Nine years, how many nine years are there in life? Li Su doesn't know, but he has lived a very comfortable life in these nine years.
Basically no one bothered him, except for Fazhao who came to him from time to time, as if he had been forgotten. The only thing that was worse was probably the Dharma names headed by Fazhao who were hostile to him because of Fazhao.
There are five people: Fa Nan, Fa Hui and Fa Yun.
I didn't laugh, I really didn't laugh...
Suddenly I feel that the name Fahai is actually quite good. Do you think so too?
In the first three years, when Fake and the others came over, Li Su thought for a while and performed a trick of chopping bricks with his bare hands. The five-inch thick green brick was chopped off by him with one palm, and he used it to destroy the dilapidated wall next to it.
In addition, Fake and the others walked past Li Su with a look of horror on their faces as they approached in a menacing manner.
Although there are magic spells, they cannot be eaten as food.
Especially the Pure Land Sect's spells, although there are many variations, generally speaking, they don't pay much attention to defense. Oh, it's not that they don't pay attention, but it's better to use brute force to prevent monsters.
So looking at their fists which were bigger than a casserole, they gave up.
So, three years later, Fake and the others came again. This time, they were really confident.
The main reason is that the Dao fruit blooms, with two and a half flowers blooming, and the strength has greatly improved, and I have absolute confidence and confidence.
In desperation, Li Su could only look at the bronze tripod in the hall, which weighed about two thousand kilograms. He looked embarrassed that the foot of the tripod could not be swept away. Then he picked up the bronze tripod and put it aside with his hands.
After cleaning the four corners, put them back.
Seeing the expressions of suspicion on the five people's faces, Li Su said hello with a smile and walked out.
Now three years have passed, and Li Su is still the same sweeping monk. I heard that Dharma Guest and others have already bloomed three flowers. They went out to practice to subjugate demons more than half a year ago. In other words, they came back this time.
You should have sufficient confidence and confidence.
Touching his chin, Li Su felt a little uncomfortable.
For the sake of the harmony of the sect, in order not to hurt the self-esteem of the disciples, and more importantly to be able to complete this life safely, he felt that he had tried his best, very, very hard.
I have picked up the two thousand kilograms of copper cauldron. This can be regarded as a magical power. What should I do next?
You can't just lift a building and put on a show, right? It's not that Li Su can't do it, but it doesn't look like it can be done by someone who hasn't blossomed, right?
Alas, it is so difficult for me...
That’s right, Li Su still hasn’t bloomed.
It took him nine years just to take root. Although it has not bloomed yet, it is almost done. The roots of the Dao Fruit have already crowded his body, and all the meridians in his body, even the capillaries, have turned into rhizomes.
Fortunately, this is the Tao and Fruit, the meaning of the soul, which is imaginary but not real. Otherwise, it would need to be X-rayed, and I'm afraid it would scare someone to death.
It's almost ready to bloom.
Probably during these recent times.
Once it blooms and the Tao Fruit appears, Li Su can begin to practice Vajra Power, Dragon Power, and the Secret of Immortality.
Although the Pure Land Sect also has two top sutras, the Infinite Life Sutra and the Infinite Life Sutra, he has no intention of learning them.
Why?
Very simple.
The Amitabha Sutra focuses on the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, while the other two sutras focus on the Buddha.
Although the Buddhist Kingdom and the Buddha both share the magical power of Buddhism, they are very different in nature.
The Amitabha Sutra teaches that the heart is a pure land, with a Buddhist kingdom built within it, transforming the world.
And the Buddha..., Avalokitesvara is the Buddha's path, and the Infinite Life Buddha is the Buddha. I won't mention the profound aspects. To put it simply, both of them practice the emptiness of the four elements, cut off the body's desires, and purify the mind. It is also like the Tao.
The method of planting demons in the heart has a great influence on the soul. This is not to say that it is not good. In fact, it can break the foundation and achieve great freedom. For Li Su, the approximate impact is to return to the original intention of a child, true love and true nature, and not to be affected by all things.
Is it a bit mysterious to move? It's okay. Let me give you a simple explanation. It is equivalent to getting a BUFF that forces calmness. Oh, it is not the kind of calm BUFF that will be cut off when thoughts arise, but the desire will not rise.
A persistent BUFF.
Are you kidding me? The poor monk has a wife. In reality, there is a lovely senior sister waiting for him when he returns. How could he become a Buddha?
Someone here may want to ask, if the mind is not pure, how can we uphold Buddhahood?
So let me tell you, you are wrong.
