Chapter 287(1/2)
"It's true."
Buddha Jianfen put down his cup and faced Taoist Zhunti and said sincerely: "I am a wild cultivator, I have never worshiped the three religions, and I have never worshiped the Heavenly Palace. I am fortunate to have heard some Eastern and Western Dharma principles, and I have adopted them for my own use.
My practice so far is mostly based on self-realization and self-enlightenment, understanding the path of killing, slaying karma, and seeing one's own nature to achieve enlightenment."
Snapped!
Snap! Snap!
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Taoist Master Zhunti touched his palms and praised: "The way that Taoist brother understood, "Killing lives and cutting off karma, and seeing one's nature to achieve enlightenment," is the same as our method of "seeing me when a flower blooms, and I see a lotus." They take different paths but reach the same goal."
Buddha Jianfen said with a smile: "This method was originally guided by the righteous teachings of my Taoist brother, and I was able to achieve success, so I can't leave it."
At this point, Buddha Jianfen paused slightly and sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't seen the profound teachings of your sect and can't enter again, so I came to visit your sect. I heard that Western teachings try to cross the destined guests, but I don't know how poor the way can be.
Is there a predestined relationship?"
Zhunti was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother Taoist does not dislike me for being poor in the West, and he comes from the same family as ours. It is destiny. If you want to join my sect, you, a poor Taoist, are just what you want."
Zhunti Hui agreed, and it was not unexpected that the Buddhist sword theory was divided. Western religion had not yet flourished at this time, and this Zhunti Taoist had traveled to the southeast and southeast several times to ferry and convert the destined guests in order to cope with the great prosperity in a thousand years. Naturally, he would not
Reject a monk who comes from the same origin and joins voluntarily.
The Buddha's sword was divided and he stood up and said, "I am grateful for your kindness."
While he was talking, a Taoist priest came over. He was six feet tall, had a yellow complexion and wore his head in a bun.
It is the Western leader who guides Taoists.
The Taoist entered the hall, bowed his head forward, and each made his own speech. After a while, he sat down again. Taoist Zhunti explained the reason to him, and a smile appeared on the face of the Taoist who received him.
Since the West is poor, there have never been any Eastern monks who have volunteered to become a monk. This Buddhist Sword Division is nothing short of a precedent.
Then he said enthusiastically: "We are both Lotus disciples, practicing pure cultivation. My Taoist friend is here, and I am very happy."
Buddha Jianfen said in return: "These two Taoist brothers do not think I am contemptuous. They enrolled me as a disciple and taught me how to achieve what I want. You are a poor Taoist who dares to be so kind."
After some small talk, the atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone toasted with plain wine without mentioning it.
About half an hour later, the Taoist asked: "My fellow Taoist has realized the path of "killing living beings and cutting off karma, and seeing one's nature and becoming the Taoist." Is it similar to the wonderful lotus method I teach? What's so mysterious about it?"
Buddha Sword said thanks: "Thank you for your advice!"
Didn't he know that the saint on the other side was slightly aware that his words were just to give him some guidance. But he couldn't speak directly for fear of hurting his feelings, so he found an excuse.
Monks in this world pay great attention to etiquette. Even though a saint is proud of his status, he is not self-restrained. If it is not a master-disciple relationship, even if others call him "teacher", he has to say "fellow Taoist" in return.
"Please listen to my teaching: cut off karma with great force and eliminate new sins, and kill all living beings with ruthless force to relieve the hanging."
"The majestic holy line is from the legend, leaving the wind and rain to wash away the sins."
"Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people. I use my sword to protect the common people and cut off the karma of sin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword light from the top emitted a great deal of light, and the sword intent forged from infinite Buddhist principles shot out three feet high, showing great compassion and great killing.
"Keep your mind and precepts and start killing, and you can't help but wipe out the evil atmosphere."
His own image appears in the light of the sword. With great compassion, he holds the killing sword and cuts off all the sins in the world.
Zhunti Taoist, Jieying Taoist sighed secretly: "What a compassionate Taoist."
However, at this moment, I suddenly saw a strange "卍" seal appearing in the sword light, hovering endlessly on the top, and shooting out endless sword light every time it rotated.
Not giving up, another "*" seal appeared in a moment.
The Buddhist Sword Master opened his mouth and said: "When people do evil, the road to good is short, and even if they fall, I will never regret it."
As soon as the two seals came out, Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist leader suddenly stood up from the table as if struck by lightning, looking at the two seals in surprise.
It is because of the feeling in my heart that this seal is enough to carry all the principles of my family. It can be the sect of the sect. In the future, seeing the seal will be like seeing the sect, just like the Taoist "Tai Chi" talisman.
"I have achieved enlightenment!"
"I have achieved enlightenment!"
The two Western Saints looked at each other and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhunti was overjoyed and said: "I and my Taoist brother have opened up the door to Western teachings, and have devoted themselves to integrating the Western Dharma, and achieved full results. It's a shame that we missed one step, and have been stuck here for endless years. Unexpectedly, we have finally succeeded."
