The old ape took a lot of fruits to celebrate Li Ye's catching the wind.
Li Ye lit a fire outside the cave and roasted the hare on the fire. The dripping barbecue fed the young apes on the mother ape. Foodie Xiaobai dragged a leg and ran to the side to eat.
Li Ye looked at the old ape and sighed, and murmured: "It's a pity that I never learned winemaking from the master, otherwise the many wild fruits in the mountains would be excellent for winemaking."
The old ape smiled at Li Ye: "We are very lucky to meet the young gentleman, so we can't be greedy anymore."
Xiaobai gnawed on a leg and felt happy. He kept jumping around in the hole and watched the two of them moaning, which meant that it was not enough and he wanted to eat more.
Li Ye wiped his oil-stained hands, looked at it and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll give it to you after it's baked. These must be eaten by the seniors' relatives first."
Xiaobai seemed to understand Li Ye's words and ran to the entrance of the cave and yelled outside.
Li Ye laughed when he looked at it. The old ape turned around and looked at him in surprise, wondering what was wrong with this young gentleman. In the past few days of knowing him, he had never seen him so bold and bold.
"Little sir, what do you think of the environment here?" Lao Yuan asked while helping Li Ye barbecue.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He looked at him and replied without thinking: "This place is great, with mountains and water, and no shortage of food. I just don't understand how you can survive the winter." ?”
The old ape looked at him and sighed, and said softly: "Winter is a difficult season for all the creatures on Tianshan Mountain. We only go to the mountains to dig some wild potatoes in autumn and dry them to satisfy our hunger in winter. "
After hearing this, Li Ye frowned, looked at him and said, "We will go hunting in a few days and dry some dried meat so that we can share it with our seniors in winter."
Lao Yuan didn't expect Li Ye to say that. He looked at him and nodded, smiling: "I'll help you then."
Li Ye stood up and faced the mountain stream outside the stone platform, looking at the vast Tianshan Mountains thoughtfully.
He turned back and looked at the old ape and said: "From now on, I will practice in the cave above the waterfall. We will lecture on it at night. When I practice on weekdays, seniors can come and join me if they are interested."
Li Ye, who had broken through the realm, was not too surprised, because he saw his husband's practice, and his vision was farther away.
Being in Tianshan is just a practice in his life.
Giving up the joy at this time, Li Ye turned his head and glanced at Xiao Bai, bowed to the old ape and saluted, turned around and walked towards the top of the waterfall. Tonight, he had to think carefully about what he would face next. Practice issues.
Leading Xiao Bai, Li Ye returned to the cave where Po Xu had been during the day, and carefully wiped off the dust on the stone platform in front of Monk Po Xu with his broken clothes during the day. He would practice and rest here in the future.
He has reason to believe that the Poxu monk back then sat here and realized the Tao, and finally left. If you practice here for one to two years, you can improve your state of mind and practice and step into the highest practice.
Gently turning the ring between his left fingers, his mind felt inside. It felt as if I had entered a space that was larger than a room at home. It was filled with pots and pans needed for daily life. There were also a few bags of rice piled in the corner. I thought to myself that the Poxu monk had really walked away. Don't take away a single thing from this world.
There are some scriptures and books stacked on the antique wooden shelves, and two wooden boxes contain some unworn coarse cloth monk robes and several pieces of unknown silk cloth. Could it be that this old monk also makes his own clothes?
Li Ye reached out and took out a scroll of scriptures. When he came out and opened it, he saw the three characters "Lotus Sutra" written in yellow paint on the title page. When he opened it and looked at it, he was stunned:
With this single-minded blessing, I am willing to seek the supreme path.
I have acquired all wisdom and reached all levels of meditation.
It was the scriptures he saw on the stone wall of the cave, which later turned into dust after a thunderstorm. Shocked, I continued to read the poem:
No one with strong acceptance and upholding can come out of this sutra. Link the non-mechanical teachings together and outwit the remaining dust. Hearing it and being deeply respected, all the achievements are impressive to the king. Often at the beginning of the sutra, summarize it in order. I have purified my six roots early, and I look forward to the grand meeting of the loving and merciful Lord. Acquire the Four Virtues Quickly, the Xuanyou of Fun Land...
