from Yuquan Mountain is loaded on mule carts and transported to the imperial palace.To the south of Xizhimen, that is, the gate in the middle of the west wall of Beijing, is the Fucheng Gate, where coal carts pass, and there are coal mines such as Mentougou and Sanjiadian nearby.Turn around again, turn to the south wall, to the west of Zhengyang Gate, is Xuanwu Gate, and the prison carts are walking.Outside Xuanwu Gate is Caishikou, a well-known execution ground. All condemned prisoners parade from the inner city through Xuanwumen to the outer city, and then execute their sentences at Caishikou.When Liang Qichao counted here, he thought that the area outside Xuanwu Gate, southwest of Beijing, was the area most familiar to the Cantonese.In this area, there is their guild hall on Nanheng Street, which is the base camp of the Cantonese fellows who went to Beijing.For Liang Qichao himself, he went to the Nanhai Guild Hall in Mishi Hutong more often.Because Nanhai Guild Hall is the residence of teacher Kang Youwei.He has been living there with his teacher.After the establishment of the Strong Society, he moved to Housun Park to take care of the affairs of the meeting.

Liang Qichao stayed behind to strengthen the society because Kang Youwei went south.That was 1895.In Beijing this year, Kang Youwei failed in his letter to the emperor; he failed in running a newspaper;On the eve of Kang Youwei's departure from Beijing, rumors that the meeting was banned grew stronger and stronger.This group was the embryonic form of a political party and a disguised form of a school. Because the atmosphere was too conservative at the time, we had to use this nondescript group to make the transition.However, no matter how the transition is made, conservative forces still want to eradicate it.After Kang Youwei went south, the infantry commander Yamen in Beijing brought troops, and all books and equipment were confiscated.Some of Liang Qichao's personal clothes were also confiscated.Liang Qichao was kicked out.

Liang Qichao was only twenty-three years old at the time. One morning, he dragged his braids and feet, and walked outside Xuanwu Gate, Xizhuan Hutong, and Fayuan Temple in Beijing.It was winter in the Northland, and the clear sky was bleak.In front of the Tianwang Hall of Fayuan Temple, from the roof tiles to the three steps, and from the three steps to the front yard, is covered with a layer of snow.It looks cold and white, which makes people feel sober.He had heard his teacher praise Fayuan Temple for a long time, but after living in Beijing for so many days, he was so busy that he never came here.Two days ago, the Qiang Society was blocked, and he was kicked out. This time, he can be free.Wouldn't it be nice to take the opportunity to wander around the capital, there are too many places to see in Beijing, the first thing I think of is Fayuan Temple.

Liang Qichao stood in the snow, in front of the first old stele next to the steps of the main hall of Fayuan Temple.His attainments in calligraphy are not as good as his teacher's, but his research on Buddhism has a tendency to outshine others.So he looked at the ancient stele, not focusing on calligraphy, but focusing on Buddhism.He was originally a child prodigy. He read the Four Books at the age of four, finished the Five Classics at the age of six, learned composition at the age of eight, wrote a thousand words at the age of nine, was admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve, and was admitted to Juren at the age of seventeen. Four years after Juren, his teacher Kang Youwei was admitted to Juren at the age of 36.The next year was the year of Sino-Japanese War, he went to Beijing with his teacher to rush for the exam, and took the Jinshi exam, because at that time the teacher was already famous as a public official, and the examiner was afraid that he would pass the exam, which would be like adding wings to a tiger, so he tried his best to block him.During the examination process, old-fashioned people saw an excellent examination paper and concluded that it was Kang Youwei's work, so they deliberately refused to take it. As a result, on the day the list was released, Kang Youwei passed the examination, but Liang Qichao did not. It turned out that the excellent examination paper was written by Liang Qichao. !The conservatives made the wrong people.

Although he failed in the examination room, he followed his teacher to run state affairs and received attention and admiration from all walks of life, but he also achieved success at a young age.However, at the age of twenty-three, he is famous all over the world, but he has no arrogance.His ambition is to save the world, from Confucianism to Mohism, from Mohism to Buddhism.Try to build consistent beliefs for yourself.The belief in Buddhism is idealistic, but the temple itself is materialistic. The heart places things, and the things see the heart. Is there a need for temples?Liang Qichao stood in front of the stele, his thoughts kept on wondering between his mind and matter.Then he walked up the steps, walked into the Daxiong Palace, looked up at the plaque of Emperor Qianlong's Fahai True Source, his doubts deepened.The true source of Fahai should come from the invisible mind and see the nature, how can it come from the tangible temple?He shook his head, which was much larger than the average person, and muttered to himself, a little disapprovingly.

In the treasure hall, another young man noticed him.The young man was in his thirties, with a fortitude and piercing eyes.Seeing him shaking his head, he walked over. Judging by the appearance of your gentleman, he looks like a southerner.The young man spoke first Liang Qichao turned his head and body sideways, and nodded. You read that right.I am from Guangdong.But hearing you speak Hunan dialect, your husband also seems to be from the south. Yes, I am Liuyang, Hunan.you are from guangdong Xinhui.Liang Qichao added, hey, the Liuyang Guild Hall is nearby. Yes, it's in the northern half of the alley near here.I just arrived in Beijing from Shanghai yesterday, so I am not familiar with Beijing.Just live in our Liuyang Guild Hall.

