Master Shu, who was dressed in a green cloth monk's robe, was also pleasantly surprised to see everyone, and after meeting Chen Lu'an and Yun Yiqi, he looked at Hua Lanting and smiled: "I said that early this morning, the magpie on the branch in front of Lingyan Pavilion kept chirping, and sure enough, there were rare guests." ”

Hao An said: "Master, isn't your Divine Realm Kung Fu open, why didn't you expect a distinguished guest to come?"

Master Tree tapped the head of the obscure shore: "How can it be so magical, it is still in a period when it takes chance and whim to feel something, and Master can't be unpredictable about everything." ”

Chen Lu'an and Yun Yiqi did not show it on their faces, and they were shocked in their hearts. Before, Master Tree had sealed his own skills and traveled to Xianzhou, Hua Lanting and the others only knew that they were powerful, and they didn't know the true level, but now Master Shu's cultivation was still above Chen Lu'an, fortunately, they were friends rather than enemies.

After talking for a while, Master Shu knew that they were going to attend the Guangji Temple ceremony, and now that the day was approaching, he decided to immediately cast a spell to add a life to the cat demon.

After asking Hao'an to bring the cat demon into the quiet room on the basement floor of Lingyan Pavilion, Master Shu invited ten people from Hualan Court and the seriously injured Feng Huo Lun, Yi Xuan and Zi Mouse to enter the underground with him, and took Chen Lu'an and Yun Yiqi to the Buddhist hall to meet with the abbot of Qixia Temple.

Hua Lanting and the others didn't know what they meant, thinking that it was the tree master who asked them to observe the casting process of the cat demon's longevity.

After sitting down in a circle around the door of the ashram, Master Shu said, "Wait a minute, I will use the 'Buddha Qi' purple gold bowl to perform the 'Buddha Light Shine'."

"If you want to know about Buddhism and Tantra, you can ask me questions and discuss them together. The more focused your attention and the more focused your mind becomes, the smoother the spell casting process will be. Let's go. ”

The purple gold bowl beside the master emitted golden light, gradually enveloping the quiet room and everyone.

Hua Lanting took the lead in asking: "As far as I know, there is a rule in the Buddhist refuge ritual of 'not being a companion to a foreign sect', and the master has a wide range of knowledge and practices, how do you view and deal with the doctrinal conflicts between different sects? How does Buddhist cultivation treat foreign ways and people who have no faith?"

"First of all, this doesn't mean that you can't talk and make friends with people who believe in different things. Not being a companion means not having a close companion of the pagan religion who can influence you spiritually. ”

"If practicing Buddhism is to the left, then you should not let a person who is going to the right affect your beliefs, because it will make you confused or even deviate from the direction you have chosen. ”

"I'm not saying here that the other schools are inferior to Buddhism, just that they are fundamentally different, and the average person can't follow two different paths at the same time. ”

"Some people will say that their Taoism is a collection of great strengths. This may be a good attempt, but it won't work. I think it's better to keep the world diverse. ”

"Just like there are Sichuan, Huaiyang, Cantonese, Shandong and so on in the cuisine, people can choose what to eat, but if they are mixed together, it must be a dish that has no characteristics and is not delicious. ”

"If you have a headache, taking medicine for a headache doesn't mean you have to condemn or disrespect other medications, or sell headache medicine to people with stomach aches. ”

"In addition to religions with very different doctrines, between Buddhism and Taoism, Confucianism, and different factions within Buddhism, because I don't see major conflicts, you can believe in Buddhism and apply Confucian values at the same time, and it will be very helpful to be with Taoist practitioners. ”

It should be pointed out that there are similarities in the field of view, and we can learn from each other, but in general, different teachings should not be mixed. ”

"In my opinion, each of the teachings and paths is unique and complete. When your insight has not reached a certain height, don't be greedy and chew too much. ”

"As for the Dharma, there can be compatibility, for example, a Buddhist cultivator can practice external shravaka, internal Mahayana, and tantric Vajra at the same time. ”

Lin Xian was shocked and asked, "There are 84,000 methods in Buddhism, how should believers choose the right one for themselves?"

Master Shu replied, "In Buddhism, the living Buddha, the guru and the master are doctors, the believers are the sick, and the Dharma is the medicine. ”

"The Dharma is like all those different kinds of herbs and therapies, each of which works for different people and in different situations. In fact, the 84,000 Dharma is just a symbolic imaginary number representation, and there are many more Dharma gates than that. ”

"The Buddha taught us different things, and one method doesn't have to be special in other ways. Sometimes, in order to encourage the disciples and not let them get distracted, they tend to say that a particular method is the most suitable and the best, but that is just a way of training, and should not be understood as one is better than the other. ”

"Each method has a specific audience, and it needs to be taught according to the timing and the different qualifications of each person. ”

For example, the Buddha taught a wandering monk that when he is making a dervishes, he should accept whatever he is offered. In this case, you may see that the monks accept meat, which is not a permissible way to eat meat, but rather not to be selective when it comes to karma. ”

"The greatness of the Buddha lies in the fact that the Buddha does not teach only one type of person, and the Dharma does not become narrow and limited because of cultural differences, the passage of time, and changes in the environment.

