It is said in Buddhist scriptures that when a Bodhisattva enters the womb and Buddhas appear, when an enlightened one enters nirvana or enters meditation, or when a saint sacrifices himself to bear the karma of all sentient beings, or when he preaches the Dharma, you will feel like flowers falling from the sky, which shows how extraordinary it is.
For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Master Yunguang of Fayun Temple held a Dharma banquet and preached the Lotus Sutra. In the temple, all kinds of fragrant flowers fell like rain from the sky. Piaoran, come and admire the harmony and unimpededness of Buddhism and its superb conduct.
As the leading heroic figure in Tibet, when the Dharma King Miaobao sat cross-legged and recited sutras, Jizushanyin also appeared strange.
It's just that there is no rain of bright flowers falling here, only a terrifying roar like a mountain collapsing and the earth is cracking. As the sutra chants are sounded, a brief but continuous earthquake is suddenly caused in the entire Jizu Mountain Yin. The hustle and bustle was as if a giant giant had woken up deep in the ground, making noisy noises, shaking rocks, uprooting ancient trees, setting off waves after waves deep in the earth, disrupting the vitality of this ancient wasteland.
For Jiang Wen, even if he stopped on Mount Tao or in the raging sea, there would be no difficulties at all. But for some unknown reason, he began to sway from side to side during the earthquake and found it difficult to stay steady.
He soon discovered that it was not only the land in the valley that was truly shocked, but also the hearts of people. At this moment, several people in the valley, no matter how far or near, were struck by a strange and inexplicable emotion, just like the Nanzhao statue in the corpse cave. The giant bell of King Long suddenly appeared in the world and was rumbling in their ears. However, the complicated sound that should have caused headaches and headaches now exuded a sense of clarity in the ears and eyes, as if the whole body was preparing to welcome the world before it was freed from all kinds of pain in the sea of life. The last struggle of liberation.
Jiang Wen stared at the side and realized that there was something abnormal about the five senses. The so-called shaking of the earth and the sound of bells should be just an objective perception other than non-thinking and non-non-thinking. But the Dharma King Miaobao could not know it. The realization that he has achieved this step is enough to shock people at the profoundness of Taoism. It is difficult to guess to what level he has deduced the six laws of Naruo.
This kind of shock is so strong that for the ghosts entrenched in Jizu Mountain, it is an irresistible force from the sky, pressing down on them like Mount Tai reaching the top. I saw the ferocious dry muntjacs being suppressed to the ground one after another in a posture of prostrating themselves to the ground. Even the crowns of the towering ancient trees around them gradually became lower and shorter due to the inexplicable suppression, as if they were also affected by their postures. The confused Dharma King Miaobao was suppressed and retreated.
In the dense forest, a fierce and shrill howl suddenly sounded. The sound was crueler than a lone wolf, more cunning than a tiger, and more melancholy than an eagle. In the sound full of animality, it showed a brokenness that only humans can possess. speech.
Then, in the looming mountain forest, a strong and cruel figure emerged, rushing around, causing commotion in the dense forest. The sound was painful, but it still refused to give in.
Living in the "syncytial slime mold" of Jizu Sanin, ordinary people should not be able to extricate themselves or understand it. Only the accumulated power of countless "cell nuclei" can change the color of the situation and create ghosts overnight. It was rampant, but it happened that after the sudden enlightenment, the Dharma King Miao Bao actually dominated the scene and showed the ability to shake the world.
I saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and chanting sutras. Every ancient and unfamiliar proverb in his mouth seemed to contain the great power bred from unbreakable seeds, and he wanted to show the world his supreme divine power that was even more indestructible than diamond.
In heaven and on earth, I am the only one. If we want to describe the scene in front of us, we can only say that the only protagonist in this world at this time is King Miao Bao!
But it seems that his doing so is not without cost. I saw the Dharma King Miaobao closing his eyes tightly, and his whole face was ferociously deformed due to his hard work, so that his eyes gradually bulged out and his cheeks slowly sunken. Just looking at it makes one's scalp tingle.
But from the slits of his eyelids that he couldn't completely close despite all his efforts, Jiang Wen saw bits of sharp white hair leaking out, like clear strands of hair hanging naturally in front of him, and like flames swinging left and right. , exuding a spirit of agility and mystery.
