Chapter 52: The Truth
The mind is too empty, and the galaxy is mysterious.
Where the stars move, there is a return date.
During this period of time, my biggest feeling is that I have a further understanding and perception of life, people have long and short in this life, high and low, whether you are rich or poor, you can not escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, whether you are rich or poor, you also have to eat three meals a day, but everyone's feelings are different, in fact, for different people, their happiness is the same, but different things are defined differently.
The meditation at night made me understand some things, and I thought about many things, and I was more determined to myself, only by going on this path of cultivation can I truly understand the true meaning of life, and I did not continue to meditate at night, but lay on the bed and slept beautifully.
The next day I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers coming in from outside, all kinds of firecrackers outside the building are endless, even if the people inside the house are closed and can't hear clearly, I stand in front of the window, leisurely and comfortably look at the adults and children below, in the careful lighting of all kinds of barrel firecrackers, only to listen to the sound of "whoosh", a "meteor" rushed into the blue sky, suddenly bloomed in mid-air like a fairy scattered flowers, exuding a little starlight, and like countless neon lights in the flash, majestic!
A few more children, lit semi-circular firecrackers, only to see the "three golden dragons" rushing into the air like rockets, they may want to travel in space, but unfortunately only in mid-air they have no energy, so they have to shy retract into the hole; There were also a few mischievous children, tying a cylindrical firecracker to a tree and carefully lighting it, and it immediately spun desperately like a flying saucer until it was exhausted, and then gradually subsided.
Now I don't have as much interest in setting off firecrackers as I did when I was a child. However, standing in front of the window and looking at the cheerful people below, I couldn't help but have a compassionate emotion for all living beings in my heart, I don't know where this feeling came from, so it suddenly appeared in my heart, and I couldn't calm down in my heart for a long time, I just looked at the people downstairs, standing in front of the window and quietly in a daze.
This is a compassionate emotion, and the generation of this emotion is somehow out of my control, which is like a mixture of the world, but there is a feeling, which is still white and immaculate, and the human heart is unpredictable, but there is a feeling, which cannot be turned into a conflict.
In this complex world, the thing that people find in their minds that can calm people down is compassion.
In fact, people who have lost their compassion are the most pitiful, they are cold, ruthless, lonely, lonely, like a small sapling in a gray corner, unable to find a direction to grow, and there is only endless emptiness in the depths of their hearts.
Compassion is a peaceful and beautiful song, and the beating of every note is full of emotion; Compassion is a bowl of delicious fresh soup, and every time you pour out your feelings, it warms the hearts of others.
At this moment, I am personally feeling, this compassionate emotion brings me this different feeling, my body and mind are completely immersed in it, and the energy in my body is also running rapidly in this emotion.
I was in this state, all the sounds around me began to slowly move away from me, and gradually I entered an ethereal state, as if my body was integrated with everything around me, and it was as if I had become the things around me, and now I could perceive the small movements of a small insect within a radius of a kilometer, and I could sense the figure of a wild cat running quickly outside the building, and I could also perceive the thoughts of all the people in the whole building, which was another wonderful feeling.
At this time, I began to consciously relax my mind, my heavenly eyes were naturally opened at this time, and instantly I saw the whole picture of the earth where we human beings live, it is a blue beautiful planet, everything on this earth I have a full view, our earth is extraordinarily beautiful in the universe, the blue part is the vast ocean, the green part is the dense forest, the white part is the snow that does not melt all year round, and the yellow part is a large area of desert.
Looking at it, I found that the earth itself is like a living thing, because the mountains and rivers on the earth are like human veins and blood vessels, the earth is the skin of the earth, the forest is the hair of the earth, it looks so vibrant, we human beings live on this earth, we practitioners exist to protect the earth from external evils, and the real meaning of our cultivators' existence is not for ourselves.
My consciousness was in this dark space, the space around me was dark and quiet, and I only felt a little moonlight shining on me from the moon not far away.
I expanded the scope of observation again, and continued to look at the moon more distantly, and soon my eyes converged on the front side of the moon, the front of the moon seemed to be full of craters, some large and some small for hundreds of kilometers, and the small ones were only a few kilometers, and I remembered that Master said that this moon used to be a human flying machine, and I looked at the whole moon with my heavenly eyes, and I didn't find where the entrance to the moon was, but I found several huge craters and several pyramid-shaped buildings on the back side of the moon.
Instead of focusing on the moon, I ignored it and looked deeper into space, and in a few moments every planet in the entire solar system passed by my eyes, and I found that the solar system was centered on the sun and a collection of all celestial bodies constrained by the gravitational pull of the sun. It includes nine planets, in descending order from closest to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and at least 173 known moons, five identified dwarf planets, and hundreds of millions of small bodies in the solar system.