"Eighty-four thousand methods, choose from them that correspond to your feelings. How do you find the right way for you? My advice is to explore. ”

"The process of searching is also a process of maturity, as long as you persevere, there will be beautiful and rich rewards, as long as you are persistent, full of desire, keep an open mind and critical thinking, you will definitely meet your method. ”

"Good or bad, fast or slow are secondary. ”

"All beings have different qualifications, different abilities, and different cognitions. The medicine is the same, and the dosage can be different. Fast and slow are also relative. ”

"Let's use an analogy. A child is sick and needs to be treated with medication. The problem is that if he thinks the medicine is bitter and refuses to drink it, then he can only coax him to eat and trick him into drinking. Adults have to mix the decoction with milk, honey, and juice, which takes time to extract, dye, label, and so on. ”

"But if the child has the courage and ability to drink the medicine when he sees it, it will be much faster. ”

"It is not without precedent for one day to become a Buddha. ”

So, what kind of method to learn is up to the person. Some people are cautious and choose longer but safe paths, while others take shortcuts, but there are obstacles on the way, and if they can't cope with them well, they will arrive later than others. ”

Yi Liunian asked again: "On the way here, Hao An said that there were many fake masters and pseudo-living Buddhas in the end of the Dharma era, how can people distinguish and choose guides?"

Master Tree said: "There is indeed this problem, the situation is still very serious, and the times are different. ”

"I remember my guru living a life of exile, spreading the Dharma day after day, and their generation of living Buddhas trained and taught their disciples in tents, eating barley buckwheat and drinking boiling hot water. ”

"But now the young Living Buddha Inheritors are hugging each other, they are worshipped, they have never been beaten, they have never been drunk with sticks, they are served, they are used to calling people, they are overprotected, they have not been rejected, they don't know the outside world, they don't even want to walk themselves. ”

"Think about it, if a person can't even put on his own clothes, how can he be expected to save sentient beings?"

"A lot of times it's hard to tell if it's true or not, because only a Mahasiddha can tell if another person is a Mahasiddha or a temple with a long-term lineage. To do this, we need to test our preachers. ”

For example, test him in his own way. If he is mad, you will be mader than he is. He loves to scold, and you go and insult him. If he doesn't get angry about it, and he doesn't change his value orientation, behavior and attitude, and way of thinking, then maybe it's not bad. ”

"The other thing is to observe his motivation and motivation, to see if he is overly enthusiastic about worldly affairs, to see how much they pay attention to the spiritual value of their disciples, not how much you offer. ”

Again, it is to see how much knowledge of the Dharma he has, but in fact it is a very minor way of judging, and more importantly, whether he has pure precepts, which is not only an external precept, but a respect for the Three Jewels and the laws of cause and effect. ”

"Many people will teach the Dharma for money, power and fame, or even sell it as a business, which is a very serious sin and bad karma. ”

"Yes Master, a person who will teach you the way to liberation. He cares about your liberation and has the courage to tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. ”

"Living Buddhas are human beings like gurus, they are not perfect, they make mistakes. “

"I myself am often confused, hoping to make the right choice, but like a feather in the wind, it is difficult to choose, and I am pushed around by various circumstances. So, I don't want to be called a living Buddha, it's just a name. ”

In this way, nearly an hour passed.

Finally, the tree master snapped his fingers on the purple gold bowl, and a deafening, crisp and melodious voice resounded through the Lingyan Pavilion, and the life increase of the cat demon was completed.

Everyone woke up from the answer and was stunned.

Each of them found that all their injuries were healed, and no matter how serious the injuries were present, including the rats, there was no more obvious or hidden disease in their bodies.

What's even more surprising is that each of them's cultivation has directly jumped to a small realm.

Master mercy!

Master Shu did not tell them in advance, but used the pretext of sitting and talking to perform tantric restoration techniques for them with the light of the Buddha.

Everyone stood up and thanked the master.

The master didn't get up, he only waved his hand, his expression was very tired, and the purple gold bowl beside him and his face became a little darker.

Master Tree didn't say anything, in fact, casting spells for the cat demon and healing and improving everyone's injuries, with his outstanding cultivation and the Buddha power of the purple gold bowl, it was not a simple and easy task, and the burden and consumption were not small.

This was a gesture of kindness on the part of the Tree Master, but it also caused them trouble.

Qixia Temple is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are several peaks and temples between it and the Demon Cultivation Jurisdiction.

Ever since the Tree Master first opened the Divine Realm Psychic Power, once the Demon Cultivator invaded and attacked this area, the Tree Master could feel it every time, so as to respond in advance.

But after today's power was exhausted, this supernatural power could not be activated in time to activate itself.

Everyone didn't know at this time that a crisis was quietly approaching them.
