Wandering

Chapter 199 On the Law Chapter 159 Eight Arms Around Thousands of Faces

After Shouzheng finished writing, he clapped his hands and smiled at the Living Buddha as if he was all right: "Buddha, please appreciate the sky."

Seeing the clouds dissipate, the sun shines out, and the golden curve seems to have spirituality, emitting a dazzling golden light, like molten gold in the sky.The golden liquid was absorbed by the sunlight and became spiritual. It began to flow, and the traces of the curves changed. They stretched and connected end to end, forming the appearance of a golden snake on the sky.Immediately afterwards, the golden snake swayed its tail, its whiskers, horns and limbs were faintly visible, and it became a golden dragon flying in the sky!

At this time, Master Shouzheng stretched out his right hand and pulled out a hairpin on the top of his head. The golden light was about four inches long and looked like a small sword.He raised his hand, and the little sword turned into a ray of light, dragging a long golden tail flame straight into the sky—like a shooting star shooting up into the sky from the ground!The meteor hit the golden dragon, suddenly the whole sky trembled, and there were circles of invisible ripples.Immediately afterwards, a clear dragon's chant came from the sky, resounding through the three mountains and caves.Seeing Shenlong raising its head and flicking its tail, it actually became alive!After a long chant, this vivid golden dragon flew straight down from the sky, and its direction was right in the middle of the front desk of the venue, and it seemed to be heading towards the Living Buddha from that direction!Of course, this is just an illusion, the golden dragon is a hundred feet long, and if it really wants to pounce down with one claw, it can cover all the three chairs at the front desk.But when Shouzheng invited the Living Buddha to perform the Dharma, the golden dragon should be aimed at him.

Everyone has already held their breath and widened their eyes to appreciate this amazing miraculous skill.Seeing that the golden dragon was already flying towards the sky above the venue, I could even see traces of electric light surrounding the golden body.At this moment, the voice of the Living Buddha came from Fangzheng Peak, and he uttered the six-character mantra—"Om, Ma, Ne, Ba, Moo, Hum".

The six-character mantra came out of his mouth, but the direction it came from was the sky in the middle of the venue. It seemed that there were more than a hundred feet in the middle of the venue, and there were thick voices buzzing one after another.As the mantra burst out, six huge golden arms appeared one after another in midair!

The arm appeared, and Shenlong just flew over the venue.I saw that the fingers of the six golden hands were all Zhang Ba long and short, and when they moved together in the air, they actually grabbed the golden flying dragon in their hands.The Living Buddha chanted Sanskrit, which rang like a bell in mid-air.I saw the golden dragon's figure was torn into six pieces by the giant hand, and the huge golden hand turned the palm upwards, and the golden dragon turned into six glittering golden objects, including a treasure wheel, a treasure umbrella, a treasure vase, a treasure cover, a treasure plate, and a treasure mirror. magic weapon.

With the appearance of the magic weapon, a huge golden Buddha statue floated in the air under the arm.I have heard that the disciples of the secret sect have their own deities in their practice, and when they practice to a very high level, they can combine their own Dharmakaya with the deity's Dharmakaya, similar to the Yang God in the way of alchemy.This is just a rumor, but today I saw it with my own eyes. What appeared in the sky was the golden statue of the Dharmakaya of Living Buddha Ge Jujizan - the Tathagata with three faces and eight arms.

The golden Buddha statue sits on a huge twelve-petal lotus platform, with two hands placed on its legs to form the mudra, and the other six arms spread out like a fan to hold six ritual objects.Why is it three-faced and eight-armed?Because at this time, when everyone on the east, west, and north sides of the square looked up to the sky to see the Buddha statue, what they saw was the front, which was exactly opposite to the lowered eyes of Dainichi Tathagata.And the facial features of this golden statue of Tathagata are exactly like Ge Jujitsan Tulku, but much younger and more dignified. It should be his youthful face. From this we can see that this is Ge Jujitsan Tulku's real dharma body picture.

