Chapter 995: The Tao is not the Dao
Lan Juechen's heart throbbed, this inheritance description seemed to appear under specific circumstances, could it be related to the Six Realms, but Lan Jiechen's heart told him that the answer was not what he thought.
With the height of the Blood Asura God back then, the Nether Realm should have given him very little help, not to mention that his ambition is to become an immortal, not a Buddha.
The pilgrimage path was nothing more than a path of trial created by a demon Buddha, and it was not enough to attract his attention.
But why did such a large number of obscure words suddenly spring up in my mind?
"Could it be that there is something here that is the true key to the Six Realms Inheritance?"
"Didn't Brother Jiechen say that this place made the Confessional Eye very excited? Could it be the reason for the Confessional Eye, forming a chain reaction, a linkage. Murong Qing echoed.
"The Eye of Repentance is excited because it is full of its favorite food, so why did the Six Realms Inheritance suddenly pour out such a paragraph, I remember that you have already understood the Six Realms?" Shui Ripple wondered.
"The six realms are broad and profound, and they not only need a strong understanding, but also a strong cultivation realm to support a framework, and under this powerful framework, they can attain enlightenment.
I'm just getting started, and I've got a lot of knowledge, but it's all superficial. Lan Juechen smiled bitterly.
Lan Jiechen didn't hide anything in front of his woman, needless to say, the water ripples could be said to have a deep understanding of himself. Murong Qing half understood and half didn't understand, but she was not discouraged, she didn't want to ask, never doubt Murong Qing's IQ and EQ.
She is a woman with the scepter of wisdom.
Lan Jiechen has always felt that the six realms are not simple, this is not the lower realm, even if it is a spell that the realm of gods can have, the six realms contain the supreme truth of the universe, which is one of the core laws of the universe.
It cannot be limited to Buddhism, Taoism, the human world, the divine world, and even the fairy world, even if these six realms are not as complex and extensive as the I Ching, it does not mean that it is very shallow and simple.
Otherwise, the Blood Demon Shura God would not have passed on the Six Prologues so generously back then, and to this day, there is still no one in the realm of the gods who have successfully cultivated, only Lan Jiechen.
Six ways and six pleasures.
Sentient beings in the world have karmic retribution for creating good and bad karma, and there are six places for this karmic retribution, which are called the six realms. The six realms are divided by the Buddha according to the size of the blessings received by the karmic body. They are: Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, Humane Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao.
The way of heaven is divided into the desire realm heaven, the **** heaven, and the colorless realm heaven.
Humanity and the way of heaven are good paths, in which sentient beings create more good karma than bad karma, and there is more happiness and less suffering.
Although the asura path enjoys the blessings of heaven and man, its mind is polluted by all kinds of causes and causes all kinds of bad karma, and when its good fortune is over, it will fall into the realm of people, animals, hungry ghosts, and even hell with the negative karma.
Animals, hungry ghosts, and hells are called the three evil realms, in which sentient beings create more negative karma than good karma, and suffering is more than happiness. Among them, the beings of hell feed on knowledge, but they have no pleasure.
The Buddha used various metaphors to give the public an intuitive feeling of the various "happiness" and suffering of the six realms, and to guide the direction of how to be free from suffering and achieve happiness.
The wise man, on the other hand, obtains the profound and true meaning of the Buddha through parables, achieves great compassion, saves sentient beings from eternal troubles, life and death, and dwells in happiness, subtle and true.
Sentient beings are reborn as a result of their karma for creating good or bad karma. According to the size of the good fortune received by the Buddha's karmic retribution, the Buddha is divided into six places: the heavenly path, the asura path, the humane path, the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path.
The way of heaven is called the good way, and there is more happiness and less suffering, and the three ways of animals, hungry ghosts, and hell are called the evil way, and there is more suffering and less happiness. Among them, although the asuras have the good fortune of heaven and man, their minds have regressed due to their greed for good fortune, and the good roots accumulated in the past have been covered by the mountain of greed, giving rise to all kinds of bad thoughts and creating all kinds of bad karma.
Hell is its future destination.
Where you go is determined by the karma you create. The main causes of animal life are infatuation, sexual immorality, and drug abuse. The main causes of the karma of hungry ghosts are greed, stealing, and gambling. The main causes of hell are anger, murder, slander against the Dharma and Buddhas.
The karmic causes of not creating the three evil realms are the karmic causes of human beings. The karmic causes of the Heavenly Way are mainly filial piety to one's parents, serving one's teachers, hearing the Dharma, not lying, not double-tongued, not speaking evilly, not gossiping, not being greedy, not being angry, not being foolish, subduing and cutting off even more desires and greed, destroying thoughts of speech, destroying the concept of consciousness, destroying thoughts of joy, eliminating thoughts of entering and exiting the mind, not thinking about all kinds of colors, not thinking about all kinds of thoughts, not thinking about all kinds of thoughts, not thinking about everything, not thinking about it, not thinking about it.
The life and death of the karmic retribution body is not exactly the same as the life and death of the color body. The death of the body will inevitably lead to the end of the current karmic retribution, but the undead karmic retribution of the body can also be destroyed. Either the current karmic retribution is exhausted and it dies, or new karma gradually takes its place. This process may be one thought or one day, two days or even seven days, or even seven or forty-nine days.
