(Thank you for the reward and evaluation votes of "Passing Away - Solo Dance", thank you for the reward support of Yuda, "Hardcore Crisis" is good! )

"Master ......"

Su Ziyu opened his mouth several times and closed it, not knowing what words to use to express the excitement in his heart, whenever he has gradually become accustomed to the magic of empty knowledge, the other party can always use practical actions to break the cognition again.

"Only when the mind is united can we be the master of the body. This is far from enough, the mind is not strong enough, and the mind cannot lock the essence, just like water without a source and a tree without roots, after all, it is vain. ”

"There are different ways to practice in the world, but in fact, everything is the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. What I want to teach you next is the most representative practice of Zen Buddhism - meditation. This is the method that I have observed you for so long and think is the most suitable for your actual situation. Meditation, which is translated from Sanskrit (Dhyana), is also called Dhyana. It means meditation, which means that the mind is fixed to observe the mind, and the state of view is used to make the mind concentrate and not disperse, which is called concentration. ”

"As for the state of meditation...... Have you ever heard the saying that 'jumping out of the Three Realms is not in the Five Elements'?"

When Kong Zhiyuan said this, his voice suddenly changed, and a question was thrown.

"I know this, the Monkey King in Journey to the West! The Buddha said that he was an empty stone monkey, jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements!" Su Ziyu blurted out almost without thinking, he was speechless every time he was asked by the other party, and this time he finally answered a question.

"Journey to the West?Monkey King?" Kong Zhiyuan repeated in a low voice when he heard this, his expression was a little strange, but he continued to ask. "And what do you think that means?"

Seeing this, Su Ziyu suddenly felt a little weak, could it be that he said something wrong again?

But he couldn't think of anything else for a while, so he could only explain stubbornly: "The Three Realms should be the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man, and the five elements are naturally gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements means that there is no birth and death, no reincarnation, no coming and going in the Three Realms, and not being in the Five Elements......"

After saying this, Kong Zhiyuan just smiled and didn't speak, Su Ziyu finally couldn't speak, and said worriedly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"This explanation is interesting, but it's purely a novel, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Su Ziyu didn't expect him to answer like this, and he was a little confused for a while, so he listened to Kong Zhiyuan and continued.

"But it's certainly not the same concept as spiritual practice. The so-called method of meditation is purely divided into realms, which can be divided into Hinayana, Middle Realm, and Mahayana, which correspond to the three worlds of desire, lust, and emptiness. This kind of realm only exists in legends, and even I have never heard of anyone who has actually reached this realm, so you don't need to think too much about it. ”

"The so-called desire realm refers to all kinds of desires, whether physical needs or psychological needs, are part of desires. Lust for money, lust, lust for fame, appetite, lust for sleep, and so on. When people focus on which aspect, which aspect of the desire is particularly strong, some people focus on the desire to eat, some people focus on lust, and some attach great importance to status, but no matter what, human beings live in strong desires, and it is difficult to get rid of the influence of desire......"

After Su Ziyu listened to it, he suddenly had a bit of a bad feeling, this meditation practice will not be to break off love and abstain from desires, and cultivate into a robot with no desires and no desires, right?

"You can rest assured, meditation is not to kill lust, it is to meditate and contemplate, control the mind, don't let desire blind the mind, the truth of this is profound, it is not a day or two work, you will slowly know in the future. Speaking of meditation, the Hinayana realm can be divided into four stages: careless dwelling, careful concentration, desire definition, and future meditation, so it is also called the four concentrations of desire. ”

"You can be consistent in mind and sense essence, which can be regarded as entering the realm of carelessness. However, people who have just started to practice often have scattered thoughts and thoughts, and they can't control them. When it is manifested in meditation, it is that no matter whether you sit or lie down, you can not last, and if you maintain the same posture, you will have backache and bone pain, which is because you are too deliberate and have poor breathing. ”

When he said this, Su Ziyu happened to be shaking his legs and feet because he had stood for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed when he heard the words, and he froze in place for a while.

