Lingshan is still peaceful and peaceful, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, and the surrounding residents have peaceful faces, peaceful hearts and minds, bathing in the Buddha's light and reciting the Buddha's name with devotion.
Daleiyin Temple is resplendent with golden light, and the light of Buddha fills the sky. In the main hall, the important Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of Buddhism are all present, except that the Great Sun Tathagata and Subhuti Bodhisattva are missing. But now they are sitting on the tall lotus throne in the middle of the main hall. It is Sakyamuni Buddha, the newly promoted Buddha, the Tathagata Sakyamuni Buddha at this moment.
The tragedy of the Chechi Kingdom caused Buddhism to experience a great pain. The two giant pillars of Buddhism threw themselves into the hell realm and the animal realm among the six realms of reincarnation. They also saved Buddhism from a boundless catastrophe. The four Buddhist monks lost one person. As a result, even if Buddhism finally completed its journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, the "transmission of Buddhism to the east" would still have flaws and would no longer be perfect, and it would be difficult for Buddhism to gather its destiny.
After some internal consideration within the Buddhist sect, the last few main core disciples went to the "Ultimate Bliss" in the void. It was decided by Amitabha and Zhunti Buddha Mother Bodhisattva personally. The new Tathagata of the Buddhist sect was taken over by Sakyamuni Buddha, a disciple of the Great Sun Buddha. Jia Tathagata Buddha is in charge of the affairs of the Buddhist sect, and the rest of the people help him.
Although the path of Sakyamuni Tathagata does not reach the Daluo realm, it is still at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. Enlightenment of Daluo is only a matter of time. The remaining Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Daluo realm feel guilty. When it was difficult to take up the post of Tathagata, Amitabha and Chunti Buddha chose Sakyamuni Buddha, thinking that he could lead Buddhism out of the trough and towards prosperity.
At this time, Sakyamuni Buddha, who assumed the position of Tathagata, was sitting on the lotus throne, wearing bright yellow monk robes, a gilt cassock, a bun on his head, and a large, round mole on his forehead. The ears hang down from the shoulders. The treasure is solemn. A golden halo of light flashed behind his head. After ascending the throne, Sakyamuni Tathagata preached to the three realms of heaven and earth according to the Taoist sect's requirements and apologized to the Taoist sect.
Today, important figures in Buddhism gathered together to discuss how Buddhism should act.
The Buddha Viposhi is sitting on a lotus platform on the left, wearing a white monk's robe, a white cassock, white eyebrows and white beard. With kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he was awarded the title of Buddha in the ancient times and is now the real number one person in Lingshan Buddhism. He has a respected and important position in Buddhism. Every word and deed has a great influence on Buddhism. Sitting on the right is Maitreya Buddha. Maitreya Buddha was conferred the title of Future Buddha, and was also consecrated as the Buddha from the East. He is also a very influential Buddha in Buddhism today. There are Medicine Buddhas on both sides below. Vairocana Buddha, Jeweled Pillar King Buddha. Dragon King Buddha, Lazuli Light King Buddha, Pure Joy Buddha, Narayana Buddha, Parauna Buddha
The Buddha's light shone brightly in the main hall. Buddha Vipassi seemed to be shaking his long eyebrows out of habit. He raised his eyes and looked at Sakyamuni Buddha. He put his hands together and bowed slightly to salute. Just as he was about to speak, Sakyamuni Buddha already raised his hands. He bowed in return and said, "The junior monk dare not accept the courtesy of the senior monk. If Buddha Vipasi has anything to say, just say it!"
After listening to the words of Buddha Sakyamuni, Vipassi Buddha showed a smile on his face, his white eyebrows twitched, and he said: "Buddha Sakyamuni has received the courtesy of the poor monk! What the poor monk wants to say today is: I Buddhism has learned from this calamity, how we should act in the future, we must discuss a guideline today so that my Buddhist disciples can abide by it!" After saying this, his eyes swept over the Buddhas and monks.
