Reincarnation Disk: Living in Infinite Dimensions Simultaneously

Chapter 44
The Dachan Temple started a series of religious activities, chanting mantras.Then I started to tell a lot of legends about immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but I felt very boring.

I want to hear and confirm the truth, so you just listen to this?The ignorance of the people has caused superstition, which has deviated from the original intention of the Holy Emperor. As for this great Zen temple, which is so magnificent, it is considered a great good thing to be destroyed.

Seeing the so-called Zen master's speeches of wild hype, radiant tongue, rebirth, and all kinds of heresies, Ji Tian only felt sad.

Ji Tian observed the changes in the sincerity of everyone present, no matter when and where, there are actually Ji Tian's dojos to prove the truth, so Ji Tian can sit down peacefully.

"The so-called puja is to collect people's thoughts, refine and devour them, and practice to improve one's own Taoism." Ji Tian saw that the people under the preaching puja were constantly contributing their own thoughts because of their beliefs.

These monks, using the name of the Holy Emperor Yuan as a signboard, distorted the interpretation of Buddhism and Daoism of the Tathagata Taoist, and used superstition as a weapon to harvest the wealth and hearts of unreasonable people.

Ji Tian looked at the truth of the other side contained in the internal operation of the people's mind, even if it was a thought, there is also the truth of the other side inside, Ji Tian can verify it with his own wisdom.

I am already rearranging and understanding Taoism, and I have my own path.

It is to use one's own wisdom to discover the other-side characteristics of each thought, and then reflect one's own true heart, so that the other-side characteristics of each thought can be manifested, and finally the big ambition is to carry these thoughts that have been transformed into other-side thoughts.

The construction of Ji Tian's Taoism system is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people should continue to practice Taoism to improve their intelligence, to prove the sages and creators, and then to make great ambitions, absorb thoughts, and stabilize themselves.

But Ji Tian's system is reversed, first to prove the sage, and then rely on the means of proving the truth to transform this means into the so-called great ambition.

But in fact, Ji Tian didn't have the so-called making a wish in essence, he just said one side of the truth of the other side, as a proof of his own merit and wisdom, that's all.

Therefore, realizing the great wisdom, the true other side, and the great ambition are all one thing in essence, and they are consistent, and there is no need for those messy methods.

This system of Taoism concepts, Ji Tian called it... the Taoism of the other side, and the rest of the Taoism methods can be called outside Taoism.

'My other shore Taoism is quite difficult. If I am not a person with great aptitude, I will not even be able to take the first step.If I didn't have a great opportunity, it would be impossible to have the idea of ​​the other shore Taoism. '

Relying on his own theory, he is constantly extrapolating thoughts, and these thoughts are transformed into thoughts of the other side, and thrown into Ji Tian's wheel of wisdom.The wheel of wisdom has not manifested outside, it was originally a phenomenon existing in Ji Tian's heart.

The thoughts of the other side overlap with the wheel of wisdom, and the thoughts of the other side converge into a wheel, which rotates continuously, obliterating the sea of ​​delusion of oneself every moment.

'These thoughts of the other side are the proof of merit. '

The so-called merit is not a complicated thing.The interpretation of the merits and virtues of the Holy Emperor Yuan in this world is to discover one's own true thoughts, and then implement them as merits, and then derive the so-called killing and the implementation of kind thoughts, which are also merits.

In fact, in Ji Tian's view, this is a heretical method, and Sheng Huangyuan regards seeing nature as a fixed thing.

Because all thoughts are essentially thoughts of the other shore, there is no difference between good and bad, as long as you let your true heart manifest and turn your thoughts into thoughts of the other shore, it is a merit.

Therefore, equality is merit, and seeing one's nature is virtue.

To see the nature is to see the nature of the other shore, and everything is originally the other shore, so there is no nature to be seen.

Yuan talks about doing something, and Ji talks about doing nothing.

Although Ji Tian felt meaningless listening to the so-called Dharma conference, it was only by constantly perfecting his other side Taoism that it made Ji Tian feel happy and interesting. Is there anything happier in this world than practicing one's own ideals and interests? ?
Wang Zhen listened to it with gusto, because listening to these scriptures can constantly wash away his distracting thoughts and let his mind settle down, which is very beneficial to Taoism practice.