Buddha is the state of mind, the fundamental pursuit, and the understanding of desire. It is not controlled and does not sink. The mind is above lust and can be liberated.
The kind of abandonment of family, family ties, friends, and even one's own life is the fundamentally crooked way.
The saying that you can immediately become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife has also been misinterpreted by most people. You will become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife? How can anything in the world be so cheap? The knife put down here is the butcher's knife in the heart.
However, as soon as the knife in my heart is released, guilt arises, filling my heart, and I can't extricate myself. I want to be forgiven, and I need forgiveness, forgiveness from the living, forgiveness from the dead, and forgiveness from my own heart.
Living people are easy to seek, dead people are easy to understand, but the original heart is difficult to break.
Basically, it is difficult to solve the knot of not dying once. Because it is not only a knot of heart, but also a knot of cause and effect. The Buddha's alms bowl was so good that he couldn't help but break it to avoid missing him in his heart. It is a simple knot of cause and effect such as life and death of others.
Just put it down and it will be gone? So for things like murder and committing crimes, it is better to turn yourself in. This is faster than cultivating anything else. (Well, the above is just the author's own understanding of Buddhism...)
Therefore, when Li Su cultivates Buddhism, he upholds the Buddha’s mind rather than the Buddha’s behavior.
He does not want to achieve Buddhahood, but wants to have a clear mind. Therefore, he cannot practice the other two parts of the Amitabha Sutra.
After practicing, he is still himself, but he is no longer him. Moreover, that kind of practice is not only fruitless, but can even easily trigger inner demons. Although Li Su does not want to transcend himself, he does not want to sink...
Basically speaking, this person has the enlightenment of Buddha, but at most he can reach Arhat status in his heart, and he cannot become a Bodhisattva. In a word, he is greedy for the natural things...
Well, back to the topic.
The lotus was about to bloom, and Li Su was not only looking forward to it, but what he understood was that through his talent and Taoism, he could see the root, which is to say a pure land.
Undoubtedly, this is the highest dharma of the Amitabha Sutra, the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom!
For a moment, Fake and Li Su all forgot about it and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to tying up the last rhizome and guiding themselves to blossom.
Oh, right.
By the way, after nine years, Fa Zhao's performance is incredible, quite extraordinary.
Amazing talent, the World Honored One is reincarnated.
Nine years have passed, and now I have begun to practice the Infinite Life Sutra and realize the Buddha's path. Five lotus flowers are actually blooming on the lotus platform, turning into a number of ninety-six, which is extremely amazing.
In the Lotus Sect's Taoist Fruit, one lotus petal is one great power. Three-nine-one lotuses have twenty-seven great powers, and five-nine-one lotuses have forty-five great powers. Five fifty-nine lotus flowers have two hundred and twenty-five great powers, which is almost equivalent to
The ordinary situation of nine lotuses and three nines can be said to be terrifying.
Now the little monk has turned into a handsome monk, a contemporary Buddhist disciple of the Dharma generation, shining brightly.
The time for visiting Li Su has also become less and less. It used to be once a day for more than an hour at a time, but now it is once a week.
Although I don’t know why the other party is so awesome, I still come to him every week. This is not good, but at least the number of times has been reduced, right?
However, what makes Li Su a little troubled is that in the past six months, it seems that not only the Dharma Note Conference has come, but also a lot of Dharma disciples have come when he comes, and there are more and more people rushing around.
Then a bunch of people sat together and listened to him reciting the Amitabha Sutra without asking for anything else.
After all, most of you have already practiced the Infinite Life Sutra, so what are you doing here to listen to my Amitabha Sutra?
When I was chanting sutras, three thousand golden lotuses emerged from the ground and countless spiritual rains fell from the sky?
However, seeing that this group of people basically didn't bother him, Li Su simply ignored them.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Fazhao's voice sounded.
Li Su turned his head and couldn't help but sigh, he is already an adult.
The little guy who once smiled like a porcelain doll has now become a young man with beautiful features, graceful demeanor, and a Buddhist spirit. I have to say that the years have passed~ You are really a butcher's knife.
.., as long as you are a human being, you will cut off your youth and youth with one knife.
Behind him were a group of disciples from the Dharma generation.
Counting, I’m afraid not all the fourth generation disciples of the Pure Land Sect are here, right?
No, why do you see a few senior uncles standing inside? What are they doing here? It’s just a matter of reciting Buddhist scriptures among the disciples. Do the seniors have nothing to do? Are they here to join in the fun?
