Chapter 477 Enlightenment of the Buddhist scriptures
The Demon Suppressing Tower is a world of its own, and there is no distinction between day and night here.
The Qin Yue brothers and sisters estimated that about a week had passed by based on the number of times they vomited.
During this week, the stone stairs leading to the lower level never appeared. Several powerful ancient monsters appeared one after another, but Qin Yue killed them with ease.
Qin Lan still underestimated the gap between himself and his eldest brother. Except for his mother, absolutely no one among the saints in Jiuyou City could beat his eldest brother.
According to Qin Yue, he has already detected every plant and tree on the fifth floor. The conditions leading to the lower floor must be found on this stone platform and cannot be found anywhere else.
"Brother, maybe the stairs will only appear after we visit the Buddha statue."
Qin Yue slowly shook his head.
"After worshiping the Buddha statue, you and I will definitely be in a state of confusion. There is no need for Wanfo Mountain to harm us brothers and sisters in this way."
Qin Yue's determination was also based on his understanding of his former master. With that person's cultivation, even if he wanted to kill him now, it would be like trampling an ant to death. Since he guided himself to break into the Demon Suppression Tower, there must be something
Its profound meaning.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yue said in a deep voice: "It should be those runes."
Qin Lan agreed with his elder brother's judgment. On this stone platform, apart from the Buddha statues, only the golden runes were the most eye-catching.
In fact, Qin Yue had already guessed this. The reason why he did not study the runes in detail was because he understood what those runes were.
That is a Buddhist scripture, a scripture that countless eminent monks in Wanfo Mountain have written down over countless thousands of years. The purpose of setting up this level in Wanfo Mountain is self-evident.
Anyone who comes here, even if he does not worship Buddha statues or enter Buddhism, will inevitably have his thoughts subtly influenced by Buddhism after reading these Buddhist scriptures.
This is the conspiracy of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain. They allow monks from all over the world to come and take the creations in the pagoda, but they never want the monks who take the creations to have evil thoughts and harm the people. Therefore, they want to instill the Buddhist scriptures of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain into the passers-by.
Qin Lan frowned slightly after listening to his elder brother's analysis.
She asked: "Brother, do the monks in Wanfo Mountain think that the world's good and evil can be completely changed by reading a few lines of their Buddhist scriptures?"
Qin Yue's eyes turned to the statue of the Formless Buddha again.
"There is this Buddha guarding here. If we only read the text without understanding its meaning, we will not be able to pass the test."
Qin Lan suddenly understood. To pass the fifth level, one must have a deep understanding of the Buddhist scriptures in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain. It is not enough to read them all. This will provide a layer of insurance for the psyche of those who pass the level.
In other words, only those approved by the Formless Buddha can enter the sixth level.
Qin Lan looked at her eldest brother. She understood his concerns. After reading through the Buddhist scriptures in Wanfo Mountain, all the thoughts in their brothers and sisters' minds will be affected by it. They may even have the idea of escaping into Buddhism.
After all, these are Buddhist scriptures from the Ten Thousand Fos Mountains, not comparable to those in the mortal world. There may also be scriptures written by the two Golden Buddhas from the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountains. Those scriptures are enough to change the original intentions of low-level monks like them.
After a while, Qin Yue spoke slowly, "I must pass the fifth level. If I choose to stay here soon, neither you nor your father will be entangled with Wanfo Mountain anymore."
Qin Yue has read the Buddhist scriptures of Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain since he was a child, so he would never dare to underestimate this level. Moreover, he knows better than anyone else the unfathomable strength of his former master. If the one who did all this is
In order to save him and enter Buddhism, he had no ability to resist.
If he was destined to be unable to escape the old drunkard's scheme, Qin Yue was willing to use his body to exchange for his father and sister to leave Wanfo Mountain safely. He made this decision from the moment he saw Qin Lan. He didn't want his sister to
Also involved in this cause and effect.
"Brother!" Qin Lan bit his lower lip, "Let me study these Buddhist scriptures."
Qin Yue joked: "If you become a nun here, you will never be able to see that kid again."