Wang Zhen has only one idea, that is to cultivate into the kind of carefree and carefree world where everything in the world is beyond me.

"Brother Ji, tell me, if everything can't interfere with you, how happy and happy it would be!"

Wang Zhen looked at the words of the Zen Master of the Great Chan Temple above, and couldn't help but sighed to Ji Tian, ​​the wind blowing and lifted his long gown, which was quite chic.

Ji Tian was originally obsessed with the construction of the Taoism of the other side, and was converting his original knowledge of Taoism into the Taoism of the other side.Suddenly I heard someone say something to me.

Hearing Wang Zhen's thoughts, Ji Tian thought deeply, and then replied:
"I don't think that's true great freedom and great freedom. I can bear everything and everything, and I can give up everything. This is the real great freedom."

"A gentleman should have the transformation of a dragon and a snake. In the sky, he can be a dragon soaring, flying clouds and spreading rain, and on the ground, he can also play happily in the mud as a snake. This is the gentleman's happiness! This is the happiest thing in the world. thing."

Hearing Ji Tian's words, Wang Zhenxin was shocked, feeling that he had heard such an indescribable idea, compared to what he thought of as free and happy, it seemed quite shallow.

I couldn't help asking: "I heard Brother Ji said that this truth is really unheard of before, but your truth seems to be in conflict with the idea of ​​the Holy Emperor and the philosophers that everyone is like a dragon."

"You have misunderstood the idea that everyone is like a dragon. The dragon represents change. It doesn't really make people like dragons. What you are talking about is actually the truth that a gentleman is not a weapon, but that you can do anything, and you don't have to. Restricted by anything." Ji Tian replied in this way, the true way is to transform the principles of the philosophers into his own.

From Ji Tian's point of view, people's nature is ever-changing, and they are like dragons. Dragon should be used as an adjective to describe people's inner virtues, not to make people's nature into dragons.

Everyone is naturally like a dragon, but the virtue of a dragon cannot be manifested.Only by understanding this truth can everyone be like a dragon. It is only possible to distort human nature if you do not understand this truth.

Wang Zhen pondered deeply, and when he heard Ji Tian's reasoning, he immediately felt that he had benefited a lot: "I just realized today that listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. It is really worthwhile."

Ji Tian looked at Wang Zhen from a very floating state to a very down-to-earth appearance.

Continue to turn your head and carefully construct your own Taoism on the other side.

An old monk at the top kept talking about various scenes of the Paradise and some truths about the Holy Emperor, but for Ji Tian, ​​it was of no use at all.

And at this moment, a rich man stood up from below, clasped his hands together and said to the old monk.

"Elder Yinhai, may I ask how to achieve Buddhahood?"

"There are three ways to become a Buddha, one is to practice Zen, the second is to realize Buddhist principles, and the third is to need merit." Yin Hai said with a smile.

"I also understand Zen meditation, and I am also familiar with Buddhist principles. May I ask what merit is?"

"There was a story about Zen Patriarch, the ancestor who opened the window in the Great Chan Temple. When the wind blows the flag, some people say it is the wind, and some say it is the wind."

"Zen Patriarch said that it is neither the wind nor the banner, but it is really the heart, so the merits are not external, but only in the heart." Yin Hai replied.

When the people below heard such words, they felt that they were worthy of being a great Zen master, and what they said was so reasonable.

"Then how to practice?"

"Just like mud can grow lotus flowers, we continue to cultivate the growth of lotus flowers in our hearts in the filth of the world, which is the practice of merit."

Wang Zhen felt that this reasoning simply explained the means of practicing Taoism, and it seemed that he had come to the right place for this ceremony.

Ji Tian treated it like air, but Wang Zhen said to Ji Tian: "Elder Yin Hai is indeed a great Zen master, Brother Ji, this principle is applicable to everything, whether it is studying, being an official, or practicing Taoism." .”

Ji Tian nodded, raised his eyes for a moment, and said, "This statement is only a superficial merit, not a real merit. It's like the waves of the sea forming a splash of water, where the illusion arises when the fate gathers, and the illusion disappears when the fate separates."

