MTL - The Head of My Family is Number One In the World-Chapter 432 If the heart does not die, the Tao will not be born
"Golden Cicada."
Chen Sha looked at the golden cicada lying on the bodhi branch, trying his best to eat the tree, and at the same time he was eating the whirling world:
"He, has not yet given birth to spiritual wisdom?"
Looking at this golden cicada, who was just a child at the time, has now been reincarnated into an insect, it seems that only the instinct of insects is left.
But seeing that he feeds on the Bodhi tree in the whole whirling world, it seems to prove that this is not an ordinary golden cicada.
"I'm going to take him."
Chen Sha withdrew his gaze from the golden cicada on the tree, turned to look at Venerable Longhua, and said:
"He is my apprentice. He was originally a very innocent and simple child, so he shouldn't be so muddleheaded."
Unexpectedly, Venerable Longhua smiled and said: "Do you think he is confused? In fact, it is not. He can eat the whirling world evolved by the Gautama Enlightenment, and there is no one in the entire world and the fairyland in the world. It's like being blessed by nature and having great fortune."
Chen Sha does not deny that this is indeed a great creation, saying: "But he is my apprentice, and it is because of me that he was reincarnated as Jin Chan, and I have to be responsible for him."
"How do you think that if he follows you, there will be a better future?"
Venerable Longhua said:
"Actually, his stay on this Bodhi tree is the fate of his karmic cycle. Similarly, this is also the ending that Venerable Gotama has long seen, or in another sense, when Venerable Gotama was in Before the demise, this whirling world has been regarded as a heritage and left to Jin Chan."
"what?"
Chen Sha was surprised:
"That Buddhist enlightened person back then could actually see what happened today?"
Venerable Longhua folded his hands together and said, "Taoism seeks life and death, demonism seeks truth and falsehood, Confucianism seeks good and evil, and demon kingdom seeks change. You must have heard of the fundamental religion of my Buddhist saints."
"Cause and effect." Chen Sha spit out these two words, thoughtfully: "Is it cause and effect?"
Venerable Longhua said leisurely: "Cause and effect cycle, there is a cause and there is an effect. The foundation of my Buddhism's teaching lies in the word causation, the seed of the cause and the effect. The recipient is like this. When my Buddhist practitioners reach the status of a bodhisattva, You can already see the future karma from the causes of your own karma. This is the origin of the saying, "Bodhisattvas fear the cause, and all living beings fear the effect."
"Therefore, some people in Buddhism try to avoid falling into karma as much as possible, so the four elements are empty, they do not enter the world, and they want to avoid karma, but this is only Theravada Buddhism."
"Until Gautama Awakened proposed that 'all four are empty, cause and effect are not empty', and believed that even if you sit on a futon and do not walk in the world, you can't escape cause and effect after all, because there are all things in this world, all over the world, and the birth of all heavens and ten thousand worlds. , is a 'effect', and since there is an effect, there must be a 'cause' that creates everything, which I call the 'cause of all effects' in Buddhism."
"In the ancient days of heaven, the eight creation gods all had the characteristics of a part of the "cause of all fruits", but after the collapse of ancient times, the gods disappeared, the emperor disappeared, and the causes of all fruits were obscure and difficult to find."
Chen Sha heard this and asked, "What does all this have to do with me taking Jin Chan away?"
Venerable Longhua looked at Chen Sha and said, "Don't you understand, what happened today was already doomed from the beginning, you said that this Jin Chan was your apprentice, but in fact, when Venerable Gotama left this When the Bodhi tree turned into a whirling world, Jin Chan was accepted as a disciple in the past, and this is cause and effect."
"If you choose to let him stay here, after he eats all the whirling world in the future, he will naturally change shape, and because of swallowing a whirling world, he is born with strong roots and Buddha nature. The achievement...is no less than mine."
"And if you have to take it away, it will only make him lose this good fortune in vain."
Chen Sha was not persuaded by Venerable Longhua's "cause and effect theory", but was silent for his last sentence.
Look up.
After nibbling on a continent-like leaf, Jin Chan ate a round belly, lying comfortably on the branch and fluttering its wings slightly...
sighed inwardly.
Chen Sha has been persuaded, and he can see clearly, this is a great blessing.
The whirling world left by Gautama Enlightenment, who was hailed as the most promising person to take over the mantle of the Buddha, is actually a treasure left by a "one".
This treasure is too big, but it was left to Jin Chan by that one.
