Chapter 630: The disciple is afraid of being killed by you; Is this the only reason?
The matter of Bajie breaking the meat precept was already known to Fahai at that time, and the reason why he never mentioned it was not punished for this. It shows that this matter is actually for a reason, and the matter of breaking the meat precept of the Eight Precepts has been recognized by Fahai.
Fahai himself is a killing monk, and because the teachings of consciousness focus on cultivating the mind, in fact, the control of his own disciples in terms of precepts is not too strict.
Wasn't the living Buddha Daoji monk who practiced in Lingyin Temple back then "wine and meat pierced the intestines, and the Buddha sat in his heart", but who can question his compassion and Buddhism?
Perhaps, he is the only one, and he has never been able to forgive himself.
The world is like this, when you have it, you don't know how to cherish it, and it is often after you lose it that you regret it.
Whether it's love, family affection or friendship, in fact, this is the case.
For the current Fahai, in addition to the sentient beings of the Three Realms, in fact, the first place in his heart is these disciples under him, especially the four disciples who followed him all the way to the Western Heaven to learn scriptures.
Therefore, when they had an accident, no one was more nervous than him, because of his Dharma practice and the cultivation of the two generations of eminent monks, people could not see the joy and anger on his face.
Even Wujing, who had been following Master all the time, had a hard time judging Master's true thoughts from Master's outward appearance.
However, some small habits can still be felt.
It's like Shicai didn't dare to look up at the master's expression because he couldn't get the master's feedback, and Bajie, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, knew some of the master's temperament and habits, plus he himself had "done wrong" things, so it was inevitable that his mind would be unbalanced.
But then when he heard Master's words, he finally put his hanging heart in his stomach.
After all, when dealing with these disciples, the tone of anger and non-anger is still relatively obvious.
In fact, if you want to talk about trust and tacit understanding, then among these disciples, Wukong is undoubtedly the first; If you say who makes Fahai worry the most, then you must first deduce enlightenment; And the little white dragon is the most diligent disciple in Fahai's heart.
But when it comes to who is the most favored, it is undoubtedly the second disciple with the most common heels, Zhu Bajie.
Wukong, is Nuwa Niangniang mending the sky of the fairy stone breeding, belonging to the four monkeys of the mixed world of the Lingming stone monkey before meeting himself, has already followed his teacher to learn a heaven and earth skills, and in this way earned the "Monkey King" title, even if the Buddha pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, but a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace, or let him famous in the Three Realms.
Xiao Bailong was born in the West Sea, his own talent is extraordinary, his eldest brother is the number one master in the four seas, and his brother-in-law is Yang Jian, the Erlang Zhenjun of the Three Realms. It's just that before I met myself, I was slack off in my practice.
Not to mention the origin of Wujing, he is the "genuine" reincarnation of the golden cicada, the person who left behind the nine generations of resentment and incarnation, and his Buddhist understanding. Even above yourself.
Only Bajie, the "little pig demon", has an ordinary background and does not have any special heels, even if he gets some opportunities gifted by Marshal Tianpeng between deaths, but compared to his other senior brothers, it can't smooth out the gap in origin.
This is also why for a while, Bajie chose to "put it bad" on the westbound road, but it was not because he was too lazy. Rather, he felt discouraged that he could not see a corresponding return on his efforts.
This is a matter of state of mind, and he can't just look at it idlely, so Fahai didn't force him too much to let him practice day and night with a few senior brothers, as long as he completed the day's schoolwork, he could move freely.
One piece and one relaxation is the most suitable practice method for the eight precepts.
It's just that sometimes, when Bajie sees his brothers and sisters practicing hard one by one, he really can't go away in his heart, and he can't join the ranks of cultivation. But over time, he looked away.
As a mortal pig, it is enough to be fortunate enough to worship under the master, so why compete with these "demons"?
Isn't that pure self-inflicted with oneself?
After figuring out the eight precepts of this joint, on the way to the west in the future, the small day is obviously more and more comfortable. Of course, he did not fall behind in his daily practice and Buddhism, and he practiced step by step in a planned way under the arrangement of the master.
It's not just Master Fahai, in fact, the brothers and sisters are also spoiled by Bajie along the way.
