Seeing is not the same as understanding, and understanding is not the same as enlightenment.

This is an unchanging principle in spiritual practice.

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, Qiao Cairen, his daughter, and Eunuch Zheng were all dumbfounded. It was hard to imagine that Zhao Ji, who had always been arrogant and talented, would be so respectful to Shen Yue.

Zhao Ji was talented, but he relied on his talent to act arrogantly. Zhao Ji was actually a proud and arrogant person, so he didn't listen to other people's suggestions. Now he asked others for advice, which was something he had never done before he ascended the throne.

He finally saw another world and wanted to try to understand it.

Shen Yue did not avoid Zhao Ji's gaze, but said, "Shen doesn't have any high opinions on national affairs."

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, then said, "Mr. Shen is too modest. In my mind, if there is a first-class genius in this world, it must be Mr. Shen."

Shen Yue was not at all complacent.

Seeing Zhao Ji's eager eyes, Shen Yue finally said, "Shen is just a practitioner."

"Practitioner?" Zhao Ji murmured, thinking hard.

In the dream, Shen Yue's vision and ability amazed him, and his respect came from admiration.

No matter whether he went to Beijing or the maze, Shen Yue did not treat Zhao Ji in any special way, nor did he despise and ridicule him. When he arrived in Bianjing, facing Zhao Ji with a different identity, Shen Yue still had a peaceful attitude. Based on this alone, he let him Zhao Ji admired him deeply.

Having lived in two lifetimes, he can still understand some things after all.

Shen Yue added, "Practice is most important in the present moment."

Zhao Ji's eyes showed confusion.

Li Bin couldn't help but said, "Sir, do you mean to change, at this moment?"

Shen Yue nodded slightly, "No matter how you change the past, it's hard to predict the future. Although your next thought or line may not necessarily lead to enlightenment and understanding of the nature of your mind, it will help you achieve the results you want. If you can't think of it, nothing will be accomplished. If you have a good thought, Just follow it casually, like a thread on a spider's thread."

Zhao Ji listened attentively.

Shen Yue immediately said, "But a single thread cannot form a thread, and a single thread cannot form a network. If you only rely on a single thread, if you want to get the rewards of your kind thoughts, it is just a dream."

Zhao Qiaoyun was slightly startled.

Seeing that her father treated Shen Yue so politely, she knew better about Shen Yue's abilities. Now when Shen Yue suddenly talked about good and evil, that was what confused her, and she couldn't help but listen carefully.

Shen Yue continued, "Can those kind thoughts be rewarded in the end?"

Everyone nodded and shook their heads.

Shen Yue revealed the answer in an instant, "Even if the spider threads form a web, if there is a strong wind and rain, without waiting for harvest, it may turn into dust and there will be no reward."

Zhao Qiaoyun couldn't help but said in despair, "Mr. Shen, in your opinion, kindness is useless?"

Most people feel this way, secretly thinking about the teachings of eminent monks in the world who emphasize that good and evil will be rewarded. No one has ever said that good intentions are useless like Shen Yue.

Shen Yue shook his head, "If the spider doesn't spin silk and build a web with this intention, it will soon become dust and there will be no benefit."

Li Bin scratched his head and said, "Sir, the Dharma is so profound that it is difficult for us to become enlightened."

Since Zhao Ji became a fanatical believer, Shen Yue can be said to be the first person to talk about Buddhism in front of Zhao Ji.

After Li Bin said this, everyone nodded again, thinking to himself that what Shen Yue said was true, but it seemed useless to build a net, and it was wrong not to build a net, so what should we do?

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Just because you have good and evil thoughts in your heart, you only build a web for blessings. The blessings are like spiders spinning webs and other consequences. They may not arrive, or they may be empty in the end. They are immeasurable. This is also the reason why the four elements are empty." "

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had realized something.

Zhao Qiaoyun also realized something and was silent for a moment, "Therefore, the Diamond Sutra says - in this way, countless and boundless sentient beings can be annihilated, but in fact no sentient being can be annihilated."

She suddenly responded with scriptures, which made Qiao Cairen very anxious. He thought to himself, His Majesty, "If you talk about Buddhist scriptures, aren't you bringing disaster on yourself?"