Your husband just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and he came to the temple this morning. He must be a Buddhist, right? Yes and no.I am interested in the study of Buddhism, but I don't worship Buddha like devout men and women, and of course I never burn incense and kowtow. Me too, we are kindred spirits.I like to study Buddhism, and I also like to visit temples.However, I always feel that there are many conflicts between temples and the true meaning of Buddhism.Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty started to build Xianggong Temple. He said that it was a great merit for me to build this temple, but Yu Yuan told the truth. He said: Your Majesty built this temple because people sold their children to pay for their wives.If the Buddha knows, he should weep and mourn.What are the merits and virtues of the sinful Buddha picture?Temples like Xianggong Temple have existed throughout the ages. It is possible that the more temples are built, the bigger they are, and the more distant they are from the true Buddhist spirit.Of course, this Fayuan Temple is a bit of an exception. It was originally the Martyr's Shrine in the Tang Dynasty, and it didn't have the Buddhist atmosphere of the Daxiong Hall at the beginning.

Liang Qichao spoke Cantonese very slowly, and his accent was a bit strange, but his views were even more strange. In the Buddhist hall, he did not curse the Buddha, but he seemed to negate the meaning of the Buddhist hall at all.It made the Hunan people in front of them feel curious.Hunan people said: Your brother's opinion is very clever, and we are like-minded again.Strictly speaking, apart from the functions of art, architecture and a little practice, the tangible things like temples are very far away from the true Buddhist spirit, as you said.Since Buddhism entered China, it has evolved so strangely that it has fallen into a demonic barrier at the very beginning. Everyone failed to grasp the essence of Buddhism, but worked hard on the form. The way of Buddhism is invisible, but those who claim to be Buddhists, But it becomes more and more tangible all day long. The actions of building temples, chanting scriptures, meditating, doing pujas, and doing Buddhist ceremonies are actually far from the real Buddha's mind. The "Avatamsaka Sutra" has a devotion item, advocating that those who have become a Bodhisattva have to return to the world, from birth to entry, and sacrifice their lives for all living beings.This kind of self-sacrifice after devotion is the real Buddhism.However, when Buddhism was introduced to China, the Chinese only knew how to be born into the world but not how to enter into the world. They thought they had completed the whole journey after only halfway through.Their goal of life and liberation is Nirvana. They think that negativity, emptiness, extinction of the will to live, etc., are the goals of this line. They are all wrong.They don't know that the essence of Buddhism is only halfway here, and if you want to go halfway, you have to dedicate yourself to it.When it comes to sacrificing one's life after returning home, Buddhist figures have also done it, but it was just madness.In the late period of the Five Dynasties, Emperor Shizong of Zhou pointed out: Monks, nuns and ordinary people have sacrificed their lives, burned their arms, chained their fingers, nailed off their hands and feet, hung up lights with bells, destroyed their bodies in various ways, played with props, banned heresy, falsely claimed to be realized, reincarnated, sat down, and holy water. The magic of the holy lamp and the like are all gathering people to confuse the vulgar, and everything will be stopped from now on.It can be seen that this kind of sacrifice is just a trick, not really sacrifice for the people.At the end of the Five Dynasties, the whole country was in financial difficulties. Zhou Shizong ordered the destruction of the world's bronze Buddha statues and used them to make money.His reason was: I heard that Buddhism regards one's life experience as a falsehood, and the priority is to benefit others. If the Buddha's real body is still alive, he would definitely sacrifice his real body in order to save the common people, let alone these false bodies made of copper?This kind of theory is the theory that truly understands Buddhism deeply.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered the living people, and there were remnants of the counties and counties he passed.One day, his subordinate Li Dingguo saw Monk Poshan, who pleaded for the people and asked not to massacre the city again.Li Dingguo asked people to pile up mutton, pork, and dog meat, and said to Poshan: If you monk eat these, I will seal the knife!Poshan said: The old monk is a million souls, why should the Tathagata take a precept!Immediately eat it and show it to him. Li Dingguo is also a thief, so he had to seal the knife.Zhou Shizong and Monk Poshan are really first-class people who understand Buddhism deeply, because they can really break attachments.The attachments in Buddhism include ego attachment and dharma attachment: ego attachment is what most people think of as the subjective self; dharma attachment is the universe that is considered objective.Because they have a deep understanding of Buddhism, they can destroy the golden body of the Buddha and open the precepts of the Tathagata for millions of living beings.However, ordinary Buddhist figures talk about the worldly law and the super-worldly law all day long. In fact, they can't really understand any law and really practice it.Buddhism is believed by these people, and these good men and women believe in it. If the Buddha knows it, he should weep and mourn.Sakyamuni died with regret.The Hunan people said this in one breath, and the more they said it, the more angry they became.

Listening to your brother promote Buddhism, the insights are really extraordinary.Dude's export is "Huayan Sutra", it seems that dude prefers Huayan? In fact, that one was all messed up.Huayan is the same.It's just that Hua Yan was discriminated against from the very beginning.1,500 years ago, the translator of the Huayan Sutra, Buddhaduobaduoluo, came to Chang'an, but was squeezed out by more than 3,000 monks, so he had to leave Chang'an and go south. More than ten years later, he translated the "Huayan Sutra". In China, there is also a book of sorrow.I especially like it.In particular, its writing process is also full of legends. Nagarjuna, his friend was killed, but he survived to spread Huayan thought.A friend is dead, but Hua Yan thought is immortal.

