Wandao long distance

Chapter 1052 Acknowledgement of All Living Beings

"You will eat both me and the devil." said Amitabha.

When these words were spoken, Li Qi was dumbfounded.

  What to eat

No, sir, Li Qi just wanted to dig out a piece of flesh from the demon, but Amitabha wanted Li Qi to eat the demon and himself.

Does he really want Li Qi to ascend to the first rank?

"Oh my God, you are... asking too much. I can't do it."

"If you can't do it, you will have to die. You have no choice now." said Amitabha.

"No..." Li Qi wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up.

He could only sigh, and then asked Amitabha: "So, why? Do you think that if you don't die, sentient beings can't become Buddhas? Do you have the same view as the Tathagata?"

"Yes, it's not that I think so, but that's how it is. The key here is not that sentient beings are stupid, but because, whether it is the devil or the Buddha, what they pursue is the 'heart'." Amitabha said.

Li Qi had nothing to refute on this point.

Buddha and the devil are consistent in a sense.

They all believe that the world can essentially be interpreted by the heart, the only difference is how you perceive the world's heart.

The devil believes that only one's own heart is real, and other people's hearts are fake.

Buddhism, on the other hand, acknowledges the existence of other "hearts" and believes that all people's hearts can interpret the world, and that the communication and connection between hearts constitute this material world.

This is the so-called theory of "cause and effect".

Everyone's heart is a causal point. Because of the movement of time, this point naturally becomes a "line". These lines intersect with each other, and these intersections become all things in this world.

This intersection can be called "fate".

The fundamental view of Buddhism is "Dependent Origination and Emptiness of Nature", which means that everything in this world is born out of cause and condition. Because of cause and condition, there are all the things you see, hear and feel, and there are rules that can be observed, summarized and thought about. This rule is called "Dharma" by the Buddha.

When we talk about Buddhism, Buddhism, we are actually talking about this "Dharma".

In the Buddhist view, rules themselves can only be "Dharma", but cannot reach the level of "Tao". The real "Tao" is actually the "hearts" of countless people. These hearts constitute the network of cause and effect itself, and then "dependent origination", which develops into the entire world.

The world is determined by the "hearts" of all living beings. It is the hearts of all living beings that combine together to shape all objective existence.

Although this view is fundamentally the same as the magic path, there is a huge difference in their specific applications.

Although the material world itself is interpreted by the mind,... there is more than one mind in the world, and there are also sentient beings in the world.

And now, Amitabha has realized that the compassion of "taking care of oneself" will eventually affect the hearts of all living beings.

Perhaps, Buddha should not have existed in the first place.

There should not be such a thing as Buddha in the hearts of sentient beings.

"So, Li Qi, you have never believed that the mind is real, and you do not recognize the existence of Buddha, right?" Amitabha said, "If so, this is your chance."

He clasped his hands together and said, "Eat my Pure Land of Bliss, offset the influence of the Heavenly Demon, and negate the path of evil."

"If that's the case, I will veto even Buddha. Besides, I may not succeed, but you will definitely die." Li Qi's tone was a little solemn.

“Isn’t it good to deny Buddha? When all sentient beings are enlightened, they will all be Buddhas. There will never be a real need for Buddha.” Amitabha stated his purpose.

It would be best to reject Buddha.

Amitabha thinks this is best.

Therefore, he dismissed the Pure Land of Bliss, rejected the greatest achievement of the supernatural power lineage, and even hoped that Li Qi would completely reject the dispute between Buddha and demon by eating him and the demon.

All living beings can save themselves, they do not need Buddha to save them.

Whether there is Buddha or not is actually not important.

Whether one is enlightened or not is the great cause of awakening the world.

Li Qi looked at the Amitabha Buddha in front of him and seemed to be able to feel the other party's thoughts.

Time is running out, and Amitabha's last bit of power is about to fade away.

Li Qi let out a long sigh.

  Who could have thought things would develop to this point?

But since things have come to this, I can only risk my life.

"I can't guarantee success. Although this is a first-class opportunity, the success rate is too low. I think it's risky. The success rate is not even one in ten thousand." Li Qi said: "But...even so, I can only try. I just want to ask, Buddha, is a one in ten thousand chance worth risking your life?"

