Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 191: Don't Let Dust
"The one aspect that always exists, the first and the infinite, as clear as the void, the all-encompassing wisdom, illuminating the unborn, the beginning and the end of the truth..."
At the Western Lingshan Mountain, the divine light of wisdom shines for thousands of miles. Under the Bodhi tree, the Taoist Cundi picks up a flower and smiles, with a solemn appearance. He preaches the Vajra Prajna Dharma and talks about the root of supreme wisdom.
Next to Zhunti, Jie Yin was lying with his right hand resting on his pillow and his feet crossed, looking like a lion. Three thousand blue lotuses were falling, and the Taoist was dreaming of three thousand worlds.
Beside the Bodhi Dharma Platform is a lotus pond with golden lotus flowers in it. The pond is so clear that you can see the bottom. The water surface is slightly rippling with waves rising and falling.
The golden lotus blossoms into twelve varieties, and the sparkling water in the pond represents merit.
In front of the lotus pond, three Taoists were sitting quietly listening to the Dharma.
One was informal, with his clothes loose, his chest and abdomen exposed, and his figure was relatively large, and the smile on his face never stopped;
A statue with a dignified appearance, sitting solemnly, holding a glass gourd, as if listening attentively, with a medicinal fragrance emanating from his body, and a wheel of merit and virtue behind his head shining brightly;
The other one wore a bright crown and feathered robe, had a calm demeanor, and a compassionate look on his face. His body was as pure as glass, without any dust or stain, as if he had attained great freedom.
Suddenly, the flowers and leaves of the Bodhi tree fell, and there was no Prajna at all. The divine light of wisdom changed again and again, and inexplicable rhythm came out of the mouth of Zhunti Bodhisattva.
Jie Yin suddenly stood up and sat cross-legged, like a sleeping lion king who was woken up. He was filled with anger and his painful face changed again and again, finally showing a look of anger. The color of the green lotuses around him became darker and darker.
The three Taoists who were listening to the sermon under the Bodhi Dharma Platform were horrified. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from their foreheads, and their magical powers were trembling slightly.
It is difficult to have peace of mind if your mind is not calm.
The pure and flawless spiritual world of the three Taoists was stained with a little dust at this moment!
"There is no self, no person, no sentient being, no life. Why? The self is both the state and non-state. The person, sentient being, and life are both the state and non-state. Why? Because they are free from all states..."
The voice of the Taoist Cundi sounded again, the flowers of the Bodhi tree were still blooming, Jie Yin lay down on his right side again with his feet tired, having a great dream of the precious blue lotus.
In the lotus pond, the twelve golden lotuses shine brightly, and water from the pool of merit rises and falls like rain, cleansing the ten directions.
The three Taoists listened attentively and were very happy.
A crystal clear relic of precious light condensed in their bodies.
The vast Dharma is righteous and pure, the golden light illuminates the heavens, and the rolling sound washes away the dust, and the spiritual platform that has just been stained with dust is once again spotless.
"now!"
Among the three Taoists, Ksitigarbha in a bright crown and feathered robe shouted loudly, and a golden body appeared. The glazed divine light shone brightly, and the relics in his body were clearly visible.
"good!"
The Taoist Master Zhunti was extremely happy, and the Taoist Master Jie Yin was smiling.
"Congratulations, junior brother, on entering the Tao!" Maitreya was in a friendly mood, and his smile did not increase or decrease in the slightest.
The Medicine Master's eyes were filled with envy, but his tone was sincere, "Congratulations to you, Senior Brother, for achieving the Daluo fruit position. It is me, Junior Brother, who has fallen behind."
The joy in Dizang's heart was well expressed by the smile on his face. He quickly saluted the Dharma Platform and also saluted his fellow disciples.
Then he looked at the pharmacist and said, " Don't worry, Junior Brother. I am just one step ahead. With your talent, you are not far from entering the Dao."
"Then I will take advantage of your good wishes, brother?" The pharmacist bowed happily.
Ksitigarbha nodded, turned to face the Bodhi Dharma Platform, and bowed again, saying, "Ksitigarbha has something unclear in his mind, please enlighten me, Master."
"Just say it." Taoist Zhunti was well prepared.
Seeing that Ksitigarbha wanted to ask the Tao, Medicine Master and Maitreya sat upright and concentrated their minds. They also had a lot of doubts in their hearts!
Dizang pondered for a moment, weighed the words, and asked, "The Bodhi tree stands on the sacred mountain, shining light in all directions. It has always been full of beautiful leaves and green branches, but today the leaves and flowers have suddenly fallen. I wonder why?"
