Chapter Twenty-Nine: Awakening at the Beginning of Thought, Illusion is Unparalleled 2
The Three Realms and Six Realms, idealistic self-contemplation, the mirror image of the water and the moon, how can there be life and death?!!!
Hearing this eye-catching phrase from the master of enlightenment, Wang Yuetian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart:
In the eyes of the Buddhists, all things in the heavens and the earth themselves are the greatest illusion array! The six impure people are deeply trapped in the world illusion array without knowing it. Ignorance leads to ignorance, and ignorance leads to cause and effect, which in turn creates all kinds of karma.
And this karma, which arises from ignorance, provides an endless source of motivation for the cycle of birth and death.
Therefore, in the view of Buddhism, the fundamental reason why sentient beings of the six realms cannot get rid of the suffering of samsara is that the ignorant and ignorant sentient beings themselves are the source of driving the cycle of life and death!
It is for this reason that, in the eyes of Buddhists, in order for sentient beings to be free from the endless cycle of birth and death, they must fundamentally get rid of the state of ignorance and ignorance and find a way to achieve the state of enlightenment of wisdom and perfection.
The original meaning of the word Buddha is the enlightened one, the awakened one.
In the view of Buddhism, the first step in achieving perfection is to first break through the obstacles of the outer path and red dust, to mind the mind, and to see the true self.
Only when we have attained the state of self can we see clearly the truth of the world hidden behind the appearance of all things, and attain the state of enlightenment and perfection.
And once a person has cultivated his true self from the red dust illusion, he will no longer be trapped by the appearance of the five senses.
In a trance, Wang Yuetian had a strong feeling, it seemed that as long as he returned to the dark space where the five senses were lost to realize the true self, it wouldn't be long before he could be reborn in vain!
But at this moment, Wang Yuetian forcibly suppressed the feeling in his heart. Because he wanted to know what else happened in the Yunmeng Valley of Tianmen Mountain back then.
At the same time that Wang Yuetian forcibly suppressed his thoughts, the voice of the Zen Master of Enlightenment sounded in his ears again:
"Amitabha.
The Noble Master has practiced the illusion of red dust since childhood, and his lost heart is more difficult to extradite than ordinary people. But now that the donor can break through the obstacle and find his heart in such a short period of time, this wisdom root is really rare. ”
Hearing the sudden words of the Enlightenment Master, everyone in the audience, including Wang Yuetian, was shocked!
Sure enough, just when everyone's hearts were shocked and there was a slight commotion, Le Wuhui, who had been lying on the ground like a zombie, let out a long sigh.
Hearing Le Wuhui's sigh, Wang Yuetian only felt an indescribable mysterious feeling in his heart. It seems that from the sigh of Le Wuhui, he once again experienced the process from death to life from the loss of the five senses to the regain of the five senses.
After a short trance, Wang Yuetian, who had just come back to his senses, felt a pop in his heart, and he looked at everyone present for the first time.
At a glance, he was shocked to find that most of the Cangyin Building cultivators around him also had a trace of confusion and understanding in their eyes.
For a moment, Wang Yuetian couldn't help but feel shocked:
It's such a powerful illusion sound!! I am just in a memory fragment, not immersive, and I can still be affected so much. This is called the Joy of the Returnless Dream Demon, which is really powerful!!
After a long while, everyone present woke up from their trance. Seeing the people in Cangyinlou who looked confused but seemed to have an understanding, the Zen Master of Enlightenment, who was sitting in front of Le Wu, spoke again:
"Amitabha, as the world often says: chanting is easy to interpret and difficult to interpret. Even a monk who has been practicing Buddhism for half a lifetime may not be able to enlighten a person after reciting sutras and teaching the Dharma for several years.
But the sigh of the Ox Donalt, although he did not say a word, has brought several people one step closer to enlightenment. This kind of wonderful method of moving the heart with sound has a little bit of the Buddha's Lingshan Puja at the flower smile to convey the true meaning of the heart with the heart. It's rare, it's really rare. ”
Hearing the exclamation of the Zen Master of Enlightenment, I don't know when I have lost half of my arrogance on the face of Le Wuhui, who was sitting in front of the Zen Master of Enlightenment, but responded respectfully:
"The Enlightened Master has won the prize. If it weren't for your guidance, Master, it would be difficult to see the true meaning of the Dharma that is immediately enlightened in the midst of the loss of the five senses. ”
As soon as the four words of the four words came out, Le Wuhui suddenly bowed and kowtowed respectfully to the Zen Master of Enlightenment.
