The cycle of life and death, like this in this life, is the sin of the previous life. That's right. Or rather, the fruit of today, the cause of yesterday. The cause of today, then, is the fruit of tomorrow. If we want to get out of this entangled sea of karmic suffering, and out of the cycle of life and death, we have to work hard today. For oneself, we are crossing ourselves, and for others, we are crossing others.

Therefore, the Prajnaparamita Diamond Sutra has a cloud, "The mind was unattainable in the past, the mind is unattainable in the present, and the mind is unattainable in the future." ”

Therefore, the beginning of the "Book of Changes" is a trigram, and there is a saying that "Tianxingjian is a gentleman who strives for self-improvement." ”

Therefore, the "Analects" also says, "Gou is new every day, and every day is new." ”

It's just that in the Diamond Sutra, "the heart cannot be obtained in the past, the heart cannot be obtained in the present, and the heart cannot be obtained in the future." The emphasis is on the interpretation of "emptiness", and the person who cultivates the Buddha should keep his original mind and destroy or transcend the illusion of the past, present, and future. The implicit meaning is that since they are all false, why are they still haunted by them, why are they still bound by them, why do they not know the nature of their minds, and return to their original minds?......

Enlightenment, in the snow, in the concentration, many thoughts, such as snow-capped mountains, such as blue sky, such as white clouds, for thousands of years, in an instant.

Suddenly, the earth moved, and a crack opened under the Wuxu seat, and Wuxu's body sank with it. A white light hit his cheeks, and Wu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, the ice and snow on his body had already melted, and he was already in a cave.

Around this cave, all kinds of ghosts and gods are vividly painted, all in the form of wrath, and under the light of the white light in front of them, it looks extremely eerie and terrifying. And the source of that warm white light, in the haze, there is a Buddha statue, and the treasure is changing from time to time.

Wuxu stepped forward with his palms together, and through the warm white light, he saw a large handprint on the stone wall. This big mudra seems to be ordinary, with five fingers stretched out and pressed on the stone wall, but the feeling given to Wuxu is constantly changing. Those five fingers, like five lotus petals, stretched and closed, and like five young women, swaying colorfully.

Wu Xu, suddenly remembered that in the Yuandu Tianyuan Yanshou Temple, he followed Dorjee and others to study and practice, and once saw in the Tibetan Buddhist classics that Guru Padmasambhava had eight kinds of Dharma in the world, one of which was the Lotus Master of the Sun, who showed all kinds of miracles in the sun. Moreover, Guru Padmasambhava, when he entered Tibet to teach the Dharma, when he left, because he was worried about the end of the Dharma era in the future, he specially left a lot of mental Dharma methods, which were hidden in secret places in various places on the snowy plateau, and even among the five great ones. In every place, Guru Padmasambhava left a mark and used it as a mark to serve and protect countless ghosts and gods for future generations.

Referring to the two of them, I suddenly realized that this was the so-called "hidden" left by the legendary Guru Padmasambhava. But Wuxu also clearly remembered that Guru Padmasambhava had given instructions in every hidden place, and unmistakably gave each hidden treasure the time of extraction, the name of the person who took it, and the destined person who would uphold the teachings.

I came here inexplicably, and there is always fate. Is it the one who takes the Tibet, or is it the one who holds the fate? Wuxu tried to sacrifice his own mandala realm.

I saw that the big mudra on the stone wall suddenly flew out as if it had come to life, and pressed it on the mandala Dharma realm of enlightenment without warning.

That's right, it's pressed on the mandala realm of enlightenment. In the Mandala Dharma Realm, there is no reality and no void, but the Enlightenment Void Divine Consciousness has this feeling of being held down. It sounds like an illusion, but it's real.

Because, bursts of Sanskrit chanting, from the void into the consciousness of the void, followed by a scripture. Wu Xuan felt carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked and excited. It turns out that this passage is about how to transform the dying. Enlightenment, since the extinction of the Dharma realm, self-contemplation and self-esteem, for the transcendence of others, there is no other way than to teach the Fa. Not to mention the rest, let's take this dying person as an example, Wuxu can only use the Pure Land Sect to teach him to recite Amitabha Buddha with one heart and die in bliss.

