Chapter 37 Laughter often comes from Maitreya
"I think you're going to need some intel on this youkai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info" The holy Bodhi who sat down spoke, although his state of mind was damaged by the previous life and death struggle, he could only endure the discomfort now and tell Zhibei about his discovery.
"Well, I do need it, monk, you must have found something!" Zhibei said seriously, he must find the source as soon as possible and solve this monster - after all, the completion of this mission determines whether he can still live, since he has survived the death situation just now, then it is even more important to complete this task in one go!
"Before I say it! Please don't call me 'eminent' again, because that will add to my shame." Saint Bodhi waved his hand and said.
Zhibei looked at the holy Bodhi, maybe this time the unsolvable defeat between life and death hit his self-confidence, and made this monk who was seeking liberation lose his pride, but ...... How can this work?
"Nope! I'm still going to call you a monk! Zhibei shook his head and said firmly, "Even if I haven't studied Buddhism, I don't know how far you are from the Buddha. However, I know that your mana is the best in the world, and you are willing to kill demons for everyone, then you are worthy of being a monk. What's more, there are many people in this world who are looking for liberation, and if they don't even have the courage to be called a high monk, then how can they cut through all kinds of calamities and get out of the sea of suffering? ā
Saint Bodhi looked at Zhibei steadily, although Zhibei's words were superficial, but it seemed to have magical power, which made his heart blowing the storm calm a little, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! It's me who is in the picture! So, let me tell you about my findings! First of all...... The body of this youkai is a child! ā
"Kid?" Zhibei was surprised...... He wondered if he had misheard, how could a child have such a great deal of resentment? He remembered that in the village of the past, children were the most beautiful creatures, pure, ignorant, kind, innocent and happy...... But what's going on now?
"I don't know whose fault it was to inflict his pain on the child's body, but this ghost is connected to the soul of the body, and it can be seen from the height and form of the ghost that its body must still be just a child." Saint Bodhi sighed and said, "Secondly, the distance between the ghost and the main body is definitely not very far, so its main body must still be in this village. ā
"Where?" Now Zhibei had a wish in his heart, if he was still forced to complete this task before, then when he heard that the body of the resentful ghost was a child, he made up his mind to rescue the child-what kind of sad child must have such a great resentment?
"I don't know." Saint Bodhi said helplessly, "I can't pinpoint it either. ā
"Alright! I'm going to go find her! Zhibei said.
When Zhibei turned around and walked out of the cave, the holy Bodhi behind him suddenly shouted, "Wait! ā
"What's wrong?" Zhibei asked back suspiciously.
"Where did you come from? I think the spells and shikikami you use are unusual! Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, it doesn't go without saying, it's just a little curiosity on my part! The Bodhisattva asked.
"That's the question!" Zhibei pursed his lips, pointed at himself with his thumb, and said freely: "Zhibei, from Middle-earth, is a traveling Onmyoji (elven trainer)!" ā
"You're from Middle-earth? No wonder! He is worthy of being a citizen of the Heavenly Empire, and his insight is different from ours!! Saint Bodhi sighed, his eyes suddenly became eager, "I have long heard that Mahayana Buddhism is flourishing in the Tang Dynasty, and countless Buddhist sages abound, which are very different from our barbarian lands, young man, I wonder if you can discuss with me and solve the countless confusions in my heart?" ā
"This ...... As I said before, I haven't studied the Dharma! Zhibei said in embarrassment.
"This is not a big deal, although your words before are superficial, but there is no doubt that they imply Zen, which means that you have been exposed to it in that prosperous world, although you don't know it, but the realm is much higher than me! Zhibeijun, I beg you again to take turns with me...... No, speak for me and solve the countless troubles in my heart! The Holy Bodhi looked at Zhibei with a longing face, and at this time he had already stood up and bowed slightly to Zhibei.
Zhibei understands that the person in front of him is a Buddha idiot, whether he was stupidly influencing resentful ghosts before, or insisting on asking questions now, it shows that his obsession with Buddhism is deep, and it is beyond the imagination of others.
Forget it, just tell him! Maybe he'll have an epiphany? Isn't that the job done?
