Chapter 675: The origin of the corpse method of the upper part of the white lotus and black wind to Miaoxuan Zhenkong
Regarding the origin of this technique, John clearly remembered what the old man explained to him in his previous life.
It is said that this was when the imperial court wiped out the White Lotus Sect in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. One of the branches of Luo Taoism fled to the border between Mongolia and Liaodong, and formed the inheritance of their Black Wind Mountain, which was formed with local shamanism.
So their lineage has been a hodgepodge from the beginning.
Otherwise, John's previous life, Kumano would not have joined the "Taiyin Dharma Assembly", a folk practitioner gathering organization that specializes in the left-minded members. You should know that even in the Dharma-Ending Age of the previous life, no one could repair magical powers.
, there is still a chain of contempt in the Xuanmen practice world that has existed since ancient times, and those who are from the righteous still look down on them, such as the so-called "side-leaning people".
The so-called Luo Taoism is a folk religion, commonly known as Luo Taoism and Luo Zu Buddhism. The official name is actually "Wuwei Sect". It was created by Luo Qing, a native of Jimo, Shandong in the Ming Dynasty.
Luo Qing, whose name is Menghong and whose pseudonym is Sifu, is Wuwei. His life experience is very magical. Originally, he was just a poor military householder, lost his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of seven. He was raised by his uncle and aunt, and was absolutely in the Internet age.
The character of the protagonist was a perfect character. When he was young, he was recruited by the government to the Miyun Garrison Army in Northern Zhili. His life was difficult and poor. From then on, he developed a fanatical pursuit of religion on the border of barren mountains and ridges, hoping for the next life.
After Luo Qing retired from the army in the sixth year of Chenghua, he began to travel around the world. He once meditated in major temples and practiced Pure Land Sect and Zen Buddhism, but he felt that it was still insufficient, so he created his own teachings, combining Buddhist Pure Land Sect and Zen Linji Buddhism.
Taoist Laozhuang thought and Taoist Zheng Sect and Quanzhen Sect doctrine also absorbed the Confucian saying that filial piety and love for others, and established the "Wuwei Sect". The person went through the four dynasties of justice, Chenghua, Zhengde, and Jiajing, and later disciples called it
Luo Zu, also known as "Wuwei Ancestor".
The teachings of Luo Buddhism believe that people should be empty and quiet in order to return to their "birthless parents" who are "empty hometown" to enjoy the blessings of immortals. It is very consistent with the psychological needs of the people. So when Luo Buddhism was released, almost all the people were
Religion was influenced by all, including the famous japanese sects and many branches of the White Lotus sect. Later, the folk gangs formed gangs, such as the Qing Gang, and they were also regarded as their ancestors.
Therefore, it is not so much that the Luo Sect is a branch of the White Lotus Sect, but rather that the Luo Sect influenced almost all the Taoist sects after the Ming Dynasty.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many folk religions, including Jin Chan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Hunyuan, Yinxiang, Luodao and dozens of them,
Some of them have several names, which is to avoid the investigation of the government, while others have different sects of the same name. For example, the Luo Sect is called Wuwei Sect, but other regions have also developed a Wuwei Sect.
Moreover, they are not affiliated with each other, and their doctrines are quite different. The organization, ritual and activity methods are not the same. However, it may be because they all carry the mark of the White Lotus Sect, the most famous folk cult.
Therefore, starting from the Ming Dynasty, the court believed that these Taoist sects were actually variants and remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and the people also generally called them branches of the White Lotus Sect.
Among the many sects of the folk branch of the left and right Taoism, there are Maitreya, Jingkong, Yuandun, Longhua and other Buddhist concepts, as well as the Three Yangs, Smelling Incense, Wuwei and other Taoist concepts, as well as the integration of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and other Buddhist teachings.
The Luo Sect inheritance obtained by the Heifeng Mountain lineage was actually favored by the Taoist lineage, or to be precise, the Talisman School. However, it was said that during the Kangxi period, the Qing Dynasty was summoned by the Qing Dynasty and the senior ancestor of Heifeng Mountain. I had to follow the Qing army to conquer Gurkha, and luckily obtained a part of the Buddhist teachings of the Supreme Theravada from Nepal, and finally merged into this inheritance in John's hand.
