My Weird Life

 In the third floor of the pagoda, there was only a fat old monk sitting in the lotus position.

The old monk's figure was trembling in the bright light all around, as if it were real or illusory. When he saw Su Wu walking down the third floor of the tower, he raised his drooped eyelids and looked at the flower above Su Wu's head. A piece of lotus petal said: "Stay here, practice my 'Dharma Explanation', observe the 'Dharma Appearance', and be born without form, reach the seventeenth level, and obtain the fruit of Bodhisattva."

Hearing what the fat monk said, Su Wu smiled and asked him, "Where among the seventeen places is the monk now?"

 “I heard about the place.” The fat old monk put his hands together and replied.

The so-called 'Seventeen Grounds' are the seventeen realms of Buddhism mentioned in the "Yogi Ground", and the 'Place of Hearing and Accomplishment' ranks tenth. The highest realm corresponds to the Buddha's 'Place of No Remaining Relief'. ', below which there are the sixteenth ground 'the ground of remaining refuge' and the fifteenth ground 'the ground of Bodhisattva'.

If divided according to the realms of these seventeen realms, Jinglian's Buddhist practice has already reached the fourteenth realm, the "Place of Solitary Enlightenment", where he has "emptied all his karma" and "cut off his thoughts and ideas".

 This is the realm of the "Buddha on Earth" and the "Arhat in the Body", so Jinglian is revered as the "Master transformed by Jinglian".

“Where am I now?” Su Wu approached the monk and asked him condescendingly.

The slightly fat old monk raised his head to look at Su Wu's face, but he only saw a blur of light. In the light that was always separated from his eyes by a layer of light, a round red sun suddenly appeared -

The old monk lowered his head, and his body suddenly turned into light and dust, and the Sanskrit secrets of the 'Yin Ming Theory' and 'Dharma Appearance Method' flowed towards the lotus with only one petal on the top of Su Wu's head. That lotus was here. Under the infusion of many Sanskrit essences, a second lotus blossomed immediately!

In the long light and dust, the voice of the old monk rang out: "Your Majesty, this is the thirteenth stage. When you reach the 'Sravaka Ground', you will first see the 'Four Noble Truths' and enter the 'Holy Path of Dharma'..."

 The light and dust dissipated silently.

 In the dark corner, there are steps one by one.

Su Wu walked up from the first floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As he approached the fourth floor, the feeling that he was not going to the top of the tower, but going down to the bottom of the tower became more and more intense. As he stepped onto the fourth floor, As we walked up the stairs to the pagoda, the dark interior of the pagoda was suddenly illuminated by sparkling light—

 Looking around, are there any traces of buildings with adobe walls?

 Where is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?

The stalactite and chalcedony hung above his head, protruding from the sharp corners. The dark mountain rocks shone like veins of golden light under the light of the water, and the sparkling water light came from beside him - right there. There is an underground river flowing forward slowly and slowly.

There were no light sources around, and the river water was already glowing with auras.

In this underground river, the ‘wisdom light’ shines and the ‘dharma nature’ flows, like a long river of dharma nature flowing out from the soul of a monk who has realized emptiness!

Approaching the long river of Dharma nature, Su Wu’s head sprouted the light of two lotus flowers, which swayed and trembled, as if they were about to drift away with the water!

"Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position…

As I go down this Dharma River, I actually go further and further to the bottom of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda..." Su Wu shook his head, his brows and eyes quietly opened, and the light on the lotus platform above his head stopped shaking.

He turned around and looked behind him, towards the source of the Dharma River - he saw that there in the perfect Buddha's light, the ten-story wild goose pagoda stood in the Buddha's light. The walls of the pagoda were as clear as crystal. The scene inside the ten-story pagoda was all in sight. In his eyes, there was a Brahma monk walking up to the ninth floor from the eighth floor of the pagoda. The Brahma monk also had a lotus platform on his head, and seven lotus petals had grown around the lotus platform.

Su Wu suddenly saw the seven-petal lotus platform above the head of the Brahma monk who was going up. The two-petal lotus platform above his own head suddenly turned black, as if corroborating with the white jade lotus platform above the head of the Brahma monk, one black and one white. One is the 'Buddha's truth' and the other is the 'Buddha's enemy'.

That Brahma monk should be the proud disciple of Vajra Wisdom, Fu Kong.

Just looking at the scene in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you can also know that the current achievements of 'Bu Kong' have far surpassed that of 'Vajra Zhi', and the youth is better than the blue. It is no wonder that Vajra Zhi regarded Bu Kong as his most favored disciple when he paid a visit to the saint in the palace. , all want to take this proud disciple with them.

Su Wu thought about this for a while, but instead of going up the river and returning to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he went directly down the river and went all the way to the lower reaches of the Faxing River.

He walked down the Faxing River for a while, and saw a blazing fire at a bend in the river. A monk as skinny as a skeleton was sitting cross-legged in the fire, bathing his whole body in the fire, his eyebrows and beard It was still covered with frost.

The skinny monk rubbed his body with both hands and kept chanting: "It's so cold, it's so cold, it's so cold..."

