Zen actually said that I have been practicing for eight lives in the world, and now I am in the ninth life, but why can’t I remember the memories of the first eight lives?
Just when I wanted to ask, Zen said meaningfully: "I know what you are thinking. As for the memory of past lives, the Buddha cannot give a very reasonable explanation. He can only say that this is the law of heaven and earth. People are reincarnated. After reincarnation, you will no longer remember the memories of previous lives, unless you reach a very high level to know."
"Furthermore, you have not been able to get rid of emotions and desires in your first eight lives. Your practice ended in failure. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are very disappointed with you. If you are still unable to cut off your desires in this ninth life, you will have to practice in the tenth life. , until you completely cut off your passions, if you never can do this, you will be reincarnated in the six realms for life after life, and you will never be able to make a breakthrough."
After hearing this, I was very confused. Didn't grandma say that I need to find the female incarnation of the other half of my soul and combine them together in order to achieve enlightenment?
The way to come together seems to be to get together and get married.
But why, this Zen says, let me get rid of emotions and desires, so wouldn’t it be contrary to combining with my other half of the soul?
I asked curiously: "Zen, my grandma said that I need to merge with my other half's soul. This includes getting married. But you said that I can achieve enlightenment only after I give up love and desire?"
"I just wanted to tell you this. You met your significant other's soul in your previous eight lives, but you still couldn't cut off the love. As for why you have to leave love and desire, it's because, ah..."
Suddenly, before Zen could finish his words, he covered his head and began to scream, "Ahhhhh, it hurts, it hurts, my head hurts, no, I can't think about it anymore, I can't remember it, ahhhh, ohhhhhh." ..”
I looked at him in confusion, until he felt pain for a while, then he took a deep breath and looked at me and said: "I can't think about it anymore. Because of the injury, my memory has been lost. As long as I think about key issues, my head will..." It hurts. In short, the road to union between you and your other half, your twin flame, is not that simple. Once you meet her, your enemies and creditors from all your lives will appear, and they will interfere with your union and form various obstacles. of."
Hearing this, I frowned and thought. I thought that after meeting the other half of the soul, falling in love with her and then getting married would be considered a union.
But now it seems that things are far from as simple as I imagined, but the key to the path of twin flame union, why Yiji should abandon love and desire, but Zen can't think of it.
I sighed and asked: "Zen, since you have forgotten and cannot tell me many important points, how can I practice? For example, why do I want to be with my other half of my soul, and why should I stay away from emotions and desires? By the way, I often practice recently. I dreamed of a girl in black, she must be my other half soul, will she appear in my life soon?"
Although I subconsciously knew that the girl in the dream was my other half, I still wanted to confirm it.
"Yes, she is your other half soul!" Zen said affirmatively: "The fact that you have dreamed about that girl in black many times is a reminder to you. In recent years, you should pay more attention to the people around you, especially those around you. Go to town more often, and within five years, she is likely to appear in your life, in any form. She is very important to you and is the foundation for your enlightenment and Buddhahood."
Zen paused and then said: "As for the problem of my memory loss, you don't have to worry. When my injury gradually recovers, my memory will naturally recover, and then I will be able to tell you the key points on the road to twin flame union. For example, why do you want to marry the other person and why should you give up love and desire?"
"Damn it, that powerful man of the Demonic Way is too insidious. If it were not for the help of the Buddha at the critical moment, these two Taoist tools, including the Four Zen and Eight Concentrations, would have completely collapsed, and you would have completely cut off the inheritance. By then, , you will never be able to practice again."
When I heard this, my brows furrowed into knots, and I asked out of curiosity which path the sentient beings of the Demon Path belonged to.
Zen pondered for a while and said: "The living beings in the path of gods and demons are the sentient beings in the path of gods and humans, but they are demons in the path of gods and humans. They live in the self-transformation heaven of the sixth level of the desire world. All the gods and demons are the old enemies and mortal enemies of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." .
"He transformed into the Heaven of Freedom? What kind of Heaven is that?" I asked curiously, full of doubts.
Zen suddenly looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "You must already know the six paths of reincarnation, and in the realm of heaven and humanity, there are still three realms and twenty-eight days, namely six days in the desire realm, eighteen days in the form realm, and four days in the colorless realm. There are countless billions of sentient beings in each heaven of a realm.”
"The six heavens in the Desire Realm from bottom to top are the Four Heavens, the Trayastry Heaven, the Suyanmo Heaven, the Tusita Heaven, and the famous Maitreya Bodhisattva who later filled the Buddha's throne. He is teaching the Dharma in the inner courtyard of the Tusita Heaven. He is the future Buddha."
After hearing this, I pondered deeply as I digested this huge flow of information.
Zen paused and said again: "Above Tusita Heaven is Hua Le Tian, and he is the Heaven of Transformation. Heavenly Demons are the demons who live in the last heaven. Demon King Bo Xun is the master of Heavenly Demons, and so is Bo Xun. The Lord of the Desire Realm, the six realms of reincarnation in which we live are all under the jurisdiction of the Desire Realm. As long as all living beings have desires, they are his dependents. He is the demon who least wants a Buddha to be born in the six realms."
Immediately afterwards, Zen said that he transformed into a demon in the heaven of freedom and could take for himself the happiness obtained by the desires of sentient beings in the six paths of reincarnation.
And the Great Demon King Bo Xun is able to condense all the happiness of all the billions of sentient beings in the six paths of reincarnation into himself.
For example, when you fall in love due to desire, eat delicious food, have fun, do any happy things, or even open a room with a couple, the happy emotions you get will be condensed in the body of the devil Bo Xun.
It can be said that Demon King Bo Xun is the condensed body of the desires of all sentient beings in the six paths of reincarnation.
Demon King Bo Xun can experience the sum of the happiness of all sentient beings in the six realms of reincarnation without doing anything. However, negative emotions can be filtered out automatically. You can imagine how happy he is.
And being able to use the happiness of all living beings for one's own use is also the origin of the name of the Self-transformation Heaven.
Therefore, the last thing he wants is for all sentient beings to be able to abandon their emotions and desires and suddenly become Buddhas.
For example, if all the sentient beings in the six paths of reincarnation abandon their emotions and desire to achieve Buddhahood, Demon King Bo Xun will have no family members and will not experience any happiness. Finally, he will fall into the hell because of his hatred. A very serious crime.
Such a frightening thing was something he never wanted to experience, so he did everything possible to prevent Sakyamuni from becoming a Buddha.
Now I finally realize that 2,500 years ago, the demon king Bo Xun led tens of millions of demon troops to prevent Sakyamuni from becoming a Buddha under the ancient Bodhi tree.
But the next moment, my whole body was shocked again, and I thought of a key question. Since I went down to earth to practice, I also aimed to become a Buddha.
Then Demon King Boshun will definitely regard me as a thorn in his side, and he will kill me no matter when.
After I asked this question worriedly.
Zen smiled and said: "You can rest assured. Your cultivation is still too weak now. In Bo Xun's eyes, you are like an ant. Not to mention Bo Xun, even ordinary demons are too lazy to pay attention to you. Come with me... .”
After finishing speaking, Zen drifted towards the left side of the stone platform.
When I came closer, he looked at the books on the stone platform and said: "This is the practice method of the Four Zen and Eight Concentrations. It is more authentic than the eight sects of Buddhism in the world. When you practice this method to be strong enough, you can enter the state of meditation. Only then will the demon appear to interfere with you."
