Seeking articles: Water Margin and Buddhism ~ There are four rewards.

There are "three buddhas" in the water margin.

Buddha III is the main worship object of Mahayana Buddhism. According to Indian philosophy, time and space are confused, so there are vertical and horizontal differences between Buddhism and Buddhism. Hengsan Buddha refers to the oriental pharmacist Wang Buddha, who is in charge of the oriental glazed light world. He has two threats, the sun shines on the Buddha and the moon shines on the Buddha. The central Buddha Sakyamuni is in charge of the world of central concubines. He has two threatened followers, Manjusri Bodhisattva with great wisdom and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva with great power. The western Buddha Amitabha is in charge of the western paradise. He has two followers, namely "brave" and "compassionate" avalokitesvara. The vertical three buddhas refer to the past Buddha burning lamps, the present Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha and the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha.

"If you meet the forest, you will be rich. If you meet the mountain, you will move. If you meet the state, you will stop." These four sentences are Lu's conclusion on life:

"Lin" refers to Lin Chong, "Mountain" refers to Erlong Mountain, and "Jiang" refers to Song Jiang. These four sentences refer to the meeting with Lin Chong after arriving in Tokyo, and the capture of Erlang Mountain, as well as the meeting of Sanshan hero and hero in Qingzhou, and the return after meeting with Song Jiang. It is clear that "when it meets water, it will flourish, but when it meets the river, it will stop". Lu will perish together with Song Jiang in the water margin.

Another way of saying it: The "III Buddha" in the Water Margin refers to Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Wutai Mountain is Manjusri Bodhisattva Dojo.

The rise of the forest: when you meet the forest, there will be fighting. Korean pine forest, Linchong, wild pig forest, Wan pine forest, Lin Lang mountain pine forest.

When you meet a mountain, you will get rich: when you meet a mountain, you will have wealth and good luck. Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Wulongling and Lin Lang.

Prosperity in case of water: Prosperity in case of water. Liangshan, Shui Bo.

Move when you meet a state: when you meet a state, there will be great changes. Qingzhou was returned to Shui Bo, Huazhou was captured and rescued, and Hangzhou died.

Stop by the river: stop by the river. Sung River, Qiantang River.

When it comes to "The Water Margin", everyone's mind will immediately see the majestic posture of a hundred singles and eight generals. They are tall or short, fat or thin, ugly or handsome, and so on. But everyone has his own unique personality characteristics and deeds, so that it is no longer a rigid symbol on paper, but a smart image in people's hearts, which will never be erased.

Shanlu is probably the most popular image among Liangshan heroes. His naivety, even a little childish, won him a lot of popularity. Lu is a straight man. He never keeps anything to himself. He says what he has to say. His personality is very simple. He loves happily and hates thoroughly. He saved the women of Jin Cuilian on his third appearance. He has nothing to do with those two people, but he helped them generously because the road was rough. Now he takes out five taels of silver and borrows it from Shi Jin and Jong Li. Shi Jin took out twelve Liang. And only took out two beams. Shen Zhi didn't give Jong Li face, just because he was Shi Jin's master. He only gave fifteen taels to Jin Lao and twenty taels of silver to Jong Li, saying, "You are also a bad man." Jong Li felt humiliated, but none of the readers thought he had done something wrong. Instead, he thought it was a way to treat such a stingy person. Since then, he has become synonymous with meanness in Lu's mind and is no longer respected by him, but Shi Jin has always had a good friendship with him. This is happy love, complete hate. Not only he but also the readers are infected, and there is a wave of heroism in their hearts.

