Zhanshan Jingshe is a famous Buddhist temple in T city. The eminent monks from Zhanshan Temple in Qingdao actually traveled across the ocean from China in order to promote Buddhism. Although it has a short history, it is very popular and gives a small slice of Buddhist believers overseas.
Pure land.
It's really just a small piece of land. The land price in T City is too high, so they can only buy a small piece of land and build a complete temple in a limited space. From a domestic perspective, it is definitely small. But Guanyin Pavilion
There are many Luohan Hall and Tianwang Hall, and there is also an open space dedicated to the Earth God and the Five Gods of Wealth.
After entering the gate and parking the car, I started chewing Hanako. He just asked me to come to Zhanshan Jingshe to look for him, but didn’t tell me where he was. A staff member happened to run past me and was stopped by me. I thought
Lao Cao and the others stayed here, so they should have a fixed place to stay. I asked them if there were any people staying in the temple and where they usually lived. But who would have thought that he told me that there is no place to stay in the temple.
, to go out, drive in from the road next to it and go around to the back of the temple. Now some houses near the temple are sold and then bought by the temple. Before they are renovated, they are used by staff, or monks and lay people who live here. This
Routine, how can it be the same as Kui buying a house near me? Does Kui want to build a temple near me in the future?
After walking around eight times, I finally saw Lao Cao. This guy was sitting in the front yard drinking with a teapot. He looked like an ordinary old man. He looked like he was about 50 years old. I don’t know if he was.
It’s really 50. Now I don’t even dare to ask casually.
Old Cao looked at me and said, "I knew you would come."
"Why, can you pinch and count?"
"Is it so troublesome? Master told me." Alas, you really treat him as an expert, but who would have thought that he is also a fool.
"Actually, I don't have anything to do to come to you. I just feel that Taoist Master Xing asked me to come and ask you if I don't understand anything. You seem to have been living in T City, so you are easier to see."
"Master told me about you. You have opened your third eye. Now try it and see what you can see." Lao Cao pointed in the direction of the temple.
I turned back and rubbed my eyes, and saw the golden threads all over the sky. They were the same as the last time I saw Inari God, but the number was completely different. Under the golden thread net, some places glowed white, and some places glowed white.
It glows yellow. Then turn to the other side. Not far away is a Western church. There are also yellow lines connecting it, but the color is not as golden as the color in the temple, and it is more white.
"How far can you see?"
"It doesn't seem to be too far away. If you just look at the light, you can probably see 3 blocks, about 15 kilometers."
"That's right. I just opened my third eye and can see so far away. It's already very good. Let me explain to you systematically the cultivation rules and requirements of my Taoist lineage. Although you are not officially a religious person, there is no harm in knowing that
.”
"After I listen to Taoism, can I listen to other things?"
"You're talking about Kui and the others, right? In fact, they are pretty much the same, mainly because they have their own set of names. However, I want to remind you that only the methods of cultivation in the West are different from those in the East. Don't look at the people and demons in the East.
There are differences, but the essence of cultivation is the same, which is to cultivate one's own strength and realm. The cultivation methods of Western sects are different. Most of them talk about descending, not relying on one's own strength, but depending on the degree of one's compatibility with God.
The higher the degree of compatibility, the more divine power can be used. In layman's terms, it is like the divine power of our Taoist sect. So you should be careful when you meet the Holy See or something in the future."
"Will I meet people from the Holy See again in the future? Will they be enemies?"
"It's hard to say whether the enemy is an enemy or not, but we will definitely meet him. Have you met Peter?"
"Yes, he is from the Holy See?"
"He used to be a member of the Holy See. His ancestors were from the Teutonic Knights, but later the Teutonic Knights were disbanded, and their family became demon hunters. His method is still the one where blessings come.
It’s okay to deal with ordinary little monsters.”
"Then why did Kui seek cooperation with him?"
"Well...the current society is changing too fast, especially in the past 200 years, the rapid development of science and technology has affected demons and gods. And under the premise of globalization, demons and gods have actually begun to move around and communicate. In this region of the West
In the past, most of the monsters that were not systematically cultivated were spirits that became spirits naturally. They were not very intelligent, had few spells, and basically no magic weapons, so they were easy to deal with. But now it is no longer possible. The influx of a large number of Eastern monsters has brought
More advanced cultivation methods and magic weapons have arrived. So these demon hunters are a little overwhelmed and urgently need to find cooperation with Eastern practitioners. However, Eastern practitioners really look down on them and think they are wild.
It just so happened that Kui and the others had a demon study abroad program, so they hit it off right away with these demon hunters."
It seems that the demons also know how to change themselves and keep pace with the times. I really didn’t expect that they are forced by modern society? I asked curiously: "Then why do the demons want to study abroad? Change themselves?"
"Oh, earth, our human world, actually, there are going to be changes."
