Chapter 972 (1/2)
A Bodhi leaf slowly fell in front of me. A pair of furry palms held the gold hooped golden cudgel on their knees, and the muddy gold dark pattern cassock was draped over their left shoulder. Although they were short, they had a natural bearing. The Bodhi leaf was blown up by the wind, and their golden hair danced with the wind.
The Buddha looked as like as two peas, but only a little more angry and lively, more peaceful and aloof.
The six foot monkey sat facing the bodhi tree, surrounded by green mountains and green water. It was very peaceful. A monk came forward and folded his hands and said, ”fighting against the Buddha is complete. The Buddha has a Dharma decree!”
Dou defeated the Buddha, but looked at the golden cudgel brought back from the front of the big Leiyin temple. He remained silent for a long time and said, ”is it complete?”
The bhikkhu said with a smile, ”why is it not perfect?”
Dou defeated the Buddha and said sadly, ”why complete?”
”The Blessed One re entered the three realms for me to help me eliminate my obsession and avoid falling into the fruit position. Finally, he brought this staff back to me. But obsession is obsession. Why should I eliminate it?”
Bhikkhu was puzzled. He didn't know why dou defeated Buddha to achieve enlightenment. Unexpectedly, he didn't see a happy face, so he had to reply: ”karma has all gone, and he is satisfied with the right outcome. When his troubles are exhausted, he can prove Bodhi. Why didn't Dou defeat Buddha see a happy face?”
”The blessed one showed me to prove the Buddha, which is called fighting to overcome. Only because the selfishness of the world is difficult to eliminate and I hold it deeply, in the process of practice, we must constantly adhere to the positive view of 'no self', and struggle with 'I want, I think, I hate and I fear' until we overcome all selfish preferences and stop indulging in kinds of obsessive worries, can we understand that there is no opposition and prove the right results.”
Dou defeated the Buddha and sighed, ”but today, when I see my obsession, I understand that in addition to the positive result, why can't there be a possibility to hold on to what I want, think about what I want, hate what I hate, fear what I fear, and live another world? Three thousand troubles, nameless origin. Why seek the positive result? Why prove the positive result?”
”At the beginning, I achieved positive results, but I was unwilling. I cut out that obsession and pinned it on the past. He was already a new 'I'. Why correct 'I'. Why not have 'I'?”
After hearing this, bhikkhu was puzzled. He was about to say the Buddha's decree, but he reached out to stop him. Dou defeated the Buddha, put it in the palm of his hand, smiled and blew it off. The hair went with the wind, and the golden cudgel on the Buddha's knee turned into a golden light, which fell on the hair, like the glory floating on the hair, and fell into the dark.
Watching the hair go away, Dou defeated the Buddha and smiled and motioned to bhikkhu: ”don't say the Dharma decree. The Buddha will decree. Just tell me to understand my true heart before you export!”
Bhikkhu watched the hair go away, stayed in place, and then watched the fight against the Buddha, but the light was no longer round, and fell asleep.
When Dou defeated the Buddha and fell to the fruit position, his face showed joy. This was the great joy and peace of mind. He looked at the hair away, but he was like unloading the burden
At the moment when Chen ang fell, if he felt it, he raised his head and looked into the distance, but he just laughed it off.
When Wukong opened his eyes, he saw all kinds of colors between heaven and earth come together and become vivid. Suddenly, it seems that heaven and earth have changed. Even the smell of soil from his mouth and nose is particularly vivid. It scratched its head, but it was not surprised. Looking left and right, it saw that it was covered with soil and mud marks.
Although still a monkey, it's like rolling in the soil without taking a bath in three or four years.
When he looked up, he saw that there was only a day the size of a washbasin on his head, and it was blocked by a lotus. Other places were thick rock walls, covered with climbing strips. This was a cave the size of two rooms, but the hole was opened on the top, which was a small sky blocked by the lotus.
Wukong got up from the ground and saw a stone tablet on one side, which said: Mani bamihong.
Wukong looked at it carefully for a while, went up and picked up the stone tablet and said with a smile, ”whose pen is this guy? I think the six character truth has weak skeleton, weak pen power, no aesthetic structure and extremely rigid structure. It can be said that there is nothing strange except correctness. Obviously, it is too mediocre... Mediocre!”
”No matter who stayed here, my grandson will write you a new one!”
After that, he took off the stone tablet. When the vines around him just floated up and were ready to whip him, Wukong bared his teeth and smiled. With one finger, he fixed them all, stiff from inside to outside, and stuck them on the rock wall like petrification.
Wukong erased the six character mantra on the stone tablet, took a pen with a finger and re portrayed it in calligraphy.
Put it up again, and sure enough, he has strong muscles and bones, strict structure and extraordinary pen skills. He and Zilu learned the method of carving bamboo slips and the hard work of hundreds of years.
After Wu Kong finished painting, he looked left and right and found that there was really nothing in the cave. He was poor and tight. He didn't care. As soon as he shrunk, he jumped out of the cave and came to a lotus pond surrounded by mountains and stones. He scratched and touched a few lotus pods, and then lay on the raised rock. While enjoying the bright moonlight, he chewed the lotus pods and opened the lotus seeds to eat.
In such a few days, Wukong sometimes cruises in the surrounding mountains and forests, picking wild peaches and fruits, crossing the mountains, and sometimes lying in the empty cave, reviewing what he has learned and ending his experience.
