Chapter 151: Hell is Made by the Heart

The old soul on the Three Lives Stone, admire the moon and sing the wind, don’t talk about it. I am ashamed of my old friends to visit each other from afar, although this body has always been around the opposite sex. The past and future affairs are in absent, and I want to talk about my marriage. I have searched all over Wuyue Mountains and rivers, but I have returned to Qutang on the smoke boat.

Standing in front of the Three Lives Stone, my thoughts were like a tide. Who could be connected with me to determine the Three Lives? Tan Min is naturally the existence I long for the most, but as the saying goes, "I shave my head and pick my head," although I treat her like a goddess, but she is neither lukewarm to me nor shows that special feeling towards me at all. At most, she treats me as an acquaintance.

Will that be Li Ting, the lonely lotus that has turned into a little red lotus and returned to my body? Or Fei Fei, who has had a lingering night with me? It won’t be them, I know very well in my heart that they can arouse my homicide, but that is not true love.

Bai Wuchang seemed to be able to understand my thoughts and said with a smile: "King Ming should not get troubles. Before the Three Life Stone, marriage has long been destined. For the unmoved Ming King's illusion body, you can achieve the right result after several disasters. Don't have troubles for everything on the surface."

Bai Wuchang's words suddenly touched my heartstrings and made me feel enlightened. "Three Lives" originated from the Buddhist theory of causal reincarnation, and the Three Lives Stones purchased by people in reality are produced on the Jiuxian Mountain in the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. The legendary immortal old man Yuanchi is also a representative of Taoism.

After a long-term evolution of China's religious culture, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have penetrated into each other and become identical to each other, and to some extent, the Three Life Stone is a kind of spiritual stone. What are the "evil" and "noble" in front of the Three Life Spirit Stone that combines "Buddha, Taoism", "humanity" and "heavenly"?

Buddhism emphasizes "governing the mind", Confucianism calls it "correcting the mind", Taoism pursues "refining the mind". Behind this, Confucianism talks about "governing the world", Taoism talks about "governing the body", and Buddhism talks about "governing the mind".

To put it another way, the three schools of life summarized. Confucianism talks about "how can you know death if you don't know life?" and "to take care of yourself and help the world." Don't be obsessed with things in the clouds, but pay attention to the cultivation of the present world; Taoism talks about "exploding changes" and strive to understand the laws of change in the world and society; Buddhism talks about "dependence on origin and emptiness in nature", and don't be confused by the complex phenomena of the external world.

Therefore, the Three Lives Stone, which combines the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is itself the essence of the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. In reality, people wear the Three Lives Stones as a physical form of real reality that can enlighten the Dharma and correct the mind, drive away evil, and place hope.

As I knew it in my heart, I nodded and thanked Bai Wuchang, and asked softly: "Master Wuchang, where are you trying to take me?"

Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "King Ming, you are not sympathetic, and cannot bear to disperse Ding Xiaomei's soul, but want her to understand how she died so that she can relieve her resentment so that she can enter the underworld and be reincarnated as a human being? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has long known your compassion, so he ordered Hei Wuchang and the ghosts of Ding Xiaomei to come to the underworld for a trip."

I said in surprise: "Is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also in this underworld? I once heard from Zen Master Zhikong that hell is a filthy and evil place. Although Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can go to heaven and earth, they can never go to hell, so as not to contaminate the foul air of hell. "

Bai Wuchang respectfully said: "The Buddha Shakyamuni was born in the filthy world, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was determined to imitate the Buddha's Dharma, promote the Dharma in the filthy and evil land, and save sentient beings. Therefore, many people think that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the true spiritual successor of the Buddha."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has practiced for countless kalpas and has long reached the Buddha's wisdom sea, and has fulfilled his merits and should have achieved the Buddha's fruit. However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vowed to save all sentient beings, so he hidden his true merits and showed up everywhere to preach the Dharma and save sentient beings with his original vow and his supernatural powers."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is called the Great Compassion Bodhisattva and will never become a Buddha, not because of insufficient level or slacking practice, but because of great compassion and vows to transform sentient beings. Therefore, although the merits are equal to the Buddha, they do not appear in the Buddha's body and always save the sins and suffering sentient beings in the body of a Bodhisattva."

"I have not yet passed away, and I will not become a Buddha. Only when all sentient beings are saved will I attain Bodhi." I blurted out a couplet on both sides of the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva that I saw in the Buddhist temple.

Bai Wuchang looked at me with approval and said, "The people mentioned King Yama is the common name for the Ten Palaces of Yama. The leader of the Netherworld Sect is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The people in charge of the affairs of the underworld are King Guang of Qin, King Jiang of Chu, Emperor Song of Song, King of Jiguan, King of Yama, King of Biancheng, King of Taishan, King of Urban, King of Equality, and King of Wheels. These ten kings live on the ten palaces of hell, so they are called King of Hell."

I was shocked and said, "Master Wuchang, are you going to take me to see Yan Jun?"

Bai Wuchang said: "King Ming, you were born in this world just to go through all the disasters and achieve the right result. When you die, you will also be free from your troubles and do not enter hell. Therefore, the leader of the Netherworld Sect gave instructions that you do not have to take you to meet Yan Jun. It is just that you have to let Ding Xiaomei's ghost understand how he died, so you must come to the first palace, King Qin Guang, Jiang."

"King Qin Guang Jiang? Is the King of Yan Luo in the first hall of the Yinsi? Where can we go to see him?" I asked curiously and excitedly.

Bai Wuchang smiled without saying a word, but just pointed forward with his hand. I suddenly saw a large-scale but yin-like palace suddenly appeared in front of me.

I looked at the palace curiously, and suddenly I found a platform about one meter tall next to the palace, with a mirror made of some magnitude of 10 meters above it.

I saw the mirror hanging eastward, and the yin and yang energy inside were circling. There was a horizontal plaque on it with seven big words written: There is no good person in front of the evil mirror platform.

I immediately understood that this is the evil mirror platform of the Yin Si in the folk legend.

Bai Wuchang slowly said: "After a mortal dies, the soul enters the gate of hell. If a person who does good things in his life is immeasurable, he can be reborn in the Western Paradise or reincarnated as a human being after he dies after he dies. If he is an evil person, he will be judged by the ten palaces of the king of hell and be sent to the relevant hell for torture based on the severity of the evil acts committed in the Yang world."

"Some people who have slightly less sinful sins can escape from hell and enter the six realms of reincarnation after being punished by one or two hells. Those who have great sins can be tortured by several hells. Those who have extreme sins can be punished by eighteen hells and are sent to the Avici Hell, and will never be reincarnated."

The six realms are: one, the way of heaven; two, the way of human beings; three, the way of Shura; four, the way of animals; five, the way of hungry ghosts; six, the way of hell. The six realms are also called the six realms, six ordinary or six realms of reincarnation, which is the way of reincarnation for sentient beings. The six realms can be divided into three good paths and three evil paths. The three good paths are heaven, human, and Asuras; the three evil paths are animals, hungry ghosts, and hell."

"The Buddhists pay attention to the word "cause and effect", and everything has cause and effect. Those who can enter the three good paths of reincarnation are because their good deeds are greater than their bad deeds; those who enter the three evil paths of reincarnation are more serious than their good deeds. All sentient beings who are submerged in segmented life and death will not go out of the six realms."
