Teaching Buddhist Dharma
When Zhang Yang brought Wu Fa to White Cloud Peak, Azure Cloud Master was already there.
Although Wu Fa did not follow any set rules, the presence of the Azure Cloud Sect School Leader was naturally required for Wu Fa to formally become a disciple.
Upon meeting Baiyun Zi, Wu Fa understood why Zhang Yang insisted he become Baiyun Zi's disciple.
In front of Baiyun Zi could sense any impure thoughts he might have.
Fortunately, Wu Fa had no other thoughts. Upon seeing Baiyun Zi, he immediately kowtowed and became his disciple.
Baiyun Zi also earnestly accepted Wu Fa as his disciple.
After accepting Wu Fa as his disciple, Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, "Since you have fulfilled your requirements, I will now truly impart to you the Buddhist Dharma teachings I have come to understand."
"Please enlighten me!" Wu Fa bowed his head and prostrated himself on the ground to show his profound respect for Buddhist Dharma.
Zhang Yang slowly said, "I have observed the world and concluded that there are eight kinds of suffering in life!"
Birth, old age, sickness, and death; separation from loved ones; encountering those one hates; not getting what one desires; and the five aggregates (skandhas) in their excess—these are called the eight sufferings.
The supreme Buddhist Dharma -dharma can save all sentient beings.
If that's the case, then it's inevitable that we will alleviate the eight sufferings of humankind.
Similarly, those who possess the supreme Buddhist Dharma must also transcend the eight sufferings of life.
That's why some people become monks or nuns, detached from worldly desires.
How then can the supreme Buddhist Dharma deliver people from the eight sufferings?
Between life and death lies the Reincarnation.
In that case, the supreme Buddha Realm should transcend the Reincarnation.
Can everyone transcend the Reincarnation? Those who cultivate themselves sufficiently can transcend the Reincarnation!
Those who transcend the cycle of Reincarnation are those who have cultivated themselves sufficiently, and vice versa. Similarly, if someone keeps entering the Reincarnation, does that mean their cultivation is insufficient? If their cultivation is insufficient, then they can continue cultivating after Reincarnation!
Thus, the logic is self-consistent.
Azure Cloud Master was standing nearby, was startled, for the Cycle of Life and Death was the power of the Ghost Sovereign Realm.
If the supreme Buddhist Dharma truly transcends Reincarnation, wouldn't that be vying with the Ghost Sovereign Realm for the power of Reincarnation?
Therefore, wouldn't Buddhist Dharma, in its final development, inevitably lead to a confrontation with the Ghost Sovereign Realm?
He didn't understand Buddhist Dharma, so he could only listen from the sidelines without interfering.
Zhang Yang continued, "Then, we introduced the concepts of good and evil!"
Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
Therefore, when helping others, tell them that the reason they suffer in this life is because they did not cultivate enough in their previous life, which is why they are suffering in this life.
Since that's the case, shouldn't we learn from this experience, cultivate ourselves well in this life, and strive for a better next life?
This leaves one hope!
When the seed of hope is planted, the pain naturally lessens, and this becomes the driving force for spiritual practice in this lifetime.
Next, we will analyze aging and illness.
Since Reincarnation is just a process, what do old age and illness matter? When you get old, you enter the next cycle of non- Reincarnation or transcend it, and thus you can face death with equanimity.
The same applies to illness: if it can be cured, then treat it; if it can't be cured, then you can peacefully pass on to the Reincarnation!
"The Buddha has a compassionate heart, but also a fierce and wrathful one. He uses his compassion to guide and enlighten people, but if there are unruly and incorrigible individuals who cannot be guided, then he naturally uses the fierce and wrathful methods to eliminate them."
"Those who commit the greatest evils will immediately descend to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. The Eighteen Levels of Hell is a realm even lower than death, where the evil of the world can be washed away! In this way, people will be prevented from doing evil, and those who do evil will be filled with fear."
"Those who commit evil have butcher knives in their hands, so naturally we should persuade them to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot! But they haven't laid down their knives, what if you can't defeat them?"