Also, you, it’s you, don’t think that I can’t see you if you stand behind me, Master, what are you doing? Junior abbot of the Pure Land Sect, you think that I can’t see you if you are hiding in the crowd? That’s teaching him Amitabha
The old monk who is a Buddhist monk has a kind face and is amiable. It is a pity that he is not as good as the monk Tianming who brings meat for himself.
Li Su twitched his lips, always feeling that his latent plan was going to run away, never to return.
it's okay no problem.
Everyone is just nice. After all, I have been practicing Buddhism for nine years and have not yet blossomed. The Pure Land Sect has a good atmosphere. Except for a few Dharma guests, most people focus on practicing Buddhism and being kind to others.
Li Su smiled and put down the broom. In the past six months, he had done it four times a week on average, and he was used to it.
It’s here, so just read it. It’s not a big deal anyway. After all, no matter how much you say, if it doesn’t blossom, what will you do?
*******
At this moment, outside the Pure Land Sect, five dusty young monks rushed back, and behind them, followed by a motorcade with dozens of people, standing a team flag, with the words "Western Zhejiang, Li."
They arrived at the Pure Land Sect one after another, and soon the five young monks went straight in and headed towards the inner courtyard of the Pure Land Sect.
And the team of people stopped, and a person got out of the carriage. She was a woman with a beautiful face, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyebrows.
With her appearance, the door of the Pure Land Sect temple opened wide, and a group of monks walked out, led by Master Chengyuan, the abbot of the Pure Land Sect.
"Qian Tanyue, this poor monk is polite."
"Master, can you understand my purpose?"
"The Pure Land Sect has understood Tan Yue's intention. We also invite Tan Yue and the poor monk to go to the courtyard together. Arrangements have been made to solve Tan Yue's troubles."
A slight smile appeared on the woman's worried face, which made her feel more at ease.
"Master, please lead the way." The woman nodded, then she looked at everyone in the convoy and said, "You can just wait here."
"Yes, ma'am!"
****
Pass through the temple gate, pass the main hall, and turn to the inner courtyard.
Master Chengyuan took the woman all the way directly to a high tower in the backyard of the Pure Land Sect, where you can see the resting place of the disciples below.
"Are there any events today?"
Although she was worried in her heart, looking at the large number of monks in front of the resting place of her disciples, the woman couldn't help but speak.
"Tan Yue, look at the center." Master Chengyuan smiled and pointed to the two young monks in the center who were surrounded by the crowd: "He is the person who was arranged by this temple to help Tan Yue solve the troubles at home."
The woman was startled, looked over immediately, and then frowned slightly.
Young monks? But... one of them is wearing brown monk robes and has an extraordinary temperament. Even if he is far away, you can still feel the boundless Buddhist energy in him.
The woman took a breath. She originally planned to solve the family problems at Longhu Mountain. Unfortunately, her mother believed in Buddhism and had no choice but to come to this pure land to seek help. Therefore, she hesitated: "Is that the little monk in brown robes? Master,
It’s not that I underestimate him, it’s just that what happened to my family is really difficult to solve. I have invited many experts, but they all failed, and many even lost their lives..."
The old monk smiled and said: "Don't worry, although Fa Zhao is not bad in talent, his understanding of Buddhism is not enough, and he has never been out of a temple, so he is not good at solving problems in this area."
"Ah?" The woman was startled. Isn't it that little monk? Who is that?
"It's the little guy next to him wearing gray monk robes."
The woman frowned and felt offended, thinking that the old monk was playing tricks on her. What happened at home was so troublesome that it disturbed the whole family. As a result, she came all the way to this place of Pure Land Sect, and the other party actually sent a Su
Se Sengyi was obviously just the lowest disciple, and she would not stop him from dying, but the most important thing to her was to solve the problem.
"Master, you..." The woman suddenly became angry.
The old monk smiled and said: "Tan Yue, don't be impatient, just wait and see..."
At the same time, the five young monks who returned were tired of their travels. After handing in their tasks, they immediately went straight to the backyard, planning to find Li Su.
Yes, it was the five little guys headed by Fake.
The originally tired people became more energetic as they got closer to the backyard, and they couldn't help but gear up.
This time, this time I must make Fa Hai look good.
Half a year of experience gave them full courage and confidence, and the shocking scene of Li Su lifting a two-thousand-jin copper tripod aside with one hand and then cleaning it was completely erased.
Compared to demons, what is Fahai?
So, five people rushed in.
Huh? Why are there so many people?
Looking at the monks sitting on the ground, including even a master of the generation named Cheng, the five of them couldn't help but be startled and a little surprised.
When they saw the Fa Zhao in the center, they couldn't help but wonder, was it Fa Zhao who was going to teach the Fa? As expected of his junior brother, he was getting more and more powerful. Even his uncle and the others couldn't help but come and listen.
