No matter how powerful the Golden Saint is or even a god, no matter how powerful he is, whether he has experienced the light speed fist, the galactic star explosion, beheading, roasting on the fire, soaking in sulfuric acid bath... As long as he has a handful of ashes left, he will A phoenix can fly out of the ashes with a "croak" and be reborn into the world with greater strength. This super ability to withstand fighting, abrasion, corrosion, and abuse is only better than that of Seiya, the boss known as the "Nine Lives Little Strong"; every rebirth will not be a replica of the original. But it will bring more powerful power and make the three-guarantee system of shopping mall electrical appliances known as "guaranteed replacement, guaranteed return, and guaranteed repair" to be ashamed, because no matter how it is guaranteed, it will not replace it with something better than the original one. More expensive. However, the phoenix can do it, and it will only become more powerful every time it is reborn
According to legend, the phoenix is ??the messenger of happiness in the world. Every five hundred years, it has to bear all the unhappiness and pain accumulated in the world. Hate grudges, throw yourself into the raging fire and burn yourself, exchanging life and beauty for peace and happiness in the world. Similarly, only after the physical body has experienced tremendous pain and reincarnation can they be reborn in a better body.
This story and its metaphorical meaning are called "Nirvana" in Buddhist scriptures.
The record in "The Anonymous Theory of Nirvana" is as follows: "Anonymous said: Master, human beings are empty and imageless, and all things are nothing but my creation. Those who understand all things to become oneself are the only saints! Why? If there is no reason, there is no sage. If there is no reason, then there is no difference between the sage and the principle. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven said: Where should we seek Prajna? : To see dependent origin is to see the Dharma, and to see the Dharma is to see the Buddha. This is why things and I are the same. Therefore, the perfect person can hide mysteries in the absence of signs, hide the hidden destiny in the instant, and integrate the six elements with the mirror mind. Once it comes and goes, it becomes the body. The ancient and the present are always connected, and there is no limit to the end. The great unity is called Nirvana. The Sutra says: All dharmas are boundless, so Bodhi is boundless. The path to Nirvana lies in the wonderful agreement. The wonderful agreement is based on the unity of the universe. However, things are not different from me, and I am not different from things. Things and I are mystical, and they return to the infinite. If you advance, you will not be the first, and if you retreat, you will not be behind. The end of life begins in this period! The goddess said: How long does it take to be liberated in old age?
Translated into our current language: The unknown person said that people who have reached a certain state will have the experience of emptiness and spiritual ignorance. When you experience the state of emptiness, you will no longer care about all the things in the world. All things flow out of your heart, and you insist that all things are one with me. Only a saint can do this! Why do you say this? Because you cannot become a saint without mastering this truth. On the contrary, you cannot know this truth even if you are not a saint. It is precisely because you have mastered this truth that you can become a saint. Therefore, saints and truth are inseparable, and no saint can leave this truth! This is just like the non-dual principle of form and mind mentioned in Prajna Contemplation, phase is separation, emptiness is color, and form is emptiness. From the perspective of dependent origination, all dharmas are empty, and emptiness is all dharmas. When you see the Buddha, you see the dharma. Therefore, saints who have access to the realm of space always explore mysteries from omens, conceal the future from changes, and unite the east, west, north, and south together, and the past and future become one. It has been the same throughout the ages, poverty leads to the end, there is no difference. To unite all the vast things with one's mind is Nirvana. This is what the Buddhist scriptures say about "achieving nirvana without leaving all dharmas." And because all dharmas are boundless, the pursuit of liberation is also endless. From this, it can be inferred that the way to nirvana lies in maintaining the "wonderful agreement" of understanding the wonderful principles. With the "wonderful agreement", one can know the truth that all dharmas are one and the same. There is no essential difference between all things and me. I am essentially the same as all things. Things and I have a mysterious connection, and Wuji is their final destination. Nirvana means advancing without moving forward, retreating without retreating, having no beginning and no end, and the beginning and the end are not in between! The goddess said: The liberation of the elderly (Shariputra - the author's note) has no end or beginning.
