On this day, Qin Di( clone Qin Ku) found Zhenru Temple. 这一天,秦笛(分身秦苦)找到了真如寺。 His body is carrying buddhist fire, nine sixth rank immortal sword, eight thousand Ghost King, two hundred Ghost Immortal, anything did not have again in addition in addition, does not have including immortal stone together, before not to mention, these Spirit Immortal cave heaven that picks. Although these Spirit Immortal cave heaven were decoded the majority by him, but remains. 他的身上携带着一朵佛火,还有九柄六阶仙剑,再加上八千鬼王,两百鬼仙,除此之外什么都没有了,连一块仙石都没有,更别提以前捡到的那些灵仙洞天了。那些灵仙洞天虽然被他破解了一多半,但是还有很多留下来。 Since chose cultivated/repaired Buddha, that must calm the mind, prepares to be an ascetic person. 既然选择了修佛,那就要静下心来,准备做一个苦行僧。 The Zhenru Temple area is very big, but the palace is plain, is seemingly dark, does not have the resplendent in gold and jade green decoration. 真如寺面积很大,但是宫殿古朴陈旧,看上去灰沉沉的,没有金碧辉煌的装饰。 Under Monk Xu Yun has three disciple, called Lamp Transmission, Sea Sound and Inherent Brilliance respectively. 虚云和尚下面已经有三个弟子,分别叫传灯、海音和本焕。 Qin Di does obeisance into Zhenru Temple, first step tonsures. 秦笛拜入真如寺,第一步是剃度。 Qin Di is looking at the long hair of master top of the head, asked: „master, these step whether to exempt?” 秦笛望着师傅头顶的长发,问道:“师傅,这一步能否免了？” Monk Xu Yun shakes the head: „Cannot, the hair represent the human world heart of worry, the past wrong bad habit and proud neglecting, tonsuring, finished to worry, wholehearted cultivation.” 虚云和尚摇头:“不可,头发代表了人间的烦恼、以往的错误习气和骄傲怠慢之心,剃度是为了,了却一切牵挂,一心一意修行。” Qin Di the courage was asking greatly: „master, how do you have the hair?” 秦笛大着胆子问:“师傅,您怎么还留着头发呢？” Monk Xu Yun light say/way: „Old buddhist monk remains to send, stops the time especially, the product of specific stage , in years past matter does not say......” 虚云和尚淡淡的道:“老衲留发,是特停时间,特定阶段的产物,咳咳,昔年的事就不说了……” Since must shave, that shaves, in any case regarding Qin Di, this is outside the body, so long as the intention moves, can be long momentarily. 既然要剃,那就剃吧,反正对于秦笛来说,这都是身外之相,只要心念一动,随时都能长回来。 After tonsuring completes, Xu Yun loses to his three scripture, «Diamond Scripture», «Vimalakirti Scripture», one is «Lankavatara Scripture», said: „master is Zen lineage, what Zen is tasteful is points to the will of the people, the seeing nature achieves Buddhahood. The principal means meditate with the sudden enlightenment. After master, will teach you slowly, finally can merit perfection, the key also probably look at your oneself disposition.” 剃度完成之后,虚云丢给他三本经书,一本《金刚经》、一本《维摩经》,还有一本是《楞伽经》,道:“为师乃是禅宗一脉,禅宗讲究的是直指人心,见性成佛。主要手段是坐禅和顿悟。为师以后会慢慢教给你,最后能不能功德圆满,关键还要看你自己的心性。” Qin Di joins the palms in greeting saying: „Many thanks master instruction. master, what our Buddhist Sect pursue is what?” 秦笛合掌道:“多谢师傅教诲。请问师傅,我们佛宗到底追求的是什么？” Xu Yun replied: „Engages in introspection the seeing nature, from every enters the Saint, will exceed all space and times, causes and effects and pasts, in the future, obtains freedom that and all comfortable extricated from all humans affairs, then achieved Buddhahood.” 