Seeing this scene, the faces of all the people in Cangyinlou who were present changed! Because in their impressions, Le Wuhui, who had always regarded himself very highly, had never bowed to outsiders.
Just when everyone's hearts were shaken by the worship of Le Wuhui, they heard the voice of Le Wuhui in their ears again:
"Since he was born, he has not worshiped the heavens, nor knelt on the ground, but only worshiped his parents and the ancestors in the sect.
This worship to the master is to thank the master for his enlightenment and recreation, so that Wuhui can see his heart clearly and see his true self;
The second is to thank the master for his grace, so that I can make some compensation for the people in the Cangyin Building before I leave, so as to make up for the damage caused before. ”
After saying this, before the Enlightened Master could answer, Le Wuhui turned his body around again and looked towards a towering nine-story pagoda in the mouth of the Eastern Valley.
Although this hope is only for a moment, what is revealed in Le Wuhui's eyes is endless memories and attachments.
Eventually, when he stopped his eyes on the ninth floor of the pagoda, a crystal flashed in his eyes.
Then, everyone only heard the sound of banging, and Le Wuhui, who knelt down again, kowtowed three times in the direction of the nine-story pagoda.
Seeing this scene without a word, everyone in Cangyin Building, who knew the meaning of the pagoda, only felt a sour heart and felt extremely uncomfortable.
And an old man in white who was standing in front of the window of the nine-story pagoda and looking at the movement of the valley mouth, saw Le Wuhui, who was kneeling to him, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and his body trembled slightly.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Enlightenment Zen, who also knew a little about Cangyin Tower, sighed secretly and said:
"Amitabha, when the Lord sees the beginning of the heart, he knows the way to walk, and this mind is really not easy.
With this kind of wisdom of the donor, as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to break through the realm of self and cultivate the realm of selflessness, and you will no longer be free from the suffering of the world, and you will no longer fall into the cycle of birth and death. ”
Hearing the words of the Enlightened Master, who obviously included him in his disciples, Le Wuhui did not reply immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
Seeing the beads of sweat gradually appearing on Le Wuhui's face, as well as the face that changed from time to time, the enlightened master who had already cultivated the realm of human law and emptiness was stunned and immediately understood.
In front of me, the joy of realizing the true self is actually recalling his past life, and he intends to get a glimpse of the realm of selflessness!
Looking at Le Wuhui in front of him, the Master of Enlightenment seemed to see a piece of unpolished peerless jade. The enlightened master said in his heart, as long as this piece of jade is tempered a little, it will have the opportunity to become a treasure of eternity!
Under the instruction of the enlightened master, the people in the surrounding Cangyin Building quietly waited for the realization of the joy of no return.
Until the sunset was slightly set and the sky and the sea were colored, the long-closed Joy finally opened his eyes again.
Seeing the first glance of Le Wuhui's eyes, the master of enlightenment sighed slightly in his heart. Because what he saw in Le Wuhui's eyes was not the color of emptiness that he expected, but a trace of obsession that represented the deep seed of self-grasping.
However, the Enlightened Master was relieved when he thought about it. After all, the kind of Buddha who has just entered the empty door and ascended to the ancestral throne is probably the only future Buddha who exists in the scriptures and cannot be obtained.
Thinking of this, the Enlightened Master spoke again and preached the Dharma to Le Wu:
"Noble Lord, although the realm of true self can make you break through the illusion of the world and recognize your true heart. But when you reach this state of having self in your mind, you also fall into self-grasping and self-seeing because of the existence of "me".
You see, once a person is based on his own knowledge, he or she may fall back into ignorance. Because compared to the immeasurable world, what man knows and sees is always limited. Once a person rests on his laurels, he or she will fall into the trap again.
However, it is a pity that the stronger the person, the easier it is to fall into self-paranoia.
There is nothing outside the heart, only me. This attachment to the past, to the present, to the future, is sometimes more terrible than the lost heart. Cultivators who are too attached to themselves often fall into the demonic path if they are not careful, and they will never recover.
If you want to get rid of the current situation of suffering in all dharmas, only by continuing to practice and sharpen in the future can you reach the state of pure and inaction, and the emptiness of human dharma as soon as possible.
