Chapter 630: This disciple is afraid of being beaten to death by you; is this the only reason?
Fa Hai already knew about the fact that Bajie broke the precepts about eating meat and fish. The reason why he never mentioned it and did not punish Bajie for it... This shows that the matter actually happened for a reason, and Bajie broke the precepts about eating meat and meat.
This matter of quitting is approved by Fahai.
Fahai himself was a killing monk, and because the consciousness-only teaching focused on cultivating the mind, his control over his disciples in terms of precepts was not too strict.
The Living Buddha Daoji monk who practiced in Lingyin Temple at that time, wasn't it just that "wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sat in the heart"? But who can question his compassion and Buddhism?
Perhaps, it was only him who could never forgive himself.
This is how the world is. You don’t know how to cherish something when you have it. It’s often only after you lose it that you regret it.
Whether it is love, family affection or friendship, it is actually the same.
For Fahai now, apart from the sentient beings in the three realms, the first thing that ranks first in his heart is his disciples, especially the four disciples who followed him all the way to the West to learn scriptures.
Therefore, when something unexpected happened to them, no one was more nervous than him. His Buddhist practice and the cultivation of two eminent monks made it difficult for people to see the joy and anger on his face.
Even Wu Jing, who has always been with Master, can hardly judge Master's true thoughts from Master's external performance.
However, some small habits can still be felt.
Just like Bajie, who just now didn't dare to look up and look at the master's expression because he couldn't get feedback from the master, and was kneeling on the ground shivering...it was because he knew some of the master's temperament and habits, and he himself also "did something wrong"
Something has happened, so it is inevitable that the mind will be unbalanced.
But then when he heard his master's words, his heart finally dropped into his stomach.
After all, when dealing with these disciples, the tone of anger and non-anger is relatively obvious.
In fact, when it comes to trust and tacit understanding, among these disciples, Wukong is undoubtedly ranked first; if we want to say who makes Fa Hai worry the most, it must be Tui Wukong first; and Xiao Bailong, on the other hand,
The most diligent disciple in Fa Hai's heart...
But when it comes to who is the most favored, it is undoubtedly the second disciple with the most unusual heel, Zhu Bajie.
Wukong was conceived by the Immortal Stone that patched the sky with Empress Nuwa. He was a spiritually luminous stone monkey among the four monkeys in the world... Before he met him, he had already learned the skills of heaven and earth from his mentor, and he was able to
He earned the title of "Monkey King, the Monkey King". Even though he was suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he still made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and became famous in the three realms.
Xiao Bailong was born in the West Sea, and his own talent is extraordinary. His eldest brother is the best master in the world, and his brother-in-law is the powerful Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian in the three worlds. It can be said that with such a lowly background, his future will be bright sooner or later. But in
Before I met myself, I was often slack in practice...
Not to mention the origin of Wu Jing, he is the "genuine" Buddhist scripture seeker who was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and left behind nine generations of resentful beings to take form. His understanding of Buddhism... is even better than his own.
Only Bajie, the "little pig demon", had an ordinary background and did not have any special abilities. Even though he received some opportunities as gifts from Marshal Tianpeng before his death, compared to his other senior brothers,
That said, that doesn't even close the gap in origin.
This is also the reason why for a period of time, Bajie chose to "fuck off" on the westward journey. In fact, it was not that he was too lazy... but that he felt frustrated because he could not see corresponding rewards for his efforts.
This was a matter of state of mind and should not be taken lightly, so Fahai did not force him too much and allowed him to practice day and night with a few fellow disciples. As long as he completed his homework for the day, he would be able to move around freely.
One-touch and one-step relaxation is the most suitable practice method for Bajie.
But sometimes, when Bajie saw his brothers practicing hard one by one, he felt really sorry and couldn't join in the practice... But over time, he looked away.
I am an ordinary pig, and I am satisfied enough to have the honor of being a disciple of Master, so why should I compete with these "evildoers"?
Doesn’t that mean that one’s pure heart is at odds with oneself?
Having figured out this problem, Bajie's life became more and more comfortable on the way west. Of course, he did not fall behind in his daily practice and Dharma, just under the arrangement of his master.
, practice in a planned and step-by-step manner.
Not only Master Fahai, but also his brothers and sisters also pampered Bajie along the way.
