After becoming a monk, Yu Wan's memory has been able to achieve a photographic memory. After looking through the first row of books on the shelf, she discovered the reasons for the formation of the Buddhist world.
It turns out that in the beginning, Buddha Sakyamuni was also a Brahmin believer. Even among Brahmins with extremely serious caste divisions, Sakyamuni's ancestors were born in the second-class aristocratic Kshatriya family of Brahmin. When he came to Sakyamuni, he His beliefs are contrary to class differentiation. He flatters that all living beings are suffering, all living beings are equal, and all living beings can be Buddhas. He follows the five precepts, six salvations and ten good karma and paths to save himself and others.
It was precisely because his ideas were contrary to those of Brahman that he chose to set up his own school and established the world of Bodhisattva, which is also the world of Buddhism.
People who share his beliefs gradually support the world. Among the untouchables who were abandoned by the fourth-class nobles, they have the largest number in the Buddha world. The unfair and unequal treatment of the untouchables by the Brahmins has made them suffer. Bullying, and the emergence of the Whirlpool Realm allowed them to be saved and liberated in their hearts.
What's more, Buddhist practice is more about saving oneself and others through ascetic practice. It also makes believers secretly feel that they are being treated unfairly. It is a test of their own practice. They experience all kinds of suffering and practice. Isn't it what people are doing now?
With this understanding, everyone thinks that they are practicing cultivation, going through kalpas, and receiving instructions from the Buddha. They can all resolve their inner resistance and uneasiness, make themselves peaceful, and find a pure land...
Seemingly finding a place of empathy, the number of followers of Buddhism expanded rapidly in a very short period of time, far exceeding the followers of the original Brahman religion of creation. This is why the two major sects exist in this world, and finally Why should the world of Buddha be the standard?
After roughly understanding the historical origins of the Buddhist world, Yu Wan discovered that Buddhist practices really need to be blessed with the aura of the Buddha's seal, that is, the power of believers' faith, in order to maximize their use, and this power of faith is particularly miraculous.
Its existence is more like a combination of the power of the moon wheel in the sea of consciousness and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! It can be present anytime and anywhere like the aura of heaven and earth, but it may not be owned by you unless the believers are truly conquered by you and they are willing to worship you and make you their god of faith. Power, the power of spiritual energy that transcends heaven and earth, is as powerful as the power of the moon, and is unstoppable!
Originally, Yu Wan felt that it would be quite difficult and dangerous if she wanted to obtain this power of faith. After all, she was not a Buddhist, so she would not be able to obtain the power of faith that the Buddha, like the way of heaven, would feed back to his disciples. body.
But when Yu Wan saw the Buddha's words that everyone can become a Buddha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, Yu Wan knew that Buddha is everywhere, just like the way of heaven, everywhere, and they are all beliefs in his heart. And this belief is that there is no big difference between Buddha and Tao. After all, Tao and Buddha have many common principles.
There is an essential difference between the two and demons. With this understanding, Yu Wan felt that she could still contract a Buddhist artifact.
Even if she is not someone who chants sutras and recites Buddhas, let alone a person with six pure roots, as long as she adheres to her fundamental bottom line as a human being, after all, in this fantasy world, she is not the kind of person who can kill. On the other hand, they are all forced.
If you follow the ten good deeds as much as possible, you can still absorb a certain amount of faith, right? !
In this case, see if you can practice some Buddhist mantras. Looking at the whole process, this kind of magic blessing is relatively simple and easy to understand compared to those Buddhist merits and virtues.
After all, Yu Wan really doesn't like things that require too much brain work. She prefers things that are simple and crude and can solve problems immediately.
Besides, she was initially attracted by Miao Buddha's swastika mantra. Together with this interest, people always remember it. Since she has found a solution that can be used by non-Buddhists, why not learn this Buddhist mantra? !
With the decision made, Yu Wan had a clear goal. Sure enough, after reading one book after another on the first row of bookshelves, Yu Wan started to pick and read when he reached the second row.
Buddhist books are divided into three categories: sutras, rules, and treatises according to the content they contain.
