Chapter 8 Origin of Tianzun to open the world
Here, Yin Xi got the message from his subordinates, went upstairs to look, and saw a horse and land insect that was several feet long and was split in half from beginning to end, and collapsed on the ground outside Hangu Pass, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry it in, and when he got closer, he only felt a burst of fishy smell, and he knew that this demon was highly poisonous, although Ma Lu was a non-poisonous worm, but this Ma Lu general ate too much dead human flesh in the deep valley, and had corpse poison on his body.
Yin Xi ordered someone to carry down the monster's corpse and burn it, and said to the left and right: "I also knew in the past that this thousand-footed monster was a monster, and he used the demon wind to blow the past business trip, and fell down the valley for him to eat, but this monster has high skills, but it can't, so I just don't know, I don't think that this demon doesn't know what to do, and offended the saint, so he was punished." ”
"The two saints in this official residence, virtuous and unconventional, are my honored guests, you need to treat them carefully, if you dare to be negligent, I have my own means to clean up!"
Left and right are solemnly promised.
Yin Xi was about to go back to see Lao Tzu, but outside the official residence, he saw Wukong kneeling outside Chen Ang's house in despair. I just didn't make a sound, I asked Lao Tzu outside the door, and I got a promise before I entered the door.
When the moral saint saw him coming, he said to him, "I am going to the west, and it is difficult for me to stay in the valley for a long time, so that I can come in, but I want to say goodbye and leave, can you promise?" ”
Yin Xi bowed and said, "The saint travels, how can I question it?" Just ask to accompany him, and the disciple will resign and go with the saint. ”
He also asked the sage to go west, Lao Tzu said about the Hu matter, Yin Xicai pleaded: "Why did the sage teach the Hu people, and forget Yan Huang, the disciple listened to the lecture for several months, knowing that the sage is virtuous and profound, and the sage has been educated since ancient times, such as Beichen, so that the people can come out in large numbers, civilization is in the world, and now the sage is traveling west and the knowledge has not been preached, and the Tao has not been left, Yin dares not obey his fate." Please also leave a book to teach future generations! ”
Lao Tzu pondered for a moment before he smiled: "It's nothing, why force people?" That's it! That's it! I will give you 5,000 words to pass on to the world, and I will say the meaning of morality. ”
Yin Xi didn't dare to slack off, called someone to bring a knife and pen and bamboo slips, sat down with a knife and pen, engraved Lao Tzu's words, Lao Danyan said to the Tao, recorded by Yin Xi's pen, when to the third watch, Wukong knelt outside the door, the green cow led behind the house, all heard Lao Tzu's words, deep into the ears, as if intoxicated, did not feel that the sky was white, but there was no sleepiness.
Chen Ang pushed the door out and saw Wukong still kneeling outside the door, and said indifferently: "What are you still kneeling for?" Heaven and earth are free, the world is vast, it's up to you! As he spoke, he was about to close the door, but Wukong just kowtowed and said, "Master, listen to me!" ”
Chen Ang just looked at it, and Wukong burst into tears: "I have rewritten my homework, and I have already regretted it that day, and I can't wait to recover the distracting thoughts that day when I beat him to death with a stick." I was born a stone monkey, fatherless and motherless, born raised, mixed with the monkeys, rude, Xin was created by the master, do not dislike me stubborn stone dull, have to teach the way, clear to reason. When I apprenticed to the master, I still only had the idea of immortality, but I heard the master's teachings, I had to teach the truth, and I already had the heart to seek the Tao. ”
"I hope the ancestor has mercy and spare me this time!"
"Come with me!" Chen Ang took Wukong to see Lao Dan and bowed to Lao Dan: "Please help me with a real person." Then he turned his head to Wukong and said: "You are originally a spiritual creature created by heaven and earth, heaven and earth are born and nurtured but not taught, and you can see the death of the old ape in the mountains, and you know that there is a great terror between life and death, and you have to live and seek the heart of immortality, which is the natural Tao nature, and now you have fulfilled your wish." ”
"It's just that you have to know that this immortal life is just a trivial matter!"
