Chapter 338
The Dharma Assembly is a traditional festival in the Western Regions, and is held on the coldest winter day at the end of the year. This festival was used by various sects of the Western Regions Tantric Buddhism to exchange magic and martial arts. It was originally founded by Tsongkhapa, a genius in the history of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions.
In that dimest era in Tantric history, it was Tsongkhapa who revitalized Tantric Buddhism and also established this summoning ceremony so that various sects could learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, allowing Tantric Buddhism to wipe out its decline and gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions again.
The Description and Sutra Square in Drepung Monastery is spectacular. Whenever the Dharma Assembly begins, thousands of people will sit on the ground and listen to the sutras on the round platform in the center.
The round table faces all directions, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary, to show the principle of equality of all living beings. In recent years, this convening ceremony has been getting worse and worse, and gradually becomes a form. Each time only some monks from the Yuanyu stage come here to communicate, and the strong are basically extinct here. However, this time it is different.
The three major temples in the Western Regions stood in a squat and were at peace. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the chief disciple of Samye Monastery, Kwang-Diamond (when I heard the name, I knew it was a tragic supporter), suddenly led the masters in the temple to Ziguang Temple, and captured all the monks of Ziguang Temple without bloodshed. This action caused an uproar.
Samye Monastery did not take Lianhua Temple and Drepung Monastery seriously. Therefore, this time, this time, the Supreme Elder of the Lotus Temple, Naruba, and the Master Shan Wuwei, the host of Drepung Monastery, compiled a book to Samye Monastery and invited Vajra Zhi to come to the meeting.
This is also a chance to give Vajra Wisdom to explain everything that happened. After the Dharma Assembly began, the fire and situation that the monks in the Western Regions were worried about did not happen. Without secret conversations, after the three real people of the souls met, they only smiled a few times to dissolve the tense atmosphere.
The Dharma Assembly was carried out as usual, but the monks became eager. It is said that on the last day of the Dharma Assembly, that is, the third day, the three great masters of the Western Regions would also take the stage to preach, so that those monks in remote places would not be excited?
On this day, the third day of the Dharma Assembly, when the morning sun first rose, the monks sitting cross-legged in the square opened their eyes and looked excitedly at the center of the round platform, waiting for the exciting moment.
A golden light broke through the sky and stood leisurely on the platform. A whole piece of white jade was placed on the platform made of five-colored soil. When Tangcheng fell, it was silent.
After scanning his eyes, he found that the monks' eyes were dull and they all stared at him with silly eyes. After a moment of thought, Tang Cheng knew what was going on.
[Alas, they are all a group of pitiful people, okay! I will give you a big bleeding today and bring my insights of seclusion together. I am still as kind as ever!]
After Tangcheng was in seclusion, no one could tell the Buddhist principles he had realized. In this special place, he suddenly felt like he was happy and couldn't help but fall down and sit down, and opened his mouth and said, "Our practice emphasizes the cause of bodhicitta, great compassion as the foundation, and convenience as the ultimate. However, the little monk has some understanding of reading the scriptures, so he will try to talk about the word "cause".
Bodhicitta is the cause, great compassion is the foundation, and convenience is the ultimate. This sentence is the introduction to Tantric practice. What does it mean? To practice Tantric Buddhism, you must first develop the Bodhicitta of your own nature, which is the foundation of all dharmas and the cause. Then, you must use the great compassion to save sentient beings to nourish Bodhicitta and make it grow, just like the relationship between a tree root and a leaf. What is the "ultimate"? The ultimate can be regarded as "complete" and "extreme". Convenience is the ultimate, which refers to how to do it in order to become a Buddha. For example, the precepts stipulate that you should not steal, but if stealing is beneficial to becoming a Buddha in special circumstances, you can steal. The same is true for killing people.
The teachings of Tantric Buddhism are so powerful that neither the Taoist sects in Middle Earth nor the Zen sect can tolerate such sects that are similar to the Demon Sect, which makes them unable to stay in Middle Earth and stay away from the Western Regions.
However, you have to say that this kind of sutra is very beneficial to Tantric monks. However, Tangcheng should take a different approach, referring to the scriptures of the Middle Land Buddhism, and use cause and condition as the fundamental practice until it becomes a Buddha.