The same divine light was not unfamiliar to Jiang Wen, because not long ago, he had witnessed it in the organ that lingered in the void next to Luo Shuang'er, and he didn't know whether it could be called an "eye". At this time, the same fire really existed in the eyes of the Dharma King Miaobao. It seemed that he could use it truly and truly without going through any channels, bridges, communication or pretense.
Jiang Wen couldn't help but think, if the divine light is a symbol of the incarnation of a "god", does that mean that Dharma King Miaobao has also crossed that threshold and reached a mysterious and mysterious realm? And was the manifestation of this ultimate epiphany also due to some kind of destiny, first appearing in his eyes that already had heavenly vision?
This transformation from human to god, from monk to Buddha seems to be still in progress. All the strange ghosts and monsters in the scene are either worshiping or running away. Only Luo Shuang'er, dressed in white, quietly disappears and is standing there with a strange look on her eyes. , neither driving nor avoiding, with a normal expression. If you don't observe carefully, you will seem to ignore her as an ordinary grass and trees on the ground.
Luo Shuang'er still carries an otherworldly temperament. The pale and withered mist in the clouds seems to be the tragic despair that has been entangled in Jizu Mountain for hundreds of years. At this time, it is wearing a dark cloud around her body, and then transformed into Make a floor-length robe that makes people look unreal and seem to be nothing. The clothes are elegant and cool, like a fairy.
If she had already transformed into this Fangjizushanyin at this time, then there would be no reason to waver.
Because the cold wind here has been blowing for too long, and the ghosts are crying for too long. Jizushanyin did not feel mercy and salvation thousands of years ago, and it will not bother to worship and pay homage thousands of years later. , she has long been accustomed to watching the monks with cold eyes, witnessing the unbreakable process from fanatical worship to desperate creation, firmly believing that all this was of no help in the past, and will not be of any help in the future.
Such a cold feeling is like a thorn in the back, as if quietly witnessing the evolution from life to death, and the emotion of hurting others is getting stronger. And in this funeral where no one is crying, only the deceased himself can't feel anything. Sad.
Jiang Wen knew that if they didn't think of a solution, the "Luo Shuang'er" who now existed in front of them would no longer feel any doubts and confusion. Luo Shuang'er, who was involved in the dark area of Jizu Mountain, would soon become no different from the mountains, rocks and ancient trees. The presence.
The next moment, "Luo Shuang'er", or some kind of will projected on this body, suddenly lingered and flickered for a moment, as if aware of the unusual behavior of Dharma King Miaobao, and could not help but slow down the process of transformation. He wondered why the frail body of Dharma King Miaobao did not drown in the long river of time, but instead appeared vaguely reborn.
Everyone was waiting for Dharma King Miaobao to take action, and he did.
Only a gleam of divine light was still visible, and Dharma King Miaobao tried to get up from the ground in a shaky and unstable posture. His extremely weird appearance was hideous due to pain. His hands shot up unconsciously, and there was another violent earthquake on the ground, but his hands were shaking unsteadily, like a dying old man on the hospital bed, trying to grasp the last ray of life with his withered hands.
Correspondingly, the light in Luo Shuang'er's eyes was dimly extinguished, leaving only a strange and emotionless look. He became interested in the unexpected behavior of King Miaobao, which led to him being blocked in a remote place. His soul gradually loosened.
Dharma King Miaobao stood up.
He seemed to still be unable to control the power in his body. Not only his figure was shaking unsteadily, but also the lines and shapes around him, which seemed to be uncontrollably distorted and deformed under the influence of an extremely strong gravitational force. .
Dharma King Miaobao walked forward.
His hands were swinging unevenly, and his bare upper body was like a Vajra Protector. With every step, he could shrink into an inch and walk the same distance. Almost in the blink of an eye, he came to Luo Shuang'er, raised his palm and drew a mysterious trajectory.
From a martial arts point of view, this action is too weak and too redundant. There are obviously countless key acupuncture points all over the body that can defeat the enemy, but the palms of King Miaobao insist on facing the key points on the head and face that are the easiest and most vigilant to defend against the opponent, pointing straight towards Baidu. Go to the acupuncture point.
But Jiang Wen still has great confidence in His Majesty Miaobao. After all, a person like him who can cause earth-shaking phenomena will never do such complicated movements for no reason and perform such useless feats. It happens that his eyes are useless. God's Luo Shuang'er actually stood on the ground, turning a blind eye to everything.
