Tenma, Reborn As a Monk in Japan

However, this is not a problem for Shi Yuanzhang, because as a monk, Shi Yuanzhang also has a hand-crafted content inheritance...

Although it is plausible and illegal to combine the nine-character mantra of Taoism spread to Japan in the Tang Dynasty combined with Tantric mudra, the mudra is still relatively authentic. In addition, there is also an introduction to holding seals in the Avalokitesvara classics. Secret is all.

On the contrary, it is intimate...

Judging from the existing data, the so-called heart secret is the visualization technique of Taoism, but the content of the visualization is still uncertain. For those who think about the light, in this regard, it is not as clear as the visualization of Taoism, because in this respect, the content of Taoism is very simple, that is, visualization of the gods!

So Shi Yuanzhang decided after thinking about it for a while, to do both, that is, to visualize the mudra and the Guanyin, and finally to see which one is more effective, and to visualize which one!

As for whether such nonsense training will cause problems for myself...

As for spiritual things, he still has a little bit of self-confidence as a self-proclaimed 'Heavenly Demon'.

"It's decided, let's use the Avalokitesvara Mantra as the fundamental method of practice. It just so happens that I'm also the host of the Avalokitesvara Temple. There is a statue of Avalokitesvara in the temple, so it's easy to visualize..." After some operations like a tiger, Shi Yuanzhang felt in his heart decided.

But besides that, he logged on to Amazon.com, the main online shopping platform used in Japan, and bought some occult books on it, especially guidance books with meditation ideas, and placed an order to help himself. Practice the art of visualization.

Chapter 5 Going Home?

Then Shi Yuanzhang carefully studied the content of the Avalokitesvara Mantra.

After all, the mouth is tight, the focus is on the pronunciation of the secret mantra, and then the body is washed through the vibration of the sound, so as to speed up the metabolism and improve the function of the internal organs.

That is to say, it has the same meaning as the tiger, leopard and leiyin in the words of some novelists.

Naturally, there are also special requirements for the reading method of the secret mantra. The proper Chinese reading method is one method, and the proper Tibetan reading method is another. There are also Japanese and Sanskrit versions. Who knows which version is the oral version? Secret way of true practice?

Anyway, Ishihara feels that ordinary Chinese pronunciation should be useless.If it is useful, how can Tantric Buddhism only spread in the Western Regions?In addition to helping the wrong dragon back then, it was also because the teachings of the esoteric lamas were too evil for the land of the Central Plains. This was definitely not acceptable to the family of the Central Plains Dynasty, so it was blocked from the Yumen Pass. understandable thing.

Then there will be a Japanese version...

After all, even Chinese is not authentic anymore, so how many threads does his Japanese have?

But Shi Yuanzhang doesn’t know Tibetan, Sanskrit...

Fortunately, the Sanskrit pronunciation of the mantra is available on the Internet, and most of the scriptures recited by the monk also have a Sanskrit pronunciation version, so Shi Yuanzhang found the regular version after a little searching, and then formed the Vajrasattva mudra , that is, the Bingzi seal in the Japanese Nine Secrets inheritance, and sketched it in his mind, he calmed down and recited the mantra of the Guanyin Mantra in Sanskrit pronunciation——

"Namo Bodhisattva of Great Mercy, Great Compassion, Great Inspiration for Rescuing Suffering, Great Inspiration. Namo Buddha, Namo Fa, Namo Sangha, Da Zhiduoan, Kaslavarta, Kaslavarta, Kasavata..."

The voice was dull and echoing, constantly resonating in Shi Yuanzhang's lungs, making his chest itchy...

Fortunately, it was not strong, so it did not affect him to continue reciting the mantra.

And this recitation, I recited it until eight o'clock in the morning, when the temple officially opened to welcome pilgrims.

Only then did Shi Yuanzhang let go of his handprints, let out a long breath, and stood up from the futon.

After all, he still has to live and make money, so he can't ignore the management of his family temple just for the sake of cultivation.

It will be about the same when he becomes a billionaire and achieves financial freedom.

Fortunately, his Huangzi Avalokitesvara Temple is not a famous scenic spot. It is a well-known building that has existed for hundreds of years. In the past, there have never been any powerful mages. There are surrounding residents, or foreign tourists who come to Nagoya to visit and pay homage, but the overall number of people is still within a controllable range!

And that is, occasionally pilgrims will come to him to explain the meaning of the signature, most of the local pilgrims have already followed the instructions to find the signature box, and found the corresponding content of the signature. After reading it once, I left the temple with my friends.

Therefore, Shi Yuanzhang does not have a lot of work in the temple. In addition to answering the signatures, he only maintains order, guides pilgrims to worship, teaches tourists how to visit Guanyin correctly, and opens and closes the temple every day. After the temple, the cleaning work on the temple was done.

In this regard, his aunts Fujiwara Yoko and Fujiwara Hanako will come to help, so the workload is not too big.

