Chapter 52 Changde Yuandun Temple
Starting from Changsha, driving northwest through the national highway, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, arrived at the urban area of Changde, did not stop much in the urban area, went straight to the north, passed through the Liuye Lake to the Sun Mountain.
The crape myrtle aura in Changsha was almost exhausted, and now it is in urgent need of pranayama replenishment. Although the floating life is full of aura, it is also a good time to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan. Sun Mountain is the last peak of the Wuling Mountains to the east, and the scenery on it is abundant and pleasant.
Since 1992, it has been developed as the Sun Mountain Forest Park. The car can drive directly to the base of the mountain and walk to the top. Although it was nearly dusk, there was no hurry.
In addition to the surrounding mountains and wilderness scenery that attracted me, the aura of all living beings that could be felt everywhere also slowed me down. The Yang Consciousness Refining Body is operating, but it is not to speed up the walking speed, but the Divine Consciousness induces the aura in the body and merges with the environment. and with a little yin to control the eyes, carefully write down what they see.
The less yin is stored in the sun, and then the floating and refining qi is running in the less yin, this is my current cultivation method, which can be described as walking, sitting, and lying down and constantly practicing. This method was also after going to the Sun Peak, and it suddenly came to me.
After climbing for more than 40 minutes along the artificially constructed road, he came to the top of the main peak. At this time, the sun is close to the horizon, and the red light reflects the surrounding clouds, which is really a beautiful sunset.
Watch the sun set and sit cross-legged. Begin to recite the crape myrtle sutra silently in your consciousness as you did when you meditate for the first time. As the sky slowly darkened, I finished my daily meditation, but I didn't think about going down the mountain, but continued to cultivate floating life refining qi in the same place.
Thinking back to that time, the aura that was rapidly absorbing and transforming was accumulating in the body, and the whole body was hot and painful, and at the same time, it was also refining the body. Now I feel the aura in my consciousness, and I am rebuilding and repairing my body little by little while it is running.
After a night of sitting on the Mt. del Sol, in the morning when the sun was rising, I stood up and faced the east and watched the sun rise. In the distance, the mountains were rolling and foggy. While enjoying the sunrise, you can also feel the changes in the clouds.
But when I saw the clouds rolling up, the fog moved with the wind. There was also a mist flowing out of the body, slowly fluttering in the wind on the top of the mountain. Integrate with the mountain breeze and flow with the change of your mind.
After watching the sunrise, follow the ridge and head south. Today's weather is sunny and bright, and you can overlook the urban area of Changde from the top of the mountain.
Changde City, because it is located under the Wuling Mountains, was called Wuling in ancient times. The original urban area is now Wuling District, and the original Changde County was merged into Changde City in 1988, and it is now one of the two districts, Dingcheng District.
From the source of the Qingshui River in Guizhou, the Yuรกn River, which flows through more than 1,000 kilometers, passes between Wuling District and Dingcheng District, and is submerged in Dongting Lake. For Changde, the Yuan River, together with the tributaries of Liuye Lake in the northeast, makes Changde rich in aquatic products and developed waterways.
After visiting the Sun Mountain Forest Park, it was already noon when I drove back to Changde City. When I was looking for a place to have lunch and was about to wander around the street, I received a call from the liaison officer of the Ninth Department, saying that the Changde police had made relevant discoveries and that I could go and find out.
I found a place on the map of Changde I just bought, and then drove away. I learned from the police station that there is a local church called 'Yuantun Famen', which has just been established, and often goes around distributing propaganda documents to promote doctrine and attract believers.
Follow the address you got at the police station and drive to the temple of the Yuandun Dharma Gate. Out of the center of the city, come to a river in the west of the city. When I didn't get closer, I couldn't see anything unusual at all. When I got closer, I saw that the courtyard of a tiled house had been renovated, and a plaque was hung under the eaves of the gate, which read 'Yuandun Temple'.
The whole yard is not small, sitting north and facing south. When you enter through the main gate, the first thing you see is a large hall that is a little higher on both sides, and a little lower on the left and right sides, which is a side room. This is supposed to have been rebuilt during the renovation, and it is rare for a tiled house in the countryside to have this style.
I walked in, and there was a date palm tree and an old well in the yard. Looking at the hall in the middle, there is also a plaque hanging on the lintel of the gate, which reads 'Holy Ancestral Hall'. At this time, someone saw me come in and came out of the temple of the Holy Ancestors and spoke.
