Yinsi guest

In my 30 years of life, I have seen countless towering buildings, but there are many tall buildings in Haishi, and the ones with a height of [-] meters are row upon row. They are all taller than the palace in front of me, but there has never been one One can be compared with the palace in front of you.There is only one reason, and that is momentum.

Standing outside the gate of the temple, I feel its holiness and solemnity. I feel ashamed and feel that I am covered in filth. Even though I have washed the dust in front of the temple, I still dare not rush in.

The huge palace gate is inlaid with gold and jade, and countless rare gemstones are shining. I caress them, my eyes are full of confusion.But this time, I didn't care about the value of these gems, but appreciated them from the bottom of my heart. Appreciating their shape and luster is an admiration for beauty.

The door of the hall opened without wind, but it was huge but made no sound.I looked in through the slowly opened gate, and the whole palace was shrouded in peaceful light. The round roof of the palace was not airtight. People seem to be in a fairyland.

"Guests come from afar, please enter the hall and have a talk!"

A pleasant voice came from my ear, it was the person who had appeared in my heart before, she was in the palace in front of me.

A little scared, but also a little excited, I took a step and stepped into the sacred palace.

Just one step, it seems to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers.The scenery in front of me suddenly changed, and I was in a trance. I was already in the palace, surrounded by auspicious clouds, the fragrance was refreshing, and countless graceful figures around me were dancing, and I didn't notice me, the naked intruder.

I looked at these beauties circling and interspersing around me. They danced beautifully with long sleeves and fluttering ribbons, which I had never seen before, and I was fascinated for a while.

After dancing to a song, dozens of beauties receded like a tide and disappeared into the round gates on both sides of the palace.

Someone in the hall applauded lightly, and I woke up with a start, and found that in the center of the hall, a dozen meters in front of me, was sitting a handsome man with a high crown, and it was he who made the sound.

"The guest has been standing in front of my hall for more than thirty days, but what do you think?" He smiled and spoke, his voice was unspeakably peaceful, but what surprised me was that it was a gentle female voice.

I froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing my expression, he immediately chuckled: "I was the one who was abrupt, I wonder if this appearance can satisfy the guests?"

Then the sleeves flicked, and the handsome man sitting in the hall suddenly turned into a kind old woman, with gray hair and a thin face, still with an extraordinary bearing!

"No birth mother?" I exclaimed.

The old woman smiled: "Mother without birth? That's right, people in the world do call me that. But it's just a skin, I have no form, and it's only because of the image in the hearts of the world that I am ever-changing."

While talking, it changes, the solemn Tathagata, the thousand-handed Guanyin, the pregnant Maitreya, the heroic general, and the charming girl. . . . . .Countless images continue to appear in front of me, and finally freeze, turning into the face I have always dreamed of—gentleness.

"I see!" I closed my eyes without a single thought in my heart, and opened them again, and the person in front of me turned out to be me, also naked.

I smiled at that: "That's true, you can only see your true self by throwing away the distracting thoughts of the world. But now you still have desires, which have not been eliminated. I can help you reach the body of the Great Saint. Are you willing to accept the test?"

"The body of the great sage?" I asked blankly.

I in the hall nodded: "In the words of your Taoists, it is the immortal golden body. People in the world often say that my teaching does not pay attention to the skin, but it is actually a misunderstanding of the teaching. Would you like to listen to me in detail?"

I knelt down and bowed: "All ears!"

"Okay, I'll tell you. In fact, all the methods of practice in the world are similar. It is nothing more than getting rid of distracting thoughts, throwing away worldly desires, seeking inner peace and ease, so as to transcend the shackles of heaven and earth. You Taoist practice, because of your own life span and other reasons , adopt the method of cultivating the primordial spirit and throwing away the physical body, in order to live the same life as the heaven and the earth. Although this is not impossible, it is also too dangerous!"

Hearing what he said, I suddenly realized: "My mother means that there is another way of cultivation?"

"Of course!" He stood up: "The Dao has no extension, how can there be only one method of cultivation? You can see that the saint I teach, he is the body of the little saint, who can fly against the sky, and the soul can leave the body. What is the difference between being able to perceive people's hearts and predicting the future, and what you call immortals?"

I looked up: "Then how did he cultivate the body of this little saint?"

The people in the hall changed again, this time because I thought of the saint in my heart, the Wusheng old mother turned into his appearance again.

"God gave us this body, which is an incomparably miraculous thing. Various organs are combined and coordinated with each other to support our life. Our body itself is a world. Why don't we cultivate our body well? Abandoning what God has given you, and looking for the misty soul, wouldn't it be easier to find more difficult?" The saint explained word by word.

"Give up what's easy and ask for difficulty? What does my mother mean is that it's easier to become holy?" I didn't understand.

