My Weird Life Chapter 1337

 Chapter 1337 The Fighting Ceremony (End)

 Seng Shenxiu, the northern ancestor of Zen Buddhism.

He is the most outstanding disciple of Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and is known as the "No. 1 Xuanjie Yuanzhao" and the "Shenxiu Master".

 Seng Shenxiu advocates the "gradual learning" of Buddhist practice, which means that "all Buddhist teachings are inherent in one's own mind. If you seek outside your heart, you will abandon your father and run away." That is to say, the Buddha nature resides deeply in everyone's self-nature, and all living beings are the sons of the Buddha. However, ordinary people are troubled by all kinds of obstacles and external phenomena, but they cannot get close to the "Buddha Father" and seek the far away instead of the near.

 At that time, there was another disciple named "Huineng" under the sect of "Hong Ren".

'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust? '—This is the Buddha's verse written by Hui Neng.

 After Huineng became the master of the show, he became a junior disciple of Hongren.

 He ​​advocated the "sudden enlightenment" of Buddhism and was even more favored by Hongren. Hongren finally handed over the mantle and inheritance to Huineng. Huineng eventually became the sixth ancestor of Zen and the southern ancestor of Zen. Together with Shenxiu, he was called "Southern Neng Beixiu".

 Both Shenxiu and Huineng have passed away.

Now Shenxiu seems to have appeared on a monk, as if he was "resurrected from the dead" - how could this not make Ye Fashan frightened? !

In all the Zen stories of later generations, Hui Neng's Buddhist verses are unparalleled, making Shenxiu completely reduced to a supporting role. However, an old guy like Ye Fashan who has experienced the era of Shenxiu's existence knows better how high the level of cultivation of this northern ancestor of Zen is. , how terrifying is his 'Vajra Prajna Great Vow Power'? This is a figure who 'wants to be close to the Buddha'. When he existed, Buddhism was in bloom, and Taoism was so suppressed that it couldn't even lift its head!

Such a level of "vowing to be close to the Buddha" is probably incomprehensible to ordinary people.

However, if it is said that "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" refers to "one who vows to become a Buddha", they can also understand from this that the level of Shenxiu is under the Great Wish Bodhisattva and is the fifteenth level in the distinction between the yogis. The 'Bodhisattva Land' can be compared to others - that was the level Shenxiu reached while he was still alive.

The current Shenxiu is resurrected from the dead, which is equivalent to "Nirvana". Who knows what level he has reached? !

The Nirvana and rebirth of such a Buddhist figure is not a good thing for Taoist disciples after all. The Buddhist and Taoist pattern in the world, which had been gradually fixed, will undergo great changes as a result!

Ye Fashan held his breath and stared closely at the monk Yin Zhi who seemed to be temporarily attracted by Shenxiu, and the 'ancestral master' who walked up to 'Yin Zhi' with a serious expression and sat down cross-legged.

He has experienced too many winds and rains, and he can still achieve "Taishan collapses in front of him without changing his appearance" most of the time. But in the current situation, once some subtle changes occur, it is more terrifying to Taoism than the collapse of Mount Tai. Although Ye Fashan He called Su Wu the Patriarch, but the other party also practiced Buddhism. If the other party was persuaded by Shenxiu and instead sided with Buddhism, that would be terrible!

Ye Fashan's heart was pounding and he didn't dare to look away, even for a moment.

Su Wu sat cross-legged opposite Yin Zhi.

Under the cover of his nature and will, the 'Yin Zhi' at this time was completely the image of Shenxiu. He could see it more clearly than Ye Fashan. 'It transformed into a divine appearance and was reflected in his soul.

It is extremely terrifying to practice such a mind, surpassing the king of eight consciousnesses, or to live in space forever like a lotus, and realize the nature of the Dharma.

"Your Excellency, you want to use the emperor's situation as a test to fight with me?" Su Wu looked at Shenxiu and asked directly.

 The current Yin Zhi is Shenxiu!

Shenxiu clasped his hands together, shook his head, looked at Su Wu with a gentle expression, and said with a smile: "The poor monk did not come here just for this prosperity."

Winning the battle of wits set up by Emperor Xuanzong, Buddhism can stand out for a while, and can naturally be called "temporarily prosperous".

 “Please speak up.”

