The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 814 Nirvana
After hearing the old monk's Buddha name, Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but look at the old monk again.

Nowadays, the Buddha name of Buddhist monks in China is mostly "Amitabha".

Amitabha.The teacher of the Western Paradise to educate all beings, the Sanskrit word "Amitabha", translated into Chinese means "Infinite Light or Infinite Life", because Amitabha Buddha has infinite light and life span, so it is named Amitabha.

The two most powerful schools of Buddhism today are Zen Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism.

The head teacher of Zen Buddhism is Namo Sakyamuni Buddha, and the head teacher of Pure Land Buddhism is Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Zen has very high requirements on the ability of practitioners. Its theoretical basis is mainly the "Heart Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra". , so it is more popular with the scholar-official class.

However, the Pure Land School has very low requirements on the ability of its disciples, and it doesn't matter even if they don't know a single word. Its theoretical basis is mainly the "Buddha's Infinite Life Sutra" and other three volumes.Pay attention to the power of thoughts and vows. As long as the disciples recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha" often, as long as they recite with one mind, they can be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss before they die, and be received and guided by Amitabha Buddha and his attendants Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Compared with Zen Buddhism, which is aimed at the scholar-official class, Pure Land Buddhism is used to compete for the middle and lower classes.

Although there are constant struggles between the two veins, it has to be said that the Buddhist sect is indeed much more reliable than the old men and women of the Taoist sect in terms of fighting for and spreading beliefs.

And this old monk's Buddha name is neither Zen nor Pure Land Sect, but belongs to a relatively "unpopular" Buddha-Pharmacist Liuliguangwangfo.

Pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata is the leader of the Eastern Pure Liuli World.When this Buddha practiced the bodhisattva way in the past, he made twelve great vows, wishing to relieve the sufferings of all living beings, to enable them to have all roots, and to be liberated, so he became a Buddha according to this vow.Living in the Pure Lapis Lazuli World, its land is majestic, like the Land of Ultimate Bliss.The Bodhisattva of All-Sunshine and the Bodhisattva of All-Sunshine are both the two great threats to the Medicine Buddha.The dharma looks like a snail hairstyle, holding a medicine pot in the left hand, and the fearless seal (or the wish seal) in the right hand. The two Bodhisattvas, Sunlight and Moonlight, are waiting on the left and right, and they are also known as the three pharmacists.

It is said that the vows of this victorious Buddha are inconceivable. If someone is seriously ill and death and decline appear, the family members will make offerings to the Medicine Buddha day and night with all their heart. The five-color banner of 49 days can prolong life.

The branch of Zhongtu Buddhism is less popular, but Yang Qingyuan still has a good impression of this branch.

Pharmacist Liuli Guangwangfo is pragmatic.

Pharmacist Liuli Guangwang Buddha, the Buddha statue holds a medicine pot in the left hand and performs the fearless seal in the right hand.

And his disciples, like the master, carry the medicine pot on their backs and hang the pot to help the world.

Compared with mainstream Buddhism, which competes for beliefs and builds temples.This vein is still practicing asceticism to help the world, and it can indeed be regarded as a clean stream.

"I don't know what the name of this master is? How to call it?!"

The old monk shook his head with a smile, "The dharma name is just a code name. Marquis Yang is called an old monk. If there is nothing, that's enough."

Yang Qingyuan raised his sword eyebrows slightly, because he didn't want to reveal his identity!

"I don't know why Yang Hou is here today?!" In order to avoid Yang Qingyuan's objection, Wulu immediately took over the conversation, "Could it be that he knows that there is an auspicious sign in my Wanshan Temple!"

"??!"

Yang Qingyuan was dumbfounded by Wulu's words, what's the situation? !Auspicious? !Monk Wulu doesn't look like a scammer, does he? !

Most of the so-called auspicious omens are deceitful.

"Yang Hou, please follow me!"

Under the leadership of Wu Lu, Yang Qingyuan stepped into the backyard of Wanshan Temple.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Yang Qingyuan was shocked by this scene. What kind of botanical wonder is this? !
Why does the lotus, a perennial herbaceous plant of the lotus family, grow on a withered trunk that obviously belongs to an arbor? !

Compared with this scene, the linden tree with new buds is nothing special!
Dead wood grows lotus flowers, and Bodhi grows new buds.

The key point is that the significance of these two plants in Buddhism is indeed extraordinary.

"Nanwu Pharmacist Liuliguang Wangfo, Marquis Yang should understand, what is the auspiciousness that Junior Brother Wulu said!?" Although Yang Qingyuan's expression hadn't changed much just now, the old monk still sensed the suspicion in Yang Qingyuan's eyes .

Wu Lu said, "By the way, there is one more thing to let Yang Hou know. The children in the nursing home have already registered their household registration. The poor monk thanked Yang Hou on behalf of these children."

