Facing Yan Ze'an's question, the 53 demon-Buddha monks stood straight without any embarrassment. The leading monk, Faye, put his hands together and praised the Buddha first: "Namo Kasyapa Tathagata Buddha." Then he said to Yan Ze'an: "We have different methods of practice. We have a magical power called "subduing demons." This magical power of subduing demons is actually focused on some lives that are invisible and invisible, and neither exist nor non-exist. It has an extremely excellent ability to subdue them. In fact, the name of the non-thinking world comes from Buddhist scriptures. In Buddhist scriptures, the illusory world is called the non-thinking world, which actually means the same thing."
Hmm? Yan Ze'an suddenly looked up and looked at Faye, his eyes shining. These few simple words made Yan Ze'an see a more complex world behind.
Yan Ze'an said slowly, word by word, "The term 'Non-thinking Realm' is a name that appeared a million years ago during the process of sealing the Five Elements Spirit Realm. It is said that the Non-thinking Realm was discovered because people were going to the Ninth Heaven to look for the Heavenly River Water and the Three Heavens Divine Wind. But the contact was too brief at the time, leaving only a little information about illusions and a name 'Non-thinking Realm'. But a million years ago, the Holy Land and the Immortal Realm had no contact."
Faye's face also became serious: "These days, I have also been thinking about this problem. The name of the non-thinking world is by no means a random idea. The word "non-thinking" should come from the sentence "neither thinking nor non-thinking" in the Buddhist scriptures. This is a state of mind that Buddhism pursues. If we use the thought of your Shang country to explain it, it is - it is thought of inadvertently, in a flash of inspiration, not actively thought of, but helpful for the present. All of this is "neither thinking nor non-thinking". Legend has it that the Buddha suddenly realized and looked at the three thousand worlds. There are thirty-three heavens in the world of life, named Trayastrimsa Heaven, which is the foundation of Buddhism. There are thirty-three heavens in the world of death, named Yama Heaven. There are thirty-three heavens in the world of neither birth nor death, named Nirmanarati. There are thirty-three heavens in the world of neither existence nor non-existence, named Self-reliant Heaven. There are also the Brahma Heaven, the Great Brahma Heaven, the Lesser Light Heaven and other worlds... Blah blah blah..."
Yan Ze'an felt dizzy after listening to this new and completely different theory. His eyes were spinning. But he still listened to everything carefully and finally came to a conclusion: Faye had said so much just to explain that the name "Non-thinking Realm" came from Buddhist scriptures and it was a part of a certain day in the thirty-three heavens of neither existence nor non-existence.
Well, this is also an exaggeration of the influence of Buddhism - it is big enough, we are involved in the three thousand worlds. Yan Ze'an is extremely skeptical about these claims.
Finally, Faye said, "Since the name 'Non-thinking Realm' appeared here a million years ago, I think there must have been Mahayana Buddhist practitioners in the fairyland at that time. Unfortunately, we no longer know what the situation was like back then. Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes saving all living beings, even at the cost of one's life, but keeping one's achievements secret. I'm afraid we can no longer know the true situation of this master; perhaps, he has passed away in the mountains."
As he spoke, there seemed to be a light of admiration and respect in the depths of Faye's eyes.
Yan Ze'an calmly analyzed everything and could only confirm that what Faye said made sense, but the details still needed to be analyzed. Shang State was a society ruled by law, which, to some extent, also affected Yan Ze'an's judgment and way of thinking.