"The stubborn stones in the mountains have to enjoy tens of millions of years of life, and the heavens and the earth are born and lived, and they live with the sky, but they are also immortal, and they do not hinder life and death. Before you transformed, you were such a fairy stone, why did you ask for it? ”
Wukong said: "I was a stubborn stone in my life, I didn't have seven tricks, although I was stained with some aura, but I was also a dead thing, how can I compare?" ”
"You also know that it can't be compared!" Chen Ang asked: "Then now that you have gained some Dao Qi, you are complacent, thinking that you are immortal, lazy in seeking the Dao, and not diligent in learning, but you have only studied with me for three months, do you think you have attained the Dao?" How are you different from dead things in our eyes? If you just want to live forever, and then mingle with birds and beasts, and indulge in the pleasures of birds and beasts, then you are just an immortal monkey. ”
"An immortal monkey, isn't it a monkey?"
"Goku, Goku! The Tai Qing people gave you a surname, and I named you, not to let you be a monkey again, but you know that you have a name like this, but it is beyond the race, so that you can see the 'true self'. After getting the name, you are no longer just a stone monkey, not just a monkey, not just the Monkey King, but a famous and unique Monkey King. ”
"You have to see yourself clearly, know where you come from, what you are, and where you're going."
"Break the stubborn stone and see Wukong, isn't this world another stubborn stone? You are not willing to learn, saying that you are out of character and cannot bear to be restrained, but in my opinion, why is it not lazy? The idea of immortality, not the idea of Taoism, the Tao is not to train yourself into a thousand-year-old king and 80,000-year-old turtle, a stubborn stone with the same longevity as the sky, but to have the ambition to move forward and evolve, you listen to me say that natural selection, survival of the fittest, humane development, don't you hear the truth of self-improvement and continuous progress? ”
"Gods and Buddhas persuade people to be good, is it true that their nature is bad? Why is it said to be rotten, just because it does not seek development, does not persuade people to move forward, but tells people to stop, endure, and remain unchanged, and to enjoy bliss after death, and good and evil are rewarded, so that everyone only seeks the blissful world, and does not see the present, and does not strive to move forward. ”
Wukong was frightened and shocked, but Chen Ang ignited the void and opened up a place of chaos casually, only to see a little non-empty and colorless, formless and phaseless chaos floating in front of Chen Ang, Chen Ang froze, and the innocent man smiled: "It turns out that I want to imitate me to open the world!" With a split of his hand, he separated the chaos that Chen Ang was holding, and there was both yin and yang differentiation, and the turbidity and two qi were entangled.
Originally, the clear qi floated up and the turbid qi settled to divide the heaven and the earth, but Chen Ang only closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes to see, a thought had swallowed that world, and that thought was born from ignorance, and then it gave birth to Brahmanism, and then it gave birth to knowledge, and from knowledge to see fame, at this time the world has been divided, and all kinds of mental activities of that thought, such as thinking, if not thinking, it is the colorless world, and seeing the hue, it will give birth to the color world, and finally the six roots of the eyes, ears, mouth and nose have been derived, and the desire world is born.
It's tedious to say, but it's actually simple, it's just a dream in Chen Ang's mind.
The dream of the dream into the world opened up by Lao Tzu, from the ignorance and the origin, there is spiritual activity, movement is action, spiritual activity and consciousness is born, consciousness will know the name and color, that is, all kinds of hues, consciousness feels hue, it is divided into three levels, out of hue feeling, the emptiness of all mental activities, born as a colorless world, all consciousness feels the concept of matter, consciousness feels everything on matter, that is, hue, this is the color world, including specific sensations and various concepts, and the specific sensory feelings, that is, the senses and touches of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, Then there is a realm of desire.
When Chen Ang opened his eyes again, that side of the chaos had already turned into a complete universe, only in Chen Ang's dream.
Chen Ang made a move, Wukong stood uncertain, and plunged into the world that Chen Ang dreamed of, this world was opened, it was Chen Ang's comprehension of the Dharma, all actions are impermanent, all laws have no self, is the first foundation, all actions are impermanent, meaning that everything in the world is in an instant to move and change, none of them live constantly, this is with materialism, everything is in motion, change and development, coincidence, Chen Ang comprehends without hindrance, but the second seal, all laws have no self, is the most fundamental difference between idealism and materialism.
