Chapter 509: The Ascension Realm is Completed (4000 words, two chapters in one)
For Chanxin, Su Li's appearance really made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"To be honest, Donor Su, I am in a very bad state now. When I was trying to achieve the Ascension Realm, I suddenly had a trace of doubt.
And it was this trace of doubt that gradually magnified in my heart.
Now, it has become a kind of inner demon.
I tried my best to suppress it, but the more I suppressed it, the more this doubt eroded my heart.
Benefactor Su saw that Lao Na still had some sense at this time. That was because Lao Na had sealed his heart with a secret method.
But this kind of blockade has limits. After the time is over, the rebound will be huge.
If nothing else, after Benefactor Su leaves, within a day or two, I will become possessed by the devil.
Fortunately, donor Su came here.
If there were no donor Su, the entire Leiyin Temple would probably be buried with me.
As long as Donor Su goes out and tells them that I can no longer save Lao Na, and asks them to activate the Lei Yin Temple magic circle to wipe out Lao Na, then Lei Yin Temple will be spared and Lao Na will not commit a heinous crime.
"
And listening to Chan Xin's request, Su Li was not unable to understand.
Indeed, the best way now is to leave the secret realm immediately, and then convey the words of enlightenment to the monks at Leiyin Temple.
Finally, the monks at Leiyin Temple will activate the magic circle to erase the secret realm of Chanxin.
And Master Chanxin will also completely die along with this secret realm.
However, Su Li felt that the final step had not yet been reached.
"If it really comes to that point, then this junior will go out immediately and convey your words to Master Chanxin.
However, this junior feels that there is no need for the master to give up at this time."
Su Li first agreed to the other party's request to reassure the other party, and then expressed his intention.
"The juniors don't understand the Dharma, but if the master doesn't mind, you can tell the juniors your doubts.
Maybe some of the crude insights from this junior can give you some inspiration, Master."
Listening to Su Li's words, Chanxin hesitated and remained silent for a few breaths, then nodded.
In fact, Su Li really didn't have much confidence in solving the other party's doubts by himself. After all, the other party was an accomplished monk, and the doubts in his heart must involve very deep issues.
Su Li proposed this completely because he wanted to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
After all, I come from Blue Starfish, a planet with an explosion of information. What I learned in one day on the Internet may be what farmers in ancient times learned in ten years.
I know more or less about the philosophies of life, philosophy, etc. I read on the Internet.
What if I can really give some inspiration to Master Chan Xin?
The reason why Chanxin nodded was not because he believed that Su Li could really help him.
Chanxin didn't want to waste Su Li's kindness.
Furthermore, from Chanxin's point of view, let this donor Su do his part.
Afterwards, Donor Su will feel better. At least in Donor Su's heart, he will not feel the regret of "not saving his life" and "if only I could have reached out, maybe the result would have been better."
"Donor Su, please take a look."
Chanxin tilted his head.
Where Su Li followed Chanxin's gaze, he saw a towering tree.
The tree is Bodhi.
To be honest, such a big bodhi tree is quite rare for Su Li.
When he was in the Dragon Palace, the Bodhi tree that Su Li saw was only half the height and circumference of this Bodhi tree.
"What happened to this Bodhi tree?"
Su Li said doubtfully.
Is there anything wrong with this Bodhi tree? Isn’t it growing quite well?
Chanxin shook his head and sighed softly:
“This bodhi tree was planted by the first abbot of Leiyin Temple, Patriarch Bosheng.
It has a history of seven million years.
After that, every abbot of Leiyin Temple would come here to wipe the Bodhi tree every half a month.
Patriarch Bosheng once said:
“Every time we wipe this Bodhi tree, we are wiping our own hearts. The more transparent our hearts become, the closer we can get to the essence of Buddhism.
This is just like reciting Buddhist scriptures. As long as you study the Dharma diligently, the longer it takes, and after a certain period of time, you will definitely become a Buddha."
However, if this is the case, then I will wipe it once every half a month to once every seven days.
Or once a day, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
Every monk recites Buddhist sutras all the time.
So, wouldn’t it be possible for me, my old monk, to become a Buddha, and wouldn’t it be possible for everyone to become a Buddha easily?
However, why are there so many monks in the world who recite Buddhist scriptures every day, but their ultimate Buddhist attainments are not as good as a child who has read half of the Buddhist scriptures?
Was the founding abbot of Leiyin Temple wrong?