For Wulu, he doesn't really care about Buddhism or Zen disputes, the most important thing is the children.

"This is the job of this official. The emissary of Xiaozhi will patrol the herds on behalf of the sky, and he will comfort the territory and calm the people."

This matter will be handled well, Yang Qingyuan is not surprised at all, unless that Hu Cao of the Jinling government office doesn't want to continue to do it.

After a little hesitation, the old monk at the side asked, "Dare to ask Marquis Yang, where is Fairy Cihang Jingzhai's teacher?!"

Although he is not sure what the lotus and bodhi represent, the old monk thinks that Shi Feixuan may be the opportunity for the re-establishment of Northern Zen.She already has luck in her body, and she can be the re-establishment of the Northern Sect.

When Yang Qingyuan heard this, his expression changed.

Although the death of Concubine Shixuan was not his fault, it still has an inseparable relationship with him.

Although the Tathagata Divine Palm is wonderful, it is a fragment of a scroll after all, and it is the Tathagata Divine Palm deduced by Yang Qingyuan with Dao Tong and Daoist martial arts.

Although Concubine Shixuan knew it beforehand and took the risk at her own risk, Yang Qingyuan still felt that he was responsible, including hesitation and negligence and failure to foresee the worst result.

"Speaking of Fairy Shi...I have some bad news to tell you two. Yesterday, Fairy Shi became obsessed because of practicing Tathagata God's Palm, lost all vitality, and passed away!"

"What?!" Master Wulu's pupils froze, he couldn't believe this bad news.

A few days ago, Shi Feixuan was still a living person and had been helping him take care of those children in the nursing home. She never thought that in just one day, the two would be separated forever.

The old monk was still calm, which coincided with the vision of the dead tree lotus and the new bud of Bodhi before. These two had the meaning of seeking survival from death and standing up after breaking through.

"I am deeply sorry for this matter. However, Master Xianzi was a member of the Buddhist sect when he was alive. I heard that the eminent monk of the Buddhist sect passed away with fire, and the remaining relics..."

"What?! You burned the body of Concubine Shixuan!?" The old monk, who was still calm just now, lost control of his emotions when he heard half of it.

Although there are allusions about the Tathagata's Nirvana in Buddhism, if they are all burned, let alone Nirvana, there may not even be ashes left.

"No, no!" Yang Qingyuan was also taken aback by this old monk's move, "I haven't had time to burn it yet!"

Yang Qingyuan read too many books in the Tongwen Library of the Hanlin Academy, which led to a problem. For things he didn't actually understand, he was at a loss for many different theories. For example, the fire of the Buddhist gate died method.

I originally thought that since Concubine Xuan had passed away, the fire of her death would naturally follow the Buddhist method, but it turned out that there were seven methods of death that Yang Qingyuan learned from the book alone, and Yang Qingyuan didn't know which one to use. This is why I came to ask Master Wulu.

Hearing that Shi Feixuan's body had not been burned, the old monk was relieved.

"Nanwu Pharmacist Liuliguang Wangfo, the old monk lost his temper just now, please forgive me, Marquis Yang."

Yang Qingyuan laughed dryly, "It's understandable to be human. Master Kong Wu is an eminent Buddhist monk, so he must have rich experience in the method of burning fire to pass away."

"..." The old monk paused again. He said this as if he had a lot of experience. It was also the first time for him. He hadn't passed away yet? !
The old monk felt that Yang Qingyuan was too irritating, and his mood swings had never been so severe in recent years.

Yang Qingyuan smiled secretly, based on the old monk's reaction just now, he deduced that Shi Feixuan might not be completely dead yet.

There are many martial arts in the world, and the magical martial arts are like crucian carp crossing the river.For example, his self-created Zhuxian Sword and Juexian Sword, such as Zhuang Xiaomeng's Heaven's Will Four Elephants Jue... Yang Qingyuan knows a lot of martial arts that can enter the state of tortoise's breath and suspended animation, but before the state of Shi Feixuan was clearly dead, even the temperature of the body All lowered.

But if it was really a fake death, Yang Qingyuan would have thought of the tenth move in the legend of Tathagata God's Palm.

Some people say that there are nine moves in the Tathagata God's palm, and others say that it is ten moves.

Yang Qingyuan hadn't seen the finished book either, but based on the legend of the fragments, he completed three tricks with Shang Daotong.

However, judging from the moves of Tathagata Divine Palm, there is the possibility of the tenth move. From the first appearance of the Buddha's light to the reign of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, it is the experience of the World Honored Sakyamuni. Experience - Nirvana.

Tathagata Nirvana, the world respects life.

If it really enters the state of suspended animation, it is also reasonable.

Moreover, what Buddhism talks about is the law of extinction, and the storage and meditation are transformed immediately.All dharmas are boundless, so Bodhi is boundless to know the way of Nirvana.

In this regard, Taoism and Buddhism are indeed quite distinct.

