I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Only on the basis of not losing anything can Rezhe do good for external things.

This is the spiritual light of Rezhe. He is not particularly great, nor does he have any great ambitions. I am who I am. I don't want to be someone else, nor do I want to imitate others.

A dazzling silvery divine light swirled around Razer, forming a vortex that reflected the starry sky and the Milky Way.

Lei Zhe slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with a calm and empty, snow-silver color, and looked at his teacher, the Buddha, before him, and softly asked:

"Teacher, is this 'thinking'?"

"Does my heart 'think' of this now?" This is what Rezhe meant.

"Haha, not at all, not at all. It's still a little bit lacking. It's truly remarkable that you've achieved this much at your age!"

The Buddha looked at Rai Zhe and laughed, then his body suddenly radiated boundless compassionate light.

With a solemn and dignified appearance, the Buddha, whose head was surrounded by a swirling wheel of light, smiled gently at the student before him. Then, the Buddha's light surrounding him immediately transformed into the snow-silver color of Rai Zhe's body, and his eyes were filled with a sense of great freedom, peace, and emptiness.

Neither thought nor non-thought, there is no self in person, no self in dharma, all dharma is empty!

Upon seeing this, Lei Zhe humbly nodded in understanding. His teacher, the Buddha, was directly telling him with facts that this was far from the true nature of the mind and had not yet touched upon its root.

The Buddha's spiritual attainment far surpasses Reiji's imagination. If Reiji's mind is currently at the bottom of the abyss, then the Buddha is directly at the bottom of the abyss.

The Buddha, who was walking ahead of the road, returned to the location where Rezhe was, letting him know that there was still a long way to go.

"Please continue to explain to me, teacher," Lei Zhe said humbly, seeking guidance from his teacher. "I want to understand the deeper mysteries and true meaning of spiritual practice."

"I was originally going to help you solidify your mental foundation," the Buddha said, withdrawing his great and free divine light, his expression compassionate and joyful. "However, your physique and soul are special. Once you entered, you directly mastered it. I'm afraid you can do the same with other powers."

Buddha's wisdom directly saw through some of the power Rai Zhe derived from Kirby. Originally, he planned to temporarily end the current tutorial, but Rai Zhe was indeed quite unexpected.

Now that you've entered this fundamental state of mind, you've established a firm foothold and can continue your practice.

"Appreciate further details."

Lei Zhe nodded respectfully to the Buddha, showing his respect for spiritual practice.

Seeing his calm and empty attitude, the Buddha nodded secretly: "Your heart is very devout to the Way, and you want to attain true freedom. However, you still have a long way to go. You lack a stronger belief in the Way."

"An even stronger belief in the pursuit of truth?" Lei Zhe was taken aback.

He is willing to give his all for everything he wants to protect. Can't such a belief be considered tenacious?

The Buddha did not explain with words, but looked at Rai Zhe with the eyes of a person of great enlightenment and wisdom.

Lei Zhe's vision went black, and he felt as if he had returned to being a poor and weak mortal. An insurmountable mountain pressed down on him, and his whole body and mind were unable to move. It was purely a mental suppression that made him unable to control his body and unable to move.

He was like Sun Wukong facing the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain; the Buddha before him was an insurmountable mountain.

"Can it be overcome?" The Buddha's sacred countenance seemed to carry a comforting smile as he looked down at Lei Zhe, asking him directly from the depths of his heart.

"..."

With his heart so devoted to the Buddha, Reiji truly couldn't say how he could overcome this towering peak when faced with the other's words of comfort.

But he could not retreat; he had a million paths to take, but no way back.

Behind the Buddha is the compassionate light of Buddha, which carries the weight of countless sentient beings, while behind Razer is the protection of those he cherishes and the light that extinguishes all obstacles.

In terms of spiritual weight alone, Raiji's foundation, quality, and purity are inferior to those of the Buddha.

But he has no intention of backing down, even when faced with insurmountable peaks.

Looking at the silence and determination on Rai Zhe's face, the Buddha nodded knowingly; he already knew his student's thoughts.

Therefore, he wanted to guide his students from the sea of ​​suffering to his own 'Tao'.

