Chapter 58 [Buddha and Demon One, Rahu is born]
On Lingshan Mountain, acting is king.
We are all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and we are people of high status. Naturally, we cannot end up arguing. Buddhism emphasizes the word enlightenment, and enlightenment is the most important thing.
As for true enlightenment or false enlightenment, only oneself can know.
Anyway, I have realized that under this kind of atmosphere, no one among the Buddhas in Lingshan asked questions.
Manjushri Bodhisattva is the Tathagata of the Three Worlds and the representative of supreme wisdom. All Buddha mothers in the ten directions and all Bodhisattva teachers see the images of the Buddhas in Lingshan and can't help but sigh softly. Since the sealing of the Hunyuan Realm, the spiritual light of all Buddhas has
He was mistaken, infected by all living beings, and turned into a statue of a god under the incense.
If it were the spiritual mountain of the past, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would have the path and fruition of the Tathagata in the past and future, and their original intention would not be lost, so it would be impossible for them to lie.
"There is no Buddha in Lingshan." Manjusri Bodhisattva sighed in his heart again and closed his eyes completely, not looking at the turbid world of mortals.
Several other Bodhisattvas who maintained their aura of wisdom also imitated Manjushri and closed their eyes to protect their spiritual platforms.
Bodhisattvas save all sentient beings, which is the Mahayana path.
Now they are like clay Bodhisattvas crossing the river, unable to protect themselves. Their attainment status has been reduced again and again, and they have turned back into Arhats.
Having lost the protection of the spiritual light of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Great Leiyin Temple became more and more jeweled and magnificent, and the voices of quarrels became louder and louder.
Maitreya said meaningfully: "Kasyapa, what have you realized, why not tell it?"
Mahakassapa pinched his flowers and smiled, and said with great sincerity: "What I have learned is just ordinary. Buddhas in the past have attained enlightenment in the past, Buddhas in the future have attained enlightenment in the future, and present Buddhas have attained enlightenment in the present."
"The so-called Ten Directions and Three Worlds is nothing more than this."
Some of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan agreed and agreed, but some did not.
Maitreya Bodhisattva suddenly burst out laughing.
Mahakasyapa asked again: "Why is the great Bodhisattva laughing?"
Maitreya Bodhisattva, with his majestic appearance and compassionate face, said: "A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; when he opens his mouth, he smiles at the ridiculous people in the world."
"That's good, that's good."
On the Lingshan Mountain, amid the thunder, the battle continued to rise and fall.
Led by the ten major disciples of Buddha, the battle against the camp of the future Buddha Maitreya is destined to not be a short one.
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed compassionately: "In that case, let me try Tang Xuanzang."
The old Tathagata Buddha sitting on the lotus platform finally opened his eyes, nodded and said: "Venerable Guanyin, you can go."
"I am coming too!"
"I am coming too!"
The two great Bodhisattvas, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, also stood up one after another, firstly to test Tang Monk, and secondly to avoid the confrontation between the two major factions in Lingshan.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
Tathagata Buddha also promised one by one, and some pure practitioners followed the three great Bodhisattvas and left.
In addition, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not in Lingshan Mountain, but in hell.
From then on, there was no wisdom and compassion in Lingshan.
Greed, anger, ignorance, seven emotions and six desires, and many evil spirits quietly lurk in the heart, causing Kasyapa and Maitreya to break up unhappy.
Afterwards, Kasyapa summoned his brothers to discuss countermeasures.
Venerable Upali, who was sitting on the lotus leaf, clasped his hands and said, "Only by letting Junior Brother Lohou Luo take action can we stop Maitreya."
Rahula!
The ninth among the ten great disciples, only before Ananda.
Mentioning this name, I suddenly fell silent.
Rahouluo does not break the forbidden precepts and can recite without slacking off, so he is called "the number one in esoteric practice"
As one of the ten disciples of Buddha, he should have a respected position. He should not only be the leader of a sect, but also a great Bodhisattva with a surname on Lingshan Mountain.