Damn it, that bastard Fa Hai is obviously very poor in understanding, but he is lucky enough to be liked by Junior Brother Fazhao. Otherwise, how could that kind of guy be qualified to sit in the center?
Huh? The five of them were startled, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does it feel like Fahai is in the center instead of Fazhao?
"Fake, you are back!"
Hearing the movement behind them, the two disciples of the Fahai generation turned around and smiled immediately: "You guys, you are so lucky. Come on, come and sit down. Brother Fahai is giving a lecture. This is the greatest opportunity for our Pure Land Sect.
.”
Fahai lectures?
Wait a moment, wait a moment for me.
Junior brother, have you made a mistake? What's the use of an iron tree preaching?
"I really envy Brother Fazhao. I knew that Brother Fahai was extraordinary from the beginning and stayed with him for nine years. It's a pity that we only discovered Brother Fahai's amazing achievements in Buddhism half a year ago."
The junior brother talked to himself and took the monks and others to sit down.
Unable to hold back their enthusiasm, and with more and more eyes coming over them, the five Fa Kes, although full of doubts, suppressed it and sat down.
What's going on? I came back after being away for half a year, and the world has completely changed???
In the center, people were almost here. Li Su sighed and sat down. Although he didn't quite understand why everyone was so idle, he didn't see anything magical happening while chanting sutras, but it was like this. There was nothing he could do, so he just chanted. .
Seeing Li Su sitting cross-legged and holding flowers in both hands, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard suddenly changed. Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Fahai.
Li Su opened his mouth and began to sing softly: "I heard that at that time, the Buddha was in the Solitary Garden of the Kingdom of Savatthi. Together with 1,250 great monks, they were all great Arhats...!"
Accompanying his words, there were indeed no three thousand golden lotuses emerging from the earth, nor countless spiritual rains falling from the sky. It was just that the sutras were spit out along with it, mixed with Li Su's understanding of the Amitabha Sutra, and along with the words, visions appeared.
Above his head, a page of painting slowly unfolded. It was huge and boundless, like a world. The Buddha's light in the world was infinite. There were eight merit waters filling the four directions. The infinite light reflected the heavens. Five hundred Arhats and three thousand bhikshunis sat in it and chanted softly. , that is the pure land, that is the Buddhist country.
For a time, the Buddhist kingdom was shaken. Thousands of chanting voices coincided with Li Su's voice. Their voices contained great Buddhist principles. Along with Li Su's chanting, the sound was deafening.
The voice was obviously not loud, but as Li Su recited it, it actually covered the entire inner courtyard of the Pure Land Sect. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but shake the Tao Fruit, and the golden lotus inside couldn't help but glow and grow, making the Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom seem like Right before your eyes and in your heart.
At this moment, the five Dharma guests sitting in the back were filled with shock and disbelief. Then they felt ashamed and found it difficult to deal with themselves. The next moment, their souls were washed and they stepped into the land of bliss.
"Senior Brother Fahai is extraordinary. I am the Buddha, and that Senior Brother is the Buddha's Kingdom, and I am in it...!"
Fake and the others have not understood why Fazhao likes to be with Fahai so much, but now they finally understand.
I have been searching for it for half my life, but I don't expect that the pure land of Buddha is right in front of me.
Tears couldn't help but flow. The five of them suppressed their hearts tightly, not wanting to disturb that pure land because they cried.
On the high tower, Master Chengyuan looked at the woman with a smile, "Tan Yue, do you still have any questions?"
The woman's face was filled with tears. Her anxiety, panic, and uneasiness seemed to have been completely dispelled, and she arrived in the carefree pure land of rebirth.
"Is this Buddha?"
"That's the Buddha's land, where the Buddha is!"
"Thank you Master for your mercy!"
"Amitabha...!"
After almost an hour, Li Su successfully completed his work. He exhaled, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but look around for the first time. Yes, there was nothing strange at all... and the grass and trees did not grow taller. The flowers haven't bloomed yet, everything is as it was before, I just say it's ordinary...
Well, his vision of the Buddhist kingdom was a result of his state of mind, and before it blossomed, he naturally had no magical power. He could only feel the wonder of it through listening and seeing, but it had no actual impact.
However, when he raised his head and saw the disciples around him with their faces full of tears and moved with emotion, Li Su couldn't help but the corners of his eyes twitching wildly. This is chanting sutras, not pyramid schemes, or Butterfly Lovers...
You can understand it calmly, but what the hell is it with tears streaming down your face???
