That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1083 Listening to Buddhism in the Bodhi Court

From the Yulan Basin Festival on July [-]th to the ancestral court of Buddhism, it is now the end of July. Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan have been staying in Buddhism for half a month. The outside situation changes day by day. I can't sit still, I have been thinking in my heart for the past few days, whether to put aside the matter of Buddhism for the time being, and send Xiao Zhinan back to the imperial capital first, after all, comprehension of Buddhist scriptures is enlightenment everywhere, but Xiao Zhinan, the princess regent, still stays in the imperial capital It is more appropriate in the city.

Xu Beiyou once mentioned this matter to Xiao Zhinan, but Xiao Zhinan rejected the proposal. She said that there are Han Xuan and Xie Suqing sitting in the imperial capital now, so there won't be any big troubles. On the contrary, Xu Beiyou's injuries are too serious to be delayed. I hope that my husband will be killed by someone else one day, so Xu Beiyou's recovery is the top priority.

In addition, Xiao Zhinan is also a bit of a woman who is not easy to talk to others. She also wants to take advantage of this time to stay with Xu Beiyou's side more. After all, the husband and wife get together less often and leave more. Now that we part, we don't know when we will meet again. up.

Now that Xiao Zhinan has said so, Xu Beiyou is naturally a follower of kindness. In addition to asking Qiuyue for advice on the subtle meaning of Buddhism every day, he will also compete with the other six heads in terms of cultivation. This cannot be said that Xu Beiyou is taking advantage of Buddhism, after all he It is the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, and the suzerain of Jianzong, who can also be regarded as a generation of masters. Based on mutual verification, it can only be said that each has its own benefits.

Today, Xu Beiyou is going to listen to the first lecture in the Bodhi Court.

The Bodhi Courtyard is located in a secluded ancient temple, today there are no Buddhist disciples, only the head of the Bodhi Courtyard and Xu Beiyou.

The two sat facing each other. The first seater in the Bodhi Court didn't seem to be confused about his age, and he looked elegant. He didn't look like a Buddhist, but a teacher in a secular private school. He placed a scripture in front of him, and pressed his palm on the side of the scripture. On the cover, it said slowly: "At that time, the master of Molun Temple, Qiu Si, lived in the temple temporarily. Combining the Great Nikon of Molun Temple and the Vajra Sutra of this temple, he compiled this Vajra Realm Rituals together with the abbot and brother."

"The so-called Buddha has three bodies, the dharmakaya, the sambhogakaya, and the incarnation body. The dharmakaya Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. The sambhogakaya Buddha is Vajrasattva Buddha. The incarnation Buddha is Vairocana Buddha. The incarnation of Luchana Buddha is also the Great Sun Tathagata. Therefore, the Great Sun Sutra is the fundamental sutra of Tantric Buddhism. If Master Xu wants to seek supernatural powers, he can choose this Vajra Realm Ritual. If he wants to seek Zen, he must choose Find it in the Great Nikko and the Diamond Sutra."

Xu Beiyou didn't comment.

The head of the Bodhi Court continued: "What is the Dharma? To put it simply, the Dharma is what the Buddha said."

"What is a Buddha? It is not a clay puppet sitting on an altar, but a Buddha in the heart, and Buddhas are everywhere in the world, so the Buddha is not in the west, but in the heart.

"The Zen sect sums up this Buddha in the heart into a Zen word. As the saying goes, shutting your mouth is Zen, facing the wall is Zen, seeking is Zen, drinking sticks is Zen, joy is Zen, and not moving is also Zen."

"There will naturally be Zen in the words of the Buddha."

These words had a lot of meaning when I first heard them, but after thinking about them carefully, I found that they were empty and boring, and they were suspected of being clichés.

Regardless of Xu Beiyou's feelings, the first seat of the Bodhi Court turned over the rituals of the Vajra Realm in front of him and began to formally lecture on the scriptures.

"Thus I heard: For a while, Bhagavan lived in the Tathagata's vast Vajra Dharma Realm Palace, and all the Vajra holders gathered together. The Tathagata explained the game and transformed into a great jewel king, high without a middle edge, all great wonderful jewel kings, all kinds of decorations, The body of the Bodhisattva is the seat of the teacher."

The expression on Xu Beiyou's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at the head of the Bodhi Court.

Because the head of the Bodhi Court hadn't opened his mouth yet, the voice had already imprinted into Xu Beiyou's heart.

If Xu Beiyou's guess is not wrong, this should be his mental power among the six great supernatural powers of Buddhism.