"Okay, Jin Chan can continue to stay in your Mount Sumeru."
Chen Sha made a compromise.
Venerable Longhua smiled and said, "Your decision is not what Gautama Enlightenment expected, after all, you are the same cause and effect."
Chen Sha raised his eyebrows and said, "So in your opinion, he is the cause, and I am the fruit?"
Venerable Longhua smiled and said, "If you really want to explore this question, you might as well meet Gotama Enlightenment in person, and you'll know."
Chen Sha was shocked.
Meet that Gautama.
If this Gautama is really the same person as Chen Yingning and others, then Chen Sha has wanted to meet them for a long time, but unfortunately, he has never achieved this idea along the way.
"He is still alive?" Chen Sha asked in shock.
Venerable Longhua pointed to this whirling world and said, "Gautama Enlightened One sat and transformed under this Bodhi tree in the past, and the whole person has transformed into this world, and this world is actually Gautama Enlightened One. The 'trace body' left in the world."
"The reason why I know so much about Jin Chan and Your Excellency's arrival is all in this whirling world. You just need to meditate and sit cross-legged here, and naturally you will be able to see the Gotama Enlightened One staying here. wisdom."
The body of the trace, when the Dao reaches the "one", it will be able to practice the traces left by itself in the heaven, earth and the universe to survive in the world.
In a sense, the trace body is actually the shadow cast by the body in the universe.
Among the major sects today, with the exception of Taoist leader Li, all the 'one' statues survive in the world as traces.
"Okay, then I'll try to see if I can meet the enlightened one."
Chen Sha glanced at Venerable Longhua, then went under the Bodhi tree, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
And at the moment when Chen Shapan sat under this Bodhi tree.
He seemed to travel through time and space.
In my mind, I saw a world of linden trees, with blue sky and white clouds, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Under this linden tree, there is a monk in white with one finger to the sky and the other to the ground.
Immediately, a domineering will that dominates the present and is the only one who is self-respected is transmitted from the monk in white.
OM~~
This strong will and domineering made Chen Sha's heart have a strong impact, which was no less than the impact he received when he comprehended the Taoist Taoist Taiji diagram at the Yujing Tiandaozu lecture platform not long ago.
"What? This Gautama enlightened person has definitely not reached the level of a saint of the Five Sects, why does it actually make me feel like he is a Taoist ancestor..."
Chen Sha was shocked and shocked.
and then thought.
The monk in white in the spiritual world turned from his back to him, to slowly turning around and facing Chen Sha.
It is different from when he understood the Daoist Daoist method in the lectern. At that time, the image of Daozu was wrapped in an unknowable atmosphere, making it impossible for people to see the image of Daozu clearly.
But this time is different.
Chen Sha could see clearly the face of this Buddhist enlightened person who is regarded as the most promising to take over the mantle of the Buddha.
A monk in white clothes like snow.
That face... almost exactly the same as Chen Sha.
Then, the monk opened his mouth in Chen Sha's mind and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you are you, I am me, we are all independent existences, you don't have to worry that we are the same person..."
Chen Sha's heart was shocked. At that moment, some doubts about himself flashed in his mind.
did not expect it.
In the eyes of this Buddhist enlightened person, he could see everything clearly.
"Are you really dead?"
Chen Sha really wanted to know the answer to this question.
The monk in white said: "You can think of these words, I said them a long, long time ago, and then they turned into traces and stayed between heaven and earth. When I saw you, I happened to be heard by you again. "
When Chen Sha heard this statement, it was even more incredible: "Doesn't this mean that you knew what I was going to say a long time ago, so you can so easily prepare the next sentence of every sentence I say, and say it a long time ago. come out."
The monk in white said with a smile: "It's not difficult, after all, isn't there a person around you who can know the future? It should be a woman."
Chen Sha's pupils shrank slightly: "You can also know the future in reverse."
The monk in white said: "Cause and effect themselves represent the truth and essence. It is not difficult to see the past and future clearly from the cause and effect, and it is not difficult to achieve this."
Chen Sha accepted this statement, after all, he is a 'one'.
Immediately, he asked what he wanted to know most:
"Since that's the case, you must know that there are other people in the world with faces like ours. Why did they all disappear in the end, and you, why did you disappear in the end, and where did you all go?"
After hearing this question, the monk in white stood under the Bodhi tree.
After a few breaths, he opened his mouth and said:
"Always on the road of seeking the Way."
