In the 130th chapter, the gods guide the path of cultivation, and a generation of new people replaces the old

The poem says:

Cultivating Buddha and cultivating the heart, cultivating immortals and cultivating destiny,

If you have a heart, you will become a Buddha, and if you have no life, you will not become an immortal.

The Buddha of a thousand faces is about to be opened, Mrs. Liu generously donated money to appease the families of the stonemasons, and also donated a piece of incense money, she knew in her heart that the gun shot the first bird, so she went to ask Wang Zhentai to learn about the situation of other people's donations, and quietly made a midstream, which caused Wang Zhentai's homesickness, and decided to go home to meet Wang Zhenren.

Since they had this idea, Wang Zhentai and his apprentice Fa Zheng packed their things and prepared to go home.

At this time, a little monk brought a person, Wang Zhentai took a look, isn't this a monk from Zijin Temple? What are you looking for me to do at this time?

The person who came was the monk of Zijin Temple, who was sent by the abbot master to send a letter to Wang Zhentai, the letter roughly means that the abbot master has been in poor health recently, and hopes that Wang Zhentai will come back quickly, there are many things to discuss with him, if he comes back late, it will be too late. Okay okay,

The abbot of Zijin Temple in Youzhou City, Master Mingyuan is over 80 years old, Wang Zhentai is his rightful apprentice, and he is outstanding among several apprentices, the meaning of the master's letter is to let him go back to take over, but the things that his godmother explained can't be left to do, so he first sent away the monk of Zijin Temple, and let his apprentice forensic evidence go with the monk, and he came to Niuquan Village alone.

Wang Zhentai first went to see his godmother, Mrs. Liu, and told Mrs. Liu what he knew about the donation, and then left the west courtyard and went to Xidadong alone to meet Wang Zhenren.

Seeing Wang Zhentai coming, Wang Zhenren was not surprised, the two sat together, Wang Zhentai and Wang Zhenren exchanged a few words.

Wang Zhenren, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, why don't you just rush back to the Zijin Temple? ”

Wang Zhentai, "My master, Master Mingyuan, hopes that I will accept the presiding of Zijin Temple, but I think it is better to have my senior brother accept, and now I have sent my apprentice Fa Zheng, and rushed back to visit his old man for me, I have a few things, I want to ask the old immortal for advice, I don't know if it is okay?"

Wang Zhenren, "I understand what you mean, which means that your cultivation has improved." The major events in the world, the confrontation between Song and Liao, the separation of the north and the south, the country is in a turbulent period, although the strength of both sides has increased, in terms of strength, the Great Song Dynasty is stronger, but in terms of combat effectiveness, because the Song Dynasty has long implemented the rule of the world by literati, there is no better general, so the military strength is not optimistic, relatively speaking, the Great Liao State has a history of more than 100 years, the fierce and fierce personality of the Khitan people determines him, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, so how many times the two sides have fought, the Great Song Dynasty has not got any cheapness, but most of them have formed an alliance under the city under humiliating conditions, either reparations in various places, or a victory in name onlyAlthough Da Miao's products are not as rich as those of the Song Dynasty, in the process of fighting between the two sides, the Great Liao State took advantage of it. In this general situation, Buddhism and Taoism have problems, Taoism's problems are more serious than Buddhism, although there are many believers, but there are many factions, can not form any forces, all kinds of doctrines, people's thoughts are confused, the dominant position is still Confucianism, because the Great Song Dynasty adopted literati politics, the interpretation of Confucianism is also more complete, on this basis, the doctrine of Cheng Laofuzi put forward a more complete interpretation of Confucianism, so Buddhism and Taoism are a great impact. Buddhism is the same, Zen Buddhism is prevalent, but in the Great Liao Kingdom, around Youzhou City, it has become the world of Vinaya, Zijin Temple and some other monasteries, all of which are presided over by the Master of Vinaya, but this kind of sect is numerous, which is harmful to Buddhism, so the real practitioner should take ordinary sentient beings as his own responsibility, carry forward my Buddha Dafa, be compassionate, and save the people from fire and water. I think you've come to see this, so come to me for confirmation. ”