"The result is a cause. Those who always do good for benefiting sentient beings have taught emptiness, which is extremely determined by the cause. It means that the principle of dependent origination cannot be achieved in contradictory. This is how can we understand it in the teachings of respecting the teachings? If you see it at the time, emptiness is the uprising of dependent origination. The nature of emptiness and establishment are not contrary to what you do. If you see it against that, emptiness will not be achieved, and if you are useful, there will be no emptiness, and you will fall into the dangers of suffering."
The rise of Tangcheng on the Five Colors High Platform seemed to be exploding below, whispering to each other, and the square that was originally as quiet as a cemetery was buzzing.
"Who is this monk? He is so brave! Do you know that today is the day when the three masters preach? "
"I'm crazy if I want to become famous. I must beat him up after I go out!"
"Only overestimate one's own abilities!"
"madness!"
However, as Tang Cheng's voice continued, all the noise disappeared, and a silent needle in the square could be heard. Since they could be sent to participate in the summoning ceremony, these monks would not be too stupid. The good or bad scriptures could be heard. Every word Tang Cheng said was a masterpiece of martial arts. Many monks sweated on their foreheads and quickly took off their robes and bit their fingers to prepare a blood book, but where was there any time?
"The appearance appears from causes. Therefore, there is no detachment, and there is no less Dharma. Therefore, it is said that there is no detachment without nature, and there is no less Dharma. If the dharma has self-nature, it is said that there is no Nirvana, and there is no destruction of self-nature. Therefore, among the wisdom people, they roar with a big lion and sing with it several times. Who can say that it is difficult for anyone to be able to do so. Moreover, there is no less self-nature, and in this life, it is established, and both are not inconsistent with it."
Even the three soul monks stared at Tang Cheng with complicated expressions. Even if they heard this scripture, they would gain a lot. It can be seen that Tang Cheng is definitely not a person without origin.
They thought that the other party's disciples were about to show off, so they remained silent together. The three of them did not speak, and who dared to come to the stage to interrupt Tang Cheng?
Therefore, the preaching continues.
"Things are done to be done... and often come from one thing... and there is something... and it is based on the emptiness... Buddha is the result of man."
"The Buddha is an enlightened sentient being, and sentient beings are an unconscious Buddha!"
Generally speaking, if the preacher has profound Buddhist teachings, the sky is full of flowers and the golden lotus gushing on the ground, it is just an ordinary vision, but now Tangcheng preaches, there is no movement in the sky.
Until the last sentence was spoken, the scene of a Buddha suddenly laughing in the sky with flowers seemed to be commending. The monks in the audience were stunned, but Tang Cheng was not distracted at all.
He realized something slightly, smiled slightly, and sang: "If I can become a Buddha, there will still be hell, hungry ghosts, and animals in the Pure Land, I will not attain the supreme enlightenment. If I can become a Buddha, the heavens and people in the Pure Land, after their lifespans have ended, I will not attain the supreme enlightenment..."
At the moment when the preaching was over, Tang Cheng suddenly realized the true meaning of Amitabha Buddha. The Great Sun Tathagata's robe suddenly provided infinite power. A Tathagata's Dharma body slowly rose behind Tang Cheng, and the infinite light shone through all directions.
The monks who fell to the ground suddenly stood up and started to clamor. What a big event, another monk is about to advance to the primordial spirit, which means that the fourth primordial spirit monk will be born in Tantric Buddhism.
However, some guys with gloomy minds were worried that the balance would be broken and became worried. The three soul monks smiled slightly and congratulated each other: "I am happy that this sect has added talents."
Tang Cheng involuntarily formed seals, clasped his palms with humility, his ring fingers, his little fingers joined into his palm, his index fingers attached to the back of his middle fingers, and he raised his thumbs to form a three-eye shape. At the same time, he chanted in his mouth: "Everyone should control the six senses, and he will follow the pure thoughts, and he will get samadhi, which is the first."
The seal is the seal of the Buddha's head!
Words are the words of Buddha’s enlightenment!
Tang Cheng suddenly realized that infinite wisdom was born in his heart, all troubles in the world were eliminated, and all wisdom was born. The most direct reaction was that another Dharma body of Tathagata arose behind it.
The Supreme Holy Buddha of Tantric Buddhism, the Great Sun Tathagata!
In just a short moment, Tang Cheng condensed two Buddha Dharma images in succession, which directly shocked the monks to become stupid. The three soul monks could not sit still, and suddenly stood up, looking at each other, shocked and suspicious.
