Chapter 10: Dreams
Xuan Che has been in this Luojia Mountain for more than a month, during which she has been very idle, but the Buddha has been leading the two Venerables and the three Bodhisattvas to be busy forming formations around the lotus pond. If this disgust escaped from her body, it would also be an extremely troublesome thing, in order to prevent trouble, they formed a very strong Bodhi seal above the lotus pond, and the formation of this Bodhi seal is extremely spiritual power, so after the seal was formed, they have been recuperating in the purple bamboo forest of Guanyin Master. Just wait for the second quarter moon to appear after the full moon on August 15. In Taoism, the moon is yin and the sun is yang, so the night of the full moon is the time when the yin energy is at its highest. In the Taoist saying, there is a saying that the pole of things must be reversed, so the yin pole must be yang, and the yang pole must be yin. When the second quarter moon appears after the full moon, it is the time when the yang energy is at its most victorious at night. Today, it's August 14.
In fact, Xuan Che didn't want to go to the lotus pond, in fact, she was very afraid of the cold. Whenever she felt cold, she remembered the days she spent in Kunlun in those years. What she was afraid of in her heart may not be the cold, but the dark days, the deepest despair, all buried in the snow. He said that he would go back when he went, green mountains and white bones, and those who waited just waited, they must love him, and they must resent him.
Teach her how to forget, teach her how to let go.
She hasn't stepped into the purple bamboo forest for half a step these days, or she doesn't want to enter, or the Buddha deliberately did it. It's okay not to go, she is worried and uncertain.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the full moon on August 15, and Xuan Che came to the edge of the lotus pond early. The reason why this lotus pond is called lotus pond is only because there are a lot of water lilies in this water, which are pink and red, and the fragrance is overflowing. This August 15 is the perfect time for the lotus flower to bloom, and she can also see the lotus flower curling in the water under the moonlight.
When she arrived, the Buddha had already arrived first, but no one else was in sight. The Buddha saw her question and explained with a smile, "I just asked a few of my disciples to come and make the Bodhi seal, and when the seal was finished, they left." Xuan Che nodded slightly, signaling her to understand. He looked up at the sky again, "The moonlight is good today, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer." β
The Buddha still smiled, "It's okay, this moonlight is bright and clean, and the lotus flowers are planted, so it's good to see more." β
Xuan Che still nodded, just looked down at the lotus, and said no more.
After a while, the compassionate voice of the Buddha came to my ears: "Ah Che, love for others is like holding a torch against the wind, and there will be the danger of burning your hands." β
Xuan Che smiled bitterly, "Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, if they do not move, they will not be hurt; if the heart moves, people will move recklessly, hurt their bodies and bones, so they experience all kinds of pain in the world." β
The Buddha was silent for a long time, and sighed slightly, "People are worried from love, and from worry to fear, if they are separated from love, why worry and fear." Ah Che, put it down. β
Xuan Che still smiled bitterly.
The moon in the sky is getting darker, and the moon is changing from surplus to absence. The Buddha said lightly, "Ah Che, are you ready?"
Xuan Che frowned, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and said solemnly, "You can do it at any time." β
The Buddha had already gotten up and walked to her right, "Then let's get started." β
Hyun Che nodded. Before the action was finished, she suddenly felt a strong force attacking from the spirit platform, as if to displace her soul. Xuan Che didn't dare to resist, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he was still quietly at his disposal. This force lingered in his spirit platform for a while, and suddenly increased his strength, Xuan Che only felt extremely dizzy in his brain, as if he had been hit on the head by gravity, and then the force above his head became bigger and bigger, and when Xuan Che felt that his soul was about to go out, his body suddenly became lighter, and then he felt that he was on a cold object. She wanted to open her eyes and look at her surroundings, and her intuition told her that her soul was now separated from her body.
Sure enough, the Buddha's peaceful voice came from overhead, "Ah Che, don't move yet, I have withdrawn your soul and fostered it on the lotus flower in this lotus pond, and your ** is under this flower path, only three feet away from your soul."
When she heard the voice of the Buddha, she suddenly felt the bottom of her heart.
The Buddha then said, "Ah Che, your soul will definitely not adapt to the first time you leave your body, and your soul will not be able to merge with this lotus flower very well, so your movement will be greatly restricted. I've drained your soul. It is also to save you the pain of the invasion of the cold qi of the lotus pond, these days, you can temporarily attach it to this lotus, Fuxian has gone to the Doushi Palace in the Nine Heavens to find Taishang Laojun to borrow the soul stone, and the sealing abyss of my Western Heaven Secret Realm has almost been refined, just wait for the soul stone to return to its place, you can draw the annoyance out of your body. β
Xuan Che felt extremely dizzy at this time, a huge wave of tiredness hit, she felt that she was slowly entering a dream, and she didn't forget to mumble in the dream, such as this old fritter, it turned out that she had already prepared.