Such a generous person is unwilling to lead a wandering life. After killing Kansai Town with three punches, he went into exile in Wutai Mountain and became a monk. Finally, he got a temporary residence. However, it didn't take long for him to be "introduced" to Suoguo Temple because he was drunk and made a scene in Wutai Mountain, and he was retaliated by Gao Taiwei because he saved Lin Chong in the wild pig forest, so he had to wander the world again. The vast world, where is home? Even if you are generous, you will be a little disappointed. There is a particularly good lyric in "Parasitic Grass": "Cry heroes' tears and leave Chu Shi's house. Xie was merciful and shaved under the lotus stage, and there was no way to separate in an instant. Naked people come and go and don't care. Every shoe will break if you ask for a single smoke rainbow. "It turns out that everyone needs a quiet harbor so that wandering souls can rely on it.

Speaking of the first person in Liangshan martial arts, it must be Lin Chong. Leopard head, Lin Chong, there is momentum in it. Lin Chong is quite controversial. People who like him can find many advantages of him, such as high martial arts and generosity. People who don't like him only spit out two words: cowardice! Indeed, Lin Chong is a little weak. His wife was molested by Gao Yanei and he put up with it. He was set up by Gao Qiu. He forbeared, and was almost hurt by the escort's forbearance on the way to stab Cangzhou. He also put up with it. Some people say that this is his worldly wisdom. "How can people not bow their heads under the eaves?" He is just an 800,000 imperial gun coach, not an ordinary coach. The highest-ranking officers are only junior officers. What can he do to compete with the hot Gao Taiwei? So he endured it again and again. Who knows this is not his illusion before revenge? But I prefer to believe that this is a manifestation of his deep-seated attitude towards the house and carefree.

Lin Chong is a good husband. He takes good care of his wife. Because he loves her and is afraid of delaying her youth, he divorced her. The depth of love, the pain of cutting, a divorce, every word made him heartache, but he had no regrets about his wife. Lin Chong is a good friend. It is only possible that his friend betrayed him, and he would never betray his friend. That's why he was framed by Lu Qian. But it is precisely because of this that he will make the best friend in his life-Lu. When two people met only once in the vegetable garden of Dasuoguo Temple, it became a friendship between life and death, because both of them found a point of convergence with each other in the depths of their souls, which may be the mutual appreciation between heroes. Even to strangers, Lin Chong is a good man. He helped Li Xiaoer avoid the lawsuit. He couldn't bear to kill an innocent passerby as a warlord who took refuge in Liangshan. When he and Cangzhou were stabbed, Li Xiaoer and his wife often helped him. When he was helpless because he couldn't make friends with warlords, it happened that Yang Zhi, a green-faced beast, came. This may be just a coincidence, but I prefer to believe that good people are rewarded.

Lin's Snow Mountain Temple is one of the most classic fragments in Water Margin. Even when Lin arrived in Cangzhou, he was still doing his duty, waiting for himself to get out of prison so that he could return to the capital Tokyo to reunite with his family. But contrary to expectations, Gao Taiwei never let him go. Even if he is sent to Cangzhou, he should be killed quickly. Fortunately, God bless the good people, and the heavy snow crushed the straw house, so that Lin Chong escaped. When he heard the dialogue between Chad, Fuan and Lu Qian, he couldn't stand it any longer. After all, Lin Chong is also a bloody person. Lin Chong seems to have a string in his heart. The more he gives in, the tighter the rope becomes. Finally, the string broke, and now he has nothing to worry about and can't give in any more. When he put a sharp knife into Liu's heart, he knew that he could only do the opposite. Since then, I have embarked on the road of using my body to fight against the Da Song Dynasty. He didn't want to do this at first, but it's a pity that he can't turn back. There is heavy snow and fire. A person, a gun, a hat, two lines on the snow accompanied by the footprints of the north wind, leaving people endless desolation and helplessness.

If Lin Chong is a great man and a good man, I can't think of a word to describe it. Comparatively speaking, Lu is like a Buddha and Lin Chong is like a saint, but more like a person, an ordinary citizen.

