Chapter 434: My body is in hell; Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has appeared!
It seems that the birth of Jin Peng has brought some different vitality to the Main Hall.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva, for some reason, always felt that he had overlooked something, and there was some inexplicable throbbing in his heart that should not have been there. The last time such a feeling occurred was when Tripitaka used the Great Sun Buddha's flame to transcend the canopy.
While the Bodhisattva was confused, and because her eyes shifted from Jin Peng to Sanzang's master and disciple, she suddenly saw Wukong clasping his hands together with a pious look on his face. Bad!
If this monkey were allowed to recite sutras for a while, wouldn't this little Jinpeng suffer an unreasonable disaster?
Unexpectedly, something would go wrong in this matter.
The Bodhisattva has personally experienced the power of the great sage's thunder sound. Ling Xuzi is still struggling with his brain. If Jin Peng is empowered by the thunder sound, I am afraid that the Peacock King Ming will never let it go.
The Bodhisattva secretly thought in his heart that he would have to find an opportunity to take Little Jinpeng out soon to prevent him from suffering any disaster.
Naturally, little Jinpeng didn't know what he was going to face when he was just born, but at this moment, he was obviously used to the palm of his eldest sister (eldest brother). He had already put down his guard and found a comfortable position to lie down. After all, this is the Mahavira Palace, a Buddhist gate.
In the holy land, under the illumination of Buddha's light, little Jinpeng felt very comfortable and had gradually let down his guard.
After this episode passed, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva explained the reason to Sanzang: "Trizang, this poor monk heard that you were in Baoxiang Kingdom, and you accepted the son of the Spirit Tooth Fairy into your sect and brought him into my Buddhist sect. But you
Then he transcended his father in the Shituoling Mountains. I wonder if Sanzang thought there were any hidden dangers in this matter?"
The question asked by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is obviously very tricky. If Sanzang is a "serious" monk, the answer to this matter will naturally be very simple. It is nothing more than that the four elements of monks are empty. Although the spiritual tooth elephant Buddha and the little elephant are actually father and son, even if the spiritual tooth
The Elephant Buddha rebelled against Buddhism, but the little Elephant was ordained and escaped into Buddhism, free from the turmoil of the mortal world.
But he was Tang Sanzang, or Tang Sanzang who personally avenged the murder of his father. If he said it like this, it would obviously be inappropriate.
But in fact, Fahai was not too worried about this issue. Since he dared to save the Spirit Tooth Fairy back then, he was not afraid that the little elephant would cause any trouble after he found out.
Moreover, Samantabhadra’s question is also very interesting.
He didn't ask Sanzang if he was afraid of trouble, he only asked if Sanzang had any hidden dangers.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name as usual, and then replied: "The Bodhisattva's name is great. You should only say what you say and do what you do. The poor monk has made great wishes, cut off karma and protect lives, and he should not care about human feelings. Before.
There are Tianpeng, Kuimulang, Huangfeng, Red Boy and others, and then there is the King of Inspiration and the Yellow-browed Boy. As for the cause and effect of all sins, they have long been returned to oneself. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
?”
"How dare you, young monk, my body is in hell, and I can bear thousands of sins and karma in the three realms. Even if I die and fall forever without being reincarnated, I will have no regrets or regrets."
There are of course hidden dangers.
Any mistakes must be corrected, those responsible must be held accountable, and those guilty must be punished.
No one in Lingshan dared to ignore Sanzang's determination, and no one dared to deny it. But at this moment, when I really heard the words from his mouth, I couldn't help being shocked.
Especially Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has always been close to Tripitaka, after hearing this, he could only say with emotion: He is indeed Tripitaka!
Sanzang and himself seemed to be at two extremes.
Bodhisattvas also have angry eyes, but they are still compassionate in the end. Tripitaka is the opposite. He only has a kind heart towards good people and hates evil as much as ever.
But his behavior is convincing because his requirements for himself will only become more stringent.
If Tripitaka had not violated the precept of killing by killing karma and protecting living beings, the Bodhisattva even believed that he could have taken charge of the Vinaya.
Of course, Sanzang has repeatedly stated that he is unwilling to become a Buddha. I am afraid that even the Lord of Lingshan cannot change his mind, let alone the leader of the Vinaya Sect.
However, the Bodhisattva had a plan that he did not say in his heart. If Sanzang was allowed to take over the Lingshan Discipline Academy, he would probably have to struggle a lot.
After listening to Tripitaka's words, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva clasped his hands and said to the Buddha above him: "My Buddha is merciful. The poor monk's affairs in Beizhou have not yet been concluded, so I will leave first."
After Samantabhadra Bodhisattva finished speaking, without waiting for the Buddha's consent, he stepped out of the door directly. Then they heard the sound of an elephant roaring, and everyone saw a white elephant coming through the air, carrying Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and walking towards the east.
Puxian Bodhisattva is a practical person. If Tripitaka had not come to Lingshan this time, he would not have even planned to come back.
