Chapter 12: Visualization and Vajra Sutra
From this day on, in addition to three meals a day, the ten parties basically do not go out of the cave, only rest for three hours a day, and then there is endless cultivation, if it is not a regular three meals a day, it must be difficult to distinguish the hours and days under this kind of cultivation.
As for Danqing Dansheng, under the polite refusal of Shifang, he also began to concentrate on thinking about how to make a beautiful stone house. At least it's not awkward to live.
In this way, five days passed in a flash.
As for the thirteen scriptures of Buddhism, if you have time, you will read it carefully in your hands, even if you don't understand, you just memorize it carefully, when you read it roughly, it is very empty-minded, and the spirit will be a little better, but now you read it carefully, you suddenly feel obscure, and you are often tired of thinking about it, but he never feels boring, but as always, he works hard.
It's so difficult, Shifang touched his bald head and thought, the master obviously said that he would come back after leaving for a few days, why has there been no news for so long, this thought is just a moment, and then Shifang picked up the scriptures again.
In the afternoon of this day, a gray mist flew towards this side, the speed was extremely slow, and in the mist, it was the master of Jiu Xuan, I saw him scratching his ears and cheeks, and muttering to himself:
"Isn't it too much this time, hey, I'm embarrassed to come back, it's been a few days, what should I do, will this kid play other tricks, but speaking of which, this time I did something out of line." Looking at the Bodhi Cave in front of him, Master Jiuzhan gritted his teeth and finally fell.
Shifang is watching the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in the cave, "Myoho-renge-kyo" refers to the subtle and inconceivable profound meaning of this sutra, "lotus", and through the lotus, is the most common metaphor and image in Buddhism, there is the merit of "subtle fragrance and purity", "Myoho-renge-kyo" is often a metaphor for the Mahayana Bodhisattva's wisdom and compassion, for the compassion of sentient beings and make a vow, in the five turbidity and evil worlds to do unbearable deeds to save sentient beings, but not dyed by the five turbidity, just like the lotus, hence this name.
Suddenly, there was a wave of enthusiasm from the rosary on his hand, Shifang's heart moved, and he walked towards the entrance of the cave, only to see his master walking around outside the cave, with a tangled look on his face, and he didn't even notice Shifang when he got close.
"Master, when did you come back?" Shifang looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Master Jiuzhan shuddered, as if he was taken aback, and thought to himself, Amitabha, it's just that, he can't hide anyway, "Master Wei just came back, you?" Are you okay with your cultivation? ”
"Hmm." Shi Fang nodded vigorously, "Master, you said that after you come back, you will pass on my Bodhi lineage cultivation method, you see, can you start now?" The disciple has already taken the Qi Diffuser Pill and the Three-Yuan Pulp Cleansing Pill as you ordered, is there no so-called conflict in cultivation now? Shifang's appearance seems to be a little impatient.
"Huh?" Is there a deception, Master Jiuzhan touched his bald head in annoyance, it feels really bad to do bad things, according to the temperament of the little monk, it is so calm, there must be a demon when things go wrong. Cultivation, by the way, then I will pass on his cultivation method today, so that I can transfer one or two.
Thinking of this, Master Jiu took a good time to stroke the monk's robe that was blown by the wind, and led Shifang to the Bodhi Cave.
Outside the law, the sky is self-contained. The aura here is very strong, and after the consecration, Shifang had a better experience, and he silently followed the master to the Bodhi tree.
Master Jiu Lan sat directly cross-legged, and Shifang consciously crossed beside him. Then the nine lamps spoke:
"The Bodhi Golden Body is named after Bodhi, because Buddhism is the most enlightened, and according to Buddhist scriptures, Zen enlightenment means "enlightenment". And Jue is divided into three levels:
One is Hinayana realization. After breaking the self-centered troubles such as greed, prudence, ignorance, slowness, and doubt, he will no longer accept bitter retribution in the flow of life and death due to various troubles; This requires the cultivation of the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Twelve Causes and Conditions, and so on, in order to reach the level of an arhat who breaks through ego and dwells in nirvana.
The second is the Mahayana bodhi, which is called enlightenment. Bodhi not only self-extinguishes his afflictions, but also wishes to extend the breadth of sentient beings, and the Jizo Bodhisattva even says, "When all sentient beings are exhausted, Bodhi will be attained." The Bodhisattva hopes that all sentient beings can become Buddhas, and it is not a question of whether they can become Buddhas or not. This is an admirable expansive sentiment that has been in hell for you.
The third is the Great Perfection of Enlightenment, also known as Enlightenment. If someone has attained this state, then his afflictions have been cut off and the causes for all sentient beings have been planted. He is a person who is self-interested and altruistic, blessed and wise. This is the highest state of Buddhist practice. ”
"Then Master, how many of us in the Bodhi Golden Body have achieved such a realm?" Shifang asked curiously.
"I don't know, you don't need to ask, I said this just to broaden your horizons, and what we are learning at the moment is just the Hinayana nyorai, the teacher hopes that you will remember, don't stick to the world you see in front of you, this world is so big, how can we imagine." Jiu Zhan looked up at the sky, his heart was a little bitter, the aura of heaven and earth was getting thinner and thinner, only by leaving this heaven and earth could he continue to practice, what kind of existence was the psychic world? And why did the Xia Yun Continent suddenly pass away?
