I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

The flames of the alchemy furnace gradually stopped.

Zhang Daoling sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, while Nong Yu knelt beside him and applied ointment to him.

There were burns all over his body. He was gray and embarrassed, but his face remained calm.

He looked at the ointment that Nong Yu applied to himself. It was a blue gelatinous substance that was very refreshing when applied to the wound. The unbearable itching feeling soon eased.

"What is this?" he asked.

"The scald and burn ointment prepared by the alchemy room." Nong Yu lowered her eyes and said, "It is prepared for some new students who are not familiar with alchemy. It uses the mucus of a special kind of slug."

Hearing this, Zhang Daoling smiled bitterly, "Are you laughing at me?"

Nong Yu tilted her head in confusion.

Seeing her innocent and innocent expression, Zhang Daoling smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

He looked at the alchemy furnace and murmured in a low voice, "It is indeed a good furnace, the legendary fire of the sun, the fire of the sun, I never thought in my life that I would see this kind of flame that only existed in ancient times.

This kind of fire would be a waste of resources if used to refine elixirs, so it should be used to refine weapons. Essences such as gold essence and copper from Shoushan can be melted quickly. "

"There is a furnace with the same technology in the refining room." Nong Yu said, "To be precise, the nuclear fusion device is used by both furnaces at the same time."

Zhang Daoling nodded, "Indeed, how could Master not think of it."

He looked at Nong Yu, "Are there any lower-grade stoves here?"

Nong Yu thought for a moment, "It would be more suitable for you to have an alchemy furnace with hydrogen and oxygen combustion."

"Take me and take a look." Zhang Daoling struggled hard to get up from the ground and walked out of the room with Nong Yu.

After dealing with Taoism, we have to think about candidates for teaching Buddhism.

Beichen is the overlord of Asia. The academy established on Beichen's land should also integrate different Asian cultures.

The future of mankind will eventually lead to a community with a shared future for mankind, and when this future is realized, one civilization will inevitably become the dominant one.

Chara is more inclined to the country at his feet.

Just as if you want to gain respect, you must respect others.

If you want your own civilization to spread, you must accept foreign civilization.

But a truly powerful civilization will never be assimilated by foreign civilizations.

They will use their own wisdom to retain their own fundamental things while using their own strong tolerance to assimilate all outsiders.

This is also the reason why Xia wanted to create the Academy.

Buddhism was the first outsider to be assimilated by the Chinese civilization.

As a sect with a huge influence in Asia, it is natural to become a member of the academy.

The biggest problem in Buddhism at present is that there is no fundamental Dharma like the Bible, resulting in many sects, each with its own understanding of Buddhism.

Among all Buddhisms, the most Chinese Buddhism is probably Zen. It is the approach closest to Taoism, and its temperament is also very different from other Buddhist sects.

Zen Buddhism pays attention to sudden enlightenment and direct access to the original mind. However, sudden enlightenment is not a state that everyone can enter. It is considered to have the highest threshold.

The Pure Land Sect, which is currently the most widely spread in China, has a very low threshold. It generally focuses on reciting scriptures, worshiping and repenting, and reciting the names or mantras of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. That is to say, reciting Amitabha Buddha every day is enough.

This sect has obviously lowered its threshold deliberately in order to have as many Buddhas as possible after entering the Age of Ending Dharma. It obviously does not possess any extraordinary abilities.

In Xia Ya's research over the years, Tantric Buddhism has the most secret methods, but this religion also has many problems.

Tantra, also known as consciousness-only Tantra, emphasizes the practice of achieving rapid enlightenment through tantra, mantra, esoteric contemplation and other esoteric practices.

Tantric Buddhism focuses on the secret transmission of tantric methods. Practitioners gradually develop their potential, purify their minds, and ultimately achieve enlightenment and liberation by receiving initiations and oral teachings, as well as practicing tantric methods.

It almost means that you have to be led by a teacher, and you can learn through this teacher. Because it is very confidential, it is also called Tantra.

In Tantra, there is the concept of a deity.

That is to say, a scholar chooses a Buddha, a Bodhisattva or a Mingwang that he loves and respects the most as the object or example of learning and achievement, which is called the deity.

To achieve all the merits and wisdom of this deity, one must practice the Three Tantric Yoga methods.

The three secrets are the three karma of the body, speech, and mind, and yoga is translated as corresponding.

Three Tantric Yoga means the correspondence of three karmas. Corresponding to whom? That is, the practitioner's own body, speech, and mind correspond to the three karmas of the deity's body, speech, and mind.

When practicing the method, the practitioner should assume the posture of the deity, make mudras with his hands, recite the mantra of the deity, and make visualizations or seed words of the deity. He must make his three karma correspond to the three secrets of the deity. This is called yoga practice. If you practice this method, you can instantly achieve the body of the deity.

This is the instant Buddhahood in Tantra.

The Fire Realm Spell that Chara used before was a kind of deity mantra.

Zen Buddhism is like the European Emperor player, and once he gets into the soul, sects like the Pure Land Sect are like ordinary players, who slowly rely on their liver to level up, while Tantric Buddhism is just the liver plus a little krypton gold, and finally a little computer hacking to invade other people's systems.

Many people's impression of Tantra probably comes from a certain local religion, and their impression is relatively poor.

However, there are two other types of esoteric religions, one is Tang esotericism and the other is Eastern esotericism. These two are different from that religion.

The latter was introduced by the Indian monk Padmasambhava in the late Tang Dynasty.

Han Tantric Buddhism was introduced to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was known as Tang Mi.

It is a pity that Tang Mi traveled eastward to Japan and was lost in China. The esoteric sect after traveling eastward to Japan was called Dong Mi, also known as Shingon Buddhism.

The person who spread Tang Mi to Japan was the monk named "Kukai" who appeared in the Legend of the Demon Cat.

But Xia Ya didn't want to make Esotericism the main school of thought in the academy.

What he wants to do is to integrate today's Buddhism, extract the essence of its knowledge and eliminate the dross.

But at this moment, he already has a candidate.
