So talking about things like ascension seems to be a problem for some cultivators.
It is a lifelong dream.
The same is true in Daomen.
Some cultivators in China now.
Discovered that heaven is in the "sky".
Several highly respected old Taoist priests from the Taoist sect were chatting with each other.
They all wore Taoist robes and looked like immortals.
But they are people who don’t even have pseudo-spiritual roots.
The cultivation level is not even at the level of foundation building.
Not to mention ascending and the like.
Because now the Taoist sect has fallen into disrepair, and the highest person in the Taoist sect is only the current Zhang Tianshi.
Half-step to the peak of foundation building and great perfection.
“So we can ascend through modern technology?”
“Does this count as our ascension as immortals, or is it a machine’s ascension?”
In their opinion, Those who flew directly to the moon via spacecraft.
Can it also be counted as an ascended person?
But some people think.
“This is nothing more than evil heretics and heresy.”
“Relying on external objects to ascend is ultimately just external force.”
“Relying on one’s own strength to ascend is the only way to ascend. Real ability.”
However, some people think they are bitter.
After all, some magic weapons, talismans and the like can be counted as one's own strength.
Then why can’t we take a rocket to the heaven?
“Didn’t we say before that in ancient times, there were four sky pillars on our land?”
“Isn’t it said that there were four space elevators that went straight to the sky?”
"Many people in myths and legends rely on space elevators to come to our mortal world."
"Why do those gods need to use space elevators?"
People in Daomen also Not some old-fashioned people.
They are very knowledgeable about modern technology.
“Now if we want to build a space elevator, it is still a science fiction idea.”
"If there really is a so-called space elevator."
"Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to ascend and go directly to heaven."
"According to what Daoyou Ye said before."
< br>“The technology possessed by Heaven is far beyond what we know.”
“Why was the Heavenly Pillar broken in the end?”
Another Taoist priest with a long white beard.
“The allocation of resources is insufficient.”
“Although we practice in the mountains, we are wealthy couples.”
“That is indispensable.”< br>
“Look at other people’s Buddhism, do you think they are pure-hearted and have few desires?”
"The vegetarian food eaten by others is more expensive than meat."
"The same is true in our journey to immortality. It is inherently contrary to nature."
"What will happen when resources are insufficient?"
“Of course they are competing with each other.”
“According to the Taoist priest, there are abundant resources in heaven, or on the moon?”
If you understand it this way, it seems to be correct.
Why so many countries had various arrangements on the moon a long time ago.
Because there are various mineral resources on the moon.
Especially helium-3 is the most ideal fuel for nuclear fusion.
One of the factors that prevents the development of controllable nuclear fusion from advancing for the time being is.
Reaction fuels are very expensive and woefully inadequate.
The opposite is true on the moon, where helium-3 is unusually abundant.
Not to mention other mineral resources.
Helium-3 alone is enough for other countries to compete for.
“Have you not seen that the lunar soil alone is already a very precious thing now?”
"That is a research resource that is more expensive than gold."
"You can only apply for use in grams."
"If you have a space elevator that can go directly to the moon. "The resources on the moon can be endless"
"And the moon can be used as a place of refuge"
"Directly isolated from the Blue Star."
"Why is there one year on earth and one day in heaven."
"Perhaps the lifespan of people living in heaven far exceeds ours."< br>
If there is no technology.
In this age of Dharma Ending, I want to cultivate to the point where I can ascend in the daytime.
It's just nonsense.
“Don’t think so much, prepare more for the rituals of Zhoutian Dajiao.”
“We are almost finished preparing things.”
“Our Senior brother is very concerned about this thing.”
After finishing the chat, the Taoist priests hurriedly made preparations.
After all, the recent Zhoutian Jiao Festival was held thousands of years ago.
It can really be said that it is a rare Taoist prosperity in a thousand years.
……
In Buddhism, Fayuan was alone in the White Horse Temple.
Baima Temple is known as the most ancient temple in the world.
It is also a Buddhist holy place.
Why is a Buddhist temple called White Horse Temple?
What color horse did Tang Monk ride on to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?
In "Journey to the West", didn't he ride on a white dragon horse?
Could it be that the White Horse Temple is named White Horse Temple to commemorate the merits of White Horse?
This indeed has a lot to do with learning from scriptures.
But it’s just not Tang Seng.
But he learned the scriptures earlier than Tang Seng.
As early as the Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to be introduced into our country.
Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty dreamed of a golden man at night and sent envoys to the western regions to seek Buddhism.
The Han envoy, together with two eminent Indian monks Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan, used white horses to carry Buddhist scriptures and statues back to Luoyang.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed and ordered a monastery to be built outside Xiyong Gate in Luoyang, which was called the White Horse Temple.
This is the origin of White Horse Temple.
The inspiration for Tang Sanzang’s White Horse also came from this.
But now, Fa Yuan is the only one in Buddhism.
He had already begun to seek help from some other temples.
Let some monks come over for a walk.
In fact, this type of behavior is very common among monks.
Generally, such people are called traveling monks or wandering monks.
This is a traditional spiritual practice designed by visiting different temples.
Participate in Dharma gatherings, listen to sutras, and practice meditation to increase your knowledge and experience different practice environments to promote personal practice and enlightenment.
In fact, both Taoism and Buddhism have this method.
It doesn’t mean a Taoist priest and a monk.
In a certain temple, you will stay for a lifetime.
However, there are also some who wander around and live in a certain temple for a long time for some reasons.
Fa Yuan is doing this now.
After all, the name of White Horse Temple is still well-known at home and abroad.
In the eyes of many believers and Buddhist monks.
Those are first-class temples.
Being able to practice in the White Horse Temple for a period of time is a resume that can be shown off outside.
What does it look like?
After you study abroad, it will be like gold-plating when you return to your country.
People ask you which temple you practiced in before.
You say I am from White Horse Temple, and others look at you differently.
He is an eminent monk from White Horse Temple!
Do you think this can be deceitful?
When Tang Monk traveled around the world, he needed public relations documents.
You practice somewhere for a certain period of time.
Only then can you get local recognition and have a stamp stamped on your certificate.
It means you have really been to this place.
So now some monks are coming to Baima Temple one after another.
The White Horse Temple also began to attract more and more people and regained some vitality. (End of this chapter)
