"Lao Na had the honor to discuss the Tao with the true spirit left behind by Master Chunyang, and received his guidance. He also knew that the free body of heaven and earth is the path to transcendence. Throughout the ages, only the Zhengqing Sage can achieve it. Many of his disciples have outstanding understandings like Master Chunyang.
, I could only dream of a butterfly for several years and catch a glimpse of its fur. Now, the Venerable has dreamed of a butterfly for six hundred years and traveled throughout the world, which is truly an unusual event throughout the ages."
"As the ancient saying goes, creation is the result of natural evolution. The dharma image of the venerable jade butterfly was obtained through the development of ancient times. It can be called the creation of the jade butterfly!"
Not only was Fahai unable to calm down, but even the Buddha of Earth, who had long been as heartbroken as a rotten wood after practicing hard for a lifetime on the Mahakurong Sutra, could not remain calm in the ancient well.
Throughout history, the Sanqing Taoist lineage is at its peak, and all of his disciples are peerless immortal leaders across the three realms. Only the Zhengqing Zhenzhuangzi, although he is free in all the worlds, is not inferior to the cultivation of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, but there is almost no one in his disciples.
The reason for the disciples whose names have been recorded in history is that the way of freedom in heaven and earth is too strange and can be called an alternative, making it difficult for ordinary people to see the way.
Therefore, even if someone as strong as Lu Dongbin was favored by two saints, Taiqing and Zhengqing, he could only dream about it for several years, get a glimpse of the world and create a great supernatural power that is forbidden by all laws.
The world is free and free, transcending everything.
To do the opposite is to ban all laws and imprison all laws.
The two come from the same source, one is free, the other is forbidden, one is antithetical and the other is positive. They seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different. It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all.
The foundation of the freedom of heaven and earth is the understanding of the Tao, which is transcendent of all things. The foundation of the prohibition of all laws is the use of the law. Whether it can be prohibited depends on its own cultivation.
To put it simply, Ten Thousand Methods Forbidden is a method of crushing. It is most suitable for targeting the weak. It is difficult to achieve great results when encountering those whose cultivation level is higher than one's own.
The freedom of heaven and earth is a way of detachment. All living beings are equal under the way of heaven. Regardless of the weak or the strong, they are all detached.
Sensing the abnormality of the Buddha's spiritual thoughts on earth, Fahai felt a little proud. However, his attitude was extremely humble. "The only resource for being foolish is that I got enlightenment by chance with the help of Master Chunyang and his seniors. How can we talk about being different?"
number?"
"There is no need to be modest. Lao Na observes the venerable Dharma. It contains the power of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Each has its own merits, and they are all at the most profound level. The ancients said that knowledge and action are one, but when observing the venerable words and deeds, although he is well versed in Buddhist principles, it is not
A Buddhist; although he is proficient in Confucianism, he is not a Confucian scholar; although he has a thorough understanding of the Dao, he is not a Taoist. This is really rare throughout the ages, so I am very curious. What is your belief, venerable? How can this kind of faith transcend the Dao?
?”
The great road is as simple as it is, and the sage is as strong as the Buddha on earth. Facing the other kind of Dharma, one can't help but become curious.
When Fahai heard this, he did not answer immediately, but asked a rhetorical question. "Senior, do you think it is the people today who have strong beliefs, or the people in ancient times who had strong beliefs?"
"The three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have been developed for millions of years, with complete systems and countless followers. Naturally, today's faith is strong. How can it be compared to the prehistoric world where culture was not flourishing and the jungle was strong enough to eat the strong?"
"So, are people in today's world more powerful, or are people in the prehistoric world more powerful?"
"The power of the ancient powers in the prehistoric world is naturally more powerful. How could you not know that the venerable Lord has traveled through the prehistoric world for endless years?"
"So, a powerful world may not be able to give birth to strong beliefs. Although the ant nest is small, they are united, and although the demon clan is large, they kill each other. However, my belief comes from an ant-like world, but it exists
It is a belief that transcends the ultimate principles of the universe."
Fahai paused for a moment. After working for more than ten years, his mind was forcibly armed with the truth every day. This painful realization was definitely not something that a Buddhist cultivator who pursues bliss can imagine. It is useless to say more.
Unexpectedly, the Buddha on earth seemed to have some enlightenment, "I understand that the ultimate principle is the foundation and the three teachings are useful. It is already transcendent, so how can it be bound? Therefore, when a heart that has long transcended the great road,
When I encounter the opportunity to cultivate a body that transcends the Great Dao, my mind and body become one, and freedom from heaven and earth comes naturally. The Venerable has a strong mind and has practiced the three religions. He has now reached the ultimate level of enlightenment. If he can have the opportunity to cultivate to the level of Buddhism and Confucianism in the future,
At the top, the unification of the three teachings will surely help us to make further progress."
"What my predecessors said is absolutely true. The unification of the three religions is exactly the path I should take."
