Chapter 1568 Mahabodhi Temple
Although Xiao Lin was eager to go home, he also knew that there was no rush, so he simply calmed down and began to travel in this golden light area.
Xiao Lin has been practicing for less than 10,000 years and has a long life span. Even if he lives for tens of thousands of years, it is very common. In the past, he was either undergoing trials or practicing hard, but he rarely enjoyed life.
So Xiao Lin took Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei also shrunk his body and turned into a little black dog, wagging his tail and following Xiao Lin's butt, one man and one beast, and started traveling around the golden light field.
Although the Golden Light Territory is very wide, it is not a continent, but an isolated landmass hanging offshore. The reason why it is called a landmass and not a super island is because the northeast corner of the Golden Light Territory is connected to the Lonely Sun Continent.
More than ten years passed quickly.
During this period of time, Xiao Lin's footprints were almost all over the Golden Light Territory, he also visited many Buddhist temples and came into contact with some high-level and even top-level monks.
At the same time, I also have a certain understanding of Buddhism in the spiritual world.
Buddhist monks in the spiritual world are no different from the mortal world in terms of realm. They are also based on the five realms of first consciousness, great enlightenment, Buddha's light, Prajna, and cessation of cessation. All Buddhist monks who enter the realm of cessation are also named Buddhas. .
A monk in the Annihilation Realm is equivalent to the realm of the Divine Transformation Stage in the world of immortality.
The only Buddhist sect that is different from the Buddhist sect that Xiao Lin knew in the mortal world is the spiritual realm. After advancing to the realm of annihilation, the path of practice is divided into two types, one is the Bodhisattva Golden Body and the other is It is the golden body of Buddha.
Among them, the Bodhisattva Golden Body Attainment Stage cultivates the true Buddhist method of great aspirations, which emphasizes the purpose of saving all sentient beings from suffering and making great aspirations, thereby spreading faith, tempering the mind, and thus constantly improving one's own realm.
The Buddha is different. The Buddha followed the path of transcendence. Based on the Buddhist Vajra Meditation, he sharpened his heart, controlled the spirit with his heart, understood the great avenue of heaven and earth, and condensed the light of the golden Buddha.
Above the realm of annihilation, there is no specific division of realms. Buddhist monks are distinguished by the number of golden Buddha fruits. After advancing to the realm of annihilation, Buddhist monks will have golden light overflowing, forming a faint shadow behind their heads. The golden aperture, the Nirvana monk, only has a pale golden aperture.
As the realm continues to improve, the number of light golden halos behind the heads of Buddhist monks will gradually increase. A Buddhist monk with two light golden haloes is equivalent to the realm of the Void Refining Stage, and so on.
Although the Buddha's light cultivated by Buddhist monks will overflow when they reach a certain level, many Buddhist monks will also use some concealment methods to hide the golden Buddha fruit. Unless they reveal their golden bodies, they will not be revealed.
Xiao Lin also learned that once the Bodhisattva's golden body is achieved, he will return to the temple and practice Vajra Meditation. Therefore, the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are the same family, but their paths of practice are different, and they also represent different functions.
After all, a Buddhist monk needs a lot of faith to strengthen his soul, attain the golden body of Bodhisattva, teach all living beings, and make great aspirations, so that he can gain the worship of a large number of believers, and he will also introduce these beliefs into the Buddhist temple where he is located. The country provides support to all Buddhist monks in the monasteries and Buddhist countries.
Therefore, Buddhist monks in the realm of Nirvana are generally called One-Fruit Buddha or One-Fruit Bodhisattva, and then they are called Two-Fruit Buddha or Two-Fruit Bodhisattva.
But after the Buddha and the Bodhisattva advance to the Four Fruits Buddha and the Four Fruits Bodhisattvas, they are equivalent to the monks in the tribulation period in the world of immortality. At this time, they will face the first great tribulation of the Buddhist monks, which is the Nirvana kalpa. You will advance to the level of the Great Sun Buddha. The golden halo of Buddha light behind the head of the Great Sun Buddha will merge into one and turn into a golden sun in the shape of the Great Sun.
Whether it is supernatural power, golden body or meditation, they will reach an astonishing state, which is equivalent to a Mahayana monk in the world of immortality.
At the same time, Buddhist monks, like immortal cultivators, need to understand the great ways of heaven and earth and the three thousand rules. After advancing to the realm of the Great Sun Buddha, if they can perfect the rules they have understood, they will condense the golden body of the Great Sun. After condensing the golden body of the Great Sun, the skin can be shed, and the golden body can ascend to the fairy world.
At this point, it is easier than the immortal monks. After the immortal monks have perfected the power of rules, they still need to complete two steps. One is to condense the body of a semi-immortal, and the other is to integrate the soul with the power of rules. , thus physically ascending to the fairy world.