The scene at this time was extremely weird. Both sides of the confrontation obviously had unpredictable methods, but at this time, it was funny and scary - Luo Shuang'er was dumbfounded, and Dharma King Miaobao had the same hand and foot, and could not see the divinity that he should have had at all. Their appearance only makes people feel weird, weird, twisted, and scary, as if they are being controlled by an invisible giant hand behind them, making all kinds of involuntary actions, frightening others. An act of wanting to get closer.
It stands to reason that if there are no accidents, then Dharma King Miaobao will be able to touch Luo Shuang'er's Baihui point soon, but accidents will occur as a matter of course.
Jiang Wen saw that before the palm of His Majesty Miaobao touched Luo Shuang'er's clothes, his crooked figure was frozen by a strange force. Luo Shuang'er looked in front of him with a frightening smile. His slender hands were obviously slow enough to be clearly discernible, but his moves were still... It seemed to be as fast as lightning. With just one slap, the Miaobao Dharma King, who had his eyes closed, was sent flying into the air. He rolled several times before falling to the ground.
The invincible Dharma King Miaobao has fallen!
"……That's it?"
Jiang Wen couldn't recover from the accident before him. He couldn't accept that the imaginary battle that should have ended with a big fight ended with a complete victory for Luo Shuang'er's side. Such an ending. The method is somewhat of the essence of O. Henry.
"The power of opening the terma is so great!"
Master Anren and Pinzhao had left the Thousand Buddhas Cave where they were hiding at some point. They crossed over countless terrifying dry muntjacs who had bowed to the ground, and came to behind Jiang Wen and sighed. Jiang Wen was not doubtful about the choice of these two people. , after all, staying in a cave when an earthquake occurs is not a wise move, he just said in a coquettish way.
"Master Anren, you'd better stop bragging. This is so embarrassing..."
But Master Anren's old face did not show any trace of shame, and he still said firmly, "Amitabha, Black Hat Dharma King clearly wants to transform the female benefactor - this is the indescribable power of the treasure."
Then he grabbed Jiang Wen's hand and motioned for the two of them to help the King of Miaobao up together.
Jiang Wen originally wanted to step forward and help Dharma King Miaobao up, so he did not break away. However, when his palms just touched Dharma King Miaobao's exposed shoulders, what he saw in his eyes was not the usual waterfall. Data, and saw a completely humanless, irrational and terrifying god in the dark sky, controlling the chess pieces on the chessboard with an expressionless face!
From this perspective, he discovered that the strange behavior of King Miaobao and Luo Shuang'er was just because they were taken over by a direct and specific "power", and then they confronted each other with no regard for human life. And the rest of them, who are busy and floating in the troubled world, are not free and uncontrollable. They are just mediocre and mediocre in their own way, and then they are controlled by the collision and disturbance of the threads, and are controlled by the Amazon's butterfly wings. Influence, in the infinite cycle of cause and effect, ignorantly and unconsciously mixed into one tragedy after another...
Jiang Wen soon broke into a cold sweat again, because before he had time to withdraw his hand, hallucinations began to appear in his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that everything around him was entangled with silk threads, and even his body was covered with dense threads. of fine threads.
Really? Fantasy? What exactly is an illusion? Does getting rid of illusion mean seeing reality?
Master Anren held Jiang Wen's hand with great spiritual practice and told him in a trembling voice that this might be the true face of the world. Mortal human eyes only show the path of ripe fruits, and at most they can only see things within the ripe range. As early as when we became human beings, our eye roots were connected to the ripeness of the twelve dependent origins, so the eyes convey The signals are just these superficial things.
The truly flawless clairvoyance is the vision that reaches the state of righteous meditation through meditation and meditation. Only when the celestial eye of the form realm is acquired can the celestial eye shine for a long time without hindrance, and the candle can break the truth and be true.
Jiang Wen suddenly realized that this might be what Dharma King Miaobao saw with his celestial vision. At this time, he felt it through his body due to the contact. These tough and slender threads in front of you, intertwined and meandering from all directions and four poles, like billions of spider threads, are the entangled karma that is inevitable and irresistible in this world!
