Li Chen stood on the top of the peaks, with clouds and mist lingering under his feet, and the sound of wind in his ears. Looking up, the peaks bowed their heads, and the monks were silent.
Exactly: When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.
But such a shocking scene seemed like nothingness in Lichen's eyes, as calm as water.
Because setting foot on Purpose Peak is the first step to establishing a clan.
The next challenge is the key to establishing a clan.
Initiate the name of the clan and state the purpose!
Establishing a clan is equivalent to overcoming a tribulation.
Standing on the Purpose Peak and proclaiming the "Zong Name" and "Purpose" to the monks is also proclaiming the way of heaven.
If heaven allows it, there will be a natural phenomenon, and the Buddha will send down the golden light of Buddha, which will bring good fortune and auspiciousness.
But if God does not allow it, then the sky is cloudy and Buddha will rain down thousands of thunderbolts and burn his body with flames.
At the worst, one will lose all his cultivation and become a mortal, unable to practice any more.
If it is severe, it will turn into ashes and never enter reincarnation.
So climbing to Purpose Peak is the first step.
The real danger is the subsequent establishment of a clan!
All the monks were holding Buddhist mudra, their mouths were moving slightly, and the faint scriptures echoed in the mountain.
The breeze blew and the trees rustled.
Li Chen calmed down and turned a deaf ear, only to see that he was always solemn and majestic. After a few breaths, he finally opened his red lips and said, "He said 'Heart Master'."
Xin Zong is the name of the sect.
No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror.
There is nothing there, so where is the dust?
It was originally written by Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in his previous life.
In the previous life, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, Confucius, and Laozi were known as the "Three Great Saints of the East", and Europe listed him as one of the "Top Ten Thinkers in the World".
Huineng had a sudden enlightenment on the Dharma, and advocated: do not establish words, teach outsiders separately, directly point to the human heart, and become a Buddha by seeing one's nature.
As the saying goes: Cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the mind, Buddhism is nothing more than the mind, because the mind has no external things.
Therefore, at this moment, Lichen establishes his sect as the ‘Heart Sect’.
In the final analysis, the theory of Xin Zong also comes from Zen Buddhism.
But compared to Zen Buddhism, Xin Buddhism advocates "knowing the mind and seeing one's nature" and "sudden enlightenment and becoming a Buddha".
When Li Chen spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally used the "Jiulong Yin".
The name "Xin Zong" seems to have magic power, traveling back and forth between the mountains.
Wherever he passed, there were monks clasping their hands together and chanting the name of the Buddha.
In the blink of an eye, the sky suddenly became dense with clouds, and there were faint flashes of lightning.
"not good!"
"The way of heaven is different!"
On the high platform, Abbot Yinfa narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky. The inexplicable pressure coming from around him was terrifying.
There is quite an illusion that the storm is about to come.
Could it be that killing Buddhist disciples to establish a sect has failed?
Abbot Yinfa made a deep sound, which was probably the epitome of all the monks at this moment.
"Um?"
Agua frowned. He sat on Li Sao's head and his legs were held down by Li Sao.
At this time, the strength on the legs became stronger and stronger.
Hmm~ It seems that it remains to be determined whether we can eat chicken.
"Assembled in the sea of lotus ponds, Amitabha Tathagata and Avalokitesvara came to sit on the lotus pedestal. They were led up the golden steps, the great oath was proclaimed, and the universal vows left the dust of the world.
Namo Lotus Pond Sea will meet Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Namo Lotus Pond Sea will meet Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Namo Lotus Pond Sea will meet Bodhisattva Mahasattva!"
Not far away, the young monk Miaodi rested his head and kept reciting the Amitabha Sutra.
Obviously, he was also very worried.
The old monk Pukong next to him was much calmer, his eyes staring longingly at the young figure in the sky.
If you can set foot on Purpose Peak, even if you fail to establish a clan, it will be worth it!
The lightning in the dark cloud turned into an electric snake, rolling and swaying in it.
But after a cup of tea, the thunder never struck.
All the monks heaved a sigh of relief, which meant that the 'Heart Sect' established by Li Chen had been recognized by Heaven.
On the Purpose Peak, Li Chen's face was still neither sad nor happy. He turned around in a circle, as if there was nothing outside of his mind.
"The leader of the Heart Sect says: No thoughts are the sect."
Finally, Li Chen read out the first tenet of the Xin Sect.
The purpose is the method and rules of the Xin Sect’s understanding of Buddhism.
All the heart sect lineage must conform to its own purpose.
If the purpose is established, the heart will be established.
If the purpose fails, the heart sect will fail.
"Since the beginning, we have gradually established non-thought as the sect, formlessness as the body, and non-dwelling as the foundation.
To realize Prajna Samadhi is to have no thoughts. What is the name of no thoughts? Those who have no thoughts see all dharmas and are not attached to any dharmas; they are everywhere and are not attached to any place."
As soon as this first tenet came out, all the monks in the Zen forest fell into thinking.
Those who have no thoughts only have no thoughts in their hearts, and there is nothing outside their hearts.
Everything is based on non-thought.
It is in line with the Zen poem Li Chen recited before: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand.
I don’t know why after hearing the first tenet of the Xin Sect, many scriptures immediately emerged in the minds of the monks to corroborate it.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this first tenet is already unfathomable and endlessly memorable.
But for some reason, the sky suddenly darkened, and it turned even gloomier than before.
It's like the monks can touch the clouds in the sky by raising their hands.
But the majesty of the way of heaven fell, making the monks feel like they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.
'It's over, now the disciples of the Buddha who were killed will be implicated!'
At this time, there were many monks who were terrified, but because of the remaining power of heaven, no one could move.
I could only listen to Li Chen continue:
"Second: Dinghui and other studies."
“The body of concentration and wisdom is one and the same, that is, concentration is the body of wisdom, and wisdom is the function of concentration.
That is, when there is wisdom, concentration is in wisdom; when there is concentration, wisdom is in concentration.”
This tenet advocates the unity of concentration and wisdom.
Different from Zen Buddhism, "wisdom" and "concentration" are separate in Zen Buddhism.
Wisdom is the original wisdom, the root of innate wisdom.
Concentration is the concentration of mind, which is acquired understanding.
The separation of ‘concentration’ and ‘wisdom’ makes the threshold of Zen Buddhism infinitely higher.
However, invisibly, many difficulties have been added to the popularization and dissemination of Buddhism.
The second tenet of Xin Zong has a different view: 'wisdom' and 'concentration' are essentially one.
The two are the basic potential of human beings, and practicing Buddhism is to tap into these two potentials.
It's just that some are fast and some are slow.
This article in disguise has greatly expanded the scope of Buddhist practice.
"Clang!"
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky.
The originally dark world suddenly turned pale, and then turned into endless darkness.
"He violated the law of heaven!"
"This is the wrath of heaven!"
"Stop talking!"
"Stop talking!"
There were many monks in the Zen forest looking at the sky with livid faces. At this time, they kept praying in their hearts that Li Chen would stop.
But there is a monk on the top of ten thousand mountains, with a wild smile on his face: "Hahaha, God help me!"
"Heaven help me!"
In Leiyin Buddha's heart, only he himself has the chance to succeed in establishing a sect!
Everyone else is just his stepping stone.
The more Li Chen offends the wrath of Heaven, the greater his chance of becoming the leader of Buddhism again.
And becoming a Buddhist leader will be a key step for him to realize his ambition!
