In the southeast center of the Fantasy Realm, there is a huge palace covering a radius of 1,600 feet. Except for the Dragon Palace where the Jiaolong clan was originally located, it is almost the largest building in the entire Fantasy Realm. The palace only has one floor, surrounded by
There is a dragon totem imprinted on it. More than thirty teleportation circles inside it are in operation all the time. There is almost no pause when countless sea creatures come and go, making it an extremely busy scene.
However, since half a month ago, the teleportation palace in front of me, which connects all directions of the sea, has been under martial law, and no sea people are allowed to take a step closer.
On this day, countless sea clans rushed from all directions in the Fantasy Realm and flew towards the main hall. Among the eight sea clans, except for the three sea clans of the dragon, crystal light demon, mixed sea and true ape, which had already moved to the outer sea, the clam girl thunder eel
The five major groups of tiger-beaked kite, red-blooded shark, dragon, elephant and turtle are all present.
The entire hall is supported by three hundred giant trees that reach the sky with nine people hugging each other. Golden dragons are coiled around it. It is extremely luxurious. It is surrounded by colorful jade stones for a full five thousand feet. There are all kinds of mountains, rivers, and seas, and it is lifelike.
Kong Laosan, who transformed into a violent ape, followed quietly behind the great elder. Zhu Shao Wenhuang stood on both sides, one on the left and one on the right. Beside the Taoist, Fan Miao'er, who transformed into the Clam Girl clan, looked around from time to time.
The big eyes are full of curiosity.
At this moment, Kong Laosan's eyes were slightly closed, and his mind kept recalling the scenes of the battle with Chiyun a few months ago: both sides tried their best, and no one spared a hand. In terms of strength alone, Chiyun was at the ninth level.
The peak level surpassed Kong Laosan by a head, but the Taoist possessed many sharp weapons and sharp methods, and his real combat power was much higher than that of Chiyun.
The two sides seemed to be angry, and seemed to use this fight to vent the anger in their hearts. Shocking waves were set off on the thousands of miles of sea, and the fight lasted for seven days and seven nights, until both sides were exhausted and could no longer stop.
Chiyun left, and did not return to the South China Sea. Instead, he chased beyond the vast ocean and in the direction of the migration of the Jiaolong clan. Before leaving, he said, "There will be another fight in the future."
Kong Laosan said nothing about Chiyun's choice. After all, everyone is responsible for their own lives.
Recalling the scenes from the beginning, the Taoist felt no regrets or resentment in his heart. Instead, he felt a faint sense of pity for each other. The other party had already left the ocean, and he was afraid that there would be no chance of meeting him again in the future. In this case
, let him let the wind go with these things.
Thinking of this, the Taoist seemed to feel relieved, and looked around, with a flash of surprise on his face. The five sea tribes and countless affiliated tribes all gathered here. An old man was stooped and carried a bag on his back.
The old man in black crystal black armor stood in the void. Kong Laosan also had some impressions of this old man. Zu Hao, it was the Melting Pill Demon Ancestor of the Dragon, Elephant and Turtle clan who presided over the Huanchen Realm auction.
About two hours later, when he saw that everyone had arrived, Zu Hao nodded slowly and looked at
There was a hint of turbidity in the words, "Haha, the pagoda that happens once in a thousand years is about to open. You are all descendants of the eight major ethnic groups. Everyone knows the rules, so I won't say more. Now, let's go!"
There was a wise man in the ancient Indian country. After seeing all kinds of "sufferings" everywhere in life, he began to look for a way to escape these pains in life. After many years of hard practice, he finally discovered the true meaning of "the dependent origin of emptiness."
, escaped from the many sufferings in the world, and achieved complete liberation. From this, he became an "enlightened" person, that is, he became a Buddha.
"The three realms are based on mind and all dharmas are based on consciousness", and the so-called "nature and emptiness are dependent on origin" means that the heaven, earth and universe are all "created by mind alone". This mind is the original mind that is not mixed with any attachments and delusions.
The seven emotions and six desires are the innate instincts of living beings. With the seven emotions and six desires, living beings will also have likes and dislikes. With likes and dislikes, there will also be various attachments and desires. Think with this kind of heart that contains attachments and desires.
Any problem will deviate from the track of the original mind, and it will be impossible to reach the realm of "created by the mind alone", and there will be no such thing as "nature and emptiness".
A stone has no emotions or desires. If a stone has a heart and can think, then it is an "enlightened" person, that is, a Buddha.
Empty nature means the original mind without any obsessions. Dependent origination is the origin of all things in the world. Without all kinds of obsessions and desires, everything can directly point to the original mind, so that only one thought can originate and perish.
