I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 79 The Second Divine Power

Consciousness-only – The Mahayana Nirvana Consciousness-only Treatise.

Upholding the precepts – The Mahayana Method of Seeing the Truth and Upholding the Precepts.

What I have seen and heard – The Secret of Mahayana Hearing My True Nature.

Three lineages, three scriptures passed down through generations.

Chen Jing tapped the mark on the back of his hand, his eyes quickly scanning the pages of the book.

With the triple blessing of the Debate Platform's Mind Seal, Transformation into Truth, and Reflection of Body, maintaining its peak condition, the spiritual energy consumption had reached the warning threshold, so it did not switch to the Literary Sect's blessing supernatural power.

The main deity first collected the secret manuals, and then added the content passed down orally by Wu Kui, Fa Xuan, and Fa Heng, to fill in the missing key points in their respective scriptures.

In addition, with the transmission of the Dharma lineage of the Kalan school, the complete Xuanzang Sutra was finally collected, which not only contains the complete theory of 'consciousness' cultivation from ordinary beings to Buddhas, but also the complete practice method of the Bodhisattva vehicle.

"Snapped!"

Chen Jing closed the book.

He handed over all three scriptures to Faji.

He said, "Master, I will tell you the missing key points in the scriptures and pass on the Xuanzang True Scripture to you."

Faji glanced at the scripture and shook his head: "The true scripture was offered to you by all the lineages. As your teacher, I should not make an exception. Let's wait until we are free to learn the scriptures before we start studying them."

Chen Jing replied, “It was not easy to gather all of Xuanzang’s scriptures. I may not live to see that day. If the promotion of basic Buddhist principles fails, then the prairie fire will still need my master to start it. So this scripture is not something I obtained for nothing.”

The false law has great power.

This is a reality we have to face.

How could you possibly shake the foundation that others have built up over thousands of years in a single day?
Faji didn't offer any insincere comfort that you wouldn't die. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "What if I also fail? What if the true scriptures fall into the hands of false practitioners?"

Chen Jing could sense the heavy sense of mission in Faji's words, and comforted him, "Actually, it doesn't matter. We can just wait until the people are fully enlightened, until the true scriptures are passed down from the false teachings, and until those who recognize the Mahayana theory of the Yogacara school are corrected."

"You know that your disciple does not observe the precepts and only uses exaggerated words to trick you into getting the true scriptures. In fact, if you stretch the timeline infinitely, these will all be inevitable developments."

"The tide is in our hands. As long as Master doesn't insist on achieving success in this generation, it's actually very difficult to lose."

"To express what I wish to do and leave a mark that will not be erased by history is equivalent to success. The cause is sown and will not perish, thus the result will be achieved. In fact, I have already accomplished this long ago!"

"Everyone wants me to achieve success, but I'm not that greedy. Of course, it would be best if I could achieve success myself."

"No, if the environment doesn't provide the conditions for success, then let's set a good example for future generations and be like those primitive people who look up at the stars."

"…………"

In the hazy moonlight, the nearly round moon was half-hidden.

A phantom-like figure floated in mid-air like a cloud, sitting cross-legged in the void, overlooking the entire city of Bianjing.

At this moment, the phantom's gaze fell on the White Horse Temple. In an instant, whether it was the monk Guangzhi telling the spirits the secret, the monk Faxing sneaking out of his meditation room to go to the meditation room where the National Preceptor Wuyuan was, or the conversation between Faji and his disciple Qianye, all of these fell into the phantom's ears.

With a gentle tap of its illusory finger, the shadowy figure cut a sliver of moonlight, weaving it into a scene that evolved into an immensely vast illusion.

In the first illusion, Qianye collapsed to the ground in agony, holding a purple-gold alms bowl. The golden magnolia flower was withered and dead on its way to the new Tang Dynasty palace.

In the second illusion, the monk Faji returns to Jinshan Temple alone and secludes himself in the scripture pavilion to begin writing basic Buddhist principles, including the teachings of killing and divination. He and Yingtu discuss combining Buddhist principles with worldly affairs, and once the scripture is completed, he will begin preaching, teaching all without discrimination, regardless of whether they are monks, scholars, or commoners. At the same time, he unites like-minded people to spread the teachings, starting with a spark that will spread like wildfire, destroying Buddhism and establishing a new sect.