So, Lord Noble Donalt, you are now willing to go back to the monastery with the old man to practice. ”
Hearing this inquiry from the Enlightened Master, Le Wuhui did not answer directly, and after pondering for a long time, he sighed again and said:
"Master, Wu Hui has just looked back on the past, and he really tried to try to let go of the past and go to the temple with the master to practice.
But every time I want to forget those pasts, my heart is filled with boundless pain. I felt that the pain came from the struggle of my inner self.
I don't want to ask the master, the true self in my heart is actually a collection of past obsessions. If I let go of this obsession, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing the true self that had just been born in my heart with my own hands? Isn't this act of denying oneself and obliterating one's heart a murderous act?"
When the enlightened master heard this, he immediately shook his head:
"It is not to create karma for killing, but to remove negative karma.
The so-called true self, in the realm of selflessness, is still an obsession and an illusion. This also determines that the act of denying oneself is not creating karma.
Have you ever thought that you are no longer the same you were yesterday, and that you are not the same you were just now. If you are considered to be negating yourself when you change or are different, you are committing sins, then isn't everyone killing the self just now?"
Hearing this statement of the enlightened master, Le Wu's heart moved. Seeing this, the Enlightened Master continued:
"Noble Scholar, since you have asked this question, it means that you are already in the realm of self and selflessness, trying to reach the realm of self-emptiness in the Dharma of Buddhism, and even the realm of emptiness in the Dharma of Humanity.
But you have to understand that all the suffering you feel now is made up of "me", and as long as "me" exists, the suffering will not go away. This is also the truth of the Buddha's four noble truths, "all things are impermanent, and everything is suffering".
If you want to get rid of this state of all suffering, the only direction of your practice is that there is no self in all dharmas, and silence is happiness. ”
"There is no self in all laws, and silence is joy?"
Hearing the words of the Zen Master of Enlightenment, it was a shock to be happy and unreturned. His complexion changed several times, and he closed his eyes again and began to meditate. After a while, the struggling look on his face was even better than just now!
When Le Wuhui opened his eyes again, the Zen Master of Enlightenment, who had been quietly observing him, couldn't help frowning. Because, the enlightened master who is well versed in the way of human nature has seen a trace of the persistence of the demon in the eyes of Le Wuhui.
Just when the Zen Master of Enlightenment frowned deeply and pondered the method of persuasion, he only heard the voice of Le Wuhui come again, saying:
"The realm of the two emptiness of the human law cultivated by the master is really fascinating, but I still can't let go of the obsession in my heart now without trying back.
Some things, as the master said, are really just a human thought. But people are only people after all!
For those obsessions that have been engraved in the depths of the soul, even if it is the cycle of life and death, I am afraid that they cannot be completely erased!
Therefore, Master, in the view of no return, only the true self formed by the condensation of obsession is the meaning of the existence of this world. If even I don't exist, then what's the point of the worldly laws?!"
Speaking of this, Le Wuhui paused slightly, and then he continued with a firm look in his eyes towards the Zen Master of Enlightenment:
"If the Buddha's final outcome is to realize everything, the human dharma is empty. And who is the master with whom I am talking now? Is it man or emptiness?
There is no self in all laws, and silence is joy.
Even if this kind of realm is really the way to eliminate suffering, if the Dharma has no self, who is in reincarnation?!!!
Hearing Le Wuhui's obsessive words, the Zen Master of Enlightenment couldn't help but frown more and more. Before he could preach the Fa again and persuade him, Le Wuhui's voice sounded again:
"If the only way for Buddhism to get out of the cycle of life and death is to cultivate to the point where there is no joy, no sorrow, no thought, no consciousness. Then I am happy to have no return, it seems that I am destined to fall into eternal reincarnation, and there will be no return.
But even if God condemns me to eternal reincarnation, I want to create a perfect world of joy and sorrow, happiness and suffering for the world in this reincarnation. Even if that world is just a dream, the world between this dream is enough to !! eternity."
Hearing Le Wuhui's firm words, the Enlightened Master was shocked in his heart, and before he could think about the meaning of the words, he only felt an extremely strange wave of divine consciousness rising from the sea of Le Wuhui.
As the divine consciousness surging out like waves swept over everyone, everyone only heard a sound in their ears that seemed to be high and low, and seemed to be real and irrevocable:
"If you are dreaming of a drunk, the game is half a waste, if you invite you into my dream, there will be no flaws, no regrets, no return!!"
