I add some practice in the real world

Chapter 188 Chapter 187

"To die with obsession and to live with obsession is for all beings."

"Zhu Gu and I are both living in the world, for all living beings, and formed by the accumulation of the five aggregates. Although I have practiced for half my life, I am still contaminated with the world's joys, anger, sorrows and joys, greed, hatred, ignorance, and suffering karma. It is the limitation of us and other sentient beings."

"As for the Dharma that Zhu Gu seeks, in Zhu Gu's own heart, our disciples' Dharma is superficial, and our vision may not be higher than Zhu Gu's. If you want to let go of the obsession in your heart, you must start with your heart. Zhu Gu can recite this book more. He Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra."

"Based on Zhu Gu's practice, reading this sutra often will give you more insight than my disciples." After speaking, the old lama stood up and bowed, took a yellowed sutra from the bookshelf in the wing room and put it on the kang seat. left the room.

Seeing this, Chen Jue didn't open his mouth, but picked up the "Heart Sutra" and looked at the contents inside: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, sees that all five aggregates are empty, and overcomes all hardships... ..."

The five aggregates here refer to the "form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness" of Buddhism. As long as you are an individual, you cannot live without these five aggregates.If the five aggregates are all empty, it means that you have reached the highest state of Buddhist practice, that is, the state of colorless and formless.

Chen Jue first obtained the Daoist golden elixir, then embraced Tai Chi with boxing and martial arts, and finally obtained the Buddhist relics through the bigu mudra of Tantric Buddhism. Bigu purified the body and reached the real "immortality" state of the physical body.

It's just that these practices are all based on the physical body, which can be regarded as combining the strengths of the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, and martial arts. However, Chen Jue's mind is still not firm enough.

That is what Buddhism often says, "Empty has a surface, but no bone." The only thing missing is the follow-up spiritual practice.

You must know that people cannot escape obsession in this world, just like that Zhao Zhen, although he practiced yoga Mahamudra to an extremely advanced level, he still has an unparalleled obsession and enthusiasm for "eternal life".

Another example is the ancient emperors in history. When they were young and strong, they were all high-spirited. When they were old, they began to miss the imperial power and wealth. Empty the front seat, don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods" is a famous saying through the ages.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue stopped in this temple was also a coincidence. He passed by this temple and saw the seven bowls of water on the altar table. Use the Dharma to make up for your lack of spiritual practice.

It's a pity that obsession is not so easy to get rid of, let alone the obsession of an expert who has practiced to the point of Chen Jue.

Reciting the Heart Sutra also plays a temporary role in meditation. The real way to let go of obsessions is, as the old lama said, to take it and realize it by yourself.

……

For the next three days, Chen Jue spent peacefully in this temple.

During the day, I sit cross-legged in front of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, chanting scriptures and practicing exercises, and continue to deepen the practice of Tantric Mahamudra. At night, I read Buddhist scriptures in the wing room.

All the lamas in the monastery respected him very much and did not take the liberty to come up to disturb him. Only the old lama would talk to him once or twice.

Of course, when Chen Jue was practicing the "Om Ah Moo" body purification mantra in the temple these days, these Buddhist disciples were sitting all around him. Under the effect of the Sanskrit sound vibrating and changing the marrow, all the lamas in the temple felt comfortable. Usually, if you sit for a long time, you will feel drowsy, but fellow practitioner Chen Jue is getting more and more energetic, so you are more devout and convinced of the supernatural powers of this living "Zhu Gu".

This kind of situation is just like the Buddha taught thousands of disciples, Confucius taught three thousand disciples, Chongyang Patriarch pioneered Quanzhen Taoism, etc. These sages among human beings in history all attracted the pursuit of disciples because of their high self-cultivation. .

It's a pity that Chen Jue didn't have the idea of ​​preaching and accepting disciples. He stayed in this temple for three full days, and after completing the practice of drinking water and bigu, he embarked on the journey again.

Before leaving, all the lamas and lamas in the temple respectfully sent him all the way out of the gate of the temple. The old lama who sat with Chen Jue for three days took a set of heavy cassocks with velvet and put them on Chen Jue. Bow 90 degrees for him, and offer a hada with both hands raised above the head.

Chen Jue didn't refuse, knowing that the old lama regarded him as a "Zugu", put on his monk's robe, took the white khata with both hands and wrapped it around his neck, said goodbye with all the people, turned around and walked into the snow-covered khata. In the grassland, it slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

Due to the haste when he left home, Chen Jue basically didn't bring any heavy clothes. He happened to get a set of thick cassocks from the old lama to keep him warm.

In December, the Qilian Mountains were already snowing heavily, and the grasslands were covered with snow. As far as Chen Jue could see, it was all white.

Unlike the restricted area of ​​life in Antarctica, the glacial grasslands near Qilian Mountains can still vaguely see human fireworks, and Chen Jue can see a few tents on the grasslands cut by the wind from a long distance, emitting hot steam and cooking smoke.

Those are the places where nearby herdsmen live temporarily. Chen Jue has been to this grassland before and knows the customs here.

Herdsmen like to enclose their pastures with fences and barbed wire. Firstly, it is easy to distinguish their own pastures, and secondly, it is also to prevent captive cattle and sheep from escaping.

In addition, those yaks and sheep will also have some colorful marks on them, so as not to confuse them, so that they can identify which one belongs to their own.

