"Outside of the six realms of Buddhism, has anyone transcended?" Looking at these scriptures, Mu Feng couldn't help but ponder.
"The Buddha's cultivation is empty in the end, so why do the disciples of the Buddhist family still go to Zen Dao?" Mu Feng was puzzled.
"Jingzhen, I've gone to the Dharma Hall to listen to the abbot's lecture on the scriptures. "On this day, the monk came to remind Mu Feng again.
"Okay!" Mu Feng replied, then put down the scriptures in his hand and got up to go to the Dharma Hall.
The Dharma Hall of Tianyin Temple is extremely wide, which can accommodate all the monks of Tianyin Temple, and generally give lectures to the disciples are some of the senior monks, after Mu Feng came to the Dharma Hall, he habitually sat down by the door, and all the monks who entered and exited here regretted passing through this.
Knock knock... When the bell rang, the disciples first bowed to the Buddha, and then the monks began to preach.
"Disciples, today we are here to talk about the Buddha, my Buddha is compassionate, why do you call me Buddha compassion?
Most of the monks who listened to the lecture shook their heads, and for some reason, one of the disciples stood up and said, "Monk, haven't you always said that?
"Definitely. The monk who preached the scriptures said, "All sentient beings are born with suffering, and only by letting go of everything and cultivating the highest goodness can we transcend, become a Buddha on the ground, cultivate great compassion, and purify all sentient beings." ”
"Senior monk, have we Buddha masters cultivated in addition to great compassion?" a monk asked.
"This, the Buddha Master has naturally cultivated great compassion, otherwise how can he teach sentient beings how to stay away from suffering, and how can he create our Buddhist mind. The old monk said.
Mu Feng glanced at the prison monk who was preaching, at first Mu Feng felt that this old monk was a little familiar, but Mu Feng couldn't remember where he had seen it, so Mu Feng still listened.
"Holy monk, the highest state of our cultivation is the Buddha Lord, may I ask if the Buddha Lord is an immortal?" asked a monk.
"This old man doesn't know, immortal, doesn't know if existence exists. The old monk said, "Today we talk about Buddha, not about immortals." ”
At this time, Mu Feng stood up and said, "Senior monk, everything the Buddha said is empty, and in the end, everything is empty, so why do we still practice Buddhism?"
The old monk who was preaching the scriptures glanced at Mu Feng, and suddenly his face changed slightly, but soon he recovered his expression and said: "The realm of Buddhism is empty in the end, in fact, otherwise, in the end, everything is empty, and there is only one thing that can be done, that is, to help the sentient beings in the reincarnation to be free from suffering and happy, and finally to transcend the six realms, and the highest state we seek is to purify sentient beings." ”
"High monk, you say reincarnation, is there reincarnation in the world?" Mu Feng said.
"People who are not detached are reincarnated in the six realms, but they have lost themselves, and our Dharma is to save these monks. The old monk said, and then the old monk said to Mu Feng: "What is your law name?"
"The disciple's Dharma name is Jingzhen, and he is a registered disciple. Mu Feng replied.
"Which monk's named disciple?" the old monk asked again.
"The disciple doesn't know, the disciple has forgotten what happened before, and he only knows that the disciple is a registered disciple of our Tianyin Temple. Mu Feng said.
The old monk who lectured nodded, "Wait a minute, after the lecture is over, you stay, the old man has something to say to you." ”
"Yes. Mu Feng said, Mu Feng also felt that this old man was familiar, but Mu Feng just couldn't remember where he had seen this old man.
"If you don't forgive sentient beings, if you don't forgive sentient beings, you're crying for yourself..."
"The first concept of learning Buddhism is to never look at the faults of sentient beings, you look at the faults of sentient beings, you will always pollute yourself, you will not be able to practice at all..."
"The reason why man suffers is that he pursues the wrong thing..."
The old monk gave the disciples a long time to the scriptures, and half a day passed quietly, and when the lecture ended, Mu Feng stayed, wondering what the old monk wanted to do with him.
After all the disciples of Tianyin Temple had left, the old monk who preached the scriptures spoke: "Child, why did you come to Tianyin Temple? Don't you still have a lot of things to do? It is necessary to let go of everything in the past and devote oneself to cultivating Buddhism in order to achieve great success. ”
"Monk, do you know me?" Mu Feng said in surprise.
"Of course I know, your name is Mu Feng, and you saved our grandfather back then?" broke the old monk who preached.
"I also know that my name is Mu Feng, but I forgot what happened to me before. Mu Feng said.
"No wonder you didn't recognize me, the Buddha didn't forget the previous memory, your situation is a bit special, you shouldn't have amnesia. The old monk said, "My name is Banshan, a few years ago you brought our father and daughter to the Fengchan Continent, and soon after, Master Kong Yuan asked me to come and teach the scriptures to the disciples, do you remember Banlan? She still remembers you!"
"Banlan, who is she?" Mu Feng said.
"Child, it seems that you really have amnesia, Banlan is my granddaughter, you taught her to cultivate back then, and now her cultivation has grown a lot. The old man said in the middle of the mountain.
"That sounds pretty good. Mu Feng said.
"Child, you are also a hard-working person, you fainted for more than four months before you woke up, and now you have amnesia, are you really suitable for cultivating Buddhism?" said the old man in the middle of the mountain.
"I don't know, but I can see the Dharma, the Dharma, which is to cultivate the mind, and after cultivating it, I find that my heart is more calm. Mu Feng said.
"If you can't remember, forget it, it's okay to forget the past, Banlan's child also lives near Tianyin Temple, and when I go back, I will tell her that you also came to Tianyin Temple, and she should be very happy to come." The old man smiled at the half-level level.
Mu Feng nodded, "Senior monk, I am in the Scripture Pavilion every day, and my residence is also arranged near the Scripture Pavilion, if you look for me first, you can go there directly." ”
"That's very good. The old man said in the middle of the mountain.
"It's okay, the disciple will go back first. Mu Feng said, the old man in the middle of the mountain nodded, and then Mu Feng left.
As soon as Mu Feng returned to his residence, he tried his best to recall his previous memories, but the memories seemed to be covered by a layer of sandpaper, not letting Mu Feng remember, Mu Feng only vaguely knew that he still had a story before, and then Mu Feng had a splitting headache, so that Mu Feng couldn't think about it anymore.
"I must remember what I experienced before, but why did I forget what happened before?" Mu Feng was puzzled and muttered to himself.
