Chapter 4 Ethnic Groups
I have also seen the concept of the end of the Dharma era in some Buddhist scriptures, but judging from the words of Shakyamuni, the era of the end of the Dharma that he said seems to refer to "The evil master says that the Dharma is like the sand of the Ganges River, and the three poisonous hearts are full of sentient beings and extremely suffering." ”
The evil masters say that the evil masters in this are those gentlemen or monks who are crooked and heretical, who do not correct the Fa, but instead engage in some evil methods, develop the followers, and eventually become a cult, and then go around preaching the evil methods they practice, luring more and more people to be deceived.
For example, the sand of the Ganges River refers to the fact that in this world, there are many people who practice crooked and evil ways, and there is more than one evil teacher, such as the sand in the Ganges, and there are countless of them.
As for the three poisonous hearts mentioned later, they cannot be liberated, and the three poisonous hearts in this refer to the three poisons that Buddhism says.
Greed, hatred, stupidity.
These three poisons are also known as the three dirts and the three fires.
It is the vicious root of mutilating people's lives, causing people to sink into the cycle of life and death, and never be liberated, so it is also called the root of the three imperfections.
Greed refers to the state of disobedience, greed for things that cannot be obtained, just because you can't get it, so the greed is more abundant, the heart is unwilling, and life is naturally extremely bitter.
Hatred, this is the opposite of greed, hatred and resentment of many things, and if you are not satisfied, you will get angry and angry, this is an extremely irrational emotion, and the living will eventually be harmed by it.
Ignorance refers to the lack of distinction between good and evil, unclear right and wrong, reversal and vain, obsession with the world, excessive paranoia, and self, which can be regarded as a manifestation of foolishness.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, how many people in this world can completely abandon the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance?
There may be eminent monks, but only a handful, if not, isn't this world full of Buddhas?
When the three poisonous hearts in this world are no longer blocked, and evil thoughts flourish, the era of the end of the Dharma will naturally come.
When Buddhism dies, the rest of the religions will be destroyed, and the world may fall into darkness or be ravaged by the legendary demons.......
I have always been skeptical of this "doomsday theory", or even not believing it at all, thinking that it is a lie spread by Buddhism to spread the Dharma.
But if you think about it, isn't this kind of apocalyptic talk the same as the situation we are about to face?
The Black-robed King and the Sand-Bodyed Ones descended hand in hand to the Hereafter, and at that time, if no one could resist them, then the world would be ruined.
What politics. The house, what country, in the face of these monsters of the old days, it is all vulnerable.
Death will completely envelop the world, no ...... Perhaps death is more of a relief for people in this world.
The most terrifying thing is that the world is shrouded in endless despair, no end, no future.
In that kind of world, all people are immortal, and no one is liberated.
It's no exaggeration...... If the world really turns out like this........ I'm sure I'm scared too........
Straight to the point.
We didn't stay long at Guru Tenzin's place, and after a few hours of chatting, we took our leave, and then we were taken by Soba to Lhasa Gonggar Airport and boarded the military plane on the way back.
Actually, I don't know if Soba and Situ have passed through the gas, but seeing that he arranged it in an orderly manner all the way, and also gave us a charter flight back to Sichuan, this is really ........
"Lao Shen, you guys slow down on the road, call me if you have something, I still have some urgent things to do here, I won't send it far."
After putting us on the plane, Soba said goodbye to us one by one, and then shook my hands, and the expression on his face became complicated.
"Thank you so much this time, you are the one who defended my hometown........"
"You're welcome." I laughed and said, "You're really not going back with us?" Going to Sichuan? Should you take a vacation? ”
"If I have a holiday, there will be more troubles here, and I still have to be tired when I should be tired......." Soba sighed, with a helpless face: "But don't say it, this day is quite fulfilling, it really relaxes me, and I may not be used to it." ”
"Don't get too tired." I sighed, looking at Soba's tired face, and couldn't help but say, "You don't have an easy time on the Spirit Mountain, just don't force yourself to be tired." ”
Soba smiled, didn't say anything, and hugged me heavily.