Otherwise, Shi Yuanzhang really needs to think about whether to recruit two disciples who are willing to shave or become monks to help him clean his temple together.

In addition to these, Shi Yuanzhang's work as a monk is even less, except for the well-known legal business-when someone dies, he used to help chant sutras, save time, or help chant sutras and comfort the dead when they were buried. , Most of the Japanese temples also have cemetery work!

At the same time, this is also the main economic activity that most Japanese temples use to maintain their livelihoods and temple operations.

However, it is a pity that because the main worship of Huangzi Guanyin Temple is the Guanyin of Songzi, it does not have much fit with the funeral business. In addition, Huangzi Guanyin Temple is also a new temple established in modern times, not as good as those old temples in the Buddhist sect association. Those who have the right to speak have no green space to build cemeteries, so there is no work of selling dharma names, recruiting the dead and burying them in Buddhist cemeteries.

On the contrary, it was because of the relationship between Songzi Guanyin that the humanoid sacrifice business was opened.

This is the so-called work of substitute sacrifice!

Because dolls, Japanese-style dolls, are considered to be the easiest thing to recruit and house spirits in Japan, so whenever there are unwanted dolls at home and want to throw them away, but are afraid that the dolls will have spirits to retaliate, they will throw them away. Send them to the corresponding temples or shrines for sacrifices to dispel the resentment of the dolls.

Similarly, because of the relationship between dolls and dolls, the nobles in ancient Japan would use them as substitutes for their own children, put them beside the children to absorb the child's energy, and after enough time, use specific rituals to turn the dolls Oumen are sent to the temple and sent to the gods for worship, in order to pray that their children will be favored by the gods and get rid of the entanglement of diseases or ghosts.

Although this custom has not been handed down to modern times, it does not prevent Shi Yuanzhang's family from opening related doll placement business.

……

In this way, the time of the day passed by in a blink of an eye, and the time came to night again.

After eating the dinner prepared by Aunt Fujiwara, Ishihara went back to the Zen room again, sat cross-legged, formed Vajrasattva mudra with both hands, visualized the appearance of the mudra in his mind, and recited the Avalokiteshvara mantra aloud.

It wasn't until late at night that Ishihara Zhang stopped practicing again, got up and went back to the monk's house at the back of the temple - the Hall of Garan, washed up, and lay back on the tatami.

"I don't know how long it takes to practice to see the effect." Ishihara Zhang lying on the tatami muttered secretly.

After that, I didn't think about it any more, and slowly fell asleep...

But the next moment, he sat up from the bed again!

"This is... my house?" Shi Yuanzhang looked at the room of less than 20 square meters in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised and said: "I have traveled back again?"

Saying this, Ishihara Zhang got up from the bed, walked to the computer on the side, connected the power, and turned on the computer.Then sat down in front of the computer, picked up the mobile phone that was put aside, and looked at the time on it-Thursday, November 2021, 11, 4:01. "Could it be possible that I have really traveled back again?" Shi Yuanzhang put down his phone, looked at the computer that had entered the desktop in front of him, manipulated the mouse and clicked on the browser, logged in to the website where he published the book, entered the background, and checked Read the comments of book friends...

"There's not even a comment?" Shi Yuanzhang couldn't help but wondered, looking at the empty interface in the background.

Although he is on the street, because of his strong updates, he has accumulated a lot of loyal book friends from the relationship of constant updates, so whenever he updates himself, even if no one comments, there are still some book friends who signed in.

Not to mention, this time I still cut off the update without asking for leave. There is no reason for book friends not to send a comment to greet me.

But now?There is no comment at all, either because of the background problem, or because of other reasons. Anyway, Shi Yuanzhang doesn't believe that book friends will be so calm.

So he shrunk the page, clicked on the penguin icon on the desktop, and logged into his book friend group...

After signing the contract, everyone can rest assured to collect and invest.

Chapter 6 Lucid Dreaming

However, the result of logging in was that there was no news from the book friend group!

Not only the book friend group, but also the driving group, as well as those groups that don’t count as logged in if they don’t send two or three thousand chat messages a day. There is no new news at all, as if his login this time is fake It's the same as the same, but it has this interface, but it can't link to the real network.

Shi Yuanzhang was a little unbelieving, so he entered the browser again and logged in to a website such as Xiaopozhan, but the displayed screen was blank...

Seeing this, Shi Yuanzhang had to pick up his mobile phone and try it again, but the result was the same. Although he could log on to Douyin, P Station and other APP software, just like the situation on the webpage, no information emerged , just like the background of Douyin and P Station has been shut down, and even the server has gone on strike.

But Ishihara Zhang understood that this kind of thing is impossible!

Especially in one day, from an influential network service provider platform all over the world to a blank page, it is estimated that it is impossible to happen except for the headquarters being bombed.

But it happened now, so if it's not the problem of the network itself and the terminal in his hand, then there is something wrong with him!

