"People in the ancient times knew that life is coming and death is coming, so they acted from the heart and did not go against what nature wanted; the entertainment of the body was not going to go, so they were not persuaded by names. Traveling according to nature, not going against everything It is good, the name after death is not taken, so it is not subject to punishment. Fame comes first, and the number of years of life is not measured."

A few days later, Xiao Shiquan came to Tongtai Temple in the city, dressed in a plain white shirt like an ordinary scholar.From early summer to early summer, the vegetation is luxuriant, reflecting the high towers in the temple rising into the clouds, the buildings are scattered, and the incense is flourishing, creating a prosperous atmosphere.Even so, it was far less than one-tenth of the enthusiasm of the Uncovered Conference.

Xiao Shiquan couldn't help frowning when thinking of the bustling scene of the conference that lasted for more than two months.He entered the temple together with the faithful men and women, and instead of being greeted by the abbot, he walked to Huiliu's residence in the back hall.At this time, Master Huiliu was checking the translated scriptures. When he saw him coming, he put down his work.

"Why did His Royal Highness come to visit suddenly, before leaving without saying goodbye, it was impolite of the poor monk." Looking at the clothes on Xiao Shiquan's body, he smiled slightly.

"Masters don't need to be called like this outside the palace," Xiao Shiquan walked into the room: "You can call me by my name."

"Shiquan." Huiliu was not formal.

"After the farewell that day, did the mage rest well? I indulged myself." Xiao Shiquan greeted.

"It doesn't matter. Your Highness...Shiquan, how are you doing recently?" Huiliu seemed not used to such presumptuousness.

"Very good, very good. After consulting with the mage, I feel refreshed, my mind is unblocked, and even my insomnia has been relieved a lot." Xiao Shiquan laughed.

"That's right. Then why is Shiquan here today?" Huiliu frowned and smiled a little delicately.

"Naturally... Missing Master." Xiao Shiquan said and sat down by himself: "Master and I talked about Buddhism, Taoism, heaven and earth, and our hearts are connected. It's just that I have a lot of new distracting thoughts in the past few days. Master, help me solve my doubts." He seemed to be very sincere and said, his handsome face looked more refreshing against the white clothes.

"Is this Shiquan's plan to sacrifice his life here at Tongtai Temple?" Huiliu asked him with a smile: "Your Majesty's residence here when he became a monk is still well maintained."

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I can't become a monk. I can't fully understand it, I can't fully convert, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Buddhism. Why did Master Huiliu decide to become a monk?" Xiao Shiquan had been arguing with Huiliu before, but never and asked him personal questions.

"It is said that the poor monk lost his family when he was young, and was taken in by the monks of the monastery, but he was too young to remember clearly." Huiliu said calmly.

"That's how it is. The destiny cannot be violated. However, it is mentioned in Liezi Liming that knowing the fate and knowing the changes of things is the only way. What is safe is natural, and what is understood is self-understanding. It does not emphasize the destiny of heaven. It does not highlight human strength, but strikes a balance between the two. What do mages think?" Xiao Shiquan seemed to have found an entry point.

Huiliu said with a smile: "The Liming and Dasheng chapters in "Liezi" are all from the mouth of Yang Zhu. Liezi inherits Laozi's thought and enlightens Zhuangzi. He is quiet and open-minded, and he also agrees with Yang Zhu's theory. It is really thought-provoking. .”

"Yang Zhu's thought was despised by everyone like Mozi and Zhuangzi. There should be some misunderstandings. Unfortunately, after the Qin Emperor destroyed the book, many scriptures were unexamined. Unlike Buddhist scriptures, which spread widely regardless of national boundaries, translation annotations are also difficult. It's wonderful. But the mage hasn't answered my question yet?" Xiao Shiquan turned the topic back.

"The poor monk...is not avoiding and not answering. It's just that you can't answer simply." Huiliu said slowly: "We still have to start with Liezi. Liezi argues that things have no beginning and no end, that truth and illusion are indistinguishable, and dreams One body; so that all things are one. This kind of understanding is similar to Buddhism, and it leads to the same goal by different routes. Probably the highest truth in the world is always the same. However, if it is to resolve the suffering and attachment in the hearts of ordinary people, the threshold of Taoist philosophy is too high. Although Buddhism is preconceived There are many myths and metaphors, but it is relatively simple and intuitive to give people hope, to give equally, and to save all beings."

"I understand that the mage has also made his own choice. It's just that for people like me who often question everything, I only want to seek the absolute truth and the view of life and death. 'Those who are different from all things live, and those who are the same die. Life, let alone after death?' Birth is also suffering, and hard work is also joyful; it cannot be distinguished." Xiao Shiquan said this immediately, and he had already made up his mind.
