"The Way of Heaven!" Chen Luo and Yun Siyao looked at each other.
Buddhism talks about reincarnation, which uses the six paths as a bridge. It is divided into three good realms: the divine realm, the human realm, and the Shura realm; and the three evil realms: the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm.
"My little friend, do you know about Buddhism?" Cui Shanque asked Chen Luo. Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.
If you are talking about "compassionate" Mahayana Buddhism, I understand it. If you are the Buddhist monk in the Western Region who is suspected of having his body taken away by demons, then I don't understand you.
Chen Luo shook his head slightly: "The seniors of Confucianism and Taoism and my senior brothers and sisters have protected me very well, and I don't have much contact with Buddhism."
Yun Siyao also interjected: "My junior brother's martial arts and Buddhism have some conflicting scriptures, so we did not explain it in detail to him."
Cui Shanque nodded: "My Cui family has done a lot of research on Buddhism since the Sixth Patriarch. To clarify the issue of these six masters, we have to start with Buddhism. It is overstepping our bounds."
When Cui Shanque said arrogance, he meant that since Chen Luo had a disciple, Zhu Lin should do this kind of guidance. Now he has to answer Chen Luo's questions in front of Yun Siyao, which is a bit disrespectful.
"It's a blessing for me to have senior Cui's guidance." Yun Siyao nodded in return, and the coercion power falling on Cui Youdu symbolically decreased a little.
Cui Youdu felt that he, the head of the Cui family, really had no face.
"Don't be fooled." Cui Shanque cleared his throat, "The cultivation of Buddhism is different from that of Confucianism and Taoism."
"The three realms of Buddhism: Vajra, Arhat, and Bodhisattva."
"Vajra is divided into nine levels of novice monks, eight levels of asceticism, and seven levels of enlightenment."
"When you are in the novice state, you are no different from ordinary people. You read Buddhist scriptures for the first time and realize the true meaning of reincarnation."
"In the state of asceticism, one must receive a precept from the guru, keep the precepts and travel far, and turn the precepts into the power of work, so that the magic can be effective."
"In the state of asceticism, to understand the essence of the precepts and to obtain the light of Bodhisattva's wisdom is to be enlightened."
Speaking of this, Cui Shanque smiled softly: "The first great realm, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism lead to the same goal through different paths. In fact, they all come from reading, understanding, and absorbing."
"When it comes to the second highest realm, the Arhat realm, there is a difference."
"The sixth-level thief-killing arhat kills the thief in the heart and removes the threads of troubles. This realm is the realm where the murderous intention of Buddhism is most evident. The troubles are internal, and if they cannot be killed, they will become inner demons; the troubles are external, and if they cannot be killed, they cannot be replaced. Take a step closer. If a Buddhist leaves the thief in his heart to the outside world, then he is not killing the thief, but killing a living being."
"The fifth-grade inanimate arhat, also called the arhat who dares to die, reaches this state, and Buddhist monks have to sense reincarnation. They almost have to seek death, and understand the mystery of reincarnation amidst the horror of life and death. Once they understand, they advance to the If you don't understand the next level, you can only continue to test on the edge of life and death until you truly die."
"Beyond the Inanimate Arhat, there are the fourth-level Arhats who should offer offerings. As the name suggests, offering offerings should be worshiped by others. Therefore, Buddhist cultivators of this level love to wander around in the human world. They use deceitful techniques and false kindness. False compassion seeks to establish a cause-and-effect connection with all living beings and absorb the mysterious power of spiritual light from all living beings. This power is called the power of vows internally in Buddhism, and is called incense to the outside world."
"The reason why Daxuan excludes Buddhas is because the cultivation of Arhats is too weird. It takes away the luck of human race and belongs to one person, which is too harmful to the world. At present, Daxuan still only allows ascetic Vajras to walk in Daxuan, and it is necessary for inanimate Arhats to enter Xuanxuan. Accept the control of Wenchang Pavilion, otherwise once discovered, he will be killed directly."
After talking about Arhat Realm, Cui Shanque paused obviously, as if he was considering his words. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"The third greatest realm of Buddhism is the Bodhisattva realm."
"This realm is equivalent to a great scholar from the Confucian sect and a Taoist lord from the Taoist sect."
"In the third-grade Dharma Realm, the will of the recipients condenses a golden body of Dharma."
"Buddhist scriptures have their own mysteries. The third-grade Bodhisattva can drive the Dharma into the underworld and infect a certain underworld with the true meaning of reincarnation. It is called the Pure Land. The Pure Land is independent of the rules of the underworld and becomes the place where the third-grade Bodhisattva can transform."