The full name of "Avatamsaka Sutra" is "Great Fang Guangfo Huayan Sutra". It is said that it was compiled by Manjusri Bodhisattva and Ananda, and received by the Dragon God in the Dragon Palace.Nagarjuna Bodhisattva entered the Dragon Palace and saw it and attained enlightenment, and passed it on to the world.There are three volumes of this sutra, the upper, middle, and lower, and the abridged version of the lower volume was passed down to China.Nagarjuna Bodhisattva is an apostle born 700 years after the death of Sakyamuni and a disciple of Ma Ming Bodhisattva.He is very clever, and he learned the stealth method with two friends, and ran to the palace.The emperor ordered to swing the sword around to cut the invisible man, and the two friends were killed.When the enemy swung their swords, Nagarjuna found that they were afraid of accidentally injuring the emperor and dared not swing beside the emperor, so he hid beside the emperor and escaped the catastrophe.Liang Qichao thought of this, and became more and more curious about this Hunanese.This old man likes Nagarjuna, he must have a lot of chivalry.he thought.Then he spoke:

When I talked about Zhou Shizong's sacrifice of copper Buddha body and monk Poshan's sacrifice of vegetarian body, it can be seen that I can make an argument on the righteousness of Buddhism.With the spirit of being born into the world, doing the career of entering the world, the spirit is extraordinary.There is conventional truth, and then there is true truth; there is mundane law, and then there is supramundane law.Buddhism says to turn around, which means reincarnating from the mundane mentality to transcend the mundane mentality. However, the real problem of Buddhism is that good men and women only know the common truth but not the real truth. As a result, they don’t know the mundane psychology at all. How can they change it?From what?The old man said that they talk about the worldly law and the transcendental law all day long, but in fact they can't really understand any law and really practice it, which can be said to hit the nail on the head. Congratulations, dude.However, I think that hitting the nail on the head is actually just saying that action is the only way to hit the nail on the head.People with lofty ideals and benevolent people in ancient and modern times, after they were born, all appeared in the evil world of five turbidities. This is exactly what the Buddha said to come out of the original vow, and what Confucius said to seek benevolence and obtain benevolence.In the end, making the great vow to shed blood for all living beings, saving all living beings with no ego, drawing a sword quickly, killing one's body and breaking one's family, is also a very good destination. This is the real so-called sacrifice of one's life.Saying that, the people of Hunan pointed at the Buddha statue, and the temple enshrined Dari Tathagata, Manjushri, and Puxian Bodhisattva, which are commonly known as the three saints of Huayan. I think they will agree with my interpretation derived from the "Huayan Sutra". ?The Buddha has three bodies: the dharma body, the retribution body, and the response body.Dainichi Tathagata is the dharmakaya of Buddha.However, the Buddhist scriptures talk about three kinds of body transformation, the so-called self-correspondence, other-body correspondence, and non-body correspondence. In the second kind of other-body correspondence, there is a saying that transforms the demon king into the body of a Buddha, and transforms the relic into a celestial girl. I think it is the true body of the Buddha.From this point of view, the Great Sun Tathagata sitting here, and the Manjusri and Samantabhadra standing on both sides are actually false bodies, and his own statue just proves the falseness of this shape.If the wood carvings have spirits, these three people use their fake bodies to show up in the evil world. I really don't know how they feel?Could it be that being worshiped in the Great Hall of Great Heroes is the end of the matter?This is absolutely not the case with real Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.So, I think, the three of them are really going to be restless!Rather than attaching themselves to wooden statues, they might as well attach themselves to people with lofty ideals and sacrifice their lives to practice Buddhism!Haha, what do you guys think? Liang Qichao nodded, looked at the Hunanese, and smiled: Since the demon king can be turned into the body of a Buddha, it is natural to turn the body of the Buddha into the body of a man of lofty ideals and benevolence. This kind of inference can be established.So, let’s put it this way: the martyrdom of a person with lofty ideals is not only the sacrifice of a person with lofty ideals, but also the death of a Buddha and a Bodhisattva, isn’t it? You can say that.The people of Hunan are smiling, but Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can be transformed into tens of thousands, and the great gods are possessed by people with lofty ideals. The death is only one in a million, not all of them, but the people with lofty ideals But otherwise, there is only one person with lofty ideals and benevolence, so once he sacrifices his life, the death is all.In this way, it seems unfair.Ha