Chapter 62: The End of the Dharma Period
Li Wusheng was the first in contact with Buddhism among this group of people, but he thought carefully about it, and it turned out that the Jizo Dharma he had entered was only the beginning. The Jizo method is to eliminate sins and save people, and he also thinks about what kind of method can make him stronger.
Mingwu said that the slowness of this is useful, and you can observe the words and colors to see that the student's heart is the quietest and the cultivation is the deepest.
Seeing that Li Wusheng listened most carefully, he realized that he had an answer, and he was very satisfied.
So Mingwu was not in a hurry or slow, looked around carefully, and held up a sutra with a smile, "You are all doctors who want to redeem souls, and your merits are immeasurable, if I want to recommend a practice book to you, my answer is this one." ”
"Lengyan Sutra".
The students were curious, and Mingwu continued to explain.
"Lotus Flower" is the outline, and "Lengyan" is the goal. The word Lengyan, that is, "the ultimate firmness", all kinds of chaos in the world, and all kinds of demonic realms are almost all mentioned in this sutra, and various ways to deal with them are pointed out. Therefore, the "Lengyan Sutra" has been used by Buddhist soul physicians since ancient times as a treasure book for breaking demons. Most of the methods can be practiced.
Of course, Lengyan is not an introductory scripture, and you can't be in a hurry to learn, Mingwu advises everyone to decide to major in the method first, and then start to learn Lengyan after this classic is thorough and diligent. Therefore, during this time, everyone is self-studying, and he is only responsible for accompanying everyone to solve doubts and fellow practitioners, and does not give lectures.
Li Wusheng felt that this old monk was a little interesting, and Mingwu quoted scriptures and classics easily in the process of narrating, and seemed to be proficient in many Mahayana classics.
Then, when Mingwu mentioned the choice of the major method, everyone began to have difficulties again, and Mingwu introduced them one by one unhurriedly.
After listening to it, Li Wusheng already had a much clearer understanding of the various mainstream methods, he was no longer entangled in anything else at the moment, and he naturally didn't consider it if he didn't have contact with the law and secrets, he was struggling with whether to practice meditation or purification.
He has contact with meditation and chanting Buddha, chanting Buddha is simple, relying on long-term practice, and it is very suitable for working and practicing. But he hasn't explored much meditation yet, and he's a bit obsessive-compulsive about it, and he always feels that what is not done must be completed...... began to take care of himself.
After introducing each sect, Mingwu mentioned that everyone should make a vow.
As a result, when it came to making a vow, one student raised his hand and asked a question.
"Teacher, now there are more and more commercial monasteries and fake monks, monks wear gold watches, ride luxury cars, raise women, people burn incense to worship the Bodhisattva, but after burning incense, they still do evil, there are fewer and fewer people who are really doing penance, and the end of the Dharma period has arrived. I want to make a vow to become a bodhisattva and get rid of the evils of the world, is it reliable to make such a vow? ”
Everyone, hehe, senior brother, you are so ambitious, and you have gotten rid of the evil in the world, and you have wood in the late stage of the second disease!
Mingwu seemed to be prepared, but just smiled, "You have understood that materialistic desires and evil paths are all over the world, and then you become angry, this is compassion, but this kind of heavenly reincarnation is irreversible, and everyone must put themselves in the context of the times to judge the situation." After the incident of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroying Buddhism, the people of the time judged that it was the end of the Dharma period. At that time, Master Hui Si was also full of worries about such a world of the end of the Dharma, but the power of mortals was limited after all, and Master Hui Si's choice was to make a vow. If you are willing to follow suit, it is recommended that you learn to be knowledgeable. Of course, as practitioners, we are all ordinary people, and first of all, we should dissolve our minds and colors, be ruthless and sexual, and always sit and practice samadhi, and then our liberation has been achieved. Not harming society is already a great merit. ”
As a result, as soon as the classmate heard Samadhi, he pointed to the cover of the little yellow text on the blackboard, and looked at Li Wusheng angrily. "Then a certain classmate is still spreading bad books and periodicals, disturbing our minds, is it Bo Xun's demon son and demon grandson?"
