241 chapters, the heart is hell, the world is infinite light

Qiao Jue's eyes were extremely clear and deep. The moment Mei Zhenyi looked at him, his spiritual consciousness seemed to be trapped in an endless abyss of unknowns. The Yang Shen left his body and followed the souls of the yard and entered a strange world, with nothing in this world.

Mei Zhenyi himself has not changed. The Yang Shen is the spiritual consciousness that transcends the furnace and cauldron. It is not only abstract, but also transcends the consciousness of existence. It can be virtual or real, which is equivalent to obtaining great freedom of the body and mind. All kinds of supernatural powers are sufficient, and the supernatural powers can be seen by ordinary people. "The Yang Shen is the earth immortal" is not a lie.

Of course Mei Zhenyi could see everything, but there was nothing around her, and there was endless darkness, and nothing was for him to see. He could hear anything, but there was no sound, completely quiet. He didn't know where he was. At first, he felt a sense of falling downwards, and in a trance, he seemed to be floating upwards.

Where is this? If nothing exists, you will have the illusion that you don’t even exist, as if all consciousness and senses are about to dissipate.

Is this the boundless mysterious world? Mei Zhenyi once "sees" Qingfeng in his entry view for a short time and goes into the boundless mysterious world, but that was not his own personal experience. He felt that it was a bit similar and different, but as for the difference, he couldn't say it.

If a person is "dead", will he disappear from the world, or will the original world disappear from him?

If a person disappears from the world and never returns, then for that world, is he equivalent to "death"?

This is the definition of death discussed by philosophers. When Mei Zhenyi entered this world, she naturally thought of this problem. When her mind and thoughts came, her facial features immediately saw something. What she saw was not around, but various thoughts aroused by Ling Taichung. In this life, all the experiences before traveling through time flashed one by one - the light realm of the bardo!

This moment is a lifetime. When the state of light and light appeared, Mei Zhenyi shouted loudly and destroyed the "state of light and light" in Lingtaizhong. He had already practiced through the sea of ​​suffering in the midst of the Abyss. Of course, he could not be disturbed by the state of light and light and did not want to be spyed by the state of light and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

After drinking through the light realm of the middle heaven and returning to the world of silence, Mei Zhenyi shouted again "Ban!" and appeared in the void. The white soul refining banner appeared in his hand and shook. His spiritual consciousness spread, and white light burst out everywhere, trying to illuminate the boundless darkness.

At this time, Qiao Jue's voice was heard in his spiritual consciousness: "What is the Bodhisattva's practice?"

With this question, the world changed. Mei Zhenyi suddenly realized that she had become Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting on the altar. She had not transformed into countless temples for a while and had been overwhelmed by what she saw in front of her.

In the courtyard of Jiulin Zen Temple, Mingyue frowned and said, "Bodhisattva, are you blocking his way?"

Ksitigarbha: "In this place, don't call me Bodhisattva, just call me Qiao Jue."

Mingyue: "Okay, Monk Qiao Jue. With your fruit position and his cultivation, if you don't stop the earth, if you argue with you after he comes back, you can only talk to him with peace of mind."

Qiao Jue smiled: "Plum donor and Qiao Jue Monk, of course, have something to say."

Mingyue shook her head and said seriously: "You are wrong. He is just looking for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to argue, just like when he made a covenant in Pengze. But you are not doing anything traitorous, but what you say is determined is determined... Do you know what Pengze’s opening? Let me tell you."

Mei Zhenyi sat inexplicably on the throne of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. She heard the sound of praises of the merits of all people. She was a little lost in an instant, and then she heard the prayers and prayers of countless people.

The first thing he felt was a deep fear. It was rumored in the world that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was the leader of the Netherworld Sect. Many people were afraid of the things behind him, and they worshipped them in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, trying to eliminate sins or seek blessings from their descendants.

There are also many people who like to worship Bodhisattvas randomly, go to Ksitigarbha seat to seek wealth, sex, fame, children, and development. Things have been different throughout the ages, but the desires are similar. For example, later generations pray for Bodhisattvas to bless the college entrance examination smoothly, and the Tang people pray for the Ming Sutra to pass the imperial examination.

