Under one person: If I let you refine your Qi, will you become an immortal?!

Chapter 295: Xilin Temple has not seen Buddha for a thousand years, but today Buddha sees me?!
"Senior, you are serious."

Li Muxuan took the book. He didn't think he could surpass others in less than ten years.

After all, means are no different from other things.

It’s about adaptability.

For example, when Junior Brother Lu Jin learns the third level of Reverse Rebirth and learns the Tang Sect’s methods, the progress is completely different.

Wu Gensheng, who was standing by, had a strange look in his eyes when he heard this. He didn't understand why Bu Ran said that. Was he too serious? Or was 'within ten years' a little too serious? It would only take a few months or days to master it.

After all, the title of the Immortal Lord of All Laws is not for nothing. He possesses all laws and understands all laws!
Between thoughts.

The voice of Donglin Abbot Daoshun rang out.

"It's not that important at all. This method is much easier to master than the Three Reversal Methods of your Sanyi Sect."

“It’s just that it’s easy to learn but difficult to master.”

At this point, Abbot Daoshun continued, "As the saying goes, supernatural powers are not as powerful as karma, and karma is not as powerful as vows."

“Even if one has supreme supernatural powers, it is difficult to escape the bondage of karma. Only by making a sincere wish can one offset karma and be free from the torment of karma for eternity.”

"And all the methods used in the world emphasize supernatural powers and downplay the power of will."

"If you think you have great means, you can ignore cause and effect."

"Little do they know that they are still subject to the law of cause and effect. It is only when the time has not come that they can use their strength to commit crimes."

Hearing this, Li Muxuan did not answer. The theory of cause and effect is actually based on the time system. Everything you have experienced in the past will naturally become the cause of today. After all, human beings themselves are made up of countless pasts.

However, good deeds do not necessarily lead to good results, and bad deeds do not necessarily lead to bad results, which is related to good and evil, and reincarnation.

It's just to warn the world.

Between thoughts.

Daoshun felt a little disappointed when he saw that Li Muxuan and the other man were not interested in the theory of cause and effect and karma.

However, he did not hold out much hope for bringing them in, so he continued, "The power of vows refers to the power of karma created by one's wishes, which can also be seen as the power of will."

“Most people live their whole lives without knowing why they were born or why they die.”

"Confused and depressed."

As he said this, Daoshun sighed and said, “Although alcohol, sex, money and anger can do great harm to people, if you focus on pursuing these things.”

"For humans, this life is a happy one, but people seek wealth only for windfall, seek sex only for carnal desire, and seek energy only for a moment of good mood."

"When faced with a small setback, they become devastated, lose their will, and blame others."

"It is said that life and death are determined by fate, and success and failure are determined by heaven."

“But if one is determined, sees difficulties and obstacles as sharpening, and does not forget what he wants even when he is in a low point, such a person may not ultimately achieve success in the eyes of the world, but for him, his life is worthwhile.”

After he finished speaking, Li Muxuan nodded in agreement.

Also understand what vow power is.

In fact, to put it in Taoist terms, it is a person's desire to seek the truth.

In Confucian terms, it means to follow one's conscience and to integrate knowledge and action; in modern terms, it means faith and to strive all one's life to realize one's wishes.

Immediately, Li Muxuan said, "Is this the reason why the ancient sages constructed the theory of rebirth in the Pure Land?"

"Create a desired goal for all living beings."

"exactly."

There was a strange flash in Daoshun's eyes.

I didn't expect that someone of his age could actually see this. He is truly a rare talent.

However, according to past experience, the more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to be affected by the obstacles to perception and knowledge. They think they have seen through everything, so they believe in nothing and fear nothing, and naturally it is impossible for them to make sincere vows.

Of course, there is another type of person who does something even though they know it is impossible.

Is there really a pure land of bliss in this world?

No one has seen it anyway.

But many times, it doesn’t matter whether it exists or not, or whether it can be achieved. What matters is whether you do it or not.

Just as he was thinking, Kong Ming beside him said, "Don't talk about cause and effect. The so-called external power and willpower are actually self-power. It all depends on whether your faith is sincere. The booklet I just gave you records sixteen visualization pictures and the essence of practice."

"You two can look through it."

"Thank you, senior."

Li Muxuan nodded in response.

Afterwards, he and Wu Gensheng got together and opened the booklet that had been given to them before.

The first page shows a huge sun, shaped like a hanging drum, shining brightly. Although it is just drawn on paper, it gives people a feeling of majesty that shines all over the world and is so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at it.

The second page is a peaceful and calm well.

That's when.

Kong Ming explained: "Sun contemplation is the foundation of this method. It means being upright and bright, and using the light to drive away distracting thoughts. Water contemplation is about purity. When you first see the Pure Land, everything is water. Then you think of ice, and you see the ice reflecting light, turning into glass."

