In the Pure Land of Whirlpool, on top of the Nine Jewels Pagoda, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Arhats, and Vajras of Hinayana Buddhism gathered together to discuss the matter of spreading scriptures to the Eastern Land.
According to the agreement between Mother Chunti and Sakyamuni, Theravada Buddhism is responsible for spreading the scriptures to the East. Once the mission of transmitting sutras is successfully completed, Hinayana Buddhism can leave Buddhism and return eastward. This is a major event in Theravada Buddhism. Even if the whole religion has some disinterest in Buddhism, they are extremely serious about this matter.
Seeing that the time was approaching, many details of the sutra transmission had not yet been determined, so Sakyamuni gathered his disciples together to discuss.
There are two main issues at the core of the discussion. One is the way of teaching the scriptures, and the other is the protagonist of the scriptures at this time, that is, the person who spreads the scriptures.
As the organizer and host of this conference, Sakyamuni also did not expect that this matter would be so complicated to discuss. Regarding the first issue alone, the method of transmitting sutras, fellow disciples argued endlessly. Led by Qiu-shou Bodhisattva and Lingya Bodhisattva, the entire Theravada Buddhism was divided into two camps and started a dispute that lasted for three days.
Qiushou Bodhisattva believes that the people who preach the sutras should be ordered to take the sutras directly from the Posu Pure Land to Xiniuhezhou, pass through Nanzhanbuzhou, and then enter the human world. The advantage of this is that it saves time and effort. By completing the teaching of the scriptures as soon as possible, I and my fellow disciples can return eastward as soon as possible.
Lingya Bodhisattva also wanted to return to Jiejiao as soon as possible, but he did not agree with Qiu Shu Bodhisattva's views. He pointed out that Mother Zhunti had requested that both the route and the people who would preach the scriptures in the Eastern Land should be determined by Hinayana Buddhism, but his disciple Sun Wukong must be among the team that preaches the scriptures, and he must be the main force.
This matter would have been easier to handle in the past. But now Sun Wukong is suppressed in the human world by the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit. You said that the team to preach the scriptures will set off from Hezhou, Xiniu, and wait until they reach the human world to get Sun Wukong out. The daylilies are cold. In that case, Sun Wukong would no longer be the main force. Not even a bit player, at most a familiar face. You have so blatantly fooled Mother Zhunti. It would be strange for that wise saint to easily let people like him return eastward.
Therefore, Lingya Bodhisattva¡¯s idea is that this time the process of spreading the scriptures to the Eastern Land is more complicated, and the process of spreading the scriptures to the Eastern Land is changed to taking the scriptures. The pilgrims set out from the human world, cross the Liangjie Mountains and enter Xiniu Hezhou. Arrive at the Pure Land of Whispering to obtain the scriptures, then walk south from Xiniuhezhou to Zhanbuzhou to enter the human world. Although it took a little more effort, it was able to make Mother Zhunti worry about her feelings and let people like herself go back safely.
Although there are no conflicts between the brothers on weekdays, and the relationship is particularly harmonious, this time the two brothers had a particularly fierce quarrel.
Looking at the two junior brothers, who were making their faces red and thick-necked, Sakyamuni secretly shook his head. However, Peacock Tathagata seemed very willing to see this scene and watched the quarrel between the two parties with interest.
Seeing Peacock Tathagata looking at the excitement with bright eyes, Sakyamuni knew that he should speak for himself. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how long the quarrel will last. At that moment, Sakyamuni coughed twice and said, "Junior brothers, please be patient for a moment. Please listen to Brother Fool's words."
As soon as Sakyamuni said this, there was a sudden silence in the pagoda. Just now it was noisy like a vegetable market, but now it is so quiet that if a pin dropped on the ground at this time, you could still hear the sound.
His eyes swept over the junior fellow apprentices. Just now, each of these people looked like they had been injected with blood, but now they were all sitting upright, like a group of well-educated Confucian scholars. The contrast between before and after was so great that Sakyamuni found it funny.
Sakyamuni wanted to laugh but didn't, but the Peacock Tathagata was beside him. But he couldn't help laughing.
Shakyamuni glared at Peacock Tathagata angrily, and said, "Junior brother, why are you laughing?"
Listen to Senior Brother¡¯s question. The Peacock Tathagata calmed down a little, but he still had a smile on his face, "Senior brother, when we were learning Taoism on Jin'ao Island, weren't you just like this today?"
Sakyamuni was stunned. The past was long, and pictures were passing before his eyes. Disciples of Jiejiao mostly practice the formation method, which is different from alchemy and weapon refining. Whether it's elixir refining or weapon refining, you can only do it by yourself.