"But when the Dharma enters the underworld, it is always repelled by the underworld, which requires the power of aspiration to offset it. Therefore, today's Bodhisattva establishes a Buddhist kingdom on earth, in the final analysis, to provide support for the Dharma entering the underworld."
Cui Shanque looked at Chen Luo: "Don't underestimate the Buddhist Bodhisattva. What we see on weekdays are all physical Bodhisattvas, with their Dharma hidden in the underworld. Just when they are about to fight to the death, the Bodhisattva can recall the Dharma and merge them into one, and their strength will be increased by at least 30%. A strong one can even double his strength."
"Of course, if the Dharma is left in the underworld for too long or if too much power is used, the Pure Land will collapse. Therefore, a Bodhisattva will not use the Dharma easily until he has seen life and death."
"The Dharma images that usually appear behind the Bodhisattvas are just a little bit of aura condensation. They are just used by ordinary people to scare people."
After saying this, Chen Luo smiled softly.
This trick of making a mystery is very smooth.
Cui Shanque's expression became a little more solemn, and he continued: "By the time you reach the second level, Buddhism will truly have its meaning."
"The second-grade Bodhisattva is called the Three Body Realm."
"And three bodies? Past body, present body, and future body."
"We, the Confucian sect, talk about the long river of history, and the Taoist sect talks about the gates of many wonders, but when it comes to the way of time, the Buddhist Three Body Technique is the most mysterious."
"The three bodies are working hard in the past, present, and future. They are always in the past, always in the present, and always in the future, connecting a special passage of time."
"In the past it was wind, today it is rain, and tomorrow it is electricity."
"I was a flower in the past, a monster today, and a ghost tomorrow."
“In the past I was an animal, today I am a human being, and tomorrow I am a Buddha.”
"The mystery of life lies in the time channel established by these three bodies. They call this channel reincarnation!"
"All living beings who have received the Dharma will be led by reincarnation. After death, they will have a complete soul and enter the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom. They will then be reincarnated by the Buddha and become a member of the Buddha Kingdom on earth, and the cycle will continue. What you have gained through cultivation , return to Bodhisattva after death; and then a new life begins again.”
"Therefore, the longer reincarnation is established, the bigger the Buddha's kingdom will be, the more believers there will be, and the stronger the Bodhisattva will be!"
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, what a guy!
There are so many flaws in this, I don’t even know where to start.
Really, I will work for you in my next life!
Cui Shanque didn't notice the change in Chen Luo's expression and continued: "When reincarnation is established, you have reached the first-level reincarnation realm."
"Among the Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist first-class, the Confucian first-class has the most tricks, the Taoist first-class is the most hateful, and the Buddhist first-class is the hardest to kill!"
"To kill the first-grade Bodhisattva, we must completely destroy the Buddha's kingdom in the underworld. But an attack from the sky to the underworld will have to be reduced. Therefore, most of the first-grade Bodhisattvas are sealed off, which is really not possible..."
Cui Shanque spoke righteously: "Please ask the saint to take action!"
Chen Luo was puzzled: "If a saint strikes a first-class weapon, can Buddhism recognize it?"
Cui Youdu curled his lips and said: "My saint is attacking the underworld. Who asked his Buddhist sect to put the pure land under the attack of the holy power. At worst, he will be punished with three drinks of wine, why not do it next time!"
"The Buddhist sect didn't share the map with the Confucian sect. It's normal for him to miss the mark occasionally!"
Chen Luo looked at Cui Youdu, listening to what you said was better than studying for ten years.
Makes sense!
Cui Shanque frowned slightly: "Nonsense!"
"Is my Confucian half-sage so unreasonable?"
After saying that, Cui Shanque added lightly: "The Confucian sect's half-sage will naturally not take action against the first grade, but if he does, we, the Confucian sect, will definitely investigate to the end!"
"It's just that the power of the semi-saint is too strong, and it can't be found out without a few thousand years."
"Once discovered, you will have to drink three drinks as a penalty. This will not happen again!"
Chen Luoshen thought so.
The heart of Confucianism·Colorful black!
…
"Senior Cui, I heard from the teacher that the Six Path Masters are made from six first-grade reincarnation realm Bodhisattvas?" Yun Siyao asked.
Cui Shanque nodded: "This is true!"
"Above the first rank, the Buddhists call him the Great Bodhisattva. His Dharma appearance is the image of the Wrathful Ming King. In the Buddhist realm, he is also called the Ming King. His rank is the same as that of the Semi-Saint and Taoist Master."