Chen Sha frowned. He asked a few questions himself, but there was only one answer, and it was paradoxical. It was this guy who didn't count himself asking a few questions in a row, and still didn't want to tell himself more.
He still insisted:
"Where are they all, where is my father Chen Canxuan?"
"On the way to seek the Way."
is the answer again, and the tone of the monk in white has obviously become more calm and indifferent.
"The Tao? Where is the Tao? Is the Tao you seek a Tao?"
"The Tao is in the past, and the Tao is also in the future."
The monk in white looked at Chen Sha and said:
"Although we are all independent existences, your existence is very important. Our Dao needs to be manifested because of you. You need to remember one sentence..."
"If the mind does not die, the Tao will not be born."
After saying this, the white-robed monk smiled slightly in Chen Sha's spiritual world, which immediately turned into petals all over the sky and dissipated.
…
Chen Sha opened his eyes.
Venerable Longhua saw Chen Sha's eyes turning confused and puzzled. He knew that Chen Sha had seen Gautama Enlightened One, and asked:
"Can we talk happily?"
Chen Sha said silently: "General."
"Oh?" Venerable Longhua asked curiously, "Can't get the answer you want?"
Chen Sha sighed: "I failed to solve the puzzles, but added a lot of new puzzles."
Having said that, he stood up.
looked up at the golden cicada again, exhaled and said, "I'll take my leave."
Venerable Longhua put his hands together and said, "I, Mount Sumeru, look forward to Your Excellency's early realization of supreme enlightenment."
Chen Sha smiled and said, "What is Supreme Enlightenment?"
Venerable Longhua smiled and said: "Supreme Enlightenment is the Buddha's wisdom that has reached the other side. In Taoism and spiritual religions, it is also called Daluo Immortal."
Chen Sha was shocked, looked at Venerable Longhua, and said, "Daruo Immortal, you actually said that I can prove Daluo Immortal?"
Although he does have this ambition in his heart, he also knows that the Daluo Immortal is currently in the entire heavens and the world, that is, thirteen, the Eight Gods of the Ancient Wilderness, and the Five Masters of Humanity.
The ancient eight gods are the innate Taoist gods, the congenital Daluo, and the five major sages and saints of the acquired day. Which of them is not the existence that has opened up the Dao in his heart.
Even if Chen Sha has such ambitions, he still has no confidence, and feels that he can create any Taoism comparable to Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and demons.
Venerable Longhua said: "You and Gotama Enlightenment have one cause and one effect. Just by unraveling the cause and effect relationship between you, you may be able to achieve that state."
Chen Sha understood, this is not because he has confidence in himself, but he still regards himself as a continuation of Gautama. He feels that the enlightened one could almost inherit the mantle of the Buddha and become the second Buddha of Buddhism. If it is his incarnation, of course it can.
Fortunately, Chen Sha has already got some of the answers from the monk in white.
They are all independent beings.
But there is no need to say anything to this old monk, saying:
"Then let's wait and see."
After saying that, Chen Sha walked out of this whirling world, turned around and looked at the branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree behind him, dancing whirlingly.
vaguely.
The golden cicada seemed to have raised its head, glanced at Chen Sha, and immediately stretched out its little feet, hugged a bodhi leaf, and started to eat.
"Then I'll wait for the day when you change shape to be born, and I will come to pick you up as a teacher."
Chen Sha left Mount Sumeru.
After half a day, he returned to Daoyi Mountain.
"Didn't bring back Jin Chan?" Song Yu and the others watched Chen Sha come back alone.
Chen Sha shook his head and said, "He has good fortune over there, and now is not the time to pick it up."
Although the others were disappointed when they saw this, they felt that Dao Yishan was still one person behind and did not come back. They had some regrets, but they knew that Chen Sha must have made every effort.
Next, a group of relatives gathered together for a few days and talked about their experiences in the immortal world.
After half a month, Wang Shan said goodbye and wanted to return to Xuantan Mountain, which was his place of harmony.
Chen Sha is like an old father, looking at his sons and daughters who have not been home for a long time, he once again packs his bags and walks to his own world.
watched the apprentice go down the mountain.
Chen Sha stood alone on the top of the mountain.
was thinking about the words and the ritual left by the monk in white in his heart.
This stop is a hundred years.
One hundred years later.
Suddenly, Chen Sha felt something in his heart and looked in one direction. He saw that it was a cave, and suddenly the void was broken. There was a Taoist man in a red Taoist robe who flew up from the lower realm, with three kinds of magical powers on his body.