But this is not the case with the formation. Maybe a word or a rough idea from a certain person can increase the power of the formation a lot. The Tongtian Cult Master never tolerates arguments among his disciples. Except in Biyou Palace, you can see the noisy Jie Cult disciples anywhere on Jin'ao Island.
Turning his attention to Peacock Tathagata, Sakyamuni remembered that this junior fellow apprentice was one of the few outliers in Jiejiao. He is said to be an alien because he has never been exposed to formations. However, whenever fellow disciples gathered to discuss Taoism and the quarrel became heated, this junior brother would stand quietly aside watching the fun.
I have been coming to Buddhism for a long time. Since I came to Buddhism and established Theravada Buddhism, these junior disciplesThere has never been such a quarrel and debate over something as today. Sometimes the absence of arguments or quarrels does not mean harmony. In the past, Theravada Buddhism was filled with a kind of depression, a suffocating depression.
Now that the return to the east is just around the corner, that depression has finally dissipated, and everyone in Theravada Buddhism is full of expectations for the future.
Gazing across the disciples, Sakyamuni smiled, "Junior brothers, don't argue. Since Sun Wukong is in the world now, let's change the inheritance to take it!"
The moment Sakyamuni opened his mouth and decided on the way to preach the scriptures, Theravada Buddhism had no dispute about it, and even the Qiu-shou Bodhisattva did not object. And there was no trace of any strange emotion in him. On the contrary, he looked indifferent, quite a bit like I was doing nothing, and he was completely different from the arrogant and glaring person just now.
The same goes for Lingya Bodhisattva beside him. There is no trace of pride on his face, but his eyes are blurred, as if he is recalling something.
Seeing that all the junior brothers were silent, Peacock Tathagata, who had not seen enough of the excitement, smiled and said: "Junior brothers, just now, the senior brother has decided on the method of teaching the scriptures, so now we might as well discuss the protagonist of the scriptures!"
As soon as the words of Peacock Tathagata came out, it was like a breeze blowing through the wheat field, and everyone present reacted. Qiushou Bodhisattva's face darkened, and Lingya Bodhisattva suddenly opened his eyes. Even the Golden Light Bodhisattva, who had never expressed an opinion from the beginning, could tell from his clenched fists that the Bodhisattva was not at peace at this time.
However, no matter how everyone reacted, no one spoke. No one put forward their own ideas or opinions.
Not being able to see the lively Peacock Tathagata, he was slightly startled. He immediately figured out the cause and effect and hesitated for a moment. The Peacock Tathagata turned his head and said to Sakyamuni: "This matter is of great importance. It is up to my senior brother to decide!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out Out Peacock Tathagata's words were all focused on him, and Sakyamuni sat on the lotus platform speechless for a long time.
Sakyamuni was silent, and everyone was silent. They all looked at Sakyamuni silently, waiting for their senior brother to make the final decision.
Sakyamuni can also be regarded as the world's top supernatural power. There are really not many people under the saints who dare to pat their chests and say that they can surely defeat him. A person with great supernatural powers at this level should have a firm mind and determination. It will not be moved by external objects. Be decisive in killing and will never be sloppy in doing things.
But at this time, Sakyamuni was really undecided and didn't know what to do. Finally, Sakyamuni sighed in his heart and finally said: "Since none of you are willing, then my disciple Jin Chan will be responsible for this matter."
"Teacher" As a disciple of Sakyamuni, Jin Chanzi had no right to speak when the teachers and teachers were arguing. Now she suddenly heard her teacher handing over the responsibility of spreading the scriptures to the Eastern Lands into her own hands. Jin Chanzi was surprised and happy in her heart.
I saw the joy that could not be hidden on Jin Chanzi's face. Sakyamuni shook his head slightly and said again: "Wutian!"
"The disciple is here!"
Sakyamuni looked at his first disciple in Buddhism and didn¡¯t know why. Sakyamuni felt that he had a temperament that was very similar to that of his great disciple Huo Ling. Although he was a little reluctant to give up, Sakyamuni said: "Wutian, after my master and your uncle return eastward, you will be the past Buddha of Hinayana Buddhism!"
"Teacher! This must not be done!" Wutian was shocked when he heard this. He quickly walked to Sakyamuni and knelt down. He said sincerely: "I am not talented, but I am willing to go back with the teacher!"
Originally, I heard that Sakyamuni designated the protagonist of the sutra as Golden Chanzi, but Peacock Tathagata didn't say anything. But I was very satisfied with my senior brother's arrangement. At this time, I heard Sakyamuni say that Wutian should be left behind. The past Buddha of Hinayana Buddhism, Peacock Tathagata, couldn't help but change his expression. Just say something to stop it.
Before Peacock Tathagata could speak, Sakyamuni had already noticed it. He shook his head slightly at his junior brother. Sakyamuni stretched out his hand and lifted Wutian up, "Disciple, stay!"