虚云答道:“明心见性,从凡入圣,超越一切时空、因果、过去、未来,获得从一切世事和所有舒服中解脱出来的自由,进而成佛。” „master, what is engages in introspection the seeing nature, this ‚does nature’ actually refer to what?” “师傅,什么是明心见性,这个‘性’究竟是指什么？” „Refers to the hearts of some people originally pure natures, the disposition this only, the Buddha-nature itself/Ben has, the seeing nature can achieve Buddhahood.” “是指人原本就有的清净自然之心,心性本净,佛性本有,见性才能成佛。” „master, does the heart performance of person have such big might? I hear Buddha Ancestor to be omnipotent, is such cultivation comes out?” “师傅,人的心性能有这么大的威力吗？我听说佛祖无所不能,也是这么修炼出来的吗？” Xu Yun silent moment, said: „Outset is the benevolence, benevolence, the clear circumcision and free heart, this heart by secular causes and effects surrounding, by all sorts of abuse contamination, after must enter the absorption in meditation, breaks through three passes/tests, sees clearly the innermost feelings, can become Arhat ; Then releases the benevolence, after this heart fire, produces buddhist fire, had buddhist fire, built the Bodhisattva, had the ability of overcoming powerful foes ; Then trains buddhist fire, from first-order until ninth rank, had ninth rank buddhist fire, that was Ninth Stage Bodhisattva. Arrived finally, buddhist fire sublimates, becomes really Buddha, can reaching heaven and penetrating earth, seize cloud Nayue, has the unusual refined mighty figure strength.” 虚云静默了片刻,道:“起始是佛心、善心、清净心、自由心,这颗心被世俗因果包围,被种种恶习沾染,必须进过禅定之后,突破三关,看清内心,才能成为罗汉;接着将佛心释放出来,此心化火之后,生成一朵佛火,有了佛火,才算是修成了菩萨,也就有了降龙伏虎的能力;进而培养佛火,从一阶直到九阶,有了九阶佛火,那就是九地菩萨了。到最后,佛火升华,变为真佛,才能通天彻地,捉云拿月,具有超凡脱俗的大能力。” Qin Di listened, as if understood, however many issues. He also wants to ask again, was actually prevented by Xu Yun. 秦笛听了,似乎明白了,然而还有很多问题。他还想再问,却被虚云阻止了。 Xu Yun beckons with the hand, said: „You first carry these three volumes of scripture. Then went to Nine Bitternesses Sea to sit in meditation for hundred years to say again.” 虚云摆了摆手,道:“你先将这三卷经书背下来。然后去九苦海边静坐百年再说。” Qin Di holds scripture spirit's consciousness to sweep, quick recited the scrip­tures. However after that estimation understanding is actually not one day two days can be completed. 秦笛手捧经书神识扫过,很快就将经文背诵下来。然而其后的揣摩理解却不是一天两天就能完成的。 He complies with the instruction, gradually arrives at the Nine Bitternesses Sea, sat cross-legged to sit. 他遵从吩咐,缓步走到九苦海的边上,盘膝坐了下来。 At the beginning, the train of thought was chaotic, as if one group of messes , his heart started to stabilize gradually, since boundary of Zen, in the clear circumcision, various leaked quickly initially motionless. 刚开始的时候,思绪混乱,仿佛一团乱麻,渐渐的,他的心开始安定下来,很快进入初禅的境界,清净心中,诸漏不动。 Initially the Zen are world Zen, the so-called world Zen, are the gentleman of general folk or the self-cultivation, for pill refining Qi Refining, making the body obtain the health to be peaceful and undisturbed, sits in meditation and several breaths controls one's breathing and sits in meditation, the deep view, or spirit qi of absorption tree under the big tree said, was observes calmly to sit in meditation as for sun and moon, did not divide the day and night, can prolong the life, achieves the body and mind the peace and good health and comfort, even there is to cure to govern and induce the deeds, such good law, the Buddhism called it world Zen, these with comprehending compared with seeing nature, still had a remote distance! 初禅属于世间禅,所谓世间禅,就是一般民间或修心养性之士,为了炼丹炼气,让身体得到健康安泰,静坐、数息调气、打坐、冥观、或于大树下吸取树之灵气之说,乃至于日月之下静观打坐,不分日夜,能延年益寿,达到身心的安康与舒适,甚至有疗治与感应之事迹,如此的行法,佛门称之为世间禅,这些与开悟见性相比,尚有一段遥远的距离！ Initially boundary of Zen, divides three boundary, the Buddhist is called „for three days”, namely Heaven of Brahmā’s Retinue, Heaven of Brahmā’s Aide and Heaven of Great Brahmā, this three days cannot segment Shi, therefore no nose tongue two knowledge, be only Le Shou and eye ear body three receive correspondingly, was been happily corresponding with the consciousness. 初禅的境界,又分三种境界,佛家称为“三天”,即梵众天、梵辅天、大梵天,此三天已不须段食,故无鼻舌二识,惟有乐受与眼耳身三受相应,喜受与意识相应。 Qin Di only spent for three months completed beginning Zen, because he is Spirit Immortal, not eating and drinking immovability is not very difficult matter. 秦笛只花了三个月的时间就完成了初禅,因为他本来就是灵仙,不吃不喝不动如山并非很难的事。 Then, he enters two Zen boundary. 然后,他进入二禅境界。 In the clear circumcision, leaks thickly has bent down, named two Zen. 清净心中,粗漏已伏,名为二禅。 Two Zen have three days, namely Minor Light Heaven, Infinite Light Heaven, Light Sound Heaven and other days, this three days does not have the first five knowledge, only have the consciousness, two receive because of it only being pregnant shed, are corresponding with the consciousness. 二禅同样有三天,即少光天、无量光天、光音天等三天,此三天无前五识,仅有意识,因之惟有喜舍二受,与意识相应。 Six months later, Qin Di entered three Zen. 半年之后,秦笛进入了三禅。 In the secure metacenter, likes complete(ly) Ju, named three Zen. 安稳心中,欢喜毕具,名为三禅。 Three Zen have three days, namely Minor Purity Heaven, Infinite Purity Heaven, All Pure Heaven and other days, this three days knows all with two Zen slightly with, but consciousness pleased, quite only wonderful. 三禅同样有三天,即少净天、无量净天、遍净天等三天,此三天识受皆与二禅略同,但意识怡悦之相,较为净妙。 The time that this step, Qin Di spends somewhat grew, to achieve the innermost feelings true purity, used for three years. 这一步,秦笛花的时间就有些长了,为了达到内心真正的清净,足足用了三年的时间。 Then, he starts to enter four Zen boundary. 然后,他开始进入四禅的境界。 Five know all does not have, not receives happily, only has the shed to receive, is corresponding with the consciousness, named four Zen. 五识俱无,亦无喜受,仅有舍受,与意识相应,名为四禅。 Four Zen have nine days, namely Cloudless Heaven, Merit Increasing Heaven, Large Fruitage Heaven, No Thought Heaven, No Vexations Heaven, No Heat Heaven, Reward Appearing Heaven, Clear Perception Heaven, Summit of Being Heaven and other days. 四禅有九天,即无云天、福生天、广果天、无想天、无烦天、无热天、善见天、善现天、色究竟天等九天。 This pass/test, Qin Di spent for enough 20 years. 这一关,秦笛花了足足二十年。 When completes, but also without opening eyes, hears master Monk Xu Yun saying: „master makes you meditate for hundred years, without thinking only uses for 20 years, completed the first step. Initially the Zen day, in the thought because of the heart is uncertain, therefore outside has the fire ; Two Zen days, regarding the absorption in meditation, have the pleasant heart, therefore outside has the floods ; Three Zen days, the breath is loud, therefore outside has the wind-caused disaster ; The fourth Zen, all inside and outside the trouble, all have not had only, therefore various Zai cannot arrive at the body.” 等到完成的时候,还没有睁眼,就听见师傅虚云和尚道:“为师让你坐禅百年,没想到只用二十年,就完成了第一步。