Elder Qingchi personally sent Wang Li back to Zhulin Temple.
They met monks along the way. While they saluted Elder Qingchi, they secretly cast their eyes on Wang Li, with curiosity in their eyes.
Turning up the mountain road, the trees were lush and green, and only two people were left walking back and forth.
Suddenly I heard Elder Qingchi sigh, "Oh, you have already planted your Buddha roots deeply, why do you have to refuse everywhere?"
Wang Li lowered his head and couldn't help but roll his eyes, and responded: "Master, I have only heard that love has deep roots."
Elder Qingchi was choked to silence for a moment and just moved forward silently.
After a while, he came to the front of Zhulin Temple, turned around, and his eyes fell on Wang Li again.
This time, in addition to love, there was more reluctance in his eyes.
Just now in the Zen room of Master Qingzheng, everyone has made it very clear: Wang Lijian cannot become a monk, and there is no need for Bailong Temple to force others to do so.
It's not necessary, not that there is no way.
Qingchi and several other old monks can see clearly that Wang Li has now completed the enlightenment in the sutra and obtained the true cultivation method. With Wang Li's state of mind, his future achievements will definitely be higher than those of the current monks of Bailong Temple.
.If Wang Li is forced to convert him now, then when Wang Li surpasses the person who converted him in the future, he will naturally destroy the methods left by the opponent. It is still unclear what Wang Li will do by then, and he may very well provoke a powerful enemy for no reason.
Or, since you can’t get it now, just destroy it?
This is even worse. Such a sect is not Buddhism but demonism. It is tantamount to directly summoning the inner demons of the eight eminent monks of Bailong Temple. What's more, the vision that Wang Li achieved through enlightenment in the Sutra Pavilion has already shocked the whole temple.
Known by monks.
You can't hide it from yourself, let alone others.
Now that things have come to this, the best way to deal with it is to let nature take its course.
If Wang Li thinks about it later, then Bailong Temple will certainly welcome him; if he still refuses to become a monk, relying on Bailong Temple to make up for his innate shortcomings, and enlightening the Dharma in the temple, he will have his own incense love, which is equivalent to forging a romantic relationship.
Cause and effect.
Bailong Temple is a small temple that practices Zen, which is completely different from some temples.
Qingchi looked at Wang Li now and felt more and more that the disciple he dreamed of was quickly leaving him.
"The lust between men and women is nothing but small love; the Buddha's Dharma is boundless and can save all sentient beings. This is the great love. How can we forget the great love and take the small love?" Qingchi suddenly spoke, with a solemn look on his face, quite solemn.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, wondering why he still didn't give up, so he said: "Since it is love, why should we distinguish between big and small? If there is no small love in the world, there will be no sentient beings. If Buddhism exists alone, how can we save it?"
Qingchi said without hesitation: "Everything in the world has to be given and gained. Those who seek Buddhism should give up their thoughts of lust and strictly abide by the precepts. To save others, save yourself first, and to save yourself, save your mind first."
After hearing this, Wang Li gave up the argument immediately. Although he could still argue with the other party, if he really wanted to talk about Buddhism and argue Buddhist principles, even a hundred of him might not be the opponent of Elder Qingchi.
Then, his face changed, he felt extremely aggrieved, and said bitterly: "Master, I really don't want to become a monk."
Qingchi was suddenly startled.
After a while, he blinked, smiled suddenly, stretched out his hand to rub Wang Li's head, and sighed: "It doesn't matter, it's just a poor monk who has taken pictures. Go back, and if you have any questions, come to me in front of the Sutra Pavilion."
"
Wang Li smiled: "Yes, thank you Master!"
Qingchi glanced at him for the last few times, smiled softly, and turned to leave.
Watching Elder Qingchi's figure disappear into the mountains and forests, Wang Li finally let out a deep breath.
Finally solved a big problem.
He originally thought that if he could find the method of cultivation from the Sutra Pavilion, he would hide it first and wait until Master Jingyuan came back before saying goodbye to him.
He never thought that he had found a way to practice, but he made such a big noise without realizing it. When he woke up in the Sutra Pavilion, he felt that it might be difficult to escape this time.
At least, Wang Li has never been afraid to consider the psychology of others with the worst plan. He felt that he had suddenly received such benefits from Bailong Temple. If he said goodbye and left immediately, he would be really ruined, even if he wanted to leave later.
We also have to ask Master Jingyuan to help mediate.
Never thought about it.
Eight eminent monks sat together, headed by Abbot Qingzheng, who spoke directly. Although the others were reluctant to give up, they were not embarrassed from beginning to end.
This made Wang Li's opinion of Bailong Temple suddenly improve a lot.
At the same time, I also have a good impression of the "Zen" mentioned by Master Kiyomasa.
