241 times, returning to the human heart is hell, and the world has immeasurable light in all directions

Qiao Jue's eyes were clear and profound, and the moment Mei Zhenyi looked at him, his divine sense was like falling into an endless unknown abyss. The Yang God left his body and followed the soul of the courtyard and entered a strange world, where there was nothing in this world.

Mei Zhenyi himself has not changed, the yang god is a transcendent divine consciousness, not only an abstract, transcendent consciousness of existence, it can be virtual or real, which is equivalent to a free body and mind that has gained great freedom. All kinds of supernatural powers are sufficient, and supernatural powers can be observed as seen by mortals, and "the god of the sun is the earth immortal" is not a lie.

Of course, Mei Zhenyi could see it, but there was nothing around, boundless darkness, and nothing for him to see. He could hear everything, but there was no sound, it was completely silent. He didn't know where he was, and at first he had a sense of falling all the way down, and in a trance it seemed like a sense of floating all the way up.

What is this place? If everything doesn't exist, you have the illusion that you don't even exist, as if all consciousness and senses are going to dissipate.

Is this the Boundless Mysterious Fangguang World? Mei Zhenyi once "saw" Qingfeng briefly entering and exiting the Boundless Mysterious Fangguang World in the Entry View, but that was not his own personal experience after all, and he felt a little similar and different, but he couldn't say what the difference was.

If a person "dies", does he disappear from the world, or does the original world disappear from him?

If a person disappears from the world and never returns, is he "dead" for that world?

This is the definition of death that philosophers have discussed, and Mei Zhenyi naturally thought of this question when she entered this world. Thinking together, the five senses immediately saw, what they saw was not around, but all kinds of thoughts aroused in the spiritual platform, and all the experiences in this life, including before the crossing, flashed one by one - the bardo and light realm!

This moment is a lifetime. The bardo light realm rose, Mei Zhenyi shouted, and drank the "bardo light realm" in the spirit platform. He already has the cultivation of the sea of suffering, of course, he can not be disturbed by the bardo light realm, and he does not want to be snooped on by the Jizo Bodhisattva.

After drinking through the bardo light realm, and returning to the world of nothingness, Mei Zhenyi drank "flags!" again, and the real form appeared in the void, and the white soul refining banner appeared in his hand and shook. The divine consciousness unfolded, and white light shot out, wanting to illuminate the boundless darkness.

At this time, Qiao Jue's voice was heard in his consciousness: "What is a bodhisattva?"

With this question, the world changed, and Mei Zhenyi suddenly found herself sitting on the altar of the Jizo Bodhisattva, not at a time and in one place, incarnated in countless dojos, and what she saw in front of her was overwhelming.

In the patio of the Jiulin Zen Temple. Mingyue frowned and said, "Bodhisattva, are you blocking his way?"

Jizo: "Here, don't call me Bodhisattva, just call me Qiao Jue." ”

Mingyue: "Okay, Monk Qiao Jue. With your fruit position and his cultivation, if you don't stop talking, if you reason with you when he comes back, you can only talk to him calmly. ”

Qiao Jue smiled: "Master Mei and Qiao Jue Monk." Of course there is something to say. ”

Mingyue shook her head and said very seriously: "You are wrong, he just wants to find the theory of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, just like when he made a contract in Pengze." But you are not a promiscuous adulterer, but what you have said is a fixed one. ...... Do you know anything about Peng Ze's list? Let me tell you. ”

Mei Zhenyi inexplicably sat on the throne of Jizo Bodhisattva, heard the voices of all the people praising merits, and was a little carried away for a moment, and then heard the prayers and prayers of countless people.

The first thing he felt was a deep sense of fear. It is rumored that Jizo Bodhisattva is the leader of the Netherworld, and many people are afraid of what will happen after their death, and they worship Jizo Bodhisattva in front of him, trying to eliminate their sinful karma or seek blessings for their descendants.

There are also many people who like to worship the Bodhisattva indiscriminately, and run to the Jizo Seat to seek wealth, sex, fame, children, and development. Things have been different throughout the ages, but the desires and desires are the same, such as the people of later generations praying for the Bodhisattva to bless the success of the college entrance examination, and the Tang people praying for the Ming Jing to enter the department.

