Chapter 376 The Seven Treasures of Buddhism on the Seventh Floor of the Relic Stupa
"Just now we were caught in our own demons, what we think in our hearts, these golden cicadas will become something in front of us, what appears in front of me is the Buddha, it can be seen that I have a Buddha in my heart! What appears before your eyes means what is in your mind? This kid didn't fall into his own demons, it can be seen that he has no distractions, no people to care about, or things he wants to do, just living in this world in ignorance, without pursuit, without faith! The old monk said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master, what you said is not right, just now I saw a policeman chasing me with a gun, chasing me for several streets!" Miao Weiqiang said.
"Have you done anything bad?" The old monk asked.
"Well, no, I'm a good boy, and I've been law-abiding since I was a child!" Miao Weiqiang paused for a while and said.
"Boy, you can fool me, but you can't fool these Buddha cicadas!" The old monk said.
Miao Weiqiang was embarrassed, the reason why he saw the police was because he used to be a pickpocket, and what he was most afraid of was being discovered by the police when he was stealing, probably because of this reason, the police would appear in front of him!
Dong Tinghua told what happened just now, when Zhou Tianyi and Miao Weiqiang were shocked when they heard that these cicadas could emit golden light and resist Dong Tinghua's powerful attack, the cultivation of these cicadas should be no different from the Western Heavenly Gods and Buddhas!
The old monk seemed calmer, and didn't react too much!
The four of them stayed on the sixth layer for a while, solved the doubts in their hearts, and were full of questions about the golden cicadas on this layer, whether these cicadas had a close relationship with Tang Xuanzang, and whether Tang Xuanzang became these golden cicadas, this question really couldn't be answered.
Thinking that Tang Xuanzang came here thousands of miles ago to learn scriptures and took away more than 160 relics, is it really just to obtain the scriptures, or to revisit the old place of the relics pagoda!
The four of them followed the stairs to the seventh floor, and were approaching the eighth floor step by step!
When they came to the seventh layer, everyone was attracted by the golden treasure in front of them!
In the seventh layer, it was full of rare treasures, Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua's faces flashed with disbelief, how could there be so many rare treasures in the Buddhist relic's pagoda? Aren't the Buddhists abstaining from greed, so they still hoard so many treasures.
"Seniors, the Buddha also loves money, you see so many treasures, if you take it out, it will be enough for a few lifetimes!" Dong Tinghua said that he despised the Buddha very much in his heart, and thought that there were no treasures in this relic, but he didn't expect that there were so many rare treasures hidden.
"These are not worldly gold and silver jewelry, these things are all the seven treasures of Buddhism!" The old monk said, observing the space on the seventh floor, although it is full of rare treasures, there are only seven kinds, judging from this point, these should be the seven treasures of Buddhism.
"The Seven Treasures of Buddhism! Aren't these things pearl agate, how can you return the seven treasures of Buddhism? Dong Tinghua asked puzzled.
The old monk looked mentally handicapped, glanced at Dong Tinghua and said: "The so-called Seven Treasures of Buddhism refer to these gold, silver and jewelry ・・・・・!" ”
The Seven Treasures of Buddhism; Refers to the seven kinds of treasures, also known as the seven treasures. The seven treasures are gold, silver, amber, coral, clams, red beads, and manau.
In the Amitabha Buddha such as the resident Pure Land Western Elysium there are "seven treasures", the first "treasure" is gold and silver, gold represents a kind of health, many Bodhisattvas who please go home to cast a golden body, means "gold body protects the body, all diseases do not invade", on behalf of health and longevity, silver also represents health and longevity at the same time silver is also a thing to ward off evil, silver represents the light of the "Buddha", the newborn child with silver jewelry is to beg for peace, health, in addition to gold has the meaning of prosperity, if it is a wish to the Bodhisattva, after the magic to the Bodhisattva to gild the body, here " Real gold is not afraid of fire."
This is also the origin of the saying that the Buddha wears gold!
Amber: Amber is a 40 million-year-old fossilized pine resin, along with pearls and coral, which are the three major organic gemstones. Only fossilized pine resins that are more than 40 million years old are hard enough to be set into jewelry. In Buddhism, there are three schools of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom", and people will increase their concentration when they get rid of the troubles in the world, and after having a certain amount of concentration, they will have a mind as clear and quiet as stopping water, and when they are stable to a certain extent, they will have the ability to judge right and wrong and the way to deal with problems in everything in the world.
Amber is also a valuable medicinal material, which is recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica": Amber can calm the mind, calm the five organs, clear the mind, and calm the mind. It corresponds to the three schools of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom" in Buddhism, and the practice of amber can help people generate concentration, and it is a treasure of blessing and blessing for practitioners in Buddhism. Both Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are people who remove disasters and difficulties, and amber is also a gift from the Buddha to people, so that it can relieve people's mental and physical suffering. Amber is a gemstone that has been cultivated over millions of years, and the use of amber as one of the seven treasures of Buddhism is also to show that in order to obtain the true transmission of the Buddha, it is necessary to go through a long period of practice, and it is necessary to stand the test before gradually becoming enlightened.

At the same time, Buddhism has the theory of the Ten Dharma Realms, and the "Hell, Hungry Ghosts, Animals, Shura, Human World, and Heavenly Realms" in the Ten Dharma Realms actually refer to the six personality deviations of human beings, and the "Shravaka, Enlightenment, Bodhisattva, and Buddha Realm" are the four progressive states of life with positive forces. The deviation can be connected with the "seven chakras" of the human body, the "seven chakras" of the human body, the sea chakra, the reproductive chakra, the sun chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the eyebrow chakra, and the crown chakra through the mysterious forces such as the piezoelectric nature of the crystal, the oscillation of 8 million times per second, the focusing refraction, the storage of data, the transmission of information, the energy conversion, and the expansion of energy. Later, there is a special chapter on the regulation, correspondingly, by balancing the body's endocrine, strengthening the activity of brain cells, etc., and the positive state of life can also help the suitor through the natural energy of crystals.
