Chapter 16 Practice according to the Dharma
"The so-called Dharma, with teachings, practices, and verifieds, is the Dharma," the master added.
"Qingli doesn't understand what teaching is, what cultivation is, and what certification is. Please give me advice!" Qingli has a desire to learn.
“There is a teaching: it means learning the Three Collections and Twelve Classics;
Practice: means that the disciples can practice according to the law;
There is a proof: it is to completely eliminate the delusions of life and death, be able to achieve saints, be able to escape from life and death, and finally become a Buddha or attain the Hinayana Arhat fruit, or be able to attain the holy position Bodhisattva and supreme Bodhisattva. At present, we have another convenient method, which is to rely on our own mental power to practice, and at the same time we must also rely on the Buddha's vows." The masters taught Qingli.
"Master, did you use this convenient method when you were last time you were reborn?" Qing Li suddenly realized
"Yes, Qingli, the last time you were saved was that you rely on your own mental power and the help of the Bodhisattva's vows to communicate with each other. Amitabha Buddha led these sentient beings to the Western Paradise. This is because you rely on your mental power to transform the Bodhisattvas and make sentient beings born on the lotus, so that I can be kind and guided." The master's explanation made Qingli understand more clearly how to use the mental power.
"Qingli, judging from your injury this time, the masters think that you should teach you how to practice. For you who are just accumulating merit, you cannot deal with danger when encountering danger. The masters think that you are accumulating merit while practicing, which is good?" The masters brought the topic back to the issue of concerning Qingli.
"The masters are considerate. I must practice well and protect the Dharma better in the future! I need to be strong! Please tell me how to practice!" Qingli asked the masters to teach.
"Why does this little girl feel a lot tougher this time? She suffered a loss and became even tougher. She also began to feel the protection of the Dharma! It's different from her before."
"Good things, aren't we just here to teach her how to become stronger? Haha"
You said, he said, the masters who were originally quiet and never talked much began to feel a little excited at this time, and they were all relieved that Qingli had matured a lot.
"Qingli is currently in the late stage of foundation building. This time you were injured, the Taoist priest contributed a lot of merit to you, so you have let you skip the middle stage of foundation building. What you have to do now is to meditate and find your own spiritual consciousness. If you find your own spiritual consciousness, you will start to learn how to practice your spiritual consciousness." The masters told Qingli how to enter the primary stage of practice.
"Qing Li understands, thank you, masters!" Qing Li was a little excited and started practicing by himself!
"Qingli your spiritual consciousness has six stages: the ability to see the heavenly eye, the ability to see the heavenly ear, the ability to see the divine feet, the ability to see the mind, the ability to see the fate, and the ability to see the end of the leakage. This supernatural power is an inconceivable power obtained through practice of meditation. You must remember that supernatural power cannot defeat karma, karma is the greatest power in the world. Supernatural power cannot violate cause and effect. Supernatural powers are actually not necessarily possessed by Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc. Supernatural powers can be said to fill the Dharma realm and fill the void. There are various natural changes everywhere in life. This is also supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are seeking in terms of physical and physical appearance. Supernatural powers are limited. Only the truth of emptiness and nothingness can have infinite wonderful uses. Qingli, remember, you should not be obsessed with supernatural powers. You need to practice selflessness."
"Qingli remembers the teachings of his masters. I will first practice meditation and find my own spiritual consciousness."
"In this Saha world, Qingli can only rely on you to practice. We will give you some help to help you practice. You will slowly encounter those who help you. Go back, relatives and friends are going to see you." After hearing the advice of the masters, Qingli had already woken up from his dream. It was just dawn, and Xu Hua took care of her all night, so sleepy that he crawled beside her bed and fell asleep. Qingli got up and gently put his clothes on Xu Hua. This silly boy actually guarded himself for a night. It seems that he has worked hard all night.