There are also people who vent their grievances in front of the bodhisattva. Someone does too many bad things. Ask the Bodhisattva to take him to hell! How can someone not die? If a neighbor has built a high-rise building with money and power, the Bodhisattva will punish him for setting fire to his house! Someone borrowed money from me and didn't pay it back. Please curse him.

All these desires linger, and the mind cannot be settled. There are good thoughts, there are evil thoughts, and more are the constant thoughts of indescribable cause and effect, right and wrong, for example, a man admires a certain woman, but a certain woman's heart is towards others, so a certain man prays for the Bodhisattva to be fulfilled, how can this kind of thing be fulfilled?

Mei Zhenyi heard that it was not one person after another praying in turn, but ten thousand thoughts of unity, reflecting all the ecology in the world. He was determined to keep the situation undisturbed, and understood that Jizo did not mean that he should solve these desires, but that he would answer the question he had just asked in this situation: what is a bodhisattva's behavior?

Mei Zhenyi's first thought was the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", because the beginning of the Heart Sutra is: "When contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when you walk deep in Prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all suffering." ”

However, he replied in his thoughts: "My master Sun Zhenren taught the sincerity of a great doctor, and the suffering of physical diseases always helps the people of the world, cures the sick, and maintains the health of the disease to the end of the day." ”

Yang Shen is beyond the furnace, outside his body and exists, his mouth is his heart, what he says is his true understanding, and there is no false talk about it. As soon as I answered this honestly, what I saw in front of me changed subtly.

It is still the unity of all thoughts, but not in front of the bodhisattva's seat, but the various thoughts of all beings in the world seen by the eyes of the Dharma, which are in the same vein as what he just sought, but have subtle changes, accompanied by all kinds of criticism and resentment. First of all, there are all kinds of curses - there are so many bad people in the world, why don't Bodhisattvas let them go to hell?

There are also those who secretly stir their hearts - I should remove all obstacles, the world should be for me. But he couldn't see clearly where the obstacles he wanted to remove were, and he himself became an obstacle to be removed in the desires of others.

There are more people expressing disappointment and dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the surroundings, dissatisfaction with the family and country, dissatisfaction with the ancestors, and dissatisfaction with the gods and Buddhas,—— why am I here today, unable to stand on the world and raise my eyebrows? Why was I born in such a world?

All these desires are intertwined. It is the entanglement, restriction and conflict of all thoughts in this world that has pushed the history of the world forward and created all kinds of "gong" and "karma". However, Mei Zhenyi understood that Jizo did not want him to explain the deeds of all beings in this world, or to answer the question in this situation - what is a bodhisattva?

"Looking at the world is like one person, all thoughts become one thought, and nature is clear. Mei Zhenyi replied.

This is tantamount to opening the law. jumped out of the entanglement of Fang Cai's desires. What you see in front of you is different, and it has become all kinds of "deeds" of all living beings that you have just seen, some are worthy of admiration, some are worth sighing, some are worth regretting, some are ridiculous, some are hateful. All beings in the world are one, showing thousands of people and thousands of faces. And the trip of one person can also see many people with many facets.

Mei Zhenyi didn't look any further, and replied directly: "Everything in the world is taken by all beings, and where they go is where they come from, and reincarnation is like this." The same is true of change. Where compassion comes from, so does the netherworld. ”

After answering in three sentences, everything returned to silence, and Mei Zhenyi disappeared from the throne of Jizo Bodhisattva. Back to the boundlessness of nothing.

Mei Zhenyi shook the soul refining banner again, and this time he used the method of receiving, and the boundless dark world around him seemed to be surging around him, disappearing into invisibility in the light. Since it can't break through the boundless darkness, then take all the surrounding voids into the soul refining flag, there is always something visible in this netherworld.

As soon as the spell was unfolded, he heard Qiao Juedi's voice shouting and asking, "What is immeasurable light?"

Jizo Bodhisattva is too much of a bully, isn't it? It's not enough to ask about "bodhisattva behavior" on the bodhisattva's seat, and then ask "immeasurable light" in this boundless world! But this time it's not a question. Instead, he asked and answered himself, and then Mei Zhenyi heard the sound of singing from all directions-

"The immeasurable light shines on the ten worlds, the ten worlds are self-bright, the ten worlds are in my light, and there is no one in the ten worlds who is not me. ”

With the singing, Mei Zhenyi was suddenly touched, and her mind began to enter the realm of "view of all beings", and her own light illuminated the netherworld.