"The lineage of supernatural powers is wrong. Guanyin, me, Ksitigarbha, and all the practitioners who hope to save sentient beings through supernatural powers are all wrong. Since they are wrong, they must change."

After saying this, Amitabha closed his eyes, and the last bit of his strength dissipated, turning into a force to offset the devil.

Li Qi watched with his own eyes as a first-rank official gave up his power and passed away.

Although it is always said that those who pursue the Tao only hope to see their Tao be proven, it does not matter even if it is falsified, at least they can reach the end of the Tao.

Taking the wrong path is also an answer. In the ancient times when the nine-grade grading system had not yet appeared, countless people took the wrong path. But taking the wrong path sets a mark for the correct path.

That being said...but seeing a first-rank official actually prove that a certain path was wrong and then pass away shocked Li Qi deeply.

Yipin took the wrong path, so he died contentedly.

He is of the first rank.

However, at this time, it was just like being an ordinary seeker.

So, how many people are like this in the entire space and time?

How many Taoists did Li Qi see?

Even if it was the second-level memory, when I started to recall it at this moment, the data felt a bit huge.

Jingyan who took the wrong path without realizing it.

He believes that the Buddhist and Demonic lineage is the right path and despises Zen monks of other sects.

Li Lieqi, who firmly believes in humanity.

Zhu Fengdan hesitates between the destiny of the gods and the way of witchcraft.

Wang Dun believed that the great way did not exist, so he supported the way of reason.

The oil industry encountered "No. 1". Although he didn't know what "Tao" was, he was determined to protect his own world.

For the sake of family affection, he gave up his true Yang lead.

The two brothers Liu Canzhi and Liu Junyi.

The Imperial Academy Chancellor who targeted Li Qi for the sake of his school.

The Holy Emperor of the Holy Flame Realm used his last bit of martial arts will to strike at the Green Mountain God with his sword. His final sigh was, "I have long lost my blood and courage. All that is left is some 'inability to let go'."

There is also Gaga, and the Green Mountain God who tries to rule the Holy Flame Realm.

The self-righteous trumpet creeper god, and the seemingly vicious but very sensible Iron Begonia.

The clam people under the rule of the dragon.

Cooking sea pot.

Geniuses such as the Demon Prince and the Little Heavenly Master, and even Li Qi’s demonic clone.

The down-to-earth mountain god Niuhuang and his son-in-law Shitou. Qiu Zhi who died in the battle between man and witch.

The homeless people who choose to fight against humanity.

An old horse who died of old age because of his laziness in practicing.

The eldest lady Ling Xiao who painted a portrait for Li Qi.

Chang You walks alone in the fairyland and opens the gate of heaven.

Suetaki's home planet was invaded.

Those upside-down little creatures in the Yaowanchi Realm.

Xiao Chan, Bai Di, Zhang You of Baiyue, and Zhang You's grandfather, Zhang Lan of Zhengjian Palace, died in battle for their righteousness and did not break through to the seventh rank.

Cocoon, the god who was killed by his own followers.

Rach.

A bird with a broken heart.

Liu Zheng who refused to accept his past life.

To this day, he still doesn’t know whether he is Sun Wukong, Liu Er Mihou, or just a golden monkey with a strand of monkey hair.

So many. So many.

  How many people are there?

How many different civilizations are there in the world? How many different possibilities are there?

The universe is like the night sky, all living beings are like stars, the starry sky is incomparably clear and deep, the galaxy across the sky, and the endless twinkling stars constitute the magnificent picture we see.

Occasionally, a meteor would pass by, leaving a moment of brilliance in the sky.

Amitabha is such a shooting star now.

Then, Li Qi took a deep breath and growled in a suppressed voice: "Demon... There is definitely more than one star like you in this world."

Yes, the magic way is wrong.

The devil must be wrong.

Because Li Qi witnessed with his own eyes the sky full of stars and the galaxy composed of all living beings.

He saw the moment when the brightest meteor streaked across the sky.

That was the light of the first grade falling.

Tianmo is definitely not the only real person in this world.