“Lei Zhe, although you are talented, in my opinion, there is still a slight sense of confusion and hesitation in your heart. With such a mindset, even if you are given unlimited resources and endless teaching, your achievements will be limited.”

The Buddha stopped testing Raji and pointed directly at his student's true nature, saying, "However, most people on the path to enlightenment are like you. They must experience the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the world before they can understand and cleanse the dust from their hearts. It is understandable that you are confused and hesitant now."

"You are simply trying to become stronger, but you don't know the true spirit of seeking the Way."

“The spirit of seeking the truth…” Lei Zhe repeatedly pondered these five words, looking at the Buddha and recalling the other’s path of seeking the truth, his heart was deeply shaken.

Buddha Shakyamuni renounced worldly life at the age of 29 (or 19 according to another account).

The other side lived during a time when ancient India was filled with warring states and annexing each other, and when class and people's contradictions were extremely sharp.

His Shakya clan was threatened by a powerful neighboring country and lived in constant fear.

He had foreseen the inevitable end, and therefore believed that the world was "impermanent".

In addition, he witnessed the cycle of aging, sickness, and death that follows human beings after birth, and realized that he himself could not escape the same fate.

This led to the realization that life is full of suffering, and the Brahmanical ideology and practices of the time could not provide him with a spiritual path to liberation. In the end, he renounced his throne and became a monk.

This demonstrates the Buddha's great perseverance, steadfastness, persistence, and wisdom.

The other party seeks the Way and searches for the Way, not only for their own sake, but also for the sake of all living beings in the world seeking the Way to be free from suffering.

After attaining enlightenment, he continued to think of all living beings in the world, which is why he passed down his lineage.

Perhaps it is because people are ignorant, or perhaps it is because human nature is fickle, that suffering still exists despite the teachings of the Buddha.

This caused the Buddhist chaos that even Razer despised, plunging civilization into a vicious cycle of stagnation.

Lei Zhe is now recalling the time he spent with his two teachers on a trip and taking a bath some time ago.

At that time, the Buddha displayed the frugal and stingy nature of an ordinary person, carefully calculating even the smallest expenses, such as tens or hundreds of yen.

When Lei Zhe, as a student, offered him a gift, he simply smiled like a Buddha and began to preach profound truths before refusing.

After losing the hundred-yuan coin, he felt depressed and dejected.

Jesus and Rezé couldn't stand it anymore and started to persuade him, saying it was no big deal and he could just consider it money for incense offerings.

As a result, Lei Zhe's teacher, Buddha, said in a dejected and low voice, "If the donation box... really had money for incense offerings sent to me, I wouldn't be so stingy."

This means you don't really think the money in the donation box will end up in his hands, do you?

It means that he has not lived up to his own ideals, and it also means that he laments that the world is still the same as always.

The Buddha wanted to liberate people from suffering, but unfortunately, the Buddhist teachings he passed down did not have a very good effect.

There are many people who take advantage of their status as monks to amass wealth and commit evil deeds. Even Christianity, founded by Jesus, is the same. Ordinary people have done many heinous things under the guise of divinity.

Even so, the Buddha's original intention remained unchanged. Even knowing that his ideals might never be realized, he was still willing to continue on that path.

Therefore, in Rai Zhe's eyes, the Buddha was so powerful, so magnificent and insurmountable.

The other party is walking on a difficult road with no end in sight, finding joy in hardship and seeking the path amidst suffering.

This is the Buddha's unwavering belief in seeking enlightenment.

You can see distant, brilliant ideals, but you can never reach the end. There is no road to walk in the darkness, so you can only continue to walk as the one who opens up the road.

He paved a bright path to enlightenment for future generations; whether one can achieve liberation or enlightenment depends entirely on the individual.

He never said that practicing Buddhism was the path to liberation, and he encouraged people to find their own path.

For his student Rai Zhe, the Buddha granted him a broad path, but also hoped that he could forge a branch from his own path that led to a completely different end.

Having realized this, Lei Zhe once again bowed solemnly to the Buddha, expressing his respect and understanding.

Seeing the hesitation and confusion in Rai Zhe's heart, the Buddha parted the clouds and revealed the clear sky, and smiled with joy at his student's great enlightenment.

