"Everyone knows that Xuanzang founded the Dharma-Xiang Sect, but the Dharma-Xiang Sect is also called the Consciousness-only Sect; what is consciousness-only, it is just the mind."
Wei Xuanzang sat cross-legged on the high couch, and Li Xuan sat on the futon under the high couch.
One speaks, the other listens.
Wei Xuanzang continued: "Mind-only does not allow for an independent state outside the mind. It is also called 'consciousness-only without a state'. All phenomena outside of my human mind are all manifested by my human mind itself, that is, It manifests and arises from the seeds in the mind, so except for the mind, all phenomena are unreal.”
After a short pause, Wei Xuanzang continued: "There is another saying, or from the aspect that all phenomena are changed by self-consciousness, it is called 'change by consciousness only'."
Li Xuan listened quietly, thinking to herself in her heart.
Xuanzang's knowledge-only sect is nothing more than giving up on myself and having no one else. I am the only one in heaven and on earth.
But it is extremely difficult to do this, so there is an easier way, that is, all phenomena will change on their own.
From all things, find the common ground of consciousness, and then use the consciousness as the basis, infinite accumulation, and finally achieve the way of Dharma, containing the Yang Shen.
Li Xuan raised her head, looked at her teacher Wei Xuanzang, and said softly: "Master, the Tao Sutra says: Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things. What the Consciousness Only Sect seeks is whether it is one."
"That's right." Wei Xuanzang nodded directly with satisfaction and said: "Tianzhu has entered the realm of Buddha's extinction. There have been no disciples of Arahant Buddha for hundreds of years. Xuanzang came from China. It seemed that he had enlightened himself to Buddhism, but he was not a disciple of Taoism. His thoughts were brought to Tianzhu, and after returning, many of the Consciousness-only Sects created had the shadow of the Taoist sect."
"After all, it is the combination of Taoism, Central-Earth Buddhism and Tianzhu Buddhism. It will be extremely difficult for latecomers to imitate it." Li Xuan looked at Wei Xuanzang with a solemn look on his face. Later, many people went to Tianzhu , but no one has achieved as much as Xuanzang, and this is why.
"Therefore, when Taoism turns to inner elixir, the Yang God is hidden in the inner elixir, containing the power of one's own essence and spirit. When it enters, it is hidden under the nine earths, and when it moves, it takes shape above the nine heavens." Wei Xuanzang looked at it deeply. Li Xuan said softly: "Use more of your own power and less of the energy of heaven and earth, just consciousness."
"If you don't use the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth less, then the so-called power of Yang Shen, Demonic Appearance and Dharma Appearance will be completely different from the power of the previous Golden Elixir." Li Xuan saw through the biggest shortcoming of the so-called inner elixir power at a glance.
Golden elixir, a golden word, the power of heaven and earth, is indestructible.
My fate is determined by me and not by God, and it will take hundreds of millions of years to turn the elixir into gold.
"It's just consciousness, only mind." Wei Xuanzang shook his head slightly and said: "Compared with the golden elixir, this method is completely different and has no power. It also cannot increase life span, but it can only prolong life...avoiding death and prolonging life. That’s the truth.”
Human lifespan is inherently limited, it may be a hundred years, or it may be three hundred years. When the life span is over, no matter who you are, you will eventually pass away.
Today's method is to dissolve all the energy, energy, and spirit into the inner elixir, so that the body's needs will become lighter and lighter, and it will turn to the function of warming and nourishing, so it can live longer but cannot prolong life.
The inner elixir is not the golden elixir after all, and my fate is still determined by fate.
…
"So, only consciousness, Dharma, and less use of the energy of heaven and earth, so in addition to spirit, there are also more illusions?" Li Xuan looked at Wei Xuanzang with some uncertainty.
Wei Xuanzang nodded and said: "There is also the art of flying swords. In the past, magic weapons were king, but now there are only flying swords and flying needles."
It may not be possible to use the Dharma to control a flying sword across a thousand miles, but there is no taboo for it across a hundred miles.