What can be seen in the netherworld? It is the netherworld after the "death" of all beings that I saw on the throne. What is the difference between the "Netherworld" and the "Bardo Bright Realm" that Qingming looks back on his life? In fact, it covers everything in the Bardo Bright Realm. But there are other feelings. It makes the experience clearer.

How to describe it? Mei Zhenyi's first reaction was that this Netherworld was very similar to Heavenly Punishment, but it was completely different from Heavenly Punishment. Events in a lifetime. All the traces left by the interaction with spiritual beings in the world have been returned.

For example, Zhang San once framed Li Si, and he would feel the pain of Li Si's experience of being framed, and while re-witnessing this incident in his lifelong memories, whether Li Si himself knew about it or not.

Why is it different from the Heavenly Punishment? Because these people are already "dead", their physical bodies have died, and only a wisp of divine consciousness has entered the Netherworld, and they are in an absolute state of wake, neither unconscious nor evasive. Take a knife to cut the ribs, the pig will not hurt, because the pig is dead, in fact, everything that a person has endured on the ground is only meaningful if it is transformed into the perception of the heart.

In the Netherworld, it is pure spiritual perception, reflecting all the traces left in this life, at the same time as the Yin Light Realm returns. The feelings brought to others by one's life are reflected back with the experience of a lifetime, empathetic, intertwined, superimposed, and counteracted.

Mei Zhenyi suddenly thought of a comment: "The underworld is not deceiving, and the human heart is hell." ”

Thinking of the word "hell" in my heart, together with this thought, the sentient beings are more determined in the view, as if they have entered another layer of deeper insight and knowledge, "his heart" is naturally sufficient, and he involuntarily launches, and there is no one in the view who is not me, and the mentality of the sentient beings in front of me who experience the netherworld is just like their own feelings.

There are all kinds of joy, anger, sweetness, and sorrow, as well as boundless fear and trembling, whether they are rich or poor, strong or weak in life, at this time there is a wisp of divine consciousness that cannot be escaped, and everyone has something in their hearts.

Mei Zhenyi also had some feelings, and together with this thought, the view went deeper into the realm, and entered the realm derived from everyone's feelings, and saw the "reincarnation mind" that sentient beings experienced the netherworld and was born from it.

What is the mind of samsara? It's hard to describe, but to use an analogy, while experiencing the netherworld, sentient beings will involuntarily derive a kind of mind—I have already understood everything in this life, including all the true words and deeds of all the people I deal with, what would I do if I started from scratch?

Someone is thinking about how to kill the enemy. Some people are imagining how to seduce the little lady next door, some people are imagining how to make a fortune in business, and some people are imagining going to the battlefield to be a general and win a big victory. It looks very cool, but it is a natural place to feel along with the memories of the Netherworld, and it is refracted by another kind of "remorse".

In the netherworld, there is nowhere to hide the pure spiritual perception, and the reincarnation of the heart is together. Remorse followed, like a tide, the divine consciousness was involved, Mei Zhenyi's concentration was further advanced, and what she saw changed again.

The "remorse" in the netherworld does not refer to the regret that someone has had in their life, and it is not necessarily related to whether they regret it before or after life. Rather, it is a reflection of the life's achievements of experiencing the netherworld, and the clear and unmistakable feeling for others because of what I have suffered, naturally derives the reincarnation mind. and clearly reflects the "remorse".

It does not depend on your desires and wills. It's not that you don't want to say "I don't want to", but it is directly imprinted in your mind, which is a kind of in-depth analysis of the state of mind, clear and nowhere to hide. "Secluded" means "deep", and "underworld" means "dark".

The above statement seems to be an understatement. But put yourself in your shoes, this layer of netherworld is really "terrifying"!

Mei Zhenyi began to think about the meaning of this netherworld, and together with this thought, he entered a deeper realm. The netherworld is dissected and displayed layer by layer, and the pen and ink are indescribable. Mei Zhenyi also understood where the origin of the folk legend "Eighteen Layers of Hell" came from?

