While Su Wen was lecturing, he also looked up at the sky.
Naturally, he saw the gods and Buddhas competing among the canopies, and even saw the Great Virtue Buddha and the Lord Carrying the Lamp Buddha fighting fiercely.
The two Buddha Lords did not use all their strength like the Glazed Light Buddha Lord and the Blue Lion Buddha Lord. Instead, they each sacrificed their natal artifacts and competed with each other with their own Dharma and Buddha power.
Su Wen's raised eyelids suddenly dropped and he continued to lecture.
It is not without reason that he chose this time to teach the Vimalakirti Sutra.
At this time, Buddhist powers from both the enemy and ourselves gathered together.
In the "Vimalakīrti Sutra", there are many Bodhisattvas defending "inconceivable liberation", each holding their own words. A total of thirty-one Bodhisattvas expressed their understanding of the "non-dual method" and were also Hinayana Buddhists. From this, they found out what they upheld.
The smallness of the Buddha's Dharma, how to break through Hinayana and move towards Mahayana, break through Bodhisattva's attachment to Dharma and reveal the Buddha's way, how to enter into Buddha's wisdom and understand Mahayana Zen.
Such scriptures are very important to the enemy Buddhists who appear here.
There is no doubt that this will attract their attention.
Maybe there will be someone who accidentally heard the "Vimalakīrti Sutra" and got promoted. It was only when I was encircling and suppressing the villain that I discovered that the villain was actually me.
Su Wen was looking forward to this scene happening.
In fact, he was almost certain that this scene would definitely happen.
Once this scene happens, one of his purposes of deliberately creating such a big noise will be achieved.
When the time comes, the camp of the Lord Carrying the Lamp Buddha will inevitably be in chaos. It is hard to say what the situation will be like in the end, but it will definitely bring unprecedented pressure to the ancient Buddhas such as Lord Buddha.
Sure enough, two-thirds of the way through the "Vimalakīrti Sutra", an Arhat trembled all over the sky, his face looked painful, he quietly gathered his breath, and prepared to retreat.
"Hendra Arhat, what are you doing... Okay, you, a thick-browed guy with big eyes, also believe in evil! Eh..."
The companion next to him first reprimanded angrily, but when he saw the strange phenomenon on the body of Hentu Arhat, he recalled the Buddhist teachings he had just heard, felt something in his heart, and trembled all over.
"My Buddha is merciful... The poor, poor monk has also gained enlightenment!"
But the epiphany did not bring him any joy, but more fear.
He was obviously following the Lord Carrying the Lamp Buddha to exterminate the heretics, but when he got there, he discovered that the heretic was himself.
What's even more frightening is that he knows exactly how many powerful men the Buddhist Kingdom has sent out to exterminate heretics.
The seven Buddha Lords, except for the Glazed Light Buddha who had been killed by the Green Lion Lord Buddha, almost all the six Buddha Lords were dispatched.
In addition, there are two ancient Buddhas whose names they have never heard of. However, the auras of these two ancient Buddhas cannot be faked. Once they arrive, they will have earth-shaking abilities.
So when we set out, everyone knew that if Lord Juxian did not accept the conditions, there would be only one way to complete destruction, without any possibility of victory.
Therefore, they also warned themselves from the bottom of their hearts that they would never listen or believe in evil methods, lest they get burned.
But……
Who would have thought that just by listening to a few words at random, one would have such a violent reaction and jump directly from Arhat to Bodhisattva!
If you listen carefully, wouldn't it mean that you will become a Buddha directly?
The two newcomers looked at each other, with annoyed expressions in their hearts.
If you can really become a Buddha, then there is no need to be afraid.
Even if he can't defeat the same Buddha, can't he still be unable to escape?
Hentarahan sighed and clasped his hands together.
At this time, he knew that becoming a Bodhisattva was a result of him adhering to Buddhist rules and abiding by his original intention for many years. He had good causes and achieved good results. However, in the end, because he lacked the thought of sacrificing himself for all sentient beings, he was destined to not seek greatness from Mahayana Buddhism.
Perfect.
"Nuoqiu, keep your voice down."
Heng Tuo still thought that he was lucky. He felt that the two powerful powers were in a stalemate at this time, and they would not be able to notice the fact that they had suddenly been promoted and changed their camps for a while.
"Ha ha……"
However, at this moment, Silver Light Bodhisattva looked in the direction of the two new Bodhisattvas, Hengtuo and Nuoqiu, and laughed: "Since you agree with the new method, why are you covering it up, thinking that if you hide it, they will let you go?"
"Amitabha!"
Following Yinguang Bodhisattva's violent shout, before Hengtuo and Nuoqiu could react, several strange Arhats from far and near said a Buddhist verse and flew behind Yinguang Arhat with a look of shame on their faces.
These people are originally Asuras, transcendent beings one level lower than Arhats. They were brought here by the Red Lotus Bodhisattva to cheer for the Buddhas to conquer the unsubordinates. Generally speaking, they are not even qualified to participate in a battle of this level.
nothing.
But at this time, after listening to the Buddhist teachings described by Su Wen, they suddenly transformed into Arhats!
For these Arhats, their moods are as complicated as those of Hentuo and Nuoqiu.
They did not have any hope for "pseudo-Buddhism". They only wanted to get familiar with the Red Lotus Bodhisattva and Lord Buddha during this expedition. After returning, they would have something to talk about in their respective circles. At the same time,
With more capital, you can get more support from believers.
