Can you live forever

Chapter 291 Three Turns and Four Noble Truths

"Those who are 'understandable without hindrance' have obtained the seal of the Buddha's Dharma, and have no hindrance to their understanding; if they have obtained the seal of the king, there will be no difficulty. The question is: What is the seal of the Buddha's Dharma? , the birth and cessation of every thought is impermanent; the second, all dharmas have no self; the third, nirvana.”

"That is to say: all actions are impermanent, all dharmas have no self, and Nirvana is peaceful."

"Why are things impermanent?"

"The words should have no different meanings and have all meanings, but what is action? What is impermanence?"

"Can we simply understand 'all things are impermanent' to mean that everything in the world is impermanent? It does have this meaning, but if we only understand it in this way, it means that there is no entry into Buddhism."

"Why?"

"Earlier, I told you that earth, water, fire, and wind are the elements that make up everything in the world."

"We drive our body, speech, and mind to perform various actions. What is the essence of this?"

"When the wind moves, there is fire, and then the water is changing, changing the appearance of the earth. The so-called action must have a cause. With the cause of wind, there must be changes in fire, water, and earth. All fabrications . . . are called formations.”

"Various formations refer to all dharmas that create, flow, and change."

"And all the methods of creating, flowing and changing are... the world."

"Because the world is the common karma created by all living beings in the past, each of us will receive the result of this common karma when we live in the world. We cannot determine what the world will be like before we are born, so this is impermanence, and we live in the world. Everything is not simply transferred by personal will, which is impermanent."

"Although it is impermanent, it has a Dharma appearance."

"Like earth, water, fire, and wind, impermanence can also be summarized as birth, residence, change, and extinction. Everything has its four stages of occurrence, abiding, change, and extinction."

"However, ordinary ignorance can only see the 'dwelling' stage."

"Take Annan as an example."

"You live in Annan, and Annan is your world, but it is not the whole world. Annan must be influenced by the Ming Dynasty, so Annan has changed from the Houli Dynasty to Mordenyong, and the Ming army captured it. Annan's change, and the change of equalizing land and exempting taxation to stimulate the gentry, leading to their rebellion, caused a large number of people to be slaughtered by the gentry, which became the so-called misery."

"The change in Annan is that everything is impermanent, and all you can see is the war, the war caused by the rebellion of the remnants of the Hou Li Dynasty, because of the various encounters this war has brought to you."

"All of this is 'living'."

"Even though the situation is changing all the time, you can't feel or see that change. You can only passively feel everything that the war has imposed on you, so in your opinion, the world is not impermanent, but... Usually."

"The so-called impermanence of all actions must first break the appearance."

"This is the first mystery of the Three Dharma Seals. You may not understand it if you have not entered Buddhism, but... Master Wanxing, can you also understand it?"

"Since I understand the impermanence of all things, why do you say that I caused Annan's life to die? The world is the common cause of all living beings, how can I alone be able to decide? Where is the real cause, Master Wanxing, you don't understand?"

"Or...you dare not say it?"

Zhang Zhixiang's eyes were like lightning, extremely sharp, everyone was impressed by his courage, and because of that reason, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Wan Xing, wanting to know what the real reason is...

Wan Xing twirled the Buddha beads in his hands, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

He never thought that Zhang Zhixiang's first-class Taoist would have such a deep understanding of Buddhism, and he could also reflect it on current events and turn him into an army. How could he tell the real reason?
Tell people that Ming Dynasty is just, because of the exploitation of the gentry, the exploitation of the temples, so they sent troops to rescue you?

He can't say.

So Zhang Zhixiang aimed at this point, and used the three seals of "all actions are impermanent" as a cage, trying to lock him up...

Wan Xing twirled the beads, looked at Zhang Zhixiang and said calmly: "It's not that I didn't say anything, but you don't understand. All actions are impermanent. The world is caused by the past karma of all living beings, so the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and everything is suffering."

"You talk about the impermanence of all actions, but you don't know the origin of suffering and the extinction of the Tao."

"You only talk about common karma and abiding phenomena, but you don't say that all conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and lightning, and you should observe them as such."

"You do not guide all beings to liberation, but you teach all beings to find happiness."

"This has already violated the impermanence of all actions, and even violated the non-self of all dharmas, and it also does not understand the tranquility of Nirvana."

"Your law is wrong, how should I answer?"

Wan Xing couldn’t answer the reason for the war, so he didn’t answer, he didn’t say it, Zhang Zhixiang himself said it thousands of times, and no one would believe him, he said that temples were exploited, that monks were the landlords and the main force of oppression, and the people would Do you believe it?

The sesame oil money they offer is all merit and virtue, and it can be accumulated for future blessings!
You Zhang Zhixiang tore up the only light of the world and tried to see if it was you who were thrown into hell, or me who was thrown into hell!

Wan Xing's unmoving appearance is extremely convincing.

People suddenly forgot to ask the real cause, or they thought that all actions had already been answered, yes, everything is suffering, the world is a sea of ​​suffering, the only way to turn back is to be liberated...

All things are impermanent, no matter whether it is joy or suffering, it will last for a lifetime, and we only need to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering and no longer suffer from this torment.

At this moment, the audience was in a state of "enlightenment", which made Zhang Zhixiang's heart tremble. He knew that people like Wan Xing understood Buddhism and human nature better, and they were more likely to deceive people than real masters.

Under the banner of "all actions are impermanent", "all dharmas have no self", and "Nirvana is peaceful", we let the people of the world dry up and escape from the world.

Really demon!
"Mr. Yangming taught me to see the nature of the mind, Master Yao taught me to see the nature of the world, Master Fahai also told me that Buddhism sees the sorrow of the world, Taoism sees the joy of the world, and what the Buddha sees is the beginning and the end. Yan, what Taoism sees is the cycle of 'reversal of the Tao', and both see the same Tao."

"Thus, although I am a disciple of Tianshifu, I have also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures."

"You say that suffering destroys Tao, but do you know the Buddhist order of practice?"

"Do you know the Three Turns and the Four Noble Truths? Twelve Causes and Conditions?"

"Do you know that the Buddha said that everything is suffering, and he is telling the world that living in this way is suffering, not that it is suffering in the first place. He talks about suffering for the sake of all living beings to practice and escape from this suffering!"

"But you, take the words of the Buddha and act as the shackles of the world!"

"A person like you is a demon in cassock!"

"Today, I will break your evil law and tell the world what is suffering, what is the origin of suffering and the Four Noble Truths of the Dao! How to practice three turns to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering, and how to use the three dharmas to prove that the four elements are all empty, and everyone is like a dragon. , all sentient beings become Mahayana Buddhas!"

"I will teach the Dharma that you demons don't teach."

"I can understand the law that you demons don't understand!"

"Let me tell you how the Lord Buddha of the Dharma-ending Age took off his cassock and achieved it in the next life!"

As Zhang Zhixiang said, he stood up, not much higher, but at this moment his figure was as towering as a mountain, and his staring eyes made the world feel that Wan Xing was like an ant at this moment.

When the three religions merge, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade.

What Wanxing doesn't know is that Zhang Zhixiang's Dharma is very high, so high that monks in this era can't even imagine it.Because what he wants to say is something that the Lord Buddha never said, but it is in line with the three Dharma seals... the Dharma!
