Chapter 105: The Heart Witnesses the Tathagata, I am the World Honored One
In this competition, Monk Luzong took the initiative to take a step back.
Immediately, the abbot of Jingye Temple asked to see Lu Yuan Bodhisattva. Zen Master Zi Xing arranged for them to stay in the monk's residence first, and then went to report to Lu Zhengkang.
In the afternoon, when the sun was shining warmly, Lu Zhengkang was practicing Qigong on Liantian Peak.
There were many people coming and going near my residence, so it was not a good place to exercise, so in order to hide away, I went to a mountain peak with few tourists.
Abbot Zi Xing knew where he practiced, so he took a familiar route to Liantian Peak.
Lu Zhengkang took a left lunge, raising one hand and pressing down with the other. He maintained this posture, as quiet as a rock.
This style is imitated by Venerable Supintuo, also known as Tuota Arhat.
The left hand is raised to represent the pagoda. Because the pagoda is for the Buddha's burial relics, the pagoda is used to recite the Buddha's name.
Apply the fearless seal under the right hand, which represents wisdom and understanding and the compassion of the Sacred Heart.
I visualize Subinda Arhat in my heart, feeling endless joy and smiling on my face.
Lu Zhengkang followed the instructions honestly and did not tamper with it. Luohan Kung is the foundation of Shaolin's high-level martial arts. After practicing it to its full potential, it can create a Vajra body. The Vajra's internal force can operate more smoothly. It can not only rectify Yang Qi and drive away cold evil, but also open up the body.
Wisdom of vision, night vision.
Regarding the principle of growth of internal strength, Lu Zhengkang has not yet fully figured out the idea, so following the path of his predecessors can be regarded as a beneficial path. Only in the future when he is in a high position and can he study martial arts that suits him can he get twice the result with half the effort.
The abbot looked on. The Bodhisattva appeared as a little monk. He looked very ordinary. This made the monk somewhat emotional. The previous incarnation of the Bodhisattva was too solemn and people were afraid to get close to it. But now he is very approachable and can save all living beings with infinite wonderful manifestations.
As expected, the reason for the appearance is that people in the world are too deeply attached to the appearance.
Zen Master Zi Xing watched the Bodhisattva's martial arts performance with his Dharma Eye and his mind. He saw a strong flash of light in front of his eyes, and could hardly see anything else clearly. There were more than ten figures standing or walking in the outline of this shining human form, and the standing ones were holding their heads to the sky.
, The movement shakes the earth, and the majestic momentum makes people frightened.
The abbot withdrew his Dharma Eyes and stood quietly.
Lu Zhengkang spent two-quarters of an hour on each pose. He was practicing the exercises wholeheartedly and did not care that there was another person around him. Zen Master Zi Xing had also reached the state of returning to his original nature. His body was like a dead tree and his heart was as gray as ashes. He was no different from the stones on the roadside.
, so by the time the Luohan Gong is completed, the old bald donkey here will almost be smoking from the sun.
Lu Zhengkang dusted off his clothes, his sweat flying like butterflies, turning into light and disappearing in the air.
"What does the abbot want from me?"
"Bodhisattva has made great progress again. I am very happy to congratulate you." Zi Xing bowed and said, "I, Shaolin, won this competition, but Abbot Rukong of Jingye Temple wanted to see you and came here to report."
"Take him to my place. I will be in the house before supper."
Zen Master Zi Xing resigned, leaving behind the lonely mountain breeze.
Looking into the distance, the weather is so nice.
The sky is as blue as the ocean, and the flowing clouds are like islands. The light wind blows non-stop, and the cloud islands move gently, like lazy giant beasts, but they are very dull and rarely make sounds.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that these soft and fragile clouds would erupt into roars of thunder?
Lu Zhengkang has a lot of thoughts. People say that freedom is the breeze, but this freedom is imposed by people. Like all problems, if there is no thinking, there will be no problems.
If you can stop thinking, you will be liberated.
Everything is natural, let nature run its course, that is the way of heaven.
The big thinking of the East is always in line with the huge system of the evolution of the universe. It does not linger on the past and does not resist the future.
Where in life is not Zen?
Lu Zhengkang sat down cross-legged, and his mind returned to his body.
In a hazy dark world, there is inner energy flying across the sky like a long dragon, circling, marching, and surrounding a huge mountain in the void.
A single mountain peak, no matter how great it is, will be flattened by time. As an isolated thing, separated from the system of cosmic evolution, it will be abandoned in the sandstorm in the corner of history.
