Chapter 49: Chanting
The Great Zen Temple is very large, as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, the undisputed overlord of Buddhism after the Zen secret dispute, the building in the temple can fully reach the point of "A Fang Gong Fu" as said, the kind of five steps on the first floor and ten steps on the pavilion.
"It's a pity that no matter how magnificent the building is, it will be turned into a scorched earth in the end. A page of the book suddenly sighed.
"It's all the fault of those people who blaspheme the Buddha," a cold glint flashed on the face of the mountain hermit, "Nalanda Temple, with the help of the power of the three-phase gods, has completely entered the evil path, if it weren't for the opponent of the Daomen, the abbot of the heart would have made Nalanda Temple pay the price." ”
'So I saved the peacock thieves from the ······ One page thought a little speechlessly.
He glanced at Shan Yin beside him a little meaningfully, and secretly labeled him as a heart.
Although this person is a hermit cultivator with hair cultivation, his respect for the heart is a bit excessive, and he doesn't look like a hermitage.
Generally speaking, because of the long-term avoidance of the world, the temperament of the hermit is relatively indifferent, and there will be a sense of respect for Buddhist monks such as Xinyuan, but it should not be so explicit.
A number of thoughts suddenly popped up in someone's mind, but on the surface, he still said calmly: "With the help of external forces, it will not last long, and Nalanda Temple will pay the price for what they have done." ”
"Is that what the layman thinks?"
Yama Yin seemed to be more prosperous, and talked as he walked with a page of the book, introducing him to the monks from all over the place.
He really doesn't look like some kind of hermitage, at least a hermit person doesn't know all the origins of the monks who come here, and he knows everything very thoroughly.
Although the page of the book is thoughtful, it is still easy to talk on the surface, and to reply at the right time, without showing enthusiasm or detachment.
"Those who wear simple monk's robes are all Buddhist friends of Faxiang Temple, and their line focuses on spiritual cultivation, although they don't value the physical body, but their daily practice is often based on penance.
And although the monks of the Faxiang Temple only practice the Dharma body, they have the secret method of fusing the Dharma body and the physical body, and once they reach the realm of Tongshen, the Dharma body and the physical body are completely unified, and the physical strength is not inferior to that of the golden body warrior. Shan Yin's eyes gestured to a group of monks wearing white-washed monk robes not far away, and whispered.
After the Buddhist warriors arrive at the True Dan Realm, after condensing the relics, they can be divided into two cultivation methods: the Dharma Body and the Golden Body. The Dharma body focuses on the training of qi and spirits, and the golden body focuses on the training of the body.
Of course, there is no shortage of fellow practitioners of both. In other words, many Buddhist martial artists are both cultivators, and even if they don't cultivate together, the golden body is also the first choice.
Martial artists who specialize in the Dharma Body, because their physique is too weak, can be said to be standard brittle. Even because of the lack of tempering of the physical body, even non-physical martial arts practitioners are inferior.
Faxiang Temple can be mixed into one of the three major Buddhist temples with the practice of the Dharma body, which is indeed not to be underestimated.
"I heard that Master Wulai, the abbot of Faxiang Temple, is also a supreme powerhouse, and I don't know what kind of demeanor he will have. Later, Yama Yin said with emotion.
"Oh?" a page of the book looked a little curious, "Haven't you seen Master Wulai?"
"Haha, Master Wulai sits in Faxiang Temple all the year round, and rarely goes out, how can you see it in Xia?"
"You haven't even seen it, so how can you see it? Don't forget, even the situation of Faxiang Temple was introduced by you. The page of the book said with a smile.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, the two finally approached the dojo of the Great Zen Temple, which was the place where the Buddha Bathing Festival was held.
In the distance, you can hear the real Sanskrit chanting, lingering in the ears and resounding in the sky.
“······ Just as the Buddhas have passed away with immeasurable merits, so I should attain immeasurable good roots for the sake ······of my body."
As an important festival of Buddhism, the Buddha Bathing Festival will naturally not be missing the puja. In the past, even if the Great Zen Temple did not invite the temples, there would also be temples from all sides spontaneously uniting, or directly choosing a place to summon Buddhist monks to hold a Dharma meeting.
And this year is the call of the Great Zen Temple, which is convenient for the Great Zen Temple to chant first, and then after all things are discussed.
The scripture that the monks in the ashram are reciting now is the "Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra", which is one of the very few sutras in the Buddhist scriptures that is not asked by the Buddha's disciples, but by the Buddha without asking himself, and it is also one of the three sutras of the Pure Land.
The Three Sutras of the Pure Land come from the Pure Land sect, which, like Zen Buddhism, is one of the two branches that have had the most profound influence on Buddhism in the Central Plains.
The mystery of "Huayan", the secret essence of "Fahua", the heart of all Buddhas, and the Sinan of the Bodhisattva's ten thousand lines are not here.
This is the sutra of the Pure Land Sect, which reveres the Buddha and takes it as the method of returning to the sect of a generation of Buddhism.
In short, as long as you recite the Buddha every day and do nothing, you will be able to be reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss after death, which is a great weapon for Buddhist mission.
In fact, Buddhism can have so many followers, and the Pure Land sect has made great contributions.
But it's a pity that in the world of martial arts, I don't know if I can be reborn in bliss just by chanting Buddha, but I am sure that I will die sooner.
The Pure Land sect recited Buddha, but lacked the power to protect itself, and was finally destroyed overnight under the joint plan of some enemies.
However, although the Pure Land sect collapsed, the missionary philosophy of the Pure Land sect was still passed down and absorbed by other sects, completely creating the heyday of Buddhism.
Of course, the purpose of reciting one of the Three Sutras of the Pure Land today is not only for the puja, but also for the common purpose of the Buddhist monks - the Pure Land of Bliss.
Although there are no signs yet, a page of the book can already feel that the holy place of Buddhism in the void is echoing the scriptures recited by the monks, and there is a faint sign of the present world.
His eyebrows and Buddha texts have quietly flashed a trace of Buddha light, such as the three Dharma seals are echoing with the Pure Land, if it is not for the suppression of a page of books, at this time Shan Yin may be able to find the changes in the eyebrows of the Buddha.
Walking in a little further, the Sanskrit sound became more and more powerful, although there was no omen of the golden lotus and the swastika in the sky, but this was only because the monks did not concentrate on the true qi, but the recitation of pure unity of mind and mind.
But such a huge momentum still made the outline of a giant Buddha faintly appear in the air.
The monks who came to the scene later, like water flowing into the sea, recited "The Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra" and blended into the monks.
The monks in the dojo are all facing the center, sitting in a circle, spreading out in a circle from the very center, just like the legendary Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty, facing the most central place.
And in the center of the monks, it is a colorful glazed floating tower. Under the sunlight, the glazed floating tower reflects the colorful brilliance, forming a solemn Buddha light.
Around the spire, two figures bathed in the Buddha disc sit in the air, their eyes slightly closed, silently reciting the scriptures while guiding the hearts of the monks, so that they can gather on the glazed floating temple.
