Chapter 233 The Old Monk in Qingliang Temple 3
Xuanbei looked at Li Ye who looked happy, picked up the teapot and added hot tea to him.
He smiled and said: "The Buddha said: All actions are impermanent, and all living beings have no appearance. The way of heaven is cyclical, and there is suffering without appearance. The moon waxes and wanes, and even the mountains and seas will be flattened or the seas will dry up and bottom out. The seas and mulberry fields will change.
, nothing is perfect.”
"The first volume of "The Formless Dharmakaya" talks about how sentient beings can cultivate to have a body without leakage, while the second volume talks about the essence of cultivating to become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
In the aspect of longevity, only if there is no self, no you, no sentient beings, and no thought of longevity in the practitioner’s consciousness, can it be possible to cultivate the Buddha body, otherwise all of them will be false.”
Li Ye nodded in praise, thanked Xuan Bei again, drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and clasped his hands together and said, "I can't wait to practice the sixth level of mind. I'll come back tomorrow to ask the master for advice."
Xuanbei waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can go practice on your own. If you have any questions, come back to me tomorrow."
Li Ye turned around and quickly walked out of the island in the middle of the lake. After leaving Qingliang Temple, he waved for a carriage and sped towards Youjian Inn.
...
Entering the inn, he looked at the waiter and said, "Hurry up and ask me to boil a large bucket of boiling water and bring it to my room. I need it urgently. Thank you."
After saying that, he went into the room in the backyard.
After returning to the room, he carefully opened the sixth level of "The Formless Dharmakaya" handwritten by Abbot Xuanbei. He saw a few thin pages of scriptures wrapped in light yellow paper, and every word in them revealed the Buddhist teachings.
Supremely wonderful idea.
Li Ye sat at the table, spread his mind on the table, and said softly:
"...The mind should not be abiding in form, the mind should not be abiding in sounds, fragrances, touching things, and the mind should be unabsorbed. If the mind is abiding, it is non-dwelling.
... All the various appearances are right and wrong. He also said: All sentient beings are non-sentient beings."
...
Less than half an hour later, the store clerk came in with two large buckets of boiling water. He looked at Li Ye and said, "Sir, we poured the boiling water into the bathtub for you. You should hurry up and let it cool down after a while."
Li Ye nodded, turned around and took out two silver coins from his pocket, handed them to the waiter and said with a smile: "I'm going to drink tea when you have time. This is what I invited."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Holding the body-tempering herbs given by Abbot Xuanbei in both hands, he carefully put them into the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and felt extremely excited.
The way of the mind has not yet reached Fangcun Mountain, and the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" that I practice will soon break through to the sixth level.
The moment he jumped into the bathtub, a stinging sensation of meeting again after a long separation spread throughout his body. The power of the medicine washed away his flesh and blood like a stream of flames.
It penetrated the twelve major meridians in all directions and tenaciously penetrated into the bone marrow... He carefully felt the fierce power of the medicine and the scorching temperature while running the sixth heart method...
For a moment, the whole room was filled with the strong aroma of herbs decomposed in boiling water. A white mist rushed out of his body from the bathtub. While his mind was running, a faint yellow light rose from his body. Behind him
The pale golden lotus becomes more and more solid...
An hour later, Li Ye, who was still soaking in the tub, heard soft crackling sounds from the bone marrow all over his body, and was about to break through to the sixth level of the "Phaseless Dharmakaya".
According to my husband's plan, he originally wanted to go to Fangcun Mountain Prajna Temple to obtain the second half of the "Phaseless Dharmakaya", and then spend some time to break through to the sixth level of entry.
Unexpectedly, due to his fate, he actually obtained the sixth level of mind technique at Qingliang Temple in Baiyu City, which undoubtedly greatly shortened his training time in the formless body technique.
Quietly feeling the changes in his body, after a long time, he looked at the ceiling of the room and sighed softly.
He murmured: "Is it still a little short of breaking through? In that case, I still have to practice in White Jade City for a few days. After I have mastered the sixth level of the Heart Technique, I can go to Wanxiang City to find my husband."
I jumped out of the tub and looked at the dilute potion in the tub, and there were still some black impurities floating on the water.
Xindao's body has been tempered for several years, and there are still a lot of impurities. It seems that he will have to find many herbs in the future to achieve perfection in the practice of "Shadowless Dharmakaya".
I put on my clothes, opened the door, and walked to the front hall of the inn. Thinking that I was happy today, I wanted to go find Nalan Yu to share the joy of this moment, even if he caught me and drank two drinks.
"Excuse me, is your second shopkeeper here? I haven't seen anyone else in the past few days." Li Ye asked with a smile while looking at the waiter in the store.
The waiter looked at him, counted his fingers, and replied with a smile: "Shopkeeper Nalan, you haven't been in the store these days, and you haven't told us where you are going."
Li Ye looked at the guy with some disappointment, sighed, and said, "It's okay, I just want to chat with him."
"Sir, do you have anything to do with the second shopkeeper? If you need to, you can just ask us to do it." The waiter looked at him and said with a smile.
Li Ye waved his hands and walked towards the yard behind his hands.
Not causing trouble to others is his principle in life.
Since Brother Nalan is not here, I can just go back to the house to calm down, put away my current ecstasy, and think about how to go to Qingliang Temple to break through this level of skills.
Fortunately, I asked if there was any temple in the city.
...
As usual, Li Ye arrived at the Luohan Hall in Qingliang Temple early.