Some people vent their grievances in front of the Bodhisattva. Someone has done too many bad things. Please ask the Bodhisattva to take him to hell! Why is someone not dead? The neighbor has money and power to build a tall building, and the Bodhisattva will punish his family for fire! Someone borrowed my money and refused to repay it. Ask the Bodhisattva to curse him.

All these desires are lingering, and the mind cannot be calm. If there are good thoughts and evil thoughts, it is more common to think of cause and effect, such as a man admires a certain woman, but a woman's heart is to others, so a man prays for the Bodhisattva to fulfill it. How can such a thing be accomplished? What should the Bodhisattva do when praying for sentient beings? No great magic power in the world can satisfy it.

Mei Zhenyi heard that it was not praying one by one in turn, but that there were all kinds of thoughts, reflecting the ecology of the world. He calmed down and understood that Ksitigarbha’s meaning was not to ask him to solve these desires, but to answer the question just now in this situation - what is the practice of Bodhisattvas?

Mei Zhenyi’s first thought was the Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita, because the opening of the Heart Sutra is “Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when he practices the deep Prajna Paramita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty and overcomes all sufferings.”

However, his answer in his divine thoughts was: "My teacher, Sun Zhenren, teaches great doctors to be sincere and sincere, to help the world with the suffering of illnesses, to cure diseases if they are sick, and to maintain health without illnesses to end their lives."

The Yang God transcends the furnace and cauldron, and lives outside the body, the mouth is the heart, and what he says is the real perception, without any mysterious lies. After answering this honestly, what he sees in front of him has undergone subtle changes.

It is still the unity of all thoughts, but not in front of the Bodhisattva's seat, but the various thoughts of sentient beings in the world seen by the Dharma eye, which are in line with the lineage that they just sought, accompanied by various criticisms and resentments. First of all, there are various curses - so many bad people in the world are rampant, why don't Bodhisattvas let them go to hell?

There are also people who secretly stimulate their hearts - I should clear all obstacles, and this world should be for me. But I can't see where the obstacles he wants to clear is, and I have become an obstacle to clear in other people's desires.

There are more people expressing disappointment and dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the surroundings, dissatisfaction with the country, dissatisfaction with ancestors, dissatisfaction with gods and Buddhas. - Why am I here today? Can't I stand in the world and be proud? Why am I born in such a world?

All these desires are intertwined and presented at the Lingtai where it is difficult to comment. It is the entanglement, restriction, and conflict of the world that drives the progress of world history and creates various "products" and "karma". However, Mei Zhenyi understands that Ksitigarbha does not want him to explain the desire achievements of sentient beings in this world, or answer the question in this situation - what is the Bodhisattva's practice?

"As far as one person is concerned, one thought becomes one, and it will be clear." Mei Zhenyi replied.

This is equivalent to opening the mouth to break the Dharma. It jumps out of the interweaving and entangled desires just now. What you see in front of you is different, and it becomes the various "actions" of sentient beings that you have seen just now. Some are worthy of praise, some are worthy of regret, some are laughable, and some are hateful. The sentient beings in the world are united, and they are thousands of people. And a person's journey can also show that many people are multifaceted.

Mei Zhenyi didn't look more and replied directly: "Where are sentient beings in the world, wherever they go, where they come from, so what they reincarnate and change are the same. Where do compassion come from, and where does the underworld come from."

After answering in three sentences, everything returned to silence, Mei Zhenyi disappeared from the throne of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. She returned to the boundless and endless nothingness.

Mei Zhenyi shook the soul refining banner again, and this time she used the method of collecting the collection. The boundless dark world around her seemed to be constantly surging with him as the center, disappearing invisible in the light. Since the boundless darkness cannot be broken, then the surrounding void is absorbed into the soul refining banner. There are always visible things in this dark world.

As soon as the spell was unfolded, Qiao Jue's voice was heard in his divine mind and asked, "What is infinite light?"

Is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva too bullying? It is not enough to ask "Bodhisattva's Practice" on the Bodhisattva's seat, and then ask "Immortal Light" in this boundless world! However, this time, it was not a question. Instead, it was a self-question. Then Mei Zhenyi heard the sound of singing verses from all directions.

"The infinite light shines all the worlds in all directions, the light of the self-nature of the worlds in all directions, the worlds in all directions are in my light, and there is no one in all directions is me."

