The first Buddha in history

In the world of Daochun, when it comes to Buddhist sects, everyone will subconsciously think of Huayan sect.

There are many sects of Buddhist sects, which are basically divided into: Zhilv Sect, Ming Zen Sect, Faxiang Sect, Sanlun Sect and Pure Land Sect.For example, Yinzhen Temple is one of the branches of Ming Zen in the lower realm, but because it has not had a decent Buddhist practice for many years, and has lost the first volume of "Guanyin Tulu", it has been removed from Ming Zen.Without such a big backer, it was eaten up by other sects.

The Huayan Sect is one of the branches of the Zhilv Sect. Every one or two generations, there will be a Buddhist cultivator with a second dharma seal, so it is still highly valued. Up to now, it has become the largest and most complete Buddhist cultivator in the world in Daochun. Zongmen.Countless disciples of Xiangfo hope to enter Huayan Sect to practice, but Huayan Sect is more strict in accepting disciples than other sects, so the number of disciples has always been small.In the current generation, there are only a few dozen younger Buddhist cultivators, and among these dozen or so disciples, apart from Master Sacred Heart Buddha Sansi, who is ranked seventh on the Tiandan list, the others have always been outside the hundred. It looks like chicken ribs, but they are all on the list!

Obviously, Hua Yanzong pursues elite education, and the wisdom of Buddhism is illusory, and there may not be one person in a hundred who is suitable for Buddhist cultivation. Such an arrangement is reasonable.

Master Sansi became alchemy for ten years, firmly sitting in the top ten of the Tiandan list, and because of his benevolence and kindness, he has the title of "Sacred Heart Buddha".

Well, in fact, almost all the Buddhist cultivators on the list have a good reputation. After all, Buddhist cultivators seldom kill.Such a nondescript "half-Buddha" title like Xie Zhenghong seems to embarrass Buddhist practitioners.All the monks would not think that Xie Zhenghong was from a serious Buddhist background when they saw this title, and the people of Huayan Sect were no exception.

Therefore, even if Xie Zhenghong quickly jumped to the fifteenth place in the Tiandan list, no Buddha cultivator wanted to come and discuss Buddhism with him.

Orthodox Buddhism has always regarded Yehu Chan as a charlatan, and has never looked down upon him.

Sheshen Temple was originally just an unremarkable temple, but at this moment it seemed crowded with crowds, not to mention crowds of people, it was also bustling, which shows the great reputation of Master Sansi.Although the vast majority of monks can memorize the top ten titles on the Tiandan list, there are very few monks who can meet them.Except for a small half of the monks who came to the Sacrifice Temple who really wanted to come and listen to the Dharma, almost all the rest came for seeing and thinking twice. Heart wood Buddha beads, after all, Buddhist instruments are not only rare but also expensive. Although a single Buddha bead is nothing, it is still effective for monks in the foundation building period or Qi refining period.

Xie Zhenghong was among these people, pushed into the temple.

It was an amazing experience, but also very interesting.

A small temple gathered all kinds of monks with various purposes. Xie Zhenghong could almost clearly feel the thoughts of these monks when he was in it.The world of mortals is rolling and coming one after another.

Although the sacrificial temple is small, it is very unique.

Seeing that the temple couldn’t sit down, many monks used various methods one after another. Some stepped on flying swords to hunt clothes; some sat on the lotus platform and pretended to be Buddhist monks; There are all kinds of flying magic weapons that you can't think of, but you can't see them.Some people even stepped on a dice, which is really dumbfounding.

It was only then that Xie Zhenghong remembered that almost all of his magic weapons were attack-type, and they were all Buddhist magic weapons, so it was too ostentatious to take them out.I had no choice but to sit down next to a young monk in the Qi refining period.

"Hey, you can't afford the magic weapon?" The young monk turned to look at Xie Zhenghong and asked.

Xie Zhenghong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It's okay, let's practice hard, and one day we will be able to afford it." The man comforted himself, "Maybe later I will be given a Buddhist heart wood bead by Master Sansi, so that I can save money to buy and practice. It’s money for Qi Dan.” The beads of Buddha Heart Wood have the effect of calming the mind, which is useful for the monks in the Qi refining period and the monks in the Foundation Establishment period, and the monks who come to the Buddha Heart Wood beads also account for a large number of people here. most.Jindan Zhenjun mostly rely on their own status, and the Buddhist meeting of the Sacred Heart Buddha this time is basically prepared for low-level monks, so naturally not many people come to make fun of it.However, there are still some Jindan monks who want to know the gap between themselves and the top ten Jindan Zhenjun in the Tiandan list, but they are far away, and they only use their spiritual sense to spy here.

On the contrary, a person like Xie Zhenghong who sincerely wants to come and listen to Sansi's lecture on Buddhism is an outlier.

Suddenly, Xie Zhenghong turned his gaze to the rear left.

"It's a predestined relationship for you to come to the Sheshen Temple, and it's a predestined relationship for you to cross the Buddha's path. Please give me the Dharma name and think twice. You are being polite."

A mellow and soft voice sounded, and he suddenly appeared in the field like a breeze, almost no one noticed.

Wearing a light blue monk's robe and a string of unpretentious Buddhist beads, it is the whole attire of San Si.

He looks very young, his skin is crystal clear like jade, his features are both beautiful and soft, his eyes are black and bright, extremely deep, but when you look closely, they are shining like black pearls, which is soul-stirring.The whole person is like a statue, free from any worldly vulgarity, even if he has an outstanding appearance, it is difficult to attract people's attention.