"The human world? Are there other worlds?"
"Yes, in fact, the world you see now is only a corner of the real world. In current scientific terms, it is a relatively low dimension. Other worlds are in different dimensions. Do you understand what I say? I don't understand.
What did I tell you about the myth of the Thirty-Third Heaven?"
"I know, we are in three dimensions."
"Yes, there are actually many levels of dimensions. I know that we have 4 and 5 dimensions above us. What you see with your third eye is the 4-dimensional space, which is full of variables of time and space. I don't know what the 5-dimension is, I just
I know a name. Let me ask you, are you sure you want to be a practitioner? This road is very difficult and will involve many things that cannot be explained by common sense." Lao Cao suddenly approached me and changed the topic.
"Do you see the choices I have? I have been involved in things that cannot be explained by common sense." I smiled bitterly. "I don't regret it. I have figured it out. Some things can't be stopped when they come. Maybe this is me.
fate."
"As long as you think so, let me tell you something, and you should be mentally prepared. In fact, the human world we see now is a corner of the entire world. In ancient times, there were terrible wars. The so-called gods...
To protect human beings, the human world is isolated. Don’t you think the ancient myths are very confusing? Kunlun Mountain, the Heavenly Palace, and even the paradise in the West are all said to have noses and eyes. Why can’t they be found now? In fact, they are all isolated.
Outside the human world."
"Then why the isolation?"
"Human beings are too fragile. When gods fight, mortals suffer, that's what it means. But humans are the foundation of every race, such as those who cultivate immortals, those who cultivate demons, and those who meditate. These are all different cultivation methods, but the foundation is the same.
people."
"What about the demon?"
"The demons are slightly different. The demon race is actually our companion race, just like the two sides of light and dark. The demons also have demons and demon immortals. This is just a difference in the way of cultivation. And most demons choose human form, because human beings
The body structure is most suitable for cultivation, and the ability of a demon is also determined by the ability to control its limbs. This is why Kui said that the ability level of the demon clan is calculated based on the limbs in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"Then now what do you mean when you say that the human world is going to change?"
"Don't you think that human evolution has been a bit fast in the past 200 years? According to the history of humankind's own research, it took millions of years to evolve uprightness, and hundreds of thousands of years before humans began to develop. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was called the Stone Age, and 6,000 years ago
Society has only existed since then, but the evolution of the past 200 years has allowed human beings to evolve into flowers."
"Isn't this the advancement of technology? This is a good thing."
"A good thing? As the old saying goes: If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. In fact, human beings' minds have not reached a higher level, but their abilities can already destroy the world. What will happen? And some of the things humans do now,
It has begun to affect the survival of other dimensions. To put it bluntly, it has begun to affect immortals and demons. Now many people in other dimensions have considered showing up directly to meet humans. But this matter is actually very difficult, because cross-dimensional communication is not suitable for high latitudes.
, is dangerous and difficult to believe for low latitudes."
"Why is it so hard to believe?"
"Think about it, can you communicate with a two-dimensional animation? Can he believe what you say?"
"I probably understand. What does danger at high latitudes mean?"
"Take two-dimensional communication as an example. If you want to communicate with two-dimensional people, you have to turn yourself into a painting. Do you think this process is safe?"
"Is it true that many supernatural events nowadays are actually attempts at communication from high latitudes?" I suddenly thought of all kinds of strange videos I saw online.
Lao Cao took a sip of tea and continued: "Some are, some are not. The best in this field is the Holy See, because their communication method is to descend. As long as the receiving container can withstand it, it can basically be directly
Communication. But we Eastern practitioners are at a disadvantage. What we talk about is improving ourselves. The problem is that it is not easy to improve yourself to a high level."
"Why does it sound so fantasy to me? Are you talking about spiritual practice? What about high latitudes? Aren't these all done by scientists who study mysticism?" Why do I feel that these two things are not related?
"A lot of things actually mean the same thing. What do you mean by ascension? Do you mean genes are related to destiny? The simplest thing I can ask you is, have you ever heard of Tesla?"
"The one who sells cars?"
"No, the one who invented the Tesla coil. There are rumors on the Internet that he is from Venus. Do you know what dimension Venus is? Do you know what dimension the fairy world or the devil world is in? Everyone in the Western Paradise says, why no one watches it
Have you been there? In fact, they all exist, but the dimensions are different. Even if the spaces overlap, you can't see them."
"Why do I feel indecisive? Quantum mechanics?"
"Hahaha, in fact, there are experts among human beings nowadays, and there are people with extremely high spiritual realms. What they say is often in line with the Tao and similar. There are also experts in cultivation, who have become Buddhas and saints in the flesh.
Even human beings’ research on their own life genes has reached the point of improving physical strength and eliminating genetic diseases. This is actually what I said, human evolution is already approaching a higher dimension.”