Although it seems easier for Buddhist monks to ascend, it is also relative. It is also very difficult to be reborn in Nirvana and advance to the Great Sun Buddha. For many Buddhist monks, after Nirvana, what they usher in is not rebirth, but annihilation, so The number of Mahavatar Buddhas in the Buddhist sect is far less than the number of cultivators in the Mahayana period.
Under normal circumstances, the fighting power of the Great Sun Buddha is slightly stronger than that of the Mahayana monks.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin truly understood the hierarchy of Buddhist sects. There are hundreds of Buddhist temples and Buddhist and Taoist sects, large and small, in the entire Golden Light Domain, but most of them are second- and third-rate. The strongest ones are mostly Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have just condensed their golden bodies, which is equivalent to the level of monks in the transformation stage.
As for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Second Fruition who are equivalent to the realm of immortal cultivators in the Void Refining Stage, they are much rarer. At least Xiao Lin has never encountered them in his more than ten years of travel.
In the past ten years, Xiao Lin finally understood the meaning of the four words Vajra Meditation left by Chuwu before his death. That is, if you want to surpass the first level, you must first practice the Buddhist Vajra Meditation method. The highest level.
Vajra meditation is divided into three realms, namely rock in water, immovable as a mountain, and Nirvana in cessation.
Among them, if you want to advance to the realm of super-first-level immortal martial arts, you need to practice Vajra Meditation to stop moving Nirvana. The third level of Vajra Meditation. The rock in the water means that your heart is as frightened as a rock in the water. It cannot be shaken and is extremely hard. Even if it is a thousand A hundred years of time will only make it harder.
Immovable as a mountain means that the mind is as still as water and the body is as immovable as a mountain. No external objects can intrude, just like the ancient sacred mountain that has stood for hundreds of millions of years.
As for the cessation of Nirvana, it is the highest state of Vajra Meditation. The first two levels are both external object realms, while the third level of cessation of Nirvana is the inner state, which means that the heart completely stops beating, and it falls into the state of Nirvana. In the realm of death, it is naturally impossible to be disturbed by any external objects. Even if the devil comes, it will only enter a soulless body and will not have any impact on the monk's state of mind.
Vajra Meditation is the path of practice followed by the Buddha. Normally, only Buddhas with three levels of fruition or above can practice Vajra Meditation to the third level.
After Xiao Lin understood this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He has now practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique to the fifth level, and there have been signs of breaking through to the fourth level recently. This is the level of Qi and Blood he has cultivated. Under the premise that most of his strength was inexplicably sucked away, if his energy and blood had not been sucked away, he would probably be at least the second-level immortal martial realm at this moment, and might even go one step further and advance to the first-rank immortal martial realm.
If he can cultivate into Vajra Meditation, it will not only be helpful for him to break through to the first-level immortal martial realm one day, but it will also be of great benefit for him to overcome the last heavenly tribulation.
Now that he was in Lone Sun Continent where Buddhism was popular, he naturally didn't want to return empty-handed.
Anyway, he hasn't found out the reason why his blood and mana have been sucked away, and he is not in a hurry to return to the Northern Territory. If he can find a way to obtain the secret method of practicing Vajra Meditation, it will be a lucky break.
So Xiao Lin immediately thought of the Dabodhi Temple in the Fulian Mountains.
This Dabodhi Temple is rumored to be the birthplace of the Buddhist sect in the Solitary Sun Continent, and it is also the holy land of the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Solitary Sun Continent are closely related to the ancient Buddhist Heavenly Sect in the West that was destroyed when Xiao Lin was in the mortal world. The land is different.
There are countless Buddhist sects and Buddhist temples in Guri Continent, but with the Great Bodhi Temple as the center, almost all the Buddhist temples and sects under its jurisdiction belong to the lower courtyard of the Great Bodhi Temple.
Under the Mahabodhi Temple there are ten upper courtyards, one hundred middle courtyards, and countless lower courtyards.
Among them, the abbots and white-clothed elders of the ten upper chambers are all sent by the Mahabodhi Temple, and their cultivation levels are all in the realm of the Great Sun Golden Body Buddha, which is equivalent to the existence of the spiritual ancestor.
As for the directors of the Hundred Intermediate Courts and the elders in yellow, they were sent by the ten upper courts, and their cultivation levels have all reached the realm of the Great Sun Buddha, which is equivalent to the realm of Mahayana monks in the world of immortality.
As for the countless Lower Houses, they are not sent by the Hundred Central Courts. Instead, the Lower House selects the presiding officers and Qingyi elders on its own, and then reports to one of the nearby Hundred Central Courts. Only after receiving approval can they become Presiding Officer and Elder of the House of Commons.
It can be said that the entire Buddha Sect is a top-down, hierarchical super sect that occupies nearly half of the entire Lonely Sun Continent.
