Chapter 477: Ordinary people are afraid of fruits, and bodhisattvas are afraid of causes
"Dedication?" Fang Ze couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this, he rarely heard this word, but he had seen it in the classics.
Dedication is a Buddhist term that refers to a very important practice in the process of Buddhist study.
Dedication is to 'return' the merits, wisdom, good deeds, and good knowledge that you have cultivated to share with all beings in the Dharma realm, rather than enjoying them alone, so as to broaden your mind and give your merits a clear direction without being lost.
Zhao Shiyi said: "The dedication of Buddhism means to make good karma, and after doing good deeds to a certain extent, there will be feedback, and this kind of good karma is concentrated on you, which is called dedication. ”
After a pause, Zhao Shiyi continued: "This kind of dedication method, I have also heard of it in the Daomen, but it is not the mainstream, but Buddhism pays attention to karma, and many believers who do good deeds will go to the mage to dedicate themselves after doing good deeds for a few years or decades, but I don't know exactly how to do it, if you are very interested in this matter, I have someone who can recommend it, he must know very well what is going on." ”
Glossy asked, "Who is it?" ”
"This person is also known to you, that is Master Jueyuan of Tianlong Temple."
Fang Ze nodded slightly after hearing this, and he said, "That's true, Master, he has reached the level of the first master of the Divine Essence level, and he has a deep study of Buddhism, so it may indeed be helpful to find him." ”
Zhao Shiyi nodded and said: "That's true, and there is one thing I want to tell you, that is, I once told you that after solving the matter of Wen Yanbo, I once went to Master Jueyuan and chatted with him, and at that time he told me some things, I think these things may be helpful to you, all about gods and demons, and even immortals and Buddhas." ”
"I didn't talk about these things too much, but after meeting you this time, I found that you may be exposed to things at a much higher level than me, these things may be Master Jueyuan can give you some help, some things, there are records in Buddhism, although Buddhism is two paths, but Master Jueyuan himself is worthy of admiration, maybe it can give you some inspiration."
Fang Ze nodded.
Zhao Shiyi said these things and took his leave, he still had his own things to do.
Fang Ze was ready to go to Tianlong Temple.
There is a Tao of speed and time, which are relative concepts.
In the past, it would take Fang Ze a few days to travel from the capital of the Longkang Realm to the Tianlong Temple where Master Jueyuan was located, but now he used the Do'er Flying Shuttle to travel through, and it was only a few quarters of an hour.
In less than half an hour, Fang Ze had already arrived from the capital to the direction where the Tianlong Temple was located.
He entered the temple directly, just lifting his feet, his figure seemed to flash, and he reappeared at the place where Master Jueyuan was already practicing.
Here Jueyuan is cross-legged in the courtyard, with a cup of tea in front of him.
He was drinking tea here, and suddenly he felt a little stunned, and looked sideways to see that it was Fang Ze.
"Master Yuan, when did you come here?" Jueyuan was a little surprised.
Although he has already dissipated his work, some of his usual habits are still there, so that no one will get close, and he won't notice it so quickly and so closely.
Fang Ze smiled and said, "This time I came more suddenly, so I was disturbed, but this time I have something to ask the master." ”
Jueyuan nodded, he was actually very adaptable, and then pointed to the stone bench opposite the stone table and said, "Please sit down, let's have tea together, and Lord Yuan will say your words carefully." ”
After Fang Ze sat down, he took a sip of tea, and then roughly explained what he had encountered, which did not involve the secrets of gods and demons, but also hinted at them.
He said, "I want to do something, and then while I was doing something, all of a sudden, I kept dreaming about some strange scenes, and I went to ask Master Zhaotian, and he said Master, you may know more about this, is it related to the dedication of Buddhism?" ”
After listening to this, Jueyuan thought for a moment and said: "That's true, we have a saying, because at that time, if you do good things in this life, do good things, and operate them in a certain way, you may be able to directly return good things to your own destiny defects." ”
"Many people do this, but in fact, the easiest thing is to worship the Buddha in the temple, burn incense and ask for children, and then make a promise, so doing good deeds may end up in response."
Fang Ze nodded, he might not have believed in these things originally, but there are indeed some metaphysical things in this world, you can't be sure that it exists, but it will really appear sometimes.
Fang Ze himself had already traveled through two lives, and he naturally still had a certain awe of these things.
Fang Ze asked, "I don't know what the situation I encountered is in the eyes of the master?" ”
Jueyuan said: "I heard what the donor said just now, it may be that you have done a great thing of far-reaching significance, so you have a feeling, but I can't be very sure whether this is a day of thought, a dream of the night, or what the donor said before is a dedication." ”
"Yes." Fang Ze nodded, and he said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask the master, if someone keeps doing something that affects all living beings, according to the Dharma you have learned, will there be some feedback and negative things?" ”
After hearing this, Jueyuan thought for a moment and said: "This does exist, in fact, there are 84,000 Dharma methods, and there are many Dharma methods, in fact, everyone has different root organs, some methods can only be cultivated by ordinary people, and some methods can be cultivated by great wisdom. ”
"But I can say one thing clearly, Buddhism believes in cause and effect, everything has cause and effect, but the relationship between cause and effect is extremely complex, not simply retribution is unpleasant can be explained, in fact, this cause and effect is not a person can be detached from reversal, as the so-called Bodhisattva fears the cause, ordinary people fear the effect, there must exist because of the effect."
"If, as Lord Yuan said, someone has done something angry and resentful to all creatures in this heaven and earth, he may not react for a while, he may have the blessings of his ancestors, but in other aspects, all kinds of problems will continue to appear, until the blessings are exhausted, and his karma will be retributed."
Fang Ze nodded slightly when he heard this, even if he didn't go to the Buddha Gate, he still knew some things.
The so-called praying to the Buddha is actually part of superstitious idols.
There is a Dharma part of the true Buddha's path, which is similar to the existence of a kind of inquiry into the true truth and the dialectical analysis.
Fang was more interested in this part and less interested in idolatry.
Hearing Jueyuan say this, Fang Ze's confidence in his heart was even firmer.
If the Heavenly Court is really perverse, although they may still occupy a good position now, after a long time, there will always be some manifestations.
Such words also added some confidence to Fang Ze in the path he would take in the future.
After a general understanding, Fang Ze said another substantive issue that came this time.
He said to Jue Yuan: "Master, in addition to asking you about your dedication to relevant knowledge, I also want to discuss with you this time, that is, are you willing to practice martial arts again, embark on the right path of martial arts, and gain about seventy years of longevity because of this?" ”
