"First of all, a warm celebration of the successful completion of the Old World 37 expedition. Then, the next song "Unguarded Heart" gives me priority! Cheng Bei held the microphone in her hand, and her demeanor was myriad.

A group of people are gathering in the karaoke dance hall of the red house, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, and the lights are bright. Of course, Luo Xiaoyi is also in the period.

It was dark, the lights were on

The streets are bustling

The city is doubly brilliant at night

Crowded and unfamiliar

People are wandering

Who exchanges loneliness with whom

The night is too long, and there are too many dreams

Love is more confused

I wanted to look far away

Your love slowly

Surround me

Warmed my eyes

If you break my defenses

Break my resistance

Do I not get stabbed

If I take off my defenses

Unarm me

Whether love is beautiful as usual

The night is too long, and there are too many dreams

Love is more confused

I wanted to look far away

Your love slowly

Surround me

Warmed my eyes

If you break my defenses

Break my resistance

Do I not get stabbed

If I take off my defenses

Unarm me

Whether love is beautiful as usual

If you break my defenses

Break my resistance

Do I not get stabbed

If I take off my defenses

Unarm me

Whether love is beautiful as usual

Be ordinary

Never love is complicated

My heart will be defenseless

Cheng Bei's gaze moved back and forth on the seat between the lyrics on the screen and Luo Xiaoyi, and the corners of her eyes and mouth rose happily together, conveying a strong happiness.

Luo Xiaoyi was quiet in his seat, covering his cheek with a beer glass.

At the end of the song, Cheng Bei was very happy and wanted to use the bathroom mirror to prove that she was in impeccable condition today. Walking into the aisle of the back hall, the lights flickered on and off, and finally dimmed instantly, Cheng Bei was shocked, and suddenly the lights in the corner in front of him were bright. Walking briskly, I saw a low stove, a large cauldron on the fire, all kinds of images appeared in the heat of the pot, a female long-tailed ape sat on the edge of the pot and stirred to prevent boiling, the female ape and the young ape sat by the stove to keep warm, and the walls and roof were full of strange-shaped household utensils used by witches.

Suddenly, I don't know that a male ape jumped out of there, walked towards Cheng Bei and began to offer courtesy.

Shake it up

Let me be a treasure

to make me rich

I'm in a really bad situation

I'm going to have money

There are also brains

"What's the smell of birds?" Cheng Bei was puzzled.

The male ape scurried up and down, gesturing, and asked Cheng Bei to drink the liquid in the cauldron.

"Why?" Cheng Bei didn't follow.

The male ape swayed left and right, chirping loudly

This is the world

One fell after another

Roll in

Ringing like glass

It's cracked at the sight

The center is hollow and deflated

Roll Ye Ye Ming

Get out of here

Cheng Bei felt that there was really no way to communicate, and she was ready to do it.

"Let's drink it." A pair of green toad mirrors that cover the entire cheek appear next to the cauldron.

A young man with a goatee stood in place, gloomy and sympathetic.

"Who are you?" Cheng Bei was dismissive.

"Passerby, I happened to enter this closed field to give you a reminder." Toad mirror youth while speaking. The apes quietly stayed away from the sidelines.

"What happens if you drink it?" Cheng Bei asked.

"After drinking the world, you should go to meet an acquaintance, but there is a doubt."

"An important acquaintance?"

"It's up to you whether you go or not, I'm just here to wake up, you're trapped here anyway." After the toad mirror young man finished speaking, he walked away on his own.

Cheng Bei was helpless in place for a while, walked to the grid, picked up a crystal cup, scooped up the liquid in the pot, and drank it all under the gaze of the apes.

A bit of chocolate milk.

Immediately, the eyes suddenly opened up.

As you walk, you will find yourself in the middle of a beautiful landscape.

The valley is light fog, blue sky and white clouds.

Footsteps rubbed against the green grass with a subtle sound.

At the entrance of a valley in front of him, a huge protrusion stood out, and Cheng Bei walked in quickly, looking at this protrusion from the side.

It's the head of the Yama King.

The three eyeballs the size of car tires have huge copper bell eyes, and the sound is monstrous, glaring angrily.

The huge body below the head stretched across the front of the entire valley, and the huge claws of the limbs held on to a round roulette wheel of equal size.

