Chapter 78: A Pure Land
In Donglin Temple, Zen Master Liangji was about to leave, when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
"Eh!"
Just when he was surprised, an old man came to Donglin Temple in a carriage with a dozen servants and guards. It was on the road that he met Ji Boyi, the destined person.
"Living Buddha!"
The old man and his servants were dumbfounded when they saw Zen Master Liangji sitting in the void, and they knelt down almost instinctively.
"That's good, that's good. So it turns out that I am destined to have two disciples!"
The moment he saw the old man, Zen Master Liangji's Buddha's heart trembled, and he immediately grasped the reason. His originally squinting eyes almost turned into slits, and he looked very happy.
"Donor Huang, your youngest son has a fate with Lao Monk and can pass on Lao Monk's Caoshan line of Buddhism. I would like to allow him to become a disciple of Lao Monk."
Since the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, it has been very interesting to recruit disciples.
In addition to having an eldest disciple to take over his mantle, he also needs to recruit a second disciple with more outstanding talents, teach him to become a talented person, and then kick him out and leave him to fend for himself.
Probably it was the North-South dispute between Master Shenxiu and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng that brought Zen Buddhism to its first peak.
The Sixth Patriarch Nanyue Huairang and Qingyuan Xingsi sat down!
Baizhang Huaihai has the good luck of Huangbo, and the blessing of Weishan!
Zen Master Lingyou has his eldest disciples Hui Ji and Ji Bo Yi. The latter has now become a monk and is allowed to go out to spread Zen Buddhism.
Zen Master Liangji accepted Daoying as his successor many years ago, but he still lacked another disciple. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came today and he had just released the eldest disciple. This second disciple was delivered to him.
For Zen masters, they probably hope that there will be another Sixth Patriarch Huineng. Buddhism is becoming more and more clear with each passing day. If there is no opponent, I am afraid that Zen Buddhism will slowly decay from within.
Every Zen master accepts more than two true disciples. One takes over his mantle, and the other is given the opportunity to leave the mountain gate to find his own pure land, spreading the seeds of Zen in this way throughout the land of China.
This principle was also realized by Ji Boyi when he met his senior brother Hui Ji's eyes in the Miyin Temple. He was not the character to sit beside Lingyou for a lifetime, so he followed the trend, kicked over the purification bottle, and left his own practice for eight years.
of temples.
Zhenjiang is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, with mountains behind it and the river facing it. The situation is dangerous and it is a place to guard the river. Therefore, it was named Zhenjiang.
This place is at the crossroads between the north and the south. It boasts stunning landscapes, beautiful bells and graces, and many talents from generation to generation. It was once the capital where Sun Quan established his political power during the Three Kingdoms period, and was also the hometown of Emperor Liu Yu. It was also the hometown of the peerless twins, Big and Little Qiao.
And the telepathy that Ji Boyi obtained in the pure bottle led him to an island in the middle of the Yangtze River.
The "Ruyitong" operation has crossed the river and arrived at this small island in the river.
With a thought, everything about this mountain island was reflected in Ji Game's sea of consciousness.
It turns out that this is a high mountain named "Jinshan", standing majestically on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The mountain is majestic and the scenery is magnificent. When you climb up and look down, you can see the vastness of the Yangtze River. Later, due to the flooding of the river, this mountain became an island in the river.
It is called "a hibiscus in the river".
Walking to the top of Jinshan Mountain, you can see undulating hills and towering ancient trees; there are many mounds on the left and right, shoulder to shoulder, like a guard array; in front there are dams, fields, and sea-like areas, and there are many mountains and rivers.
"It's just a pity that the spiritual energy is relatively thin and there are few people there, so it's not a good place for practice."
While talking, Ji Boyi followed the inspiration in the sea of consciousness and came to a ruins in Jinshan, which turned out to be a dilapidated and decaying temple.
Standing in front of the broken Buddha in the barren mountain, my mind changed and I already understood the key.
This temple was first built during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Jin Dynasty. It was also called "Zexin Temple" when it was first built. Unfortunately, with the passage of time and three Buddhist tribulations, it has already declined. The original accumulated mental energy has not dissipated. In the past, it seems that master Kanyu once did this, locking the faith and energy gathered during the Zexin Temple period into the spiritual veins of Jinshan.
In addition to the detailed address of this place, the thought power in the pure bottle also contains a magic formula to break the ban, which is the key to unlocking the seal.
As long as Ji Game uses the magic formula to operate, within ten years, he will be able to release the deeply locked spiritual veins and create a cave heaven and a blessed land.
It is incorrect to use the term "cave heaven and blessed land". Buddhism should be "a pure land".
Ji Boyi accepted the Heart Seal inheritance and naturally understood the Buddhist Pure Land method. Taking Miyin Temple as an example, Zen Master Lingyou used the golden body of Sakyamuni in the main hall as a suppressing Buddha treasure, gathering people with a radius of hundreds of miles. The vitality of the earth's veins and the belief power of all living beings have already incorporated the entire Miyin Temple into one's own state of mind, becoming one's own pure land.
Anyone who steps within a hundred miles of it will be noticed by him. Within this range, Zen Master Lingyou can even see through every thought in the hearts of ordinary people. Whoever utters his name will be instantly noticed. He knows.
This is the "pure land" of Buddhism!
Although Ji Boyi is not a great master in Feng Shui, he is still an expert. The Yangtze River is the channel for dragon veins to enter the sea. Jinshan towers in the river, just like a place where a real dragon rises to breathe and breathe.