There are not many silk threads on Pinzhao's body, but there is a very obvious one wrapped around his neck, with a terrifying color as red as blood. As it keeps beating and bouncing, it seems that the owner of the spider web has followed the prey's struggle to this place. The humans rushed over; Master Anren also had a few tightly tied silk threads on his body, but because he was standing behind him and could not notice them clearly, they all led to the direction of Sidan Temple in the distance.
Then Jiang Wen looked at himself again. He originally thought that as an unexpected visitor who did not belong to this world, the threads of his past karma pulled around him would be particularly sparse.
But he was surprised to find that he had been entangled into a giant cocoon by countless dense silk threads. These karmic threads are winding and winding, as difficult to identify as insect-book-bird seals, and as hideous and terrifying as the bones of ancient tombs. The source of these threads is vague and the destination is unknown. They all carry an aura of dust and evil that cannot be recorded in the ancient scrolls of Qing Dynasty. It is like an ancient scroll filled with silent and dead silverfish. But as long as someone dares to open it and look at it, these threads will be revealed. The rotten old existence will move in the wind, climb up like a snake, and turn into a giant python that spreads fear back to the world!
The more twists and turns and bizarre things get, the more he needs to calm down. Jiang Wen knows that the thread of karma is just the tip of the iceberg. If the Buddhist scriptures are all followed, what the clairvoyance can see is far more than that.
If you practice deeply and study deeply, you will have to suffer consequences that ordinary people cannot imagine. However, Jiang Wen did not expect that behind the Buddhist principles, there would be such a subversive, bizarre, terrifying and cruel truth hidden behind it.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Zen Master Zhigong, a great Buddhist monk, passed by a house where a happy event was being held. The guests in the house thought he would congratulate him, but as soon as the Zen Master stepped into the door, he sighed in a Buddhist verse: "Weird, weird, weird. Six ways. Reincarnation is painful, the grandson marries the grandmother. The pigs and sheep sit on the bed, and the six relatives cook in the pot. The woman eats the mother's flesh, and the son beats the father's skin drum. Everyone comes to congratulate me, I think it is really miserable!", and then drifted away in confusion. go.
Zen Master Zhi Gong, who has cultivated the knowledge of destiny, saw that the groom is his grandson and the bride is his grandmother, because the grandmother liked her grandson very much, and she was reluctant to let go of her grandson when she died. Due to the pull of karma and karma, she was reincarnated in the world of the sun. Be a girl and marry him. It's just that she changed her appearance, and no one knows.
The kang was full of eaten pigs, cattle and sheep, which transformed into humans and became relatives of each other. The meat cooked in the pot turned out to be animals reincarnated after the death of the six relatives. Zen Master Zhi Gong saw a little girl gnawing on pig's trotters. She didn't know that it was her mother who was reincarnated as a pig and was slaughtered and made into delicacies in this life. There is a young man in the yard who is playing a drum early in the morning. This donkey skin drum is his father who was reincarnated as a donkey and was killed and skinned to make a drum.
From this Buddhist perspective, all ordinary things are the product of distortion and deformation. In the upside-down Saha world, ordinary people take suffering as pleasure, bad as good, and have raging worries. If they don’t know how to leave, they will feel like eating sweet wine. Only An awakened person who transcends everything will be frightened by the things that are commonplace in daily life and the endless horror that quietly unfolds behind his back - Jiang Wen can't imagine how much cultivation the Dharma King Miaobao needs to be able to remain gentle and gentle under the influence of clairvoyance. Jade.
From such a perspective, even Jiang Wen could only manage to steady his body with great perseverance, and slowly opened his eyes again amid a burst of dizziness. No wonder the Dharma King Miaobao looked extremely painful when he opened his clairvoyance.
Opening his eyes again, he found that the only two people in front of him were not entangled at this time. A monk and a woman threw away their weird and twisted appearance and quietly exuded some kind of mysterious aura. As motionless as the earth, the confrontation seemed to have reached its end. Under such a terrifying appearance, Jiang Wen was full of confidence in the magical power displayed by Dharma King Miaobao, and was looking forward to what kind of scene the collision would produce.
The silent battle has begun again in a dimension invisible to Jiang Wen and his party.
The Dharma King Miaobao stood up again. His posture and movements were completely normal. Every move he made was like an elegant scholar strolling in the forest. His eyes just opened and closed, and the white light was completely extinguished, and he looked at him with clarity and concentration. Luo Shuang'er.
