Chapter 189: Empty Thoughts, Empty Paths, Empty Hearts
Soon came to the side of the Dharma body with bait on the fishing hook, and after bowing to it respectfully, Huan Yin respectfully hugged his fist and asked, "Senior, please give me advice, how can I get the bait?"
The Dharma Body glanced at Huan Yin and slowly spoke: "Thinking of emptiness, then the Tao is empty." If the road is empty, the heart is empty. If the heart is empty, the empty path will appear by itself. ”
After saying a word, the Dharma Body turned his eyes and didn't look at Huan Yin again. Huan Yinwu stood in place and pondered carefully.
Actually, what the Dharmakaya said was not difficult to understand. Especially for people with a high level of understanding like Huan Yin, it is even simpler.
The so-called "mind empty" means to empty the mind. There is not a single thought in the head, not a single thought in the heart, as if the whole world has been forgotten. In this way, the so-called "Tao Kong" can be achieved.
Dao emptiness means that after forgetting everything, ignoring everything, or even denying everything, all the avenues that you have built in this life are left behind. For Huan Yin, it is to completely forget the fundamental Taoism of the "Immeasurable True Sutra", or even directly deny it.
After the Tao is empty, it is natural to reach the realm of "emptiness of the heart". And the so-called "heart emptiness" is the vast starry sky that Huan Yin saw when he was introspective before, and many stars in it, even the largest and most dazzling one in the middle, have disappeared. In this way, the whole starry sky can no longer be called a starry sky, but an empty space.
Only when we have reached such a completely ethereal state, and there is nothing left in our minds, as if we had never been born in these Three Realms, and have not been affected by anything in the Three Realms, can we finally remove all the fog and truly distinguish the true path. In other words, bait can be born on the hook.
It's just that although the words of the Dharma Body are easy to understand, the word "empty path" at the end still makes Dehuanyin's heart move slightly.
The empty road should be the name of Donghuang Taiyi Avenue, maybe this name was given by Donghuang Taiyi himself. Empty way, empty way, that is, there is no way. Who would have thought that the avenue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi would be nothing?
With these two words alone, Huan Yin not only felt unpredictable, but also felt too mysterious, as if if this Tao really existed, it would have already departed from the realm of reality and reached an unimaginable dimension.
However, Huan Yin was still very sure that there was indeed nothing wrong with the words of the Law Body. This is not only because the Dharma Body has bait, but also because the Dharma Body has the word "empty" in one sentence, which is exactly in line with Huan Yin's previous understanding of denying the whole world. It seems that the Tao of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is the negation of the Three Realms.
At this point, Huan Yin didn't dare to think about it anymore. Because he felt that the Tao of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was too terrible and incredible. After all, Huan Yin is not willing to deny everything.
Slowly, Huan Yin sat down with his eyes cross-legged and began this round of realization.
Soon, two full months passed. Since the beginning of this round of realization, Huan has sat cross-legged and has not moved at all. There was no struggle on his body, and there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary. Huan Yin's whole person seems to have entered a state of retreat, and he has not planned to wake up for a long time.
The attention of the Dharma Body was still on Huan Yin's body, but none of them had said a word. They all know that what they are talking at the moment will affect Huan Yin's mind to some extent, and if Huan Yin wants to be empty, it will be even more difficult.
However, all the Dharma Bodies are constantly speculating in their hearts.
In order to reach the realm of "emptiness", it took 100,000 years for the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Although Donghuang Taiyi realized it on his own, he didn't mention it by others, and he did it very well, when his heart was empty, it was equivalent to completely abandoning his life's cultivation. However, the difficulty of achieving such a state can be seen.
Huan has an amazing understanding, and there are tips from his predecessors, so he can take a lot of shortcuts. Moreover, I am afraid that Huan Yin does not intend to achieve the true "emptiness of the heart", but only needs to be able to distinguish the truth in a moment and moment. In this way, the time he will spend will inevitably be greatly reduced.
However, many Dharma bodies still believe that if it weren't for a hundred years, Huan Yin would definitely not be able to achieve the realm of "emptiness of mind". And even the most optimistic about Huan Yin has set the time at more than ten years.
