Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 479 Hat
"The Great Buddha of Wuxia" naturally knew clearly what he was doing and what the consequences would be.

Until the "obsession" is fulfilled, no matter what happens in the future, it can not stop the footsteps of "Wuxia Buddha".

Even if the "Dharma King" of the current "Lotus Qin Zao Fa Temple" appeared, he could not help but drive away the "obsession demon" of "Wuxia Big Buddha" without saying a word.

After all, he is the "obsession demon"!

The entire "Kangyur" hall is under the control of "Great Buddha Wuxia". He can only stop after he has completed this "handover ceremony"!
Unless the "Dharma King" of "Zhaju Ben Temple" with the title of "Prostration to the Great Wisdom", "Jider Supreme Hutuktu" personally takes action and subdues the "obsession demon" of this "Uxia Great Buddha".

It’s a pity that from beginning to end, this “King of Dharma” had no intention of taking action!
……

Three days later.

The sun rises again.

The rising sun gave the entire Jidel grassland some heat. When half a palm's width of sunlight squeezed in from the window and pressed on Garang Riba's feet, Garang Riba looked down at his feet and woke up Lu Feng.
"The time has come, 'Yongzhen'.

Come with me.

The Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable is waiting for you there, and when the time comes, he will give you the precepts.

Before that, you must remember what I told you, without missing anything.

Remember, remember.

Take it seriously, take it seriously. "

According to Lu Feng's understanding of this monk over the past few days, this monk was talking too much at this moment.

Zhi Lufeng still thanked the monk as he was told.

There is no need to remind the monks to keep their bodies clean by bathing.

After all, Lu Feng is a monk who is "pure" in body and has a "pure mind".

These past few days, after looking at the "Mandala", he has been telling himself to "have a righteous mind and righteous thoughts" and to attain "right enlightenment".

What Lu Feng needs to do now is to maintain his "pure mind" and wait for the end of the entire "ritual".

After listening to Garan Riba's words, Lu Feng finally opened his eyes. His whole gaze was without any light or darkness.

Business as usual.

Seeing this, Garang Riba nodded slightly, not hiding his admiration for "Yong Zhen". He got up from the ground, and the two of them did not need to eat. Garang Riba took Lu Feng out of this room and came to the front of the hall.

Originally, it was a hall for copying scriptures, but now, no one was there. The monks had all gone out, leaving behind only a lot of "gauze" hanging in various places throughout the hall, fluttering in the wind.

Standing outside and looking at it, there is a natural sense of beauty.

It gave people a feeling of "not being in the secret realm". Lu Feng had never seen such a scene before.

He stood outside and gave a heartfelt exclamation.

This kind of scenery is not rare from Lu Feng's point of view.

Before Lu Feng came to the "Secret Law Realm", he had seen countless scenes that were even more "strange" than this. What he admired at this moment was the "rare scenery in the Secret Law Realm".

Whether in the temple of "Abu Quzhou" or in the homes of the few chieftains that Lu Feng had visited, Lu Feng had never seen such "gauze".

Such "fine yarn" falls here and floats in the wind, and it is red, white and blue.

Some colors may blend together and transform into other colors, appearing empty.

Arriving here, Garang Riba was unwilling to go in.

Before leaving, he stroked Lu Feng's head and blessed him.

It turned out that he should not have said a word at this time.

But he was not the real "Galang Riba" after all, his full name was "Galang Riba Obsession Demon". So he still opened his mouth and said: "'Yongzhen', do you still remember what I looked like when you saw me?"

Lu Feng turned around and saw Garang Riba, and saw Garang Riba making a gesture of holding a "butter lamp".

Lu Feng did not speak, but he understood. When Garang Riba did this, he reminded Lu Feng of the empty-colored "Samantabhadra Tathagata" he had seen. So he meant that Lu Feng should also be the "Tathagata, the eternal and unchanging Tathagata" in it.

"Yongzhen knows."

After paying his respects to Garang Ripa, Lu Feng walked into the room with great vigor. As soon as he took his first step inside, he suddenly felt a sense of "peace".

Logically, these fine yarns hung here can only create a "hazy" partition feeling.

But at this moment, they actually played the role of "yin and yang dividing the day and night".