But Luo Shuang'er's movements are even stiffer, like a puppet playing the role of a dancing fairy in heaven. There is always a weird feeling in her graceful and moving appearance. When Shenhua is restrained to the extreme, it collapses. When it collapses to the extreme, it is complete darkness. What is in the darkness is The reason for everything to exist.
And the "eye" that existed in the void no longer emitted the terrifying divine light, and began to wipe away traces of life in a silent and silent way, eliminating little by little the pulse, heartbeat and even the traces of Luo Shuang'er's body's pulse and heartbeat, and even the hair in the strong wind. The fluttering seemed to turn her into a complete "dead thing".
The gods in the sky were about to show their vast power again, but in the pupils of Miao Bao Dharma King Gujing Wubo, a huge god with a ferocious appearance had quietly appeared. Black clothes covered the sky and the sun, carrying a deafening sound in the void. The sound of drums and drums rolls from the ground.
This black-clothed god only has one face and two arms like a normal person. He is short and burly in stature. His body shows the green and black skin of a person who has been dead for a long time. His three blood-red eyes are wide open, and his four fangs are exposed, making him look intimidating.
With the sound of the drum, His red hair rises like a snake, the five-skull crown on his head has long teeth and grinds teeth, the vajra with a snake as the top ornament hisses, and the right hand holds the ax in the air, swiping it casually It was as if a blood vessel in the world was cut open, and blood-colored fluid spurted out. He then casually caught it with his left hand holding the blood-filled skull, and drank it all in one gulp with a toothy grin.
In the eyes of Dharma King Miaobao, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood have spread to the ends of the earth, but the black-robed Vajra glares at each other angrily, his feet bent to the right and left stretched out to step on the backs of countless human corpses, with a fearful and ferocious expression, standing motionless in Liao In the sea of flames blazing from heaven to earth, every move of his body reflects the terrifying guardian spirit of fighting, killing, and subduing heretics!
And the divine light in Luo Shuang'er's eyes began to fade instantly, just like the sudden death after the fireworks exploded. The smoke and dust in the sky fell into the background of the increasingly deep sky. What emerged afterward was whether it was the Twelve Gods, the God of Fang Xiang or the God of Fang Xiang. The shadow of the knight in white became lighter and lighter in front of the black-robed King Kong, until it faded into a shadow that was not suitable for this world...
…………
Luo Shuang'er has fallen into a deep sleep at this time. The fierce and powerful voice she showed earlier is like a distant and bizarre dream. At this time, she is just like an ordinary child lying in bed drunk, while Dharma King Miaobao is like an old father who protects his daughter as she sleeps. He gently caressed the Baihui point on the top of her head, then sat cross-legged not far away and recited scriptures that no one could understand.
His empty right hand seemed to be turning an invisible prayer wheel to the right, and he kept reciting some strange and strange scriptures in ancient Sanskrit that had been lost to extinction, prompting Luo Shuang'er to fall into this deep and long dream that was like fetal sleep. middle.
"The Black Hat Dharma King's extraordinary merits were enough to save thousands of mobs before, but now he uses them all regardless of the cost, just to subdue the ghosts and gods brought down by the female benefactor. He is truly a man of great mercy, courage, majesty and virtue!"
Master Anren watched every move of Dharma King Miaobao closely, and he expressed sincere admiration, but his face was uncertain for some reason.
Jiang Wen probably understood what Master Anren meant by his praise.
The so-called great compassion and great courage are the great perseverance born from great compassion. The Dharma King Miaobao made a compassionate vow, kept his promise, risked his life and finally rescued Luo Shuang'er; and the great power and great virtue means practicing great virtues with great divine power. , Don’t worry about the gains and losses of your life, and you can finally save the sea of suffering from going astray.
"Donor Jiang, I'm afraid the Black Hat Dharma King has paid more than you imagined. If the old monk's prediction is correct, now the Dharma King has realized the dream realization method in "Naropa's Six Attainments" through the treasures. Use the power of dream yoga to subdue the ghosts and gods caused by the female donor!"
Dream Yoga is higher than Kundalini Yoga, Light Yoga, and Illusion Body Yoga. It belongs to the great method of the completion stage of the path to liberation. The reason why "dream" has such a respected status is because the existence of all living beings in life after life is just that. One big dream after another.