Even though Wukong often fights with Bajie, if you really want to talk about it, the relationship between the two brothers is really good... Let’s not talk about anything else, just ask Xiao Bailong and
Wu Jing, do you dare to call Wukong the "monkey suffering from the plague" or "Bima Wen"?
When the two of them met the Great Sage, they always respectfully greeted him as "elder brother."
However, Bajie just raised his head at this moment. He still knelt in front of Yunjing and confessed his mistake to the master in a deep voice: "Master, since I have violated the precepts, I still ask the master to punish me."
"Um?"
However, when he heard Fahai snort, Bajie, who had just calmed down, was immediately startled. His eyes stared blankly at the master, wondering if he had said something wrong.
"As a teacher, I have to punish you." Fahai's eyes were a little harsh at this moment, which made Bajie dare not look directly at him for a moment, "but it's not because you broke the precept of meat and fish."
Wu Jing on the side was actually winking at the second senior brother, but Bajie was almost entirely focused on his master now, and had no time to look at junior brother Gu Sha's eyes. At this moment, when he heard the master's words like this, he felt even more panicked.
I don't know how to respond, and I seem to have no idea.
In fact, from Wu Jing's point of view, the second senior brother has always been very smart. Although the senior brother often calls the second senior brother a fool, the second senior brother can gain something every time he has an idea...even better than studying Buddhism ten times by himself.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, the master taught the second senior brother the method of Zen practice, and it was really consistent with the second senior brother. Since then, the second senior brother's cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds.
Finally, before arriving at Lingshan, the results of my practice were achieved.
"Tell me yourself, when did you break the precept?" Fa Hai was also quite patient with Ba Jie.
"This...ah...my...disciple..." Bajie muttered for a long time, and then he suddenly realized why the master's attitude had changed, "Three years ago."
"Three years." Fahai said in a deep voice: "Since you broke the precepts three years ago, why didn't you come and apologize to me when you broke the precepts three years ago?"
Bajie was speechless...what could he say?
Said: Is this disciple afraid of being beaten to death by you?
But Bajie was indeed afraid of Master's punishment. In the days when he first broke the precepts, he was in constant panic. He couldn't sleep well all day long. Sometimes even when he fell asleep, he would dream of Master coming to arrest him.
Throw yourself into the flames of the Great Sun Buddha, and let yourself suffer the pain of refining your heart as a punishment.
Even though they are often tested by the Great Sun Buddha Flame along the way, it does not mean that they are willing and able to bear the heart-burning pain... Even Wujing is not immune to the Great Sun Buddha Flame now.
When being burned, he didn't say anything. It can only be said that he has a strong willpower...and Bajie was always the first among his brothers to be unable to bear it.
"Tell me about it." Fa Hai raised his cassock and said, "As a teacher, I want to hear what you have to say."
Fahai naturally heard about Bajie's breaking of the precepts from the mouth of the six-eared macaque... He didn't want to care about it at first, but now he saw that Bajie didn't seem to understand the real problem, so
I still need to give him a good heads up.
"yes."
Bajie, who had already come to his senses, naturally realized his mistake deeply. He also knew that the reason why Master wanted to punish him again was not because he had broken the precepts about meat and vegetables, but because he had broken the precepts about meat and vegetables and failed to report it to Master in time.
I made it clear that I met Master today and used the matter of "breaking the precepts" to apologize to Master... This obviously made Master unhappy.
But now that Master has given him a chance to make amends, Bajie will naturally not waste it and quickly explains: "Master, this matter is not complicated."
"That day, I originally went to the vicinity of Changbai Mountain in search of some wild food for seasoning..." Bajie began to tell the story of why he broke the precept that day, "Before entering the mountain, I heard that there was a snow monster living in the mountain, and it was extremely dangerous.
She is beautiful, and often seduces young men who go into the mountains to hunt, and sometimes sucks their yang energy, or at worst, harms people's lives... After hearing about this, the disciple transformed into a young man who went into the mountains to hunt, trying to lure the snow demon out.
, slay demons and eliminate evil for the people.”
"Um."
Fahai still agreed with Bajie's determination to slay demons, but he still asked another question, "Is this the only reason?"
