Buddha Immortal

Chapter 63 Mana and Body Training

In the following days, he lived in seclusion, and except for going to the Bodhidharma Academy to listen to monks' lectures, he basically practiced asceticly in his own meditation room.

He is now a novice monk, and when he goes to the Bodhidharma Academy to listen to lectures, he no longer has to worry about not being able to get a seat if he arrives late, but has a special seat in the front row.This is a privilege after being promoted to a novice.

The novice monk is the most excellent existence among the students of the Buddhist monastery. He has attracted the attention of the senior management of the Zen monastery and is also the focus of training. Increase twice, can enter three times.

And since the novice monks have received the novice precepts, they belong to the real monks, and their cultivation has also entered the first level of Dharma. The Buddhist temple has opened a merit system for each novice monk.

The immeasurable merits and virtues that monks often talk about are actually the power of merits and virtues.

Falian Temple ranks second among the Six Temples. It has a profound foundation and a wealth of talents. The biggest reliance is the establishment of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Every monk who is ordained in the monastery will have a mysterious connection with the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

The monks of the Chanyuan can obtain the power of merit and virtue through six ways: almsgiving, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation (satisfaction and insight), and wisdom. There are three types of almsgiving: Dharma giving, wealth giving, and fearlessness giving.

Giving is also the most common method used by monks to increase the power of merit, and the effect is the most significant.

Dharma-casting is the practice of praying for the public, transcending souls of the dead, saving people, and persuading people to do good deeds.

The effect of giving money is not as good. It is mainly to give money to the poor and sick, and to help those in need with money.The point that needs to be emphasized here is that it does not mean that you will have meritorious deeds if you help others. If you help evil people, you will be contaminated with karma.

Therefore, even if monks are as rich as an enemy, they generally seldom donate money. On the contrary, most monks are begging for alms.

Fearless charity is also an effective way to gain merit. For example, when evil beasts ravage, invade human homes, and harm human beings, monks go to the front to resist and kill evil beasts, which is boundless merit.Residents in the rear live and work in peace and contentment without fear. This is a kind of fearless charity.

Guo Lingchan’s wisdom in two lives, coupled with the baptism of death when he was reborn, his willpower, and his clear mind, coupled with the fact that he studied countless ordinary Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist histories in his previous life, and has a superhuman talent for comprehending Zen, he only has In twelve days, I realized a trace of the true meaning of Falian's Zen.

Originally, he thought it would be extremely difficult to cultivate mana, but he did not expect that he would get a little mana for the first time after trying to practice.

The process of obtaining mana is very miraculous. As long as you read the practice scriptures and practice according to the unique Buddha aggregate contained in it, the body will automatically appear dots, small golden light spots like sparks, which are mana.

After practicing penance for nearly a month, the magic power in his body began to burn like a spark of fire. From the initial few golden spots, it slowly condensed into a small thread, which flowed and shuttled continuously in his body, nourishing and strengthening his body. Body.

No wonder the treasures of novice monks will become more and more powerful as they practice.

Not long ago, his master Huineng Bhikkhu called him over, and he was very happy that he had successfully practiced the Ninth Grade Dharma Lotus Sutra.He also told Guo Lingchan that he had a total of five apprentices, and Guo Lingchan was the youngest, but his four senior brothers were all on missions outside and couldn't see each other for a while.

Perhaps it was because Guo Lingchan obtained the Ninth Grade Dharma Lotus Sutra, which made up for his regrets in the past. When he was bestowed on him as a novice, Bhikkhu Hui Neng said a very unusual sentence: "Zhi Chan, since you have taken refuge in me, I hope you will work hard. , and fulfill a wish that can never be fulfilled for the teacher!"

When Guo Lingchan asked what his wish was, Huineng stopped talking and waved him out of the meditation room.

This made Guo Lingchan very puzzled.

He only said that Guo Ling would be qualified to fulfill this wish only after he reached the level of a Mahayana monk in his meditation practice.

Guo Lingchan, who came back from his master, practiced even harder, for no other reason, because after three days, he had to perform a mission in the monastery.

The monks have all kinds of privileges and benefits, and even the monks who have the novice certificate will not be arrested by the government, but will be punished by the Buddhist temple or the temple they belong to, so the status of the monks is very high.If there is gain, there must be sacrifice.

The monastery stipulates that every novice who has obtained the certificate must obtain ten points of merit power every month, which can be accumulated, and the way to obtain it is to go to the merit hall of the monastery to accept the task.

Those who have money can donate money for alms.

It means that if you have enough ability, you can accept the task of [-] points of merit power. After completing it, you can not accept any tasks for ten months and concentrate on cultivation.

However, the task of one hundred points of merit is generally very difficult. To complete it, a multi-person team is required to complete it.

The increase of mana needs to be accumulated over time, and it is difficult for him to increase too much mana in a short period of time.

He already has the conditions to practice the Great Nirvana Treasure Body Sutra, and he plans to practice hard in the remaining ten days to see if he can strengthen the Treasure Body and save his life when he completes the task .

In the meditation room, sandalwood is curling up, and it is extremely quiet.

Guo Lingchan sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and focused his attention, carefully contemplating the scriptures of the Nirvana treasure body.One by one, vivid ancient Siddhan Sanskrit texts flashed one by one, and they were connected with each other to form a vast and profound mana scripture.