Of course, if we ask about the cause and effect of emptiness and condition, we can only say that yin and yang are one, causing each other, and there is no effect without cause.
The original mind originates from emptiness, emptiness is existence, emptiness is form, emptiness is Tao. Emptiness, existence, emptiness, form, emptiness, and Tao are all attachments. Understand that existence is emptiness, form is emptiness, Tao is emptiness, and finally realize emptiness and forget emptiness, that is
The true meaning of emptiness.
According to Taoism, Tao generates one, and then opens the sky with one stroke, and derives all things. The "one" here is the original mind. Only by clearly understanding the original mind can we have the theory of "nature, emptiness, and dependent origination." Essentially speaking, Buddha and Tao
They all lead to the same destination through different paths. Similarly, Confucianism also has a saying that "all things are prepared for me."
View life as my own life, view the world as one person.
You are me, and so is he; the obsessive demon is me, and the enlightened Buddha is also me; all sentient beings are me, and all heartless things are also me!
Only by truly achieving this step can we understand what "Heaven's heart is my heart, and my will is God's will."
Therefore, the Buddha said: "How wonderful! How wonderful! All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot realize it because of their attachment to delusional thoughts!"
The essence of Buddhist practice is to cut off attachments and delusions, eliminate all kinds of desires in the heart, use great thoughts, great wisdom and great perseverance to break through the seven emotions and six desires that are born with it, cultivate a stone with a "heart", and become a Buddha.
.
What is Buddha? What is Buddha?
Buddhas are sentient beings, and sentient beings are unenlightened Buddhas.
The seven emotions and six desires, to some extent, can also be said to hinder the public’s
The demon who became a Buddha can be said to be an inner demon or a heavenly demon.
One thought can make you a Buddha and another thought can make you a demon. In essence, the Buddha is the devil and the devil is the Buddha. There is no difference. They all want to change people's hearts. The difference lies in the means.
Buddhist practice is mainly based on cultivating the mind. It neither breathes out the spiritual power of heaven and earth like the practitioners, nor does it become a saint like the warriors. It is somewhat similar to the rumored demons.
However, since the ancient barbaric period, when Buddhism and Taoism fought and Buddhism lost, its inheritance has been completely cut off in the land of China, all the methods of practice have been lost, and even the realm of strength is not clear. Except for some occasional records in some ancient books.
Except for mentioning it, most living beings have never heard of it.
At the junction of the Endless Sea and the South China Sea, there is a vast and endless black sea spanning eight million miles, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding blue sea.
However, in the mouths of the nearby sea creatures, this sea area is not called the "Black Sea", but the "Nie Sea". The reason for this is only because of the Buddhist ruins covering the sea valley deep under the sea.
The eight million miles of sea are filled with fractured Buddhist relics, half-buried pavilions and temples, Buddha statues, monuments, caves and nests, murals of gods, etc., covered with green algae. At a glance, it looks like a Buddha buried in the ashes of time.
The country gives people a sense of wonder and despair.
But the most amazing thing is the ancient pagoda that collapsed on the seabed and extended to an unknown place in the center of the ruins. The pagoda in front of you is so huge that it seems to come from the same world as the giant sea turtle.
, giving people a mind-shaking feeling.
The Nine-Story Pagoda of Wisdom is said to be a tower of enlightenment used to cultivate the descendants of the bloodline of twenty gods in the Trayastry Heaven on the top of Mount Sumeru. It contains countless dangerous and chance wisdom. When Mount Sumeru was destroyed, this pagoda fell from the nine heavens.
, and was finally pushed here by the endless power of the vast ocean.
Even the Tower of Enlightenment is already a great opportunity for the living beings on the land of China today. Of course, the force of sea water erosion for hundreds of millions of years, coupled with the fact that it was already broken when it fell from Jiutian, now this tower
The Pagoda of Wisdom seems to be on the verge of collapse. If the Eight Sea Clan had not devoted all their efforts to repair and strengthen it 30,000 years ago, it is hard to say whether it could have survived until now.
Perhaps it is because of the instability of the pagoda that the entire sea area is like a broken space. Occasionally, some huge sea whirlpools are born out of thin air. These whirlpools are extremely powerful, cover an extremely wide area, and last for an extremely short time. They are like choosing people.
Once the swallowing black hole falls into it, even the Melting Pill Demon Ancestor will be crushed into slag by the endless power of sea water in an instant. Therefore, this "evil sea" is also called the "devouring sea".
Now, on the surface of the "Nie Sea", which is known as the "Forbidden Zone for Life", countless sea tribes who control all kinds of light escapes are swarming in. In just a few days, the entire sea area has been covered.
