Milo observed carefully and found that the methods used by Long Po Tongdan, in addition to his own spiritual ability, were also blessed by some power of oath. He narrowed his eyes slightly, covered the light in his eyes, and praised: "
With the blessing of the precepts, is this the essence of Baixiang Kingdom’s Buddhism?”
When Luang Phor Tongdan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, clasped his hands and said: "It is exactly the precepts. The Buddhism of the White Elephant Kingdom emphasizes the path to the cessation of suffering, seeking pure nirvana, and relief from troubles and pain. Therefore, we worship the World Honored One, practice precepts, meditate, and spread the Dharma."
The precepts are integrated into the oath. Today, there are 227 major and minor precepts, each of which has different effects."
"Generally, people who believe in my Buddha can resist the weak erosion of chaos by observing the five precepts of not killing, not stealing, not committing sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol, and can live normally in the land we have opened up. On this basis,
By increasing the precepts of wearing incense, abstaining from sitting and lying on high and wide beds, and abstaining from eating out of season, if you achieve the eight precepts, you can resist most influences of chaos, travel freely around the place, and even engage in fishery work. Above the eight precepts are the ten good deeds, that is, not killing living things.
, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, no double-talk, no harsh words, no idle talk, no greed, no anger and no wrong views. Once you achieve this step, you can enter the Buddhist temple to practice. I have practiced hard for many years, and
However, observing the seventy-six precepts is far from being pure and comfortable."
"I wonder what precepts you observe?"
Milo asked with a smile and got an expected answer.
According to Luang Phor Tongdan, among the seventy-six precepts he observes, about forty of them restrict his daily behavior, such as how to travel, how to eat, how to speak, and how to act. Some are similar to behavioral codes, but more strict and unique.
Absolute standard.
Listening to the commandments spoken by Luang Phor Tongdan, Ji Luo beside him was dumbfounded. If it weren't for the fact that every time Luang Phor Tongdan said a commandment, the aura on his body would become stronger and he would gain some kind of power.
With such blessing, Jiluo thought he was joking.
But the hidden blessing made Ji Luo very jealous, especially the spiritual protection, physical strengthening, physical enchantment and other changes brought about by some oaths, which made him couldn't help but ask whether he could be blessed.
.
Unexpectedly, Luang Phor Tongdan, who had met him earlier, did not answer his question.
Ji Luo frowned, and the girl in the forest next to him smiled and said: "Didn't you listen to the precepts he said before? The sixteenth precept of transmitting the Dharma includes not being condescending, and not condescending to teach the Dharma. There is also not to teach to people who are condescending.
When he is teaching the Dharma, those who interrupt without authorization teach the Dharma."
Hearing this, Ji Luo apologized first, then squatted down slightly, looked level with the other person, and spoke again.
This time, Luang Phor Tongdan clasped his hands together, placed his thumb just below the tip of his nose, and said: "The precepts I keep are based on my Buddha. If the lord is willing to accept my Buddha's faith, he will naturally be blessed by the precepts."
Hearing this, Ji Luo frowned and responded that he needed to think about it, then stood up without saying anything more.
After Milo waited for him to finish speaking, he looked at Luang Phor Tongdan and asked, "Are you observing the precepts just for your own purity?"
"That's it. The environment in which we live is miserable. Only through asceticism can we be purified and gain liberation. Does the great sage have a different view?"
Milo smiled and said: "It's not that I have a different view, but although Hanxia Buddhism has precepts, it is far from being as rigid as you and others. It is almost empty of the four elements..."
Milo slowly introduced Han Xia Dharma and Luang Po Tongdan's exchange. The more he listened, the more he frowned. However, he did not interrupt Milo's words. Instead, after Milo finished speaking, he opened his mouth to raise his objections.
After a brief exchange between the two parties, Milo also discovered that the other party's system was closer to the Hinayana Buddhism in his memory, or the Southern Buddhism.
difference.
The "Dharma" here does not refer to Buddhist dharma, but to all things in the world. It generally refers to all colors, phases, objects, shapes, or conditioned dharma.
The "I" here deserves to be the sum of the four elements. If the four elements collapse, I will not exist. For example, a house is composed of wood, metal, mud bricks and tiles. Together they become a house, and
A house has no self-nature, and so do people. This is where I am empty.
The simple understanding of the so-called "I am empty" is that although the house is empty, the wood, metal, mud bricks and tiles are substantial. Therefore, I am empty, but the four elements are real.
Although this statement is a bit one-sided, the general meaning is this.