Between exhaling and inhaling the dragon's veins, most of the spiritual energy has been locked up by Jinshan's spiritual veins. What Ji Boyi needs to do now is to release the spiritual energy accumulated over the past thousand years and use the Buddhist method of "a pure land" to Transform the entire Jinshan into your own pure land.
It turns out that the "One Side of Pure Land" method passed down by their Weiyang Sect is considered superior, but compared with the Pure Land Sect that specializes in this aspect, it is still slightly inferior.
With a thought in his mind, a "Green Lotus" with eight hundred leaves in bloom emerged from the top of Ji Boyi's head. A rice-sized relic shone with gleaming white light from the center of the lotus leaf, and countless golden Sanskrit words emerged from the green lotus leaf. It emerged from the white lotus leaves and was absorbed by the relic.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Game has obtained the most superior "Pure Land" method in the world.
Pure land refers to a pure land, a majestic land, that is, a majestic place where pure merits exist. The great original wish of Sakyamuni Buddha when he manifested enlightenment is to purify the world, hoping to transform the filthy land of Saha into a pure land.
This means that Sakyamuni hoped to cover the entire human world with his own pure land and realize the dream of a Buddhist kingdom on earth.
This is also the highest achievement of the "One Pure Land" method.
"Suppose you are not reborn in heaven. In the future world, you will find yourself under the Longhua Bodhi tree. With the heart of the Supreme Way, when you say these words, countless people will rise from their seats, bow to the feet of the Buddha, bow to the feet of Maitreya, and circle around the Buddha and Maitreya Bodhisattva. Qianza. Those who have not yet attained the Tao..."
The Pure Land sect is divided into "Maitreya Pure Land" and "Amitabha Pure Land". The former is the cultivation achievement of the Pure Land founders of all generations, but the latter is a rumored Pure Land that is only spread in the world and is almost invisible to anyone.
Ji Boyi recited the mantra of "Pure Land of Maitreya". Every time the green lotus leaf above his head flashed, dozens of mysterious and unpredictable Sanskrit words containing the meaning of purity would be absorbed by the white light-filled relics.
Gradually, the Buddhist chants spread throughout the deserted Jinshan Mountain, and the spiritual veins hidden deep in the mountain seemed to be shaken and awakened from a thousand-year slumber.
The Buddhist light of the relic condensed into a bright and deep ray, penetrating the deep mountain rocks and beginning to lift the blockade imposed on the spiritual veins.
A vast and boundless spiritual energy rushed out from the opening of the seal, and it was so strong that Ji Bo Yi's relics could not bear it.
"It's amazing. This treasure land of blessings is probably no worse than the ancestral home of my Zen sect."
His face changed slightly, Ji Boyi began to activate the "Pure Land of Maitreya" method, and the "Green Lotus" on the top transformed into blue and white lotus flowers. Under the auspices of the light of the relic, he absorbed this strong enough to be able to
Breathtaking aura.
A subtle golden light shone from the ground beneath Ji Boyi's feet. Stimulated by this, the originally withered grass blades turned green and green, and some dead dead trees sprouted green buds and leaves.
The golden light continued to expand, and before you knew it, it had enveloped the entire ruins of Zexin Temple.
Amidst the "buzzing" sound, Ji Boyi's mind power saw everything subtle and transparent under the light of Shariputra.
Zexin Temple was originally a "pure land" with some remaining Buddhist formations and pure connotations. Under the stimulation of the "Maitreya Pure Land" mantra and the spiritual energy that broke through the earth, it began to slowly recover.
He unceremoniously incorporated these things into the pure land he had just built, adding a sense of purity to it. Then, the "Green Lotus Flower" slowly sank into the ground under the urging of Ji Boyi's relics
.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the spiritual veins locked deep at the bottom of the mountain. Silently, the "Green Lotus Flower" covered the opening where the seal had been released.
The spiritual energy accumulated over thousands of years was absorbed and digested by this lotus flower from the Buddha's land as soon as it burst out.
A burst of fragrance came, and Ji Boyi's relic wrapped in the center of the lotus was entangled by the fragrance, and became vaguely more transparent and crystal clear, shining brightly. Countless sentient beings' thoughts permeated in the aura passed through "Qingqing"
After the washing and purification of "Lotus Flower", it turned into the purest spiritual power, which was absorbed by the relic like a whale.
In just a quarter of an hour, the crystals that were originally as fine as rice grains obviously grew in size and became as big as corn.
Normally, if you polish and absorb your spiritual power by yourself, it would take ten years of hard work to achieve such an effect.
While Ji Boyi admired in his heart that it was indeed a treasured land of blessings, he also regretted that he had too little belief power locked in his spiritual veins. He just sucked it up in one gulp. If he thought about making such rapid progress in the future, he would almost
It's impossible. This is all the accumulated beliefs over the past millennium.
"Green Lotus" suppresses the spiritual veins, constantly absorbing the rich spiritual energy and transforming it into pure land. Ji Game can feel the expansion of "Maitreya Pure Land" every moment.
In just three days, half of the Jinshan Mountain has been enveloped in his pure land. No one would believe such speed and efficiency unless they saw it with their own eyes.
In the process of opening up the Pure Land, Ji Boyi also fell into a state of Zen and gained a deeper understanding of Buddhism. The Buddhist principles of Pure Land Sect and Zen Buddhism connected with each other, and he explored a Mahayana path of his own.
Gradually, the consciousness fell into a mysterious realm of darkness and silence. The wisdom of the gods, which had been at a standstill, made a decisive breakthrough at this time.