The voice was not loud, and Wang Zhen was suspicious again, so he only asked Ji Tian: "Brother Ji, what do you think?"

But at this moment, Yin Hai who was sitting on the high platform suddenly glanced at Ji Tian, ​​then looked at Ji Tian kindly, and then said:
"I don't know what laymen think about merit? I look at laymen because I really understand the principles of Buddhism. I don't know what I think about merit?"

Soon, many people in the entire Dharma Association looked directly at Ji Tian, ​​and being stared at by so many people, Ji Tian's face did not change:
"The so-called lotus flower is the practice of the heart, which can be called the creation of the heart, but isn't the sludge the manifestation of the human heart? The sludge is originally the creation of the human heart, and the sludge is also a merit."

"This? Why?" A young man asked Ji Tian.

"Sludge is the ashes of the human heart, and cultivating merit is to let go of the ashes of the human heart and use it as the merits of truth and kindness in the heart!" Yin Hai explained to Ji Tian.

"Excuse me, what is the difference between a piece of gold that is shaped into a golden Buddha and worshiped by people, and shaped into jewelry for decoration?" Ji Tian did not respond to Yin Hai, but asked his own question.

"The true nature of human beings is gold. The so-called sludge and lotus flowers are just the shaping of the true nature. They are all formed by the human heart. Therefore, if you want to abandon the sludge, it is like discarding a large piece of gold. It's because of Jin Zi's appearance, it's really not the work of a wise man." Ji Tian replied directly.

After Ji Tian finished speaking, Zen Master Yinhai's eyes opened slightly at this time, the light flickered, and then he lowered his eyes, as if everything was like a breeze blowing on his face.It's just that the speed of pinching the rosary in his hand is getting faster and faster.

"Then people also have evil thoughts, are those evil thoughts also flow out of human nature? If human evil thoughts are born, we have to follow them?" Someone asked from the bottom.

"People's evil thoughts are essentially the thoughts that emerge from human nature and are shaped by karma, just like gold being forged into a sharp knife in a furnace. It hurts others and hurts itself at the same time, but it is still gold." Ji Tian continued said:
"It is still our own thoughts. What we have to do is to use our minds for ourselves, forge whatever we want, and use it as we like. Instead of being trapped in a cocoon, let our minds damage our own nature."

"When you have evil thoughts, you should know that this is a deadly blade formed by my thoughts. It's just my own thoughts. You don't need to be controlled by them. You can also forge them into a weapon for yourself later." Ji Tian concluded.

"But your statement has something in common with what Zen Master Yinhai said. They both turn bad into good." Someone questioned.

Ji Tian sat upright, and then continued.

"The human mind is vast and boundless, just like the ocean. The so-called righteous thoughts and evil thoughts are just waves on the ocean. The so-called merit is essentially the ability to use to forge one's own soul."

"However, if we can understand that our true nature is inherently vast and boundless, so the merits and virtues are as boundless as the ocean, just waiting for us to use them."

"If you regard your own thoughts as your own nature, it's like trying to keep a wave on the ocean from dissipating. How can you have immeasurable merits and virtues? Even rare merits will dissipate! You can't help yourself if you follow the tide."

In fact, Ji Tian just described the truth of "true self" in another way, using the "Zen" of this world to describe the way of "true self".

"This..." The people below are all speechless. The more I think about it, the more I feel that what Ji Tian said is really incomparably mysterious. I already have boundless merit, but I don't understand it, so I can't use it. Ripples and waves are regarded as their own nature, which is really giving up the basics and chasing the last.

"The layman is really proficient in Zen theory. I don't know if the layman has the idea of ​​becoming a monk to practice Buddhism?" Zen Master Yinhai said to Ji Tian as if nothing had happened.

"Little gentleman, you really know a lot about Buddhism, can you explain the truth to me?" said the wealthy businessman who first asked Yin Hai about his philosophy of becoming a Buddha.

"I don't understand Buddhism at all, so I don't know how to reason. But in life, I have always been myself. Apart from being myself, the rest is delusional."

After all, proof is about the other shore, and the Taoism of the other shore is essentially for being yourself!