Dream yoga starts from ordinary sleep dreams, and then begins to recall the dreams of life and death every time you are reincarnated in the six realms, that is, the "big dreams of life and death" in previous lives - the Dharma King Miaobao suddenly enlightened and turned the dream into nothing, skipping the ordinary The steps of sleeping, and because of this, he was able to suddenly recite Sanskrit mantras that had been extinct in the world for a long time, and his appearance almost changed into another person.
At this time, the Dharma King Miaobao may no longer be him. From the moment he touched the sutras, he had become a person from his past life who did not know how long ago, standing helplessly in a place he had never seen before. Thousands of years have passed behind the scenes.
And in the end, the object of dream yoga becomes the "big dream of ignorance" that no longer wrongly clings to a real "I" and "others" outside of me - this wrong and delusional self. Attachment pervades everywhere and at all times, causing discrimination, troubles, and negative karma, which will continue to cover up the ignorance that has existed since time immemorial.
And if the practitioner can finally awaken from the deepest and longest dream of ego, the practitioner can break ego and realize that "people have no self". Then, through meditation, they can realize that "the law has no self". At this time, they can Directly pointing to the "wisdom of awakening and emptiness", and finally achieving freedom from life and death and achieving Buddhahood, it is a true and true path to liberation!
"Master Anren, it seems that I didn't tell you about the terma before. How could you explain it in one word?"
Jiang Wen, who had survived the disaster, asked curiously.
"Donor, the old monk is just old and comatose, and he is not deaf or blind. When Dharma King Miaobao asked to borrow the Avatamsaka Sutra, the old monk had some suspicions in his mind, so he came with you. Say something to stop it.”
Master Anren glanced at Jiang Wen angrily, "Although there are boundless Buddhist dharma and thousands of avenues in this world, there is a method that can make a person reborn in the blink of an eye. Forgive the old monk for being stupid, I only know the secret of Qi Fu Zang." It’s just one door.”
The so-called terma has actually been circulated in the outside world for a long time. For example, the Tibetan epic "The Biography of King Gesar" with a total of more than one million lines of verses was passed down by "divinely appointed rappers" and was passed down into the consciousness in the form of terma. Among them, they often received some kind of inspiration in childhood or in dreams, and after a serious illness, they began to sing freely. Even those who had never received education could fluently sing long verses.
Master Anren also told Jiang Wen that the terma has the special characteristics of speed, purity, directness, secrets, and shortcuts. When a true terma is taken out, it will save a certain number of sentient beings, especially in the When it is first taken out, its blessing power will be very strong and it will be easy to achieve achievements - this characteristic also seems to be a characteristic of Buddhism.
According to Buddhist scriptures, before Sakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment, six other Buddhas including Vipassana Buddha attained enlightenment and blessed the world. And no matter which Buddha is born in the past solemn kalpa or the present virtuous kalpa, he will preach the Dharma widely and save his believers after his initial enlightenment. Because there are tens of thousands of people who hear the initial dharma and are liberated, all because of the divine power blessed by the initial dharma.
Master Anren continued to explain, "During the 500 years when Buddha Shakyamuni first turned the prayer wheel and began to preach the Dharma, there were very many people who achieved success in practice. Later, the chance of success in practice gradually decreased. The same reason is true. .”
"Of course, the blessing of the initial Dharma does not mean that one can ascend to heaven. Only a person with superior abilities like the Black Hat Dharma King can be brave and diligent to reach Bodhi."
"The first people who had the honor to hear the Buddha's sermons were the five attendants who became monks with the Buddha. They all heard the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha in Sarnath, but only the Venerable Kauchenru understood the true meaning. Later, due to the power of the blessing of the initial teachings, , who becomes the first to receive the taste of the Dharma and meditate on the Four Noble Truths, will achieve the status of Arahant."
According to Master Anren’s explanation, it was the blessing of the First Dharma that enabled him to be the first to enlighten among the disciples of the Buddha, and he became the first disciple of the Sravaka to realize enlightenment. And he also became the first disciple of the Sravaka after the Buddha’s death. Will continue to accumulate insight knowledge, and as long as another Buddha is born, he will still become a monk and become a practitioner, and achieve the status of Arahant again.
