Chapter 13 Affinity with the Buddha
"Ascetic, do you really want to oppose me for this boy of unknown origin? You have to think clearly, lest there be an accident that will hurt the harmony between you and me. "Without full certainty, Ming Yangzi never made a move, and seemed to be timid and cowardly, but this was the basis for him to survive the Great War of the Gods, and he threatened with an indifferent face.
Who can not be greedy for the innate spirit treasure, and the same is true for the ascetic Arhat, he also wants to share everything on Lin Zhining with Ming Yangzi, but the ascetic knows very well how important a talent who can refine the acquired spirit treasure is to a sect. If Lin Zhining can be admitted to Buddhism, he is completely sure that he will be able to attain the bodhisattva status with this merit.
Putting the Everbright Buddha Gate in the first place, and taking the practice more seriously, he felt that his path was refined again, and he seemed to have strengthened his mind, suppressed his greed, and gained liberation.
"Amitabha, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell. The ascetic Arhat said apologetically, but his tone was extremely firm, and his determination was unshakable.
Ming Yangzi was furious in his heart, he didn't think at all that Lin Zhi would rather accept the help of ascetic arhats, and whether he would like to join Buddhism, because in his opinion, this is obvious, but with the current trend of Buddhism, there are people of insight in the world, who does not want to join Buddhism, even himself, if he didn't want to give up the prestige and power of a patriarch, he would have turned to Buddhism and worshiped Buddhism.
He knew that most of the left ways he had learned were restrained by ascetic arhats, and although his Taoism was profound, he was not the enemy of Lin Zhining and the ascetic arhats, and as for the little Buddhist kung fu he exchanged, it was only worthy of being used to fool people.
"Good, good, you are good, ascetic bald donkey, from this day on, you and I will break off our love. Ming Yangzi's words were full of resentment, full of resentment and unwillingness, staring coldly at the ascetic Arhat, one by one, stepping on the clouds.
A pair of good friends parted ways because of interests and became enemies, Lin Zhining was amazed and very satisfied.
Mingyangzi went away angrily, but in fact he didn't go far, Lin Zhining and the ascetic Arhat didn't point this out. The ascetic arhats may be because they know Ming Yangzi's personality very well, but they don't know that in their opinion, Lin Zhining, who is slightly inferior in cultivation, can see it more clearly than them.
The huge wisdom showed its power for the first time, and Lin Zhining was also in the True Immortal Realm, but the scope of his divine sense observation was not necessarily comparable to that of the Taiyi True Immortal.
After Ming Yangzi returned to the Taoist temple, his face was calm, and he used the technique of water mirror, carefully observing every move here, waiting for the moment when the fisherman would benefit. He didn't know that his disguise and his movements were so obvious and clearly visible in Lin Zhining's divine sense.
The ascetic arhat didn't want to have a fight with Lin Zhining, after defeating him, and then he would enter the Buddha Gate, he also didn't have this self-confidence, he could refine the acquired spirit treasure, even if the cultivation was a little worse, but the Tao was absolutely profound.
"Amitabha, donor, you have a relationship with my Buddha. Ascetic Arhat said with a smile, he was very sure, this is not what he fooled Lin Zhining like Ming Yangzi, this is the truth.
Lin Zhining does have a relationship with the Buddha, but this Buddha is not the Buddha, Lin Zhining's Buddha is not the Buddha of the West Heaven, nor is it the two ancestors of Western Buddhism, but the Zen Buddhism founded by the Dharma Patriarch of later generations, and passed on by Hui Ke and other ancestors of the past dynasties, advocating the Zen Buddhism of "seeing the nature of the mind and seeing the nature of the Buddha".
The people of later generations were deeply influenced by the idea of the confluence of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and it can be said that the universal values of the people of later generations are engraved with the idea of the confluence of the three schools in their bones. And Lin Zhining's most important martial arts enlightenment is the Quanzhen Sect of the three religions, although it focuses on Confucianism and Taoism, but Buddhism is also in his heart.
Lin Zhining has always been influenced by Zen thought, either voluntarily or unconsciously, and the "Acquired Formula" he created also absorbed some Zen thought.
Therefore, as soon as the ascetic arhat saw Lin Zhining, he thought that he was destined for the Buddha, that he was born to be a Buddha, and that by entering the Buddha gate of this scattered Buddha, he would be able to attain the bodhisattva status.
As for Lin Zhining's impure Buddha nature, the Buddha's heart has not been completed, and the Dharma is chaotic, this is not a problem.
Lin Zhining found this problem after the creation of "The Decision of the Acquired Man", since he came to this mythical world, he has formed cause and effect with many people, he gathered the wisdom of the human race, and naturally has a cause and effect with the sages of the human race, but he is originally a human race, as long as what he has learned can be inherited, it is also what the sages are willing to see, and in the same way, understand cause and effect.
However, there are two kinds of things that will be very troublesome, that is, the way of Buddhism, and the practice of Taoism, which is bound to be implicated in the cause and effect of the Three Clears, and the integration of Buddhism is naturally inseparable from Buddhism.
It is good to say that the sage of Taoism is not bad, after all, it is only about the general trend, and preaching is also a wide open mountain gate, and those who wish to come will come, but Buddhism is different, and ambitious Buddhism has always liked to convert monks to get started.
Like Lin Zhining, who is born with Buddha nature and is a wise monk who has participated in Buddhism, he can't let it go.
Lin Zhining's two favorite sentences, one is "Taoist friends, please stay", this sentence has always been a symbol of disaster, especially after Shen Gongbao sent too many people to the god list with this sentence;
Sects bring people rights, status, shelter and other benefits, but they also bring many obligations and, most importantly, loss of freedom, loss of dignity in the sectarian hierarchy.
Lin Zhining painstakingly studied the formation, not entirely for the sake of alchemy, but also the idea of restraining his own aura, with his current cultivation, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be transformed by that ruthless person.
It's a pity that everything came to naught, because the valley was laid with an evil array, because he wanted to verify his cultivation, Lin Zhining was careless, and he still exposed himself. (To be continued.) )
