Chapter 5 The Catastrophic Path of Buddhism
The next day, Aoyamaji Temple.
After coming back last night, Yuan Yin had already placed Xiu Gu in the room and checked the pulse.
Xiu Gu just fainted because of the impact, and there was no big problem. But he was afraid that there would be any more anomalies, so he moved a futon and waited outside the door.
After Master Diyi came back, he listened to Yuan Yin's report, nodded, and asked the other brothers to rest, and he took Jin Luo, who was still unconscious, back to the meditation room alone.
At this time, the brothers and sisters all got up. Suddenly, there was a "squeak", Xiugu's door opened, she rubbed her eyes, saw Yuan Yin, and called out vaguely "Senior Brother". As if remembering something, he asked, "Senior brother, why are you at the door of my room, what happened to me last night?"
"If you don't remember, it's fine. It's okay, you were just scared by a wind and fainted, and I was a little worried, so I meditated here. Yuan Yin said casually.
"Oh. Xiu Gu replied softly, then tilted her head, and said, "What about this dead boy Yifeng, see if I don't clean you up!"
Yuan Yin saw that Xiu Gu had nothing to do overnight, so he nodded to himself and came to the stone pier at the entrance of the temple to practice meditation.
The other brothers also came to the stone pier to practice one after another, Xiu Gu carried Yifeng's ears, Yifeng was inexplicable, and had to beg for mercy and walked over, and then listened to Yuan Yin's words, did not continue to fight, sat down and practiced.
Only the third stone pier was empty.
It is the rule of Qingshan Temple to practice meditation in the morning, and after practicing the meditation method for an hour, you will start to have breakfast and do morning classes, and start other practices of the day.
The temple doesn't attach much importance to things like morning classes or chanting, but there are two constant rules for the senior brother to teach the other disciples to practice the meditation method, and for the brothers to supervise each other's cultivation.
At this moment, they closed their eyes and let the spiritual energy in their bodies gush out from the dantian, running around the tendons and veins of the whole body, running large and small Zhoutian, and pouring into the divine court through the acupuncture points such as the Heavenly Pillar, the Jade Garden, and the Baihui. After a week of operation, they meditated and felt the surging spiritual power nourish their bodies.
The Pure Land of the Divine Court, located in the human head, can only be detected with divine sense, and is the most important place in the body of a person who practices Buddhism and Taoism.
"Yifeng, you come with me. ”
Master Diyi appeared behind the stone pier at some point. The brothers opened their eyes together, turned their heads to look, Xiu Gu's black eyes turned twice on the master and Yifeng, and then stared at Yifeng and secretly chuckled, "Wait to be punished, dead boy!"
"Oh. Yifeng touched his head speechlessly, jumped off the stone pier, and followed behind the master, Master Diyi took a step and walked towards the Futu Pagoda in the southwest corner of the temple, and behind him was the mountain behind Qingshan Temple.
"Yifeng, do you know how much training we have to go through in cultivation?" Slowly stepping out of the line of sight of the senior brothers, and began to walk into the back mountain, Master Diyi asked lightly in front of him.
"Oh, Master, I know, Senior Brother taught us and told us to practice diligently, improve our spiritual power, and achieve positive results. Although I don't know why Master suddenly asked this, Yifeng still answered obediently.
"Well, that's not bad. However, this alone is far from encompassing the hardships of our path to Buddhahood. Master walked to the Futu Pagoda, but did not stop, turned around and walked towards the back mountain.
Yifeng felt that the master was very strange today, but it was difficult to ask, so he had to follow the master step by step.
"The road to Buddhism is long, and it requires not only penance, but also chance. ”
Venerable Diyi said as he walked, "The path of cultivation in Buddhism is to continue to cultivate and accumulate the aura of heaven and earth. Spiritual power is like water, the whole body flows, nourishes the body, and prolongs life.
