Chapter 1000: Cloud Sentient Beings
The words of the ancient Buddha made Lan Jiechen laugh dumbly, laughing at himself, confused, confused. The ancient Buddha of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info smiled and said, many people are like this, because they are in this mountain.
"Master, listening to your words, the younger generation is very curious, how do you universalize sentient beings, let sentient beings follow our Buddha, and believers are all over the world. Lan Jiechen had already changed his title to master, and his tone seemed very humble.
"Child, Lao Gu only did one thing, let them not rely on my Buddha, not to believe in Buddha, so all living beings relied on my Buddha, and Lao Gao's followers began to spread all over the world. The smile on the ancient Buddha's face was warm and bright, and the wrinkles were condensed, like a blooming yellow flower.
Lan Jiechen and Gu Buddha stared at each other, but for a moment, they laughed at the same time, the two of them knew the mystery.
"All living beings are stupid, all living beings are ignorant, all living beings are confused, all living beings are spirits, but they don't know it, how can you and I not be like this, all living beings are drunk, who can wake up alone?" Lan Juechen couldn't help but sigh.
He doesn't know whether he is in a dream or awake, at least whether he is in a dream or awake, he will insist on the persistence in his heart and will not waver for a moment.
Such people are the most powerful, because they are not afraid of any future.
Even if this is a reality that is even more illusory than a dream, for Lan Juechen, all of this is actually happening in reality, more complicated than a dream, too wonderful, too mysterious.
As long as people are alive and their minds are still worried, you will always be able to return to the beginning in your sleep, but that reality that cannot be touched has dissipated forever with the ethereal concept of time, and the feeling of being untouchable, and even recalling, you will feel that everything is not as real as what you saw in your dreams.
It's like seeing your former confidant again one day, and it has nothing to do with the people and things in your memory, and you can't help but think, is this really who is who? This kind of seemingly stupid question.
What is terrible is that those practitioners who stand in the present in a down-to-earth manner, cherish the present, and watch over the future, they are not all smooth sailing, and it can even be said that their lives are written with ups and downs.
But every minute and second of the present is the brick and brick of the future to the top of the pyramid.
Lan Jiechen and this ancient Buddha are both the same kind of people, and it is precisely because of this that the two of them saw the characteristics of the same kind of each other at first sight, so they had a feeling of seeing each other late.
The two daughters, Shui Ripple and Murong Qing, were stunned when they heard it, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle this old and young man was playing.
The ancient Buddha nodded to Lan Jiechen and smiled slightly: "Why don't you explain it to your two red faces?" ”
Lan Jiechen naturally would not refuse, so he used the knowledge he had learned in his previous life and began to say slowly, he was not worried that the Buddhism he had learned in his previous life was useless, and the Buddha was the same.
It is a confirmation of the ancient Buddha's sentence, the Buddha is the Tao, the Tao is the law, and the Tao is natural.
When Buddhism was founded, it was believed that the enlightenment of Buddhism required too high a moral platform, too high education, too deep enlightenment, and too complex refining process, which was a threshold that was difficult to enter by human instinct.
As a result, Buddhism created many myths about heaven, earth and man, and there was a Buddhist promise about the suffering, eternal life and death of Western Bliss and the six realms of reincarnation, so that ordinary people could be self-disciplined because of the fear of death and reincarnation and the yearning for the Pure Land of Bliss.
Many people believe in Buddhism and are superstitious about Buddhism, and this kind of salvation because of believing in Buddhism, blissful rebirth, sin because of unbelief, and going to hell to suffer. Although this method of coaxing and scaring children is conducive to the practice and popularization of Buddhism, it also caters to people's fear of death and greed.
This kind of causal relationship no longer gives people the opportunity to be conscious and awake, and people do not even have the opportunity to pursue nobility, so how can they be noble? This is the magic of wisdom and goodness, and those who do not read it cannot understand it.
But the Buddhist scriptures have told the world to understand the Dharma. The extremely high state of life that does not arise from the causal relationship between going to bliss and going to hell is the Dharma.
The Buddha's willingness to suffer in order to save the world is a hell for the body and a paradise for the soul.
When you enter the Buddha's door, the Buddha will immediately tell you that I don't exist, and the Buddha is yourself. However, this is not the case, what is a Buddha?
The Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is natural.
Everybody has heard the story of the Buddha smiling with flowers, but why did the Buddha smile with flowers? Obviously, this is a symbolic language with a lot of meaning.
The flower in the Buddha's hand symbolizes life, and life is the flower that never blooms until it blooms, and then withers. The Buddha held the flower and told the public that the meaning of life is in his own hands, that he is in his own hands, and that he should smile with joy in return.
With the correct concept of smiling at our own lives and appreciating our lives, we accept ourselves, face our circumstances and encounters, and live a life of fulfillment as it is.
