Chapter 27 Seeking the Buddha and Seeking the Heart


The French saying of the Pure Land Dharma is "One point of sincerity will bring you a point of benefit, and very much sincerity will get you a lot of benefits."

After all, Buddhism is a system of cultivating the mind.

In Buddhism, the two words "sincerity and respect" can be regarded as the secret key to becoming a Buddha. .

Although it does not mean that one cannot learn Buddhism without a sincere heart, but people without a pious heart cannot understand the subtleties of Buddhism and will easily fall into the heretics of magical powers.

Therefore, people who have extremely high attainments in Buddhism either make themselves extremely consistent with Buddhism through devout enlightenment again and again, or in the process of enlightenment again and again, they derive more and more doubts, and then become in harmony with Buddhism.

The opposite exists.

But the current situation in Brahma in the West obviously cannot be said to mean that the people living here do not have a pious heart.

It is difficult for them to learn the core of Buddhism because of the lingering resentment and entanglement in their hearts, which makes them have a distrust of Buddhism from the bottom of their hearts.

Exclusion creates a strange situation where one seems pious but is not pious.

In this case, enlightenment not only achieves twice the result with half the effort, but can also easily arouse their doubts and give rise to some demons.

You must know that although the nine continents are similar to each other, the souls of the continents themselves do not flow frequently.

Most of the time, the souls of one continent rotate in one continent, and the souls that flow to other continents are less than one ten thousandth of the total. one.

In addition, the establishment of the Pure Land in the Brahma Continent in the West has affected the reincarnation system.

Those who are devout in faith will only reincarnate in the Brahma Continent.

The Dharma cultivation accumulated in their lifetimes will awaken in doubts and they will be reincarnated in an instant.

Falling into the devil's trap, just like the Zhengfa monk in Xiao Jiuzhou in the past, he became a generation of devil Buddha.

Therefore, it is not easy for Monk Yuandu to give enlightenment directly.

His current approach is somewhat similar to some practices of Zen temples in China.

There is a habit in Zen Buddhism.

They like to set up a flagpole in front of the temple and hang different flags to tell people around them what activities are happening in the temple.

They will never specially invite them.

It's like if you like it, you can come; if you don't want to, don't do it.

Come on; if I can learn it, I’ll be happy; if I can’t learn it, I won’t say much.

This kind of teaching method will not arouse personal doubts, and at the same time it can ensure the piety of those who come to study.

Thinking of this, Li Haocheng said softly: "Since the Master is willing to fulfill such a great wish, and the poor monk is also willing to contribute his meager efforts, I have a secret mantra here that can remove all obstacles, remove all illnesses and pains, and achieve all good deeds."

Because of the Dharma; because of staying away from all fears.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the old monk Yuandu, Li Haocheng opened his mouth and recited a mantra: "Shen Di Di Tu Shen Qi Sha Po He" After the words fell, the Buddha's light like moonlight appeared behind Li Haocheng, and the shadow of a Bodhisattva gradually emerged.

This Bodhisattva has a white body, a fist in his left hand, resting on his waist, and a lotus flower in his right hand.

There is a half-moon shape on the lotus flower. , the cold moonlight blooms, illuminating the void, creating a glazed pure land.

"Namo Baoyue's pure light shines all over Bodhisattva Mahasattva."

Old monk Yuandu clasped his hands and bowed respectfully towards the shadow behind Li Haocheng.

A moon-white lotus fell into the hands of the old monk Yuandu, and countless teachings and principles about the path of Precious Moonlight Bodhisattva flowed into the monk's heart.

Taking advantage of the other party's slight loss of concentration, Li Haocheng pulled Xu Longtu and walked away immediately, turning around and continuing to move forward.

After a moment, the old monk Yuandu opened his eyes, looked at the empty scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, it's not that he didn't know that something was wrong with Li Haocheng's identity.

Although he couldn't see through the disguise of Taixu Fa, some of Li Haocheng's actions and habits still exposed the truth that he was not a person who worshiped Buddha for many years.

Coupled with the Xu Long picture on the side, Yuan The old monk was 70% sure of his guess.