"The spiritual power has been accumulated to a certain extent, and the place of hiding the spirit has been opened up in the dantian. According to the size of the spiritual power that can be accommodated, the place of the Tibetan spirit is divided into three levels: Ziquan, Yuchi, and Buddha Sea, and the number of spiritual power stored in each level is very different.
"At the same time, cultivating the exercises, turning away spiritual power, will also cultivate the body of limbs, with the intention of consolidating the limit of the body's ability to withstand spiritual power. If the body can't withstand too much spiritual power, the path of cultivation will stop there. The slightest deviation may lead to physical rupture and damage, or even loss of life. ”
Yifeng could hear it behind the master, he only knew how to follow the senior brother to practice meditation, and he noticed that the spiritual power of the whole body surged, and the limbs seemed to be infused with powerful power, and he could jump several zhang high, a few zhang away, and he could also punch a tree crookedly, even a few hundred catties of stone locks in the practice field could be easily lifted.
But he never thought about where these powers came from, how much of them belonged to him, and how much of this power his body could bear.
There are still many things in his cultivation path that are unknown.
At this moment, the master and apprentice had gradually gone deep into the back mountain in the west, but the master had no intention of stopping, and continued to tell the story: "Cultivating the physique is just to build a foundation for the path of seeking Buddha, and the real cultivation is far more than that.
"There is a pure land in the divine court, and all things are born in meditation. To practice Buddhism, we must constantly comprehend the Dharma and comprehend the Dharma, and then we will breed wisdom roots in our bodies.
"Every person who practices Buddhism and Taoism has a place in his head called the Pure Land of the Divine Garden, and if there is a Buddha's fate, Huigen will be born in the Pure Land.
"And having a wisdom root is a sign that a person can practice the path of Buddhism, and it is also the beginning of his path to Buddhahood.
"Then, those who practice the Buddha Tao can run different exercises, mobilize the spiritual power of the dantian, and cultivate the wisdom roots, so that they can continue to grow. When the roots of wisdom sprout and grow, they will purify and purify their spiritual power and feed back their own cultivation.
"When the root grows stronger, the Bodhi tree is cultivated in the pure land of the divine court, and the Buddha fruit is born, and the soul is cultivated into a human form at this moment, and the enlightenment is under the Bodhi tree. ”
"This is the general appearance of our path of cultivating Buddhism. ”
Yifeng followed the master in a daze, and fell deeply into the master's explanation just now.
"Do you know how many realms there are in Buddhism cultivation?" Master Diyi turned around, and Yifeng was still thinking about it, and almost bumped into him.
Yifeng was taken aback, stopped his body, and looked at Master Diyi with ignorant eyes.
"For the teacher, I asked you how many realms there are in the cultivation of Buddhism. Master Diyi gently touched Yifeng's little bald head.
"Oh, I've heard Senior Brother say that it seems to be the three realms of Hinayana and Jade Hinayana and Mahayana, but just now Master you said that there are also three realms of Ziquan, Yuchi and Buddha Sea, I, I'm a little confused. ”
Yifeng also touched his bald head, a little prickly, it was time to go to the third senior brother to shave his head. Then I thought that the third senior brother was still unconscious, and I was a little sad and worried.
Master patted him on the shoulder, as if to see through his thoughts, and gently comforted him.
"You used to like to follow Jin Luo to fetch water in the mountain stream, so I'll use the analogy of fetching water to you!"
"The so-called exercises are actually flat poles and buckets, which are tools for carrying water. Heaven and earth aura is the water we need to drink. When we brought the water back, we had to fill it with a water tank, right? The Zi Spring, the Jade Pond and the Buddha Sea are three water tanks from small to large.
"If we use a small tank to fill water, we call it the Hinayana realm, and if we use the middle tank to fill water, we call it the Jade realm, and if we use the largest tank to fill water, that is the Mahayana realm.
"And the so-called supernatural powers, that is, we use the water we pick back, wash vegetables, cook rice, and steam steamed buns, which are all kinds of supernatural powers, with different effects and uses.
