Chapter Seven: The Straight Path to Heaven, the City of Buddhism, and the Killing of Bodhicitta(3/3)
Qian Chen thought for a long time and found that even other Taoist masters could only imitate the Buddha, such as Taiyi, who saved the suffering, and their behavior was already biased towards Buddhism.
And the realm is higher, Taishang.
Too supreme to forget love, too supreme to be self-centered, too supreme to be in harmony with the Tao... He still can't understand it now.
"Karma comes with the heart, and it is most deadly when it is transmitted from heart to heart. I have faced many great enemies in the heavens and demon ancestors, but the kindness of an old woman made it impossible for me to deal with it."
Qian Chen actually knew that it wasn't that he couldn't deal with the old woman's heart.
What he cannot cope with is the way of the Buddha.
"Do I really want to cut off other people's hearts and build barriers in their hearts? As long as I can't understand other people's hearts, I can stick to myself? But if my self is so paranoid, doesn't it become a demon? If I can't cut off their hearts, then I can only cut them off.
My heart!"
"The suffering in his heart moved my heart to compassion, my compassion struck me, Bodhi sprouted, and I took that step into Buddhism?"
"No, I don't want to!"
"Never want to..."
Qian Chen put his hands on his knees. Although the cold light of the ice soul was invisible, the Guanghan Love-Severing Heavenly Sword was already in his hand. With a slash of the sword, he could cut off his mind and stop understanding the suffering of all sentient beings.
But there was still a voice in his heart telling himself that this was wrong!
Killing my heart has changed myself, but cutting other people's hearts is not the same.
One is the Buddha's heart, and the other is the demonic nature.
If the Buddha's mind is unmoved, he falls into the devil's nature? Isn't all the previous efforts in vain?
Qian Chen looked at the wooden bowl in his hand that was full of drinking water. Although it was rough and mixed together, like swill, it felt extremely heavy.
He sighed quietly: "I never thought... my sword would be disadvantageous!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and carefully swallowed the mixed food bit by bit.
There are many leftover meals among them.
