Chapter 952 The Walking Seeker
"This? Is this a dream, or an epiphany?"
The Jade Emperor found that he had suddenly come to a magical place, filled with an aura that was more tempting to monks than aura.
"Could this be the origin that the master once said?" The Jade Emperor suddenly thought.
On top of the aura, there is the origin, which is the source of all things in the world. When he followed Hongjun to practice, Hongjun told him.
But this is the first time seeing.
"Where is this?" Jade Emperor was in a daze.
Sudden!
"It doesn't matter where it is, what matters is, how about you experience it for yourself?"
A question suddenly interrupted the Jade Emperor's contemplation, and saw a figure condensed, slowly showing the appearance of the beginning.
"Dao Zun." The Jade Emperor panicked, and hurried to see Dao Zun.
"No need to be too polite, just follow what the deity said, feel it for yourself, and let go of the primordial spirit to feel it."
"yes!"
According to what Taichu said, and according to his recent progress, the Jade Emperor let go of the Yuanshen and felt this place full of origin.
The feeling of restraint, vastness, and harmony, but when he tried deeper, he found an invisible obstacle, which prevented his soul from merging with this place.
The Jade Emperor woke up from it.
"How does it feel?" Taichu asked.
"Dao Zun, the disciple feels the power of restraint, and also the power of vastness and obstruction."
"Well, that's right." Taichu nodded, "The power of restraint comes from yourself, just find a way to break free from the restraint, but what restrains you is your heart, try another way instead of using your Haotian heart, try Let your heart become the heart of heaven."
"this?"
"The disciple doesn't understand."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's good to have enlightenment and practice. This deity is just giving you an idea." Having said that, Taichu didn't say anything, but said again:
"As for the vastness you mentioned, it is the vastness produced by your heart resonating with this place. If you can achieve fusion, you will find even greater vastness. Of course, the premise is that you transform into Tianxin, so that Tianxin can merge."
Finally said: "As for the obstacle you mentioned? Because this place is not the place you need to merge, this is the spirit world, you need to go to the fairy world, there is more vast, so be it, first realize the Tianxin, and then merge with the fairy world, you will feel Huo Han, the obstacles will be gone after that, you step back."
After Taichu finished speaking, he looked at the confused Jade Emperor and waved his hand.
Recruited, heaven and earth change!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"En!" The Jade Emperor was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and found himself in Lingxiao Hall.
Taibaijinxing is calling itself.
"Well, Taibai, why are you here..., why did you call me?" The Jade Emperor finally realized that he might have had a dream just now, or that he was summoned into the dream by the Taoist without anyone noticing, and he was right. He said something mysterious.
In fact, I have been in Lingxiao Palace all the time.
"Your Majesty, Xuanzang, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, is on his way, and he will rescue Monkey King in the near future. You asked me to remind you." Taibai said.
"That's it, I know, you can step back." The Jade Emperor waved his hand to make Taibai step back first.
He remembered that he had said that when Xuanzang was on his way, he asked Taibai to remind him.
However, having just experienced such an illusion, he is still confused about the meaning of the beginning.
After Taibai left...
"Dao Zun is getting more and more miraculous, and he summoned me in this way?"
"It's just, what does Daoist mean by this, my heart is heavenly? Could it be that Daoist also discovered that my heart is not perfect?"
The Jade Emperor has made great progress recently, and found that he seems not perfect, always feels that he is not the real self, and he has lost a lot.
Moreover, every time I am in the Divine Pillar of Luck in the Heavenly Court, there is always a feeling of calling, and this calling becomes stronger and stronger as my state of mind is complete.
"Besides, Daoist said that the fairy world is my direction, isn't the spiritual world?"
The Jade Emperor had thought about this question, just like Houtu united with the Taoist underworld, but there is a Taoist ancestor in the fairy world, how could he be the same as Houtu Empress.
"Does the Daoist want me to drive the master away?"
"This?" Jade Emperor didn't dare to think about it.
Drive Hongjun away, let alone he dare not, even if he can do it, he won't do it.
"I always feel something strange, but I just can't understand it. It's really uncomfortable." The Jade Emperor shook his head helplessly.
"Also, why didn't the Daoist summon me to go there, but give advice in the illusion? Could it be that the Daoist is still angry with my previous behavior. Wuliang Tianzun, should I spare some time to apologize to the Daoist..."
The Jade Emperor was confused!
…………
In the spiritual world, there is a kingdom of Tang.
Among them was an eminent monk named Xuanzang, who was a disciple of Buddhism.
As early as when Sakyamuni came to the West, Buddhism had left behind a buddha seed, but it was not prosperous.
The eminent monk Xuanzang is the tenth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and this time he is still an eminent monk.
He feels that the reason why the Dharma cannot be spread is because the Hinayana Dharma has too many restrictions after all.
