Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 79

Garning Manor.

It's nearly noon.

Lu Feng was sitting in the bathtub. No one was around him. He lived alone in a corner. Lu Feng did not need anyone to wait around him. He liked to be alone, maybe because of his ten-year career as a Buddhist monk. He feels that having time alone is a very luxurious and comfortable thing.

This may be regarded as a kind of "self-attachment", but Lu Feng has not used his mind to smash these "self-attachments". He has not yet reached the level where the six sense organs are not contaminated and remains clean everywhere, and he is far from reaching the level of emptiness and selflessness. To this extent, Lu Feng is still far away from his secret self, and cannot achieve the appearance of no self and no beings.

In the past few days, many attendant monks have also noticed this and will not disturb Lu Feng's solitude.

White Pearl didn't go back either. She knelt down in front of the statue of Tara and prayed in her heart.

Logically speaking, she should go to deliver butter tea and hot highland barley wine to Master Ganing at this moment, but she remembered the words of Steward Saridun, and she did not dare to disobey Steward Saridun, so she could only wait here. Why, she also had a great fear of the watchtower where the eldest lady was.

dare not face it.

The words of Steward Saridun are like the scriptures engraved on the prayer flags outside the Ganing Manor. They are unchangeable Buddhist proverbs. He said hanging the serfs outside to die in the sun means hanging the serfs outside. If he dies in the sun, no one can stop him, not even the eldest lady.

The eldest lady complained more than once to the "born secretary" and "born servant of the Ganing family" in the manor, but every time, Master Ganing said with a smile: "Ask these people under me to do it. Well, the cowherds know how to raise cows, and Sardon also knows how to deal with these lazy things."

Of course, the eldest lady is not feeling pity, she just feels noisy - before a person is about to die, the sour smell and the smell of death will attract the vultures from the other side of the mountain. They will not eat living people, but will just keep flapping around. Ah flutter, hovering in the sky, like dark clouds about to rain, waiting for the dead to take their last breath.

Before that, they would not speak.

The master is kind. He will give the serfs half a bowl of butter tea on many days worthy of celebration. However, there is no doubt that as the chief steward, Saridun has no choice but to be merciful. He is the whip in the hands of Master Ganing. If they don't move, then those chabas and leaders won't move either.

White Pearl was afraid of Saridun, just like she was afraid of the current eldest lady and master. She was shivering like a cold little lamb. If it were normal, the other two masters - Monk Zhiyuan and Monk Zhi'an would have been there long ago. Will accept such a donation, but now, the two monks have no such idea, especially after hearing what Yongzhen said - the two just silently prepared the offerings, and how many days can they delay? If they can Everyone is naturally happy to see Elder Mingli come back. A big family like the Ganing family will also be very serious about the alms given by monks like them.

But if Elder Mingli cannot come back, then one or two of them will be killed by the devil. Thinking of this, Monk Zhiyuan silently took out a piece of Coptis chinensis and stuffed it into his sleeve. Monk Zhi'an looked at it. He glanced at it and said nothing more.

Because he also stuffed some offerings into his sleeves to please King Mingzhu. As disciplinary monks, they are different from Lu Feng. Lu Feng just became a red monk this year, but they , it has been some time since they became red monks. Besides, they know very well that people who are protected by Bodhisattva do not need to worry about them.As for the "person blessed by the Bodhisattva", Lu Feng finally took a bath and was clean. When his "body" and "mind" were completely empty and clear, he put on his clothes and took a look outside to see how high the sun was. He made sure that it had not reached the agreed limit. At that time, Lu Feng began today's practice.

He wiped his feet, crossed his legs and straightened his back, and sat in front of the big bathing bucket. Lu Feng was not following the path of an ascetic yogi.

Logically speaking, if he could see the monk next to the spring today, he might think that the ascetic monk living in a hermitage is an ascetic yogi. Lu Feng does not pursue physical suffering and mental purity. After enlightenment, Lu Feng only needs to move forward one by one.

The master has already taught him the path forward clearly. Lu Feng continued on, using the "clumsy fire" to generate great happiness, and then "the pulse generates the four joys", "achieving the bliss of emptiness and non-duality", and attained the supreme Only with the great liberation can we achieve the perfection of Mahamudra.

However, the great happiness that follows must be achieved after practicing the great perfection of the body and simultaneously with the great perfection of the mind. It cannot be more than the bliss and emptiness of the Rudraksha Maha Mudra. It is not "cultivated only by practicing the mudra." Generally speaking, "Walking Mudra" requires practical practice to gain compassion and wisdom. His method of practicing Mahamudra is the same as "Vow Mudra" and "Dharma Mudra". It only requires relying on the mudra to enter the realm of desire, happiness, and harmony. Based on the non-dual principle of emptiness and happiness, one can obtain great liberation through the Mahamudra method, without the need for the wisdom of the Dakini in reality.

Lu Feng is far away from this kind of practice at the moment. However, through his secret deity practice, he can see the Fudo Ming Wang Zun and obtain the non-dual nature of his dharma. As the level goes up, Lu Feng may be able to realize the nature of void and understand nature. There is no need to worry about being deceived by illusions during practice, and with the blessing of the wisdom fire and ancient scrolls in his body, Lu Feng has already entered samadhi by sitting down.

This method can also be seen as very special - even the many great monks in red cannot be so peaceful and calm all the time, so they need all kinds of visualization assistance, those who speak intensively, those who are separated from words, and those whose minds are in turmoil. , soothe the heart, all kinds of delusional thoughts, return to the original self, and those with filthy hearts, see the original heart again, tie the mental ape, and rein in the will horse.

Lu Feng didn't use it. There was an ancient scroll here, which rekindled the fire of wisdom. He stopped sitting down and entered into meditation. He practiced the Fudo Ming King mantra, opened the door of wisdom with the rhyme of great compassion, and increased his wisdom with the fire of compassion. , and use wisdom to cultivate compassion, which is rich in the body's clumsy fire, penetrates the central channel, and uses the great liberation power contained in the body to help oneself achieve great liberation.

At the enlightenment point, various illusions appeared again, but Lu Feng ignored them. Whether it was the Vajra Hell, the appearance of the Bodhisattva himself, or the appearance of the angry king of Ming Lord, who wanted to turn him into powder, Lu Feng was just like this. If he doesn't move, can't see the five-color light, he can't reach perfection. He doesn't believe in any illusions. Before he reaches the realm of the deity, just like a saying Lu Feng often heard when he was studying, "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

The same is true in practice. You cannot achieve the sixteen types of emptiness and the eighteen types of emptiness. The dharma nature is Vajra non-dual, and you can achieve great wisdom, Vajra, and great compassion. The bodhicitta must be wiped away every moment without any trace of it. Sloth, which is why he now bathes every morning, is also the reason why so many monks need to keep the precepts.

They all use external factors to constantly remind themselves of what they are doing, just in case.Before entering meditation, Lu Feng specially called the others to wake him up at the height of the sun.

If you only seek to perfect the power of water, also known as the "water element", you can enter the fire without being burned. If your body is clean and soft, you can enter the next fire element. If you achieve the "fire element", you can enter the water without drowning. However, after Lu Feng entered trance, he kept hearing calls coming from his side. They were deep and far away, tugging at his true nature. Lu Feng had to use the fire of wisdom to cut off this connection at any time.

Every time it was cut off, this strange and mysterious aura became thinner and thinner.
