Archive of Fate’s End Chapter 36: Equality is virtue
——I have a headache in writing this chapter. Everyone will have a chance to read it. There will be no such boring content in the back. Writing this kind of stuff is really difficult and unattractive. The main reason is that I used that question painfully and had to make an explanation. At the same time, it can be regarded as a difference between the Buddha's law and the Daomen's law. After all, if you come to other big worlds in the future, you will still encounter the Buddha.
Shixuan became the famous disciple of Mo Yuan, and soon spread to the top and bottom of the Penglai school. Many outside disciples bowed their feet and regretted it. If they answered the question at the time, "I don’t know" how good, only Only a few disciples remembered that Shi Xuan was the ancestor of Mo Yuan who took it all in. Although he didn't ask him for two years, who would dare to say that there was nothing stupid in it.
And Shi Xuan was outside Moyuan Cave House at this time, accompanied Mo Yuan to the distant mountain peaks and the mist-covered beauty. When he just left the Temple of Heaven, Meng Li's complicated eyes made Shi Xuan's thorn sting in his back, but he thought of himself There is a tough backer, and it is much better, at least no one will use the task to send himself to Penglai.
"But thinking about why the teacher would accept you as a disciple?" Mo Yuan, facing away from Shi Xuan, suddenly uttered a faint voice, which surprised some Xuan Xuan.
Shi Xuan replied respectfully: "The disciples do have this question." Judging from Mo Yuan's consistent behavior, it is better to tell the truth in front of him.
"Can you still remember yesterday's question as a teacher?" Mo Yuan looked at the distant mountain.
"Remember, Master, you are asking, "If one day, your friends, relatives and masters will stop you from going on the road, are you killing? Will you not kill?" The disciple answered "I don't know." Is that problem related?
Mo Yuan did not go on, but pointed to the misty distant mountain: "Look, there are two roads on that mountain. Do you know which one can go out of the mountain?"
"I don't know, I can only know it by investigating one or two on the ground." Shi Xuan answered honestly.
Mo Yuan nodded: "This is the attitude of the practice, empty talk about the heart and nature, but the rootless wood, the water without the source. Only after being ground by red dust, faced with all kinds of choices, experienced various The consequences can truly know their nature."
"But master, is it good to kill? Or not to kill?" Shi Xuan asked all outside disciples questions.
Mo Yuan turned his back and looked into the distance: "Seeing nature is merit, equality is virtue. Under heaven and earth, all natures are equal, and there is no one who has no way to go. , In your thoughts, there is no difference between good, evil, and obscenity, only the difference between perseverance and nature."
Seeing Shi Xuan puzzled, Mo Yuan did not answer directly, but took the topic to the other side: "Look at this avenue, the road is wide, the surrounding trees are shaded, and the trail is grotesque. , Coiling around the dangerous cliff, with poisonous snakes and beasts on it. Which one is the way to live?"
"I don't know." Shi Xuan could only answer that.
Mo Yuan used a technique, and the landscape of the mountain appeared right in front of him. The road disappeared after reaching a cliff. Although the trail was extremely dangerous, it continued to stretch beyond the mountain. Is a thoroughfare.
"Master, do you want to tell me, don't you give up the road of monasticism because of difficulties and dangers?" Shi Xuan could only think of this.
"The reason is good, but it is not what I want to tell you now. Look at some roads on this mountain." Mo Yuan pointed to another mountain, with one avenue and three trails, the details are the same as before .
Mo Yuan did not wait for Shi Xuan to answer, but it was another beckoning. The landscape of this mountain appeared clearly in front of him. However, unlike the previous one, the three paths were all dead roads, and only that avenue was the thoroughfare.
"For different mountain peaks, the avenue may be a dead road or a living road, the same is true for the small road. Then killing and not killing, for people of different natures, it is natural that killing is a living road, and not killing is a dead road. , It is also possible that killing is a dead end, and not killing is a living way."
Shi Xuan looked at Mo Yuan and wanted to know what he wanted to explain.
"The same is true in the cultivation of the mind, there are various ways for you to choose. For different people, this person may be dead, and that person may be alive, or vice versa. You If you don't finish, you never know whether the choice is good or bad. What should you use as the basis for your choice?" Mo Yuan glanced at Shi Xuan lightly.
Shi Xuan thought for a while: "According to one's own heart and nature."
"This is what the teacher wants to explain. Everyone’s heart and nature are different, there are good and bad, but as long as you choose a path that suits your own nature, you can hope to be a god, not high. The next point." Mo Yuan's tone came to a conclusion.
"In many of these thousands of worlds, there are people who kill their fathers, mothers, brothers, brothers, wives, and sons, kill all their lives, achieve the killing avenue, and finally create a world, and also create a world for the sake of their wives and children. After his reincarnation, he made rapid advances, and in a short time he proved to be a man of nature. Can you say which of them is higher and which is lower?" Mo Yuan pointed to the two of the twenty-seven brightest stars in the starry sky, these two The stars appear and disappear at the time, and are not as good as other ordinary stars. They are now brighter than the other 22 stars. There are five such stars in total.
Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of breath: "The question before that, Master, you mean killing or not killing, there is no difference, just see if you can point directly at your own nature."
Mo Yuan nodded as if satisfied.
"But, Master, if I found out that my nature would kill my relatives, friends, and mentors in the future, would you treat me equally according to the principle of equality and virtue?" Shi Xuan felt very contradictory.
Mo Yuan turned his head to take a deep look at Shi Xuan, and then pulled a corner of his mouth, actually showing a smile: "Naturally, before you cultivate more than a teacher, you will be killed by a thunder."
"Ah?!" This answer is beyond the expectation of Shi Xuan, and also saw Mo Yuan's smile for the first time.
Mo Yuan’s smile quickly converged and changed to the cold-faced, cold-faced expression: "I was talking about Heavenly Path, but now the problem is humane, and the teacher hasn’t let others kill themselves and complete others’ path. Way's compassionate heart."
"But..." Shi Xuan was somewhat contradictory.
"Tian Dao is not good for good or evil for self-cultivation, as long as you can see your nature, you can see the way of Yuanshen, but humanity is for others, it is also anti Come and influence yourself, no master is willing to take over his own disciples in the future, and no disciple will truly worship the apprentice to the master who has practiced the magic weapon some day. Other humanitarian relations are similar. At the same time, on the other hand, it is difficult for the monks who are extremely fierce and plundering everywhere to reach the Yuanshen Avenue, because all the enemies in the world, shouting and killing, may fall far higher than other monks." Yuan tells the difference between heaven and humanity in detail.
Seeing that Shi Xuan was somewhat enlightened, Mo Yuan added another sentence: "So those monks whose nature is'kill' will have a harder time than normal monks in the future, but they can be killed from this road, That’s the kind of person who can’t be sniffed from, and you can’t be too careful after encountering it.”
"But master, then why is the nature so different, can it change the nature?" Shi Xuan felt that this kind of good can only be good, and the bad way can only be bad. It is too horrible.
Mo Yuan said lightly: "This is the basis of our Taoist practice. Everything in this universe, from the stars in the world to the ants of the dust, are all derived from the "Tao", but they are only contaminated by the acquired. Gradually deviating from the original face, the process of cultivation is to remove the acquired contamination, return to the nature, and approach the'Dao'. However, in this process, the Buddha is talking about the nature of the mind, and physical training is only the cultivation of the windproof and rainproof skin. ; Daomen is the world where the teaching method is closest to the "Tao", and then cooperate with the cultivation of the mind. Of course, the two must finally condense the Dao species to fit the body."
"'Tao' has no distinction between good and evil, but there are good and evil, rainwater nourishes everything is good, and flooding is evil, and so on, the nature of the Tao comes naturally different."
"But since the "Tao" itself has no distinction between good and evil, its good and evil essences are one, and they can be transformed at will, so there is a way to change the nature. One is to use the precepts to slowly correct the nature and make it towards The transformation of goodness, the second is through the reincarnation, accepting the contamination of goodness in the purest baby, thereby transforming into goodness. Both are non-perseverance people who cannot succeed~IndoMTL.com~ For example, the latter, there are senior monks who borrowed treasures to reincarnate ten Secondly, with the merits of the tenth good man, the nature of goodness was achieved. However, in the end, the ultimate point of practicing the nature of mind is to be able to transform the nature at will to correspond to different things and different things, just like the "Tao."
"I understand a little bit." Shi Xuan understood.
Mo Yuan nodded and said: "You just have a general impression, but now you don’t have to think about it. It’s not too late to think about these issues when you are on Jindan. For Jindan Avenue, it still has to fall on Be firm, keep your heart, and stick to the road, but this heart refers to the choice of the road, not the nature's heart."
Shixuan respectfully and honestly said: "Remember disciples."
Mo Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "I just forgot to give you a track number, but I don’t have to look at my preferences. My generation is spirit, and my track number is Lingyu, but it is Not commonly used. Your generation is a god, and the track number is called Tianxuan. Remember to report it to Brother Lingxing."
After finishing the speech, Mo Yuan waved his hand: "Go down. Go to Tianya Haijiaolou to choose a practice and a sacrificial practice. For the teacher to see you choose the wind-based practice, if you are practicing If you don’t feel any hindrance, the practice of "The Real Explanation of Tianhe Liuhe Shenfeng" should be suitable for you."
"Yes. But Master, you haven't answered the disciple yet, why did you accept the disciple as a disciple, is it really because you answered "I don't know"?" Shi Xuan was very puzzled about this question.
"Well, at this stage, it is not appropriate to make any choices. If they all see their nature at this stage, then what else do they have to cultivate for the teacher, it’s alright to worship them." Said.
Although Mo Yuan’s explanation was far-fetched, Shi Xuan didn’t dare to ask more, worship him farewell, and set up Jianguang to fly to Tianshu Peak.