"Master, what are you thinking?" Shifang asked a little anxiously. Didn't you come to teach me the Dharma of Buddhism, why did you only care about yourself in a daze?
"Hehe, look, this is the cultivation method of my Bodhi Golden Body." Jiu Zhan smiled slightly, threw over two jade slips, and continued: "This is the "Visualization of Rulai" and the "Vajra Power Sutra", one inside and one outside, complementing each other. ”
"Master, how should I cultivate on weekdays?" Shi Fang did not immediately sink his mind into the jade slip, but asked the master.
"The effect of "Visualization of Rulai" is only seven words, then the body wants to be recognized through the self-grasping, there are different visualization methods in the first few realms, you only need to practice step by step, there is a Buddha power in it, it will take you to run the cultivation method of refining the divine realm, you have a good understanding of it."
"As for the "Diamond Power Sutra", there are also specific practice methods in the jade slips, but the entry is the most difficult, when the time is the teacher's own guidance, you first familiarize yourself with one or two, three days later for the teacher will formally teach the law, the teacher's suggestion is to practice "such as to come to visualize" in the morning, in the afternoon to forge the body, "Diamond Power Sutra" is the best, as for the evening, you should not be in a hurry to practice various methods, first learn the way of dealing with the world, these books are prepared for the teacher, that is, some "Three Words", "Arabic Theory", "The Way of the Gentleman" and the like." Master Jiu Xuan flicked the rosary in his hand and said quietly.
"Huh? Master, I know all this, isn't this an enlightenment book for ordinary children? Do I still have to learn these things? Shi Fang was a little puzzled, and asked reluctantly, he was already a big step behind Danqing Dansheng's brothers, and now he can't wait to cultivate every second, how can he have time to read these children's enlightenment books, is this a bit of a delay.
"Being a teacher makes sense, you don't have to ask. Moreover, it is an indispensable part of spiritual practice. Master Jiulan's expression was serious, and his tone was unquestionable.
Shifang looked at the master's serious face, and hurriedly said, "Disciple, everything is arranged by the master. ”
"Then you can go back."
"Yes." Shifang bowed respectfully, swept the hazy peach blossom forest in the distance, and thought in his heart, Formation, when will I be able to cultivate, and bowed down and retreated while thinking.
"Whew-" Jiu Zhan let out a long breath, well, the Qilin True Blood is really extraordinary, this kid's qi and blood are no less than ordinary cultivators, and looking at it like this, the Qilin True Blood has not been completely absorbed, I don't know what kind of realm this kid's body will be strong after the "Diamond Power Sutra" is cultivated. In this way, there are successors to the Bodhi golden body, should I also consider how to condense the Buddha infant and try to truly come out of the dust. Jiu Zhan took out the dark scales hidden in the rosary and stroked them gently, then, let's start by refining this Qilin Anti-Heaven Scale Armor.
Shifang returned to the cave, at this time, his heart was not calm, he was finally about to start formal cultivation, father, mother, you watch, the child will definitely work hard.
Taking a deep breath, the "King Kong Ming Ji" was running, and the excited mood gradually calmed down, and after a week, Shifang took out the jade slip of "Rulai Visualization" and sank his mind into it.
It was as if a heavy stone door suddenly opened, and ten thousand golden rays of light shot out, refining the god realm "Rulai Visualization"!
A warm Buddha power came from the mind, dispersed to the limbs and eight remains, gradually communicated with the spiritual power around the body, followed a certain trajectory and slowly operated, and everywhere it went, it was warm and comfortable, like a spring flower.
After the tempering of the three-element marrow cleansing pill, the operation of this Buddha power is quite smooth, only half an hour, a week has passed, in this way, the Buddha power consumption is not large, with the absorption of the slightest spiritual power continue to run, until the Buddha power is exhausted, at this time, the refining god realm "Rulai Visualization" has been running for five full weeks.
Shifang woke up from his cultivation, not because he didn't want to continue, but because his mind was quite tired and he couldn't continue. So, he quietly began to breathe, meditate, and recover.
Another half an hour, the spirit was a little better, Shifang took out another jade slip, pondered for a moment, this "Diamond Power Sutra" is a forging method, it shouldn't consume divine thoughts, then I'll take a brief look. Thinking of this, Shifang sank his mind into it again.
This jade slip only makes a general exposition of the "Diamond Power Sutra", which simply put, has twenty-seven appearances, six Dharma seals, and three levels. Of course, this only refers to the tempering of the body.
According to the above, the three levels of self-cultivation are the Dharma Body, the Corresponding Body, and the Retribution Body. This is the inevitable process of achieving the golden body. According to common sense, the nine realms, after every three realms, there is a certain possibility of passing a level, of course, this is the most ideal state, in fact, in reality, it is often postponed a little. But every time you improve a realm, after cultivating "Visualization" and "Vajra Sutra", there is a very small chance of becoming a supernatural power, which is also one of the characteristics of Buddhist cultivation, but it all depends on chance, not forced, a monk who has attained the Tao, I am afraid that there are two or three supernatural powers are great achievements, and the supernatural powers are not the same, depending on each person's situation.
After reading it, Shifang took a deep breath, and a determined look flowed through his eyes. At this moment, my stomach gurgled and screamed, oops, it's time to eat, no, Master is back, I have to hurry up, otherwise it will be late and I will probably not be able to grab something delicious. Thinking of this, he quickly got up and walked towards the outside of the cave.
The color of late spring, but it is also a scenery.