The previous karmic body is called the front yin body, the next karmic body is called the back yin body, and the middle body is called the middle yin body. Therefore, the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra says, "If a bodhisattva has the appearance of self, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of a long-lived being, he is not a bodhisattva." ”。
The fate of the color body is regarded as the life and death of "me", which is the appearance of the longevity.
Why is it a thought or a seven days or even seven or forty-nine days?
When the karma is strong enough, a thought arises, and if the karma is weak or new karma has not yet been formed, there is a process of gradual realization of karma during the bardo body.
The attainment of karma is a manifestation of the seven days, the initial creation of new karma, the re-creation of karma leads to the growth of new karma, the continuous growth of karma without external causes and the creation of new karma, the joy of creating new karma more than the old karma, the repetition of the old karma, the non-creation of the old karma but the karma is still present, and the new karma is achieved before the old karma does not reappear.
After the attainment of a karma, it may evolve into a new karma again through the seven steps tainted by the outer edges, and it may be repeated many times or even immeasurably. Therefore, it is said that "even 7749 days" to express it.
The six realms are the six realms, and reincarnation is reincarnation, and if the six realms and reincarnation are combined with each other, then it is not pure. Therefore, the six realms are not just after death, but also the six realms of reincarnation in life.
Reincarnation runs through all cultivation systems, and no matter what kind of cultivation system, in the end, it is just an evolution of the core laws of the universe, and all changes are inseparable from it, so sometimes it is said that cultivation is against the heavens, but it is not true.
The purpose of the practice is to better understand this mysterious and fascinating world.
This cosmic world is like an incomplete world, reincarnation is immature, the Netherworld and Hell have not fulfilled their functions, and the realm of the gods does not seem to have achieved the model of the commander of the Three Realms, the three realms of this universe are independent of each other, but they are interdependent.
Lan Jiechen felt more and more that this time it was not a bad thing for his rogue master to integrate the Three Realms.
In another world, the world where he was in his previous life, the functions of other realms such as the underworld, the heavenly court, and the human world were very clear, especially the functions of the underworld.
The concept of hell is greater than hell, and the concept of hell is greater than that of hell.
Hell refers to the place where the souls of the dead are imprisoned and punished, and can be said to be the prison and execution ground of the underworld.
And ordinary people may still smile in the underworld after death, just like living in the world, the good people even become immortals and gods after death.
The Emperor of Beiyin and the other four ghost emperors of the five ghost emperors, the king of Hades or the separated ten halls of Yama are the masters of the underworld, so there is a way: Mo Yan does not retribution, and the gods and ghosts have arrangements.
The "Three Realms" here refers to the Three Realms of Taoism, although Buddhism has expanded the Three Realms into six realms, but it is still not comprehensive, because in our traditional culture, there is also a saying that plants and trees become essences, "vine spirits and tree monsters", this truth is also from the Taoist Yang God can be "gathered to form, scattered is zero".
Even those that can be refined include stones, and anything with aura can be transformed into shape.
It is not confined to the six paths. But it is always contained in the theory of yin and yang.
This is the origin of the Book of Changes, with yin and yang as the center, and the truth of heaven and earth.
The underworld is the place where the lives of all living beings are in charge. All things in heaven and earth, after death, their souls are bound to the netherworld by black and white, and all their good and evil in the yang world must be ended here.
As the saying goes, the living are in the yang, the dead are in the underworld, the yang is a world, and the underworld is a world.
The world says that the underworld is eerie and terrifying, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere. In fact, who has seen it with their own eyes, it is called a world, there is beauty and ugliness, this is the case in the yang world, and the same is true in the underworld.
This world is unexpectedly different, everything is independent, but it affects each other, so that there is Jinsha Bodhisattva to create Jinsha River, and there are six secret techniques of the bloody Shura God.
Lan Jiechen studied Buddhism hard, and knew that in Buddhism, the so-called reincarnation of life and death is to say that "this essence has been restored to other essences". Sentient beings in the world have karmic retribution for creating good and bad karma, and this karmic retribution has six places, which are called the six realms. The six realms are divided by the Buddha according to the size of the blessings received by the karmic body.
First of all, the color body is not me, and the color body is scattered, and I am still there, otherwise it is "judgment".
However, the true meaning of the six realms of reincarnation is not the reincarnation of birth and death of the color body, which is said to be convenient for the Buddha to follow the worldview at that time.
From the moment the color body is born, there is the first karmic body, and according to the karma created, from the first karmic body, hundreds of thousands of kinds of bodies can be born, and hundreds of thousands of kinds of bodies can be reborn one by one, and it is even immeasurable.
As the "Zhonga Han Sutra" says: "The law is born." If the law is extinguished, it will be destroyed. It is all caused by the combination of causes and conditions that cause suffering. If there is no cause. and all afflictions will perish. When the causes and conditions of sentient beings meet continuously, the dharmas arise. If you come to see all living beings in succession. So he said. There is life and death. ”
Taking the birth and death of the body as reincarnation is a convenience for the Buddha to follow the delusions of sentient beings.
