Chapter 662 Zhang Zhiwei Discusses Immortals and Buddhas, and Transmits Ordination and Initiation

"Little donor, you are obsessed!"

Master Henglin did not continue to explain to Zhang Huaiyi.

He has seen clearly that the little Taoist priest in front of him does not want to listen to the truth, but just wants to know the current state of his senior brother. No matter how much he talks, it is just a chicken-to-duck talk.

He ignored the question and continued to preach.

Not getting an answer, Zhang Huaiyi stopped asking any more questions.

After he sat down, he realized something belatedly. He seemed to have asked some stupid questions and wasted an opportunity to ask for advice.

Zhang Huaiyi had the intention to raise his hand again so that he could ask for something constructive, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Because just now, someone didn't understand and wanted to ask Master Henglin to clarify their doubts, but Master Henglin didn't seem to see it and just told his own story.

Master Henglin did this not because he was deliberately neglectful, but because his purpose of teaching Buddhism this time was to allow the remaining monks of the Tiantai Sect to understand their true nature and not be blinded by hatred, so that they could understand what they should do next. What.

As for the others, they were just listening in. When he was interested, he could answer some questions, but he couldn't put the cart before the horse and waste too much time on these people.

The most important thing is that Zhang Huaiyi's question just now somewhat spoiled his mood.

Seeing this, everyone else also gave up their plans to seek advice from Master Henglin.

No one asked questions, and the efficiency of Master Henglin's lectures was greatly improved. However, the whole book was still taught from morning to late at night, and from late at night until the dawn of dawn...

Until the morning sun rises, the entire explanation of the Diamond Sutra is finally completed.

Master Henglin said solemnly: "Now that the explanation of the Diamond Sutra is over, I will give you a reminder at the end, a very important reminder."

When he said this, Master Henglin's eyes moved to the right, looking somewhere, but after only one glance, he took it back, and many people failed to notice it.

Zhang Zhiwei noticed that the direction Master Henglin was looking at was exactly the direction where Master Zuomen was.

I only heard Master Henglin say: "When we practice, we must achieve the goal of 'not giving birth to the appearance of the Dharma.' What does not give rise to the appearance of the Dharma? In fact, it means not to create anything in our hearts."

"If you want to become a Buddha, don't have the appearance of a Buddha in your subconscious mind. If you want to become an immortal, don't have the appearance of an immortal in your heart."

"Everyone understands Buddha, Immortal, and Tao in their hearts differently. Why are they different?"

"Because it was created subjectively by you. What you gave birth to yourself was born from this mind. Therefore, you should not generate the Dharma on your own, and stop looking for it..."

Don't generate the Dharma on your own... Zuo Ruotong murmured to himself the advice Master Henglin gave him. He naturally knew that Master Henglin was speaking to him.

Master Ruo An Henglin said that all the ancestors of their Trinity Sect, and even all their disciples, were generating their own Dharma, and they all had a predetermined path to becoming an immortal in their hearts, and they all had the appearance of becoming an immortal queen.

He has successfully walked this road, and he has also achieved the appearance of becoming an immortal, but...he has not become an immortal. If he had not met little friend Zhiwei, he would probably end up in a bleak way, and the future of Trinity Sect would also be difficult. Anticipate.

Since I don’t want to generate the Dharma by myself, am I still generating the Dharma by myself now? Zuo Ruotong asked himself.

Immediately he shook his head, even if he was practicing Saint Thief recently, he did not regard it as a way to become an immortal, he just wanted it to increase his lifespan.

For him, it is just a tool, a crutch that allows him to go further on the road of seeking Tao. It is not a goal, and naturally it is not a self-generated dharma.

So...what about the heaven-reaching and immortality that I want?

A leaf can't see Mount Tai, but Zuo Ruotong has undoubtedly seen further since he jumped out of the account that the third level of rebirth can become an immortal.

But the farther I look, the emptier I feel.

Perhaps, what I want is this space...

"Zuo Ruotong has benefited a lot, and I would like to thank the master!"

Master Zuomen walked out of the darkness, came to Master Henglin, raised his hands and said.

He had noticed Master Henglin's gaze earlier. Now that the other party had pointed it out, he would not continue to stand in the dark.

"Lao Na is just giving lectures to fellow disciples of the Tiantai Sect this time. The cultivation and moral character of the leader of the Zuo Sect are both above Lao Na. How can I say thank you?" Master Heng Lin said.

"Master Henglin, you're welcome. All Zuo has learned in his life has been devoted to martial arts. You are the first to pursue the path of enlightenment!" Zuo Ruotong said in a deep voice.

"We are just standing on the shoulders of our ancestors, nothing, nothing!"

Master Henglin sighed, and immediately looked into the darkness: "Niubi, you have the shame to do it, but don't have the shame to see others?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Who made the respected Shaolin abbot so angry?