She slept so long that she hadn't slept since he left. In the dream, she seemed to go back to two thousand years ago, that is, she was still a girl who looked only one or two hundred years old, and Zangyue took her to the nether realm, took her to Kyoto in the human world, to the desert, to the battlefield, to see the various states of living beings, to see the warmth and coldness of the world. That's her, she is already extremely calm, even if Zangyue takes her to see the prosperous Kyoto, the Fengyue Field where the drunken gold fans are drunk, and the battlefield of the horse leather shroud, she is also a cold expression, unmoved, even Zangyue was amazed when she saw her, and praised her for being a good material for making a heavenly machine.
He didn't know that she hadn't always had such a cold expression, she would secretly smile at him where he couldn't see, she would pretend to be asleep, deliberately burrow into his arms, and she even secretly kissed him on the lips while he was asleep. Her joys and sorrows, her laughter and scolding, her all kinds of feelings, all of her things, can only be seen by him. She is a living person in front of him.
She remembered the surprised look in his eyes after he knew her Tianjizi identity, he came over and picked her up, as if he had seen her for the first time, he looked at her carefully, and sighed, "There is such a young Tianjizi, when Tianjizi Chengguang was more than 8,000 years old, he was named Tianjizi by the founding Yuanling, and your little doll is only one or two hundred years old, and you have such a cultivation, it's really amazing." β
Xuan Che suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad in her heart, she knew that the reason why he liked him was not because he was a heavenly machine, nor because he was extremely high in cultivation at a young age. It's because he's a child, an ordinary, innocent child. If he knew that he had already become an adult, and that he had only looked so young because he had been cast a spell by his master, he would have distanced himself from it. For the first time, Xuan Che was a little grateful to his master, the gray-haired old man, if it weren't for him, he would have been with Zangyue, or the breeze and the moon, and the two had nothing to do with it.
In fact, the Antarctic Immortal Weng cast a very simple trick on her, if it is used on others, even a Taoist priest who has just learned the Tao can see the clues, she was also extremely puzzled why the dignified Lu Pressure Shenjun couldn't see through such a small trick, and then suddenly woke up, just because he was destined to be the Tianjizi, and Tianjizi's past and present life and what others thought in his heart could not see, nor could he calculate, every sentient being in the three worlds of gods, men and demons has its corresponding stars and fate, but Tianjizi did not, the establishment of the destiny of the heavenly machine means that she has been in the reincarnation of the number of fate, except for herself, no one can count her past and futureγ
Therefore, Lu Jian Shenjun, that is, Zang Yue, can't see through this little spell on his body.
Zang Yue held her face with his hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "Little girl, you don't have a Taoist name, right, look at the water spirit you are born with, and your eyes are so clear, I will name you Ah Che, okay?" After finishing speaking, he pinched his fingers and calculated, and muttered, "Tianjizi is named according to Xuan Xiuning, Ze was born by the people, you are the second, that is, the Xuanzi generation, then you are called Xuan Che." After speaking, it didn't matter if she agreed or not, just called her Xuanche. Later, the Buddha and the Emperor of Heaven had no opinion on this, she was called Xuan Che since then, or, according to his generation, he took the name, and the Buddha and the Emperor of Heaven could not say anything, after all, he was a senior. Later, one day, Xuan Che couldn't help it, so he asked him about the origin of his name, and he looked at her with strange eyes, "It turns out that your little girl already knew that I was an old man, and she didn't say it until now." After a pause, he added, "I took this Dharma name by myself, and Master has long since passed away, and since he left, no one has been able to name me." The tone was infinitely melancholy.
She suddenly realized that this Dharma name was his own nonsense, no wonder the book didn't say it. Seeing that she didn't speak, he asked a little dullly, "What's the matter, aren't you disappointed to know that I'm an old man?"
Xuan Che glanced at him, "The first time I saw you, I knew you were an old man, but I don't know how old you are." β
His expression relaxed slightly, and he smiled at her warm smile, "You may not understand the question of age, you might as well count the stars with your fingers." "He's making fun of her for being young and angry.
She felt as if she was back in his arms, leaning against his chest and listening to his heart pounding, with a peace in her heart that she had never felt before. Suddenly, a familiar and strange voice came from my ear: "Ah Che, wake up, you have been asleep for three days." "This is not the voice of Zangyue, this is the voice of the Buddha. All of a sudden, I woke up and woke up from a dream. It turned out that she had just had a long, real dream. She suddenly remembered a play she had seen in the world before, it turned out that the purple and red flowers were blooming all over, and they seemed to be given to the ruins of the broken wells, and the beautiful scenery of the good day was the day, and the courtyard was happy............ This song is the lyrics of the nightmare in the garden. If you don't go to the garden, how do you know that spring is as promised.