Don't look at Wukong often fighting with Bajie, but if you really want to talk about it, the relationship between their brothers and sisters, that's really good, don't mention anything else for the time being, just ask Xiaobailong and Wujing, do you dare to call Wukong the "monkey who suffered from the plague" or "Bi Ma Wen"?
When the two of them saw the Great Sage, they had always respectfully said "Senior Brother".
However, Bajie only raised his head at this time, he still knelt in front of the cloud mirror, and admitted his mistake to the master in a deep voice: "Master, since the disciple has broken the precepts, please ask the master to punish him." ”
"Huh?"
But when he heard Fahai snort softly, Bajie, who had just relieved himself, was immediately a spirit, and his eyes looked at the master in a daze, not knowing if he had said something wrong.
"As a teacher, I have to punish you." Fahai's gaze was also a little stern at the moment, so that Bajie didn't dare to look directly for a while, "But it's not because you broke the meat ring." ”
Wujing on the side was actually looking at the second senior brother, but almost all of Bajie's mind was now on the master's body, and he had no time to look at the eyes of Senior Brother Gu Sha.
In fact, in Wujing's view, the second senior brother has always been very smart, although the senior brother often calls the second senior brother a nerd, but the second senior brother can gain something every time he has a flash of inspiration. It is even better than studying the Dharma more than ten times by himself.
Therefore, the master taught the second senior brother the method of Zen practice, and it really fits very well with the second senior brother, and since then, the second senior brother's cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds.
Finally, before reaching the spiritual mountain, the cultivation can bear fruit.
"Tell me for yourself, when exactly did you break the vows." Fahai is also quite patient with the Eight Precepts.
"Ahh I. Disciple" Bajie muttered for a long time, and then it suddenly dawned on him, knowing why the master's attitude had changed, "Three years ago. ”
"Three years." Fahai said in a deep voice: "Since you have broken the vows three years ago, why didn't you come to ask the teacher for guilt when you broke the vows three years ago?" ”
Bajie was speechless, what could he say to him?
Said: Disciple is afraid of being beaten to death by you?
But Bajie is indeed afraid of Master's punishment, when he first broke the vows, he was also in a panic all day, and he couldn't even sleep well all day, sometimes even if he was asleep, he could dream that the Master himself came to arrest him, threw himself into the flame of the Buddha of the Great Sun, and let himself suffer the pain of refining his mind as a punishment.
Even if they are often tested by the Great Sun Buddha Flame along the way, it does not mean that they are willing and able to bear the pain of heartburning. Now, even Wujing is not immune to the Great Sun Buddha Flame.
When he was burned, he didn't say anything, but he could only say that his willpower was relatively tenacious. And Bajie is always the first one among the brothers and sisters who can't bear it.
"Let's talk about it." Fahai raised his robe, "As a teacher, I want to hear what you have to say." ”
The matter of breaking the eight precepts, Fahai naturally heard it from the mouth of the six-eared macaque. Originally, I didn't want to think about it, but at this moment, I saw that Bajie didn't seem to figure out the real problem, so I still had to mention him.
"Yes."
The Eight Precepts, who have come to his senses, naturally deeply realize his mistakes, and he also knows that the reason why the Master wants to punish himself again is not because he broke the meat vow, but because he broke the meat precept and did not explain it to the master in time, and when he saw the master today, he also used the matter of "breaking the vow" to ask the master for his guilt, which obviously made the master unhappy.
But now that the master has given himself a chance, and he can still remedy it, Bajie naturally won't waste it, and hurriedly explained: "Master, this matter is not complicated. ”
"The disciple of that day was originally looking for a seasoned wild material, and when he arrived near Changbai Mountain," Bajie began to tell the reason and beginning and end of his breaking the vow that day, "Before entering the mountain, I heard that there was a snow demon in the mountain, who was born extremely beautiful, and often hooked into the mountain to hunt the young man, at least to suck its yang energy, and to harm people's lives After the disciple heard about it, he changed into a young man who went into the mountain to hunt, wanting to lure the snow demon out, kill the demon, and eliminate harm for the people." ”
"Hmm."