"If the poor monk is lucky enough to win this fight, I would like to ask Tan Yue to agree to the poor monk's request." Shenxiu bowed slightly to Su Wu with a humble and kind expression.

Su Wu asked: "What request?"

"The poor monk has the courage to make you a monk, and you will practice under the poor monk. When will you become a Buddha and when will you become a teacher?" Shen Xiu said.

When Ye Fashan heard Shenxiu's request, his heart beat wildly.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when the monk suddenly turned his head and glanced at him - Ye Fashan's mouth, which was slightly open, suddenly closed.

 He wanted to convey the consciousness of nature, which turned into a paper boat and floated into the boundless sea of ​​space and darkness;

He wanted to ventriloquize, but his whole body was like wood and stone, and he couldn't move at all!

Not just him, everyone present, whether monk or Taoist, could only watch the conversation between Su Wu and Shenxiu, and could not get in even a word!

“It's too much to ask for, and it's too far to become a Buddha.” Su Wu frowned and looked at Shenxiu.

Shenxiu shook his head with a smile and said loudly: "All Buddhist dharma is inherent in one's own mind. If you seek outside your heart, you will abandon your father and run away... Tan Yue's perfect Buddha nature is like a mirror, which can enable a poor monk to see the form of 'I' and whether it is complete." Buddha is only in Tan Yue's thoughts, and there is only a layer of paper between becoming a Buddha and Tan Yue."

Su Wu did not respond to Shenxiu's words, but asked: "You ask for too much - if you and I are fighting, but I win, what can you give me?"

“The mountains and rivers of the world are connected from Chang'an, the capital of Kyoto, to Luoyang, the sacred capital, and the origin of the dragon's veins and gods are all connected with Tan Yue.” Shen Xiu said.

Su Wu's pupils contracted!

The original gods do not only exist on Dongliu Island. There are more original gods under the land of China. However, the original gods from Chang'an to Luoyang are the elites of all rivers in the world in this era. Compared to the original gods of the Five Mountains, One River and One River!

  Shenxiu made such a big 'bet' for this battle!

He was willing to use this as a bet in exchange for the opportunity to fight Su Wu and make Su Wu a monk. The stakes were so high, which showed that even if he was not sure of defeating Su Wu at this time, he would still be invincible. !

 But Su Wu didn't think he would lose. He asked Shenxiu: "How to fight?"

 “How about trying 'Bangdui'?

能 Drink my stick, and you can drink the other party. " Shenxiu replied. Ye Fashan could not speak at this moment and could only watch the progress of the fight between Shenxiu and Su Wu. When he heard that Shenxiu wanted to try the "stick drink" with Su Wu, his heart suddenly became fried.

Shenxiu was praised by Hongren, the Fifth Patriarch, as "the number one in solving the problem of illumination".

The so-called "suspended solution" means to be placed in a desperate situation, seek various solutions, and survive in the desperate situation. In Buddhism, "suspended solution" means to realize various "promising" within the enlightenment of "the four elements are empty". Dharma' means suspension of solution. These are Hongren's words praising Shenxiu for enlightening Buddha's wisdom and giving birth to Buddha nature.

And 'perfect illumination' means that one's own mind is as perfect as reflected in a mirror, and can observe all Dharma doors. The shadows of all Dharma doors are reflected in the mirror, but cannot remain in the mirror forever. This means that the divine and beautiful nature consciousness has reached the state of perfect integration and leakage-free. I won't be bothered by foreign ministers!

 Under such circumstances, if you compete with him, he can "wake up" the other party with one blow. If the other party wants to change his mind with one blow, it is almost impossible to be troubled by foreign affairs!

 However, even though Ye Fashan was in agony, he could not send any reminder to Su Wu.

Under his gaze, Su Wu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's try the 'stick drink'."

Ye Fashan's heart suddenly lifted when he heard Su Wu continue: "The monk comes first."

Hearing Su Wu's words, Ye Fashan's mood has not fluctuated much. This 'ancestral patriarch' has almost given up all options that are beneficial to him. In the current situation, he can only pray that this patriarch's mind is stable. It's so hard that it can be swallowed by Shenxiu's **** without being affected at all.

Shenxiu was also a little surprised when he heard what Su Wu said.