People in the world watch Buddhist statues, there are three-faced, four-faced, or even eight-faced Buddha, that is, multiple Buddha faces are engraved on a sculpture in circles.There are also six-armed, eight-armed, twelve-armed, and even thousand-armed Buddha statues.This is a symbol of artistic expression, and then drilled into various scriptures.The real image of Buddha like this cannot be created in the spatial structure that ordinary people can understand.For example, the golden statue of Dharmakaya today, the people at the venue can understand it as three-faced and eight-armed, or it can be understood as thousands of faces and thousands of arms.Because no matter which direction you look at, no matter who you are, you will see the Tathagata with three faces and eight arms.There are as many sides as there are angles.It depends on how each person perceives it. Some junior disciples with low realms will think that this Dharma image is facing them, but in fact it is facing everyone.

The sound of bells and music came from the sky, and smallpox fell one after another. The colorful ceilings did not fall to the ground, but they were scattered from the air and disappeared in the midair above people's heads.At this time, the voice of chanting came from the sky: "Illuminate the most supreme Lord, and naturally always hold the recitation, the great Satyu and the great seal, and wait for the Buddha's homework. All Buddhas are the body, and the Satyu is always enlightened. The great root is dark, and the great dye Desiring great happiness, great expediency and great victory, all victorious palaces are at ease."

This is a passage from the "Diamond Crown Sutra", issued from the mouth of the golden Buddha statue, accompanied by the rain of flowers from the sky.Almost all the Buddhist disciples present bowed their heads one after another, and even many non-Buddhist disciples also bowed to the ground, infected by the majestic atmosphere.At this moment, I turned my head and glanced at the stage, only to see that the living Buddha's lips moved slightly, and he was chanting sutras, while a solemn voice came from the air.Junzi Feng, who was sitting on the other side, also looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.

Why is Mr. Feng frowning?I looked around and suddenly understood a little bit. More than half of the people in the field were bowing and worshiping devoutly, and more than half of these people had already knelt on their knees.Feng Junzi was probably a little dissatisfied, after all, there were not only Buddhist and Taoist families present, but also many lay people.Master Shouzheng pointed the golden light in the sky, and used the Thunder God sword to turn the golden light into a golden dragon, which is already incomparably miraculous.Now the golden dragon is grabbed by the six arms of Da Ri Tathagata and turned into six magic tools. It seems that the Living Buddha is superior.Feng Junzi is also a person in the alchemy way, and it is normal to be a little dissatisfied with the Living Buddha's actions.

I am not a disciple of Buddhism. Although I lamented the miraculous cultivation of the living Buddha, I did not have the heart to bow down for no reason.I came to see the performance, and what I really want to see is the master who has practiced to the extreme in this world. What is the mystery of the demonstration at the Sanshan Conference?Seeing the three-faced and eight-armed Great Sun Tathagata Dharmakaya, I knew for the first time that there was a previously unknown spatial structure.So at this time, I still have the mood to look around to see what attitudes everyone has?

The two monks Fahai and Fayuan of Jiulin Temple did not bow down or look at the sky, but lowered their hands together and silently recited in their mouths. The shape of their mouths was the same as that recited by Living Buddha Ge Jujizan.The most interesting one was Facheng, who stared at the sky with his hands down, and his mouth was half-open, just like a child who saw a western scene and forgot to salute and kneel with curiosity.

In fact, being able to see the golden body of the living Buddha is already a rare opportunity for practitioners. Whether you are a Buddhist disciple or not, it will be very helpful for your future practice and understanding.The Living Buddha didn't do this out of selfishness to show off, on the contrary, Feng Junzi frowned and showed a little bit of pettiness.This is no wonder, the path of practice is different, and he is also a real young man.

Why do I think so?Because the scriptures recited by the living Buddha are not just reciting a passage of scriptures, the voice that falls to everyone's ears with the flowers from the sky also carries a kind of wisdom achievement.Whether you understand what he is talking about or not, everyone can vaguely feel the meaning of this scripture. As for how much you can feel, it depends on each person's own wisdom.This is a "wonderful" artistic conception, which can be called "wisdom of sound and hearing".

The three on the stage were all first-class masters in the world. Feng Junzi just frowned a little bit, and the real Shouzheng next to him seemed to feel it too, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.As soon as the living Buddha finished reading this passage, he heard another sentence in the air, "The most victorious master of all illumination, break!" This is the voice of the real man Shouzheng.

