The fluctuations of thoughts in the Sutra Library are not very sharp, but they are mysterious and mysterious, as if they contain endless mysteries.
Naturally, there is a mysterious feeling that is unchangeable, immutable, in control of everything, and understands everything.
Zen Master Dade was so familiar with this fluctuation that he could vaguely feel it even before he got close to the Sutra Library.
"The way of cause and effect?" Zen Master Dade was slightly surprised: "Is it Wang Lin, the third disciple of the sect leader, or Zhu Yi, the second disciple? He has already gained a lot of understanding and understanding of the way of cause and effect."
There was no magical energy flowing out of his whole body, but as soon as his Zen mind and consciousness came into contact with the fluctuations of his thoughts, the people in the scripture library would naturally feel it.
The fluctuation of thoughts suddenly stopped, and Wang Lin's voice came to Zen Master Dade's ears: "Master Dade, please come in."
Zen Master Dade pushed open the door and entered the Sutra Collection Building. He went straight to the third floor. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Donor Wang's attainments in the path of cause and effect have become more and more profound."
But seeing Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and Shi Tianhao all here, the old monk couldn't help but feel a little strange: "These donors are..."
Xiao Yan coughed dryly and then said: "Master, we are studying the Buddhist cause and effect together, and we have some immature ideas."
Shi Tianhao also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's not mature yet, very immature."
Wang Lin and Zhu Yi stood aside and did not express any objection. They both looked at Zen Master Dade and smiled slightly.
But their appearance made Zen Master Dade feel a little worried.
Because these four proud men in front of him are all extremely confident people, their abnormal appearance now gave Zen Master Dade a vague premonition in his heart.
After contacting Wang Lin to deduce the theory of cause and effect, Zen Master Dade suddenly remembered something that had always been on his mind.
Five years ago in the Great Thousand World, during the battle to destroy Xuan, although he had been injured by falling stones, when the enemy attacked Yujing Mountain, he still insisted on fighting despite his injuries.
Wang Lin and others quickly returned to join the battlefield, but were trapped by Shi Tianfang, the leader of the Samsara Sect at that time. Only then did Wang Lin prove the Dao Yuanshen to turn the situation around.
But in that battle, Wang Lin used a magical power to restrain Shi Tianfang's Karma Red Lotus.
At that time, the battle situation was chaotic, and Zen Master Dade himself had opponents to deal with. He could not see clearly from the sidelines, but he had a vague feeling that the magical power was related to the way of cause and effect, but it was completely different.
Over the years, Zen Master Dade has never specifically asked Wang Lin about this issue.
Because he had a vague premonition in his heart that the outcome of the incident would be extremely unfavorable to him.
This matter was buried deep in Zen Master Dade's heart and was not known to others. Usually, Zen Master Dade would selectively forget it, but now he felt that what Xiao Yan and the others were going to tell him might be related to what happened that year.
related.
Xiao Yan and the other three were also slightly uneasy, but during the time when Lin Feng left the mountain and went to Yinghai, they studied it carefully together for a long time and gained a deeper understanding of the Buddhist way of cause and effect.
The original idea has gradually matured. If Zen Master Dade knows about it, he may still be affected. But it should not have too serious consequences.
If Dade Zen Masters could straighten out their thoughts and confirm each other, it would be possible to go further and experience a new world.
Zen Master Dade is also the person with the highest level of Buddhist practice that they can come into contact with. If he can join in, he will definitely make a huge contribution to the differentiation and sublimation of the Buddhist cause and effect.
"Donor Xiao, you might as well speak frankly. Although I am dull, I have been studying Buddhism for many years and may be able to offer some opinions." Zen Master Dade calmed down, took a deep breath, and said slowly.
After Xiao Yan and the four of them looked at each other, Wang Lin said: "Master, in the past, I asked you for advice on Buddhism's cause and effect. Later, I got it occasionally, but in the subsequent practice process, there were many differences.
the opinion of."
"Some are my own personal experiences, and some are things that happened to other people." Wang Lin recounted the previous discussion with Xiao Yan: "In addition to my own personal experience, some rumors, we also
Go down the mountain separately to verify."
"Except for things that are too old to be verified, we have verified everything that can be verified."
"There are many rumors and rumors among them. Some of them are bizarre and there are indeed internal reasons. They can be hidden from others, but not from us."
Wang Lin slowly said: "But there are also some things, just like my own personal experience when I was a teenager, that cannot be explained by cause and effect. There are not a few such things."
He looked at Zen Master Dade: "Actually, it only takes me one thing to prove that it is not feasible to use the law of cause and effect to deduce the current situation, development, past, present and future of everything in the world. At least it is not feasible.
Incomplete."
"The way of cause and effect is not the supreme road, not the only truth in the world, not the way of heaven, nor the basis of creation, nor the ultimate eternity of all things in the world."
After Wang Lin finished speaking, Xiao Yan and others all looked at Zen Master Dade. Zen Master Dade looked calm and said in an unhurried manner: "Donor Wang, I have lived for so many years and I have not heard of what you said.
"
"My Buddhist sect has existed for tens of thousands of years. In such a long time, it is not that we have never seen similar things."