Immediately, they saw a tall old Taoist priest walking out of the darkness, it was Tianshi Zhang Jingqing.

"Master!"

Zhang Zhiwei hurried over to meet him.

Zhang Jingqing nodded to him, and he couldn't say much about Zhang Zhiwei's behavior this time.

This time he almost cut off the Tiantai Sect's inheritance. He originally didn't want to do this, but his plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

His plan was that after reaching a certain level, Master Henglin would step forward and convert those monks just like he did just now.

But I didn't expect that Master Henglin would sit there like this. He didn't appear until Zhang Zhiwei had finished cleaning up.

Zhang Jingqing appeared, and others also went over to see the Tianshi.

The monk from the Tiantai Sect looked at Zhang Jingqing with a complicated expression.

It is impossible to say that their catastrophe has nothing to do with the old Taoist priest in front of them.

However, there was not much hatred in their eyes. Master Henglin's preaching about Buddhism day and night was not in vain. They did not say that they had let go of all their grudges, but they were no longer attached to those grudges.

In short, they don't like the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain, but they don't want to take revenge on the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain.

"What the master said was so good. I can't bear to disturb you. I'm a little rude. I'm sorry!"

Zhang Jingqing smiled apologetically.

Although Master Henglin called him Lao Niubi, he just slapped him hard and said Niubi a few times. You can call him if you want.

"Okay? What's so good about it?" Master Henglin looked at everyone: "I have little talent and little knowledge. After finishing speaking, you are still confused. I wonder if Heavenly Master has anything to add?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhang Jingqing with eager expressions.

The abbot of Shaolin has just finished preaching about Buddha. Could it be that Master Longhu wants to preach again? If so, then this trip will be really profitable.

Zuo Ruotong also looked at Zhang Jingqing, wondering what his old friend would think.

Master Henglin said this, Zhang Jingqing did not refuse, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The Tao is Tao, but it is very Tao. Your Buddhist stuff is obscure, and my Taoist stuff is actually not that easy to understand."

"One family can still gain some benefits, but there will also be some doubts. If one family listens more, the gains will not increase, but the doubts may increase."

"After all, the principles are the same, but each has its own doubts. Therefore, the old way has said it, and you may just increase your troubles."

"Amitabha, what should we do according to the heavenly master's advice?" Master Henglin asked again.

Zhang Jingqing smiled and said: "The so-called Tao, the so-called Buddha, if you really talk about it, you can't finish it for three days and three nights. So the old Taoist will make a long story short and use a Confucian sentence to describe it."

Although the three religions appear to be distinct, they have each been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, they are all integrating with each other, taking their essence and discarding their dross.

Therefore, those who are successful in one area are often equally successful in the other two areas.

Zhang Jingqing could only hear Zhang Jingqing saying slowly: "This sentence is that the most brilliant and the Tao are the mean. The destiny is called nature, the willful nature is called Tao, and the cultivation of Tao is called teaching. The Tao cannot be separated for a moment, but it is not the Tao to leave. "

He explained: "What is the Tao like? It is extremely brilliant but the Tao is the mean. It is the most common. It neither comes nor goes. It is here. This is the Tao that follows the nature of the Tao. This is the Tao that does not give birth to any dharma." Buddha'."

Zuo Ruotong thought thoughtfully. The Trinity Sect follows the principle of the unity of the three religions. He uses Confucianism to standardize his own morality, uses Buddhist compassion to treat outsiders, and uses Taoism to practice his own practice.

He definitely knows the most about Confucian knowledge among the three, so this sentence has the greatest impact on him.

As for Zhang Zhiwei, he didn't feel deeply about it. It was difficult for him to be influenced by these things.

"Pa bang bang..."

Master Henglin applauded: "This sentence from Lao Niubi is worth a day and a night from Lao Na!"

Zhang Jingqing shook her head: "That's an exaggeration. My words don't mean much to you, and they are not worth half of the abbot's talk about Buddhism."

Sure enough, the next moment, someone asked:

"Celestial Master, what you said is too profound and far beyond the realm of people like us. You might as well tell me directly, how can this be applied to practice?"

Zhang Jingqing closed her eyes and didn't answer. The master led him in. There is no answer to this because cultivation depends on oneself.

Master Henglin also smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Wudang Zhou Sheng, who had been listening carefully and silently, suddenly said:

"Xiao Dao has some understanding. What the Heavenly Master and the Abbot meant is that a true practitioner should have a mentality of working hard without working hard. If you add another gong to use, it will be the appearance. ”

He has always been like this, riding a donkey upside down on Wudang Mountain under the shade of the trees. He is leaning on the donkey's back, with his legs crossed, holding the Taoist canon in his hand, reading aloud in a measured tone, and smiling at the hard work of his fellow apprentices.

The masters have always said that he is lazy. In fact, he is really lazy, but he insists that this is the natural way of Taoism.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what the Heavenly Master said, he realized that he seemed to have bumped into him by mistake.