As the verse was singing, the plum blossoms suddenly became touched. The thoughts arise and the state of "view of sentient beings", and the light of one's own nature illuminated the underworld.

What is visible in the underworld? It is the underworld realm after the "death" of sentient beings seen on the throne just now. What is the difference between the "Netherland" and the "Netherland" that reviews the life of Qingming? In fact, it covers everything in the Bardo Light Realm. However, there are many other feelings, which make people feel more clearly.

How to describe it? Mei Zhenyi's first reaction is very similar to Tianxing, but it is completely different from Tianxing. The things I experienced in my life. The traces of the earth left by the interactions with spiritual beings in the world were all returned.

What is "return"? For example, Zhang San once framed Li Si. He would feel the pain of Li Si being framed. While witnessing this incident again in his life's memories, whether Li Si himself knew it or not.

Why is it different from Tianxing? Because these people are already "dead", and their physical body and cauldron disappear, only a wisp of spiritual consciousness enters the underworld, and they are in an absolutely awake state, and they will neither fall into a coma nor avoid it. When cutting ribs with a knife, the pig will not hurt, because the pig is already dead. In fact, everything a person has suffered physically is only meaningful only when it is transformed into perception of the mind.

In the underworld, it is pure spiritual perception, reflecting all the traces left by this life, and at the same time, in the light state of the bardo, the feelings brought to others by life are reflected in the experiences of the life, empathizing with each other, intertwining, superimposing, and shaking.

Mei Zhenyi suddenly thought of a comment: "The underworld does not deceive the heart, and the human heart will be hell."

I thought of the word "hell" in my mind. With this thought, the state of concentration in the view of sentient beings becomes deeper, as if they have entered another deeper realm of insight. "Other mind is enlightened" is naturally all involuntarily activated. No one in the viewing realm is me, and the mentality of the sentient beings in front of me is like their own feelings.

There are all kinds of joy, anger, sourness, and endless fear and tremor. Whether it is wealth or poor or humble during his lifetime, strong or weak, at this time, it is a spiritual sense that cannot escape, and everyone has some gratitude in their hearts.

Mei Zhenyi also felt something. As soon as this thought came to a deeper level, she entered the realm of the gratitude of everyone, and saw the "reincarnation mind" that sentient beings experienced in the underworld and thus gave birth to this.

What is the mind of reincarnation? It is hard to describe the mystery. For example, while experiencing the underworld, all living beings will involuntarily develop a thought - I have already understood everything in this life, including all the true words and deeds of all the people who deal with me. What would happen if I started from scratch?

Some people are thinking about how to kill their enemies. Some people are thinking about how to seduce the little lady next door, some people are thinking about how to make a fortune in business, and some people are thinking about going to the battlefield as a general and using a surprise soldier to win a complete victory, just like a novel of time traveling through time, with all kinds of strange and stunning shapes. It looks very pleasant, but it is naturally produced with memories and feelings in the Netherworld, and the refraction is another kind of "repentance".

The pure spiritual perception in the underworld has nowhere to hide, and the mind of reincarnation comes with it. The mind of regret comes with it, and the spiritual consciousness is involved like a tide. The state of Mei Zhenyi's land has reached a higher level, and what you see changes.

The "repentance" in the underworld does not refer to the regret that someone has had in his life, and has nothing to do with not regretting after his life. It is a reflection of his lifelong achievements in the underworld, and clearly feels that others have suffered because of me, and naturally leads to the mind of reincarnation. It is also clearly reflected in the "repentance" that is clearly reflected.

It is not based on your wishes and will. It is not that you can not think if you say "I don't want", but it is directly imprinted in your mind. It is a layer-by-layer analysis of the state of mind, clear and nowhere to hide. "四" means "deep", and "四" means "darkness".

The above statement seems to be an understatement. But if you put yourself in your shoes, these layers of underworld are really "terrifying"!

Mei Zhenyi began to think about the meaning of this underworld world? This thought came to a deeper situation. The underworld world was analyzed and displayed layer by layer, and it was hard to describe it. Mei Zhenyi also understood where the folk legend "Eighteen-level hell" came from?

What do you think of entering the deepest part? It is like the flow of Ming Chongyan. The life of the soul captured in life, the life of the soul captured in the darkness is like suffering from the soul captured in the darkness, which comes one after another. The merits received in life are very small or close to nothing, and the suffering is the importance of the mind that cannot be liberated, and thus fall into the deepest part of the darkness.