Cheng Bei stepped forward and looked at the image engraved on the giant ship.

It is the six reincarnation diagrams of "The Wheel of Life and Death".

The Enma King silently stared at Cheng Bei in front of him.

The latter had already seen that this Enma King was not a physical entity, but just a virtual image.

A figure clashed down from above the virtual image.

A woman wearing a mage's pointed hat and a black robe sits on top of a six-tusked elephant. Descend in front of Cheng Bei.

The mage pretended to be a woman who was supremely cool, with an otherworldly face, and looked at Cheng Bei silently.

"You're looking for me?" Cheng Bei asked.

"No, Guanyin Bodhisattva is looking for you, but she has something to delay, so you can read these six reincarnations."

"For what purpose?"

"If you don't know, if you come, you will be safe."

"Who are you?"

"Fuxian Bodhisattva!"

After the two finished talking, Fuxian got off the treasure elephant and walked towards the valley with Cheng Bei one after the other.

"Do you understand the six realms of reincarnation?" Fugen asked.

"Six Realms: Also known as Six Pleasures, Six Fan, or Six Realms of Reincarnation. It is the path of reincarnation of all beings. The six realms can be divided into the three good paths and the three evil paths. The three good paths are the way of heaven, the way of the world, and the way of Shura; The three evil realms are the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path. "Cheng Bei is confident.

"The Wheel of Life and Death diagram held by the Yama King is a diagram showing the cycle of birth and death in the six realms of ordinary beings, and it also teaches the source of suffering, the method of liberation from suffering, and the state of freedom from suffering."

"The six realms are mental states, not physical spaces, and we will definitely die one day, but after death, life does not end."

"After this ** extinction, our consciousness will first enter a stage called "bardo", and then we will be reincarnated again, obtain a new physical body, and continue to live in another life form."

"Buddhism often talks about reincarnation, and today we're talking about images of reincarnation, but who is reincarnation? Where is reincarnation? Why are they in samsara? Fuxian asked.

"The minds of ordinary beings are beings that are trapped in samsara; The six realms, which are made up of the three virtuous paths and the three evil realms, are the places where ordinary beings are trapped in reincarnation. ”

"Ordinary beings who create karma because of their afflictions, and who are born, die, and reborn because of their karma, go through seemingly endless cycles and reincarnations, and go around in these six realms, unable to be at ease or out of liberation." Cheng Bei continued to be confident.

"In Buddhism, the term "free" is often mentioned, but what is "free"?" Fugen continued to ask.

"Freedom" means "freedom." When we talk about freedom, we think that not having to work, not going to work, or being unsupervised is freedom, but in fact these are not real freedoms, real freedoms, because these situations still have limitations. ”

"We don't have the freedom to die, we don't have the freedom to get sick, we don't have the freedom to be reincarnated......"

"By freedom in Buddhism, we mean true freedom, freedom, and autonomy, that is, the state of being free from birth, death, sickness, bardo, and samsara. This is the state of liberation beyond the cycle of birth and death, the bondage and shackles of karma and afflictions. This is true freedom, true freedom. ”

"What is the purpose of hard work in life? In fact, all people, and even the lives in which they live, pursue nothing more than happiness from suffering, that is, freedom from suffering. Whether you're looking for money, fame, or anything else, what you're looking for is freedom from suffering and happiness. ”

The question is: who has attained true freedom after a lifetime of pursuit? Who can attain the state of freedom without sickness, suffering, or death? ”

Cheng Bei spoke throughout.

"As a high school student, you're thinking so far away.!" Fuxian sighed.

"These are all notes I have taken from the masters!" Cheng Bei did not ask for credit.

"The Buddha taught that afflictions and karma are the real causes of our suffering and samsara, and that practicing the Dharma is the way for us to get rid of suffering and attain a state of liberation.

The Wheel of Life and Death is precisely the way to explain the situation, process, and causes of our ordinary people's continuous reincarnation in the six realms, and to explain the way out of this helpless situation. Although the sufferings of the six realms are all-encompassing, the general situation is all contained in this image. "Fugen fingers the holographic projection image of the Yama Demon King.

As the two of them walked along, the huge image of the Yama Ghost King holding the roulette wheel accompanied them like a shadow, filling the entire focus of their eyes like a 3D projection in the visual space of the two, reminding them of their existence everywhere.

