So the young novice and the old monk sat next to Yamazaki.
"Little monk, here you go." Gu Linger handed over a bag of snacks.
"Thank you so much, female donor." The young novice monk was not polite, he was used to it.
As for the method of using true energy to hold objects, he knows how to do it.
Although he is still young and has no magical power, he was cut off by the old monk since he was a child, and now he is also a genius.
…
Travel during the day and rest in the evening.
Scorpio drives away insects and ants, and Yuan Xing sets up a warning formation, which is also hidden.
Gu Ling'er took out the yard, Shaoyao and Li Jingxun opened the door to the left and right, stood at the door and asked everyone to come in.
One is the personal maid, and the other is the junior, and they are the ones serving tea and water.
…
The two courtyards just appeared out of thin air.
The young novice was stunned, but the old monk didn't care.
He had explored it a long time ago. Although he didn't get to the bottom, he sensed from Buddhism that these people had merit and were not bad people, so he did not stop the little novice from going up the mountain to play.
…
The old monk and the young novice were arranged in the front yard, with Yamazaki and Scorpio as neighbors.
The two of them had no objection, cleaned up the room, went on to do evening classes, and then went out to eat.
It is a completely vegetarian food, although there are many varieties, but it is a simple meal.
But in the opinion of the old monk, this is very good, much better than that kind of exquisite vegetarian banquet.
Plain and simple is the truth.
…
After dinner, I had nothing to do but play chess.
Scorpio and the old monk had a serious game of chess, Yamazaki played against the young monk, and a group of little girls nearby caused chaos.
We played until late at night, did evening classes, and then went to bed.
The little novice monk couldn't sleep, "Master, who are they?"
"Amitabha, the gathering and dispersion of fate are caused by cause and effect. They have been neighbors with us for more than ten years. If they have intentions, they are not harmful to others. Don't be wary and worry about it. Just sleep peacefully."
"oh."
…
The next morning, after morning class, I had a hearty meal of porridge, steamed buns and pickles, and then set out on the road.
A puppet carriage travels thousands of miles a day, without stopping if not necessary. It has two meals a day. If you feel hungry in the middle, you can only eat some snacks.
For convenience or something, use infuriating energy to adjust and stimulate the intestines and stomach.
The little novice monk was a little uncomfortable at first, but he gradually got used to it.
…
On the way, Yamazaki talked about Buddhism with everyone (just words in the book).
Buddhism has three stages. The first stage is when Buddhism was not established. Even the Buddha was not clear about it and was confused and exploring.
I kept moving forward on the path of seeking, and finally reached the highest point in the world, and found that there was no way ahead. If I wanted to transcend heaven and earth, I could only survive the Great Nirvana.
The second stage is after the establishment of Buddhism and before the Conferring God War.
Buddhism began to widely spread Buddhism, which was later called Hinayana Buddhism, which meant that people could eat meat and marry without caring about worldly things.
The reason for this is that not many people firmly believe in Buddhism and they are not willing to give up everything in order to become a Buddha.
Since you can't change people's thinking, you can only cater to people's habits and slowly educate them.
But since these people are reluctant to let go of mundane things, they are inevitably bound by cause and effect. When they succeed in practice, they will naturally become Arhats at most and cannot become Buddhas.
At that time, there were also people who became Buddhas, so there was the so-called Hinayana Buddhism.
In fact, Buddhism is not divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. Becoming a Buddha only depends on enlightenment and how much you can let go.
The third stage is after the Conferring God War, Buddhism became famous all over the world.
There are many people who are willing to give up everything in order to become a Buddha.
Many people became Buddhas, so Mahayana Buddhism came into being.
It is said that as long as one takes the precepts and practices and does not eat meat, he can become a Buddha, but those who eat meat are the Hinayana Buddhists and can only become Arhats.
In fact, there are no taboos in Buddhism.
And Buddhism also has a place in the six paths of reincarnation in the underworld.
Therefore, there is only one source of becoming a Buddha, and that is cause and effect.
As long as you have a firm heart towards the Buddha, and after years of accumulation, or even dozens of lives of suffering, you will be able to let go of enough, and then achieve full enlightenment and become a Buddha.
In comparison, Daomen is a little worse in this regard.
Although it is possible to accumulate good fortune and luck, it takes many reincarnations to get a chance to become a heavenly being, and the chance to become an immortal directly is even less.
As the number of causes and effects in the human world increases day by day, it is not easy to become a human being in heaven, and it is also increasingly difficult to become an immortal directly.
On the other hand, becoming a Buddha can actually be seen as a strong obsession.
This is actually similar to the devil's path, because the devil's path is also an obsession. The deeper the obsession, the stronger the demonic nature.
The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately means letting go of everything, achieving great enlightenment, and realizing the cause and effect, and then you can naturally become a Buddha.
…
On the way, I also talked with the old monk about Buddhism and the scenery.
He just didn't talk about practice, lest the old monk learn any Dharma from him and hand it over to Xuan Yan, which would cause huge consequences.
…
Fast forward more than nine years, and I arrived at Nanjingguan from the Western Capital.
There are two Buddhist temples built in Nanjingguan. One is a Buddhist temple that has existed for a long time and is dedicated to the farewell Buddha Wu Jieya. The other is a Buddhist temple that came with Yang Linglong and was built a few hundred years ago and is dedicated to the Buddha of Amitayus.
The former accepted the incense, and there was a lot of people inside, because everyone knew that it was the real Buddha, and that he was in the human world, in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The latter does not accept incense from outside and is managed by dedicated personnel sent by the Taimiao Temple.
…
The old monk asked the Farewell Buddhist Temple to lend a place for his apprentice to be ordained, and he got permission.
Buddhism opens the door to convenience, making it convenient for others and yourself.
What's more, we are all members of Buddhism, and Buddhism in the world is one family.
After being ordained and ordained, the young novice monk received the title of Xuanji.
The old monk's merits and virtues were complete and he felt more and more that time was running out, so he asked his apprentice what he wanted to do next.
Xuan Yan didn't know why, "Disciple, I don't know what Master means? Please tell Master clearly."
"That's all. Let me tell you straight. My merits have been perfected and I will pass away soon."
"ah!"
"Idiot, don't worry about it. When you enter my Buddhist door, what you seek is perfection."
"Yes, it's just that the disciple can't bear to leave his master."
"There is a saying in the secular world that you will be successful at thirty, and you are almost here now. Tell me, what do you want to do next?"
Xuan Yan scratched his head in confusion, "How about I wait for Master to pass away and then send Master's body back to the temple?"
The old monk was dumbfounded and slapped him with his hand.
"You are not needed for this kind of thing. Besides, I want to be buried here as a teacher. I have a lot of Buddhist aura."
"Hehe." Xuan Yan rubbed his head, "That disciple wants to walk around."
"First go and see the Buzhou Mountain left by the Great God Pangu, and then go to the Buddhist Kingdom in Hezhou, Xiniu, to see if you can go to the Buddhist world and enter the Lingshan Mountain."
"When the time comes, maybe I can go to Buddha's Paradise and meet you again, Master."
The young monk spoke full of longing, and the old monk touched his beard with a look of longing.
"Traveling around the world is not a bad ambition."
…
Xuanbi's decision made Yamazaki hold a meeting to discuss how to follow up.
Everyone was used to Yamazaki's arrangements and expressed their willingness to listen to him.
In desperation, Yamazaki also announced his idea - to continue to move forward, continue to use the puppet carriage for the time being, and wait and see.
Everyone had no objection, so Yamazaki went to talk to the two monks.
Xuan Yan was very happy, but said that he would wait until his master passed away before leaving.
