It is not easy for a temple of Xiaodao to have an ancestor, the patriarch is not something that you can achieve behind closed doors, it is necessary to have a certain merit to match it, and to obtain the recognition of your peers - other Buddhist practice temples - to achieve the achievement, which means that you have your own unique and self-justifying theory in the concept of Buddhism, and have created a cultivation method that matches your theory, only in this way can you be regarded as an ancestor.
If there is a master in the patriarch's temple, it is even more remarkable, because it means that your concept is not only feasible, but also promising and can be further developed, which is a very important step for the progress of your own philosophy.
Only the patriarch's small path temple is like a lonely and arrogant mountain, although it is proud of the others, At a glance, the mountains are small, but the foundation is too shallow, the limitations are too strong, it is difficult to have too much development, and with the small Taoist temple of the ancestors, it has evolved into a mountain range, with a lonely high mountain peak leading, and many small peaks under the background, the whole theory has become infinitely rich, and has become more possibilities, if the time is right, it can even jump up and become a new member of the outer way, which is completely possible: the current outer way, almost all of them have evolved in this way.
Guangji Temple is now walking on this road of no return, and is not tired of it, in the view of this way, this kind of self-defeating type of progress, not only has embarked on the wrong path, but more importantly, it is meaningless in itself, but for the outer way, it is precisely because of this continuous supplement of the trail that they can have the qualification to confront the Dao, it can be said that the trail is to some extent, regarded as a vassal of the outer way, if there is no support from them, the outer way will not be so rampant.
Of course, there are also some trails that will develop towards the Buddhist path, but those trail temples, without exception, will eventually become a branch of a Buddhist temple, and the patriarch will also become a teacher, this kind of status change is not a high-minded monk is willing to bear, so the development of the path has been slow, all supported by the deep foundation laid by the true Buddha.
In Guangji Temple, in addition to Guangji Buddha is the patriarch, there are four ancestors, Minglan Bodhisattva is one of them, it can be seen that his status in Guangji Temple is not low at all, at this time to see the sky, from his attitude can also be seen, Minglan Bodhisattva is not so approachable in front of Zhang Mo: because the attitude of seeing the empty is very respectful, even with a trace of fear.
Hearing Minglan Bodhisattva's instructions, Jiankong hurriedly saluted Zhang Mo and said: "The disciple has seen the emptiness, I have seen the uncle of the heart, the disciple's qualifications are dull, and there is always something wrong with the comprehension of the Dharma, I hope that the uncle can often mention it in the future." ”
Zhang Mo bowed his head lightly, and said without the slightest pretentiousness: "As long as you come to ask, I will naturally give you an answer, we are both in the same lineage as the master, and we should help each other, you don't have to mind." ”
Seeing that Kong Youyou thanked him, he then asked, "Zusi, I don't know which cave the secular residence is, and the disciple will go and prepare for Uncle Shi now." ”
"You don't have to worry about your uncle's cultivation place, from now on, Minglan Xiaozhu is your uncle's residence, if there is anything in the future, just go there to find your uncle. Minglan Bodhisattva thought for a while, and said to Jiankong: "Tomorrow, the patriarch will let your uncle enter the main hall to meet with other ancestors, you tell the disciples that you will come to Minglan Xiaozhu the morning after tomorrow, and let your uncle see him, and he will be sent in the future!"
I don't know what kind of place Minglan Xiaozhu is, Zhang Mo saw that after hearing this sentence, the whole person was not good, as if he had been hit by a great blow, although the words to Minglan Bodhisattva were still inherited, but he no longer had the enthusiasm at the beginning, and the whole person even looked a little lost.
When he saw the sky and left, Minglan Bodhisattva said lightly: "Minglan Xiaozhu is the place where I lived and practiced when I was not the ancestor of this temple, and the environment can only be regarded as average, because I have never let other disciples enter it, so the disciples who sit down always think that the place has other functions, and there are even rumors that there are Buddhist teachings there that can help people understand the Dharma, and there are even rumors that this place is the place where the heirs of our lineage live, and the rumors are not credible." ”
Zhang Mo rolled his eyes, the rumors are not credible, but as soon as he lives in like this, it is not easy to say anything, people's hearts are very strange, there is nothing wrong with the same thing that everyone can't get, once someone gets it, it will immediately attract everyone's resentment, even if it is useless, after clicking for a long time, it will inevitably leave a deep impression in my heart.
