I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 1076 All Four Are Empty (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

"Contemplation of the body, also known as contemplation of the body, contemplates the impurities of the body, from head to toe, step by step, and sees the 36 unclean things in the body, full of lochia, and finally does not give birth to lust for it."

"Looking at the body itself, you can see that the external appearance is not clean, and all kinds of filth and evil are constantly flowing from the nine holes, such as muddy tears from the eyes, scabs from the ears, purulent mucus from the nose, saliva from the mouth, urination and defecation, etc., all kinds of unclean things , fills the body, and often flows out continuously, like a leaky bag containing things..."

On the way, Jiang Zhou recited Fang De's "Contemplation of Body Thoughts·Bone Meridians" repeatedly in his mind, which is a general outline of body thoughts.

It talks about "contemplating the impurity of the body", but it actually tells how "impure" the physical body of a mortal is, but the word "impure" is not the same as "dirty".

All kinds of filth in the world, all kinds of filth in the body, and all kinds of karma in life and after life are all "unclean".

Even if you pour all the water from all over the world to wash it, it will be difficult to clean it.

In the general outline of this scripture, it is pointed out that such various "impurities" all come from the "four major impurities".

The so-called four elements are the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

As Jiang Zhou recited, it gradually became clear.

The "Four Great Elements" are actually the root of the difference between Western religions and Taoist religions.

Taoism says "five elements", the source of all things in the world.

Western religions say that the "Four Great Factors" are also the source of everything in the world.

In fact, they are all the same thing, but they have different names and usages.

In this general outline, the body is impure from the "Four Great Elements", and the body should also be purified from the "Four Great Elements".

In fact, it is still the "five elements" at all, and the "four majors" are used to refine the body.

This is "always impure, always able to be purified".

Looking further down, it is the specific method.

It is a book on thinking, contemplating that there are countless "thoughts" in the human body, and each thought can be turned into an "eye".

This is called "the eye of the sky".

Contemplating thoughts like the eyes of the sky, you can show the inner body, and observe along the body, in every detail.

This is also different from the spiritual mind he practiced to reflect the void and see the inner scene.

According to his understanding, it is probably the difference between microcosm and macrocosm.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior, but what he has practiced before are all "macroscopic" methods, but he lacks an understanding of himself.

With this scripture, it will be of great help to understand oneself from the "microscopic" point.

Jiang Zhou recited scriptures silently while riding on the horse, undulating like waves, his body was restless, but his heart was still and calm.

Visualize according to the law, everything in the center is chaotic and chaotic, without light and darkness.

Gradually, I felt dense things like black ants wriggling everywhere in my body.

These "black ants" gnawed at his body non-stop, the itching was unbearable, but they couldn't scratch, which only made him twitch unconsciously.

People outside noticed his actions and were puzzled.

"Jiang Zhou, what are you doing?"

Yan Xiaowu, who was following beside him, was puzzled.

Cheng Yaojin was worried about putting this "dirty thing" in the cooker's camp because the worm demon used it to spread the benign worms, so Yan Xiaowu was able to break away from his identity as a cooker and was placed next to Jiang Zhou to take care of him.

If Jiang Zhou didn't hear him, Yan Xiaowu thought he was dozed off, so he wanted to push him away.

But Gao Di stopped him: "Don't touch him."

Yan Xiaowu was taken aback: "Why?"

"Understanding the Dharma while moving, and not afraid of the invasion of internal evil and external demons? Simply ignorant!"

Li Zhenxian, who was guarding Zhao Taizhen's chariot in front, also turned around at this time.

His family has a long history, and he can see the crux at a glance.

A corner of the chariot curtain was lifted, and Zhao Taizhen also cast a visiting gaze.

Li Zhenxian saw the beauty's face, and immediately smiled.

But when Zhao Taizhen opened his mouth, his expression froze.

"Brother Dao Li, I think Brother Dao Jiang has gained some enlightenment, and I'm fine here. Brother Dao doesn't need to guard here. Why don't you take care of Brother Dao Jiang."

"……Yes."

Although Li Zhenxian was anxious in his heart, facing the beautiful woman, he still didn't want to be disobedient in the slightest. He responded with a forced smile, and drove his horse back to Jiang Zhou's side.

With a stinky face, he stared at Jiang Zhou.

I see, I can't see you to death!

Jiang Zhou was unaware of the outside world.

At this time, he visualized the origin of thoughts in his body, like ants gnawed away, and it changed from numb and itchy to painful and itchy, which was unbearable.

I can't wait to give birth to countless hands, tearing and scratching fiercely.

With this thought in my life, many "hands" really came out, scratching at the itching place.

