Chapter 241 The Seven Days of Lectures
Unknowingly, the realm of Xiao Wuxiang Zen skill quietly broke through and entered the equanimity factor of the four dharma. The equanimity factor is the heart that leaves happiness without regrets and is called equanimity. Once the fourth dharma is immovable and true concentration is achieved, it is difficult to let go of the three dharma.
Happiness, no regrets, hence the name equanimity. It is also said that when the four jhanas are immovable, concentration should not be used to activate the mind. If the mind is equanimous, there will be no movement of thoughts.
Qi Ze is really like a round lump of Buddha nature, shining brightly. He doesn't know whether this body is outside or inside, whether this thought has arisen or has disappeared. It rises and falls, and there is no way to distinguish between reality and reality.
After half a day passed, everyone was hungry and a little uneasy again. Qi Ze sensed it immediately and withdrew from the trance. He smiled secretly and said: "It's a pity that this body is gathered by the four elements. Even the supreme Dharma cannot relieve hunger and thirst."
That’s what I mean!” He then said, “I’ll be here in the morning and I’ll treat all the good people to a meal!”
The Murong family had already prepared and immediately invited everyone to have dinner. Murong Qing took advantage of this opportunity to ask Qi Ze for advice on the secrets of the scriptures. Qi Ze explained a few words and saw that he seemed to have learned something. He couldn't help but secretly be afraid. If Murong Qing
Influenced by Buddhism, he insisted on being ordained and became a monk, for fear that Qin Kuo's master would immediately come from the Tiangang Gate and slap him to death with one palm.
111 Buddhism and Taoism practice different paths, but in the end they all come from the same source, and there is something we can learn from. Especially what is said in the meaning of the Diamond Sutra: "How can one subdue one's mind?"
The one and only method.
Murong Qing had a feeling in his heart. If he could understand the meaning of this sutra, he would be able to advance further. Maybe Nascent Soul has a chance, so how could he not be interested in it?
Qi Ze hadn't eaten a drop of rice for half a day, so he was pulled by Murong Qing to ask questions. Fortunately, he had already stopped eating, so he patiently explained the meaning of the sutra to him. At the end, he said: "This Diamond Sutra contains subtle meanings and contains the fundamental and wonderful teachings of Buddhism.
It’s a pity that I only have three levels of meditation practice, so I can’t personally realize the supreme enlightenment. I shouldn’t say too much, because too much will be wrong. I ask fellow Taoists to forgive me!”
Murong Qing listened to a lot of scriptures, and he was just like a enlightened enlightenment. It was the time when spiritual light appeared frequently, and he said: "Master, why do you have to be humble? If you don't dare to be a teacher based on your cultivation of Buddhism, wouldn't those monks in the Mahabodhi Temple
Are you looking for a piece of tofu to kill?"
Qi Ze remained silent. Murong Qing knew he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "There is one more good thing I want to tell Master!" Seeing that Qi Ze had no intention of talking to him, he could only say: "I will tell the door about Wan Qixiong.
The sect promised to send a Nascent Soul-level elder to take charge of Youzhou City, and as soon as that elder arrives, there is no need to fear that Wan Qixiong will come to cause trouble again!"
Qi Ze nodded and then said: "It is indeed a good thing! But when will the elder arrive in Youzhou? He must arrive before Wan Qixiong comes to cause trouble again!"
Murong Qing said: "Master, don't worry, the elder has already arrived at starry night, and he will definitely not make any mistakes!"
When Qi Ze thought about it, Murong Qing could trust him if he wanted to inquire about the Chunyang Sword Sect. If he didn't ask him to inquire, he said, "I wonder if fellow Taoist Murong knows anything about the Chunyang Sword Sect?"
Murong Qing said in surprise: "Master, what are you asking about the Chunyang Sword Sect? Is it possible that you are tired of practicing Buddhism and want to switch to Taoism and go to the land of those misers of the Chunyang Sword Sect to accumulate Qi?"
Qi Ze smiled and said: "I have a friend who is a disciple of the Taoist sect and has reached the perfection of Ningsha. He heard that the Chunyang Sword Sect has all the Tiangang Qi and wants to practice there, so he asked me to inquire."
Murong Qing said: "That's it! The Chunyang Sword Sect occupies a geomantic treasure land. The clouds of Gang Qi above it are extremely thick, almost the best in this world. It is said that there are thirty-six kinds of Gang Qi, which attracts many Gang practitioners to stay here.
The misers of Liu. Chunyang Sword Sect guarded this foundation and raised the price. Over the years, they have made a lot of money. However, unless the Qi you cultivate is extremely rare, or you must have thirty-six kinds of Qi
Everything is complete, otherwise I would not agree with the master’s friend to go to the Chunyang Sword Sect to practice martial arts.”
Qi Zedao: "Why is this?" Murong Qing said: "It's nothing. Those miserly lions of the Chunyang Sword Sect are talking loudly. The more helpless a casual cultivator is, the more they want to kill him with a knife, even if they are a disciple of a well-known and upright sect. , they often end up being slaughtered to the point of being overwhelmed, and after practicing the Gang Qi, they become penniless, and all the wealth they have worked so hard to accumulate is gone!"