At the fork of the road, Fugen stopped and pointed to the innermost circle of the giant wheel in the hand of the 3D projection Yama Ghost King.

The innermost circle

In the very center of the picture, the pivotal part of the wheel, is a small circle containing three kinds of livestock: pigeons, snakes and pigs. The snake and the dove come out of the pig's mouth.

"These three kinds of animals represent the three poisons of greed, ignorance, and ignorance. These three poisonous thoughts are the fundamental afflictions of ordinary people, and they are also the root cause of our constant cycle of birth and death. Fuxian said.

"Why do pigeons show greed?" Cheng Bei asked.

This is because pigeons are characterized by greed and lack of contention, which is the traditional saying. One of his apprentices who studied biological behavior said that modern Western zoologists have found that pigeons are the most frequent of all creatures, which seems to coincide with the traditional Buddhist saying. In some Wheel of Life and Death diagrams, the artist will draw other birds to express greed, but these are incorrect. In the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures on the drawing of this picture, it is stated that the pigeon (and not other birds) should be used to show greed. ”

"Greedy, greedy!" Cheng Bei agrees.

Behold

The serpent is the expression of hatred. If you touch a snake with your finger, it will immediately get angry and bite back, so the snake is used to represent hatred.

silly

A pig doesn't tell the difference between good and bad, clean or dirty, it just gobbles up anything.

In normal times, pigs only know how to eat, sleep and pull manure, and nothing else. If you take a pig to the garden, it will not sit and enjoy the scenery, but will make trouble everywhere and dig up all the flowers and grass out of the mud. There are thousands of animals in this world, but in different countries, languages and cultures, pigs are invariably used to describe stupid people, which shows that it is indeed appropriate to use pigs to express stupidity.

Cheng Bei looked at the master's notes in her hand with self-care, omitting the necessary explanation.

"Because of the fundamental stupidity of our ordinary people, we will have greed for external things, and when we can't get what we want, we will develop hatred, and this is the situation where greed and ignorance originate from ignorance. In the innermost circle in the center of the picture, the snake and the dove are drawn from the mouth of a pig, which is the source of greed and hatred. Cheng Bei finally defined.

"But in some paintings, the artist painted three animals in a circle, with a pig biting the tail of a snake, a snake biting the tail of a pig, and a pigeon biting the tail of a pig. Strictly speaking, this is not the most traditional and correct way of painting, but this method of painting also has its meaning: the three animals bite each other into a ring, and the three poisonous thoughts of greed, ignorance, and ignorance do not operate alone, but are caused by each other. Fuxian added.

"Yes, the afflictions and karma of the three poisons are the causes of the constant flow of life and death in the six seas of suffering. That is to say, the cause of samsara and the source of suffering are afflictions and karma. If we want to get rid of suffering, it's not helpful to just complain, we have to uproot the root of suffering, so we need to understand the workings of our afflictions and karma. Cheng Bei agreed.

"Between afflictions and karma, the main cause of the constant reincarnation of ordinary people is afflictions. What are afflictions? They are all kinds of elements that make our minds restless and arrogant, such as greed, hatred, stupidity, and so on. ”

"Assuming that an ordinary person only has the karma that he has accumulated in the past, but he does not have the ego and other disturbing emotions, it is impossible for the karma alone to cause the ordinary person to be reborn, and this is like a seed without water, which cannot germinate and grow. On the other hand, if you haven't done any karma in the past, but as long as you don't get rid of your afflictions for a day, you will be motivated by your afflictions to start farming immediately, and you will have the causes for samsara, rebirth, and suffering. Fuxian stared at Cheng Bei meaningfully.

The Yama King turned the giant wheel in his hand, revealing the inner second circle, breaking the silence between the two.

inside the second lap

The second circle, which is counted outward in the center of the center of the wheel, is the symbol of the teachings on birth, death and bardo. One half of the ring is black, and the other half is white. In the black half-ring, there are three small figures, which represent the bardo body that will be thrown into the animal, the hungry ghost, and the hell path.

This half ring says that sentient beings who are driven by the three afflictions of greed, ignorance, and naivety (i.e., the appearance of pigeons, snakes, and pigs in the inner circle) to create black karma or bad karma (the background color of this half ring is black, which indicates black karma), and after death, they will invoke the fruits of black karma and be reborn in animals, hungry ghosts, and hell paths.

