Chapter 1322: Mahayana suffering

At this moment, tens of thousands of futons were almost full in the square, but with Li Nianyi, Ye Fan and others still got the first few positions.
"See Brother Nianyi!"
As he walked to the front, Buddhist practitioners kept saying hello to Li Nianyi, which seemed extremely respectful.
Li Nianyi was also very patient with them.
After everyone was seated, the scorching sun shone on the white lotus in the center.
"brush……"
A gleam of light slowly rose from the white lotus, as if it were flowering and bearing fruit, gradually turning into a standing old man.
The old man was wearing an ancient robes, half of his arms were exposed, and his skinny and bony, but his expression was full of breath.
"See Fa-De Zen Master!"
Seeing this old man appeared, everyone around him stood up and saluted.
"Sit down!"
Zen Master Fa De was expressionless, and after he said he sat down in the middle of the white lotus.
"Before you listen to the Buddha, you must meditate first, and you must sit in meditation with the old monk for an hour!"
Zen Master Fa De ordered immediately.
"Yes!" everyone below responded, and immediately closed their eyes.
"Sitting meditation?" Ye Fan was a little embarrassed at the moment. Although he practiced Buddhism, the monk Ji only taught him to endure suffering and never taught zazen.
"Ye Fan, don't you know how to participate in Zen?" Lu Yan looked at Ye Fan with a frown, surprised.
Ye Fan smiled helplessly and nodded.
"Participating in Zen is the basic skill of a Buddhist practitioner. There are three realms of concentration, selflessness, and selflessness. Those who have attained meditation will probably not be disturbed by the barrier of realm, and they can give rise to many enlightenments and opportunities that ordinary people do not have!"
On the other side of Ye Fan, it was Li Nianyi who spoke and explained.
"This is the basic practice of Mahayana Buddhism. Why haven't I covered it?"
Ye Fan was a little puzzled.
Since everyone is the Mahayana Dharma, there shouldn't be such a big difference.
"Meeting in Zen has nothing to do with Mahayana and Hinayana. This is a method of enlightenment taught by Master Dharma, which can solve some difficult problems in practice. Even if it is Xuanxiu, you can learn!"
Li Nianyi shook his head. There was not much confusion in his heart that Ye Fan didn't know how to participate in Zen.
"Junior Brother Ye Fan, let's do it, I will teach you how to sit in meditation. You can feel it yourself first!"
Li Nian didn't explain any more, and the next moment he passed a Buddhist language to Ye Fan while sitting in meditation.
Sitting meditation is simple and simple, and difficult to say. The Buddhist words given by Li Nianyi are the meditation mantra in the Buddhist Tao, which can make people feel empty, but the mind is distracted.
Adding a meditation mantra while sitting in meditation is the so-called meditation.
Seeing everyone around him, including Lu Yan, had entered the state of participating in Zen, Ye Fan also sat down symbolically.
Try the method taught by Li Nianyi.
In an instant, the entire square fell silent, and the needle dropped.
Everyone closed their eyes, as if feeling the truth of life.
Time passed quietly, and the time that Zen Master Fade said quickly passed. When everyone opened their eyes, there would be more or less faint light flashing in front of them, as if they knew a little truth, or it was an opportunity to break through.
Ye Fan was originally thinking about trying, but at this moment, his heart trembled suddenly, as if he had a new epiphany about the mystery of Buddhism.
Like the ascetic practices previously mentioned by the monk Ji, this meditation practice is also an excellent way, and it also leads to Mahayana Buddhism.
Although he didn't get any major opportunities, Ye Fan's distracting thoughts had been removed a lot and he became relaxed and happy.
"It's amazing!"
Ye Fan whispered to himself, surprised by the Zen Master Fade's Zen Zen, no wonder Lu Yan and other Confucianists also came here.
One time to participate in Zen, the spiritual improvement is comparable to years of hard practice.
"The old monk talks about the Dharma today and wants to talk about the practice methods of the Mahayana Dharma!"
After completing the Zen meditation, Zen Master Fade directly entered the main topic.
"Mahayana Buddhism!"
Hearing these four words, many disciples below all focused their attention. After all, Mahayana Buddhism has always been relatively rare among Buddhist practitioners, and it is extremely difficult to learn and practice, even in the Yuxu Palace.
"The old monk's meditation can be regarded as a method of cultivating Mahayana. Besides, does anyone know of other methods?"
After an explanation, Zen Master Fa De directly asked everyone.
Today he only talks about Buddhism and Taoism, not Buddhist scriptures, so the focus is on discussion.
"To save hardships, do more good deeds, you can practice Mahayana!"
Immediately a Buddhist disciple stood up and said his thoughts.
"Cultivating the five precepts and ten virtues are the basic qualities of a person who practices Buddhism." Zen Master Fa De added a sentence, which counts as a denial of the person's words.
"The Hinayana, who embraces kindness and the precepts, only seeks self-liberation, while the Mahayana seeks the liberation of sentient beings at the same time as their own liberation, and even sinks deep into for this, and wants to cultivate Mahayana, except for what the predecessors said In addition to meditation, you can also cultivate through suffering!"
A voice sounded abruptly, and it was not far from Zen Master Fa De, almost facing the position of Zen Master Fa De.
The speaker is naturally Ye Fan. As a practitioner of Mahayana Buddhism, he has his own unique insights.
"Suffering? It's too simple to describe it. In Profound Cultivation, those who are strong in body refining experience the sufferings in the world during their cultivation process. Why don't you see them achieve Mahayana!
Most of the people present did not agree with Ye Fan's words. They practiced Buddhism and only wanted to be strong and help the people of the world. How can they practice to experience suffering? This starting point is completely problematic.
"The sufferings I mentioned are a little different from what you think. When a person returns to the original appearance, he can get many things he missed, and at the same time he has the most primitive enlightenment. This is an opportunity to achieve Mahayana Buddhism. ."
Ye Fan said loudly.
"Return to the original appearance? What do you mean?"
Seeing what Ye Fan said was the Dao, a few of those present could not help but believe Ye Fan's words, but they still had questions.
At this moment, even Li Nianyi had already listened attentively.
"It's very simple, seal up your whole body's cultivation level, return to your original appearance, and then look at the world and everything, you will feel different. When you discover the true meaning of life, there will be a transformation." Ye Fan explained lightly. Tao.
"Seal the repair base!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked. In this cruel world where the strong are respected, who would do this? How is this different from suicide.
I don’t go to and whoever goes to hell. This is the Buddhist name, but there is very little pitifulness that can be done.
"Master Fa De, this person is not a disciple of Buddhism, but he knows the method of Mahayana. Is what he said really the essence of Buddhism?"
Everyone present was shocked by Ye Fan's last words, and couldn't help asking for help from Zen Master Fa De at this moment.
Zen Master Fa De has not spoken or added anything since Ye Fan started.
