Chapter 129: Nezha's Dao Heart
Ao Qing's Dao mind "bodhicitta is essentially a mana that traces the principles of heaven and nature".
Bodhicitta carries Ao Qing's original intention - to lift up the dragon family, protect one's body, and support oneself.
At the same time, it also helped Ao Qing to pursue the avenue and realize the roots.
These are the two realms of the Tao that the patriarch said.
Perhaps, it can also be said that the Tao is "broad" and the "narrow" sense.
Although these Ao Qing already had a rough understanding before. But now the patriarch has summarized and integrated it, making it more clear.
Later, Ao Qing suddenly realized that his Dao heart could not be completely "Bodhizi".
The "Pure Mind" in the Yuanshen Qinglian is also the "Dao Heart" that can help Ao Qing trace nature and explore the principles of heaven.
It's just that it's not the same as Bodhi. If we talk about Bodhizi, it is to help Ao Qing to "fight", to "obtain", and to find opportunities.
Then the quiet mind is more to help Ao Qing calm his mind, get rid of desires, and keep his heart.
In this way, the "Blue Lotus" in the Water Curtain Cave is really a rare divine object in the Three Realms, and it is not even under the Bodhi Tree of the Patriarch to some extent!
Thinking of this, Ao Qing couldn't help but have a doubt. So who left Qinglian behind? What does the scene in Qinglian represent?
But in the blink of an eye, he was not obsessed with this matter. Anyway, let it be, what should happen, will always happen; What you should know, you will always know.
On the contrary, it was Nezha, after the patriarch finished preaching the "Tao", Nezha's eyes were blank, as if he was a little doubtful of life and didn't know where he was.
Seeing Nezha like this, Ao Qing suddenly realized...... Nezha may not benefit much.
Sure enough, after the patriarch finished speaking, he asked Nezha, "What have you learned from my words?"
Nezha paused, his face embarrassed: "I...... The patriarch spoke very clearly, and I understand the meaning. However, I still wonder what my "original intention" is."
Ao Qing heard Nezha say this, and suddenly realized.
yes.
The words of the patriarch, although very subtle, can be said to be the most simple way, and the explanation is extremely clear.
Don't say that Nezha is talented and intelligent, even if these words are said to a person with mediocre talents, probably that person can understand.
But. The Tao is indeed here, but everyone's Tao heart is different.
Nezha knew the essence of "seeking the Dao", but he himself did not know where his "Dao heart" was.
This is not at all conflicting.
However, looking at the patriarch's expression, it seems that Nezha also expected this to happen.
The patriarch said, "Everyone's Dao mind is different, and the form of expression is also different. However, for you, I can mention you. Think about it, if you are faced with a disaster and have to struggle to survive, what will give you a reason to continue to survive? This reason is your "Dao Heart."
Nezha was stunned.
Even Ao Qing was a little surprised that the ancestor would say this.
But when you think about it, it seems that there is no reason to say so.
For ordinary people, or just instinct, it is a will to survive that stems from instinct.
But for the immortals, this reason is somewhat weak.
Especially when faced with the "Eternal Tribulation".
Everything in the world will come to an end one day. When everything is extinguished and only one's own will remains, the reason for the will to continue to exist is not only "instinct".
Nezha pondered.
In his mind, he couldn't help but trace back to the day he was born 50,000 years ago.
Meet, get acquainted, and get to know each other. and the belief that sustained his heart for 50,000 years.
Could it be ......
"What does the patriarch mean to say...... I understand, I know what my Dao heart is!" Nezha suddenly realized.
Yes, Nezha's Dao heart, or "original heart", may be regarded as a kind of "friendship" and dependence on Ao Qing.
Although this may seem a bit rash. However, it is not ridiculous.
It's like, the sub-stage of the boy. When the two are there, they can intersect with music and trace the way of sound. Isn't this a kind of pursuit of the Tao?
But when Zhong Ziqi died of illness, Boya resolutely broke the strings of the piano and never played again.
This is tantamount to an act of "absoluteness".
In this way, the avenue of sound is equivalent to the "way of nature" in a broad sense. And the friendship with Zhong Ziqi is Boya's "original intention" and the heart of seeking the Tao.
So, it's the same for Nezha!
Tracing the avenue, seeking the roots, becoming stronger, or changing the world, changing the will of heaven, etc., are all "avenues" in a broad sense.
And the friendship with Ao Qing, and the trust with Ao Qing. It is his "Dao Heart" in the narrow sense!
Of course, if the Dao Heart is this, then Nezha also has a weakness.
For example, if Ao Qing is ruthless and unrighteous to him, or Ao Qing dies, etc., it is very likely that his Dao heart will be cut off, or even fall into the Demon Dao, and disappear into the red dust.
A calamity like this is also known as the "Red Dust Tribulation". For Nezha, the "Red Dust Tribulation" in the future is tantamount to the most powerful calamity. It's even more terrifying than the three calamities, the five decays of heaven and man, or something.
But once the Dao heart is born, then it is very difficult to change.
What's more, Nezha doesn't think it's anything. He believes in Ao Qing and trusts Ao Qing even more.
Nezha immediately said, "Thank you for the guidance of the patriarch, Nezha feels that he has benefited a lot."
The patriarch said, "You don't need to thank me, I just revealed to you what you already have. However, although you know your heart today, you have no way to understand the mysteries. You can stay in the three-star cave, and I should enlighten you with the Bodhi realm."
Nezha looked at Ao Qing, Ao Qing nodded, and said, "This is a great opportunity, there is no need for the virtuous brother to hesitate."
"Good! Then ...... I'm sorry for the ancestor!"
Nezha immediately agreed.
And Ao Qing was also happy for him.
Because it won't be long...... Nezha will enter a new realm, and at that time, his mana will increase greatly!
Yes, the Bodhi realm that the patriarch spoke of is the "Bodhi Tree". Now that Nezha has understood the Tao heart, the opportunity he gets in the Bodhi tree is equivalent to the opportunity similar to Ao Qing's "Bodhi Zi".
Of course, Nezha's own Dao heart will not be in the same form as Ao Qing's Bodhizi, but it is definitely powerful.
After Nezha is cultivated, even if he may not be as good as Ao Qing, who has both "Bodhi Zi" and "Pure Mind", he will definitely far surpass himself today!
The patriarch waved his hand, and Nezha disappeared in a daze.
Obviously, he was sent to the "Bodhi Realm" by the patriarch.
After doing all this, Nezha's matter is over.
The next thing is also to wait for Nezha to have some understanding from the Bodhi realm and come out.
Of course, the patriarch didn't pay much attention to this. After all, this is just a reminder for him.
I saw that the patriarch looked at Ao Qing again and suddenly said, "Xinxuan, when you come back this time, you also have something to do as a teacher, and I want to inform you."
When the patriarch opened his mouth like this, Ao Qing was stunned.
It was the first time he had heard that the patriarch had something to inform him.
After all, a great supernatural person like the ancestor should not need Ao Qing's help in anything.
He immediately said, "Master, please speak."
The patriarch bowed his head and said, "This matter is related to your future junior disciple......
"Future junior brother?"
Ao Qing was stunned, but immediately reacted.
Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi said ...... Monkey!?
