Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 1 Rebirth of Bodhidharma, Epiphany System

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships..."

Sanskrit sounds burst out, and incense curled up, accompanied by golden bells and wooden fish, echoing in the solemn and solemn Daxiong Palace.

Outside the temple gate.

The sky is not fully lit yet.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young monk was holding a bamboo broom, yawning with sleepy eyes.

Slowly sweeping the hallway.

The boy's name is Zhou Yuan.

Traveling from the earth to here, he became a little novice monk under the disciple of Zen Master Kongxiang, the abbot of Landa Temple.

Dharma name, Bodhidharma.

The young man didn't know what the relationship between his Bodhidharma had to do with the Patriarch Bodhidharma in Shaolin Temple who crossed the river with a reed and faced the wall for nine years.

But, as soon as it comes, let it go.

In addition, the strange world should not be tampered with.

Before you have strong strength, it is best not to run around.

Especially last night, after he saw a ghostly aura passing by in the night sky.

This idea is even more firm.

Early in the morning, he was awakened from his sleep by the deacon monk in the temple and came here to sweep the floor.

Sweeping the floor, chopping firewood, carrying water, watering the garden.

These rough jobs are the daily compulsory homework for monks in temples.

Although he is a disciple of the abbot of this temple, he is not immune.

Moreover, this was ordered by Zen Master Kongxiang himself.

One is to strengthen the body, and the other is to sharpen the mind.

"Do I want to be a monk here for the rest of my life?"

Bodhidharma touched his bald head that was as bright as a light bulb with his backhand, and he couldn't help but sighed secretly.

Right now.

clang!
There was a chime in the hall.

Crisp and hasty.

"Uncover the truth and uncover the truth, Paradise reveals the truth, Parasangha reveals the truth, Bodhisattva..."

The originally neat sound of the Buddha's horn came to an abrupt end.

One volume of the Heart Sutra has been read.

Just like a lullaby, Bodhidharma dozed off listening to it.

Strong spirits, ready to continue sweeping the floor.

Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". The system has automatically deduced it to a perfect state."

with the sound.

Bodhidharma suddenly felt that his spiritual consciousness was transparent, his spiritual platform was clear, and his mind was peaceful.

He raised his head slightly.

The sun is warm, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

One flower, one leaf, one world, one dust, one Tathagata.

Suddenly, an instant epiphany.

It was as if, in his eyes, the entire world of mortals had become more transparent than ever before.

A ray of brilliant Buddha's light burst out from the top of his head, jumped into the air, and enveloped the entire Landa Temple.

In the Buddha's light, golden lotuses emerge, necklaces fall, and heavenly dragons dance.

The might of the vast and boundless Buddhist sect is overwhelming like a tide.

In an instant, it has swept across a hundred miles.

The whole temple monks were shocked.

"Oh my god, is this the Dharma Body of a Bodhisattva on Lingshan coming to our temple?"

"It should be some master uncle who realized Bodhi wonderfully!"

"Amitabha!"

All the monks chanted scriptures, bowed down and bowed down, paying homage to the Buddha devoutly.

Daxiong Palace, in front of the Tathagata Buddha statue.

An old monk in white clothes is holding a Buddha seal, sitting cross-legged, with lowered brows and closed eyes, with a dignified appearance, and a faint light around his body, like a vajra ghost, circling around the Dharma protector.

This old monk is the abbot of Landa Monastery, Zen Master Kongxiang.

At this time, he had a wonderful realization of meditation, and he had entered the appearance of no self, just like a stone statue, motionless.

The futon under the seat forms a third-grade golden lotus, and the fragrance is everywhere.

Suddenly, the square inch swayed slightly.

Zen Master Kongxiang seemed to sense something, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Buddha's light shines everywhere, Tianlong protects the body..."

Zen Master Kongxiang smiled.

"Brother Kongxing has been in seclusion for many years, has he finally comprehended the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon?"

Zen Master Kongxiang originally thought that such a vision was aroused because his brother had left the seclusion.

Full of joy, he jumped up.

But when he went out of the hall to watch with all the monks, they couldn't help being stunned.

But I saw a young monk standing with a broom in the corridor outside the hall.

Around him, the light of Buddha lingers.

Even Zen Master Kongxiang was stunned.

It turned out that the person who comprehended the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon was not his Kongming junior who had been in seclusion for many years.

It was actually a young novice monk in this temple!

