Chapter 337: The Three Ages of Fa-rectification, Like-Fa, and Ending
I told the old monk Mengzen that this evil organization is very powerful, and none of the sects of Buddhism can compete with it, and it is not that it is not lost.
Although I don't have a deep understanding of the Cult of the Evil God, my intuition tells me that this mysterious and evil organization must be very terrifying.
Not to mention anything else, their means of absorbing Innate Qi alone are not something that any sect can do.
Also, I say this for a motivating purpose.
"How is that possible?" The old monk Mengzen obviously didn't believe what I said, "Although it is the era of the end of the law, the Buddhist sect is not as prosperous as it was back then, but it is still a behemoth in China, and any evil sect organization must hold its tail and dare not confront our decent faction, what kind of evil sect are you talking about, and our Buddhism can't suppress him?" If I hadn't seen that you were also a Buddhist, I would have thought you were talking nonsense. ”
Seeing that the purpose of the radical general had been achieved, I pondered for a while and said, "Don't believe it, this evil organization is something I came into contact with three years ago, and..."
Immediately afterward, I told me everything I knew about the Cult of the Evil Gods, from three years ago to the recent hotel haunting incident, and the demon found in Xiaojia Village to mutilate the villagers.
Of course, I directly ignored the matter of meeting the ghost lady, she was a big secret that I unintentionally released, and I must not let him know, otherwise the secret will be known by the Xiao family, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
When the old monk Mengzen listened to my narration, he didn't think so at first, but when he learned that the demon could actually absorb the innate Qi in the soul, he couldn't hold his breath at all, and exclaimed, "Little friend, is this true?" That cult of evil gods actually has the means to absorb the innate qi, how is this possible? ”
"I don't need to lie to you about such a big matter, and I feel that they must be brewing a shocking conspiracy, which may pose a certain threat to Huaxia and even the world." I said solemnly.
"This, how can this be, Cult of the Evil God? What kind of organization is it? It's the first time I've heard it. The old monk Mengzen's eyelids were beating, "And they can also absorb the innate Qi, this, that is the origin of the universe, such as from sex, what method do they use to do it?" ”
"Either way, it's too serious." I took a deep breath and said gloomily, "The energy and magic of the Innate Qi are too huge, if they use them to do bad things..."
I didn't say anything about the next words, although I don't know the purpose of the Evil God Church to collect Innate Qi, but it will definitely not be a good deed.
"Absorbing the innate Qi, even our ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Dharma, can't do it." The old monk of Mengzen frowned and looked at me, "This matter is too important, I have to go back immediately to discuss this matter with my brothers and sisters, and after the abbot is out of the customs, if necessary, he must inform all the Buddhist sects in China that this evil god church must be found out to see what they are going to do!" ”
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, if there is a Buddhist sect intervening in this matter, it must be much easier to do, and most of them can investigate the details of that evil sect, and even destroy it.
"Little friend, I'll go first." As soon as the old monk Mengzen finished speaking, he turned around and looked at me suspiciously, "By the way, Xiaoyou, I don't know where your teacher is?" Can there be a conversion to Buddhism? ”
In the face of Meng Chan's questioning, I deliberately smiled awkwardly: "The family teacher is just a Buddhist dormitory, there is no door and no sect, and he has already sat down and ascended to heaven, so I don't want to join any sect if I don't mention it." ”
"Oh." The old monk Mengzen's expression darkened, "So that's the case, but your master should be an excellent person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to teach you such an excellent apprentice, Xiaoyou, I'll leave first, and you can come to the Zen Temple as a guest when you have time." ”
"That's what I mean, Master Mengzen, I'll send you... That's right. A question suddenly occurred to me, "Master Mengzen, what is the current state of Zen Buddhism now?" ”
"Hey." Mengzen stopped, sighed deeply, and said: "In the era of the end of the Dharma, demons were rampant, the number of practitioners decreased significantly, and there were fewer and fewer people who believed in Buddhism, and there were even people who slandered Buddhism and Buddhism.
When I heard this, I also sighed in my heart, although he didn't directly talk about the situation of Zen Buddhism, but I heard the helplessness and sadness in his words, which must have fallen much more than the Fa-rectification era.
The heyday of Buddhism is called the Dharma-Rectification Era, which is the era of Shakyamuni's teachings.
At that time, there were countless practitioners and people who believed in Buddhism, and the number of enlightened people was innumerable.