Seeing what Master Anren said so conclusively, Jiang Wen couldn't find any specific examples to refute his doubts. Firstly, Jiang Wen's understanding of the Buddhist scriptures was only half a bucket of water. Secondly, the Venerable Kochenru was already quite knowledgeable. Mysterious, his deeds after becoming a bhikkhu are not recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. It is only known that he was the first to achieve the four fruits in the sect, and he is the most elder. He often wears black monk robes and sits on the throne. His appearance is never seen by ordinary people.
"The master is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Jiang admires him."
Adhering to the principle of joining if you can't beat him, Jiang Wen immediately started to flatter him and asked the question from another angle.
"Master Anren, why are you so familiar with the affairs of the Miaobao Dharma King? Logically speaking, the cultivation methods and hidden secrets should be the secrets of their sect that are not passed down."
Upon hearing this, Master Anren sighed and slowly closed his eyes, as if he wanted to look to the end of the world to find a lonely figure.
"At that time, Xu Hongzu's benefactor used his solitary Qiong and his two sisters to go up to Kunlun and travel across the Western Regions. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the old monk also had the honor to follow Xu's benefactor out of Yumen Pass to Kunlun Mountain. When Xifan paid homage to the Dharma King of Wonderful Treasures in his previous life, the things that the old monk just described were naturally narrated by the old Dharma King himself."
Jiang's spirit was lifted when he heard that he couldn't help but said in awe, "Master An Ren actually had such great achievements! Jiang is extremely impressed!"
Xu Xiake's unswerving journey of thousands of miles is a grand event that is enough to attract everyone's attention. With the power of one person, he has eclipsed the so-called century-old fame and eternal hegemony that have been forged with blood and tears in history. A little bit, this alone is enough to be proud of future generations.
But Master Anren fell into a continuous silence, his old face seemed to start to tremble, and he said something of unknown meaning to Jiang Wen.
"Amitabha, in fact, the regrets that donor Xu left behind are no less than these great achievements..."
The dusty past in his memory suddenly came back, and Master Anren fell silent. He saw in a trance that the old man who was dragging his sick feet and walking alone one second ago had turned into a handful of loess and dust all over the ground the next second. The road to the Western Expedition is endless, but Anren is the only one left in the world. The journey is difficult and reaches the end of the road. His figure, together with the footprints on the yellow sand, will soon be submerged in the flying sand and rocks of the desert outside the pass...
Just when the two were confused, the whole world suddenly began to twist and change, as if they were tiny reptiles attached to the canvas and rice paper.
In their eyes, the huge and spinning changes are just an ordinary trivial thing that the painter did casually. However, the familiar environment and similar pictures in the whole world have become so huge that it is incomprehensible and terrifying.
Behind them, the Buddhist cliff riddled with holes dug by Song Monk has disappeared, and the Jizu Mountain Yin where countless corpses are buried has also faded away. A ray of warm sunshine is now falling from the zenith, leaning against the light The sky clouds are shining on a huge rock that is more than thirty feet high, and there is a stone crack that cracks vertically like a knife, which just divides the stone door into two!
This place is backed by towering giant rocks and faces an abyss in front of it. Looking down, it is the Jizu Mountain Yin that has been shrouded in darkness for thousands of years. Under the sun, the silver light of the giant rocks is bright, and a hanging waterfall hangs alone in front of the mountain, rippling. The valleys, leading to victory, present an indescribable and sacred state.
Jiang Wen and the other three were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they would be out of the sea of misery in an instant. No longer needing to judge and identify, they also knew that they had risen straight from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, standing in front of the most famous Huashou Gate in Jizu Mountain.
——The clouds and mist that rise up in the mountains instantly and dissipate after breathing are like the wind-sleeved clothes of Arhat, ever-changing. The morning clouds and mist here seemed to make them and their party come in the mist. Legend has it that an Arhat comes by cloud every day just to pay homage to Lord Kasyapa at Huashou Gate.
"Are we saved?"
The little monk Pinzhao woke up after a long time. He spent the rest of his life rubbing his chest and back, as if he couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes, but he was extremely happy and turned around to say thank you to the Dharma King Miaobao.
The previous three people were all looking up at Huashou Chongyan. Only Dharma King Miaobao, who had been chanting sutras and rescuing Luo Shuang'er, was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, motionless. At this time, Pinzhao turned around and said hello, only to find Miaobao. The familiar expression of warmth and warmth that once made people feel like spring breeze was no longer in the eyes of His Holiness. Instead, there was an unsettling feeling of alienation and loneliness.