At this time, Zhou Sheng never expected that decades later, he would meet a successor who was lazier than himself.

Zhou Sheng’s words were quickly refuted by others.

The person who refuted it was Zhang Huaiyi, the newly promoted scroll king of Longhu Mountain. He could only be heard saying:

"I don't know what Taoism is natural, but Taoist Brother Zhou Sheng said that if you don't work hard, you have to work hard, and if you work too hard, you will achieve the goal. This is definitely wrong."

He pointed at Zhang Zhiwei: "As far as I know, my senior brother is the most diligent in his practice. If you go by what you said, doesn't he have a very deep attachment!"

"this……"

Zhou Sheng didn't know how to answer. If Zhang Huaiyi used other people as an example, he would definitely argue with him, but if he used Zhang Zhiwei as an example, he would have nothing to say.

Others looked at Zhang Zhiwei, wanting to know what the little heavenly master had to say.

Zhang Zhiwei was thinking about things in his mind and pretended not to hear.

Master Henglin also looked over. He actually showed preference to this disciple of his old friend when he was teaching about Buddhism.

Regarding Zhang Huaiyi's previous question, he was clearly trying to clear up Zhang Huaiyi's doubts, but secretly he was talking to Zhang Zhiwei.

Now it seems that he has gained something, so he might as well talk about it himself.

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhiwei, waiting for his answer, even Master Henglin, but Zhang Zhiwei ignored him at all, which made Zhang Jingqing unable to sit still.

"The abbot is asking you something." Zhang Jingqing narrowed her eyes at him.

Zhang Zhiwei came back to his senses, asked Tian Jinzhong about the reason, and said with a smile:

"Whatever has the appearance but not the appearance, it is natural and unnatural. If you deliberately pursue the natural, then it is unnatural. If you deliberately pursue the lack of the appearance, that is itself a kind of attachment."

"So, don't be deceived by the words in Buddhist scriptures and Taoist canons. The so-called non-generated dharma, Taoism and nature are actually a very ordinary state."

"As for what state it is? It's the way you are now. Don't think so much, focus on yourself, and feel calm."

"In short, don't assume that the realm of Buddha and immortals is so lofty. Maybe they are very ordinary, just like ordinary people like us."

Zhang Zhiwei has always had this mentality. He has no opponents, and those immortals and Buddhas are not his opponents.

Whether he is trying to trick the king or others, he is always trying to trick himself.

If there is no image in the heart, how can one get the image?

Zhang Huaiyi, on the other hand, only wants to surpass him in terms of means. This is the true state of affairs.

Zhang Zhiwei's words make people even more puzzled. Aren't immortals and Buddhas respected and pursued by everyone in the world?

Even if some people don't pursue it, it's not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare to think about it. From the words of the Little Heavenly Master, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Everyone wanted to refute Zhang Zhiwei and tell him that he was wrong. The realms of immortals and Buddhas were very high and could not be touched by ordinary people.

But because that was what Zhang Zhiwei said, they did not dare to refute it.

"The realm of the Little Heavenly Master is really unspeakably high!" Master Henglin praised.

Then, he looked at the monks of the Tiantai Sect and recited the Diamond Sutra. These monks also learned a lot. Among them, the monk Deyun who first questioned Ku Rong had a compassionate face.

"Good at fighting, there is another one who is worthy of the important task!" Master Henglin said with a sigh of relief.

He held Master Kurong's head in both hands and called Deyun to him to deliver the sermon to him.

"Do we need to avoid it?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

"No need, it's just a matter of a moment!"

Master Henglin waved his hand and said. He placed one hand on the top of Master Kurong's head and the other hand on the top of Monk Deyun's head.

"Deyun, next, I am going to give you an initiation and a teaching. Although the initiation is a tantric method, this method does not come from the tantra, but from your fifth ancestor of the Tiantai Sect, the initiation master!"

The fifth ancestor of the Tiantai Sect is called the Initiation Master.

Monk Deyun looked moved, clasped his hands together, and the Buddha sang:

"Amitabha Buddha is the teacher who has learned from those who have gone before and the teacher behind others. The young monk should take this as a warning."

"Very good, very good. The impurities of the body and mind are just like the glass vase. Namo Sathatha, Sugatraya, Arahath Emperor, Samyak Sam Bodhisattva..."

Master Henglin recited the initiation mantra, and the palm on Master Deyun's head suddenly clenched into a fist and struck down with a hammer.

In an instant, the golden light dispersed, and the entire Dharma Assembly was filled with light, like a blazing sun rising suddenly.

Everyone wanted to see the specific details clearly, but they only felt like the sun was shining across the sky, feeling infinite light and infinite heat.

Tears flowed from their eyes and they couldn't help but close their eyes, not daring to look anymore.

Only Zhang Zhiwei's eyes were as wide as copper bells, with golden flames boiling inside, reflecting a huge figure.
