Chapter 0004: Buddhist Incantations
The original master had heard of Mingyue Monastery from Master Yuan Zhi.
What is the purpose of coming here
Disciple, before each visit to Mount Ten Thousand Buddhas, you should first listen to me recite the Heart Purification Mantra, and then listen to it again upon your return
There were also a few senior brothers who sought to intercede, but they were all rejected by Master Yuanming, who agreed to let me go
As the sun sets in the west, the sky and the lake are filled with rosy clouds
He cast the Tranquility Spell on a fish, and after casting it once, he switched to another fish. With each casting, he felt increasingly empowered.
As the law of emptiness gently closes the eyelids, the seal formed by slender fingers continuously shifts, while the lips move without producing sound
This feeling is very easy to become addictive
Fa Kong nodded slowly and earnestly
Fanning cautiously said, "It was my initiative."
Continuously and endlessly, it fell upon him and was then projected onto that fish through his handprint
Indeed, there are not so many beautiful things in the world; one tends to think too optimistically.
Great Compassion Mantra
It is too late to say anything now
Nun
He quickly regained his composure and adjusted his mindset: gaining forty-eight days of lifespan in a day is not bad at all
Saving one hundred years of lifespan in two years, gritting one's teeth and burying oneself in work allows one to get through it
What scripture?
Is this a gain? Huinan arrived at the small pavilion with his hands behind his back
What is the miraculous effect of the Diamond Sutra? Is it because it is the handwriting of the patriarch, or is it due to the Western Kṣitigarbha? Or is it something else?
is a disciple who practices with a shaved head
Fakong frowned
To be able to focus on multiple tasks while concentrating on one, this subtle state of being both scattered and unified cannot be taught; it relies entirely on personal exploration, and some may spend their entire lives without achieving it
Master Huinan has a bad temper and a sharp tongue, but his heart is not bad. He speaks the truth and conveys genuine matters, even showing himself the invaluable Xijia palm leaves, clearly treating himself as one of his own.
... ...
He truly felt a sense of regret, encountering someone so intelligent for the first time
It is a pity that one is born at an inopportune time, in the age of decline, where the vehicle of wisdom is severed.
Huinan smiled: "True curse?"
Next time, saving this fish again, three recitations of the rejuvenation incantation will suffice
Satisfied and content, Fa Kong said today: "Master Ancestor, I would like to invite Junior Brother Fa Ning to help out in the Medicine Valley."
"What do you think Xijia Beiye is?" Huinan said irritably: "A legendary object!"
Fan Ning expressed: "The relationship between our two temples is very good, but unfortunately I have never seen the disciples of Mingyue Monastery; they are too mysterious, and the disciples do not leave the monastery."
The fish in the lake are not afraid of people; as he approaches, they gather around, eager to snatch the food.
He displayed a look of longing.
The Buddhist mantra requires the unity of body, speech, and mind, with hand gestures, vocal recitation of the mantra, and mental visualization, all three elements must work together seamlessly
Then it was said that among the Great Snow Mountains, only four monasteries possess the Buddhist scriptures engraved on the Xijia Baye: the Great Thunder Sound Monastery, the Vajra Monastery, the Bright Moon Hermitage, and the Flying Heaven Monastery
Finding Master Ancestor Huinan may also be impossible
The recitation of the Buddha can have an effect on the external world and even the ten directions, but unfortunately, there is no Buddha in this world
The water flows as fine as a thread. And books.
Fanning? You have a truly beautiful imagination, get lost!
... ...
After reciting the Thirty-Six Buddha Mantras once more, Fa Kong opened his eyes and said: "Master Ancestor, there are three true mantras"
Fakong shook his head in self-deprecation
I have not yet inquired about it; I will inquire further. The Mingyue An...
Master Yuanming said it was because Master Huinan had spoken. Master Faning smiled and said, "Is it that you sought help from Master Huinan, Senior Brother?"
This does not stem from martial arts, but rather from the aura cultivated in a previous life
Intuition arises spontaneously
It turned around, flicked its tail, and swiftly disappeared into the emerald green water plants at the bottom of the lake
... ...
"Mingyue An, with unparalleled beauty," Fa Kong said with a smile
For practitioners, Buddhist mantras are merely a form of self-empowerment, applicable only within their own inner world and cannot interfere with the external world
Huinan still wanted to laugh, but seeing the serious expression on Kong Shen's face, he swallowed the sarcastic words and snorted, saying: "You are indeed somewhat clever, but unfortunately, your aptitude is lacking; you should just focus on cultivating medicine instead!"
Fa Ning smiled and said, "Senior brother, rest assured, nothing will happen."
These three spells only require diligent practice to be cast, while the remaining twenty-nine are of no use
Disciples who have shaved their heads do not step outside the Mingyue Monastery except when on official duty, completely isolating themselves from the mundane world.
When he frowned, an invisible sense of oppression naturally emerged
"Senior Brother," Fa Ning said joyfully, "Master Yuanming has agreed to come and help me!"
Isn't it true that others do not dare to go
Heart Purification Mantra
The disciples of Mingyue An each possess a physique as pure as ice and jade, with an extraordinary temperament.
