Female Buddha

Chapter 11 The so-called Buddhism

Qingli doesn't know anything about what happened in Yangshan Village.She is living quite happily in Fahua Temple now.After three months of practice and life, Qingli has a good understanding of Fahua Temple.Her three views have changed a lot.She also liked this kind of Buddhism more and more.

First of all, since the Buddha Sect is a sect, the so-called All Four are really just a spiritual thing.Compared with the disciples of other sects, there are far fewer Buddhist disciples, but there are tens of thousands of disciples without laymen.Except for the fahua temple, which has a plug-in, the conditions of other temples can only be compared with the resources of other small and medium-sized sects.Although Buddhist cultivation does not require as much resources as true cultivation.But the disciples of other temples are not like the people in Fahua Temple.Therefore, these disciples still need the assistance of cultivation resources.Where do these resources come from?Buddhists should consider these things.Part of it came from Fahua Temple, and the other part was of course obtained when I went out to practice.In a sense, Buddhism is no different from other sects.Although I don't talk about materialistic desires, I also feel that I can't say that I am willing to live in peace and poverty to the end.

Although Qingli entered Buddhism, she still felt that she was not transcendent and was still a common person.If a layman rashly enters a particularly otherworldly environment, he may not be able to adapt well.But now she is living quite happily, which shows that this Buddhist sect is just a secular place now.When she accidentally said what was in her heart while chatting with Yuan Yuan, Liao Yuan laughed loudly: "You are right, our Buddhist sect is also a vulgar place. That's why we have to work hard to practice for transcendence. If The Buddhist sect is already a pure land of bliss, so why go to the bliss of the West? So we are just Buddhist practitioners, not Buddhas. Do you understand?"

I understand, so it is normal for us Buddhist practitioners to be ordinary people.Qingli felt that the sentence "We are Buddhist cultivators, not Buddhas" is really a panacea.Buddha Xiu doesn't want to argue with others, but when he experiences outside, he will inevitably fight when encountering opportunities.As soon as this sentence comes out, let's see who can say anything about their Buddhist sect.Thinking about coming to Fahua Temple for a few months, she heard this sentence from several people.It can be seen that this is a proven golden sentence from the old fox.Qingli kept these words firmly in her heart.So much so that in her future experience, those hypocrites with malicious intentions who she used this sentence many times almost had a myocardial infarction.

Since the Buddhist sect is also a sect, of course they also practice the four arts of comprehension.The so-called four arts of comprehension are: array, elixir, talisman, and device.People in the Buddhist sect seldom learn how to control beasts, but they have a good relationship with the spirit beasts in the mountains in the temple.Which has its own reasons.The four elders are masters of alchemy, they have learned the fate of good charms, the sense of good array, and the good tools of Tongshan.Most of the monks in the Hall of Medicine King are good at alchemy.It's just that disciples of the Buddhist sect usually open a furnace to make alchemy, and only make elixir related to experience.Such as life-saving and detoxifying elixirs, as well as Bigu Dan, and Buling Pills.The Buddhist sect forbids disciples to take pills that increase their cultivation.This is also the reason why Buddhist disciples have a solid foundation.

The magical weapons and treasure clothes of Buddhist disciples are generally refined by masters specializing in weapon refining in each temple.Because most of the magic weapons they refine are necessities for life and practice, and offensive magic weapons are rarely refined.So basically it can be self-sufficient.The treasured clothes and lotus crown on Qingli's body were made by Master Tong.There is a group of disciples who like to refine weapons gathered in Bodhidharma Academy.

Buddhists are very particular about how they draw talismans.Talisman drawings in the realm of cultivation are generally drawn using animal blood as raw material, plus cinnabar and other substances.People in the Buddhist sect do not commit the sin of killing in vain.Moreover, the Buddhist symbols are basically prayer symbols, such as peace and blessing.Occasionally, I draw and break the magic talisman, but the raw material is all fine cinnabar. As for the effect of the talisman, it depends on the cultivation level and Buddhist relationship of the person who draws the talisman.The people in the Discipline Academy are some masters of Talismans.

People who are good at formations in the Buddhist sect are involved in many aspects of formation strategies.Unless they encounter someone who has committed extremely evil crimes, people in the Buddhist sect do not set up killing arrays.But when you encounter various formations while wandering, you must understand them and know how to break them.Therefore, Buddhist cultivators who specialize in formations are really quite proficient.The reason why Fahua Temple is able to plant those ten thousand-year-old apricot and pine cone trees as domestic fruit trees is due to several formation masters in Fahua Temple.

As the successor of Fozi, Qingli was required by Fozong to practice all four arts.As an apprentice of Liaoyuan, he must be proficient in Talisman.Fortunately, there are not many runes in the Buddhist sect, and she is a Buddha seed.The talismans from her hands are all good.This made Yuan quite satisfied.As the successor of Buddha, of course he cannot die easily.So Qingli also put a lot of effort into the formation.But for alchemy and weapon refining, she didn't have Huoling follower, and Liaochen and Liaotong didn't ask her to know it.But the materials used in refining tools and alchemy required Qingli to memorize them carefully.Otherwise, when she goes out to practice, she will be embarrassed if she doesn't know the good things she encounters.

Buddhism does not allow laziness and laziness, and things that can be done by oneself are not done by others.So I take care of my own Zen garden.Don't think that this is a sacred place of Buddhism, and there is a large array of temple guards outside, so it is really free from dust.Even other top sects can't do this kind of thing.It's just that those sects like to use cleaning techniques.If Buddhist cultivators are not practicing outside, they usually clean the Buddhist monastery by themselves.Even several masters who have passed the previous generation are no exception.In their view, sweeping is also a kind of practice.Therefore, the sweeping monk in the novel is a peerless master and exists in the Buddhist sect.

To maintain the operation of other sects, one relies on the accumulation of the sect itself, the other relies on the tribute paid by the affiliated families or sects, and the third relies on the disciples of the sects to do tasks.Buddhism does not force disciples to do tasks.The operation of the Buddhist sect depends on the accumulation of the sect itself, and on the other hand, the charity of believers in the world.Taking Fahua Temple as an example, the disciples in the temple did not sell the runes such as peace symbols drawn by them.A portion is given to devotees who often donate merit.The other part is to give to ordinary people.The biggest difference between Buddhist monks and other monks is that the merit and faith of believers can also help them practice.So it makes sense for them not to rely on pills to improve their cultivation.

In addition to reciting, Buddhist scriptures can also be sung.This is the so-called Sanskrit singing.In the 21st century, Qingli often listens to Buddhist music, which helps her meditate.But in Fahua Temple, Qingli found that the small animals here have also been nurtured.Whenever someone sings in the forest, all kinds of spirit beasts can always be attracted to stop and listen.As for the level of the attracted spirit beasts, the number depends on your own ability and state of mind.Qingli was very satisfied with this.For an invisible plush lover, what a joy it is to be surrounded by a group of furry animals.

Qingli has recently begun to focus on the study of scriptures.Just because of fate, he told her that she would also attend the Dharma assembly held at Fahua Temple next year.This participation does not mean sitting there and listening to various masters lecture.According to Buddhist rules, all monks of the Qing generation and above who participate in the Dharma assembly must participate in the discussion of the sutras.And Qingli is the youngest of the Qing generation.Although she is young now and has just started practicing.No one would blame her even if she said it in a simple way.To put it bluntly, this is just a platform for these Buddhist elders to talk about their understanding of Buddhism to the juniors.No one will laugh at me even if I don't tell it well.But for Qingli, age is no excuse.At least she tried and the outcome didn't matter.Anyway, her senior brother Qingtan came here this way.
