Chapter 309 If You Know that There Is Nothing and No Mind, You Are the True Dharmakaya Buddha! Layman, Are You Willing to Be Reborn?

"Have you studied Buddhism?"

At this time, Wu Man became interested after listening to Li Muxuan's words.

The other party's words came from the "Five Yin Parables Sutra", which was said by a monk in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The color aggregate is compared to the dirty foam formed when the river water hits, which has a shape but no substance.

The feeling aggregate is compared to bubbles that float up one by one in the water and burst in an instant.

The thought aggregate is the steam formed when the sun shines on the ground in spring or summer and the water evaporates. It sometimes reflects and forms various images, but it is ultimately an illusion, unreal and unreal.

The action aggregate is like a banana leaf. When you peel it off one by one, there is nothing inside, but when you put it together, there is a real object.

As for the consciousness aggregate, it is like a fantasy. It can make you recognize something and think that it is real, but when you really confirm it, you will get lost in it. This is also the most difficult level to break through among the five aggregates.

Through these metaphors, the monk made it easier for future generations to observe their own five aggregates and overcome them.

But Wu Man has read the principles in the Buddhist scriptures countless times.

But he still couldn't see that the five aggregates are empty.

He became a monk three times and returned to secular life three times. He visited many eminent monks in the world, but they couldn't help him get rid of his troubles. They just asked him to read more Buddhist scriptures and act according to the Buddhist scriptures.

But he had studied those Buddhist scriptures countless times, whether it was Mahayana Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism.

He still couldn't break through ignorance.

That's why.

He simply followed his nature, lived recklessly, and found this mysterious head.

Let's see if he can help him get through this level!

At this time, hearing Wu Man's words, Li Muxuan said lightly: "I understand some superficial Buddhist principles."

"You are not superficial." Wu Man smiled and said: "If you can only say a few words, then you can't say you understand. It's nothing more than those virtuous scholars. You keep talking about the principles of saints, but you don't understand the meaning at all."

"And I see that although you are a Gu Master, your life cultivation is not low."

"After all, you can kill a person under the eyes of a group of Quanxing and make them stay away from you. You can't do it without some tricks, but there is no light in your eyes, and the breath on your body tends to be flat."

"There are only two possibilities, either you have practiced hidden skills like the Tang Sect."

"Or. The life cultivation is extraordinary."

Wu Man's eyes flickered. As early as in the ruined temple just now, he saw that the other party was not right, but the head of the sect personally acknowledged the other party's identity, so why should he bother? Just don't disturb his practice.

But looking at the other party like this, it seems that he has a lot of insights into Buddhist principles.

This aroused his curiosity.

I didn't expect that there are such people in Quanxing. They are really full of talents!

"You overestimated."

Li Muxuan replied calmly, without arguing with the other party.

At this time, Wu Gensheng stepped out to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Layman, you don't know, my brother is good in everything, but he is too humble."

"Haha, it's a good thing for young people to be humble."

Wu Man didn't ask any more questions.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter what the identity of the young 'gu master' in front of him is.

Whether it's the remnant of the Medicine Fairy Society, the disciple of the righteous path, or the wanderer of the rivers and lakes, all of these have nothing to do with him. They are the illusions and emptiness mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.

On the other side.

Gu Jiting secretly observed Li Muxuan.

Although he no longer doubted that the other party was the Immortal Unstained, he was more curious about his true identity.

Could it be that there is another peerless monster in this world.

Two each from the righteous path and Quanxing?

Then the way of heaven is too good at checks and balances, right? It's not impossible. After all, one yin and one yang are called Tao. There's no reason why the righteous Tao should occupy two, and the leader should have only one.

At this time, a voice interrupted his thinking.

"Let's go."

Wu Gensheng urged.

"Leader, you haven't answered my question just now." Wu Man looked at Wu Gensheng.

"Let's talk slowly on the way." Wu Gensheng said and walked forward. Wu Man didn't say anything and followed him with everyone.

Just a few steps.

Wu Gensheng asked: "Layman, I heard that you became a monk three times and returned to secular life three times."

"Can you tell us what happened?"

As the saying goes, the right medicine for the right disease, although he knew that the other party's heart knot was ignorance, the five aggregates, and how to let him let go, but knowing more would make him more confident in helping him get through that level later.

"If the leader wants to listen, of course."

Wu Man nodded in agreement.

The others listened attentively, after all, this person was also a legendary figure in the world.

From a high monk, he suddenly fell into Quanxing, and was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Except that he was not as cruel and bloodthirsty as Bai Xiao Liang Ting, he was unique in playing and was completely free from any constraints.

In his mind.

Wu Man's voice sounded.

"Let's start with my origin. In fact, there is nothing special. It's just a wealthy merchant's family."

