Volume 6: Future, Interlude 3, Great Change Chapter 16 Enlightenment
If charity is divided into material charity and Dharma charity, then stinginess should also be divided into two types.
Material charity is giving away one’s external things, while Dharma charity is giving away one’s inner self.
But the essence of these two kinds of charity is actually to see oneself clearly through the act of giving.
The existence of external objects will affect oneself, making it impossible for one to recognize oneself clearly and to attain enlightenment.
The same is true internally, people’s thoughts and knowledge are too mixed.
Are these thoughts caused by interference, or do they come from one's most instinctive wishes?
All of this is hard to know.
Only when we pass on these ideas and knowledge to others, or help others with our own actions, can we gradually see our inner essence by using others as a mirror.
Therefore, the nine kinds of precepts, renunciation, patience, etc. that follow the Ten Paramitas, although giving seems to require the participation of outsiders, are actually behaviors that concern oneself the most.
By giving away everything you have, you can see the difference between yourself and others.
Although the Ten Avoidances of Obstacles are the opposite of the Ten Paramis, this opposite is not completely reversed. It is more like a mirror image, with two sides of the same coin.
The ten ways to avoid obstacles should also be focused on oneself.
"But there is one key point, which is that these ten obstacles should be based on the skill of the Great Red Dragon."
“There has to be a connection between the two.”
The great red dragon with seven ten horns, the seven heads represent the seven deadly sins.
The ten horns are located above the seven heads, and the specific divisions are roughly three double horns and four single horns.
However, this is only a physical connection, the internal connection also needs to keep up.
It is not too difficult to link the Ten Obstacles to the Seven Deadly Sins.
For example, stinginess can be linked to gluttony and greed.
“We should also seek help from Buddhism.”
"Original sin is the cause, and the ten hindrances are not the result, but karma. What is finally obtained from the ten hindrances is the result."
“Karma, karma, that’s actually a good thing.”
"The final result is the entire big red dragon, which is Po Xun!"
Thus, the theoretical basis of demonology and the Great Red Dragon Po Jun was completed.
Of course, to accomplish all this, the most critical point lies in several corresponding modules.
The seven deadly sins have a clear ranking order, with pride at the highest and lust at the bottom.
At this moment, Lu Bai only had rage, jealousy, laziness and lust.
There are still three modules missing.
"If I wait any longer, there may not be any chances. I have to take the initiative to create them myself."
“This probably requires a ceremony.”
After deciding on his own path, Lu Bai drank the wine in the glass.
It just so happened that Yuhui over there had just finished arguing with someone.
The two of them were not in a hurry to return to Yongfeng City, but followed You Fei to the next city.
Then he received an unprecedented reception.
I have to say that Liu doesn't need that kid's so-called high-end stuff, which is a joke in the next city.
Here, Lu Bai also tried out the newly added big red dragon head.
Among these, lust is very interesting, and it is not just "sex". Because of the existence of the Six Desires Sutra, Lu Bai can sense that lust is more of a stimulation of the physical senses.
Therefore, after summoning the red dragon head belonging to "lust", it is different from the furious fire breath and the jealous fission ray.
The breath of lust is the breath of bestiality. Any creature attracted by the light emitted from the red dragon's head will go berserk and complete the bestiality, thus becoming the big red dragon's most valued lackey.
Laziness is obviously slackness, cowardice, irresponsibility, etc., so the breath formed is the light of exile. Things that are hit will be cut off from the current space and thus be exiled.
Among them, Lu Bai used the [Gravity] module, but he used it in reverse to cut off the gravity between things.
As we all know, according to the general theory of relativity, gravity is closely related to time and space.
Some people can even go to heaven by relying on gravity.
Then after all gravity is cut off, it is very reasonable to be exiled from space.
During this process, Lu Bai also discovered the karma caused by lust.
That is the "venting" that corresponds to "patience" in the Ten Paramitas.
It was at this time that Lu Bai had some understanding of giving.
Among the ten paramis, giving actually runs through the whole process, and the common point among them is to help sentient beings.
The Bodhisattva’s attitude towards Parami is that even if he does not practice other Parami, he must at least practice the Parami of giving.
The paramita of giving is the behavior that has the deepest connection with the outside world, and all other paramitas are used to cultivate oneself.
On the other hand, being stingy is actually a way to cultivate oneself, while other ways to avoid obstacles are related to connection with the outside world.
Therefore, stinginess should be treated like charity, throughout the entire process of avoiding obstacles. For example, when lust is regarded as the original sin and venting is regarded as karma, one should also be stingy, otherwise venting will hurt oneself.
This is actually not conducive to avoiding obstacles.
"Paramita and freedom from obstacles are two sides of the same coin, and so are generosity and stinginess." Lu Bai seemed to have realized something and had a clear idea of what to do next.
After enjoying himself, Lu Bai chose to return to Yongfeng City.
However, he did not rush into the city, but waited in the dense forest outside the city.
After sending away a few savages, Lu Bai finally waited for the person who was supposed to come.
Wu Zu still had that fox-like form.
But the aura all over his body is completely different.
It was obvious that he had been waiting for this battle for a little too long.
Wu Zu did not take the initiative to attack, but was waiting for an opportunity. He was different from Lu Bai.
Although Lu Bai has a strong body, he is still a mortal after all.
His body will undergo various changes over time, such as getting hungry.
But Wu Zu is different. Although he appears to have a physical body, in fact, this body is composed entirely of energy.
In other words, he is now an energy life form. Unless he is injured and the energy structure of his body is destroyed, his state will not change at all and is very stable.
At this moment, Wu Zu responded to all changes with the same attitude.
Lu Bai knew what Wu Zu was planning, but he had no intention of dragging it out any longer.
He could spend a whole day with Wu Zu, but when he had the free time, he would go back to hug Hu Niu and pet the big cat, or replenish the magic of the angel, or if that didn't work, he would try to explore the internal structure of Jiang Yue's artificial human, or have a wild battle with Weiwei.
It's better than being stuck here with a fox for the whole day.
So Lu Bai took the initiative.
The moon phase appears behind him, and the normal starting move is: Magic Light Appears!
Wu Zu grinned, and a large amount of thunder burst out from it. It was the Thunder Breaking Evil that he had carefully researched to restrain Lu Bai's starting move!
The lightning pierced through the magic light, and the fox instantly disappeared from Lu Bai's sight.