The heads of animals, hungry ghosts, and hellish beings are all downward, indicating that these three life forms are the lower rebirth of suffering.

In the other half of the ring, the background is white, and there are three images with their heads pointing upwards, representing the bardo body that will be born in the three life forms of the Heavenly Dao, the Asura Path, and the Human Dao. This half-ring explains that sentient beings, as a result of their white karma (expressed in the white back), will be inspired by the karma and will be reborn in the heavens, the asura realm, or the human world after death. These three life forms are less suffering than the three evil realms mentioned above, so they are called the "three upper paths" or "three good paths".

"I'm the one in charge of the Three Senses!" Fuxian indicated the position.

"The Three Evil Paths are Guanyin in charge?" Cheng Bei asked.

"The Three Evil Paths are in charge of Manjushri." Fugen returns.

Cheng Bei was puzzled, and her apricot eyes were round.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva is in charge of the supreme way!" Fuxian answers questions.

"The Supreme Way?" Cheng Bei was puzzled.

"Keep going down the road, and there will be results in the end!" Fugen smiled mysteriously.

Standing at a three-way intersection.

"Let's look at the familiar ways of the world." Fuxian greeted and took the lead in one of the forks in the road.

The Way of the World

Sentient beings are reborn in the three evil realms because of their bad karma, and because of their good karma, they are inspired by the retribution of being born in the three good realms. Among the three virtuous paths, the blessing of being born in the heavenly realm is the greatest, followed by the path of assuras, and the human world is again, but the human world is the most suitable place to practice the Dharma.

There are many sufferings in the world, but they can be summarized into eight sufferings.

Suffering – From the moment of conception, the life of the child feels all kinds of suffering.

Cheng Bei saw the valley road on both sides of the fork in the road, and began to flashback like a movie.

Countless sperm silently stared at the egg in front of them.

On the outer wall of the huge egg, the only sperm is in front of hundreds of millions of dying kinds, reverently knocking on the fusion of cells.

It flicked its tail and witnessed the beginning of a cycle without sorrow or joy.

The ontology may not quite understand the suffering of birth, and it may not be able to remember the pain that oneself experienced in the womb and even during the birth process. During the nearly nine months in the womb, the baby suffers a lot. Although I can't remember the body, it doesn't mean that the body didn't feel it at the time.

Cheng Bei saw the brewing baby, like a planet gradually forming in the universe, slow and long-term, but saw that the birth was completed in an instant.

Old Suffering – The ontology should not think that the pain of old age will only be felt after the age of sixty. In fact, the ontology is born from the mother's womb, and this experience can be said to begin. In the process of gradual aging, the proprioceptive intelligence gradually declines, the memory is also weakened, not to mention the decline of physical ability and function.

Cheng Bei looked at the body on the picture, from no hair and no teeth, to a healthy and lively growth of dense hair, growing four tiger teeth, lively and young.

Scolding Fang Xuan, a good year.

Tough and sturdy shoulders easily carry the world down.

Walking on the road of life, there are dreams and pursuits.

But in the blink of an eye.

Everything is human and wrong.

Humble flattery weighs down on the back.

The sorrow of life is deeply imprinted on the gray hair.

Wrinkled tired face.

Sigh at the passing of life.

Illness - In a person's life, not only will he encounter many physical diseases, large and small, but also various psychological and emotional problems. If you go to the hospital, you can see the suffering caused by the disease. This pain is sometimes so severe that it is unlovable.

Too much.

Under the White Terror in the hospital.

The road to the morgue is sprinkled with countless reluctances.

Death Suffering—When you die, your body not only suffers great pain, but you are also forced to be separated from your family, friends, and possessions, and the fear and anxiety in your heart is unimaginable!

It's just one breath.

This breath circulates in the body, no matter how delirious or incoherent.

is alive.

The breath stopped.

But a gray body.

The boundary between life and death is one breath.

Love and Parting Suffering—In a lifetime, the ontology has to go through countless births and deaths, and often cannot be with the people it loves for a long time.

This past year should be a good day. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can say.