In contrast, the human method Er Kong believes that not only I am empty, but even the wood, metal, mud bricks and tiles that make up the house do not really exist. They are all the product of the combination of causes and conditions, and everything is just the manifestation of self-knowledge.
That's all.
This difference in cognition naturally leads to different directions of derivation between the two parties.
In addition, the living environment of Buddhism in the Southern Islands is not very good. On the one hand, it has to face the oppression of the mainstream sects in Baixiang Kingdom, and on the other hand, it has to face the pollution of chaotic evil energy. This also makes the Buddhism practiced by Luang Phor Tongdan appear very...
Rigid and excessively pursuing discipline.
This may be suitable for the environment of the Southern Islands, but it may not be suitable for the practice of Buddhism.
After all, the essence of Buddhism is enlightenment, which guides people to be good and develop in a good direction.
Simply relying on precepts and rigid scriptures to forcefully fix a person's behavior and thoughts will inevitably lead to over-persistence and loss of nature.
Therefore, the exchanges between the two parties became more and more intense, and various visions emerged around them.
There was a faint Buddha light surging around Milo, mixed with some concepts of the truth of the southern demonic religion. The two aspects confirmed it, making it increasingly difficult for Luang Phor Tongdan to deal with it.
If it weren't for the wisdom light similar to Buddha's light rising around Luang Phor Tongdan, with the auras of order intertwined among them, forming a tight protection to resist all external forces that might affect him, the visions around him would have been suppressed by Milo's Buddha's light.
But at this moment, Luang Phor Tongdan could not speak to Milo, many distracting thoughts emerged in his heart, and his wisdom and order became weaker and weaker.
Finally, as some pure intentions appeared around Milo, and even the surrounding vegetation was purified, Luang Phor Tongdan knew that he was walking into the other side, so he stood up, clasped his hands together, put his thumb between his eyebrows, and bowed slowly: "Wish to bet
Accept defeat and ask Azan to allow me to practice with you."
Milo raised his hand, helped him up, and said: "I only know the basics of Hanxia Buddhism, and it may not be suitable for this place. However, what you have learned is closely related to Hanxia Buddhism. You and I can discuss and learn from each other.
"
Upon hearing this, Luang Phor Tongdan bowed again. This time, his hands were higher, almost on top of his head. While bowing, he bent his knees and knelt down directly to perform a great salute.
Milo lifted him up again and took him into the woods.
During this period, Ji Luo wanted to speak, but was stopped by the eyes of the girl in the forest that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
After watching the other party leave, the girl in the forest who was controlled by Milo looked in the direction of Han Xia and whispered: "Speaking of which, it's New Year's Eve for Han Xia today."
At the same time, in the Miaoyou Sect of Hanxia Yangzhou, A Gong, who was helping to build a new palace, suddenly stopped, looked in the direction of the void, and whispered: "At this time?"
Milo saw this and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Miluo, today is New Year's Eve. Are you interested in joining us in cleaning up the filth accumulated in Hanxia last year?"
Hearing this, Milo was stunned for a moment: "Can I participate? Isn't this the annual gathering of the Hanxia gods?"
"In the past, it was difficult for you to participate, but this year is different. Didn't you take charge of Yangzhou's sovereignty over the underworld? Yangzhou recognized your identity, and you can handle this situation as the King of Hell. Speaking of which, last time I went to exchange Xingyun
When you were talking about the principles of cloth rain and Shinto flames, many great gods hinted at me and asked me to help you ask how you gathered sovereignty and occupied Yangzhou's underworld. We just took advantage of this opportunity to expand and stabilize Hanxia's underworld.
one time."
After saying that, Ah Gong pointed to the location of the Sui Bu and the Jiazi Yuanchen Palace suspended above it, and said: "Besides, now that you have just completed the Eight Bubu, you can take advantage of the change of the year to complete the Tai Sui God.
replacement."
"Is that so? That's fine!"
Seeing Mi Luo nodding, A Gong lowered a ray of divine light and landed in Jiazi Yuanchen Palace. The originally somewhat illusory body changed from the form of the fifth-grade Tai Sui God to the appearance of a half-virtual and half-real general.
He also got a name - General Ren Yin Tai Sui Zhi Sui.
Then, Milo and A Gong projected their power into the palaces of the gods. At this time, the gods gathered here, with many divine lights intertwined and thousands of splendors gathered. The power of each god, through the palaces of the gods,
It flows over the land of Hanxia, constantly gathering and suppressing the turbid evil energy accumulated in the earth's veins and under the earth, as well as the dark atmosphere accumulated in major cities.
