The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 298 Renovating the Zen Temple and Comprehending Consciousness Only

About seven days later, at the west end of the Jingnian Temple, which was verdant with pines and cypresses, a majestic hall engraved with "Abbot's Courtyard" was built on the edge of the cliff, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

In the second entrance courtyard of the abbot's courtyard, Liaokong Jiejia, who was dressed in a gray monk's robe, sat down and stared at the stack of Taoist scriptures with a completely different temperament from this place in front of him. The first page of the volume.

Not far from the hall, Zhao Qing glanced at the eminent monk who was trying to learn Taoism, waved his hand, and instantly closed dozens of volumes of Buddhist scriptures around him, flying up and stacking them together. Xuanzang, who was standing on the top, took it in his hand, and flipped through the marked key points.

On a wooden table placed in the center of the hall, He's Bi is continuously emitting a faint light, and under the guidance of some unimaginable power, it concentrates on the direction where Zhao Qing and Xuanzang are. , but did not cause adverse effects that interfere with people's spirit and internal strength, and appear stable and peaceful.

A few days ago, with Zhao Qing's permission, Fan Qinghui followed Ning Daoqi and left the Jingnian Temple with a disheartened expression, preparing to return to Cihang Jingzhai, and invited the Seven Great Masters of Buddhism and Taoism as the master of Jingzhai, and then Three months later, they gathered in the Buddhist monastery to hold a battle of Taoism that would affect the future of Buddhism.

Although he didn't have the guts to confront Zhao Qing again, since Jing Zhai was established, it has been the holy land of Bai Dao martial arts in the world, and it is impossible to surrender to others just because Fan Qinghui failed as the first Zhai master.

Unlike Cihang Jingzhai, which is located deep in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and almost no one knows the exact location, since the Jingnian Temple was able to establish a temple on the outskirts of Luoyang, and it has survived several dynasties, it is quite resilient. without the "sense of responsibility" of devoting one's life to Buddhism.

After the entire Buddhist monastery was completely defeated by Zhao Qing alone, Liao Kong knew that there was no way he could do anything to her, and because of the flaws in his heart, he chose to give up resistance and took the "Jing Nian" hidden in the secret room of the abbot's courtyard. The Book of Zen was handed over.

At the same time, he ordered all the monks in the monastery to treat Zhao Qing as normal no matter what they saw doing in the monastery. Study the homework of Taoist classics.

For monks who truly believe in Buddhism and have a certain level of Buddhist practice, Zhao Qing does not deprive them of the idea of ​​freedom of belief. One of the more disgusting things about Buddhism is that there are good and bad in it, and there are a lot of bad things in it. , Fake monks who become monks only to earn money from tax exemption;
However, in her view, by increasing screening efforts, excluding fake monks and people with little wisdom from monkhood, canceling preferential policies for these people, and only retaining the title of "layman" with no practical meaning, basically it will be possible. Solved the problem of Buddhism.

Under normal circumstances, in ancient times, if you wanted to become a monk, you had to go through a strict examination. You had to read the Four Books and Five Classics, take an examination held by the government, and recite and interpret the scriptures. Thus strictly controlling the number of monks.

For example, a year and a half ago, Chen Yi stood out from the crowd of adults in the selection examination for monks in Luoyang, where there were only [-] places for monks, and was chosen by the chief examiner, Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shanguo.

When Zheng Shanguo asked him why he wanted to become a monk at such a young age, Chen Yi replied: "I want to teach the Tathagata far away, but to pass down the Dharma near the light." This sentence means: "I want to inherit the mantle of the Tathagata and carry it forward."

Zheng Shanguo saw that although he was young, he had great ambitions, so he not only admitted him out of the ordinary, but also gave him a good name-Xuanzang.Entering Buddhism is called "Xuan", and the horse of a thousand li is called "Zang". Xuanzang means a thousand-mile horse in Buddhism.

