4. "Face the Wall for Nine Years" in Shaolin Temple is a false rumor, and only lived for three months. Explanation: 1. If Bodhidharma still lacks "nine years of facing the wall", he is not qualified to come to China at all. He should come to China after "nine years of facing the wall in India"! If Bodhidharma still lacks the "nine years of facing the wall", but he has the cheek to come to China to spread the Dharma, and even fill the shortage in the "nine years of facing the wall" in Shaolin Temple, it shows that he is a liar who deceives the world. 2. Even Master Huineng, a "peasant worker" who chopped wood, under the guidance of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren in the "Diamond Sutra" (breaking the wood and stepping on the scorpion for more than August), did not use "face the wall for nine years" to become "China". How could Bodhidharma need to face the wall for nine years? ! 3. Master Bodhidharma claimed to be the "Nantian Zhu Yicheng School" with the purpose of the four-volume "Langa Sutra" to spread the "Buddhist Heart School" of India's Zen. This Zen method of Bodhidharma was different from the various Zen studies practiced in northern China at that time, especially the Zen studies of the "Four Mindfulness-Based Method" of the Seng Chou family based on religious practice, and the contradictions and struggles were fierce. Seng Chou (479-560) practiced the Zen method centered on the "Four Mindfulness Method" that has long been popular in the north, while Bodhidharma practiced the Zen method of "breaking evil sects, manifesting Buddha nature, seeing one's nature and becoming Buddha" . 4. The Four Mindfulness-Based Methods: Observe the impurity of the body, the suffering of feeling, the impermanence of the mind, and the absence of self. These four "contemplations", the "order" is clear, and the object is clear. The delusional attachment of "nature", such a "Zen method" is the magic of "cultivation without evidence" (inability to realize clear mind and view of nature). Master Huineng's "Altar Sutra" is self-enlightened and self-enlightened, and there is no gradual change, so he does not establish all dharmas. When all dharmas die, what is the order? 5. Bodhidharma's Zen method is based on the sect of "breaking evil, manifesting the nature of the law, seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha", and "getting nothing to realize and enter the truth" (showing the probable demeanor of subduing demons and eliminating demons from nature) is the way to enter. Zen. Bodhidharma's Zen method, in addition to knowing what is "the law of inaction and the law of action, the boat and the other side, the mirror of the demon and the golden hoop rod", but also the words and deeds of "only pass on the law of nature, and be born in the world to break the evil sect". Indistinguishable from the Buddha". Such inheritance of "Buddha's Heart Seal" has been called by "Knowledge Apostles and Demon Sons and Demons" as only "sharp weapons" can be received; for "the Demon Sons and Demons who slander the Buddha and destroy the Dharma", it is true that "reason is difficult to understand". Pass". 6. In the face of Dharma's incompatibility, not only other Zen schools oppose Dharma Chan, but even scholars of literature "do not despise it". From this, it can be seen that the situation of Bodhidharma at that time was without a place to stand. The Shaolin Temple, led by Seng Chou and his disciples, would not allow Bodhidharma to "face the wall for nine years" in the Shaolin Temple. Three months after Bodhidharma went to Shaolin Temple, and when people learned about Bodhidharma's meditation method, the question of whether Bodhidharma went or stayed became obvious.