"Brother..."
Qin Yue smiled and said, "How do you know these scriptures? My elder brother has been deceived by the evil man since he was a child. He is familiar with Sanskrit and Buddhist seals and has read many Buddhist scriptures."
Qin Yue touched his sister's long hair again and said softly: "Help my elder brother protect the law and drive away those monsters that come to make trouble."
Qin Lan stared at Qin Yue blankly, his eyes slightly red.
At this moment, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds between heaven and earth, and dazzling Buddha light emitted from the statue of the Formless Buddha. The Buddha statue seemed to have sensed Qin Yue's decision.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yue's mouth. He remembered the divination that Qi Daozi in the Valley of Love had divined for him. He was born with the destiny of a chaotic demon. If Wanfo Mountain wanted to save a chaotic demon into Buddhism, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.
easy.
Qin Yue turned into a red light and appeared at the bottom of the stone platform.
Soon, the few lines of Buddhist scriptures in front of him turned from gold to red.
The first chapter he meditated on was the Heart Sutra. Qin Yue had long memorized this Buddhist sutra. An old drunkard once explained it to him personally.
It only took a stick of incense for the entire "Heart Sutra" runes to turn blood red.
Later, Qin and Yue studied the Huayan Sutra and the Ullana Sutra.
These two Buddhist scriptures are also the most widely circulated Buddhist scriptures.
Next is a "Diamond Sutra".
The "Diamond Sutra" circulated in the world is a derivative of this sutra. The "Diamond Sutra" engraved on this stone platform cannot be seen by non-soul realm monks.
Different people will have different understandings of the same Buddhist scriptures. The depth of understanding depends entirely on the Buddha nature and understanding of the person who comprehends it.
Enlightenment.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, the key is the word "enlightenment".
"Enlightenment" does not rely on accumulation, but on sudden enlightenment at a certain moment.
If you can't understand it, then the Buddhist scriptures are just a collection of obscure words.
Therefore, the condition for passing the fifth level is the word "enlightenment".
Qin Yue can turn all the scriptures he has read into red, which means that he has his own opinions on every scripture. His "enlightenment" is obviously not the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures.
In Qin Yue's view, Buddhist scriptures have no true meaning.
"All appearances are false..."
Qin Yue whispered to himself. He didn't seem to understand.
In the eyes of Buddhists, everything is caused by cause and effect. Every flower, tree, mountain, and stone are all caused by cause and effect. They will regard a person's cultivation as the accumulation of many opportunities and causes.
Dependent origination and cessation are the life of a human being.
Qin Yue has heard of these Buddhist scriptures. After all, he is a monk who grew up in the East. Qin Yue has always maintained an attitude of standing on the outside and watching from the outside when it comes to Buddhist thought.
The land where humans live is too big. Following the old drunkard, Qin Yue has seen too much of the world. He knows that Dongtu’s thoughts cannot represent the entire world.
In southern Xinjiang, people believe in ghosts and gods even more, because the ghost world is full of lonely ghosts who do not want to be reincarnated.
In ancient times, demons and beasts only believed in themselves. They believed that heaven and earth should be one with their bodies. Therefore, they transformed themselves into the avenue of heaven and earth through body refining.
In fact, the whole world is just like a scripture. Different people will have different insights when they read it. It is impossible to determine which person's understanding is the ultimate meaning of this book. Buddhist thought is only a partial understanding of this scripture.
It's just an interpretation.
After reading the Diamond Sutra, all the scriptures on one side of the huge stone platform turned completely red.
Qin Yue didn't realize anything special. He could still stand outside Buddhism and be a sober spectator.
Qin Yue suddenly remembered his former master. He was sure that the old man was a Buddhist monk. But on the surface, he seemed to have nothing to do with Buddhism. At least according to the Buddhist rules, he had
Most of them don't comply.
A person who drinks alcohol, eats meat, and grows his hair can also become an eminent monk in Wanfo Mountain. This shows that the door of Buddhism in Wanfo Mountain is not narrow and open only to monks who eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
