At this time, the seven-colored shield on Long Jingtian's body was brighter and dazzling than ever before. Among the thousands of auspicious lights, seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple flashed out in a halo. Moving, it naturally emits an inviolable divine power. Long Jingtian was quite surprised. He didn't understand why the shield became so shining. He followed the path and soon came to the temple gate. Two giant Vajra, about two feet tall, were guarding the door. The difference between the gatekeeper Vajra of the Linglong Pagoda is that although the Vajra here is tall and mighty, with his eyes emitting light that can quake demons and subjugate demons, under the transformation of the Buddha's light, his majestic face actually has a hint of peace. At this time, the powerful and kind voice came clearly again: "Shariputra, if there are people who have made the vow, now make the vow, and should make the vow to be born in the land of Amitabha Buddha, all of them will never turn back to Anuttarana. Miaosambodhi, if you have been born in that land, if you are born now, if you are to be born in the future. Therefore, Shariputra, all good men and women, if you have faith, should make a vow to be born in that land. Shariputra, you who are like me now, praise you The Buddhas have inconceivable merits and virtues. They also praised my inconceivable merits and virtues and said: Shakyamuni Buddha can do things that are very difficult to understand. He can live in the land of Saha, the evil world of five turbidities, the turbidity of kalpas, and the turbidity of vision. In the turbidity of afflictions, the turbidity of sentient beings, and the turbidity of life, one can attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi. For the sake of all living beings, he preaches this Dharma that is difficult to believe in the world. Shariputra, you should know that I performed this difficult thing in the evil world of five turbidities, and achieved Anuttara Samyaksambodhi. Dora Samyak Sam Bodhi, it is very difficult to teach this unbelievable Dharma to all the world.¡¡±
The person who preached the sutra was none other than Sakyamuni, the Lord of the Buddha Realm. After he finished preaching this unbelievable sutra, which praised the incredible merits of Amitabha and his Buddhist kingdom, and could be protected and remembered by all the Buddhas in the immeasurable Buddhist kingdoms of the ten directions, he took the opportunity to speak to the audience at the temple. Shariputra, as well as all the great Bodhisattvas, all the great monks and Arhats, as well as the countless gods, dragons, eight tribes, asuras, humans and non-human beings who came together to listen to the sutra, in order to be able to hear this supremely subtle, rare, and inconceivable The merits of the Mahayana sutra filled my heart with incomparable happiness and joy, resulting in a profound sense of faith, and I respectfully accepted the meaning of this sutra. Outside the temple gate, Long Jingtian and the guardian Vajra smiled at the same time, understanding and upholding the sutra as if they had heard it. Suddenly, a rain of flowers fell from the sky out of thin air in the Nuo Da Buddha Realm. The raindrops like petals shone with colorful light. These delicate and pure flowers transformed from the pure Buddha nature were extremely gorgeous and incomparable in the Buddha Realm. There is a microsecond aroma. Seeing such a wonderful scene, all the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Buddhas, and bhikkhunis who were listening to the Sutra shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!" Long Jingtian saluted the guard Vajra and said: "Practice Long Jingtian, you want to see me. Buddha Tathagata, still begging for report!" The Vajra on the left made a promise and went in to report. The Vajra on the right was still standing in the distance, holding the precious pestle in his hand, and his majesty could not be violated. Not long after, the Vajra came out and said in a rough voice: "Please come in!" After saying that, the two Vajras moved out of the way. Long Jingtian was slightly startled when he heard the words, thinking: "Why is this Vajra speaking so weird? It's just like the secular world." Just like a patient suffering from asthma!" Walking into the temple, there is a passage about three feet wide and five miles long. There are many strange monks and nuns standing or sitting on both sides, except for a few who look like those in the practice world. Similarly, most of them have ugly faces, and some are even ferocious. Seeing this, Long Jingtian couldn't help but smile inwardly: "It seems that I still can't get rid of all appearances! Judging people by their appearance is childish in this Buddhist world!" Long Jingtian walked a few steps and suddenly saw some nuns on the right. Among the crowd, there was an old nun who looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. I couldn't help but be surprised: "Is there anyone I know in this Buddhist world? That's really a strange news!" He thought hard and was lost in thought, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Seeing this, the old nun smiled slightly and said, "Donor Long, you are well!" As soon as she said this, Long Jingtian immediately remembered that she was Lin Ziyan's master, Dingyun Shenni. He heard that she had ascended to heaven some time ago, and he didn't want to We met here and thought: "She is a disciple of Buddhism. After her ascension, she will naturally come to this Buddhist world. I don't know which passage she came here from." Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing. The Buddhist world naturally has a guide. Disciple Dharma, otherwise wouldn¡¯t the Buddhist lineage be declining day by day? Then he walked to the side of Dingyun Shenni and saluted: "Junior, pay homage to Senior Dingyun!" Dingyun Shenni nodded slightly, looked at the Buddha in the distance, and winked at him. Long Jingtian understood and said in his heart: "Now the Buddha is waiting for me to see him, but it would be too disrespectful for me to strike up a conversation with him in the middle of the road. Fortunately, he is compassionate and does not have the same understanding as me, a younger generation."
