Chapter 997 Three thousand incarnations
Since then, while practicing "the four elements are empty", Qin Di began to practice "the Buddha's light shines on the glass shadow".
First of all, he will produce the three Dharma bodies.
The so-called Dharma body represents the Buddha body formed by the condensation of Buddhist truth.
This was very difficult for Qin Di, because although he had recited many Buddhist scriptures, his Buddhist practice was not enough. Therefore, he kept asking several senior brothers and Master Xuyun, and also attended the ** debate between his disciples.
There are many disciples under the sect of Bodhi Patriarch, which is equivalent to a large sect of the Immortal Family.
So many people gather together, in addition to learning from the master, they must learn from each other and communicate with each other. Therefore, they will have a Dharma Assembly every ten years.
At the Dharma Assembly, in addition to inviting masters such as Miaosheng, Kongsheng, Shanxian, and Shanji, they will also discuss a topic around, and there will be fierce debates about controversial areas.
In the past, Qin Di only cared about his own practice and rarely participated in such Dharma Assembly.
Now, while he is working hard to study Buddhist scriptures, he has to attend such a Dharma Assembly because he can find the answers to the problem.
As the days pass by, his Buddhist realm is rapidly improving!
Sometimes, he even forgot that he was an immortal cultivator, just like he started practicing Buddhism since childhood, and became calm and happy, and like his master Bodhi Patriarch, he often pinched flowers and smiled.
It was not until one thousand five hundred years later that he successfully evolved into three Dharma bodies.
These Dharma bodies have strong strength, and their skills are equivalent to one-tenth of the true body. To be more specific, his current true body is the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, and then the Dharma body is equivalent to the ninth level of the Ancestral Immortal.
Why do you say that? This is because according to traditional sayings, every time the immortal cultivator is promoted to the first level, his skill will be at least doubled. From the first level of the Golden Immortal to the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, it will increase by at least eight times. Therefore, one-tenth of the fourth level of the Golden Immortal is approximately equivalent to the ninth level of the Ancestral Immortal.
With the strength of a ninth-level ancestral immortal, if you send it out to travel around the world, you can stand alone.
After that, he began to practice the Thirty-Two Responses.
The so-called response body refers to the body that Buddha monks change and appear according to circumstances in order to save sentient beings.
The response body is not only a human form, it can be manifested according to circumstances. The heaven sees it like the heaven, the human sees it like a human, the animal sees it like an animal, the hungry ghost sees it like a hungry ghost, and it appears as a hell body in hell!
It took Qin Di another eight hundred years to evolve the thirty-two responses.
Each response body is only one percent of the true body's skill. For example, if his true body is the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, then the response body is approximately the fifth level or sixth level of the Ancestral Immortal. It seems that his strength is not strong, but when his true body is cultivated to the Immortal Emperor in the future, the strength of the response body will also increase, and it may become very powerful.
Then, he began to evolve into three thousand incarnations.
The Three Thousand Incarnations are the minimum requirements Bodhi Patriarch has for him.
The true Bodhisattva of Wonderful Awakening can evolve into 100,000 incarnations, and when he reaches the realm of Buddha, he can evolve into 100,000 billion incarnations!
It was another five hundred years before he finally evolved into three thousand incarnations.
The power of each incarnation is only one ten thousandth of the true body.
For example, he is now the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, so his incarnation skills are only equivalent to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal.
The specific algorithm is as follows: to the thirteenth power of the second, close to ten thousand, and from the fourth level of the Golden Immortal to thirteenth level, it is about the eighth or ninth level of the celestial immortal.
Speaking of which, the strength of the ninth-level celestial immortal is far inferior to that of the golden immortal, but if you leave the fairy world and put it in the mundane world, it will still be very powerful.
The current Ancestral Star Earth is rare because of the lack of spiritual energy, even the Nascent Soul and Buxu cultivators! Isn’t it still a shocking god to put a ninth-level celestial immortal there?
The power of the incarnation is inversely proportional to the number of incarnations. For example, although Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea is very skilled, because she has hundreds of billions of incarnations, the strength of each incarnation may be only one billionth of that of the true body. Therefore, she joined forces with the other three great bodhisattvas to prevent the Jade Emperor, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, from absorbing blood and energy in the world!