ha!Hunan people don't smile anymore. Your brother's discussion is out of the ordinary, but I am afraid that I have invented too much of the profound meaning of the "Avatamsaka Sutra".Liang Qichao paused for a moment. In Huayan's world, there is a so-called one-true dharma realm. This kind of dharma realm advocates the elimination of truth and falsehood, and the distinction between living and Buddha.It transcends all treatment, the noumenon is the phenomenon, the phenomenon is the noumenon, absolute equality.In this one-true Dharma Realm, all dharmas are unified. In terms of quantity, one is not too small, and trillions are not too many. One grain of sand can see through the immeasurable three thousand worlds; in terms of volume, dust is not too small. The void is not big enough, the mustard seed mustard seed, the mustard seed muster mustard seed, mutual acceptance without hindrance; in terms of time, a moment is not too short, and a kalpa is not long enough, whether all things are born and died, or the year of the pine crane, it is a lifetime .In the one true Dharma Realm, the number, size, and length of everything are false and unreal. In the One True Dharma Realm that transcends existence, transcends time and space, there are hundreds of kalpas in one thought, and hundreds of kalpas depend on one thought; a speck of dust is the land of the ten directions. , the lands of the ten directions are also a speck of dust, one is all, and all is one.Therefore, a person with lofty ideals sacrifices one's own life, in fact, it is no different from thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who sacrifice their lives, and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not take advantage of it.To be more precise, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have thousands of incarnations, but the martyrdom of one part of the martyrdom is actually the martyrdom of the whole, and the whole has died with the part. Turning into tens of millions is just one.The more I talked about it, the more I talked about it. Perhaps, if the Buddha knew it, he would laugh at you and me as the chief culprits of misinterpreting Huayan. No, no misinterpretation.The people of Hunan earnestly insist that the "Avatamsaka Sutra" is the king of the scriptures.Think about it, the Buddha had nine gatherings in seven places before he finished speaking Huayan. At that time, he said that no one could understand the profound meaning of it. Arhats are also unable to understand.Therefore, this sutra was hidden in the Dragon Palace until Nagarjuna Bodhisattva recited it before it could be spread outside.Although Nagarjuna only memorized one-third of it, we can still grasp a lot of Huayan's profound meanings.Among them, the dedication is the most brilliant, incomparably great.After truly grasping this profound meaning of dedication, you will find that Buddhism is by no means negative.Do you still remember Wang Anshi's "Dream" poem? Knowing the world is like a dream without seeking anything, There is nothing to ask for, and the mind is empty and silent. It's like following a dream within a dream, Accomplish the river sand dream merit. What a high state this is!What a state of Huayan's dedication!Wang Jinggong believes that life is like a dream, and there is nothing to ask for. He does not pursue anything, and his heart is like still water.However, in one dream to another, he left countless merits for the world.This state is the state of profound understanding of Buddhism.This kind of wise, benevolent, and brave men who were born first and then entered the world, they are all people who survived the dead.When a person reaches this stage, he is a Buddha.It is Bodhisattva.And this kind of fire finally ends with killing one's body and becoming benevolent, which means that this dream comes true and this body is not false.Ordinary Buddhists understand Buddhist scriptures, but they are all wrong.The spirit of Buddhism is to first turn yourself into a falsehood. After the falsehood passes, there is nothing to love and nothing to regret, and then turn around and make the falsehood come true. This is the correct solution.After being born, and then returning to the world, that is, after seeing through the world of mortals, and then returning to the world of mortals. At this time, people in this state really have a body in their eyes and no body in their hearts.He worked hard to save the world, but he didn't care about gains and losses. He advanced and retreated slowly and calmly. This is the real Buddha and Bodhisattva.I think, my brother's opinion is probably the same as mine, right? Same, really same.Liang Qichao said excitedly, "Your brother and I met by chance, in ancient temples, and in the hall of the Great Hero. There are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and even eighteen arhats as witnesses. The two are predestined for three lives, accumulate strength and become heroes, and participate in the one true Dharma realm. It can be said that it is a lifetime of comfort to speculate on a few words. Liang Qichao bowed to the Hunan people, and the Hunan people also bowed as a salute. By the way, Liang Qichao added a sentence. After talking for a long time, I haven't asked your name yet? Oh, sorry, sorry.People from Hunan