Chapter 34: The Patriarch of Bodhi Passed on the Sermon
The Flying Eagle Academy of Python Mountain was established. The Jade Emperor led all the gods to come down to the mortal world to celebrate, and the mortal world, the mountains and the tsunami, were very lively.
In the face of all sentient beings, under the hint of the golden boy and jade girl, Bodhi revealed his true identity, made his debut, met with Li Hai and Dong Shihua, and sincerely invited all the immortals and mortal cultivators to visit the architectural layout of the Flying Eagle Academy in Zhenpython Mountain.
Bodhi Ancestor said from shallow to deep, step by step: "The truth of the world, in fact, to put it bluntly, is a "empty" word, people, gods, ghosts, monsters, demons, Demons and elves, are the signs of burning and fluctuation in this world, in the world of the world, mortals are born in pursuit of happiness, but live with pain, the happy life of mortals, is not brocade clothes and jade food, but in the pure and elegant, warm and moist body, not in the blind pursuit, but in the sincere and frank, to cherish kindness, self-achievement, and strive to create, miracles are not in the distant sky, but begin in front of the first step.
On the road of mortal cultivation and immortal cultivation, there are many difficulties, and anything can happen, so if you want to succeed smoothly, it is very important to cultivate your mind and character.
People who are in adversity, if they can overcome all difficulties, give up worldly troubles, and concentrate on exploration, can achieve epiphany and reach a higher level.
Remember, the heart of the Tao is the master of the human heart, the heart of the heart must accept the leadership of the heart of the Tao, the mind determines the quantity, the realm determines the superior, whether you are cultivating the truth, or cultivating the immortals, in fact, it is the cultivation of the heart, the heart is the spirit, once the epiphany, out of control, within a second, the miracle is warm, appear in front of you.
The key to epiphany is to figure out the mystery, and this enlightenment can accompany you all your life or in a moment.
Epiphany, the mouth suddenly opened, like a worm, finally broke through the cocoon that had been bound and entangled around it for many years, turned into a butterfly, and spread its wings to fly. Shocking to the heart!
The wealth of the mortal world is like dust and sand, and the waves are famous, and they are also like flying flotsam.
If a person with bad intentions cultivates truth or immortality with ulterior motives, and wants to get away with it, he can only lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, get stuck in the quagmire, and can't extricate himself.
Mortals who cultivate truth or cultivate immortals, can not be afraid of fear, people who cultivate the Tao, pay attention to all fate, here, I am talking about this fate, not to let you passively accept fate, but the soul ferry, with the encounter and peace, if the heart is stopped, do not stain the Chen, seize the opportunity, bravely break through.
The heart is a field, and it is happy to plant it by itself, and to cultivate truth or immortals is not by luck, but by cultivating the heart, not demanding others, and not criticizing yourself. In Buddhism, the body is not me, just a shell, an illusion, it is the same as everything, are in eternal change, the Buddha is not destined for people, all beings hope to meet the Buddha, must form a good fate with the Buddha's heart, the most precious thing in the mortal world, is not gold and silver, but fate, between people, with fate, in order to get along, between people and things, with fate, in order to succeed, people and things, including our immortals, must pay attention to the word fate," The Buddha said, before becoming a Buddha, first get fate, get rid of the bitterness and happiness, soar into the sky, in this world, never fall off the pie for no reason, drink and peck, it is not predetermined. Those who plant good karma will get good results, Amitabha Buddha is destined to be a person, and those who plant evil karma will eat the evil fruits by themselves, regret!
Heaven and earth have rules, and this rule is made up of the blessing of the Three Thousand Great Dao, and it cannot be broken.
In the mortal world, there are many people who cultivate immortals and cultivate the truth, and if you want your dreams to come true, you must follow the rules of heaven and earth, and you must not go against the sky and go against the grain, which is the most important thing, just like if you want to fish, only if you cast the bait, the fish can be hooked, and you will get the fish. โ
Bodhi Ancestor looked at the gods and mortals who listened to his sermons with great meaning, and then said: "On the road of mortal cultivation or immortal cultivation, there is sunshine, wind and rain, and those who are not firm in their will are not what happened to you by others, but they have defeated themselves, they are slumped, useless, useless, and complaining about the heavens and others, which is the saddest failure.