"Mind and spirit, to transcend the mind to the highest holiness and divinity, requires constant tempering before its sharpness and brilliance can be revealed." The Buddha sighed with a compassionate expression: "My student Lei Zhe, you still lack a lot, the road ahead is long. No one can help you on the path of seeking the Way; only you can help yourself."

"Then, teacher, how can I delve deeper into the true nature of my mind?" Lei Zhe shook his head, calmed himself down, and began to ask again.

The Buddha opened his clasped hands and a cherry-pink petal fell into his palm through the open window: "A fellow Daoist in the East once said that the Dao follows nature. People can cultivate themselves by experiencing the myriad phenomena of nature, but nature is not everyone's ultimate pursuit. Neither am I, nor are you."

For the Buddha, experiencing nature was a process, but not his ultimate goal, and for his student Raiji, it was not the ultimate goal either.

Therefore, the saying "Tao follows nature" applies to 99% of people, but it is not the ultimate pursuit of those seeking the Tao.

At this point, the Buddha paused, and the cherry blossom in his hand drifted away in the wind: "You can now use part of your true nature. You can now engage in meditative practice to unite your true nature with phenomena."

The meditative practice of uniting one's true nature with the phenomenal nature of mind?

Lei Zhe seemed to understand but not quite. He could now enter a state of deep meditation without desire or thought, but he still had some doubts about the Buddha's teachings on entering deep meditation.

The Buddha began preaching directly to Reiji, his voice carrying a sacred and solemn Sanskrit tone: "Now that you have clearly seen your true nature, withdraw your spirit, observe your inner self, and consider your mind as the subject, while the physical body is an illusion."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe paused, then immediately closed his eyes slowly, reaching the state described by the Buddha in less than a second.

This spiritual state involves viewing the physical body as armor, where swords and axes cannot harm one when they strike the armor, thus allowing one to remain unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before one's eyes.

"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, illuminating that the five aggregates are all empty..."

"Take impermanence as permanence, suffering as pleasure, non-self as self, and impurity as purity..."

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed..."

The Buddha calmly looked at his student and continued to recite the principles of the Buddha's mind to guide Raji.

Words of truth were uttered from the Buddha's mouth, transforming into Sanskrit scriptures and mantras that fell onto the tatami mats around the two of them.

In an instant, dazzling and sacred golden lotuses bloomed around the two of them.

Lei Zhe firmly grasped his own mind; all the pain and sensations his physical body experienced in the material world were like dreams and illusions, completely irrelevant to him.

Now, Rezhe's thoughts are filled with longing, free from any pain or trouble, and he has entered a deeper state of great freedom, extending towards his true self.

"Away from deluded dreams, one attains Nirvana."

Lei Zhe, with his exceptional comprehension, understood the Buddhist principles spoken by the Buddha, and seemed to have gained some insight, speaking to himself inwardly.

The phrase "inverted dreams" has many general meanings, including "inverted" or "reversed."

First, they do not understand the truth of impermanence and mistake falsehood for truth;

Secondly, they are greedy for worldly pleasures and do not understand that desire is the root of suffering;

Third, they do not understand that everything in the world is illusory and impermanent, and that there is no essential difference between them, thus giving rise to many opposing delusions.

Fourth, they do not understand that "I" am also a product of causes and conditions, without inherent existence, and not eternal. In other words, the so-called "inverted dreams" are mistaking falsehood for reality and clinging to illusion as truth.

When one cannot distinguish right from wrong, or understand superiors and inferiors, this is called being upside down. Being upside down means being incompatible with one's true nature and going against one's true nature.

Dreams refer to the emptiness of the five aggregates.

Ultimate Nirvana refers to the highest and most perfect state of non-birth and non-death.

Life is unpredictable. We are unaware that we are in a sea of ​​suffering. When we pursue fame, fortune, and pleasure, we are happy when we get them temporarily, and we are in pain when we lose them.

"That's right, it's about getting rid of delusions and ultimately achieving Nirvana!" As Lei Zhe comprehended the Buddhist principles, the Buddha stopped speaking and directly explained the path of cultivation to Lei Zhe: "Originally, the physical body is real, and the mind is illusory. But to enter into deep meditation and eliminate impurities, one must reverse delusions, taking the illusory as real and the real as illusory."