But what I didn't expect was that after accidentally hearing the Buddhist scriptures preached by Su Wen, I fell into it unknowingly and couldn't extricate myself. I also awakened from it and got a promotion. I got myself directly into the rebel camp.
And they know better that those who "rebellion" in battle will not be forgiven, and will definitely be regarded as a shame by powerful people like Lord Buddha, who will be removed soon.
Therefore, there are not many options for them to choose. They run to Silver Light Bodhisattva, firstly to express their position, and secondly to seek shelter.
"well……"
Hengtuo and Nuoqiu sighed repeatedly, and the thousands of thoughts in their hearts were put away in the blink of an eye. Clouds and mist rose up and fell behind the Silver Light Bodhisattva.
"Hengtuo, Nuoqiu, you also rebelled?!"
But when the two of them were riding through the clouds, someone behind them shouted harshly: "Red Lotus Bodhisattva is not kind to you. Is this how you repay his great kindness?"
The one who cursed was Aya Arhat. He had a good personal relationship with Hentuo and Nuoqiu, and they often discussed Buddhism together in the past.
However, what I didn't expect was that these two companions had unstable Buddha minds. After listening to a few verses from Su Wen, they turned their backs and were promoted without any backbone... Both of them became Bodhisattvas, but he was still an Arhat.
While he felt betrayed, he was also quite frustrated. He had also heard Su Wen lecture before about the benefits of enlightenment... Why didn't he?
But he quickly suppressed this thought in his heart.
Sudden enlightenment will certainly bring about a leap in power, but it will also become the enemy of the Buddhist kingdom.
The hostility from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the short-term benefits gained will soon completely disappear, just like the Blue Lion Buddha, the body will die and the path will disappear.
"The true Buddha took pity on me and just gave me the Great Way."
Faced with the accusations from his old friends, Heng Tuo smiled bitterly: "Now we know that the sky is vast and the sky is vast. Aye Arhat, don't rest on your laurels. Listen more and understand more. You will naturally be able to understand the true principles of Buddhism and gain knowledge."
Great freedom.”
"I'm at ease!"
Aya Arhat upholds every rule of Hinayana Buddhism as if it were a god. He will not cross the thunder pond, nor will he allow others to cross the thunder pond. Naturally, he cannot benefit from the new method. When he sees others benefiting from it, he becomes envious and even more
Mostly hate.
"That's all. Since you are stubborn and unrepentant, the poor monk will personally save you and send you into reincarnation. This acquaintance is not in vain!"
He raised his Zen staff and recited a Buddhist verse.
But Aya Arhat secretly thought in his heart that if he were killed by the two of you, the poor monk would have no resentment.
He raised his Zen staff and pointed it at Hentuo Bodhisattva: "Hengtuo, fight with the poor monk!"
Gangtuo Bodhisattva took a step back. He did not want to fight with his friends.
"Amitabha, poor monk, come!"
Nuoqiu clasped his hands together and strode out: "Aye, you have to break the obsession in your heart, move from small to big, and gain true freedom..."
"Shut up! Look at the poor monk and give him a stick!"
He used the Zen staff as a long stick and knocked it down on the head of Nuoqiu Bodhisattva!
Nuoqiu Bodhisattva shook his cassock and immediately wrapped his Zen staff, and the battle between the two sides officially began!
It's just that the competition between the two seemed so insignificant in the context of the battle between the great virtue and the two Buddha Lords holding the lamp. Even except for a few people of Silver Light Bodhisattva, they couldn't even notice the life and death between Aye Arhat and Nuoqiu Bodhisattva.
battle.
The Colored Lantern Buddha and the Juxian Buddha face each other from a distance.
The two of them were in no rush to take action.
The two sides have already had the experience of fighting, and the result was a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Now both parties look in high spirits and seem to have never been injured.
But the fear deep in his heart was not concealed.
Lord Lantern Buddha is not in a hurry.
These days, he and the Lantern Buddha did not take a more radical approach and immediately attack the heresy.
Because it takes time to awaken other ancient Buddhas, and after the awakened Buddhas wake up, they also need time to adjust and adapt to the environment in order to exert their strongest state, so they adopted a strategy of holding back.
After Lord Liuguang was killed by the green lion, all the Buddhas were deeply shocked and knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer.
When Su Wen announced that he would be on the stage to lecture on Buddhism, the Buddhas felt that this was a great opportunity to catch all the heretics in one fell swoop, so they stepped over and prepared to fight.
Regardless of the Buddhist teachings Su Wen preached, it seemed to have caused quite a stir and indeed created many miracles.
But compared to the base number of extraordinary beings in the entire Buddhist kingdom, it is still too small. Not everyone can gain insights after listening to the Buddhist teachings.
Those who profited from it were naturally grateful and believed in the new Dharma from then on. But what about those who did not benefit from the new Dharma?
Especially the Arhats and Bodhisattvas who were originally in high positions were not willing to see such a situation arise.
If they are given the opportunity, they will definitely try their best to destroy this situation.
Therefore, Lord Caiguang Buddha brought hundreds of Bodhisattvas and thousands of Arhats!
Buddhism has accumulated thousands of years of experience here, how could it lose!
However……
But when he discovered that someone in his originally united team actually surrendered to the enemy on the spot and became a hostile force, Lord Caiguang Buddha realized that the situation was not good and that things seemed to be developing beyond his control.
