Chapter 013: Spiritual Root and Wisdom Root, the Difference Between Immortals and Buddhas
The false boatman, strong and strong, profound, kind and kind-eyed, enthusiastic and bold, can cross the river with three taels of silver.
The real boatman, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, vulgar language, vicious face, sitting on the ground and starting the price, 1,000 per person, I can't love it.
Although it is said that it is one thousand per person, but it is the turn of Fahai and the abbot, and the boatman said that the two of you have to pay three thousand taels of silver!
Fahai said why, the boatman said that there is nothing wrong with one or two to get three! One person has nothing wrong with a thousand thousand, but two people have to get three thousand taels, and he proudly said that this is the ability of accounting taught to him by a storyteller in his family, and there is absolutely no mistake.
For this behavior of sitting on the ground and raising the price, Fahai really wants to give him a transcendence, so that he can know that my Buddha is compassionate.
But Fahai quickly considered that he had overtaken him and had to row himself, but Fahai gave up this idea.
Sitting on the boat, I suddenly missed the evil Jiao boatman on the Jinlong River, if the master did not overtake the evil dragon at that time, maybe he could balance the market phenomenon of the boatman's business of sitting on the ground and starting from the ground, and the bad competition.
The night is deep, the boat sails down the river, in the words of the boatman, no accident, one day and two nights are enough.
Although the boatman has a dark heart, his ship has to be said to be very large, with two floors, five zhang long, and there are seven or eight cabin-type compartments on the ship, and there are not many people on the ship this time, almost everyone is divided into a cabin.
In a small chamber no more than five feet tall and six feet long and six feet wide, Fahai sat on a futon, looking at the black river, the water was turbulent, and the moonlight reflected a faint image on the river, which couldn't help but make Fahai think of a poem.
The bright moonlight in front of the ship, suspected to be frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon - alas!
Wait!
As soon as Fahai looked up, he saw a real "bright moon", a head of the clangling bright hall, the abbot!
Fahai hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Abbot, aren't you sleeping?"
The abbot sat opposite Fahai and glanced at the river under the boat, "Homesick?"
Fahai shrugged his shoulders, "What do you want! I'm an alternative at home, my father doesn't hurt, my mother doesn't love it, there's nothing to think about." ”
The abbot said, "Amitabha, the higher the wisdom root, the deeper the obsession, the more difficult it is to understand the two words, but then again, if the attachment is not deep, how can the wisdom root of a person be high? ”
Fahai clasped his hands together, "Fahai has been taught." ”
The abbot raised his hand, put the four treasures of the study in front of Fahai, and then said, "I'll read a few words, and you can write them." ”
Fahai picked up the brush, laid the rice paper flat, and the moonlight shone into the chamber and shone on the abbot's cheek.
The abbot said, "Walker." ”
Fahai wrote two regular script handwriting on rice paper - Xingzhi.
The abbot read, "Fahai, what is a doer?"
Fahai looked at the walker, "The one who walks?"
The abbot shook his head, "That's not right. ”
Fahai pondered for a moment, and then said, "Cultivator!"
"Clever!" the abbot said with a smile, "Walker, as the name suggests, an empty door cultivator, although the realm of my Buddhist cultivation and Xuanmen cultivation is similar, but in the end, there is a world of difference. ”
Fahai heard the abbot talk about the cultivation of the is, and suddenly came to the spirit, Fahai still has little understanding of the cultivation of immortals in Xuanmen, after all, in his previous life, he saw so many Jindan Yuan Infant Transformation Gods, and he also knew that the cultivation of immortals came and went back and forth on the nine great realms, but Buddhism, this is the first time that the eldest girl sits in a sedan chair.