Zhibei turned such a thought in his heart, of course he didn't really study Buddhism, let alone have any great wisdom, but he thought that as a new century otaku, his ability to fool was still good, so it should be regarded as a temporary debate! Then he can adapt to the situation and use his understanding to misinterpret the Buddha's meaning (hey)!
"Forget it, you ask! But I'll tell you beforehand! I may not be satisfied with my answer! Zhibei reminded.
"It's okay, please let me ask! You will answer by Zhibeijun! Saint Bodhi said humbly.
"Come!" Zhibei hooked his fingers to relieve his tension!
"Zhibeijun, please tell me, why does the Buddha want us to do good deeds, but let us quit killing? If I don't kill, how can I get rid of the demons? If you kill evil spirits, how can you stop killing? The Bodhisattva asked.
"Hmm...... You don't kill a living, you kill a demon. ā
"How can this be, isn't the demon born?"
"It is born, but it is also demonic first!"
"This ...... I see, Walker, please teach me, how can I be liberated when there is no one in Japan who can save me? Saint Bodhi asked again.
"If there is no one to save you, please save yourself! Everyone has a Buddha heart, so why do we need others? ā
"But I'm stupid by nature, and I don't understand the essentials of Buddhism, what should I do?"
"You are not stupid, but you are obsessed with the things of the world, and you have neglected the wisdom of your heart."
"Walker, then how do I break through karma, break through mortal dust, and see clearly?" Sri Bodhi asked again.
"Have you seen the lotus?"
"I've seen it!"
"Do you think Lotus is good?"
"This, I don't know! It's just a flower! "The holy Bodhi was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Zhibei wanted to pull the lotus.
"Haha! You have to be like this lotus flower, out of the mud without staining, clear ripples without demons! This is the clarity of the mind! Zhibei couldn't help laughing, he looked at the holy Bodhi as if he had realized something, and felt a bad taste arise spontaneously, I have to say, the feeling of being a teacher is really good!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! I see, I see! When the Buddha was born, he also gave birth to a lotus step by step, and sure enough, this little lotus flower is infinitely mysterious! Saint Bodhi's face was full of excitement, he felt that the doubts in his heart were dissolving little by little, and the torrential rain was slowly subsided, and next, he wanted to know the most important question.
"Walker! Please teach me what it means to be empty according to the five aggregates, and how can there be no two ways in this emptiness? Santa Bodhi finally asked.
"This ......" Zhibei was stunned, he really hadn't thought about what this emptiness was, he hurriedly used his brain, recalled the classics he had read in his previous life, and finally, some broken words floated through his head, "The heart is vast, like a void, there is no edge, there is no good and no evil, no hatred, no joy, no love and no hate, no head and tail." But this is not an empty mind, the mind is empty, and it can still contain the hue of all things. The sun, moon and stars, the mountains and rivers, the springs and streams, the grass and trees, the good and the wicked, the heavens and hells, all the seas, and the mountains of Sumeru, are always in the air. (Note 1)
Zhibei exhaled, he didn't know if he was right to memorize, and he didn't know how to memorize it next, but since it began, it was a good ending, he waved his hand in a chic manner, and said: "The so-called short-sighted everything is to see all the pleasures, and when you see people doing good, you have to laugh, and when you see people doing evil, you have to laugh." Walk the path of your heart, or educate, or encourage, everything is in your heart! Yes! When you understand that you are a Buddha, that is when you realize the mantra of great compassion! ā
Saint Bodhi was dumbfounded, this insight that he had never heard of before was draped into his heart like lightning, and he felt that he had realized, well, maybe not yet, but as long as he meditated for one night, he would definitely make a breakthrough.
Saint Bodhi suddenly bowed and said, "Thank you practitioner for speaking for me, I seem to have realized!" Please let me meditate first, and if I attain the supreme Dharma, I will take you as my teacher. ā
"Huh! No! No, I'm just talking nonsense! Zhibei waved his hand again and again, he can't afford this high hat, you must know that he hasn't even made it himself! Now I have inadvertently spoiled others...... That's ironic!!
Although Zhibei tried to refuse, no one listened to what he said, because the enlightened monk had already entered a meditation with no ears to what was going on outside the window.
"This is really ......" Zhibei scratched his cheek helplessly, and he said indifferently, "Forget it, let me find the body of that resentful ghost!" ā
He walked out of the cave with Moe and walked towards the silent village.