When Fahai heard the words, he felt something in his heart. With a thought, the appearance of the jade butterfly changed again. In an instant, he transformed back into the body of a young monk, floating on the sundial with his bare feet, looking calm and leisurely.
Now that you have decided to take the path of unifying the three religions, there is no need to stick to the Jade Butterfly Dharma. On the Taoist path, the Dharma Sea has been fully understood. The only difference is just cultivation. What needs to be practiced most now is to calm down the Dharma.
And I don’t know when I will be able to comprehend the Confucian Dharma.
Thoughts suddenly arose, and the awe-inspiring meaning derived from "The Economics of All Ages" kept flowing in my heart. Unfortunately, I didn't feel anything about the Dharma. I don't know whether it was because I didn't have enough savings or the opportunity hadn't arrived yet.
"What a supreme principle that transcends the universe, it can actually make the venerable Dharma ascend and achieve the status of Buddha. Ha, since the venerable is determined to unify the three religions, then the "Mahayurong Sutra" and "Six Paths of Samsara Sutra" should be
It’s a gift from Lao Na to His Holiness.”
After the spiritual thought flashed, another ray of Zen light came. Seeing this, Fahai did not dodge or avoid it. When the Zen light illuminated the Buddha's Dharma, two ancient scriptures were immediately introduced into his consciousness. With Fahai's solid foundation,
After cultivating Zen and traveling all over the world, observing countless powerful practitioners, I understood these two scriptures about Tianlong Temple in my heart almost instantly.
"The Sutra of Great Dryness and Glory" is the Zen practice of the universe. The years of decay and prosperity, life and death, are all in one thought.
The "Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra" is the Zen of practicing reincarnation, the wheel of the six paths, the three good and three evils. If you fully understand this sutra, you can use the law of reincarnation to jump out of the three realms and escape the sea of suffering.
These two sutras are both derived from the supreme "Three Volumes of the Way of Heaven" in all realms. The volume of humans, ghosts and gods - the ghost volume "Life and Death" is the foundation of Tianlong Temple and the place where Ksitigarbha Buddha inherits.
In addition to the "Dragon Mahasthamaprapta Bodhi Sutra" that Fahai had intensively compiled in his early years, by now, the three major sutras of Tianlong Temple have been fully studied by Fahai.
This gift is by no means unkind, and I have a character that will repay every drop of kindness in the ocean of Dharma and retaliate against every grudge.
"Thank you, senior, for helping me. I never say thank you for your kindness. Once you are punished, I will do my best to repay you."
Fa Hai expressed his sincerity. There is no love without reason in the world. The Buddha and Fa Hai in this place have never been alive, but they have continuously devoted all their efforts to help him. Although they are selfish, they deserve Fa Hai's gratitude.
"This temple and the Venerable have a common enemy. To help the Venerable is to help yourself. If I want anything else, I can only hope that the Venerable can lend a helping hand on the road to the revival of this temple."
"If I don't die, the heavenly dragon will rise."
Just eight words are enough to show Fahai's firm attitude. As soon as the spiritual thought came out, the Buddha on the earth immediately laughed heartily, "In this way, even if I return to the nine realms, I will have no regrets. The ancients said to send the Buddha off
Sent to the west, the three most precious treasures of the temple, the Wheel of Years, have been taken away by King Buddha, and the Six Paths of Nirvana are used to support this world. Only Junior Brother Tianlong spent his whole life to refine the Tianlong Battle Robe, in which the eight demon dragons are the most unruly and fierce.
There is currently no one in this temple who can control it, so let’s give it to the Venerable to tame it and give it a helping hand.”
With the thoughts of the Buddha on Earth, a monk's robe that seemed to be woven from the silk of the Nine Heavens Galaxy has flown to the sea of fa. This monk's robe seems to have no entity, and is almost transparent from top to bottom. The precious light flows on it, showing countless ancient times.
Seal scriptures written in Sanskrit carry the profound meaning of ancient Buddhism and captivate the soul.
"The ancient horned dragon is unruly, greedy and fierce, and extremely difficult to tame. I don't have enough magic power left in me. It is difficult for the world to support the dragon's rampage. Please return to reality and tame the dragon."
When the divine thought of the Earth Buddha came, the floating Heavenly Dragon's battle robe had already flown halfway. Suddenly, its momentum changed, from Buddha to demon, turning into eight ancient four-clawed horned dragons, opening its bloody mouth, with endless ferocity.
With such power, the whole sky and the earth pounced on Fahai.
As soon as the dragon's power appeared, the sundial collapsed, the sky trembled, and it was in danger.
"The reincarnation of King Buddha, the rebirth of holy demons, the broken bridge of the West Lake, and the fateful reunion. Your venerable sir, remember that although this state is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Now that the holy demons are about to come out, the holy land of China must be a place where the wind and clouds meet, and it is also
This is the opportunity to cut off the cause and effect. I am above the Western Heaven and under the Nine Earths. I also hope that the Venerable can successfully cut off the cause and effect and return in triumph. Amitabha!"