Saying goodbye to Dingyun Shenni, we went straight forward. After walking for a while, we found that there were fewer Buddhist nuns standing in front of us, and most of them were sitting down. Long Jingtian thought: "It seems that the Buddhist world is like a dynasty in the secular world. I, Tathagata, sit high in the middle, like an emperor. The Buddhas on both sides are like ministers in the court. Those who are closer to the emperor are important ministers, such as Master Dingyun. Even the ministers in the court should stay far away. Well, I don¡¯t know if my idea is right or not. It is said in Buddhism that all living beings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, rich and poor. It seems that my idea is wrong." Focus on it. Looking at it, I saw the Buddha sitting in the distance on the ninth floor.On the platform, his eyes were closed tightly, doing something with one hand, and his left hand was supporting his right elbow. Next to the Buddha stands a graceful woman, holding a jade vase in her hand, with a wicker inserted in the vase. Looking at her appearance, she is extremely beautiful, and her wonderful eyes are even more captivating and dreamlike. Long Jingtian was shocked in his heart: "She is the highly respected Guanyin Bodhisattva in the secular world, and she actually has such a peerless appearance!" He didn't look away and tried to calm down, but at the first sight, he was already astonished by Guanyin's beauty. Her beauty was imprinted in her heart. Although she walked straight in front of the Buddha and never looked at her again, she still felt Guanyin's eyes fixed on him and even smiled at him. Thinking like this, I couldn't bear it any longer. I turned around and saw Guanshiyin's beautiful face with a smile, full of infinite temptation, and a strange fragrance blowing towards my face. Long Jingtian felt His mind was buzzing, and he slowly moved towards Guanshiyin like a man possessed, stretching out his palms, wanting to touch her face, chest and other places. Deep in Long Jingtian's heart, he still had some sense. He knew that his inner demon was born and he couldn't restrain himself. He couldn't help but sweat like rain all over his body, and the colorful shield had dissipated unknowingly. At this time, Tathagata Buddha opened his eyes, and two rays of pure bright light shone through Long Jingtian's whole body, and said slowly: "Empty is form, and form is emptiness. Since my heart is nothing, how can it come from outside?" These four lines of Buddha said. It's slow and deep, and when heard in the ears, it's like morning bells and evening drums, a wake-up call. In an instant, the time spiritual platform becomes empty, the inner demons are gone, and the colorful shields are reassembled. Long Jingtian looked at Avalokitesvara again and saw her majestic appearance, with a look of compassion on her face. How could there be any hint of infinite temptation? It seems that everything is caused by inner demons. Thinking of this, I feel very ashamed in my heart. I am even more admired by Buddha Tathagata. There is such a beautiful woman standing in front of me, but she seems to turn a blind eye. At that moment, he kowtowed respectfully and said: "Practitioner Long Jingtian, pay homage to the Buddha!"
The Tathagata smiled slightly and said: "Guardian, please rise! It won't be long before I call you the patron saint, haha!" Long Jingtian stood aside after thanking him, and after hearing the words, he thought in his heart: "Since the Buddha said this, I must have a clear understanding of everything in my heart and understand everything clearly. I am here to ask for a loan from the Buddha Realm. It is clear to my heart that I don¡¯t need to ask for help, and he will naturally mention it." The Tathagata turned to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. He said: "There is no Dharma in everything, don't have delusional thoughts, you can leave!" All the Buddhas in the big temple shouted the Buddha's name in unison: "Amitabha!" and then left one after another. After a while, only the Tathagata was left in the temple. Avalokitesvara and Long Jingtian. Long Jingtian thought: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva seems to have a very high status. Is it possible that she is also here to discuss the Buddha Realm Order?" Just when he thought of this, he saw Avalokitesvara put his hands together and said goodbye: "The supreme and profound Dharma. , encounter hundreds of thousands of calamities. Now that I have accepted and upheld what I have seen and heard, I have understood the true meaning of the Tathagata." The Tathagata smiled and said: "How come you can live a long life, and the vajra body is indestructible. What causes and conditions can you gain great strength? Why do you have this sutra? , and finally reach the other shore. May you reveal the subtle secrets and teach them to all living beings." Avalokitesvara said, "I got the message!" Then he floated away. Watching Avalokitesvara disappear, Long Jingtian turned to look at Tathagata Buddha, and saw that his eyes were filled with the divine light of knowing everything about the universe. He couldn't help but asked blankly: "Sakyamuni Buddha, why did you take the name of Tathagata?" Why not call it "Nothing to Go?" Buddha smiled and said: "Nothing comes from, and nowhere to go, so it is called Tathagata." Long Jingtian thought: "Nothing comes and no going, in other words, neither birth nor death, immovable Neither quiet, of course neither happy nor worried, neither tall nor short, they are all equal and exist forever. This principle is the Tathagata." Thinking of this, I can't help but respect the Buddha: "No wonder Buddhist disciples often say, in my Buddha In the eyes, eternity is just a moment, but that moment is eternity. For the immortal Buddha, time is meaningless." Long Jingtian bowed and said: "This junior is here, it is really I want to borrow the order from the Buddha Realm for use, and I hope the Buddha will allow it!" The Tathagata smiled and said: "The order from the Buddha Realm is already with you, don't you know it yet?" Long Jingtian was stunned, and then said doubtfully: "It's with me. On the body? How is this possible? Since coming to the Buddhist world, no one has given anything to the younger generation!" Tathagata said: "Open your palm and take a look!" Long Jingtian slowly opened his right hand I didn't feel anything in my palm, but after I opened my palm, an auspicious light flashed, and a boundary tablet about three inches long and one inch wide appeared in my hand. I couldn't help but be filled with surprise, knowing that this Buddhist boundary order must be The Buddha secretly imposed it, and when he carefully looked at the boundary plate, he saw a Buddha statue painted on the front, and a seal character engraved on the back, which was vaguely the Buddha's word "Buddha". Long Jingtian said happily: "Amitabha! The Buddha is compassionate and the younger generation admires him! Now I have the tokens of the four realms of immortality, demon, underworld and Buddha. In addition to the tokens of the demon realm, the cultivation token and the secular token, I have seven tokens. Then. Let¡¯s find my master again to find out the whereabouts of the God Realm Order and the Unknown Order. Once the nine orders are gathered together, we can save the practice world from a thousand-year catastrophe!¡±