He had heard for a long time that the Buddhist holy place of Daleiyin Temple in the west had "Mahayana Buddhism" written by Buddha Tathagata. Xuanzang really wanted to go to Leiyin Temple to obtain the scriptures.
With such an ambition, he became a high monk and got the help of the emperor in the world.
Even in an illusory dream, I got the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and after waking up, I found that everything was real.
This strengthened his heart even more, and all Bodhisattvas came to help him, which shows that it is a great merit to go to the west to seek "Mahayana Buddhism".
However, the Bodhisattva also said that it will be very difficult.
However, Xuanzang was not afraid of difficulties. After making the decision, the Emperor Tang sent him off and embarked on a journey to the West to seek the scriptures.
Along the way, I trekked through mountains and rivers, and this day I arrived at a mountain that was transformed by one or five fingers.
Xuanzang, who was resting, suddenly heard someone calling his name.
After he found the source of the sound, he miraculously found a monkey trapped by a mountain.
Only a head and an arm were exposed.
"Are you a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, with the name Xuanzang?"
The monkey's words were astonishing, which frightened Tang Seng.
However, as an eminent monk, he has the calmness of life and death without fear, joy or sorrow.
His complexion didn't show it. He, who has read a lot of scriptures, naturally knows that there are gods, ghosts and ghosts in the world, and it is not outrageous to meet a monkey.
Xuanzang said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is Xuanzang, how did the benefactor know?"
"Ha ha--"
Suddenly there was a loud laugh, the monkey's laughter shook Xuanzang almost unable to stand.
"It really is you, it really is you, you are finally here, master!"
"What does the benefactor mean?"
"Master, my old grandson is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who once made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace... and was suppressed here by the Tathagata. Not long ago, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said that there is a Master Xuanzang who came from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land and would go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures." , let my old grandson escort you to the west..."
After finishing speaking, Xuanzang called out the Buddha's name without questioning.
He is extremely devout to Buddha, and he was enlightened by Avalokitesvara himself, so he naturally believes in it.
As for the apprentice's ability, he didn't want to know. To him, it was just the Bodhisattva's arrangement. Even if the Bodhisattva didn't make the arrangement, he would go to the Western Paradise himself, even if he might die.
Afterwards, according to Sun Wukong's instructions, Xuanzang climbed to the top of the mountain and unveiled the Buddha's six-character mantra.
Sun Wukong is a person who keeps his promise, so he wants to come out if he tells Xuanzang to stay away.
This excitement and desire, he has been waiting for five hundred years.
I am so happy, especially after the revelation of the six-character mantra, the return of mana.
"Boom—"
"Crack——"
Xuanzang, who was hiding far away, looked at all this with a little surprise.
"Amitabha, it looks like this poor monk wants to have many incredible disciples."
"Just call me master and let me call him apprentice?"
"Master is the title of the outer sect, teacher is the title of the inner sect, and master is the title passed down personally."
"Besides, apprentice is a pet name, and apprentice is a courtesy name. It seems that my apprentice is right. He has a glorious past and a true teacher in his heart. I am just a master..."
Xuanzang, who is profound in wisdom, can see a lot just from a few simple dialogues and Sun Wukong's ability.
However, he failed to shake him. For him, seeking the truth is the first priority. If there is an apprentice, there must be an apprentice.
"Such a person is suppressed by the Buddha. I, the Buddha, are merciful. If there is no reason, how can I suppress him? I think my apprentice is rebellious and made mistakes. Guanyin Bodhisattva asked him to protect me. Why didn't he let me influence him too?"
"Alright, this is a test for the disciple, and the disciple should influence this Monkey King."
Xuanzang made up his mind.
...
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"My old grandson is out, out. Haha..."
"Buzz!"
"Good baby, good baby." Seeing Good Fortune's one-yuan stick, he also followed Monkey King in joy.
It's just that when Sun Wukong took a closer look, he discovered that the five characters inscribed on the Good Fortune One Yuan Stick had been changed to Good Fortune Ruyi Stick.
"Haha, good fortune is good, good fortune is good? When did you change your name?" Monkey King said happily.
"Om!" Good fortune Ruyi stick trembled, as if reminding Monkey King, did you forget the silver-haired Taoist, he was the one who changed it.
"Silver-haired Taoist, yes, yes, I must find him." Monkey King was taken aback.
However, now is not the time, since he promised Avalokitesvara to protect Xuanzang, and even if he repents at this moment, he is not an opponent of Buddhism.
I even have a vague feeling that if I go to the Western Paradise with the monk Xuanzang, I will have great merit.
Due to various factors, Monkey King decided to fulfill his oath first.
"call--"
Monkey King came to Xuanzang in an instant.
Xuanzang didn't have any cultivation, he looked compassionate and compassionate, his eyes were full of kindness and wisdom.
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked himself to protect him, which shows that this monk is not simple.