Su Wu walked straight over and looked at the flames under the monk's seat. His thoughts changed, and from the two black lotuses above his head, a skeleton statue wrapped in a red ribbon suddenly flew out!

The father of the corpse forest swings his arms, and he grabs the skinny monk entrenched in the fire, holding him tightly in his arms. The cold and desolate death energy flows along the eye sockets, nostrils, ear holes, and Between the mouth and the mouth, a billowing stream poured into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the skinny monk!

The skinny monk suddenly stopped shivering and began to tear his clothes again, shouting wildly: "Hot! Hot! Hot!"

“Cold is hot and hot is cold.

Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and actions. " Su Wu glanced at the skinny monk who was screaming and struggling. He felt that he had too much to do. After praying a few verses, he scolded him, "Cold, cold, hot, it's just an illusory touch in the world of color!

 You are nothing but an illusion!

　　Perish! "

Buzz!

The strange rhyme of billowing deathly silence filled the skinny monk's body. When Su Wu finished speaking, the skinny monk was immediately killed by the arms of the master of the corpse forest. He was directly destroyed in the arms of the master of the corpse forest and turned into Sanskrit characters. , competing to flow towards the head of Su Wu's head, forming the third black lotus petal!

 Afterwards, Su Wu continued walking down the river.

Before he had gone far, he encountered a monk who was boiling a pot of water but called the water dragon meat soup, a blind monk, and a dead monk...

Su Wu used various protectors and deities to extinguish the monks one by one. Then, as he walked further down, he met the golden-armored Yakshas, ​​the four celestial kings in wrathful appearances, and various Buddhist protectors, Jialan. He destroyed all the Dharma protectors one by one and approached the end of the Dharma River.

Two pitch-black small doors stood at the end of the Dharma River. If Su Wu wanted to open the two small doors, he had to step into the Dharma River that shone with brilliant wisdom.

He stopped on the shore and observed the two small black doors embedded in the mountain wall. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that the shapes of the two doors were exactly the same as the abbot's Zen room where Vajra Zhi lived. Even the mottled paint marks on the doors, The marks left by the years are exactly the same as the two doors of the abbot's Zen room.

“If you open this door, maybe you can see Xuanzang?”

Su Wu thought like this and finally stepped into the river of Dharma.

The quietly flowing river seemed to be higher than his head for a moment, constantly scouring the nine-petal lotus above his head, but the nine-petal lotus seemed to be made of black ink, allowing the shining river of dharma to wash away, It is difficult to wash away the extremely dense black on it.

 The long river has been washed away for a long time without any effect.

 Sighs of regret resounded from the river.

Su Wu turned around and looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at the source of the Yangtze River. He saw that 'Bu Kong' had also walked up to the tenth floor of the tower. The tenth floor of the tower was already the top of the tower, but Fu Kong found a series of paths in the tenth floor of the tower. He stepped onto the stairs of the void, and in an instant, a long river of dharma flowed toward him.

 At the moment of receiving the empowerment from the long river of Dharma nature, Bu Kong seemed to feel something. He put his head on the nine-petal white jade lotus platform and looked towards Su Wu there.

 He saw nothing.

Su Wu pushed open the two dark wooden doors and walked in—

 In the abbot's Zen room, the candle flames swayed in the wind, became weaker and were about to be extinguished.      Describes a haggard old monk lying on a narrow wooden bed, with sunken eye sockets and high cheekbones, looking completely ill.

 But he would open his eyes from time to time, and the wisdom in his eyes was still clear, like a long river reflecting starlight.

At this time, Su Wu stood in the corner of the room, observing Xuanzang on the bed.

Before he could say anything, there was a sound of footsteps outside the meditation room.

 A slightly fat monk opened the door and walked in.

 That monk's face was consistent with the one Su Wu had seen in the third-story pagoda - both were actually photos of the same person.

 The fat monk stood in front of the old monk's bed, looked at the monk on the bed, looked solemn, and asked aloud: "Has the monk decided to be born in the inner circle of Maitreya?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Xuanzang on the bed moved his lips and weakly responded to the fat monk.

 The fat monk lowered his eyes and said nothing.

 ‘Maitreya inner congregation’ refers to the monks who practice in the inner courtyard of Maitreya.

The meaning of the fat monk's question at the moment is: "Great monk, have you decided to be reborn in the 'Maitreya Inner Courtyard' and practice with the 'Maitreya Bodhisattva'?"

 ‘Maitreya’ is the future Buddha.

 At the time of the "Three Meetings of Longhua", Maitreya Bodhisattva was reborn as a Buddha.

 And the monks who follow him to practice in the "Tusita Inner Courtyard" will all obtain Buddhahood and become Buddhas.

The fat monk's question now also has another meaning, that is, he asked Xuanzang on the bed whether he had sensed the existence of the "Maitreya Inner Courtyard" when his body was in Nirvana, and whether he could be reborn in the Maitreya Inner Courtyard. , and Xuanzang’s answer undoubtedly made the fat monk extremely happy.

After the two monks exchanged words, all the sounds and colors disappeared before Su Wu's eyes.