The abbot stroked his white beard and said leisurely, "Let's talk about the practice principle of Xuanmen and Buddhism! Xuanmen practice is about a person who is pampered, nurtured, and cultivates spiritual roots. The spiritual root is the most important foundation of the Xuanmen, and the spiritual root is actually just a synonym for the soul, and the quality of the spiritual root is just a representation of the strength of the soul, such as the heavenly spirit root, the immortal seedlings of the heavenly spirit root can never be forgotten when born, and under the high intensity of the soul, he can see a hair ten miles away!"
Fahai was stunned, "Is it so exaggerated? He was born and could see a hair ten miles away?"
The abbot and Su Dao, "Do you think that Tianlinggen is a cabbage from the rotten street?" The soul insight and perception ability of the heavenly spiritual root is far beyond the imagination of mortals, and the Xuanmen is to give full play to the strengths of this spiritual root, they take the spiritual root, that is, the soul is the main, the body is the servant, so as to lead the body with the soul, the immortal prescription, the achievement of the immortal road, the real threshold of the immortal gate is in the Yuan infant level, only to the Yuan infant level, in order to really Yang Soul out of the body, in order to be out of the body, at this time, Xuanmen can be worthy of being called Xiu Xian, and those Xianmen monks under the Yuan Infant are all mortals. ”
Hearing this, Fahai nodded and said, "What about our Buddhism?"
The abbot said with a smile, "Buddhism and Xuanmen are just the opposite, Xuanmen emphasizes cultivating the spiritual root of divine consciousness, giving up the physical body, and finally enjoying the world, immortal and immortal." Buddhism takes the body as the mainstay, takes the soul as the servant, and uses the soul to supplement the body, creating boundless Buddhism. ”
"The last thing Buddhism looks at is the strength of the soul, that is, the spiritual root in your mouth! People with strong spiritual roots are generally the sons of Tianjiao, they have the blessing of luck, they are the noble sons of heaven and earth, they will not suffer hardships, and there will not be too many calamities. ”
"And those who have weaker wisdom roots, because they are stupid by nature before many calamities, they are either extremely perseverant or extremely wise, and they rely on mortal bodies to forcibly survive, and such people understand the Buddha's principles and principles very quickly, and practice extremely fast!"
"So, a lot of times, obviously a person with a high spiritual root and a low spiritual root come together to apprentice, and the Buddhists prefer those with a low spiritual root, because they understand the Dharma faster and practice more steadily. “
Hearing this, Fahai somewhat understood, Fahai said, "What the abbot means is that Xuanmen emphasizes the Tao with qi, and the technique of cultivating qi is proven, while Buddhism emphasizes the Tao with strength, and the proof is to break the common people with one force?"
The abbot said, "You have this understanding, which is correct for you, but for the poor monk, it is wrong. The perception of Buddhism is gradually changing with practice, each stage of the perception of Buddhism is different, you don't have to be entangled in which Buddhism is more authentic, what you need to know now is that the practitioner is the first stage of my Buddhist practice, which is equivalent to the practice of the Xuanmen. ”
Fahai said, "Master, I fought against the Lingmeng Fairy in the Beikun Sect, and I feel that the physical realm of the Buddha Sect is much more powerful than the Qi cultivation realm of the Immortal Sect, is this my delusion?"
The abbot smiled, "No, the poor monk has already told you, the real entry threshold of the Xuanmen is the Yuanying Realm, and under the Yuanying, they are all mortal cultivators! Only when they reach the Yuanying Realm, many of the immortal skills of the Xuanmen can be displayed, at that time, the Xuanmen is the real immortal cultivator, and they have the ability to suppress the Buddhism, and before the Yuanying, my Buddhism majored in the physical body, and the Xuanmen monk's soul is not strong, and he can't perform the Xuanmen Immortal Method, so it's strange that he can beat the Buddhism!"
Fahai understood, feelings, Xuanmen is strong in the later stage, and Buddhism is hanging in the early stage, so it seems that Lingmeng is not unjustly defeated!
You are a big late C-position shooter to fight with me with an early meat shield, can you beat the evil door!
