Chapter 52: Three Immortals and Buddhas

The twenty-eighth heaven of the heavenly court below the twenty-ninth heaven of Hongmeng Daluo Heaven is the Dao palace mansion of various grassroots immortal officials, immortal officials, and immortal envoys of the heavenly court. and the three innate spirit races cultivated within the Hongmeng Daluo Heaven ontology.

It's a long story, Hongmeng Da Luo Tian is the general realm and the highest realm in its body, which is the sixth realm of Zhou Qing Realm Da Luo Tian. Together with the Fifth Realm and the Three Clear Realm Heavens, it is called the Four Clear Saint Realm Heavens. Therefore, Zhou Qingjing Da Luo Tian is the general name of the first five realms of the Hongmeng Da Luo Tian ontology, which can be said to be its presence or non-existence, to cover it with a table.

And among the 36 heavens of this Daluo Heavenly Court Hongmeng, there are four clear realms, four Brahma realms and three realms (desire realm, color realm, and colorless realm). The Four Qing Realm is located above the Three Realms of Heaven and the Four Brahma Realms, and this Four Qing Realm is the residence of the Pangu Immortal Dao Supreme Four Qing Saints, that is, the Four Qing Saint Realm Heaven.

It represents the origin of the Tao, the infinite being, and the ten thousand worlds, and intends to be the "ancestor" of the nature of all the heavens and universes and the existence of all the heavens and universes of the Great Zhou Heaven. The Immortal Dao Small Three Realms, which are located in the Hongmeng Daluo Heaven Body, are the six heavens of the Desire Realm, the eighteen heavens of the Color Realm, and the four heavens of the Colorless Realm mentioned earlier. Above the small three realms are the four heavens of the four Brahma realms, and above the four Brahma realms are the four heavens of the four clear realms.

From below the four Brahma realms, among the three minor realms, there are still many calamities and calamities such as the three calamities and nine tribulations.

And one of the three congenital spirit races that were born from the small Three Realms, the beings of the Little Three Realms of Heaven, are recorded in detail in the Hongmeng Dao Record, which is specially used to record the Hongmeng Dao Realm in the Haotian God's book dedicated to the collection of the Hongmeng Dao Realm.

In the Heavenly Dao Immortal Sutra of Taoism, there is also a record in the volume of the Records of the Wild Wilderness, but it is relatively brief.

It is recorded in the Records of the Flood as follows:

"Da Luo Heavenly Court, its three small worlds of desire, lust, and colorlessness. There are three kinds of innate beings in it. ”

"Its desire boundary, yin and yang viviparity, long live the years. ”

"Its color world, yin and yang, are colored, and the desire world is the same, not intersecting, people are all incarnated, accumulating hundreds of millions of years old, not dying and not hurting. ”

"Its colorless world, yin and yang are tangible, hundreds of miles long, do not think tired, can be invisible into the subtleties, no desire to recolor, only the truth is known, years of accumulation, although not learning, but can do good, good fortune. ”

The record in the Hongmeng Daolu is as follows, but it is more detailed:

"The foundation of the Great Luo Heavenly Court of the Great Luo Heavenly Realm is located, the six heavens of the Desire Realm of the Hongmeng Great Luo Heavenly Body, the eighteen heavens of the color realm, the four heavens of the colorless realm, etc., within the twenty-eight heavens of this small three realms, there are those three types of innate soul races that are born from the cultivation of those three major types of innate beings. ”

"Within six days of that desire realm, there is a race of soul-like beings. It is divided into male and female yin and yang forms, and is born for the combination of yin and yang, and the flesh and fetus are conceived in the abdomen. Its shape or human-headed beast body, or beast-headed human body, or its body shape is strange and strange, and its size is as usual, and its height is no different from that of a human. In the six days of the Desire Realm, the people of their ethnic groups multiply, and their people have a lifespan of 10,000 years. ”

"Within eighteen days of the color realm, there are also humanoid creatures. It is also divided into male and female yin and yang forms, not yin and yang combined viviparity, but many types of innate vitality incarnation, but it still has the desire to combine yin and yang. Its body is a human body with more animal heads, less animal bodies and human heads, and no peculiar body shape, which converges with the six natural beings in the desire realm. The eighteen days of the color world are all multiplied by their ethnic groups, and their people have a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years. None of his people died young, and none of them were wounded physically. ”

