Chapter Forty-Seven: Nirvana in the Fire The heart is the way
All the subjects and people of the city poured out of the city. In accordance with the rules of the classics, they carried all kinds of auspicious gifts, and each one was in high spirits. When I heard that the sons of Pandu were coming, and that they were all outstanding and good men, thousands of subjects and people rode in various vehicles and greeted them with joy.
The people of the city of Doxiang came to the sons of Gonti, cheered and celebrated, and then stood around them. The palace and her six sons were warmly received by the citizens, who also paid their sincere respects, and then the mother and son entered the newly decorated and densely populated city of elephants.
Immediately after entering the city, the five sons of Pandu, under the leadership of Jian Zhan, visited the families of the brahmins, the families of the city officials, and the families of the charioteers.
Several of them also visited the homes of Vaishyas and Shudras. The subjects paid their respects to the five sons of the Bharatana.
Then they began the worship of Shiva, the great god, to their deceased father. During the worship, the five of them did not understand why their mother, Gunti, did not ask their younger brother to light the lamp and worship together.
When their hands touched Linga**, the symbol of Lord Shiva, Arjuna looked at the burning lamp that was doing nothing and asked her doubts.
It seems that since childhood, Gongti, a mother who believed in the Dharma, has never asked him to sacrifice to Shiva and Vishnu. Of course, the lamp is also happy to be like this, sacrificing to Shiva and other gods, and you need to touch something that is said to be Shiva's **, but he doesn't have this interest.
Gongti's eyes were calm, he glanced at his sons, and said lightly: "The origin of the lamp is different, and there is no need to sacrifice to the heavens." ”
When she was a young girl, she had seen the previous life of the lantern, and she had a-for-tat confrontation with the immortal of the Great Heaven Shiva, the incarnation of Shiva, and later for her pregnancy.
In her mind, the deity of the lamp was also a deity worthy of her respect, not under Shiva, and she believed that the deity would not be willing to sacrifice to the great heaven no matter what.
After the sacrifice, they were guided by the famous architect Brojan to an apartment. This brojan prepared all kinds of food and drinks, gorgeous beds and first-class cushions. Mother and son Gonti and their entourage, after being warmly received by Brojan, took up lodging in their apartments, where many of the city's inhabitants served.
After they had stayed there for ten nights, it was then reported that their palace had been completed and that it had been named the Auspicious Palace.
Hearing Brojan's report, Burning Lamp's eyes showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the story he was familiar with came as promised.
Jixiang Palace is actually not auspicious, the lighting is very clear, and the materials used to build the palace are all flammable. Needless to say, soon after entering the palace, Yama, the god of death, who symbolizes the Dharma, fought with the children of Gonti, and immediately discovered the strangeness of the palace and reported it to their mother.
Gunti heard the report of his eldest son, Jian Zhan, and his face remained unchanged, just letting the few of them make their own decisions.
"I think we should live here quietly, and we pretend that we are doomed, and secretly find a safe way out of here. If we are afraid of being burned to death, we will flee rashly, and after the enemy has seized the throne, they will frame us in other ways.
We have no position, he is in a high position, we have no allies, he has many henchmen, we have no supplies, he has a lot of warehouses, he must have a way to destroy us. Therefore, we are to deceive Brojan, the scoundrel and the evil enemy, and live in a hidden place. We pretend to be hunting and travel around the area, and we will find a way to escape. We are now digging a very hidden tunnel, hiding in it to breathe, the fire will not burn us, and it will help us get out of this beautiful but dangerous palace. ”
Listening to the words of her eldest son, Ganti sighed, and now, there is no way for her children to coexist with the hundred sons of her sister-in-law Ganduri.
"Jianzhan, you are the eldest of the brothers, the eldest brother is like a father, and your decision should be the joint decision of the six sons of Pandu. I just want to tell you that in the future, whether it is joy or pain, you should share it. ”
Gonti held the lamp and educated several children, all five of whom nodded their heads one after another, they only had six brothers compared to the hundred sons of the country, and they should be more united.