But in this text, the dying person, his various states and stages are described in detail, and different and corresponding methods are proposed. The core and key point of the investigation lies in the fact that at the moment of death, the person is actually in a clear and ethereal state that is impossible in ordinary times. At this time, talk about the way of life and death, impermanence, vacuum, and reveal the original mind, so that he can have an epiphany and not get lost, and quickly realize Bodhi with the blessings of the Buddhas.

Ranking officials, seeing this, may have questions. Why, after saying that after understanding this scripture in detail, one will "be shocked and excited"? A sentence of Amitabha Buddha, so simple, everyone can apply it, why do you still give up the simplicity and complexity?

All kinds of things here, if you want to talk about them in detail, are like the sand of the Ganges. Xiaosheng's qualifications are reckless, and he stutters clumsily, so he can only say it a little reluctantly.

One of them:

The Pure Land Sect's sound of Amitabha Buddha can indeed make the deceased reborn in the Western Heavenly Bliss. But this Amitabha Buddha is to have merit or purity. If someone is evil in the world and has committed boundless sins, and before he dies, he hears that there is such a thing as the Pure Land sect and Amitabha Buddha, and he reads it casually, he will not be able to be reborn in the Western Heavenly Bliss. To put it mildly, karma is too heavy, and the heart is not sincere, just say a casual word, and want to go to the western heavens? That's a dream. The Pure Land sect says that when you see the Buddha as soon as you hear Amitabha, you will die immediately, and that is what you want to recite with pure and sincere thought. Your karma is too heavy, how pure is your mind? How can you be pious when you think casually? There is a great deal of emphasis on this. There is a saying in the market outlook, no one can succeed casually, and the same is true. Perhaps, when you are dying, you will have to cultivate for many years.

In contrast, this passage speaks a little better, although there are similar problems. However, because we have broken down the various states and stages of the dying person due to various karmic obstacles, there are many flexible responses. In this text, it is even taken into account that because the karma is too heavy, seven days after death, the person will not be able to get out of the sea of suffering, and he will be about to be reincarnated. (Seven days, let's just think it's an imaginary number; reincarnation doesn't have to be a human fetus.) In this case, there is a way to deal with this situation in this text. As for whether it will work out or not, that's one thing. After all, there is a superior law such as karma.

Second:

This passage gives many options for the transformation of the dying person. You can visualize the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that you practice and hear about in your daily life, and receive all kinds of blessings. It's not like the Pure Land sect has to be Amitabha. This is even more universal, taking into account the different past and present lives and karma of different people.

Thirdly:

This scripture hides the great secret of practice.

This scripture handed down by Guru Padmasambhava has a name in later generations, called "The Secret Method of Hearing and Teaching the Secret Method of Enlightenment in the Bardo", and is also called "The Tibetan Sutra of the Dead" by some people.

Wuxu comprehended this sutra, and while rejoicing in his heart, he found that there was an extra white lotus flower in his mandala Dharma realm. This white lotus flower floated in the middle of the Dharma Realm, and was not controlled by Enlightenment at all. Every time Wuxu wants to be driven by the divine consciousness, the white lotus flower disappears immediately, elusive, and there is also the law of the lotus flower birthday light lotus master, which appears in the Wuxu divine consciousness very solemnly, and around its law phase, there are countless vajra ghosts and gods, serving and guarding.

Only then did I realize that this place was indeed a hidden place, and the person who took this hidden treasure may be himself, but the person who can receive the cultivation is someone else. This "Bardo Wen Teaches the Secret Method" is just incidental, a reward for the collector?

Couldn't he have suffered this cause and effect, and he had to take on the obligation to pass on this hidden treasure to the destined person?, Wu thought in his heart, and flew out of the cave and broke through the seal of ice and snow.

As soon as he came out, Wuxu noticed that the mark he had left on Yang Yingrong's body had lost its senses, or disappeared. After a few days of secret visits, Wuxu learned that the Dharma King Zhequ of Drepung Temple had received a new concubine named Yangjin Zhuoma, and immediately rushed to Drepung Temple.

When Wuxu held the Vajra Secret of the Eight Sipas and died the righteous Buddha beads, he came to visit with a salute, and was immediately welcomed into the main hall of the temple, and all the great lamas in the temple appeared on the seat. But after some greetings, Wuxu found that he was the only one who did not see King Zhequ.

