Chapter 437: Impure Views (Part II)

"Xingben, what did you say the abbot left them behind?" asked Xingxiang and Xingben as they chatted casually after they returned.

"There should be something to do, right?" Xingben guessed, Su Wen generally ordered people in the temple, and there were more important things. For example, that time in the ghost house over, such as going to Bashu to step on the Sanhe Gate.

"No, if there is something to do, at least one of these senior brothers will be there to do right, difficult, hard, and round. But they all left like us. The idea of line versus line rejection said.

Xingben thought about it and felt that what Xingxiang said made sense. If you go down the mountain to do errands, at least one of these senior brothers should be there. "Then I don't know. ”

Although they started later than the two of them, they were still willing to call them senior brothers.

In fact, there are not so many rules for Buddhism to divide the generations, and the monks are all commensurate with each other, and very few people take the entry time to talk about things.

Like the two of them, there are many people who speculate privately.

At noon, the twenty people who had been left behind by Su Wen finally came out of the lecture hall.

"Vomit ——!" As soon as the first person stepped out of the meditation hall, he vomited on the ground, and the people behind him did the same.

"Vomiting ......" A series of vomiting sounds, except for two people with excellent psychological quality, everyone vomited.

At this time, it was close to noon, and some monks from the guest hall were on their way up the hall from the bottom of the mountain, and saw more than a dozen people at the door of the hall leaning against the wall and vomiting, and they were all curious about what they had experienced.

I vomited all the stomach acid all the time, and everyone got better. When they arrived at the dining hall, the twenty men were all pale. In the past, the aroma of the dish was extremely appetizing, but at this time, it could not seduce everyone's appetite at all.

"What's wrong with you?" asked a monk in a whisper.

The people who were asked all shook their heads and said nothing, if they didn't ask, it would be better, and when they asked, they couldn't help but think of the pictures they saw in the general hall again, and their faces turned even paler.

One of them looked at the dish in front of him, and then thought of the pictures he had seen today and was asked to memorize the visualization, and his stomach churned.

But the person next to him was still asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Tell me, I see why you're throwing up?"

The man directly covered his mouth and ran out, and as soon as he came out of the hall, he retched again and vomited a little stomach acid for a long time.

The other nineteen looked at the man who ran out with their mouths covered, and they all looked angrily at the people around them who had been questioning.

They just want to forget about the morning and have a good meal.

The first picture scroll that Su Wen showed them was okay, although it was a corpse, it was also more miserable, but everyone didn't react much.

But Su Wen didn't hold one in his hand, but a total of four.

It completely shows the process of a person from death, little by little, to decay into a pile of rotten meat, thick water, and finally into white bones.

Especially the four pictures on the second and third pictures, all of which are photos of the human body after decay, as well as the rotting internal organs, and maggots wriggling in the rotten flesh, the tragic situation is absolutely unacceptable to ordinary people, and it is possible to leave a psychological shadow.

Moreover, they not only watch, but also visualize in their hearts.

According to the eight pictures on the four picture scrolls, visualize in your mind that you are starting to turn blue, purple, black, swollen, festering, blood turning into pus, rotten flesh falling down piece by piece, internal organs rotting, maggots crawling in the rotten flesh all over your body, eating the pus, blood and rotten flesh, and finally turning yourself into a white bone.

Two of them couldn't help but vomit on the ground at that time.

At the end of the morning, everyone felt sick.

After Su Wen finished eating, he saw the faces of the twenty people and knew that this was a normal reaction. Their cultivation at this stage is not for one or two days, but until they have cultivated to the White Bone View.

"In the afternoon, each of them will practice the others, and tomorrow morning they will go to the lecture hall to practice this meditation. ”

After speaking, Su Wen turned and left, leaving the twenty people with bitter faces and the other people's unknown reasons.

When Su Wen left, everyone turned their attention to the twenty people again.

Fortunately, this time everyone didn't ask, and after looking at their faces, they left after eating.

In the evening, everyone in the temple finally knew what they had done in the morning, and why they all looked so ugly at noon.

The twenty disciples who studied the White Bone Concept were reluctant to recall this idea, but some people poured out all the bitter water in their stomachs.

"You can try and visualize yourself rotting, with pieces of flesh falling down and maggots crawling on you. If you can not vomit, I admire you. A monk said.

The others laughed for a long time, and no one tried it. Just look at their reactions, and then listen to what they have to say, to know the power of this contemplative idea.

"But why are you the only ones who learn?" asked someone curiously.

At this moment, the person who spoke just now was suddenly speechless. It took a long time before he whispered: "The abbot said that our color roots are not purified. ”

As soon as he said this, the others laughed.

The Xingzi generation is all young people, the eldest is only about thirty years old, and the younger one is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they understand each other, and they don't have any contempt.

"Then this idea is to remove the color roots?" someone asked.

"It is said that it is so, and it seems to have other functions. After that, the abbot also said that contemplating one's own impurity is one of the four thoughts, what are the four thoughts?"

"The four thoughts are: contemplating the impurity of the body, contemplating suffering, contemplating the impermanence of the mind, and contemplating the Dharma without self. There are 37 ways to practice the path to liberation in general, and the most important of the 37 are the Four Thoughts and the Noble Eightfold Path.

The four thoughts refer to the four places where the mind is settled, also known as the four thoughts and places. ”

Fang had just started reading a book on the side without saying a word, and Xing Nan suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Don't suffer from practicing this contemplation, the abbot is also painstakingly working for you.

The body is as impure as the body of the living. However, the body of the living is obscured by its external ornaments, so ordinary people are not accustomed to recognizing its impurities.

And after you have practiced this contemplation, you will be able to see the true nature and know the roots, which will also be of great benefit to your future practice. ”

"That's what Senior Brother Xing said. When they heard the words of martyrdom, they began to speak.

"Tomorrow, I will also go to the abbot to learn this contemplation. After smiling, he put his mind on the scroll in his hand.

Everyone admired the attitude of learning and seeking the law in difficulty.

Not only is he gifted, but his efforts in spiritual practice are also obvious to others. The diligence in the temple is probably only comparable to Xingyuan.

Moreover, he is difficult to do things fairly, and has the temperament of a leader, and many monks respect him very much. Hearing him say this, I was also thinking about whether to learn this meditation from the abbot as well.