However, Zhao Ji suddenly woke up and said, "Why? If a Bodhisattva has the appearance of me, the appearance of a human being, the appearance of living beings, or the appearance of a person with a long life, then he is not a Bodhisattva."

What he said was also a scripture, exactly what Qiao Yun said.

Shen Yue nodded slowly, "It seems that both the Holy One and Qiao Yun have realized something. That's exactly what it is. You will be confused by the appearance, and you will wake up if you don't understand."

"Therefore, this is the true meaning of the mind having nothing to live in but its own mind."

A childish voice sounded outside Lanxiuxuan, and the speaker was a girl. From a distance, she looked like a cluster of flowers, and when she walked closer, she felt like a knot in her heart.

It was Saiyue who answered.

Sai Yue looked at Shen Yue and said softly, "Although the Diamond Sutra has a thousand words, the essence of it is to reach the state where the Diamond Sutra can be broken, with only four words: 'unabsorbed mind'."

The full name of the Diamond Sutra is the Sutra that can break the Vajra Prajnaparamita.

Shen Yue looked at Sai Yue with a smile, "Very good, you finally understand."

Looking at the child in front of him, he seemed to see Shiying in the future. Of course, Shiying was more enlightened than before.

Sai Yue, like Zhao Ji and others, remembered everything that had happened!

All changes seem to take a long time, but when they change, they are so rapid?

Saiyue lowered her head and whispered: "Saiyue finally understood, but it was a lot late."

If your mind is not lost, you will wake up from a dream.

The mind is confused, and waking up is like a dream.

The room was silent, and most of the people were thinking over and over the conversation between a few people. Some people really understood it, while others were still confused.

Qiao Cairen thought to himself - what Mr. Shen said is very confusing, but as long as the Lord likes it, it is a good thing.

Zhao Qiaoyun was surprised when she saw Sai Yue's expression. She could not see the aura of a child from Sai Yue's body, but she seemed to have just the thoughts of a daughter.

How could Sai Yue have such a big change in just half a day's effort?

After a long while, Zhao Ji sighed softly, "I see. I pride myself on my talent and also read the Diamond Sutra. Today I understand the meaning of the sutra. I am very ashamed."

Eunuch Zheng was surprised and couldn't understand why Zhao Ji behaved so abnormally today.

"It seems that the spider web has to be tied, but how to tie the spider web?" Zhao Ji finally said.

Shen Yue sighed secretly. As soon as he heard Zhao Ji's question, he knew that Zhao Ji still didn't understand the true meaning.

In fact, regardless of Buddhism, true cultivation of the truth is nothing more than hiding the truth.

The Diamond Sutra teaches you to have a non-absorbed mind, which means that even if you enter a vat of dye, you should come out like a white lotus. The rest of the words in the sutra only teach you how to be non-absorbed and undefiled. That’s why the phrase “all conditioned dharmas are like the bubbles of a dream”. , like dew, like electricity, you should observe like this." To conclude, we emphasize again that you must have no abiding mind.

The law is right.

Does the righteous Dharma require the Illusion View, let alone other evil ways and supernatural powers?

The Taoist concept of non-dwelling is inaction.

What is inaction?

It’s not that you don’t do it, but I advise you to be less driven by desires. Only when you are truly inaction that is not driven by desires can you achieve great things.

Dawei is about repairing bones or enlightening the Tao.

The true essence of the thousands of words in the Buddhist scriptures is actually very simple. Only those three thousand leftists use their desire to cultivate magical powers to urge people to fall into them. This is contrary to true practice.

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and asked how to tie the spider web, but he could only say that he had awakened to be ambitious, but not enlightened.

But these are extremely subtle differences, and it is difficult to distinguish them without wisdom.

Shen Yue understood these differences, but felt that it was a good thing that Zhao Ji had a desire to change.

Making changes in the present moment is always the most important point for practitioners.

"Your Majesty, if so"

Before Shen Yue could say more, there was some noise outside, and then a fragrant breeze blew in, and a woman shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, a woman had already passed by Shen Yue and others and arrived at Zhao Ji's side.

Zhao Ji looked slightly cold.

Li Bin stood in front of Zhao Ji and whispered, "Concubine Xian, please step back."

The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she waved her hand and gave Li Bin a slap in the face.
