Vol 5 Chapter 35: Buddhism

After he became a monk, Luo Feng stayed at Maha Temple and began his Buddhist practice.
No matter whether you have one's ordination or cultivating Buddha, they are not just doing things. With Luo Feng's dedication to work, since he has decided to become a monk, he must be a good practitioner.
Cultivating Buddha is not the same as cultivating immortals. Buddha cultivating has to talk about sincerity and non-self. If the heart is not sincere and the ego is too heavy, even if you are bald on your head, in a Buddhist temple, or wearing a robes, you will not have any diligence. It is better to go home Wearing big pants, guarding the computer, posing Ge Youtan's peace of mind.
In the countless cultivating worlds of the multiverse, Buddhism can generally fight against Taoism. Even in the prehistoric plane where there are many immortals like dogs and Danone, the Western religion has also produced two saints. The level of achievement and strength is definitely not low.
However, the sons of the planes or the sons of destiny rarely choose the path of Buddhism and Taoism, and do not do what he thinks except for cultivating immortals.
This is mainly because there are many rules and difficulties in cultivating Buddhism, and the quality requirements of practitioners are high.
What basic qualities are needed to cultivate immortals?
As long as you are lucky, everything else doesn't matter.
If a person is lucky, he rides a donkey and walks on the road and sees an unowned pot cooking meat on the ground. When he eats it, he finds that he has eaten the ten thousand-year-old meat and cheese collected by others, and he can take the donkey and take it on the spot. Other people's fairy fate has become a fairy together, and there is no reason to go.
Heaven’s morality requirements for immortal cultivators are very low. It’s pretty good to be able to carry the handles of Chen Haonan in Causeway Bay. Although Chen Haonan is the black boss, he never bullies the weak, does not beat women, shows loyalty to friends, and people do not offend me. Prisoners, family and lovers are all very good, even if offended by others, at most kill the culprit.
Many of the sons of the side plane of cultivating immortals are based on the example of the Eastern Star Crow. They usually look like they are dragged. If others despise them, they hate them. They think it is a great humiliation. They often kill the boss who leads them to the beginning. If you want to get it right, all your friends around are good boys, and you still have to talk and count when you come out. If you say kill your whole family, then kill your whole family.
What you want is a carefree person who can cover the sky with one hand. Whoever doesn't let him get away will be incomprehensible in his thoughts, and he will kill the whole family if he is not incomprehensible.
Buddha cultivators are in a lot of trouble. Just being sincere and selfless can screen out most of the children of the plane.
For example, a highly compelling sentence from a cultivator: "Thousands of spells and all kinds of magical powers, I only ask if you can get longevity."
The immortal cultivator spoke out loudly. I was afraid that the Buddhist cultivator would not want to look at him with a caring gaze for the disabled, and persuade him to say: "The benefactor has taken the form. You are the life-saving form of the four forms of sentient beings' wrong attachments. To put it bluntly, it’s just a fear of death, but a sense of pride emerges from what you want.?"
Buddhism talks about "lifespan is impermanent." Even if you are a celestial being born with great blessings, you can experience countless calamities, and in the end you will not escape the five decays of heaven and man, and fall into the six realms of reincarnation.
Even if it is the immortal Da Luo Jinxian, even if he reaches the life level of the same life as the heaven and earth, he can't stand the sudden encounter of a bad boy who shouts at you "Please stay."
Whether it’s a soldier's solution, death or elimination, or reluctance to be on the list of gods, countless changes may happen within 30 years. What is the use of praying for longevity?
Buddhism transcends the realm of life and death and transcends the realm of immortality.
The sincerity of cultivating Buddhism is a logical concept that is very brain-burning. Those who practice Buddhism cannot have personal pursuits. For example, they can do whatever they want to achieve. Once they have personal pursuits, they have obsessions. If you practice obsession, you cannot be diligent.
Immortal cultivators can shout "I want to be at ease", "I want to live forever", "I want to be strong", "I want to transcend the other side", "I want to guard against the sky"... You want this and that, what kind of bicycle do you want?
As everyone knows, in the eyes of Buddhist practitioners, these thoughts are all foolish ego-clinging. Holding these thoughts to practice is a manifestation of obsessiveness. It is no different from ordinary women. The further you practice, the farther away you are from the other shore, you need to invest in caring for the disabled. Look.
It is so troublesome to cultivate Buddha, but Luo Feng must use this as a way to gain strength. In fact, he has also set a goal for himself, at least to obtain the Arahant status of the Dzogchen Dzogchen or the Pichi Buddha of the Dzogchen Dzogchen. Bit.