Reverend Shouzheng also recited Buddhist scriptures. The first five characters he said were the first sentence of the scriptures that the living Buddha just recited. The last word "broken" came out, and there was a thunderbolt from the sky!The thunderbolt was deafening, and many disciples who had knelt down did not know what happened, and they all opened their eyes and looked up at the sky.

I could see clearly that when Shouzheng said the last word, the six instruments held by Tathagata's golden arms all turned into golden light and exploded suddenly, accompanied by thunderbolts from the gods!Not only did Fang Zhengfeng tremble, but the huge eight-armed Tathagata dharmakaya also swayed in the air, leaving all six hands empty.The golden light spread out but did not radiate away, instead it turned into a huge circular golden halo and shrouded the Buddha statue's head.

Reverend Shouzheng was quite proud of himself, breaking the living Buddha's magic spell, but gave the golden statue of the dharmakaya a hat - the top of the Golden Wheel Buddha.The scripture that Shouzheng read just now, "Illuminating the Supreme Lord" means that the Dharma Realm, nature, wisdom, and light of the Tathagata Dainichi Tathagata can illuminate everything. , unparalleled.

The living Buddha Ge Jujizan seized the golden dragon as a magic weapon, and the real person Shouzheng blasted the magic weapon with the divine night thunder, and turned the golden light into a golden wheel Buddha's crown.These two don't seem to be fighting each other, but like playing a very tacit game.At this moment, Reverend Shouzheng and Living Buddha Ge Jujizan smiled at each other, and Shouzheng gently raised his hand.With my sharp eyes, I saw a shiny golden thing held by Shou Zheng's fingertips—the Thunder God Sword returned to his hand at some point.

The Living Buddha also saw that Shou Zheng had put away the Thunder God Sword, and his eyes showed a slight look of admiration. He turned his head to look at the sky again, and shouted: "Shoot!"

I saw the six big hands of the eight-armed Tathagata facing the sky with five fingers together, as if trying to grab something in the void.I thought he was still trying to take back the Thunder God Sword that guarded Zhengzheng, but his eyes blurred inexplicably, and the golden statue of the Dharma Body suddenly shrank a lot, and its position was moved to not far above the center of the square.At least now it looks life-size from outside the arena, and at this time there are six more magic weapons in the six hands, but this time they are not completely golden.

With my eyesight, I can see clearly that the six hands of the dharmakaya golden statue are holding a handle of golden Buddha dust, a jade purification bottle, a round Dharma banner, a subduing magic pestle, and a black ruyi, which is the most interesting. It is still a small purple clay pot, which looks like a small purple dot in the air, if the audience has bad eyesight.This is exactly the ceremonial weapon held by the six Dharma protector disciples behind the three people on the stage. They didn't see these things flying into the sky, but they were suddenly captured by the golden statue of Dharma body.

This is enough to prove that the sky is a real golden body, not some phantom. There is no phantom in this world that can take away such a thing as Hei Ruyi out of thin air!The two Taoist boys behind Shouzheng and the two monks behind the Living Buddha remained calm, but they surprised Guoguo and Ayou.Guoguo asked in surprise, "Where is Hei Ruyi?" Ayou pointed to the sky and replied, "It's in the hands of the golden crab."

A snake demon is a snake demon, and the little snake demon who has not been in the world for a long time, even if he is called a "fairy boy", has never seen a big scene after all.The majestic eight-armed Tathagata Dharmakaya became a "crab" in Ayou's mouth.The Living Buddha was not angry either, and smiled at Shouzheng.Feng Junzi turned his head and glared at Ayou. He seemed a little embarrassed. He should have known about the "training" before leading the stage.

This Old Living Buddha Ge Jujizan is not rigid, and even a little humorous.When Junzi Feng frowned, he probably also felt it, and immediately used his dharma body to capture the six magical artifacts on the stage out of thin air, which was also a joke with Junzi Feng.I don't know about the other five things, just that Hei Ruyi disappeared in Guoguo's hands and was caught in the sky by the golden body. the concept of.

