For a moment, Xiang Que felt that he should be floating.
Entering the first small world of Mount Sumeru, the Cyclops recognized him as the master, and soon found the key, and came to the next small world with only one Dao Duo Tian Pill, but unexpectedly, When I met a monk from the west, I called myself Buddha.
What is rhythm?
Take it with you at the beginning!
However, Xiang Que's behavior was quite normal. He clasped his hands together in a very respectful manner, returned a salute to the other party and asked, "Master, where did you start?"
The old venerable looked at him with deep admiration and reverence in his eyes, and said: "The sayings about Mahayana Buddhism that you left behind really gave me and other beings who are obsessed with Theravada Buddhism a chance to find their way back. It is the conclusion that all living beings can become Buddhas, and it makes us realize that practicing Mahayana Buddhism should be the direction we should strive for in our whole life!"
"So, since then, believers of Mahayana Buddhism have been running around preaching, using the theory that all living beings are equal and all living beings can become Buddhas, to promote the essence of Mahayana Buddhism, and it didn't take long to get a lot of resonance"
Xiang Que said "ah", and asked with a worried face: "Then in the Western Paradise, the Tathagata Buddha didn't restrain you? After all, there is a big difference between the two definitions of Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism."
The old venerable shook his head and said, "Why do we need to restrict? The Hinayana is for the self, and the Mahayana is for the people. I don't think there is any conflict. Andif the Tathagata targets us, it means that the Mahayana Dharma made them aware of the crisis. "
At that time, when Xiang Que left Xitian, he also believed that the Tathagata would not kill and suppress the Mahayana Buddhism. You can object, but you can't strangle it, because the more you do this, the more it shows that the Mahayana Buddhism has its meaning , will shake the foundation of their Theravada Buddhism.
Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed to kill, except when Mahayana Buddhism was still in its infancy and had not been propagated.
But as long as it spreads, you can't do anything, after all, it will fall into the mouth.
"We went to the three thousand small worlds of Mount Sumeru this time to preach. There are a total of 316 disciples of Mahayana Buddhism. At this time, we have penetrated into each small world"
Xiang Que swallowed his saliva immediately. It can be said that there are quite a few people here, almost one-tenth of them, but he also doesn't understand that you went to a space isolated from the fairy world like Mount Sumeru to spread the word. What is the point of attaining the Dharma?
Seemingly seeing Xiang Que's puzzlement, the old venerable explained: "The Buddha may not know that Mount Sumeru is a holy place for Buddhism. Many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have practiced here. We can get better results here. Moreover, it is said that after cultivating these three thousand small worlds, there will be unexpected opportunities"
Xiang Que rolled his eyes and asked, "Then you still know a lot about it?"
The old venerable said in a low voice: "Actually, it is also the first time I entered Mount Sumeru, but I know that Mahayana Buddhism will not be rejected here, and I will accept it easily."
"Huh? Why is that?"
The old venerable said: "Because in those years, the Tathagata Buddha came back from Mount Sumeru and led a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to the west to open up a pure land!"
Xiang Que was stunned for a moment. If the other party's statement was replaced by someone else, it would be absolutely unbelievable, but he felt that the credibility was more than 80%.
Because Xiang Que has been to Xitian, and he also saw another Daleiyin Temple at Donghua Xianmen, and he also knew that Puxian Bodhisattva and others had different intentions from Tathagata, and even had two paths at all, otherwise he would be imprisoned When he was in purgatory, those three would not try their best to rescue him.
At least, besides the Tathagata, there are several great Buddhas in Xitian who have not shown their faces, even the people in Xitian and Lingshan don't know, such as Medicine Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and Lantern Buddha.
Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva secretly have their own Xiaojiujiu, which is even more illustrative.
Xiang Que was always guessing what was going on with Tathagata's second child. Even Emperor Dongyue thought that the current Tathagata might have been rebuilt by the previous Tathagata, or it might be a clone. The former Tathagata had long since fallen.
Looking at it now, let¡¯s not say whether he was recultivated for the time being, but I didn¡¯t expect that he came from Mount Sumeru, and not only him, but also the Sunlight Moonlight Bodhisattva, Wenyuan Bodhisattva and several Buddhas followed him. went out together.
This news must be a shocking big secret in the ancient fairy world.
A secret that even Dongyue and Xiwangmu don't know.
??Are you sure, how do you know? "Xiang Que couldn't help but asked back.
The old venerable said: "After I came to this small world, I discussed Zen with a Bodhisattva here. At that time, I explained the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to him"
"At that time, he felt that the teachings of Mahayana were too shocking for heaven and man, and it should be the path that my Buddha pursued, so he joined us and told me some secrets of Mount Sumeru!"
"Damn it!" Xiang Que couldn't do it anymore.
The character of this old venerable belongs to the kind of single-minded, one-way to the dark. When he believed that Mahayana Buddhism is the truth he wanted to pursue all his life, he took it as his mission to preach, no matter where he was, he always He put the word Mahayana on his lips.
Moreover, he came to Mount Sumeru for the purpose of promoting Mahayana Buddhism, so when he found out that the monks in this small world are very respected, he immediately started his own act of spreading Buddhism without hesitation.
More importantly, people in this small world do not have a precise definition of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. They only pursue practice, and it doesn't matter whether it is to save others or save themselves.
The idea of ??crossing oneself in Hinayana Buddhism was declared by Tathagata in Xitian, and it was the definition given to highlight that he is the highest Buddha in the world.
In this way, once the old venerable preached the Mahayana Buddhism, many people in this small world agreed with him, and his status suddenly rose. He came to this city from another city this time. To continue to spread the Dharma.
Xiang Que felt that this old venerable was definitely a talent, and he was too capable of bewitching people. He was born in the fairy world. If this was in the real world of his previous life, this person is definitely a good material for passing on. The fool does not know how many times stronger.
What's more, this old venerable looks very serious and has a kind face. You would never think that he can have evil intentions.
So the words that come out of his mouth will make you be led away involuntarily.
After Xiang Que understood it, he knew that his team could grow again, not to mention other places, at least in this small world.
However, Xiang Que did not fully trust the other party, and the old venerable's credibility had to be explored and confirmed again. He could completely let go of his guard until there were no problems.
After all, in the fairy world, there are quite a lot of pits
