Chapter 295: Xilin Temple Has Not Seen Buddha for a Thousand Years, but Today Buddha Sees Me? !

"Senior, your words are serious."

Li Muxuan took the book. He didn't think that he would be able to surpass others in his lifetime in less than ten years.

After all, means are no better than others.

Pay attention to adaptability.

For example, if junior brother Lu Jin learns the third level of rebirth, his progress is completely different from if he learns the methods of the Tang sect.

Wu Gensheng on the side had a strange look in his eyes when he heard the words. He didn't understand what Bu Ran said was too serious, or whether "within ten years" was too strong. It only took a few months or a few days to master it.

After all, the name of Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Dharmas is not in vain. All Dharmas are available and all Dharmas are accessible!

Between thoughts.

The voice of Donglin Abbot Daoshun sounded.

"To put it bluntly, this method is easier to learn than the three important points of reverse birth of your Trinity Sect."

"It's just easy to learn but hard to master."

Speaking of this, Abbot Daoshun continued: "As the saying goes, magical power is not as good as karma, and karma is not as good as the power of wishes."

"Even if you have supreme magical power, it is difficult to escape the shackles of cause and effect. Only by sincerely making a wish can you offset the karma and live forever without being tortured by cause and effect."

"And all the methods in the world emphasize magical powers and underestimate the power of will."

"You can ignore cause and effect if you rely on your own superior means."

"As everyone knows, we are still controlled by cause and effect. It's just that the time has not come yet, so we can use our strength to do evil."

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

However, good causes may not necessarily have good consequences, and evil causes may not necessarily have bad consequences. They are related to good and evil, and reincarnation.

Just to warn the world.

Between thoughts.

Seeing that Li Muxuan and the others were not interested in the theory of cause and effect, Dao Shun was slightly disappointed.

However, I didn't have much hope of getting them through the door wall, so I continued: "The power of wish refers to the karma created by wishes, and it can also be regarded as the power of will."

"Most people live a lifetime without knowing why they were born, and they don't know why they died."

"Confused and depressed."

As he said that, Daoshun sighed and said, "Although drinking, sex, and wealth are harmful to people, if you focus on this, you can't do it."

"For people, this life is a happy life, but the world's people only seek wealth, only windfall, the world's people seek sex, only lust, and the world's anger, only seek a temporary smooth flow of energy."

"If you have a slight setback, you will be unable to recover, your will will be weak, and you will blame others."

"There is a saying that life and death are determined by destiny, and success or failure depends on heaven."

"But if you have a firm will, regard difficulties and obstacles as trials, and never forget what you want in your heart even if you are in a trough, such a person may not be successful in the eyes of the world, but his life will be worthy of it."

After the words fell, Li Muxuan nodded in agreement.

I also understand what the power of will is.

In fact, in Taoist terms, it is a person’s desire to seek Tao.

In Confucian terms, it is the development of conscience, the unity of knowledge and action, while in modern terms, it is faith, a lifelong struggle to realize the wishes in the heart.

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

"Create a wish for all sentient beings."

"exactly."

A strange color flashed in Daoshun's eyes.

I didn't expect that given his age, he could actually see this. He is truly an unparalleled talent.

However, according to past experience, the smarter the person, the more susceptible he is to the influence of intellectual obstacles. He thinks he has seen through everything, so he does not believe in anything and is not afraid of anything. Naturally, it is impossible to make a sincere wish.

Of course, there is another type of person who does something even though he knows it is impossible to do.

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

No one has seen it anyway.

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

Just as he was thinking about it, Kong Ming said, "Don't talk about cause and effect. The so-called power of others and the power of wishes are actually self-power. They all depend on whether your faith is pious or not. There are sixteen visualization pictures recorded in the booklet I just gave you. and the essence of spiritual 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 they had been given before.

The first page is a big sun, shaped like a hanging drum, shining brightly. Although it is just painted on paper, it gives people a majestic light that shines all over the world, and is so bright that it cannot be looked directly at.