Minglan Bodhisattva didn't seem to think of this, and only listened to him continue: "The reason why the teacher let you live in Minglan Xiaozhu is because my cave at this time is very close to Minglan Xiaozhu, and it will be more convenient for us to discuss Buddhism and communicate with each other in the future. ”
Hearing Minglan Bodhisattva's words, Zhang Mo immediately bowed down, and thought in his heart: "No wonder Buddhism can be so prosperous, such a strong desire for knowledge is unimaginable in other places in the extreme martial arts world, a monk in the realm of Jindan Zhenren can put down his body and describe the relationship with each other with words like mutual communication to a person who has no cultivation, and there is a feeling of taking it for granted, this has to be a pious heart for cultivation, it can be done!"
"A person's success may have a fluke element, but the rise of a force and the prosperity of an idea have absolutely no luck. Zhang Mo was a little emotional, and couldn't stop saying: "I didn't understand why Buddhism can be so powerful and proud of the major forces in the extreme martial arts world, but now I finally understand that my own pursuit and exploration of strength is the foundation of Buddhism's strength, not some powerful concept or wonderful exercises." ”
Minglan Bodhisattva glanced at Zhang Mo with some surprise, nodded and said, "It turns out that you are not a native of the Western Desert, you have traveled here?!"
Zhang Mo nodded, and said his identity: "I was originally a person in the Tianyun Empire, and later was sent to Zhengbei County to do things, some time ago the Demon Cave changed greatly, I was involved in the Demon Cave, and I escaped with a life, but I also melted away all my cultivation, and then came to the West Desert, thinking of all the magic of the West Desert, I wanted to come in and have a look, but I didn't expect to find the master's scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and I was fortunate to enter the Guangji Temple." ”
Zhang Mo selectively stated his identity, but none of them were false, no matter what method they used to verify their experience, there would be no omission, not to mention that Zhang Mo had already arranged everything through the Soul Pure Land, and the Prison Party had already dealt with it, and there would definitely be no mistakes: entering the Buddha Gate as him, if it was not arranged, it would be tantamount to looking for death!
Minglan Bodhisattva didn't care and said: "No matter what your identity was before, after entering my Guangji Temple, you are just a disciple of my Guangji Temple, I believe that when you really understand the concept of Guangji Temple in depth and detail, you will not miss the previous life, in this world, there is nothing more comfortable than swimming in the ocean of knowledge, even if it is the improvement of strength, it is far inferior!"
Zhang Mo nodded and said: "I know, this is the art of Buddhism, so that the monks who join it willingly strive for the concept of Buddhism, this is also part of the mystery of Buddhism, I don't think about nostalgia for the previous life, what I think about is how to get what I want in the concept of my Guangji Temple." ”
"You want the real thing?!"
"What I wanted to get was a strong strength before, but now I want to get a strong strength. Zhang Mo is very honest, his biggest concern is the improvement of strength, which is his greatest pursuit, and it will never change, but he said: " However, I now find that before I get a strong strength, I should want to solve some other problems, such as how to get a strong strength, and how to solve various difficulties in improving my strength, and to solve these problems, what is needed is a strong theory, a theory that can accommodate many different theories, and the theory I have now cannot achieve the effect I want. ”
"To be able to tolerate a lot of different theories, then at least you have to reach the level of the outer path to be able to do it, although you have a deep Buddha fate, but whether you can reach this level, you still need to depend on chance. Minglan Bodhisattva obviously didn't know that Zhang Mo said the concept of tolerance, referring to the entire martial arts world, he thought that what Zhang Mo said was only for Guangji Temple, so he encouraged: "Since you have this heart, then do it well, I believe you have the hope of success, and I am willing to provide you with all the help, as long as you can elevate Guangji Temple to the realm of foreign Taoism, you will also become the ancestor of Guangji Temple, enjoy the worship of the disciples of Guangji Temple." ”
"It's not easy to do that, I still have a long way to go, but I think I can succeed. Zhang Mo knew what he was thinking, and he knew how difficult it was to think about it, but he was not afraid of this difficulty, but said with high morale, "Everything in this world is a way to be solved, the reason why there is no solution for the time being, is that there is no right way, not that there is no way to use, I believe that I already have a certain idea and method, I just need to keep moving forward and groping, I will be able to succeed, this is my persistence, but also where my confidence lies." ”
Zhang Mo's fighting spirit is extremely infectious, Minglan Bodhisattva was invisibly affected by Zhang Mo, and thought in his heart: "Since he has a deep Buddha fate, and he has such a thorough and profound understanding of my concept in the conversation with the patriarch, I really have a certain idea, I have to teach what I have learned, if Guangji Temple is really promoted to the outer way because of our lineage, I will have no regrets in this life!"