But to achieve this goal, there can be no ego. The purpose of achieving this goal is definitely not for what you can do, but for saving the common people, eliminating the heavens, transcending the demons, and awakening the world.
The Three Vehicles Buddhism is divided into the Shengwen Vehicle, the Conditioning Vehicle and the Bodhisattva Vehicle. The Shengwen Vehicle is the Hinayana Buddhism, the Conditioning Vehicle is the Middle Vehicle Buddhism, and the Bodhisattva Vehicle is the Mahayana Buddhism.
The Shengwen Vehicle is a practice route that directly listens to the Buddha's teachings and contemplates the Four Noble Truths of Suffering and Extinguishment, which is basically followed by monks.
Karma is a practice route that has not heard of the Buddha's teachings, and is enlightened by observing the twelve karma and other principles alone.
The Bodhisattva vehicle takes the Six Degrees of Compassion and Wisdom as the vehicle to carry all living beings, always crossing the three realms and three vehicles to reach the other side of the supreme bodhi nirvana. It is called the Bodhisattva vehicle as the vehicle crosses the sea.
The Arahant and Pichi Buddha positions are the highest attainments in Hinayana and Middle Vehicle Buddhism, but they are only for liberation, not reaching the other side, and not yet complete.
According to the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, it is believed that all practitioners will eventually become Buddhas. The enlightenment of Pichi Buddha and Arahants is still unclear, so as long as they continue to practice Bodhisattva, they will eventually become enlightened Buddhas.
Luo Feng didn't think so far before he began to practice on the side of Xian Xia. He had just taken the first step in his journey of ten thousand li, and he hadn't been otherworldly yet, so don't think about carrying sentient beings to the other shore.
Besides, it is not yet known whether you will become a demon or a Buddha in the future. It is uncertain whether you will go to the world or the world of bliss. If you make an ambition to become a Buddha early, it is easy to beat yourself in the face.
By attaining the Arahant status, you can contend with the heavenly immortals. In the world of the immortal sword world where the power level is dominated by the earthly immortals, as long as you don't provoke the heavenly gods, you can basically walk sideways in the other five realms.
The Arahant status is the highest status of Theravada, but it is also difficult to obtain. The Arahant, the four wisdoms have been fulfilled, have gone out of the Three Realms, have attained Nirvana, and cannot be learned.
Although Luo Feng started Alaya Consciousness, he only possessed the perfect foundation for Buddha cultivation. He was not already enlightened to attain fruition, and his cultivation progress would be fast, but the Tao fruitfulness of attainment was not high.
Without the accumulation of three lifetimes, if you want to achieve fruit, you have to practice step by step, but it is not a good thing that you can become a Buddha without putting down the sword.
So the question is, as a new and lustful monk, how should he practice?
The first thing a practitioner needs to do is to develop secular bodhichitta, to save the boundless beings for cultivation, and to control his mind with the bodhichitta at any time and anywhere.
After you start your mind, you have to turn back. The goal of turning back is to use the merits you have cultivated. It is to take the merits, wisdom, good deeds, and good knowledge you have cultivated, and you don’t want to enjoy them alone, but return them. 'Fate\'xiang\' share with all beings in the world of Dharma, in order to broaden one's mind, and make the merits have a clear direction without losing.
The greater the bodhicitta sentiment is, the more difficult it is to go back, and the more merits are required. The goal of the bodhicitta sent can be achieved. Even if part of it is achieved, the practice can be diligent.
Bodhicitta is an important starting point for the practice of Buddhism, and dedication is a very important practice in the process of Buddhism.
In addition to inspiring and turning back, practitioners also have to practice the six degrees of bodhisattva. The six degrees of bodhisattva are generosity, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna. Only in this way can one step toward the other shore.
From a broad perspective, this is the way to practice Buddhism. Of course, it is quite complicated to elaborate, so I won’t repeat it.
From this point of view, compared with the cultivation of immortality, Buddhism and Taoism are almost everywhere barriers. The more you practice, the more you are unlovable, but it is not as refreshing as the cultivation of immortals, and it is no wonder that the sons of the planes on the side of the immortal are not willing to enter Buddhism.
But in fact, you don’t have to be too dogmatic in your practice. You can become a Buddha by learning from Tang monk’s stereotyped practice, like a monkey on the west road, and then you can achieve the bodhisattva status of fighting and defeating the Buddha?
As long as you regain the heart ape, restrain your mind, and create great merits for the sentient beings in the world, even a stubborn monkey can cultivate a positive result.