For example, the "Entering the Ranga Sutra" says: "If there is something that cannot be taken is for me, it is for me to meet others, and all beings live together." Dahui! To say that there is no self-appearance is to say that the name should be transformed into a Buddha, and the Buddha is not a Buddha.
Again, Great Wisdom, we should turn it into the Dharma as it is, and follow the minds of foolish ordinary people to make them practice, not to establish truthful practice and to manifest our own internal evidence of the samadhi of sage. ”。
Beginners are born because of my thoughts in the heart, I see, because the heart appears, the body is born and disappears, and because of the body, I am born and the life of all beings.
Truthfully understanding and knowing without delusions is to hear the Dharma, practicing the Dharma is to make offerings to the Buddhas, practicing the Dharma without wandering away from the mind is to be worthy of the Buddha, and having the same mind as the Buddha is to see the Buddha.
Therefore, the "Sutra of Amitayus" says: "If you come with endless compassion, you will mourn the three worlds." Therefore, it is born in the world, expounding Taoism, and wants to save the masses and benefit the real benefits. Countless billions of eons, hard to see. Juling Ruihua, always out. ”。
If the mind is not pure, the truth will not be seen.
All sentient beings are self-inflicted with the causes and conditions of all desires, such as the wheel turning endlessly, dying and dying on the six paths, and accepting sanctions. The so-called six realms, namely: humans, heavens, and asuras, these three realms are also known as the three good paths, hell, hungry ghosts, and beasts, these three realms are also called the three evil realms.
However, in the six realms, humanity is the center, and because of the concept of good and evil in people's hearts, they pursue it as they please, resulting in retribution.
For example, if a person's language, actions, and thoughts in daily life, those who abide by the law and practice the three precepts or more can obtain six complete human bodies, and those who are prepared with the five precepts will be born into a rich and noble family, and will live a long life and become famous in the world.
Practicing the five precepts and doing the ten virtues is to give birth to the heavenly realm, and the heavens are divided into the heaven of desire, **** heaven, and colorless world.
The above five precepts plus ten virtues are the birth of the desire realm of heaven, and then the correction of the meditation meditation, the first meditation to the four meditations, that is, the birth of **** heaven. Tend to the four emptiness, that is, the colorless realm.
However, although it is not necessary to think about the sky, it is just to subdue karma and confusion, and it is impossible to get rid of the cycle of life and death, so the ancients said: There is no peace in the Three Realms, just like a house of fire.
If a person has ten good intentions in his daily life, but he is victorious in fame, fortune, and competitiveness, that is, he is born in the astral realm, and the asura is blessed with heaven and lacks heavenly virtue, which is caused by the defilement of the earth.
If a person loses his moral precepts in his daily life and becomes greedy, he will fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, and if he becomes obsessive, he will fall into the realm of animals, and those who commit the five rebellions and ten evils will fall into the realm of hell.
The good and evil retribution of the six realms of reincarnation are all in the thought of the human heart, which can tend to be good, that is, ascend to the heavenly realm, and cause and effect are manifested when one thought of evil, that is, fall into the evil path.
Countless living beings, countless monks are so keen to practice and comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, isn't it to break free from the six realms and five elements, with the continuous improvement of cultivation, as their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth deepens, you will find that all the laws, all the restraints exist to restrict the weak.
Therefore, if you want to live forever, you can only keep breaking through yourself, and if you want to break free from the six realms and five elements, you also need to constantly break through yourself.
But Lan Juechen knows even more that the framework has always been there, and you can't live without the frame, in fact, you have jumped out of this small frame, but you have entered a larger framework, and the road is long and endless.
This is Lan Jiechen's greatest perception of worshipping the Eternal Sect.
The realm of immortals turned out to be born because of the Yunxing Cave, and the Yunxing Cave actually had a mysterious hegemonic race shepherd-the Star Herder.
Lan Jiechen's simple summary of the six secret techniques he inherited is to let those who should be punished receive the punishment they deserve, so that they will fall into reincarnation forever and cannot be reborn.
The hell realm, the sea of fire, the pool of blood, the mountain of needles, the never-ending torture, those who fall into it will live in pain forever.
The world of hungry ghosts, with flesh and bones, bulging abdomen, living in hunger and thirst all day long, even eating carrion corpses, is the world of insatiable evil ghosts.
The Animal Realm, a beast world where people who are reincarnated in animal form eat the jungle.
In the Shura realm, blood and sins, I am forced to fight with others every day, there is no rest, and the battle never ends.
The human world, tormented by emotions and emotions, is the unstable human world.
The Heavenly Realm, although it is called Elysium, can fall into the human realm at any time, and even fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, beasts and hells, and is the most dangerous place, and even the gods cannot escape from it.
But all of this is subverting the existing knowledge framework in my own mind.
This is not the six realms described in the Buddha realm, and this is not the six realms described in Taoism.
"Is this ......?"
Lan Jiechen was silent, he didn't dare to imagine the crazy thoughts in his heart, it was very unreal. (To be continued.) )