"We will repair the ground temple later."

"Visualize that below there is a Vajra Seven Treasures Golden Banner supporting a lapis lazuli ground, and on the ground there are golden ropes interlaced and interwoven."

"Then there is the contemplation of the precious trees. There are seven rows of trees in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, all with flowers and leaves of the seven precious stones. The flowers and leaves are of different precious colors, and each precious stone has five hundred colors of light."

The accompanying sound rang out.

Li Muxuan and the other person kept flipping through the pages of the book and soon finished reading all sixteen visualization pictures.

But there was a strange look in his eyes.

This pure land.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just imagination?
Things like the sun, glass, gold, precious trees, seven-treasure lotus, precious tower, etc.

The shapes in the book, including what Senior Kongming said, are actually the ancients' imagination of the Pure Land. If possible, Li Muxuan could even imagine the Pure Land as a modern city. The key is whether you believe it or not.

But obviously.

The two of them could not believe in the things in the Sixteen Contemplations of Pure Land at all.

Think of this.

Li Muxuan asked, "Does one have to believe in Buddha to practice this method?"

"Of course!" Kong Ming said firmly, "If you believe, it exists. If you don't believe, it doesn't exist. If you firmly believe that the Pure Land exists, then the power of vows will arise naturally. If you don't even believe in it yourself, how can you generate the power of vows?"

"What if I believe in something else?"

"This"

Kong Ming was slightly speechless, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Of course it is possible in theory."

"But there is a problem. It is easy to deceive people, but it is difficult to deceive their hearts. You know clearly that what you are visualizing is just your imagination. How can you believe it without any doubt?"

“Just like this pure land.”

"It was left behind by our ancestors who had reached the state of Buddhahood. We also firmly believe that this world really exists."

"But how can you be sure that what you think is true?"

“If you can’t do it, then even if you practice, you will only be a means, and you won’t be able to reach the realm of transcendence and sainthood. It may even leave a flaw in your heart.”

"In the end, just like the mask of the godhead, I lost myself in the mix of truth and falsehood."

Hearing this, Li Muxuan nodded. He finally understood why the Pure Land Sect was called the Other-Power Sect. Compared to believing that they could transcend themselves, they believed more in the guidance of Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Believe in yourself.

Rely on the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

But we can't say they are wrong. After all, there is no right or wrong in faith itself.

For example, the concept of ascension to heaven and the thirty-six heavens are also the imaginations of sentient beings. Besides, why do you believe that the earth is round? Didn’t someone else tell you so?

But why do you believe what others say?
Have you verified it yourself?
To take it to the extreme, how do you ensure that everything you see is real?
Therefore, the Pure Land Sect believes in the guidance of Buddha and Bodhisattvas and in the Pure Land, which is essentially the same as ordinary people believing in the words of their teachers, parents, and the people around them.

No confirmation is needed, it just depends on whether you believe it.

But again, to target them, it is enough to just find evidence that the Pure Land does not exist.

Once faith collapses.

As a result, the heart of Taoism collapsed.

While thinking.

A rootless voice sounded.

"Two seniors." "In other words, if we just have a firm belief, can we produce the same effect as the Pure Land?"

"This..." Kong Ming frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "That's true, but I don't recommend it. And if you really have such a thing, remember not to choose something that can be proven to be fake!"

The advantage of the Pure Land is that it was left by the Buddha.

It cannot be proven that it exists, but similarly, no one can prove that it does not exist.

"Junior understands."

Wu Gensheng nodded and agreed.

Then, he looked at Li Muxuan with bright eyes and said, "Do you have any idea about this method?"

"Give it a try."

Li Muxuan's tone was calm.

If he has to talk about faith, he only believes in himself and can only believe in himself in the world.

Although he treated everything around him with sincerity, he could not be sure whether it was true or false, so naturally he could not believe it.

At this time, two people were about to give it a try.

Kong Ming said in a serious tone: "Young Taoist priest, you must think it through carefully."

"It's just a technique, not that serious."

He passed on the secret method to the two of them, intending to establish a good relationship and see if he could bring one of them into the door. But if something went wrong during the practice, this good relationship would become bad karma, which would be a real sin.

"Senior, even if I don't have this method, I still firmly believe in what I have in my heart."

"I just want to use this to get a glimpse of the secrets inside."

Li Muxuan looked serious.

Seeing this, Kong Ming didn't know what to say and could only shake his head helplessly.

Afterwards, Li Muxuan and Wu Gensheng did not delay, they closed their eyes and meditated, and began to visualize according to the method, but not the sun, glass, or precious tree, but to visualize what they wanted in their hearts.

Soon, with meditation.

Li Muxuan walked into the interior with ease.

Say what you wish.

He practiced cultivation in order to seek truth and transcendence, among which seeking truth was the top priority.

