Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 41 The Art of Listening

  The holy lotus finally fully bloomed.

  Tender yellow stamens reveal fragrance.

  The whole third floor seems to be intoxicated by this fragrance.

   Lichen is no exception.

  The stairs leading to the fourth floor have already appeared.

   But he still sat there, motionless.

  He has a new understanding of Jing's understanding.

  Quietness is the stillness of the outside world.

   Tranquility is inner stillness.

  The tranquility of all living beings cannot depend on listening.

   Gotta watch! Gotta smell! Gotta watch!

  The change of Avalokitesvara can only feel the vicissitudes of the world.

   "Amitabha~"

   Lichen said the Buddha's name, and resolutely stepped on the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

  Fourth layer.

  Has the same pleasant fragrance of white lotus, the same gatha.

   As expected, the word 'quiet' was enlarged again.

   Lichen sighed, there is another layer on top, isn't it the same?

  The central location of the fourth floor.

  There are futons and lotus flowers, and the flowers are also blooming.

   Li Chen sat on the futon and entered into a state of meditation again.

  A higher level of static than 'Guanyin'?

   Quiet to the extreme, what is it?

   Simple voice? wrong.

   If we say from bud to bloom.

   This process is waiting, so before waiting.

  All concentration, all concentration, all breath-holding.

   What is it again?

   Own roaming? wandering? Guess? neither.

  At that time, my heart was quiet and everything was in order.

   But in the end, what is driving me to persevere?

  Suddenly Lichen's eyes lit up, all the premise was the same.

  That is knowing that the flowers will bloom.

  Flowers always bloom!

  So, the reason to focus, to wait, to persevere is…

expect! Looking forward to blooming!

  Like the current self, looking forward to a higher level.

   And what is beyond expectation?

   is unknown? Still confused?

  Thinking of this, Li Chen felt inexplicably agitated.

  The more I think about it, the more panic I feel, and the more I think about it, the more helpless I feel.

  Suddenly, a breeze came.

  The white lotus swayed in the wind, and the snow-white petals fell silently.

  At that moment, Lichen's world suddenly stopped.

  Everything exploded in my heart.

  It doesn’t matter whether you are unknown, confused or hesitant.

  Flowers bloom and fall, it turns out that everything is...

usually!

  Look lightly at the clouds and clouds, and quietly watch the flowers bloom and fade.

  Everything is predestined, so why worry in vain.

  Real stillness is calmness.

  It means letting go, not caring, gaining and losing.

   is to maintain a normal heart!

  The petals fell one after another, as if they had never appeared before.

   But Lichen's mood has changed.

  He is still in that mysterious and ordinary heart.

  It seemed that even the rain and the wind and the earth turning upside down could not cause even the slightest ripple in his heart.

  Don't care about everything, everything is destined.

   Normal heart, so scary.

  Li Chen panted heavily, struggling to get out of that state.

   After thinking for a while, I couldn't help sweating profusely.

  He has touched the root of Jing.

  Staticness is to cut off the five aggregates.

  Staticness means escaping into Buddhism.

  Staticness means seeing the true meaning.

this moment.

   Lichen has no joy of comprehension.

  He just wanted to escape.

Buddha.

   Not as merciful as it seems.

  Because great love is merciless.

  Great love must be abandoned, abandoning the small self, and achieving the big self.

   Lichen couldn't do it, and didn't want to do it.

  If he becomes ruthless in order to become a Buddha, then he would rather never be quiet.

   Unknowingly, Li Chen actually developed a fear of Buddha.

  Looking at the stairs leading to the fifth floor, he hesitated.

  I don't know when, thoughts are intertwined in my heart, and various voices come to my heart.

  Pray for Buddha? Ask fairy? Looking for longevity?

   Li Chen was sweating profusely, and his chest was full of true energy.

  A discerning eye will know at a glance that this is a sign that the Buddha's heart is shaken and he is about to go mad.

  The road is bumpy, one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon.

   At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared from the Xie Yu Mirror, freezing Li Chen's heart and soul.

  【This heart does not move, the way of heaven is only me. 】

  A non-self.

  The other is Solips.

   These eight words of Hong Zhong Da Lu made Li Chen feel as if he had been enlightened.

  After a long time, his eyes regained their luster.

  It doesn’t matter whether it’s Buddha or Dao.

   are nothing but two bricks to achieve eternity.

   And the one who really builds this wall is always a person, and it is always the unwavering heart.

  In this case, why stick to where the bricks come from?

   Those who are used by me can do everything!

   This heart is unwavering, the way of heaven is only me!

  As long as it can help me see the road ahead, why not learn it?

  Thinking through this verse, Li Chen's Dao heart became more tenacious.

  He took that step without hesitation.

   On the fifth floor, there are no futons, white bottles, or lotus flowers.

   Only the verses on the wall are still there.

   But this time, the word 'quiet' almost occupied the entire wall.

   Li Chen walked to the middle.

   looked up, there was a huge clock hanging there.

  Every time it rings, it means that Li Chen has a new understanding.

  铛~

  铛~

  铛~

  …

   Li Chen was stunned, didn't he play his cards according to the routine?

  The sound of the bell was deafening, and Li Chen only felt that the whole building was shaking slightly.

  He sighed, feeling powerless.

quiet.

   Already have no parameters.

   Quiet on the first floor.

  Second level serenity.

   Avalokitesvara on the third floor.

  The normality of the fourth floor.

   At this point, the five aggregates can be cut off.

  No more: forms, feelings, thoughts, formations, and consciousness.

   That is when the Buddha came, and this is also the highest level of tranquility.

  In the state of tranquility, how to seek tranquility again?

  The so-called great sound and rare sound, could it be that you let yourself comprehend the "great tranquility and restlessness" in the sound of the bell?

  But the tranquility of the second layer has already reached this state.

   What's more, the normal mind on the fourth level has even reached the level of peace.

  Even if the sky falls, there will be no ripples in my heart.

   Li Chen's thoughts drifted away, completely undisturbed by everything around him.

  The silence has reached the extreme, it is the silence of the soul.

  So what is the essence of static? Still sound.

   What is the sound? Li Chen was silent.

  He touched the slightly vibrating floor, and had a faint realization in his heart.

   The sound is vibration! The sound is fluctuating!

   And the bell at this time seems to be reminding himself.

   This layer is no longer the sublimation of 'quietness'.

   It is the root of 'quietness'!

  There are obviously deafening bells around, but in his heart there is complete silence.

  All the voices seemed to appear in his mind in another form.

   Waves!
