Chapter 228: Emei Puxian White Elephant is stable, and there are many top secrets of Tibetan Tantra!
After seeing Lu Linglong and greeting for a while, even if Old Man Lu left, he had other things, and they had to leave tomorrow, so it was naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time.
After that, You Fang and the others had nothing to do, and they each practiced in the house until the morning of the next day.
"Master, the disciple is gone!"
"Goodbye, Elder Zhang!"
After eating breakfast and saying goodbye to the old Taoist, everyone went all the way down the mountain and embarked on the journey again.
At this time, Tang Yingjie and Hong Bin, who also said goodbye to themselves in the door and at home, were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, and everyone converged together, and then walked in the direction of Mount Emei.
Speaking of this Mount Emei, it is also quite a source, in addition to being a tourist attraction, it is also a famous Buddhist holy place, and it is the dojo of the legendary "Fuxian Bodhisattva".
And everyone traveled all the way, and there was only one place left in the dojo of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, and when they visited Mount Emei, most of the important places of Buddhism in China were visited.
Mount Emei is not far from Chengdu, with the footsteps of everyone, it will be more than a day and less than two days to finish, to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at this majestic mountain and the Buddhist aura emanating from it, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then raised their feet up.
Like those previous sects, the monks on Mount Emei have been informed of the arrival of the group, and they have long been ready to greet them, and as soon as the group arrived, they welcomed them into the temple.
After all, everyone had already intersected with the Master of Liberating the Sky before, and You Fang even had an agreement with him, and whatever the Master of Solving the Void said was to open more convenient doors for them, this has already been explained.
With the explanation of the master of the liberation in front, the trip was naturally smooth, and soon, everyone sat down in one place and began to communicate, starting a collision of two different positions of Buddhism and Taoism.
On the side of the tour party, it is naturally the main discussion between the tour party and Fu Chen, and the rest of the people occasionally interject some words according to their own understanding, and the Emei Mountain Wannian Temple is where all the monks are there, and everyone can publish it.
And with Songshan Shaolin Temple, and Lingyin Temple, this Emeishan Wannian Temple belongs to the "Mahayana Zen Buddhism", in which the concept is the same, pay attention to "meditation and meditation", the wisdom of the monks is naturally not bad, and there are many Zen philosophies.
As far as You Fang and his entourage are concerned, there are really a lot of "Zen" disciples who have been in contact with them along the way, and they know their paths very well, and they are very familiar with each other.
After a day of verbal warfare, everyone also felt very happy, and the understanding of the concept of "Zen Buddhism" by You Fang and his entourage went one step further, and the monks of Wannian Temple also gained and their wisdom grew.
After the fast, everyone rested, digested what they had gained from the day, and waited for the next day to come.
According to the custom, the second day is the day of the competition, and after breakfast, everyone came to the practice ground again and began to fight with the monks.
And because they have been to Shaolin Temple before, everyone is already familiar with the exercises and tricks of the monks, and this time the battle is to learn from the old and find more ways to deal with and crack.
It is worth mentioning that You Fang's first battle, in this battle, he has not opened the "Reverse Life Triple" from beginning to end, and all he relies on is his own tempered life, as well as the trick cheats obtained from the master of the void.
Throughout the competition, he was completely fighting with his opponent with the moves of Shaolin Zen Buddhism, which also surprised the monks, and his move was also to temper, while refining the moves, his life and perception could also be improved.
After a few discussions, everyone's trip was about to come to an end, but You Fang was not in a hurry, but sat down again and communicated with the abbot of Wannian Temple.
The content of this exchange is different from yesterday, it is no longer the competition between the Buddha and the Tao, in order to have more understanding here, there is only one theme around the whole process, that is, "Puxian Bodhisattva"!
For a long time, the Bodhisattva has been known for its "asceticism", and at the same time, in the legend, its own condensed wish power is also quite strong, and its famous "ten vows" are the first scriptures that all Buddhists should be familiar with.
The so-called "Ten Wishes", also known as the "Ten Wishes", are "Respecting the Buddhas", "Praising the Buddhas", "Cultivating and Offering Extensively", "Confessing Karma", "Rejoicing in Merit", "Please Turn the Wheel of Dharma", "Invite the Buddha to Live in the World", "Always Follow the Teachings", "Constant Shun to All Sentient Beings" and "Universal Dedication".