When the light was focused outside the whole solar system, I found an interesting phenomenon, standing in the Milky Way and looking at the solar system, it is like a spherical cell, with an outer shell, and most of this cell is a vacuum, and there are 9 planets and the nucleus of the sun in the vacuum. And the vacuum is a substance like water, which is the most material in this cell, and without the solar system, there is no vacuum.
Now I am observing the angle and position, which is unimaginable and incomprehensible to people on earth, I have discovered the fact that the space that people know is the outermost and most superficial layer of the universe. It's like looking at an egg, you can only see the shell of the egg, you can't see what it looks like inside. Now I seem to be standing on a high place, looking at everything below, at a glance, from the inside to the outside, all over, the distance between the nine planets is like a very short distance.
The truth I see now can be said to be a shock and shock to a person like me, because the universe that people see when they cultivate is completely different from what human beings imagine. There is no such thing as a vast space, and many stars are moving like this.
It's kind of like one-way glass, where the person on the glass side can see you, but you can only see the glass. The molecular space is this one-way glass, and with this body, we can only know everything about this molecular space through the eyes, ears, and touch of the body.
People think that this physical body is real, but the world seen through it is illusory and unreal, and some people will not believe it, because it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The solar system is like a blister in the Milky Way, and at a high level, it is not empty at all, because the vacuum is matter.
And the same is true of the Milky Way, looking at the Milky Way from outside the Milky Way, it is like a plate, and it is also a plate with a complete shell, and this plate is not incomparably empty as people think, and the emptiness between its galaxies and galaxies is also matter.
My eyes are now standing on the outermost part of the Milky Way, the entire Milky Way has a panoramic view, the Milky Way is constantly rotating at a central point, in the process of my observation, I also found a phenomenon, that is, I feel that the rotation speed of the Milky Way is constantly getting faster, this faster speed is not felt by people on the earth, when standing on the periphery of the Milky Way, you can clearly observe, this is an interesting phenomenon.
Now what I am observing is only a spatial scene, when I increase my power input, and gradually open my wisdom and eye power, as I observe further, I find that the Milky Way is an incomparably vast and real prosperous world, with mountains, rivers, and countless lives. There is a towering mountain in the center of the Milky Way, I can't name this mountain, but from a distance, there are many peaks here, and it is incomparably huge, covering an area and vast, and there are many unit spaces on the mountain, each space has its own independent space and time, and it is incomparably vast and boundless.
This whole mountain, in the bottom layer I found is supported by a layer of air, this layer of air is also rotating, just like a wheel, let's call it "wind wheel", above this wind wheel is a layer of water, it is called "water wheel", on top of this layer of water wheel, is made of gold and hard stone, it is called "golden wheel", above this golden wheel, is the earth composed of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, etc., and this high mountain is in the center of this earth.
When I wanted to continue to observe deeply with the Heavenly Eye, I felt a feeling of dizziness in my head, and I knew that the power output this time was a bit huge, so I somewhat regretfully withdrew my Wisdom Eye Ability, so I had to turn on my Heavenly Eye Eye Skill again, reducing the frequency of my power output.
When in this space, due to the acceleration of the entire galaxy, our solar system is constantly rushing forward, I don't know when this speed will be a pole, in this ever-increasing extreme speed, the result may be the disintegration of the galaxy, but the result of this final disintegration may be a long process, I can't see what the final truth is, because this universe is too huge, a small galaxy in the whole universe is really insignificant.
In fact, if you stand in space and look at the universe, you will find that it is not like the sky you see on the earth at all, it is not starry at all, but the surrounding darkness, some people may ask if the stars in the sky are gone? The answer, of course, is not that it is missing, but that I have discovered that the earth's atmosphere has a miraculous function, when cosmic rays hit the earth, the atmosphere will act like eyes and glasses, allowing people to stand on the earth and see some scenes of space.
But, on the other hand, is the space scene seen by man real? Is it really what you see through a telescope? Through my further observation, I found that the existence of this atmosphere has its special functions, among them, the biggest function is "deception", this "deception" allows people to only see what the human eye sees, can only believe what the human eye observes, this atmosphere hides the reality of the universe, so that people see more like an image.
As I observed, I was thinking about the question, why is there only an atmosphere on the Earth, and why are there no atmospheres on other planets? Why is it that only human beings on the earth cannot see the truth and truth of things with their eyes, and people can only see the surface of matter with their naked eyes, but they cannot see the essence of matter. It's like a table there, people can only see this table, but the real situation is that the whole table is made up of molecules, and the molecules are constantly moving between them, and in fact the table is wriggling, and these users can't see it with the naked eye.