In the third illusion, Emperor Li Zhi of the new Tang Dynasty lost the leader of the anti-Buddhist movement. He called on eminent monks to improve the basic Buddhist doctrines and carried out the action of promoting Buddhism and suppressing Buddhism. Although the influence of Buddhism in the contemporary era was still great, it cleared the way for future generations.

In the fourth illusion, Li Zhi failed to promote basic Buddhist principles this time and resorted to harsh measures to suppress Buddhism. The monks who participated in the Dharma assembly returned to their respective temples and promoted the debate on the flower offering of the Thousand-Leaf Buddha. They cast a statue of the debate on the Ullambana Festival. Many years later, a pseudo-Buddhist high monk who had obtained the true sutra of Consciousness-Only read: "When the flower blooms, I see the flower, and I see the flower. I am happy to see the flower bloom, and I am happy when the flower blooms." Suddenly, he began to promote basic Buddhist principles.

In the fifth illusion, a traveler arrives in Wuping County, Bianzhou, and stays at a temple called the Headless Temple. Curious, he asks, "Abbot, what kind of Buddha is enshrined here? Why do they all only have bodies and no heads?"

The old monk replied with a smile, “This is the practice of upholding the Dharma through one’s own actions. The fifty-five headless Buddhas were originally bandits from Black Wind Village. After being enlightened by their master Qianye, they were awakened. At that time, Zou Jing, the magistrate of Wuping County, was willing to pardon their crimes, but these fifty-five people did not covet their lives. They were willing to offer their heads and blood as a sacrifice to awaken the world and only hoped that there would be no more errors in the Dharma in the world.”

The pilgrim experienced a sudden enlightenment, rekindled his former aspirations as a member of the Yogacara school, and embarked on a path of asceticism to spread the Dharma.

The sixth illusion...

"........."

"Woooo!!"

Chen Jinggang passed on Xuanzang's true scriptures to Faji.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the Zen temple, blowing open the door to the meditation room.

The moment the wind blew open the door to the meditation room, Chen Jing sensed something was amiss, a feeling similar to the first day of the Ullambana Festival.

He asked in a low voice, "Who?"

Upon hearing the sound, the monk Faji looked around.

Not noticing anything amiss, he asked curiously, "Is someone there?"

Chen Jing did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the door of the meditation room, where he saw a blurry figure gathering in the moonlight, the light and shadow intertwining, and the blurry figure gradually transforming into a large monk wearing a monk's robe.

Every day, Chen Jing faced the image of Mahayana Heaven at Jinshan Temple and Jialan Temple. Although the image of the great monk in the moonlight had changed, losing some of his majesty and domineering presence and gaining more sorrow and hardship, Chen Jing could still recognize it as Mahayana Heaven at a glance.

In the blink of an eye.

Xuanzang blended into the moonlight that descended upon the meditation room, slowly walked up to Chen Jing, and said with a smile, "You...you did well, you destroyed Buddhism to promote your own school, you eliminated the errors in Zen teachings, and you established the foundation of Buddhist principles."

Before Chen Jing could speak, Xuanzang joined his index and middle fingers together, and then naturally extended the other three fingers in front of his chest, forming the same Dharma transmission mudra that Chen Jing had made on the debate platform during the day. He then extended his index finger and lightly touched Qianye's brow.

pain!
A familiar pain returned.

Chen Jing's consciousness instantly disconnected from the character Qianye, and he withdrew from the world of cultivation.

This time, I was able to clearly perceive the changes in the inner landscape of my sea of ​​consciousness; a golden cicada had appeared on the inner lotus of my heart.

【Log in!】

Chen Jing did not test the effects of the cicada.

Choose a more direct method: log into the Metaverse Pod and return to the Xiaotuanshan Dojo.

Clicking on the handprint to view personal attributes, sure enough, the main god received a message from the world consciousness of the cultivation world. In addition to the "Simulation Transformation" section, there was an additional supernatural power.

[Supernatural Power: Cicada Awakening]

[Note: The eye perceives light, the ear perceives sound, the nose perceives fragrance, the tongue perceives taste, the body perceives touch, but what does the mind perceive? What does the manas perceive?]

[The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it blows; this supernatural power borrows from the cicada's awareness to enhance all senses.]

[The cicada senses danger and flaps its wings; this flapping of wings can also activate this supernatural power.]
