Bodhi is the rise of the spiritual platform. Why should we look for purity outside?
But when the three impurities in the heart are gone, if you don't go to the pure land, you will still be in the Yaolin.
——Bodhi Temple
"What an ingenious method."
Watching Milo's performance, Sizheng Faming also understood the wonder of Milo's Demonic Examination. While praising him, he also said with some emotion: "Master Milo's skills in our Buddhist sect can be said to be the first in enlightenment."
"Senior, you are overly praised. This junior's method is still far behind the cultivation methods of Bodhi Temple."
Although Milo said he was humble, he was still somewhat complacent in his heart. After all, it took Milo a lot of effort to condense the method of the Ten Demon Test. Today, he not only obtained part of the Gui Xu information from Gui Beiming, but also suppressed a Tianyi realm monk. It can be said to be an achievement. Significantly.
Just like before, the Four Righteous Masters did not ask too much about why Milo was able to condense the phantom of the Guibei Ming Companion Treasure. At this moment, he also did not ask too much about the Ten Demons Test. He just asked softly why Milo came this time.
After learning that Milo was attending the Lingtai Haihui, the elder of Bodhi Temple immediately showed a happy expression.
"It turns out that the real person is here to attend the Dharma conference. This is really the best thing. Come with me."
With that said, Sizheng Faming took Milo and took a step toward the west, and the two of them immediately entered an illusory world.
This world is very special, almost like the fairyland in Milo's paintings.
The first thing you see is an endless ocean with no waves and no ripples. It exudes a sense of dead silence and emptiness, just like the gleaming sea of suffering in Buddhist legends, and also like the ocean of void derived from the overlapping of boundless emptiness.
The Sizheng Faming led Mi Luo forward. With every step he took, the world around him changed. After a moment, he saw dots of fire appearing on the sea. If he looked carefully, he saw that there were sparkling and translucent stars. Holy lotus.
The petals of these lotus flowers are of different colors, either green or white, gold or purple, and the number of flowers in bloom is also different. There are three grades of 27 petals, some seven grades of 63 petals, and the highest number is as high as nine grades of 81 petals. , there were red flames burning on these lotus flowers, and an illusory golden body appeared in the flames.
Milo looked at those red lotuses with a strange look on his face. In his eyes, the roots and stems of those red lotuses were wrapped around the huge monsters and evil things, just like the segments of lotus roots.
These demons and heretics exuding terrifying power were suppressed by Buddhist, Taoist and Sanskrit inscriptions one after another. They fell into a special state of neither life nor death, neither waking nor sleeping. During the subtle changes in their minds, some kindness and compassion were continuously extracted, flowing along the lotus. The rhizome rises upward and forms a golden body in the flames.
Speaking of which, the inheritance of Bodhi Temple among the nine immortal sects is very special. According to the classification of Buddhism and Taoism in Taixuanhuan, the essence of its practice is close to Zen, which emphasizes understanding the mind and nature, but the method of practice is closer to the self-cultivation of Hinayana. The performance has obvious traces of Mahayana Buddhism.
For example, this illusory world was born from the concentration of thoughts of generations of Buddhist monks in Bodhi Temple. It represents the order of Buddhism and can also be regarded as the pure land of mortals and the Buddhist kingdom on earth.
Finally, Bodhi Temple also has Vajrayana concepts in some magical powers and concepts of surrender, a typical example is the monster under the red lotus.
Most of these monsters were captured and brought back by Buddhists from the West Sea and even Guixu Sea; some were transformed from distracting thoughts in the Taixuhuang Realm and negative emotions at the moment when many living beings perished; and some were demonic monks who had been surrendered by Bodhi Temple for many years.
Being suppressed under the red lotus is, on the one hand, taking advantage of the characteristics of this place to cleanse their minds, guide some good thoughts from them, and transform them into Dharma protectors.
On the other hand, it is also to target the chaotic evil energy and magic methods. Of course, part of the reason is to use their power to build the sea of suffering under the pure land, so as to further purify the pure land built by Bodhi Temple.
Seeming to be aware of Milo's emotional change, Sizheng Faming explained: "Master, please don't pity the many monsters below. Most of them are monsters contaminated by the chaotic energy. Without our thousands of years of transformation, , it is impossible to develop some spiritual wisdom and turn into a Buddhist protector."
"Where are those Hanxia creatures?"
Milo stared at a red lotus. Although it was covered by the red lotus and could not perceive the essence of the monster below, the aura of the mirror held in the golden body on it was similar to that of the Demonic Heart Mirror in the previous hands of Chonglou. It was obviously from the same place. One source.
Milo asked again: "If I hand over the Chonglou to you, what will you do?"
"Although Chonglou is at fault, he will not fall into this sea of suffering. The most he can do is to be imprisoned in a temple, listening to the Dharma day and night, and slowly transforming the demonic energy and viciousness in his body."
As he said that, Sizheng Faming looked at the red lotus below and said: "Most of the monks who are suffering in the sea of suffering have given up their heinous crimes and are the kind who are handed over to the six sense organs for trial and can be punished with death hundreds of times. We will It is suppressed under the red lotus, burning its sins with the fire of karma day and night, extracting its spiritual essence, and transforming it into a protector. After that, it will continue to polish those evil karma roots that are difficult to transcend, and wait until the evil nature is weakened to a certain extent before sending it away. Enter the earth chakra to reincarnate. Finally, let the protector who has the same root and origin come to save you."
As he spoke, Sizheng Faming had already led Milo past the Red Lotus and arrived at the core of the Pure Land.
The shape of this pure land is almost like a basin. Except for the gentle land in the middle, the surrounding mountains are stacked on top of each other, making the pure land look like a blooming lotus from a distance.
And in the center of the lotus, there is another bodhi tree inlaid with gold, silver, glass, coral, amber, agate, pearls, agate, crystal, turquoise, diamond gold and other treasures. It is lush and lush, with thick roots. On the crystal clear leaves, illusory worlds like dreamy bubbles are reflected.
In these illusory worlds, there are many living beings living in them. Some of them have no connection with the Buddha's light and simply live in them; some are half-believers and provide little incense; and some of them have devout faith in the Buddha's teachings and bring endless aspiration. Surrounding the leaves, it turns into mist, flowing through gold, silver, glass, coral and many other treasures, making it bloom in thousands of colors.
Many rays of light intertwined and eventually turned into a round of sunlight, shining in the three realms and ten directions, washing away all dirt and purifying all turbidity, making the entire Pure Land fall into purity and tranquility.
Logically speaking, most people can only see the sun's rays, but not the leaves. Milo can only see the leaves and the sun's rays because of the accompanying treasure, and he is trying to figure out the meaning of the leaves on the bodhi tree. After the essence, he couldn't help but show a little surprise.
Sizheng Faming smiled and said: "It seems that the real person has seen the origin of this Bodhi leaf? Those are the dead souls that I have saved in the process of transforming the Taixu illusion in the past generations of Bodhi Temple. Most of them accumulated virtue and did good deeds during their lives, but due to the collapse of heaven and earth , without any blessings, after we rescued them, we temporarily placed them on the Bodhi tree and waited until their blessings were exhausted before sending them into the earth. Of course, if they are willing to leave early, we will not stop them. If you practice Buddhism, you can hope to be like me and become a true disciple in the temple."
"Monk is compassionate!" Milo praised sincerely. After all, apart from the devout Buddhist believers, more than half of the living creatures on the Bodhi tree have no aspiration, and are only a burden to the Bodhi Temple, not a benefit.
They can allow these creatures to enjoy blessings and consume their own savings, so they can naturally be called compassionate.
ps: Sorry for the lag, it's an hour late.