"laugh……"

Amidst the countless soft sounds, Jiang Zhou only felt that his "eyes" were suddenly bright, breaking through the chaos, and he could see countless "spectacles".

At this time, a scripture flowed through my mind:
"All eye organs, in the void, can see forms. This body only has hairy claws and teeth, thin skin, fat and blood, muscles and bone marrow, raw and cooked, yellow and white phlegm marks, large and small intestines, unclean feces and urine, liver and gallbladder intestines and stomach, fat marrow essence Blood, tears, saliva, and skulls on top of their heads..."

This is what he saw now.

It seems that there are countless "eyes" growing in the body, and every detail in the body is exposed under the "eyes".

Just one word: Dirty!

Jiang Zhou felt disgusted after "watching" himself.

Just like this, if he has become a golden body of seven treasures, if he is an ordinary person, how disgusting would he be?
Now he understands why there are all kinds of precepts in Western religions, such as drinking, meat, fishy food, beauty and sex.

Most importantly, how could they quit?
After seeing all this, he completely understood.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to quit, if you know that there is such filth in your flesh and blood, even if it is delicious and beautiful in the world, you won't be able to drink it.

Jiang Zhou held back his nausea and took a closer look at his inner body.

Among all kinds of flesh and blood filth, the most obvious place is a spine like a white jade pillar.

It's just mottled and filthy, and there are countless densely packed tiny holes, countless grotesque bugs coming in and out, wriggling endlessly, so densely packed, it's too horrible to look at.

This was the first time he saw his own bones so clearly.

Counting carefully, there are 45 bones on the spine, [-] bones on the chest, [-] bones on the left and right side ribs, and nine joints and hundreds of skeletons with many fine veins, like a net, showing every detail.

It turned out that the so-called "bones 45" only refers to the number of spines, not that there are only 45 bones in the human body.

Just because this spine is the system of all bones, and it also connects all veins.

The golden body of the seven treasures has the seven treasures of essence, blood, qi, marrow, brain, kidney, and heart, but the bones and veins in the body are not among them.

This method just made up for the two vacancies for him.

Once the mind and sky eyes are completed, one can "contemplate the impurity of the body, know how to do when walking, know how to stand when standing, know how to sit when sitting, know how to lie when lying down, and understand clearly in the mind."

Regenerating the power of the "Four Great Elements", you are "refining your body" all the time, all the time.

This is the so-called "always impure, always able to be purified".

Generally speaking, the key points of this method lie in the two methods of "Thinking and Sky Eye" and "Four Great Body Refining".

However, Jiang Zhou felt that the most profound part lies in the word "chang".

He once learned the way of Kurong from the old monk Kurong, and realized a little bit of permanence and impermanence.

The so-called Nirvana enlightenment has four virtues: permanence, happiness, ego, and purity.

Constant and unchanging without birth and death, it is called Changde; Nirvana and eternal peace, it is called Le Virtue; To be at ease, it is the Lord and Dependent, and the nature does not change, it is called My Virtue; Pure virtue.

The four virtues are the realm of "Tathagata".

Only one "permanence", although not a Tathagata, is also involved in the threshold of the highest realm of Buddhism.

Therefore, in the general outline of the scriptures, there is the conclusion that "seeing the body really, not being disturbed by all evils, if you follow the body and observe it, you can reach Nirvana".

The root of this "Thinking of the Body" refers directly to the "constant" state, and it is worthy of being one of the fundamental principles of Western religion.

This is a treasure for him.

Unfortunately, in this article, there are only how to visualize the thoughts in the "bones and veins", how to use the heavenly eyes to see various impurities in the bones and veins, and how to refine all kinds of impurities with the "Four Great Elements".

Jiang Zhou imagined that the "Five Elements" in the body have already been accomplished, and the "Four Elements" can only be accomplished in a blink of an eye.

In the inner body, the miraculous power of earth, fire, water, and wind is gradually generated, pouring into the bones and veins, soaking it little by little.

Looking from the outside, it was only felt that there was light blooming all over him suddenly, but the light was obviously not there.

That feeling is like a dusty mirror, suddenly a layer of dust is wiped off, and the blurry scene in the mirror is suddenly clear.

To put it simply, he suddenly looks clean and pleasing to the eye, and there is also a slight strange fragrance coming out.

"It's an evil door..."

Li Zhenxian, who was staring at him from the side, was a little dumbfounded, and murmured.

Even he felt that Jiang Zhou was suddenly much more pleasing to the eye.

Yan Xiaowu was also staring intently, nodding his head in agreement.

Is this his brother Jiang who stepped on his mother?
Gao Ji also had a strange light in his eyes, and said softly: "The four elements are all empty..."
