Chapter 1105: Undecided
Some of the great monks are even able to stay in meditation for a long time without the need for sleep. Don't think that in the middle of the meditation is to sit and fall asleep. In Dingzhong, the mind is very clear, and you can even observe this shijie through supernatural powers! For advanced practitioners, meditation is a real rest.
On the second and third days, the realms of Green Wing and Xuanyuan Star advanced by leaps and bounds, and on the afternoon of the third day, they broke through the realm of 'Future Zen' and entered the realm of 'First Zen Heaven', and gained the happy feeling of leaving the realm of desire.
And Zhang Fan is still physically and mentally gone, and there is no progress. The only progress is that Zhang Fan seems to have entered the realm of non-regression of 'Future Zen'. Because at any time, he can enter this state of tranquility without hindrance. This is true even when going to the toilet and eating.
This is not a bad thing in a way, but it seems that there are very few people who are able to enter the realm of non-retreat and are unable to continue to go deeper into the higher realm. You must know that after reaching a certain state of non-retreat, you can at least rely on this foundation to easily ascend to a more advanced meditation state of the third level or more. If Zhang Fan is in this situation now, it can be said that there has never been.
On the fourth day, Green Wing was stabilizing the realm of the 'First Zen Heaven', and Xuanyuan Xing easily broke through to the realm of the 'Second Zen Heaven', and obtained a sense of tranquility after entering the realm, called the feeling of 'Joy of Determination'. This feeling of happiness is a feeling of serenity and happiness that arises in both the body and the state of mind, forgetting all the troubles of the world. And the 'First Zen Heaven' that is far away from all the troubles of the world, and it is one step deeper! It's as if a person has just walked to a quiet place and gets the happiness of being away from the hustle and bustle of troubles, and the happiness of staying in a quiet place for a long time and forgetting all the hustle and bustle of troubles, of course, the latter goes deeper.
In the next three days, Green Wing also entered the realm of 'Erzen Heaven'. Xuanyuan Star has been wandering in this realm. Only once when I entered the time, I barely experienced the realm of the 'Three Zen Heavens', but it was very unstable, and I quickly retreated to the 'Two Zen Heavens'. Because the feeling of the three Zen heavens is the realm of 'leaving joy and happiness'.
In this realm, I actually gave up all my joy and got a very subtle happiness. But Xuanyuan didn't grasp this feeling, so he made up his mind. He liked the peaceful feeling of Erzen very much. But the Zen master immediately let him withdraw from the Second Zen Heaven Realm, because Xuanyuan Xing's desire for tranquility was actually very dangerous. It is easy to be possessed by a heavenly demon and enter the evil path.
Compared with the two Zen Heaven realms of the green wing, it is more stable than Xuanyuan Star. Because Green Wing doesn't crave the joy of tranquility, he just sees it as a spiritual process.
This is the advantage of having a Zen master by their side, who can know what kind of meditation they have entered and whether they have encountered demons just by looking at the appearance of the person who has entered the meditation. Correct the meditator's mistakes in a timely manner. Next, Xuanyuan Xing was asked by the Zen master to consolidate in the realm of the first Zen heaven and repeatedly experience the meaning of meditation. The second Zen day can only be tasted at a superficial level, and once entered, it must be decided immediately.
And when Green Wing and Xuanyuan Star were progressing rapidly, Zhang Fan still did not retreat in the realm of 'Future Zen' that was forgotten both physically and mentally, and there was no sign of ascending to a higher level. This made the two Zen masters puzzled.
However, on the contrary, Zhang Fan does not have much attachment, since this is the case, maybe he is not suitable for practicing this meditation method for the time being. Anyway, I have been able to live in 'Future Zen' without retreating. In a way, it is much stronger than Green Wing and Xuanyuan Star, which have not reached the realm of non-retreat in any realm.
As soon as Zen Qi passed, Zhang Fan contacted Akon, unexpectedly, this guy was also forced by his senior brother to practice meditation and Tuna, and cultivate the Daoji. And it's seven days of Bigu practice! This day also happens to be the day of Zuihou in Bigu, and he has not yet left the customs. The call was answered by the senior brother who was guarding outside the meditation room. It is estimated that this kid is out of the customs, and he is probably so hungry that he has no strength to call back.
Akon's senior brother asked Zhang Fan and them to pick up Akon halfway, because he calculated that Akon was likely to encounter danger when he went down the mountain this time. Zhang Fan and the three of them were shocked and immediately agreed. Then he said goodbye to the Bodhi tree spirit and the old Zen master.
Zhang Fan made a big salute, and the old Zen master said to him: "Come here, I will stroke the ...... for you" Zhang Fan immediately stepped forward respectfully, and the old Zen master put his hand on the top of Zhang Fan's head, closed his eyes, and recited the Buddhist mantra softly.
Zhang Fan felt a feeling of both coolness and warmth, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, which was very comfortable. The old Zen master withdrew his hand and smiled at Zhang Fan: "I see. Have you practiced the Seven Senses of Renunciation before? Or Brahmanical 'Brahmanical 'Brahmanical oneness' meditation? ”
Zhang Fan's heart moved, and he immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, both of these can be regarded as practiced." I have received the Hindu 'Brahma Divine Plate' and have felt the realm of 'Brahma-self oneness'......"
