Chapter 209: Divine Power
"How old is he to open the altar to preach the Fa, what can he listen to!" Qi Er touched his bald head and pouted: "I didn't bother with that effort!"
Hu Lao said: "Qi Er, you, you are too self-righteous, don't think that you can't become a monk at a young age, Buddhism is vast and boundless, and supernatural powers are everywhere!"
Qi Er pursed his lips, although he didn't refute it, he obviously disagreed.
Hu Lao said: "Everyone, when the time comes, let's go and listen, whether it is true or false, whether it is high or low, is it clear at a glance?"
Qi Er said: "Old Hu, I think everyone has worked hard, listening to his nonsense, it's better for us to sit here and talk, isn't it?"
"You kid, the pattern is too small!" Hu Lao shook his head and said: "I made a conclusion before I saw a real person, how can I participate in the study of Buddhism with such a mentality?"
"Old Hu, why are you protecting that kid so much?" Qi Er's face flushed.
Hu Lao shook his head: "You, you are the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, and I don't understand when I tell you, whether you are a master or a layman, the old man's eyes can see it very clearly!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Hu Lao and listen to what he has to say!" Qi Er's face flushed and snorted.
Hu Lao looked at him, and knew that he was not convinced, maybe he was fighting some crooked idea, this Qi Er, Buddhism is not successful, but his martial arts are exquisite, and there are few opponents in Donglai Town.
This Zhan Ran master seems to be a high-ranking monk, and he should be able to block Qi Er's crooked moves, but he is a little interested, seeing how Qi Er will come nonsense.
Two days passed quickly, and in the early morning of this day, after Hu Lao washed up early, he punched again, his body was warm and refreshed.
After breakfast, he walked out of the house, walked slowly to the east, and came to a small temple halfway up a mountain outside the town, and in the shade of the woods, which was the Yuanxin Temple built by Zheng Yuanwai.
When he came to the temple, the main hall in the middle was closed, and there was a group of people in the open space in front of the temple, each sitting on a tree stump, very peaceful and leisurely.
Seeing him coming, people greeted one after another: "Brother Hu......"
Hu Lao smiled in return, then sat down next to a thin old man, and said with a smile: "Zheng Yuanwai, why are you sitting here?"
This old man is dressed plainly, but the workmanship is fine, and he fits perfectly on his body, revealing his spirit, and he sits in the crowd with a bit of a standing out from the crowd.
"Am I going to sit here?" said the thin old man.
Hu Lao said: "At least sit at the front, you can hear clearly, right?"
The thin old man smiled: "This Zhan Ran master is not an ordinary person, and he can hear it clearly when he sits here. β
"Zheng Yuanwai has seen the power of Master Zhan Ran?" asked Hu Lao with a smile.
The thin old man nodded and exclaimed: "This Zhan Ran master is young, but he has supernatural powers, ordinary people don't like it, and it is our great creation to be able to live here temporarily." β
"What magical powers does Master Zhan Ran have?" asked Hu Lao hurriedly.
The thin old man shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk about it for the time being, we'll know later." β
Hu Lao smiled and said: "Zheng Yuanwai also sold Guanzi, okay, I want to hear how Master Zhan Ran's Buddhism is." β
This thin old man is Zheng Xiyun, the richest man in Donglai Town.
Everyone is talking, they are not here to listen to the Dharma, just to join in the fun, Buddhism is quite prosperous in the Xihua Dynasty, but there are very few people who understand Buddhism, most of them go to the temple to worship the Buddha, ask the Buddha to bless, as for a deeper step but can not do anything.
Most of the people who can understand the Dharma are people who have read books and have a certain degree of cultivation.
However, there has been no monk in Yuanxin Temple for a long time, and suddenly a monk came, and it was a young one, they wanted to see what it looked like, and they simply came to see the excitement. ...,
"Knock ......" a bronze bell rang, and the bodies of the people who were talking and discussing trembled, as if a basin of water was poured on their heads, and suddenly their thoughts disappeared, their minds were clear, their hearts calmed down, and they no longer had the desire to speak, so they straightened up and sat down, staring ahead.
......The door of the main hall opened, and a bald young monk slowly came out of the main hall, walking calmly and comfortably, as if stepping on a white cloud.
Everyone felt refreshed and stared at him with blazing eyes.
He was wearing a purple robe, which was a little worn, as if it had been washed many times.
His appearance is ordinary, his skin is as warm as jade, the whole person is carved from white jade, a pair of eyes are deep and endless, and peaceful and calm, no sorrow or joy, like the eyes of the Buddha statue in the temple.
