Chapter 322: Teacher
Sun Wukong asked Patriarch Subodhi: "Dare to ask Patriarch, what is the use of this magical power?"
"It's an incredible supernatural power." Patriarch Su Bodhi said slowly: "The so-called Jiena Sumeru, Mao swallows the sea, 48,000 insects can be seen in a drop of water, where the supernatural power is, can make the Sumeru Yanfu world absorb mustard seeds, and a single hair can also swallow the breadth of the four seas. ”
"I'll pass on the trick to you, and when you learn it, go down the mountain." Su Bodhi said, telling all the magical powers of this Mao swallowing the sea.
After Sun Wukong remembered it, he practiced on the spot, and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with it.
At this time, he was a little hesitant for no reason.
Although he came to Su Bodhi Patriarch to learn the Tao with a utilitarian heart, this teacher has also known everything about him for several years, and he has not had any desire to seek, so he is finally a good teacher.
Right now, I am about to leave, and I will inevitably feel a little sad in my heart.
Seeing this, Patriarch Su Bodhi smiled lightly: "In vain, you are so affectionate, and it is not considered a game between the teacher and your master and apprentice, if you are free in the future, remember to come back and see such a fellow disciple." ”
Sure enough, because he is not as out of character as the monkey in the original book, he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and his temperament somewhat reassures Patriarch Subodhi, not only did he not say that he would cut off the relationship between master and apprentice, but also let him have time to come back and see.
At this time, Sun Wukong raised his head, looked at the teacher, and asked: "The disciples learn all the Taoism from the teacher, and they don't know the origin of the teacher. ”
In the original work of Journey to the West, there has been no mention of the origin of the Patriarch Su Bodhi, and in later generations, there are many people who tend to be attached to the righteousness, and many conspiracies have been derived, saying that the Patriarch of Su Bodhi is the Buddha of the Buddha, and even more, the gods and the Journey to the West are confused, and they are not involved in the Romance of the Gods.
Patriarch Su Bodhi pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "My origin is not unusual, that is, this person who has attained enlightenment, it is difficult to escape the calamity of heaven and earth, don't mention it." ”
"Heaven and Earth Calamity?" Wukong immediately asked again.
"Well, since you are leaving, this should be regarded as the last lesson for the teacher and you."
Patriarch Su Bodhi twisted his beard, and then told the history of this heaven and earth:
"Before Wuji, a spirit has its own, and its name is Yuan Shi Tianzun.
After Wuji gave birth to Taiyi, Taiyi gave birth to Taichu, Taichu gave birth to Taishi, Taishi gave birth to Taiji, and Taiji became the world of yin and yang.
When this heaven and earth is completed, a spirit is born, and this spirit will always exist, and it is said that Lingbao Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun then divides this heaven and earth into five tribulations, and plays the yin and yang world.
After that, yin and yang turn into qi, evolve all things, give birth to Taishang Laojun, Laojun is the embodiment of all things, the body of qi is also, scattered is qi, and gathering is Taishang Laojun, which is to Laojun All things are omnipresent, also known as Tao.
Since then, Lao Jun opened the heavens to create the world, each world should be 129,600 years old, for the number of one yuan, since then one yuan has been renewed, Vientiane is renewed, every 129,600 years, the life of heaven and earth has come to this, Lao Jun will reopen the world.
The first life is Hongyuan, and the second life is mixed yuan...... It has been 1,750 eons in this life. ”
The beginning is self-existent, and the spiritual treasure is eternal.
These two are their own eternal existence, which do not depend on anything, and contain the Tao represented by Taishang Laojun, but they are separated from it.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Taishang Laojun to be the end of the Three Qings, and the beginning of the Yuan is the head of the Three Qings.