Bajie actually wanted to be harsh, but when he looked at his master, he already knew what he was doing. I'm afraid he had been beaten to death by Junior Brother Liu'er. Now the master asked him to say, I'm afraid
It was to allow myself to tell the truth about the cause and effect, as well as what I really thought in my heart at that time... If I had any more secrets to hide, I'm afraid Master would really not let me go.
Now that things have happened, Bajie has also broken the pot. Since he can't hide, he might as well say it openly to show his calmness, "Master, you know that this disciple has given up lustful thoughts back then, but if
When I meet those beautiful women, I still can't help but look at them sideways... But I swear, I am just curious about how beautiful the snow demon is, and I don't have any lust at all... If I violate this oath,
Please burn it under the flames of Master’s Great Sun Buddha.”
As we all know, if you really have "God", you can't swear easily.
Otherwise, once the oath is violated, there will be a response.
Just like Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong back then, when they were teaching each other martial arts, they made an oath, saying that if they concealed anything, Luo Cheng would die from thousands of arrows, while Qin Qiong said that he would vomit blood and die.
As a result, Luo Cheng concealed the carbine, and Qin Qiong did not teach him the killer trick... In the end, Luo Cheng was framed. When fighting with Liu Heita and Su Dingfang, he and his horse fell into the mud, and the ambushed archers fired random arrows.
Shoot to death.
Qin Qiong also suffered from injuries, and eventually died of a sudden illness while vomiting blood on the bed.
In fact, this has something to do with the identities of the two of them. You must know that Li Shimin descended from the Ziwei Star, and whenever this time comes, there will be stars from all over the sky to help the new king. Luo Cheng is the White Tiger Star, and Qin Qiong
It was General Zuo Tianpeng.
It's just that now the White Tiger Star has reincarnated into the lower world as Xue Rengui, and because of the awakening of the power of Xue Rengui's own human bloodline, it has helped the White Tiger Star soul that was originally imprisoned on the list of gods to escape. From then on, there is no White Tiger Star Lord Yin Chengxiu in the Three Realms.
But there is an additional Tang War God Xue Rengui.
And Qin Qiong... After his death, his soul did not return to heaven. Instead, he and Yuchi Gong, the reincarnation of the Black Evil God, were granted the title of the emperor on earth. From then on, he became the "left and right" gate gods, and enjoyed the incense of the world.
And the status of this door god was later consecrated by the Jade Emperor of Heaven. From then on... these two true gods must be enshrined on the door of every household.
Speaking of which, the reason why the two of them became door gods is inseparable from the Dragon King of Jinghe back then.
At that time, Li Shimin always felt bad because the Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded by Wei Zheng in his dream, so he often dreamed of the dragon soul demanding his life at night. Later, it was the two generals Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong who guarded the door all night.
Let Li Shimin sleep peacefully.
After this incident was spread among the people, whenever there were nightmares and evil spirits disturbing them, the people would draw pictures of the two generals and stick them on their doors. Sure enough, they could sleep peacefully until dawn.
After all this, Li Shimin didn't even need to go down to the imperial edict. The people's spontaneous incense worship was enough for their souls to ascend to immortality and become the gods of incense and fire. The souls just didn't have the imperial edict. After all, the name was not justified.
After Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong died of illness, Li Shimin officially issued an edict to confer them the title of Door God and Grand Marshal of the Protector of the Country.
Hearing Bajie's oath, Fa Hai said: "Even so, your lustful mind has probably not been eradicated... All living things are born with lusty nature, otherwise how can they reproduce? As long as lusty nature is
As long as it doesn't turn into lustful thoughts, it won't be a serious problem... Besides, everyone has the love for beauty, but it's just a measure of it. You have to be careful and careful, otherwise once you cross the line... I will not let you go."
Bajie made an oath, and if he really makes a mistake, Fahai will definitely give him a profound retribution.
Bajie is obviously also very aware of the power of such oaths. In addition to showing his magnanimity, he also wants to use this oath to keep himself alert at all times. When he has broken the precepts of killing and eating meat, he should not
If he breaks the precept of sexual immorality again, he then makes an oath: "Disciple, I swear again, if I have the heart of adultery in the future, I will be devoured by ten thousand thunders."
This shows how firm the Eight Precepts are.
But Fahai actually knew that the reason why Bajie repeatedly made vows and expressed his Taoist stance on lust and fornication was actually to pave the way for the "vegetarian precept".