If I remember correctly, this little novice just joined his sect yesterday!

Even the law number is taken by myself!
At this time, someone recognized Bodhidharma and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Isn't this the little novice novice who was ordained just yesterday afternoon?"

Hearing this, the audience was shocked.

I just shaved yesterday, but today I have achieved epiphany and attained the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon!

Such a monstrous talent for understanding is unheard of!

Could this young man be the reincarnated soul boy of some Buddhist disciple?
All the monks looked at Bodhidharma with shock on their faces.

Buddhist practice.

Self-cultivation, enlightenment of wisdom, concentration, clarity of mind, and insight into nature.

Then there is the realm of Theravada Dragon and Elephant.

According to seeing the four truths of suffering and eliminating the Tao, and cutting off the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, you can practice the six supernatural powers of Buddhism from then on.

However, to reach this step, even if one is extremely talented, one has to practice hard for decades.

Not to mention the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon.

For example, Zen Master Kongxiang.

Legend has it that he is the reincarnation of Mahasthama Bodhisattva, one of the "Three Saints of the West".

Possess supreme wisdom and willpower.

However, he has practiced Zen meditation for more than 40 years. By chance, the flowers bloomed to see the Buddha, and only then did he realize the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon Realm.

But the young monk in front of him is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has reached the realm of Mahayana Heavenly Dragon Consummation at such a young age.

At this speed, I am afraid that there will be another Buddha in Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan soon!

"What is the origin of this Bodhidharma? Could it be that I was mistaken, that he is really a certain Buddhist disciple from Lingshan who went down to earth?"

Out of curiosity, Zen Master Kongxiang secretly raised his Dharma Eye and looked at Bodhidharma.

With his current cultivation base, although he can't see all living beings in the heavens.

But it is easy to see through a person's origin.

But the strange thing is that Bodhidharma's whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and Zen Master Kongxiang's Dharma Eye could not see through it at all.

This surprised Zen Master Kongxiang even more.

"Wonderful! Weird!"

Zen Master Kongxiang was amazed.

After about half a stick of incense time.

The thousands of Buddha lights around Bodhidharma finally gradually disappeared.

If so, all the monks suddenly felt reverence, bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly at the Buddha's name.

Only Zen Master Kongxiang looked at Bodhidharma with a smile.

But Bodhidharma's face is like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, the treasure is solemn, and the aura is compelling.

Like the Buddha son of Lingshan, he came to the mortal world.

Seeing this, Zen Master Kongxiang liked it very much, and took a verse casually.

"Enlighten Bodhi under the Bodhi tree, peek into the mirror in front of the mirror stand, the world of mortals think of three thousand worlds, don't let the dust stain the mind of Zen."

His verse was intended to warn Bodhidharma.

The world of mortals rolls in three thousand realms.

When one thought arises, one realm falls.

If you have arrogance and impetuosity, you will definitely delay your practice.

Unexpectedly, Bodhidharma folded his palms together and smiled lightly.

It seems to have seen through all life and death honors and disgraces in the world.

"Bodhi originally had no trees, and a bright mirror was not a stage. Originally, there was nothing, so where could it cause dust?"

As soon as this gatha comes out.

Thousands of golden Buddha lights suddenly shot up into the sky.

Tianlong haunts, Xiangyun supports.

In midair, countless wreaths of heavenly flowers fell like rain.

Zen Master Kongxiang was slightly startled.

Immediately overjoyed.

The reason why he enrolled Bodhidharma before was because he took a fancy to Bodhidharma's wisdom root.

He is talented and intelligent, and has a relationship with Buddha.

But now it seems that Bodhidharma's wisdom root is far beyond imagination!

"This son was born with Su Hui and realized Bodhi. Such a genius is far superior to all other disciples. In the future, he may inherit my mantle and pass on the lamp to seal his heart!"

Think about this.

Zen Master Kongxiang walked towards Bodhidharma slowly, holding flowers and smiling.

"Dharma, come here!"

Damo stepped forward.

Eyelids drooped, palms clasped together, expression full of respect.

Looking at Bodhidharma with a smile, Zen Master Kongxiang nodded with satisfaction.

To become a true master, one must have the heart of an apprentice!
Followed by.

Zen Master Kongxiang stretched out his skinny right palm and rubbed its top.

"Bodhidharma, from now on, you will officially become my closed-door disciple, and I will teach you everything I have, and pass on the light to you!"