"Dare to ask His Holiness Zhequ in the monastery, can he be in the monastery now?" Wuxu asked, looking at the Grand Lama Tashi Pandan, the presiding officer of Drepung Monastery.

Tashi Pandan is also a real monk, and his teacher is the founder of the Tibetan Gelug school (also known as ****) Dzongkpa. The six peaks of Lushan were opened, and Zongkoba went up to Lushan, but he ordered all the disciples to stay in the temples of the Gelugpa. Tashi Pandan, when he heard that Wuxu came down from Lushan, was holding the Buddha beads of Ba Si Pa in order to personally lead many lamas in the temple to receive him. Unexpectedly, Wuxu got straight to the point.

Seeing the solemnity of Wuxu's face, Tashi Pandan immediately glanced slightly sideways at the person on the left beside him. The man immediately folded his palms and bowed down and replied, "King Zhequ, the day before yesterday, I had already retreated and practiced the Supreme Vajra Renewal Chakra. ”

His Holiness Na Zhequ seemed to have a very high status in the monastery, and Tashi Pandan didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just looked at Wuxu with a smile.

The so-called Vajra Wheel is a ritual in Tibetan Buddhist Tantra. Among them, there is a double cultivation content. Wuxu understood what he heard, but he knew that at this moment, it was not appropriate to continue to ask, so he had to change the topic and talk to Tashi Pandan and others about the recent situation of Lushan Lotus Peak.

Tashi Bandhan and the others listened very carefully. On the way, Tashi Pandan also inquired about Dzongkpa's condition several times. Zong Koba, Wu Xu, has a little impression of Lushan Lotus Law Peak, but he has only met twice from afar. Once, when Shi Wuxu first went to the Lushan congregation, and once when the true spirit of Sanskrit Muyu returned to its place. But both times, it was in a hurry, and the two did not have close contact. Rao was like this, but Tashi Pandan and the others seemed very happy.

Wuxu couldn't help asking, "After the opening of Lushan, although it is isolated from the world, real monks can come and go freely. Didn't the master go to Lushan once? ”

Tashi Pandan, slightly embarrassed, smiled but did not speak.

Seeing this, Wuxu didn't want to ask too much, and talked about some rumors and observations about the six peaks of Lushan Mountain and even the sea of clouds. Tashi Pandan and the others, although they were happy, still sat upright in a meticulous posture, and no one arbitrarily interrupted Wuxu's speech, but just listened quietly.

They are quite dignified and reserved, and they are very strict with themselves, unlike the lamas that Wuxu met in the Sakya Monastery a few days ago, who often heard the wonderful and important points, and spoke out loud and questioned from time to time. In such an atmosphere, a group of big lamas, dressed in red and yellow hats, like primary school students, sat on the ground, listened attentively, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in being a good teacher.

When Wuxu woke up, he realized that it was late at night.

Tashi Pandan broke the silence in the hall with a Buddha call, and then smiled at Wuxu and said, "Master Wuxu, these words have opened our eyes. It was getting late at this moment, and after fasting with me, the master rested in the Ganden Phodrang. Tomorrow, I will discuss the Dharma with the Master. ”

Wuxu also stayed here, and found out Yang Yingrong's intentions, so he clasped his palms and thanked him. That night, Wuxu stayed at Drepung Monastery.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Xuan got up, passed through a corridor with a boulder as a pillar, and saw the rear buildings along the mountain, rising one after another, and there were towering and precipitous three-storey buildings on the platform above, the top was golden, and the **** and treasure buildings were everywhere, and the sun was shining, looking up, like a piece of golden light Buddha land coming out of the void.

Suddenly, Tashi Pandan appeared in the middle of the group and raised his hand to Wuxu. Soon, a little lama trotted over and led Wuxu to the tall building above. Only then did Wuxu learn that this Ganden Pozhang was the courtyard of the dormitory presided over by the temple. Tashi Pandan placed himself in it, which was indeed quite courteous.

In this way, Wuxu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Last night, I originally planned to secretly search for Yang Yingrong under the pretext of visiting the temple today. The monks of Drepung Monastery and Tashi Pandan are so hospitable that they don't have to hide it, so they might as well say it bluntly.