It has been nearly three years since he obtained this scripture, and Guo Lingchan is already very familiar with every sentence of the scriptures, and he has also gained a deep understanding and comprehension of the Buddhist principles and profound meanings contained in each scripture.After all, he had studied so many Buddhist scriptures in his previous life and listened to lectures in the Bodhidharma Academy for so long, so he could understand a thing or two no matter how profound the scriptures were.As he practiced visualization, purple-gold spots of mana began to appear in his body.

This is a unique phenomenon of cultivating mana, Guo Lingchan hastily gathered his mind and kept visualizing the first verse of the Great Nirvana Treasure Body Sutra.

When he visualized it for the third time, the purple-gold mana light spots in his body had reached nearly a thousand. They were extremely spiritual and very harmonious, slowly gathered together, and finally condensed into a two-inch-long purple-gold mana. colored mana thread.

However, after they were condensed together, the thread of mana did not stop condensing and circulated continuously in the body like before when they practiced the Ninth Grade Dharma Lotus Sutra.It is still slowly gathering and gathering, and the mana thread is gradually becoming shorter and thicker.

The body refining scriptures are different from the mana scriptures. Guo Lingchan didn't panic about this change, he waited quietly.

About fifteen or six minutes later, the transformation of the purple-gold mana thread was almost complete.At this time, it turned into a blade shape, rather like the tip of a broken fruit knife, and also like the flame peak of a flame. It looked very sharp, but it was very small, only the size of a mung bean.

Immediately afterwards, it entered the nearest muscle mass.

It happened to be the pectoral muscle, and in an instant, Guo Lingchan's left chest felt like being cut by a sharp knife, the pain was unbearable, and that muscle was violently twitching and contracting.

This severe pain lasted for about half an hour before it stopped.

He has already been able to look inside, and he has been closely watching the changes in the purple-gold mana blade. It seems to have a deep hatred with that muscle, cutting continuously, and as it cuts, it is slowly shrinking, the stars Dots of purple-gold light merged into the cut muscles.

When the pain stopped, the purple-gold mana blade had completely disappeared.

Guo Lingchan knew that it didn't disappear, but was completely integrated into the muscle mass, and that muscle mass was obviously strengthened, ten times stronger than the same muscle mass.

With such an astonishing change, Guo Lingchan had already forgotten the mortal pain just now. He was extremely excited and terrified. The Great Nirvana Treasure Body Sutra is indeed the inheritance scripture of the Lizong lineage. Its body training effect is so powerful that it defies the sky. .

Compared with the nourishing and strengthening effect of the mana obtained from practicing the Ninth Grade Dharma Lotus Sutra, the strengthening effect of the Great Nirvana Treasure Body Sutra is nearly a hundred times stronger.

After figuring out the basic method, Guo Lingchan closed his eyes again and started to visualize.

Not long after, another purple-gold mana blade took shape, and this time another muscle mass was strengthened.

……

Sixteen days later, he walked out of the meditation room satisfied, his eyes were no longer as calm and indifferent as before, but more determined and courageous.

The body training effect of the Great Nirvana Treasure Body Sutra is very powerful. In sixteen days, he strengthened all 630 and nine muscles in his whole body, regardless of their size.For some small muscle blocks, a purple-gold mana blade can strengthen several pieces or even more than a dozen pieces, while some large ones may require several mana blades to complete the strengthening.

If there is no amazing willpower and endurance in this process, ordinary people will not be able to persist.

Guo Lingchan persevered, so his body was nearly ten times stronger than it was sixteen days ago, and his explosive power, speed, and ability to resist blows had all improved a lot.

If only talking about the tyranny of the treasure body, he estimated that it should be about the same as Mad Bear Loves at this time.

In the days to come, Guo Lingchan's idea is to cultivate two kinds of scriptures at the same time, to practice both dharma and body.

Undoubtedly, it will take much more time and effort than others.

After tidying up, he went straight to the Gongde Hall. He was dressed in a sea green suit, which was very eye-catching. Many people looked at him with awe and envy.

Shami is the top existence among the students of Falian Temple, and it is the dream and pursuit of every student who has not yet reached the state of Zen.

As soon as he arrived at the Gongde Hall, Guo Lingchan found that it was very lively, with people coming in and out from time to time.

Many novice monks even looked for suitable teammates on the steps outside the Hall of Merit. As soon as they saw a novice they liked approaching, they immediately went up to strike up a conversation, but most of the time they were stared at or declined politely.

Guo Lingchan looked very ordinary, and he kept his weapon, the sun and moon shovel, in the bronze bowl of the eight dragons, so no one came to chat with him.

After entering the Gongde Hall, his eyes lit up. There is a row of windows in the hall. There are about ten windows. There is a nun sitting in each window, and they are all very young. Several beautiful nuns surround the windows. It was full of novice monks who struck up a conversation and asked questions.

On the wall of the lobby, there is a huge display screen, on which the missions are played in turn, but the details of the missions have not been announced.Generally, for hunting evil beasts, five points of merit; for escort missions, ten points of merit...

They are all simple introductions. If you are interested, you can go to the window for consultation. If you think it can be completed, you can take over the task on the spot.The nun at the window will directly record it in the document for you.
