Mirroring the changes

Dang Dang Dang~

Southern Xinjiang, Shasheng Temple.

The bells rang all night long.

Finally the annual New Year's Eve comes.

The Buddhist scriptures say: "When you hear the sound of the bell, your troubles will be cleared, your wisdom will grow, and your bodhi will increase."

Generally speaking, the bell will ring 108 times tonight, which means to eliminate the 108 sufferings in life and pray for success in the coming year.

All the monks were sitting inside and outside the Mahavira Hall.

They beat wooden fish together and read scriptures silently.

Even the Sesshoji Temple, which had always been austere, had a lot of oil lamps lit at this time.

There are also two red lanterns hanging on the eaves, one on the left and one on the right.

The Shasheng Temple is located in southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang is located in the ‘Li’ position in the Bagua directions.

Therefore, southern Xinjiang is also called "Lihuang".

It is hot all year round, and there is less of the white throbbing of snow in winter in the north.

Lichen is located at the front of the Main Hall.

Behind him are three elders and five heads.

Before you know it, it’s the end of the year.

The last bell was exactly one hundred and eight.

The lingering sound of the bell still echoes.

At this time, the Shasheng Temple can be said to be 'completely silent'.

As soon as the bell stops ringing, there is a beginning and an end.

"Buddha... offer incense~"

The obscure Zen master behind him said in a deep voice.

Li Chen understood in his heart, put his hands together in salute, and then took a stick of incense from the side.

This fragrance is as tall as half a person and as thick as a calf.

Lighting the incense head is like covering a big red bowl.

The white smoke curls up like a goddess.

With a pious face on his face, Li Chen bowed and knelt before putting the incense into the incense burner.

There is a saying in Buddhism that "incense is the messenger of the Buddha". Buddhists believe that incense can reach people's faith in the Buddha, just like the messenger of the Buddha. Therefore, burning incense has become an important way for people to communicate with the Buddha and convey their wishes.

The first incense burned at the beginning of every new year is the 'first incense'.

Usually the host offers the incense.

However, Zen Master Huizhuo, the abbot of Shasheng Temple, has been practicing in seclusion, and Zen Master Huizhuo used to do it for him.

And this year, it will naturally be completed by the Buddha’s disciples who kill the living beings.

"Amitabha."

"Buddha bless you and everything goes well."

"Let me, Sesshoji, return to the position of Sanyuan as soon as possible."

"Amitabha."

The three walls are the central three walls: Ziweiyuan, Taiweiyuan and Tianshiyuan.

It is the center of all sects.

Dazhou's top existence.

The former Sesshou Temple stood in the center of the three walls.

Everyone admires him.

The common goal of all the monks of Sesshou Temple is to return to the Central Three Walls.

After this competition, Sesshou Temple has initially unified the Southern Xinjiang sects.

But if you want to get out of southern Xinjiang and set foot in Kyushu, you need to go one step further.

After the ceremony, Li Chen stood still slightly, and the monks behind him stood up and prayed together.

Not long after, a piece of "Prajna Heart Sutra" was finished.

Zen Master Huiming waved his hand and saw that Xiangji Kitchen had sent a prepared vegetarian meal waiting for all the monks to enjoy it together.

In addition to Li Ergou and Wang Fugui, there are also Ji Xuefu, a disciple of Jinxiuchuan, and Aunt Lan, an old woman who takes care of her daily life.

In the past few days, Ji Xuefu finally regained some of her complexion. Although she was still crazy occasionally, she was much better than before.

As soon as the hot meals were served, Li Chen even brought out some fine old wine to entertain them.

The monks also let go of their reserve and were very happy.

Li Chen paid New Year's greetings to the elders, masters, chiefs, and senior brothers one by one.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food will be exceeded.

Li Chen carried the wine gourd and came outside the hall alone.

He looked up at the deep night and couldn't help but smile.

Unknowingly, it has been many years since I came to this world.

From being ignorant at the beginning to being independent now, I have indeed experienced a lot in the process.

I recall the fear and anxiety when I first arrived, and then the indifference later.

What is the pursuit of the world of immortality?

Once upon a time, Zen Master Loneliness said that he lacked a ‘heart for truth’.

Buddhism's mind cultivation is to constantly seek, to seek verification, and to remain calm after experiencing everything.

But after being separated from the world for two lifetimes and experiencing two lifetimes, one is born with the realm that Buddhism pursues.

Therefore, without the process of seeking, there will inevitably be less desire for verification.

This is to abandon the fundamental and pursue the inferior.

If a person has no goals, no matter how high his cultivation level is, he will always be confused and will never find his own way.

This is in line with the saying from the previous life: If a person has no ideals, what difference does he make to a salted fish?

But after the experiences of the 'Bamboo Bamboo Shooting Conference', 'Life-killing Conference', 'Flowing Competition', and the two invasions of Wanshou Villa, Lichen finally made up for his spiritual deficiencies.

What's more, he also has rare objects in the world such as the 'Language Interpretation Mirror'.

I never expected that I would embark on the path of cultivation in this world.

And soon Li Chen finally discovered the true meaning of this world of cultivating immortals.

There are six realms of practice: acquired, innate, inner scene, outer scene, questioning, and enlightenment.

Among them, acquired and innate are the foundation.

Interior and exterior scenes are the seeds of the small world.

Asking questions and proving the truth are the prototype of the small world.

Once the enlightenment is successful, then the opening of the small world will be successful.

The so-called ascension is actually the process of separating from the original world by creating a small world for oneself.

That is, the collision between the ‘Tao’ that one has achieved and the ‘Original Dao’.

Break free or surrender.

This is the true meaning of ascension.

Breaking free is the great liberation, completely jumping out of reincarnation, just like the gods in ancient times.

Not bound by the laws of heaven, truly free and free.

And surrender is not completely considered as a successful ascension. It still depends on the origin world and follows the laws of the origin heaven.

Of course, compared with the previous mortal body, it may gain more life, more powerful power, and more freedom.

But it is still bound by the heaven, not a real great liberation.

Before, Li Chen read the handwriting left by Master Bukong on the Bukong waterfall, and he decided that he must cultivate the real great liberation and freedom in this life.

Jump out of the reincarnation and explore the supreme wonderland.

Since you are here, you should go recklessly!

I don’t know what kind of small world I will open up.

Li Chen’s eyes are burning, and star dust finally shines above the night sky.

He raised the Xuyu gourd and drank a cup of fine wine.

[‘Drunkard’ drank fine wine, and the sun and moon wonders rotated faster. ]

[‘Zhisou’ sighed, feeling that he was one year older, and the annual ring pattern of the cause and effect round light also grew a circle. 】

【'Di Ting' was lying in the small dark room, listening quietly to something. 】

After a while, Li Chen exhaled a breath of alcohol.

At this time, his mind moved, and his mind had already turned into the sea of ​​consciousness.

A wisp of mind was released, directly crossing into the 'Lovesickness Tears'.

At the same time, in Xiangfei Valley thousands of miles away, the three women were naturally ecstatic.

When they greeted each other, they also had resentment.

Li Chen did not dare to stay for long, just paid a New Year's greeting, and then left in a hurry.

Only the three women were angry and funny.

After saying goodbye to the three women, Li Chen immediately came to the South Country.

Today's South Country is indeed much more lively than usual.

At this time, the number of human Yuan dolls on the tree has increased to sixteen.

South Country tradition: old people lead new people.

They naturally gave each of them code names and listened to Mr. Hongdou's great achievements.