As soon as he was so majestic, everyone suddenly had distracting thoughts, looked at him in a daze, and invisibly gave birth to a trace of confidence, not daring to look down on him because he was young.
Li Muchan stood in front of the main hall, quietly looking at everyone, his eyes were peaceful.
He appeared in the Western China Kingdom under the name of Zhan Ran's original Dharma name, and it was a retreat that he received enlightenment from the Master of Empty Purity, and knew that faith was important and that it was the way to increase his strength.
He had an epiphany that the reason why the Buddha crossed people was not purely out of compassion, but for merit, and merit was not formless, but a real force.
The source of the power of merit is faith, and faith can be condensed on the body of the Xiang, increasing his strength, and he has found a way to break through the Great Grandmaster.
He came to Xihua this time to test whether this method was useful, Donglai Town is the easternmost town in Xihua Kingdom, and his first stop was here.
He wanted to try his hand at it, step by step, starting from here, step by step, experimenting slowly, if he could really find a way to increase his strength, he would naturally be able to avenge the original one-shot revenge.
"Ladies and gentlemen, be polite, monk Zhanran. He titheed and said with a smile: "Today, all the donors have come here to listen to the monk's teachings, and it is also fateful that the monk wants to talk about the practice of the Dharma, and it is better to believe in the Dharma than to practice the Dharma, and only by practicing the Dharma can you become a Buddha." Li Muchan smiled.
His voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, and the words were like beads, and they listened to them comfortably, and they unconsciously believed it.
Li Muchan said softly: "The Buddha once said that everyone has Buddha nature, everyone can become a Buddha, and the road to becoming a Buddha is not simply to recite a few Buddhist mantras and recite Buddhist scriptures a few times, but has its fundamental method. β
Li Muchan said: "The monk first said how to practice the law, meditation is the fundamental method, only when you enter the fixed state, the heart can be released, in order to give birth to the wonderful, and how to meditate, there is a law to follow, those who do not understand the law, it is difficult to step into the Buddha door for a lifetime of penance." β
As he spoke, he made a move with his hand, and suddenly a futon flew out of the hall, falling lightly behind him, he sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "Precept Dinghui, it is extremely difficult to keep the precepts, you don't have to be too strict when you first practice the Fa, and later as you improve your cultivation, you will naturally be able to keep the precepts." β
He talked eloquently, then showed the crowd how to meditate, how to stop the thoughts, and then asked them to try each stump as big as a futon on which they could meditate cross-legged.
With Li Muchan's guidance, everyone tried it one after another, and then sat silently, finding that their minds were clear, and then the white light in front of them was like a feather that would fly up at any time.
At this moment, a whistling came from a distance, and after a while, a figure flashed, but Qi Er appeared.
Everyone was immersed in the fixed state and heard the whistling sound, slowly opened their eyes, and their hearts were as calm as water, looking at Qi Er lightly. ...,
Li Muchan titheed: "This donor, please sit down." β
Qi Er stood at the gate of the temple with his arms folded and sneered: "No need, I'm here to listen to the Fa, I don't know what the master said?"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I'll only talk about the introductory method, do you want to hear it?"
"The Heart Law may be able to talk about it?" Qi Er sneered.
Li Muchan said: "Although the heart method is simple, it is profound, I am afraid that it is too time-consuming, and it is difficult for everyone to understand, and it takes a certain amount of cultivation to truly understand." β
"It's really funny, I can't talk about the heart method, what kind of law do you come out to talk about?!" Qi Er pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What about the Huayan Sutra?"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "Huayan is too long, and it takes more time to talk about it. β
"Then what scripture will you preach?" Qi Er said disdainfully.
Li Muchan said: "I can talk about these Buddhist scriptures, but I only listen to the Dharma and don't listen to the Dharma, everything is in vain, I will let everyone practice the Dharma first, and then talk about the Dharma, and the understanding will be deeper." β
Qi Er shook his head: "It's really funny, I've been with my master for many years, and I never knew that I had to practice Buddhism before listening to Buddhism!"
Li Muchan smiled: "Monks, don't say it!"
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Er frowned.
Li Muchan shook his head and said softly: "The monks preach the Dharma to cultivate believers, and the monks propagate the Dharma to create arhats and bodhisattvas. β
"What a big breath!" Qi Er sneered, "It's up to youββ? you to cultivate yourself into an Arhat, and create an Arhat and a Bodhisattva!"
Li Muchan smiled: "How do you know that I haven't reached the Arhat realm?"