The young monk Pinzhao hesitated for a moment, as if he was not aware of the contrast, or perhaps felt that as the savior, Dharma King Miaobao should not make such malicious speculations, so he continued to walk there step by step.
But the next moment, he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, because Pinzhao found that the Dharma King Miaobao, who looked like Xifan, actually stood up, gently removed the palm that was caressing her head, and then continued to recite the common mantra in his mouth. With a sudden push from both palms, the unconscious Luo Shuang'er was pushed into the cliff in front of her!
Pinzhao's exclamation suddenly lost his voice at this moment, or maybe the sound lost its effect at this moment. The figure in white clothes like snow had turned into clouds and fell off the cliff, but in the blink of an eye, another figure used as fast as At the speed of lightning, he flew off the cliff and chased the figure of the woman in white. Only the call of "Sister Frost" filled with extreme anger and worry was left, lingering in the infinite valley!
Pinzhao, who was dumbstruck, was pulled hard by someone, and his body almost fell backward. It was Master Anren who was the only one left behind him. He stood with his hands in front of him, protected Pinzhao with the same incredible eyes, and coldly asked the familiar and unfamiliar people in front of him. figure.
"Who the hell are you?!"
But Dharma King Miaobao stood on the spot, and the unsettling aura on his body became stronger. He turned into a ferocious and powerful god who raised his yue knife in the sky and held the bloody skull vessel in his hand. It seemed that the whole world was dominated by him. , even the sunshine in the sky was dyed with wisps of black air, it seemed that some things in Jizu Mountain's shadow were being led by him, and began to spread and invade the sunny side of Jizu Mountain!

[When the ancient monument near the city of Parana was unearthed, no one knew what it meant. That ancient stele that no one can identify is known to the national master of Ati Kingdom, Immortal Asituo, and all the six heretical masters and Brahmans with supernatural powers also know it in their hearts. 】
[The day the words on the ancient stele were translated, I traveled thousands of miles to see them, but I couldn't decipher the answer. Until Kaccayana heard that Immortal Azita spoke about Prince Siddhartha, saying that he had become enlightened and called himself Buddha, so he went to Zhulin Jingshe to visit the Buddha. 】
[The Buddha replied in a verse: The King of Kings is the Sixth Heavenly King, and the Holy One of Holy Ones is the Great Enlightenment Buddha. Those who are polluted by ignorance are fools, and those who are free from defilements are wise. People with dual attachments to self and law are drowning in the sea of life and death. Those who realize the emptiness of dependent origination are liberated in the Garden of Freedom. Only by cultivating the Tao can we get rid of greed, anger and delusion, and by diligently cultivating precepts, concentration and wisdom can we achieve Nirvana. 】
[In order to seek liberation, I also found the Buddha on Lingjiu Mountain in Luoyuecheng. Although the Buddha talked a lot with me and showed me the indescribable world beyond the ninety-six heretics that I could see with my celestial vision, the strange thing is that I can't recall what the Buddha actually said to me. What. 】
[But no matter what, Buddha has convinced me. After that day, I joined the religious order just like other monks who followed the Buddha. I shaved off my beard and hair, put on the three dharma robes, and practiced the holy life. After all life and death, I continued to work hard until my work was done and I was no longer pregnant. Finally, I worked tirelessly because of my great faith. , achieved the path of Arahat. 】
[Everything seemed perfect until that day when I saw the Buddha sitting in the room with a wound on his foot. Venerable Ananda was carefully applying medicine and bandage to the Buddha, while a wooden stick stained with blood was lying on the ground. I understood that the Buddha must have been injured by a wooden stick. 】
[Everyone doesn’t understand that Buddha has an indestructible body. Why can a wooden stick hurt him? But I have already seen that this is karma. All living beings who combine the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind have such painful feelings, even Buddhas are no exception. 】
[Buddha said that the physical body formed by the four false combinations is not real in the first place. Formation, abiding, destruction, and emptiness are inevitable. This is the nature of all things. Only by complying with the nature of the law can one be called a Buddha. Even if the Buddha has realized the true nature of the Dharma, as long as he is in this world, he is still a human being, needs to be born and raised by his parents, and has the same human appearance as us. 】
[At this point, hiding among the crowd, I finally understood the secret of becoming a Buddha...]