In the mortal world, the red dust is rolling, disturbed, and it is difficult to find perfection, if you want everything to go well, sleep under the Tsubaki tree and have a spring dream, in the sky, there is no good thing to drop pies.
You mortals, with three religions and nine streams, a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, the rich are flowing with oil, and the poor are starving to death, and you basically live in contradictions.
You mortals should first learn to be grateful, meditate and think about your own faults, don't talk about others, complain less about other people's faults, remember more about the benefits of others, and do sow melons and get melons, sow beans and get beans, and repay each other with the grace of dripping water.
It should be noted that you mortals, whether you are a cultivator or an immortal, must remember that you can't hold grudges and have a grudge in your heart, and you will always have a heart knot that you can't open, and the final result is that you may go mad, suffer yourself, and harm yourself.
Resentment is a shackle, a cage, hatred is an even worse burden, only let go of the resentment or hatred in the heart, free your own mind, in order to travel lightly, twice the result with half the effort.
Let you let go of resentment or hatred, not that you are incompetent and timid, but a virtue, a kind of cultivation, a quality, a broad heart, open-minded, whether you are cultivating truth or cultivating immortals, anything, will not stop you from moving forward, things are heavenly, survival of the fittest.
The trickery is close to the delusion, the pedantic is difficult to be the root, the spells are varied, the perverts are not the same, the truth is false, the false is true, the true is false, and it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
Wutian, originally an Arhat in the West, after the failure of the catastrophe, he went mad, became a black-clothed lawless, very tragic revenge, made trouble in the heavenly palace, and finally the heavens were angry and resentful, the body died, the soul was caught, and he was beaten into the eighteen layers of hell, tortured until the soul was scattered, ashes and ashes, and eternity, all of which were not allowed to be reborn.
A long time ago, I once accepted an apprentice of a divine monkey, named Sun Wukong, who worshipped me to learn spells, and was taught by me the seventy-two changes of the earth.
This monkey Sun Wukong, talented and intelligent, but he is rough in hair, after learning the law half-understood, he was full of confidence from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and forcibly pulled out the Dinghai Divine Needle - Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick. Sun Wukong was dissatisfied with the priesthood of Bi Ma Wen in the heavenly court, unruly and lawless, he imitated Wutian to make a big fuss in the heavenly palace, and made a mess of the queen mother's peach banquet.
Heavenly Court sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to arrest him, but they all failed, and they had to invite Yang Jian, the god of Erlang, to fight with him.
Erlang God Yang Jian, like Sun Wukong, is my apprentice, and he learns the art of change from me.
The art of change is divided into the thirty-six changes of the heavenly stem and the seventy-two changes of the earth's evil.
Erlang God Yang Jian learned the heavenly stem thirty-six times, and he learned it thoroughly and kept improving.
Sun Wukong learned the seventy-two changes of the earth, he knew half of it, he couldn't chew it if he was greedy, and he couldn't reach it if he wanted to hurry.
Sun Wukong and Erlang God Yang Jian fought back and forth, always at a disadvantage, took a loophole, and fled.
Sun Wukong ran to the palace of my eldest apprentice Taishang Laojun, stole an elixir, and practiced into the incorruptible body of King Kong, and his mana became more and more powerful.
My eldest apprentice, Taishang Laojun, was so angry that he put a diamond ring on Sun Wukong and put it in the gossip furnace for refining, which backfired, so that Sun Wukong had a chance to refine his fiery eyes and escape from the gossip furnace.
Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, which made the Jade Emperor very angry and sent the Buddha to capture Sun Wukong.