hurriedly said, my surname is Tan, and the name of Tan in Xi, Zao and Yan is Sitong.Even if I don't go, Zining will not be the heir of the sound; the same as the same with minor differences. Liang Qichao's eyes lit up, he smiled, and reached out to hold him, aren't you the young master of the governor of Hubei today? Strange, strange!Tan Sitong's eyes also lit up, how do you know me?Who are you?Who are you? I am Liang Qichao, a student of Mr. Kang Youwei! Oops!It turns out that you are Liang Qichao, what a pleasure to meet you, what a pleasure to meet you!He shook Liang Qichao's hand vigorously.I came to Beijing from Shanghai just to look for your mentors and apprentices!When I was in the south, I heard that you were making a big splash in Beijing, so I came here specially to join your Strong Society.How about it?Take me to see Mr. Kang and go through membership procedures?Tan Sitong became impatient. Liang Qichao smiled wryly. What a coincidence, Mr. Kang went to the south at the end of August, not in Beijing.As for the Strong Society, you are also late. You were sealed up three days ago, and I was also kicked out. well!Unfortunately.What about you?There is always no place to go.good!Come and live in our Liuyang Clubhouse.The Liuyang Guild Hall was donated by my father 22 years ago. Living there is the same as living at home, and you will not feel inconvenient.How about it? No need, thanks.Liang Qichao replied, I will now live in the Nanhai Guild Hall, and I will look after Mr. Kang's house by the way.Anyway, the two guild halls are very close, and we can meet anytime.Just now you said that you came to Beijing from Shanghai to find Mr. Kang and me. In fact, we are also waiting for the presence of heroes in Beijing.There are only more than 20 members of the Strong Society, and we need like-minded comrades too much.Dude is versatile in both civil and military affairs, we have heard about it a long time ago, it is a pleasure to meet you today from thousands of miles away.It's a pity that the house was confiscated by the club, so I couldn't take my brother there for a walk. This time the house was ransacked, the loss is not small, right?Tan Sitong asked with concern. Of course not small.The most regrettable thing is a world map. We searched for a world map in Beijing for a month or two, but we couldn't get one. In the end, we had no choice but to find one from Shanghai and bring it to Beijing.I remember that when the map came, everyone regarded it as a jade.In order to promote the vision of the Chinese people, we go outside every day to publicize and find people to visit this map!Alas, now this map has been stolen too.Liang Qichao couldn't help but sigh, although Beijing is the most benevolent area, in fact, people's hearts are closed, and it depends on our efforts to strengthen the society.However, after three months of strong learning, it was eradicated.We have suffered setbacks, but we have no regrets.Tao Yuanming said in his poem that he planted mulberry trees by the Yangtze River for three years. Just when the harvest was about to be harvested, the mountains and rivers suddenly changed color. , because it was not planted on the plateau, why regret it today?If you didn't plant trees in a safe area, what is there to regret?Therefore, we still have to plant mulberry trees, and then also serve as spring silkworms, spinning silk by ourselves.It's just that in terms of location, it is not suitable to start in Beijing at present. It seems that we have to start from the south. Shanghai and Hunan are ideal starting points.Now Mr. Kang has gone to the south first. Mr. Kang has a full set of plans. We will definitely be able to take root in the south and then go north.Saving the country is not a quick career, and maybe our generation will not see it.Although there are opportunities for short-term success, we will not give up, but in the long run, the fundamental plan is to run schools and newspapers to open up people's wisdom.In view of this, one of the key points of Mr. Kang's efforts is to cultivate students, influence students with personality, make students become comrades, and participate in the great cause of saving the country together.Although your brother is not a disciple of Kangmen, we welcome you to cooperate and show up together.Just as Gong Dingyu hoped: Nagarjuna Ma Ming Qi appeared, and I heard the roar of the earth lion.Isn't that better?You man, oh, I should change the way I call you, let me call you by your name.your word is resurrection.The restoration of recovery, the birth of life. Well, Fusheng, my character is Zhuo Ru, Zhuo of Zhuo Wenjun, and Ru of Sima Xiangru.Although we are not from the same school, we are comrades. In fact, we are spiritually the same door.I, Mr. Shukang, am willing to take Mr. Kang as my teacher.I have read Mr. Kang's works for a long time. When his "Xinxue Apocrypha" was published four years ago, I have seen reprinted and lithographed books. Although Mr. Kang's books were banned, his thoughts were Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he was able to use such a great knowledge to write a special book to overthrow the two-thousand-year-old case, which is truly extraordinary, unprecedented in ancient and modern times.For such a great intellectual, I