Due to the limitations of my own skills, at the same time, switching back and forth between the Heavenly Divine Eye and the Wisdom Divine Vision, it has also reached the limit of my skill output, so I had to retract my gaze.
Inside the room, I opened my eyes and looked out the window, and found that some of the stars that I could often see when I was a child, such as the North Star and the Big Dipper, were no longer visible in the originally clear sky, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
In order to understand this mystery in my happiness, I took a break and prepared to open my heavenly eye again, I wanted to find out the truth of this matter.
So, I meditated and crossed my head on the bed, with my heart facing the sky, and began to quickly recover the energy I had lost according to the practice route, and after a short time, the power was partially restored, and I couldn't wait to open my Heavenly Eye Magic again.
I observed, how can I not see the North Star in the local area? Can't see the Big Dipper? I can't see this star, I can't see that star, in fact, the truth is not that these stars have disappeared, if these stars are missing, the scientific community would have turned the sky upside down.
Because the earth where we are now, due to the development of modern industrial revolution and the continuous improvement of science and technology, the atmospheric environmental pollution and light pollution of our earth are becoming more and more serious, and many stars are not easy to observe with the naked eye, but it has not disappeared.
However, I discovered another phenomenon through the observation of the Celestial Vision, something unusual is indeed happening in this universe, and many galaxies in the universe are quietly disappearing. The explanation of modern scientists is that the universe is exploding, causing our galaxy to be detached from this universe.
Scientists are justified in their fears, as they have found that the solar system is accelerating and time is accelerating, escaping the Big Bang, which is indirectly responsible for the acceleration of the Milky Way.
There are some things that I can't explain at my level, I can only observe them quietly, and as for how to develop in the future, I can only leave it to time to decide.
In fact, human beings are really small, so small that they have closed themselves, so small that they are not willing to admit their insignificance, people can't see the outside world, and at the same time, under the influence of people's own concepts, people are not willing to change their inherent cognition, when telling some truths, people are not willing to believe, unwilling to admit the real existence.
I found that human beings are on the very surface, the outermost and the most central part of this space, just like the Three Realms is like a big prison, and all life in it is locked up in it, especially human beings, who are locked up in the outermost space, so the inner and real scenes are not visible.
At this time, I stopped the output of my power, and at the same time released my Celestial Eye Vision, because I found that it was pointless to continue to observe. I completely immersed my body and mind in meditation and began to recover the energy I had lost by observing with my heavenly eyes.
The time of cultivation always passed quickly, and I didn't know how long it had been in a state of cultivation, and I was really in a state of trance.
At this time, I heard my mother's voice calling me outside the door, and then I woke up from the state of cultivation, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my father and I carried a large combination of fireworks, came downstairs to set up, with a rapid hissing, "bang", the fireworks cannon in the night drew a beautiful arc and exploded, bursting out a dazzling spark, a bright Christmas tree miraculously appeared.
Immediately after that, strings of fireworks burst into the sky, blooming like flowers, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were day. The beautiful fireworks attracted the children in the neighborhood as well. They were all happy, ignoring the worries and reprimands of the adults, and carried small lanterns everywhere to make noise.
Outside became a world of fireworks. Outside the window is simply a fire tree and silver flowers, which is extraordinarily gorgeous. Look at how beautiful the fireworks are! Some are like "fairy scattered flowers", some are like "red lanterns", some are like "the sky is full of stars", and some are like "dragons flying and phoenixes dancing...... How much like a "hanging garden"! These fireworks are dizzying and decorate the sky.
When people were excitedly watching this fireworks show, I found through the observation of the eye of the sky that people's happiness is actually justified, and the source of the joy in people's hearts comes from a deeper feeling, although people don't know where this feeling comes from.
However, through my further observation, I found that when the firecracker exploded, there were many bacteria, fungi, viruses in the air that people could not find were instantly disintegrated by the firecracker, and the sulfur in the gunpowder in the firecracker also played a purifying role in some bad factors and substances in the air.
I looked and saw that in the distance between the buildings, four people had walked into an open field, and they had put the fireworks in their hands in different places.
At this time, something interesting happened, because I had been turning on the Sky Vision function at this time, and I was observing the scene when the fireworks exploded in the sky.
At this time, there was a group of spiritual beings, about fifty or sixty of them, curiously gathered over, they gathered in the air, looking intently at boxes of fireworks, wanting to see what it was, just when they saw the word "fireworks", among them, two of them lit the fireworks on the ground, and suddenly, most of the spiritual beings who did not have time to dodge in a hurry were blown to pieces, their faces showed a very painful look, crying, the scene looked very miserable. The spirits who were lucky enough to avoid next to them also cried when they saw their companions being blown apart, and quickly ran away......
