Chapter 949: The ascetic monk under the Golden Mountain Temple

Lan Jiechen guessed that he was very likely to have come to the Buddha Kingdom, as for why he suddenly fainted and came to this strange place after waking up, Lan Jiechen racked his brains and couldn't remember, as if he was cut out by others during that period of time and became an unknown unsolved case.

At that time, they didn't notice it at all, and when they asked them, they didn't know, which made Lan Jiechen a little suspicious that those camels were doing the trick, but he clearly remembered that he almost became a killing machine under the assimilation of camels.

At the last moment of his coma, he was afraid that he had fallen off the camel's back.

Could it be that some great psychic in the temple knocked himself out of the camel's back and ripped him off, or maybe it was the mystery of the temple itself?

The water ripples were also passing through the entrance of this Buddha country for the first time, and she couldn't say why.

Lan Jiechen summoned Water Ripples and Murong Qing, Weeping Blood and Ling Xuan They were tossing with those mirages in the Light Rain Realm, and they had no idea about the outside world, Water Ripples had long been used to it, and Murong Qing was very interested.

"Jinsha Temple?" Shui Ripple frowned slightly, falling into deep thought.

"What's wrong with Jinsha Temple, is there a problem with this Jinsha Temple? I see that this temple is vigorous, and the power of merit is not a lot. Lan Juechen asked.

"There is a Bodhisattva in this Jinsha Temple, Jinsha Bodhisattva, he is one of the thirty-three Bodhisattvas in the Buddha Kingdom, and his strength is unfathomable, even my master is not sure to defeat the other party.

Jinsha Bodhisattva's appearance is very wonderful, it is rumored that Jinsha Bodhisattva shows people with three kinds of images, one is for children, one is for young people, and one is for the elderly. But no one has really seen Jinsha Bodhisattva, or Jinsha Bodhisattva is around you and me. But no one knows.

I thought it was a passerby, all living beings pilgrimage is to see the Jinsha Bodhisattva side, let the Jinsha Bodhisattva guide the maze, more than 10,000 years, there have been a lot of legends here, many people have broken through to their long-dreamed realm here.

The fame of Jinsha Temple is also growing. But strange to say, this Jinsha Temple does not have any Buddhist cultivators, nor monks, only this temple, so no one has ever really seen this mysterious Jinsha Bodhisattva.

However, in this short period of 10,000 years, Jinsha Temple's reputation has surpassed that of many Bodhisattvas, but it is this sense of mystery that makes those who practice Buddhism rush to it.

More and more people began to come around Jinsha Temple, and it developed into what it is today. Water ripples said slowly.

"Huh?! I seem to remember that I rode a camel through the bloody sandstorm. It seems that when I see the plaque of that temple, the handwriting on it has been deeply corroded, and it exudes a fishy smell, listening to you say this, it seems that the dilapidated temple is also called Jinsha Temple.

I could vaguely tell from the ruins that the outline of the ruined temple in the siege of the bloody sandstorm was exactly the same as the outline of the temple in front of us. Lan Jiechen wondered.

"According to what you said, I'm afraid that this Jinsha Temple has an extraordinary origin, but no one knows where this Jinsha Bodhisattva came from. Where will it go, or whether this Golden Sands Bodhisattva really exists. Or is it some great psychic in disguise. Murong Qing analyzed.

"I suddenly felt that it was very likely that the legendary Jinsha Bodhisattva ripped me and Liang Beast off the camel's back together, and then sent a few of us into the Buddha Kingdom, but it stands to reason that even if I entered the Buddha Kingdom, the distance between me and Liang Beasts and them seems to be too large, and I can't sense their existence at all. Lan Juechen smiled bitterly.

"It's useless for you to say so much, now that you're here. Let's just go over and take a look, it's nothing, maybe you have some kind of good karma. Water Ripple spoke.

Lan Jiechen and Murong Qing agreed with the water ripples, since they had come to this dojo from Yangliu Bodhisattva, which was a distance between the south and the north, it was not good to go and see the dojo of a certain Bodhisattva in this legend. It's really a bit unreasonable.

