597, Tianlong Babu

"Wu Jing! Lao Wei knows that you are the 'Flying Dragon' at the head of the 'Six Heroes of Shudong'. You must want to avenge the world's martial arts. Therefore, Lao Qu wants to hand over to you the Shaolin Four King Kongs, the Eight Wonders, the Nineteen Roads and the Eight Hundred Arhats, and you can lead these monks to fulfill your vows. ”

"Thank you, old abbot. can eradicate the evil of the rivers and lakes for the world's martial arts, Wu Jing is to go to the soup and break his bones, and he will not hesitate to do anything! ”

"Good (Zai)! Slaughter these evils well, and you will get great good! Lao Wei knows how you behave, and I believe that you will be able to complete the grand cause, eliminate violence and peace for the world's martial arts, and punish the culprit of this martial arts catastrophe. Acting for the heavens, eliminating violence and peace, and cultivating true insight and debut into the Buddha. ”

"That being the case, when will the old abbot allow Wu Jing to lead the monks to find the culprit?"

"Amitabha! Wu Jing! You don't have to think about this now, the important thing now is that you enter my Shaolin and practice meditation facing the wall. Otherwise, how could the old man choose you to be my heir? ”

"Meditation facing the wall? How long will that take? ”

"It depends on your cultivation. A few years at most, a few days and a few moments at the fastest. However, the old man will not let you be bored all day long in the practice of meditation facing the wall, and you must also lead the monks to practice martial arts and strengthen your body in a timely manner, in order to fight the enemy together! ”

"Wu Jing understands! Everything but listen to the old abbot according to the arrangement. ”

"Good (loaded)! Until one day, when you have attained enlightenment and attained positive results, and you see meditation as one of the great joys of life, you will be able to become a Buddha and fulfill your long-cherished wishes. ”

"But I don't know how I can realize the spiritual light and achieve the right result?"

"Listen to what the old man says!"

"What do you say?"

"Dharma!"

"Buddhism is boundless, like a sea of suffering, enlightenment is unbearable, it is better to turn back to the shore."

"Amitabha! If you want to be a disciple of the Three Jewels of the Buddha, you must teach the Dharma and receive the ordination. All the Dharma, the teachings and the teachings of the Buddha must be understood one by one. Otherwise, it will be difficult to enter the Buddhist gate. ”

"Wu Jing can't, just listen to the Fa."

"The law itself cannot be used, and if it cannot be done, there is the law. I have no self, and I have me without me. Taking the impossible as the dharma, the non-self as the self-being, the infinite as the finite, and the non-doing and doing everything is the highest state of Buddhism and martial arts. ”

"How can I be selfless?"

"Buddhism, selflessness, selflessness, self-denial, self-denial, do not bother others in life. Buddhism requires those who study Buddhism to 'admit their own mistakes and not judge others'. He is not me, and he has the same name as Great Compassion. 'Be good at forbearance. People in the world are busy and busy, running around, nothing more than for me, and they often see profit and forgetfulness, harming others and benefiting themselves. If you want to learn the Dharma, you must know the Dharma, practice the Dharma, eat the Dharma, wear the Dharma, sleep in the Dharma, walk, live, sit and lie in the Dharma. Those who know the Dharma must break the 'self' in order to truly understand the Dharma and thus attain the supreme state of lawlessness. To achieve selflessness, you can know by listening to me. He said: 'If you are optimistic about everything, your temper will melt, and as long as your heart is calm, patience is a treasure.' I often find fault with others, and I find trouble by myself, the Dharma is immeasurable, and there is no way to complain about it'. ”

"Listening to the abbot's words, Wu Jingmao suddenly opened."

"Zenzai (Zhai)! In order to attain the state of lawlessness and selflessness, we must not only begin with the understanding of the Dharma, but also understand and experience the Dharma, the Buddha's principles, the Buddha's teachings and cultivation exercises, as well as the knowledge of ordination, ordination, Buddhist rituals, and Buddhist affairs. ”

"Abbot! Wu Jing believes that the principles and righteousness of the Buddha are contained in the Dharma, so knowing the law can know the reason and the righteousness; As for the cultivation exercises, they are nothing more than wall-facing meditation, four meditations and eight concentrations, five eyes and six passes, Tibetan secret exercises, Guanyin mantras and supernatural magic powers-supernatural powers, etc., many of which have already been talked about by you and me, so there is no need to talk about them in detail! ”

"Amitabha! Wu Jing's words are wrong! Knowing everything, saying everything purely. The Dharma is the Dharma, the Buddha is the Buddha's principle, and the Buddha's righteousness is the Buddha's righteousness. If you don't deeply understand the Buddha, Buddha, Bodhisattva, ghosts, souls, three souls and seven spirits, all sentient beings, the vast world, the eighteen layers of Brahma, the Western Elysium and the Calamity, Hell, the Six Realms of Reincarnation, karma, reincarnation, and the Buddha's teachings such as the true meaning of life, the four emptiness, and the purification of all sentient beings, how can you swim alone in the ocean of Buddhism? Presumably, if you are not familiar with these, you will not be able to enter the Buddha's door, the Dharma will be difficult to pass, and there is no hope of reaching the highest state of lawlessness, lawlessness and selflessness. ”

"What the abbot said is true! Wu Jing dared to ask, what is Buddha? ”

"What is a Buddha! Shakyamuni was. ”

"What is a Buddha?"

"A Buddha is a Buddha!"

"What is a Buddha or a Buddha?"

