Huineng was pounding rice in Dongzen Temple . The fireman in the kitchen heard that Huineng was assigned to the kitchen to pound rice because he was disrespectful to the Fifth Patriarch, , so he yelled at him.

Huineng practiced patience diligently and did not care about them. In order to grind out as much grain as possible to provide for the monks and treasures in the temple, he tied himself with a stone and got up early and went to bed late every day to exceed the quota of spring rice.

After Liang Huo Gong saw this, he intensified his efforts to cut corners and show off in front of the leader Wang Xingzhe every day, and even falsely accused Hui Neng of not completing the task on time.

Wang Xingzhe was very angry after hearing this, and prescribed more pounded rice quantity for Huineng.

Huineng did not complain and continued to work more selflessly. One can imagine the amount of work he put in every day.

Master Wu Tong, who was cooking in the kitchen, would always come to fetch rice and see that the two firemen were always very busy, while Huineng was sweating profusely and never stopped, but the two firemen pounded much more rice than Huineng.

Master Wutong felt strange, so he observed it secretly and discovered the secret. He was very angry at the actions of the two fire workers and told Wang Xingzhe about it.

Wang Xingzhe was also surprised after hearing this. He recalled that every time he went to the kitchen, he saw the two firemen working hard, but there was no sweat on their faces and necks, while Huineng next to him was sweating profusely. It was obvious that they were just pretending to deceive him.

Wang Xingzhe was furious and reprimanded the two firemen, increasing the amount of rice pounded by them and reducing Huineng's workload at the same time.

The two firemen were caught and exposed. They felt very uncomfortable. They thought that Huineng must have informed them, so they hated Huineng even more. They pointed at Huineng's nose and cursed "barbaric dog" and "rampant".

Patience is a very important practice skill. " Diamond Sutra " says: "Everything has no self, and it is achieved through patience."

If a practitioner cannot endure humiliation, it will be difficult for him to achieve concentration and wisdom, and it will also be difficult for him to have a pure mind.

Who can bear a sharp knife thrust into the heart?

Ke Huineng is an enlightened person after all. His heart is in the state of enlightenment and will not be turned by adversity. So he didn't care about the humiliation and abuse from the two fire workers, and still worked hard.

In the evening, the two fire workers saw that they could not complete the task and would be scolded by the Jade Walker again, so they hated Huineng even more.

was cursing and fuming. When Huineng was pounding rice, they both stepped forward and pushed Huineng on the back. Although the stone was not high, Huineng had a large stone tied to his body. The inertia was very strong. Huineng fell to the ground in an instant, sweating profusely in pain.

The two firemen took a look and hurriedly said: "Mao Li, don't pretend, get up quickly."

Huineng endured the pain and said: "My hip bones are in unbearable pain and I can't get up."

After hearing this, the two firemen hurried forward, one of them took an arm and pulled Huineng up hard, but Huineng's left foot did not dare to touch the ground.

The two fire workers knew something was wrong when they saw it, so they quickly supported Hui Neng and warned Hui Neng not to tell anyone.

At this time, Master Wutong came to the pounding room to get rice and saw two firemen politely supporting Huineng. When he looked carefully, Huineng's face was pale and in great pain, and he felt something was wrong.

Master Wutong hurriedly asked Huineng: "Lu Huineng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell or someone is bullying you?" When the two fire workers heard this, their hearts were in their throats, for fear that Huineng would report them.

only listened to Huineng's reply: "Thank you Master for your concern. I accidentally pounded the rice just now and fell off the stone. The pain in my left hip is unbearable. It may be that my hip joint was seriously injured. I am really useless. I am." The two of them helped me up."

When Huo Gong heard this, he was inspired by Huineng's compassion and realized his conscience. He knelt down in front of Master Wu Tong, bursting into tears, and told the whole story.

Master Wutong was very angry after hearing this, but the fireman said it so sincerely and sincerely repented, and Huineng was begging for mercy. He thought to himself, a prodigal son can't return his favor, as long as he repented and corrected himself, that would be a good start. If this matter was publicized, the two firemen might be expelled from the temple, so forgive them once.