Nowadays, Buddhism is very powerful, and there are many monks, hundreds of thousands of them. It is entirely because Yang Jian, who believes in Buddhism, is trying his best to promote Buddhism. Confucianism, abolishing the central and local schools, let the status and influence of Buddhism completely override all schools.

In the period of Yang Guang, although Buddhism was also supported, a large number of Buddha statues were cast, repaired, and Buddhist scriptures were refurbished, but due to the large-scale construction and the three conquests of Korea, it was necessary to conscript military service and corvee service, so restrictions were taken on monks. Far more than ten times that of Yang Jian, a unified examination was organized, and a large number of monks without virtue and karma were ordered to return to secular life.

The prosperity of the buildings like Jingnian Temple is actually the result of Yang Jian and Yang Guang's two generations buying Buddhist scriptures and translations from this famous Buddhist temple, the Zenyuan, with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels.

However, although Yang Guang once received precepts from Master Wisdom of the Tiantai School and treated Master Jiaxiang of Sanlun Zong with respect, in the turbulent and chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism has decisively cut off from the Sui Dynasty, and has the idea of ​​​​changing the emperor, which is also very emotional.

It is worth mentioning that in the ninth year of Daye two years ago, in order to unify the names of temples all over the country, Yang Guang ordered to change the name of the temples in the world to Daochang.Therefore, if Zhao Qing wants to change Jingzhai and Chanyuan to "Taozong", it can be regarded as having theoretical support and limited opposition. After hearing this, Ning Daoqi feels that it is not impossible to succeed.

While she was temporarily sitting in the Jingnian Temple, Liao Kong began to practice both Buddhism and Taoism with some helplessness, and studied Taoist classics, as a model for the monks in the temple;

As for Zhao Qing herself, while reading the Buddhist and martial arts classics accumulated by the Jingnian Temple for hundreds of years, she selected the essential points and circled them, so that Xuanzang, who joined her disciple, could learn by herself.

Due to the deep foundation of the Zen Academy, the number of classics in its collection far exceeds that of Laojunguan, a demon sect, and Zhao Qing's grasp of Buddhist theories is not as good as that of Taoism. It was almost to the extreme, and it took seven days and seven nights to study it.

After all, Jingnian Temple has experienced more than ten generations of abbots since Tianseng was founded. Although there are very few great masters, there have been nearly a hundred master-level masters, each with certain original ideas, which can be called first-class Buddhist martial arts innumerable;

If it weren't for Zhao Qing's mental cultivation to reach the peak below the "no degree" level, and his proficiency in the "Wanxiang Haoxu Gong" that can imitate martial arts and the "Arhat's Demon Subduing Gong" that combines the great achievements of Buddhism's internal energy, it would be difficult for him to win In a short period of time, I mastered them and completed the first eleven chapters of the twelve chapters "Jing Nian Zen Book".

Speaking of which, Jing Nian Chanyuan has a very in-depth study of mind and consciousness, and focuses on the integration of mind and Buddha nature. The effect of Yuanshen is similar to the "immortal fetus" cultivated in "Cihang Sword Code";

With the fundamental purpose of "returning all thoughts to one thought, turning one thought into no thought", purify all distracting thoughts in the heart, so as to manifest one's own Buddha nature and explore the mystery of truth.

After absorbing a lot of the essence of the "Bi Shan Sword Jue" leaked by Fan Qinghui and many martial arts in the Buddhist monastery, Zhao Qing gradually mastered the "Yi Jin Jing", "Shen Zu Jing", "Arhat's Fu Mo Gong", "Supreme Yoga Esoteric Vehicle" "Jing Nian Zen Book" and other Buddhist advanced martial arts are integrated into one;
Taking the Arhat Fumo Kungfu, which is the most similar to Taoism and equivalent to the Buddhist version of the Little Wuxiang Kungfu, as the starting point, it is connected to the improved version of Mingyu Kungfu and Xiaoyao Yufeng, which she is currently majoring in, although the increase in strength is not too large , but the foundation is a few points more solid.