It can be seen from this that the sincerity and sincerity of the Bodhisattva when he practiced, regardless of whether it really existed or not, his deeds are an absolute example in terms of practice, and he can be seriously enlightened.
In this regard, Master Li Shutong of Hongyi also wrote a special sentence: "I wish to be a true and wonderful deed, and always be happy to benefit all sentient beings." ”
In order to express the wish of Fuxian.
In addition to these "Ten Wishes", Fuxian Bodhisattva also has the famous "Ten Forbearances", which are "Sound Forbearance", "Shun Forbearance", "Lifeless Forbearance", "Illusory Forbearance", "Ruyan Forbearance", "Rumeng Forbearance", "Ruxiang Forbearance", "Ruying Forbearance", "Ruhua Renren" and "Empty Forbearance".
This "Ten Forbearances" is also the confirmation of the Bodhisattva's asceticism, and it can also show that his perseverance is firm and his cultivation heart is strong, and he should be a model for cultivators in the world.
……
……
In this way, You Fang has been chatting with the abbot for a long time, until the legend of Fuxian Bodhisattva has been thoroughly discussed, and he bowed and stood up straight.
Subsequently, he walked to the top of Mount Emei, looked up at the phantom of the Bodhisattva condensed by the power of the will, and the thoughts appeared frequently, and the "mountain and sea scroll" and "painting demon brush" were also held at the fingertips.
After that, You Fang's pen walked the dragon and snake, and a new picture scroll was painted.
I saw that on this picture scroll, the blank space was all blackened, and in the middle was a calm and heavy white elephant, which was the legendary mount of the Bodhisattva - "six-tusked white elephant"!
The white elephant has six tusks, which correspond to the Mahayana Bodhisattva's "six degrees of prajna", that is, the six methods of "generosity", "vows", "patience", "diligence", "meditation", and "wisdom".
And the "elephant" animal itself is a sacred beast in Buddhism, just like the metaphor in Buddhism people use the word "dragon elephant", with this "six-tusked white elephant" as a mount, it can highlight the stability of the practice of the Bodhisattva, and the implication is not deep.
And got this new picture, You Fang's trip to Mount Emei also came to an end, he put away the picture scroll and returned to Wannian Temple, beckoned to everyone, and then traveled again.
After saying goodbye to the abbot monks, they quickly descended the mountain and immediately followed the planned route and embarked on the "Sichuan-Tibet Route" to XZ.
……
……
In this way, the tour party walked and stopped on the Sichuan-Tibet line, day and night, without hurrying or being lazy, and it took about ten days to finally come to the Potala Palace on Maburi Mountain in the northwest of LS.
As XZ's most famous, the world's largest and best-preserved Tibetan Buddhist temple, the tantric lineage is naturally incomparably intact, and nothing is missing.
In fact, in the past, Tantra was divided into two types: "Tibetan Tantra" and "Han Tantra", but today, "Han Tantra" has almost disappeared, and only "Tibetan Tantra" remains.
The reason for this is that due to the destruction of Buddha by Tang Wuzong during the Tang Dynasty and the chaos of the Five Dynasties, the original "Han Tantra" gradually declined, and then it was transferred to the "Zen" and "Jing" doors, and with the deepening of the influence of the two sects, its true inheritance gradually disappeared.
However, apart from some details, there is not much difference between "Tibetan Tantra" and "Han Tantra", and their essence is the same, and the scriptures practiced are mainly based on the "Great Nikjing" and "Vajra Sutra".
Based on these two scriptures, he created the method of "Three Tantric Yoga", which he practiced every day, observed and practiced things, and practiced the secret method of the supreme Buddha-figure.
In the opinion of You Fang, in terms of this practice and means alone, this tantric practice is actually somewhat similar to the original Indian Buddhist practice, especially this "yoga method", although I have never seen it, but I have heard of it.
In addition, they had passed through many temples during their previous travels, and the remaining seven of the eight major sects had basically seen it, but the skills of this tantric sect had not yet been seen, and they couldn't help but have some expectations.