Unexpectedly, I met the old ape by chance. Before I came to the cave, I read some supreme scriptures and was able to break through. Then I entered the cave and obtained many relics of the eminent monk. Each of them was a treasure that is hard to find in the world.
Feeling grateful in my heart, I kowtowed three more times to the shadow on the stone wall. The moon outside the cave has risen. The moonlight shines through the entrance of the cave and shines on the blue stone wall. The mottled figure seems to come alive at this moment. A powerful righteousness, mixed with the breath of heaven and earth from Tianshan, slowly enters Li Ye's body. Moisturizes things silently.
If Li Ye took off his clothes and looked at it at this moment, he would find that the golden lotus on his right arm had slowly faded until it was completely hidden. And on his white and red back, a golden lotus appeared faintly, a pale golden lotus with thirty-two petals.
From the nine-petal white lotus at birth to the eighteen-petal golden lotus, tonight it disappeared from the arm and turned into the thirty-two-petal lotus on the back. The skinny Li Ye completed the evolution of his spiritual practice in this world bit by bit, just like the silkworm emerging from its cocoon and turning into a butterfly.
From the day he started practicing with his husband, he never thought about practicing Buddhism, but Buddhism has always followed him, just like some people who are born with self-awareness, and he is one of those people who are prophetic and foresighted.
The mottled figure on the blue stone wall gradually became lighter and disappeared little by little under the moonlight. Li Ye's body had an extremely abundant aura of righteousness.
Feeling the changes in his body, he thought carefully about whether Old Monk Poxu had given him the awe-inspiring righteousness he left in this world? If my husband knew about it, would it be a good thing or a bad thing? Next time I go down the mountain, I have to ask the old monk at the Great Buddha Temple.
Looking at the round of understanding outside the cave, Li Ye sat in lotus position and meditated, with his five hearts facing the sky, and began to chant the Ksitigarbha Sutra that he had practiced for a long time.
In the future life, there will be many people who are short of food and clothing, who obey their wishes, may suffer from many diseases, may suffer from severe decline, may suffer from unrest in their homes, may their families be scattered, may do other misfortunes, may they often disobey their bodies, may they be frightened in their sleep and dreams. terror.
...
His voice of chanting sutras today was a bit special. It may be that his body was fused with the awe-inspiring righteousness of Poxu Monk. The sound of sutras coming out of his mouth was not as loud as usual, but it penetrated the cave tonight and penetrated the cave. The woods outside echoed throughout the mountains and rivers.
The old ape had led a group of descendants to wait quietly outside the cave. After hearing Li Ye's chanting scriptures, they all knelt on the ground facing the cave and listened to the Dharma quietly.
Xiaobai had already run to the pile of rocks on the edge of the woods, joined a group of gray wolves, lay down next to the old wolf and raised his ears to listen to the extremely solemn Buddhist scriptures coming from the cave.
A strange phenomenon occurred outside the cave. The wolves and apes, which usually never stay together, were not far from each other, but they were living in peace. They all pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the Buddhist scriptures coming from the cave.
Tonight's Buddhist scriptures are like the rippling river outside the cave. The power contained in the waves spreads to all directions outside the cave in the radiance of the moonlight, nourishing all living beings waiting outside the cave.
Xiaobai's changes were obvious. His pale white nipple hair had faded away and crystal white hair had grown, shining in the moonlight.
The old wolf's body was also glowing with golden light, as if it was about to fade in the next moment.
The old ape sitting outside the cave, his face full of tears, had already felt the changes in his body. The century-old vitality had been nourished by Buddhist scriptures and began to sprout quietly in the soil like spring seeds.
If the practice of Li Ye, who had just broken through the realm, was not stable due to lack of true energy, then his realm at this moment was due to the awe-inspiring righteousness left by the monk Po Xu entering the body, which dyed the body with turbidity in the secular world. Everything is cleansing and quiet.