"But my mother was just a maid in the family, and I was not welcomed. I was sent to the countryside when I was five years old and raised by the old family members. Unfortunately, I contracted malaria when I was eight years old and was thrown into the woodshed to fend for myself."

"Fortunately, a master passed by and I survived under his rescue."

Wu Man spoke, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Even though decades have passed and the group of people in the tribe have died, he still can't forget it.

"So you became a monk?" Wu Gensheng carefully observed Wu Man's expression while speaking. He probably understood the other party's feelings, but it was not that cruel.

At least I can still meet the master and have clan members to look after me.

In this world, countless people die unexpectedly, suffer from cold and hunger all day long, or are kept in cages and traded like animals.

Of course, just because there are worse ones, it doesn’t mean that others’ suffering is insignificant.

"almost."

Wu Man smiled and said: "That master is a good man. Not only did he save me, he was also willing to accept me as his disciple."

"However, the reason why I chose to follow the master at that time was for no other reason than to have enough food in the temple. As for the Buddhist scriptures and principles, I only read them in full, and I couldn't understand them at all."

"But I don't know why, but as I read it, I felt Qi."

"At that time, I didn't know that this was spiritual practice. After I told the master about it, the master said that I had a predestined relationship with the Buddha. From then on, my task in the temple was no longer to chant sutras and carry water, but to polish my muscles and bones."

"I practiced Sanjiu in the winter and Sanfu in the summer. I practiced like this for ten years."

"Unknowingly, I surpassed my master."

"Then why did you return to secular life?"

Wugensheng was curious and asked, according to this trend, wouldn't he devote himself to practicing Buddhism and become a generation of eminent monks?

"My father is dead."

Wu Man said lightly.

"I see, dad's death has a great impact on one's character." Jin Feng said at this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Man retorted, "Shit, I don't feel sorry for him at all when he dies. It was his wife's son who was killed by bandits while transporting goods. After that, he didn't want to see Wan Guan's wealth fall into the hands of others." hand."

"That's when I remembered that I still have a son!"

"And I was eating fast in the temple all day. I had already become impatient, so I took this opportunity to leave."

"To be honest, if it weren't for money."

"Do you think I am willing to recognize this father?"

"."

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate him. Anyway, he definitely couldn't get along with Xiao.

"Then why did you become a monk again?"

Wu Gensheng asked.

"Although my bastard father is not a very good person, he still has the ability to make money."

Wu Man said calmly: "After I inherited his property, I first married a wife, and then took in four concubines. I spent all my time in ecstasy and didn't care about business matters at all. In addition, I became addicted to gambling."

"The family fortune was quickly lost."

"The wife returned to her parents' home, and the concubine ran away with the money. In the end, she had nothing."

"At that time, I was in a trough, spending money to get drunk all day long, and was confused. One day, I suddenly saw the Buddhist scriptures at home, and the scriptures I had read appeared in my mind word by word."

"At first I just used it to kill time. The more I studied it, the more profound the Dharma became."

"So I found another temple and became a monk."

"It can be regarded as returning to the old business."

As soon as these words came out, Wugenshengyan said: "I didn't expect you to be such a bastard when you were young."

"In the eyes of outsiders, I am indeed a bastard." Wu Man grinned: "But in my opinion now, only that period of time is called alive, and it feels happy, without any worries at all."

"Learning Buddhism makes me feel miserable."

"oh?"

Wu Gensheng's eyes were filled with curiosity.

Wu Man continued: "Perhaps I am really destined to the Buddha as Master said."

"When I became a monk for the second time, it took only ten years to become the person with the deepest understanding of Buddhist scriptures and principles in the temple. There were even many people who came from thousands of miles away to listen to my lectures. During this period, I also learned Sanskrit."

"The purpose is to better understand my Buddha's intention."

"But the more I study it, the more I feel that Buddhism is fake and empty and of no use at all."

"The so-called universal salvation of all sentient beings is just to reconcile sentient beings with their sufferings, so that they do not regard suffering as suffering. How can we talk about universal salvation with this principle?"

"All living beings are still in dire straits."

"Including myself, my heart is still full of all kinds of worries and I can't be peaceful."

"So I returned to secular life again. This time, I feel that the reason why the world is so chaotic is because of evildoers, and people are living in dire straits."

"So I returned to secular life this time and decided to uphold good deeds, eliminate evildoers, and help the poor and weak."

"At that time, I killed many powerful men and bandits who bullied the people, as well as those practitioners who did evil, so that I was praised as a righteous man by many people."

Wu Man sighed and said, "But the further we get to the back, the heavier the burden on my shoulders becomes."

"Until the end, I was completely out of breath."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Wugensheng's eyes flashed.