Buddhism all over the world has the same origin, but it has developed into different sects over the years.
Bailong Temple was not originally a Zen Buddhist temple. It gradually changed in the later development and was completely designated as a Zen Buddhist temple by Patriarch Xuanxin more than a thousand years ago.
What is Zen?
To sum it up in one word: formlessness is the essence, and thoughtlessness is the origin.
The mystery of the thought cannot be understood immediately, but the "empty and stillness" state of mind that Wang Li had when he realized the Miaohua Lotus Sutra is perfectly consistent with "no form" and "no thought".
These were all said by Abbot Qingzheng, and Wang Li gradually felt relieved because of this.
The narrow-eyed abbot would never deceive Wang Li on the core ideas of the sect.
At this point, the three things he was worried about when he traveled through time have all been resolved.
First, the body.
After more than a month of medicated baths and decoctions, he had already recovered. There were also the Baicao Pill given by the old monk Qingwang, and the unknown pill injected into his body by Master Qingzheng. Especially the latter, he was in Tibet at that time.
He hadn't noticed yet in the Sutra Pavilion, but now he was relieved, and he felt that even his breathing felt smoother and lighter than before.
Second, become a monk.
Master Jingyuan is also a wonderful person. He discovered Wang Li's "specialness" earlier than anyone else, and he very much wanted to accept him as his disciple. However, Jingyuan rarely said it directly, and unlike the old monk Qingchi who asked directly
He cooked raw rice into cooked rice by constantly showing off the wonders of Buddhism, thereby attracting Wang Li to willingly worship him as his teacher.
Now there is no need to worry about this problem. The day Master Jingyuan comes back is when he leaves Bailong Temple.
Third, practice.
This is not a problem, because if they have a choice, it is estimated that not many people are willing to give up the opportunity to practice. Not to mention eternal life, at least step in and take a look at the different scenery that only existed in fantasy in the past.
Looking back on the past, he was cautious in his words and deeds. He was afraid of others discovering his abnormality at home, worried about being harmed by bad guys when he went out, and didn't want to cause trouble when he went into the mountains.
So he suppressed his curiosity about the world and even restrained his original intention. He behaved simply and focused on stability in everything.
Everything now has finally lived up to his forbearance during this period of time.
Looking into the distance, you can see the lush greenery and rolling mountains.
The wind blows the pines and creates the blue waves, and the clouds roll thousands of miles into the sky.
Turning around, he took out the key from his pocket, opened the long lock, and pushed open the wooden door.
After entering, he estimated that there would be no more visitors. In the past month, Qingwang was the only visitor.
So he closed the door and bolted it, turned back to the room, and eagerly examined the method he had learned.
As soon as my mind moved, my vision suddenly fell into my body.
This is the [inner vision] that I just gained in the process of enlightening the Dharma.
Dots of fluorescent light shine, illuminating the originally dark space. These lights are attached to the meridians, and these meridians intersect with each other to form a rather complicated road.
The perspective suddenly zooms out.
I saw that these lights seemed to form a lotus in his body.
"Step by step, the lotus grows" is not only the name of the skill, but also the name of the magical power.
Cultivate to a profound state, one step at a time.
This refers not only to the vision he had when he stepped inside the Sutra Pavilion, but also to the great supernatural power of being able to cross space and even travel through three thousand worlds with one step.
In the process of enlightening the Dharma, he saw the old monk taking one step to the end of the world, one step to the end of the sea, golden lotuses blooming, and the light of the Buddha shining in the world.
If you practice according to this method, without the blessing of Buddhism, what will be condensed will be an unmodified green lotus.
However, the color of the lotus is only a symbolic meaning and does not affect the power of the skills and supernatural powers.
If you really want to compare, Wang Li only knows the Chaos Green Lotus, the Creation Green Lotus, and the Merit Golden Lotus. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?
The technique is running and the light is on.
Wisps of breath are sucked into the meridians from between heaven and earth, flowing slowly through the whole body.
Wherever it goes, the skin, flesh and blood, bones and internal organs are all nourished, and the impurities from the day after tomorrow are slowly squeezed or washed out in the immersion and tempering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In the distant ancient times, the first stage of the spiritual cultivation of all beings was called "refining and transforming qi".
However, after countless hundreds of millions of years of changes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gradually been mixed with various mixed atmospheres, which not only affects the purity of the spiritual energy, but also makes the inborn beings contaminated with more waste gas impurities. If it is directly refined through refining
When you start practicing Qi, you will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort, or even fail.
Therefore, adjustments were made at the beginning of the practice in this world. It was necessary to purify one's body first, and at the same time temper a strong body to prepare for further refining the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the future.
This is the first level of spiritual practice in this world: body training! This chapter has been completed!
