Chapter 30: Apprenticeship to Bodhi

Ao Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, the woodcutter's words basically meant that the ancestor had decided to accept himself!

He wanted to follow the woodcutter into the cave. But he was a little hesitant, just because he was a dragon body, and the change was more than ten zhang large, and the door of the cave seemed to be not big, and it was inevitable that it would be a little difficult to enter directly.

But at this moment, Ao Qing was suddenly stunned.

Just because, he found that he suddenly had more "hands and feet".

I just woke up, and I didn't have much consciousness, but now Ao Qing suddenly realized that he had unconsciously transformed into a shape!?

The woodcutter seemed to notice this, and smiled, "Could it be that the junior brother hasn't noticed it yet?" And follow me to Yaotai to see the patriarch, and know the reason. ”

When Ao Qing heard this, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and followed the woodcutter into the cave.

This three-star cave of the oblique moon, from the outside, is not unusual. But after entering, I saw that there was a different world in the cave!

I saw layers of deep pavilion Qionglou, as soon as I entered the Pearl Palace, I couldn't say that the quiet room was secluded, and I couldn't finish the fairy blessed land!

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, oblique moon three-star cave. Since coming here, Ao Qing has seen countless magical things, and he has never even imagined it before!

Under the leadership of the woodcutter, Ao Qing soon came to the foot of Yaotai.

I saw Bodhi Patriarch Tong Yan Hefa and fairy wind bones.

He sat on the stage, holding the dust, and the spirit of his body was self-generated, which was like a fairy and a master!

Ao Qing faced the patriarch and saluted respectfully: "Disciple Ao Qing, I will bow to the ancestors, meet the ancestors, and hope that the ancestors can accept the disciples as apprentices!" ”

Patriarch Bodhi did not stop it, since he accepted the disciple, he naturally accepted this gift.

After Ao Qing worshipped, the patriarch stroked the dust:

"You don't have to be restricted. If you can get here, you are destined to be with me, and it is useless to accept you as a vain. ”

Although he had been prepared for a long time, when he saw the ancestor who was thinking about him, Ao Qing naturally couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

Now, when he heard that the patriarch had recognized him, he was of course overjoyed: "Meet the master!" ”

Seeing this, the patriarch was also very happy in his heart, and his face unconsciously showed a look of relief.

The disciple chooses the teacher, and the teacher chooses the disciple.

For Ao Qing, he was naturally overjoyed to be able to worship under the Bodhi Patriarch.

But for Patriarch Bodhi, being able to accept such a good apprentice, isn't it a blooming heart?

Ao Qing was about to speak, but the patriarch spoke first.

He didn't ask Ao Qing some scenes like "where are you from" like accepting Sun Wukong, but said directly: "Since you worship under my door, you should follow my rules." Although you already have a name, you should also have a legal name that is easy to call. ”

Patriarch Bodhi said this, Ao Qing did not have any accidents.

It's better to say that if he doesn't give himself a "Dharma name", then Ao Qing will be a little nervous in his heart.

The name of the law, that is, the name of the Tao. It is equivalent to the proof of a person's "new life".

The several names of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk in "Journey to the West" are equivalent to the meaning of "the grace of recreation". There is a sense of a twist.

It can be said that, in a sense, only when a teacher is given a name can it be regarded as a "true transmission". If there is no name, then even if there is the grace of a master and apprentice, it is not a true inheritance.

For example, the Taishang Eighty-One Transformation pointed out how many great supernatural powers, but few people dared to say that they were the apprentices of the Dao Ancestor.

Now, Patriarch Bodhi wants to give Ao Qing a Dharma name, and Ao Qing is naturally happy to accept it, because it means that the patriarch really recognizes himself!

But at the same time, he was also a little curious. What name does this patriarch want to give himself?

He remembered that the Bodhi Patriarch said to Sun Wukong that there were twelve characters under his door, which were Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, and Jue. When it comes to Sun Wukong, it is exactly the word "Wu".