When we let go of all vanity, let go of the signs of parting with others, and let go of the unreasonable level of ambition, we will live in a life as it is, that is, the life of "Rulai", and Rulai is to start from the wonderful heart.
Zen is to light up this lamp of the heart, let it flow with bright wisdom, and illuminate one's spiritual world. Zen scholars say that a lamp can remove the darkness of 10,000 years, which is exactly what it means.
What is a Zen lamp?
It represents a light and wisdom, and it is a way to live. If it is briefly expressed in the language of Zen practitioners, it is "the magic of vacuum". It means that a person must know how to remove all obstacles, troubles, irrational desires, and so on in his heart, and this effort is called a "vacuum."
Then, according to the true essence of oneself, live freely and realize it well, that is "wonderful existence".
The Zen master said, "Eternal sky." Once a wind and moon. “
To let go of all vanity, prejudice, prejudice and greed, and even to let go of knowledge and stereotypes brought about by past experience. When we let go of these barriers, we are free to create.
The essence of life is that you must let go of the "dust" in your hands, and then you can open your hands and grasp the "pearl" of life.
When we let go of everything we hold in our hands, it is possible to work and realize the potential given by life, so that we can live well.
When we are willing to share our gains with others and give to others, we can experience the fulfillment of life.
To cultivate Buddhism, the basic starting point should be correct, and we should not regard "emptiness" as nothingness and passivity, let alone "if we do not move" as the cultivation of emptiness. True emptiness is purifying oneself, accepting oneself, letting go of greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt.
The real "if you don't move" is to understand yourself, accept yourself, not be led by material desires, not be a slave of the realm and hue, and let your soul fully awaken.
This simple starting point is the subtle nature of Zen enlightenment.
It gives birth to the wisdom of life of "vacuum", so that the philosophy of life of emptiness and existence, which is fully integrated into the realization of the current life, becomes the so-called perfection of life.
Life is not only a matter of the idea of vacuum, but more importantly, it is about the realization itself. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain meditation in life, to maintain the cultivation of not being led by hue and hue, and not being moved by external circumstances in the heart.
In this way, we can see nature in life, and only in life can we return to all ready-made Zen methods and enter the true meaning of "ordinary mind is the way".
So as to realize that carrying firewood and water is a Buddha, walking, living, sitting and lying is a Buddha, raising eyebrows is a Buddha in a flash, and calming the mind is a Buddha.
The purpose of Zen enlightenment is to teach people the way to become a Buddha by seeing nature. Therefore, on the one hand, the Buddha is born in the world, and through enlightenment, he wants to get rid of all foolishness and ignorance of cause and effect.
However, the Buddha also knew that life itself is a process of enlightenment, and if you do not see the enlightenment in life, you will not be able to become a Buddha.
Therefore, Zen enlightenment Buddhism is the only way of life in the world, and it is the way of life that is harmonious and unhindered.
Lan Jiechen said before, "All living beings are stupid, all living beings are ignorant, all living beings are confused, all living beings are spirits, but I don't know it, why aren't you and I like this, all living beings are drunk, who can wake up alone?"
When this ancient Buddha advised people not to believe in Buddhism, some people woke up, some people were half-awake, some people were still asleep, some people were completely asleep, but those who woke up, half-awakened and half-enlightened, became believers in the ancient Buddha, or maybe a disciple.
They are not as fanatical as the Buddhists outside, and most of them do not have the same high cultivation and achievements as these Buddhists, but they are divided into the Buddha country and the pilgrimage path, and even the whole world.
The Buddha that Lan Jiechen met in the Sin City was the disciple of this ancient Buddha, and the ancient Buddha only pinched his fingers and calculated that Lan Jiechen had been kind to his disciple, and his good impression of Lan Jiechen can be imagined.
In the eyes of the ancient Buddha, Lan Juechen, who dominates the soul with demonic nature, is not a demon, but a Buddha, a Buddha who is free and easy, full of indescribable temperament from top to bottom, sometimes like crazy, sometimes calm as a mirror, indifferent as water.
In Buddhist terms, it means that the whole body is full of Buddha nature, and any behavior makes people feel reasonable, as long as it is from the hand of Lan Juechen.
What Lan Jiechen said before was very right, this was his truest thought, and it was also his most basic understanding of Buddha, if you want to cultivate Buddha, you must establish a correct concept of cultivating Buddha, otherwise you will be like those people outside who have lost their souls.
Are they Buddhas?
They are Buddhas.
But is there any point in their path of cultivating Buddhism?
Maybe people know their own ups and downs, but in the eyes of the ancient Buddha, they have no meaning.
