Master Dejian said that he was glad that he could inherit the essence of Zen Wushu medicine in Shaolin Temple in such a peaceful and prosperous time. He knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders. Whenever he encounters difficulties and is confused, he should cherish this hard-won thing, carry it forward and pass it on. He told reporters: At the same time, Wu Nanfang, Wu's great grandson, got the true story of Shaolin Wushu. He is a disciple of Shaolin laity. He studied martial arts with his second master, Wu Youde, since childhood, and was handed down by his family. Later, he studied with Zhang Qinghe. Mountain monks who eat grass
Since 1992, Dejian has often stayed in san huang Zhai, the lower house of Shaolin Temple, in order to learn more about what he has learned. The altitude is as high as 1300 meters, and there is a no-man's land of 4 kilometers nearby. It is located at the southern foot of Shaoshi Mountain, 8 kilometers away from Shaolin Temple, and it is a dangerous scene in Songshan National Forest Park. At the edge of a cliff at the commanding height of Sanhuangzhai, there is a cave 10 meters square, which was named "Longyang Cave" by Dejian, and this is also the place where he often closes. There are Buddhist niches, Buddha statues, Zen beds and Zen seats in the cave. The cave walls are hung with human veins and acupoints commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. The most striking thing is a pair of couplets on both sides of the shrine. The first part is "all laws are empty and belong to the sea", and the second part is "spotless and Zen". The cliff bank in front of the cave is where he practiced martial arts.
Pythons and animals often haunt the cliff opposite the cave, and the herbs and flowers of Dejian are often eaten by groups of naughty squirrels. On one side of the cave, there is a natural stone Buddha standing on the wall. The hat is pleated, and the eyes, ears, nose and mouth are clearly distinguishable. Over the years, Dejian has been living a life of near seclusion. He is familiar with everything here, and he likes the simple interpersonal relationship here. Wild birds, trees, flowers and rocks are his closest companions, and he thinks this is his real home. Seriously, even during the day, reporters dare not stay alone in this cave, and Zen master Dejian often practices here day and night.
There are also two monks in san huang Village who practiced here since childhood-Shi Yongyue, 85, and Zen Master Shi Yong Lian, 76. They are the 33rd generation disciples of Shaolin Temple and the disciples of Xing Zheng Zen Master. Up to now, it is still a combination of agriculture and Zen, working hard and complaining, which is quite a legacy of the Tang Dynasty Baizhang Huaihai Zen master's "one day without work, one day without food". Zen master Dejian praised them as "models of monks and nuns". Because the Zen advocated by Dejian is "life Zen", that is, everything you say, do and think in daily life is "Zen", and the key depends on how you feel it with your heart. De Jian said that he was deeply moved by Mr. Zhao Puchu's words: advocating human Buddhism, enlightening wisdom and purifying people's hearts. There is a sentence in Mr. Park's poem about Shaolin Temple: "Zen is not a boxing". De Jian believes that Shaolin Kung Fu is not only a formal performance, but also an internal cultivation and enlightenment. Zen and martial arts are inseparable. It is the spiritual and cultural heritage of Shaolin masters in past dynasties, and it is also a superb art. You should experience it with your heart. Any thought and behavior of quick success and instant benefit will make Shaolin treasures lose their luster. He advocated that "the world is public" and should carry forward the fine clan style of Shaolin for the benefit of human society. "But to measure people, you need to measure yourself first. Self-awareness and self-cultivation are not perfect. How can you benefit others? " De Jian said that it is said that the founder of Chandharma spent nine years in Shaolin. He didn't ask us to face the wall like that, but left a spirit and will to enlighten people and let them live a happier and more perfect life. Zen master Dejian likes to say that he is a "lonely Buddhist" and a "mountain monk who eats grass", because "Zen machine lies in since the enlightenment", and it is his sacred mission to think about and understand what he has learned, truly "digest" what he has learned and pass it on to Shaolin descendants. In a scenic tourist area like Shaolin Temple, staying in the temple is too "happy". Going up the mountain to "eat grass" and getting in touch with nature will touch his inspiration and make him feel something from time to time. He said: "Shaolin Temple is a rich family, and Sanhuangzhai is a clean family." Obviously, the simple Dejian prefers life in the mountains, and this quiet valley is also an excellent place for him to practice martial arts. Speaking of "eating", in the eyes of ordinary people, his diet is extremely low, almost "self-abuse", but Dejian enjoys himself. He said that he was a monk, and all the monasteries in China were vegetarian. Shaolin monks are no exception. They must be monks, vegetarians and celibate. A light diet helps him meditate and practice martial arts. Whenever someone asks about his diet "what to do if it lacks nutrition", he always answers with a smile. His red face and bright eyes are silently explaining this "no". De Jian believes that strong smell is a kind of harm to people. His dishes only need a little salt and vegetable oil. He not only likes a simple and light diet, but also often warns other people's friends to eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains, which is good for their health. Dejian is deeply saddened by people's bad habits of eating