"I've heard of this, but now I taste it carefully under the Bodhi tree, and it seems to have a different flavor." Yu Xiaolong looked up to the sky, feeling the scent of the Bodhi tree.
"Donor, please feel Bodhi with your heart." After saying this, the young monk leaned against the tree.
Yu Xiaolong reached out to touch it, but he stumbled and almost fell down.
The Bodhi tree, which I had touched several times just now, was now invisible and intangible, like a shadow.
"The Bodhi tree is not here, it is in our hearts. The four elements are empty and can be possessed, and the distracting thoughts in the heart cannot be found. "Tao Te Ching" says: Everything in the world is empty, the Tao, the sky, the earth, and the people are all empty. Void. "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters" says: Therefore, the Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and humans are also great. There are four great elements in the domain, and humans live in one of them. I, the Buddha, said: Earth, water, fire, and wind are the four Foundation. Void is not real, real is not virtual, the four elements are empty, the five emptinesses are pure, the six sense organs are pure, it is great emptiness." The young monk said slowly.
Yu Xiaolong tried hard to digest what he said, but he couldn't understand it immediately.
He closed his eyes, meditated slowly under the tree, and began to meditate.
"All living beings in the world are Buddhas." The young monk smiled and disappeared.
Yu Xiaolong meditated quietly under the bodhi tree, feeling countless leaves falling on his body, which was so real.
After the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, his first words were: "It's amazing that all sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they fail to achieve it because of delusional thinking and persistence."
In fact, we sentient beings and Buddha are equal and there is no difference. Humans are Buddhas without enlightenment, and Buddhas are enlightened people. Their essences are the same.
It's just that the delusions and attachments of sentient beings are too deep, which hinders the manifestation of their own wisdom, and they have not yet manifested their own nature and become a Buddha.
With great enlightenment, one should look down upon everything, be kind-hearted, be willing to help others, have no distracting thoughts, and have no fear of life or death.
Yu Xiaolong felt the feeling brought by the bodhi tree, but he still couldn't really understand it.
"Meridians Jue" clearly states: The deepest core of the meridians is the state of mind, and the core of the state of mind is the meridians.
The two are closely related and complementary to each other. If there is no one, there is no two, and if there are no two, there is no one.
Although Yu Xiaolong understood the truth, he could not understand it from his heart.
Sitting under the bodhi tree in meditation, he seemed to have forgotten many of his worries. There was nothing in his mind. He seemed to be asleep but not asleep, but not awake yet. Only the breeze blew gently through the leaves.
In such a sacred area, Yu Xiaolong boldly opened up all the veins. The true energy, carrying the fragrance of Bodhi, wandered through the veins at an unusually fast speed, like a swimming dragon running through Xiaolong's body.
Yu Xiaolong felt his body gradually heating up, and his eyes seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
He slowly adjusted his breath and inhaled as much of the Bodhi fragrance as possible.
Yu Xiaolong felt his veins trembling, as if he had never experienced pleasure before. It's as refreshing as suddenly inhaling pure air in a polluted environment.
In a holy land where only ten people are qualified to enter in a hundred years, under the legendary Bodhi tree, Yu Xiaolong naturally upgraded. It was so simple for the first time.
He stood up and tried to use his energy to swing the knife, but it had no effect. It seems that Daoxing cannot be used here.
Yu Xiaolong looked back at the tall bodhi tree, filled with emotion. This is the Buddha's tree of enlightenment, and this is the bodhi tree revered as a holy tree by Buddhism.
He looked around and saw endless grass and flowers. Everything seemed as pleasant as a paradise. What would it be like to spend your whole life in this? Are you far away from all the troubles in the world? Will we never see the separation between life and death again?
Yu Xiaolong shook his head minding his own business. He still had life and death friends outside, including Sun Renyi, Zhou Kai, Liu Mingqiang, Wang Tianxiang, Xie Tianyun, Ying Kongxiu, Wan Yanfeng, etc., as well as Wang Jiutian, and There were many others, and he couldn't spend eternity hiding here by himself.
"Donor, how are you doing here?" Abbot Shiyun's voice came from behind.
Yu Xiaolong almost peed with fright. When he looked back, Abbot Shi Yun was indeed standing there.
"Master, why did you come out suddenly?" Yu Xiaolong said with a bitter smile.
"Amitabha, it's a sin. Does the donor like this place?" Abbot Shiyun said slowly.
"This is really good. It is the place of Buddha. It is a rare holy place. Training is easier with half the effort, and upgrading is much easier. It is really...good. Unfortunately, I can't stay here. There are friends waiting for me outside, and my father is looking for me. , and...my responsibility." Yu Xiaolong shook his head and refused.
"There are no dangers, no benefits, no worries, no worldliness here, and there may even be eternal life, Amitabha." Abbot Shiyun said with his hands clasped together.
"No, I am enjoying my happiness here alone, what will other people do? My destiny is not that, how can I hide here? Haha." Yu Xiaolong shook his head resolutely.
"Since the benefactor has decided, I will say no more, Amitabha, that is so good." Abbot Shiyun nodded.
"Master, why did you let Liu Mingqiang go out to practice on his own? What if there is danger?" Yu Xiaolong asked doubtfully.
"His heart is different from yours. It is in an unstimulated state. When he is with you, he will always think too much about other issues. Dissociating himself and completely testing himself is a better training for him." Abbot Shi Yun said.
"Even if there is danger?" Yu Xiaolong asked puzzledly.
"There is nothing to fear about life and death, nothing to worry about. He is destined to die and no one can save him. Everything depends on God's will and on himself. I can't help him either." Abbot Shi Yun said.
"This...the truth is correct, but I always feel uneasy." Yu Xiaolong shook his head helplessly.
"When the poor monk saw him for the first time, he realized that he was extraordinary. Later I discovered that he had a Buddhist aura deep in his heart! Although it was in its budding state, it was still a Buddhist aura after all. So the poor monk accepted him. As a disciple, hope inspires his heart. It is true that his road is still too long, but hope is a hundred times better than despair, Amitabha." Abbot Shiyun said.
"I see, I understand." Yu Xiaolong nodded as if he understood.
"Donor, this poor monk gives you something." Abbot Shiyun took out a Buddhist bead from Cong's arms.
"Is this... a Buddhist bead?" Yu Xiaolong took it and inspected it carefully.
"Donor, this thing cannot be used without authorization. It can only be used in the most critical moments of life. Remember this!" Abbot Shi Yun said seriously.
"Uh... Okay, I remember." Yu Xiaolong carefully placed the beads.
"The poor monk has something else to give to the donor." Abbot Shiyun took out another thing from his arms.
Yu Xiaolong took it over and took a look at it doubtfully. It was a small jade pendant, with a dull dark green color. No matter how you looked at it, you didn't think it was something tall and noble.
"Is this jade?" Yu Xiaolong asked puzzledly.
"If a donor meets a Buddhist person like me when walking in the rivers and lakes, he can show this when he wants help in a crisis." Abbot Shiyun said with a smile.
"Uh...it's like a pass. It represents you, the eminent monk, right?" Yu Xiaolong suddenly realized.
"Remember not to abuse it!" Abbot Shiyun said.
"Remember, thank you, Master, for giving me these two things. I don't have anything to give to Master, haha." Yu Xiaolong chuckled.
"Donors only need to remember that with greater ability comes greater responsibility." Abbot Shi Yun said slowly.
"Yu Xiaolong remembers the master's teachings!" Yu Xiaolong said with his hands clasped together.
"Amitabha!" Abbot Shiyun disappeared.
"Hey? Where are we...how can I...get out!" Yu Xiaolong had a dark look on his face.
