Everyone returned to the meandering pavilion to wait, and then continued to discuss the matter of Master Shenxiu entering the realm of enlightenment. Zhao Ran took this opportunity to learn about the realm and levels of Buddhist practice.
According to the division of Buddhism, there are six major realms that need to be achieved in the path of practice. From shallower to deeper, they are the realm of eye consciousness, the realm of ear consciousness, the realm of nose consciousness, the realm of tongue consciousness, the realm of body consciousness, and the realm of consciousness. The realms are divided with Taoism by the urn.
Different, Buddhism believes that everyone has Buddha nature, but it is covered by "dust", so it cannot be revealed and cannot escape reincarnation. The purpose of practice is to reopen one's Buddha nature, just like "removing dust"
, clean the Buddha Nature Shrine to restore its original appearance.
So where is the spiritual platform? The spiritual platform is located at the six roots, which are commonly known as eyes, ears, nose, mind, body, and mind. This is the root of human beings, just like grass and trees have roots, and six consciousnesses arise from the six roots.
, to distinguish the six objects of color, fragrance, sound, taste, touch, and law. The six objects we usually see are contaminated with cause and effect, are false, or distort the original meaning. Only by seeing nature again can we see clearly.
Only by truly understanding the true meaning of the world can we see ourselves clearly.
9%
This is the true meaning of opening the six realms.
Each realm of Buddhism represents a large stage of practice, and there are different smaller realms in it. For example, in the realm of eye consciousness, you need to pass through the knowledge of name and color recognition, the wisdom of conditional acceptance and the wisdom of thinking. In terms of practicing magical powers, the first two
The position is similar to that of a Taoist priest, and the thinking and intelligence is similar to that of a Taoist priest.
However, great Buddhist monks like Shen Xiu have already opened up the world of body and consciousness, and what they need to achieve is the wisdom of equanimity, the wisdom of obedience and the wisdom of caste. It is similar to the realm of the Taoist Zhengyi Zhenren or the realm of the Quanzhen Heavenly Master.
Similar to Taoism, Buddhism also has titles corresponding to each realm, and enjoys different treatment in terms of cultivation status according to different titles. The realm of eye consciousness is called a monk, the realm of ear consciousness is called a novice, the realm of nose consciousness is called a monk, and the realm of tongue consciousness is called a monk.
Arhat is called Bodhisattva in the realm of body and consciousness, and Buddha in the realm of consciousness. Of course, this title is meaningless to believers, so believers usually refer to all Buddhist monks as monks, just like the people of the Ming Dynasty collectively call Taoist monks
"Taoist" is the same, this is the threshold between practice and non-cultivation.
Bringing the topic back, Shen Xiu claimed to have entered the realm of Bodhisattva. Such a monk was not something that the few people in the Meandering Pavilion could tolerate. So Dongfang Jing sent out a flying talisman and asked for help from the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
While waiting, Dongfang Jing asked again if anyone was quitting now.
The cultivation level of several people here is not close to the top. When it comes to fighting, they will definitely be able to play on the periphery. But even if they are playing on the side, the risk is extremely high. If you accidentally get involved in the core area of the fight, the outcome will definitely be quite terrible. However,
Bodhisattva, a real-person level fighting is also a rare opportunity. Just watching from the outside may be of great benefit to your own practice. If you accidentally help, the Taoist sect will definitely receive a major reward.
The risks and benefits involved need to be evaluated by individuals themselves, and Dongfang Jing does not force it.
As a result of the inquiry, none of these people were willing to quit. Even Zhao Ran was full of expectations and wanted to have a good time observing.
…
To the south of the city of Xingqing Prefecture in the Xia Kingdom, there is the Tianlong Courtyard and the Golden Needle Hall.
The deacon monk held a document in his hand and hurriedly walked around the Hall of Five Buddhas and the Hall of Reclining Buddhas. He passed through the hanging flower gate and entered the courtyard.
The central courtyard is where the elders of the Golden Needle Hall handle affairs, and the west wing is the study room of Master Long Huai, the elder of the West Hall. Tianlongyuan has never been a temple with its own inheritance. To be correct, it is a Buddhist temple that handles the affairs of various sects.
A joint agency. Most of the monks in the temple were drawn from various sects and temples in the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, they did not have the same sect relationship. Therefore, Long Huai, the elder of the West Hall of Golden Needle Hall, and Shen Xiu, the first elder of Jinzhen Hall, were not fellow apprentices.
Ever since he was transferred to the Golden Needle Hall of Tianlongyuan, Master Long Huai has been relatively slack in his affairs. The reason is for no other reason than his ambition. He has been stuck in the Arhat realm for fifteen years and has never made a breakthrough. Objectively, this is also the reason why he is bothered by trivial matters in the Golden Needle Hall.
.Today is Long Huai’s last day as a deacon at Golden Needle Hall. After tonight, he will return to Longtai Temple. He has sworn to the Buddha that he will never leave the temple again in his life unless he breaks the Bodhisattva state.