The second page is a side of Hengjing Mubo's water.

That's when.

Kong Ming explained: "Sun view is the basis of this method. It has the meaning of upright light and uses light to drive away distracting thoughts and delusions. Water view means purity. For the first time, everything in the pure land is big water. When I think of ice again, I see the reflection of ice. Che, turn into glass."

“I’ll practice Earth View later.”

"Visualize that there are golden pillars of the Seven Diamonds supporting the glazed ground, with golden ropes scattered among the toilets on the ground."

"Then there is the Precious Tree Contemplation. Contemplating the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, there are seven rows of trees. All the seven treasures have flowers and leaves. The flowers and leaves are the colors of different treasures. Each treasure has five hundred colors of light."

Accompanied by the sound.

Li Muxuan and the other two kept turning the pages of the book and quickly finished reading the sixteen visualization pictures.

But there was a strange look in his eyes.

This pure land.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just imagination?

Great sun, glass, gold, precious tree, seven-jeweled lotus, precious tower and so on.

The shapes in the book, including the words spoken by Senior Kong Ming, are actually the ancients' imagination of the Pure Land. If possible, Li Muxuan could even imagine the Pure Land as a modern city. The important thing is whether you believe it or not.

But obviously.

The two of them could not believe anything in the Sixteen Views of the Pure Land.

Think of this.

Li Muxuan said: "Do you have to believe in Buddha to practice this method?"

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

"What if the junior believes in something else?"

"This"

Kongming was slightly speechless, and after a moment of silence, he said: "In theory, it is possible."

"But there is a problem. It is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive their hearts. You know that the things you visualize are imagined by yourself, how can you believe it without a doubt?"

"Just like This Pure Land. "

"It was left by the predecessors who reached the realm of Buddha. We also firmly believe that this world really exists in the world. "

"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 get a means, and you can't reach the realm of transcendence and sainthood, and it may even leave flaws in your heart. "

"In the end, just like the mask of the godhead, you lose yourself in the truth and falsehood. "

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

Put their own faith.

Put it on the Western Pure Land of Bliss.

But it can't be said that they are wrong. After all, there is no right or wrong in faith.

For example, ascension to heaven and thirty-six heavens, these are also the imaginations of sentient beings. In addition, why do you believe that the earth is round? Didn't others tell you?

But why do you believe what others say?

Have you verified it yourself?

To take it to the extreme, how can you ensure that everything you see is real?

So, the Pure Land Sect believes in the guidance of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and believes in the Pure Land, which is essentially the same as ordinary people believing in the words of teachers, parents, and people around them.

No need for verification, just whether to believe.

But similarly, for them, it is enough to find evidence that the Pure Land does not exist.

Once the faith collapses.

The heart of Tao will also collapse.

While thinking.

Wu Gensheng's voice sounded.

"Two seniors."

"In other words, as long as you believe it without a doubt, can you 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 false!"

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

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

"Junior understands."

Wu Gensheng nodded in agreement.

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

"Try it."

Li Muxuan said calmly.

If we talk about belief, he only believes in himself in the world, and can only believe in himself.

Although he treats everything around him with sincerity, he can neither be sure that they are true nor false, so naturally he can't believe it.

At this time, seeing that the two people are going to try.

Kongming said in a serious tone: "Little Taoist priest, you must think clearly."

"It's just a practice method, not that."

He passed the secret method to the two people, intending to make a good relationship and see if he could bring them or one of them into the door wall, but if something goes wrong in the practice, this good relationship will become evil karma, which is really a sin.

"Senior, even if there is no such method, I still believe in what I have in my heart."

"I just want to use this to peek into the secret of the inner scene."

Li Muxuan looked serious.

Seeing this, Kongming couldn't say much, and could only shake his head helplessly.

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

Soon, with meditation.

Li Muxuan entered the inner scene with ease.