After a moment of silence, Wuxu told Tashi Bandhan about Yang Yingrong. Tashi Pandan, furious, immediately took Wuxu and got up and rushed to the retreat of His Holiness Nadjok.

The retreat place of King Zhequ is in an independent Buddhist hall in Abazhacang behind the main hall of Drepung Monastery Tsoqin. When Wuxu arrived with Tashi Pandan, the seven or eight great lamas he saw in the main hall yesterday had already arrived, and some looked at Tashi Pandan with a slight hesitation, and more focused on Wuxu.

I saw that Tashi Pandan, under their silent gaze, walked calmly to the silent Buddha hall, his body exuding aura, and the pure Buddha power turned into auspicious clouds around him.

At this time, a great lama suddenly stepped forward a few steps, half-knelt on the ground, and bowed and said, "Tashi Pandan Tripa (presiding), Dsequ said before this retreat that he would subdue the biggest obstacle he had encountered since his practice, and if there is no urgent matter, do not disturb it. As soon as he finished speaking, two or three more great lamas silently stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Tashi Pandan.

"Is Zhequ taking the concubine named Yangjin Zhuoma with him to retreat?" Tashi Pandan asked in a deep voice.

The few great lamas who were half-kneeling on the ground nodded, and then said eagerly, "This good woman, born with a lotus body, has deep wisdom roots, although it is only a few days, but after we and other parties have assessed and determined that there is no hindrance, it will be approved. ”

At this time, several more great lamas rushed over.

Tashi Pandan glanced around at everyone present, and snorted softly angrily at the great lamas on the ground, "I'm not talking about this. That woman is the witch of the Lushan Prison Demon Peak. Master Wuxu, the Demon Guard, traced all the way from Lushan to here. But I don't want to, I was elected by you to be accepted as a concubine in the temple!"

Behind him, Wuxu also stepped forward and roughly explained Yang Yingrong's matter.

The four or five great lamas who were respectfully kneeling on the ground looked flustered.

Tashi Bandhan, without further ado, took another step, and wanted to use the method of ******** roar to summon the philosophical song.

"Tashi Pandan Tripa, if you forcibly interrupt the retreat now, Senior Brother Jequ will definitely be killed or injured. If I wait here to protect the Dharma, wait until 7749 days later, Zhequ will come out of the customs and then make a conclusion. "A great lama crawled and hugged Tashi Pandan's thigh, obviously having an extraordinary relationship with Zhequ.

The lamas present were also nodding people.

At this time, Wuxu saw it. King Nazhequ is quite influential among these lamas in Drepung Monastery, and even has become a force of his own. This Tashi Bandan is a bit of a pretext, and he wants to deal with King Zhequ, so he will try it openly today, but he doesn't want to be a little difficult to ride a tiger. sighed secretly in his heart, thought about it quickly, took another step forward, slightly revealed his true cultivation, and said loudly, "That witch is a witch from the Outer Heaven and the Great Freedom Palace, her cultivation is extraordinary, and her exercises are treacherous, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Wuxu and Tashi Pandan, two real monks, stood side by side, although their breath was deliberately restrained, but the invisible momentum and deterrence made all the great lamas present feel a little suffocated, and it was difficult for them to speak again.

Tashi Pandan no longer hesitated, and a string of deep Tibetan pronunciations came out of his mouth, and flew into the Buddha hall with a dazzling light.

At this time, in the Buddhist hall, a golden light suddenly rose, like a vast ocean. A burly monk figure slowly rose and emerged. Then, his eyes opened, and two golden rays of light shot out, stopping in the void like two rounds of scorching sun. He stared at Wuxu and Tashi Pandan for a moment, then suddenly got up, and countless ghosts, gods, and celestial maidens behind him moved like shadows.

When he stepped in front of Wuxu and Tashi Pandan, all the illusions disappeared without a trace, and the whole person was chic and lonely. He looked at Wuxu and Tashi Pandan and smiled slightly, "Two senior brothers, what is the so-called matter of working so hard to mobilize the people? Why don't you go into the Buddha hall and talk about it in detail?"