The saint twisted his beard: "Sanctification of the body is in accordance with the way of heaven, and transformation of the primordial spirit into an immortal is to seek fate against the heavens. Which one do you say is difficult and which one is easy?"

"Following the way of heaven is naturally much easier than seeking one's life against the heavens!" I was a little pleasantly surprised, and roughly understood the meaning of Wusheng old mother.

He went on to say: "Compared to the original deification and immortality, the biggest change in becoming a saint in the flesh is that you don't have to be punished by heaven. What you worry about most is hurting your loved ones around you. If you choose to become a saint in the flesh, you can avoid all this. But There are advantages and disadvantages, there is no easy method of practice in the world, do you understand?"

I nodded: "I understand that even if the physical body is sanctified, it is necessary to go through all kinds of hardships to achieve the immortal body. I also ask my mother to give me the practice method."

The saint laughed and said: "I knew that you were destined to be with me. In fact, you have been practicing the method of physical sanctification since you fell into the deep hole. The sanctification of the physical body also requires removing the negative emotions in your body. Driven by your own desires, you can seek complete tranquility. During your descent, your heart was full of despair and confusion. If you hadn't been guarded by a saint, you would have been cut to pieces by the blast like everyone else. That place, you Get rid of despair and confusion!"

I suddenly realized, no wonder no matter how dangerous and difficult it was afterwards, I never lost hope. It turned out that the mood of despair had been eliminated early in the morning.

"After that, in Huoyunjian, you saw the rapid changes in your life, and your physique was also transformed by the fire poison. You were able to persist in finding a way out under exhausted conditions, and you were never overwhelmed by fatigue. There, you got rid of sadness and laziness, learned Persevered, and successfully saved my own life." The saint walked down the hall slowly, talking as he walked, motioning for me to stand up.

I propped myself up: "Then what can I gain by the river?"

The holy man came to my side and helped me up: "The water in that river is a holy spring. After you drink it, the fire poison in your body will be eliminated and your body will be purified. Don't you realize that? By the river, you You have encountered many dangers, but in the end you overcome them one by one, what you get rid of is fear and sloppy, and what you gain is dexterity."

He paused and then said: "When you came to the grassland and killed those eight giant lions, it represented the eight negative emotions in your heart, but the last two are anxiety and loneliness. On the grassland Lost in circles, until you overcome them, I will let you see the real vacuum home. At this time, you have reached the basic conditions for physical sanctification."

I looked into the wise eyes of Wu Sheng's old mother: "What conditions must be fulfilled to be considered true consummation?"

"Love is heartbroken, and desire hurts the body!" He whispered in my ear, "You have to overcome your own desire."

I whisper: "Which **** need to be defeated?"

The lifeless mother turned back to the original handsome man: "You have done a good job, you don't care about your own beauty or ugliness, life and death in Huoyunjian, you don't care about the quality of food in holy rivers and grasslands, In front of the gate of the temple, regardless of the value of speech and sound and the value of treasures, the six desires have already defeated the five desires, only the last desire has not been defeated. But the conditions for achieving the body of the great sage have already been met. I think I taught the saint to come to the vacuum In my hometown, I just overcame the desire for appearance and greed, and you have greatly exceeded my expectations."

I was surprised: "Could it be lust? But when I was bathing in front of the stone steps, I was still unmoved by the stunning beauties. Isn't it considered that I have defeated lust?"

Wu Sheng's old mother laughed: "What you bathe in front of the temple is the essence of the holy spring on the snow peak. After soaking in the spring water, people in the world must have no distracting thoughts and improve their physique. It's not that you didn't have the desire to be sexually active there. You have controlled yourself well, although you didn’t intend it, but you paid attention to the maid’s figure, this is the appearance. Later, when I came to the hall, I arranged a dance, and you were fascinated by the maid’s dance. These are all lust Undivided result."

"Then how can I overcome it?"

These desires are not controlled by me, but innate, how easy is it to overcome them?I can only ask the handsome man in front of me for advice.

He turned around and stared at the many treasures on the hall: "It all depends on your own perseverance! Since your cultivation, you have not restrained this desire. Today I will arrange another trial for you. I hope you can After passing my test, I will teach you the method of achieving the Eucharist."

"Thank you Wusheng old mother, I will definitely live up to expectations!" I thanked again.

Wusheng old mother turned around suddenly, her eyes burning: "In this case, then I will start. This trial is quite dangerous. If you can't overcome lust-desire, you will sink into the sea of ​​desire from now on, unable to extricate yourself, and fall into a place of eternal doom. You Are you willing to try? Even if you shrink back now, I can help you achieve the body of the Great Saint!"

I looked up at him. "What if I pass this final test?"

Wu Sheng's old mother changed her appearance again, she was a dignified woman of Dharma, she was indescribably holy and noble, she said slowly: "If you can pass this final test, I will help you become a golden saint like me How is your body?"