am willing to be his student.Brother Zhuo Ru, if Mr. Meng Kang does not give up, please be sure to express your intention first.Tan Sitong said sincerely. I will do so.I think that Mr. Kang would be very happy to receive you, a hero who is a good knight, adept in swordsmanship, and has traveled all over the country, east and west. Strange, brother Zhuo Ru, you seem to know my life experience like the back of your hand.Tan Sitong tilted his head and looked sideways. Liang Qichao smiled. I am seven years younger than Brother Fusheng. I was born in Xiongzi Island, Nanxiang, Xinhui, Guangdong. That place is a fishing village on the coast of Guangdong. To eat, you still have to farm by yourself.After I was admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve, I went to the fields.I come from an ordinary family, and I don't have the opportunity to travel around the world, and I am also a person of literary fiction, so I am very envious of your brother Fusheng who can gallop across the Central Plains and deserts, and make friends with heroes from all over the world.I heard that you have been to Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Taiwan since you were twelve years old since you were in Beijing. It is really not easy to inspect the customs and find heroes. I have never been to Taiwan.It was my second elder brother Tan Sixiang from Xiangyang who went to Taiwan.He was favored by the governor of Taiwan, Liu Mingchuan, and asked him to serve in Tainan. As a result, six years ago, at the age of 33, he died in Penghu Academy in Tainan Prefecture.I almost went to Taiwan. Originally, I was going to Taiwan to welcome the spirit, but when I arrived in Shanghai, Tang Jingsong called me and asked me to wait in Shanghai, but I didn't go. Alas, it’s okay if you don’t go, Liang Qichao said, Taiwan will be handed over to Japan this year.Alas, Taiwan is a land of sorrow! What a sad place!We Chinese have spent so much effort and lives in building Taiwan, and my second brother is one of them.Now that it has been ceded to Japan, this revenge must be avenged!This land must be restored!As your brother Zhuo Ru said, I have traveled all over the country, east and west, and I am not as good as you in learning from books, but in terms of experience in action, I am too conceited to be second-guessed.do you know?Although I am a child of an aristocratic family, I am by no means a son who does not work hard and does not distinguish between five grains. On the contrary, I have tasted a lot of joys and sorrows in the world.When I was 12 years old, I was infected during the great epidemic in Beijing. I was in a coma for three days and three nights before I came back to life. That’s how my word Fusheng came about.Within five days, three members of our family died, including our mother, eldest brother, and second sister.I narrowly escaped death, when my father took office in Gansu when I was thirteen, I returned to my hometown in Hunan.When I went to Gansu at the age of fourteen, there was a bad year in Henan and Shaanxi, and there were thousands of miles of red land. If I went to Gansu with me, more than a dozen died on the way.I am in Gansu, and I like going out for expeditions and hunting the most.However, when it is hit by the northwest wind, it looks good. When the northwest wind blows, it is really flying sand and stones, and the stones hit the body, as if hit by a crossbow.Of course, it is better to have snow in winter, but snow is worse than snow.Once in Hexi, a cavalryman and I lost our way. We traveled 1,600 miles for seven days and nights, but there was no one inhabited.When he came back from the emergency, his buttocks were messed up and his crotch was covered in blood.Of course, there is also a generous side of elegiac songs in the Northwest. At night, they set up tents on the sand, eat goat blood and snow, or drink heavily, or gamble, or dance swords, or wrestle, or play the pipa, or listen to the horn. This sense of confluence of boldness and depression is really unheard of in thousands of volumes.Especially, when you are in the ancient battlefield, you feel the atmosphere of thousands of years ago, when Hu people herded horses, Han generals stretched borders, tasted the three armies, and surrounded by noises, you will really feel lost.Your mind will be extremely wide open, but that kind of opening is sad, wandering, vast and long, and you don’t know the way back. You feel thousands of troops passing by in front of your eyes, and the sound of killing is loud. , blood flow everywhere.But, all of a sudden, everything stopped, everything was still, and all the thousands of troops and horses turned into a pile of dust and bones in an instant.At this time, you seem to be the only living person in the world, and you are walking through the ghost domain. It is not you who hanged yourself on the ancient battlefield, but the ancient battlefield sacrificed you to death.After having that kind of life experience, Brother Zhuo Ru, I found that I no longer valued the rest of my life. At that time, I was only eighteen years old, but my heart was confused, as if I was already eighty.Over the past twelve years, I have been immersed in learning, especially Western and Buddhist studies, and my views on life have become more and