As soon as these words came out, those great lamas, who were already suspicious, became excited. Without asking, Zhequ opened his mouth to address the two senior brothers, Wuxu and Tashi Bandhan, to clearly inform everyone that he had been promoted to the real person level, and in terms of the general realm, he was on a par with Wuxu and Tashi Pandan. Especially the great lamas who were half-kneeling on the ground and complaining bitterly to Tashi Pandan, although they tried their best to suppress them, did not cheer or scream, but in the eyes of Tashi Pandan and Wuxu, they were already dancing with their eyebrows and unstoppable.

"Senior Brother Zhequ," Tashi Pandan looked around again, and finally turned his gaze to Wuxu, and said, "That Ming Concubine named Yangjin Zhuoma is actually the witch of Lushan Mountain Prison Demon Peak, where is she at this moment?"

"It turned out to be for this," Zhequ nodded without sadness or joy, and said with his palms together, "That witch has been subdued by me. “

Tashi Pandan looked at Wuxu, who looked at Zhequ, and after half a sound, he raised his hands and folded his palms and said respectfully to Zhequ, "I see. Good, good, good. “

Tashi Bandan, seeing that Wuxu couldn't find a flaw, the haze between his eyebrows flashed, and then he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhequ for being promoted to a real person." Then he said to the lamas, "Inform the monasteries, as well as the Nyingma, Sakya, and Kagyu sects, that in three days the monastery will hold a big celebration." “......

On the northwest side of the third floor of the Tsochen Hall, the Qiangpa Tongzhen (Maitreya saw liberation) hall, Tashi Pandan and Wuxu, standing in front of the eight-year-old statue of Maitreya Buddha, silent, respectfully incense. After the incense ceremony was finished, Tashi Pandan looked at the Buddha statue and sighed softly, "The Buddha is above, now on the snowy plateau, has it reached the era of the end of the Dharma? When will the Buddha be born to save sentient beings?" Yes, Tashi Pandan said so.

After hearing this, Wuxu couldn't help but be impressed, and he couldn't imagine that Tashi Pandan still had such insight. It is true that I also feel that in today's snowy plateau, the Sakya sect has gone through the development of the five ancestors of the Sakya, especially the Ba Si Pa has become the emperor and national teacher of the Mongolian Great Yuan, and has entered the stage of the integration of politics and religion, but I don't know whether the real monks and great virtues have gone to Lushan or what, those Sakya lamas who are now in power on the snowy plateau in the world have violated the Buddha's will, disobeyed the precepts, indulged in pleasure, and acted recklessly, and it can even be said that some lamas are simply demon king disciples wearing monk's clothes.

"Master Wuxu, was that witch really subdued and transformed by Zhequ?" Tashi Pandan suddenly said softly, "If Zhequ really subdues that witch and promotes it to the human level. I am afraid that after the great celebration three days later, the snowy plateau will be even more distant from the compassion of our Buddha, and there will be many monks who will indulge in worldly pleasures, do not keep the precepts, and are unwilling to make great wishes. “

Wuxu nodded, quite moved. If you think about it, Tashi Pandan's concern is indeed justified. The reason for this is simple. For example, if you eat, drink, and have fun all day long, kidnap people for double cultivation, and eat and drink men and women, it was originally said that it was not true cultivation, but as a result, if you were not careful, you subdued and transformed demons, and promoted real people, and cultivated in front of others.

"Typical demonstration" Here, Tashi Bandhan and others, if they want to change the status quo and supervise and guide, they are a bit of a teacher. For example, in the later life, we have common rumors or jokes, those who did not study well in the class in the past have now become bosses, and those who have studied well are now working for others.

Wuxu suddenly thought of the prophecy and guidance that is widely circulated in Tibetan Buddhism: In the age of the end of the Dharma, Guru Padmasambhava's support is very important. He was about to mention Guru Padmasambhava's mantra to Tashi Pandan, but suddenly it occurred to him that Guru Padmasambhava had disappeared from the outer heavens, and that Lu Yeqing might be a doppelganger of Guru Padmasambhava.

When Tashi Pandan recited the mantra of Guru Padmasambhava devoutly, the strange white lotus flower in the Dharma Realm of the Enlightenment Mandala suddenly shone with colorful brilliance, flew out of the Dharma Realm and floated in front of Tashi Pandan.

That's right

The bardo saves the wonderful scriptures, and the Tuas hides the fate of the people.

Everything is a plan for the end of the law, and the demon cultivation is really greedy.