初禅天,因心中思想不定,所以外面有火灾;二禅天,对于禅定,生喜乐心,所以外面有水灾;三禅天,呼吸粗重,所以外面有风灾;惟独第四禅,所有内外过患,一切均无,所以诸灾不能降临身上。” Qin Di static sitting, has not opened eyes as before, near the ear broadcasts the master sound unceasingly: 秦笛静静的坐着,依旧没有睁眼,耳边不断传来师傅的声音: „Then do not set out, but can also continue to sit. Studies Buddha Four Dhyanas and Eight Concentrations, you have completed four Zen, was finished cultivation that had the world of beings with form. Behind starts to enter the world of beings without form, starts to step into ‚four to decide spatially’, names ‚four to decide colorless’.” “接下来你不要起身,还可以继续坐下去。学佛四禅八定,你已经完成了四禅,算是结束了有色界的修行。后面开始进入无色界,开始踏入‘四空定’,又名‘四无色定’。” „What do four decide spatially? Is near the bareness decides respectively: Is the cultivation will of the people finds out to the adversity numerous colors( the color accumulated material) shackles, therefore abandons the color to think, but reason boundless void, achieves near the heart and bareness corresponding. Knows the boundless place to decide: Is the pedestrian detests and rejects external void, therefore the shed is void, but the reason intrinsic knowledge, achieving the heart and knowledge is boundless. Does not have all places to decide: Is the pedestrian detests and rejects its knowledge, but observes the heart knowledge not to have all, achieves the heart without all corresponding. Does not think that non- non- wants to locate to decide: Not thinks thickly( does not think), non- not pondered that( non- thinks), achieves as if deluded, does not have philharmonic pure inactivity boundary......” “何谓四空定？分别是空无边处定:是修行人心想出离患难重重的色(色蕴物质)的牢笼,于是舍色想而缘无边的虚空,做到心与空无边相应。识无边处定:是行人又厌弃外在的虚空,于是舍虚空而缘内在的识,做到心与识无边相应。无所有处定:是行人又厌弃其识,而观心识无所有,做到心与无所有相应。非想非非想处定:是无粗想(非想),又非无细想(非非想),做到如痴如醉,无所爱乐清净无为的境界……” After saying, Monk Xu Yun left. 说完之后,虚云和尚又离开了。 Qin Di continues to sit in meditation, not eating and drinking, does not want to be motionless, crossed for 30 years, completes four to decide spatially the first step. 秦笛继续静坐,不吃不喝,不想不动,又过了三十年,才完成四空定中的第一步。 Also 40 years, were completed the second step. 又四十年,完成了第二步。 ............ ………… From arriving at Nine Bitternesses Sea sits in meditation to start, altogether spent for 300 years, Qin Di completes Four Dhyanas and Eight Concentrations, at this time, his became is weak, however that sixth rank buddhist fire, has actually promoted from dantian to the heart, lightened his entire heart palace! 从来到九苦海边静坐开始,总共花了三百年的时间,秦笛才完成四禅八定,这时候,他的身体变得消瘦下来,然而那一朵六阶佛火,却已经从丹田提升到心中,点亮了他的整个心宫！ He does not eat and drink as before, does not open the eye. 他依旧不吃不喝,也不睁开眼睛。 So crossed for 800 years, he has become thin, thorough refining this buddhist fire, transformed it is oneself the fire of life. 如此又过了八百年,他已经变得骨瘦如柴,才彻底炼化了这朵佛火,将它转化为自己的生命之火。 This buddhist fire origin is complex, is not well-known low rank spirit fire, perhaps stems from the lesser monk who meditates to worship Buddha, after dying, buddhist light that leaves behind, after Qin Di, after fire sacrifice, gradually grows repeatedly, in the fire sacrifice process, has joined Qin Di spirit's consciousness, for all this, spent his millennium, coincides with the oneself benevolence truly, turns into oneself buddhist fire completely. 这朵佛火来历复杂,原本是一朵不知名的低阶灵火,或许出自一位参禅拜佛的小和尚,死后留下的一点佛光,到了秦笛手里之后,经过反复火祭,才逐渐成长起来,在火祭的过程中,已经加入了秦笛的神识,尽管如此,还是花了他千年时间,才与自己的佛心真正相合,完全变成自己的佛火。 At this time, Qin Di has not set out, master Monk Xu Yun came! 此时,秦笛还没有起身,师傅虚云和尚又来了！