Resentment can be bitter – this refers to the helplessness of constantly encountering people and things that you don't like, such as being robbed, hurt, or working with people you don't like.

Others are hell!

Seeking Suffering – One of the sufferings of the world is that it can never be satisfied. Some people think that the rich and famous are the happiest, and it is not uncommon for the rich, celebrities and celebrities to commit suicide, and they often do not get real satisfaction.

When the ontological body wants to get something, the ontological body will be tormented by **. When you don't get them, you're unhappy. Even if the main body gets them, it will still not be satisfied, and will still want more "good things", and will do everything possible to protect its possessions, or it will be painful to lose them.

If you can't get it, it's better not to get it!

Happy joy, happy what?

If you don't bring it in life, you won't bring it in death!

The Five Aggregate Sufferings - Because the essence is forced to obtain the five aggregate bodies, it will naturally encounter all kinds of suffering in the world, and there is no way to get rid of it.

There is no way out.

It seems to be just like an ant, and if you survive, you will be hard, and you can't escape for a lifetime, and you can't play at all.

Maybe after hundreds of millions of sperm watched silently at the sperm that entered the egg.

When I think of my imminent decline and decomposition.

I want to though

What a joy to be born

What is the sorrow of death?

"Desperate?" Fugen asked.

"It's okay, but it's a big dream in the spring and autumn!" Cheng Bei is very calm.

"If it's really a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period, then why are the six realms here?" Fugen asked.

"As I said, in fact, the six realms cannot be simply understood as physical space, and the six realms are the realm of the mind."

"A man walked into the flock, but we can't say that the man went into the cattle road. But if a person does something morally vile, we say that person is a well-dressed beast. Therefore, the six realms are the realm of the mind, not the physical space. ”

"But I'd like to know how the boundaries of the six realms are defined?" Cheng Bei asked.

Six demarcations

Generally refers to the celestial beings as the superior small good fruits in the six realms, but as long as they play a role in the six realms of reincarnation, they can all be said to be ordinary people, life and death are circulated, and they cannot be separated, just like the long night, although the celestial beings are the highest status in the six realms, they still have to be reincarnated.

Generally speaking, the universe refers to the tangible world, which is surrounded by nameless afflictions, so the world is a world of five turbidities and evils.

Among the six realms of reincarnation, the six realms are divided into three realms, which are the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness.

The Three Realms are the abode of the six realms of ordinary people, and all those who are in the Three Realms must accept reincarnation, which is why the Buddhist scriptures say that the Three Realms are like a house of fire, and the house of fire is also a metaphor for the three worlds, which is burned by the nameless fire of life and death.

Fugen Yao pointed to the roulette wheel of the Yama Demon King and said melodiously.

According to the scriptures, if you do the ten negative karmas, you will fall into the three evil realms of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals.

If you do the ten good karmic paths, you will be born in the heavenly realm and the human realm.

The so-called heavenly realm is the "divine realm", which is the realm where the soul of righteousness and good fortune dwells, although this realm enjoys happiness, but there is always a time when the blessings are enjoyed, that is, the cultivation of goodness to the point of not thinking about the heavens, this heaven is the highest heaven of the three realms, but once it falls, it still has to be reincarnated. Fugen continued to speak.

"He who does good deeds is at peace with his heart, just like the heavens of man; Although he does good, he is jealous, like a shura; No shame, no shame, no shame, is an animal; greedy and unsatisfied, he is a hungry ghost; If you lose your conscience and do all kinds of evil, you will be in hell. The nine types of beings, one body and one body, are completely established on the feelings of the heart. ”

"Addicts, drug addiction is like hell, but we can't feel such pain when we are close at hand."

The Jizo Sutra says that hell "requires karma if it is not a mighty god." Otherwise, it will never happen. ”

"We have been told that hell is not something that the drilling team can drill. Buddhism also says that when a person meditates to a certain level, he can reach the realm of one Zen Heaven, two Zen Heavens, three Zen Heavens, four Zen Heavens, and so on. The person who has reached these realms does not fly out of the atmosphere like a rocket, but is a state of mind that only he can experience, and Zen music has been confirmed by many meditations to be a real existence. ”

"A sober thought blooms all over the world!" Cheng Bei concluded.

"I'm going to the Shura Road soon," Fuxian Immortal pointed out. (To be continued.) )
