Chapter 2141 No beginning and no end

With a knife in my hand, I have the world!

Shen Yue had heard of this legend, but it was only when Li Xuanba held a sword like this that he felt that there really was such a scornful person in the world.

There is a difference between true confidence and arrogance.

What can sustain Li Xuanba to the end is not arrogance, but confidence. When his confidence is over, that is when his life is over.

Only after his life is over will he think of Pei Mingcui's kindness.

But he died after all!

Shen Yue is very clear about the process of life and death, and the Qiqi rituals performed by Taoists are not without basis. In fact, the process of human death can be decomposed in slow motion.

When dying, people in the world have several opportunities to obtain liberation, but the opportunities are fleeting and can only be captured by those who have experienced them repeatedly.

Some people may wonder that dying only happens once, so how can we experience this situation repeatedly? But in fact, when you practice meditation to a certain level, you will become very familiar with the dying state.

The first Zen blocks the external environment, the second Zen is uncontaminated in thoughts, the third Zen is joyful and joyful, and the fourth Zen pulses remain still.

In common sense, a person whose pulse stops and stops is naturally dead, but in practice, a person whose pulse stops and stops is more like entering a seed state. Death is not dead, life is not born, internal and external liberation, and the nature of the mind has been revealed. Only in this state can we You can observe the mysteries of the world.

However, this state is somewhat similar to dying. When dying, the mind and body can be cut off for a short period of time, which cannot be controlled by the world. However, in the practice of the fourth jhana, this cut can be controlled freely.

The moment of light produced by the separation of mind and body is like the sun disappearing from the clouds and the candle removing the lampshade. It is extremely bright. However, people in the world are afraid of the light and do not dare to look at it, so they fall into the realm of ignorance where the six paths rotate.

Light is common in practice, and there is a high probability of catching that light, or being reincarnated awake, or realizing liberation.

Those who fail to achieve enlightenment will immediately fall into the bardo of death.

The bardo of death is not the end, but a continuation. During this continuation, the mind is once again obsessed by habits, just like the sun is covered by dark clouds again, and the candlelight is nearly exhausted, leaving people in ignorance.

This is ignorance!

Together with ignorance, the six paths re-enter the cycle.

The Buddha said the twelve causes and conditions, with ignorance as the head of the snake, old age and death as the tail of the snake, the head of the snake swallows the tail, which symbolizes the circle of the six paths of ignorance.

But during the period of ignorance, there is still one sleep every seven days!

In this kind of awareness, people can also get the opportunity to achieve enlightenment. Therefore, in ancient times, wise emperors and generals would ask enlightened people to help them achieve salvation.

The sutras of Buddhism have an awakening effect on anyone in this situation!

Some people can be alert and enlightened after listening to the sutra, and can be reincarnated in a good state. Some people are confused on weekdays, and they are not awake at that time. Naturally, their state is not good.

The salvation will not be complete until after seventy-seven forty-nine days, when the mind is obscured or reincarnated, or enters into a deeper obsession.

This is the principle of secular salvation.

It is a pity that the world is ignorant, or does not understand, or deceives itself and others, and casts a layer of mystery on salvation. The so-called Dharma affairs seek grandeur and pomp, which everyone knows, but they do not know that this is the expansion of various poisons. Doesn't the poison that transcends the emperor add fuel to the fire and increase ignorance?

The key to salvation lies in the enlightenment of the dead and the clarity of the one who saves.

If the person responsible for salvation openly recites the Buddha's name and secretly slanders the Buddha, completely ignorant of the true meaning, and even secretly slanders the deceased, even if the person who is responsible for salvation can make him faint even if his mouth is full of lotus flowers, how can he make others enlightened? This kind of behavior will only make people more enlightened. The dead suffer.

Only when a truly great practitioner lights the lamp of the dead's understanding with the enlightenment of his mind, can this kind of salvation be meaningful.

Shen Yue was able to transcend Lin Lingsu and Wanyan Xiyin, firstly because of the awareness of the two, and secondly because of Shen Yue's clarity and clear understanding of the process.

Whether salvation is effective does not actually depend on the length of time, but on waking up early. In other words, it is more ideal to realize enlightenment on the deathbed than to wake up after forty-nine days, because as time goes by, ignorance will continue to increase, just like a dark cloud. Densely covered, it is even more detrimental to the release of the light of the mind.

Of course, these are all things that happen in one sleep, and the state is extremely short-lived, so it is extremely rare to be a human being, to wake up, and to be aware. The so-called ghosts wandering in the world are definitely a great stupor caused by worldly ignorance. Even if it is a big sleep, it is extremely rare. No practitioner can maintain this state of mind for a long time. How can the so-called ghosts maintain this state for a long time?

Shen Yue is very clear about this. He does not believe in ghosts, not because he is materialistic, but because he has a clear understanding.

That's why he was calculating - the time of Li Xuanba's death was very far away from Pei Mingcui's initial plan. In other words, although Li Xuanba looked down upon the world, he could not transcend the destiny of life and death.

What is the destiny of life and death? It means that one cannot help but keep rotating in this process and cannot escape.

All living beings in the six realms are not controlled by themselves!

If you can escape, then you are already an enlightened person, and the enlightened person is a Buddha. How can you still be as murderous as Li Xuanba?

Shen Yue thought about this process clearly in an instant, and had a key confusion - with Li Xuanba's ability, it is absolutely impossible to do this!

Thinking of this, Shen Yue sighed slightly.

When Li Xuanba saw Shen Yue pondering for a long time and heard her sigh, he couldn't help but shout, "Why are you sighing?"

Shen Yue said slowly, "I understand how you feel."

Li Xuanba was slightly happy. Although he chopped off Shen Yue's hair with his sword, he tried his best, but Shen Yue was shocked and dodged. A master like him would naturally understand the difference.

"If you can really understand how I feel, you shouldn't interfere in the affairs between me and Ming Cui."

Li Xuanba sheathed his sword and immediately returned to his polite appearance, "If you don't intervene, I would be grateful to Li." He was an extremely arrogant person, but he spoke to Shen Yue in such a tone, which clearly showed his disdain for Shen Yue. He is extremely afraid of it.

Shen Yue stared at Li Xuanba for a moment, "Then can I tell you something?"

Li Xuanba said alertly, "Of course you can say it." The implication is naturally - it's up to me whether you listen or not.

Shen Yue smiled instead, "I want to ask you a question, do you know where this place is?"

Li Xuanba looked around and shook his head blankly.

Shen Yue said again, "Then do you know why you are here?"

Li Xuanba's eyes twitched, but he didn't respond.

Shen Yue said slowly, "So you really don't know. Then do you feel that this is like a dream?"

Li Xuanba suddenly shouted, "This is not a dream!" But when he said this, he obviously lacked confidence and showed confusion.

Shen Yue said calmly, "Many people believe that waking up is just waking up, and dreaming is just dreaming. Being confused in a dream is never as clear as waking up."

What he said was like a tongue twister, but Li Xuanba immediately said, "That's right. People in dreams are never as awake as you and me!" He said this, naturally emphasizing that he and Shen Yue were awake.

Shen Yue stared at Li Xuanba and said in a serious voice, "But when I wake up, dreams have one thing in common. Do you know what it is?"

Li Xuanba took a long breath and regained his indifference, "Do I know what you said?!" He was extremely uneasy inside. This was definitely a rare thing. He had never been so uneasy even when facing Xiao Buyi.

Shen Yue said clearly, "Whether we are awake or dreaming, we seem to know the ending, but not the beginning!"
