The western hills are rolling and the ancient temples are quiet. Stepping into the temple, the ancient trees are towering and lush, walking on the stone road, surrounded by monks in robes and good men and women who come to worship Buddha from time to time. "It is self-evident that the sky is clear and the dust is clear." There are all kinds of Zen couplets on the doorplates of the ancestral halls and temples in the temple. Passing through two doors, I saw a monk with glasses talking to the guests in the back room. There are some telephones and a laptop on the table outside, and a monk is answering the phone. After the monk asked the reporter about his purpose, he said, "There is this person, but he has been out these days." When the reporter asked about Liu Zhiyu's return, where he lived and whether he could see him, the monks were unclear.
At this time, another monk came to the monk's living area, calling himself "Xiandong" and practicing here two years ago. Xiandong said that Liu Zhiyu does practice medicine here, but at present he is just a layman. If he wants to formally convert to Buddhism, he usually has to wait two or three years. "The length of time depends on his personal understanding and nature." It is reported that lay people are different from monks. Laymen are not bound by Buddhist precepts, as long as they are sincere to Buddhism and follow its compassion.
Xiandong didn't know that Liu Zhiyu was a graduate of Peking University. "He has a good life here and carries out various activities with other practitioners every day." Xiandong said that Liu Zhiyu's parents had visited him in the temple. "Why did he make such a choice?" In the face of a reporter's question, Xiandong gave a gift in one hand: "Everything comes with fate."
When the idea of meeting Liu Zhiyu was put forward, the monk later said that Liu Zhiyu's message was "inconvenient to meet people". After a while, he said that Liu Zhiyu was "out". "Living in a temple, going to the temple every day, reading and working. Slowly, there will be less and less attention to gender. When you look at a person, you sometimes forget whether he is a man or a woman or his appearance, as if getting along with others is simplified to a simpler level. " This passage in an article written by Master Xian Qing in May, 20 10, Liu Zhiyu may be a footnote to his spiritual life. Liu Zhiyu is the former president of Peking University's "Farming and Reading Society", and Longquan Temple has a long history with this society. Deng Wenqing, a graduate student of philosophy department of Peking University in 2002, is also the founder of this society. After graduation, he became a monk here, and his parents also lived in a temple to study Buddhism. In the discussion area of "Peking University Unnamed Station", a schoolmate posted a post recalling his association with Liu Zhiyu, saying that Liu Zhiyu had asked him to hold a discussion class to help his classmates get out of the "misery". The post lamented: "Liu Zhiyu has one less senior and Xianyu has one more master."
According to his junior high school teacher, he has the habit of helping others since he was a child, with a very kind heart and excellent grades.
"Teacher Kong, teacher Meng, teach your apprentice. Disciples have always admired and made upward wishes. May indifference, loneliness and injury leave us far away, and may the brilliance of kindness, kindness, loyalty and wisdom spread all over the world. " This is a passage written by Liu Zhiyu to Zhou Wentao, a Chinese teacher in middle school.
"Zhiyu told me that recently he found that sometimes accounting is more beneficial, and he was a little uneasy. Zhiyu is a real person without self. But I was afraid that the issue of interests would become his burden, so I told him that the word "interests" in Zoey's debate on interests didn't mean interests ... But Zhiyu went on to say that when people pay attention to interests, people will care, which will lead to the division between things and me. "In March of 20 10, the diligent groundhog, who is also a member of Xisi Salon, recalled a conversation between him and Liu Zhiyu and wrote at the end:" The realm of intellectual life is still far above me. I distinguish between the unity of heaven and man and the separation of heaven and man according to different situations. This distinction still divides heaven and man into two parts. But Zhiyu believes that the unity of heaven and man is the basis of the separation of heaven and man. In other words, the unity of heaven and man is the body, and the separation of heaven and man is useful. "
