Chapter 89 Entering the Way
The old ape took a lot of fruits to celebrate Li Ye's catching the wind.
Li Ye lit a fire outside the cave, roasted the hare on the fire, and fed the young apes on the mother ape with the dripping barbecue. Foodie Xiao Bai dragged a leg and ran to the side to nibble.
Li Ye looked at the old ape and sighed, and murmured: "It's a pity that I never learned winemaking from the master, otherwise the many wild fruits in the mountains would be excellent for winemaking."
The old ape smiled at Li Ye: "We are very lucky to meet the young gentleman, so we can't be greedy anymore."
Xiaobai gnawed on a leg and felt happy. He kept jumping around in the hole and looked at the two of them moaning, which meant that it was not enough and he wanted to eat more.
Li Ye wiped his oily hands, looked at it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll give it to you after it's baked. These must be eaten by the seniors' relatives first."
Xiaobai seemed to understand Li Ye's words and ran to the entrance of the cave and shouted several times outside.
Li Ye laughed when he looked at it. The old ape turned around and looked at him in surprise, wondering what was wrong with this young gentleman. In the past few days of knowing him, he had never seen him so bold and unrestrained.
"Little sir, what do you think of the environment here?" Lao Yuan asked while helping Li Ye barbecue.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He looked at him and replied without thinking: "This place is great, with mountains and water, and no shortage of food. I just don't understand how you can survive the winter."
?”
The old ape looked at him and sighed, and said softly: "Winter is a difficult season for all the creatures in the Tianshan Mountains. We only go to the mountains to dig some wild potatoes in the autumn and dry them in the sun to satisfy our hunger in the winter.
"
After hearing this, Li Ye frowned, looked at him and said, "We will go hunting in a few days and dry some dried meat so that we can share it with our seniors in winter."
Lao Yuan didn't expect Li Ye to say that. He looked at him and nodded, smiling: "I'll help you then."
Li Ye stood up, facing the mountain stream outside the stone platform, looking at the vast Tianshan Mountains, thoughtfully.
He turned back and looked at the old ape and said: "From now on, I will practice in the cave above the waterfall. We will lecture on it at night. When I practice on weekdays, seniors can come and join me if they are interested."
Li Ye, who had broken through the realm, did not have many surprises, because he saw his husband's practice and his vision was farther away.
Being in Tianshan is just a practice in his life.
Giving up the joy at this time, Li Ye turned his head and glanced at Xiao Bai, bowed to the old ape and bowed, turned around and walked towards the top of the waterfall. Tonight, he had to think carefully about what he would face next.
Practice issues.
Leading Xiaobai, Li Ye returned to the cave where Poxu had been during the day, and carefully wiped off the dust on the stone platform facing Monk Poxu with his broken clothes during the day. He would practice and rest here in the future.
He has reason to believe that the monk Poxu who was there in those days sat here and realized the Tao, and finally passed away. If he practices here for one to two years, he can also improve his state of mind and practice, and step into the highest level of practice.
.
Gently turning the ring between his left fingers, his mind went in. It felt as if he had entered a space that was larger than a room at home. There were stacks of pots and pans needed for daily life, and there were also piles of pots and pans in the corners.
A few bags of rice, thinking that the Poxu monk really really walked away without taking anything in this world with him.
There are some scriptures and books stacked on the antique wooden shelves, and two wooden boxes contain some unworn coarse cloth monk robes and several pieces of unknown silk cloth. Could it be that this old monk also makes his own clothes?
Li Ye reached out and took out a scroll of scriptures. When he came out and opened it, he saw the three characters "Lotus Sutra" written in yellow paint on the title page. When he opened it and looked at it, he was stunned:
With this single-minded blessing, I am willing to seek the supreme path.
I have acquired all wisdom and reached all the realms of meditation.
It was the scripture that I saw on the stone wall of the cave, which later turned into dust after a thunderstorm. Shocked, I continued to read the verse:
Those who have a strong acceptance and upholding of this sutra will never come out of this sutra. It will be connected with the non-teachings and the remains of wisdom and victory. After hearing it, I will deeply respect it and have the remnant achievements of the king. I will often put it at the beginning of the sutra and summarize it in order. I will be able to purify the six roots early.
