Chapter 1032 Eight Hardships in Life
Everyone is paying attention to the great achievements of the first Buddha, whether it is the legend, whether it is the Buddhist scriptures, whether it is the Buddhists all praising his greatness, fraternity, compassion, everything is too perfect, especially the description in the Buddhist scriptures. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every detail is clearly stated, and it is a little strange that there are such people in the world who do not have any defects.
"Sage time. ”
Lan Jiechen suddenly thought of such a word, but it is impossible for a person to maintain such a long sage time, and to make contributions with such perseverance and accumulate yin virtue, I am afraid that there is some kind of purpose.
"I'm used to other people being whitewashed, but I prefer others to be naturally black. Lan Jiechen suddenly became interested, he suddenly didn't want to escape, he wanted to explore the secrets of the first Buddha master.
"Oops!" Lan Juechen suddenly patted his forehead. "How did I forget about this, the first Buddha Lord had a daughter, a twelve-rank dark holy lotus. ”
"This can't represent anything, the Dark Holy Lotus is the treasure of Buddhism, and in the scriptures, the lotus platform of the ancestor of the Buddhas is transformed by a dark holy lotus. Water Ripple spoke.
But her attitude towards the Emperor of Heaven is intriguing. Lan Juechen grinned.
Shui Ripple and Murong Qing didn't know the meaning of Lan Juechen's words.
"This is the place where the first Buddha Lord Nirvana, there must be a secret of his life, we will not escape, if my guess is correct, in a short time, the Emperor of Heaven will not return here. Lan Juechen said.
"Then don't go and find out, why were we suddenly teleported here?" asked Murong Qing.
"Don't think about it, it's nerve-wracking to think too much, after all, there are no obvious clues, but it's too much like what my master respects them, there is no need to dwell on it, the answer will surface by itself when the time comes. Lan Juechen responded.
The city of suffering.
Lan Jiechen and water ripples They stood not far from the city gate, and there were three Sanskrit words flashing on the city gate, and the city of bitterness was born.
The three words flickered with a faint rainbow of ten colors, and the ethereal chanting sound could be faintly heard, but no one stopped at the city gate to stop and savor it.
"The Seven Hardships of Life?" Lan Juechen's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
People come and go are Buddhists from various sects, compared to the path to godhood, these people directly regard Shui Ripple and Murong Qing as pink skeletons, which saves Lan Jiechen and them a lot of trouble.
After some repairs, Lan Juechen and the others went to the next city, and sure enough, the second city was the old bitter city.
Lan Jiechen and the others didn't stay long, they kept moving forward, until they came to the eighth city, the Five Yin Blazing City.
The first city is bitter.
The second city, old and bitter.
The third city is afflicted.
The fourth city, bitter death.
The fifth city, love parting from suffering.
In the sixth city, resentment will be bitter.
The seventh city, there is no suffering.
The eighth city, the five yin are blazing and bitter.
The eight ancient cities correspond to the eight sufferings of life.
"Each city corresponds to the experience of the first Buddha Lord, where the unbearable memories of the first Buddha Lord are buried?" Murong Qing muttered.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, you think too purely. Water ripples echoed.
Lan Jiechen nodded to the two women, obviously agreeing with Ripple Water's words.
The Buddha said: The seven sufferings of the human world are birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, love and separation, and unwanted.
But when I got here, there was one more hardship in my life, and the five yin were full of suffering.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the natural process of life, sorrow, resentment, affection, parting, and wanting, this is the suffering of subjective desires that cannot be satisfied.
In the end, it boils down to the "five aggregates", which refers to the love and pursuit of life, which is suffering, indicating that human existence itself is suffering.
In this way, suffering has a universal character, and suffering is inevitable for all living individuals.
The five aggregates are the root of the preceding seven sufferings. Human beings have five aggregates and six consciousnesses, and for this reason they form an illusion of sound and color, which spreads from false perceptions to the above seven sufferings. Therefore, in order to be liberated from suffering, we must realize that the world created by the five aggregates and six consciousnesses is all illusory, and the so-called "color is emptiness" is also.
The first bitterness in life is the bitterness of life.
The Buddha said that the real world is painful, and that the fact that we live in this world is itself painful.
When will life and death end? Pain comes from itself, and pain comes from living. So the first sound of life is to cry loudly.
