Chapter Forty-Seven: Establishing All Laws from Nothing
The monk said: "The realm of this is indescribable, not to mention that the poor monk is now just a cultivator who knows his fate, how can he know the Buddha's wonderful interest in the realm of all fates? Acting according to the teachings is the difference between my Buddhism and Taoism following the evidence. ”
Lu Zheng asked again: "Do what you teach, do what you prove? I have to think about this." By the way, Master, does the Buddha have more explanations about the unchanging and unchanging circumstances? I still don't understand!"
When the great wise monk on the side heard Lu Zheng's words, he said in his heart: "The precept master holds the precepts strictly, deeply cultivates the precepts without vain words, and he has followed the precept master for so many years, so he really knows the precept master too well." Today, when I talk to this Lord of Destiny, the words of the precept master are very different from what I usually do. For example, the practice of the precept master in Foshan, but he had never said half a sentence to the disciples of the Flame Nunnery, but he said it in such detail to this young man, and even said the hidden things in his heart, which shocked them.
But when it comes to this realm of unattainable circumstances, it is very different from such old things as in the past, and this is already a realm involving cultivation. The precept master attaches great importance to and is rigorous in his cultivation, and he will never say a word to others about things he does not know, do not know, or perceive, as well as doubts about the realm that he has not yet verified. I thought that I had asked one more sentence that was not in line with my realm, but I was severely punished by the precept master. Now that this young man is actually asking about the state of liberation that the Buddha has not attained by such a Buddha, it is even more unlikely that the precept master will say anything more!"
Not only did the Great Wise Monk think so in their hearts, but the other eight monks present also thought the same way in their hearts. But the next words of the angry monk made them almost drop their jaws on the spot.
I saw that after listening to Lu Zheng's question, the monk nodded and said directly: "In fact, the so-called fate of Buddhism is not a matter of good fortune that people in the world mistakenly think. The Buddha taught that all things born in heaven and earth. Everything and everything has 12 branches: ignorance, action, knowledge, fame, six elements, touch, receiving, loving, taking, being, birth, old age, and death. Only with these twelve branches can we support the appearance of all things. And between these twelve branches, there is no ignorance of the fate of the line, the line of the fate of the knowledge, the knowledge of the fate of the name, the name and the color of the six in, the six into the fate of the touch, the touch of the fate of the receiving, the fate of love, the love of the fate of taking, the fate of the birth, the fate of old age and death, this is the so-called twelve causes of Buddhism. ”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he immediately remembered the Buddhist master he met when he incarnated as Lu Zhiyi. This layman's correction is the 12 karma methods. He is the best at observing the origin of a qiē, but in the battle of Yishan Mountain, in order to help the Great Xia Longtu, his arms were cut off by the power of the black knife. After that, I left, and I don't know if I went back to the Karma Mountain Fudo Temple. Lu Zhengdao: "Master, the twelve branches you mentioned are the twelve causes, and the ignorance of the fate is the meaning of the ignorance of the birth of the cause? Why is there only the word fate and not the word cause?"
The Angry Monk explained, "Ignorance is not ignorance, and if it is so, it becomes the cause of ignorance. Acting is the effect, and ignorance and action are not the genus of cause and effect. It is not from ignorance that acts are born, but from ignorance as the cause, and the twelve branches are all like this. The so-called fate also helps each other, and the so-called cause also gives birth to each other. Let's put it this way, like a big tree. The seed is the cause, and the tree that grows is the fruit. This is cause and effect. As for the fate, let the land, water, and sunlight where the seeds grow help each other. It should be said that there is action due to ignorance, do you understand this?"
The Great Wise Monk and the others were depressed in their hearts, when did the precept master become so obedient and seductive? He actually took the initiative to ask the young man if he had made it clear that he and the others had such treatment in the first place. It is rare to hear a sentence or two from the precept master, and I have been pondering it for a long time first. After you have your own understanding, you can go to the precept master to verify right and wrong.
The analogy of the monk of resentment was so clear, of course Lu Zheng understood, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and then said: "Master, I understand, the twelve branches are dependent on each other. If it is said that it is the cause, then the twelve branches are the causes, so the actions of all things that are made up by the twelve branches are the effects. In this way, the cause and conditions are combined, so we see the biochemistry of heaven and earth. And the so-called fate of Buddhism, if it is based on Taoist practice, is actually the extreme feeling of body and mind. Is it okay for juniors to understand it this way?"
When the monk heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said: "Although the poor monk is not good at cultivating the door, he has also heard of it, and the donor can say so." "The great wise monks and others are even more surprised, this young man is really bold, if they dare to dig the Buddha's teachings in front of the precept master, I am afraid that they have already been punished by the quiet room confinement, it seems that the precept master really looks at this young man differently!
Then I heard the monk continue: "However, my Buddhism says that these twelve causes and conditions are for the purpose of understanding the transformation of the physical realm and seeking the mind of nothingness. All things are formed by gathering from fate, and are extinguished by dispersing by fate. If this is there, then there is, if this life is born, if there is none, if there is none, if this is extinguished, then there is no other, all things are not nothing, not born and not destroyed, so that the mind is born without attaching things, and from nowhere to live there is a qiē dharma book, which is the so-called casualness!"
When the monk said this, the nine monks of the great wisdom monk recited the Buddha's name in unison, and they heard it on the side, of course, they not only blindly saw the words and deeds of the monk who were different from the past, but also listened respectfully to every word of the precept master, and naturally realized their hearts.
In the sound of the Buddha's horn, there is an infinite sense of solemnity in the surroundings. Lu Zheng's mouth was full of thoughts, and he recited the "Qiē Dharma Book from Nowhere to Live" a few times, then stood up, bowed to the hated monk, and said, "Thank you Master for enlightening!"