During this period, the people in these cities were also holding various grand celebrations. The crackling of firecrackers and the many colors reflected by the colorful lights dyed the land of Hanxia colorfully. The filthy atmosphere suppressed by the power of the gods gathered in the Hanxia land.
Under the power of these festivals, they exploded one after another.
At the same time, in the territory of Miluo Miaoyou, the phantoms of several gods in the Fulu and Joy Mansion were eager to try. Miluo frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard a voice: "Don't you have the name of the God of Fortune and the God of Joy? Why?
Not summoned?"
Milo turned around and saw that it was the God of Taiyue Mountain. He bowed slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to meet Mr. Fu, but I don't know if it's appropriate."
"What's inappropriate? We are gathered here today to deal with the filth accumulated in the world over the past year. Naturally, there are as many methods as we can use, so why hide it?"
The words of the Taiyue Mountain God made Milo feel a little ashamed. At this time, the emperor holding the bead and the fairy boy Qingli on the side also deliberately joked: "How can he hide it? This kid has gathered the names of many gods. Some time ago, he was holding Ah
Gong helped collect many principles and principles, and has obviously made great progress. Now I am eager to take the bus at the end of the year and improve my strength to a higher level, but I am still relatively thin-skinned now, so I am sorry."
"How could you say that?"
Before Milo opened his mouth, Ah Gong, who had brought him here, was unhappy. He pointed at Qingli and mumbled angrily: "It's obviously a fair transaction for everyone, and I exchanged the equal Tao and Dharma principles with them for Mi Luo."
During this period, I earned intermediary fees, and Milo and several gods obtained the Tao principles and principles they needed. Is there anything wrong with this? Back then, when you asked me to collect the Tao principles and principles to enhance my authority.
, but I’ve already said this method, why doesn’t it work?”
"Ha ha!"
Seeing this, the Taiyue Mountain God laughed loudly, pointed at Qingli and said, "You usually like to tease A Gong, but now he is facing outsiders. Let me see what you do in the future."
As an old man who had been reincarnated once, Qingli naturally would not feel embarrassed because of this matter. Instead, he used this matter to expose each other with the Taiyue Mountain God: "What's the matter? Milo has outstanding abilities, plus
He has special power, don't tell me you don't like him?"
After saying that, he looked at Milo again and said: "Let me tell you, Taiyue is very optimistic about you. By the way, I remember that you also gathered the corresponding time sequence authority, so you can take this opportunity to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
Improve it by one or two. If it's lacking, I can help by one or two."
A Gong was originally a little confused about how to respond because of Qingli's previous words. At this time, he couldn't help but said happily: "Your information is too late. Milo has already taken that step and doesn't need your help."
Saying that, A Gong looked at Milo.
Miluo smiled, and Miaoyoujing Jiazi Yuanchen Palace appeared behind him, but at this moment, the time was approaching the New Year, and the appearance of General Renyin Taisui and Zhi Sui changed accordingly, turning into the appearance of Guimao Taisui, and Jiazi Yuanchen Palace
The name that appeared in the middle was also transformed into General Guimao Taisu Zhisui.
Qingli and Taiyue glanced at each other with expressions of surprise. They looked at General Guimao Taisui and said in surprise: "God of Taisui in the Sixty Years? You actually embody this name?"
"What's wrong with the name?"
Milo was stunned for a moment and looked at the two gods. Qingli smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. It should be said that you can condense this name, which is the best. This means that Han Xia and I are stronger.
"
Seeing that Milo was a little confused and A Gong was also confused, the Taiyue Mountain God explained: "His Royal Highness Zhulong left in the past, and Hanxia's timing authority has just returned, so the power of timing is not strong. This is why you condensed timing in the first place.
When it comes to related power, many gods are very concerned about it. But now, you can actually condense the names of the gods of time sequence at this level, which means that His Highness Zhulong has further digested the authority of time sequence. Isn't it the power of Han Xia and I?
constantly improving?"
After saying that, the Taiyue Mountain God looked outwards, feeling the turbid air on the earth condensed to the extreme, and said: "Okay, no more nonsense, the time has come for the change of time, let's take action together!"
After saying that, the Taiyue Mountain God took the lead in using his divine power to suppress the turbid air in the eastern state.
pa: The Buddhism of Baixiang Kingdom refers to certain Southern Buddhism, but the two are not the same thing. Please don’t take it too seriously, and I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I will stay up tonight and there will be another update.