"During the war between Confucianism and Buddhism, there was a great Bodhisattva in Buddhism, named the 'Great Bodhisattva of the Six Paths'. I don't know what he understood from the ancient Buddhist scriptures. He refined his six first-grade disciples and refined the six pure lands into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. .”
"He also wiped out the consciousness of the six disciples and refined their bodies into six puppets. This is the origin of the Six Path Masters!"
"This incident caused an uproar at first, and was later banned by Buddhist orders. Since then, the location of the Bodhisattva's Pure Land has become the most private practice in Buddhism, and the guru is not allowed to interfere."
"With a teacher like this, life would be worse than death!" Yun Siyao said lightly.
Cui Shanque nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "After the Buddhist talk, it's time to talk about the relationship with my Cui family."
Cui Youdu closed his eyes.
Cui Shanque's first sentence was earth-shattering: "My Cui family has a problem, and we can no longer raise half-saints."
Chen Luo and Yun Siyao both frowned slightly. This kind of thing should be the core secret of a family.
"This is not a secret!" Cui Shanque laughed at himself, "Basically all the half-saints know it."
"How is that possible?" Chen Luo was puzzled, "I looked through the records and found that the Cui family has produced a total of six Half-Saints!"
"But at that time, the Cui family had a point!" Cui Shanque smiled bitterly, "Times have changed, and the world has changed."
"There is a saying in "The Great Learning": It is new every day, new every day, and new again every day. Principles are never static. As the world changes, principles must continue to move forward."
"New principles correct old principles, new knowledge overthrows old knowledge, and new ideas defeat old ideas. This is the reason why the human race is moving forward."
"But our Cui family has been stuck in our ways for too long!"
"No, all big families have this problem. Look at those big families that were already glorious during the Human Dynasty, and a few of them are still prosperous today."
"In the old days, the king's swallow flew into the homes of ordinary people!"
Chen Luo nodded, roughly understanding what Cui Shanque meant.
"Actually, the Sixth Patriarch had already discovered the Cui family's problems. The Cui family's family education was outdated!"
"No matter how brilliant the book is, the world is already very different. The truth is not favored by heaven, and the direction has been wrong from the beginning. What can we use to establish the Confucian heart and the world, and to make Confucian saints?"
"When the Sixth Patriarch was here, changes were made. The Cui family's children were free to study and become teachers. At the same time, the Cui family's masters also reorganized the Cui family's family traditions!"
"But, it's too late. There is something wrong with the core principles of the family tradition. The so-called rearrangement is almost to reestablish the family tradition."
"At this moment, the Confucian-Buddhist war broke out!"
Chen Luo couldn't help but interjected: "Cui Sheng is eyeing the Six Paths of Buddhism?"
"Buddhism has been a Buddhist for thousands of years!" Cui Shanque explained, "The outside world also uses this as a dividing point when it is said that the demons seize the body. Before the Buddhism was sealed, Buddhism followed the ancient Buddhist principles. After the Buddhism was sealed, Buddhism is what it is today. "
"No one knows what the ancient Buddhist teachings actually look like. But one thing is certain, the ancient Buddhist teachings, Confucianism and Taoism are the same as the three great ways to reach heaven, and there must be something superior about them."
"It is said that the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Great Bodhisattva of the Six Paths was gained by studying the fragments of ancient Buddhist scriptures that he accidentally obtained. The Sixth Patriarch left behind a desire to obtain 'stones from other mountains'."
"The war broke out, and the Sixth Patriarch directly found the Sixth Path Master. The outside world said that the Sixth Patriarch blocked the Sixth Patriarch for a quarter of an hour, but in fact the Sixth Patriarch studied the Sixth Patriarch for a quarter of an hour."
"It's just..." At this point, Cui Shanque sighed, "Buddhism and Confucianism are different, so it doesn't offer any inspiration."
"The Sixth Patriarch had selfish motives."
"If the Cui family does not have a half-saint for a long time in the future, then if we can refine a puppet that is comparable to the Master of Six Paths, it will also increase the family's heritage."
"Out of this idea, the Sixth Patriarch destroyed the Six Paths Masters, but secretly preserved the relics of the most powerful of the Six Paths Lords, the Heavenly Man!"
"My Cui family has begun the study of relics that lasts for thousands of years."
Yun Siyao frowned slightly, as if he had guessed the result.
"Have your Cui family fallen into a trap?"
Cui Shanque sighed: "As I said before, the first-grade Bodhisattva is the hardest to kill!"
"What's more, he is a great Bodhisattva of extraordinary quality!"
"The Great Bodhisattva of the Six Paths left behind a trace of the true meaning of reincarnation, which is hidden in the relics of heaven and humanity."
"I, wake it up!"