"Do you know the meaning behind the eyes of those pairs of people who respect you? In their eyes, you are the omnipotent hero, the light that saves them from the darkness."

"In order to respond to that expectation, you have to be very energetic."

"But I'm also a human being, and I get tired too."

Wu Man laughed at himself: "And later I found out that no matter how hard I try, I will never succeed."

"There is no way to deal with all the evil people in the world, nor can I lead all the people I have helped to the right path. The only one I can save is myself."

"So I gave up, or you could say I gave up halfway and chose to escape."

"In short, I escaped into Buddhism again."

"But this time, I have a more thorough understanding of Buddhism, and I also understand that what the Buddha said may seem false and empty, but it actually explains why all living beings are like this. As long as the five aggregates exist for one day, it is difficult for all living beings to be liberated."

"There is no peace in the world."

"Because of this, this time I gave up my intention of crossing people and thought I could just jump out by myself."

"But you can't jump out, can you?" Wu Gensheng said. If he jumps out, he won't be able to enter the complete nature, he won't cause trouble in the world, and he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately and get rid of the Wang family.

"That's right."

Wu Man nodded and said: "I clearly followed the Buddhist scriptures, but I still can't be quiet."

"There is a saying in "Journey to the West" that the Buddha is the heart and the heart is the Buddha. The Buddha in the heart always wants things. If you know that there are no things and no mind, then you are truly like the Dharmakaya Buddha."

"At that time, I suddenly realized that only when there is no Buddha in my heart can I become a true Buddha."

“So I returned to secular life again and acted according to my heart.”

"This time, rules and regulations, morality and righteousness are all bullshit to me. I am the Buddha, so why should I be trapped by these false things? I can eat when I want, drink when I want, and whore when I want. Everything comes from my heart. !”

As he spoke, Wu Man grinned. He had long forgotten about the Buddha.

Otherwise he wouldn't have joined Quanxing.

"Then why are you still looking for me?"

Wugensheng's tone was flat.

I don't think that the other party is really seeing through it, but I don't think he is as indulgent as Quan Xing.

"Empty. If I do the same thing too much, I will inevitably feel bored. Moreover, I feel that I am getting further and further away from true liberation. There are more and more troubles in my heart, and I am increasingly unable to see through ignorance."

Wu Man sighed. He never forgot that his goal was to see that all five aggregates were empty.

This is where he differs from White Owl and others.

Even in his opinion.

Liang Ting is just a child who only knows how to look for excitement and has no idea what he wants.

The rest of them are pretty much the same in character. They are a bunch of fools who seem to care nothing about anything and love to join in the fun, but in fact they don’t even know what they want or what they are doing.

"I understand."

After hearing all this, Wu Gensheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Have you thought of how to help me?"

Wu Man's eyes lit up.

"That was my original plan. After listening to everything you said, I feel more confident."

Wu Gensheng nodded and said, "But I have something to say beforehand. This matter may be a little dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Wu Man hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision.

"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't enter perfection."

"Yeah?"

Wu Gensheng smiled. If he failed, the consequences would be countless times more uncomfortable than death.

But the other party has to walk the road themselves.

He only pushes.

To put it bluntly, even if you can't get through, there is one less scourge in the world, right?

At this time, Wu Man asked: "After talking so much, is it time to talk about your method?"

"It's simple."

Wu Gensheng put away his smile and said in a serious voice: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Could it be that Master Quanxing wanted Wu Man to change his ways, become a monk for the fourth time, and then become a monk?

But Li Muxuan's eyes flickered.

There are many allusions to this statement.

Some say that the butcher was moved by the Buddha's teachings after meeting the eminent monk, while others say that the thief was moved by the Buddha's actions.

But these are actually too deliberate, as if it is easy for a person to change his ways, the Dharma is omnipotent, and as long as you read it, you can be a new person.

So much so that it feels hypocritical.

Of course, there is another interpretation, which is to stop evil and practice good deeds, and then move towards the road of becoming a Buddha.

But this obviously didn't work for Wu Man.

The method mentioned by Wu Gensheng should not be so superficial, and for this, we have to mention another similar allusion, Buddha's Duhua Bo Xun.

According to legend, Bo Xun asked the Buddha.

You say that all living beings can become Buddhas. How can I become a Buddha even if I have done such evil things?

The Buddha said of course, so he used his great supernatural power to make Bo Xun experience countless reincarnations in an instant. As a result, Bo Xun understood the Buddhist principles and chose to take refuge.

Of course, the specific story is definitely not that simple.

But the truth is pretty much the same.

Just thinking about it.

The puzzled Wu Man asked: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing, do you want to be reborn?"

The corners of Wu Gensheng's mouth raised slightly.