The sound of chanting was still faintly heard in the distance. I closed my eyes and sat quietly in front of the Arhats for an hour. I walked out of the Arhat Hall under the surprised eyes of the monks on duty.
I came to the earth flat outside the stone house on the island in the middle of the lake, and after practicing Fuhu Luohan Fist twice, several monks finally came here.
Li Ye put his hands together and saluted several monks, and asked, "Senior brother, where is the Buddhist hall of Abbot Xuanbei?"
Looking at Li Ye, who was wearing linen monk robes, the monks looked at him curiously, and one monk pointed the direction to him.
Li Ye thanked him, turned around and walked onto the stone bridge, heading towards the main hall.
"Amitabha, abbot, auspiciousness." Li Ye stood outside Xuanbei's Buddhist hall and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in, I don't have so many etiquette here." Xuanbei, who was sitting in the Buddhist hall, looked at Li Ye outside the door quietly and said with a smile: "You look good today. Could it be that you have broken through to the sixth level?"
?”
Li Ye took off his shoes and entered the Buddhist hall. He met Xuan Bei and said with a smile: "After tempering my body with the abbot's herbs last night, I feel very good, but I am still far from breaking through."
Xuanbei nodded, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "It took me a long time and a lot of hardship to break through from the fifth level to the sixth level, but you can do it after just one night of practice."
It feels like you are really suitable for practicing the Formless Dharmakaya."
Li Ye picked up the tea cup in front of him, thought for a while and replied: "I don't want to rush to the realm. My husband said that it is best to practice naturally and not just focus on the power of herbs."
Xuanbei, who was holding the teacup, was slightly startled, and then he understood something.
He nodded and said: "Being able to break through realms naturally is the best practice... It's just that many practitioners in the world only care about the level of realms, but they ignore this truth."
Li Ye smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, sometimes I also want to reach the realm."
Thought: I also wanted to break through my realm to the late Nascent Soul stage earlier, and look forward to the legendary realm breakthrough.
Xuanbei looked at him, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "What is your cultivation state like? I wanted to ask you yesterday. It seems to be only the state of Qi gathering... but it also has the flavor of the Nascent Soul state.
"
He thought about it at night and said with a smile: "Actually, I had already broken through to Nascent Soul when I was practicing on Tianshan Mountain. It was just because of some personal reasons and my husband was afraid that I would break through the realm too quickly and my practice would be unstable.
I was given a pill to suppress my state, and Master Kuchan of the Great Buddha Temple took action and used Buddhist magic power to cover up my state of cultivation."
Xuanbei asked in confusion: "Isn't the higher the state, the better? Why are you still suppressing and covering up after you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul? And you have to work hard to practice the "Shadowless Dharma Body"?"
Li Ye explained calmly: "My husband said that there is only a state without a state of mind, which will have a big problem for future practice, so I practice the state of mind in Buddhism. When I practice "The Formless Dharmakaya" to perfection, the elixir will
The suppression will be broken naturally, and there will be no need to cover it up in the future.”
Xuanbei looked at him quietly and remained silent for a long time before sighing softly and saying: "If you don't cultivate your mind in cultivation, it is easy to cultivate your inner demons. Your husband is a man of great wisdom. I would like to get to know him if I have the opportunity."
Li Ye looked at Xuan Bei's kind face, sighed, and said, "Unfortunately, my husband has gone to Wanxiang City a few days ago. I will also go there in a few days, and then we will go to Fangcun Mountain to practice together."
Xuanbei shook his head and said: "Seeing or not meeting is fate, you can't force it."
Li Ye lowered his head and said softly: "I suddenly remembered something. Can the herbs needed for the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of body tempering be found on Fangcun Mountain? Or can they be bought in the Xixuan Territory?"
"I don't know." Xuanbei thought for a while and said, "I only saw the sixth level of mind method at the beginning, but I didn't see it for the next several levels."
Li Ye thought about it, shook his head, looked at old monk Xuanbei, and murmured: "We have to go to Prajna Temple first."
"You haven't even entered the sixth level yet, why are you so anxious?" Xuanbei said calmly.
"Even so, if you prepare the necessary herbs in advance, it will be helpful for future practice. At least it will save the time of looking for herbs."
Looking at Xuan Bei, Li Ye said with a smile.
Xuanbei lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "What you said makes sense. It is the wish of every practitioner to find all the medicinal herbs for practice early, but sometimes you don't have to force it!"
Li Ye nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you a lot today. I'll ask you for advice another day."
After saying this, he bowed to the old monk, Xuan Bei waved his hand, and Li Ye turned around and left the Buddhist hall.
...
On the fifth day, Li Ye practiced in Qingliang Temple for two hours, but he did not go to Xuan Bei that day.
...
On the ninth day, I practiced in Qingliang Temple for nine days in total. After doing Fuhu Luohan Fist twice on this day, while sitting in front of the stone house to rest, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the bone marrow all over my body, and the muscles in my whole body contracted to the extreme.
Then slowly let go.
Golden Buddha light appeared above his head, and a whirlwind blew on the earth in front of the stone house. Li Ye felt happy in his heart: The sixth level of "Formless Dharmakaya" had finally been broken through, and he had reached the state of selflessness in practice.
Li Ye looked at the white pagoda behind the temple and was secretly happy. The Fuhu Luohan Fist had been strengthened in Qingliang Temple, and the Formless Dharmakaya had broken through to the sixth level. From now on, he could practice the mental method of the Formless Dharmakaya with peace of mind.
You no longer have to worry about not having the skills to practice.