Wutian wanted to beg again, asking the teacher to take him away when he left, but as soon as he raised his head, he looked at Sakyamuni and saw the love in the teacher's eyes.
One hand held Wu Tian, ??and the other held Jin Chanzi. At this moment, Sakyamuni suddenly thought of his dead disciple, and sighed faintly: "You were born in the West, so stay in the West. As a teacher Before I leave, I will leave some opportunities for you, and you can only rely on your own for the future!"
Master and disciple are like father and son, and there was a hint of licking in Sakyamuni's words. Both Wutian and Jin Chanzi were so excited that they could not control themselves.
Pulling the two disciples who wanted to bow down, Sakyamuni asked Peacock Tathagata: "Junior brother, what do you think of Brother Yu's arrangement?"
Peacock Tathagata opened his mouth, shook his head, and then uttered two words: "Great Kindness!"
?¡¡
??Different from the background of "Journey to the West", today the heaven is a staunch ally of the Jiejiao, and the underworld is also controlled by the Jiejiao. Therefore, there will be no "Old Dragon King's clumsy plan to violate the laws of heaven", there will be no "Tang Taizong's resurrection in the underworld", and there will be no "reincarnation of the Tang King's good deeds". Therefore, even Sakyamuni could not find a high-sounding excuse for studying scriptures. He could only make some articles based on the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the world.
The original dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was between the Taoist Taoists supported by the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and the Buddhism backed by the King of Qin, Li Shimin. After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father. He ascended to the throne in the 95th year. He respected Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor and took care of his old age in Taiji Palace. However, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism did not end with Li Yuan's abdication.
Li Shimin, this talented and strategic emperor, was well versed in the art of balancing the emperor's mind. Although Buddhism had helped him in times of crisis, Li Shimin knew exactly what they were thinking. As for the Taoist sect, since Li Yuan abdicated, they have continued to show their kindness to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin accepted them smoothly.
There is a reason why we call Taoism at this time, not Taoism. Li respected Laozi and wanted to encourage people to teach Taoism. But the human religion has withdrawn from the ancient times, and there is no Taoist disciple to be found in the world. However, some people claimed to be members of the Taoist sect and went to Chang'an to seek refuge with Li Yuan. These people, headed by uncles and nephews of Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Tiangang, served as officials in the Qintian Prison of the Tang Dynasty and observed celestial phenomena. Calculate solar terms and predict natural disasters.
Buddhism and Taoism gathered in Chang'an, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty was bustling every day. Today you create a miracle, tomorrow I will create an Arhat. The day after tomorrow, he used the art of rejuvenating dead trees. The day after tomorrow, he had countless flowers blooming and fading in the cold weather. It can be said that this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a feast for the eyes of the people of Chang'an.
It¡¯s just that no matter how good the miracles are, there can¡¯t be too many. If there are too many, they will become fake. No matter which one of Buddhism and Taoism wants to win, it has to use other means.
The White Horse Temple in Luoyang, the eastern capital, this thousand-year-old temple is still standing after seven dynasties. Just like when Chen Jiugong passed by. There is a constant flow of people inside and outside the temple, and the incense is flourishing.
Today, the White Horse Temple has rejected all pilgrims who come to the temple to offer incense, whether they are traffickers or low-ranking officials. In fact, White Horse Temple posted a notice three months ago. The notice made it very clear that White Horse Temple will not accept pilgrims to worship Buddha today.
That notice has been posted for three months, and it is well known that White Horse Temple is closed today. But even so, starting from this morning. The avenue leading to the main gate of White Horse Temple was lined with people.
It turns out that today is the day when Shaolin Temple¡¯s eminent monk Yuan Zhenfa drives to White Horse Temple.
Since the eighteen-stick monks helped the current sage defeat Wang Shichong, Shaolin Temple has been building a large-scale construction project with the help of Li Shimin. Occupying the entire Songshan Mountain, with Li Shimin ascending the throne in recent years, the status of Shaolin Temple in Buddhism on earth has been rising steadily. It has surpassed the established sects of human Buddhism such as Jinguang Temple, Guanyin Temple, and Wenshu Temple.
Not many people have heard of the Yuanzhen monk in Shaolin Temple, but the visit of the eminent Shaolin monk to White Horse Temple is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Countless believers in Chang'an are looking forward to it, hoping that the eminent monks of the two temples can give sermons. But after waiting for seven full days, until the Shaolin monks left Luoyang, they still could not wait for the legendary Dharma conference. Instead, there is surprising news. It is popular among Buddhist believers in Luoyang area. It is said that in eighteen years, high-level Buddhists will travel westward. Go to Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, to obtain Buddhist classics.
