"You make your own decision about this, and you choose which is more important, but I think you still have to spend more time on cultivation. Although your spiritual root is much better now than before, you can't slack off before your cultivation has reached the spiritual infancy stage. The demon said.

"Those who listen to the big brother of the demon are the first to cultivate, and the others can be put away. Zhao Shi felt that what the demon said was reasonable, so he decided to wait until he met Zhang Quan to say what he thought.

At midnight, the Extreme Yang Gate seemed to be quiet, and even the sound of insects could not be heard, and everything seemed to have fallen asleep. At this time, Zhao Shi came out of the cave, looked around, and flew in the direction of the elixir Zhai with the clouds.

Because he was not in a hurry, Zhao Shi appreciated the quiet night, which was like a thick inkstone, so deep that it could not be dissolved. Zhao Shi looked up at the night sky again, the night sky was like a navy blue curtain, dotted with shining stars, which made him deeply intoxicated.

"I didn't expect the night to be so soft, and I missed this beautiful scenery for the sake of cultivating immortals, if it wasn't for the night call of Zhang Zhangzuo, it is estimated that I would continue to miss it and I didn't know it. Thinking of this, Zhao Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, why did you sigh?" Seeing Zhao Shi's appearance, the demon asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel that after living for more than 20 years, I haven't lived a day like now, I have no desires, and I live with a purpose at any other time, and I feel very tired and miserable. Zhao Shi took a deep breath and felt the breath of nature, which seemed to be touched in every way.

"Your current state of mind is what Buddhism calls no desires and no desires. I was amazed that you could escape into such a state of mind so quickly, and I used to have to contemplate at least one day before I could escape. The demon felt Zhao Shi at this moment, and was so surprised that he couldn't help it. "Presumably, it must have been influenced by the Dao Seal of the World. The demon thought for a moment and guessed.

"No desire, no desire, state of mind?" Zhao Shi asked, not understanding what the demon meant.

"There are four major states of mind in cultivating Buddhism, and every time you retreat into one of them, you can greatly improve and stabilize your state of mind. Although the stability of the state of mind does not help much for cultivation, the higher the realm, the more likely it is to produce inner demons, resulting in an unstable state of mind. If you don't get rid of the shackles of your demons for a long time, you will definitely be doomed. On the other hand, if the state of mind is stable, it is impossible for the demons to affect the slightest. ”

"What is that? Sounds terrifying. When Zhao Shi heard the word "heart demon" said by the demon, his face couldn't help but change, revealing a look of fear.

"The inner demon, simply put, is the root of 'evil', and gradually grows and becomes the inner demon. Everyone has the root of 'evil', and the root of this 'evil' is extremely difficult to cut off and eliminate, because it is born of 'good'. If there is 'good', there will be 'evil', and the demons will be quietly born. ”

"Isn't there a way to get rid of this 'evil'?" Zhao Shi hurriedly asked.

"Naturally, there is a way, unless you have attained the supreme enlightenment of the four major states of mind. Otherwise, the root cause of 'evil' will be inexhaustible and uninterrupted. ”

"Brother Demon Demon, what are the four major states of mind you are talking about?" Zhao Shi couldn't help but be curious when he heard the four major states of mind that Demon said several times, and asked.

"The first of the four major states of mind of Buddhism is the state of mind you are in now, with no desires and no desires. The second state of mind is truth, goodness, and beauty, and 'truth' is 'true self' and 'true it'. The 'true self' is the beginning of the original man, eternal existence, innocent and innocent. 'True it' is the supreme, omniscient and omnipotent, and ever-changing. 'Goodness' is the original mind, awareness, wisdom, consciousness upward, conversion to the truth, public and selfless. 'Beauty' is rich in connotation and far-reaching in meaning, such as tasting nectar, refreshing people's hearts and lungs, and making people feel refreshed and happy. Truth, goodness and beauty can be summed up as the seeing wisdom of the true, the great goodness of the wise, the knowledge of the good, the awareness of the knowing, and the refuge of the enlightened. ”

When the demon talked about the second state of mind and began to explain, Zhao Shi listened to the profound words of this Zen principle, although it was obscure, but he could hear it attentively.

"Brother Demon Demon, I didn't expect 、、、 your comprehension of the Buddha to be so profound, and when I heard such a Zen-rich mantra, I felt that my heart was as clear as a cloudless sky. Zhao Shi couldn't help but be excited, and said to the demon.

"Hehe、、、 that's right, my study of Buddha is not the slightest. The demon said proudly, and suddenly he realized that what he said was wrong, "This 、、、 I 、、、 I only went to see the old bald donkey's things when I was fine, but I didn't expect to understand it at a glance." ”

"Hehe、、、 Brother Demon Demon, you can go on and talk about what the third major state of mind is. Zhao Shi smiled, didn't expose and make fun of the demon, and was busy asking about the third state of mind.

"The third major state of mind is superlife and death, which is easy to understand, but there are too few people who can really achieve superlife and death, even if I am now, I can't do it. It would not be so easy to see through life and death, otherwise I would not have a wisp of spirit lodged in your body and survived. Speaking of this, the demon's tone was full of sadness, and he suddenly seemed to fall into confusion.

"Brother Demon, God has the virtue of a good life, not to mention us, and we naturally cherish our lives in a thousand ways. Although I don't know if what I said can make a difference, Zhao Shi believes that it is better to say it than not to say it.

You are right, if you live, there is hope, you can change the present and make up for the mistakes and regrets you have made in the past. Being mentioned by Zhao Shi like this, the demon really figured it out, and the whole person suddenly became energetic.

"What about the last state of mind?" Zhao Shi asked with a smile.

"The fourth state of mind is supreme enlightenment. As I said just now, as long as you can achieve this state of mind, you can completely cut out the demons in your heart. The first two states of mind are only a matter of time, and it is possible to achieve them in a short period of time or a thousand years. But the last two states of mind are very difficult, especially the last one, and as far as I know, no one in the spiritual world has come to understand it. ”

"It seems that Buddhism is so vast and profound that even imagination cannot touch it. Zhao Shi's heart was shocked, and he became more and more yearning and reverence for cultivating Buddha.

"I vaguely feel that the four major states of mind of this Buddhism have a great relationship with the Dao seal of the world, but I carefully observed the seven-colored rainbow bridge in your body and found that there was no change in the slightest, it was really strange, do you feel the difference?"

"Nothing different. Zhao Shi said after feeling it carefully.

"That seems to be my feeling wrong. The demon had no choice but to put down the thoughts in his heart for the time being.