more mature. Now that I am 31 years old, I feel that I am overwhelmed by the snare and dedicate myself to serve the country.So I came from Shanghai to follow Mr. Kang, and I hope everyone can do something big together.This time when I came to Beijing, I wrote the Four Laws of Remembrance on the way, and I happened to have the manuscript by my side, so I hereby present it to Brother Zhuo Ru.My life's thoughts are all contained in these four verses, so please give me your advice. Liang Qichao took over the manuscript.At this time, a monk from Fayuan Temple came in and bowed to the two of them.The two returned their salutes and walked out of the Daxiong Hall. It was nearly noon.Liang Qichao said: Your Liuyang Guild Hall is located on the west side of Nankou Road in the northern half of the Hutong. There is a restaurant called Guangheju in Nankou, which faces east and west. It is a good place for chatting.Brother Fusheng, come north, I will clean up the dust for you today.That restaurant is very special, it is a place where intellectuals often meet, ordinary businessmen are afraid to go there.This is the taste of Beijing city.In the city of Beijing, there are some places that are clean and the standards are there, where the elegant people go, and the arty people will stay away.I dare not speak of places outside of Beijing. Tan Sitong accepted the invitation.The two walked out of Fayuan Temple hand in hand. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ After leaving Guanghe Residence, he went outside to take care of a lot of things. When Liang Qichao returned to Nanhai Clubhouse in Mishi Hutong, it was already ten o'clock at night.He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and decided to find something to look at.Suddenly remembered, didn't Tan Sitong give him four poems this morning?Why not check it out now?So he lit a candle and read: one of Living with the Lotus Flower Language Four Zen, An empty smile is Hengtian. But the rain of the red law occasionally produces color. Blown to the sky by the black wind. The great suffering has no fixed body, Xiaoyan breaks the road and relieves sorrow. Years of chewing wax into taste, Enter the ten kinds of immortals in Shurangama. second Unreasonable past events in life, Put your hazy eyes on your pocket. Who is the skull under the lamp with a sword? Dreaming of Sanhuai in front of the deceased. Jin Qiu spurts blood and fights against the sky, Yunzhu mourns when he hears the song. Xu Jia repented heartily, May the body be turned into bones and ashes. third Life and death are worthless, When the world turns upside down, it happens suddenly. And joy and ruthlessness become liberation, It's dark to chase after the past. The tung flower courtyard is aconitum white, Fangcao Tingzhou goose tears red. The reincarnated golden ring snapped, Knot empty for color and Russian empty. Fourth What kind of injustice did Liu Huasu have? Pingmo met Nailqi! Until the mud is gathered, It's only a matter of falling into the water now. How can I endure this forever, It is also without town furrow. I am a relative of the Buddha, heavenly relatives and demons, Let go and rob monks for a while. Liang Qichao was stunned as he read, read, and read.God!What a poem!Depressed and mournful, every word is a work of learning and gaining!It is said that there is no definite interpretation of poems, and there is no clear definite statement on the interpretation of poems. However, when you read these four poems, you will immediately feel a sense of confusion. all at once.So Liang Qichao sat up in his cloak and began to carefully consider the poem draft. Tan Fusheng's poem was deeply influenced by Buddhism.It was obvious from the start.Liang Qichao said to himself that Buddhism regards the lotus as the most pure and extraordinary flower. Buddhists of the Pure Land School even emphasize that after death, the lotus is reborn, and the flower blooms to see the Buddha.There is a Lotus Kingdom in Buddhism, which is the realm of the Western Paradise.In this kind of state, the heavens and four dhyana heavens, which are born by practicing the four dhyana samadhis, from the nose, tongue, outer eyes, ears, body, and four consciousnesses of the first dhyana heaven, to the six consciousnesses of the fourth dhyana heaven, only consciousness remains, eighteen days. The realm in the middle is getting higher and higher, so high that you can laugh in the air, and the laughter is overflowing.Thinking of promoting Buddhism, when the sky is raining, when a black wind blows, the sky will be misty and gloomy. "Laozi" said: The reason why I have a serious patient is because I am pregnant.And I have no body, what trouble do I have?As long as I don't think about my own life, I will be detached from everything. This kind of detachment is the non-fixed form in Buddhism. Under the no fixed form of the body, the little words Zhan Zhan mentioned in "Zhuangzi" can be easily dismissed. Sorrowful, breaking the evil way.Just because there is no self, let’s go back and be pragmatic, so even if we act without desire, as described in the Shurangama Sutra, it is tasteless, but in fact it is not without taste. You can follow the instructions listed in the Shurangama Sutra. Ten kinds of immortals went to the world together! What