A streak of colorful rays of light swept out from Hezhou, Xiniu, and went straight into the six realms of reincarnation. The one patrolling the Six Paths of Reincarnation today is the Jiao Demon King Fu Hai. He saw the colorful rays of light flying towards the place where all sentient beings reincarnate. Fuhai quickly said to the accompanying ghost soldiers: "You will report to Lord Yama as soon as possible!" After saying that, Fuhai flew up and flew towards the place where the colorful rays of rays of light fell. go.
When Fu Hai arrived, only one person saw a golden light shining into the human path. This man was facing away from Fei Hai, but seeing that he was wearing a cassock, Fei Hai couldn't help but feel shocked. He is a member of the Buddhist sect, and his cultivation level is extremely high, and he cannot see through it at all.
This is an ancient demon who has been practicing for many years. He also worshiped Chen Jiugong and practiced sage Taoism. Today, Fu Hai's cultivation has reached the peak of Daluo Jinxian. The only one who can't even see through him is the quasi-sage.
Thinking about the loss of Cang Jia Zhenren back then, Fu Hai felt very sad, but he was here to guard the Six Paths of Reincarnation because of his teacher's orders. It is hard to disobey the master's orders. Even if he dies, Fu Hai will not dare to retreat.
Raising the soul-splitting gun, Fu Hai shouted loudly: "Buddhist thieves dare to break into my six realms of reincarnation, you will die!" With that, Fu Hai pointed out his gun and stabbed him.
Having experienced the battle of the ancient lich, he is definitely a decisive character. The moment he took action, all the fear in his heart was wiped away. The black light on the soul-splitting gun flickered, piercing the man's back of the heart.
With one shot hitting the target, Fei Hai's expression changed drastically. He was stabbed by a spear, but the man did not dodge, and was forcefully hit by Fu Hai's shot with his physical body. Overturning the seaThe three treasures are the sea-covering pearl, the wind-fire robe and the soul-splitting gun. These three treasures, the Sea-Covering Pearl and the Soul-Splitting Spear, are all innate spiritual treasures. Compared with the sea-turning pearl that integrates offense and defense, this soul-splitting gun is a killing spirit treasure. With Fu Hai's cultivation, even an ordinary quasi-sage would not dare to resist.
"Is this person the same as senior brother?" After a shot with no results, Fu Hai was confused. If the person coming here is really like Yuan Hong, who is completely trained, then even if I stab him a hundred times, I won't be able to hurt him at all.
Just when Fu Hai was stunned, the person turned around and saw his appearance. He had just made up his mind to explode his soul and Fu Hai's desperate momentum suddenly stagnated.
"Is it you?" Fei Hai breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that he didn't have to die this time. He quickly put away the soul-splitting gun and bowed to this person.
Peacock Tathagata took a look at Fu Hai, stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "I am a Buddhist, I don't deserve your great gift."
"Yes!" Although the man in front of him was really a member of the Buddhist sect and the leader of the Buddhist sect, Fu Hai was respectful and did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Well, not bad! He has extraordinary qualifications. He is indeed a good young man. There are indeed many talents under Jie Jiao's sect!" Peacock Tathagata looked Fu Hai up and down, and after looking at Fu Hai for a long time, he praised him a few words. I just don¡¯t know if he is praising Fuhai or who he is praising.
Fu Hai also knew the relationship between Peacock Tathagata and Jie Jiao. Hearing him praise himself so much, he couldn't help but smile secretly.
Today the Peacock Tathagata is here to send Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Sakyamuni, into the six realms of reincarnation. After sending Jin Chanzi to the human realm, Peacock Tathagata, who wanted to leave, found a familiar aura coming towards him. To say that he is familiar is not because Peacock Tathagata recognizes Fu Hai, but because he recognizes the pure immortal energy in Fu Hai.
Thinking that the person who might have come was a former classmate, Peacock Tathagata didn't leave in a hurry. He didn't want to recognize the person who came. He must be a junior.
Since you are a junior, it is not good to not have a greeting gift. The Peacock Tathagata thought for a moment, stretched out his left hand, turned it upward, with the palm facing up, and the five fingertips shot out five divine lights of red, green, yellow, white and black.
Seeing five rays of divine light coming towards him, Fu Hai did not hide. He was indeed scared at first, but now that he knew the identity of the visitor, Fu Hai knew that Peacock Tathagata would never hurt him.
Five rays of divine light passed through Fei Hai and sank into his hair. He only felt that there was something behind his head. Fei Hai subconsciously reached out to touch it.
"This is the essence of the five elements, protecting you."
The voice of Peacock Tathagata reached Fuhai's ears. Hearing the words, Fuhai was overjoyed and came forward to worship. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