Xuan Che was still immersed in Fang Cai's dream, but the sound of the Buddha's quiet chanting came from his ears: "Contemplating the Bodhisattva at ease, walking deep like paramita, when he sees that the five aggregates are empty, he will survive a qiΔ suffering." The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, which are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, nor increased nor decreased. Therefore, there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no thoughts, no thoughts, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, and even no consciousness. There is no ignorance, there is no end to ignorance, there is no old age and death, and there is no old age and death. There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, there is no wisdom and no gain, so there is no gain. Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles, no obstacles, no fears, is far away from upside-down dreams, and is nirvana. The Buddhas of the three worlds, according to Prajnaparamita, attained the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara. Therefore, it is known that Prajnaparamita is a great mantra, a great mantra, a supreme mantra, and an unequal mantra, which can remove one qiΔ suffering, and is true and true. Therefore, when we say the Prajnaparamita mantra, we say the mantra as follows: Reveal the truth, Para reveal the truth, Para Sangha reveal the truth, Bodhisattva Buddha. β
Xuan Che knew that he could read it to himself, but it was a pity that he had always been partial to the Dharma, and although he could understand the meaning, he could not understand the subtleties in it. So this Prajnaparamita Sutra is no different from an ordinary sutra to her.
After the Buddha finished chanting, he was silent for a long time, Xuan Che didn't know what he was doing, he was parasitic on this lotus, and his eyes were empty. But that's fine, don't look at it, don't bother, don't bother.
The voice of the Buddha's compassion came from his side again: "Ah Che, I have just entered your dream." β
Xuan Che was stunned for a moment, and then a strange feeling surged in his heart, this is her dream, her treasure, her memory, how can others touch and snoop at will. She felt as if someone had taken something from her.
The Buddha still said lightly: "When Ananda first studied Buddhism with me, his mind was also extremely uncertain. One day he suddenly knelt down in front of me and asked for a return to the vulgar, and I asked him why, and he said that he had met a fisherwoman on the shore of the North Sea, and he was very fond of her, and wanted to return to the vulgar and spend the rest of his life with her. I didn't say no to him, I didn't promise him, I just asked him how much he loved that woman. He said, I would like to be a stone bridge, blown by the wind for 500 years, sunburned for 500 years, and rained for 500 years, just begging her to pass over the bridge. When I heard him say this, I knew that it was useless for me to say anything, so I said to him, don't be vulgar yet, if you want to be with her, I will allow you to be together, but after a hundred years, she enters the next reincarnation, and you come back to tell me if you still want to entangle with her. Ananda took off his robe with great joy and went to the lower realm. He turned into an ordinary peasant boy, married the woman, married her, had children, went to sea to fish, and subsidized the family. I could tell she loved the woman. But time passed quickly, and after twenty years, the woman's hair was a little gray, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, and her originally slender figure gradually became bloated, so Ananda began to go out early and return late, and he went to work all day at sea, and went to drink tea and chat with other people, but he just didn't want to be with her. Later, ten years later, this woman was already an old woman, with a wrinkled face and a rickety figure, and Ananda was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and Ananda said to me privately that he saw clearly that his life was endless, and she only had a few decades to live, and she would die soon, and he was still young. I knew that he hadn't seen it through yet, so I said to him, "Do things from beginning to end, and you can send her off to the end and come back to me." So Ananda stayed with her for another ten years, and after ten years, he sprinkled the last handful of loess on her grave with his own hands. He cried so sadly that he almost fainted. I know that's when he saw it through. To become a Buddha is not to be ruthless to all things, but to be affectionate to all things. He saw through the essence of the skin, from ruthlessness to sentient beings, from one person to all beings, to all things, this is the Dharma. Ah Che, what is the difference between you and him? A qiΔ has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like fog and electricity, and should be viewed as such. β
Hyun Che knew what he was talking about and couldn't refute it, she knew he was right, but she just couldn't see through it. She didn't think about Zangyue all the time, immersed in pain and couldn't extricate herself, but she couldn't see anything related to it, and every time she saw it, she would think of him, his kindness to her, and his departure. She doesn't have to him, it's not that she can't do without him, she just forgets no, it's like a dream, it seems to be true and false, after all, she still can't escape, the world.
When the Buddha saw her silent, he said, "This Nine Palaces Bagua Array can't be broken overnight, these days, you can calm down and think about it." You've been in chaos for more than two thousand years, and it's time to wake up.