Or is it actually because I didn’t understand the profound meaning of our ancestor?”
At this point, Chanxin's brows were already furrowed, even showing a rather painful look.
It seemed that deep in his heart, the confusion that he had finally suppressed and stopped thinking about was encroaching on Chan Xin's reason bit by bit.
Su Li was also stunned for a moment after hearing this question from Chan Xin.
I seem to have heard this philosophical question before.
Isn't this the story I heard in my previous life on Blue Sea Star about the fifth ancestor Zen Master Hongren traveling with his disciples, the eldest disciples Shenxiu and Huineng?
However, in this world, Master Shenxiu appeared, but Master Huineng did not seem to appear.
In fact, in fact, such a philosophical question will not drive people to the point of becoming possessed.
Most of them just stop thinking about it and put it aside.
After all, who would think about this all day long, or even if it affects their own life?
However, at this time, Chanxin was in a critical period of retreat.
If you have any little doubts in your mind that are not cleared up in time.
Then it is very likely to lead to obsession.
Not to mention, at this time, Chanxin was questioning the thoughts of the founder of Leiyin Temple.
He even wants to overthrow the ideas of the founder of Leiyin Temple.
In other words, in this era, this kind of behavior is tantamount to "deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestor".
Su Li is now a little unsure whether to tell the "Bodhi Verse" written by Lan Haixing and Master Huineng.
The concepts of Master Shenxiu and Master Huineng cannot be said to be right or wrong, but they are two different opinions.
There is even a saying that it was Master Huineng's "Bodhi-gatha" that created a new school of Buddhism and was the opposite aspect of Master Huineng's thoughts.
When he was in the Dragon Palace, Su Li told Wu Ming the "Bodhi Verse".
But different words have different effects on different people.
For Wu Ming, maybe it was just some realization.
But for the master of interpreting the mind.
Otherwise, Master Chan Xin’s faith will collapse and he will immediately become a demon.
Otherwise, Chanxin will wake up and enter a new school.
"Donor Su, do you have something to say?"
Seeing Su Li's hesitant expression, Master Chanxin asked.
Su Li closed his eyes and thought for a moment. After ten breaths, Su Li slowly opened his eyes.
The first words Su Li said made Chan Xin's pupils shrink slightly.
"Master, have you heard these four sentences?
The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand, which should be brushed diligently at all times to prevent it from attracting dust."
Su Li's voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting Chanxin's heart hard!
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. I brush it diligently at all times to prevent it from attracting dust.
The body is a bodhi tree."
Master Chanxin kept reciting the four lines of poetry that Su Li just said.
These four lines of poetry are undoubtedly the best description of the thoughts of the first abbot of Leiyin Temple.
But before Master Chanxin could fully digest Su Li's words, the next moment, Su Li's next words hit Master Chanxin's mind like five thunderbolts!
“However, there is another poem called Bodhisattva, which says:
No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror.
The Buddha nature is always pure, no matter where there is dust!"
Chanxin looked at Su Li dreamingly.
However, although Chanxin's gaze was on Su Li, it seemed that Su Li was not in his eyes, but that he was trapped in his own world.
Chanxin stood up blankly and faced the Bodhi tree.
yes.
What is the Bodhi tree? The Bodhi tree is originally named after a person.
There was no bodhi tree in the first place, and it was not a bright mirror stand.
As long as the Buddha nature is pure, where will there be any dust?
If that's the case, what's the dust?
Chanxin felt the two concepts in his heart violently impacting each other.
This symbolizes the different paths of Dharma.
Chan Xin felt that the four lines of poetry Su Li mentioned later could completely create a path to Buddhism for the heart.
But Chanxin felt that there was still something missing.
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror.
The bright mirror is originally pure, but it is stained with dust!"
Just when Chan Xin's brows were furrowed and her head was cracking due to the violent collision of two thoughts, Su Li continued to speak.
When Su Li finished speaking.
Chanxin has already closed his eyes and sat down under Bodhi.
These four sentences are further explanations and extensions.
The body of all living beings is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind of all living beings is like a mirror stand.
A bright mirror is inherently clean, so where does it get dust?
From trees to living beings.
In the heart of Chanxin, the path to Buddhism becomes clearer and clearer!
At the same time, the Buddha's light shone in the sky above Leiyin Temple.
Although there were no monks chanting sutras, the sound of chanting could be heard from Leiyin Temple.