How is Mount Sumeru described in Buddhist scriptures?
Mount Sumeru is the center of the world, a square shape with eight mountains and eight seas surrounding it.
As the eternal pillar of heaven, Mount Sumeru is a symbol of all greatness, and can also be extended to a firm belief.
So what is the cycle of the world like?
Creation, existence, destruction, and emptiness, the birth, development, decline, and destruction of a universe are, of course, inescapable.
Such a philosophical and vague summary is of course an irrefutable truth, but it would be quite ridiculous to use it as a basis to provide some data full of errors and omissions to support the truth.
The predecessors have explained all the truths, but the truths are "inexhaustible". Later generations insist on explaining them all and creating a so-called rigorous system to explain the origin of all things. This is not progress, but a regression.
Master said benevolence, Lao Tzu said, Sakyamuni said Zen, they are all one. They were so outstanding that they left people who came after them with no way to go. They could only talk about mysteries and strange things in the name of their three sons, introduce mystery, and turn thoughts into
religion.
A universe has its destruction and rebirth, and the principles of all things are the same. Old theories are no longer up to date, so the essence should be taken away as soon as possible and the dross should be discarded.
Lu Zhengkang has a vague plan for the future of Buddhism, provided that he can become the Buddha who speaks the truth.
But how can a human being be a Buddha?
Buddha is the entire universe.
So what he needs to do is not to incarnate the universe, he just needs to be stronger than everyone else, then his principles are Buddhist principles.
I have to say, this is sad.
It is the heart that limits sight.
All appearances are false. If you see all appearances as non-appearances, then you will see the Tathagata.
Lu Zhengkang fell into deep meditation.
I saw the Indra net again, which is an attribute of the superior condition and represents all causal evolution.
Once, he only raised a corner slightly. This time, Lu Zhengkang's mind was stronger and he longed for more. He reached out his hand, or in other words, reached out his mind and touched the Indra's Net.
The scenery changes in an instant like a wild stream.
It is as gorgeous as the undulating sea of light with sparkling ripples, and the mist is like layers of colorful clouds turning into hundreds of birds in the wind.
The red dust is billowing, the grass and trees are withering, and a huge amount of colors are changing rapidly, and the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind are all blurred.
Lu Zhengkang felt that he seemed to be moving, and then seemed to be frozen in the void.
All senses are sending mixed messages, and nothing can be trusted.
Consciousness is not worthy of being relied upon to survive hallucinations.
Only the mysterious upper boundary line pulled him slowly closer to that great existence, his Sambhogakaya.
Finally, everything disappeared and he fell into a warm embrace.
…
After the meditation ended, Lu Zhengkang frowned.
He felt as if he was in contact with his Sambhogakaya, but his memory was chaotic and filled with redundant information.
What exactly did he come into contact with behind Indra's net?
Look at yourself and see that nothing has changed.
Looking inside the Pure Land Pearl again, the blurry form of the Buddha statue with Sumeru on its back has appeared, and its hands are in the meditation mudra, solemn and dignified.
A will more noble than Mount Sumeru is entrenched in the Buddha statue, governing the four poles and dominating the three lives.
This is exactly the Sambhogakaya of Lu Zhengkang.
Protected by the Sambhogakaya, the Pure Land Pearl sparkles like a diamond in the upper edge.
This harvest is an inexhaustible treasure.
Maybe you can explore it for a lifetime.
Lu Zhengkang sighed and stood up, returning to his residence in the temple.
The abbot of Jingye Temple has been waiting here for a long time.
"Are you Lu Yuan Bodhisattva?" Lawyer Rukong saluted with his hands folded.
"I am Lu Yuan." Lu Zhengkang looks like a young monk, unremarkable.
Lawyer Rukong had a calm expression and did not make any arrogant comments. He said bluntly: "I hope the Bodhisattva will give you the righteous Dharma and promote Buddhism."
"Okay, you go and burn all the classics in your temple first, then you can obtain the Dharma."
The monks were shocked.
Abbot Zixing ran over and whispered: "Why did the Bodhisattva say this?"
Lu Zhengkang tied the Dharma seal on his hands and said calmly: "Because I have become the Tathagata, I should be the World Honored One."
After saying this, the monks saw a giant Buddha in front of them in a trance, stretching out a palm, and the universe was experiencing birth and death in a cycle that would never end.
Such a wonderful realm transcends the ordinary world of mind.
