"That's all nonsense. How can anyone tell whether it's a boy or a girl just by listening to his breath?"

Lu Zhengkang pulled her along and said, "I can just hear it, just like I can hear your breathing."

These words made Qing Ningzi relax somewhat, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

They were walking on the roadside when Fahai suddenly ran up to Lu Zhengkang, folded his hands and saluted, "Master Lu Wang, please help me clarify my doubts."

Lu Zhengkang knew what he was thinking. Fa Hai had feelings for Xiao Qing, but he had devoted his whole life to suppressing his emotions. He was a very contradictory and painful monk.

"What's your problem?"

Fa Hai raised his head, looked at Qing Ningzi next to Lu Zhengkang, and then said bluntly: "If I become a Buddha and an ancestor, can I get married?"

Lu Zhengkang nodded, "Of course it's okay."

"So, those rules and regulations are for us mortals, but they can't restrain the Buddhas?"

Lu Zhengkang was also very calm, "Yes."

Fahai closed his eyes, feeling the pain of his faith collapsing, "Why?"

"Because Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also have love. Since we love the world, we can naturally love someone. Fahai, what do you think is practice?"

"In practice, you should have bodhicitta, vajra practice, slay external demons, eliminate internal evils, and be brave and diligent. Only in this way can you achieve immeasurable."

Lu Zhengkang shook his head.

"Can a Bodhisattva speak frankly?"

"The external demons cannot be eliminated, and the internal evils cannot be eliminated. You are in a sea of ​​suffering. If you cannot be empty, how can you see the Tathagata?"

"If I can do nothing, can I become a Buddha?"

"It's impossible. At most, it can only achieve Arhat status."

"Can an Arhat get a wife?"

"Since you love that Xiaoqing so much, just go find her. Why are you so awkward?"

"Amitabha, the young monk still has to abide by the precepts." Fahai looked cold and hard.

Qing Ningzi shook his head and smiled secretly.

Lu Zhengkang hesitated, "If you want to see the Bodhisattva state, I'll show you. How far you can achieve it all depends on you." He formed the Zhi Fist Seal again.

Fahai's eyes were filled with chaos. He stumbled and fell suddenly towards the West Lake, causing huge splashes of water.

…

Fahai's consciousness was clear, but his magic power was gone. His body was mortal and he was about to drown. After severe physical pain, his soul fell out, and his body fell to the bottom of the water, mixed in the mud, while his soul was still floating.

He felt in a daze that he was about to enter reincarnation.

There is nothing in the world after death, but he feels very transparent, like the bottom of a barrel has been taken off, empty, empty of worries, empty of desires, empty of attachments, such an empty world, he can't touch colors, touch There is no sound, no sense of smell or touch, no Dharma, no clear rules and precepts.

This is the realm that Fahai has been pursuing all his life. Even if he recited ten thousand lines of mighty heavenly dragons or ten thousand lines of Prajna Buddha, he could not achieve this state.

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng has a very famous verse. Many people will recite it silently after hearing it and regard it as a wise saying. It is precisely "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust." In this regard, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren’s comment was simply “I have not yet seen nature.”

There are countless dusts and endless worries in the world. If you empty yourself out, you can certainly be purified, but this will also isolate you from Mahayana Buddhism.

Fahai felt so at ease and happy in the empty room that he almost forgot about missing Xiaoqing. Now he is an Arhat, who has cut off all hobbies and desires, and is freed from troubles. Arhat means killing the enemy, that is, killing. The meaning of trouble, of course, was also trouble for Xiaoqing's love, and it was also killed.

Just now he asked the Bodhisattva, can an Arhat get a wife?

But when he really became an Arhat, he no longer had any thoughts of marrying a wife.

Since everything has become empty, it is natural to go to reincarnation. The Arahant will not suffer from ignorance and can retain wisdom in reincarnations. As long as he is reincarnated many times, he may be able to achieve Ayutarasamyaksambodhi.

When his eyes were dim, he caught a glimpse of the beautiful shadow of a green snake swimming in the West Lake. Even without the light, Fa Hai still saw her. He lost his voice and said: Xiao Qing!

There is no sound, Xiaoqing is swimming around, happy and free, she is a carefree monster.

Fa Hai tried his best to move towards Xiao Qing, but he was getting farther and farther away. He came to his senses and realized that he was an Arhat now. He should not have these worries or any worries. He stopped moving, but Xiao Qing came back again.

The Xiaoqing in front of her is the same as before when Fahai asked her to stir up her desires. But now, she is still there, but she is no longer troubled. What Fahai sees is Xiaoqing, not Xiaoqing, so she is Xiaoqing. .

Every man hopes to have two women in his life: White Snake and Green Snake. What Fahai sees in front of him is not the one named Xiaoqing, but actually the existence of his own desires. She is real, flesh and blood, and transcends the individual. The existence of inner prejudice. Everyone sees others in a one-sided way. Even if they see themselves, they are also one-sided. Only by removing prejudice can we have universal respect and see nature.

Xiao Qing was cruising beside him, Bai Suzhen was cruising beside him, Xu Xian was cruising beside him, the monks from Jinshan Temple were cruising beside him, countless people and countless demons were cruising around, they were the West Lake. Fahai fell into In the West Lake, he felt the invisible connection between sentient beings. What is that? Love? The world is like the sea, and the sea has endless waves. Don't be obsessed with the birth and death of the waves. The waves are also part of the sea and belong to the sea. A single form. Dependent origination and cessation are like bubbles in a dream. Everything is empty. It is seen that all Buddhas are the appearance of sentient beings.

Fahai felt his own strength. From this boundless love, he used Buddhism as a boat, floated, and rose to the surface of the West Lake. The sun shone everywhere, and the vast lake sea was filled with thousands of sails. Fahai laughed loudly, and that