And Burning the lamp, I nodded in my heart for the unity of these nominal brothers, thinking more about it, but it was another matter. The six brothers have the blessings and hardships together, so when the five of them marry the black princess together, will they also share the lamp for a day.
Thinking of this, Ran Deng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and made up his mind that when they went to Panshaluo to recruit relatives in the future, it would be better for them to go as far as they could.
Although the black princess is said to be a rare beauty in the world, he still has no habit of sharing it with his brothers.
The brothers decided to dig a secret passage to escape the palace in the middle of the room where Gonti and Randen lived, so that their mother and younger brother could enter the secret passage as soon as possible.
Because of pity for his mother and younger brother, the five sons of Pandu did not agree with Gonti and Randen to dig the secret passage with them, but the five of them took advantage of the late night to act.
The five sons of Pandu are all extremely powerful warriors, and a secret passage to the outside world was dug by them in less than a month.
During the night, the five sons of Pandu took turns to watch out for all oddities, and during the day, they went from one forest to another to hunt. They were suspicious, but they seemed to be full of trust, they were indignant, but they seemed to be content, and they deceived Brojan and paralyzed his guard.
During this time, he followed his brothers to practice martial arts during the day, and sank into yoga at night.
He has been practicing yoga since he was born, and it has been nearly ten years now, and for ten years, almost uninterrupted.
Contemplation, concentration, and samadhi, in such a dangerous palace, Burning the lamp found that his yoga skills, the fire of meditation was enough, and he was only one step away from entering the stage of samadhi.
Whether it is contemplation or meditation, there is no such thing as reaching the peak. The art of yoga is a method that can be practiced all the time. It is as strong as Shiva, and often sits on the top of the snowy mountain, concentrating, and contemplating the art of yoga.
However, as long as there is a sufficient state of concentration and concentration, the door of samadhi will naturally open.
Samadhi is the saying that the lamp is lit, and when the three creator gods pioneered the art of yoga, they called this state of approaching the Brahmanas and the self as samadhi. The emotional self and the supernatural self are one, without the three ends of knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge, with the supreme wisdom as the self and the pure spirit as the nature, that is, samadhi.
The state of samadhi cannot be measured by ordinary thinking, because the concentration of the one-headed consciousness is no longer an ordinary form of thinking.
Thus, in this last verse, as the stages of visualization and meditation progress, it is no longer possible to express it in words. In fact, from the beginning of contemplation, there is already a bit of unspeakable, unthinkable, unthinkable, and the closer you get to samadhi, the more you are asked not to exert yourself, not to exert yourself, and not to use your "mind".
The realm of samadhi is entered by a single thought, not by effort, because samadhi itself is not an object, it is not an entity external to the mind, samadhi is just a sudden tacit understanding between the mind and the Brahmanic mind, and at that moment, the boundary between the observer and the observant disappears, and the ability to contemplate instantly becomes infinite but does not have to be used by the observer, because there is no opposition between the observer and the observed, and the contemplation is transformed into a "personal witness".
In this way, the contemplator will break through the limitations of the mortal mind of the physical body, and enter the realm of color and colorlessness along with the duality of the oneness, and truly realize the supreme goal of the unity of Brahman, self, and the unity of heaven and man.
At this time, the burning lamp is to enter this thought, and the heart is thoughtless, empty, that is, to find the kind of fit between himself and heaven and earth.
Outside him, a fire had already raged, illuminating the sky red.
Several people had been in this palace for nearly a year, and when they saw that the people sent by the enemy had been paralyzed by them, they made up their minds to personally cause this destined fire.
Sensing that the time had come, he told his mother that he was going to rest in the room. In need of almsgiving, Gunti held a great feast on this night to entertain the Brahmins. Many women also came to the palace, laughing and laughing, eating and drinking as they pleased, until Gonti was allowed to leave, and then they returned to their homes late at night.
