Volume 1 Chapter 385 asked
Ren Tianqing left Ren Tianxiang alone and continued to sit in place, got up by himself, and walked in the direction of the camp.
"Qing'er. Ren Tianxiang stopped Ren Tianqing, he didn't look back, but turned his back to Ren Tianqing and said, "If there is any result, you must tell us." ”
"I see. Ren Tianqing waved his hand, then stopped and walked into the camp surrounded by five tents.
While Ren Tianqing and Ren Tianxiang were chatting, Liansheng, Xinglingluo, and Mo Hu had already finished dinner time. Liansheng was persuaded by Xinglingluo and Mohua to go back to his tent to rest, leaving the two girls to clean up the sundries left over from dinner.
Seeing Ren Tianqing coming over, Xing Lingluo stopped the movement in his hand and asked her, "Qing'er, how is it?"
"I'm fine. Ren Tianqing smiled and shook his head, then pointed to Liansheng's tent and said, "I'm here to find Master Liansheng." ”
As she spoke, she didn't pay any more attention to Xinglingluo and Mohua, and went straight to Liansheng's tent.
Standing outside the tent, Ren Tianqing bent down respectfully and said, "Master Liansheng, I am Ren Tianqing. I have some questions, I wonder if I can ask you?"
"Miss Qing'er, come in and talk about any questions. Lotus Sheng's kind voice came from inside the tent.
"Well, thank you, Master. Ren Tianqing thanked him first, and then opened the curtain of the tent and got into Liansheng's tent.
Liansheng was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the tent with his eyes closed, his right hand silently turning his rosary, and the other hand resting on his knee. Seeing Ren Tianqing coming in, he slowly opened his eyes, took out a futon from the storage ring, put it in front of him, and then pointed to the futon with his idle finger.
Ren Tianqing obediently knelt on the futon, and then, she leaned over slightly and said, "First of all, thank you, master." I heard from my brother that the master came here today to inspire me. Thank you, Master. ”
Liansheng put down the prayer beads, waved his hand gently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, doing more good deeds will also help Lao Wei's cultivation, and it won't be a big deal." Miss Qing'er, I wonder how you feel and what questions you have about being here today?"
"When the sun went down, I felt a sense that everything was passing away. In our place, only those who have truly become Buddhas can set up Buddha statues, and the fall of that Buddha statue also represents the fall of that Buddha. Is that what the master wants me to feel?"
"Miss Qing'er, your understanding is very high, and your understanding of the Great Virtue Sect is also very deep. Rensheng nodded and said, "Indeed, if you want to learn something from this wonder, you must first know what kind of existence a Buddha is. Miss Qing'er, you just talked about the Buddha you have there, so I don't know if you know what a Buddha is in the Great Virtue Sect?"
“...... A half-step soul-level cultivator like you?" Ren Tianqing pondered for a moment, guessing cautiously. In her opinion, as powerful as a lotus birth, and with the compassion of the Buddha as she usually says, she can naturally be regarded as a Buddha.
Who knew that Liansheng slowly shook his head and said, "Definitely." Buddha is the highest state of blissful freedom. The so-called Buddha, according to the Dharma of Bliss and Freedom, is to become a Buddha in the 32 phases. And when he reaches the realm of Lao Gu, he only cultivates thirty-one phases, and one phase is not a Buddha. ”
"Thirty-two phases?
"In the Bliss Dharma, the Buddha is considered to be a collection of good intentions, and the patriarch artificially divided these good intentions into thirty-two kinds, that is, the thirty-two phases, or the thirty-two virtues. The way that our Dade Sect pursues is to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and save the world from fire and water, that is, to cross the world and save the world. To adhere to such a path, it is natural to do good, and by doing good deeds you can become a Buddha, and after accumulating the 32 phases, you will naturally be recognized by the world, that is, you will become a Buddha. ”
"Then you say that you are not a Buddha, and you are still one step behind, and even a strong person like you can't achieve that kind of goodness?"
"The last of the thirty-two phases is the goodness of adult beauty, that is, the good deeds of adult beauty. This is the hardest kind of good to attain. ”
"Doesn't that sound like it's hard to be the beauty of others?"
"It's a small thing, but it's not that hard. But what we call the 32 phases need to be the extreme, that is, the supreme good. In the Dharma of Blissful Freedom, it is said that doing a thousand good deeds is for the supreme good, and a good deed needs to be done a thousand times before it can become one aspect of oneself. Although it is not difficult to become the beauty of others, it will be done once at that time...... Alas, that's fine. ”
"A thousand times...... This is too difficult, isn't it?" Ren Tianqing's eyes widened, and he was very surprised by what Liansheng said, "Then master, has anyone ever become a Buddha according to the Bliss and Freedom Method?"
"Absolutely. Liansheng said with a smile, "According to the ancient records of the Dade Sect, the first person to become a Buddha was the patriarch of the Dade Sect, Miaoyuan Moke Buddha. According to ancient records, becoming a Buddha is to step into the realm of the soul level, and the ancestor was active in the primeval era during the Wind and Snow Empire, although there were not many soul levels at that time, but they could also be achieved. Based on what he realized and felt, the patriarch spent ten years compiling the Bliss and Freedom Dharma and his disciples, so that all five of the patriarch's disciples reached Buddhahood. Later, during the time of the Eight Sages of the Ancient Era, a suzerain named Kongwu modified the Bliss and Freedom Method according to the environment at that time, and also attained Buddhahood. And the last predecessor of Dadezong to become a Buddha is Lao Qu's master, Zhiyuan. At that time, it was the end of the ancient era, and he was probably the last monk to achieve soul level. Since then, there has been no soul level in the world. ”
"There hasn't been a soul-level since the ancient era?, but a year ago, when our Star Emperor Kingdom held an academy competition, didn't a soul-level monk appear?"
"What you are talking about should be the Lord of the Demon Dao. Her situation is special and cannot be counted as in-the-world. Liansheng shook his head and sighed, "She borrowed the principle of complementary interference between the Demon Dao and the world, avoided the rejection of the world, and forcibly promoted. Although she is now at the soul level, her true body can no longer enter the world, and the power she can use in the world will not exceed half a step. ”
"I see, I said why she only had a voice and didn't see herself at that time. Ren Tianqing said.
"However, this should not be despised by this Lord of the Demon Dao, although she cannot enter the world in her true body, the power she can use in the world can still be equal to or even surpass His Majesty Odins. As Lian Sheng was talking, he suddenly laughed and said, "Hehe, what is the old man telling you to do this, these things are what we should worry about for half a step." Miss Qing'er, just listen to what the old man said just now, don't make a noise. Besides, Miss Qing'er, have your doubts been answered?"
"I have one more question. Ren Tianqing's expression became much more solemn, as if the question she was about to ask was very important.
"Master, you said that becoming a Buddha means achieving the soul level, and you are also a half-step soul level, very close to the soul level. Then you say, soul-level monks, will also die?"