He raised his eyes and looked at Su Wu and said: "Tan Yue asked the poor monk to come up with a topic for this fight, which has given him great convenience. Now he has to ask the poor monk to take action first - is Tan Yue sure?"

 “It's confirmed,” Su Wu said.

With a drink, it can not only wake up the confused people, but also knock out the sober people.

Su Wu could understand Shenxiu's intentions at this moment. He just wanted to use this stick to directly convert himself into his sect and become his disciple.

If his mental strength is not as strong as Shenxiu's, he may be directly influenced by Shenxiu's mental strength and be willing to convert to Buddhism.

He has never achieved the so-called Buddhist achievement of being the first in Xuanjie Yuanzhao.

However, his character has gone through many experiences, but it will not be inferior to the Buddhist achievement of "the first in hanging solution and perfect illumination".

Shenxiu saw Su Wu simply nodded. He was silent for a moment and responded: "Okay."

He clasped his hands together and looked at Su Wu's face, with a look of special emotion in his eyes, and then said: "A vacuum is not empty.

 Having no heart in all things, all things are not yet nothing. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful vow force erupted from Shenxiu's body and flowed behind him, instantly forming a huge crown chakra that opened up the valley here!

Within the crown chakra, there was a light like a mirror, and Su Wu's appearance was reflected in the mirror.

Su Wu's hair fell off, he was wearing a cassock, and he was sitting cross-legged on the twelve lotus pedestals. He had become a Buddha!

This Buddha pushed out a palm in the mirror and covered Su Wu's head outside the mirror!

　　Boom!

Yellow

Su Wu was in this infinite light, his mind was as calm as one, and every thought he had was as dense as Bodhi. Each thought hovered above his head, and finally gathered into a green sun!

In this round of green sun, the Dharma of Bengu Gunde Sangpo did not appear, but boundless fire burst out. The raging fire covered the world, but it made everything in the world brighter, sweeping away ignorance, darkness and terror!

 Two 'Light Wheels' suddenly collided!

 Then they all dissipate!

Ye Fashan quickly looked at Su Wu's face, but saw that Su Wu's expression did not change. On the contrary, Shenxiu, who was opposite Su Wu, sighed.

Shenxiu instantly hit the wrong path that Su Wu had gone astray in the practice of Buddhism. He believed that all "nothing" was the true meaning of Buddhism. However, a vacuum is not empty, and "nothing" is also "not nothing." He used this stick to try to wake Su Wu up, but Su Wu's response was not an exploration of Buddhism at all, but the 'self-grasping' in one's own nature.

 The most persistent thing he is doing now is to make the world free from deception.

This heavy attachment made his mind and heart so tightly integrated that he never "awoke" even under the "stick and drink". Shenxiu used the "stick and drink" on Su Wu, but failed.

“There is a monk next to me, whose Dharma name is 'Jianzhen'.

This monk has not been able to realize the slightest bit of emptiness, but his attainments in Buddhism are still extremely superb. He has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, but his nature and mind have not been transformed into his nature and soul, and have long since been completely wiped out. "Su Wu smiled and spoke loudly, and Shenxiu was attracted by his words.

Shenxiu frowned and asked: "If the sexual intention has been completely wiped out over the years, how can this Jianzhen monk appear next to Tan Yue and stay beside Tan Yue with his body?"

"Exactly." Su Wu nodded and said, "This monk is staying beside me with his corpse, and what supports his corpse to move freely is his 'ego'.

 His practice has never been about practicing "emptiness", but practicing "self-grasping".

At the moment when the self-grasping is perfected, he may become a Buddha, or he may vanish into thin air, but no one can say for sure. However, before the self-grasping is perfected, he may indeed find "life" in death.

 The boundary between life and death has been broken through pure egoism. "

Hearing this, Shenxiu was somewhat impressed and nodded: "This monk Jianzhen can cultivate self-grasping to such an extent. If he had used this mind to realize emptiness, he would have attained the fruit of Buddhahood long ago."

 “He really has no Buddhist wisdom.” Su Wu said.

Shenxiu fell silent.

Su Wu added: "But what if there is no Buddha's wisdom? The four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, such as the Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, also use the great vow of 'Unless **** is empty, I swear not to become a Buddha', and the great 'self-grasping' 'Have you picked the fruit of Buddha?"

“There is only one Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.” Shenxiu sighed, “Now it's time for Tan Yue to take action.”