All living beings, including mortals and powerful ones, are important elements that make up this world. This world is neither determined solely by the material world nor by the mind of a single individual.

There is no ultimate way in this world.

There is no ultimate determiner who can explain everything, and fate generally determines all things.

The fate of things is determined by oneself.

The development of the world is the result of the mutual interference of all living beings.

All things, all living beings, everything, you contribute a little and I contribute a little.

You change a little, I change a little, and thus, this world is born.

Therefore, higher wisdom itself, the "heart" of all beings itself, is a component of objective reality, which transcends subjective consciousness itself.

This is true for all paths.

Therefore, there is no ontology.

So, there is no ultimate.

Therefore, nothing can replace sentient beings themselves, and nothing can replace the countless higher wisdoms.

Man cannot represent Heaven, because man and Heaven are both elements of the world.

The ultimate ideal pursued by the spiritual path does not exist; everything has its own form of unfolding.

There is no perfection in natural evolution, and the ultimate creature that can adapt to everything does not exist at all.

The "nature" pursued by witchcraft is applicable, because nature is all of this, and the existence of all of this is natural.

The Taoist concept of freedom is too abstract and has no possibility of realization.

The monsters' "changes" are too narrow. Although they acknowledge all objective existences, they are unwilling to acknowledge all objective things constituted by subjectivity.

The gods, especially Haotian, did a good job. What Haotian wanted was a world composed of all living beings. This world was an objective world composed of different subjectivities, which was similar to the answer Li Qi got.

The devil wants to deny all this. The devil does not want a world made up of all living beings. He wants to decide everything according to his own will. Everything is the devil himself. The devil is the end of everything and the answer to everything.

Li Qi would not accept such an answer.

Among the nine lands of the world, when Li Qi saw Amitabha Buddha pass away, he seemed to have realized his own answer.

Yes, from the very beginning, Li Qi wanted to acknowledge the existence of all living beings.

But if one wants to acknowledge the existence of all living beings, one cannot escape the two points of the objective basis of the material world and subjective cognition. Moreover, one must have sufficient understanding of the objective basis of the material world.

In other words, you must explore science and mathematics to a certain level before you have enough foundation to support your objective exploration of the world, otherwise it is just nonsense.

If you don’t understand this world, how can you explore its specific structure?

You must first know what is happening in the world, confirm what is happening, and have a certain degree of understanding of this objective world before you can judge the relationship between them.

This process of understanding the world is generally regarded by all beings as an exploration of truth and an improvement in science, and this improvement is reflected in technology, which is the improvement of science and technology and techniques.

The exploration of subjective cognition touches upon another level, which is about how your own "heart" perceives the world and how you interpret what you see objectively.

When the subjective and objective are unified, the "Tao" emerges.

Li Qi's exploration of science, technology, and magic has surpassed most mortals. This is the power of "technology". He has already understood the formulas that mortals cannot understand, and he has already mastered the technologies that mortals cannot control.

After having a foundation of understanding the real world, he gradually stepped into the inner world and began to explore the position of his own subjective will and the subjective will of all beings in objective reality.

Now, after witnessing the demise of Amitabha Buddha and absorbing part of the flesh of the devil, Li Qi felt that it was time to truly acknowledge all living beings.

It is time to acknowledge the answer to the mutual influence between the subjective will of all beings in this world and the objective reality.

Just as Li Qi once realized.

My own subjectivity is other people's objectivity, and other people's subjective will is, in my opinion, an objective fact.

All living beings draw a line and perceive their own time subjectively, which constitutes the objective time and space of the external world. Both parties obtain their own relative time from their own relative perspectives.

All the basic units in the universe are individual 'realities' frozen in time. Each 'reality' is an indivisible basic unit, containing different possibilities for the history of the universe. By arranging the 'realities' one by one, you will see the activities of all the 'realities' in the universe, which is to describe the history of the universe, the present of the universe, and the future of the universe.

The location and moment of these "realities", every change they produce, will give birth to the complete universe seen by all living beings.

  So, how do we acknowledge all living beings?

Very simple.

Li Qi can only transcend subjective time and space...

Obviously, he couldn't do it.