As for the "mantra", it belongs to the Buddhist scriptures, so Yu Wan carefully selected books about the Buddhist scriptures to read.
Finally, after searching through it, Yu Wan came across a book called "The Collection of Buddhist Mantra Sutras". One of them was about the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", which is also regarded as the "Mantra Sutra". The full text is only 300 words long. , but every word is pearly.
Different from charms, charms need to be drawn with the help of pen and ink.
The Buddha's mantras are like scriptures. They can be turned into "mantras" by relying on the mind, eyes, and mouth to understand them, follow your heart, eliminate distracting thoughts, and follow them out of your mouth!
This caught Yu Wan's attention, and Yu Wan even concentrated on it. She quietly followed the words in the mantra and began to mutter to herself:
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and survived all the hardships. The relic...
…
That is to say, the mantra says: Reveal the truth, reveal the truth, Polo reveals the truth, Polo monk reveals the truth, Bodhisattva reveals. "
After Yu Wan finished reciting word for word carefully, she felt that the Buddhist beads that were originally on her right hand flashed with a golden light!
Because the Buddha beads are made of dark brown sandalwood, it is impossible to emit golden light. Yu Wan's left hand, holding a book, was within the range of his eyes. This golden light flashed away, which was particularly dazzling. This discovery Yu Wan was amazed!
Could it be that because I silently recited the Heart Sutra, I had that golden light? !
As Yu Wan continued to study, I realized that whenever believers silently recite sutras or mantras, the power of merit and faith will turn around and be reincarnated!
And this golden light is equivalent to the power of faith!
If no dedication is made, it will automatically be absorbed into the Buddhist vessel that holds the Buddha's seal, or if there is no Buddhist vessel, the power of merit or faith will bless the owner.
And the dedication is more of a prayer for good. Even if these mantras are spoken, the thoughts in the mind are mostly based on good intentions!
When Yu Wan read the entire "Collection of Buddhist Mantras", which included "Pure Heart Mantra", "Six-Character Great Ming Mantra", "Vajra Mantra", etc., she began to understand that although the Buddha's mantra contained a "curse" Words, but it is not like witchcraft. It seems that evil thoughts such as lowering the head will directly affect the other party.
The Buddha's mantra and Buddhist scriptures are more about using good to defeat evil to achieve the realm you want. This is the meaning of the existence of the Buddha's mantra.
Yu Wan felt that when Miaofu used the swastika defensive curse, her intention to recite the curse at that time was not to curse her, but to pray for strengthening her own defense, right?
Even the two swastika chains that attacked him in the end would only entangle and interfere with him at most.
Because Miaofu didn't show any ill intentions, her chain was extremely tough. If it weren't for Miaofu's lack of spiritual energy, Yu Wan wouldn't have been able to cut the chain with her current foundation-building strength.
With this understanding, Yu Wan sighed helplessly in her heart, Buddhism is indeed boundless in its profound meaning...
After getting this "Collection of Buddhist Mantra Sutras", it was impossible for Yu Wan to keep it with me. In addition to having a photographic memory and remembering it deeply in my mind, there are also people who copy the sutras themselves and recite them silently for backup, as if they were pious to the Buddha. The bookstore does not It provides jade slip rubbings like those in the world of cultivation.
This "Collection of Buddhist Mantras" does not have much content. Each mantra ranges from a few words to a hundred and eighty characters. Yu Wan can definitely remember it in her mind, but she still imitates those devout pilgrims and Lay people, put out pens, inkstones, paper and ink, and carefully and devoutly copy and collect the sutras.
After Yu Wan finished copying the collection of scriptures and put them back to their original places, she stopped staying in the book pavilion and walked out of the main door of the auxiliary hall.
By coincidence, when Yu Wan stepped through the door of the auxiliary hall, two female nuns passed by her. One of them was dressed as a nun, and the other looked more like a lay disciple or a pilgrim.
And that nun was Miao Yuan. When I was sparring with Miao Buddha in the evening and early morning, she didn't pay attention to anyone else. Naturally, she had no impression of Miao Yuan, so she walked away simply.