Although Qin Di only has three thousand incarnations, it is far inferior to all Buddhas in terms of number! However, in terms of the skills of each incarnation, it may not be below the tens of billions of incarnations of all Buddhas.
The magic power of all Buddhas is also limited. Whether it is an immortal or a Buddha, there is no water without a source or a tree without roots. Every part of the skill is accumulated through hard practice.
Three thousand years have passed quickly and the Lingshan Dharma Assembly is about to begin.
On this day, the Bodhi Patriarch called Qin Di over again and said, "If you go to the Lingshan Dharma Assembly, don't go under your real name 'Qin Ku'. What about the master who gave you a Dharma name called 'Wuchen'?"
Qin Di said: "Thank you, Master, this name is very good, I like it. I would like to ask Master, do you have an apprentice with the magic name "Wukong"?"
Bodhi Patriarch said, "Wukong? He has been driven out of the master by me, and I don't know where to go to have a good time."
"Why did the master drive him away?"
"The wildness is not tamed and needs to be tempered."
"Master, what year did that happen?"
"I didn't have long before you came here. I passed on somersault cloud and the Seventy-Two Transformations to him, so I won't pass the same technique to other disciples anymore. I'm afraid that Wukong will cause trouble and pass the crime on others."
Qin Dixin said, "If Wukong has just been driven out, then the story of making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace has not happened yet! Maybe Wukong is still in Huaguo Mountain at this moment! But he doesn't know where Huaguo Mountain is located."
I heard the Bodhi Patriarch say, "A disciple, I don't care about your future, and I ask you to walk in the Pure Land of Buddha Sect only by the Dharma name "Wuchen". If you go out, you will be called "Qin Ku". Have you remembered it?"
Qin Di bowed and said, "Disciple understands, I dare not cause trouble for my master."
"Okay, this time, this time, I will attend the Lingshan Dharma Assembly. In addition to Miaosheng, Kongsheng, Shanxian, Shanji and you, there are Xuyun, Huiyuan, Yixing, Huaihai, Hongyi, and a total of ten people. You are following the elder brother Miaosheng. He has participated in the Lingshan Dharma Assembly five times. If you don't understand, you can go and ask him."
Qin Di was inexplicably happy because among these ten people, there were several familiar names!
For example, Yixing was a famous astronomer and Buddhist scholar in the Tang Dynasty, whose real name was Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui's great-grandfather was Zhang Gongjin, the hero of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Sui, Duke of Tan. Zhang Sui studied Lixiang and Yin and Yang and Five Elements hard since childhood. He was famous in Chang'an for his extensive knowledge in his youth. Later, he was ordained as a monk and named "Yixing". He studied Buddhist scriptures in Songshan, Tiantaishan, and Dangyangshan. He had translated many Buddhist scriptures and later became the leader of Tantric Buddhism.
He was not only a Buddhist monk, but also an astronomer. He created the armillary sphere and formulated the Tianyan calendar, and was a figure who appeared in later middle school textbooks.
For example, Master Hongyi, whose real name is "Li Shutong", is the person who wrote "outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, outside the sunset mountain", is the most outstanding monk in modern history, "Twenty articles shock the world", "The endless treasures offer the eyes of the world, and a full moon shines on the heart of the sky."?
For Qin Di, the one who is most interested is Master Hongyi’s proficiency in Zen and Buddhist chants, and he is an amazing Master of Buddha’s voice!
Before becoming a monk, he was a great musician, creating "Secret House", "Spring Outing", "Early Autumn", "West Lake", "Farewell", "Fall Flowers", "Sad Autumn", "Late Bell", "Moon", etc. The tunes are beautiful, catchy, amazing and admirable.
After becoming a monk, Master Hongyi studied Zen and Sanskrit chants carefully, and with his Buddhist chant and practiced the Buddhist chant and Vinaya, he advanced to the Bodhisattva of Equal Enlightenment.
Qin Di felt as if he was admiring such a character and was amazed.
"Oh, as a senior brother of the same school, why do I know now? I am really a frog in the well, I wish I had met too late!"
Among these ten senior brothers, he has only seen three or four, most of whom have never seen one.
Because these people either go to seclusion for many years or go out to preach the Dharma, and Qin Di himself is also in seclusion for practice, there are not many opportunities to meet each other.
Bodhi Patriarch waved his hand: "Go, be careful all the way, don't cause trouble."