During this process, Zhao Qing has also been studying the Heshibi in hand, and found that the strange power emanating from this jade is strong when it is strong, and weak when it is weak. In fact, another part of the reason is due to the frequency of radiation difference.

According to Wu Zhao's theory of "fluctuation of all things" obtained by Wu Zhao's comprehension of "the great method of cultivating demons in the heart of the Tao" in "Dragon War in the Wild", everything in the world, every plant and every tree, and thousands of classes can be regarded as various energy fluctuations.

The true qi of ordinary martial arts practitioners also fluctuates, while the innate qi is a higher level and subtle fluctuation, because it can be combined with the human spirit.

Then He's Bi's supernatural power has a huge impact on the master's true energy and spirit, it should be because there is a certain level of fit in the frequency of fluctuations, and it occupies a high-level guiding position.

Starting from this aspect, Zhao Qing tried to change the fluctuation frequency of the alien force in his newly created field. After thousands of adjustments, it finally affected the emission of the alien force of Heshibi in turn, and achieved what no one has been able to do in the past and present. It has been fully grasped, making it obediently turned into a practice auxiliary treasure that continuously generates rich vitality of heaven and earth.

……

In the history of Buddhism, the patriarchs interpreted the Dharma according to different ideas, from the shallow to the deep, from the rough to the fine. There are also many internal differences of thought, and many different sects have been formed.

Blindly conceived from Dharma-nature, those who advocate truth and Buddha-nature as the origin of the world are called Dharma-nature sects. It is generally believed that Huayan, Sanlun, Tiantai, Zen, etc., which are the sects to which the four great monks belong, all belong to Xingxing. Zong, the source of thought comes from Nagarjuna Madhyamaka.

Conceived from the differences of all phases, analyzed the dharma, and demonstrated that all dharmas are only consciousness. took a different path from other denominations;
Among them, the subtle and mysterious are profound and unrecognizable, and the difficulty of practice is obviously higher than the former. Only people with great wisdom and wisdom can understand them thoroughly.In Zhao Qing's view, it should be the school closest to the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. At least, what she practices is the pure method of mind.

When Xuanzang was alive, relying on his prestige and influence, the Weishi sect became the most dazzling and prominent branch among the major sects of Buddhism in China, eclipsing the Dharma-nature sects, but after his death , After only a few generations, it declined to the point of extinction, because the difficulty of cultivation was too high.

Although Xuanzang is the founder of the Consciousness-Only Sect of Faxiang, Consciousness-Only Studies in China had already developed before him, such as the "Earth Theory" in the north and the "Photography Theory" in the South, but there were some contradictions and confusion Where it is, it is not systematic.

Like the school of Jingnian Chanyuan, which is similar to the unity of Consciousness-only Studies and Zen Studies, it has actually been regarded as a master of this in the world. It has confirmed and studied the six Mahayana classics on which Consciousness-only Studies are based. The Guangfo Huayan Sutra, the Tathagata Appears Merit Sutra, the Mahayana Abhidharma Sutra, the Langa Sutra, and the Thick Adornment Sutra, focusing on the most fundamental and important one, the Unraveling the Deep Secret Sutra , has improved and enhanced the "Jing Nian Zen Book" passed down by the heavenly monks in the past.

Naturally, there are contradictions and conflicts between different schools of Buddhism. Although they are not obvious, they do exist.Even in the same sect, Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen Buddhism, has been hunted down by his senior brother Shenxiu for many years, let alone in different sects?
The Sanlun Sect, Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, and Zen Sect, where the four great monks belong, are currently in a relatively friendly alliance, and they vaguely reject the "Earth Theory School" and "She Lun School".

When Xuanzang was young, he taught eminent monks in Luoyang City, and he established his own research direction on Buddhism early on. He paid attention to the "Ten Land Sutras" of the "Earth Theory School" and the "Photography Mahayana Theory" of the "School of Photography". The degree of recognition of the four great monks is not high.