Qi Ze said: "If the Chunyang Sword Sect is really so exhausted, sooner or later this business will fail."
Murong Qing said: "Those people only think that the rare things in the Gang Qi layer can live there, and they are still complacent. If the master's friend is cultivating the more ordinary Gang Qi, he can just go to my Great Tiangang Sect. There are thirteen in my Great Tiangang Sect. Planting Tiangang True Qi can rank among the top three in Xuanmen, second only to the Chunyang Sword Sect and the Kunxu Sect!"
Qi Ze smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Taoist friend Murong Gaoyi! The matter of practicing Gang is related to everyone's fundamental Taoism. I don't know what kind of Gang Qi my friend cultivates. I don't know how to ask."
Murong Qing suddenly said: "Look at my brain! That's right. Don't be careless when refining the Gang, let alone act hastily. You must make a decision before taking action. What kind of evil spirit is condensed, and what kind of Gang Qi is needed to cooperate. This is destiny There are restrictions, even immortals cannot change it. Is that friend of the master a member of the Five Elements Sect?"
Qi Ze was stunned by this sudden question and could only shake his head and said: "No!"
Murong Qing smiled and said: "That's good! If you are a member of the Five Elements Sect, it's okay if you have mediocre qualifications. If you have good qualifications, you will definitely be sent to condense the Five Directions and Five Elements True Evil. Once you condense the Five Directions and Five Elements True Evil, there will be no one in the world who can cooperate with it. If there is very little Gang Qi, don't you worry about it and bring trouble to yourself!"
Qi Ze asked with a smile: "I have also heard about the Five Elements Sect's Five Directions and Five Elements True Evil Qi, but I don't know what type of Gang Qi should be used to match it?"
Murong Qing scratched his head and said: "I was curious about this and asked my master, but he beat me up, scolded me for being impure, and punished me to face a wall for a hundred days. Later I figured out that it was my master. I don’t know, but when I asked him about it, I became angry and deliberately took revenge!”
Qi Ze laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist master and disciple are really interesting!"
Murong Qing said: "What can my master mean? My uncle is really interesting. He secretly passed on his secret knowledge to others..." Realizing that he had let slip something, he suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "That's all, it's better not to do it. Let’s chat, I’ll accompany Master to have a meal!”
Qi Ze knew clearly that what Murong Qing said was Qin Kuo's teacher, and that he was referring to his private teaching of Da Tiangang Sect Taoism and Yang Tieshou. He wanted to ask Qin Kuo about his current situation, but he didn't want to expose his traces too much, so he had to say: "Okay! "
After the two of them had finished lunch, Qi Ze rose to his seat and preached again. Half a day had passed since this lecture, and the state of teaching the Dharma had reached a good state. Suddenly, the various states of sentient beings and the unruffled mind returned to Zen. In the state of gongjing, the power of meditation has grown deeper, but this time it has not broken through the state again, but has consolidated it and laid a solid foundation.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Qi Ze withdrew from his calm state, stopped and said, "That's it for today, we will continue tomorrow morning!"
Everyone was listening so mesmerized that they were unwilling to leave. They all asked Qi Ze to stop talking.
Qi Zedao: "Everything has a predestined Dharma, and going too far is not enough. What's more, the Dharma is not in the sutras, but in people's hearts. It still needs to be practiced by the body to get all the benefits. Dear believers, you must not miss it if you hear the Dharma. You must know that today is an opportunity to hear the Dharma. It is true. It has been accumulated over many lifetimes, and you must not let go of your good fortune!"
Murong Qing smiled and said: "Yes, the Buddhist teachings are priceless. Even my disciples have gained a lot from listening to the teachings. Everyone, it's getting late today, please go early tomorrow!" He winked at the servants of the Murong family, and all the servants immediately cheered.
Then he went up and invited everyone to go back to their homes.
Qi Ze had a lot of cultivation, but he felt a little tired after entering samadhi to preach the sermon in one day. He said: "If there is nothing wrong with fellow Taoist Murong, I will also go to samadhi to rest. See you tomorrow!"
Murong Qing smiled and said: "That's fine, Master, it's been a hard day, so I'll take my leave for now!" and led everyone to leave.
On the second day, the rooster sang at dawn, and Qi Ze immediately woke up from his meditation. He felt that the power of meditation became more and more profound, and the Buddha's light transformed by the three Buddhist magical powers also became brighter in his brain palace.
Qi Ze stood up, activated his blood vessels, and performed boxing all the way, and then activated the Xuanyin Sword Technique, which shocked the internal organs and tempered the body. After completing the Taoist skills, he automatically activated the power of Xiao Wuxiang Chan Kung Fu.
Cleanse the inside and outside with the true energy of Buddhism. Through such Buddhist and Taoist cultivation, the physical body will be polished and become stronger.
Not long after, all the believers gathered around again, and the number of people was much larger than yesterday. It seemed that in one night, many people came from all over to listen to the scriptures.