Lan Jiechen had just taken ten steps, and suddenly he shook violently and stopped, the world he saw with his eyes was completely different from the world in reality, Lan Jiechen knew that he had not opened the Fuxi gossip eye, let alone awakened the eye of repentance, and he didn't know why such a situation occurred.

"What's wrong?" asked Water Ripple.

Lan Jiechen didn't tell Shui Ripple the truth, but shook his head, and then said, "I'm becoming more and more interested in this Jinsha Temple, I seem to have met some old man. ”

Lan Jiechen They are still dozens of miles away from Jinsha Mountain, but at this distance, they can't fly forward, nor can they use footwork to move quickly, whether it is flying or footwork, it will be like falling into a quagmire, the greater the force, the greater the reaction, making it difficult for you to move an inch.

Water Ripple explained that this is a special area that every temple has, but the intensity and scope are different.

The distance of dozens of miles is nothing to Lan Juechen and them, but Lan Jiechen and them seem to have become ordinary people at this moment, Rao is Lan Juechen, who has a strong physical strength, and the water ripples of the Bodhisattva's golden body, have obtained the Murong Qing of the mysterious inheritance of the Holy Domain, and after walking for more than ten miles, they have already felt the discomfort of their bodies.

Lan Jiechen felt as if he was not wearing boots, his feet were hot, as if they had blistered, the pain was incomparable, and the body's self-healing ability was of no use.

In Lan Jiechen's eyes, this is a dead and silent world, dim, without a trace of life, this big mountain is piled up with golden sand, not far away Buddha cultivators, they have become all kinds of demons and monsters, in reality they are all human form, although a little embarrassed, but it can be seen that they are human.

But in Lan Juechen's eyes, these people have been ugly to the extreme, gluttony, ****, greed, anger, laziness, sadness, conceit, everyone's emotions at this moment have materialized them into ugly appearances.

Among these ugly things, there are sporadic flashes of light, very few, Lan Jiechen seems that the Jinsha Temple is bustling around, and there are at least one million Buddha pilgrims in the field within a radius of dozens of miles, but these shining people, there are only six people who have not become ugly. Some of these six people are dying of life, some are highly disabled, and some are just ordinary people, and they are more or less experiencing a life that others cannot experience.

But they do not complain, their positive and optimistic attitude is not infected by the surrounding environment, they move wholeheartedly in their own direction.

These six people are like the bright moon in the night. Their light covered up the other ugly people, Lan Jiechen seemed to understand something, the sea was over, the waves did not wash the sand, the gold was buried deep in the sand, the light still shone, breaking through.

It is very likely that these six people will eventually get what they want, and the rest of these people may not get what they want even if they die.

Water ripples seem to get used to this feeling, stepping on the earth. Step by step, the realm here does not have any impact on her, this is bitter for Murong Qing, compared to Lan Juechen's restless skin and thick flesh, Murong Qing is much more painful.

Lan Jiechen set his gaze on the water ripples, the water ripples did not emit dazzling golden light, but flashed with a faint pure white light, although Murong Qing was very painful in his body. But there was no real pain in her eyes, and she was full of light. It's like a beautiful statue made of glaze, colorful.

"It's a little interesting, it's a little interesting, the emotional color of this girl is so rich, and I've always been too rational and indifferent by nature. On the contrary, the ripples of water did not surprise me. Pure as paper, very simple. Lan Jiechen said secretly in his heart.

Lan Juechen's eyes didn't know if there had been some kind of mutation, as the journey continued to advance, Lan Juechen gained a lot of enlightenment in his heart, and the flickering light on his body not only did not increase. On the contrary, it is getting weaker and weaker, and it feels like it is going to converge into the body.

It didn't take long for Lan Jiechen and them to come to the foot of the mountain, which had become a small town, and many merchants settled here, spontaneously forming a town with shortcomings.

Everything is available here, Lan Juechen's arrival has attracted the attention of many people, most of the people here are all ascetics, so when a person with an incompatible temperament like Lan Jiechen comes, it is like standing out from the crowd, no matter where he goes, he will attract everyone's attention.

Even the ascetics who were in a state of cultivation would open their eyes slightly, glance at Lan Jiechen and them, and then close their eyes, unable to see the waves in their eyes.