"In the four days of the Colorless Realm, there is a group of people from the side tribes of the human race. They are all human heads and human bodies, and they are the forms of the innate Dao body of the human race. It is tall, hundreds of miles long, and there is no sense of fatigue during the trek. It can hide the form anytime and anywhere, and return to fine dust and micro crevices. It is no longer nostalgic for the appearance of being immersed in the lust of the flesh, but only the acquaintance of the original god and the true spirit. Although they have never been engaged in learning the civilized etiquette and moral education of the human race, they can still naturally do that good deed and do that good heart from the bottom of their hearts, which is the innate love of the heart. He will be accompanied by that good fortune (2) throughout his life, and everything can be accomplished as long as he thinks about it, and he can achieve perfection as long as he works hard. ”

The above is the two great treasures of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Court, which record the three innate spirit races that were nurtured and born in the small three realms of the Immortal Dao. And the three major human races in this small Three Realms are also the main source of Heavenly Court's endless heavenly soldiers and generals in the future.

Naturally, if the three major people want to become Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, they must cultivate the Heavenly Court Exercises, and only after surviving the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation can they refine their own bodies and transform them into standard human innate Dao body forms.

Because of its special origin, it was born from the ontology of Hongmeng Daluotian. Therefore, except for the innate beings in the four days of the Colorless Realm, the innate beings in the other two realms, if they do not survive the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, their bodies will not be able to transform into the true innate Dao bodies of the human race.

These three major ethnic groups are different from the side branches and similar branches of the human race that evolved in Naxi Niuhe Prefecture in the future. The acquired human race in Xiniu Hezhou is the innate Dao body of the human race that evolved by itself with the passage of time.

Even if it is a branch of the humanoid race that has not evolved completely, after its body is cultivated, as long as it condenses into an inner pill, that is, after cultivating the golden pill as said by the Immortal Dao, it can transform into the form of the innate Dao body of the human race.

This is very similar to the demon clan, when the demon clan was in the last era, no matter which clan had the people of that clan who had opened their spiritual wisdom and comprehended or learned the method of cultivation, after they cultivated the inner pill, they could turn into human form.

It's just that the flood famine in the last era has not yet been consummated, and the mana is not profound, and it is often killed by the evil human monks in their hearts for no reason. More than ninety percent of them can't survive the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, and they do their own cultivation in vain. But it is the way of heaven and good reincarnation, and who the heavens forgive is really the definite number of cause and effect reincarnation.

Of course, in the last era, the demon clan also had a lot of cruel people, who always killed and played with the killing of human monks, but they also did very much evil, and they had their own karma and retribution entanglement, and they had to re-enter reincarnation, and they didn't know when they would be able to transcend rebirth and get out of reincarnation. There are even a very few people who will inevitably turn to ashes and go away.

To get back to the point, above the colorless realm, within the four Brahma realms, are the real high-level management of the Heavenly Court, immortal officials, and important officials, as well as their specific framework structure distribution, which has been described earlier. And above the Four Brahma Realms, there are the Four Qing Sacred Realm Heavens that are beyond the reach of the three calamities, the nine tribulations, the eras, and the robbery.

The Pangu Immortal Dao Siqing sitting in it is the Yuancheng Avenue Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit Position, which is immortal, incarnates the heavens and universes, and masters the Realm, the Sea and the Universe.

In addition to the four clear realms, the four Brahma realms and the three realms of heaven under them also have their own heavenly emperors, true immortal qualities, and many subordinates, which cannot be described, and have been roughly described before, so they are not in detail.

Therefore, the twenty-eight heavenly realms of the Four Qing Sacred Realms, the Four Brahma Realms, and the Small Three Realms are collectively known as the Hongmeng Daluo Heaven.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the three realms and the heavens of Buddhism. The "Three Realms" of Western Buddhism refer to the reincarnation of delusional sentient beings in the midst of birth and death.

According to its realm, it is divided into three classes, namely the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness. Buddhism says that there are 28 days in the Three Realms, which is called "28 Days in the Three Realms". Although the fruits of the three realms of Buddhism have their own advantages and disadvantages, suffering and happiness, they all belong to the realm of confusion, and it is difficult to get rid of the suffering of the cycle of life and death, so they are rejected by the sages of knowledge. The Three Realms of Buddhism mentioned here are the Three Realms mentioned in its scriptures and teachings, not the Three Realms of the Buddha where the two saints of Buddhism such as Amitabha Buddha and Zhun Ti Daoren are located.