Reciting the rejuvenation incantation over and over again, at first there was nothing but emptiness. After thirty recitations, a jade bottle appeared above the void, a jade bottle that only he could see
Mortal beings recite Buddhist mantras, visualize the Buddha, and adopt the posture of the Buddha, merely seeking to borrow a trace of the Buddha's power
Hmph, clever? Very well, then listen!" Huinan was too lazy to say more: "Great Brightness Mantra!"
Huainan gazed at him thoughtfully
A sense of tranquility envelops the small pavilion
He then asked Huinan whether there were still any Buddhist scriptures recorded in the Xijia Baye.
Senior brother, from now on, you can leave all the miscellaneous tasks in the valley to me. I only need to deliver meals to Mount Wanfo twice a day, and I have no other duties.
Mingyue An enjoys great renown, not only because it is one of the Upper Nine Temples of the Great Snow Mountain, ranked even higher than the Vajra Temple, but also due to its unique heritage
Once one shaves their head, they are completely separated from the secular world, wholeheartedly turning towards Buddha
He regained his spirits and asked, "Does the master ancestor understand the Buddhist incantations?"
Hmm? Ten Thousand Buddha Peak
Be careful. Fa Kong could only shake his head helplessly
... ...
In the lake, a fish has burst its scales, floating on the shore in a dying state, its belly already turned up.
... ...
Which incantation?" Huinan said with a sarcastic smile
He turned and left.
"The law of emptiness acknowledges."
Huinan took out a yellowed Buddhist scripture from his bosom and handed it to Fakong, saying: "The fundamental scripture of our Vajra Temple is the Diamond Sutra, while other Buddhist texts serve as supplements to assist in understanding; do not confuse the primary with the secondary"
A gentle breeze sweeps over the wall, and the green bamboo rustles softly.
The jade bottle tilted, and the water inside poured down onto him
The Medicine Buddha recites the same mantra in synchrony with oneself
After reciting the "Amitabha Sutra" once with my eyes closed, I opened them after a moment and asked, "Master Ancestor, are there any other sutras?"
Ah?
Master, I wish to further contemplate a Buddhist scripture
He attempted to cast the Tranquil Heart Spell on a fish in the lake, and surprisingly, it was effective
Finally, after reading through the eighteen volumes of Buddhist scriptures, I shook my head in disappointment
Everyone wants to learn
Mingyue An has two groups of disciples: those who practice with hair and those who have shaved their heads, which refers to lay disciples and monastic disciples
Fakong smiled
Buddha mantra, the mantra recited by the Buddha
When a lay disciple reaches the Heavenly Origin Realm, they descend from the mountain to refine their heart amidst the mundane world, until they see through the illusions of the world and grow weary of worldly affairs, at which point they may shave their head and become a monk
Those senior brothers who encountered accidents all shared similar thoughts as you. Fa Kong's expression darkened slightly
Rest assured, Senior Brother! Fa Ning said with a nonchalant smile, "By the way, Senior Brother, we have a distinguished guest at our temple, a disciple from Mingyue Monastery."
Rebirth Mantra
is.
... ...
Yes
The disciple takes his leave
Let the master take charge
The monk paused in his chanting of the Buddhist mantra, stood up, and patted his monk's robe. Although the robe was gray and resistant to dirt, he still managed to keep it spotless
After flipping through a Buddhist scripture, he closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened his eyes again, flipped through the scripture once more, and then closed his eyes again
It is settled!
Do not even think about visiting those four temples, as they are shrouded in secrecy; even if he were to sacrifice his own face, it would be of no use.
... ... waiting. Hui Nan looked at him, ultimately asking nothing, turned around and went back into the room to take out ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures and spread them out on the stone table
The Rejuvenation Spell is indeed effective, and more importantly, with each casting, the Rejuvenation Spell becomes stronger.
Fa Kong smiled at him: "Do you think I won't be able to learn? My martial arts aptitude may not be sufficient, but my intelligence is adequate."
... ...
... ...
Huinan possesses an extraordinary memory, able to remember everything at a glance and learn effortlessly. With unwavering faith, he recited thirty-six Buddhist mantras in one breath, applying all that he had learned.
He then offered a peach and shared his discovery
When Faning came over to deliver the dinner, he had a beaming smile on his face
The fish with a white belly, after undergoing the rejuvenation spell five times, had its shed scales explode away, returning to its original state
You wish to learn Buddhist mantras
"Hmm, it seems to be true ascetic practice." Fa Kong nodded
Fa Kong smiled and said: "In the end, Master Yuanming has agreed, for sincerity can open even metal and stone."
Even if one's appearance is not particularly beautiful, the unique charm and the grace of a refined demeanor can still be pleasing to the eye
Rejuvenation Spell
Within the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak, six top masters of the Demon Sect are suppressed, and delivering meals can easily lead to being bewitched by them
The law of emptiness bathed in the glow of the sunset, sitting cross-legged on the lush green grass, casting a rejuvenation spell towards the lake that shimmered like colorful brocade
The monk Yuanming sent Faning away, likely because he perceived Faning's nature to be pure and his talents to be extraordinary, making him less susceptible to the temptations of the demonic sect's martial arts.
Yes
Well... then it will be the "Amitabha Sutra"