are the ten kinds of immortals?Liang Qichao couldn't remember clearly, so he got out of bed, took down the Shurangama Sutra from the bookshelf, and looked it up.It turned out to be: Earth Immortal, Flying Immortal, Parade Immortal, Kinkin Immortal, Tianxingxian, Tongxingxian, Tao Xing Xian, Zhao Xing Xian, Jingxingxian, Juexingxian. Ok, now let's study the second one.Liang Qichao said to himself, Buddhists say reincarnation in three generations; it means three lives. "Jiyimenlun" says that the three worlds are the past life, the future life, and the present life.In Bai Juyi's poems, there are generations who say that the three lives are as infallible, and they all suspect that Chaoxu is the predecessor.Tan Fusheng writes about unprovoked past life events, with a hazy karmic eye in his pocket, which naturally refers to past life events, which have no beginning and no end, and suddenly appear in this life.The reincarnation of life and death mentioned by Buddhism is determined by karma.Karma includes action karma, which is body karma; language karma, which is oral karma and language karma; and thought karma, which is mind karma.There is good and evil in karma.What comes out of karma is karma, which refers to an irresistible force of retribution for good and evil. This force comes from karma and achieves karma and karma.Karma is the retribution of the past life for the present life.Because of the karma in the previous life, many things from the previous life without beginning and end can be seen in the dimness.The empress dowager and the villains, acting against the sky, singing and dancing, just want to occupy the high position. Those who are corpses should always be cleared.Jia Dao's poem said: Ring the bell, drink wine and shoot into the sky, the golden tiger furrows its fur and spits blood spots.在小人在位、違反天意的時局裏，我跟他們，展開一場苦戰，悲歌慷慨，動地而來，但這又算什麼？生在鼎食之家，我的一切都得自吾土吾民，我不是我，我只是一具枯骨，今天在尚有血肉生命時候，我要懺悔、我要發願犧牲自己：願我的肉體化為枯骨、枯骨化為灰燼，為吾土吾民獻身。 梁啟超又進一步自言自語：這詩的整個意思落在最後徐甲儻容心懺悔，願身成骨骨成灰上。是用晉朝葛洪《神仙傳》的典。徐甲是老子的傭人，跟了老子許多年，可是從沒拿到薪水，有一天他忍不住了，向老子算總賬，說老子欠他多少多少。老子真行，他一言不發，把徐甲化為枯骨一具。這時徐甲恍然大悟：他清楚知道，原來自己只不過是一具枯骨，他的血肉生命怎麼來的，還不明白嗎？區區人間小事，還計較什麼？於是他懺悔了。譚復生引徐甲的故事，當然是說我們要粉身碎骨去為大目標奮鬥，只有這種大目標，才有意義；其他人間小事，都是沒有意義的。 至於第三首，梁啟超尋思著，就更沉鬱哀艷了。佛門言死生流轉，在人經歷無量度數的輪迴後，跟自己心上的人懷念的人，本已無法相值交會。不料，在天翻地覆的亂世裏，我跟我心上的人懷念的人卻又巧遇了、相逢了。但是，前世的因緣，已杳然難尋，欲尋還休，我也以無情解脫自喜。自古以來，從燕宮歸怨、到吳宮離愁、到人間的雁行折翼，本有著太多的離情別緒，縱使人間因緣，像羊叔子那樣，本是李家七歲墜井而死的男孩的後身，且有金環以為物證，但是，又怎樣呢？死生又流轉了，再世相逢，最後空空如也，還如一夢中。 最後一首也有情詩成分，梁啟超心想著，不過，它綜合了前三首，把對生命、對國家、對人情的一切，都串連在一起。這首詩寫人間柳絮飄萍，本寄跡水面，各自東西，雖然今天墮水成離，他年卻會化泥成聚。目前，縱有著屈原《離騷》的痛苦，卻可展現莊周隨緣的無垠。佛門以波旬魔王常率他的眷屬障礙佛法。《楞嚴經》有如我此說，名為佛說；不如我此說，即波旬說之語，足徵天亦有親而魔亦有眷之外，魔眷與魔，又同為與佛說打對台的魔說。雖然如此，這只是一時的。《佛國記》有喝言菩薩從三阿僧祇劫苦行，不惜身命的話，阿僧祇劫是數目的極限，是無數的意思。縱使成佛也擺脫不掉天親魔眷的攔路。但是，從自己終期於盡、歸於死亡看，一切也都是阿僧祇劫的歷程，人生的千變萬化，看開了，不過如此。 梁啟超在燭光下，勉強把這四首詩解釋出來了，在燭影搖晃中，感到一股逼人的鬼氣。譚復生真是奇男子、奇男子。他喃喃自語，他的詩，沉鬱哀艷，字字學道有得，這種得，全是積極的、奮發的。佛法的真義告訴我們：人相、我相、眾生相既一無可取，而我們猶現身於世界者，乃由性海渾圓、眾生一體、慈悲為度、無有已時之故。是故以智為體、以悲為用，不染一切、亦不捨一切。又以願力無盡故，與其布施於將來，不如布施於現在；又以大小平等故，與其惻隱於他界，不如惻隱於最近。於是淒然出世而又浩然人世，縱橫四顧，有澄清天下之志。《華嚴經》談回向，說以十住所得諸佛之智、十行所行出世之行，濟以悲願，處俗利生。回真向俗、回智向悲，使真俗圓融、智悲不二，而回向菩提實際。佛法的真髓、佛法的真精神，正在這裏啊！這些啊，才是佛法的實際。其他那些吃齋拜佛、手寫大悲、手數念珠的動作啊，全是假的！ ☆☆☆☆☆☆ 梁啟超、譚嗣同碰面後四個多月，他們就先後南下了。他們覺得北京難以發展，所以到南方去做紮根的工作。梁啟超先在上海辦《時務報》、開大同譯書局、發起不纏足會、並且創辦了女學堂。後來發現湖南巡撫陳寶箴思想開通，他的兒子陳三立與手下黃遵憲、徐仁鑄，都協助推行新政，有更好的發展機會，就轉到湖南，做時務學堂總教習。譚嗣同也去做了老師。在時務學堂裏，梁啟超親自教育四十名學生，培養下一代的救國人才。他用的是康有為在萬木草堂的經驗，師生打成一片，教育學生新思想、變法思想、民主思想。他每天上課四小時，課餘辦理校務、批答學生作文和筆記，每次批答，有的在一千字以上，忙得常常熬夜，最後累出了大病。這時候，湖南地方的守舊勢力也正好檢舉梁啟超他們，說他們非聖無法、妖言惑眾，湖南巡撫也保護不了他們了，所以一一予以解聘。梁啟超只好由學生扶著，登上輪船，東去上海。在學生中，有一位年紀最小的，只有十六歲，他身體瘦弱，可是靈氣過人，一直在梁啟超身邊，替老師整理行裝。他很少說話，他和梁老師從認識到相聚，只不過短短的幾個月，但是，梁老師的言教與身教，卻深深影響了他。梁老師先用學約十條開拓了學生的眼界，十條裏告訴學生：非讀萬國之書，則不能讀一國之書。要知道中國以外還有世界，了解世界才能為中國定位、才能了解中國，孔子之教，非徒治一國，乃以治天下。因此為學當求治天下之理。知識分子要求得此理而努力成大丈夫，以大儒定大亂，這才是讀書上學的目的。那時候，中國的教育風氣，都是教人把讀書當敲門磚、當成考科舉、謀干祿、光宗耀祖的工具，但是，梁老師卻完全撇開這些，他用更高層次的目標，來期勉學生，使學生在入學起點，就進入新境界。這個十六歲的小男生，是四十個學生中最聰明的，名叫蔡艮寅，對這種新境界最為醉心。他在作文和筆記本中，長篇大論的討論知識分子的使命和中國的前途，梁啟超除了在上面批答以外，還把大家的作文和筆記都攤開來，互相觀摩討論，在討論中，蔡艮寅不多話，但是每次發言，都能把握重點，見人所未見，老師和同學都特別喜歡他。 蔡艮寅出身湖南寶慶的農舍，七歲開始讀書，一邊讀書，一邊種田。夜裏看書，為了節省油燈的開支，他每在有月色的時候，就盡量利用月光來伴讀。他在十歲以後，就感到無書可讀之苦，他到處打聽有可能借書看的所在，書是借不出來的，他每每一走幾十里，到有書的地方去就地借看，做成筆記，帶回來研習。十三歲時候，他已經讀了不少書。這時候，他拜同縣的樊錐做老師。樊錐是一位思想高超、氣魄雄偉的人物，在《湘報》上發表《開誠篇》和《發錮篇》，感動了蔡艮寅，也召來了湖南地方守舊勢力的憤怒。最後，樊老師被驅逐出境了。蔡艮寅為樊老師整理行裝，直送老師上路。那是一個陰雨的清早，樊老師背著行李，提著書袋，走出家門，蔡艮寅背著另一書袋，跟在後面，在地方守舊人士的叫囂下，師徒二人，默默走到馬車邊，馬車太小，老師只分到一個座位，所以東西必須堆在腳下，有的要抱在胸前。樊老師上了馬車，蔡艮寅吃力的把書袋推上去，教師接過了，從書袋旁擠出頭來，向學生告別。蔡艮寅小小年紀，眼睜睜地看著自己的老師被這樣趕走，他含淚點著頭、伸出胳臂，遲緩地招了手、招了手。馬車逐漸遠去，直到在陰雨中變成了一個逐漸縮小的黑點，那手才放下來。可是，心卻沒放下，他浮動的心，打定主意要離開這錮人心智的地方。三年以後，他隻身到了長沙，進了時務學堂。運氣真好，他碰到了梁老師，一位比樊老師更光芒四射的人物。樊老師使他知道中國、梁老師卻使他知道世界；樊老師使他知道家鄉以外有一片天、梁老師卻使他知道天外有天。可是，因緣是那麼容易破碎，梁老師也遭到被驅逐的命運。如今，他又背著書袋，送梁老師上船了。 梁老師被學生扶著，躺進了臥艙，他吃力地咳嗽著，蔡艮寅趕忙跑去找開水，一衝出艙門，跟一個人撞了滿懷。抬頭一看，原來是譚嗣同譚老師。譚老師扶住他肩膀，拍拍他，下了艙去。 蔡艮寅找到開水，回來的時候，正聽到梁老師對大家說的一段話： 我們不能捨身救國的原因，非因此家所累，就因此身所累。我們大家要約定：非破家不能救國、非殺身不能成仁。誰同意這一標準，誰就是我們的同志 送行的人們點了頭，譚嗣同補充說： 我們大家在時務學堂這段因緣，恐怕就此成為終點，但是我們的師生之情、相知之情、救國之情，卻從梁先生這一標準上，有了起點。我們時務學堂的師生都是有抱負、有大抱負的。此後我們會從不同的方向、不同的角度，去救我們的國家，成敗利鈍，雖非我們所能逆睹，但是即使不成功，梁先生所期勉的非破家不能救國、非殺身不能成仁，相信我們之中，一定大有人在。在看不見想不到的時候、在不可知不可料的地方，我們也許會破家殺身，為今日之別，存一血證。那時候，在生死線上、在生死線外，我們不論生死，都要魂魄憑依，以不辜負時務學堂這一段交情 譚嗣同從床邊站起來，向梁啟超抱拳而別，大家也魚貫走出艙房，蔡艮寅走在最後一個。他轉身向梁老師招手，眼中含著淚。梁老師微笑著望著他，招手叫他過去： 艮寅，臨別無以為贈，我送你一個名字吧，艮寅的名字不好，又八卦又天干地支，不能跟你相配，改個單名，叫蔡鍔吧。鍔是刀劍的刃，又是很高的樣子，又高又鋒利，正是你的前途。至於字，就叫松坡吧。歲寒然後知松柏之後凋，有松樹那種節操，再加上蘇東坡那樣灑脫，正是蔡鍔的另一面！