Buddhism's "Lotus Sutra: Parables" says: "The Three Realms are like a house of fire, full of suffering, and very terrifying." In the "Parables of the City", it is also said: "In the Three Realms of Prison, all sentient beings can be exhorted." This means that all sentient beings in the Three Realms should not be at peace with the Three Realms, but should be diligent in seeking liberation.

Because Buddhism says that the realm of the Three Realms of Misery is like the boundless sea, the Three Realms are also called the Realm of Suffering and the Sea of Suffering. In general, Buddhism often says that "the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore", which is to persuade people to leave the Three Realms and diligently seek the joy of liberation from nirvana.

To get back to the point, the three worlds of the Buddha, the supreme treasure of the Buddha's eternal teaching, are also born and multiplied within the three worlds of desire, color, and colorlessness.

The following is described in the Bodhi Quotations written by the Quasi-Daoist on the infinite world of wonders, treasures, and many living beings within the Buddha's holy realm, which is the foundation of the Buddhist Taoist system.

"In my religion, the eternal treasure of the Zhenjiao - the Buddha's Three Realms of Heaven, and his desire realm has the six heavens of that innate soul. Its body is no different from ordinary people, but it has many strange shapes. The beings in the realm of desires still have the primitive desires of the sentient beings in the flesh, such as lust, lust, lust, and appetite. It starts from the six heavens of desire, and includes the two heavens of the earth, the four small continents of Buddhism in the four heavenly kings, and the thirty-three days of the small thirty-three heavens in the Buddha's day, and the innate soul races such as the asuras, beasts, hungry ghosts, and hell monsters contained in the four days of empty dwelling. Because this realm is inhabited by men and women, and there are many desires, it is called the realm of desire, and the six heavens of this realm of desire are the world inhabited by many of its innate soul races.

"The Eighteen Heavens of the Realm of Lust refers to the eighteen heavenly realms of Buddhism where there are innate souls who are far away from the realm of desire, the six days of sexual immorality, and the two desires of eating. But it is still a world inhabited by sentient beings with pure colors and qualities. In the eighteen heavens of this realm, above the realm of desire, there is no lust of the flesh, nor the form of a female body, and all beings are born from incarnation, and in the heavens of the realm of color, its palace is tall and incarnated from the color quality, and all the subtleties and subtleties are enjoyed. Because there is still that color in this world, it is called the color world. ”

"The four heavens of the colorless realm refer to the colorless innate soul race that only has the four thoughts of receiving, thinking, acting, and knowing. This colorlessness does not refer to the color of the object, but to the shape of the substance. The colorless realm is the world inhabited by sentient beings who have no material life. There is nothing material in this realm, no body, no palace, no land, only the self-mind, and its innate beings dwell in that profound meditation, so it is called the colorless realm. ”

The above is the description of the three innate races of the Buddha in the Three Realms of Heaven. To put it simply, it is the innate soul race of the six heavens of the Buddhist desire realm that is the kind of human race. In the eighteenth day of the color realm, it evolved into a group of innate beings without male and female physical appearances.

And the last four days of the colorless realm are completely the innate souls of the void mind that are formless and substantial, and are eternally in deep meditation, just like the void beings who have no physical appearance, but the mortal beings in the flesh cannot see them.

However, if we look at it as a whole, the three innate spirit races that were born from the Buddha's Three Realms are still not as good as the three innate spirit races that were nurtured in the three small three realms of the Immortal Dao of the Celestial Body.

Not to mention anything else, at the level of its underlying foundation alone, the three innate spirit races cultivated by the Buddha's Three Realms are much weaker than the three innate spirit races cultivated in the Three Realms of the Immortal Dao.

Meaning of serial number annotation:

(1) Nirvana Tribulation: A Nirvana Tribulation is a billion years, that is, every billion years, there is a Nirvana Tribulation.

(2) The so-called blessing is that "the house of accumulating good will have afterglow, and the house of accumulating evil will have surplus seedlings"; the so-called "people are good, although the blessing has not been far away, and the people are evil, although the disaster has not been blessed, it has been far away" is the truth.