What is the view of going into the deepest depths? For example, Ming Chongyan and the like. The history of the soul captured in a lifetime, the underworld is like suffering from the soul of the retained soul, and it follows almost without beginning and end. The merits of one's life are felt little or none, and the weight of suffering cannot be relieved in layers of state of mind, so that they fall into the deepest darkness.

Mei Zhenyi thought of a word - "Infernal Affairs", or Abi Hell. How does "a moment" correspond to "infernal"? A moment in the human world is a lifetime in the middle and light realm, or it may be a near-beginningless and endless life in the netherworld.

It turns out that nothing has changed in this netherworld. What sentient beings experience is still the moment at the end of a lifetime, the "Yin Light Realm". Jizo Bodhisattva did not add anything out of thin air, but only dissected it layer by layer into the netherworld in the transformation of the spiritual platform, and sentient beings imprinted this unforgettable memory into the alayya consciousness and then entered the samsara.

This is the fate of the previous life, although it cannot be seen or described, but it has its own mysteries.

Mei Zhenyi's view of the law has been clear, and he has left the fixed state layer by layer, returning to the underworld seen by the "reincarnation heart". Shake the banner and shouted: "Lift the slip!"

"Mei Gongzi. Is that you?" a woman's voice came, and as the voice moved, it was like a gust of wind that was taken in front of Mei Zhenyi.

Thank God. This little ghost has indeed experienced the sea tribulation in the netherworld and achieved immortal divine consciousness, but he has not yet left. Otherwise, the bardo light realm is only a moment in the human world, and Mei Zhenyi will not be able to bring her back no matter how powerful she is.

Mei Zhenyi waved the soul refining banner to protect Ti Shun, and his body disappeared in the netherworld.

Qiao Jue's face was solemn, there was appreciation in his eyes, and there was also a hint of imperceptible sigh. At this time, there were two neighing sounds of horses outside the gate of Jiulin Zen Temple, and there was the sound of a carriage leaving.

"Who is leaving?" Qiao Jue asked.

Lu Chunyang left with Tiyo. Mingyue replied.

Qiao Jue asked again: "Where is Mei Zhenyi?"

"I'm back, right here! Going in and out of the netherworld, sighing at the great merits of the Bodhisattva, but there is still one more thing to ask. The person who opened his mouth to answer was Mei Zhenyi, who was standing in the courtyard of the patio.

On the ten-mile peach blossom road outside Jingting Mountain, there is a luxurious carriage moving forward unhurriedly, the strange thing is that there is no driver in this car, it is two horses pulling the cart by themselves, as if there is an invisible guide.

Wow, was there unmanned driving in the Tang Dynasty?

There were two people sitting in the carriage, Mei Zhenyi was wearing a Taoist robe, and the hairpin was a golden four-inch sword. Tiyo turned in his arms and hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear as soon as he let go. Mei Zhenyi seemed to be surrounded by a gentle wind, only to hear Ti Xuan say in a trembling voice almost with sobs: "Mei Gongzi, you will go into the Netherworld to find me." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Isn't this what you expected? You have been waiting for me to come, otherwise why didn't you leave?"

"I'm waiting, but when I see Mei Gongzi, I really want to cry!"

Mei Zhenyi said with a smile: "There are no real tears when you cry at the moment, you still laugh, congratulations on your achievements in the sea of hardship, after returning to the mountain, I will use the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill to help you condense your true body furnace." ”

Tiyo smiled, she looked up at Mei Zhenyi with a smile, and asked with some doubts: "Mei Gongzi, I found that you have changed a little, but I can't describe the difference." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "I'm still me, but what you see in front of you is the incarnation of Lu Chunyang that I have just cultivated, and it is the Lu Daochang you saw in your delusional realm." ”

"Why are you still mentioning my delusional realm?" Ti Yu turned his face and said, "I still call you Mei Gongzi, why do you want to separate the incarnation and go back to the mountain with me?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I still have something to reason with Jizo Bodhisattva, and Mingyue Fairy Tong is present to testify." ”

What is the "incarnation" of the immortal realm of the land of "transcendence"? This is not the same thing as the various incarnations of the past generations cut out by the bodhisattvas and golden immortals; strictly speaking, it should be called "yang god transformation clone", but practitioners generally also call it incarnation, and people who understand it will naturally not be confused.

This level of cultivation is very important, especially for Dan Dao cultivators, it is a threshold that must be broken to reach the end of the worldly Fa.
