After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 836 See me in bloom

  The camellias were in full bloom, and some buds that had not bloomed before opened because of Li Dandao’s smile.

  Li Dandao saw this and said to the old monk, "When Sakyamuni was teaching the Dharma, he was holding a mandala flower in his hand, and there was a lot of flower hanging around."

   "Now that the flowers are blooming to see me, do you think I am a Buddha?"

   "Didn't the Venerable say that the Buddha is an old bald man with a leprosy head?"

  Lao La touched his wrinkled forehead.

  Li Dan laughed loudly: "Monk, are you a Buddha?"

  The old lama picked off a bright camellia flower and handed it to Li Dan and said, "The Buddha has passed away, so what can a poor monk do?"

  Li Dandao took the camellia, its green leaves, safflower and yellow stamens, delicate and lovely.

   "The Buddha has passed away, so what kind of Buddha do you worship?"

   was a flick, and the petals fell one after another, turning into thousands of pieces, so beautiful.

  Li Dandao walked into the sea of ​​camellias, all camellias bloomed, and there were even one after another of elves, dancing around Li Dandao.

   There are even two stuck on Li Dandao's hairpin.

  The old lama looked at the young man so graceful, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Central Plains really does produce many talents."

  Li Dan walked along the road, and then he arrived at the cliff. On the cliff, you can see the scenery under the snow-capped mountains, which is green, and then look at the sky, which is green.

  The heaven and the earth are mixed together, the gloomy blue sky, the snow-capped mountains and the white clouds, all of the same color.

  Li Dandao is in a good mood.

   At this time, a few savages from the snow-capped mountains carried a sturdy boy up the mountain.

   The ape chirping of "woo woo woo".

   The young man was Shen Wei. At this time, he was extremely depressed, and his expression was no longer the same.

In fact, he thought a lot along the way, always thinking about the women who were kidnapped by the savages up the mountain, wondering if it was because he had fine skin and tender flesh, beautiful eyes, and among the disciples of Xuanzhen Dao, he had the best looks, so he would call these savages. Mistaken men and women.

   Just when I saw that I was still pity, I was secretly sad, but I saw these savages scattered, and at the same time, a fragrant wind blew, and lifted myself up into the sky.

   "Am I already consummating my meritorious deeds, and am I going to soar in the daytime?"

   Shen Wei was thinking, but saw Li Dandao's smiling face.

   A grievance gave birth: "Master!"

  Li Dan said in disgust, "What does it sound like to cry?"

  Shen Wei wanted to sue, but he saw a lot of savages next to him.

   "My Dharma Protectors are all deeply Buddha-nature, compassionate and kind. If you want to come here, you will be brought here by these Dharma Protectors."

  Li Dan said with a sneer: "If it wasn't for you, the monk, would they kidnap people at will?"

   "You also know the twelve causes and conditions, don't you know that there are traces of cause and effect?"

  The old lama choked, he knew that Li Dandao was the Qinglong Venerable, the Dharma was high and profound, and he opened up the method of Buddhism for outsiders. Therefore, he got the covenant of Manjushri and wanted to transform Li Dandao.

   But he didn't expect that Li Dandao had already realized the fate of fate, and also thoroughly refined two Sakyamuni relics as food for the Yangshen. Its layout has been fully seen.

   "I said long ago, what is the matter with you leading me to come here, but you always talk to him, what Buddhist doctrines are taught, and show me the Zen machine."

  Li Dandao opened his mouth and said, "Old monk, you have been practicing hard for many years, and I don't want to break your secret yoga practice."

  What else the old lama wanted to say, Li Dandao had already sat on the altar of the temple, tore off the yellow cloth that the old monk had enshrined for many years, and put it on his body as a cassock.

  The old monk was good-natured again, and now he was angry.

   But saw the riots of giant king Kong in the snow-capped mountains.

  Li Dandao didn't care: "Old monk, you have practiced for many years, why don't you even have the courage to call yourself a Buddha? Is it not Sakyamuni's cassock that this piece of yellow cloth is enshrined here?"

   "Since you don't have the courage to call yourself a Buddha, why don't you worship me as a Buddha?"

   But immeasurable lights were born, and these Buddha lights turned into golden lotuses all over the land.

  The old monk stared blankly, but no supernatural powers appeared. On the contrary, the savage people in the snow-capped mountains were sober and honest.

These snow-capped savages, entrusted with the various desires of lamas, are the incarnations of the heart apes, similar to the "Ming Wang Xiang" of the monk Miaoshan, but the old monk has divided them into thousands and has been integrated into the ethnic group of the white apes in the snow-capped mountains. went.

   As soon as they got angry, these white apes had black energy moving up from their lower dantian, and they looked very manic.

   But the old lama suppressed it.

   "Why do cultivators always get angry? Haven't you felt free and fully enlightened in this pure land!"

  This yellow cloth is not an ordinary cloth, it may really be the cassock of Sakyamuni, Li Dandao thinks it looks more like an abbot wearing a bed sheet.

   Own it directly.

The old monk finally told the truth: "The great prosperity of Buddhism is due to the Venerable, but the Venerable seems to have many prejudices with my Buddhism, so the poor monk has become a middle man and wants to persuade the Venerable, but today, the Venerable is on the contrary. He is a wonderful person, but he has shaken the poor monk's thoughts."

  Li Dan said, "You have to ask the right person. I have no prejudice against Buddhism, but Buddhism is biased against me."

  Li Dan said with a smile: "Just now, monk, didn't you have a sense of distinction and no equality, or why would I use means to arouse your desires and break your yoga."

   "Alas!" the old monk sighed.

  Li Dandao opened his mouth and said, "Monk, you were originally cultivating on the snowy mountains, so why bother to swim in this muddy water, now that the yellow mud is on your body, and if you think about being born to practice, it will be difficult to be peaceful and peaceful."

"I sighed a few times just now. It's such a Buddhist pure land, but you can't understand the meaning. I've tried to tit-for-tat again and again, thinking that when I'm older, it's better to be a teacher. I don't see the obstacles to practice, I don't see it, I don't hear it. It’s a pity that such a snowy mountain dojo is unfortunate.”

   "That's why you were instigated by others, kidnapped my disciples, wanted to discuss Buddhism with me, debated with me, and established merits in order to seek the right fruit."

"Your biggest desire is that you want to become a Buddha, but you don't have the courage to take that step. Sakyamuni is a big mountain in your heart, so you don't set up a Buddha statue in the temple, but you don't dare to. Your own Buddha image, with a yellow cloth hanging on it, is deceiving yourself and others."

  Li Dandao scolded: "Now I haven't woken you up with a stick, you are an old banger."

   "Alas!" The old lama sighed a few times, his face changed, and finally said: "The venerable reminded me."

  Li Dandao saw this and said to the old monk: "The secret yoga you practice is not a Mahayana school, but the Theravada Buddhism that can only be cultivated to Arhats. Why not go and explore the Mahayana Buddhism?"

  The old lama shook his head: "The desire to become a Buddha has been put down by the poor monk. The purity of the snow-capped mountains cannot be disturbed by the poor monk alone."

  Li Dandao looked at his eyebrows and his eyes seemed to have the meaning of liberation, and it seemed that the day of nirvana was not far away.

   Heart said: It’s a pity that Fudge didn’t live in my Qinglong Temple.

   However, once the old lama has been solved, the Xuanzhen Dao is no longer a major obstacle. In the future, either to Yunnan or Tubo, there will be a way.