Chen Jue’s roommate, Jiang Fan, also has a large grassland left by his ancestors, which covers several hills. It is often said on the Internet that there are “mines” and “grasslands” at home, but the descendants have stopped grazing and moved to the city. Jiang Fan himself even gave up everything in his hometown and rushed to Hangzhou, thousands of kilometers away.

The parting and giving up in this is not only the comfort of the hometown and the relatives and friends in the old age, but also the abandonment of one's past. There is a lot of determination to be made here. Fortunately, the ending is happy. Chen Jue, a friend in the dormitory Hangcheng reaped the crystallization of his career, love and descendants.

In Chen Jue's view, a small county has the ease and melancholy of a small county, and a big city has the convenience and resources of a big city. Everyone's pursuit is different.

Just like after he stepped into the practice, from the initial confusion and vacillation to the more determined path of his practice, he walked step by step with firm steps.

It's like he is stepping on the ice and snow on this grassland, making a creaking sound, surrounded by the continuous Qilian Mountains, with blue sky and white clouds above his head, occasionally mixed with snow and cold wind.

Although the temperature was cold, Chen Jue felt that he was walking in such an open place, and his heart began to become more and more peaceful.

After walking about dozens of kilometers, the sun was getting higher and higher. When passing by a herdsman's pasture, Chen Jue ventured into the herdsman's tent and communicated with the owner for a while.

He begged for a bowl of hot water to moisten his stomach, took out the cash that had been in his bag for a long time, and asked the other party to buy some beef jerky and milk skin. own mind and will.

As for the mobile phone, it has long been frozen and malfunctioned in this severe cold place, and the power cannot be guaranteed, so it has been shut down all the time.

However, the herdsman's family, especially the dark and thin man with a little felt hat and gentle eyes, saw that Chen Jue was wearing a cassock and a white khata around his neck, so they confiscated his money, and instead gave him a gift with great enthusiasm. In order to eat, he obviously regarded him as an ascetic monk in the temple and wanted to form a good relationship with him.

Most of the herdsmen in the vicinity were devout, and their personalities were honest and simple. They chatted with Chen Jue in very unmarked Mandarin, and then stuffed a lot of dry food and meat into Chen Jue's backpack.

Chen Jue thanked each other with a smile, and when he was about to say goodbye to them, he heard commotion in the cowshed beside the tent.

Everyone searched for the sound and found that a yak covered in brown and black fur was overturning the fence of the cowshed, and collided with several yaks in the cowshed, and the fight was very fierce.

"The messenger of the mountain god!" the host shouted after seeing the wild yak.

According to Tibetan legends, when the first ray of sunshine in the world shines on Gang Rinpoche, there is the first yak.In order to get a foothold on the plateau, their ancestors once asked the mountain god of Daxue Mountain for help, and the mountain god divided the wild yaks into two factions. Some went down the mountain to help the herdsmen to become domesticated yaks, and some stayed on the mountain to maintain the yaks that have been preserved since ancient times. wildness.

After seeing this wild yak, the herdsmen felt a little helpless, because in their eyes, these wild yaks are the messengers of the mountain gods, they cannot be slaughtered easily, and they can only let it run wild in the cowshed.

And those domestic yaks obviously made a small circle in front of the wild yak, and after being knocked over a few times, they all retreated to the corner of the cowshed and shivered.

As for this wild yak, it ate the fodder in the cowshed on its own. After eating, it was not satisfying, and kicked the shelves of the cowshed a few times, damaging several fences. It looked wild and unruly.

Chen Jue saw that the wild yak was bulky and had thick horns. It would be difficult for several adults to subdue it. In addition, the herdsmen respected these wild yaks like mountain gods and did not dare to be rough with it, so he smiled and walked up. In front of him, he squatted down, stretched out his hands, grabbed two cow legs, and carried the wild yak weighing a thousand catties directly onto his shoulders like a burden.

Then, under the horrified eyes of the herdsmen's family, he carried it out of the cowshed, slowly walked out of the pasture, walked more than [-] meters, and placed it steadily on the mountainside outside the pasture.

Surprisingly, the wild yak didn't go mad after meeting Chen Jue. Instead, it showed docile eyes, rubbed its head against Chen Jue, and even licked Chen Jue's palm with its tongue.

You know, Chen Jue is now bigu cleansing his body, and the body odor exuding from his body makes people feel peaceful when they smell it. Naturally, it is also a reason to fall into the breath of this wild yak. ​​It smells like "immortal energy", and naturally wants to get close to Chen Jue .

In addition, Chen Jue has the blessing of [Heaven and Man Harmony], and can live in harmony with natural creatures. Even if the wild yak's fun is interrupted, the other party is still as docile as a domestic puppy, clinging to Chen Jue , just like the tiger I met in the Gongshan Forest back then.

"You have understood your humanity now!"

"Where's that bullish temper just now?" Chen Jue stretched out his hand to pat the wild yak's head, stretched out his hand to stroke the other's fur, and said with a slight smile.

It happened to be going to the Qilian Mountains, so Chen Jue planned to take the wild yak on the road and send it back to the place where it was supposed to live and breed.

As for the herdsmen's family behind them, after seeing Chen Jue dressed in cassock and subduing the wild yak with great power, they all bowed and prostrated, shouting: "Maha Kala!"