Song Wu always wanted to live an ordinary life like ordinary people. However, it is doomed to be out of touch with the fate of stars. I thought it was a shop fraud, so I went to Song Wu leisurely in Jingyanggang, but I didn't expect to meet a tiger. Man's potential is infinite, so a big tiger was really killed by Song Wu with his bare hands. In normal times, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the courage to fight tigers. What a coincidence! Song Wu, the tiger killer, is a household name in the Jianghu. So that Li Kui jy angered and killed four tigers, which was also a disadvantage of three points. Song Wu was funded by the magistrate of a county in yanggu county and became the captain of the infantry. Originally, he was satisfied, and if he behaves well in the future, he may be able to go to the second or third grade. Then land, get married, have children and die in a famous place. But at this time, he happened to meet the woman who changed his life-Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian is not a dissolute woman, otherwise she would not refuse that big family. He just wants to marry the person he likes and live a normal life. It's a pity that she has a crush on her brother-in-law Song Wu. Song Wu may not be indifferent to Pan Jinlian. Some people say that Song Wu is divorced from reality. If so, why did he marry Zhang Dujian's adopted daughter Yulan? Magnolia is worse than Pan Jinlian. The problem is that Pan Jinlian is his sister-in-law, and there is an ethical gap between them, which Song Wu can't overcome anyway. This is the reason why Song Wu flatly rejected her. This indirectly led to her hooking up with Ximen Qing. This is not Song Wu's fault. It's just that he can't be the head of his martial arts anymore. Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing poisoned Wu Dalang, pushing Song Wu to the forefront. This damn man must take action. I don't know what he was thinking when he spat a sharp knife at Pan Jinlian's chest. My brother was poisoned by my sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law who poisoned my brother killed herself. His only two family members left him like this. Who told Wu CanErlang about the sorrow in his heart? Even after doing such a big thing, his carefree personality has not changed. He accepted the crime and became his prisoner after being stabbed in Mengzhou. Then, he became Jin Yanbiao's friend and helped him defeat Jiang Menshen and recapture the happy forest. But I didn't expect that this made it impossible for him to be a prisoner safely. Before long, Zhang Dujian took him in, attached great importance to him, and betrothed his adopted daughter Yulan to him. Just as he was immersed in the dream of a bright future, the fate of the wild silkworm star played a cruel trick on him again. Zhang Dujian's gratitude turned out to be just to frame him. When he killed fifteen people in a rage, his heart was cold; His blood, cold; His dream, broken. When he became a fugitive, he didn't make many appearances, and some appeared as a cold-faced killer. Song Wu, the heroic tiger killer, stayed in Jingyanggang forever. This is exactly:

A water margin, Liangshan has feelings. The uprising is called brothers, and heroism is so great.

Recruit the south and the north, and every soul will return to heaven. Fame will last forever, one hundred and eight.

"Water Margin" suddenly realized that this book is "advocating Taoism and restraining Buddhism". I don't know if it's right. Let's give a few examples to prove it.

Let's look at Taoism first:

First, the birth of the emperor was caused by the world. Song Taizu is a thunderbolt fairy from the upper bound, and Song Renzong is a barefoot fairy from the upper bound. Immortals are fabricated by Taoism. As for the lower bound of Song Huizong, The Water Margin has no explanation. And Song Huizong is an emperor who worships Taoism. "Water Margin" did not explain this, which should be an omission.

Second, the founder of Taoism is profound. When the plague was prevalent in Song Taizong, the court sent personnel to invite Zhang Zhenren, the founder of Longhushan Road in Xinzhou, Jiangxi Province (whether Zhang Sanfeng? ) I prayed and practiced Buddhism for seven days, and the plague disappeared. Why didn't you see the monk come out to eliminate the disaster?

Third, Song Jiang and other generals 108 are all demons. After they came to the world, they put loyalty and righteousness first and repeatedly violated the king's law, but in the end they all accepted the court, appointed officials and sealed their wives and children. After his death, he got the imperial edict from the Yellow Emperor, and was allowed to build temples, make statues and accept sacrifices from the people.