After that, Su Bodhi sighed: "As a teacher, he is also a person in this calamity. ”
Sun Wukong said secretly: "I see, if I came to press the monkey, I said that the Jade Emperor has practiced since he was a child, and there have been 1,750 eons so far, and each calamity should be 129,600 years, this is right, the Jade Emperor was selected as the Jade Emperor from the first heaven and earth tribulation, and the heaven and earth are destroyed and I am not destroyed." ”
"Therefore, my generation said that it was immortal, and it lived with heaven and earth, but in fact, it was only 129,600 years of life." Patriarch Subodhi said with a smile.
Sun Wukong immediately asked again: "Isn't there a way to transcend the longevity of heaven and earth?" ”
Su Bodhi shook his head and said: "We are all born in heaven and earth, how can we transcend the longevity of heaven and earth, but don't worry, the Tao is transformed, heaven and earth come to the Tao, return to the Tao, and then come again and repeat life." ”
As he spoke, Su Bodhi pointed to a peach tree outside the door and said: "It's like the petals under this tree, although it is derived from the peach tree, but the peach tree was born in the earth, and its petals returned to the earth, and eventually turned into a yuan to nourish the trunk. ”
Sun Wukong said secretly: "The origin is the same origin, but what about thoughts, not the same consciousness, what is the difference between death and death?" ”
Even if a peach blossom tree is reopened, can it still have the exact same petals?
Patriarch Su Bodhi seemed to see through Wukong's thoughts, shook his head and said, "Idiot, you are too young to understand. ”
Monkey King, no! It should be Li Xiaodao's soul, at this moment, for the first time in his life, he was a little confused.
Doesn't he understand?
Seeing this, Patriarch Subodhi said: "However, although everything in heaven and earth cannot escape the number of one yuan, there is one thing, which is not in this case. ”
Sun Wukong hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”
"Indoctrination!"
Patriarch Subodhi spat out two words from his mouth.
"Educate ......" Sun Wukong muttered these two words, and suddenly realized, "Is it a doctrine?" ”
"Yes, yes." Su Bodhi Patriarch showed a teachable look, then twisted his beard, and said slowly: "This world has experienced 1,750 eons, each calamity is the ancestor of the Three Qing Dao opened the heavens and passed down the classics, such as "Taishang Yuan Shi Tianzun Sutra", "Wuji Lingbao Tianzun Sutra of Salvation and Suffering", "Dongxuan Immeasurable Taishang Laojun Sutra", it is precisely because of the three Qings that the world is born gods, saints, immortals, sages, and ......people."
"No matter in that eon, the Three Pure Dao Methods are the scriptures that all sentient beings rely on to practice."
But Wukong immediately asked the question: "What about Buddhism?" ”
"The Buddha is also the one who robbed the living." Patriarch Su Bodhi smiled, and then, he showed a deep groan, and said, "However, this is the second life of Buddhism. ”
"There was also Buddhism in the last life?"
Patriarch Su Bodhi nodded and said, "The Buddha of the previous life was called the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, and because he had already sat in the past, he was called the Buddha of the past. ”
"This is what the teacher just said, only the doctrine of all things in heaven and earth is not in the one eon, because the doctrine is an acquired thing, not the evolution of the innate qi, and if there is a doctrine that can make sentient beings practice good, they are qualified to continue to spread in the next life, and the Buddhist doctrine of the Buddha lighting the lamp in the past is used by Lao Jun to ignite the Buddha in this world, this is the story of Lao Jun turning Hu into a Buddha."
"I see!" Sun Wukong finally understood.
"Do you have a doctrine, teacher?"
Patriarch Su Bodhi shook his head and smiled: "I have a mixture of three families, but it has always been difficult to get rid of the shackles of the three families, but I am still in the three sects, so I am not a sideline." ”
Sun Wukong nodded, his doubts were finally solved, and even his heart was clear about how the fruit position came about.
It's also time to leave.
Before leaving, Sun Wukong sincerely knelt in front of Patriarch Su Bodhi and performed three kneels and nine bows.
This kneeling is Li Xiaodao's sincerity and sincerity for a teacher.
Humanity is a teacher: preaching, teaching, and solving doubts!
Su Bodhi Patriarch, deserves his respected teacher!