Zhang Yang first introduced Buddhist Dharma in Buddhist Dharma general framework before proceeding to explain the system of Mind Power within Buddhist Dharma to Wu Fa.
He continued, "Finally, there are the Buddhist Dharma scriptures!"
I had already read some scriptures when I was on the Prodigy Battlefield last time.
In that scripture, the world is understood through the concepts of 'form' and 'emptiness'.
Anything that can be touched, seen, or heard is form; conversely, anything that cannot be touched or seen is emptiness.
These two are opposites yet unified, which is why we have the concepts of form being emptiness and emptiness being form!
From this point, we can expand outwards to that section of scripture."
He read the entire Heart Sutra, cramming all these Buddhist Dharma teachings into Wu Fa's mind.
Wu Fa remained prostrate on the ground, listening attentively to Zhang Yang's explanation of the entire Buddhist Dharma.
He had already been studying Buddhist Dharma for several years in Azure Cloud City, and now, with Zhang Yang's guidance, his understanding of Buddhist Dharma was advancing rapidly.
Even more terrifying, he received the transmission of an entire Buddhist Dharma system.
Therefore, although he was prostrate on the ground, a grand vision of Buddhist Dharma was already unfolding behind him.
The faint chanting was barely audible.
Upon seeing this situation, Azure Cloud Master's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly invoked the power of the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation to seal off the entire White Cloud Peak, concealing the aura of his Wu Fa.
Otherwise, everyone would probably know what's going on with White Cloud Peak.
On the Azure Cloud Sect's premises, all the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect looked at White Cloud Peak with curiosity.
They all sensed that White Cloud Peak had been isolated.
What exactly is happening there?
He had been waiting to visit the Zhang Yang Kong Shan, but he was also filled with doubt.
What exactly happened to White Cloud Peak?
It took five whole days for White Cloud Peak, which had been isolated, to reappear in everyone's sight.
At this moment, Wu Fa, with a devout expression, bowed to Zhang Yang and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Eldest Senior Brother. I entrust the matter of Karmic Origin Temple to you."
Next, I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion at Karmic Origin Temple for a while.
Ten years later, I should be able to return to Return to Origin Temple."
Zhang Yang nodded. "Let's go to Azure Cloud City. Junior Brother Jiang has already prepared the address for Karmic Origin Temple for you, but you will need to personally oversee its construction."
However, you must remember that the arising and ceasing of conditions Buddhist Dharma!
Furthermore, the more profound your Buddhist Dharma becomes, the more careful you should be of the Ghost Realm.
When one's understanding of Buddhist Dharma reaches its profoundest point, it will inevitably extend its reach into the Cycle of Life and Death.
"At that time, the Ghost Realm will come looking for trouble with you."
Wu Fa smiled and said, "Senior brother, you said that Buddhist Dharma should have both compassion and wrath. In that case, let's see what attitude the Ghost Realm has, and then what means we should use to deal with it."
After saying this, Wu Fa returned to Azure Cloud City to find Jiang Zhiqiu and claim the land belonging to Karmic Origin Temple.
Although he learned about the Buddhist Dharma system from Zhang Yang, he still needed to go into seclusion to organize all the systems into his own Buddhist Dharma.
Once all these Buddhist Dharma are successfully compiled, his Buddhist Dharma will reach a terrifying level.
That was a terrifying power far exceeding any cultivation level!
Having witnessed all of Buddhist Dharma's teachings, Baiyun Zi glanced at the departing Wu Fa before turning back to Zhang Yang and saying, "His Buddhist Dharma understanding has probably surpassed everyone at Return to Origin Temple. If this power continues to grow, I'm afraid..."
She couldn't imagine how powerful that must be.
Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang and asked, "Buddha Dao?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yang replied.
Beyond Celestial, Demon, Monster and Ghost, Buddha Dao will be established once more!
Of course, this is on the premise that the Wu Fa's Buddhist Dharma is so powerful that no one can take away the fruit of enlightenment from him!