This kind of "cutting".

What is "cut apart" is not only space, but also time.

Their appearance "divided" this place into a separate time and space, which is somewhat similar to the "charnel ground" that Lu Feng saw in terms of space and time!
It is enough to show that during these three days, not only Lu Feng had no rest, but I am afraid that the "Lion Vajra Guardian" also had no rest.

Walking in here, collecting his mind, Lu Feng went deep into this "mandala".

Immediately, a mysterious feeling clouded his heart, making Lu Feng unable to tell what age or where he was for a moment.

People are going to be "lost" here.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lu Feng immediately recited the Buddhist mantra silently and fixed himself here! As still as a mountain, until Lu Feng repeatedly questioned his heart and thought clearly about the confusion just now, he continued to walk!
Just now, Lu Feng "realized it too late" and almost "lost his true self"!
In other words, he was lost in the basic questions of "Who am I", "Where am I", and "Where am I going". Before he found the master in this "mandala", Lu Feng was already in danger. If he lost his "self" and "true self" here, even if Lu Feng died of exhaustion here, he would not be able to see the "Lion Vajra Guardian" he was looking for!
He will get lost in this "mandala", like the headless "shaman" behind the "Endless White Pagoda Temple", circling there until his death.

In this "scattered" feeling of time and space, Lu Feng was able to see "nature" and maintain his "true self". After waking up several times, Lu Feng followed this place and came to the main hall. His eyes passed through three or two curtains and saw the "Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable" sitting cross-legged there.

He just sat there like this, with his eyes slightly opened and closed. Beside him was a case, on which were all kinds of Buddhist instruments. At his feet was a yellow hat.

Seeing Lu Feng coming in, he pointed at the hat on the ground with his long nails, motioning Lu Feng to come over and put it on.

Lu Feng passed through the curtains and came in front of the "Lion Vajra Guardian".

Seeing this venerable monk sitting in the “lion-like posture” with the “Abhaya Mudra” in his gesture, his eyes were like those of a guardian lion, gazing at him indifferently, looking down at him.

In front of this "Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable", there was a faint smell of ghee mixed with some "corpse stench".

The smells are strangely combined, indistinguishable from each other, giving people a feeling of being unable to tell whether it is "fragrant" or "stinky"!

"Put it on."

"The Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable" repeated.

Lu Feng reached out to take the hat, but felt that he almost sprained his waist.

It was as if he was trying to pull up a mountain from the ground. Unfortunately, this mountain range was crisscrossed underground. If he wanted to pull up this mountain, he would have to pull up the entire ground from the ground, but this was absolutely impossible!

The Han people had a saying when telling stories to describe a person's great strength: "I hate that the sky has no handle and I hate that the earth has no ring."

That is to say, once there is a ring on the ground, a strong person can lift it up with one hand.

Even though Lu Feng now fits the description of the "Buddha on the Ground" by the storyteller, there is no way he can lift it up. And as his strength increases, Lu Feng knows that this is not a matter of his own strength.

This is a "wisdom" thing.

It’s because I’m not “wise” enough that I can’t pick up the hat and put it on my head!

People who are too stupid cannot grasp power.

After waiting for Lu Feng to wake up, he did not stop what he was doing. During this period, the "Lion Vajra Protector" just watched the scene without trying to dissuade him, nor did he make any movement or make any sound to disturb Lu Feng.

He just watched Lu Feng do this, and watched the hat move slightly. It was not until Lu Feng felt that he was sweating all over that he signaled Lu Feng to stop.

Lu Feng let go.

Know where things come from.

Neither his "sexual power" nor his "Tathagatagarbha" can lift this thing. On this thing, there are traces of "precepts", or in other words, this hat is the representation of "precepts" itself. At this moment, Lu Feng is not qualified to pick it up.

This is a test.

Obviously, Lu Feng failed the test.

The mouth of "Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable" moved slightly again, and Lu Feng put his hands together and worshiped this venerable.

But he was not discouraged.

It is just like a monk giving Buddhist scriptures to herdsmen. If the monks are just empty talkers, talking about emptiness, and talking about self, courage, and vajra, then those people will not understand, so how can it be effective?

