Chapter 79: Heavenly Grant (Part 1)
Gan Ning Manor.
It’s almost noon.
Lu Feng is sitting in the bathtub, no one is around him, he lives alone in a corner, Lu Feng does not need anyone to wait around him, he likes to be alone, maybe because he is very His years as a sutra scholar made him feel that having time alone was a very luxurious and comfortable thing.
This may be regarded as a kind of "self-attachment", but Lu Feng has not used his mind to smash these "self-attachments". He has not yet reached the level where the six sense organs are not contaminated and everything is clean. Less than the level of emptiness and selflessness, Lu Feng is still far away from his secret deity, and cannot achieve the sign of selflessness or beings.
Over the past few days, many attendant monks have also noticed this and will not disturb Lu Feng's solitude.
White Pearl did not go back either. She knelt down and sat in front of the statue of Tara, praying in her heart.
Logically speaking, she should go to deliver butter tea and hot highland barley wine to Master Ganing at this moment, but she remembered the words of Steward Saridun and did not dare to disobey Steward Saridon. Being able to wait here, for some reason, she also developed a great fear of the watchtower where the eldest lady was.
Don’t dare to face it.
The words of Butler Saridun are like the scriptures engraved on the prayer flags outside the Ganing Manor. They are unchangeable Buddhist proverbs. He said that if the serfs are hung outside in the sun, then It means hanging the serfs outside to die in the sun. If no one can stop him, not even the eldest lady.
The eldest lady complained more than once to the "born secretary" and "born servant of the Ganing family" in the manor, but every time, Master Ganing said with a smile: "Ask these people under me to do it. Well, all the cowherds know how to raise cattle, and Saridon also knows how to deal with these lazy things."
Of course, the eldest lady is not feeling pity, she just feels that the noise is about to die. In the past, the sour smell and the smell of death would attract vultures from the other side of the mountain. They would not eat living people, they would just keep fluttering and fluttering, hovering in the sky, like dark clouds about to rain, waiting. The dead take their last breath.
Before this, they would not speak.
The master is kind. He will give the serfs half a bowl of butter tea on many days worthy of celebration. However, there is no doubt that as the chief steward, Saridun has no choice but to be kind. He is Master Ganing. If he doesn't move the whip in his hand, then the chaps and leaders won't move either.
White Pearl was afraid of Saridun, just like she was afraid of the current eldest lady and master. She was shivering like a cold little lamb. If it were normal, the other two masters - Monk Zhiyuan Monk He Zhi'an would have accepted such a donation a long time ago, but now, the two monks have no such idea, especially after hearing what Monk Yongzhen said - the two just silently prepared the offerings, which could last a few days If Elder Mingli can be brought back in a few days, everyone will naturally be happy, and a big family like the Ganing family will also be very solemn about the alms given by monks like them.
But if Elder Mingli cannot come back, then one or two of them will be killed by the devil. Thinking of this, Monk Zhiyuan silently took out a piece of Coptis chinensis and stuffed it into his sleeve. Monk Zhi'an looked at it. He glanced at it and said nothing more.
Because he also stuffed some offerings into his sleeves to please King Mingzhu. As disciplinary monks, they are different from Lu Feng. Lu Feng just became a red monk this year. , but these few of them have been monks in red for some time. Besides, they know very well that people protected by Bodhisattva do not need to worry about them. As for the "person blessed by the Bodhisattva", Lu Feng finally took a bath and was clean. When his "body" and "mind" were completely empty and clear, he put on his clothes and took a look outside to see how high the sun was. He made sure that it had not reached the agreed limit. At that time, Lu Feng began today's practice.
He wiped his feet, crossed his legs and straightened his back, and sat in front of the big bathing bucket. Lu Feng was not following the path of an ascetic yogi.
Logically speaking, if he could see the monk next to the spring today, he might think that the ascetic monk living in a hermitage is an ascetic yogi. Lu Feng does not pursue physical suffering. and psychological cleansing, after enlightenment, Lu Feng just needs to move forward step by step.
The master has already taught him the path forward clearly. Lu Feng continued on, using the "clumsy fire" to generate great happiness, and then "the pulse generates the four joys", "achieving the bliss of emptiness and non-duality", and attained the supreme Only by achieving great liberation can we achieve the perfection of Mahamudra.
However, the great happiness that follows must be achieved after cultivating the great perfection of the body and at the same time as the great perfection of the mind. It cannot stop at the non-dual bliss of Vajra Bodhi Maha Mudra. It is not "only The "practicing mudra" of "cultivating with the help of the performing mudra" is general. It must be practiced in practice to gain compassion and wisdom. His method of practicing Mahamudra is the same as the "pledge mudra" and "dharma mudra". It only needs to be based on the mudra. Entering the samadhi of desire and happiness, conforming to the non-dual principle of emptiness and happiness, and using the Mahamudra method, you can obtain great liberation without the need for the wisdom of the Dakini in reality.
Lu Feng is far away from this kind of practice at the moment. However, through his secret deity practice, he can see the Fudo Ming Wang Zun and obtain the non-dual nature of his dharma. As the steps go up, Lu Feng may be able to realize the self-emptiness. With the natural nature, there is no need to worry about being deceived by illusions during practice, and with the blessing of the fire of wisdom and ancient scrolls in the body, Lu Feng has already entered samadhi when he just sat down.
This kind of method can also be seen as very special - even many great monks in red cannot be so peaceful and enter concentration at any time for many times, so they need various visualization aids. Those who speak intensively, from Words can calm the mind if the mind is in turmoil. All kinds of delusional thoughts can be brought back to the original self. If the mind is filthy, see the original mind again, tie the ape in mind, and rein in the horse of intention.
Lu Feng didn't use it. There was an ancient scroll here, which rekindled the fire of wisdom. He stopped sitting down and fell into meditation. He practiced the Fudo Ming King Mantra and opened the door to wisdom with the rhyme of great compassion. , use the fire of compassion to increase wisdom, and use wisdom to cultivate compassion. This is rich in the body's clumsy fire, penetrating the central channel, and using the great liberation power contained in the body to help yourself achieve great liberation.
At the enlightenment point, various illusions appeared again, but Lu Feng ignored them. Whether it was the Vajra Hell, the appearance of the Bodhisattva himself, or the appearance of the angry king of Ming Lord, who wanted to turn him into powder, Lu Feng was like this. If he doesn't move, can't see the five-color light, he can't reach perfection. He doesn't believe in any illusions. Before he reaches the realm of the deity, it's like a saying Lu Feng often heard when he was studying, "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
The same is true in practice. You cannot achieve the sixteen kinds of emptiness and the eighteen kinds of emptiness. The Dharma-nature is Vajra Undual. To achieve great wisdom, Vajra, and great compassion, you still need to have the bodhicitta heart all the time. Wipe it all the time without any neglect, which is why he bathes every morning now, and why a large number of monks need to observe the precepts.
They all use an external cause to constantly remind themselves of what they are doing, just in case. Before entering meditation, Lu Feng specially called the others to wake him up at the height of the sun.
As long as the water power is perfect, also known as the "water element", you can enter the fire without being burned. Your body will be clean and soft, and you can enter the next fire element. If you achieve the "fire element", you can It was necessary to enter the water without drowning, but after Lu Feng entered trance, he kept hearing calls from beside him. They were deep and distant, tugging at his true nature, so Lu Feng had to use the fire of wisdom to cut off this connection at any time.
Every time I cut it off, this strange and mysterious aura became thinner and thinner.