In fact, the pain of the October fetus, needless to say, is that at the time of birth, a six-pound and eight-pound baby passed through the narrow birth gate, and the pain is beyond words.
After being separated from the mother's body, irritated by the scorching or cold air of the outside world, and being picked up by the huge palm of the midwife, the baby's delicate skin is more painful than the whiplash.
The crying of a baby after birth is caused by physical pain.
The second bitterness in life, old suffering.
The Buddha said that youth is easy to lose, and when youth is gone, all beautiful thoughts will be hidden in the deeper and deeper wrinkles.
While alive, already dead. The human body is always being born and dying. You are already old compared to yesterday, how can people control the changes in life and metabolism?
There is only white hair in the world of justice, and the nobles will not be spared on their heads. Oldness is inevitable for anyone.
Even if you are gifted, or you have the skills to give birth to a high level of cultivation, and you stand at the top of the pyramid, in the last years, the above phenomenon will always happen.
What's more, ordinary people are struggling to run around, in addition to the decline of physiological functions, because of the accumulation of past labor, fighting with the enemy, fighting with heaven and earth, and the hidden wounds and Dao injuries left behind are all unbearable pains.
As for aging, it is even more cruel for women, because in addition to physical pain, women also have the psychological pain of losing their youth. From bright eyebrows and bright teeth, goosebumps and goosebumps from the city and the country, and the old dragon clock, although it makes people sigh, but who can escape this old public example.
The third suffering in life is the suffering of illness.
The Buddha said that there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. In the cruel reality, who can guarantee that they will not be tormented by illness? People who eat whole grains will not get sick, and the pain of illness at any time will make people suffer from illness.
Since the day man fell to the ground, he has formed an indissoluble bond with illness.
The fourth suffering in life, the suffering of death.
The Buddha said that death may not be painful, and that the fact of death brings far more fear to the living than death itself. Death is the beginning of a new life, and reincarnation is the birth of the next living being, but the nostalgia at the time of death is painful.
Cover all things in the universe, live and die, and repeat the cycle. The Buddhist scriptures say that if you don't think about it, you will live for 84,000 tribulations, but you will still fall in the end, and you will not go out of the six realms of reincarnation.
The fifth suffering in life, love and farewell suffering.
The Buddha said that love is the pursuit of integration and overcoming division, love for God is the pursuit of spiritual unity, and love for people is the pursuit of unity in life.
But the pain contained in love itself is well known to everyone, and asking what is the love in the world is a promise of life and death.
Le Mo Le Xi new acquaintance, sad and sad parting, life and death parting, human tragedy, youth widowhood, middle-aged loss of children, although it is very sad, even if it is not a death farewell, or for the sake of food and clothing, or because of the situation, and the love of life, will also feel pain.
However, there is no feast in the world that will not be separated, and it is as close as a father and son, as close as a husband and wife, and it is rare to stay together for life, not to mention anything else?
That being the case, it is not surprising that people die
Every deceased person has a great ambition that he has yet to complete, so there are many people in the world who are blind to death, and at the same time there are physical and mental pain before death, the four major separations, difficulty breathing, and a thousand words in his heart, but he can't say a word.
At this time, the wife and child, surrounded by the bed, life and death parted, extremely miserable, especially when the dying was not dead, everything he did in this life, good and evil, all reflected in his mind.
Those who are good and worthy of their hearts will feel comfort and tranquility, but those who are evil and have a conscience will feel remorse, pain and horror.
At this time, because of the pain and terror, the hell is called, and the divine consciousness is drawn by karma and falls into the evil path.
The sixth suffering in life, you can't ask for suffering.
The Buddha said that human desires cannot be integrated with the object of desire, and desires are like elongated rubber bands that bounce back and hit themselves when they can't find a place to attach. The pursuit is painful, and at the same time it is losing.
Don't say that you can't ask for it, even if the first wish is granted, the second wish is born immediately. The valley is easy to fill, people are unsettled, who will feel that everything is satisfied?
If you are not satisfied, you will ask for something, and if you ask for nothing, will you not be distressed?
The seventh bitterness in life, resentment will be bitter.
The Buddha said that when love cannot be bridged, it is achieved in a sensual way – resentment, all external resentment will be bounced back and hurt oneself, and all internal resentment will hurt others.
