Chapter 35: Actually, I Really Like Fighting Immortal Cultivators
I know many friends seem to have understood a little, yet also seem to have understood nothing at all.
I will explain it simply and bluntly again.
It means that believing in Buddha will distance you from suffering, and the more you believe that Buddha can bless you and enable you to do this or that, the more you will be able to achieve it.
However, Buddha is actually referring to the traits that already exist within you. It is not something with an image, divine power, or the ability to bless you that exists in your heart.
It’s just that some people are using this method to help you achieve liberation from suffering. But if you want to attain true liberation, you need to truly understand the meaning of the real Buddha, study Buddhist Dharma, and comprehend Buddhist Dharma, rather than just believing in the Buddha you envision in your heart.
Then you will be truly liberated and will no longer have troubles.
Actually, sometimes I think that people are truly very difficult to save, even more so than animals.
Small animals have simple minds; if you guide them, they will do as you say.
But human minds are too complex, especially in this current era.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, with spiritual energy depleted, these two sentences truly speak directly to the human heart.
I have to admire those high monks and great virtuous ones who can dedicate their lives to this endeavor.
Some people don’t even know what consciousness is, let alone the term subconscious.
Some people can’t even distinguish between the conscious spirit and the primordial spirit, so you can’t explain it to them.
But if you tell her,
Your background is quite significant.
You’ve come out, you’re incredibly awesome.
After setting up the altar, you don’t need to learn, you’ll pick it up instinctively.
After setting up the altar, everything will be perfect, and everything will go smoothly.
After setting up the altar, you can perceive things, and then perceiving things will allow you to make money.
You have enlightened yourself; you don’t need to find a teacher; you can enlighten yourself after setting up the altar.
There aren’t enough people, go to the mountains and visit temples more to connect.
Hahaha,
This is how talented individuals are manipulated, easily believing and then living according to this pattern.
Nowadays, I occasionally still casually say a few words to awaken people, like “awakened and not deluded, righteous and not evil, pure and untainted,” and then explain the meaning of these three points.
However, I think I am happiest when I am writing books.
Because I don’t need to bother explaining so much, nor do I need to put in thankless effort to offer free guidance to people.
Moreover, I have always known that human nature is inherently evil, yet I always speak with a good heart.
I know this is not good, because with different cognitions, very few people can understand what I am saying.
It’s like a university student explaining a problem to a primary school student; the primary school student doesn’t even know what you’re talking about, so how can they understand?
Worldly people haven’t even understood the most basic things, so how can they know what you’re talking about?
This is this humble monk’s fault, it’s the fault of my self-attachment. I am not a monk nor a Taoist priest, what on earth am I preaching?
Master said that cultivation is about cultivating oneself. I am already worry-free, so why should I care about them?
If they have headaches, if they are sad, if they are deceived, what does it have to do with me? Is it because I have let go of self-attachment? Because I am selfless?
Stop talking nonsense, really. If I were to silently save others like this, that would also be considered attachment.
Even going with the flow counts.
I should care less about the joys and sorrows of others. Or should I be a wicked person? And play the wicked game better than those people.
Or just don’t do it at all. Since I have cultivated non-discrimination, where does good and bad, good and evil come from?
Should I use this same method on them? Should I also start deceiving people with skillful means to make them happy for a while?
Forget it, forget it! I should focus on cultivating myself.
Otherwise, every thought that arises in my mind will be stored, and in the end, I will be the one to pay the price.
When I ascend upon my death, I won’t come back.
This mortal world is good in all aspects, except for this thing called the human heart, which is quite wicked.
At that time, I will casually and secretly make some selfish arrangements, arrange for my family, arrange for those who believe in me, and that will be enough.
I will only save those who believe in me; as for everyone else, let them be whatever they want. Anyway, I can casually control my thoughts and shift circumstances at will. I can ensure that no karma sticks to me. I am such an awesome person, damn it!
I suddenly remembered a sentence that arose from my inner ignorance during junior high school: “The good are bullied, the good horses are ridden. If you don’t want others to bully you, then you bully others.”
That sentence directly changed my personality back then. Should I continue to rely on this curse, perhaps carried over from some past life, to run rampant in the immortal cultivation world?
To fight and compete with all the cultivators in the world?
I imagine they will definitely say things like cultivators don’t strive for dominance or engage in fights.
If I want to find someone who can truly fight me, I’d have to do it in my dreams.
Because these people’s greatest ability is to deceive those who don’t understand anything. Anyone slightly more powerful is hiding and cultivating alone.
They also disdain to associate with these turtle bastards.
Whether it’s a face-to-face fight or a long-distance fight, I’ve never truly encountered a master.
When I watched “The Return of the Condor Heroes” and Yang Guo retrieved the swords of the senior Du Gu Qiu Bai, I thought the words written next to the swords were just for show.
Now I understand the loneliness of being invincible.
“Having roamed the martial world for over thirty years, killed all enemies, defeated all heroes, with no one else in the world capable of defeating me. Helpless, I could only live in seclusion in a deep valley, with wine as my friend. Alas, throughout my life, I could not find a single opponent, truly a lonely and unbearable state.” – Sword Demon Du Gu Qiu Bai
I have that feeling right now.
They all claim to be powerful and their sorcery profound, but most are just common trash, easily defeated.
They can’t even do something as simple as summoning rain.
I can now sit at home and point to any region, and it will rain there.
This is too difficult. I am just a newborn calf, why is there no one who can fight me?
It’s not that I’m competitive, it’s just that the true masters are hidden too deeply. Everyone on the surface is just trash.
They are either salespeople or con artists, what kind of characters are these?
As an immortal cultivator, alas. Sigh…
From ancient times to the present, those who have been able to establish their own sects have experienced many great battles and finally become renowned throughout the world.
I transform thought into sword, creating a unique school.
In the current immortal cultivation world, who can compare to the Sect Master of the Wuji Sword Sect?
The swords are prepared, the edges are sharpened, but there are absolutely no opponents. It’s all just self-promotion.
Master Ma, who founded the Hunyuan Tai Chi school, even participated in several competitions. Although he lost, he was still honored in defeat.
I, a cultivator, have no suitable opponents in the mortal world. They are all cultivators at the Great Accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining, or Core Formation.
Only a few who have shattered their cores to form infant stages are from the sorcery lineage.
I dare not challenge the current Saints, because I am on the same side as the Saints. Firstly, I admire their great virtue from the bottom of my heart, and secondly, I sincerely regard them as seniors and have always followed their teachings.
Must I then depart my primordial spirit to fight in other worlds?
Actually, I really enjoy fighting with cultivators…
