It was only after Ming Luohan ignited his Buddhist power that the faint voice of the Silver Light Arhat sounded behind him: "It is not easy for you to achieve the status of Arhat. Don't be stubborn and go further and further down the wrong path!"
"...So it turns out that Silver Light Arhat also betrayed the true Buddha and the Dharma?"
When Mindrohan heard the rough voice of Silver Light Arhat, his heart skipped a beat.
The Silver Light Arhat has always been upright and informal, and usually does not pay much attention to the rules and precepts. However, his respect for the true Buddha is no less than anyone else, and he is supported by the people of the entire Savatthi Kingdom because of his straightforwardness and sincerity. The Silver Light Arhat
The reputation of the Silver Light Arhat is not only limited to Sravasti, but also to Jingjue, Loufan and other countries outside the Pure Land. The Silver Light Arhat often does good deeds and preaches sermons in the surrounding small countries. It is precisely the existence of the Silver Light Arhat
, the number of people who were rich and unkind in the surrounding small countries was greatly reduced. The horse bandits and thieves were either wiped out or escaped to the sand sea. They did not dare to go out at will, lest they attract the pursuit of the Silver Arhat.
Ming Luohan also has great respect for the Silver Light Arhat. After all, everyone who practices Buddhism seeks self-transcendence, but the Silver Light Arhat can benefit all living beings after self-transcendence and attainment of enlightenment, which is unmatched by many great sages from the Buddhist country.
However... at this time, Silver Arhat stood on the side of the new scriptures and new laws, and Ming Arhat couldn't help but feel heartache.
"Noisy!"
Silver Arhat snorted coldly: "The Sa family doesn't care about such boring things as you picking up words and debating Buddhism!"
He said nonchalantly: "Being an Arhat in the Sa family is not achieved by reciting ancient sutras and worshiping the true Buddha! The Sa family only knows that there is a Buddha in their hearts, performs good deeds, and cultivates their own minds, and they will naturally achieve the right result! If Su Wen's
If a scripture can persuade people to do good and achieve positive results, it is a good scripture. You don’t care how many people it says can become a Buddha! If everyone can become a Buddha, everyone can make it on their own, and ultimately achieve nirvana and achieve the supreme positive result.
Isn’t that the best thing?”
At the end of the sentence, Silver Arhat's tone was filled with anger.
He couldn't stand many things in the Buddhist country.
Although the Buddhist country advocates "Bodhisattva conduct" for everyone, this is not actually the case.
In the Sravasti Kingdom, people have long been divided into three, six, and nine classes. Those who can become extraordinary people will not be from too low a background. As for the lower class, there are almost no people who have awakened to the Dharma.
The reason is very simple. They are either busy with their livelihoods and have no free time to listen to the Dharma. Or the places where the Dharma is preached are not accessible to them. What's more, they don't even have a free identity, and there are no great sages to go to those dark places.
Even if Arhats and Bodhisattvas with great perseverance and perseverance are willing to perform such good deeds, most of the poor and untouchable people at the bottom cannot understand these exquisite Dharma, and it is all in vain.
All living beings are equal, but some people are more equal after all. Although Buddhism is boundless, it cannot save the untouchables.
The Arhat of Silver Light was not of a noble birth, and was certainly not a pariah. His family background was average. He had access to venues where great sages preached the Dharma, and often interacted with the pariahs. He was more interested in the lice-infested hua on the back of this glorious Buddhist kingdom.
Most of the great sages who only know the classics know better.
But Silver Light Arhat can't change anything. This is the foundation of the Buddhist kingdom. It is precisely because of this foundation that the untouchables at the lowest level are more superstitious about Buddhism, hoping to endure hardship in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life, and are willing to accept all sufferings.
It is precisely because of this that the Silver Light Arhat was unwilling to stay in Savatthi State most of the time, but wandered deep into the desert. Over time, he also gained some fame.
But it didn't help the pain inside him.
However, the Buddhism preached by Su Wenji... gave him some hope.
If it is true as Buddhism says, everyone can become a Buddha, and people can not only save themselves, but also save others.
So...in the Kingdom of Savatthi, many people from humble backgrounds can from time to time change their own destiny and the destiny of others with the help of Buddhism, and finally become a paradise in the true sense?
Silver Light Arhat carefully read a scripture for the first time.
The Diamond Sutra is only a few thousand words long, but Silver Light Arhat spent an entire night reading it.
He still could not understand the subtleties of many of these Buddhist teachings, but he understood that they were by no means false Buddhist teachings. Only a true Buddha could speak such Buddhist teachings, and even the characters mentioned in the Buddhist teachings were all Buddhist legends.
The characters in the text are like true Buddhas. They have either reached nirvana or retired, or have gone to the sea of stars beyond the sky. This shows that the authenticity of the scriptures is beyond doubt.
What Silver Light Arhat is curious about is why Su Wen finally brought this supreme Buddhist teaching, which is full of wisdom and subtlety, to the world.
Similarly, he seemed to understand Juxian Bodhisattva's previous prophecy.
Su Wen is a person who will bring disaster to the Pure Land.
It can even be said that it was these people who brought Su Wen to the Pure Land and took the initiative to bring disaster to this place where there had been no war or killing for many years.
but……
The other part of the prophecy is the changes Su Wen brought to the Pure Land.
In the prophecy, Su Wen brings an uncertain fate to the Buddhist country, but there is also a bright and glorious road, that is, the great prosperity of Buddhism. From then on, it no longer only lives in one corner, but blooms everywhere, and Buddhism can be found everywhere in the world.
, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority among living beings, everyone can achieve great enlightenment and become a Buddha immediately.
The bad parts of Juxian Bodhisattva's predictions have become reality.
So……
Silver Light Arhat is also willing to believe that the second half of Juxian Bodhisattva's prediction will also become a reality.
It's just that the whole process... is destined to be long.
But one thing is certain, Su Wen is the key to the spread of Buddhism in the world, so it is duty-bound to protect Su Wen. Naturally, Ming Derohan cannot be tolerated to hurt Su Wen. Especially when Ming Derohan attacks Su Wen with the idea of perish together, it is even more silver-colored.
What Arhat cannot tolerate.
So he took action decisively.
An academic like Ming DeRohan, a great DeRohan with no combat experience, is no match for the Silver Light Arhat who is full of martial virtue and is either fighting or on the road to fighting all year round.
Silver Light Arhat held down the iron staff in Mindrohan's hand with one hand, broke it with all his strength, and snatched it away.
Immediately afterwards, his elbow instantly hit Mindrohan's heart, sending him flying away.
Mindrohan groaned and spat out a large mouthful of golden blood. When he was blown away by the Silver Light Arhat, the Buddha's power he burned was also immediately extinguished.
"You have to work hard for such a small thing, and decades of cultivation, that's all?"
Silver Arhat stepped on Ming Luohan's chest, and his voice was filled with anger: "Is this how Buddhism is used? You keep saying that Master Su's Buddhism is a chaotic dharma, then use your true talents and knowledge to refute it.
Instead of killing him! If you kill him, wouldn't it just prove that what he said is right, and you can't refute it, so you can only take such a despicable method?"
"...Gu..."
Mindrohan's chest was stepped on, and blood spurted out of his mouth. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't say a word and could only utter some meaningless syllables.
The Silver Light Arhat sighed and said to the True Mortal Arhat: "Let's imprison him for the time being and wait for the Bodhisattva's downfall."
The real Arhat looked sad and nodded silently.
Because of Su Wen, there have been many disharmonious incidents in the Juxian Bodhisattva's dojo. This is not something that has happened in the past few decades, but has never happened since the Juxian Bodhisattva's dojo was built.
When the real Arhat saw this scene, he naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.
Just by reciting the Buddhist verses silently in his mind, he soon began to use the Buddha's power to eliminate all kinds of distracting thoughts in his heart and strengthen his confidence.
Since he was able to benefit from the scriptures preached by Su Wen and eventually became an Arhat from an ordinary monk, it means that the scriptures preached by Su Wen are full of Buddha power and can save all sentient beings.
Since you are not wrong, you should stick to it!
"Junior brother, you will realize it sooner or later!"
The real Arhat lifted up the fallen Ming Luohan and sighed quietly: "I will arrange a Zen room for you. Just face the wall and repent."
Mindrohan, who was seriously injured by Silver Light Arhat, turned his head and remained silent.
He can be defeated, but it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that the Dharma he practiced in the past is wrong, let alone change his mind and admit the authenticity of the Dharma taught by Su Wen!
"Every day from now on, senior brother will go outside the meditation room to give you lectures on sutras to help you get rid of the demonic obstacles..." Zhenfan Luohan said this with sincerity.
"Ahem...kill me!"
When Ming Luohan heard this, he immediately felt that he had no love in his life.
Seeing that Ming Luohan was being dragged away, Silver Light Arhat straightened his clothes and said to Su Wen: "There is chaos in the city now. The Sa family can only protect you for a while, but they cannot be by your side all the time. You must pay attention!"
Su Wen nodded repeatedly: "Thank you Arhat for reminding me, I will naturally know."
There was no need to remind him of this. He also knew that at this time, he had become the target of public criticism in Savatthi City. At this time, it was naturally impossible for him to run outside the ashram.
"Arhat, what's going on outside?"
The Silver Light Arhat came here, naturally not on a whim, but Juxian Bodhisattva had already anticipated this and had greeted the Silver Light Arhat in advance.
This is the dojo of Juxian Bodhisattva! Even his own dojo is not at ease, which shows that the situation outside may be beyond the understanding of the real monk!
"not too good!"
"Duguyuan and Yuchigang were very contemptuous of the Dharma you preached. They did not obey the Bodhisattva's order. Instead, they took the opportunity to raise troops and surrounded Savatthi City."
Silver Light Bodhisattva shook his head gently.
Duguyuan is the eldest son of the lord of Savatthi City. Although the lord of Savatthi City is just a chess piece introduced by the Buddhist masters to manage the secular world, the Dugu family has been entrenched in the Pure Land for many years and has considerable power. Among them, the family has thousands of private soldiers.
He was led by Dugu Yuan, who was usually stationed in an oasis abroad, protecting the trade routes in all directions. After the city lord Dugu Yi joined the conservative camp, Dugu Yuan led his private army to break into Shewei Kingdom and quickly surrounded the royal city.
Yuchigang was the actual leader of the army of Sravasti. The army was originally controlled by the city lord Dugu Yi. After Duguyi was controlled by Juxian Bodhisattva, Yuchigang led an army to invade and plunder all directions, causing endless evil.
Forcing Juxian Bodhisattva to release Dugu Yi.
Such great turmoil occurred in Savatthi City, which had been peaceful for a long time. For a time, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats, who were full of great wisdom, also felt troubled and did not know how to deal with it.