In this way, combined with what I did before I came back——

"Is it a dream...or a lucid dream." Ishihara Zhang muttered thoughtfully.

"It seems that besides being able to see the colored light clusters on people, my ability as a 'Heavenly Demon' is similar to the ability to enter dreams like this right now? I just don't know if my ability to enter dreams can work on others. "

But it's a pity that there are no outsiders in the temple now, even if he wants to try, he has no choice but to wait until tomorrow to find an opportunity...

"But if this is a dream..."

Thinking of this, the space in front of Ishihara Zhang suddenly changed, from the original room and bedroom to the meditation room and tatami that he was familiar with as Shi Yuanzhang.

The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva stood in front of him, with a majestic appearance and lowered eyes, exuding an unspeakable sense of majesty and sacredness, which made Shi Yuanzhang feel a sense of shock from the bottom of his heart.

"Sure enough, the environment here can be changed through fantasies, it's just..."

It's just that the sense of sacredness of Avalokitesvara in front of him is too strong, far beyond his imagination at the beginning. If it is directly used to visualize, Shi Yuanzhang is really afraid that he will visualize himself as Avalokitesvara, then But the loss outweighs the gain.

So if you want to practice with the ability of lucid dreaming, it is better to continue to visualize mudras.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would live for Avalokitesvara and let Avalokitesvara destroy him.

"But since it's a lucid dream, then I should be able to decide how to wake up myself."

While muttering, there was nothing under Shi Yuanzhang's feet, and accompanied by the unique feeling of weightlessness at the moment when the elevator fell and started, Ishi Yuanzhang in the real world opened his eyes.

"Sure enough." Shi Yuanzhang said with emotion.

Afterwards, Shi Yuanzhang tried the speed of falling into a dream by himself, and it was only a matter of thinking, and he entered the state of lucid dreaming in an instant, which made him more and more sure that this ability to fall into dreams at will is his golden finger!

After that, Ishihara Zhang tested some things through the state of lucid dreaming—for example, bringing the things in the dream into reality—and failed.

Attempts to bring the dream state into reality—such as pulling off my hand with a knife, creating a wound, and seeing if I have the same wound on my hand when I wake up—failed.

I don't know whether my method is wrong or my cultivation is not enough.

After all, although this kind of thing has been falsified on the Internet and in the field of psychology, rumors that similar water drop experiments or temperature experiments are directly fed back to the human body have not disappeared, so Ishihara Zhang cannot be ruled out. , It is really impossible to feed back the state in the dream to reality with the way of lucid dreaming!

If this can be successful, then there will be more things that I can do.

After that, there is dream learning...success.

But it’s also a matter of course. After all, the self in a lucid dream is awake, and the consciousness is interlinked. It means that the learning process that was originally in reality is just put in the dream. Naturally, it can also be the same as in reality. To learn knowledge.

And the effect is even more powerful!It is easier to concentrate, not to be disturbed by external objects, and not to think wildly, so the learning efficiency has become much higher than in reality.But this is also the meaning of the question. After all, it is a lucid dream, which is the result of concentrating the scattered mind. Even if there is divergent thinking, the messy thoughts will be absorbed and used by the surrounding space. The liberation of part of the subconscious mind can naturally allow Shi Yuanzhang, who is in a dream, to acquire a stronger learning ability than in reality, and then fundamentally improve his own learning effect.

Then Shi Yuanzhang finished the test, and after pondering for a while, practiced the Avalokitesvara spell in the dream...

……

After a peaceful night, the time came to the next day in a blink of an eye.

Life goes on as usual.

During the day, Fujiwara Hanako came to make breakfast for Ishihara Zhang, and Ishihara Zhang enjoyed it, then cleaned the temple, and officially opened it to the public around eight o'clock, followed by receiving pilgrims and tourists, and at noon, he casually dealt with Aunt Fujiwara Dianko at the Zhaitang After making lunch, I continued to operate the temple until it closed at five o'clock in the evening.

But it's just that people don't have to watch in the temple, the temple gate will still be open, and it will not be officially closed until after [-] o'clock in the evening, and no one else is allowed to enter.

So after the temple was closed, Ishihara Zhang took off his monk clothes and changed into the daily attire of ordinary young people. He took out the cash used by the family to deal with some daily affairs, put on his hat, and took a taxi to Nagoya's famous night-night shop. Street moves away.

Night Street, the so-called gathering place for special service personnel, is a place similar to Kabukicho in Tokyo, filled with a large number of special industry personnel and shops.

Of course, there are also places that provide supporting services, such as restaurants, hotels, convenience stores and shopping malls, so when you enter here, you can see not only what you expected, but also many other things normal business practices.

It's just that Shi Yuanzhang's purpose today is not these!

Instead, he was going to break the taboo, enter a certain store, and bring out a certain female 'friend' so that he could experiment on his dream ability.
