Lowering his head and looking at the sentient beings, Jiang Chen said slowly:
"Although the Buddha died, the spiritual mountain is still there, the Buddhist door is still there, and I am still there. Now that the Great Thunder Sound Temple is destroyed, it is a good thing, and it is in line with the principle that if it is not destroyed, it cannot be established."
"Now I will rebuild the Great Thunder Sound Temple on Lingshan Mountain, and build the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas to enshrine the tablets of Ten Thousand Buddhas. I will collect incense and vows for them to help them come back from the disaster."
The moment Jiang Chen finished speaking, Lingshan felt something and suddenly began to tremble violently. The Buddha's light that had been extinguished by the great supernatural power emerged again, like a scorching sun, extremely bright, and the entire Lingshan was reflected in its brilliance.
At the same time, the fragments of the Great Thunder Sound Temple were also trembling, floating piece by piece in mid-air.
The power that the ancient warrior left on these fragments began to fade away rapidly, and soon it disappeared completely.
Without the suppression of the power of the ancient warriors, the immortal power of the Great Thunder Sound Temple itself began to revive, and wisps of golden light bloomed from these fragments.
Immediately, as if time went back, these fragments of the Great Leiyin Temple began to reset one by one.
Next, under the personal witness of all beings in Xiniu Hezhou, the Buddhism holy land Dameiyin Temple reappeared bit by bit.
Seeing this scene, the creatures in Xiniu Hezhou were greatly shocked, and they quickly bowed to Jiang Chen and said, "My Buddha is compassionate and has immeasurable merits!"
However, before all the sentient beings could bow down, Jiang Chen's majestic voice sounded again: "In front of my Buddha, all sentient beings are equal, how can I bow down?"
Along with this voice came an extremely powerful force that swept through the entire Xiniu Hezhou in an instant, gently dragging all the living beings who wanted to kneel down to their feet.
Jiang Chen stepped forward to stop him, and the sentient beings did not force him. After standing up, he clasped his hands together and praised again: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate."
Jiang Xuan, who was hiding aside to watch the show, heard that Jiang Chen was going to build the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and guessed that he was indeed up to something. He wanted to replace Buddha with gods and turn Buddhism into a divine gate.
No, that's not right. Buddhism is still Buddhism. The teachings have not changed, and the name has not changed either. It has become just the person inside. It has changed from a real Buddha to a god named Buddha.
Now I just don’t know how big Jiang Chen plans to be, whether he plans to replace all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, or only some of them.
In addition, there is another trouble, that is, although Buddhism has accumulated a lot of vows, they all have owners.
Although its master has died, it is not an easy task for Jiang Chen to take it back.
And this is just the immediate trouble, the real trouble is yet to come.
Those Buddhas finally broke through reincarnation and came back from all the tribulations, but when they returned to Buddhism, they found that another version of themselves was sitting in their own place, enjoying the offerings of sentient beings.
How can the Buddhas endure this scene?
Identity, status, glory... everything has been replaced by others. This hatred will last until death.
If Jiang Chen really wants to replace the Buddhas with gods, then when the Buddhas return, there will be a fight.
…
Jiang Xuan guessed correctly, Jiang Chen planned to replace the Buddhas with gods.
What have the Buddhas brought to the sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou after many years in Lingshan? They open their mouths to be compassionate and keep their mouths closed to be compassionate. They always boast that they save the suffering, but do they really keep their words and deeds consistent?
No, the compassionate Buddha not only failed to bring happiness to all living beings, but actually caused the living beings under his rule to live a miserable life.
In this case, what is the use of such Buddhas? It is better to let Jiang Chen replace them with gods.
At the very least, the god who was born from the will of all living beings knows best what the needs of all living beings are.
No, to be precise, the Buddha who is conceived by the wishes of all living beings is the Buddha in the minds of all living beings. The mind of God is impermanent and takes the hearts of all living beings as its heart.
Therefore, gods will be born into the world in the form that all sentient beings most expect.
Whatever sentient beings think in their hearts, that is what gods will be like. These are the gods of incense and fire. They are not born in heaven and earth, but in the human heart. They are not gods of heaven or earth, but gods of humanity.
Protecting all living beings is their responsibility and the source of their strength.
If they were to replace the Buddhas, I cannot say how well they would do, but they would certainly be better than the Buddhas. At least they would not allow demons to wreak havoc.
As for whether this will offend the Buddhas?
It sounds like if Jiang Chen didn't do this, he wouldn't have offended the Buddhas.
This time he led his men to conquer Lingshan Mountain, and even killed the Buddhas in Lingshan Mountain in the name of demons. He had already offended them to death. Even if Shinto could not replace them, they would not let Jiang Chen go.
On the contrary, if Jiang Chen uses the power of incense and vows to create gods and replace them, it will be equivalent to having a large number of helpers. When the Buddhas return in the future, they will counterattack, who will win and who will lose.
The Shinto practice method is different from the traditional practice method, and the main highlight is the word "fast".
Gods do not need geniuses, treasures, or spiritual energy. As long as sentient beings have enough willpower, they will rise quickly and reach extremely high realms in a short period of time.
The most indispensable thing in Buddhism is the power of incense and vows. Among the three realms, Buddhism has the most temples, the widest number of believers, and the most pious people. Therefore, Buddhism has more incense than Taoism.
After millions of years of accumulation, even if the Buddhas of Buddhism have consumed part of it, the remaining incense and vow power is still a terrifying astronomical figure, enough for Jiang Chen to create several innate Taoist beings out of thin air.
However, how to use these willpower is also a problem, but this matter is not urgent. The most important thing now is to send everyone from Xuanmen away first.
The demon has been eliminated and the Lingshan Mountain has been obtained. It is no longer worthwhile for the Xuanmen people to stay here. It is time to let them leave.
After they left, Jiang Chen could start his own plan and bring drastic reforms to Buddhism.
But it's easy to invite gods, but it's hard to send them away. It's easy for Xuanmen's great supernatural powers to come, but it's not an easy thing to get them to leave. You have to pay a price that satisfies them.
The purpose of Xuanmen's great supernatural power is to destroy the Buddha, but the two sages of the West are still there and will definitely not allow this to happen, so this is out of the question.
But it can give the great powers of Xuanmen a little hope of destroying the Buddha, which can calm their hearts and allow them to leave happily.
So how to reassure them?
Jiang Chen's heart moved, and he thought of the man who almost destroyed the Buddha in later generations, so he had an idea.
He sighed and said to all the Taoist masters: "Today there are demons and demons who harm the way, and false Buddhas who deceive people. Although they should not be destroyed, they should be corrected."
"The younger generations want to change the Buddhist temple into a palace, the Tathagata into a deity, the Buddha to return to his origin and into a great enlightened golden immortal, the Bodhisattva into a great scholar, the Arhat into a venerable one, and the monk into a virtuous man, all with hair and crowns.
Take charge."
"Seniors, what do you think?"