Wang Zhentai, " Nothing can be hidden from the old immortals, although you sit in the cave, but know everything about the world, throughout the world, not only to the Taoist things such as a number of treasures, to our Buddhism things, but also to the point, I practice in Zijin Temple, and in Tan Zhe Temple to hang the order, the purpose of the Vinaya and Zen Buddhism is one, but the sectarian dispute is becoming more and more serious, the Holy Emperor has a soft spot for the Vinaya, so the Vinaya sect is prevalent in Youzhou City, the incense of each temple is vigorous, no matter which sect, as long as it is to promote Buddhism, Pudu sentient beings, are the Buddha light of my Buddha。 ”

Wang Zhenren, "You have such an understanding, it means that your practice over the years, has gradually matured, as a monk who has attained the Tao, you should put down the scriptures, travel to the famous mountains and temples to learn from the strengths of all families, to promote my Buddha Dafa as their own responsibility, in the future to pass on your virtues, carry forward, but also you, the spirit of the West, the inheritance of the Bodhisattva, if you can find your successor, it will be passed on, it will definitely benefit the public." ”

Wang Zhentai, "Old Immortal, do you know the practice of the stonemason master Li Yongze, was originally a stonemason, in Yingxian County, Shanxi, because of the protection of the Dharma, the protection of the Buddha's relics, through the construction of the underground palace, this time he asked him to go out of the mountain, the construction of the Thousand Faces Buddha project, he did his best, carved a thousand Buddha statues, each of which is his painstaking efforts, are the symbol of his dedication to the Buddha, moved the Bodhidharma Patriarch himself, let him cultivate the positive fruit. I heard that your old man also helped him to move the Buddha with a Thousand Faces from the middle of the road to the side of the road. Miss Buckwheat was originally the elf of the Lord of the Stove, and in order to achieve the right fruit, she still needs three lives and three lives, what is the difference between the two?"

Wang Zhenren, "Cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the Tao is different from cultivating immortals." As a master stonemason, Li Yongze can do his own craft at the same time, he has the Buddha in his heart, protects the Buddha and protects the Dharma, wants to live, carefully carves a thousand Buddha statues, worships the Buddha all day long, and must have the heart of the Buddha, touched my Buddha, and it is also inevitable to achieve the right result. Miss Wheat is different, although she has the aura of a fairy, but the road to cultivating immortals must go through the polishing of the world, if you don't succeed in one life, you will be in two lives, you must taste the hardships of the world, and after the reincarnation of the third life, you can realize that the avenue becomes an immortal, and you can reach the heavenly realm and rank in the immortal class. The Buddha is in the heart, and the immortal has an official position, which is the biggest difference between the two. ”

Wang Zhentai, "I see, cultivating the Buddha is cultivating the mind, and the heart will become natural, so as long as Li Yongze is dedicated to the Buddha, he can become a Buddha on the ground." Cultivating immortals is not only cultivating life, but also to obtain the immortal body, first cultivating fate, fate is not converted, and without going through the reincarnation of several lifetimes, you will not be able to realize the avenue, and you will not be able to become an immortal. ”

Wang Zhenren, "The son can be taught." You are different from them, you have the wisdom root of the West Heaven, the heart of Buddhism, so your practice is to cultivate both Buddha and immortals, and to cultivate Buddha is to cultivate the mind, and the study of Buddhist scriptures is what you must do. ”

Wang Zhentai, "I remember the words of the old immortal. After leaving from you, I will benefit the people, understand the sufferings of the people, punish the evil and promote the good, accumulate my good fortune, fulfill my Buddha's vows, and live up to your old man's guidance. ”

Wang Zhenren, "One thing you have to remember is that outside the mountain, the Qingshan Building, the strong have their own strong hands, do not be strong in everything, accumulate your own good fortune, can not be in a hurry, you must believe that good is rewarded, and evil is rewarded." You also need to increase your mana and be good at using your own Dharma weapons, so that you can answer the question of carrying forward the Dafa of our country, punishing evil and promoting good, and finally achieving the goal of universalizing all sentient beings and becoming a Buddha on the ground. ”

Wang Zhentai, "Listening to your words, it is really a bit of an initiation, and I must remember the advice of the old gods and return to my Buddha as soon as possible." ”

Exactly: the road to cultivation is bumpy, and the road to cultivating immortals is even more bumpy.

Wang Zhentai followed the guidance of Wang Zhenren and became a traveling monk, which led to a story of a traveling monk doing the way for heaven. What about predicting what's going to happen?