On the contrary, Miao Yuan paused, turned around and looked back at Yu Wan, who was walking away from them, and could not help but frown in suspicion:
Isn't this the pilgrim Miaofu brought back and called Yu Wan? How come she is here?
What surprised Miao Yuan the most was that she actually felt the aura of Buddha's seal on Yu Wan's body? ! Isn't this speed too fast? !
"Miaoyuan, what are you looking at?"
The girl next to Miao Yuan looked at her and asked.
Miao Yuan, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by the girl and was instantly brought back from her thoughts. She turned to the girl and said:
"Ah...oh, it's nothing. Let's go. There is a bookstore in front of us."
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the gate, leading the way and leading the girl towards the bookstore...
At this time, the sky was getting dark. Yu Wan got a new book and was very interested. When she returned to Miaofu's yard at Chaotian Peak, she went directly back to the house and closed the door and went to bed. After setting up an isolation barrier for herself, she just meditated and closed herself up. He calmed his mind, let his soul enter the sea of consciousness, and came to Liuli's side.
After resting for two days, Dahuang's soul has recovered. He woke up long ago, but he found that this place is surprisingly empty and spacious, but there are too few living creatures. It cannot be said that there are too few living creatures. It should be said that there are always spiritual consciousness and can reply. There were too few living creatures, and currently there was only Liuli. As for Liuli, he only focused on meditating and absorbing the power of the moonlight. Unfortunately, he was tired of running around, so he lay down not far below Liuli and slept lightly.
When Yu Wan's soul entered and made noise, Dahuang was the first to react. He immediately opened his eyes and looked up to see Yu Wan standing up and shaking his hair, and said happily:
"Master, master, you have come in. Dahuang is almost bored to death. When can I go out?"
"This... it's not possible right now. You'd better not go out to this world. After all, if you're not familiar with this place, I won't let you be restrained when you return to the world of cultivation, okay?"
Yu Wan was speechless. This rhubarb was used to being free-range. It was really not easy to take back his life and hold him captive...
When Dahuang heard that he couldn't get out, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He had no choice but to lie back on the ground again, looking at her with an embarrassment and a pitiful expression on his face.
Yu Wan just pretended not to see it, decisively turned her back on this guy, and began to open the "Collection of Buddhist Mantra Sutras" and continue to study.
Seeing that Yu Wan not only refused to let him go out, but was actually completely ignored by him, Dahuang felt that he was extremely pitiful and had no love, so he let out two "Hmmmm..." like a kitten or puppy asking for attention, as if to vent his anger. A neighing whine...
Yu Wan still ignored him to the end, pretending not to hear him. Dahuang used his big move when he saw it. Yu Wan still ignored him and had no choice but to continue lying there, staring at Yu Wan motionlessly.
Liuli Zhiyuwan entered the sea of consciousness, slowly opened her eyes, flew over her and asked:
"Are you really planning to study this Buddhist mantra?"
He saw everything that Yu Wan had experienced today. At this time, he saw that Yu Wan was studying the "Buddha's Mantra Sutra" and couldn't help but ask her about it.
Yu Wan did not raise her head to look at Liuli, but carefully flipped through her copy, nodded lightly and said:
"Well, the Buddha's mantra is good. You only need to recite it devoutly, and you can attack. Let me tell you, this is much cheaper than talismans. You don't need to buy paper or expensive animal blood or cinnabar. It can output attacks, you think it’s great or not!”
Liuli couldn't help rolling her eyes and said speechlessly:
"As expected, I can't think too highly of you. I thought you could find another method, which is really rare. The main reason why I have been writing this for a long time is because you can save money by chanting mantras?! After hearing what you said, the Buddha probably wanted to Jumping!"
"Hey...you speak with your conscience, am I not telling the truth? The spell itself is not as expensive as a spell, okay?" Yu Wan raised an eyebrow and replied.
"You're the only one with a lot of lies. Okay, let's study it carefully." Liuli was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Wan, so she had to float back to her original position and continue to close her eyes and rest.
Only then did Yu Wan finally calm down and start studying Buddhist mantras seriously...