Only the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" and "Ksitigarbha Sutra" are left, plus the awe-inspiring righteousness of Poxu Monk, and the extremely pure heaven and earth energy, which constitutes the awe-inspiring true energy needed for his Dantian Golden Pill, which slowly flows through the twelve meridians. Slowly flowing, changing the structure of his body.
When he was in Fengyun City, his husband repeatedly told Li Ye not to break through his realm at will, but to start practicing from his own state of mind.
Then, because of the old master monk at the Great Buddha Temple, the many opportunities on Tianshan Mountain, and the monk Po Xu at this time, Li Ye's state of mind exceeded what he should have been at his age, and his state of practice was also unstoppable. Out of control, heading towards a higher realm.
Li Ye inherited his master's mantle and has already mastered tea ceremony, harp music and kendo.
From now on, he will possess the Dharma that the teacher does not possess, the most refined and sincere Dharma in these five realms.
If Poxu Monk who stepped on the void was the one who escaped, Li Ye was the only two in the world.
Because of his trip to the Tianshan Mountains, he could practice Buddhism without any distractions and reach the Tao with an undifferentiated mind. The second is the mind of discrimination, and non-duality is the mind of non-discrimination. Tonight, he broke through all the laws of the world and directly entered the Tao.
The Buddha said: As I mean, all dharma has no words, no explanations, no manifestations, no awareness, and is separated from questions and answers. This is the door to the non-dual Dharma.
At this time, Li Ye had already entered the Tao, so he no longer had to spend time searching for that elusive method.
If a Dependent Origination method is used well, it will be a merit, but if it is used improperly, it will be a hindrance. All methods are the same. From the ultimate truth, there is no difference between heretics and the true Dharma.
All the difference lies in the difference of heart. For practitioners in the world, the purpose of seeking the Tao is to achieve a certain fruition. With a discriminating mind, many causes and effects will arise.
Dependently originating all dharmas, then there are the concepts and names of heretics, righteous dharma, conditioned and unconditioned, worldly and supramundane.
Once you have the phase, it is easy to grasp the phase. Once you grasp the phase, how can you attain enlightenment?
If Li Ye was still practicing in the secular world at this moment, he would be like the Poxu monk who stepped away from the world. He had meditated on Ku Chan for hundreds of years, but he might not have realized the Tao.
On the other hand, people like Li Ye, whose heart is like a mirror and whose body is transformed into a lotus platform, and under the urging of Monk Poxu's majestic righteousness, can enter the supreme path of enlightenment, towards that: "Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a tree. Go away from the realm of "Tai".
The wolves outside the cave have dispersed, and the old ape has led his descendants back to the cave under the waterfall.
The moon of Tianshan Mountain hangs quietly in the sky, and its boundless divine brilliance shines on the land she cares for.
Xiaobai also returned to the cave, lay down next to Li Ye and closed his eyes.
It has undergone degradation and needs to rest quietly at this moment to replenish the energy it has consumed in its body.
Li Ye, who was sitting on the ground in meditation, fell into concentration after reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra twice. At this time, he was experiencing the feeling of neither increasing nor decreasing,
The wonder of immortality.
Tonight, his realm has not increased at all, and the alchemy in his body has not decreased because of chanting the sutra for two hours.
The elixir in the body, combined with the divine brilliance of the moon in the sky, flows continuously through the twelve main meridians and the two meridians of Ren and Du, forming a circle, swirling and flowing in the body, like the flowing water of a river, endlessly.
Every time after reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra twice, he would fall asleep and sleep until dawn. Then at this moment, he didn't even feel tired, and continued to remain in a state of trance, with his five minds pointing to the sky and forgetting both things and myself.
The moonlight shone on the bluestone ground before he meditated, reflecting brightly on his slightly gray face.
Xiaobai, who was about to fall asleep, raised his head and looked at the moonlight outside the cave, then looked back at Li Ye who was in meditation, and whimpered a few times. He also wondered why Li Ye, who had finished reciting Buddhist scriptures tonight, He actually didn't fall asleep as usual.
When dawn was about to break, two gray shadows floated on the ground outside the cave, leaving behind a hare and a pheasant.