To talk about wishes.

He practiced for the sake of seeking truth and transcendence, among which seeking truth was listed first.

Because of this, he first visualized his own thoughts. Every thought was generated by the true spirit of his nature, not affected by the body, and put aside all external things. It was also the most real self.

So, in the lonely and empty inner scene.

Only he existed forever.

And then.

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

Countless planets and stars appeared in the inner scene and began to operate under a rule called 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 entropy increase.

These are all the rules in his mind.

At the same time, he also used various methods to verify that they do exist objectively.

But it is not a belief.

After all, these are all what he has observed temporarily with the help of his previous life's knowledge and this life.

As for whether it is a certain rule of the universe and the way of heaven, he dare not be sure, and there is no way to verify it. So, in a 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 again.

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

It's just compared to other figures.

The two people are real and unreal.

"What I believe is only what I see, and what I want is to see myself clearly."

Wu Gensheng lowered his head and muttered to himself. Ever since he became conscious, his heart has been extremely transparent. Emotions that ordinary people can feel, such as anger, fear, etc., are almost completely insensible to him.

If he hadn't had the ability to think, sometimes he would have felt that he was no different from Mu Shi.

That's why.

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

Let me be the same as all sentient beings!

This is also the reason why he entered Quanxing. After all, ordinary people are restricted by morals, laws, etc. and will not expose their nature easily. Quanxing mainly focuses on doing whatever they want and doing whatever they want, and everything they say and do comes from themselves.

Of course, this is talking about the master of all natures.

They are also the focus of their support.

As for other people, to put it bluntly, they are just confused people.

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

Thoughts arose that accompanied him.

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, Kong Ming and Abbot Daoshun looked at each other, with deep shock in their eyes. Is this a clone? It doesn't look like it, but it looks like their Pure Land method, which is also manifested by the power of wishes.

As for the magic among them, it depends on the person, just like their pure land.

Some people focus on the Mahavadhisattva.

Dispel evil spirits.

Some people focus on water observation, and their hearts are quiet, as clear as ice, without a trace of stain. There are also people who focus on the following life. Although this method is difficult to practice, after mastering it, you can gain insight into what will happen in the future.

As for the thing in front of me, if I really want to name it, it should be called the View of All Living Beings.

"This son is destined to be my Buddha."

Kong Ming sighed.

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

But the audience’s ideas coincided with their Buddhist principles.

If you want to save sentient beings, you have to understand what they want. If you don't know anything about it, you can't talk about saving sentient beings. This is why there is a saying that the Buddha has countless incarnations.

He has taken countless incarnations and is omniscient.

Only with this kind of enlightenment can all sentient beings be freed from suffering and led to the Pure Land.

"It's a pity that he is from Xuanmen."

Daoshun shook his head.

"What's 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 predestined relationship with Buddha?"

Kong Ming didn't care much about this. If you enter Buddhism, you may not become a disciple of Buddhism. Once you have practiced the Pure Land sect, there is no guarantee that you will not have thoughts of Buddha in the future.

Even if he only saves himself and not all sentient beings.

That is also a Buddha!

Between thoughts.

The two of them turned to look at Li Muxuan, but their eyes were ordinary and there was nothing magical about them.

"Did you fail? It's reasonable." Kong Ming sighed. After all, this method is easy to say and extremely difficult to say hard, not to mention abandoning the predecessors and blazing a trail on his own.

"Pity."

Daoshun shook his head and said: "It seems that he has no predestined relationship with me, Buddha, but we have formed a good relationship with him."

Just finished.

The surrounding Buddha statues sensed something and instantly burst into immeasurable light!

same moment.

The entire pagoda is like a bright sun.

The light shines in all directions!

Looking at this sudden vision, Daoshun and Kongming suddenly opened their eyes with shock on their faces.

I haven’t seen the Buddha in Xilin Temple for a thousand years, but the Buddha sees me today? !