Taoism's fetal breath innately talks about "life", and Buddhism's Nirvana Nirvana talks about "death". In this way, it is reasonable for Yang Qingyuan to not see Shi Feixuan's state.

"I'm taking the liberty, I don't know if I can bother Marquis Yang to take me to have a look?!"

It's quite presumptuous, I am also a first-rank prince and young teacher of the imperial court, and a super-rank Marquis of Wuxiang, so I'm just going to lead you the way? !

Or in the past, Yang Qingyuan might really be able to tease the old monk, but now that the life and death of Concubine Xuan is uncertain, Yang Qingyuan is under pressure.

I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

……

This old monk is really not as simple as it looks. Although Yang Qingyuan didn't use his lightness kung fu with all his strength, he was still fast. It's incredible that this old monk can follow him with ease.

Yang Qingyuan just brought the old monk into the branch of the Six Gates of Jinling.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Qingyuan entered the door, he felt that the six doors of Jinling today were a bit strange, and there were a few talismans pasted on the door, which seemed to mean exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.

It's been a while since we saw each other. Why do the six gates of Jinling engage in feudal superstition? !He is a Taoist priest, not as serious as them.

A head catcher quickly stepped forward to salute, "Wang Hai, the branch of the six gates of Jinling, has met Yang Hou! Yang Hou Wan'an!"'

"They're all brothers from my own family, and it's not a formal occasion, so this kind of formality can be avoided!"

"Thank you Marquis Yang!"

Yang Qingyuan pointed to some busy policemen around and asked, "Um, Wang Wang, what's going on?! Brothers, have you all changed your channel?!"

Wang Hai glanced at the old monk behind Yang Qingyuan, and then he hesitated and explained, "It's not that the brothers in the yamen believe this, it's just that a strange thing happened in the yamen last night, which makes the brothers still feel chilly on their backs. .”

Yang Qingyuan said angrily, "Strange thing, what strange thing, could it be that the yamen is still haunted?!"

"Marquis Yang is indeed a clever planner, you already know this?!"

Wang Hai was amazed in his heart, as expected of the person who re-established Dali Temple and overwhelmed the dark six tribes, even in Jinling, his hands and eyes were as good as the sky.In order to avoid affecting the normal work of the yamen, the head arrester of the Six-Fanmen branch specially ordered that those who knew the matter would keep their mouths shut.Unexpectedly, Yang Qingyuan already knew about it!

Looking at Wang Hai's tone, expression, and demeanor, Yang Qingyuan knew that he had made a promise (chen)!

"Last night, the brother on duty saw a shadow flickering and flickering, right next to the morgue with six doors. This is clearly a will-o'-the-wisp!!"

Yang Qingyuan's heart trembled a little when he heard that there was a will-o'-the-wisp. As we all know, Taoists are more afraid of ghosts.

"Do you see the color clearly?!"

"No!" Wang Hai replied, "Xiao Wu, who was in charge of watching the night last night, saw the flashing and flashing unknown light. According to him, it was extremely strange."

The silent old monk at the side had an idea, "Dare to ask Marquis Yang, is Feixuan's body placed in the ice cellar with six doors?"

Now Yang Qingyuan also knew what the old monk meant, maybe it wasn't the will-o'-the-wisp, but the movement of the concubine when she was in Nirvana.

"Go and appease the brothers, it's not a will-o'-the-wisp, so you can rest assured!" After Yang Qingyuan said a few words, he led the old monk out of the ice cellar where the corpse was buried.

Yang Qingyuan entered and carried out Shi Feixuan's body. At this time, Yang Qingyuan could confirm that Shi Feixuan's state should not be completely dead.

In the process of carrying Shi Feixuan out, Yang Qingyuan briefly inspected the "corpse". Although the body temperature has completely disappeared and the body is cold, there is no change in its body, and it is as lifelike as a living person... Of course, it is also possible She is indeed still alive.

The old monk Kongwu inspected it, but remained silent all the time, making Yang Qingyuan beside him couldn't help but ask.

"Master, is it possible for this person to come back to life, or is he just not dead enough?"

The Kongwu old monk was also choked by Yang Qingyuan's statement, how should he answer this? !He has never experienced Nirvana either!How would you know? !I really thought Nirvana was Chinese cabbage! ?
After a brief inspection, the Kongwu old monk sat down cross-legged in front of Shi Feixuan's body, and began to recite the vows of the pharmacist Liuliguangwang Buddha, "May when I attain Bodhi in the next life, if all sentient beings are dying , no rescue, no return, no doctor, no medicine, no relatives, no family, poverty and suffering; once my name passes through their ears, all diseases will be cured, body and mind will be at peace, family members will be rich in wealth, and even attain the supreme Bodhi.”

The Buddha's light emerged from the old monk's body, making Yang Qingyuan frown.

This familiar true essence...the Marrow Washing Sutra and the Yijin Sutra.
