Chapter 5: No Phase Has Been Accomplished(1/2)
Bodhi Patriarch had long known that the stone monkey had not seriously thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.
Recently, he has been unrestrained and his nature has been exposed, but he has practiced the formless method to a certain extent.
The ancestor was so happy that he was too late.
As for other disciples, they can be said to be rotten wood that cannot be carved. If the stone monkey's storytelling is distracted, they will not be destined to become a great climate in the future.
"Gookong."
The ancestor stood up and put on his clothes: "Go out for a walk."
He took the stone monkey out of the room and walked in the mountains under the night.
Following the forest path, the two climbed a cliff.
The breeze comes gently, and the moon is as bright as water.
"You have seen through my secret mystery, and I will teach you another spell."
The ancestor admired the night and suddenly said, "What do you want to learn?"
Shihou hurriedly replied: "Master, I want to learn the way of immortality."
"The Way of Eternal Life?"
A flash of light flashed across the ancestor's eyes, and then he stroked his long beard: "This is not difficult for you."
The ancestor did not refuse, and although he did not refuse, he did not teach the Tao to the stone monkey as the book said.
"You have a demon in your heart and you must defeat him. Only then can I teach you."
The ancestor reminded the stone monkey.
The stone monkey frowned slightly: "Master, I don't have any inner demons."
"Everyone's eyes are shorter than one's own vision."
The ancestor turned around and said, "You have too many secrets hidden in your heart. Now the Dharma image has gradually become formed, and the demons in your heart arise."
When he saw that the stone monkey didn't believe it, the Buddha dust waved and a fluttering black mist flew out of the stone monkey.
The black mist hovered in the air, and then condensed into a stone monkey sitting cross-legged on the lotus.
"Huh!"
The ancestor was surprised.
Even he didn't expect that the stone monkey's inner demon was actually a Buddha demon.
The stone monkey looked up at the black mist. The inner demon looked exactly the same as his, but his eyes were full of Buddha nature.
Shihou immediately understood that this inner demon was the idea of being denied by him.
"The Buddha's holy heart can save all sentient beings."
The inner demon suddenly spoke, "You should have become a Buddha."
What kind of inner demon is this that actually persuades people to become Buddhas.
"Good level, wit!"
The ancestor couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
His disciple is really committed to goodness, otherwise how could he have such a demon?
The stone monkey was also a little surprised and shook her head.
"The demons in this world are raging, and people are like grass, saving all living beings, and you should speak nonsense."
He disagrees with the demon.
The inner demon's eyes sank and he spoke again.
"Your heart is higher than Buddha, but you have thousands of knots and no solution."
"Let me ask you, if you want a demon to not eat people, then the demon must not kill people. How can a man not kill? How can this knot be resolved?"
The inner demon asked the stone monkey, and the stone monkey's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
This retreat revealed a flaw, and the inner demon took advantage of the situation and then penetrated into the stone monkey's body.
The stone monkey fainted on the ground.
The ancestor failed to stop him and could only shake his head and sigh.
What the inner demon said is extraordinary, which shows that this disciple has ambitions in his heart, and his ambitions are so high that it is terrifying.
The ancestor bent down and stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to lift the stone monkey up, he found that the black air on his body was entangled and he could no longer move.
The ancestor then set up a barrier and turned around and went back to the house.
The next day, the ancestor told his disciples that the stone monkey was being punished behind closed doors.
All the disciples gloat and not mention the misfortune for the time being, but the ancestor couldn't stop thinking. The monkey's question about demons and humans was afraid there was no answer to it.
The more the ancestor thinks, the more wrong it becomes. People kill animals and monsters eat people. That is a cycle of heaven and law and there is no way to stop it. I am afraid that even the Buddha cannot answer.
"The monkey is in danger..."
The ancestor thought to himself.
If you cannot answer the inner demon, the stone monkey will never wake up again.
Three days later, the ancestor came to the cliff again.
At that time, the moon was in the sky, and the stone monkey suddenly opened its eyes, and its eyes reflected a deep starry sky, but it was as clear as a child, without any pollution.
When the ancestor saw it, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Wukong, your inner demon has been eliminated."
He repeatedly asked, "What is the answer?"
Shihou stood up and saluted to the ancestor: "The disciple has never reached the answer."
The ancestor was stunned.
"How did the inner demon disappear?"
"Master once said that Hongmeng's original nature was not natural, and he wanted to break the stubborn and obscene way."
Shihou replied: "Disciple found that blindly pursuing the answer will never end and will be of no use."
The ancestor looked at the stone monkey and was stunned for a long time before laughing.
He understood.
This is a big problem between heaven and earth. How many sages, immortals and Buddhas are involved and will never escape.
But this monkey is good. He is free and easy by nature, breaks his obsession, escapes from the problem itself, and directly removes his obsession.
Once the obsession is gone, the inner demon will naturally disappear.
"The problem is not solved, and the mediocre people disturb it."
The ancestor shook his head. He became a mediocre person this time.
"Wukong, can you let it go?"
The ancestor asked.
"no."
The stone monkey shook her head, and there seemed to be a light flashing in her eyes.
"There is no solution to a thousand knots, but there is a way in the end, which will allow me to get the answer."
The ancestor was shocked and looked at the stone monkey again.
"I can't do it!"
The ancestor thought.
Shihou thought he had not got the answer, but the ancestor thought he had let go, but he didn't expect that Shihou had already got a better answer.
The so-called great way is simple, and great wisdom is like foolish. This is what it means.
"Wukong, you are dedicated to goodness, and I am happy."
The ancestor sat cross-legged on the cliff and suddenly whispered softly.
"The true and wonderful secret of the perfect enlightenment of exoteric and esoteric Buddhism is to cherish the cultivation of life without any other words.
Always be energetic and energetic, be careful and secure to keep it safe and don’t leak.
Don’t leak and hide it in your body. You will be prosperous after receiving my preaching.
The mantra is very beneficial to remember, and it will help you to get rid of evil and want to be cool.
It is cool and bright, so that you can enjoy the bright moon from Dantai.
The moon hides jade rabbits hide black hairs on the sun, and the tortoises and snakes are bound together.
The image is bound, and life is strong, but golden lotus can be planted in the fire.