However, he only ranked eleventh among the sixteen Arhats.
Moreover, reputation does not manifest itself in spiritual mountains.
The reason is that he was the son of the Buddha before he became a monk. He was born to his wife Yasodhara when the Buddha was the prince.
Luohouluo also means covering obstacles and demonic obstacles.
Mahakasyapa looked extremely complicated and said: "Marquis Luo..."
Chinese people are accustomed to translating the names and taboos of Buddhas into familiar words.
Maha Kassapa, referred to as Kassapa.
Ananda, referred to as Ananda.
The same goes for Luohou Luo, it should be called Luohou
The star that suddenly appears in the night sky and threatens everyone is called Jidu; the star that robs the light of the sun and moon and causes eclipses is called Rahu.
However, Luohou happened to be born on the night of the lunar eclipse.
Rahu and Rahou, Ananda and Demon Buddha... This seems to be an extremely interesting phenomenon.
Why is it said that Buddha and demon are one and the same? You are a Buddha and I am also a demon, and you and a demon are also a Buddha.
This is a concept, an understanding, and a fact.
As a great wise man who founded Buddhism, like Lao Tzu, he naturally knows that running water does not rot and door hinges do not suffer from beetles.
On the contrary, it is the movement of Tao, and the weak is the use of Tao. All things in the world are born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness.
The Buddha can suppress the devil, and the devil can destroy the Buddha.
And this person who destroyed Buddhism must not be an enemy of Buddhism, at least not a real enemy.
Therefore, Buddha gave his power to the person he trusted most.
A generation of demon ancestors was born.
Shariputra, or the Venerable Shariputra, sighed: "Rahu has made great contributions to our Buddhism. When he settled in the ancient world, if he hadn't planned in every possible way and fought against Na Hongjun, how could there be two holy thrones in the west."
"I propose that he be released."
"Inappropriate!" A trace of anger appeared on Fu Lou's round face. His originally kind and caring elder's demeanor suddenly disappeared at this moment, and he said loudly: "He has made great achievements, but he also made big mistakes."
"He made the demonic sect bigger and completely out of control, letting the power of the demonic path fall by the wayside."
"As a result, the Second Demon Ancestor, the Yuanshi Demon, and the Maha Demon Lord... have risen one after another. Since then, my luck in Buddhism has been lost, and I have lost control of the demonic path."
"Besides, we didn't kill him, we just suppressed him."
Other disciples of Buddha also praised
"Good, good, he is the son of the World Honored One, how could he suppress the incident so easily?"
"Yes, Rahu has great merits, but we, the Buddhist sect, have never treated him badly. He was once just a little devil star god who came to the world with the help of his identity as the son of Buddha. We supported him to become the devil ancestor and become a big figure competing with Taoist ancestors.
."
"But he wanted to be self-reliant, so he expanded the Demon Sect aggressively and diluted his original shares. In the end, outsiders succeeded and divided up a lot of power."
"According to me, sealing him in Guixu will give him an advantage!"
"Besides, the Buddha is not here, and there are statues of gods on the Lingshan Mountain. If we really want to release him, who can surrender?"
…
Discussions arose one after another, and finally all the venerables looked at Maha Kassapa. No one of them obeyed anyone, except this Maha Kassapa.
Mahakasyapa was the ancestor of the Mahayana, and the Buddha occupied half of his seat. He had a complicated relationship with the Buddha, as he was both a teacher and a friend, and even treated him like a guest.
He has gone through the same journey as the Buddha in cultivating the Tao. Even if he does not meet the Buddha in this life, he can still be enlightened and become a single enlightened Arhat.
He can be called half a leader.
Many of the people here were introduced to Buddhism by this senior brother.
Therefore, Mahakasyapa can convince people.
After pondering for a moment, Mahakassapa looked up at the sky and sighed: "I realized that the sky is about to change. Sakyamuni is not in the Lingshan Mountain, and the golden body cannot protect the Taoism."
"Let the devil come out."
