After Becoming the Stand-in for the White Moonlight: 301|Night Talk with His Holiness (2)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter after dressing up as a white moonlight substitute!
Qiao Wan was shocked and almost thought she heard wrongly.
But the expression on Venerable Miaofa's face clearly told her that she heard correctly.
Qiao Wan hesitated for a moment and asked her... to kill her with her own hands?
Moving her lips, Qiao Wan said calmly: "Senior, I... don't understand."
Why choose her?
This is not a very glorious task. Killing a senior from the same camp with your own hands will undoubtedly bring psychological shadow to people. Does it seem that she has such a strong psychological endurance?
Master Miaofa hummed, Qili Danhui’s thin lips pursed slightly, and the corners of her eyes shone with golden light.
"Listen to me."
Qiao Wan sat up a little straighter and straightened her back.
Master Miaofa frowned, "Zen sect emphasizes the existence of an 'alaya consciousness', do you know?"
Qiao Wan tried hard to search through his memory, "Junior... I have heard of it, but don't know much about it."
She only vaguely knew that Buddhism did not seem to recognize a permanent "I" in reincarnation, that is, it did not recognize the existence of a "soul".
As the Buddha's pure and solemn voice sounded, the Buddha lowered his voice and his voice was gentle and circuitous, slowly revealing a shocking secret belonging to his inner demon.
"Sentient beings in the world have six consciousnesses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the seventh consciousness is manas consciousness, and the eighth consciousness is alaya consciousness."
[Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue and body] are the tentacles of feeling. They hand over external information to [consciousness], [consciousness] then passes the [Mana Consciousness], and hands the data to [Alaya Consciousness], which is like a hard drive that stores data.
The various activities of human beings in the human world, the good and bad karma created by body, speech, mind and deeds in past and present lives are all preserved by Alaya Consciousness.
Manas consciousness is similar to the carrier of personality. When a person grows up and is affected by various living environments, he will form different personalities and different ways of looking at the world.
Manas consciousness extracts the data stored in Alaya consciousness, and then projects these "information" into self-colored "self-grasping" through consciousness. Pure consciousness does not have egoistic bias. After being polluted by manas consciousness, human consciousness has become egoistic.
This is what is called "self-grasping". Buddhism regards mana consciousness as the root of self-attachment. If you persist in delusion, it will create all kinds of bad karma. On the contrary, it will eliminate the evil karma of troubles and fully understand the truth of the two emptiness of human beings and dharma, so it is called stained pure consciousness.
The foundation of Buddhist practice also lies in getting rid of "self-grasping".
"You may often hear us say that all living beings are Buddhas."
Master Miaofa paused slightly. He had taught Qiao Wan the Dharma in his dream for more than ten years before. Qiao Wan had some knowledge of Buddhism, but the same was not true of the amnesiac girl in front of him. He was not sure whether she was I still remember that I frowned slightly and started from the beginning again.
The Buddha's phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, his long navy blue hair fell down, and his eyes were pure. He taught tirelessly and earnestly, finally showing unparalleled patience and not getting angry because of the ignorance of his disciples.
This is the majesty of the "Miaofa Venerable" in the Great Guangming Hall. He is the mentor of countless monks in confusion, a small boat in the sea of suffering, and a beacon of mercy.
"All living beings have alaya consciousness. Alaya consciousness is permanent and indestructible. Its nature is like diamond, perfect and pure. It originally comes from pure nature and Nirvana. It is just obscured by 'self-grasping'."
The seeds of karma preserved by the eighth consciousness, alaya consciousness, are constantly climbing up from the mana consciousness, and in conjunction with the six external objects, they are constantly creating new karma, and at the same time, they are constantly collecting new karma seeds, and the cycle is endless.
Qiao Wan felt a little... confused after hearing this.
It has been a long time since I found the illusion of listening to a sacred book in high school, but I still try my best to listen, and I also know that the current situation cannot be ignored if you don’t understand it. Just ask if you don’t understand.
