Chapter 25: Entering Zen for the First Time, Born as a Buddhist
A few days later, the two of them traveled together and destroyed several bandit villages along the way.
Hui Wen was basically the one who took action, while Fang Chen only followed behind to plunder the essence and blood, and also looted some gold and silver treasures.
After several rounds, the two of them were barely half-friends.
In the evening of that day, Huiwen destroyed another village. Fang Chen unexpectedly got some fine wine from the treasure house of the village, so he used local materials and caught some rabbits and pheasants to roast.
The firelight shone on the faces of the two people. Huiwen sighed and clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha, it is good, it is good. Donor Fang killed wantonly for the sake of food and drink, which is really a sin."
Fang Chen smiled and said:
"As the saying goes, meat and wine go through the intestines. However, the Buddha has a pious heart, but if he does good deeds with a clear conscience, he may not become an Arhat if he only follows the rules and precepts.” His knowledge of Buddhism is not shallow, and his casual words are always refreshing. ”
"Want some?"
Fang Chen handed over a roast rabbit, but Hui Wen shook his head.
"The poor monk does not have the understanding of Donor Fang, nor the determination of Donor Fang, so it is better not to eat."
Fang Chen did not force him, only took back the rabbit, and said curiously :
“You went to Chuzhou to promote Buddhism. Why did you kill the bandits along the way?”
"Donor Fang didn't know something. As early as a thousand years ago, this Daqian was still a dense place, with humans, monsters, demons, and ghosts standing side by side. Among them was a blood demon, which was extremely cunning and cruel. It fed on blood and harmed countless human races. .
Later, several eminent Buddhist monks joined forces to suppress it, but it was only suppressed, but failed to kill it.
Thousands of years later, the blood demon had already been killed. Escape from the sealed place and harm the world again.
The blood demon is best at manipulating people's hearts and bewitching human beings. The more people become possessed, the faster the blood demon's strength will recover. < br>
In order to prevent the Blood Demon from regaining its peak strength, our temple sent many monks to preach in various places in Daqian, just to suppress the Blood Demon, find the Blood Demon, and seal it again
The poor monk went to the Chuzhou Martial Arts Conference to promote Buddhism. On the way, he encountered bandits and bandits and eliminated them all in order to prevent the blood demon from resurrecting through their viciousness. ”
“That’s it. "
Fang Chen nodded, already vaguely guessing the identity of the other party.
Nine times out of ten, he is from one of the immortal sects that the county magistrate said has retreated from the mortal world.
< br>“What are the Buddhist dharma you want to promote? ”
"The first is Buddhist Dharma, which can help people dispel ignorance; the second is Buddhist martial arts, which can make people strong and healthy; the third is Buddhist Zen, which is spiritual law, which can make people mentally strong and not fall into the devil's way."
Hearing this, Fang Chen's heart moved.
"In that case, can you pass it on to me?"
Hui Wen nodded.
"If the donor wants to learn it, of course he can. If one more person practices our Buddhist method, which is as strong as the Yang, the most sincere and the most kind, the more righteousness in the world will be there, which will be of great help in suppressing demons. .”
"I want to learn Buddhist Zen."
"Buddhist Zen." After hearing this, Hui Wen frowned slightly.
Fang Chen said doubtfully:
"What? Are there any conditions for learning this Buddhist Zen method?"
Huiwen shook his head.
“No, both Buddhist Dharma and Buddhist martial arts can be learned, but Buddhist Zen methods are only given to those who are destined to have them. People who do not have Buddha nature will not be able to learn them even if they get them. It’s just a waste of time.”
“If you don’t teach me and give it a try, how do you know I can’t learn it?”
“This”
< br>Hui Wen was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
"Then give it a try. There are many supreme and wonderful Dharma in our Buddhism. Because it is too difficult to understand, the poor monk only learned the Tathagata Bodhi Dharma. He can cultivate the Tathagata Bodhi Dharma and the spiritual body. The vast power of Buddha can purify people's hearts at first, and make demons and demons stand on the spot.
The poor monk started practicing this method at the age of three. He has been practicing it for seventeen years, but he has only practiced it at a few levels and does not understand the truth of Buddhism. Therefore, he has to go all the way to save the bandits. Otherwise, he only has one mouthful. The principles of the Dharma can make them put down their butcher knives and achieve good results."
Fang Chen nodded, listened carefully, and soon burned the Tathagata Bodhi Sutra on the light screen, and then started refining the blood essence. Start improving the Tathagata Bodhi Dharma.
Huiwen is very powerful and a righteous person, so he can be a protector for himself.
[In the first year, when you first learned Zen, your restless heart gradually calmed down, and your mind became stable and peaceful. 】
[In the tenth year, you have gained a little introduction to the practice of Zen and have understood a lot of Buddhist principles. In the process, you clearly feel that the power of your soul is increasing. Before, you clearly felt the separation between the body and the soul. There are signs of repair. 】
【In the thirtieth year, you will gradually get better at learning Zen. When you enter concentration, your mind will be calm and you will be able to enter concentration in an instant. 】
Hui Wen, who was on the opposite side of the fire, was about to start practicing meditation after being taught the Zen method. But at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and stared at the opposite side. Chen.
"It's strange, is he in trance? He only practiced for a moment and then he became trance? What a strong Buddha nature!"
Fang Chen's improvement continues.
[In the fiftieth year, your soul is strengthened. When you close your eyes, your thoughts can spread out of thin air and sense your surroundings. This kind of perception is several times stronger than the perception of physical breath, and it is extremely precise. 】
[In the first hundred years, your Tathagata Bodhi Sutra has become more proficient, and your soul is as strong as a century-old monk. 】
[In the second hundred years, your Tathagata Bodhi Sutra will be completed, you will understand the Bodhi Zen, and your Buddha nature will be achieved. 】
[In the third hundred years, you understand the true meaning of Tathagata.]
Feeling Fang Chen’s increasingly strong Buddha nature, Hui Wen was shocked, his eyes widened, his face filled with tears. He looked in disbelief at the deeper and deeper Buddha nature revealed in Fang Chen.
The next moment, a golden halo slowly appeared on the back of Fang Chen's head. This halo was invisible to ordinary people, and could only be felt by those who practiced deeply, or by demons and ghosts whose attributes were relatively restrained.
"Buddha's Halo! He has even cultivated the Buddha's Halo!"
Hui Wen's heart beat faster until he saw golden Buddha power emanating from Fang Chen's body, pouring into the air, forming a line Huiwen could no longer hold back the golden Buddha statue that was more than two meters high.
“Forging the golden body of the Tathagata? The peak of the Tathagata Bodhi Sutra!
He actually practiced the Tathagata Bodhi Sutra to the peak of great achievement in an instant? This is impossible, this is impossible, this How is that possible?
Among the sages of the past generations of Bodhi Temple, the one with the fastest breakthrough in spiritual power spent three years in retreat before he could comprehend the entire Tathagata Bodhi Sutra. The slowest to comprehend the entire Tathagata Bodhi Sutra, the Supreme Buddha also spent nearly a hundred years. , how could he be able to decipher all the mysteries of the Tathagata Bodhi Sutra in an instant! ? ”
At this moment, Hui Wen’s heart collapsed. Fang Chen’s talent, which in his eyes was too shocking, completely subverted his cognition.
He looked at the golden Buddha , eyes full of awe, envy, confusion, and a trace of jealousy