Lan Juechen's words are very ordinary, these big truths are actually understood by everyone, but when they come out of other people's mouths, especially from the mouths of Lan Jiechen and the ancient Buddha, the feeling and effect are different.
Because they themselves are the best samples, a sample of practicing Buddhism.
Did Lan Jiechen and his Han Yi Buddhism?
No.
The Buddha is the Tao, the Tao is the Law, and the Tao is natural.
Carrying firewood and water is a Buddha, walking, living, sitting and lying is a Buddha, raising eyebrows and blinking eyes is a Buddha, clarifying the mind and thinking is a Buddha, and Lan Jiechen is a Buddha everywhere on his body.
This is also a perfect interpretation of the essence of why Lan Jiechen has a merit ring.
Lan Jiechen and the ancient Buddha chatted happily, although every sentence was full of Zen, they both tacitly opened a central axis, and it was precisely because of this that the two chatted more and more deeply.
Lan Juechen thought that the ancient Buddha opposite was not like a Buddha who had reached the end of his years, and the ancient Buddha also felt that Lan Jiechen was not like a "child" whose bone age was less than fifty.
They chatted very openly, chatting deeper and deeper, Shui Ripple listened to it fascinated, many things were not that she didn't understand, but from the mouth of her Taoist companion, Shui Ripple always had an indescribable pride in her heart.
Murong Qing half-understands and half-understands, but she also has some gains, don't forget that she is the daughter of a god with Athena's bloodline.
Lan Jiechen and the ancient Buddha tacitly talked about the issue of Asura, the vastness of the ancient Buddha's knowledge greatly exceeded Lan Juchen's imagination, and the Asura seemed to be a race that really existed.
This seems to be the possibility of the real existence of the six realms of reincarnation, but if the six realms of reincarnation really exist, then what does his father, whom he has never met, want to do?
The ancient Buddha said that an asura is an intermediate state between man and Buddha, a celestial man with a human personality.
Its intelligence and morality are far above humans, and it is an important component of the protector of Buddhism. The depiction of asura in Buddhist scriptures is a metaphor that most people do not understand.
Buddhist scriptures say that men and women are beautiful, but in fact, both men and women are equally handsome.
The Buddhist scriptures say that they are fierce and aggressive, but they are actually tough and strong.
What the Buddhist scriptures describe is actually talking about people, and people with understanding know that they are talking about themselves when they read it.
Note that the Buddhist scriptures clearly point out that the problem of asura's degrading, does anyone say that animals practice to gain a human body, and asura degrading a human body.
Therefore, having the ability to think will not conclude that the asura path is worse than humanity, nor will it conclude that human morality is better than that of asura.
If you are actually reborn in the Heavenly Asura Path and are sad about the Heavenly Dao cultivation, it is reasonable to change your greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion, but many practitioners may not be able to succeed in the transformation, and if they die, they will follow the flow of fate, and if the good fortune is great and the hatred is heavy, it is possible to be reborn in the Asura Path.
This path does not have to be achieved according to the practice of Buddhism, it is all about passing away according to fate, and it is not a place to succeed in cultivation.
Even the beings of the Heavenly Dao are inferior to others, but the good fortune is better, and they will also fall after enjoying the good fortune.
A demon-breaking Buddhist scripture that has been circulated in the world, the Lengyan Sutra, says:
Ananda.
Yun He Xinxin, my name is Jie. If the minds of the beings of the six realms of the worlds are not adulterous, they will not continue with their birth and death. Thou shalt cultivate samadhi, and thou shalt work out of the dust. If the lustful heart is not removed, the dust will not come out.
No matter how wise you are, meditate on the present. If you continue to commit adultery, you will fall into the way of demons. The high-grade demon king, the middle-grade demon people, the low-grade witch, and other demons, there are also disciples. Each of them is said to be the supreme way.
In the end of the Dharma after I have been extinguished, there are many such demons, and the world is blazing, and they are widely greedy and prostitute, and they are good and knowledgeable, so that all sentient beings fall in love and lose the path of Bodhi. Thou shalt teach the people of the world to practice samadhi, first cut off the heart and fornication is the name of the Buddha first, and the first decision is to purify the teachings.
That's why Ananda. If you continue to practice meditation, like steaming sand and stones, you want it to become a meal, and after a hundred thousand eons, it will only be called hot sand. Why is this not a meal, but a gravel.
Thou shalt seek the wonderful fruit of the Buddha with thy body. Even if you have a wonderful understanding, you are all obscene roots. If you become a prostitute at all, you will not be able to get out if you turn three times. If you come to Nirvana, how can you cultivate it.
It will make the body and mind of the prostitution machine broken, and there will be no broken nature, which can be hoped for in the Buddha Bodhis. As I say, it's called the Buddha's saying. If you don't say so, you say.