"You ββ?" Qi Er shook his head: "At your age, you can still become an Arhat?"
Li Muchan smiled: "Who said that you must be old to become an Arhat?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the ground lightly, and suddenly a small bud appeared in the crack of the stone, and then the bud grew into a green branch, and a small flower bone appeared on the branch, which grew in the wind, and gradually turned into a blooming lotus, and the lotus was as white as snow, bright and flawless, and gently swayed with the wind.
Li Muchan bent down to pick this lotus flower, gave it away, fluttered in front of Qi Er, and said with a smile: "This is the Arhat realm?"
β...... Not count!" Qi Er's eyes widened and he said.
Li Muchan laughed, shook his head and said, "Okay, tell me how to do it?"
"Planting lotus in the fire is the only way to become. Qi Erdao.
Li Muchan pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, you go and bring the pot in the temple, boil hot water, and I will demonstrate one or two." β
"Okay!" Qi Er agreed neatly, turned his head and ran, quickly entered the courtyard next to him, quickly brought a pot, and then set it up with a few stones, picked a load of water and poured it into the pot, and lit a fire underneath.
Everyone quietly watched Qi Er busy with his work, and there was no help, but Qi Er was very familiar with this place, after all, he had lived for several years, and he had only been kicked out for a few years.
His martial arts are excellent, his skills are neat, and he is familiar with these fire-making and boiling water, and he quickly makes the fire prosperous, and the water in the pot slowly boils.
The water boiled and the heat steamed.
Everyone came around, Li Muchan walked to the pot with a smile, and said with a smile: "Buddhism does not talk about supernatural powers, once you pay attention to supernatural powers, you will be persistent, so you fell into the devil's way, I will take the risk of falling into the devil's way today, a little supernatural power, in order to strengthen everyone's faith." β
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and suddenly a lotus flower came out of the boiling water, the flower stem slowly elongated and rose, and the flower slowly bloomed, and finally bloomed into a huge white lotus, swaying in the wind.
Li Muchan smiled at Qi Er: "This donor, how is it?"
"Good, good!" the crowd shouted, looking excited.
Qi Er nodded slowly: "It's really powerful, I'm convinced, please take me as an apprentice from the master!"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "I see that the donor is angry and murderous, has he committed a murderous precept?"
"Master, there are rogues who have come to our town and want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, I can only kill them, and it can be regarded as doing the right thing for the heavens, is it considered a murderous precept?" Qi Er said unconvinced.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "Quit killing is not for others, but for yourself, once you kill someone, it is inevitable that there will be heavenly demons attacking when you enter the time." β
"I'm not afraid of the Heavenly Devil. Qi Er snorted.
Li Muchan sighed: "This heavenly demon is from outside the sky, and the other is from the heart, once you kill someone, you will plant the inner demon, and you can't get rid of it, so the Buddhist family abstains from killing in order to achieve it." β
"I see!" Qi Er nodded abruptly and said, "I thought it was compassion." β
Li Muchan smiled slightly: "Compassion and compassion, after cultivating Buddhism and reaching a certain realm, it will naturally give birth to compassion, not reluctant compassion, and the precepts are not for compassion, but for cultivation. β
"Master, please accept me as an apprentice!" Qi Er suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, his head collided with the green brick, "bang", every hit was ten out of ten, and his forehead was blue in a blink of an eye, obviously unlucky.
Li Muchan groaned and smiled: "Okay, I see that you are quite wise and kind-natured, and I accepted you as a registered disciple." β
"Thank you, Master!" Qi Er raised his head and was overjoyed: "Disciple Qi Er has seen Master!"
"You are my chief disciple, and I gave you the Dharma name Silence. Li Muchan said softly, stretched out his palm and gently stroked the top of his head, and suddenly the top of his head with a layer of green stubble returned to its brightness.
Li Muchan suddenly slapped his palm on Baihui, and let out a broken shout: "Duh!"
Qi Er suddenly sealed his hands, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, like an old monk in a fixed state, and really entered a fixed state.
Li Muchan turned to everyone and smiled: "Donors, you may wish to sit quietly for a while, you will receive benefits, even if you can't comprehend the wonders of Buddhism, you can still prolong your life." β
Everyone was in awe of him at this time, showing this kind of supernatural power, they no longer had any doubts, Li Muchan's youth had become capital, and he could cultivate to such a state at such a young age, naturally the method he cultivated was exquisite.
Since they have such a wonderful method, even if they are older, it doesn't matter, maybe they can cultivate like him and become arhats...... The dynamic cover of this book βββ