The fat monk who was originally standing next to the bed sat in a cave surrounded by colorful stalactites and asked Su Wu: "Has the monk decided to give birth to Maitreya? "

His words fell to the ground, but there was no need for Su Wu to respond. His figure turned into light and dust and disappeared in an instant.

 The colorful stalactites all around suddenly glowed with melting light!

Under the light of wisdom, the entire world of sound and color is losing all sound and color. The clouds are misty all around, the white light is dim, and there is endless silence. In the blink of an eye, people are noisy again, and Sanskrit singing is endless!

when-

 Falling with a bell!

Su Wu suddenly found himself in a Buddhist cave where countless Arhats and monks were standing, sitting or lying. The statues of monks and Arhats all turned to face him and looked at him quietly.

However, surrounded by various statues, there is a harmonious Buddha light that circulates over and over again.

 In the Buddha's light, the hazy shapes gradually transformed into human bodies.

 Maitreya, with a charming female appearance and a gray monk's robe, appeared in the Buddha's light and looked at the two people in the Buddhist cave - Su Wu and Bu Kong with a smile!

 The two people have Dharma nature on their heads. One is a nine-petal white jade lotus, and the other is a nine-petal black jade lotus.

 The difference between black and white is clear!

The Brahma monk Bu Kong, who had black skin and curly hair, instantly walked into the Buddhist cave where stalactites, chalcedony, and statues of Arhat monks and Buddhas were listed. In the light of the Buddha surrounded by monks and Arhats, the female form of Maitreya loomed. , his mind was already trembling.

At this time, he felt eyes on him from the side, and when he turned his head, he saw Su Wu, who was tall and had a nine-petal black jade lotus on his head.

Fu Kong suddenly saw a person appearing next to him, and he also saw a nine-petal lotus rotating on top of that person's head. He felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart and was stunned.

Su Wu had seen Bu Kong walking into the eighth floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda before, and he had already expected that he could reach the top of the tower. The emptiness of this Brahma monk's self-nature was faint, although it was not as good as He was able to "dwell in space" for a short period of time, but he has already found the path to realize emptiness. After studying hard and practicing hard, he should have the opportunity to realize emptiness within a hundred years.

 If it is divided according to the realm of the seventeen realms, the monk Bu Kong should be in the eleventh realm of "thinking of the place". This place has officially broken away from the "Three Vehicles Realm" and started to travel to the next six realms.

“The monk came from the Brahma land?

But the one whose Dharma name is "not empty"? "The Buddha's light surrounded by the statues of Arhats and monks in front was silent for the moment. Su Wu took this opportunity to say hello to the Brahma monk.

 But the monk Fu Kong heard what Su Wu said, but turned back and did not respond to Su Wu.

He even took a few steps to the side, as if to get away from the young man with the nine-petal black jade lotus on his head.

Su Wu didn't take it seriously when he saw it.

The long eyelashes of the female Maitreya in the Buddha's light trembled slightly, and the whole Maitreya female suddenly came to life. She stretched out her hand to guide Su Wu and Monk Bu Kong who were standing in the Buddhist cave. Tan opened his mouth lightly: "Would you like to register your name in the 'Maitreya Inner Courtyard'?

 After the Three Sessions of Longhua, I will become the future Buddha.

 You all have achieved Buddhahood. "

Su Wu observed the "Maitreya female form" with a solemn manner, but suddenly she had the delicate and lovely appearance of a girl, the charming and graceful posture of a beautiful woman, and the kindness and generosity of an old man. He also glanced at the statues of Arhat monks around him. , I was sure in my heart that this Buddhist cave really existed.

This Buddhist cave is hidden deep in the ground beneath the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Su Wu was not sure whether the Buddha's light surrounded by the statues of Arhat monks and the female Maitreya in the Buddha's light were real.

There are many secrets hidden in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. During his trip to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he failed to find out the truth. Instead, he fell into more secrets.

Are you now complying with the Maitreya female phase’s invitation to register your name in the so-called ‘Maitreya Inner Courtyard’?

 Or do the opposite?

The so-called "Three Sessions of Longhua" refers to the fact that hundreds of millions of years after the death of the Buddha, Maitreya Bodhisattva was reborn in the world of Tushita and attained "Supreme Enlightenment" under the Longhua tree. During the meeting, the upper, middle and lower faculties are distinguished and each has its own way.

Su Wu met Maitreya’s gentle and gentle gaze, and he already had the answer in his heart.

 He shook his head and said: "I have no intention of becoming a Buddha, and I don't want to be named in the inner courtyard of Maitreya."

The monk Fukong next to him became more and more excited when he heard Maitreya Maitreya's invitation. However, he never thought that after Maitreya Maitreya's words fell, the young man next to him with the black lotus on his head and the appearance of 'Buddha's Enemy' actually directly Rejected Maitreya's invitation!

Monk Fu Kong was surprised and turned to look at Su Wu.

Su Wu also smiled at him.

Fu Kong quickly turned his head away, fearing that his nature would be polluted by the 'enemies of Buddha'.
