God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 726 Six Windows and One Ape

Before Xu Jingxing took the little monk's bracelet of Buddhist beads, he took out a wet towel and wiped his hands several times. After wiping them clean, he stretched out his hands and carefully took the string of Buddhist beads that didn't look so precious.

It was just a string of Buddhist beads, weighing only a few hundred grams, but it made his hands tremble uncontrollably. If he hadn't held it with both hands, he might have been thrown to the ground.

There is no way, the physical quality of such a string of Buddhist beads is insignificant, but the weight in other aspects is abnormally heavy.

To put it bluntly, the value of this string of Buddhist beads is not much worse than that of Zhao Mengfu's "The Autumn Colors of Magpie Flowers", and it is even more important in the religious world. After all, it is a wooden bracelet used by Zen Master Fahai. Things are different from metal instruments such as gold, silver and copper, and the difficulty of preservation is too high. It can be passed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and I don’t know how many catastrophes have been avoided.

If it hurt a little in his hand, then it was a slight friction, and it would not be too much to pull him out and shoot him ten times.

As soon as you get the bracelet, you can feel a special breath lingering around his body in an instant without paying special attention, nourishing his body and spirit from the outside to the inside, and there is a feeling of "breeze is always with me". The Buddha cleaned up the dirt on his body in an instant, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

Of course, this bracelet is not only good for him. The moment he got the bracelet, he felt that the aura in his body became active as if a catalyst had been added. It was not the irritable kind of activity, but very cheerful and excited That kind of activity, you can imagine how much benefit it will bring him if he wears this string of bracelets every day!
But thinking of what the little monk said just now, I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by consciousness?"

"Do you know the six consciousnesses mentioned by Buddhism? Eye consciousness, ear consciousness, mouth consciousness, nose consciousness, body consciousness, and consciousness. The consciousness I am talking about is this consciousness."

Of course Xu Jingxing knew the six senses, and he could even recite the explanations of the "six senses" from various people on the Internet. It is a comprehensive concept, a concept that combines the three elements of "root, environment, and consciousness". If you want to know what is "consciousness", you must know what is "root" and what is "environment".

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t understand at all. The first five senses are relatively easy to understand. They are nothing more than an abstract ability of eyes, ears, mouth, nose and body, similar to sight and hearing, but the sixth sense “consciousness” makes him a little He was confused, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what this "consciousness" was, and he couldn't find a feeling when he put his own situation into it.

These things are not meant to be understood just by understanding the theory. The most important thing is to combine the theory with your own actual situation to understand, and to integrate the theory and yourself into an organic and unified whole. This is the real understanding.

He is now in such a state of half-understanding. He looks at the theory and feels that he understands everything, but it has nothing to do with his own situation. The theory is a theory, and he is himself. The situation is completely different.

Now that I have finally met a real expert, I naturally have to seize the opportunity to ask for advice.

The little monk took the trouble to explain: "Actually, it's easy to understand. Let me give you an example." He pointed to the Huabuzhu Mountain in the distance, "You can see that mountain, you can see him. Is it the spirituality? Oh, according to what you said, it’s physicality.”

He nodded to show that he saw it. In fact, he did see it. He had seen it before, and now he could see it more clearly. Very conspicuous.

The little monk smiled and said, "This is the effect of consciousness."

"Consciousness? This, shouldn't it be the effect of eye consciousness?" He was a little surprised.

The little monk shook his head again and again, "Of course not, or not at all. Eye consciousness is eye consciousness. Eye consciousness can make you see farther and see more clearly, but unless you have cultivated clairvoyance, you can't see the nature of things, because you The physical properties you see are not visual effects, but the comprehensive effects of all aspects. According to us, what you see is the main body of Huabuzhu Mountain. As for ordinary people, what they see with their naked eyes is only one of the outer bodies of Huabuzhu Mountain. .”

"Six windows and one ape?" After listening to the little monk's explanation, he suddenly thought of a word and blurted it out.

The little monk applauded: "That's right, that's what it means, it seems you should understand."

He nodded silently, thinking about the words "six windows and one ape", but his heart became more and more transparent.

The so-called "six windows and one ape" is a term often used by the Yizhi sect of Buddhism when explaining the theory of one knowledge. To explain it in popular words, it means that there is an ape closed in the room, and there are six windows on the wall. You can only see the apes inside through one of the windows, and you need to practice to observe the apes inside through six windows at the same time.

And these six windows are the "six senses", corresponding to the six sense organs of a person, that is, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body and mind, and the root of the six senses is "consciousness", and only the consciousness can combine the "six senses" into an organic whole , allowing people to see the noumenon and original mind of things, the process of practice is the process of integrating the six senses into one.

Of course, most of the Buddhist theories are obscure, and even professionals will be puzzled by them. Otherwise, how can there be so many schools with different or even opposite meanings?Isn't everyone's understanding of these words different?

Xu Jingxing also explained the term "six windows and one ape" based on his own understanding and actual situation. Although there were deviations from the standard explanation, it was almost completely consistent with his actual situation.

According to the theory of one knowledge, his current situation is that he has reached the state of "traveling with one knowledge".

If he regards his current self as a super computer, and regards practice as a process of upgrading configuration, then normal practice is to upgrade the configuration little by little, first upgrade the power supply, then upgrade the motherboard, and then upgrade to a super computer step by step, and his It is a one-time upgrade success, the process is different, but the result is indeed no deviation.

Therefore, the true meaning of the theory of one knowledge is "one body of six senses", which is completely consistent with the explanation of the little monk.

That is to say, the physical nature of Huabuzhu Mountain he saw is actually the true appearance of Huabuzhu Mountain, the body of Huabuzhu Mountain, the whole picture of Huabuzhu Mountain, which can only be possessed after the six consciousnesses are united. ability.

Thinking about it this way, this kind of ability is not only found in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism also have similar content. They all teach people to see through falsehood and look directly at the body.