Huan Yin is immersed in his own world and does not know all kinds of speculation from the outside world. However, there is one thing that the Dharma Body did not guess wrong, this time Huan Yin was not ready to comprehend the so-called "true way" of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, so he planned to take advantage of it.
For Huan Yin, denying everything in this world is simply nonsense. Therefore, he didn't dare to pay too much attention to the Tao of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he just wanted to reach a level that was enough to catch fish.
And if you want to catch a fish, you need to be "empty-hearted" before you can discern the truth. But Huan knew in his heart that if his true heart was empty, it would be tantamount to forgetting what he had learned all his life, and even forgetting his three lives and three lives, as if he had never set foot in the Three Realms. This kind of self-abandonment and severance of all practices, he will never dare to do. Therefore, he is only ready to achieve a momentary emptiness of mind, that is, to be able to discern the truth for a moment. In that case, as long as Huan Yin catches the fish with bait during that period of time, he can get out of trouble.
As for after that time, because Huan Yin didn't really achieve the "emptiness of the heart", many stars in his heart would reappear. Even if he was like an ordinary man when his "heart was empty", after that, he was still the original Huan Yin.
Huan Yin knew that there might be problems in doing so, after all, if he had to repeatedly switch between the "empty heart" and the normal state, no one knew if there would be any accidents. But for today's Huan Yin, this is also the only way.
For two months, Huan Yin had been doing this. According to his thoughts, as long as he can find the feeling, even if it is just a breathing time, the mind is empty, and the way is empty, and the mind is empty. In this way, what seems to be a three-step thing is actually done in one go, and when it is all done, you can have a breathing time to see the so-called "empty path".
However, after such a long time, Huan Yin has not even achieved this level. And it's not just that it hasn't been done, it's that it's still far behind.
Huan Yin tried to forget the path he had cultivated in this life, but even those Dao methods that he had long since used, even the most basic fire snake technique, it was extremely difficult for him to forget. Because forgetting here is a real negation, a belief that this technique is fake. However, Huan Yin used the Fire Snake Technique to shine in the ring of the first martial arts competition, how could he forget it?
Occasionally, with Huan Yin's efforts, he may really be able to do a small part. For example, when a month and a half had passed, he had inadvertently forgotten that he had not used the Extinction Palm, and the star point representing the Extinction Palm had disappeared.
However, as he continued to work hard, he finally forgot some things again, but the star point representing the Extinction Palm reappeared, which instantly made Huan Yin feel that his head was big.
In this way, Huan Yin gradually discovered that what he originally thought was the easiest realization was actually the most difficult. Although there is no need to distinguish between points, it is straightforward and easy to understand. But if you want to do it, it's too difficult and too difficult.
If you deny your own way, even one, it is difficult to climb to the sky. And to deny all of them, or to deny them at the same time, Huan Yin doesn't even know if he can really do it.
What's even more bitter is that on this road of understanding, there is no contradiction and no need to entangle. In this way, there is no opportunity for argumentation, no space for thinking and giving birth to variables.
The methodology has been set and the goals have been fully demonstrated. But you can't. It's like walking in the sea of flowers on the other side, you know that after walking through the sea of flowers, you can reach the other side and get rid of the sea of suffering. But no matter how you go, you can't finish it.
Time passed again, and when Huan Yin already knew that this time he didn't need to be skillful, but downright hard work, he also knew that he could only use time and perseverance to resolve everything.
So, Huan Yin simply forgot the time first. Because time is not only his way, but also affects his current mind.
It is obviously wise to do so. When Huan Yin forgot the time, he had no concept of time. And without the concept of time, there is no need to worry about the only sixty years of this trip to the heavenly realm, no worries that your reincarnation blessing seal is only ten years, and you don't have to worry about all the changes in the outside world.
In this way, everything began to become unburdened for Huan Yin. When his mood is relaxed, his efficiency increases.
It's just that time is forgotten, but it still exists. Because of this closed eye, a whole year soon passed......