"This little brother, are you here to find someone?" A woman said.
I looked at her with a sense of confidence, but found nothing, so I replied, "I heard that there is a temple here, so I came and looked, I don't think you look like a nun." โ
Although the woman opposite was wearing a gray monk's robe, she had long hair and a square face, and she looked average.
"I'm not taking refuge in Buddhism, it's the Yuandun method, and of course I'm not a nun." She said.
"Oh! So what is the difference between your Yuandun method and Buddhism? โ
"Our philosophy is the same as Buddhism, all beings are equal, as long as you believe in the Holy Ancestor of Yuandun, you can go to heaven."
It sounded strange to me, as if heaven was so appealing. Then she continued: "If the little brother is interested, you can go into the temple and listen to the practitioner's teachings. โ
Hearing her say this, I nodded, planning to go in and see what kind of sect this Yuandun method was, and whether there were any evil cultivators involved in it. Entering the main hall, I saw a clay statue of the Dharma body about two meters high, sitting on the altar facing the gate.
The clay statues are painted with colored lacquer and beautifully dressed. The face of this clay statue is a little foxy in the delicate, and there is no male or female. Under the thin eyebrows are a pair of big eyes, slightly open and coldly looking ahead, with a rosary hanging around his neck, his hands holding up and down, wearing a bright yellow monk's robe inside, and a red cloth wrapped around the outside to make a robe.
"This is the Yuandun Holy Ancestor?" I looked at the clay statue sitting cross-legged on the half-meter-high platform and asked suspiciously.
She nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, but motioned for me to follow her to the right wing. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, isn't his outfit a Buddha, how did he become a Yuandun method.
When I lifted the yellow curtain full of scriptures, I saw that it was neatly filled with people, about two dozen people, all of whom were closing their eyes. Looking at their outfits, they are all ordinary people, and they should be newly recruited believers.
I came without attracting everyone's attention, as if I hadn't heard anyone coming in. She pointed to the ground and motioned for me to sit down. I saw that the others were also sitting on the floor, and they were also sitting down, not cross-legged like everyone else.
In the middle of the wall in front of the crowd, there is a hand-painted painting, which is obviously a clay figure outside. However, there is one more man and one woman in the painting, the man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and noble, standing on both sides.
In front of the portrait is a square table covered with yellow cloth, on which is placed a large tape recorder with two horns, the kind that can hold two tapes at the same time. Something was playing, like chanting.
Since the sound is not very loud, listen carefully. At first, it was only some unintelligible words, but as I listened for a longer time, I felt comfortable all over my body, and the sound that I thought was boring began to attract my attention.
Before I knew it, I was closing my eyes, and I felt like I was going through something wonderful, and I couldn't describe it. Just as I was fascinated by the sound, the sound stopped abruptly.
Then he opened his eyes, looked around, and everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream at the gate, and then they began to talk to each other. And what everyone said was how beautiful and comfortable they felt just now.
When I looked at the tape recorder, I saw a woman sitting in the chair behind the table in the fourth room, and the woman who brought me in was standing next to her, as if she had turned off the tape recorder.
The woman sitting is not very beautiful, but under the backdrop of the woman next to her, she is also a little beautiful, and people can't help but look at her a few more times. After a few more glances, I will slowly feel that she is very attractive, especially the mole under her lips, which makes people feel that under her dignified appearance, there is a hidden debauchery and wildness.
"Dear devotees, this concludes today's public puja." She said lightly, and the moment she spoke, the room fell silent.
"Ahh And that's the end of it? Someone broke the silence and said abruptly.
"We still have to listen!" Another man also said.
Then the 20s or so people started to make noise, and when they heard the noise of the crowd, they all wanted to continue the puja. At this time, the square-faced woman beside her said, "If you still want to continue to participate in the puja and listen to the supreme Sanskrit sound of the Yuandun Holy Ancestor, you need to voluntarily become a Yuandun initiate. โ
"I do!"
"I do, too!"
I saw the sitting woman stretch out her hand to signal quiet, and then said with a smile on her face: "Those who want to join the Yuandun Method, come up and register the information." There was another commotion, and they rushed to the square table.
I was still sitting on the ground, not moving. Thinking back to what I just experienced, I feel that things are not simple, and I have to continue to observe the next situation. So he also stood up and followed the line that was already lined up under the command.