A grand gathering of worshiping the compassionate Lord. Accomplishing the Four Virtues quickly, enjoying the joy of Xuanyu...
Unexpectedly, I met the old ape by chance. Before I came to the cave, I read some supreme scriptures and was able to break through. Then I entered the cave and obtained many relics of the eminent monk. Each of them was a treasure that is hard to find in the world.
Feeling deep in my heart, I kowtowed three more times to the shadows on the stone wall. The moon outside the cave has risen, and the moonlight shines through the entrance of the cave on the blue stone wall. The mottled figure seems to come to life at this moment, with a ray of awe-inspiring righteousness and chaos.
The breath of heaven and earth from Tianshan slowly entered Li Ye's body, moisturizing everything silently.
If Li Ye took off his clothes and looked at it at this moment, he would find that the golden lotus on his right arm had slowly faded until it was completely hidden. And on his white and red back, there was a faint
A golden lotus appeared, a pale golden lotus with thirty-two petals.
From the nine-petal white lotus at birth to the eighteen-petal golden lotus, it disappeared from his arm tonight and turned into the thirty-two-petal lotus behind his back. Little by little, the thin Li Ye completed the evolution of his spiritual practice in this world.
, like the silkworm emerging from its cocoon and becoming a butterfly.
From the day he started practicing with his husband, he never thought about practicing Buddhism, but Buddhism has always followed him, just like some people who are born with self-awareness, and he is one of those people who are prophetic and foresighted.
The mottled figure on the blue stone wall gradually became lighter and disappeared little by little under the illumination of the moonlight. However, there was an extremely abundant aura of righteousness in Li Ye's body.
Feeling the changes in my body, I thought carefully about whether the old monk Poxu had given me the awe-inspiring righteousness he left in this world? If I let my husband know, I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing? I will go down the mountain and ask the Great Buddha Temple in the future.
The old master monk.
Looking at the round of understanding outside the cave, Li Ye sat in lotus position and meditated, with his five hearts facing the sky, and began to chant the Ksitigarbha Sutra that he had practiced for a long time.
In the future life, there will be many people who are short of food and clothing, who obey their wishes, and who may suffer from many illnesses, or who may suffer from bad fortunes, whose homes may be uneasy, whose dependents may be scattered, or who may have many misfortunes, disobey the body, and may have frights in their sleep or dreams.
terror.
...
The sound of his chanting sutras today was a bit special. It may be that his body was fused with the awe-inspiring righteousness of Poxu Monk. The sound of sutras coming out of his mouth was not as loud as usual, but it penetrated the cave tonight and penetrated the cave.
The woods outside echoed throughout the mountains and rivers.
The old ape had led a group of his descendants to wait quietly outside the cave. After hearing the sutras chanted by Li Ye, they all knelt on the ground facing the cave and listened quietly to the Dharma.
At this time, Xiao Bai had already run to the pile of rocks on the edge of the woods, joined a group of gray wolves, lay down next to the old wolf, and raised his ears to listen to the extremely solemn Buddhist scriptures coming from the cave.
A strange phenomenon occurred outside the cave. The wolves and the apes, which usually never stayed together, were not far apart from each other. They all pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the Buddhist scriptures coming from the cave.
The Buddhist scriptures tonight are like the rippling river outside the cave. The power contained in the waves spreads to all directions outside the cave in the divine light of the moon, nourishing all living beings waiting outside the cave.
Xiaobai's changes were obvious. The pale white nipple hair on his body had faded away, and crystal white hair had grown out, sparkling in the moonlight.
The old wolf's body was also glowing with golden light, as if it would fade in the next moment.
The old ape sitting outside the cave, his face full of tears, had already felt the changes in his body. The century-old vitality had been nourished by Buddhist scriptures and began to sprout quietly in the soil like spring seeds.
If the practice of Li Ye, who had just broken through the realm, was not stable due to lack of true energy, then his realm at this moment was due to the awe-inspiring righteousness left by the Po-Xu monk entering his body, which stained his body with turbidity in the secular world.
