Chapter 11: World-Honored Views and Appearances
"What kind of burden is this, for a sect, cultivation resources are important, and for these miscellaneous disciples, the sect doesn't have to pay any resources at all, it just needs some yellow and white things in the world, and these things, for the Thousand Lotus Temple, are completely not worth mentioning, in fact, the emperor of that country, in addition to governing the country well, another task is to serve these little ancestors."
"Don't Buddhist disciples need to abstain from sex?".
"If it is other Buddhist sects, maybe pay more attention to this, but in the Thousand Lotus Temple, there is no abstinence at all, this "Thousand Lives Lotus Sutra" cultivation will encounter a big ravine, many people are difficult to cross in their lives, and in order to be able to break through, many of those monks choose to experience the seven emotions and six desires in the world.
During this period, it is inevitable that children will be born, and those who have immortal roots can be introduced into the door, and those who do not have immortal roots will be left to fend for themselves outside, and those monks will feel guilty and will lead to imperfect mental qualities, but they will not be able to guard them in the world for the rest of their lives, so the sect simply brings these people to the temple to raise them."
Hearing this, Yuan Yi couldn't help but think of the girl surnamed Zhao, could she enter the door like this?
"Okay, you just know so much, no matter how much you know, your cultivation won't be much higher, let's go to cultivate, if you don't understand it, just come to me."
Immediately, the old man left, Yuan Yi immediately closed the gate, in his opinion, there should be no one to come, he closed the gate, here will be his one acre and three points of land in the future, he can be the king here, but also can cultivate with peace of mind.
After closing the door, Yuan Yi came to the back of the first floor, found the room prepared for the caretaker, opened the door and took a look, and found that it was simple, a bed, a quilt, a pair of tables and chairs, and in addition to these common ones, a hole was punched in the wall, and there was constantly water flowing down, this should be the mountain spring water that Xie Lao said, a big pit was dug below, and a small hole was dug in the big pit to lead a sewer down, so that the mountain spring water would not flood this room.
And in the sky directly above the room, there is a fist-sized bead, after seeing this bead, Yuan Yi thought for a long time, can't think of its use, and after not finding any lighting equipment, Yuan Yi suddenly thought, could this be the pearl of the night, used to illuminate the room.
If it really is, it is too extravagant, this fist-sized night pearl, if it is in the world, it will definitely be as valuable as He's bi, Yuan Yi is even thinking, if he can't cultivate, he can take out this pearl and sell it, and then it will be enough for his family to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
Subsequently, Yuan Yi summoned a broom, cleaned the room, and after cleaning, he got a simple mask for himself, and began to clean the dusty three-story Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, since it was his own territory, it was natural to clean it, and during this period, a mortal servant brought food.
After seeing this meal, Yuan Yi immediately smiled, this meal has seven dishes and two soups, there are vegetables and meat, the color and flavor are complete, and it is the chef's craftsmanship at a glance.
And as soon as he saw this meal, Yuan Yi's body kept swallowing saliva out of instinct, this iron pillar was born in a poor mountain village, and eating a piece of meat was very luxurious for him, so he couldn't help it soon, and he feasted on this meal, and soon ate it cleanly, and after eating, he didn't need to wash it, and the next time the little guy came, he would take away the dishes.
"This kind of life, I'm afraid that Tie Xiaozhu can't even think of it, indeed, even if it is a miscellaneous disciple, it is also a disciple of Qianlian Temple, how can it be more noble than mortals."
After working for most of the day, cleaning this scripture pavilion spotlessly, Yuan Yi was satisfied, if this cleaning was his task, he would definitely not be so serious, but this scripture pavilion has become his territory, he naturally has to take it seriously, he doesn't want to live in a dusty house.
At this time, it was already dark, because the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion would not be open to disciples at night, so there was no lighting equipment in the pavilion, and Yuan Yi had to return to his own house, and at this time, as soon as he opened the door and stepped into the house, what appeared in front of him was a bright room, and this was the credit of the beads on his head.
"Good guy, it's really the pearl of the night", Yuan Yi sighed, then sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the "Ten Lives Lotus Sutra" given by the old man, turned the first page, and what appeared in front of Yuan Yi was a passage, "Heaven and earth are leisurely, all things are reckless, there is a world-honored Buddha flower born, immeasurable light, walking among the heavens and all worlds, living beings, under the Bodhi tree, achieving supreme enlightenment, for the beginning of Buddhism ......."
"World-honored one, there is also a world-honored here, or to achieve supreme enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, isn't it Shakyamuni! The Buddhism of this world has nothing to do with the previous life", this is not the beginning of the exercises, it should be the "Ten Lives Lotus Sutra", or even the general outline of the "Thousand Lives Lotus Sutra", which introduces the origin of Buddhism.
Yuan Yi didn't think much about it, whether it mattered or not, but it was not something that he could be investigated as a mortal now, and immediately turned the second page, and after seeing the content of the second page, as well as the many annotations on the old man's note, Yuan Yi was immediately relieved, originally, he thought that the Buddhas paid attention to physical training, and would enter the Buddha with martial arts, and if they practiced the body, they needed all kinds of resources, which was not what Yuan Yi could get today.
Fortunately, this Buddhism introductory exercise is not a physical exercise, but a method of visualization, in your own mind, visualize a powerful Dharma of Buddhism, with this method to suppress the sea of knowledge, resist external demons, so as to attract the element of heaven and earth into the body, little by little to form the Buddha Yuan.
And this "Ten Lotus Sutra", the visualization is naturally the Thousand Lotus Arhat, in this scripture, there is the image of the Thousand Lotus Arhat, if you feel that this Buddha statue is not vivid, the Thousand Lotus Temple provides the disciples with a free photo stone, and you can immediately see the appearance of the living Thousand Lotus Arhat.
Immediately, Yuan Yi bathed and changed his clothes, burned incense to calm his breath, discharged the distracting thoughts in his heart, and began to visualize the Dharma of this Thousand Lotus Arhats, and this method of visualization is difficult to say, but it is also simple to say, just stare at the pattern on the book, and then in his mind, sketch it out little by little.
And this step has nothing to do with whether you have an immortal root or not, even mortals can do it, but mortals don't have immortal roots, even if they visualize this Dharma Phase, they can't absorb the Yuan between Heaven and Earth, but there is a Dharma Aspect to suppress the sea of knowledge, which can be light and healthy, and prolong life.