And after reporting to Master Huijing, the abbot of Jingtu Temple, and Elder Changjie, and joining Zhao Qing's school to study, he got the opportunity to study many Buddhist scriptures and Zen skills that have similarities with the schools he created in the future, and Zhao Qing was there along the way. With the guidance of the Buddhist scriptures, the cultivation base of the Buddhist school is advancing rapidly, and there is a tendency to study all the classics and integrate them.

Although the cultivation talent is not as extraordinary as that of Zhao Qing, it is estimated that it is only at the level of Shi Feixuan and Wan Wan, and was delayed a lot by the second-rate exercises of Luoyang Jingtu Temple, but the understanding of Buddhist theory, Inference and conclusion, Xuanzang's talent is still higher than that of Zhao Qing.

With his acquired cultivation base that the two lines of the governor and governor did not communicate with each other, he came up with many thought-provoking novel insights, which benefited Zhao Qing, whose cultivation base was far beyond Xuanzang's several levels.And in the debate, he was able to keep pace with Liao Kong, completely suppressing the top four Dharma protectors in the monastery.

In addition to Kong Kong and the Four Great Vajras, the person with the most advanced Zen martial arts is a monk named "Du Jie", who should be the next generation abbot of the Zen monastery under normal circumstances. Master, currently in his 20s, has already entered the level of super master.

Regardless of the uniqueness of the exercises, Cihang Jingzhai, who has just practiced with elders who have changed the tendons and washed the marrow, because the Buddhist and Taoist exercises are usually slow in the early stage, and they pay attention to accumulation and accumulation. In the entire Buddhist sect, Dujie can be regarded as an outstanding genius.

But with Zhao Qing's guidance, Xuanzang, who entered the innate first-class grade within a few days after initially practicing her new fusion of Buddhism and Taoism, is not at the same level at all. The title of Xuanzang, which was half of him, was replaced by the honorific title of senior brother.

Even knowing that children are the least persistent, so they are easy to get enlightened, and their understanding of Buddhism often improves quickly, Zhao Qing is quite amazed, and feels that it is indeed a correct move for him to choose such an outstanding genius.

In "Consciousness-Only Theory", everything in the universe is the image of the shaking of the mind. The inner and outer worlds, matter and non-material, are all changed by the mind.

However, for Zhao Qing, no matter how perfect your Madhyamaka and Yoga theories of Buddhism are, they don’t fit well with real problems, and their practical significance is not as good as Taoism’s vitality theory, which is suppressed at the application level and needs to be absorbed from here. Perfect the theory.

Although in this era, Zhao Qing integrated his own cultivation into the "Yuanqi Theory" by virtue of the combination of his own practice and modern science's understanding of the origin of the world and the astronomical phenomena of the universe. ;

But as far as the understanding of the nature of the universe is concerned, no matter whether the mind is a special kind of vitality that generates all things, or that the vitality is originally an image produced by the mind, and all dharmas are only consciousness, or according to the superstring theory and supergravity of modern science, Theories and so on, Zhao Qing thinks it is possible.

And judging from the fact that both Buddhist and Taoist theories can gain practical results in practice, she doubts that these theories are just one and multi-faceted, which belong to the limitation of cognition, and have different perspectives, similar to that light is both a wave and a particle, and has a certain variety .

And "mind", "vital energy", "superstring" and so on can all be covered by the word "Tao".

Constantly studying the methods of cultivation such as mind and consciousness from a comprehensive perspective, Zhao Qingyin had a hunch that under the condition of continuing to understand advanced Buddhist martial arts, it might not take much time for him to cultivate the past world, which initially involves the eighth consciousness. , Entering a field that is truly beyond imagination in terms of Buddhist cultivation, you can start to try some wonderful ideas that were untestable in the past.

In the next step, her goal is naturally to go to Yangzhou to find Ssangyong Kouzhong, Xu Ziling, and the "Longevity Secret" in their hands; The Wisdom Sutra on the Root of All Laws".