If the Buddha has superior wisdom, in the clues, I judged that Sun Wukong is my apprentice, because of my feelings, such as the Buddha secretly observed my movements, and found that I was indifferent, ignoring the appearance at all, considering that Sun Wukong is capable of Qi Tian, unruly, debauched and free character, he will plan and press Sun Wukong under his five finger mountain, so that Sun Wukong understands a truth, that is, there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, let you have vast magical powers, boundless mana, I can also clean you up, so that you can't turn out the palm of my hand, this is the Buddha means wisely, in disguise to show me goodwill to save face, and not offend anyone elseใ
Sun Wukong has been under the Five Fingers Mountain of the Buddha for 500 years, sleeping in the open air, exposed to the sun and rain, and finally understands the gratitude for the blessing of the Buddha.
Although the Jade Emperor said that he was his senior brother, it was intolerable! There were too many concerns, but he stirred up the peach feast and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Queen Mother was angry, and the anger was hard to disappear, and she wanted to kill him quickly, and the Jade Emperor was in a dilemma, and he had no choice but to give the Holy Monkey King to death, so that he was wiped out. Thanks to the Buddha's improvisation, he secretly carried out a protection, he put Sun Wukong, forcibly pressed under his five finger mountain, if it were not so, calmed the anger in the heart of the queen mother, Sun Wukong would have died a long time ago, and the ashes were gone, where would there be a story about protecting Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures.
This is a clear example of good karma!
So I said, everything has a cause and effect, Sun Wukong took refuge in Buddhism, protected Tang monk Xitian to learn scriptures, experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally achieved a positive result, it is the blessing that the Buddha gave Sun Wukong, but also the blessing he cultivated after repentance, the West Heaven returned from learning scriptures, the merits were complete, and the task was completed.
Next, I will tell you about several kinds of mortal cultivation or immortal cultivation, through hard work, you can achieve the teaching of several martial arts mastery.
Shrinking the ground into inches is a kind of moving spell that can reach thousands of miles away in one step, it is one of the immortal arts in Taoism, as long as you master the skills, you can cultivate successfully anytime and anywhere.
Transfiguration is also a spell in Taoism, after mastering the skills, animals and plants can be transformed into human appearance, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and people can also be transformed into animals or plants, everything is changing.
Incarnation outside the body, even more magical, this spell, extremely powerful, is to make your body, and then another body, two bodies, exactly the same, have the same thinking ability, this spell, if mastered well, can be divided from a body, a hundred identical clones, is in battle, hidden secret power, surprise, control the enemy to death!
The avenue is facing the sky, changing rapidly, in the traditional religious beliefs of mortals, cultivating truth and becoming immortals, is the ultimate goal, to be an immortal, carefree, charming and lovely immortal, and to live a fairy life that everyone envies, is a mortal cultivation or immortal dream thing, the immortals above the nine heavens are not born with it, but through the cultivation of the mind, the practice of thousands of tempers, to realize your dreams, mortals cultivate the truth or cultivate immortals, and there are very few people who really fly to the sky to become immortals, what does this mean? Immortals are all made by mortals, but mortals are not strong.
Cultivation, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the cultivation of the mind, and only by cultivating the mind and cultivating the nature can we achieve positive results.
The rain is drunk, the wind is crying, the dream is lingering, the mind is strong, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, go to the moon for nine days, and be a happy living fairy, I hope you will keep it in mind, practice, cultivate the heart, complement each other, and make your wishes come true.
In the world, there are no more than two kinds of people, lovers and ruthless people, lovers, even if they are at the moment of life and death, they will also miss the world, and ruthless people, in order to achieve their own goals, will do whatever it takes, and even will kill relatives and friends, and the right way between heaven and earth will bless lovers with peace and joy, get what they want, and punish the ruthless people from heaven, it can be said: good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, heaven rewards diligence, retribution is not happy!
Mortals cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao have four realms, the first is to ask, the second is to know, the third is to see the Tao, and the fourth is to obtain the Tao.
Enlightenment, first learn to find the rules, everything, there is a law of development, can not find this law, blind cultivation of immortals, is to blindly toss yourself, do not know the law of enlightenment, light has a direction, it is called feeling the stone across the river, or the blind man touching the elephant, never understand the law of enlightenment, enlightenment has to have an opportunity, once enlightenment, whether you are cultivating immortals, or cultivating truth, will be like a mirror, the horse to success.