However, Kong Zhiyuan did not criticize his performance, but continued: "Carelessness can only be set for a while, only if the mind is subtle enough, the body does not have to be adjusted with heart in any state, and the habit is automatically balanced, mellow and consistent, no matter how long you sit and lie down, you will not get tired, it means that you have entered the realm of careful concentration." This is also the secret transmission of Zen Buddhism, that is, the method of holding the body. ”

"Remember, the trick is to settle your mind deeper, as if it were fixed in this place, not moving at all, taking root. The scriptures you read before are the Heart Sutra, also known as the Heart Sutra, also known as the Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, which is the classic and fundamental of the seven sutras of Zen Buddhism, which is very helpful for practicing meditation, but the key is to know its meaning. ”

Kong Zhiyuan interpreted the entire scripture in detail, and after watching Su Ziyu understand, he said leisurely: "You go, after ten days, if you can have a small success in holding the body, come and see me again, this is your second test." ”

Su Ziyu, who was meditating on the scriptures and meditating hard, hurriedly asked, "What is Xiaocheng?"

Kong Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "When you can lock your essence and not mess up, even if it is a small success, this is reluctantly coming, whether it is successful or not, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Before the words fell, the wind on the embankment was hunting, but the eyes were already gone.

Su Ziyu learned the scriptures and the method of meditation, and when he went back, he couldn't wait to practice.

The heart and eyes are open, this sounds mysterious and mysterious meditation, and when you really practice, you are no longer a boring sitting that you can't see or touch, and the kind of spiritual state that senses the surroundings, the whole person is naturally relaxed, and it is really a wonderful experience that makes people intoxicated, as if you are awake and not awake, and there is no concept of time at all.

But it's okay to be careless, after all, the heart has been formed, and after having experience, it is not difficult to enter this state, but being careful is extremely subtle, and it is always impossible to enter.

Su Ziyu was not discouraged, but even more energetic, devoting all his thoughts to it, sleeping and practicing, eating and practicing, completely fascinated.

He soon discovered that meditation does not require sitting or lying down, and after mastering it, as long as the mind is settled, he can even practice between walking and standing.

At noon that day, sitting in a noodle restaurant near the community to eat, Su Ziyu entered a state of meditation again, unconsciously forgetting that he was still eating noodles, the chopsticks were frozen in mid-air, and the whole person was crazy.

The formless and qualitative essence wandered in his body, but he was slowly guided by his mind, and he was no longer as unpredictable as before, which also made his whole body more and more energetic, and his waist, legs, muscles and bones were becoming stronger and stronger unconsciously.

"Bang dang"!

A bang!

Su Ziyu, who was highly concentrated and completely forgetful, only felt that his body was light, not only was he detached from the careless state, but the whole person couldn't control it and fell back directly, fortunately, after a few days of practice, his control of the body has greatly exceeded before, and his waist board stopped, and his calves exerted force, so he didn't fall on his back.

"Oops!" Su Ziyu woke up suddenly, looked back at his body, and sure enough, the stool he was sitting on was no longer in shape. The noodle shop uses the most common folding stools, which are rough and durable, but now not only are the thick wooden stools torn apart, but even the stainless steel leg frame underneath is twisted to the point that it is not in shape.

This is the most difficult part of careful determination, Su Ziyu has been able to occasionally lock the essence of the mind, what makes him helpless is that as soon as he enters this state, the strength of the whole body will skyrocket, and he can't control it at all, he has broken three pairs of chopsticks in the past few days, torn two pants, and there is no intact chair in the room, so he can only wear a pair of pants and sit on the ground to practice.

No wonder Kong Zhiyuan said that he naturally knew that the three words "careful determination" were too accurate, as he is now, wherever he goes, where he destroys, how to talk about the root of his mind.

At this time, it was the time when there were the most people eating, the small noodle restaurant was crowded with people, and when he heard the movement, he was all surprised and looked at Su Ziyu inexplicably, he shouted in his heart, and quickly shouted: "Boss, I'm not mistaken, your stool is broken, I almost fell!"

The owner of the noodle shop is a five-year-old and three-thick northwest man, and when he heard the movement, he was also confused and walked over, looking at the shapeless folding stool on the ground, and then looking at Su Ziyu, who was tall but with beautiful eyebrows, he couldn't imagine that someone could sit on the folding stool alive, so he could only admit that he was unlucky, and apologized again and again with a smiling face:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't fall, did I? ”

"Forget it, it's fine. Seeing that the other party did not suspect it. Su Ziyu waved his hand generously and said sorry in his heart.

He didn't want to slander others, but he really cut off his source of income, and it was when he was shy that he could save a little.

The owner of the noodle restaurant here was extremely puzzled, and Su Ziyu also secretly wiped his sweat, ate the noodles in two bites and left.

When this period is over, it is time to look for a job again.

However, Su Ziyu quickly put this thought aside again, and entered a state of meditation again, even when he walked, he collected his thoughts, and repeatedly recited the Heart Sutra that had been memorized backwards.