"Some of the eminent monks of the past generations have had doubts about this, and have carefully investigated the reasons." Zen Master Dade clasped his palms together: "Some things have been found out clearly. Just as Wang Donor said, it is because of rumors or secular people.
Our knowledge is limited because of misunderstandings.”
"Some things are still unclear, but it is precisely because of this that the mystery of cause and effect is revealed. We are in the world of mortals, and our magical powers are no match for karma. There are many things that we cannot understand the truth despite our best efforts. It is not that the truth does not exist, but that
It's us who can't see through it."
Zen Master Dade has faint Buddha light flowing all over his body, revealing the wisdom of perfect enlightenment.
Although he has a pleasant appearance and a calm mood, Wang Lin, Xiao Yan and others never show the aura of Buddha's light.
At this moment, his attitude is still friendly, but he is undoubtedly a lot more serious about what he is discussing. It involves his lifelong belief and belief, the foundation of a Zen heart. Even when facing people from Xuanmen Tianzong, he cannot shake his persistence.
.
This has nothing to do with his respect for Wang Lin, Xiao Yan and others, or even for Lin Feng. It is a natural attitude for a Buddhist monk with a golden body and a second great ability.
Xiao Yan and the other three didn't care at all about this. They were asking questions on the way, as this was what they should do.
"Just like secular people have limited knowledge, they misrepresent some facts and turn facts that should be clear about cause and effect into bizarre insights." Zen Master Dade said quietly: "As monks, I
Our knowledge, abilities, and powers are far beyond those of ordinary people, but we are not omniscient and omnipotent. We are also groping forward on the road of exploring the truth of the world, and there are things we do not understand and do not understand."
"Just because we don't understand the truth doesn't mean the truth is wrong."
Zen Master Dade shook his head gently: "There are thousands of avenues in the world, each of which is different. This is true, but there are many changes and different paths leading to the same goal. In the end, they all end up together."
"Many people refer to it as the way of heaven. But in Lao Na's view, heaven is also a thing, a mind, and a void. There are also causes and effects. The so-called way of heaven is the way of cause and effect."
"There are many great ways in the world. How to understand and understand these thousands of truths? As long as it exists in this world, it is already a layer of cause and effect. Cause and effect is the way, and it is also the angle from which we understand the world of creation. From cause to effect, there must be effect, and there must be effect.
There is a cause, so we can analyze, recognize, understand, and understand the emotional state of all things in the world."
Wang Lin nodded: "Master, I understand what you mean, but since we don't understand the truth, how can we know whether it is right or wrong?"
"Master, please take a look." Wang Lin gently traced a flat stone like a mirror in the void with his fingers. The surface was smooth, reflecting the shadow of a person.
Zen Master Dade stared at the stone, carefully trying to figure out the meaning and artistic conception within it. After a moment, he was horrified and moved: "Although we have only just begun to see the clues, it is vaguely similar to the Three Life Karma Curse of our temple, as if it comes from the same source.
"
"Donor Wang is truly an extraordinary talent. By observing and reading Buddhist scriptures, he is able to understand the path of cause and effect to this extent and incorporate it into his own cultivation."
Zen Master Dade sighed: "If you practice Buddhism, you are also a person with great wisdom."
Wang Lin said: "Master has given me the award. Please take a look at this again."
He absorbed the magical power of the Sansheng Stone, and then showed the magical power of the world of cause and effect. Zen Master Dade saw the door of cause and effect opened, and watched a light point appear at the door, and then light appeared in it, continuing to another light point, and then using it as the starting point.
Continue to extend to the next point of light, nodding repeatedly: "The line of cause and effect..."
The starting point is the cause, the end point is the effect, if there is a cause, there must be an effect. When something starts, it changes continuously along the way. When it stops, a result is obtained.
The next moment, the door to the realm of cause and effect slams shut, and the continuous light regresses from the final end to the previous starting point, and then back to the previous starting point, and so on, and finally returns to the origin of everything.
The past creates the future, and every effect must have a cause. Future results can be traced back to a cause in the past.
Zen Master Dade turned to look at Wang Lin. Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "Master, please calm down."
The door of cause and effect reopens, and light extends from the starting point again. The light stops, and its end point condenses into a second point of light. A second section of light extends from the second point of light. After the light stops, a third light appears.
point.
Zen Master Dade was in doubt when his eyes suddenly widened.
Because he suddenly saw that a fourth light point appeared in Wang Lin's causal world, a completely isolated light point that had no connection at all with the third light point or anything else.
"You!" Zen Master Dade suddenly turned to look at Wang Lin. Because the matter was so important, he focused all his attention on Wang Lin's spell.
Things in the realm of cause and effect are not real tangible things, but manifestations of their principles.
Therefore, the appearance of this light spot is not the result of Wang Lin's manipulation or other magic or his own magic power, but the manifestation of the causal world itself.
According to the principle of causal explanation, it is a thing that appears out of thin air without any cause.
The first light point in the world of cause and effect is at the Gate of Cause and Effect. This light point is the only one created by Wang Lin's magic. Although it is the starting point of everything, the first light point also has an antecedent, which is the Gate of Cause and Effect itself.
But the fourth point of light exists without antecedents. (To be continued...)