Now that he has already used all the means of mental communication, it seems that this lecture is going to be serious?
According to legend, when the Buddha taught the Dharma, there were golden lotuses gushing from the ground, and flowers falling from the sky in some places. If you are lucky enough to hear the Dharma, there are not many people who have enlightenment.

"Bai Buddha said: 'World Honored One! How come the Tathagata, who deserves offerings, is omniscient and omniscient? Performs and distributes for countless living beings, and proclaims omniscient wisdom according to various destinies, desires, and expedient ways? Or voice Hearing the way of the vehicle, or the way of enlightenment, or the way of the Mahayana, or the way of five-pass wisdom, or wishing to be born in the sky, or being born in a dragon, a yaksha, and a gandharva, or even talking about giving birth to Mahoraga?'”

The old monk still didn't open his mouth, but used his mind-opening method to directly imprint his own perception of the scriptures into Xu Beiyou's heart, especially the part that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words, and it can retain six parts of the old monk's perception.

Xu Beiyou let go of the sea of ​​consciousness, closed his eyes and felt it quietly.

At this time, in Xu Beiyou's Sea of ​​Consciousness in the Purple Mansion, there was a vaguely shaped Buddha, with a Buddha's brilliance, the voice of preaching echoed endlessly, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses gushed from the ground.

Rao Xu Beiyou's realm is higher than the first seat of the Bodhi Courtyard, and seeing such a scene makes waves in his heart.

Then there were constant voices resounding in Xu Beiyou's heart.

"Buddha has six supernatural powers, which are called supernatural powers, other minds, celestial eyes, celestial ears, fate and pain, and exhaustion. Supernatural powers, that is, the ability to be free and unobstructed, and to show up at will. Celestial eyes can see the joys and sorrows of life and death. The appearance, and seeing all kinds of forms in the world, without hindrance. Heavenly ears can hear the language of suffering, joy, sorrow and joy of all living beings, and all kinds of voices in the world. His heart is clear, and he can know what is thinking in the hearts of living beings. Can know the fate of millions of lives and the things done by the sentient beings of the six realms. They can cut off all the three realms of seeing, thinking and confusion, and not be subject to life and death in the three realms, so they can completely drain the power of supernatural powers.”

"The so-called six supernatural powers were not taught by the Buddha, but were first created by Zhuang Zu of Taoism. Zhuang Zu said in "Human World", 'A man's ears and eyes can understand internally, but he can know externally. Ghosts and gods will give up in the future, let alone humans?' Later, it was passed down to Baozhu and turned into his own use, and became the current Liu Shentong."

"As the so-called Buddha is the Tao, Buddhism has Joy Zen, Taoism has magic in the room, Buddhism has other minds, Taoism has mind reading skills, Buddhism can observe fate and reincarnation, and Taoism has divination to see the secrets of heaven."

"Therefore, there are also six supernatural powers in Taoism, Ruyi, Tianyan, Guangwen, Mind Reading, Soldiers, and Leaks. The Taoism's leaks are completely connected. They are said to be immortal, free and easy in the world, and they are also the genus of gods. Qiu Ye has exhausted his supernatural powers."

Xu Beiyou looked focused.

A book of Vajra Realm Rituals, word by word, Bodhi Court first narrates in eloquence, which is also mixed with various Taoist scriptures and Buddhist teachings, and even the teachings of Xuanjiao and Confucianism, and the Buddha in Xu Beiyou's sea of ​​knowledge is becoming more and more clear.

In the end, the radiance was overwhelming, and the Buddha's light was like a sea, illuminating his entire heart. Xu Beiyou was slightly contemptuous at first, but after the first lecture in the Bodhi Court, he put away all contempt and treated it sincerely, and then Sincerely thank you.

Before leaving, the head of the Bodhi Court took off a string of Bodhi number beads from his wrist, and put them on Xu Beiyou's wrist.

The bodhi seed has lost its original golden color and turned into a pure white color without any impurities. It can be said that it is so sincere that gold and stone can be opened. It is undoubtedly a precious thing that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Xu Beiyou wore this string of number beads and left the Bodhi Courtyard, and then stared at the extremely precious string of Bodhi seeds. He had a faint thought in his heart, if he forged a golden body of Buddha Dharma, and then cut it with a sword to destroy this golden body, then he would That is, if you don't break or stand, stand after breaking, and cut yourself with a sword, your swordsmanship will be improved to a higher level, almost comparable to the ancestor Shangguan Xianchen back then.
