Chapter 105: Incarnation, Enlightenment, Enlightenment
"I created the Buddhist system just to give Western sentient beings a chance. Now, all Western sentient beings have undergone qualitative changes along with the Buddhist system, and the West has evolved for the better. But you are stuck in a bottleneck because of the shortcomings of the Buddhist system. For this reason, I, the founder of the Buddhist system and the current leader of Buddhism, naturally cannot watch you sink into the bottleneck. Therefore, I created the Three Realms of the Westward Journey, which is comparable to the Three Methods of the Dao of Slashing."

"What are the three realms of the westward journey? The westward journey represents the West, represents all things in the West, represents the souls of all beings in the West, and also represents three realms of cultivation. As for what these three realms are, we need to look at the three lotus pedestals that I used to suppress the Buddhist destiny."

"Three realms of the journey to the west. The first realm. Enlightenment of tranquility! What is tranquility? 'Tranquility' means peace of mind. We cultivators were born in the prehistoric times. What we see, hear, do and do are all in accordance with our hearts. Therefore, our hearts are always beating, and we do all kinds of things according to the beating of our hearts. Among these things, there may be good and bad. But because of these, we have mixed thoughts in our hearts, which affects our own cultivation."

“Therefore, the core of this ‘enlightenment and tranquility’ is to make our hearts quiet. It makes the Buddhist world that we, the monks who practice the Buddhist system, open up in our hearts become perfect, orderly, and quiet. Such tranquility is also in line with the treasure of Buddhist destiny, the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus.”

"Although the Pure World White Lotus contains the great path of purification, it is forged to purify filth and distracting thoughts. But the core is the concept of purifying the world, purifying our inner Buddhist world and making us fall into a level of pure world. This represents the achievement of 'enlightenment and tranquility'."

"The second of the three realms of the journey to the west is Wu Neng! The 'Neng' in Wu Neng does not represent your ability, but rather a kind of precepts and merits. For Buddhist monks like us, many things will happen from the moment we set foot on the path of practice. Among the many things, what can be done? What can't be done? I guess you don't know."

"But from now on, you will know. You can do things that bring merit, but you cannot do things that do not bring merit. You cannot do things that violate the precepts, but you can do them when they comply with the precepts. This 'ability' will keep us from being contaminated by cause and effect, and will allow us to have great merit. This is the benchmark for the Qiyun Lingbao, the Twelve-Level Merit Golden Lotus."

The state of "such enlightenment" enables us to do meritorious deeds, cultivate a meritorious heart, and also cultivate a heart that disciplines the self.

Only in this way can one find one's own path to becoming a Buddha amidst the endless enlightenment of the Great Dao and the ever-changing world. "

"The Three Realms of the Journey to the West. The Third Realm. Wukong! The "emptiness" in Wukong means extinction, and it means that everything becomes empty.

The purpose of practicing for a lifetime is to achieve the Great Dao. Whether it is practicing the Buddhist system or the first two realms of the three realms of the journey to the west, the core is still to pursue the Great Dao and to achieve Hun Yuan. However, if you pursue too much, you will not be able to achieve it. "

"Such an obsession to pursue the Great Dao is like an agitated monkey. Such a monkey in our hearts will affect our enlightenment over time. Therefore, we need to empty our obsession, extinguish our obsession, and make ourselves free of desires and demands, in order to subdue our inner monkey. In this state, we can pursue the Great Dao Hunyuan."

"Therefore, this state corresponds to the third treasure of Buddhist destiny, the Black Lotus of Nirvana. From Nirvana, we can subdue our inner monkeys and make our self-obsession disappear. From Nirvana, we can pursue the true path and then achieve Hunyuan."

"The three realms of the journey to the west are the wonderful method in the Buddhist system that allows us to break through the bottleneck and pursue the great Dao Hunyuan."

All the Buddhist and Taoist monks fell into silence. They listened to what Di Qing said about the journey to the west, and also felt the mystery of the three realms of the journey to the west.

With their wisdom and cognition, it is naturally difficult for them to comprehend this method in a short period of time. In this regard, Di Qing was very calm, thinking about the three realms of the westward journey he created, and a touch of emotion rose in his heart.

Speaking of which, the three realms of the west created by Di Qing were also inspired by the later Journey to the West, and included Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha.

What is the Journey to the West? Is it a catastrophe? Is it a Buddhist conspiracy? We have never known these. But what is certain is that the Journey to the West is a journey of experience, a path to becoming a Buddha.

Therefore, Emperor Qing comprehended the various aspects of the Journey to the West, and eventually transformed the journey to the West into a path to becoming a saint and a path to becoming a Taoist. The various disasters encountered on the journey to the West eventually turned into three realms.

The monks who practiced the Buddhist and Taoist systems took a journey to the west with their own hearts. On this road, they overcame various disasters and finally cultivated the three realms of the west journey, and finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved Hunyuan.

As Jie Yin pondered, he shouted the Buddha's name: "Buddha Emperor Qing, I have some understanding of the three realms you mentioned. After cultivating these three realms, our Tao hearts will be transformed and our cultivation will surely increase greatly. However, to become a Buddhist saint and become a great Dao Hunyuan, it requires not only realms, but also more accumulation and foundation. I don't know..."

“Haha… The Three Ways of Slashing Dao can create three incarnations, which will become the foundation for my breakthrough. In the three realms of the westward journey, naturally, as I cultivate into three realms, I will evolve three incarnations.”

"When one achieves 'enlightenment and tranquility', the distracting thoughts in one's mind will be melted and transformed into an incarnation. This incarnation is created for the purpose of understanding tranquility.

Evolution, so this incarnation can also be called the incarnation of enlightenment and tranquility. "

"When you achieve 'Enlightenment', the many precepts in your heart will also be transformed into an incarnation. This incarnation will refine the precepts and can be named Enlightenment, or it can be evolved according to the precepts in your heart. For example, if you evolve eight precepts in your heart, it is called Eight Precepts. If you evolve nine precepts, it is called Nine Precepts."

"When one becomes 'Wukong', all the obsessions in one's heart will be completely transformed into nothingness. These obsessions will also be transformed into an incarnation of Wukong. In particular, the obsessions are restless, which is the strongest part of a cultivator's heart. Therefore, the incarnation of Wukong that evolves must also be extremely strong."

"The three incarnations of Wujing, Wuneng, and Wukong have become your support for accumulating your foundation. As you practice, they will gradually grow stronger and become the foundation for future breakthroughs."

Whether it is the Three Dao Slashing Methods or the Three Corpses Slashing Methods, they are all based on the Hun Yuan Method that Luo Lian brought out back then. Therefore, the Three Realms of the Westward Journey naturally also involves the Incarnation Method.

These three incarnations also correspond to Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk in our memories.

It has to be said that Emperor Qing has played with the concept of Journey to the West. It is estimated that later generations would find it difficult to imagine that Emperor Qing could create such a secret method of enlightenment based on Journey to the West.

Jie Yin and Zhunti listened, their expressions gradually changing, their hearts stirring as well. It seemed as if they had a vague understanding, or even been touched.

Di Qing also saw the changes in Jie Yin and Zhunti. With a point of his finger, he instantly transmitted to Jie Yin and Zhunti all the cultivation methods for the three realms of the westward journey and his many insights.

Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and thanked respectfully: "Thank you, Buddha, for teaching us the Dharma."