Now, Sun Wukong has not yet been born. What are you? Is it "Ying" or "Hai"?

Ao Qing thought so. But in fact, it was somewhat unexpected for him.

But I saw that the patriarch thought for a moment, and then, brushing the dust, said slowly: "You can understand my heart path and prove my Bodhi." When you can inherit the word 'heart'. I see that under the Bodhi tree, you seem to have attained mysteries, and your thoughts are scattered in the Three Realms, so how about calling you 'Xinxuan'? May when you remember this name, do not forget the principle that 'words are broken, and hearts and deeds are destroyed.'" ”

"Xinxuan?"

Ao Qing silently recited these two words. But it turned out that it was the patriarch who saw that he got the Bodhi seed from the Bodhi tree, and his mind could float freely in the heavens and the earth. Therefore, we should admonish ourselves not to forget our own nature and lose our hearts.

The so-called "words are broken, and hearts and deeds are destroyed" is also the same truth. Self-nature is unthinkable and indiscusable, the six roots cannot be touched, and it is only possible to realize it by letting go of the six roots and attachment to the external environment.

This name can be said to contain the patriarch's expectations for himself.

Ao Qing immediately thanked him: "Thank you Master for giving me the name, remember my heart!" ”

Since then, Ao Qing has had a legal name, called "Ao Xinxuan".

This is exactly what it is:

Bodhi Ying's enlightenment is like this, and the mind is extinguished.

……

……

said that Ao Qing had obtained the name of the law, so he was naturally happy, but there was still something he didn't understand. So he asked the patriarch: "Master, my body ......."

It turned out that since Ao Qing woke up in the "Bodhi Realm" and arrived at the Sanxing Cave, he found that he had already transformed! Thinking of the Dragon Girl, Ao Qing naturally thought that it was the Bodhi Patriarch who helped him transform into a form.

However, when the patriarch heard this, he said, "This body is the embodiment of your mental image, not the one I helped you to transform." ”

When Ao Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The embodiment of the mental image? What does that mean?

Listening to the words of the Bodhi Patriarch, Ao Qing seemed to understand a little.

Seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi shook his head slightly and said, "Okay." Now you are bowing down to my door, O disciple. But do you know what the 'Lingtai Fangcun Mountain' and 'Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave' in front of the cave house mean? ”

Ao Qing said: "The Lingtai is square inches, and the oblique moon is three stars." It all means 'heart'...... Moham! ”

Ao Qing suddenly realized the meaning of the patriarch's words, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that this is not in the mortal world?" ”

The patriarch smiled: "Yes, yes. There are wisdom roots. I am this Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon. It is not in the Three Realms, but in a mental realm. Being here is a state of immortality, non-increase and non-diminishing. It's both true and illusory, the skills you learn are real, but the things you experience are fake. And you have just attained wisdom under the Bodhi tree, and the form of your mind has also been manifested by this. ”

Ao Qing understood.

It turned out that he had fused the experiences of two lives and found his heart. Therefore, he no longer simply exists as a "dragon", but integrates the past and the present. Thus, there is a saying that there is a transformation in this mental realm.

At the same time, he was surprised.

It turns out that Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon, is such a thing!

No wonder after the monkey left the Sanxing Cave in "Journey to the West", there was no news of the Bodhi Patriarch. Because this patriarch is an existence that is "immortal and immortal, both illusory and real".

What is happening here, it's all fake. However, the supernatural abilities obtained from the cultivation in this mental realm are real. When it is true, "when it is false, it is true, and when it is true, it is also false, and there is sometimes none".

Ao Qing also remembered the poem of this Bodhi patriarch.

Dajue Jin Xian has no dirty posture, and the Western Miao Xiang Ancestor Bodhi;

The three or three elements are immortal, full of energy, all gods, and all compassion.

Emptiness naturally changes, as nature does;

With the solemn body of the same life as the sky, the great mage of the bright heart has been tribulated.

This implication is really appropriate!!