Master Miaofa also patiently answered all the questions one by one.
After understanding the alaya consciousness, the Buddha closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "After the demon in my heart is born, I can see the alaya consciousness of all sentient beings."
Qiao Wan was stunned.
Buddhism says that if you sow good causes, you will get blessed fruits, and if you sow bad causes, you will get bitter fruits.
Alaya consciousness preserves all "karma" and is the main body of cause and effect. Doesn't being able to clearly see everyone's alaya consciousness mean that you can clearly see all kinds of good and bad karma that everyone has done in their previous lives, this life, and previous lives? !
"Senior...can you clearly see the many good and evil deeds that everyone has done in their past and present lives?" Qiao Wan asked stammering.
Looking at the Miaofa Venerable in front of him, he looked even more... worshipful.
Is he worthy of being a Buddhist giant? ! Wouldn't it be possible to see her past life? This made Qiao Wan's thoughts wander for a second, thinking about those small websites that "foresee your past lives" that she had seen on the Internet, as well as some hypnosis techniques that were once popular.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Senior, can you also see me?"
Venerable Miaofa didn't talk nonsense. He swept his eyes and gave a decisive answer: "Of course."
Qiao Wan wanted to ask, but when she opened her mouth, no question came out.
Forget it, is it better not to ask? Everyone has been reincarnated for so many lives, and there must be one life where he feels a bit shameful.
"If there is a cause, there will be a result. If you sow karma, you will receive retribution. The retribution has three parts: present retribution, birth retribution, and future retribution."
"Present retribution means receiving the retribution now and soon. Rebirth retribution means that you have done good and evil deeds in this life and will receive good and evil retribution in the next life. As for the retribution in the hereafter," the Venerable Miaofa said solemnly, "Even if You will not receive the retribution in this life, but you will receive it one day in the next life, the next life, and hundreds of thousands of billions of eons later.”
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, sooner or later."
Qiao Wan vaguely seemed to notice something, and a thin drop of sweat crawled up her back. She tightened her clothes and asked, "Then what does these have to do with the inner demons of the seniors?"
The Buddha was sitting in the tent, as if he were sitting on a lotus platform. His golden eyelashes were raised, and his slender eyelashes were opening and closing, just like the opening and falling of lotus flowers. He said firmly: "I can see everyone. The Alaya Consciousness clearly understands the good and evil deeds committed by people in the past and present lives, and brings their consequences to the present life."
Like thunder from the ground, God's will suddenly descended.
The camp suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Cold sweat fell from Qiao Wan's back with a "swipe" sound.
How is this possible...?
Qiao Wan's mouth was dry, and she thought in shock, and her heart immediately began to beat crazily in her chest.
Even if you kill someone, you may not get retribution in this life. Your retribution may be in the next life or the next life, but the power of the Venerable Miaofa can make you get retribution immediately and receive its consequences.
The Venerable Miaofa in front of me...is he still a human being?
This BUG's ability, which is like the incarnation of heaven, is something she has never heard of or seen before.
Isn’t it true that after the so-called Shiyuan Emperor is unsealed, there is nothing he can do? !
Qiao Wan thought blankly, a person must have caused countless bad karma in his previous life, and his previous life, and Emperor Shiyuan slaughtered countless monks and mortals hundreds of years ago, which caused even more bad karma. Feedback accumulated overnight, even if Emperor Shiyuan came, there was nothing he could do against the Buddha in front of him!
Knowing how shocked these words were to the girl in front of him, Master Miaofa paused and gave her time to digest. However, he still frowned and continued sternly: "I once said , sow evil causes, and get evil rewards; sow good causes, and get good rewards. The consequences will come sooner or later, and the 'cause' will not disappear by itself before the 'result' is obtained."
"I slaughter all sentient beings indiscriminately and create killing karma. Before I get the retribution, my bad karma will not disappear and cannot be purified. I will definitely incur retribution."