After Buddha Vipassi finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha also said: "This catastrophe has damaged the reputation of our Buddhist sect and brought a bad name to the three realms of the world. The development of our Buddhist sect is particularly unfavorable. We must plan carefully and try our best to restore it. Only with the reputation of our Buddhist sect can we cooperate with the opportunity of 'Buddhism spreads eastward' to revitalize our Buddhism and realize our wish for the great development of Buddhism."
Medicine Buddha also spoke: "The Great Sun Buddha and Subhuti Bodhisattva risked their lives in exchange for the opportunity of our Buddhism. We must do our best to promote our Buddhism, so that we can live up to the sacrifices of the Great Sun Buddha and Subhuti Bodhisattva!" "
Vairocana Buddha said from the side: "I believe that the Great Sun Buddha and Subhuti Bodhisattva will definitely come back and lead our Buddhism to glory! Now we only need to try our best to maintain our Buddhism and eliminate the impact of this disaster!" said After facing all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva nodded slightly.
Sakyamuni Buddha clasped his hands together and spoke the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha! What all the Buddhas said is exactly the purpose of the monk inviting you here today! I am asking you to discuss together how to deal with the current situation of our Buddhist sect and what to do in the future. Act. Everyone speaks freely, offers suggestions, and finds a way out for our Buddhist sect!" With a glance, everyone felt that they were noticed by Sakyamuni Buddha, and there was a look of importance in his eyes.
A voice came from behind, the voice was deep and deep: "The poor monk thinks that I, the Buddhist monk, must devote all his strength to complete the journey to the west to obtain the scriptures! After this disaster, the four people who obtained the scriptures are no longer perfect, and Hanuman has lost The energy was extremely low, and Monk Sha followed silently without any suggestion. As long as he heard that there were demons stationed on the road, Tang Sanzang and his disciples would definitely take a detour and try their best to avoid the demon territory. In this way, the westward journey was planned Ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties are bound to be difficult to overcome, making the "transmission of Buddhism to the East" even more incomplete. Therefore, we in Buddhism must at present focus on preserving the journey to the west to collect scriptures.??Everything revolves around traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures. I have some suggestions from the humble monk, please give me some advice from all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! "
Everyone looked at the person who spoke and recognized it as Lingji Bodhisattva. During this trip to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, Lingji Bodhisattva also had a mission. He was always paying attention to the Buddhist scriptures and was always ready to solve some disasters.
After listening to the words of Lingji Bodhisattva, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas believed deeply that traveling to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures was related to the rise and fall of Buddhism, and they could not be careless. The disaster in Chechi Country was unexpected and a huge blow, which made the three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang depressed. Don't dare to take risks, Zhu Bajie's lesson is too profound. But in this way, all the arrangements for the westward journey backfired, ultimately leading to the failure of the "Buddha's Dharma spread eastward" effect.
Maitreya Buddha immediately spoke: "Lingji Bodhisattva's words are very good! Our Buddhist sect should really focus our main efforts on traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so as not to cause trouble again!"
Sakyamuni Buddha also nodded and said: "This matter should be put first before all other things. Please ask Maitreya Buddha to take full responsibility for this matter. I, the Buddhist sect, as long as it involves traveling to the west to obtain scriptures, let the Buddha send you!"
Maitreya Buddha clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and saluted: "Receive the decree of Sakyamuni Tathagata!"
Sakyamuni Buddha said again: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of our Buddhist sect, please forgive me for worrying about it!" But he clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted Maitreya Buddha, with a solemn expression.
Maitreya Buddha quickly bowed in return and said: "Don't dare, this is the responsibility of the poor monk. The poor monk is a member of our Buddhist sect. Dare you not do your part for our Buddhist sect? The poor monk will do his best and live up to his expectations." Entrusted!"
At this time, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva said: "I think this poor monk can still mobilize my Buddhist disciples to walk in the secular world, do good deeds, and increase the reputation of my Buddhist sect!"
Buddha Viposhi raised his white eyebrows and said: "Bodhisattva, this method is very good. It can also restore the reputation of my Buddhism, gather luck, and complement each other with traveling to the west to collect scriptures. I think it is feasible!"
