Dedicate One’s Mind

Chapter 1223 Vow and Willing Power

The Forty-Cross Mantra: I wish to use this merit to adorn the Buddha’s Pure Land; to repay the fourfold kindness to others and to relieve the hardships of the three paths; to indulge in all sentient beings and develop bodhicitta; to fulfill this Sambhogakaya, and to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Wu Yi can still understand the first four sentences of the mantra, but the last two sentences, that is, "Indulge in all sentient beings and arouse bodhicitta", literally means becoming one with all sentient beings and giving kindness to everyone without distinction. people.

Wu Yi has been unable to get started because he doesn't really agree with it from the bottom of his heart. People are divided into good and evil, and animals are divided into good and evil. Wu Yi hates some vicious people from the bottom of his heart and cannot be shaken without thunderbolt means. How is it possible for Wu Yi to be gentle to these people?

There is a saying in Buddhism that Buddha cut meat to feed tigers, and Bodhisattva transformed into a woman to teach gangsters, but Wu Yi did not take it seriously. Since he has no empathy, how can he understand it.

Since entering the world of cultivation, Wu Yi's knowledge has become wider and wider, his understanding of the logic of the world's operation has become clearer, and he has recognized the nature of the world, but the kind thoughts in his heart have become less and less.

It is meaningless to discuss whether Wu Yi was changed by the outside world or whether he consciously adapted to this issue. At least the character has been established and is difficult to change.

Wu Yi had thought before that since he had been unable to understand the mantra, he was not destined for this method, so there was no need to force it.

Now listening to the words of the Chaos Divine Beast, Wu Yi suddenly realized that if he wanted to master this method, he might not necessarily need to follow the established path.

Buddhist preaching does not rely entirely on persuading others to join in with words, but often involves force and coercion. Can we still say that force and coercion are sentient beings and have bodhicitta?

"Use thunderbolt means to follow the heart of a Bodhisattva, that's all!" A voice suddenly came from Wu Yi's ear, and it was clear to his ears, but the voice was vague, and he didn't know who said it.

The inner demon body subconsciously looked at the Chaos Divine Beast. The other person looked blank, as if it had nothing to do with him, but at this moment, who else would mention this matter in his ears?

If you have a Bodhisattva heart, then you will act with thunderbolt means, your hands will be full of blood. You are also a kind person. Killing is not necessarily evil.

Because many times, there are trade-offs. He talks about saving everyone in the world, but in the end no one can be saved. This is hypocrisy.

In Buddhism, there is also a theory of subduing demons. Killing a demon is to kill a living being, which is contrary to the teachings, but it is to save the majority of people. In this way, killing a demon is not only not evil, but a good thing.

So in other words, as long as the original intention is to save all sentient beings, even if you behave like a demon, it is okay. What Wu Yi doesn't know is that he is walking towards the path of Hinayana Buddhism. If he wants to save the world, he must first save himself.

The mind is clear and the heart is clear, and the inner demon body conveys this understanding to the human body, and then, the body is surrounded by clear light, as if a silent spring is surrounding it.

This light, in Buddhism, is called the light of great wisdom. It may not be this color, but it gives people the same feeling, which is the feeling of great enlightenment.

"It's funny, I can actually have an epiphany at this time." Taotie on one side didn't think it was a big deal, and looked like he was watching a show.

After the crux in his heart was relieved, he chanted the mantra "Indulge in all sentient beings and arouse bodhicitta". A feeling of universal salvation came out, and a hazy circle circled the back of Wu Yi's head, just like the reincarnation of the Buddha. .

With a compassionate heart, as if being cared for by gods and Buddhas, the energy and spirit are condensed unprecedentedly, and the magic power is increased several times. In the past, many magical powers and techniques could not be used, but now they are like clouds and flowing water, without any obstruction.

Buddhism cultivates the mind. When your wishes are strong, you will be so powerful. Therefore, many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have made great vows to achieve the results of their merits. For example, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s classic vow is, “To make the future complete.” Tribulation, save all sinful beings in the six realms!"

Wu Yi is just a beginner now, and compared with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's oath, he is like clouds and mud. But no matter what, you need to have your own vows.

"Whenever I gain enlightenment, I will transform all living beings in the world, so that all living beings will not suffer from the catastrophe!" The person secretly thought in his heart, and as soon as he made the oath, the precious light around his body rotated, and the golden Buddha's light formed a round wheel behind his head, gathering from all directions. Willingness gives Wu Yi great power.

The illusion created by Qiongqi Hair was wiped out in the face of this power in just a few breaths and before he could even scream.

Did Wu Yi succeed in breaking through? Obviously not. If Qiongqi is selected as the human being, if he cannot get Qiongqi's approval, it will not be considered a success.

The illusion was extinguished, and a wave appeared in the eyes of the Qiongqi beast. It didn't know whether it was happy or angry, and it let out a long roar. The sound wave stirred up the surroundings, and the space also produced ripples, as if it was about to break apart at any time.

Qiongqi didn't use any other means, spread his wings, and carried the billowing evil energy, sweeping half of the sky. He came close to the person, raised his giant palm, and slapped it down through the air. He actually wanted to do it himself.

Qiongqi was born as a divine beast, even at the same level, his strength is much higher than that of a human being. What's more, Wu Yi is still fighting against the enemy, so when this palm falls, the surrounding space is shattered into pieces. There was a spider web, and I don’t know where the body was taken.

This blow, before the mana burst out, no one expected that Qiongqi Divine Beast would use all its strength to attack without any hesitation. Taotie originally said that he was watching a show, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but shout: "Is this guy... crazy!"

After saying that, Taotie was about to enter the turbulent flow of time and space to find his body, but the chaotic beast stopped him and said: "There is no rush yet."

"It's not urgent. If you go out and look for it now, you might be able to find it. If you apply the elixir, you might be able to save it. If you don't look for it, it will be lost!"

"Do you see this person panicking?" The Chaos Divine Beast glanced at the inner demon body and said somewhat speechlessly. Since the human body and the inner demon body are one body, he himself is not in a hurry, so why are you panicking?

"Maybe he was scared to death!" Taotie curled his lips and said.

I don’t know if it’s because of the formation eye here, but the space is repaired much faster than in other realms. After a while, the space that was shattered like a spider web was restored to the same state as before.

Qiongqi didn't stop, and moved his palm towards the corner of the void again. The surging power poured down, directly creating an extremely terrifying black hole, swallowing everything in all directions.

And inside this black hole, a little light can still be seen vaguely. Judging from the aura, it is obviously a human body. The power of Buddhist vows protects him and he is not seriously injured.