At that feast, there happened to be a Nishada woman and her five sons. Driven by death, she brought her six sons with her to beg for food. The woman and her six sons were drunk and drunk. She and her five sons were so drunk that they fell asleep in that house. One by one, they were unconscious, like dead people.
When he saw this mother and six sons, Jian Zhan thought that the meeting they had been waiting for for a long time had finally come.
In the middle of the night, the wind howled, and people fell asleep. At that moment, the terrorists set fire to the place where the enemy's spy Brojan slept. Then, the fire set off a wave of heat, burning the entire palace with a loud noise.
"Arjuna, go and wake up the lamp, we're leaving. ”
Jian Zhan saw that his mother and other brothers had already arrived at the secret passage, but only the youngest brother Randen was not there, so he hurriedly asked Arjuna to wake him up.
The room where the lamp was lit was next to the secret passage, Arjuna pushed his hand and pushed the door open. After opening the door, the mother and son found that the lamp was in the middle of the room, in a strange position, he was sitting straight on a cushion, his legs hovered, the heel of his left foot pressed against the perineum, and the sole of his right foot between the thigh and calf of his left leg.
"Yoga sitting. ”
Arjuna had also practiced yoga with his teacher Drona, and although he had never seen the original sitting method of Randen, he could tell at a glance that Randen was practicing yoga and had entered a critical period. Otherwise, this raging fire, whether it is sound or temperature, is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and it is impossible for him not to feel it.
"Mother, what should I do?"
Jian Zhan immediately looked at his mother, Gunti, waiting for her instructions. He also knew that the practice of yoga was very taboo and was very likely to lead to the death of the practitioner.
With a hint of anxiety in her eyes, Gunti looked at the fire around her, sighed, and said, "Let's wait first." ”
They could wait, but the fire wouldn't wait, and soon the fire spread to the room where the lamp was burning. In a few moments, one side of the wall of the room was already burning, and the flames were running along the floor, towards the lamp not far away.
"Mother, let's move the younger brother out of the lamp, if you get hurt, you will be injured, and you can't care so much. ”
Seeing the ferocity of the fire, the terrifying army hurriedly urged his mother.
Gonti breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and glanced at the lantern sitting cross-legged, ready to let the dreadies break in and save the people. Suddenly, a soft and gentle voice appeared in her ear: "Don't worry, this is a great opportunity, and it cannot be destroyed." ”
Gunti looked up and saw a beautiful goddess dressed in white robes above the flames, smiling at her.
"Venerable Twin Horse Boy. ”
This goddess with a greatly changed costume, Gonti has seen it twice, once when she was serving the Immortal of Cloth, and in her previous life, Ran Lantern had taken the two horse boys to discuss the art of yoga with the Immortal of Cloth. The other time was twenty years ago, when she summoned the twin pony child goddesses to help her husband's other wife, Madley, get pregnant, and it was from this that Seedless and Kaitian were born.
The five children of Gonti also saw the two horse boys in the air at this time, and hurriedly saluted her. Especially Wuzhu and Kaitian, from the beginning of their understanding, they knew that their biological father was the double horse boy god, and they all knelt on the ground and bowed.
The boy nodded at them, then pointed down, to the spot where the lamp was.
By this time, the flames had completely enclosed the lamp, and even his clothes were already on fire. And the lamp's face did not change at all, as if he did not notice the flame at all.
The flames became more and more intense, almost burning the lamp into a burning man, almost all of his clothes and hair were burned off, and his skin was extremely black.
Even though they knew that the most skilled god among the gods was here, their faces were still full of anxiety and nervousness.
At this moment, the lamp that sat still finally understood, and opened his dark eyes, as if a light came out of it, allowing people to see a glimmer of light in the thick smoke.
"I came from the west to see that the Fa-rectification is illegal, and now I am in Nirvana in the fire, and the clear is the heart and the way. The sand gate is vast, and from this point on, the lamp will be lit and the light will shine in the past. ”
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were bright, and all four hours were bright, and even the fire could not be covered. In the hand of the lamp, there was an extra oil lamp, and the flame on the wick was faint, but warm.
