Chapter 43: Self-Creation (Part I)
………………
"The Past Mida Sutra" is a Buddhism, is the supreme soul cultivation secret method of the Great Zen Temple, there must be a lot of monks who practice this method, but there are few dynasties who have really learned and succeeded, why? That's because they all went down the wrong path at the beginning of their cultivation, they didn't understand the essence of this sutra at all, and they didn't even understand what a Buddha was!?
What is a Buddha? The Buddha is an enlightened person, because everyone can be enlightened, and it is said that everyone can become a Buddha, but the Buddha is different, the Buddha is like the Buddha, there is the Buddha of the earth, there is the living Buddha of Jigong, and even the fighting of the Holy Buddha, all Buddhas are different.
Therefore, the most correct way to practice this sutra is to perceive one's own Buddha-nature from this Buddha image, or in other words, to understand one's own 'enlightened nature'.
Those who have not found the right way, from the very beginning, rushed to the method of cultivating the divine soul in the scriptures, and their hearts already have greed, obsession, hatred, and their hearts are not pure, how can they be 'enlightened', how can they find their own 'enlightened nature', they cannot grasp the essence and realize their Buddha nature, and how can they cultivate to a high and profound realm.
There are many reasons for the collapse of the Great Zen Temple, the most important is that the Great Zen Temple is located in the bustling city of Yujing City, which is impregnated by the red dust and desires, and has lost the quiet and empty nature of the Buddhist family, and several generations of abbots and monks have not realized the nature of the past to make up for the enlightenment in the scriptures, so the high-level has lost the most high-end combat power, coupled with the jealousy of the Daqian royal family, once it was found to be a little wrong, so it was destroyed.
If there had been a monk back then, if he had truly cultivated the past Camel Sutra, the Great Zen Temple would not have fallen to the current state. Just like the Buddhists in the modern main world, how many Buddhists are really quiet in their hearts? The same is true of Taoism. When Taoists and monks become a profession, how can they understand what Taoism is pursuing and Buddhism is pursuing?
Those who slander the Buddha. Generally speaking, they are not believers, and believers will blindly believe in the Buddha or Tao they believe in, but will not slander the Buddha, mostly Taoist priests and monks themselves, and the world is so ridiculous.
"Huh...... Hong Yi is enlightened, this is not surprising, originally he was an enlightened person. In the later period, he did not become a Buddha, but he was an enlightened person, and in the end, he still achieved the same level of Yang God as the Buddha. I found my way. ”
"The enlightened person is a certain supreme spiritual realm, and all laws are one, and in the end, no matter Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, it is this realm. Buddha is just one of them. Therefore, I don't study this sutra, I already have my way, I should create my own exercises, and learn my way. ”
"But I didn't expect Ziyue to also be enlightened, unlike Hong Yi who set up an enlightened person in his heart, but he was in harmony with the enlightened person and made up for the lack of danger in his heart, presumably because of the concubine. After the two were reincarnated as adults, they did not come together. In his heart, the white ape is the imprint of his heart, powerful, dark, lonely, lonely, and now he is in harmony with the enlightened one, and his state of mind is complete, well, in the main world, this is the primordial god has attained perfection, when there is a realm of the fourth-order primordial god, the thunder tribulation has an immortal nature, it is not a problem. ”
"After reading the Tao Sutra, and then reading this "Past Camel Sutra", the system of the world's spiritual cultivation path, I really figured it out, and I can create my own exercises, well, this has to think about it, the first step is to concentrate on the mind and condense the mind, and the pagoda is a kind of visualization, so can't other things also be? Then the second step out of the shell should be a certain nature that conceives the soul of the gods......"
Wang Daoyi pondered on the side, and also thought about the exercises he wanted to create, I am Wang Daoyi, I should establish my way, do my way, the unity of knowledge and action, I do my way.
Time flies, and two days have passed, and the number of students in the Judgment Primary School has shrunk to fifteen, to be exact, it should be divided into three regular students, Xiaosang, Xiaofei, and Xiaoshu, and twelve trainees.
A total of thirty-seven pure foxes, after a month of educational observation, only determined that there are two pure foxes that have the possibility of opening up the wisdom further, the other pure foxes, after a month of soy sauce is still ignorant and ignorant, if it weren't for Tu Lao Tian to take care of it, it would have run away a long time ago.
This month has passed, and it is basically determined that they have no potential, and after discussing with Tu Lao, they are finally sent back to live in the deep mountains and valleys behind the academy, these pure foxes are much more spiritual than ordinary foxes, and the next generation may give birth to pure foxes with good qualifications, and maybe, it is the right choice to release them into the wild. On weekdays, he is still taken care of by Tu Lao, as the ancestor of this pure fox, Tu Lao will not give up any opportunity to expand the number of real pure foxes.
Now there are fifteen students in this conviction elementary school, divided into regular students, and probationary students, and if the probationary students do not awaken more spiritual wisdom and give birth to divine souls in one semester (that is, half a year), they will also be dismissed, on the contrary, if they awaken more spiritual wisdom and give birth to divine souls in one semester, they will be officially promoted to regular students.
Because of the fact that most of the students have been reduced, Hong Yi and Wang Daoyi also have more time to practice martial arts and Taoism, and it is also because of this consideration that they dismissed those pure foxes who had no potential, after all, the main purpose of Wang Daoyi to establish the academy is still to cultivate.
At the same time, Wang Daoyi also really added the third lesson in addition to literature and mathematics in the past two days, painting, or art.
Fine art is a form of creation and creative result that uses a brush to paint the nature of heaven and earth, and gives one's own thoughts in the work. That's fine art.
For such a lofty statement, Xiaofei and the other three official students were all confused, and the other twelve students did not understand, they only knew that the two gentlemen were going to toss them again, and they were extremely distressed.
Among them, Xiaofei is the most distressed, they have finally been able to use a pair of 'fox hands' to hold the pen to write, but now they have to draw further!
Why do you say it's a 'fox hand'? That's because they shaved the hair on one side of a pair of fox claws in order to hold the pen, and also cut off the sharp claws on the fox claws and grinded them off. No, is it difficult to be a strong 'fox'?
For such a thing, Tu Lao had some complaints, but after Bai Ziyue and Hong Yi explained that art is conducive to students' more effective cultivation of the soul and contemplation, he didn't say much.
And it's just that this course is added, and it is not mandatory to learn it well like literature and mathematics, and this art can only be selected as an elective course.
It is conceivable what the results of these fifteen students are in art class, especially the twelve trainees, who obviously want to draw a circle in art class, but they can't even count as a ball on paper, so Xiaofei and the other three formal students draw a little like it, but it is only slightly better than an ellipse.
Mr. Wang and Mr. Hong are not eager for the students' art class results, this is to add a better possibility to their future, and it is nothing if they can make it to the end, but if they don't.
Besides, it is indeed difficult for a pure fox to draw a strong 'fox'.
Fortunately, in the future, the academy will inevitably increase the number of human students, and then it will be enough to add some strength to the study of painting.
Those who have read "The Camel Sutra of the Past" all understand that art and painting have a power that cannot be ignored for the cultivation of the soul in the future, so they naturally need to pay attention to it.
