Today I accidentally saw a self-introduction by Professor of the Department of Philosophy of Fudan University Wang Defeng . It is quite interesting. I will share it and learn together.

The prerequisite for the dialogue set by Mr. Wang Defeng is that he meets 6th Patriarch for the first time, and wants to leave a good impression on the Sixth Patriarch, and at the same time it can arouse the Sixth Patriarch's desire to communicate, so as to facilitate himself to further ask the Sixth Patriarch for his advice on Buddhism and self-nature improvement.

Huineng : Who are you? Where did you come from? How to come?

Professor Wang:

A:Wang Defeng, professor at Fudan University, flew from Shanghai. After introducing myself, my psychological feeling was not appropriate. Now my name is Wang Defeng, who works as a professor in the Department of Philosophy at Fudan University in Shanghai. When he was a child, Wang Defeng was called Baby. At that time, Shanghai was still called Shanghai, and planes were only used for national defense. People mainly rely on trains or walking to go out. If Wang Defeng was in his 10s, he would have to go to pay homage to the Sixth Patriarch, he might have to introduce himself like this: a dog from Shanghai, a group tour of thousands of miles to pay homage to the Sixth Patriarch.

Whether it is professor Wang Defeng in his 50s or a dog in his 10s, whether it is Shanghai or Shanghai, whether it is on a plane or a foot, these are all changes, they are not the true nature of things, and can only be applied to time and place, and the introduction has no understanding.

B: Imagine carefully and change the introduction. Citizen of the People's Republic of China , worship the Sixth Patriarch.

doesn't seem to be the final word. This is the external character given to people by the legal level and can be changed at any time. Tomorrow may become another nationality.

C: Think about it carefully and change it to: someone’s husband, someone’s father. It seems that it is not the true nature of "I". The husband is the corresponding name for the wife. Because of the name of the wife, someone gives you the name of the husband; because of the child, the name of the father is the name of the father. No one is born to be a husband or father, and this requires the harmony of external conditions.

d: Think further, Wang Defeng thought of the answer: It’s not something, it’s not coming, a pile of flesh comes, and the Buddha nature does not come or go.

If you want to chat with someone with the corresponding identity, you need to have the corresponding chat paradigm. This is the basic condition for the other party to have a fate with you and produce results.

After watching this conversation by Wang Defeng, I thought of the most classic scene of visiting in "The Way of Heaven".

Ding Yuanying and Han Chufeng visited the monks on Wutaishan . In order to see the person they wanted to meet, they prepared 200,000 yuan in cash. The first time they used 50,000 yuan as a stepping stone, but failed; the second time they increased to 100,000 yuan, but failed; the third time, they gave 150,000 yuan, but failed. The last time, Ding Yuanying knocked on the door of the monk with a poem.

A true monk is considered a fate of meeting, but it is not a benefit. If you can pay 200,000 yuan, then a richer person may be able to afford 2 million yuan. If a desire arises, he will be deeply sinful. If it is a door that can be opened with money, can the person inside the door be considered a monk?

Copy Ding Yuanying's meeting words and the words modified by Master Zhixuan as follows, and learn and understand yourself.

Ding Yuanying's "Enlightenment"

Enlightenment and do not talk about destiny in heaven, and do not practice the true scriptures. One sadness, one joy, one withering and flourishing, which one is destined in the previous life?

The robe is originally pure, and the world is spotless and empty. The thousand-year-old bells of the ancient temple are all dreams

"Invincible" modified by Master Zhixuan

Only by enlightenment can one know the destiny of heaven, and one must learn the true scriptures when practicing. Life, death, and prosperity are all destined by causes and conditions.

Wang Defeng was able to meet the Sixth Patriarch, and Ding Yuanying was able to meet Master Zhixuan. The two of them have the same point as having an understanding and understanding the other party’s needs. Some people may be serious. They are all people who have become Buddhas and ancestors. Do they still have ‘needs’? Of course, there is, to save the suffering of sentient beings, to resolve the suffering of Wang Defeng's desire to meet, and to heal Ding Yuanying's ignorance.