Everything is cleansing and quiet.
Only the "Shadowless Dharma Body" and "Ksitigarbha Sutra" are left, plus the awe-inspiring righteousness of Poxu Monk, and the extremely pure heaven and earth energy, which constitutes the awe-inspiring true energy needed for his Dantian Golden Pill, which slowly circulates in the twelve meridians.
Slowly flowing, changing the structure of his body.
When he was in Fengyun City, Mr. Li Ye repeatedly told Li Ye not to break through his realm at will, but to start practicing from his own state of mind.
Then, because of the old master monk at the Great Buddha Temple, the many opportunities on Tianshan Mountain, and the monk Po Xu at this time, Li Ye's state of mind exceeded what he should have been at his age, and his cultivation state was also unstoppable.
Out of control, heading towards a higher realm.
Li Ye inherited his master's legacy and has already mastered tea ceremony, harp music and kendo.
From now on, he will possess the Dharma that the teacher does not possess, the most refined and sincere Dharma in these five realms.
If the Po-Xu monk who stepped on the void was the one who escaped, Li Ye was the only two in the world.
Because of his trip to the Tianshan Mountains, he could practice Buddhism without any distractions and reach the Tao with an undifferentiated mind. The second is the mind of discrimination, and non-duality is the mind of non-discrimination. Tonight, he broke through all the dharma in the world and directly entered the Tao.
The Buddha said: As I mean, all dharma has no words, no explanations, no manifestations, no awareness, and is separated from questions and answers. This is the door of non-dualism.
At this time, Li Ye had already entered the Tao, so he no longer had to spend time searching for that elusive method.
If a Dependent Origination Dharma is used well, it will be a merit, but if it is not used well, it will be a hindrance. All methods are the same. From the ultimate truth, there is no difference between heretics and the true Dharma.
All differences lie in the differences of mind. For practitioners in the world, the purpose of seeking the truth is to achieve a certain fruition. With a discriminating mind, many causes and effects will arise.
Dependently originating all dharmas, so there are concepts and names of distinctions between heretics, true dharma, action, non-action, worldly and supramundane.
Once you have the phase, it is easy to grasp the phase. Once you grasp the phase, how can you attain enlightenment?
If Li Ye was still cultivating in the secular world at this moment, he would be like the Poxu monk who stepped away from the void. He has been meditating on dry Zen for hundreds of years, but he may not have attained enlightenment.
On the other hand, people like Li Ye, whose heart is like a mirror and whose body is transformed into a lotus platform, and under the urging of Monk Poxu's majestic righteousness, can enter the supreme path of enlightenment and face that: "Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a tree.
Go away from the realm of "Tai".
The wolves outside the cave have dispersed, and the old ape has led his descendants back to the cave under the waterfall.
The moon of Tianshan Mountain hangs quietly in the sky, its boundless divine brilliance shining on the land she cares for.
Xiaobai also returned to the cave, lay down next to Li Ye and closed his eyes.
It has undergone degradation and needs to rest quietly at this moment to replenish the energy it has consumed in its body.
Li Ye, who was sitting on the ground in meditation, fell into concentration after reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra twice. At this time, he was experiencing the feeling of neither increasing nor decreasing.
The wonder of immortality.
Tonight, his realm did not increase at all, and the alchemy in his body did not decrease because of chanting the sutra for two hours.
The elixir in the body, combined with the brilliance of the moon in the sky, flows continuously through the twelve main meridians, Ren and Du meridians, forming a circle, swirling and flowing in the body, like the flowing water of a river, endlessly.
Every time after reciting the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" twice, he would fall asleep and sleep until dawn. Then at this moment, he didn't even feel tired, and continued to maintain a state of trance, with his five hearts pointing toward the sky.
, things and I forget both.
The moonlight shines on the bluestone ground before he meditates, reflecting brightly on his slightly gray face.
Xiaobai, who was about to fall asleep, raised his head and looked at the moonlight outside the cave, then looked back at Li Ye who was in meditation, and whined a few times. He also wondered why Li Ye, who had finished reciting Buddhist scriptures tonight,
He actually didn't fall asleep as usual.
Chapter completed!