"The Buddha is me, and I am the Buddha. Buddha is a human being, and human being is a god. Everyone is a Buddha, and a Buddha is everyone. ”

"What is a bodhisattva?"

"Bodhisattva, that is, being conscious and sentient."

"What does it mean to be sentient and sentient?"

"Bodhisattva is the transliteration of the Sanskrit word 'Bodhisattva', referred to as Bodhisattva. Bodhi is enlightenment, and Sa is affection, which is consciousness and affection. ”

"Conscious and affectionate, what does it mean to be human?"

"Being conscious and affectionate does not only refer to human beings, but to all beings with love and affection."

"In this way, bodhisattvas are conscious and sentient beings, so why do they call people who are willing to give and help the poor 'bodhisattva'?"

This is a popular saying. Bodhisattvas are conscious and sentient beings, able to realize the suffering of all sentient beings, sympathize with the suffering of all sentient beings, and then relieve the suffering of all sentient beings. ”

"The original meaning of bodhisattva refers to all living beings. Are the clay and wood carvings in the temple the land city god, cow ghosts, snake gods, considered bodhisattvas? ”

"Amitabha! They are clay sculptures and wood carvings, how can they feel emotional? What is a living being? What is a bodhisattva? ”

"What the abbot said is true! Some people who believe in Buddhism and superstition really misinterpret the true meaning of bodhisattva. ”

"The original meaning of the Bodhisattva is absolutely different from the folk concept. A bodhisattva is a person who, after believing in Buddhism and studying Buddhism, vows to save others by himself or even to save others. Therefore, all demons, demons, and land snake gods can never be called bodhisattvas. ”

"If so, what is a ghost? What is God? What is a soul? ”

"In folk beliefs, the soul and the ghost are a big and inseparable issue. According to Buddhism, ghosts are one of the six realms, just as humans are one of the six realms. Among the people, the belief in the existence of the soul is deep-rooted, and it is believed that the soul after death is a ghost. In fact, as a human being, there is life and death; As ghosts, there is also life and death. It's just that humans are viviparous, and ghosts are incarnated. However, according to the 'six realms of reincarnation', people are not necessarily born as ghosts after death. As for the soul, there are many folk legends, which often use the soul as a bridge between life and death, life is the reincarnation of the soul, and death is the soul leaving the body. And the spirit is born with birth, and dies with the death of the body. Therefore, there is a saying of 'three souls and seven spirits'.

However, Buddhism does not recognize this concept of the soul. This is because Buddhism advocates 'causal birth' and 'self-nature and emptiness', whether it is material or spiritual, it is the causal arising dharma. From the perspective of 'impermanence of life and death', everything is impermanent, and this is true of matter, and the same is true of spirit. All causes and conditions are born when they are aggregated, and when they are dispersed, they are destroyed, as large as a planet, a celestial body, and even the entire universe. As small as a stalk of grass, a grain of dust, and an atom, all exist under the pretense of the aggregation of internal causes and outer edges. Without the elements of cause and effect, nothing can exist. Therefore, Buddhism believes that fundamentally there is nothing in existence, that is, 'self-emptiness'. ”

"Abbot! In this way, Buddhism does not recognize the existence of ghosts and spirits at all. ”

"Wonderful! A true Buddhist can only worship the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and never worship ghosts and gods. However, Buddhism does not deny the existence of ghosts and gods, because ghosts and gods are also the two major streams of the six realms of reincarnation. Can you remember? ”

"Wu Jing knows his mistakes, and he has remembered them."

"Seonzae! Write it in your heart. The gods of Buddhism are often between heaven and ghosts, and the ghosts of great fortune are gods, and the servants of heaven are also gods. Ghosts have many rich ghosts, less rich ghosts, hungry ghosts, eliminated ghosts, and many rich and blessed ghosts, although they are in the ghost road, they also enjoy heavenly blessings. Most of the gods worshiped by the people are the ghosts of Daifu. There are gods, empty gods, and earth gods, or they are divided into heavenly gods, animal gods, and ghost gods. The gods of cows, ghosts, snakes, grass and trees, mountains, rivers and lands that are generally worshipped by the people are earth gods, animal gods, and ghost gods.

In the Buddhist scriptures, it is usually mentioned that there are eight ghosts and gods of the heavenly dragons, namely: the god of the gods, the god of the dragon, the god of the yakshas, the gods of the gods, These eight ghosts and gods have good gods and evil gods. Vientiane Divine Skills, including at least all these ghosts, gods and monsters!

Tenryu Babu is a Buddhist term, and Tenryu Babu is all 'non-human', including eight kinds of Shinto monsters, because 'Celestial Beings' and 'Dragons' are the most important, so they are called 'Tenryu Babu'. The eight divisions include: the One Dharma, the Two Naga, the Three Yakshas, the Four Gandharvas, the Five Asuras, the Six Garudas, the Seven Kinaras, and the Eight Maharajas. When many Mahayana sutras narrate the Buddha's teachings to the bodhisattvas and monks, the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon often participate in listening to the Dharma. The Lotus Sutra: Devadatta Pin clouds: 'The eight divisions of the heavenly dragons, human and non-human, all see the Buddha of the dragon from afar'. A 'non-human' is a being who looks like a human being, but is not actually a human being. ”

"Old abbot! What is a god? ”

"The heavens are too."

"What is a dragon god?"

"Dragons are too."

"Old abbot! What is Yaksha? ”

"Flying Ghosts."