First of all, the difference is whether people can know the world, Chen Ang's worldview believes that people can study and understand the world, which is agnosticism, while Buddhism believes that there is no other 'me' except 'me', and there is no other 'me' except 'me', and there is no other thing to know except 'me', and what people can know is only self, because everything else that consciousness perceives is color and appearance, and only 'me', that is, consciousness itself, is detached from hue and can be understood, and the so-called practice is the process of knowing 'me', which is the dharma without self.
The Buddha discovered emptiness beyond hue by knowing the self, but he also discovered that all other substances, even life, could not be known except the self, their consciousness was never knowable, and things other than their hue could never be obtained, that is, one could only affirm the reality of one's own consciousness, but could not determine and know whether the consciousness of others was just the embodiment of feelings, like the brain in a jar, the world in a dream.
Since everything is hue except 'me' and emptiness is in 'me', then it can be assumed that the world is in 'me', and as long as 'I' perceive the world, the world exists, and if I can't perceive the world, then the world doesn't exist, everything is just idealistic.
Everything in the world is not moved by the wind, not by the flags, but by the heart, by me.
Since the world is in me, then there is a question, where do I come from? This is the origin...... According to the Buddha, 'I' comes from ignorance, ignorance gives birth to action, i.e., mental activity, and action gives birth to knowledge, i.e., consciousness, and from consciousness we know the names and colors, that is, to perceive the hues of the world, and to regenerate all the material attributes of the senses, i.e., the realm of desire.
So there is all the touch, that is, all the contact between the consciousness and the outside world.
and then by the touch, the emotional response to the touch.
Love is love, lust, covetousness.
Love gives birth to take, and then desires drive people's behavior, pursuit.
From taking and having, behavior pursues the cause, and from the cause produces the effect, and there is life.
Finally die, and destroy everything.
This process is all dependent origination, twelve causes, in Chen Ang's view, is the process of consciousness generation, understanding the world, if consciousness is regarded as the only reality, then it is the process of consciousness generation, the process of creating the world, Chen Ang created the world with dependent origination, that one thought swallowed Lao Jun to open up two qi, is for the heart without self, all idealism, Lao Jun opened up the turbid two qi, naturally does not exist, but Chen Ang's thoughts perceive.
Then the practice of namelessness, knowledge, recognition of name, name and color give birth to six roots, six roots give birth to touch, touch to receive, to be begiving, to be begiving, to be loved, to take begotten, to be begiving, to be begotten, to be born, and then to die. It is the reincarnation of a world.
Brahma created the world in a dream, and that's it.
For Wukong at this time, isn't Chen Ang Brahma? In Chen Ang's dream, all his feelings are transformed by the realm of desire, all matter is hue, and the avenue is just a colorless sky, the emptiness is not different from the emptiness, and the color is not different from the emptiness. Everything and everything, feelings, material attributes, and even the laws of the invisible existence behind all things, are all transformed by Chen Ang's consciousness, and the more subtle actions and ignorance behind it are things that only Chen Ang himself can perceive.
Wukong is trapped in hue as if he has been reduced by Chen Ang. Like a brain in a jar, the world of information.
And Chen Ang took this opportunity to discuss the Tao with Taiqing, taking a world as a chess game, each using his own hands, verifying the path, the two joined forces to evolve the world, verify what each other had learned, but it was a sage who discussed the Tao, and often used a world as a chess, for the creatures of that world, the hand was really incredible, and the exercise of Wukong, so that he understood that immortality was separated from the will of detachment, and the heart of moving forward was just a stubborn stone, but it was only incidental!
The two wanted to turn Hu into a Buddha, so Chen Ang opened up the world with the Buddhism he had comprehended, and asked Taiqing for advice on the Buddhism he had comprehended. At the same time, in this world, Chen Ang will evolve the stars of the universe and the galaxy of the galaxy, and as soon as the idea moves, he will turn the universe into a material universe, based on atoms, and at the same time throw Wukong to a planet dominated by science and technology, first abuse it with various technologies, and then seal the six senses, reincarnate in this universe, turn into a student, read until death, do questions until death, and so on five or six times of reincarnation, and then let it go.
Tai Qingren shook his head and smiled: "Why should Tianzun embarrass your apprentice so much? Make people laugh. ”
"This monkey doesn't know my good intentions, when he suffers this robbery and dares to skip his homework, he will pay it back ten thousand times, so that he can know how powerful and understand the truth that learning makes people happy!"