Ten minutes later, it was my turn. The woman who brought me in asked, "What's your name?" Where do you live? Have siblings? โ
"Do you have to say all this?" I asked suspiciously, if I said it all, I would have exposed a lot of information about myself.
Hearing my voice, the woman raised her head, saw that it was me, and said, "It's you, little brother, if you don't worry, just tell me my name." โ
"My name is Huang Wuyi." I casually said a name from memory.
I wrote my name in the register, and then the woman sitting handed me a yellow paper bag, and when I reached out to take it, she smiled slightly. Seeing her smile up close makes people's hearts move, especially the mole under her lips, as if it has hooked the beast lurking in the bottom of your heart.
At this moment, the Yang Consciousness Refining Body in the body operated on its own, and the evil thoughts that had just arisen disappeared in an instant, and the consciousness was awake again. The people in line behind me saw me looking at the woman in a daze, so they pushed me hard.
I stumbled and almost fell, and looked back at the man who was pushing me, he was a tall and powerful man, wearing a white vest, and he was also looking at himself fiercely.
In desperation, I stepped aside and stood, thinking about what had just happened to me. A minute later, everyone present, men, women, and children, was registered, and there was not a single one who had not registered.
"Now that everyone has registered, from now on, you are the followers of the Yuandun Holy Ancestor, and we are all Yuandun initiates." The seated woman said, and the other square-faced woman had already gone out with the registration book.
"When does the puja start?" Someone couldn't wait to ask.
"Everyone is still sitting like when they started, and it's about to start."
Then everyone sat back on the concrete floor, only to see her flip over the tape and press the play button. Everything feels like it did at the beginning, it feels comfortable and wonderful.
Time passed little by little, and I gradually felt that this voice seemed to be pulling the consciousness of Shaoyin. When I realized this, the realm of the sun flashed, and the strange feeling brought by the sound of chanting was swept away.
However, I didn't open my eyes, I just frowned slightly, I figured out everything, and I understood the intention of this Yuandun method. If I'm right, when the puja is over, they'll be selling the tapes.
Thinking of this, I opened my eyes slightly, looked at the woman who was still sitting behind the square table, pinched my right hand to look at the qi, and looked over, as expected, she was shrouded in a layer of faint white gas.
When I first entered the temple gate, I saw a square-faced woman, and she was an ordinary person. But later, after listening to the sound of chanting, I didn't show any more contemplation and determination, and even when I looked at her, the fire of desire rose in my heart.
And now that I have figured it out, as long as I strengthen the realm of the sun and curb the lack of yin, I will no longer be affected by the sound of chanting. But it also made me wonder what would happen if this situation went further. Is his Yang Consciousness Refining Body completely inoperable?
This is not impossible, in principle, what the chanting sound manipulates is the person's consciousness of less yin. If it makes people feel comfortable, it can also make people feel sad and miserable.
The main consciousness in the Sun Realm thought quickly, and suddenly it occurred to him that he had encountered a similar situation before. When I was in Hong Kong, the 'Senluo Purgatory' performed by Hui Zhongzi was a kind of spiritual sound wave.
Thinking of this, I began to relax in the realm of the sun, and after a dozen or so breaths, I entered the realm of yin consciousness. Start playing back those chanting sounds, and run the Taiyin refining body, feel and experience that strange feeling, and take this great opportunity to comprehend the principle of this technique.
People's thoughts have a lot to do with what they see and hear. If the ancients had a rare opportunity to experience this, then as a modern person, there are many opportunities to experience it. In terms of visuals, the impact of TV and photos is far greater than before.
I've seen some portraits of ancient figures, and there is indeed a unique beauty. But compared to modern times, photos are more impactful. Television pushes visual to the extreme, and when I was in Hong Kong, I also saw all kinds of CDs and various types of content in shopping malls, which can be said to contain all the beauty and evil of human beings.
When watching these movies, you can feel the feeling that the picture wants to convey, and the complex emotions that the protagonist experiences. This is a feeling that no one has been able to imagine before.
And the same is true of music, through small headphones, the sound of music in the ear is immersive. Sad music makes people depressed, cheerful rock music makes people excited, and many times they will unconsciously hum a sentence or two.
The scene you see is not the scene you are currently in, and the sounds you hear are not the sounds around you, but because of these pictures and sounds, you can change your consciousness, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and actions. This isn't a modern version of illusion, and what is it!