The old Zen master smiled and nodded, "You have a very high level of understanding, not only have you felt the 'unity of Brahman and me', which has made the realm of meditation reach the 'unthinkable sky' of the color realm, but also broken through this realm and experienced the realm of 'Brahman and self'!" So when you're practicing the 'Seven Meditations' here, the realm is confused. What you are staying in is not the realm of 'future Zen', but the 'non-imagining' of entering the outer path! ”
"I'm resident in 'Undecided'?" Zhang Fan was shocked, because this 'non-thinking' is a kind of meditation that destroys all thoughts in Brahmanism in order to seek the retribution of thoughtlessness. If one stays in this state of meditation and thinks that 'non-thinking' is the ultimate and highest state and cannot continue to improve oneself and cannot generate the wonderful use of altruism, then one's good roots will be lost, and one will even become indifferent and heartless, without compassion, compassion, and even wisdom.
The old Zen master shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the realm you are in is a level higher than the 'No Thought', but you have not reached the 'No Troubles' realm of the 'Five Pure Dwelling Heavens'. Because the 'unimagined' of the outer path is to pretend to destroy the six consciousnesses and cling to the 'me'. And you have practiced the method of renunciation of the seven senses, so your realm has been raised to a higher level, and you have renounced 'no thinking' and reached the realm of 'forgetting the Brahman and the self'. But because of this, it is impossible to move an inch. This is due to the deviation of the meditation realm, stuck in the realm between the 'four meditation heavens' and the 'five pure dwelling heavens', and it is impossible to go up and down. It's like walking into a dead end......"
Zhang Fan was very panicked, once this meditation deviated, he would fall into the abyss of no return, so he kowtowed and asked the old Zen master, "Please master save me, what should I do?" ”
The old Zen master said with a pleasant face: "Actually, you don't have to panic, with your good roots, you won't fall into the devil's path." It's just a matter of withdrawing from this realm, finding oneself again, and then walking on the right path. It's not that scary. Even if you reside in this 'undecided' advanced realm, it is not a bad thing. A good experience will also be beneficial for your future practice. ”
Then the old Zen master paused, took out an incense board, and knocked it on Zhang Fan's head three times, "Remember, everything is according to fate, don't be persistent." After saying that, he retreated into the meditation room with the Bodhi tree spirit.
Zhang Fan knelt in front of the Buddha, did not get up for a while, and his mind fell into the meditation of forgetting both body and mind. It wasn't until a gust of wind blew through the hall, blew his clothes, and a few dead leaves flew in front of him that Zhang Fan made up his mind. Pick up the dead leaf and pinch it gently, and the dead leaf makes a 'rippling' cracking sound. Zhang Fan seemed to have a hint of enlightenment......
Green Wing and Xuanyuan Xing stood in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Zhang Fan, without urging at all. After practicing meditation, my personality has become indifferent, as if there is nothing to worry about in my heart.
"Let's go......" Zhang Fan walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard.
"Solved?" Greenwing asked casually.
"It doesn't matter if you solve it or not...... Zhang Fan was very calm, so that Green Wing closed his eyes, and he couldn't even feel his presence.
(This large plot mainly describes the level and meditation realm of the heavenly realm in the six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism through the concentration of the Bodhi tree spirit and the seven meditation practices of Zhang Fan and the three of them.) Because the realm of meditation is very profound, and it must be reached from all aspects such as body and mind, and Wei Xi has never experienced any kind of realm, so he writes in a more general way. But as long as it is a fantasy or supernatural novel, it is impossible to detach from this cultural background. I can only write it head-on, and I hope you forgive me if I don't get it. )
…………
Akon kowtowed to Maoshan Zhangjiao, and when he saw that Zhangjiao didn't have any more instructions, he got up and went down the mountain. Maoshan is a tourist attraction, and there is a bus leading to C city at the foot of the mountain, which is very convenient. Maybe it's the off-season for tourism, and the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain is unexpectedly empty. A few buses were idle, and Akon asked, because he was the only one and didn't drive.
Just as he was hesitating, a bus driver was shouting: "It's open!" It's open! No one has opened it! ”
Akon was overjoyed, so lucky, he hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Someone! Someone! With that, he jumped into the car. The driver saw that there was no one else, so he got into the car and started the car. Akon saw that he was really the only one in the car, and it was very empty, so he casually found a place to sit down, and said to the driver with a smile: "You lost today, uncle, I have become a chartered car." I overpaid for the car. The driver also laughed and slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.
Akon looked around and found that the bus was new, as if it had never been used before, and he felt a little strange in his heart. He didn't hear a few idle drivers in the parking lot smoking cigarettes, and asked each other suspiciously: "Why have you never seen this car?" ”
"Maybe it's from a tour group......
"Tours? Wouldn't it, just one person in the tour group? Strange ......"
…………
Akon pulled some food out of his belt pack and chewed on it. He didn't eat for 7 days, and he forced himself to meditate and vomit, which really made him hungry and tired. The hateful senior brother also took his own pocket, and from time to time he came to supervise whether he was lazy to sleep and tossed himself enough! It's finally time to eat......
The bus driver drove smoothly, and Akon received a call from Zhang Fan, saying that everyone was on the road and was ready to pick him up. Akon knew that his companion was not worried about walking alone, and he was afraid that he would encounter danger, and his heart was a little moved. But it's not dangerous to come by yourself when you come here. Now this place is still at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, even if there is anything, a communication talisman is sent out, and there will be Maoshan colleagues to answer, and there is nothing to worry about. So he comforted everyone a few words and took a nap......
