Qin Tiexin cleared his throat and began to read.
"If the heart is clear, all dharmas will pass through. With the pure heart as the root, recite and hold the Buddha's name and sutra verses as the guide, let Sea of Sound turn into loving light, inject it into the five internal organs, and temper the meridians..."
Just after reading the first paragraph, Ming'an's body suddenly trembled slightly.
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and he put a hand on his chest.
"Brother!"
Qin Tiexin stopped. "What's wrong?"
"I... I feel warm here." Ming'an's voice was surprised and happy, "It seems like there is a warm current flowing here in my chest."
He pressed his chest with his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, and the expression on his face was both surprised and a little scared, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Qin Tiexin looked at him and said nothing.
He didn't expect that he would feel it the first time.
The guidance method of "Clear Heart Sutra" is longer than that of "Lesser Yang Meridian-Warming Canon", and its content is more profound, involving Buddha nature, aspiration power, and Sea of Sound transformation.
He read it to himself, but still didn't fully understand its meaning.
But Ming'an only listened to it once, and his body started to react.
Qin Tiexin suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued reading.
"Recite and uphold it every day, without stopping or slacking off, Sea of Sound will gradually deepen, the light of compassion will gradually flourish, and all the internal organs will be affected by it. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and the heart of compassion will become stronger, Merit Sand will gradually arise in Dantian. This is the foundation stone of Buddhism..."
He read Cultivation Method's opening guide to Ming'an word for word.
Ming'an sat cross-legged in front of him, his small body erect, listening extremely attentively. His eyes were unblinking, as if he was afraid of missing a word.
After reading the last sentence, Qin Tiexin put away Jade Slip and looked at Ming'an.
"Ming'an, how many do you remember?"
Ming'an closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
Then he began to recite.
"If the heart is clear, all dharmas will be understood. With the pure heart as the root, recite and hold the Buddha's name and sutra verses as the guide, let Sea of Sound turn into loving light..."
His voice had a childish tone, which was very immature, but the content he recited was smooth and accurate. The first half was almost word for word, and the second half was a little stumbling, but the general idea was correct.
Qin Tiexin was stunned.
With the assistance of Divine Sense, he recited the Cultivation Method lesson once, but he didn't even remember it all.
Ming'an A five- or six-year-old child can recite most of it after listening to it once?
"Brother, I don't quite remember some parts later." Ming'an opened his eyes, a little embarrassed, "Can you read it again?"
Qin Tiexin nodded and read it again.
This time, Ming'an has memorized almost everything. There are only two or three places that need to be reminded, and the rest are memorized by heart.
Qin Tiexin read it again.
After reading it for the third time, Ming'an was able to recite the entire Cultivation Method from beginning to end, every word was good.
He sat there with his eyes closed and his lips moving slightly, as if he was reciting silently. His small body was steady, and a very light Spiritual Qi seeped out from under his skin, vaguely like morning mist.
Qin Tiexin looked at him, secretly surprised.
Could this kid be a genius?
Or, is this "Clear Heart Sutra" particularly suitable for Ming'an?
He did not disturb Ming'an, got up and walked into the room, took out a piece of rice paper and began to copy Cultivation Method.
In addition to the general outline of the guide at the front, he wrote down the full text of "Clear Heart Sutra" word for word, with neat handwriting and no sloppiness.
After copying, he checked it again to make sure there were no errors or omissions, and then walked out with the rice paper.
Ming'an had opened his eyes, and when he saw the paper in Qin Tiexin's hand, his eyes lit up again.
"Brother, is this for me?"
Qin Tiexin nodded and handed the rice paper to him. "From now on, I will follow this thought and practice according to the requirements above. Remember, you must practice every day without interruption."
Ming'an took the rice paper with both hands, looked down, looked up at Qin Tiexin, and said solemnly, "Brother, don't worry, Ming'an will practice every day."
Qin Tiexin touched his little bald head.
He wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say. This kid was much more reliable than he thought and didn't need any more advice from him.
"Go ahead and go back to the house to practice."
Ming'an nodded, hugged the rice paper and the string of beads, and returned to the west wing.
After a while, the childish sound of Ming'an chanting sutras came from the west wing room.
"If the mind is clear, everything will be understood..."
The voice was intermittent, with a childish tone, but was meticulous.
Qin Tiexin Close your eyes and listen to the voice, your heart suddenly calms down.
He took out the Jade Slip of "Blood Qi Heavy Abyss" from Storage Bag, held it in his hand, put Divine Sense into it, and began to study it.
Ming'an's affairs are arranged.
Next, it was his turn.
He read the content in Jade Slip several times, and the more he read, the more he felt that this martial art was suitable for him. However, the threshold for training was not low and required a strong support from Qi and Blood, so he had to spend time to ponder it carefully.
In the west wing room, Ming'an was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with the string of dusty beads on his knees.
He has already practiced Cultivation Method in "Clear Heart Sutra".
According to Cultivation Method, he closed his eyes and regarded the sound of the sutras he was reciting as a "wave" to listen to the sound reverberating in the room and vibrating in his ears. The sound of the sutras recited came out of his mouth over and over again, and echoed into his ears over and over again.
At the Tanzhong point on the chest, the warm current is more obvious than before.
Ming'an can feel that the warm current is soft and broad, like sea water warmed by the sun. Cultivation Method says that this is a sign of the sprouting of "Seed of Compassion".
Following the method in Cultivation Method, he transformed the chanting sound into loving light and injected it into the internal organs. Once, twice, or three times, each time he chanted it, the warmth in his body became stronger.
Just when Cultivation Method was circulating for the last time today, the bracelet on Ming'an's knee suddenly changed.
The golden-white bead lit up slightly in the darkness.
The light was very faint, like an oil lamp, crumbling but not extinguished.
Ming'an opened his eyes and saw the light of the beads. He was stunned for a moment, and then carefully picked up the string.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
The voice was gentle and clear, with an indescribable compassion. It was a very young voice, but it also had a hint of the vicissitudes of the world.
"Little monk, how long have you been practicing this Cultivation Method?"
Ming'an was startled and almost threw the bracelet away.
He looked around and saw that he was the only one in the room. The windows were closed and the door was closed. The senior brother was in the main room and was far away, so it was impossible for the sound to reach him.
Is that sound coming from the bracelet?
"You... who are you?" Ming'an asked in a low voice, his voice trembling a little.
The voice was silent for a moment, as if it hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, or as if it was reminiscing about something.
"The name of the poor monk is Chengxin. Little monk, what is your name?"
Ming'an swallowed and replied, "The poor monk's name is Ming'an. Today... today is the first day of practice."
Chengxin.
Such a familiar name.