It turns out that this is the Sacred Heart Buddha, and he really lives up to his reputation!

Such a year suddenly flashed in everyone's minds, and the originally impetuous emotions calmed down a lot.

Did he practice open-mouth meditation?

Xie Zhenghong suddenly had such a thought.

There is a saying in Buddhism to practice closed-mouth meditation. Some Buddhists believe that the cycle of life and death of all living beings is caused by the three karmas of body, speech and mind. Eliminating these three karmas will result in great liberation and freedom.The principle of closed mouth meditation is to reduce oral karma.Later, Foxiumen developed a set of exercises, originally called "Prajna Mouth Karma Heart Sutra", which can achieve the effect of enlightening people even when they speak.People in the realm of self-cultivation jokingly called it "Open-mouth Zen". Over time, its real name was only circulated in Buddhist sects, but the reputation of Open-mouth Zen spread.

Open-mouth meditation is famous, but not everyone can practice it.

Secondly, open-mouth meditation has little effect on oneself, mainly for others. When Buddhist practitioners recite scriptures or promote Buddhism, speaking with open-mouth meditation will make the audience understand Buddhism more deeply and experience the mystery of the Dao. Serve others.Therefore, Buddhist practitioners who are willing to practice open-mouth meditation are almost all those who have great perseverance and a high level of cultivation. Like thinking twice, those who have achieved effective results in the Golden Core stage, I am afraid they have to start practicing from the Qi refining stage. .

As for the monks in the Qi refining period, they don't have the ability to protect themselves, and they just think about how to serve others. If such a person does not have the title of "Sacred Heart Buddha", then others will not be able to get such a title.

"What the poor monk said today is the word 'dependence'." Sansi waved his hand, and a dilapidated futon appeared on the ground.

He sat on the ground, as if he was sitting on the supreme lotus platform, full of indescribable aura.

In Xie Zhenghong's mind, countless sayings about "dependence" flashed across the mind, but in the end they all became the word "cause and effect".

"Dependent origination means that all dharmas arise because of causes and conditions. The Buddha said, if this exists, then that exists; if this arises, that arises; if this does not exist, then that does not exist; if this ceases, then that ceases. Everything in the world exists at the same time or at different times. Mutual existence. It is like putting a seed on the ground, so a bud will grow, and when the seed dies, the bud will grow, and when the bud grows, the seed will die..."

The theory of dependent origination in Buddhism and the theory of cause and effect in Taoism lead to the same goal, so Sansi chose such an entry point to talk about Buddhism, which can be easily accepted by Taoist monks.This is undoubtedly an excellent start.

What Sansi said was very simple and easy to understand.

However, Xie Zhenghong was still very fascinated.

The more obvious things are, the more troublesome it is to talk about. Although Xie Zhenghong also understands these things, he has never talked about them with others. His Buddhist scriptures are also understood by his own ideas.And Sansi is from an orthodox Buddhist background. What he said and what Xie Zhenghong himself thought are mutually confirmed, which is the main reason why Xie Zhenghong came here.

After hearing the end of a Buddhist meeting, Xie Zhenghong was still a little bit unsatisfied.

"That's the end of today's Buddhist meeting, everyone has worked hard." Sansi clasped his hands together, with a solemn treasure.

The sound of Sansi startled many people who were lazy to sleep. For low-level monks, the power of Sansi opening meditation could easily make them meditate, which meant that they could easily fall asleep or rest.This Buddhist meeting was narrated from early morning to late at night. Now that the galaxy is shining brightly, there are only a handful of monks who have listened to it completely without a break in the middle.

After all, almost all the people who came to this Buddhist meeting were not Buddhist practitioners, and their cultivation was low, so it was difficult for them to understand the deep meaning behind what San Si said.And those Golden Core cultivators understood these things very well, and listening to them didn't have much effect.The consciousness of these golden core monks dispersed one after another in this Buddhist meeting, leaving no waves.

And the rest of the monks sitting here almost all came for the Buddha heart wood beads.

"Be careful, the poor monk wishes you all well." Thinking twice, he said "Amitabha", and hundreds of Buddhist beads flew out behind him, shining with the swastika Buddha light, and fell into the arms of many monks one by one.The young man next to Xie Zhenghong also got one, but most of them still had no chance with this prayer bead.

If someone has a heart to check carefully, I'm afraid they will find that almost all the people who got the beads have listened to some Buddhist teachings.

"Hey, brother, don't be discouraged. There will be opportunities like this in the future. I'll go first." The young man comforted Xie Zhenghong with a smile, and then left with his friend.The rest of those who didn't get the beads, although their faces were a little blue, but it's impossible for them to go away resentfully because of a match between a Buddha bead and the Golden Core cultivator.

Not long after, Xie Zhenghong was the only one left here.

"Fellow Taoist, what advice do you have for what Sansi said?" Sansi asked Xie Zhenghong respectfully.

He has already recognized Xie Zhenghong's Buddhist inheritance, and even guessed Xie Zhenghong's identity somewhat.

"All dharmas come into being due to a continuum of conditions, and are extinguished due to a continuation of the Dharma. My teacher, the great recluse, often speaks like this."

The author has something to say: What Xie Zhenghong said was the famous "Yelp of Origination", which was said by one of the first five Buddhist monks.In other words, it is the most orthodox statement of the word "dependent origin" in Buddhism.That is the so-called standard answer, the kind that cannot be wrong.
