Chapter 193: Putting the palms together and opening the palms
Pure Land Calendar, Year 120, New Year's Day.
The bells echoed in the sky above the Pure Land.
All sentient beings gather together. There are hundreds of thousands of believers in the Pure Land of Good Paths, and there are hundreds of thousands of evil disciples in the Pure Land of Evil Paths.
Bodhisattva's Dharmakaya, leaning on Sumeru, is preaching here today.
"The world has been restored to peace. Let's restore the unity. In the next life, I will be the way of heaven."
All living beings bow their heads and praise him for his great kindness and great kindness.
"All sentient beings can survive the tribulation of the last days and bloom in the next realm."
"I will establish a lineage of Taoism, called Heart Zen, and all sentient beings can practice it."
Luyuan Bodhisattva described in detail what the upper condition is, what the three bodies are, how to practice meditation, how to cultivate supernatural powers, and warned the public that Tao is the first, and magical powers and techniques are the last.
All living beings respect the will and look respectful.
The Bodhisattva also instructs believers in the Pure Land of Good Paths to reflect on themselves at all times and not to fall into the evil paths.
He also advises all the evil disciples in the Pure Land of the Evil Realms that if they sincerely respect the Buddha's Dharma and do good deeds at all times, they can escape from the control of the evil Buddha who has cut off his karma.
After the chores were completed, there was a huge earthquake in the Pure Land, golden light filled the sky, and everyone was unconscious.
The Sambhogakaya of believers in the good path is transformed into a white night-blooming night-flower, and the Sambhogakaya of the evil-doers is transformed into a black night-blooming night-flower. All people, spirits, monsters, ghosts and intelligent beings, according to their nature, have their souls fly out of their bodies and merge into these two flowers.
.
…
Lu Zhengkang twirled the white epiphyllum in his left hand and the black epiphyllum in his right hand, walking leisurely between the upper edges.
Going deep into the core of the picture scroll world, here, with his guidance, everyone can intuitively feel the wonderful superiority. Such an experience is like feeling the existence of atoms on a piece of wood. Things can see their own essence clearly and be promoted.
A new realm of understanding of the universe and self.
For a time, on the two epiphyllums, between the layers of petals, countless souls boiled, including joy, sorrow, piety, sadness, grief and indignation, and so on.
The soul is very strange. It governs the three bodies and is actually a link. After death, when the soul falls into the upper realm of reincarnation, it may be able to sense the Sambhogakaya, as if it is returning to the light. Then the soul will dissolve and the Sambhogakaya will collapse.
But this time, there is no need to worry about the impending disaster. Bodhisattvas are protecting everyone. It is considered a destiny.
At this moment, the souls of all living beings happened to fall on the epiphyllum composed of the Sambhogakaya, so they all sensed their own Sambhogakaya.
The pure land of the good path is carefree, but the evil disciples of the pure land of the evil path are extremely sad to find that their Sambhogakaya is in the hands of the evil Buddha who has broken the karma. At this moment, the first demon of the next era is sitting in the center of the black night flower, with evil intentions.
Awe-inspiring, he looked at the countless souls among the flowers with greedy and cold eyes.
Lu Zhengkang looked down and saw that everyone had sensed the Sambhogakaya.
The first step is completed.
Next is the Right Destiny Knot, which refines all sentient beings into an Indra net and connects them to each other.
The second step is also easy to complete.
The original two epiphyllums now turned into two relics wrapped in orb silk mesh. Lu Zhengkang thought for a while and called them Zhengyuan relics. Anyway, they were the product of a transitional period.
Since then, all the preliminary work for restarting the era has been completed.
…
A picture scroll floats on the upper edge of the universe.
Countless scenes appeared on the gray scroll, depicting the ups and downs of sentient beings, from gods and demons in ancient times to scientific society, spanning hundreds of millions of years and thousands of epochs of changes, but they were only glimpses.
The development of the world was determined from the beginning.
Until outsiders broke in and brought new vitality.
Yishuangke is one of them.
Lu Zhengkang is also one of them.
The difference is that Lu Zhengkang's fate is even more mysterious. Just because he is extraordinary.
The god who blends light and void.
He who is so powerful deserves to be treated favorably.
Lu Zhengkang smiled at the plainly dressed man in front of him and said, "I will walk the rest of the way for you."
The man wears a goatee, has a round face, and looks very gentle. He is the Heavenly Way of the Scroll World, but in fact he is the incarnation of some of the thoughts left by the Great Immortal Luozhou.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. We'll see you again by fate."
After the two exchanged greetings, they each turned around. One headed towards the outside of the universe and dissipated leisurely, while the other walked up to the picture scroll and waved gently.
The boundless painting rolled up little by little and was held in Lu Zhengkang's palm. His body suddenly expanded, stepping on the upper edge of the universe, like a fixed rock.
He is Lu Zhengkang, and he is Lu Yuan Bodhisattva!
In the upper edge, which is about to return to Yuanyuan, a rosette slowly rises. Deer Yuan Bodhisattva sits down peacefully, with his left hand in Dharma mudra, and his right hand gently spreads his palm, placing it in front of his chest. A picture scroll floats on the palm of his hand.
Two positive relics flew out of the painting and chased around the Bodhisattva.
"The era ends and the hands together are destroyed."
The Bodhisattva gently clenched his fist, the picture scroll was broken, the sky collapsed, the earth fell, the stars were extinguished, everything returned to darkness. The turbulent upper edge was squeezed into nothingness.
"New life begins again, and when you open your palms, you will be born again."
The Bodhisattva loosens his fist little by little, the upper boundary explodes, and a new universe is born. This is the Pure Land world.
Two relics couldn't wait to fall into it.
The appearance of the new world is entirely determined by the Bodhisattva's own preferences.
It can be a round sky and a square place, or it can be a planet or space. However, since you can decide it by yourself, why should you stick to the fixed rules?
Use your imagination and turn your most fantastic fantasies into reality.
…
It is said that Mount Sumeru is the center of the universe.
Mount Sumeru is not a specific mountain peak, but a pillar bearing the sky. With Mount Sumeru as the boundary, one side is the world of light and righteous Dharma, and the other side is the world of black heaven and heretics.
The sun moves around Mount Sumeru once per day.
The stars are distributed in the outer layer of the universe, and they travel once every one year.
All living beings live on two spherical stars, with the atmosphere covering the surface and land and ocean below.
One is a good star, chasing the sun, and is on the same side of Mount Sumeru as the sun, in the world of light and righteousness. The other is an evil star, avoiding the sun, on the opposite side of Mount Sumeru from the sun, and located in the black sky and heretic world.
The good-path star and the evil-path star each have a satellite, which is called the pure land moon. The moon orbits the planet once for one month.
The Good Way Star has the alternation of day and night, rich products, numerous creatures, and loving each other.
In the evil realm, only the stars in the sky are for company. Farming is difficult and all living beings suffer.
Every hundred years is one life. At the end of the century, the twin stars converge on Mount Sumeru, and the creatures on it can communicate with each other, so there is bound to be a war.
Sentient beings of good deeds risk their lives to defend their homeland, while evildoers of evil deeds also rack their brains for the sake of the colorful world.
Two years after the two stars came together, they separated and continued their unchanging reincarnation until the next century.
This is a disaster but also an opportunity. Everyone on the twin stars, and the entire civilization, attaches great importance to the war and spares no effort to improve their military force.
Therefore, martial arts flourished.
Everyone practices martial arts just to kill the enemy or protect themselves.
The so-called pure land world is exactly full of disputes.