As for the other half, it is the world of demons. It is said that only if there are Buddhas, there will be demons. Without Buddhas, there will be no demons. Demonic monks also occupy half of the entire Guri Continent. Countless demonic sects occupy the eastern part of Guri Continent. Nearly half of the area.
Of course, there are many immortal sects and other cultivation directions on the Guri Continent, but compared to the two paths of Buddha and Demon, they are almost negligible.
In today's Lonely Sun Continent, one hundred thousand years ago, the Three-Day Buddha of the Mahabodhi Temple and the Demonic Leader of the Demon Path, the Formless Demon, reached an agreement, which was the legendary Agreement to Stop the War between Buddha and Demon.
It was agreed that the two major forces would use the Fengxue Mountains in the center of Guri Continent as the boundary. People from the two major forces could enter each other's area, but they could not promote the sect's teachings or recruit believers in the other's area. The Buddhist sect could not enter Fengxue. Demonic monks who spread their faith to the east of the mountains are not allowed to enter the west of the Snow Mountains to kill ordinary mortals and Buddhist monks and refine various magical weapons.
It was the signing of the agreement that allowed the two sides, Buddha and Demon, to form the seemingly peaceful situation they have today.
But in fact, once the demonic monks enter the Buddhist realm, they will be hunted down. Similarly, once the Buddhist monks enter the demonic realm, they will also become the target of public criticism. Especially in recent years, there have been more and more disputes of this type. Storms are about to come, and the peaceful situation that has existed for many years is beginning to break down.
Moreover, on the Guri Continent, many immortal cultivating sects have begun to emerge, as well as spheres of influence established by other races, all of which are constantly encroaching on the territory of the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect.
For countless years, once such a force appears, it is usually quickly destroyed by the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect. However, in the past 30,000 years, such sects have gradually begun to increase, and the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect have also begun to conflict with each other overtly and covertly, resulting in the two The big forces began to be unable to take care of it, and some forces had even begun to unite to resist the erosion of Buddhism and Demonism, and became stronger and stronger.
Later, more and more forces joined in, and a powerful organization was established in the Snow Mountains to fight against the Buddha Sect and the Demonic Way. This organization was called the Shou Zheng Alliance.
No one knows who the leader of the Shou Zheng Alliance is, but they know that his realm is unpredictable. He once single-handedly resisted the joint siege of a Golden Sun Buddha and a Demon Saint Ancestor, and still calmly dealt with it. Both sides After several days of fierce fighting, there was still no winner, and the leader of the Shou Zheng Alliance calmly left after some ridicule.
Since then, the reputation of the Shou Zheng Alliance has greatly increased, attracting countless monks and races who were oppressed by Buddhism and the devil to join, and the strength of the Shou Zheng Alliance has also increased exponentially.
Now it has occupied the northern part of the Guri Continent, with the Fengxue Mountains as the center and the three surrounding areas, becoming a new powerful force on the Guri Continent.
After Xiao Lin understood the general distribution of power in the Guri Continent, he also began to think about it. Now he has three main purposes. The most important is to find the reason for the loss of his magic power and strive to restore his realm as soon as possible. The second is It is to obtain the secret method of Vajra Meditation of the Buddha. The third natural step is to find the cross-domain teleportation array to enter the Immortal Mortal Sea, enter the Immortal Mortal Sea, and then return to the Holy Moon Continent through the cross-domain teleportation array of the Immortal Mortal Sea.
Of course, he has no clue about the first purpose and can only put it aside for the time being, so what he needs to do now is to obtain the Buddhist method of Vajra Meditation.
Vajra meditation is a very profound magical power in Buddhism and one of the thirty-six great magical powers of the Mahabodhi Temple.
Among them, among the Buddhist sects in the lower courtyard, it is easy to obtain the scriptures on the rock in the water, the first level of Vajra meditation. Xiao Lin has already obtained it from a Buddhist temple in the lower courtyard in the golden light area.
This rock in the water is the basic chapter of Vajra Meditation. Xiao Lin has mastered it in just ten years.
As for the second level of immovable scripture, it can only be found in the hundred major Buddhist temples in the middle courtyard. This is also the reason why Xiao Lin came to Guri Continent.
Of course, the third level of cessation of Nirvana only exists in the Golden Sutra Tower in the Mahabodhi Temple. Ordinary people cannot enter at all, let alone an immortal monk like him.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lin thought that if he wanted to obtain complete golden light meditation, he must sneak into the Mahabodhi Temple.
But those who can enter the Mahabodhi Temple are either Buddhas with profound Buddhist realms, or people with the highest Buddhist roots and great connections with the Buddha. Xiao Lin seems to be dissatisfied with these two points.
Xiao Lin had no choice but to go to Guri Continent to look for opportunities. ()
