Chapter 14: Bodhicitta I

The mountain behind Daming Temple, the place where the abbots of Daming Temple retreated, and the place where Jianzhen practiced:

Darkness, pitch black, as if swallowing up a qiē darkness;

Quiet, falling sound, as quiet as time stands still;

In the middle of the secret room, on a dilapidated futon, an old monk slumped on his feet. This old monk has a ruddy complexion, without a trace of wrinkles, but his eyebrows are white, his eyebrows are kind, his treasure is solemn, and he looks like a monk, which makes people feel cordial and holy at first sight.

But now the old monk is motionless, without any breath of life in his body, as if he has passed away, but this does not mean that he has really passed away, but has entered an extremely rare cultivation realm, which is the "realm of silence" that can be encountered but cannot be sought in Buddhist practice.

I don't know how long later, the dark and silent secret room suddenly emitted a fragrant and sacred, peaceful sandalwood fragrance. The source of the sandalwood fragrance is actually the old monk, gradually, as the sandalwood fragrance becomes stronger and stronger, it seems that he is not satisfied with the sandalwood fragrance, the old monk's body begins to produce golden Buddha light, the Buddha light from weak to strong, like a bright lamp in the sea of bitterness, cutting through the endless darkness, bringing light.

If you look closely, the Buddha's light actually comes from inside the old monk's body, and it is mainly in the head and abdomen. The Buddha's light has a miraculous penetrating power, illuminating the inside of the old monk's body clearly:

The three veins and seven chakras of the old monk's body, the eight veins of the Qi Sutra flow with the golden true element, the golden true element runs in the meridians in a mysterious way, and the true element will thicken by one point every time it circulates, and then slowly inject it into the light source of the abdomen and head.

The light source in the abdomen of the old monk is actually the phantom of a golden lotus! The lotus absorbs the golden true element, constantly rotating and growing, and with the increase of absorbing the true element, the image of the lotus flower becomes more and more realistic;

Another light source is in the head of the old monk, the image is more magical; the head of the old monk seems to have become a transparent crystal under the illumination of the golden Buddha light, and the center of the light source is just in the human body spirit acupoint, also called "halogen", it is the place where the cultivator is located, at this time, there is a chicken-sized relic, the whole body is white relics, the outside of the relic, is a golden miniature version of the old monk, this is the old monk hard to cultivate the Buddhist relics and the original spirit.

The Yuan Shen sealed his hands with seals, and sat down, shooting out three white pillars of light with two thin and one thick on his palms and forehead, respectively, and injected them into the relics in front of him. With the injection of the pillar of light, the relics became larger and larger, more and more condensed, while the primordial spirit became smaller and smaller, and the color became lighter and lighter, and finally completely turned itself into a ray of light and injected into the relics; at the same time, the golden lotus phantom in the old monk's abdomen also absorbed the golden true yuan of his whole body, turning into a gold-like entity golden lotus.

At the same time as the old monk's whole body True Yuan and Yuan Shen disappeared, his heart beat "dong", and then the heartbeat began to be coherent, with "knock, knock, knock, knock" The sound of heartbeat, the heart shot out two pillars of light up and down, covering the golden lotus and the Lingtai relics in the abdomen, and the golden lotus and the relics also began to move towards the heart, gradually, the golden lotus and the relics finally arrived at the heart at the same time, the rotation of the golden lotus slowly slowed down, and finally stopped, and began to bloom slowly, and the relics also fell in the center of the lotus platform of the golden lotus after the golden lotus bloomed.

At the moment when the relics and the golden lotus came into contact, I don't know what wonderful reaction happened, and the two burst out of the white gold light at the same time, and the white gold light came out from the old monk's body, illuminating the closed room like daylight, and after a while, the platinum light gradually converged, and the brightness of the room gradually dimmed, and the old monk's body also underwent earth-shaking changes!

In the abdomen of the old monk, there is a Buddha statue, the Buddha statue is golden all over, the hands, feet, mouth, nose, eyes and ears are complete, the hands are sealed, the Jia falls and sits, the face is compassionate, the treasure is solemn, and the living is a shrunken old monk.

The Buddha statue falls and sits on a nine-grade lotus platform, the lotus platform is as white as snow, fresh as water, the flowers bloom nine pins, lifelike, it is the original golden lotus incarnate.

With the appearance of the Buddha statue, the sandalwood fragrance in the secret room also stopped dispersing, and most of the Buddha light was put into the head of the old monk, which was transformed by the spiritual platform and scattered in the back of the head, forming a circle of colorful Buddha light in the back of the head.

With a move of his eyebrows, the old monk had already woken up from the "Realm of Silence", and at the same time, there was a burst of joyful laughter outside the door: "Haha, Brother Xian, you are really a rare genius in Buddha cultivation for a thousand years, only a few decades, you have actually achieved such an achievement, congratulations on your cultivation to a higher level, your bodhicitta has been cultivated, and you are one step closer to becoming a Buddha." ”

That's right, the old monk is the current abbot of Dayun Temple, Jianzhen, and the only person who talks to him so cordially is Yun Canghai.

Jianzhen opened his eyes, although there was a hint of excitement, but after being the abbot for decades, he still said slowly: "Amitabha, Brother Yun has won the award, and the junior brother has to thank you for your guidance, otherwise, how can I combine the "Void Sutra" with the "Great Light Prajna Sutra" to create this "Nirvana Buddha Decision", and cultivate the 'Nine Grades of Bodhichitta' that others have accumulated for thousands of years and can only be cultivated in the ninth reincarnation?"

Buddhist practice is very different from Taoism:

Taoism cultivates Jindan and Yuanying, while Buddhism cultivates relics and dharma.

Taoism pays attention to the double xiu of life, so most cultivators are swallowing aura, refining the body, refining lead and mercury externally, adjusting the dragon and tiger internally, and finally conceiving a baby, surviving the catastrophe, taking off karma, and soaring into immortals, which is the cultivation of the original god body together.

Most of the Buddhist practitioners meditate and participate in meditation to realize the Zen state and strengthen the Buddha's mind, or travel the world to experience the state of mind in the red dust, break through karma, and understand the Dharma, or do good deeds and accumulate virtues, purify sentient beings, and experience the path of compassion and merit from the merits obtained. As long as the realm and merit reach a certain level, you can take off your physical body and ascend to the ground, so the physical body is not important to the Buddha cultivator.

Compared with Taoism, Buddhism pays more attention to epiphany and merit; epiphany can improve the realm and condense the spirit; merit can enhance luck, and even some Buddhist exercises can absorb merit to condense the golden body and Buddhist relics.