"This time in the battle against Tubo, King Ying has taken action, and Louguan Dao will have people following him, so what you are worried about will not happen." Wei Xuanzang gently gave Li Xuan a piece of common sense.
Li Xuan was speechless. How could he forget this?
Louguan Dao is the leader of the Taoist sect, and this kind of thing is their responsibility.
With Lou Guandao's real person following him, Li Xuan doesn't have to worry too much about Li Xian's safety, and he can put his mind elsewhere.
Wei Xuanzang looked at Li Xuan, waved his fly whisk, and said in a deep voice: "You are gifted, and your soul is naturally stronger than others. In addition, you are quite a Taoist protector. There are some things that you should not look at originally, but now The war is about to begin, so I don’t have to worry about so much as a teacher.”
With that said, Wei Xuanzang took out a piece of paper from the Taishang Laojun Vipassana Sutra on one side and handed it to Li Xuan.
There is a picture on the paper that is not completely dry. It can be clearly seen that it was clearly drawn by Wei Xuanzang himself not long ago.
He seemed to know that Li Xuan was coming, so he prepared this thing in advance.
On the rice paper, I, wearing a Taoist robe, came to a ferocious tiger.
I saw Lao Tzu and the tiger sitting side by side, seeming to be talking about something.
The full moon behind the saint is particularly eye-catching.
"This is the core "Picture of Laozi's Preaching" preserved by Qingyang Palace from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present." Wei Xuanzang said softly but solemnly: "Different from the vast majority of pictures of Laozi riding a bull and preaching, the "Picture of Laozi's Preaching" "In ", I gave up the cow and chose the tiger."
Li Xuan looked at the "Picture of Laozi's Preaching" in front of her with extremely serious eyes.
This picture seems to be Lao Tzu preaching about tigers, but is it really a tiger?
Among Taoists, Laozi's green ox is often compared to "the earth". Laozi preaches about the green ox because the earth is chosen to carry "good virtues" and "carry things".
"Did you see anything?" Wei Xuanzang asked Li Xuan.
Li Xuan thought about it and said: "The tiger is fierce and masculine, while I am soft and feminine. Use softness to bind hardness, use golden elixir to restrain the power of heaven and earth, nurture and assimilate, and transform and nurture the soul. This is the great way of heaven and earth."
"Your understanding is really terrifying." Wei Xuanzang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Even in Qingyang Palace, few people could express this kind of sentiment.
The key is that the "Picture of Laozi's Preaching" he passed on to Li Xuan today is just his own hand-copied version. It is completely different from the original version of "Picture of Laozi's Preaching" preserved in Qingyang Palace, but Li Xuan can still understand it. So far.
Taking a breath, Wei Xuanzang continued: "The key to Lao Tzu's teaching map is not the tiger or the human being, but the circle."
Wei Xuanzang's eyes fell on the circle behind Lao Jun. The circle had gradually moved the tiger away from behind Lao Jun, and most of the tiger's body had been integrated into the circle. His face showed a fierce look, but it was gradually calming down.
"This is neither the moon nor the sun, this is the great road." Wei Xuanzang looked at Li Xuan and whispered: "If you can gain some insights from it, then the way of inner alchemy has been passed."
"Thank you, Master." Li Xuan bowed to Wei Xuanzang solemnly. Master's doing so was already suspected of violating the sect's laws.
Non-core disciples in Qingyang Palace are not allowed to hear this stuff.
Fortunately, the one in front of Li Xuan was painted by Wei Xuanzang himself. There is no Yuan Qi on it. If you can understand it, you can understand it. If you don't understand it, you can't understand it.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Wei Xuanzang raised his hand slightly, and Li Xuan felt an irresistible force coming from the front, and then he was directly helped up.
Looking at Li Xuan, Wei Xuanzang said seriously: "What you practice is the remaining Tianhe True Dharma in the palace. You can practice it to the full level of the Mysterious Embryo Realm. Originally, it was not considered top-notch because there was no golden elixir inheritance, but the world has changed drastically. , If it doesn’t become the golden elixir, it will become the inner elixir. Everyone has to rub it on their own. If you have a good relationship with Buddhism, you can seek advice from the Knowledge-only Sect.”