"It's an honor to know you." Soba said in a low voice: "In the future, the two of us will definitely have less time to meet when we are busy, but don't forget to get together when you have time, I will find a chance to go to Sichuan to play with you!" ”
"Me too." I smiled and said, "It's also an honor to meet you." ”
Soba smiled and patted me on the shoulder, said goodbye to everyone, and then walked off the plane without looking back.
The plane took off after a while, although this kind of old-fashioned military plane is not as comfortable as a regular passenger plane, but it is so spacious, if we go to take a passenger plane, can the killer get in?
I'm going to have to burst the hatch!
Speaking of killing ghosts...... When he went with us to Guru Tenzin, all the way he was blinded by his disciples, which made the killer feel that he was terrible.
Aren't these lamas quite powerful? Look at how formal the ones are still wearing Dharma robes and lama clothes, and they are not the same, I can't see grandpa and me?
But this pride was quickly destroyed by Guru Tenzin.
As soon as he entered the door, Master Tenzin first asked nothing else, that is, to ask the spider boy: "Xiaoyou, your illusion is not ordinary, and it doesn't look like a magic of Buddhism and Taoism, is this a method in the Central Plains?" ”
From this point of view, Master Tenzin is far more powerful than the old man, even if the old man and the others have obtained some powerful power on the spiritual mountain, in terms of eyesight, they are still not as good as Master Tenzin who has cultivated supernatural powers.
Because of this, since then, the killer and spider boy have always seemed very lost, as if they felt that they were being seen by an ordinary lama...... Shameful?
"Don't be depressed." Chen Qiuyan reached out to the front seat and rubbed the spider boy's hair: "Master Tenzin is an existence comparable to a living Buddha, and it is not ashamed to be seen by a person like him. ”
"Hey! Don't talk about it! Don't you think Guru Tenzin is acting a little strange? Qibao suddenly shouted, as if remembering something, and hurriedly asked me, "That kind of expression of Guru Tenzin...... That tone....... It's not as simple as calm, as if I've seen them before. ”
"Probably not." Spider Boy shook his head: "We have never been to Tibet before, and we have always been as careful as possible in the outside world, basically there is no possibility of being discovered by outsiders, let alone this kind of capable person, even ordinary people cannot see us." ”
"Then there's only one possibility." The killer smiled and said, "It seems that the old lama has also seen our clansmen. ”
Hearing the killer say this, everyone also became interested, especially Qibao and the old man, their faces were full of curiosity.
But the old man was embarrassed to ask anything because of his identity, but Qibao couldn't help but look at the two of them with great interest.
"Old ghost, what's going on with your race?"
"Don't call me an old ghost." The killer frowned, and said very coldly, "We are not so familiar yet. ”
Qibao was not annoyed, and asked with a hippie smile: "Why don't I change your name?" Old killing? Old student? Which do you want? ”
"I want your life!" The killer glared and said, then he acted helplessly, sighed and said, "There are some things that I don't want to tell you, it's inconvenient. ”
"It's okay, don't say it if it's inconvenient." Qibao smiled, but did not embarrass him.
At this time, the spider boy looked at me and said, "Actually, there is nothing unseemly, don't say anything that is a little secret, and it doesn't matter if you say anything else, but you have to keep it a secret." ”
"Okay, okay! Absolute confidentiality! Qibao hurriedly agreed, and the rest of the people did the same, nodding their heads in agreement.
The killer looked at the spider boy quietly, but he didn't say a word, and listened quietly.
"Brother Shen, there are some things you don't know, you can listen to them."
When I heard the spider boy call me "Brother Shen", I couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds, and subconsciously nodded: "Okay, I'll listen." ”
"Our race...... In fact, it's the same as China's ethnic minorities....... It's just that we don't recognize the bloodline....... As long as there is an abnormality in your body...... And it's an anomaly that ordinary people can't accept....... You can all join our community........"
Spider Boy said, his expression becoming distant, as if he was recounting a distant history.
"During the Qin Dynasty, before Xu Fu went to sea, there were groups like ours in our country, and at that time they called us weirdos, or aliens, and some people called us...... Demon. ”