The way of heaven is the way of nature, that is, the principle that all things in the universe are mutually reinforcing and ever-changing, and it is necessary to find the law in nature, study and practice hard, and heaven rewards diligence.
The holy way is the way of the world, the principle of stability and stability, and the unity of the world.
Humanity is actually the way of life, that is, the principle of living in peace in the mortal world, living and working in peace and contentment, and behaving in the world.
These three paths complement each other, and if they lose one and leave the other, they will be far away from the way of heaven, and the holy path will be difficult, and if they are far from the holy way, humanity will be difficult.
Everything in the world, one thing descends to one thing, one ring is one ring, one ring is closely linked, anyone, any situation, is under constraints, only abide by the rules, wake up to the three paths, cultivate immortals and cultivate truth, smooth sailing.
Gods and immortals are two different things and should not be confused.
The gods of the heavenly realm all have positions, just like civil servants in the mortal world, who are dedicated to their duties, conscientious, and perform their duties to maintain and protect the peace and tranquility of the Three Realms.
The sergeant lifts the form to ascend to the void for nine days, which is called the upper immortal; the sergeant swims in the famous mountains and rivers, and is called the land immortal; the corporal dies first and then takes off, which is called the corpse of the immortal.
The highest celestial immortal ascends, it is the body and divine consciousness, all of which have become immortals. The autopsy immortal is a person who dies first, and then becomes an immortal like a golden cicada out of its shell, although they are all immortals, but they are very different.
There are five levels of immortals.
Ghosts and immortals are the inferior, and they have no name in the fairy world and the underworld, and can only wander in the mortal world. Ghosts and immortals, when they practice, are in a hurry, their form is like a withered tree, their hearts are like ashes, their consciousness is guarded, their illness is never safe, their bodies are dead, and their obsessions are not dispersed.
Human immortals are also in the mortal world, and there is no name in the fairy world and the underworld. The enlightenment of immortals is not complete, although the comprehension of the cultivation of the avenue of cultivation has been realized, but it has only mastered some fur, through cultivation, it is still possible to achieve the purpose of prolonging life, so that evil diseases have no way to infringe on their bodies, but the road of cultivating immortals only stops here, and from then on, there is really no growth.
Earth immortals, comparatively speaking, are much better than ghost immortals and human immortals, and can reach the cultivation realm of immortality, but they will not have divine power, and can only wander in the famous mountains and rivers.
Immortals are transformed and upgraded on the basis of earth immortals, transcendent and holy, and can leave the body of the yang god, survive alone, break away from the worldly mortal world, and go deep into the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
Heavenly immortals, after the achievement of immortals, accumulate virtue and do good, three thousand good deeds, complete merits, and be called by the Book of Heaven to return to the blessed land of the cave. Heavenly immortals, is the highest realm of immortals, with the same longevity as the sky, if you want to cultivate into a heavenly immortal, you need to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in a down-to-earth manner, cultivate merit, merit is immeasurable, merit is complete, called by the book of heaven, you are a heaven and earth, at ease, supreme immortal.
Okay, that's all for today! For your dreams, cheer for yourself, and continue to work hard! Remember, I am the Bodhi of all sentient beings, and you can also call me the ancestor of Hongjun, whether you are cultivating immortals or cultivating truth, you should remember these four truths: Bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust! In the mortal world, it's you and not you, it's not you, I'm not me, you're not you, it's all dressed in a stinky coat, cultivation is a journey, there is a long way to go, slowly get started, enlighten with heart, truly grasp the essence, review the old and learn the new, integrate and understand, keep improving, miracles, in an instant, okay, it's all gone!"
The applause was thunderous, soaring into the sky.
The doppelgangers of Bodhi Ancestor and his six apprentices sat in the town, preaching scriptures and preaching, and suppressing the Python Mountain Flying Eagle Academy, if it was not popular, it would not work.
It's just that this good time didn't last long, there was chaos in the Three Realms, all the demons and monsters came out, and the plan didn't change quickly
, The demon action must rise!
