33. The Tao Buddha discerns, and explains in detail the two Zens of Zhilin dialect

Bo fainted in the Chinese military tent, talking with Xiao Ming Wang Ranyue, Xiao Ming Wang Ran Yue brought more than a dozen Toutuo to the army, preparing to assassinate the enemy general.

Ran Yue and Bo Duan are working together for the second time, although Bo Duan is not optimistic about Ran Yue, but he still talks and laughs with Ran Yue, but he is anxiously waiting for Yi Zhen's reply in his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Bo fainted and heard that it was Yizhen, and hurriedly stood up, and then laughed more and more: "It seems that the matter is done, and we have nothing to do." ”

"How does Coats know?" asked Bo, bewildered.

"The person who came should be Yizhen, I can tell from the footsteps that Yizhen, and his footsteps are brisk, it should be done. Ran Yue also said with a smile.

As soon as the tent door was lifted, Yi Zhen came in, his face was full of joy, and when he saw Bo fainting, he arched his hand: "Yi Zhen does not disgrace his mission." ”

"Okay! I'll ask Zheng Hou for credit! This way the soldiers and horses finally retreated. "It is also a great joy to be unconscious.

Ran Yue smiled on the side: "Okay, there is nothing to do with me, I heard that the Qi army has arrived in Pingyang, and Baili Rui is also in the army, and there are strangers in the other army, I want to meet them." ”

......

In the past few days, Mo Xian has encountered several assassins, all of which are aimed at Gongzi Rui, but under the protection of Mo Xian, Xie Cao'er, Dao Xuan and Dao Zhen, he killed several incoming assassins, although the assassins did not reveal their identities, but Mo Xian guessed from their methods that they were among the thirty-six ghosts.

Gongzi Rui's face turned pale at first, but after experiencing it more times, it became normal, but when he looked at Mo Xian and the others, his eyes also became hot, and he promised many times in private to win over Mo Xian and the others, but Mo Xian just smiled.

Bai Wuchang still had a mask on his face, and he didn't seem to take it to heart after several failed assassinations: "Another miss, have you figured out the strength of the guards around Bai Lirui?"

"Envoy, they seem to be cultivators, people from the two Taoist sects, and people from the two Buddhist sects, and they shouldn't be Baili Rui's guards. ”

"I know that there are cultivators in the Qi army, and there are also warlock troops, and the leader of the cultivators is Jing'an, and the cultivation is close to the Arhats, but his focus is to prevent Meng Ming from being assassinated by us, Lu Ru, the empty line of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Yaksha Division, you take five of your subordinates to get the head of Baili Rui. Bai Wuchang's tone did not change, and he still said calmly.

"Envoy, don't worry, we don't need so many people at all, it's just four cultivators. Lu Ru said arrogantly.

"Don't be careless, try to be as foolproof as possible. ”

Mo Xian broke through a few days ago, from the fetal breath into the inner ming, although he is still in the state of meditation, in the state of quiet, one heart into the quiet, and there is no thought, but into the inner ming, there seems to be light in the body, into the silence is getting deeper, the body and mind are empty, faintly, not seeing the inside and outside, it seems to be able to see the internal organs.

Mo Xian knew that this was not an inner vision, and now he had just had inner light, and if he continued to practice, he felt that the light was becoming more and more obvious, and the virtual scene would gradually become a real scene, and a real internal vision would appear, and the meridians, internal organs, and acupuncture points of the whole body would be observed.

Mo Xian entered the inner ming, and his momentum changed, and he was seen by Daoxuan, and Daoxuan congratulated: "Amitabha, congratulations to Daoist friends on their progress in cultivation!"

The other two also congratulated, and Mo Xian said: "Tongxi, I have made progress recently, but unfortunately I am not in the mountains, I cannot be clean, and it is difficult to devote myself wholeheartedly, I really hope that the war will end soon." ”

"We also hope that the war will end and we will return to the temple as soon as possible to participate in meditation and enlightenment. Dao Xuan said.

"Fellow Daoist, the last time you talked about the Four Zens, you just briefly said the Four Zen realms, and when I entered the inner mind, I saw that the body and mind were empty, and I didn't see the inside and outside, as if in the first Zen, the same is true. Mo Xian said.

"When you were cultivating, which Dao did you cultivate?"

"I'm building Huangting Avenue. ”

"The Huang Ting Sutra is similar to my Buddhism's visualization of the Dharma, but my Buddhism visualizes the Bodhisattva, the Buddha and the Vajra, while the Huang Ting Sutra visualizes the gods within oneself, but your Dao Sect is attached to qi, and it is difficult to enter the void. Dao Xuan said.

Mo Xian smiled, he didn't want to argue with Dao Xuan on this issue, both Dao and Buddha said that they were smart, Mo Xian looked at it, these were pointless disputes.

Xie Cao'er's face was uncertain, and Mo Xian made a look: "This kind of argument is of little significance to us, let the upper echelons of Taoism and Buddhism argue, I want to hear what is said in Zen Buddhism." ”

After one day or seven days, I suddenly feel that my body and mind are condensed, and my luck moves, and I feel that my body is like a cloud and a shadow, or from above, or from the bottom, or from the waist, and gradually permeates the whole body, causing sixteen touches, that is, moving, cool, warm, light, heavy, astringent and slippery, which are the first eight touches, and the last eight touches are similar, for dropping, cold, hot, floating, sinking, hard and soft, the former is thicker, the latter is thinner.