wild animals. As early as 200 1, CCTV Sports Channel filmed the first, second and third episodes of the documentary "De Jian" and broadcast them in the column of "titan sports". I remember at the end of the film, when talking about topics such as "protecting wild animals", De Jian said: "-They were alive and well, why were they killed? Why-kill them and eat their meat! They are dead and should be buried. Then, they are also good fertilizers and can grow good crops. " In a sense, De Jian is a wildlife protector. He likes Bai Juyi's poem best: "The lives of a group of people who don't know how to live are tiny. They are as thin as bones. I advise you not to shoot big branches. My son is waiting in the nest for his mother to come back. " He believes that people should be kind to themselves, first of all, be kind to all their friends, including wild animals. Master Dejian, who was reading a book on the road in Wan Li, said that in recent years, some countries in Europe and America have been looking for the significance of Zen Wushu and Shaolin health preservation. Just a few days ago, he sent away two German scholars. Italy and other countries have also made some documentaries named after Zen. A French institution once hired him to teach Shaolin Wushu in Paris at a high salary. The Japanese also invited him to give lectures and preside over monasteries in Japan, but he refused one by one. He said that as a monk, he is not suitable for any business activities and groups. He can't live without China and Shaolin Temple. Since last year, China and Hong Kong Buddhists hope Dejian will go to Hong Kong and become the abbot of a temple. After careful consideration, Dejian refused. He said that his heart is in the Central Plains, in Shaolin ... Southeast Asia, especially in Japan and South Korea, and his passion for Zen Wushu has a long history. 1998165438+10. In October, Master Dejian went to Japan with the relevant departments of Henan provincial government to discuss and exchange Shaolin Wushu. He showed the traditional and rare martial arts of Shaolin Temple to the Japanese "Shaolin Alliance", thus dispelling some doubts of Japanese Zen martial arts circles about Shaolin traditional martial arts and further deepening his understanding of Shaolin traditional culture. Subsequently, the Japanese side went to Shaolin Temple twice for talks and filmed two documentaries. Zen master Dejian visited many countries with fate. As a China native and a Shaolin disciple, he felt proud and responsible, and he never regretted his original choice. A monk from Shaolin Temple told reporters: "It is rare for a master like De Jian to be a man. He can achieve something, but he is not suitable for today's economy and society. " Dejian is free to treat others and teach his disciples. Many people at home and abroad wanted to give him money, cars and religious status, but he didn't accept it. He thinks he is a monk who is studying. He can meet the needs of daily life materially, and there is no end to the pursuit and enlightenment of Zen martial arts culture and art. In the gap of self-improvement, he extends a kind hand to relieve the pain for the predestined friends and do something for the society, which makes him feel practical. He believes that helping others will bring happiness and kindness can help others. Buddhism pays attention to "no compassion, no sorrow in the same body." He said that compassion is the realm of Buddha and Bodhisattva. As an ordinary person, all he can have and believe is kindness. Zen master Dejian said that Zen is natural, incomprehensible, unspeakable, non-literal, non-literal, that is, the so-called "teaching others, initiated by the heart." Life, sitting, talking and doing things, everything in daily life is full of Zen machines. Zen machine is an air-moving machine. You should be calm and harmonious, do everything calmly and live a good day. Calm your mind and body, be just without desire, and you will be free. As the old saying goes, "Take Wan Li Road and read thousands of books." Zen master Dejian believes that it is enough to read "a book" well in a limited life course! There is no way to go, so cherish every minute. Speak, say a realm, do things, and do them thoroughly. When you realize something from everything you say in your daily life, don't say that word, "Zen can't be said, once you say it, it will be broken." Dejian has several catchphrases, such as "immediate steps", "everything follows fate", "impermanence, impermanence" and so on. The pure land Sect in Buddhism pays attention to the "western paradise", and Zen master Dejian said, where is the western paradise? In front of your eyes, at your feet! Every step in front of you determines the direction of life. Stepping out of the front foot is the accumulation of life choices and the boundary between heaven and hell. For him, since he chose Shaolin's Zen martial arts doctor, he knows how to go every step. To this end, he is destined to give up many, many things that ordinary people dream of. He said that he would spend his whole life studying the masterpieces of Shaolin Zen medicine, and he would always become a monk in the state of learning, because there is no end to learning. The interview is over. It's a pity that during the interview for several days, I have never seen Zen master Dejian's "Boxing Kung Fu" with my own eyes. Continuous shooting's request for a photo of Zhang Wuda was also rejected on the grounds that it was "too fake". De Jian's explanation for this is: "The opportunity has not arrived, and it is unstoppable." Besides, Buddhism has precepts. Sakyamuni said: it is not my disciple who shows his magical powers. He asked his disciples to follow the fate. Zen master Dejian sent reporters eight words "at the foot of the eye" and "peace of mind and purity of body".