Even many of the "headmen" who are considered to be "able to speak" by the monks cannot understand overly complicated words.

At this time, if you don't use metaphors when speaking, the listener won't understand what the other person is saying or what the meaning is. But if you add metaphors that are common in daily life, many listeners will understand things that they have never seen or heard before.

The same applies to monks of different levels.

If you cannot do what the Buddha did in preaching, where one Dharma means ten thousand words, then there is no problem in doing it this way.

Just like Lu Feng, he knew at this moment that this color of hat used to represent the Vinaya monks. The hats worn by the Vinaya monks were yellow hats.

Therefore, at this moment, this thing has gone a step further and become the "discipline" itself.

Lu Feng cannot lift the hat and put it on his head, which means that Lu Feng is not qualified to be a "discipline monk". He has not learned enough about the "disciplines". This has nothing to do with his own study of the "disciplines" or the "noble academy" in a temple.

He could hold an "iron rod" in his hand and punish those "monks studying scriptures" in the temple using the temple's "precepts".

However, his cultivation of "discipline" still has not reached the level of "entering the hall".

At least in the eyes of the "Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable", it is a situation of "entering the house".

"Put it down! Pray again."

The "Lion Vajra Protector" said, asking Lu Feng to pay great respects to him and to follow the words of his master. At this time, it did not seem like an "ordination" but more like an "initiation" by the "master deity"!
And taking a look at the magic weapon next to him, Lu Feng realized that his guess was correct.

Therefore,
Lu Feng understood why Garang Riba acted like that.

This cannot be blamed on Lu Feng. Some things can only be passed on to the "original master". Other people, no matter how close they are, will not pass on certain things.

Lu Feng’s problem was that his “original master” and “secret master” did not give him any caring education.

As a result, Lu Feng lacked knowledge about the complete "initiation" and "ordination", and was like "seeing flowers in the fog and the moon in the water"!
Although Lu Feng had given the "ordination" to his disciple "Cedan Lunzhu", it was only the ordination of a novice monk, which could be given without the need for "initiation"!
The exoteric and esoteric teachings go hand in hand, and monks can be ordained while practicing the scriptures of the exoteric school.

But it is obvious that the precepts at this time are not the same as the later precepts.

really,

“The Lion Vajra Guardian Venerable” continued to speak.

Solved Lu Feng’s doubts.

He was signaling for the "ritual" to continue.

At this point, there is actually no turning back.

In a time when there was not even a flash of lightning, Lu Feng had already figured out what had happened, and then he began to pay homage to this "master".

Lu Feng was well aware of the shortcomings of his practice.

The current “stage” of practice is no longer in line with the “power of the mantra”, so his “initiation” is different from that of ordinary people.

His route of movement is actually more like that of the "Dharma Guardian Vajra" around the "Big Buddha"!
Among the two “main masters” who gave him “initiation”, the one with whom he practiced most diligently was “Old Monk Akang”!
Only the sect and lineage of the old monk Akang attaches so much importance to "precepts" as the later "Ashadapan Hutuktu" sect - the sect that taught Lu Feng the "Mahamudra"!
However, Lu Feng's "precepts" were given by "Elder Mingli". Finally, "Elder Mingli" turned into "Ashadapan Hutuktu" - also known as the "First Dharma Master". However, Lu Feng did not ask his "original master" to continue the "initiation", so he could not receive the "precepts" and could not make progress.

——At this moment, Lu Feng was not willing to think carefully about whether the "Mingli Elder" gave him these "precepts" on his own initiative, or whether he had been influenced by "Ashada Pan Hutuktu" and was given these "precepts" and was told not to study but to find "Ashada Pan Hutuktu" to continue the "initiation".

——At this time, "precepts" have been combined with "initiation", and there is no distinction between the two.

Lu Feng had never had this idea before.

No matter what happened on his side, Lu Feng never thought about looking for his "original master" again. His "original master" seemed to have discovered something, and did not come to influence "Yong Zhen" or "provoke Yong Zhen". Up to now, the two of them have been living in peace and without "harassing" each other. Unfortunately, at this moment, Lu Feng found that he had avoided one but not the other.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind.

There's nowhere to escape!