Most of these people's souls have departed from samsara after hearing, contemplating, cultivating, and sitting in the physical body, attaining the attainment of arhats and bodhisattvas, and attaining great freedom.
During the Dharma era, the Dharma was not destroyed and was well preserved, so people had the opportunity to understand the Dharma and practice the Dharma.
It can also be said that the era when there was a Buddha leading everyone to practice was called the Fa-rectification era.
But with the passage of time, after the Buddha and the contemporary eminent monks sat down, they entered the era of the image of the Dharma a thousand years later.
Due to the Buddha's absence, sentient beings did not have the opportunity to hear the Buddha's teachings, so they could only learn about the Dharma in the monastery and when they burned incense and worshiped the Buddha.
People in the days of the Dharma were already skeptical of the Dharma, and because there were no saints to teach them, they had no faith in their hearts.
However, at the end of that year, although Buddhism was in decline and the number of practitioners was decreasing, there were still some eminent monks who came out of nowhere to teach the Dharma to sentient beings and to benefit sentient beings.
However, in the last thousand years of the Dharma era, that is, in our time, it was difficult for people to have righteous thoughts about the Dharma, and even thought that Buddhism was just a simple belief and legend.
People don't believe in cause and effect, they don't believe in reincarnation, and they don't even believe that there are Buddhas in the world, and most people even sneer at people who burn incense and worship Buddhas, or treat practitioners as gods, let alone practice.
Even if some people want to practice, they will lose confidence and see no hope because they don't have the guidance of a famous teacher, and eventually the seeds of good thoughts in their hearts will be devoured by demons.
This was the saddest time when the Dharma was empty and struggling, and people were controlled by greed, ignorance, hatred, and other desires, and became puppets of desires.
Even if some people believe in Buddhism, they are seeking wealth and profit, in order to satisfy their greedy desires.
Moreover, if you fail to get your wish, you will slander the Dharma, which is pitiful and sad.
There are even some arrogant, self-righteous anti-feudal and superstitious anchors, in order to win attention and traffic, they can actually do something like a Buddha statue, and those rabble still applaud.
It's really sad and to talk about, this is a big dye vat of the five turbid evil worlds, it will be difficult for people to have a chance to become enlightened, everyone is suffering in the six realms of reincarnation, infinite reincarnation, and there will be no day to come out.
"Hey." I sighed deeply and felt great sorrow.
In the process of sending Master Mengzen to the door, I also mentioned the possibility of the opening of the barriers of the Hungry Ghost Dao and the Human Dao.
After all, the product of the demon comes from the Hungry Ghost Dao, but I feel that the barrier has not been completely opened.
But once there really is a day when all the powerful ghosts of the Hungry Ghost Dao appear in the Human Dao, it will be the end of the world.
When the old monk Mengzen heard this, his expression became even more serious, and he said that he had to hold a meeting to discuss the matter when he went back.
At this time, Xiao Yuanzhou's family also came out to escort him.
Before getting on Xiao Qilei's car, the old monk Mengzen looked back at me and said, "Little friend, although you and I meet in the water, I can perceive your correct knowledge and correct views, maybe you can carry forward the Dharma and become a Buddha who rescues suffering and hardship in the era of the end of the Dharma." ”
The old monk smiled kindly at me and got into the car, and at this moment, I could hallucinate and vaguely see a white light flickering behind his head.
But his extremely high opinion of me made me laugh and cry, although the ultimate goal of my cultivation from heaven and earth is to become a Buddha, but whether I can get to that point is still unknown.
However, the words of the old monk Mengzen made Xiao Yuanzhou and Luo Yuhuan around me look at me again, just like looking at a jewel.
"Huh." Xiao Yuanzhou looked at me kindly and smiled: "Master Mengzen has a high opinion of you, young man, I am also very optimistic about you." ”
"Grandpa Xiao, you have won the prize." I hurriedly said politely.
"Yes, that's good." Xiao Yuanzhou looked at me appreciatively, "Even some middle-aged people will mostly behave crampedly in front of me, young man, you can be neither humble nor arrogant, and talk generously, which really impresses me." ”
In fact, I am calm on the surface, but my heart is not calm, and in the face of this old man, there is always a sense of oppression in the face of the mountains.
I don't know his true identity yet, otherwise I might not be so calm.
Luo Yuhuan also praised me on the side, looking at me with very gentle eyes, I was embarrassed.