Several classmates were reminded and remembered that this stubble was coming, and they all looked at Li Wusheng angrily.
Li Wusheng was in a daze, and was stunned for a moment, what is the situation with this Nima, why did you suddenly crusade against me when you have to be in class? I'm about to forget about it, okay?
But if it weren't for the fact that I was making some resentment by the way, I wouldn't want to bring cover paper......
What's wrong with Bo Xun? He thinks that Bo Xun's character is so suitable to be the protagonist! Why aren't we the reincarnation of Bo Xun? If Bo Shun is reincarnated, then the beauty and money will follow properly!
Do you think this Buddha is willing to be a dragon?! Li Wusheng was also angry when he thought of this, okay, he almost dropped his pencil and scolded the scum!
Seeing that everyone was staring at Li Wusheng, Mingwu realized that the cover paper on the blackboard was realized. He stretched out his hand and waved a golden light, erasing the effect on the paper. The students took a deep breath as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Mingwu turned back and said with a smile, "Born from the heart, this is just a piece of paper, if there is no demon in the heart, naturally you can't see it, and this kind of practice is also very necessary......"
As a result, without saying a word, Li Wusheng interjected, "What does the teacher mean...... How many more should I bring next time? ”
"From ......"
"From ......"
"From ......"
◇
Of course, when the old mage said this, it was difficult for the students to say anything.
Li Wusheng can see that human nature is still difficult to change, and Buddhism is only a tool for cultivation, and what kind of cultivation each person has to achieve depends on the individual.
After that, the formal study began, and Mingwu first slowly sorted out the framework of practice for everyone, and also corresponded to the seven stages of the Huayan Sutra in the ten faiths, ten dwellings, ten elements, ten dedications, ten grounds, equal enlightenment, and wonderful enlightenment in the seven levels of the medical world. Each student also has a grasp of their own spiritual path.
Li Wusheng discovered the wonder of the number seven, Taoism and materialism also have seven corresponding stages of cultivation, although the cultivation methods are different, but the different paths are the same, and the body, energy, and psychology can be strengthened.
Seven is indeed a magic number, and although there is no correspondence in the Trinity, it is also said that God spent six days creating the world, and then left on the seventh day, so Sunday became the Sunday of the Abrahamic religions.
Li Wusheng felt that these cultivation systems were so compatible, I am afraid that they had become a tacit understanding in ancient times.
After the small class of Buddhism, there was a big class, and Gao Mingde talked about the genealogical relationship chart.
After learning some basic knowledge before, the students all knew that the spiritual power breath could be recognized, and they also mastered the method of distinguishing the breath.
And the genealogical relationship diagram is to explain why everyone's spiritual power frequency band will be different.
Gao Mingde said that at this point, he knocked on the blackboard to mark the key points:
[Because the blood relatives are similar in blood, the breath is likely to be misunderstood.] 】
Key paragraphs still need to be memorized. Everyone continued to take notes carelessly......
Li Wusheng looked at this sentence and thought it was quite interesting, at least he was very sure that if he could meet Dong Xiang's long-lost sister with the help of the breath discrimination method in the future, he would definitely go up and tease without hesitation......
After the big class, Li Wusheng decided to listen to another class.
The Taoist class was talking about alchemy, and it was about to break his head, and the Trinity Department was full of girls, so he hesitated for a while, but he still went to the materialist department to listen to the class.
This class talks about actual combat, and the person who leads the class is a major, surnamed Chu Mingjun, and he is the one who often takes intensive class students in the field before.
They are all acquaintances, and after Major Chu introduced the syllabus of the actual combat class, he went straight to the topic and took out a bottle with a flowing white glowing liquid in it. Major Chu explained that this is a mindfulness substance purified with modern technology.