Li Xuan looked at his teacher Wei Xuanzang and said with some surprise: "Master, aren't you worried that your disciples will be seduced by Buddhism?"
Wei Xuanzang looked at Li Xuan with a chuckle and asked softly: "Can you do it?"
"No." Li Xuan gave the answer directly without thinking at all.
Although Buddhism is good, it is not my hometown.
"Disciples respect and admire the Buddha, but if they don't want to become a Buddha, they can just be themselves." Li Xuan expressed his true intention in one sentence.
"Piaopiao seems to be independent from the world, transformed into immortality." Wei Xuanzang sighed softly and said: "Who in the Taoist sect is not like this."
Detachment, detachment, and detachment from the world are exactly what Tao seeks.
"Master, what is the attitude of the sect regarding the matter of conferring Buddhahood?" Li Xuan looked at Wei Xuanzang with a solemn expression.
Regarding the emperor's conferment of Buddhism, the attitudes of Qingyang Palace and Louguandao were very important. If they firmly opposed it, even the emperor would feel extremely embarrassed.
Wei Xuanzang shook his head directly and said: "As long as the Buddhist sect agrees, the Taoist sect has no objection, but there is only one thing, it must be to become a Buddha."
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the meaning of Wei Xuanzang's words. In fact, this was his own attitude.
"The Consciousness-Wei Sect should have no objection, but the Zen Sect is hard to say." Li Xuan's face became serious.
The Consciousness-Only Sect emphasizes that there is nothing else but consciousness, but the Zen Sect seeks Buddha-nature, seeks the Buddha-nature of all things, and seeks the Buddha-nature of all things. If all things are me, how can the Buddha-nature of all things come about.
Although the two are not incompatible, the essence of Buddhism is very different.
Wei Xuanzang shook his head and said: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, Buddhism is not that easy to compromise, and the emperor, his heart is not here now."
Li Xuan nodded slightly. This was destined to be a tug-of-war, but the longer it was delayed and the more it became known to the public, the more beneficial it would be to Li Xuan.
Buddhism was suppressed, but Empress Wu was the unlucky one.
"This is the Tianhe True Dharma that I have slightly modified based on my own practice. Zhenqi cultivation is the first. The key is the Dharma. The Tianhe Dharma is the Dharma. The Dharma is Tianhe. It is not easy!" Wei Xuanzang revised the "Tianhe Zhenfa" Edition, as well as a hand-painted version of "Laozi's Preaching Picture", were handed to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan knelt down again, held it in both hands, and took it seriously.
Finally, Wei Xuanzang looked at Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "The Demon Sect doesn't need to care about this Tubo battle, and the Buddhist Sect doesn't need to care either. The one who really needs to be careful is the Tubo Witch."
"Witch?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, why was there another Tubo beauty, but then, as if she had thought of something, Li Xuan said with a horrified expression: "Is the legend true?"
When Princess Wencheng married into Tibet, apart from bringing legal codes, craftsmen and medicine, few people knew that Princess Wencheng was a Tang princess who was good at courtship.
There is one story in particular, the story of Kanyu building a temple that is the most widely circulated.
Princess Wencheng traveled all over Tubo and finally wrote a memorial to Songtsen Gampo: "...the King of Tubo's land is on the body of the Rock Witch lying on her back. Therefore, the Rock Witch's arms, head, hips, elbows, knees and limbs, etc., are Temples need to be built one by one to suppress them, and even if they fail, iron pegs should be used. Wotang Lake is the work of the Rock Witch, and it is the door to the evil destiny, so it should be eliminated and temples built."
People in the Tang Dynasty regarded it as a myth, but now, if this statement is true according to what Wei Xuanzang said, then Tubo is likely to have created a new witch.
Or, it's the witch priest.
Once such a figure appears on the battlefield, it will definitely be an incomparable encouragement to the morale of the Tubo people.
It's really troublesome now.