"Fool, Bodhi is a tree. There is no Bodhi tree. Flowers bloom and fall, leaves grow and wither. What difference does it make whether it is evergreen or not?" Zhunti said with a smile.
"Then Master usually teaches us that when practicing Taoism, we should cultivate purity and tranquility. Why does Uncle Master look angry?" The Medicine Master could not help but ask.
Jie Yin lay in bed without changing his mind, and Zhunti replied calmly, "Movement and stillness are one, and one thought can change. My Western Dharma cultivates compassion and tranquility, but it also has the angry eyes of a diamond. Cultivating tranquility is the way, and cultivating anger is also the way!"
The corner of Dizang's mouth twitched, and he said, "So, just now, Master was so still that he wanted to move, and was cultivating the angry-eyed Vajra appearance?"
"Yes."
“…”
Master, although what you said makes sense, I still feel like something is wrong!
Dizang thought about it again and again, and asked again: "My disciple is dull, if I cannot achieve a single thought of movement and stillness when practicing this method, and instead I am always angry?"
Master, you and your uncle have boundless magical powers and can control “movement” and “stillness” with a thought, but I cannot control it!
Taoist Zhunti pondered for a moment and gave earnest instructions.
"All appearances are false. All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. If you are confused, you should view them like this!"
If there is Dharma, there is no Dharma; if there is no Dharma, there is form as well as no form; and if there is no form, there is form.
No matter what the method or form is, as long as you can use it, it’s fine. But if you have any questions, please refer to the previous sentence.
That’s all I have to say as a teacher. You can figure it out on your own!
“Hiss~~”
Dizang was horrified when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then asked, "Even if the spirit platform is pure and spotless, it will be stained by dust one day. What should we do in this case?"
Master, this is the truth, but if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet . You are not unaware of the situation outside.
The Tao grows and the devil disappears. Now, practicing the devil's way is hated by the world!
If I get caught one day, I'll be finished! So please give me another trick, I don't want to be beaten to death.
At this time, Jie Yin of the Great Dream suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly: "Always wipe it frequently, don't let it collect dust!"
It doesn't matter if it's stained with mud or dust, just wash and wipe it more often. Hey~ it's still white, who can tell!
What's wrong with practicing the magic method? As long as others can't see it, there's no way to expose it.
Of course, if someone sees you, it doesn’t matter, you can just “wipe” the other side.
Dizang seemed to understand something, but he was a little confused and said: "Master often said: 'I see 48,000 insects in a drop of water'."
Master, what if the opponent is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and there seems to be only one person, but there are a bunch of old monsters behind him?
I'm afraid I can't win!
Zhunti Taoist comforted him: "If there is kindness in your heart, it is the sacred mountain."
There's nothing to be afraid of. If you can't defeat them, we are still here. Your master and uncle will always be your strongest support.
Whatever you want to do, just do it boldly!
Ksitigarbha suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart disappeared. The majestic golden body suddenly showed a ferocious appearance.
"This is my Western Relics Golden Body, the angry-looking Vajra!" There was no joy or sadness on his face, and the aura around him became more and more mysterious, and his cultivation reached a new level.
"Great kindness!"
The Taoist Master Zhunti clapped his hands and laughed. He was quite satisfied with Ksitigarbha. This was obviously a great thing!
"Master, uncle, I feel a sense of destiny and want to go down the mountain." Ksitigarbha's heart moved and he asked to go down the mountain.
"oh?"
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other, then nodded and agreed: "You have entered Daluo, it is indeed time to go out for a walk."
"Thank you, Master!"
Dizang bowed three times and retreated, going straight down Lingshan Mountain.
After Dizang left, Maitreya also took Medicine Master to say goodbye: "Master, Uncle Master. Then the two of us will also withdraw?"
"Go, go!"
After the three disciples had left, a sound was heard under the Bodhi tree.
"Brother, it seems we still need to improve. This time we've revealed our true colors. Fortunately, we're in Lingshan, otherwise..."
“That’s true. We can’t just think about combining Luohou’s teaching of cultivating the devil in the heart of Tao with Daozu’s teaching of beheading the three corpses.
You should also try to absorb their knowledge and find your own way. In my opinion, the way of the relic golden body is very suitable..."
"I think so too. Also, this kid Jizo is pretty good. We need to train him well..."
The Taoist Jie Yin nodded, and he also had high hopes for Ksitigarbha.
"Oh, by the way, I just saw Dizang heading towards the Sea of Blood."
"Brother, you are right. He is heading to the Sea of Blood."
"Nothing will happen?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
"But I seemed to see Sister Nuwa also went to the Sea of Blood."
“…”
Brother, why didn’t you tell me earlier!!!
The Taoist Master Zhunti stood up instantly.