This is the beginning of the Zen launch, Zen is also known as the branch of the forest, meaning the forest of all branches, the beginning of the Zen a total of five branches: a sense of the branch, two view of the branch, three joy branch, four music branch, five heart branch, these five branches in turn, get two merits, one for the departing virtue, two for the good heart. ”

When it comes to meditation, Taoism immediately eyebrows fluttering, Buddhism is different from Taoism, its basic practice, it can be seen in the Buddhist scriptures, it is clear and clear, not conservative at all, this is also the reason why Buddhism can be widely spread, of course, its practice can be public, but its magic power, it does not appear in the Buddhist scriptures, for the secret.

In the Taoist scriptures, it is often a hidden language, and those who do not understand it read it, often like falling into a fog, which is also the difference between the general transmission and the secret tradition, if there is no teacher who wants to practice, Buddhism is indeed more convenient than Taoism.

In the Taoist statement, there are still some concepts that are different from the world, and we must not expect the literal meaning to be meaningful, but we must find out their meaning.

Sense: The feeling of physical contact with the outside world. The perception at this time is the state of mind of the first Zen, not the perception of the realm of desire.

Observation: Inner observation. The difference between them is that perception is a coarser mind, while contemplation is a more detailed observation of the mind.

Hi: The feeling of inner joy. Those who have entered the first meditation find themselves for the first time that they have entered the first meditation, out of the realm of desire, without the troubles of the realm of desire, and they are very happy in their hearts in concentration, that is joy.

Happiness: The happiness felt by the five roots of the body. Therefore, entering the first meditation is also called "the joy of leaving life", which means that because the mind of renunciation (the realm of desire) gives rise to feelings of love and happiness, that is, the detachment from virtue, and when it reaches the level of the first meditation, you have to taste the happiness of the first meditation, and you know that you are not losing by becoming a monk.

Single-mindedness: The mind remains immobile in a state of concentration. Yixin also translates to 'one-state of mind'.

"So what kind of realm is the second Zen, and how to enter the second Zen heaven from the first Zen heaven?" Mo Xian asked again.

He went on to say: "When a person enters the first meditation and continues to practice, he will find that the mind of enlightenment and contemplation is very coarse, and the so-called 'enlightenment' is the feeling of the environment, and the 'contemplation' is the generation of all kinds of thoughts. If you want to enter the second meditation, you must give up all kinds of happiness of the first meditation and get tired of the first meditation, so that you can enter the second meditation, get out of the first meditation, enter the second meditation of the conscious non-contemplative concentration, and get tired of it, from the conscious non-contemplation to the unconscious non-contemplation, the two meditations have four branches, the inner pure branch, the joy branch, the happy branch and the one-heart branch, and give birth to three kinds of merits, namely, renunciation, kindness, and faith and respect. ”

Dao Xuan also said that he explained in detail the various phenomena in meditation, because Dao Xuan had only reached the second Zen, and he had no experience in the three Zens, the four Zens, and the four colorless meditations, so he did not say auspiciously.

Mo Xian compared Daoxuan's experience with himself, but he knew that these were two systems, on the surface, they were very similar, but they were fundamentally different in terms of foundation.

In Buddhism, it is believed that this is the color method, and what Buddhism pursues is to completely annihilate everything, and only the knowledge of the coming is the foundation.

In Mo Xian's practice, he started from himself, and did not find that his heart was bored, but unconsciously, he entered the next layer, and each layer had different effects.

What is the difference between these two systems, Mo Xian wants to study deeply, but because he can't cultivate himself, he can't study deeply, he will not give up the cultivation of Huangting Dao, after all, this is his foundation, but he will not be conservative, he can attack jade with the stone of the mountain, in a word, he does not have the view of Taoism and Buddhism.

Although Xie Cao'er was dissatisfied with Dao Xuan and belittled Daomen, she was a smart person, not a stubborn person, and she also knew that the stones of his mountains could attack jade, and she listened very carefully.

While they were discussing the Dao, their senses were not completely focused on the Dao, it was getting late, Mo Xian's eyes flashed, and Dao Xuan also closed his mouth suddenly, and the four of them all stopped, because they felt that there were cultivators approaching.

Mo Xian lowered his head, secretly counting in his heart, there are six people in total, yes, they are coming for Gongzi Rui.

He raised his head, looked at the other three people, made a gesture, everyone nodded, and quietly dispersed, Mo Xian was like a wave, drowning in the guards, not disappearing among them, but with their breath, if you are not careful, you will automatically ignore Mo Xian.

Lu Ru, the empty line of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Yaksha Division, and his five subordinates, in the dark, their bodies were like wisps of smoke, sneaking into the camp of the Qi army, and the soldiers patrolling the Qi army passed in front of them, as if they couldn't see it at all.

Dao Xuan and Dao Zhen had already arrived at Gongzi Rui's side, Gongzi Rui looked at them in surprise, Dao Xuan smiled slightly, but Dao Zhen made a gesture, Gongzi Rui understood, and his guards were also shocked at this time, not that they found something, but that Dao Xuan's actions were too familiar, and the first few assassinations, it was like this.

They all stood in their respective positions, their swords unsheathed.

Mo Xian felt the arrival of the assassin, and his heart was shocked, this time it was actually cultivators, they were very clever in hiding and hiding, and even Mo Xian couldn't accurately locate it.

Mo Xian's hand flipped over, and the six thin rays of light flashed away, and he laid down the Liuhe needle.

Xie Cao'er quietly smashed a golden light talisman into the tent, and with a slight flash of inspiration, it disappeared, Mo Xian glanced at her, nodded, after a few assassinations, she was much more savvy.

Four black smoke suddenly appeared in the air, hitting the four of Mo Xian.