"It's true, it's true. Unexpectedly, the path you and I have not yet completed has already appeared in the hands of others. It is indeed predestined that our sect will prosper."
At this moment, Buddha Jianfen said to stop his hand.
The two of them looked at him in surprise and joy, and they actually bowed at the same time and said in unison: "Brother Taoist and my religion are destined to be together, and we should be the third ancestors of my religion."
"No, with my achievements, how dare I take up this position." Fo Jianfen said, avoiding it and quickly shaking his head.
The Taoist Master said: "You should get it, you should get it. When the results of your achievements will improve in the future, this is the only way to find destiny, which is difficult to find in all the worlds. Taoist friends understand this seal, and the sect of Quanwo Sect is the right one to follow.
We are in charge of the great religion together."
Taoist Zhunti said: "It's true that my Taoist brother's merits are a little lacking, just because he has achieved self-enlightenment. Now that he has returned to his ancestral home, he has studied the wonderful Lotus Dharma, and with the help of Western teachings, the results of his achievements are not a problem.
Never refuse.”
"Well, then I will only feel ashamed."
It is said that the Buddhist sword deliberately manifests the "卍" seal. It is not a temptation. Since you want to achieve Buddhist status, the higher the better. This "卍" is a symbol of Buddhism, just like the "Tai Chi diagram" of Taoism, it is a sign of the Dharma.
Zong, once this seal is completed, the Buddhist teachings are almost complete.
"That's how it should be."
The two sages of the West spoke with the same voice.
At this time, the Taoist leader said: "Since my Taoist friends have understood the sect of the Dharma, do you think you know the name of my Tao?"
Buddha Jianfen joked and said: "I think the two Taoist brothers have also realized it. You might as well say it together and see if there is any difference."
The two saints of the West bowed their heads at the same time.
"Buddha."
"Buddha."
"Buddha."
The three words "Buddha" were spoken at the same time. The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
At the right time, he led the Taoist and said: "My Taoist merits have been achieved, and the sect should be changed to the "Buddha" sect."
When the sage speaks, celestial phenomena will occur.
In the Holy Land of Ultimate Bliss, suddenly flowers were falling from the sky, necklaces were hanging, and a swastika seal appeared in the sky. Behind the Taoist, a ten thousand-foot-long Buddha light emerged, illuminating the entire Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
Then he shook his body, and three golden relics appeared in the Buddha's light. The six-foot-long body suddenly opened the golden flower and turned into a "six-foot-long golden body", which was the golden body of the Dharma. Those three relics were the Dharma's relics.
The golden body is a Buddha statue. It appears to be so big that it can fill the entire sky. It appears to be urinating about one foot or six feet.
At this time, there are no Dharmakayas, Sambhogakayas, and Responsive Bodies compared to later generations. The relics of the whole body obtained through Buddhist cultivation also mean that the physical body becomes a Buddha.
This shows the difference between the Western Method and the Eastern Method.
"I am Amitabha."
As the Taoist guide fell down with a sound, the bun on his head disappeared like smoke, and the buns covered his head. The Taoist robe on his body also turned into a monk's robe in an instant. A lotus platform grew under his feet, and a six-foot-six-foot-sized Buddha stood there.
Sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform in the auspicious light.
At the right time, the entire holy land of bliss resounded with sounds of praise.
"Praise to Amitabha!"
"Praise to Amitabha!"
"..."
Jie Yin sat cross-legged in the void of the palace, spitting out lotus flowers: "Two fellow Taoists, if you don't show up as Dharmakaya now, when will you wait?"
Zhunti smiled knowingly, and suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and a holy statue appeared in its own right, with eighteen hands and twenty-four poems, holding the umbrella cover of the necklace, the fish intestines in the flower pot, the blessed pestle, the precious file, and the golden bell. Gold bows, silver halberds, flags and other items.
"I will definitely mention the Buddha's Mother."
Chunti Buddha Mother is also called Chunti Bodhisattva, Chunti Guanyin, and Qiju Buddha Mother.
The sound of praise rang out again in the Holy Land of Ultimate Bliss.
"Praise to the Mother of Buddha Zhunti."
"Praise to the Mother of Buddha Zhunti."
"..."
The sound of pious praise is endless, two Buddhas appear in the world, strange fragrance fills the holy land of bliss, and tens of thousands of lotus flowers bloom all over the world.
The Buddhist sword has not been touched yet.
How does he know what kind of attainment he should achieve? It sounds like he is the third patriarch of Buddhism, but his merits are actually far from enough.
The two Buddhas are sitting on the lotus platform with big smiles.
He Yin said: "I believe that the Dharma of my Taoist friends is good at fighting, and with great compassion, he can cut off all the evil karma in the world. I should teach him the "Holy Practitioner" and the "Sage King". He can be called the "Buddha Sword Great King", "The Fighting Victory King Buddha" "."
