Chapter 522 Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis (2/2)

Shen Lian said, ”Since you practice the state of meditation, you can't diverge from four Dhyanas and eight Samadhis. Therefore, what is your current stage?”

Buneng not at all curious that Shen Lian knew about 'four Dhyanas and eight Samadhis' because this was not something unique to Buddhism. He replied, ”I am now at the second Zen and its second heaven.”

The practice of meditation was mainly for exploring the realm of non-being, noticing what the ordinary people had not seen, practicing the psyche and laying the foundation for future detachment.

There was no detailed distinction between the realms of the non-being but according to the realm of meditation, it could be slightly different.

In the different realms of meditation, the world of the non-being was divided into four Zens and seventeen heavens. Even at the first of Zen, there were three heavens; the second Zen had three heavens; the third Zen had three heavens; the fourth Zen had a total of eight heavens. In this way, the world of non-being was divided into four Zens and seventeen heavens. In other words, the level of meditation state determined the level he would be if he achieved to the non-being realm.

This non-being realm was unlike the Daoists' Heaven Enlightenment and the Western Paradise. It was a place that everyone in the universe could go to gain spiritual pleasure and to enhance their pysche power. This was also one of the three realms that Buddhism mentioned.

For Shen Lian, the non-being realm was nothing more than a mysterious space that could help one to extend great techniques of the spirit. It was full of forces that could enhance one's pysche power.

However, Shen Lian did not go to the non-being realm to obtain the psyche power. This was because his practice of the Mastery of Senses improved the psyche power to be pure and clean with minimum karma. At this stage of the journey, strength was readily obtainable. However, It was important that the source should be known to prevent frauds.

Most of the source of strength for his practice was related to Lingbao Tianzun. Being a status like him, there would not be other things that were worthy of his attention in this world. Hence, if Shen Lian were to be used by Lingbao Tianzun, it was considered as a blessing.

Shen Lian did not mean to be self-sufficient, but based on the Daoist master's status, there was no such thing as seeking help from another. It was usually the other way round. Otherwise, he would not be called as a Daoist master.

Shen Lian suddenly grinned. Buneng was actually second of two.

Buneng did not understand the reason behind Shen Lian's laughter. On the other hand, Shen Lian did not explain, because after all, only he knew the inside joke. Shen Lian's movement was as light as the thin smoke. He walked one circle around Buneng and stopped. He said, ”If you are able to break this circle, you can come to see me for an explanation.”

After speaking, Shen Lian entered the Zhiwei Temple. Both of the door attendants shut their doors, walked out of the door and guarded the circle which was drawn for imprisonment.

Buneng tried to walk to the edge of the circle. Suddenly, a wave of vigorous golden light flashed. It not only confused his perception but also seemed to have a hand, constantly pulling him downwards.

Wangcheng, Xia Palace, a green cotton curtain, enveloped a bed carved by king of jades. The whole body had no extra texture. It was simple and neat.

King of jades calmed minds. This could prevent evil spirits and could delay the onset of injuries. It was a rare treasure between heaven and earth.

In addition, king of jades of the Netherworld had mostly adhered to the pure power of the spirit. Furthermore, rarely any item could directly rejuvenate the soul with no side effects.

A beautiful man was lying on a bed. His face was paler than the jade. The king of jades produced spiritual vigor but still could not stop him from losing his life.

Not far away, Emperor Xia furiously said, ”Rubbish, a group of useless people. If he is dead, all of you would be buried together with him.”