I was also a little surprised to see such a scene, I didn't expect this firework to have such a great power, it can disintegrate some people with a spirit body that is invisible to the naked eye, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients is in some ways incomparable to modern people.
The ancients believed that the harsh sound of firecrackers could play a role in driving away ghosts and evil spirits. I used the fateful function of Tianmu to observe the production of ancient firecrackers, and found that the firecrackers at that time were not made of gunpowder, but put "bamboo" into the fire to burn, so that it naturally made the sound of crackling firecrackers, which is the origin of firecrackers.
However, since the invention of gunpowder, people have gradually replaced the tradition of burning bamboo, and instead used gunpowder to make firecrackers, believing that the louder and more powerful, the better the effect.
The gunpowder produced by modern people is much more powerful than in the past, but the ingredients in it are very different, so it will cause some environmental pollution, but the effect is the same as that of ancient times.
Through these observations, I have gained more admiration for the wisdom of the ancient sages of the Chinese nation, and I have also become more deeply aware of the breadth and profundity of Chinese civilization.
In the evening, I went back to my room to do my daily homework, remembering the feeling of compassion in the morning, and soon I was in the middle of concentration. However, this time I saw a peculiar scene.
At dusk, a temple was quiet, the incense burner was filled with smoke, and the monks were eating dinner. A man quietly slipped into the temple and came to the front of the merit box.
During the day, this man came once, and he saw a lot of people putting money in the merit box. So, he had the idea of stealing the money from the merit box.
Now, seeing that there was no one around, the man put the merit box down, poured money out of it, and kept stuffing it into his pocket.
In a meditation room, the little monk and the master had a clear view. The little monk said, "Master, someone is stealing money!" Master said, "I know." The little monk said, "Let's go and catch him...... and the master said, "No." The little monk was a little anxious and said, "Master, why? He stole our money, he's a thief! The Master said, "He's not a thief, that's not our money......" "Then why isn't it our money?" The little monk stared at the master and said.
Master said, "That's the money that people put in, and now someone needs it, take it out, how can it be considered stealing?" The little monk was silent when he heard this, and he watched as the man took the money from the merit box.
The little monk came to the front of the cash box, he looked inside and said, "Master, there is still money in it!" The Master nodded and said, "He just took the part he needed." If he was a thief, would he still keep the money inside? The little monk nodded.
Unexpectedly, at dusk the next day, the man slipped into the temple again while everyone was having dinner, and he came to the merit box, saw that there was no one around, and put the merit box down to withdraw the money.
This time, the little monk and the master still saw it clearly. When the little monk saw this, he said, "Master, he is a thief, and he has stolen our money again!" The Master said, "People give money, people take money, people spend money, what is stealing?" Yesterday he took some of it, because it wasn't enough, why not take some of it? The little monk was very angry, but he didn't dare to have a seizure, so he had to watch the man take the money from the merit box.
As soon as the man left, the little monk ran to the front of the merit box, he looked inside, found that there was still money inside, and thought that this man was not too bad after all. After that, the man never came to the temple again.
A year later, the man stepped into the temple again. When the men came, it was not dusk, but morning. The man entered the main hall, worshiped the Buddha, and came to the front of the merit box, he opened his purse, took out a thick wad of money and stuffed it into the merit box. The people next to him opened their mouths wide, looked at this man, and said in their hearts that this person was too generous.
When the little monk saw this scene, he couldn't help but step forward and ask the man why he was so generous. The man mentioned what happened a year ago, he said that he was desperate at that time, and he was in great need of money, and when he saw the money in the merit box, he had a bad idea, and the money in the merit box made him desperate, and now that his life is better, he will come to pay it back.
The little monk told Master about this, and Master said, "When everyone is in trouble, as long as we give others a way out, they will be able to get out of the predicament, and in the end, we will also get double the reward." Merit box, that's people's merit box, and it's also our merit box! ”
Later, the news spread, and the abbot of the temple specially placed a merit box at the entrance of the temple, and the little monk was specially responsible for managing this merit box. Every day, the little monk would fill the merit box with money for those in need to come and withdraw it.
The merit box for putting money became less early the next morning, but after a few months, there was no longer any need for the little monk to fill the merit box with money, and every morning, the merit box was full of money, and the little monk had to take out a lot of money, otherwise, it would not fit inside. Some people have doubled the money in it, and some people have donated it. Those who double their givings want to be grateful, and those who donate want to do good to help others.
A merit box, while helping thousands of people, has also been rewarded by thousands of people. I watched all this in front of me in my middle of time, and the tears were slowly flowing down at some point, and I suddenly realized that this was the power of compassion, the truth of compassion.