"In addition, when we use water, we also need to use a scoop to scoop water, and this scoop is also a tool, so when we use our magical powers, we still need to use exercises. ”
"Do you understand?"
"Ah, understood!" Yifeng's heart suddenly brightened, nodded, combined with what the master said just now, he thought about it and said: "The most important thing for us is not to wash vegetables and cook rice and steam steamed buns with water, that is just an ordinary function." The real function of water is to nourish the wisdom roots in our body, that Divine Court Pure Land, so that we can truly grow up, and our cultivation and realm will be improved, right, Master?"
There was a look of joy in the eyes of the flute mage, and he nodded happily.
"However, Senior Brother is so powerful, it's only in the Hinayana realm?" Yifeng muttered a little unwillingly.
"Haha, childish!" the flute mage shook his head and smiled.
"Do you know how many people can't even enter the Buddha Gate? In the fourteen states of the Great Wu Kingdom, tens of thousands of people, even if most of them pass on the exercises to them and practice for a hundred years, they will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, let alone store and cultivate spiritual power, cultivate into a sub-spring, and achieve the Hinayana realm.
"Everyone who can practice the Dharma must have cultivation qualifications, Huigen, that is, the cultivation qualifications of our Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, must also have corresponding cultivation qualifications.
"But no matter which one you have, among mortals, almost all of them are one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand. That's why the number of cultivators is so small. Your senior brother's Hinayana realm is already a precious opportunity that countless people can encounter but cannot seek!"
Yifeng nodded in amazement, with him now, it was really difficult to imagine the appearance of the cultivation world of the entire Great Martial Kingdom.
Seeing that Yifeng's comprehension was so high, Venerable Diyi became interested and continued to say with interest: "There are Qiankun in the Hinayana realm, and there are also high and low.
"In the Hinayana realm, the spiritual power of the Dharma is infused into the body to exert a power that is different from ordinary people, which is the small realm of 'Buddha power';
"Spiritual power becomes qi, pulls out of the body, and draws qi back to the source, which is the realm of 'Buddha qi';
"The spiritual power gives birth to light, the Buddha's light is hidden, the spiritual power is operated, and the halo in the body circulates to form a great Buddha power, which is the realm of Buddha's light, and the supernatural power is on a higher level. It is also the realm of Buddhism where your second senior brother Fire Monkey, third senior brother Jin Luo, and fourth senior brother Shuli are located.
"As for the higher and deeper Jade Vehicle, and even the Mahayana realm, as a teacher, I can only sigh with admiration. ”
Master Diyi sighed and continued walking.
Yifeng nodded unconsciously and said, "Oh, it turns out that Little Senior Sister and I are still in the Buddha Power Realm!" He suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Master is so powerful, can't he cultivate the Jade Vehicle?"
Master Diyi's face was calm, as if he had already seen through this, and said, "Everyone has different temperaments and different talents, some people stop when they cultivate to the realm of Buddha power, and some people cultivate to the realm of Buddha energy, although they are full of spiritual energy, it is difficult to improve.
"In addition, everyone's development is different, and the potential for improvement is different. The type of spiritual power that each person's Ziquan can provide and the power contained in it are different, and the speed of Huigen's growth is different. And once the root is not nourished, it will wither or even disappear.
Therefore, some people will stay in the Hinayana realm of Buddha qi or even Buddha power realm for the rest of their lives, and Ziquan will become a dead spring, and the aura will dissipate one day until the body dies. This is the so-called 'Buddha is destined for people'. ”
Master Diyi praised the Buddha in his mouth and sighed.
"In addition, anyone who sets foot on cultivation will definitely be robbed in this life, and only after crossing the tribulation can he break through the realm, continue to cultivate, and reach a higher realm. In Buddhism, there are three major calamities, one wind, you are talented, I am afraid that it is difficult to escape. ”