Covetousness and lust are the source of suffering.
The opposite of love and parting from suffering is resentment and suffering. Like-minded friends, lovers who swear to each other, loving couples, or children who are happy under their knees, or birth and death, all can not be autonomous.
But on the contrary, those who are hateful, whose language is dull, or who have conflicting interests, who are incompatible, gather together. If these disgusting and abominable people can be seen for the rest of their lives, will they not be pure in sight?
In some situations, the more people who hate each other, the more they are arranged together, like shadows, as if there is no time to disperse, isn't this extremely distressing?
The eighth bitterness of life, the five yin are too bitter.
When people see, hear, think, encounter, and feel all kinds of illusions, they lose themselves and fall into pain.
The world is often deceived by appearances and falls into it.
The five yin are the five aggregates, and the five yin gather into a body, like a blazing fire, from which the first seven sufferings are born. The color is blazing, the four major imbalances, and there is the suffering of disease.
Receiving the yin and the blazing, accepting the separation, so that all the sufferings turn to the extreme: want to be blazing, want to pursue each other, and have love and parting, resentment and hatred, and can't ask for all suffering.
The line is blazing, and all the karma is the cause of the later retribution, and because of the line, the flow is non-stop, and there is the pain of old age. Knowing the yin is blazing, confusion is created, three generations are circulating, and there is the pain of life and death.
"The first Buddha is suffering now in the eighth suffering. Lan Jiechen pointed to the eighth city, which was not yet complete.
The eighth city is incomparably huge, there is no city gate, no city wall, all kinds of style buildings, one after another, there is no end in sight, there is no edge in sight, it is built on the mountain, and it is extended by the water.
This is a city, and it is clearly a country.
Noise, scolding, fighting, chanting, beasts, and sounds are endless, this is a human world.
As expected, the most fundamental source is in this eighth suffering, the eighth city.
"Why don't you describe this as the sea of suffering, and then you start to get out of here, get rid of the sea of suffering, taste the other seven sufferings one by one, become enlightened, and finally become a Buddha. Lan Jiechen smiled lightly.
"Put the cart before the horse. Water Ripple chimed in.
Lan Juechen smiled and nodded.
"Life in the world is like being in a forest of thorns, if the heart does not move, people will not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt, if the heart moves, people will move recklessly, and they will hurt their bodies and bones, so they will experience all kinds of pain in the world. Murong smiled sweetly.
"That's right. Lan Juechen agreed.
Walking into the city, Lan Jiechen noticed the difference here, the people here are very arrogant, unscrupulous arrogance, they can see at a glance that you are not a native, but from an alien domain.
Even more so than the mortal people who live in the imperial city and look down on other places, the desires of cultivators would have been magnified, but here they are even more exaggerated, they are unscrupulously arrogant, they unscrupulously look down on you, and they unscrupulously pit you.
What made Murong Qing unbearable was that the eyes of these people were naked, full of infinite aggressiveness, and Rao was indifferent, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Obviously, under such an environment, Lan Juechen couldn't sense a trace of sin, which made Lan Juechen's heart a little more excited, and there must be demons when things go wrong.
Unless it is the Great Thunder Yin Temple of Elysium, there is no evil breath in the world, and only the Great Thunder Yin Temple of Elysium has such a terrifying repulsive power, rejecting and suppressing all darkness.
Like the Great Sun, there is no room for darkness in the world.
The strength of the cultivators here is generally superior to that of the Alien Domain, and the lowest strength is comparable to the Buddhists of the Heavenly God Rank, and the Buddhas who are comparable to the True God Rank cultivators abound.
Beyond the four huge Sanskrit texts on the heavenly dome, Lan Jiechen and they officially entered the Five Yin Bitter City, the people in the city were more unscrupulous than the people outside, but there was no shortage of those old monks with profound Buddhism.
Either extremely arrogant, or unscrupulous, or full of aggression, or like an old monk, he doesn't ask about the world, only asks about himself, and regards everything as the past.
The world has me in my heart, and there is no world in my heart, and I have a feeling of looking down on the common people from the perspective of an immortal.
This is another kind of arrogance that is even higher.
Entering the bitter city, Lan Jiechen knew why the buildings were so numerous, and death and life danced together. (To be continued.) )