What's more, anyway, there is a life-saving grace, there is a salvation grace.
Forget it, so what to protect him, so what to worship him.
"Disciple Sun Wukong pays homage to Master, thanking Master for his saving grace." Monkey King pays homage to Xuanzang.
"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Xuanzang smiled slightly, thinking: at least it's a good start.
Sun Wukong is testing Xuanzang, so why isn't Xuanzang also testing Sun Wukong?
In this way, the master and apprentice set foot on the road to the west.
After following Xuanzang for a while, Monkey King discovered that the monk was very wise.
The only depressing thing is that Master Xuanzang is really long-winded, always trying to recreate a new value for himself.
But can I change myself? If it changes, it will not be Monkey King.
Monkey King is dealing with Xuanzang, Xuanzang can see it, but he is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time.
Earlier, Sun Wukong experimented with flying to the west with Xuanzang on his back, but it didn't work, and he still felt a sense of great fear and crisis.
After that, Monkey King gave up. Sure enough, as he expected, learning from the scriptures is not so simple, and it seems to be a fixed number, and it is also a number of days.
No wonder I had a feeling of a great opportunity before, that my merits and virtues will be perfected, and this will be a little clearer.
After giving up carrying Xuanzang to fly to the west, Monkey King began to take care of Xuanzang all the way westward.
this day!
"Wukong, why do you always look at the sky?"
"Master, because the apprentice yearns for it!"
"Wukong, this is different from your name."
"Master, to tell you the truth, you are really right. The teacher who taught me once told me that everything is empty, the heart is empty and the body is not empty.... But the apprentice did not do it. As a result, he caused a catastrophe and was killed by the Tathagata." Buddha suppressed, with you saving me, I can't be a real 'Wukong'."
"It doesn't matter, Wukong. The only one who can truly realize that everything is empty may be the Buddha! We are not Buddhas, we can't do nothing, just because we can't do everything is empty, so we seek Buddha."
"Oh? Master, do you have an obsession that you can't let go of?"
"This is natural. The obsession of being a teacher is that we are now seeking scriptures from the west, and seeking the scriptures is the obsession of being a teacher. It is because of this obsession that we are fearless and motivated to be a teacher."
"Haha, master, you have given the apprentice a new understanding of Buddha."
"Amitabha, this is good."
...
After finishing speaking, the master and apprentice were silent for a long time.
Xuanzang, who had finished meditating and reciting sutras, suddenly said, "Wukong, how about giving you a new name for my teacher?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
"Being a teacher means that 'Wukong' is the heart of seeking Tao, and the name is obsession, which is good. At least you don't get lost, and at least you have a direction. However, you might as well treat it as your dharma name. Changing a new name is also considered a new name." How about cutting off the past?"
"Haha..." Sun Wukong smiled, "Master, you want to change me again, why are you so persistent?"
"Amitabha! Wukong, it is true that I want to change you as a teacher, and I have never avoided it as a teacher. However, as a teacher, I believe that sincerity leads to gold and stone, and it is useless to worry. So I will not be so unwise as a teacher. I really want to be a teacher. There's a name that suits you well."
"Is that so?" Sun Wukong thought for a while.
After a while, I asked, "Master, what name did you give your apprentice?"
"'Wukong' is your highest goal. To make everything empty and not empty is a manifestation of consummation. But consummation is difficult. My teacher gave you the name: Xingzhe!"
"Walker?" Sun Wukong was taken aback.
"Yes, Walker!"
"What does the walker mean?"
"Without him, how about a person who walks, a person who seeks the path, and a person who seeks the Tao and walks for 'Wukong'?"
"Walker, walker? Walking seeker? Good, good, good, haha..."
Sun Wukong suddenly smiled, Wukong is the ultimate request of Teacher Bodhi to himself, and he hopes that he can see everything, which is a kind of complete state of mind at that time.
But the previous self far failed the meaning of Wukong.
Of course, he can't be blamed entirely, who made Dragon Palace, Hell, and Heaven so weak, he swept away, so he thought he was invincible.
It's just that the strength of the Tathagata and the mystery of the silver-haired Taoist later, Sun Wukong experienced an illusory dream and found that he was still far behind.
At least I don't know why the Tathagata is so strong, and I don't know how the silver-haired Taoist exists.
It may be possible to have the power to fight against them if you really have "Wukong", but Wukong is far behind.
He still needs to become stronger, and he also demanded that he can't reach the real "Wukong" at present.
It is better to be a walker as Master Xuanzang said: a walker who seeks the way.
Therefore, Sun Wukong, who wanted to open it, said: "Thank you, master, for giving me the name. From now on, my old grandson will be named Wukong, named Xingzhe, Sun Wukong, Sun Xingzhe."
"Good!" Xuanzang nodded with a smile. This is the change, which is subtle.