The monk smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to signal Lu Zheng to sit down, and then asked: "The poor monk is presumptuous, I don't know if the donor can tell the poor monk what he understands in his heart?" When the great wise monk and the others heard this, they couldn't help but prick up their ears, concentrating on what this young man of destiny would say.
Asking so much as a monk with a resentful heart shows that he, the ring master of the Flame Nunnery, attaches great importance to Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng was not hypocritical, arched his hand and said: "The younger generation just has some understanding, I heard what the master talked about with fate, and I know that all living beings are outside the fate!"
A qiē sentient being is outside of all fates, so isn't it a qiē sentient beings who already have a realm that is beyond all fate?
The Great Wise Monk and the others suddenly heard this, but they felt that something was coming against the primordial spirit, and they felt dizzy for a while, and their mouths and ears seemed to be suffocated by something, and for a moment they couldn't hear or see anything. But this abnormal feeling is fleeting, and I am panicking, and the next moment everything is already as usual. All beings are boiling in their ears. The great wise monks and others looked at each other, not knowing where such a strange thing came from, and they were all frightened. Looking at the angry monk and Lu Zheng again, he gasped even more, but this kind of kung fu, Lu Zheng and the angry monk were gone. Only two large rocks that were used as stools were still in place, and the stones were already empty.
Where did Lu Zheng and the Angry Heart Monk go? Just as the Great Wise Monk and the others were looking around, suddenly Chi Ling, who was not far ahead, suddenly stood up and opened his mouth to let out a loud roar towards the sky. This roar is not loud, but it gives people an earth-shattering feeling, and the roar carries the coercion of the red spirit itself, as if all the creatures will surrender and tremble under this roar!
The Great Wisdom Monk and the others are all cultivators who know the realm, and when they hear this roar, they can't help but beat wildly, as if the qi and blood in their bodies are about to be reversed, if they don't desperately suppress it. I'm afraid that the roar of the red spirit has already caused them to explode and die. While resisting, the Great Wise Monk and the others flickered in their hearts: "Could it be that this Red Flame Leopard is still holding a grudge against his own clan and waiting for him to kill him, and seeing that Lu Zheng and the Anger Ring Master are not there, he wants to take the opportunity to kill himself and others to avenge his fellow clan?"
The Great Wise Monk was thinking of this, but saw that the Red Flame Leopard let out a second roar. This roar was different from just now, there was not even a sound at all, as if the red spirit was not letting out a loud roar. It was just a yawn. The Great Wise Monk and the others were shocked in their hearts, and they all stood up from the ground. took out the magic weapon to concentrate on vigilance, but unexpectedly, after the red flame leopard roared, it suddenly disappeared in place.
The face of the great wise monk changed, and he shouted: "All the monks are in formation, beware of this monster's sneak attack!" The nine monks immediately formed a circle back to back, and their divine thoughts spread out to sense the movement around them. The mana works, and as soon as the other party appears, he immediately throws out the magic weapon in his hand. But left and right, they never saw the Red Flame Leopard appear, and there was no attack coming at them.
The Great Wise Monk and the others were surprised, but at this time, they saw the sky above the place where the Red Flame Leopard disappeared. There was a person who fell from the void and stood still on the mountain of the Two Realms, it was the Red Flame Leopard Red Spirit who had turned into a human form. The Great Wise Monk was wondering why this monster was behaving so strangely, but he heard a voice say, "What are you doing here, why don't you sit down quickly?"
The voice was majestic and familiar, but it surprised the great wise monk and others, and a hanging heart finally fell, it was the voice of the monk with a hateful heart. As far as I could see, I saw that the resentful monk and Lu Zheng had already sat on the two big stones again at some point. Unlike just now, the resentful monk turned around and scolded them, with a solemn and resolute expression on his face.
The Great Wise Monk and the others hurriedly sat down according to their words, and then said, "Ring Master, you ...... Where did you go just now, the disciples and others thought ...... I thought you left us behind!"
There was a sense of grievance in the voice of the great wisdom monk, which was not at all what a cultivator who knew the realm should be. The angry monk frowned and shouted, "The poor monk has been sitting here all this time, and he has never been anywhere. What are you worrying about when you can't see it yourself?"
The great wise monk was stunned by this drink, and just now he clearly saw that he and Lu Zheng had disappeared, and they were not the only ones who saw it, and the rest of the monks also saw it. Why is it that the precept master now says that he has been there all along? The great wise monk was confused but did not dare to ask the monk of resentment, so he had to remain silent and not argue.
The angry monk snorted again, expressed his dissatisfaction, and said, "Go back to the Flame Nunnery, and go to the quiet room to practice hard!"
As he was talking, Lu Zheng said on the side: "Master, this is not the fault of your masters, so there is no need to punish it!"
The monk said: "It is naturally not the fault that the realm is insufficient, but in the event of self-chaos, how to achieve the cultivation of the realm of consummation." The donor doesn't have to intercede for them anymore, and this punishment is along with the previous responsibility of a hundred rods, and they don't want to avoid any of them. ”
Lu Zheng saw that the angry monk punished the disciple so harshly and resolutely, and it was not easy to persuade him again. At this time, the resentful monk said: "The donor is young, and he has already cultivated like this, so he really deserves to be the master of destiny!"
Lu Zheng was surprised: "The juniors were a little confused just now, listening to what the master said, it seems that he already knew about the juniors' refining of the Heavenly Destiny Flower, but the master should still be in the Immortal God Valley at that time, how did he know about the juniors?"