I have to say that as a prestigious tourist attraction in XZ territory, there are really quite a lot of tourists in this Potala Palace, and there are countless people who have been baptized by Internet articles and come to claim to be "pilgrims".
Before entering the real "interior", they also simply visited here, and were attracted by the exquisite murals, paintings, sculptures, thangkas, etc., and couldn't help but linger in it.
As a Han Chinese and living in the city for a long time, everyone has to admit that the feeling of this XZ and this Potala Palace is indeed quite different.
You Fang is okay, after all, he has already visited and experienced it in his previous life, while the others are sighing again and again, feeling the word "net".
In this way, the whole morning was spent in the course of the tour, and after enjoying an authentic Tibetan meal at noon, the group finally found the alien lamas hidden in the depths of the Potala Palace.
For their arrival, the lamas naturally welcomed them, and immediately took them to find the abbot, and the influence of Master Jiekong was also counted in this XZ, and the exchange and exchange were quickly decided.
After some exchanges, everyone also understood the special features of this "Tantra", and the word "Tantra" in the name of "Tantra" is the focus, which means "secret".
This sect is based on the secret of the tantric teachings of the sect, and it is not allowed to be practiced and displayed to others without empowerment or teaching, and this alone is completely different from the other seven sects.
This is also the reason why only one of them is called "Tantra" and the other seven are called "Sutras".
Of course, it is said to be top secret, but this tantra is not a "closed country", especially the cultivators in it, in order to improve their own bodies, they often communicate with outsiders from the outside world.
However, the scope of this exchange is relatively narrow compared to other sects, and some of them are hidden, but because of their special methods, the outside world has gradually accepted them over time.
And You Fang and his entourage came this time, and they were also reminded in advance by the abbot that it was okay to communicate and learn, but they could not show everything, and I hope they can understand.
In this regard, the group naturally won't say much, each door has its own rules, so that the people of the Tang Sect have nothing to do to perform Dan devouring for others, it is naturally impossible.
In addition to the word "Tantra", Tantra also has a characteristic that they do not worship all Buddhas, but each person chooses one of their most respected and respected Buddhas, a Bodhisattva or a Ming King as the object or example of learning and achievement.
And this is the so-called "Buddha-figure Virujana Buddha", that is, "the Great Day Nyorai", which is the "Buddha-figure practice secret method", and its essence is because Tantra believes that all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Tantra come from the "Great Day Nyorai".
……
……
In this way, after some exchanges, despite all kinds of restrictions, everyone still has their own gains, especially Xia Mingyu, who is quite interested in the "Great Day Rulai", and feels that this seems to be similar to the principle of "willingness".
After the exchange, everyone followed the arrangement of the lamas to eat and rest, the Tibetans are heroic and simple, even the lamas who practice are like this, so they are quite enthusiastic and very well arranged, for fear of not taking care of them properly.
On the second day, the promised exchange also took place, but also because of the "secret" of this "tantra", all the lamas did not exert their strength, but they were not too happy.
Rao is like this, and everyone has still seen their "yoga technique", huh...... At least I saw the soft muscles and bones they had developed by practicing the "art of yoga", and it was really strange and unpredictable to use it in battle.
However, it is also because the core and most fundamental things have not been revealed, and You Fang's lack of understanding of this trip is not enough to make a painting, which is a pity for him.
But he didn't bother with it, after all, he came out to travel for a "knowledge", not to collect and comprehend how many paintings, and the two must not be reversed, otherwise he would be cocooned and self-bound.
And Hong Bin and the others all have the same idea, in addition to their original purpose, they came out to travel for the word "knowledge", they have seen various stunts, and they have seen the world, so that their horizons can be broadened, and the road of cultivation can be broadened.
Therefore, no one complained, everyone seemed very satisfied, even Chen Duo, who didn't understand anything, also felt that the food in this snow area was quite unique.
In this way, after the discussion, everyone set off again, gradually leaving XZ all the way and heading towards XJ.
In You Fang's plan, the XJ's "King Kong Gate", that is, the "Shaolin of the Western Regions", is also worth visiting, and the original "Arm King Kong" also impressed him......