Xitang is in charge of the Xia Kingdom's foreign spying affairs. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, its old enemy, Tubo, Northern Yuan, or even the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, all Buddhist monks of the Xia Kingdom who are undercover to spy on others are listed in the Xitang.
There was a pile of documents ready to be handed over on Long Huai's desk. He picked up a pen and signed the documents one by one. After signing, he would sigh softly every time he closed the title page, as if he had counted all his past years.
It was like giving up. Long Huai suddenly realized that this was actually a kind of practice, a kind of cleansing of the mind. The instant awakening made him feel that his mind was enlightened. The practice that had made no progress in the past fifteen years was making waves again today, as if it was going to change.
As a reward for his success, he pushed his cultivation to the extreme of tongue consciousness.
The novice announced outside the door that urgent information had been delivered from Ming Dynasty.
Long Huai took the document, opened it and looked at it, only to see a flying talisman attached to the document. The flying talisman is a means of communication for Taoism, indicating that this information comes from the Ming Dynasty. If it is information from Buddhist countries such as Tubo or Beiyuan,
, then what is attached should be a flying curse.
The content in the flying talisman needs to be decrypted to reveal its true meaning. That is to say, ordinary people stick the flying talisman on their foreheads to "watch". The content may be a scene describing a spiritual eye and a spiritual spring somewhere, or it may be a piece of practice experience.
, if you don’t decrypt it, you can’t see the original intention.
The decryption method of the West Hall needs to be changed every year or so. This year, the elixir decryption method is used. Under the flying talisman is the decryption text of the content, which means: The Taoist Sect has known that the first one has entered the Ming Dynasty and is setting an ambush in Changning Valley.
Master Long Huai couldn't help but said: "The first one to enter the Ming Dynasty? Xingzhen, what kind of joke is this?"
The novice monk Xingzhen said with a bitter face: "Xitang, I don't know what happened, but this is information sent by Mingwu. Our deacons don't dare to suppress it, so we came to report to Xitang."
Mingwu is the fifth undercover agent sent to Ming Dynasty. His importance is self-evident. It is easy not to send news back to Jinzhen Hall. But once the news is sent back, it means that the matter is urgent and there must be no delay.
Long Huai asked doubtfully: "The first one will enter the Ming Dynasty in the near future? How come I don't know? When will it be?"
Xingzhen shook his head: "We in the deacon's office haven't heard of this, why don't you go and ask in the west hall?"
Long Huai looked at the decrypted text again, put the document aside, and said to Xingzhen: "Wait a moment."
Xingzhen was waiting aside. Master Long Huai took his time and finished processing all the documents on the desk. He breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in his heart. The fifteen years of hard work was finally rewarded today. It seems that not long after, he will be rewarded.
Then you can hope to enter the realm of Bodhisattva!
Master Long Huai looked at Xingzhen who was waiting on the side, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these years, and you will still have to work hard in the West Hall from now on. Xu Gu, who will take over, will change tomorrow. You must not be slacking off."
Xingzhen puts his hands together: "I wish the West Hall will realize Bodhisattva soon."
Long Huai was in a happy mood: "I can lend you some good words!"
Xingzhen pointed to the intelligence document on the table and said cautiously: "Xitang, this..."
Long Huai laughed and said, "Just wait a moment, I'll go and say goodbye to the chief, and I want to ask you a question by the way."
After leaving the door, he arrived outside the main room within a few steps. Long Huai asked at the door: "Is the chief there?"
"Is this Senior Brother Xitang? Please come in."
The first deep beauty came from Jingtan Temple in Yinzhou. He is only sixty-eight years old this year, twenty years younger than Xitang Longhuai, but he has already entered the realm of Bodhisattva for five years. Looking at Xia Kingdom, and even the entire Buddhist countries, it is rare.
He is a smart man with a deep connection with Buddhism! He entered the Golden Needle Hall of Tianlong Yuan three years ago and took up the first position. He became a top-notch figure in Xia Kingdom's Buddhist sect and was deeply loved by the elders of Tianlong Yuan. If not
If something unexpected happens, he will definitely have a place in the new generation of the Elder Hall in seven years. By then, he will be on the top of the Xia Kingdom Buddhism Gate and become the youngest sitting elder of the Tianlong Dean Elder Hall.
The fact that Shen Xiu entered the Golden Needle Hall deeply stimulated Long Huai. It can be said that Long Huai's decision to resign and return to the monastery had a lot to do with Shen Xiu. If it was a day ago, Long Huai would have had a crush on Shen Xiu.
If there is a layer of conflicting emotions, then starting from today, this resistance has been resolved invisibly.
Long Huai, who had a clear idea, sat down with a smile and looked at Shen Xiu who was making tea for him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If the young leader of the Bodhisattva Realm hadn't appeared in front of him, maybe he would never have been able to touch the edge of the Bodhisattva Realm!
