"Old monk, I have some doubts in my heart. Can you give me some advice?"
"Please speak, ancient layman."
"How can I ask for my true self?"
Gu Qingfeng originally didn't intend to ask for his true self, he didn't want to know his true self, let alone his true self, he didn't have much interest in his true self, and he didn't want to know his original self.
only.
Now that he had found his true self by chance, he thought that since he had taken this step, he had to finish it no matter what, and simply seek his true self directly.
"The ancient layman shouldn't ask me this question, and I can't answer the ancient layman's doubts."
"Then who should I ask? Who can answer my questions?"
"You should ask the ancient layman himself."
"Ask me?" Gu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled; "If I knew, would I still need to ask you to clarify my doubts?"
"If even the ancient layman himself doesn't know, then I don't know even more."
"hehe."
Gu Qingfeng smiled.
The old monk was still the same as before. He spoke in a cloudy manner and always liked to hide his words.
Sometimes he wonders whether all these old Buddhists have this kind of virtue.
The old bald donkey Da Xing Madang is like this, and the same is true for the old monk Nirvana.
Both of them are like this. Da Xing's words are 30% true and 70% false, and Master Nirvana's words are 30% true and 70% false. It makes people very depressed. It's neither true nor unbelievable. Let's just ignore it. But they
What he said makes sense.
Gu Qingfeng did not continue to ask, but calmed down and began to think.
He thought about the process of finding his true self. He didn't want to take the blame for others for the rest of his life, nor did he want to live for others for the rest of his life. This was his bottom line, which inspired the long-lost belief deep in his heart. Then his fighting spirit returned, and his body
Wake up and find yourself.
If you think about it carefully, it is not an accident that you are able to find your true self, it is more like an opportunity.
Just like those who have been reincarnated, they are able to awaken the memories of their previous lives, not based on how high their cultivation level is, how strong their fortune is, or how deep their understanding is, but because of an opportunity.
This opportunity can be a certain person or something that causes a change in mood, thus ushering in the so-called opportunity.
When the opportunity comes, you can awaken the memory of your past life. If the opportunity does not come, you may not be able to awaken it throughout your life.
Awakening of past lives requires a suitable opportunity, and finding what one needs is also an opportunity.
Is it possible that seeking the true self also requires an opportunity?
The opportunity to find your true self is the bottom line rebound, so what will be the opportunity to find your true self?
Gu Qingfeng really couldn't think of this question for a while.
before.
Gu Qingfeng felt that this problem might be a problem for others, but not for him.
When he thought about it, he didn't need to deliberately look for the so-called opportunity at all. As long as he waited for the original sin to be revealed, if he was really the incarnation of the cause and effect of the Eternal Nameless, then the Eternal Nameless would be his true self. Once the Eternal Nameless showed up, it would be almost the same
It's the so-called opportunity.
He did think so before.
But now after finding my true self and enlightening on many things, I realize that if I am really the incarnation of Eternal Nameless Cause and Effect, then it does not mean that Eternal Nameless is equal to my true self.
He knew that the past life, present life and the next life after reincarnation are a complete destiny. It can also be said that they share a complete destiny. Just because they share the same destiny, whether it is the past life, this life or the next life, it is the same among the three.
It is impossible to talk about who merged with whom, let alone who swallowed whom, because they originally belong to the same fate. As long as they wake up, the past life will be this life, and this life will be the next life.
actually.
The so-called self, true self, and true self are just like the past life and the next life, and they are a complete destiny.
It is precisely because of this that when Gu Qingfeng awakened his true self, he was completely unaware of it. If the old monk Ji Mie had not told him, he might not even know that he had awakened his true self.
Gu Qingfeng was sure that even if he awakened his true self, he would still be himself and would never be the eternal unknown.
Under normal circumstances, the deity and the incarnation are indistinguishable from each other, because the deity can completely dominate the incarnation, and the so-called incarnation does not have any self-awareness at all.
But once this incarnation gestates true consciousness, it will also have an independent destiny.
This is also the difference between ordinary incarnation and causal incarnation.
The ordinary incarnation and the deity share a destiny.
The destiny of the incarnation of cause and effect and the deity is completely independent.
Gu Qingfeng is not sure now whether he is the incarnation of eternal unknown cause and effect, but he is sure that as long as he awakens his true self, he will be able to know the truth.
Only by finding the true self can we perhaps have close contact with the so-called true self.
This is also the reason why he wants to awaken his true self as soon as possible. He doesn't want to wait for Eternal Wuming to come to his door and still be confused and not know the truth.
"Old monk, the deity of cause and effect and the incarnation of cause and effect have independent fates. I know that, but what is the relationship between them?"
The old monk did not respond in time. He was silent for a long time and then asked without answering: "Have the ancient laymen ever heard of the cause and effect of children and mothers?"
"Cause and effect?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. He had never heard of this thing before, and asked: "Are you saying that there is a kind of karma between the deity of karma and the incarnation of karma?"
"Exactly."
Gu Qingfeng was deep in thought. The so-called mother-child causation was not difficult to understand. After all, the incarnation was conceived by the deity. It was a child-mother relationship. Adding the word cause and effect, it was child-mother causation.
"Can the causal deity control the incarnation of causality?"
"The ancient lay people were overly concerned. Although the deity of cause and effect and the incarnation of cause and effect are related to each other, they are two independent fates after all. The deity of cause and effect will not and cannot control the incarnation of cause and effect."
"Since the deity of cause and effect cannot control the incarnation of cause and effect, why have I heard that in ancient times and today, no incarnation of cause and effect has been able to escape the fate of being swallowed by the deity of cause and effect."
"Do you know, ancient lay people, that in ancient times and today, there were also incarnations of karma that swallowed the true form of karma?"
"Perhaps, but there should be only one in tens of thousands. Most of the incarnations of cause and effect can hardly escape the fate of being swallowed up by the cause and effect deity." Gu Qingfeng said: "I want to know the reason. Since the cause and effect deity cannot dominate the cause and effect incarnation,
Why is it so difficult for the incarnation of cause and effect to escape the fate of being swallowed by the original cause and effect? There must be some unknown secret in this, right?"
"Amitabha is not as complicated as ancient laymen thought. In ancient times and today, it is difficult for the incarnation of cause and effect to escape the fate of being swallowed by the deity of cause and effect. It is just because the incarnation was conceived by the deity, so the deity knows the incarnation well, even if the incarnation has independent consciousness and independent destiny.
The character is still the same, but on the contrary, the incarnation knows nothing about me."