Although this is a hodgepodge, if John had not had the knowledge of his previous life and had greater ambitions and looked down on the way to corpse and immortality, he would not have said that this corpse and corpse method was the most complete one he had mastered. The true method of immortality.
The inheritance of the upper corpse dissection of the White Lotus Black Wind to Miaoxuan Zhen Vajra is actually concentrated on the three words "Xuan Zhen", "Vajra" and "Corpsy".
Xuanzhen and Vajra are both adjectives about the state of practice.
Xuanzhen was originally the meaning of mysterious and profound. The Tao Te Ching says: "These two are of the same origin and have different names, and they are called Xuan." It also says: "The Tao is a thing... and its essence is true." Therefore, it is also called Miraculous. Tao, essence, and other meanings.
In addition, Xuanzhen also refers to beautiful jade. Ge Hong said in "Baopuzi·Xian Yao", "The Jade Sutra says: "Those who accept Xuanzhen have a great fate." Xuanzhen is an alias for jade. It makes people fly and take lightly."
As for Vajra, it is an adjective and practice state that originated in Buddhism or Hinduism. The word Vajra is actually translated in Middle Earth, and the original text is written as vájra.
In Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and treatises, Vajra refers to a method in the Dharma Realm that is strong and incapable of cutting off, but because there is no other method that can be replaced or destroyed, this method that cannot be destroyed and irreplaceable is Vajra.
The name Vajra first appeared in the original Indian religious scripture "Rigveda". It is the name of Indra's weapon, called Vajra, which is lightning. In Northern Europe, it became Miaoer, that is, Middle Earth. A magical artifact commonly known as "Meow Hammer".
According to legend, when Indra fought with Asura, he hit Asura's head violently, and the broken lightning became a diamond. It is said that Asura's corpse became a diamond, so diamonds are also called Vajra. Therefore, religious rituals in India are The magic weapon used in it, also known as Vajra, is translated as Vajra and Demon-Subduing Pestle in Chinese.
Among the guardian gods of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, because they often hold vajra, they symbolize the power of being able to destroy heretics and defeat evil demons. These guardian gods are called Vajra Gods, also known as Vajra Powers or Vajra Secret Vajra, and even Vajra Bodhisattvas. It is called Vajra abbreviated as Vajra.
The Heifengshan predecessors obtained these Theravada Buddhist traditions when they were shamans who went to Gurkha, that is, Nepal. Because Nepal is adjacent to the plateau, the upper part of the Theravada Buddhism and Tibet are here. Tantra influences each other. The part of the "White Lotus Black Wind to Miaoxuan True Vajra Upper Corpse Removal Method" in Heifeng Mountain is a Vajra practice method that is fusion between the two sides. After achieving it, it can achieve the indestructible Vajra. In the realm, you can obtain the undestructible Vajra Dharmakaya true fruit.
Speaking of which, in John's impression, many Vajra practices are not common in Middle-earth, because although they are also considered the inheritance of the Dharma protector gods in Buddhism, they are regarded as heretics in Mahayana Buddhism. Middle-earth in previous lives was Mahayana. The base of Buddhism.
However, it is the highest achievement pursued by many Hinayana Buddhism, some Theravada Buddhism, and Tantric practitioners.
The so-called heretic Buddhism refers to the inheritance of the gods after Buddhism merges and integrates other religions. For example, the three main gods of Hinduism are integrated into themselves by Buddhism and become gods similar to the Emperor of Heaven, and their status is still under the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Of course, these do not exist in Hinduism. India was no longer the era when Buddhist sects were mainstream as early as a thousand years ago, or Buddhism had never occupied the mainstream in its birthplace, otherwise it would not have been regarded as a heresy and was besieged and attacked.
The spread of Buddhism in the east is actually just a beautification statement that people expelled from India.
