Chapter 37: The Path to Buddhahood
After Ah Gong explained to me, he immediately asked the old man: "It's just that I don't understand at all, what kind of thing he leaked can be punished by lightning strike?" ”
After his explanation, I also have some understanding of the so-called heavenly punishment, and the old man's friend Bacheng is also a strange person with no low ability, otherwise how could he do something that God has to punish all the time?
"Actually, it's not a secret," the old man pointed to his head, thinking about something, and said, "I'm just afraid that you won't believe it if you hear it."
"I don't think there's anything I can't believe anymore," I said with a helpless hand to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everything that happens now has basically turned my worldview upside down, even though I'm quite happy to be exposed to this kind of thing.
I don't know what Ah Gong thinks, his brain is very smart, he didn't answer the old man's words, but showed his attitude with his eyes.
The old man gave a soft sigh and hugged us to his side, as if he was about to tell some terrible secret.
I gave him a blank look, thinking that there was no one else around, and there was something that couldn't be said to his face, so he had to make it like this.
"Shang Zu, the path left behind" The old man smiled at us, and the crazy longing in his eyes could not be dissipated for a long time
。
When I heard this, I didn't react at first, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that his words contained enough secrets to reach the sky.
Why did Shang Zu appear in the world? Why do you want to use Lotus Tiger as a stand-in?
It's all for one word: Buddha.
Therefore, what the old man is referring to is undoubtedly the way to become a Buddha.
Everything Shang Zu did was all for the sake of becoming a Buddha, and there were thousands of ways to become a Buddha, and why he was able to choose the Lotus Tiger in the sea of thousands of people was nothing more than that the Lotus Tiger's physique was just right for him.
Kindness, ignorance, and immaturity can all be said to be the character of the lotus tiger.
The two personalities derived from it helped Shang Zu to take a step further on the road to Buddhahood, but sadly, his plan failed completely, resulting in the failure of Buddhahood and his demotion to Buddhahood.
Contaminated with red dust, how can Buddhism use the Yuanjiao theory, the first belief to assert the view, the seven beliefs to break the thoughts, the eighty or ninety beliefs to break the dust and sand, the ignorance, and the heart after the ten beliefs?
If you can't even rest assured of your thoughts, how can you become the Buddha fruit of the perfect Bodhi?
The reason for Shang Zu's mistake is that he was waiting for him to go to the Heavenly Avenue, but because he couldn't control the demonic nature in his heart, he wanted to go astray and play clever tricks to hide it for nine days.
Now that the old man doesn't say whether he can have his ability, but still wants to get his secret, I can't help but wonder if he was blinded by temptation.
"Old man," I looked at him with a frown, and for the first time said to him in a rather serious manner, "Are you sure we can touch this thing?" ”
It's not that I don't want to pursue it, and I don't have to stop him, but judging from the things I have experienced, Shang Zu is obviously not a simple person, and even people like him will fail to become a Buddha.
Besides, it's one thing if the news is unreliable, and if the old man is clever enough to deceive me, won't he be going to repeat the mistakes of the past and fall into difficulties and be unable to extricate himself?
It wasn't what I wanted, so I decided to pick and choose with him in the most serious way possible.
"Indeed," the old man nodded, and did not refute my opinion, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not have gone after rumors without a brain, and then said to me, "What if I told you that there is a hidden way to get out here?" ”
After listening to what he said, I was still stunned for a moment, if he used this method to persuade me, then it really poked my heart.
I haven't experienced much in the world, and I don't have the brains of these old fritters, but every word he says is leading me into a trap.
I'm afraid the old man has long understood that for a stubborn and stubborn person like me, it is not of much use to tell the whole truth, and I must find a point that can attract me to highlight in order to convince me.
I couldn't answer him, but I had already resigned myself to my fate, so I sighed and sat down beside them.
The attitude of this is obvious, I do not refute it, I do not agree, I can only exit the session, the specific distance, or it is up to them to decide.
"What about you?" Seeing me like this, the old man smiled lightly, as if he had expected such a result, he looked at the bandit and Ah Gong, rubbed his mouth with a cigarette a few puffs, and said, "What do you think?" ”
As far as I know, the bandits are dead-headed, and they never have much doubt about the old man's words, and they basically move forward with seeing as believing and listening to explain this truth.
I still admire this mentality, at least I don't have to guess this and that, at least I don't think the old man will do something despicable to hurt the bandits.
The bandit sighed a few times, and sat down on the ground in my likeness, and no longer spoke, but his eyes drifted to the place where the hare had been roasted earlier, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"Hungry again?" I accosted him, but before he could answer, I was interrupted by Ah Gong's words.
"Master, I learned art from you at the age of fifteen, and now I have experienced no less than a small number of years, and I am the person who has the most contact with you" Ah Gong said with a little sadness, he shook his head a few times in a row, and said, "I can understand your mind, definitely not to become a Buddha, this kind of thing can't blind your eyes, besides, the matter of Shang Zu has passed for so long, you really think about whether this matter is true?" If we fail, will we lose our lives? ”
He paused for a moment and continued: "You often tell me that people do not want wealth and power to live, but to seek happiness, and if even their own nature is erased by greed, can they still be called themselves? How is this different from the greedy slave? ”
I listened to his words quietly, I don't know what kind of mood I have, I don't agree with Ah Gong's point of view, but I won't oppose it.
Reality can always give you a blow to the head when you are looking forward to the good, and teach yourself not to live in a dream.
For the first time, the old man solemnly shouted the name of Gongwei in front of me.
He patted Ah Gong's shoulder, signaled him not to be anxious, and said, "You know the old man, he is already in the sixtieth year, how can he have any strength to toss?" ”
"You can rest assured, Shang Zu's path, I won't set foot on it, but I am always indignant in my heart against my dead friend, if I can't find out this matter clearly, even if I die in the next second, I can't look at it, do you understand?"
With that, he pinched and extinguished the burning cigarette butt with his hand, no longer paying attention to Ah Gong's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and walked alone to the lotus tiger who was stuck to the purple talisman, and began to gesture.
Ah Gong, on the other hand, opened his mouth, swallowed all the words into his stomach, and sat on the ground with us with his head bowed, and there was no more doubt.