Fourth, Sung River was protected by Xuan Nv for nine days and given three volumes of gobbledygook. Nine days later, Xuan Nv awarded Xuan Nv to help him solve the secret of the Liao army's Taiyi mixed sky array. Jiutian Xuan Nv first appeared in Shu Wei in Han Dynasty. This book fictionalizes a story about Xuan Nv helping Huangdi to break Chiyou for nine days. Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, compiled the Biography of Xuan Nv in nine days. He clearly regarded Xuan Nv for nine days as a Taoist fairy, and his position was very high. He is "the teacher of the Yellow Emperor and the disciple of Yuan Jun, the golden mother". With her protection, how could Song Jiang be invincible?

Let's look at Buddhism again:

First, monks are all bad things. The Water Margin paraphrased Su Dongpo's words, "No baldness, no toxicity, no baldness, no toxicity, no baldness", which is a malicious mockery of monks. However, Su Dongpo had many contacts with monks in his life, the most interesting of which was Su Dongpo's contact with Fo Yin Zen Master. It is said that when Su Dongpo worked in Guazhou, he was separated from Jinshan Temple where Fo Yin lived by a river. Su Dongpo sighed, "the first day is in the sky, and the light is shining; Eight winds can't blow, sit on the purple lotus. " The "Eight Winds" are called, satirized, destroyed, praised, benefited, declined, bitter and happy. It shows that he meditates deeply and is not influenced by secular comments. He sent his son to Jackson Fo Yin. After reading it, the Zen master approved two words on it: "Fart!" Su Dongpo read the comment on writing and was furious. He crossed the river by boat himself and confessed. The Zen master said, didn't you say that "the eight winds can't blow"? Why did you hit Jiang Lai with a fart? Su Dongpo felt ashamed after hearing this. It seems that Su Dongpo's words quoted in Water Margin are just his temporary banter. "Water Margin" also said, "One word is a monk, the second word is a monk, the third word is a ghost music palace, and the fourth word is a hungry ghost." Not only that, the Water Margin also made a special explanation. Of all the people in the world, only monks are the most erotic. Because they are full of food and drink, idle and bored, they are inevitably lonely and eager to get angry. Secular people are hard to be idle. Rich people have a lot of work, but their minds are hard to decide. Even if they have beautiful wives and concubines in the same bed, it is difficult to have fun. As for ordinary people, they worry about daily necessities, and even if their wives are somewhat attractive, they are not interested. This kind of analysis can best reflect the characteristics of street literature, and it doesn't pretend to hide people's sexual instinct like A Dream of Red Mansions. Yes, when Guan Suo Yang Xiong's family was doing the Dojo, all the monks saw that his beautiful wife had turned into a pig, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed and forgot all the Buddhist meditation. This is a terrible word and an annoying description. I'm afraid even Taoist priests will be angry when they see it. "One Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven." We can also notice that the theory of human nature of this kind of street literature is completely different from that of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties, which occupies the mainstream position in the upper class. The latter advocates "preserving justice and destroying human desires."

Secondly, when Lu went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, the first monk and other monks objected, thinking that this man described himself as fierce and did not look like a monk. But Elder Zhizhen told his disciples that he was a star-studded man and that he would have a fruitful future. Later, when Song Jiang led Lu to Wutai Mountain to pay homage, Elder Zhizhen saw Lu and said, "It is not easy to kill a disciple and set fire to it for several years." Lu was silent, and Song Jiang made a rounder for him. Later, as his master said, he sat in the Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou. After his death, the court gave him a legal number. It seems that becoming a Buddha is predestined in previous lives and has nothing to do with personal practice. It is not only unnecessary for Buddhists who advocate gradual enlightenment, but also unnecessary for Nanzong Zen who advocates epiphany. The southern Sect of Zen once believed that it was not necessary to practice hard for a long time, nor to study Buddhist teachings, but only to understand it now. Even a person full of evil can "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha." The story of Lu in Water Margin tells people that you can become a Buddha without putting down your butcher's knife. In this way, Buddhism ended.