Buddha Sakyamuni Tathagata immediately said: "I would like to ask Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva to take concrete action in this matter. It is up to Bodhisattva to choose which disciples to go down the mountain."
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva also quickly saluted and accepted the decree.
Seeing this situation, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also offered their suggestions and advice. For a moment, the crowd in the hall was excited, and everyone was vying for the first place. The high fighting spirit turned into a mysterious aura and rushed out of the hall, covering the entire Lingshan Mountain. It once again broke through the curtains of Amitabha and Zhunti Buddha. The restrictions merge into the space between heaven and earth.
??In the Enlightenment Cave of Xundao Mountain, Xundaozi sits upright on the cloud bed, his breath is misty, the cloud bed is filled with mist, the cloud bed is shimmering with rays of light, and the mysterious breath is flowing.
Since that sudden impulse, he spoke through the message and made a decision. Xun Daozi meditated and observed silently, trying his best to pursue the trace of the feeling that flashed through him at that time. He even used various treasures on his body, and finally he gained another glimmer of enlightenment:
I still remember that Xun Daozi had just returned from the void, and Buddhism was about to travel to the west. The Antarctic Immortal accidentally discovered the appearance of calamity energy between heaven and earth. Everyone worked together to calculate, and they only knew that this was the calamity of the demon clan. Even Xun Daozi himself could only calculate it at the beginning. This journey to the west to obtain scriptures contains the calamity of demons.
But now, when passing through the country of Chechi, there was a disaster. Xun Daozi once again concentrated on his calculations, and then he realized that although the tribulation of the journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures appeared to be a tribulation of demons, in fact, Taoism and Buddhism were also in tribulation, but the manifestations were different.
"The spread of Buddhism to the East" in Buddhism is an opportunity. In fact, this opportunity itself is a calamity. Opportunity and calamity are interdependent. If you get the opportunity, you must overcome the calamity!
If the way of heaven is lacking, nothing will be perfect! In the way of heaven, there is no perfection, nor can there be perfection; perfection will lead to loss!
Buddhism pursues perfection in the matter of "the spread of Buddhism to the east" and insists on perfection everywhere. This causes tribulations and destroys perfection with tribulations. This is the calamity of Buddhism.
Precisely because Buddhism insists on perfection, this calamity comes fiercely. Now in this vast world, only Taoism can become a calamity for Buddhism.
In this way, the Taoist sect has also entered a calamity. The Taoist sect has a catastrophe, but it is to trigger a dangerous catastrophe for Buddhism. This makes the catastrophe of the Taoist sect quite strange. This calamity actually fell on the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty of the Taoist sect, otherwise it would not be enough to trigger a great catastrophe for the Buddhist sect. . But what calamity can directly fall on the Sanqing Saint? There is no such calamity in this prehistoric world! Only then did the calamity of the icon's humiliation occur.
The Taoist sect suffers tribulations, and becomes tribulations again. Gain opportunities in this tribulation! When the tribulation arises, the prestige is damaged; when the tribulation falls, the prestige rises and the luck gathers! Could the mystery contained in this be understood by ordinary monks?
Although the Buddhist calamity seems dangerous, it can be overcome as long as you don't insist on perfection. Therefore, on the Great Sun Tathagata and Subhuti Bodhisattva made sacrifices, the catastrophe of Buddhism was naturally solved. Now everyone is united and full of vitality, and the whole Buddhism is like a new life. This is the real opportunity for Buddhism.
Great Sun Tathagata and Subhuti Bodhisattva themselves have entered the tribulation. If they can finally escape, they will reap the opportunities of the tribulation.
This is the true interdependence of fate, misfortune and fortune, and the movement of heaven and earth. It is so mysterious!
For Xun Daozi, this catastrophe was the real opportunity. He caught a trace of induction, a vague understanding, peeled off the cocoon, and finally the spiritual platform was transparent and the Taoist heart was clear! (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read here.)