Just then, a little accident happened!The eight-armed Tathagata in the air looks like a hand stretching out at a slight inclination downward, holding a purple sand pot in the palm, the spout of the pot also faces outward toward the fingertips, and the entire body of the pot also has an angle of downward inclination.Perhaps the Living Buddha didn't expect that—this pot is really filled with a pot of tea!Originally, the ceremonial weapon was just for show, who can actually make a pot of tea and serve it?But Junzi Feng did just that.

The teapot appeared in the golden hand in mid-air, the spout tilted down, and a thin line of water poured out, pouring down from the air.It was the green snow tea brewed in winter spring water, and everyone was stunned!Originally, it would be fine to take back the tea as the Living Buddha did, but that would be artificial and embarrassing, and the performance is all about being natural.This is a very interesting change. At this moment, Shouzheng flicked his robe sleeves, and softly shouted, "Hua!"

Seeing a mist-like silk rain falling on the top of Fangzheng Peak, everyone could smell the fresh scent of tea. The aftertaste of Xueshen tea.There was only a little tea spilled in the purple sand pot, but the real Shou Zheng could turn into a rain of tea with a wave of his sleeves, making almost everyone on Fangzheng Peak feel as if they had tasted this pot of tea.This skill of "materialization" has entered the realm of mysticism. As the saying goes, "beyond the gods", it is used in the realm of alchemy, and only after the mastery can one achieve perfection.Although Master Shouzheng didn't reveal the Yang God, this waving of his sleeves already shows that his realm is at least above the "Yang God Cave Heaven".

The tea fragrance, mist and rain dissipated, and the sky became clear and ethereal again. Living Buddha Ge Jujizan had received the golden body Dharma image.Of course, the six magic tools returned to the hands of the six Dharma protectors on the stage, and Ah You held the teapot firmly this time.There was no sound on Fangzheng Peak, no one cheered or applauded, it wasn't that people didn't admire the two masters, but that the cheers and applause were superfluous at this time.In the silence, there was a clang on the stage, and it turned out that Hei Ruyi suddenly appeared and returned to Guoguo's hand, and Guoguo lost his grip and fell to the ground.She stuck out her tongue and bent down to pick it up, holding it tightly in her arms.

Feng Junzi's "Dharma Guardian Fairy Boy" actually dropped the magic weapon on the ground, which is shameful enough!Fortunately, Ah You didn't drop the teapot, otherwise both the Living Buddha and Feng Junzi would have made a fool of themselves.But when everyone saw Guoguo's innocent and lovely appearance, they didn't realize that she was ashamed, and they all smiled instead.Some people also laughed out loud, and the atmosphere of the silent venue became lively again.

Master He Xi came to the stage again at this time, clasped his fists in salute and said in a clear voice: "The two senior masters performed the method with a superb realm! Since ancient times, immortals and Buddhas have been vague, and disciples have always had doubts about the way and the law. Today, this doubt can be eliminated. I am waiting for this opportunity to get a glimpse of the secrets of the sky, and I am good at cultivating diligently and fearlessly." He Xi spoke very briefly this time, and as the real person Shouzheng and Ge Jujizan Living Buddha, he didn't need to praise him too much.

As soon as a few sentences transitioned, they immediately came to the main topic: "At the good-knit meeting the day before yesterday, Wang Qingzi Fengjun and Hainan's head Qiye made a covenant to discuss Taoism, which is the third grand meeting of this performance." He Xi I wanted to say a few more words, but I found that everyone's eyes were already fixed on Qiye and Feng Junzi, and immediately said directly: "Please, Senior Wangqing and the head of Qiye, come out."

Having just seen Shouzheng and the Living Buddha's miraculous cultivation, which is close to that of an immortal Buddha, people are naturally looking forward to the discussion and fighting between Feng Junzi and Qiye.Although the performance of Shouzheng and the Living Buddha is incomparably miraculous, it is only a hint-like demonstration, there is no direct communication between each other, and it is not a real fight with the law.Of course it is impossible to confront each other in their identities, but the relationship between Feng Junzi and Qiye is different. Two days ago, it was agreed that both words and hands will be used, and this is the truly attractive finale.