Qi Ze did not waste any time, and immediately ascended to the throne to lecture on the sutra. This continued for seven days, and as expected, he lectured on the sutra every day, expounding the most important principles of Buddhism, refraining from doing any evil, and practicing good deeds. When the sun set on the seventh day, a "
Just as the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra was finished, Qi Ze slowly closed his mouth and said: "Dear believers, this Vajra Sutra has been finished. If you have any questions, you can ask questions."
At this time, there were nearly 10,000 devotees sitting around, but Qi Ze used the magical power of Vajra Zen to bless him, and his voice was still sent to everyone's ears word by word, without missing a beat.
After seven days of Buddhist teachings, all the believers' faces were radiant. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to ask questions, but they didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Qi Ze smiled and said: "The Buddha's Dharma arises from the heart and ends from the heart. These seven days of teaching teach the way to understand the mind and see one's nature. All good believers can recite and uphold this sutra every day. It will be helpful!"
Murong Qing waved his hand, and one of his servants brought countless newly printed scriptures and said: "This is the Diamond Sutra scripture. Today we are making good connections. Everyone who comes to listen to the Dharma will receive a copy. In the future,
The fact that this sutra has been spread all over the world is also your contribution!"
At present, the servants of the Murong Mansion distribute sutras on a per-head basis, with each person receiving one copy and not more than one. At this time, books are still extremely precious and cannot be purchased by a small family. Most of the people who come to listen to the sutras are victims of the disaster.
Holding the scripture in hand, the fragrance of ink lingering on the tip of my nose, I felt great joy.
After giving lectures for seven consecutive days, Qi Ze was also a little exhausted mentally and physically. Seeing that everyone was just flipping through the scriptures, he smiled and said: "You can leave on your own after receiving the scriptures. The poor monk is also going!"
Murong Qingdao: "Master, why did you say this? Could it be that there is some Buddhist gatha that is not perfect?"
Qi Ze said: "When fate comes, things come together, and when fate goes, things scatter. There are causes and effects, but you can't just cling to them."
Murong Qing said: "You Buddhists love to pretend to be clever! By the way, my eldest brother invited Master to be a guest at my house tonight. Xue'er has recovered as good as before in the past few days. I must thank Master!"
Qi Ze said: "The Murong family has already repaid me for helping me publish scriptures. Why should I be so polite?"
Murong Qing smiled and said: "It's okay if Master doesn't go. These days, the people in my house have been studying the Diamond Sutra almost to the point of obsession. I just want to ask for your help in person. If you go, the Murong family will only
I'm afraid that if I convert to Buddhism immediately, I will become a big laughing stock in the Tiangang Sect!"
This Murong Qingsheng is pretty, but he is frank and lovely, and speaks without restraint. He is somewhat similar to Qin Kuo, and he is indeed a fellow student. Qi Ze smiled and said: "In this case, I will not go, how can I make my fellow Taoist Embarrassed in front of fellow disciples?"
Murong Qing immediately felt like a confidant, nodded and said: "That's right! That's right!" While he was talking, everyone got the scriptures and slowly dispersed.
Suddenly, a man wearing a Taoist robe and riding the wind came. It was Kugen Lao Taoist. When Murong Qing saw it, he frowned and said, "This guy is not in the palace to treat the princess, so what are you doing here!"
The old Taoist Kugen fell in front of him, looked at the spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "You two Taoists are polite!"
Murong Qing returned the gift and said, "Fellow Kugen is not refining elixirs in Zhenbei Palace, so why are you here?"
The old Taoist Kugen said with a smile: "The five poison poison-reducing elixirs were refined three days ago. However, the King of Zhenbei was afraid that something would go wrong again, so he ordered the old Taoist to invite two fellow Taoists to protect the Dharma. The old Taoist heard that Master Yuan Xin was here to lecture on the Seventh Sutra. I don’t dare to disturb you, I just found you today.”
Murong Qing said: "That's it! King Zhenbei can be considered very patient if he can wait until the sermon is finished in seven days."
Kugen Lao Taoist said: "That's right! This matter has been delayed for several days. I would like to ask two fellow Taoists to spare no effort to help Lao Dao!"
Qi Ze said: "It is our duty to treat illnesses and save people. I wonder what Taoist friend Murong thinks?"
Murong Qing said: "I came back to Youzhou because of my niece's illness. Since the princess is also poisoned, I can't wait to die without saving it. However, there are scandals ahead. Taoist friends have invited me to help. After the incident is completed, what will happen to the King of Zhenbei?" The thank you gift also needs to be shared with me!"
Kugen Lao Tao cursed secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "This is natural! Without further ado, I will leave as soon as possible!"
The three people flew into the city. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. King Zhenbei was walking around in the palace. When he saw the arrival of the three people, he hurriedly said: "The three immortals have arrived together. My beloved concubine can be saved!" These days Zhenbei King The king was worried about the princess, so he worked hard and lost so much money that he was almost unable to speak.
Kugen Lao Taoist said: "It's not too late, let's do it now!" He and the King of Zhenbei entered the inner room, followed the same method, and used the newly refined five-poison poison-reducing pill to seduce the poisonous insects.
Chapter completed!