Fahai still agrees with Bajie's heart of slaying demons and demons, but he still asks one more question, "Is this the only reason?" ”
Bajie actually wanted to be hard-mouthed, but when he looked at the past with the master's gaze, he already knew that he had already known that little thing, I am afraid that he had already been shaken by the six-eared junior brother, and now the master let himself say, I am afraid that it is to let him tell the cause and effect before and after, as well as what he really thought in his heart at that time. If there is any more secrets, I am afraid that the master will not let himself go.
Since you can't hide from it, it's better to say it generously to show that you are calm, "Master, you know the disciple, although the disciple quit lust back then, but if he meets those beautiful and beautiful women, he still can't help but look sideways. But the disciple swears, the disciple is simply curious about what kind of beauty the snow demon has, and if he violates this oath, please burn it under the flame of the Buddha's great day. ”
As we all know, it is easy not to swear when you really have a "God".
Otherwise, once the oath is broken, there will inevitably be a response.
Just like Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong back then, when the two of them passed on martial arts to each other, they made an oath, saying that if they concealed something, Luo Cheng would die under ten thousand arrows, while Qin Qiong said that he vomited blood and died.
As a result, Luo Cheng concealed the return of the horse pistol, and Qin Qiong did not teach the killer weapon Finally, Luo Cheng was framed, and when he was fighting with Liu Heimin and Su Dingfang, he led the horse into the mud and was shot to death by the ambushed archers.
Qin Qiong also died of a violent illness because of an injury, and finally vomited blood on the bed.
In fact, this is also related to the identities of the two of them, you must know that Li Shimin is Ziweixing, and whenever this time comes, there will be all the heavens and stars to assist the new king in the lower realm, Luo Cheng is the White Tiger Star, and Qin Qiong is the general of Zuo Tianpeng.
It's just that today's White Tiger Star has been reincarnated as Xue Rengui in the Nether Realm again, and because of Xue Rengui's own awakening of the power of the human bloodline, it has helped the White Tiger Star Divine Soul, which was originally imprisoned on the god list, to get out of trouble.
And Qin Qiong. After his death, his spirit did not return to Heaven. Instead, he was reincarnated with the black god Wei Chigong, who was enshrined by the Son of Heaven in the world, and since then he has become the two major gods of "left and right", and has enjoyed the incense in the world since then.
And the god position of this god was also enshrined by the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and from then on, these two true gods will be enshrined on the gate of every household.
Speaking of which, the reason why the two of them were able to become door gods was inseparable from the Jinghe Dragon King back then.
Back then, Li Shimin was beheaded by Wei Zheng because of the Jinghe Dragon King, and his heart was always unhappy because of this, so he often dreamed of the dragon soul asking for his life at night, and later it was Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong These two generals guarded outside the door for a night, which made Li Shimin sleep peacefully.
After this incident was transmitted to the people, whenever there were nightmares and evil disturbances, the people drew the appearance of the two generals and pasted them on the door, and if they were really able to sleep peacefully and sleep until dawn.
This back and forth, without even Li Shimin going down to the edict, relying on the people's spontaneous incense worship, it is enough for their souls to ascend to immortals and become the god of incense. The spirit is just not enshrined, after all, the name is not right.
After Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong died of illness, Li Shimin officially decreed that the two of them should be named the door gods and the generalissimo of the country.
Hearing Bajie make an oath, Fahai opened his mouth and said: "Having said that, I am afraid that your lust heart has not been eradicated. All living beings are born with their nature, otherwise how can they reproduce? As long as the erotic nature does not transform into lustful thoughts, there is no big problem, and everyone has a love for beauty, but it is just a measure of it, you have to be careful and cautious to grasp it, otherwise once you cross the line. For the sake of the teacher, I will not spare you. ”
Bajie made an oath that once he really made a mistake, Fahai would definitely give him a profound retribution.
Bajie obviously knew the power of these vows, and he made this oath, in addition to showing his openness, but also to keep himself awake at all times, and not to break the vows of fornication when he had already broken the precepts of killing and meat, so he then made an oath: "The disciple swears again, if the disciple moves the heart of fornication in the future, he will be devoured by ten thousand thunders." ”
In this way, it can be seen that the heart of the eight precepts is firm.
But Fahai actually knows that the reason why Bajie repeatedly made vows on the basis of lust and fornication and stated the position of the Dao heart was actually to pave the way for the "meat precepts".
