Chapter 116: Talking to the Dryad (II)

The dryad is confused, if a person does not seek personal gain, then heaven and earth will not allow him.

That's what he always thought.

"But why? When the old monk asked me to cross him, he didn't say that. ”

The dryad recounted the past.

Back then, he was still a little demon, and he was almost killed by a thunderbolt, but a monk saved him. The monk was willing to take a monk as a guarantee to influence the tree demon.

The gods made a covenant with him, and if he failed to reform, the dryad would take the life of a monk in a temple.

Afterwards, the monk was successfully reformed.

But when he was dying, he said to me, "Man does not perish for his own sake." He was also reformed to become a Buddha. The dryad spoke his heart and stared at Shen Shi. This is his inner demon.

After listening to this, Shen Shi understood why he became the Dryad Grandma.

That monk is in the pit world.

Just like Shen Shi said earlier, this is a tragedy of world change.

Buddhism is also an ancient great religion, and it has a good understanding of the operation of heaven. It is precisely because of this understanding that they set up 800 side doors on their own and become saints.

However, the "side door" also means a shortcut, a special Dharma created by a special era and a special environment. Later, times changed, and the methods of the past were not good. If you only pay attention to external strength and don't pay attention to yourself, then the monk should not say "become a Buddha", even if he lives for two more days, he will not be able to do it.

The monk discovered this before he died, so his words were also "kind" and told the dryad. I want to get the dryad on the right track.

Alas!

"Has the abbot read the Buddha Says the Ten Good Karma Sutras?"

Of course he won't have read it, because this "Buddha Says the Ten Good Karma Sutras" is a speech by a master in later generations, in this era, where can he look, so Shen Shi didn't wait for him to answer and said directly: "Life is for oneself, it is justified, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed." Buddhism means: not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, not double-tongued, not gossiping, not evil-mouthed, not greedy, not resentful, not evil opinions, is "for oneself". Not to create new evil consequences for oneself, not to cause new calamities for oneself, this is "for oneself". Only in this way will it not be destroyed.

In the sentence "if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed", "for themselves" requires "people" to follow the moral law.

From this point of view, the "self" of "for oneself" does not have the same meaning as self-interest as we generally understand it. Not only fame and fortune are not "self", but even wife and family are not "self". According to Buddhism, a person who is truly "self" must be indifferent to fame and fortune, detached from things, and behave in a ...... manner."

"This ...... How could this be?" the dryad's expression changed drastically.

Thousands of years of demons turned out to be misunderstood?

Shen Shi didn't give him a chance, took out a Buddhist scripture story while the iron was hot, and pointed to a flag in the corner of the temple, and the flag moved with the wind: "The wind blows the flag and floats, do you say that the wind is moving or is the flag moving?"

A little monk was the fastest: "Of course the wind is moving." ”

Shen Shi shook his head slightly.

An old monk said, "Is the flag moving?"

Shen Shi continued to shake his head.

A monk said, "Then what's moving? The world is moving?"

Shen Shi raised his eyes and said, "It's your hearts that are moving."

There are still many people who know this Buddhist story in the information age of Shen Shi's later generations. This does not mean that things change in nature, but when we treat things, we always judge the good or bad of things subjectively at first. Shen Shi used this Zen principle to tell the tree demon, "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves", it's not what you think, the truth hasn't changed, it's just the heart that has changed.

Bao Zheng clapped his hands: "Well said!" He knew that Shen Shi was a great storyteller. is like the Chinese ghost story, the love of people and ghosts, and his black charcoal is sad to see.

Wang Dynasty Mahan laughed and said, "Lord Shen is amazing!"

For a time, they were starry and morale.

The abbot's body is the Buddha's light is obscure, flickering and dark, and the demonic energy is gradually born. It was as if something was about to appear.

Is this a thought of becoming a demon?

Shen Shi had to be secretly on guard.

Buddhism is boundless, in addition to having the good side of crossing people, there is also "one thought into a demon".

In this respect, the Buddha is truly compassionate, and whether it is good or evil, it is all in my bosom. But the thought of turning demons is also a place for him to deceive people, and it seems that the higher the Buddhist cultivation, the more powerful the demons will be.

And judging from the other party's surging demonic energy. Shen Shi had to worry that he wasn't doing it.

Qi Sea Realm, Transformation God Realm, or Yuan Infant Stage?

It is recorded in the classics of the human religion that everything can be cleared, and it can be turned into a demon. Clearing, gathering, refining, and building a foundation are the processes of cultivation. After the foundation is laid, the road is the way.

The foundation is successful, the purple mansion is bright, and the sea can be angry. The sea of qi is formed, and the spirit is transformed. The primordial spirit is nurtured, like a primordial infant, for the primordial infancy.

Shen Shi is only in the middle stage of foundation building now, but the tree demon, the primordial god is in and out, at least above the transformation period, it is not surprising that it is the old demon in the primordial infancy. And once the demon is transformed, the combat power is even more extraordinary.

Shen Shi only hopes that his own people will teach the inheritance to be more powerful, and he can really kill the demons in the world!

Shen Shi didn't know that because of his crossing, it was obvious that he had become the demon tribulation of this Lanruo Temple.

There is no day when Shen Shi crosses, according to the normal process of history, tonight it should be Lanruo Temple persecuting the villagers, and the villagers have no way to live, and they crashed to death on this thousand-year-old tree demon, and cursed Lanruo Temple up and down with blood.

The monks of Lanruo Temple disagreed. After all, the Divine Tree is the abbot's "open hanging", and of course they don't think that the Divine Tree will fight back.

However, how could these wine and meat monks understand the weight of the priesthood. He was persuaded by the wishes of the villagers, so he naturally wanted to make a move. So, overnight, the monks in and out of the temple died cleanly. Lanruo Temple has become a famous ghost temple.

And "calamity" itself is one of the laws of heaven and earth, and it will not exist because this world is small and cannot cultivate the way of heaven. On the contrary, there is no Heavenly Dao existing, and it will also operate autonomously.

It is difficult to say that Shen Shi will go to Lanruo Temple tonight to say that it is Shen Shi's original intention, and there is no running of some calamity.

After all, the law is like flowing water in a high mountain, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. At first glance, it looks like people are walking and water is flowing, but this is a law in itself.

The wind grew stronger, and the clouds in the sky gradually thickened, obscuring the stars and the moon. It seems that the human calamity is not enough, and the thunder calamity helps each other.

The abbot remained silent, not caring at all about the thunder of heaven, and said quietly: "The Buddha said that evil words hurt people and fall into hell after death. I don't know if the donor believes in heaven and hell. ”

Shen Shi understood that the Dryad's calm surface was struggling, and it seemed that the only thing that could restrain it from turning into a demon was Heaven and Hell. Shen Shi didn't think about it and said, "I believe it." ”

The abbot said, "Where is Heaven, and where is Hell?"

He looked at Shen Shi eagerly. "For a thousand years, I have never seen heaven and I have never seen hell. Can you tell me?"

The dryad's voice gradually changed, and a female voice came out.

It seems that the Dryad Grandma is really about to appear......
