The time it takes to sink into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is not long, but to stay in Eternal Bliss, just based on the feeling, it is not an exaggeration to say that it lasts for hundreds of millions of years. But now he is refreshed and refreshed, with no trace of time and energy, and his whole person is full of vitality.
That is naturally related to the bodhi tree.
If others witnessed Shen Lian's experience in the Paradise, they might be confused. From beginning to end, Shen Lian had never seen the Bodhi tree. How could his current change be related to the Bodhi tree.
Only Shen Lian himself understands this.
There is a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures that says very clearly, "The Tathagata speaks of sentient beings, not sentient beings, but named sentient beings." In fact, there is a similar saying in the Tao Te Ching: names can be named, but they are not named.
This statement may sound vague, but in essence, it is just to erase the external confusion of things and understand the essence.
This is because humans cannot see the world without form without seeing mountains, rivers, plants, trees, insects, and fish. However, apart from form, it is difficult to explain what the essence is, that is, the Daluo realm.
Therefore, someone once said, "Bodhi has no tree." Of course, he can only say this because he has a deep understanding of the origin of the Tao.
Shen Lian truly understood this truth, so he saw Bodhi.
I also understood one of the characteristics of the Taoist, which is the appearance of all living beings. The Buddha said that all living beings have true Buddhahood, but if the Bodhisattva Master said, then all living beings are Bodhisattvas.
Both Bodhi and Zhenru can be said to be the essence of all things, and they can also be said to be the true Tao. Just like stars traveling across the heavens and apples falling to the ground, they are all manifestations of the essence of the Great Dao.
If one day Shen Lian becomes a Taoist master, it can be said that all living beings are Shen Lian.
Because of this, Shen Lian became more aware of the Taoist master's unpredictable power, and the joy he felt before in pulling out the merit monument was diluted a lot. Of course, he was even more grateful for the experience of falling into Wujian. If it hadn't been for a special environment like Wujian, which wiped away all external confusion, including the barriers to knowledge and vision imposed by Taoism and magical powers, Shen Lian might not have been able to achieve enlightenment so easily.
Because of this, Shen Lian's thinking is much clearer at this moment than at any time in the past. The three destroyed souls are continuing to grow with the remaining roots. It won't be long before he can restore his old outlook.
It stands to reason that Shen Lian should find a place to retreat slowly and comprehend the way of heaven. When he comes out after completing his merits, he will naturally become truly invincible. But he can't do that, just because there are always natural and man-made disasters that people cannot avoid in this world.
Unless one is detached, there will inevitably be causes and effects that involve the world, making people unable to be pure.
Therefore, Shen Lian understood that the Taoist master's detachment had both a helpless and inevitable side.
It's just that where the Taoist has been after his transcendence, and what he has experienced after being eternally free, that is definitely not what he can understand now.
He is still in the world, and he still has to practice worldly laws and do worldly things.
Shen Lian quickly set foot in the heaven, strolling leisurely. If there is any difference between the Xuandu Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Realm of the Emperor and Heavenly Emperor in the past, it is just that it lacks the weight of some years. As for the majesty of the Immortal Way, it can be said to be even worse, but the talents are indeed not as prosperous as the Emperor and Heavenly Emperor.
Xuandu was the disciple of the Supreme Being, and he was also a ruthless person at heart. Therefore, the Heavenly Palace was lonely and cold. As soon as people came in, they would forget their past feelings, just like the ruthless grass and trees. However, when it comes to the rules of heaven, they are looser than those of the Emperor of Heaven. This originates from the thought of Taishang Wuwei.
In general, there are good and bad things in heaven at this time, but it is also a good place for the immortals and Buddhas in the world.
Although Xuandu is a little aloof, he is not a tyrannical person after all. It is not a coincidence that he can reach the state he is today. As Shen Lian walked slowly, he made a fair evaluation of his opponent who could barely catch his eye.
The heavy security of the Heavenly Palace was like paper in Shen Lian's eyes, and could be broken with just one poke. Shen Lian did not hide his presence at all, and was even more domineering than when the monkeys made trouble in the palace.
On the way to the Eight Views Palace, there was no enemy at all.
He just blew a gentle breath, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers dispersed.
They were heavenly weapons made by Xuandu using the method of sowing beans into soldiers. They were used to enhance the majesty of the heaven. They were enough to deal with Taiyi True Immortal. In Shen Lian's eyes, they were indeed far from enough.
What fell in Shen Lian's eyes now was the Bajing Palace.
The Eight Views Palace is surrounded by empty Yunjin. It seems a little lonely here. Of course, it can also be described as being isolated from the world.
But for the Supreme Being who created the Eight Views Palace, good and bad words don't matter to him.
When the Supreme Emperor built the Eight Views Palace, he probably just wanted to create a place to rest, and had no other profound intentions. It is a bit more difficult for Shen Lian to enter the Bajing Palace than to enter the Pure Land of Paradise.
This is not to say that Taishang is more powerful than Amitabha, but it is just a matter of different decisions between the two supreme transcendent beings.
Amitabha opened the door for convenience, but the Supreme Being remained incommunicado until death.
The difference in meaning between the two families is naturally reflected in the things they create.
In the Bajing Palace, Yuding said to Yang Jian: "This is the Taoist temple after all. Once the palace door is closed, it is not easy for Shen Lian to break in easily. We only need to wait until Xuandu returns." "
Yang Jian looked at his master's expression and saw that he was still not confident, and thought to himself: "Since Uncle Xuandu has the Sanqing incarnation and has closed the Dao Palace tightly, maybe this can't stop Shen Lian for a while."
Since ancient times, the majesty of the Taoist master has been deeply implanted in the hearts of the disciples of the three religions. How tyrannical Sanxiao was at the beginning, but he was no match for the master's finger. Later, Taoist Duobao was a predecessor of the Buddha. In the end, he was wrapped up in a futon by the Supreme Being. The so-called supreme immortal in the world, in the final analysis, is In the eyes of the Taoist master, he may not be stronger than an ant.
Therefore, there is a saying in the world that is secretly circulated—under the Taoist Master, everyone is just an ant.
Since the Eight Scenery Palace was created by the Supreme Being, and there are Taoist prohibitions left by the Supreme Being, it should be no problem not to mention that it can cause harm to Shen Lian, but just block it. When Yang Jian and Yu Ding arrived inside, they were really reassured at first, but now Yang Jian, like the master, slowly began to feel worried.
Then he heard the sound of rushing water, which soon turned into a roaring sound.
The Eight Scenery Palace actually began to shake, and the two mysterious lights enshrined in the main hall began to flicker on and off.
Yuding and Yang Jian even heard the long Taoist song, which was not obscured by the sound of rumbling water.
"The poem is written on the fishing boat, wearing a straw hat and holding a fishing rod. I go deep into the blue waves, and there are several beaches. I am not a fisherman in the past, and I am destined to be a good person in the world. So this body is up to me, not to God. "
When Xuanyin enters, it seems to be engraved on the laws of the great road, making it unforgettable.
Until the last sentence, "So this body is up to me and not up to God", the picture of "Shen Lian riding a lone boat, swimming on the sea of suffering, leisurely and contented, no matter how fierce the storm is, is always safe", comes like a tide, teaches Yang Jian was shocked.