Master Wutong thought of this and together with the two firemen, he quickly carried Huineng to the room and put him on the bed.

Huineng was sweating profusely in pain. Master Wutong couldn't bear it. The two firemen were also extremely anxious, hoping that someone could treat Huineng's injuries.

At this moment, a dirty old monk walked in outside the gate and volunteered to treat Huineng's injury. The two firemen were afraid that the old monk would seriously treat Hui Neng, so they stood by Hui Neng's bed and prevented the old monk from getting close to Hui Neng.

When Master Wu Tong saw it, he was delighted. He found out that this old monk was the wandering monk who came here two months ago and called himself the confused monk.

Master Wutong thought that since this old monk came forward, maybe he could really cure Huineng's back injury because he had traveled far and wide and was well-informed.

Master Wutong ordered the two firemen to stand aside and let the monk treat Huineng's illness.

The old monk walked slowly to Huineng's bedside, stretched out his hand to explore Huineng's left hip, and said with a happy face, "The monk's muscles and bones are not injured, but his left hip is out of joint and misaligned, and it will be fine when he helps it."

As he spoke, he pushed lightly with his left hand. Huineng felt a strong heat penetrate his left hip, and the pain disappeared immediately.

was pleasantly surprised. Just when he was about to stand up and thank the old monk, the old monk stopped him and told him to take good care of himself and have a long future.

This confused monk was none other than one of the two monks who named Hui Neng twenty-four years ago.

After two months of careful observation, the confused monk knew that Huineng was not only talented but also compassionate and endured humiliation. He was a rare talent.

Huineng slept until midnight when he suddenly heard someone calling, "Lu Xingzhe, does your injury still hurt?" Huineng was startled. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a woodshed. Standing in front of him was the old monk who treated his injuries during the day.

Huineng hurriedly stood up and knelt down to him. He felt a strong heat gently push his arm, and he stood up involuntarily. However, the old monk did not reach out to brush his sleeves. Huineng saw that the old monk's kung fu was extraordinary.

After repeated inquiries, Huineng knew that the eminent monk in front of him was one of the masters who named his infant self. He was grateful, and the confused monk wanted to inherit the teacher's teachings and teach Huineng the formless Zen technique.

When Huineng heard that the old monk wanted to teach him Kungfu, he immediately clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for your love. But Huineng is determined to learn Buddhism and has no intention of learning martial arts. I hope Master and Father will understand."

"Lu Xingzhe, Buddhist disciples learn martial arts for the purpose of strengthening their bodies, protecting the Dharma and subduing demons. It is not a good idea." Brave and fierce, if you don't have the superior skills, how can you protect the spread of Buddhism in the world? What the poor monk wants to teach you is not the external skills of punching, kicking, swords and concealed weapons, but the superior internal skills. l0 Mr. Lu has seen his own way, has proven his true nature, and already has superior internal strength. The poor monk is just teaching you how to use the method to practice superior internal strength. You must have compassion and kindness in your heart. If you do not use Buddhism as the basis, you will definitely hurt yourself when practicing martial arts.

Only the more compassionate you are, the better you can practice. Lu Xingzhe is not only extremely intelligent, but also compassionate and compassionate. He is the best candidate to practice the formless Zen technique. Furthermore, you have seen your own nature and have internal strength. You can accept it with a little guidance from the poor monk. This skill comes naturally to you, so why should you think about learning or not?"

Huineng could not refuse, so he had to agree.

Every day during the day, he would sit and sift rice in the pounding house, and at night he would go to the woodshed to practice the formless Zen technique.

Half a month later, Huineng's hip injury recovered and he took the initiative to tie up the falling stone and work with the two fire workers to pound rice.

The old monk saw that Huineng was not only eager to learn, but also good at enlightenment. In a short period of time, he thoroughly understood all the essentials of formless Zen skills. He finally lived up to his teacher's trust.

On this day, Huineng went to the woodshed to study as scheduled. The confused monk explained to Huineng the essentials of using the Wuxiang Zen Kung Fu and the koan story of the eminent monk. After saying this, the fate of the Tao was exhausted, and he wandered away in the clouds.
