Chapter 124 Through Ignorance
The abbot's remarks shocked and surprised all the black and white people present.
He actually said that the person in front of him had broken through ignorance and was a living Buddha in this world.
The so-called ignorance in Buddhism refers to not knowing the illusory nature of the conscious mind and clinging to it as real and indestructible self.
Simply put, Buddhism believes that there are four kinds of inner troubles in people: "view, desire, color, and existence".
All these troubles that plague people are ignorance, also called "fire of ignorance".
The reason why people are ignorant and have troubles is because they are stupid, foolish, and have no wisdom. They cannot see through and understand their true self.
That's why I'm troubled by the unknown fire.
In human terms, ignorance is what we often call distracting thoughts. The reason why there are distracting thoughts is because people are too stupid to understand what they really want.
To put it bluntly, the meaning of Buddhism is very simple. It just tells people a very simple truth.
If a person is worried, there is only one reason: this person has no goals, no ultimate goal in life.
If a person has an ultimate goal, he will constantly strive for it throughout his life and feel satisfaction and happiness from it.
Such a person will have no worries and will not be interested in anything other than the ultimate goal.
Therefore, greed is eliminated.
And because the mind is focused on the goal, desires and distracting thoughts are eliminated.
To give a simple example, sometimes we all like to play games very much. When we play games, in order to pass the level and win, we often immerse ourselves in it unconsciously, and then we will not feel thirsty, hungry, want to go to the toilet, or feel itchy for several hours.
And no matter how noisy or noisy it is outside, it has nothing to do with us.
why?
Because we are immersed in the game, we feel truly happy and satisfied in our hearts.
This state is what Buddhism pursues, which is the so-called breaking of ignorance.
Buddhism has been preaching for thousands of years, and there are countless scriptures and books. Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless classics of the mind.
What is so-called seeing through, what is so-called enlightenment, what is so-called awakening, what is so-called seeing the true self.
All methods, all teachings, all purposes.
There is only one, and that is:
I hope everyone can find a game that belongs to him or her and that can immerse him or her in it and bring happiness to him or her for the rest of his or her life.
I hope that everyone can find a career that they are willing to devote their entire lives to.
I hope everyone can find their own unique meaning in life.
That's it.

Lao Wang felt complicated after learning that Wu Man had broken through Wuming.
why?
Why can he, a completely evil demon, have a good ending?
Why could he, a complete demon, break through ignorance?
Why can the wicked put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas instantly, while my elders lie dead on the streets and die tragically?
I can not be reconciled.
Lao Wang yelled.
"Wu Man, even if you have broken through ignorance and become a living Buddha, what does that matter?"
"Just because you have become a Buddha, does that mean you don't have to pay back the debt you owe?"
"Answer me! How are you going to pay back the lives you owe my Wang family?"
When Wu Man heard Lao Wang asking her to repay a life debt, she stood up and spoke.
"I will naturally pay off the debt I owe to the Wang family. But not now."
"When I was Quan Xing, I didn't know my purpose, where I was going, or where I was going. I owed many debts, not just your Wang family."
"I will settle the karma one by one, and your Wang family will have its turn one day."
Old Wang: "Okay! Wu Man, I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you to come to my Wang family to pay back the life you owe me. If you can really do what you said, what if my Wang family builds a temple for you?"
After settling the matter of Wu Man, Wu Gensheng stood up again and walked in front of everyone.
He first stated his purpose to Zhengpai.
"I, Wu Gensheng, have come here today with Quan Xing, not to delay this important national event. On the contrary, not only will I not delay it, I will also lend a helping hand to Da Yan."
"We are all here to participate in the election!"
"I know the quota is limited, but please listen to me and let me explain the pros and cons of this matter."
"First of all, we did not come here to cause trouble this time. Instead, we behaved ourselves. And on this matter, we made an agreement that if anyone dares to cause trouble to Dayan and everyone else in this matter."
"You don't have to do anything, we'll clean it up ourselves."
"Secondly, we are also from the Great Yan people, and we are also qualified to help protect our country and our family."
"Third, the Great Ying Immortal Zuo Ruotong also expressed his wish to compete for a place in the ring. Anyone who is capable, regardless of whether they are good or bad, can participate."
"Could it be that Immortal Daying doesn't keep his word?"
When Zuo Rutong heard that Wu Gensheng was actually using his words to make a point, he opened his mouth to refute.
Zuo Ruotong: "You are a young man who knows how to take advantage of loopholes. I did say this, but the premise is that the person has Da Yan in his heart. If you all really have Da Yan in your heart, it is not impossible. But..."
"Since you really have the Great Flame in your heart, why did you commit evil and stir up trouble in the Great Flame's inner world in the past?"
"How do you explain it?"
Zuo Rutong's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head. The Quan Xing people are in fact a group of lawless and unrestrained lunatics.
How can you guarantee that these lunatics won't make mistakes at the critical moment?
Wu Gensheng pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, and just these words made everyone laugh.
"Naughty, because we were naughty in the past."
naughty?
What reason is this?
No matter how shameless you are, you can't say such things. You are all of the same sex. It is true that you are fooling around, but some of you are almost buried in the ground at such an age.
Can this be brought up on children?
The decent people all looked at Quan Xing with strange eyes, and the group of Quan Xing in front of him blushed.
They naturally felt ashamed, but in order to qualify for the competition, they just accepted the humiliation.
Anyway, they all have no sense of shame.
Zuo Ruotong: "You said that your misbehavior in the past was because you were naughty?"
"Are you kidding me at this moment?"
Wu Gensheng: "Yes, we are naughty. Just like children, it's not that we don't love this family, but sometimes we can't control ourselves and unintentionally do things that hurt the family."
Zuo Ruotong: "Since you have exonerated your disciples' rebellion by saying it was just children playing around, how can you guarantee that your disciples will not revolt again at a critical moment?"
Wu Gensheng: "Master Daying, you don't have to worry about this. We have our own prescription."
"But if we can really guarantee that we are participating sincerely this time and not mixed up with other intentions."
"Would you like us all to be able to compete fairly for a place in the ring like decent people?"
Zuo Rutong thought carefully for a moment and decided to agree.
It's just because this group of Quanxing people is large in number and their strength is indeed sufficient. If we don't respond to them, they will become dissatisfied and make trouble at the critical moment, which will be a headache.
If these bastards are not satisfied, they will definitely do something beastly.
It would be better to promise them that they can participate in the competition selection fairly, so that they will not make trouble even if there are no vacancies.
For the sake of the overall situation, letting them join the war is indeed the best approach right now.
Thinking of this, Zuo Rutong spoke.
"Okay, if you can really come up with a recipe to control your disciples, all of you will have a place in the competition."
Wu Gensheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Okay, it's a deal!
"Mother Wu! Thank you for your help!"