Golden Buddha lotuses bloom out of thin air, gorgeous and flawless.
Countless rays of light fell, and the white clouds in the sky turned golden.
In that small town more than sixty miles away from Leiyin Temple, many people raised their heads and looked in the direction of Leiyin Temple.
Various auspicious Buddhist visions appear and disappear.
The whole town was like an overwhelming crowd. People knelt down one after another and kowtowed again and again in the direction of Leiyin Temple.
In Leiyin Temple, although I don't know what happened, many monks have already started chanting Buddhist scriptures.
The Buddhist rhymes of Taoism and Buddhist visions merged with each other. The solemn Buddhist scriptures spread throughout the mountains. Even some small animals closed their eyes and felt it carefully.
But within the secret realm, Su Li had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
But in front of him, Chanxin had already entered the Tao, and was thinking about Buddhism that was different from that of the founder of Leiyin Temple.
Su Li did not continue reading.
Because the next four sentences are the four most widely circulated sentences in the Bodhi Gauge. Some people once said that they are the four core ideas!
Master Chan Xin is currently in pretty good shape, and there is still room for maneuver.
But when these four sentences are spoken, the Buddhist principles that Master Chan Xin studied in Leiyin Temple since childhood will be severely impacted.
After a long time, Master Chanxin slowly opened his eyes.
In his kind eyes, there is chaos, kindness, entanglement, demonic nature, and Buddha nature.
Su Li could feel it.
At this time, Master Chan Xin's thoughts were already like a taut string. If he said the next four Bodhi verses, the other person would either become a Buddha or become a demon.
Just in one thought.
"Donor Su, please continue."
Chanxin made a "please" gesture.
He also knew that Su Li had not actually finished speaking.
"Master, do you really want to listen?"
Su Li put his hands together and saluted.
Chanxin turned around with a smile, looked at the huge bodhi tree, stretched out her hand to touch it, like stroking a baby's skin.
As if he understood something, Chanxin slowly spoke, each word sounding like the voice of the Buddha:
"Bodhi. There is no tree.
Even a bright mirror is not a platform."
Listening to Chan Xin's words, Su Li was surprised this time!
Buddhism is universal!
This master of mind interpretation understood the last two sentences of "Bodhisattva"!
But that’s all these two sentences.
Afterwards, the explanation of the mind is just shaking the head, unable to arrive at the most core Buddhist principles.
"well"
Chanxin said the eleventh salute to Su Li.
"Also please ask Benefactor Su to clarify my doubts."
"Master, please look at Bodhi again."
Noticing that the demonic nature and entanglement in Chan Xin's eyes were becoming more and more serious, Su Li knew that he could no longer hide himself.
The ideological confrontation between Master Chan Xin has reached its deepest point. If he does not resolve his doubts, Master Chan Xin may become possessed on the spot.
Listening to Su Li's words, Chanxin turned his head and looked at the bodhi tree for the third time.
"Master, what did you see?" Su Li asked.
"A bodhi tree." Chanxin answered truthfully.
"Yeah?"
Su Li smiled and shook his head.
"Is there really such a thing as Bodhi?
Does this bodhi tree really exist?
Or is it that Bodhi actually does not exist, but the master thinks that Bodhi exists, so Bodhi exists."
After Su Li finished speaking, Chan Xin's pupils suddenly shrank.
Master Chanxin felt that something in his heart was slowly being pierced.
It's like a chicken has gently pecked the egg shell at the same time.
But this little chicken was still trapped and couldn't get out.
Immediately afterwards, Su Li was heard slowly speaking with his hands behind his back:
"There is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust?"
"boom!"
In Chanxin's mind, there was still a blank.
Chanxin stared blankly at the Bodhi tree in front of him, and kept chanting, as if he was in a daze.
"There is nothing in the first place. Where is the dust?"
“Where is the dust?”
Su Li continued to add the last strong medicine. In this way, the Bodhisattva verse was finally complete:
“Bodhi is only sought from the heart, so why bother seeking mysteries from outside?
I heard that by practicing this way, the West can only exist now!"
"Amitabha."
Chanxin put his hands together and sat cross-legged.
From this secret place in the capital of the ghost kingdom to Leiyin Temple, and then to Leiyin Temple for thousands of miles, everything was shaken, like an earth dragon turning over.
Buddha's light spreads all over thousands of miles.
An hour later, Chanxin had reached the state of ascension and reached perfection.