Seeing that Master Hexi invited the two of them to appear on the stage, Junzi Feng should answer first as a senior. He sat there and waved his hands and said: "There is no distinction between superiority and superiority when discussing Taoism, and there is no need to get up to enter the arena. Qiye and I will sit and discuss it. The field is full."

What Feng Junzi meant was to sit in the same place with Qiye and discuss the doctrine, there is no need for two people to go to the venue to talk face to face, it would be like a woman quarreling in a vegetable market, but it would be inferior.He Xi also understood, nodded and said: "So, the young master and Qiye will sit down and discuss the Tao, and the audience will hear about it."

He Xi's address has changed at this time, neither Qiye is called the head nor Feng Junzi is called the senior. This change of title shows that the discussion has begun.The rules of practitioners' "discussion of Tao" do not distinguish between high and low status, because it is not "asking", so at this time, Junzi Feng and Qiye have equal identities. It is not impolite for He Xi to call him by his name, but a common kind of exquisite.

If you have not seen the "discussion" of a practitioner, it is easy to be misunderstood as similar to a secular "debate", but it is completely different!Not everyone is qualified to discuss the Tao. Of course, you can find someone to discuss it yourself and claim to be a Taoist, but practitioners in the world will not admit that it is a real discussion.Only people whose cultivation level can be set as a role model in the world can talk about the "Tao" between them.You can ask almost anything in the dialogue with each other, except for one sentence, which is "What is Tao?"

What is discussed is the Tao, why can't we ask what is the Tao?That is tantamount to forcing the other party to give a definition of Tao, but in fact this cannot be expressed in words, and it is not good not to answer, and it is arrogant to answer.So there is such a limitation.There are still many rules for discussing the Tao. Before Qiye and Feng Junzi discussed the Tao, the elders of each sect also explained in detail to the disciples. I also heard some when the Danxia couple explained it to Dan Zicheng.

Not to mention that there were many volunteer commentators in the audience, He Xi on the stage cupped his hands and said to Qiye on the east corridor in the distance: "Please use Qiye's allusions." This is also the rule at the beginning of the discussion. Once the topic of the discussion is settled, it will inevitably become a rambunctious chatter. "Using allusions" refers to citing a well-known classic to set the theme of this discussion.

Qiye got up and clasped her fists, stepped forward and said loudly: "I don't see the raccoon alone? I bow down and wait for the one. I jump on the beam from east to west, and I don't make a difference. I am in the machine, and I die in the innocence. Today, Husband An ox is as big as a cloud hanging from the sky. It can be big, but it cannot hold a mouse. Today I have a big tree, but it is useless. Why don't you tree it in a country where there is nothing, a vast field, wandering about nothing for it On the side, you can sleep freely and lie under it. There is no catty axe, and nothing is harmful. There is nothing to use, and it is difficult to live in peace!"
Although there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, Qiye is a junior after all. According to the rules, he is the one to use allusions, and he is the first to ask questions.Qiye quoted a passage from Zhuangzi himself in "Zhuangzi-Xiaoyaoyou", which is a fable.The original text is roughly as follows——

Huizi said to Zhuangzi again: "There is a big tree called 'Xi'. Its branches are useless, and the carpenters don't even look at it when it grows beside the road."... Zhuangzi said: "Sir, have you never seen a wild cat or a weasel? Humbling down, jumping here and there, accidentally fell into the trap set by the hunter, and died in the hunting net. Then there is the bull, which is as big as a cloud hanging from the sky, but cannot catch one Mice. Now that you have such a large tree, and you worry about its uselessness, why not plant it in the endless wilderness, where it can lie down or wander freely under the tree. The big tree will not be cut down by the axe, nor will it What is going to hurt it, because if it is useless, where is the trouble?"

After Qiye said this, it was regarded as an allusion, and He Xi turned to Junzi Feng and said, "Please solve the problem, my lord."

"Breaking the topic" means to determine the scope of the discussion based on the classics quoted by the other party.First of all, it is necessary to unravel the semantic meaning of the other party, point it out in one word, and let the onlookers understand the intention of both parties before it can be considered as an argument.