Mei Zhenyi remembered a word - "Infernal Affairs", or Avici Hell. How does "Yi Shi" and "Wujian" correspond? In the world, it is a life in the light realm of the bardo, or it may be a near-start and end in the underworld.

It turns out that nothing has changed in this underworld world. What sentient beings still experience is the "barium light realm" at the end of a lifetime. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not add anything out of thin air, but just analyzed it into the underworld realm layer by layer in the transformation of the spiritual platform. All sentient beings imprinted this unforgettable memory into the Alaya consciousness and then entered into the samsara.

This is the fate of the previous life. Although it cannot be seen or described, it has its own mystery.

Mei Zhenyi's method of observing the situation was clear, and she left the state of concentration layer by layer and returned to the underworld that the "mind of reincarnation" saw. She shook the banner and shouted: "Take it around!"

"Mr. Mei. Is it you?" A woman's voice came, and she slid as the sound lifted like a gust of cold wind, being taken in front of Mei Zhenyi.

Thank God. This little ghost has indeed experienced the sea of ​​suffering in the underworld and achieved the immortal consciousness, but has not yet been entrusted to leave. Otherwise, the state of light in the middle of the earth will only be in a moment in the world, and no matter how powerful Mei Zhenyi is, she will not be able to bring her back.

Mei Zhenyi waved the soul refining banner to protect Ti, and her body disappeared from the underworld together.

Qiao Jue's face turned solemn, with admiration in his eyes and a hint of undetectable sigh. At this time, two horse neighing sounds came from outside the gate of Jiulin Zen Temple, and the sound of a carriage leaving.

"Who is leaving?" Qiao Jue asked.

"Lu Chunyang took Ti away." Mingyue replied.

Qiao Jue asked again: "Where is Mei Zhenyi?"

"I'm back, right here! I'm going to and from the underworld, sighing at the great fortune of the Bodhisattva, but I still have something to ask for advice." The person who answered was standing in the courtyard of the courtyard.

On the ten-mile peach blossom road outside Jingting Mountain, there is an luxurious carriage moving forward slowly. What is strange is that there are no drivers in this car, but two horses pulling the car themselves, as if there are invisible guidance.

Wow! Is there any unmanned driving in the Tang Dynasty?

Two people sat in the carriage. Mei Zhenyi was wearing a Taoist robe, and her hairpin was a golden four-inch sword. Ti Liuzhuo stretched out his hand tightly in his arms, looking as if he was afraid that the person would disappear when he let go. Mei Zhenyi was surrounded by a gentle wind, and she heard Ti Liuzhuo say with a trembling hair almost sobbing voice: "Mr. Mei, you will actually go to the underworld hell to look for me."

Mei Zhenyi: "Isn't this what you expected? You have been waiting for me to come, otherwise why didn't you leave?"

Ti Liuliu: "I'm waiting, but when I see Mr. Mei, I really want to cry!"

Mei Zhenyi smiled and said, "I don't have any real tears to cry at this moment. You should laugh. Congratulations on your success in the sea of ​​suffering and becoming an immortal in the earth. After returning to the mountain, I will use the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill to help you condense your true body furnace and cauldron."

Ti Liu smiled, she smiled and looked up at Mei Zhenyi, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Mei, I found that you have some changes, but I can't describe any difference."

Mei Zhenyi: "I am still me, but what you see in front of you is the incarnation of Lu Chunyang that I have just cultivated, and the Taoist Master Lu who you see in the false realm."

"Why are you still mentioning my false realm?" Ti Liu turned his face and said, "I'd better call you Mr. Mei, why do you want to separate the incarnation and return to the mountain with me?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I still have something to argue with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the fairy boy Mingyue was here to witness it."

What is the "incarnation" that is cultivated in the realm of "extremely transformed"? This is not the same as the various incarnations that the Bodhisattva and the Golden Immortal cut out. Strictly speaking, it should be called "the transformation clone of the Yang God", but practitioners are generally called the incarnation, so people who understand the earth will naturally not be confused.

This level of cultivation is very important, especially for alchemy practitioners, it is a barrier that must be broken when reaching the end of worldly Dharma.
