The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the bamboo shadows were whirling. Under the cool moonlight night, a black shadow passed quickly through the purple bamboo forest...
The tranquility of the distant mountains and the continuous flow of Buddhist chants add a more solemn and solemn atmosphere to this Buddhist holy land. Even in the middle of the night, several large Buddhist temples suspended in the air are illuminated by golden light.
It is constantly shining, like a huge sun, bringing light that is rare in the dark night to Jiuchan Temple.
A few green cows squatted in a shallow stream on the right side of the purple bamboo forest to taste the sweetness. In a large open space further away, there were several huge elephants, dozing with their eyes closed.
Although there is a constant stream of chanting sounds, on this undisturbed night, Jiuzhan Temple is exceptionally peaceful, as if it is truly isolated from the world, leading people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
To the north of the Purple Bamboo Forest, a huge valley is entrenched under the Buddhist wall of Jinshan Mountain, making it even more spectacular and majestic.
Deep in the valley, there are tall golden bamboo rocks. The roots of these golden bamboo rocks stand upright. The shortest ones are even meters taller than the purple bamboos outside, while the tallest and largest ones are as magnificent as mountain peaks.
There are many golden bamboo rocks in the valley. Although they are not densely packed, they are all over the valley. There are many golden bamboo caves in these valleys. They are attached to the largest golden rocks. Some are like caves, and some are more like palaces. They are all gathered in the valley.
the central area.
The night is cold and the fields are silent. Many eminent monks from Jiuchan Temple are practicing in the valley, and this valley is Chi Qingyang's hiding place - the Snow Zen Forest of Jiuchan Temple.
The so-called Snow Zen Zhulin actually refers to this kind of golden bamboo rock that only grows in the boundary of Fozhou. Those tall bamboo peaks and low bamboo rocks are the body of the rock and the spirit of the vegetation. They are a grand plan.
An extremely rare kind of wood and stone in the world.
This kind of wood and stone is formed due to the geographical environment. It is naturally modified and gathered together to resemble a bamboo forest. Not only that, the aura in the Golden Bamboo Rock is the most sacred aura of righteousness in the world. This aura of righteousness is very important for worshiping and practicing Buddhism.
For Buddhist disciples, it is the best source of vitality of heaven and earth, so Zen Master Liaoyuan designated this place as the holy land and forbidden area of Jiuzhan Temple.
In fact, saying it is a forbidden area is just a deterrent to outsiders.
Many years ago, when Zen Master Liaoyuan and his disciples founded Jiuzhan Temple, they indeed designated Snow Chan Zhu Forest as one of the rare forbidden areas in the entire grand world. No outsiders were allowed to enter Snow Chan Zhu Forest, even
He is a monk cultivator of Jiuchen Temple, and he is not allowed to set foot in the holy land without any merit. But Zen Master Liaoyuan was the leading figure among Master Hongtu at that time. What he said, even the most powerful at that time
The Lord of Jiujie Mountain also dare not disrespect him.
However, as time went by, the descendants of Jiuchen Temple became worse and worse with each generation. In the end, no one completely inherited the mantle of Master Yuan Zen, and it gradually became depressed.
During the darkest period of Jiuzhan Temple's reputation, in order to preserve the bloodline of Jiuzhan Temple, the abbot of the temple had to open the Snow Zen Forest, providing it to the disciples and descendants of strong men from all continents and even the strong men themselves in the great world.
They came to pay homage to the Buddha to purify their hearts and overcome their karmic obstacles, because they discovered that the "Three Thousand and Six Hundred Chapters of Widely Promoting the Dharma", "The Enlightenment of the Great Heaven's Path", "Seventy-two Mantras", and "The Dharma of Compassion and Benevolence" were laid out in this forest.
...and so on. The essentials of Buddhist scriptures can help practitioners who are obsessed with evil, seriously injured, or even unable to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation and are in a chaotic state of mind to return to their original hearts and clear away demonic obstacles.
From then on, the Snow Zen Forest in Jiuzhan Temple became a holy place. Many strong people who had not made progress in cultivation came one after another, requesting to enter the Snow Zen Forest to meditate and succumb to demons, and Jiuzhan Temple also
Taking advantage of this, it slowly regained its former prestige.
Until now, it has almost become a routine for powerful men from all continents in the Grand World to want to use Xuechan Zhulin. In order to maintain the relationship with the various tribes in Jiujie Mountain, Jiuchan Temple has not canceled this practice, but as
As the reputation of Jiuzhan Temple increases, the conditions for entering the Snow Zen Forest gradually become extremely stringent. The first point among them is that it is impossible to obtain the ninth rank of Jiuzhan Temple without the recommendation of a truly powerful person.
With the permission of the presiding abbot.
This is also the reason why Chi Qingyang can take refuge in the Snow Chan Forest, but Xiao Luqi and other people from the Xiaoyue Sect cannot approach the Jiuchan Temple.
Because after that incident happened, Chi Qingyang, who was eager to take refuge, found Lezheng Xuankong. Lezheng Xuankong was from Huangxu, and his teacher Fei Ling was a well-known strong man in the world of chaos.
It is not difficult at all to give him a recommended place with the help of Xu Xu. Moreover, Huang Xu has always been famous in the world of chaos and has a long heritage. Although Jiuchan Temple's status in Minkong cannot be compared with Huang Xu, after all, it was established many years ago.
Once famous, it is unknown to outsiders how many private connections and entanglements there are between these two major forces.
At night, deep in the Snow Chan Zhu Forest, a relatively dense cave paradise emits soft green light.
Snow Chan Zhu Forest is divided into three parts...
