He had a new understanding. The most brilliant Taoist formulas are often the simplest ones, and anyone can gain something from them. The Taoist master imparts the Dharma to save sentient beings, and will not set a threshold above it to prevent people from attaining the Tao.
The ultimate path is speechless, just like the sun and moon, one can pick up its brilliance when one looks down.
"The Bodhi tree should be here." Shen Lian made a judgment in his mind.
But no matter whether he used his eyes or his thoughts, he found that there was nothing nearby.
That's why it appears strange.
The tranquil Zen mood is deep and far-reaching, but Shen Lian's thinking is not as sharp as usual in this environment. Those Zen thoughts were like dull knives, slowly dulling his thinking and gradually making him less sensitive to the perception of the outside world.
Shen Lian walked to the merit monument and touched the first stroke of the word "Gong" with his finger. The frosted touch exuded the immortal true Buddha nature, and then his fingertips hurt.
It turned out that the frosting on Daowen actually cut the skin of his index finger, causing blood to flow out.
What a sharp Dharma nature, hidden in the merit monument, it was able to damage his Dharma body.
The finger was retracted and the wound was immediately closed, but a faint golden scar could be seen vaguely, which was an indelible mark of Buddhism.
Shen Lian visualized himself, and the heavenly spirit surged out with rolling black water, washing away the limbs and bones, and finally swallowed up the immortal Buddhist dharma. The faint golden scars disappeared, and the whole person returned to its former upright and extraordinary appearance.
Only the three broken souls still need time to recover.
However, since the roots of the soul that could be cultivated in the past are still there, it can be quickly restored after spending some time.
He is not worried that his moral conduct will be greatly damaged at this moment, what a sinister thing it is.
In the game with the Taoist master, strength is by no means the key to victory or defeat, and wisdom is not the decisive factor. The most important thing is the heart.
"Subhuti, how can I conquer my heart?" Shen Lian said softly, his voice floating on the pool without making any waves. The merit monument is silent and silent, with eternal Dharma flowing out.
Shen Lian's eyes suddenly trembled, and he hugged the merit monument with both hands.
Infinite mana was poured into his hands at this moment, and he could hold even billions of stars in his arms. But at this moment, he only felt extremely heavy. The solemn and vast Dharma made this stone tablet weigh beyond imagination.
As if he was embracing the entire Pure Land of Paradise, Shen Lian felt pressure that he had never experienced before in his life.
He is not a person who gives in easily, does not roar, and constantly explores his potential.
However, the weight of the stone monument has also increased. The more Shen Lian's potential is released, the heavier the stone monument will become.
Shen Lian was not depressed, and the Lingtai seemed to have opened an eternal source of energy, constantly injecting fresh vitality into him. His current situation was actually like that of Ksitigarbha's dry yellow spring, both of which were accomplishing a feat that no one else could understand.
The weight of the merit monument that adorns the Pure Land is the entire Pure Land, which is no lighter than the weight of the human world.
The saint can carry hell on his back, and he can also support heaven with his spine.
Keep exerting your strength, and the source of the soul will never dry up. If no one has ever been able to defeat the Taoist, let's start with him.
This is a contest of wills, hope rising from despair.
With Shen Lian's unreserved efforts and the most ardent source of life, the merit monument was literally pulled out of the sand inch by inch. As the thousands of miles of yellow sand shook, the pool rippled in circles, and the entire land here began to sink.
In an instant, Shen Lian fell into all his perceptions. At the last moment, the merit monument suddenly burst out with more terrifying power, cutting off the source of his soul.
When Shen Lian regained consciousness, he was surrounded by boundless nothingness.
This situation is similar to the land of nothing, but it is different.
There is no land where all things can grow, but here is true emptiness and annihilation.
He was still holding the merit stele in his arms, and the Buddha nature inside was much dim. It was obvious that Shen Lian's previous confrontation had caused almost devastating damage to the stele that was suspected to be made by Amitabha.
The Shen Ling Ling Platform reflected back on itself, exuding the radiance of spirituality, illuminating the surroundings, and was soon swallowed up by darkness.
You can't see the sky from above, you can't touch the ground below, and there is no time to pass by, and loneliness will always follow you.
"Wu Jian." Shen Lian quickly thought of these two words in his mind. He must have fallen into Wu Jian.
Wujian is the most cruel hell. Once you fall into it, you will never be able to get out of it. The most terrifying thing is that this kind of near-eternal imprisonment will be unbearable by any living being.
In the land of nothing, powerful gods and demons can also open up caves and create birds, beasts, insects, fish, and other spiritual creatures to relieve boredom. But in the endless world, emptiness and annihilation is the eternal theme.
Shen Lian tried to use the divine channel technique, but it didn't work as it should at all.
This is not only the greatest danger he has encountered in his life, but it is also the most difficult to solve.
When his magical power has no effect at all, what is the difference between Shen Lian and the other living beings in the sea of suffering? The Buddhist teaching that all living beings are equal seems to have been verified again at this moment.
After all, Shen Lian is still a member of all sentient beings, not the Taoist Buddha.
If he hadn't come to look for the bodhi tree, would things have happened now? The answer is no. Regret was growing, but Shen Lian didn't stop it.
It seems that in this lonely environment, even the negative emotion of regret has become a rare life adjustment.
It is impossible for people to live in regret forever. There is no timeless passage of time, and there is no difference between a moment and eternity. Shen Lian clearly felt the decay, desolation, and loneliness of the spiritual platform.
All the negative emotions that had arisen after arriving here also disappeared, and he didn't even know what meaning he had at this moment.
So he began to recall the past, and the memories gradually disappeared in the memories, like weathered rocks.
The vastness of the universe and the infinity of the human world are no different from dust in the infinite.
If the heart is the world, then in the infinite, the world of the heart is also dust.
Shen Lian's memory gradually disappeared. If he had no memory, would he still be Shen Lian? The answer is yes. Because he has already experienced this kind of thing and has no memory, he is still Shen Lian and will not change.
The evidence of a person's existence in the world is definitely not memory, so what is it.
Shen Lian naturally began to grasp the most critical things.
His original form was getting more and more withered, like a mummy that was about to weather, but now his flesh and blood gradually became fuller, and his whole body was covered with a thin layer of brilliance.
This kind of brilliance is like the patina of an antique. It exudes charming charm over time.
The same is true for Shen Lian's spiritual light. It won't disappear, but will gradually grow.
He couldn't tell what the source of the aura was. Maybe it was ancestral nature, maybe it was trueness, or maybe it was nothing at all.