This is a dead end. Unless you suffer the retribution you deserve, the retribution will eventually come in the next life, the next life, and hundreds of millions of years later.
"So, I hope you can kill me."
The Buddha's phoenix eyes are half-shrunk: "All living beings are suffering, including birth, old age, illness, death, resentment and resentment, separation from love, and failure to seek."
This is an old saying that Buddhist monks often talk about. Even ordinary people who do not study Buddhism can read these sentences, but what is "suffering" and why should we practice?
As the mentor of the Great Guangming Hall, Venerable Miaofa has seen countless lives, separations, and deaths. He has seen people who were poor and had no cure, so they could only kneel in front of the Buddha, cry loudly, and beg the Buddha for mercy. , and give her/his parents and children a way out.
At that time, the Buddha felt a little sad in his heart and was slightly moved.
Life is bitter, old age is bitter, illness is bitter, and death is bitter. Ordinary people will always experience the death of parents, separation from loved ones, serious illness without cure, raising children and old age, etc., or many physical or psychological dilemmas. Experience separation, experience love and separation, meet resentment and hate, and never get what you want.
If a person is seriously ill and in great pain, and when he is about to die, he will also be in great pain. After death, he forgets about his future and enters reincarnation again, continuing to repeat this kind of pain for life after life, for hundreds of millions of years. In the game, if you persist in your obsession, you will not be able to escape.
Qiao Wan knows that you and I are all Buddhas in nature, and our Alaya consciousness is pure and perfect, and we are not affected by these pains. This is like forgetting everything, entering a game, and being obscured by this game.
Just like "The Truman Show", Siddhartha Gautama saw the truth of this "The Truman Show" clearly and broke his "ego", so he became an awakened person and a Buddha.
They are all "Truman Burbank" suffering in this virtual world, shielded by all pollution and ignorance.
The so-called beings who are lost in time are Buddhas when they are enlightened.
Buddha is not a lofty thing. Buddha is an awakened being. He who is consciously aware of him is an awakened sentient being.
"Killing me will help me enter reincarnation early, so that I can repay my bad karma in this life as soon as possible in the six realms of reincarnation, human and heaven."
"Kill me, a devil who does all evil, to benefit all sentient beings." Venerable Miaofa raised his eyes, and between his slightly frowning eyebrows, there seemed to be a slight tenderness passing by, and finally became calm and indifferent like a dragonfly touching water, "I can also achieve your success. Blessings for all ages."
The Buddha is gentle and compassionate, his body is like Bodhi, his mind is like a mirror, and his heart is clear and thorough.
Running for sentient beings, he does not hesitate to transform into a Shura, and he will be reincarnated forever, but he still has no complaints or regrets.
As for Qiao Wan, she was an accident.
Master Miaofa knew very well what he wanted her to do, and it was unfair to her.
But Qiao Wan was indeed the best candidate he had thought of, and he was also the one he had chosen a long time ago.
There seemed to be a thin stream of light in the girl's eyes, which was bright and moving.
It was getting late, and the wind in the wilderness blew through the decaying grass. The grass clippings were rolled into the dark sky and fell precariously into the flaming firewood pile outside the tent.
The eyes fell on the girl's face. In the silence, it seemed as if a wildfire had burned from the other side of the wilderness to the tent. The flames burned all the way to the feet of the Buddha. The heart of the high-ranking venerable man moved slightly, like waves in a lotus pond. Only for this moment.
Master Miaofa's expression paused imperceptibly, and he frowned.
It seemed that at that moment, I was going to burn myself in the endless flames.
After practicing to this point, apart from being jealous of evil and having a bad temper when facing demons, most of the time, Venerable Miaofa can be considered steady, solemn, stoic and indifferent.
For a moment, the Buddha converged his eyes, and his Zen mind became silent.
Practitioners should be strong-minded and kill him, which will bring her good fortune and retribution for all eternity. One day, she will reach the high road early and become a Buddha. She will not have to continue to suffer in this reincarnation and will not be able to be liberated in all life after life.