The first part is the Buddha Rock near the outside of Zhulin. It is the place where a large number of Buddhist scriptures are carved in the entire Zhulin. There are golden bamboo rocks everywhere, ranging from mountains to small golden bamboo rocks. They can be seen everywhere, and there are a lot of them.
For the sake of density, Zen Master Enzen, the founder of Jiuchen Temple, wrote his masterpiece of Buddhist scriptures that he had studied for a generation in this place. He left his divine power and Buddhist inheritance here, and made use of the dense golden rock in the Foyan area.
, a formation was set up to protect the Snow Chan Zhu Forest.
When this formation was at its peak, it could operate on its own, allowing more than 430 formation changes to be deduced. And if Zen Master Yuan himself controlled the derivation, the number of changes could be increased to about one hundred.
There are about 530 kinds of formations, which is about 530 kinds. This number is enough to break through to the sixth level formation. It can be seen that Zen Master Yuan himself also has a very deep understanding of the formation.
The entire Buddha Rock area is the gateway to the entire Snow Zen Forest, and is also a huge maze. If you want to move freely in the Snow Zen Forest, you must wear "Miluo Tan Beads" personally blessed by the Buddha's teachings by several abbots of Jiuchan Temple.
OK, if you don't have the "Miluo Tan Bead" blessed by Buddhism, if you walk in rashly, you will definitely be trapped by the huge golden rock forest, going around in circles, and you won't be able to get out no matter what.
The second part of the Snow Chan Zhu Forest is the Tibetan Sutra Valley. This part is just behind the Foyan area and is a large deep mountain valley with rolling hills.
In the Sutra Cave, all the stone walls and mountains are engraved with densely packed scriptures. The source of these sutras is the legacy left by Master Yuan Zen and the previous masters of Jiuzhan Temple. Among them, there are many natural scriptures in the Sutra Valley.
There are quite a lot of caves and blessed lands dug by humans, and each cave is neither close nor far from each other, about half a mile in length. However, the locations of these caves are very good, and they can be said to be a gathering place between heaven, earth and sun.
The top treasure land of moon essence.
Moreover, the Cave Heaven Paradise is full of Buddhist sutras that can cure inner demons, eliminate karma, and calm the mind. Generally speaking, as long as practitioners who have inner demons or karma come here, they don’t need to practice. They just need to deal with it.
Reciting the scriptures on the wall every day, and then reciting the secret method of the Heart Sutra taught by the Taoist monks of Jiuchan Temple several times can completely calm down the state of mind. When there are inner demons, reciting them can eliminate the inner demons, and there will be no inner demons.
When reciting it, you can also calm your mind and help your cultivation level to improve rapidly.
It is precisely because of such miraculous effects that Jiuchen Temple is highly praised. Countless celebrity monks wish they could be honored to enter Jiuchen Temple to practice. They block the gate every day, asking for help from the Buddha to enlighten him.
In fact, Feng Jueyu did not come through the main entrance of Jiuchan Temple. If he had come through the main entrance, he would definitely see several rows of simple huts and two pavilions outside the gate of Jiuchan Temple, about halfway up the mountain.
, that place is called Wenxiang Pavilion, which is a place specially designed for visitors to stay temporarily. Wenxiang Pavilion basically has a constant flow of pilgrims every day. How many people even know that Jiuchan Temple is difficult to enter, but they still sharpen their heads to get in.
Some people have lived in Wenxiang Pavilion for several years and have not left for more than ten years. They want to go to the Snow Zen Forest to have a look. However, in the end, only one or two out of ten people can really achieve their wish. This is because
To enter the Snow Zen Forest, you not only need to pay for very expensive sesame oil, but you also need to be introduced by someone, and most people will not entertain you.
After the Tibetan Sutra Cave, there is the most important part of the Snow Chan Zhu Forest, and it is also the true origin of the word "forbidden area". This place is a secret canyon at the end of the Snow Chan Zhu Forest. It is said that the end of this canyon is a dead end.
There are distinct mountains with complex topography, and this canyon is where Master Yuan Zen became famous, and where all the secrets of Jiuzen Temple are now. This canyon is called "Wisdom Valley".
The wisdom of Buddhism is reflected in four aspects: "wisdom of accomplishment", "wisdom of wonderful observation", "wisdom of equality" and "wisdom of the great round mirror".
"Chengzuozhi" refers to the five senses of ordinary people.
"Wonderful observation wisdom" refers to the sixth consciousness, which is said to be able to distinguish between good and evil.
And "knowledge of equality" is what Buddhism emphasizes. It is the seventh consciousness that is superior to the sixth consciousness. The seventh consciousness is called Wei Na consciousness, also called transmission consciousness. It refers to the seventh consciousness before a person understands it.
Consciousness, until enlightenment, turns into the "wisdom of equality", which is a key stage in the transition to the eighth consciousness.
After the eighth consciousness, what is transformed is the "Great Round Mirror Wisdom." What is the nature of the Great Round Mirror Wisdom? It is pure and without impurities.
According to legend, only when you reach the final stage of cultivation can you truly possess the great wisdom of heaven and earth. You can withstand life and death; know the past and know the future; you can even go back and forth in reincarnation, and you are omnipotent.
Zen Master Liao Yuan, the first abbot of Jiuzhan Temple, had a lifelong dream to focus on the eighth consciousness, which has the same effect as practice. It is said that Zen Master Liao Yuan was already very close to this step, and in the eyes of the outside world,
If you have transformed your eighth consciousness and reached the state of "Great Circle Mirror Wisdom" in the same year, you can ascend in the daytime, undergo transformation and become a Buddha.