Lan Jiechen was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around, he had a full view of the situation of these ascetics, those six people were one of the many ascetics, and most of the ascetics here were ordinary people.

Lan Juechen's curious baby's appearance, looking around, attracted the attention of many people, and the water ripples couldn't help but laugh at Lan Juechen's strange and rich expression on his face.

So "Great Compassion" explained to Lan Jiechen the origin of these ascetics.

Dervishing is the most popular form of practice among ordinary people, and dervishes are often unkempt and ragged, carrying a three-pronged staff that symbolizes Lord Shiva, and chanting ancient scriptures as they walk.

Dervishes must endure things that ordinary people consider to be painful, such as long-term fasting or even water shorting, lying on a bed full of nails, walking on hot charcoal, drinking urine ****, enduring the heat and cold, etc., to exercise endurance and renunciation, and monks who use "asceticism" as a means of practice.

They are working so hard so that one day, they will suddenly have an epiphany and become a Buddha.

The word "asceticism", which originally means "heat" in Sanskrit Buddhism, is the most unbearable feeling in the heat, and these ordinary monks regard heat as the main means of asceticism.

They practice self-control, self-tempering, reject material and physical temptations, and endure harsh environmental oppression in order to practice a certain faith.

They are paranoid that people need to go through many reincarnations before they can enter the Elysian World and be cared for by a Buddha. And some people want to take a shortcut, to receive oracles and sutras in this life, and ascetics are considered to be such a shortcut.

Most of the ascetics are ordinary people, and after entering the ascetic period, once they have an epiphany, they will scatter all their wealth, leave their parents, wives and children, carry simple bags to the mountains, find their favorite spiritual leader, worship under his door, and live a life of wandering and wandering without a fixed place.

Some ascetics generally live in the mountains and mountains, in the wilderness, or in a temple. In this monster-infested Buddhist country, the dervishes face the greatest threat not only to themselves, but also to those cannibalistic demons.

Generally speaking, ascetics are docile and peaceful, but there are also those who are fierce and fierce, withdrawn and violent, and these people often fight against other sects and religions, and no one obeys the religious teachings of the other, and they all regard the other as heretical.

Because they are not afraid of life and death, they are brave and strong in battle, which is intimidating. Their original weapons were clubs, spears, swords, and triangular forks. The dervishes also carry sticks or triangular forks today, but they are only symbolic.

The reason why dervishes are called ascetics is because they regard their bodies as carriers of sin, stinking skins, and must strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies in order to attain spiritual freedom and spiritual liberation.

Although generally speaking, people do not become ascetics until they reach middle age, when they end their spiritual practice and enter the ascetic period, there are also some people who are willing to live this kind of wandering ascetic life since they were teenagers. The age limit for dervishes is very wide, from about 6 to 65 years old to join this special ranks.

According to clothing, ascetics can be divided into Tianyi faction and Tsing Yi faction.

The Tianyi pie is the nude pie, the whole body is naked, and at most a narrow strip of cloth is used to cover the sensitive parts of the lower body. Always naked, it means that the pursuit of the primitive state, away from the mortal world, has no quarrel with the world. The body is always smeared with ashes, signifying sin, death, and rebirth.

The Tsing Yi faction wears clothes, usually yellow cotton clothes.

Many people who don't know about Buddhism refer to the monks who practice hard in Buddhism as "ascetics", which is actually a misconception. The asceticism of Buddhist monks is different from the asceticism of Buddhists who become spontaneously by these ordinary people.

In Buddhism, asceticism refers to the monk's abandonment of worldly greed such as good clothes, three meals, and more sleep, and to practice selfless "righteous asceticism" in relation to worldly happiness, such as monastic asceticism and toutuo asceticism as mentioned in the scriptures.

Buddhism calls the ascetic practices of other religions "external asceticism", which refers to all kinds of unhelpful and extreme sufferings that are carried out by self-grasping "greed for the happiness of the world", such as being naked and unclothed, taking bull and dog vows, burning fire, lying on stabs, and so on, which is not Buddhism.

Jingyun: "This kind of hardship is a lowly karma, and it is bitter and difficult, and what mortals do is not a holy way." (To be continued.) )