Therefore, he told Li Haocheng something, hoping to use the opportunity of communication to arouse the Buddha's light around him, allowing him to understand the supreme subtleties of Buddhism, and then convert him into Buddhism.

However, he did not want Li Haocheng to act so unreasonably. .

Through his words, he imparted to himself various insights on the path of the Treasure Moonlight Bodhisattva.

Since then, the shadow of the Bodhisattva has faded away in his heart, and he has benefited from it and cannot continue to struggle with it.

For people like Old Monk Yuandu, unless Li Haocheng and others really stand against Buddhism and Taoism in the future, he will never trouble them.

Even today's matter, at most, it is reported to assist in the investigation, but it is impossible.

On the other side, Li Haocheng and Xu Longtu had not been walking for long when they heard the Buddha's call: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha" The name of the Buddha is extremely weird.

At first glance, it sounds like "Namo Amitabha", but if you listen carefully, you will find that the other person seems to be chanting "Namo Amitabha".

The two of them were a little curious, but the cloud light came down.

Watch carefully.

I saw an old man with a face full of dementia.

He kept kowtowing to a stone statue of Buddha and chanted weird Buddha names.

People passing by sighed or shook their heads, but most people left a little food as a gift to the old man when they left.

Through their communication, Xu Longtu and Li Haocheng knew that this old man was a well-known disabled person here.

He has been deaf and dumb since birth, but since he became sensible, he has done his best to help the people around him and comes here to worship every day.

The Buddha statue has been standing for more than seventy years now.

Some time ago, he was not in good health and he came here with his sick body in mind.

But now it seems that it will not last long.

Xu Longtu, who was hiding nearby, looked at the old man in surprise.

He clearly heard the other person chanting Buddha's name.

In comparison, Li Hao was much calmer.

With the blessing of the clear light of the jade talisman, he could clearly see the faint Buddha light on the old man's body.

The light was clear, like glass, and the inside and outside were bright and quiet.

It is the power transformed from the bright willpower.

Its essence is so high that even with Li Haocheng's knowledge, he can only say that the divine light of God Milo is better than the other.

The other gods and cultivators are at most equal to it and cannot Go beyond the law.

The reason for this result is that this bit of Buddha's light is faintly connected to the sky light of a certain pure land in the void.

This pure land is naturally not the pure land where Buddhist and Taoist monks gather in the West.

When Li Haocheng discovered the Buddha's light, he looked along the Buddha's light.

He could only see the endless Buddha's light, but not the slightest trace of its interior.

Obviously, its essence was extremely It is so high that it is close to the legendary paradise in the west.

"Would you wish to receive guidance before you die?"

After Li Haocheng softly recited a famous Buddhist wish, he repeated it softly: "Suppose I achieve Buddhahood, and sentient beings in the ten directions will arouse bodhicitta, cultivate all kinds of merits, and make a sincere wish to be born in my country.

At the end of his life, if he is not surrounded by people, he will not achieve enlightenment."

This is a controversial wish in Buddhism.

Some people think that as long as they recite Namo Amitabha before dying, they can be guided.

However, in fact, this great wish has a premise of "generating bodhicitta, cultivating all merits, and being sincere."

Make a wish to be born in our country."

In other words, if you want to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you must have three prerequisites.

The first is to generate bodhicitta, which is the so-called heart of "pursuing the Buddha's path and transforming all living beings"; and then cultivating merits, which generally refer to the six The third is to make a sincere wish.

To put it bluntly, it means to make a sincere wish to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

After the three are achieved, Namo Amitabha will lead the people in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and the people who have been predestined in the past lives around them when that person is about to die, and enlighten them so that they can be reborn in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss without any worries.

The old man in front of him obviously complies with Amitabha's great wish, so he showed such a vision.

There was a trace of struggle in Li Haocheng's eyes.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Namo Amitabha is obviously a first-level existence of Buddha.

Facing his glory will not help Li Haocheng's future path.

But the same problem is that Li Haocheng is not sure that his own path will not be affected by close contact with such high-quality Buddha's light