Because of this, his first priority was to visualize his own thoughts. Every thought that came from his true nature was unaffected by the body. Apart from all external things, it was also his true self.

So, in the lonely and empty interior.

He alone remains forever.

And immediately after.

As his visualization deepened, it was just like Pangu creating the world and the Big Bang.

Countless planets and stars appeared in the inner scene and began to move under the law of gravity, followed by the law of the unity of matter and energy, the law of the opposition of yin and yang, and the law of increasing entropy.
These are the rules in his mind.

At the same time, various methods have also been used to confirm that they do exist objectively.

But it’s not faith.

After all, these were all based on his knowledge from his previous life and his temporary observations in this life.

As to whether it was a definite rule of the universe and the way of heaven, he did not dare to be sure and had no way to verify it. So, in the blink of an eye, the world returned to silence again.

Then Li Muxuan began to visualize other things.

Wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
Everything is manifested in the inner scene, and every rule is verified and reverified.

At the same time, after Wu Gensheng closed his eyes, figures appeared in his inner scene. They were the people he had helped over the years, and each of them looked the same as him, even including Li Muxuan and Zhang Zhiwei.

Just compared to other figures.

The two of them seemed real and fake.

“All I believe in is what I see, and all I seek is to see myself clearly.”

Wu Gensheng lowered his head and talked to himself. Ever since he became conscious, his mind had been extremely clear. He had almost no feelings at all towards emotions that ordinary people could feel, such as anger, fear, etc.

If he didn't have the ability to think, he sometimes felt that he was no different from wood or stone.

That's why.

His wish is actually very simple, which is to be able to see himself and all living beings clearly.

Make sure there is no difference between me and all living beings!

This is also the reason why he entered Quanxing. After all, ordinary people are bound by morality, laws, etc. and will not easily expose their true nature. Quanxing, on the other hand, emphasizes following one's heart and doing what one desires. Every word and action comes from oneself.

Of course, this refers to the masters among all natures.

They are also the key targets of our assistance.

As for the rest of them, to put it bluntly, they are just muddle-headed and confused people.

However, if such people come to him, he will also help them. After all, confusion and escape are part of human nature. Helping them is, in a sense, helping himself.

Along with his thoughts arise.

Inside the pagoda.

Wu Gensheng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and countless people who looked like him suddenly appeared on his left and right.

Seeing this scene, Kongming and Abbot Daoshun looked at each other with deep astonishment in their eyes. Is this a clone? It doesn't seem like it. Instead, it looks like their Pure Land Dharma, which is also manifested by vows.

As for the magical things, that depends on the person, just like their Pure Land.

Some people focus on the Great Sun Contemplation Method.

Dispel evil spirits.

Some people focus on water meditation, and their minds are clear and peaceful, as if their hearts are as pure as ice, and are not tainted in the slightest. Some people focus on the meditation on their next life. Although this method is difficult to practice, after it is mastered, it can give insight into what will happen in the future.

If we really have to give a name to this thing in front of us, it should be called the View of All Living Beings.

"This child has a connection with my Buddha."

Kong Ming sighed.

Although this method is no longer included in the Sixteen Contemplations, it has nothing to do with their Pure Land.

But the way they view sentient beings coincides with their Buddhist philosophy.

If you want to save sentient beings, you must understand what they want. If you don’t understand anything, how can you save them? This is why it is said that the Buddha has countless incarnations.

He has countless incarnations and knows everything.

Only this kind of enlightenment can save all living beings from suffering and lead them to the Pure Land.

"Unfortunately, he is from Xuanmen."

Daoshun shook his head.

"What is the difference between Buddhism and Taoism? As long as you have Buddha thoughts in your heart and practice Buddhism, how can you not have a connection with Buddha?"

Kongming didn't care much about this. One doesn't have to be a disciple to enter Buddhism. If one has practiced the Pure Land Sect's methods, there is no guarantee that one will not develop Buddhist thoughts in the future.

Even if you can only save yourself and not all living beings.

That is also Buddha!

Between thoughts.

The two turned their eyes to look at Li Muxuan, but he was ordinary, without any magical features.

"Failed? That's reasonable." Kong Ming sighed. After all, this method is simple at the same time and extremely difficult at the same time, not to mention that one has to abandon the predecessors and forge one's own path.

"Pity."

Daoshun shook his head and said, "It seems that he has no affinity with my Buddha, but it is us who have formed a good affinity with him."

Just finished.

The surrounding Buddha statues sensed something and instantly emitted infinite light!

same moment.

The whole pagoda looks like a bright sun.

The light shines in all directions!

Looking at this sudden strange phenomenon, Daoshun and Kongming both widened their eyes and looked shocked.

Xilin Temple has not seen Buddha for thousands of years, but today Buddha sees me?!