Anyway, he is not very familiar with the Buddhas in Lingshan. Whether they are fellow Taoists originally from the Western religion or the three thousand worldly visitors who intercepted the religion and were transformed by the two Western leaders. He has never had any friendship.
His mission in Lingshan was to study Mahayana Buddhism and practice it in the human world. After all, Mahayana Buddhism is not something that can be done just by thinking it up, and he is a very important part of its practice and verification.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva rides on an elephant and walks away.
The monks in the main hall already had something wrong with their expressions. Couldn't they be allowed to stay in this huge Mahavira Hall for a moment longer?
Everyone left the venue early?
But when they went to look at the Buddha's expression, they saw that the Buddha remained motionless, seemingly not affected by the scene in front of them at all, and did not take these small things to heart at all.
Fahai also gradually realized the difference.
As far as the Buddha himself is concerned, it seems that he did not have high restrictions on the monks in Lingshan. This is probably one of the reasons why many monks in Lingshan violated the precepts before the establishment of the Lingshan Vinaya Institute.
Another one is the Buddha's attitude towards the two Bodhisattvas Guanyin and Samantabhadra. He did not regard the two Bodhisattvas as subordinates, but more like fellow travelers. Even though they fought to the death during the battle to confer gods.
I am afraid that even the ancient Buddha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, who are nominally tied with the Buddha, are far from being treated like this.
Maybe this is sympathy.
Based on the character of these two Bodhisattvas, not only in Buddhism, but also in the three realms, who can not admire them?
Thinking of this, Fa Hai believed that his practice was far from enough and that he still had a long way to go.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is said that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva left Lingshan and rode a white elephant, but did not go north immediately, but appeared in the Baoxiang Kingdom.
Today's Baoxiang Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous, especially after forming an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. The situation is changing almost every day.
Coupled with the alliance between Baoxiang, Wuji and Chechi, the resources are pooled and circulated, and the national strength can be said to be advancing rapidly.
In Baoxiangguo Temple.
After the death of the old abbot, Xiaoxiang has officially become the abbot and elder of Baoxiangguo Temple. In fact, regardless of his identity as a disciple of Tripitaka, he can definitely hold this position in Baoxiangguo Temple based on his own Buddhist realm.
He is no longer the ignorant little elephant who could say, "I don't even understand Buddhist scriptures, how can I understand Taoist scriptures?"
More than ten years of practice have earned him the title of eminent monk.
It's just that he himself thinks that he is not worthy of his name. After all, the object of comparison is his master-Tang Sanzang.
A few years ago, the golden body of the Elephant Buddha in the temple, which had not been cut off from the incense, suddenly gave birth to a spirit. I don’t know what it was inspired by. It hovered over the Baoxiang Kingdom for several weeks, attracting people from all over the country to pay homage.
Turn into Buddha light and go away.
Once he left, he never came back.
The king of the country and the little elephant initially thought that this was a sign of bad luck for the country. Otherwise, how could the elephant spirit abandon the temple and leave?
Later, a great immortal named Jin Guangxian made a special trip to look for it and said: "The original form of this Spirit-tusked Elephant Buddha is the White Elephant Spirit-Tooth Fairy who rides under the command of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
On the one hand, after causing harm to the common people, he met Master Tripitaka and was inspired by Master Tripitaka. He understood his sins and karma, woke up, and transformed into a Tao."
Both the king and the little elephant knew very well that the White Elephant Tooth Fairy was the little elephant's father.
After the little elephant thanked Jin Guangxian for his message, he meditated for seven days in front of the Lingya Elephant Buddha statue.
After leaving the temple, I saw enlightenment and enlightenment.
"Thank you two junior brothers for your concern." Before the two junior brothers could speak, Xiao Xiang knew what they were going to say. After all, their fathers were also saved by their master. "It's okay for me to be a poor monk. I'm just a son of man
, although he has become a monk, he cannot escape from the world of mortals. Now it is difficult to go to the Lion Camel Ridge, so he had to recite the transcendent sutra in front of this statue for seven days."
The master did not kill them all, nor did he treat the two junior brothers harshly because they were Kui Mulang's sons. Instead, he tried his best to teach the skills. The two junior brothers did not have any resentment or hatred towards the master.
When the little elephant first learned about this, he still didn't understand it, but he undoubtedly admired their open-mindedness.
Now I have experienced similar things, but I have found that some things do not seem to be truly sympathetic. If I say that I don't have a grudge in my heart, Little Elephant will think that I am too hypocritical.
But if I say that I hate Master because of this, it seems that it is far from that level.
The little elephant knows very well what the master does.
Just like when he and his master first met, he did not take action to save Kui Mulang just because he was a "demon spirit". On the contrary, his master did not show mercy just because Kui Mulang was a star in the sky and descended to earth.
In short, the little elephant was still entangled and confused for a moment. But he was not discouraged because the master taught that if you don't understand something clearly, you should put it down for the time being. There will always be a time when the clouds clear up and the fog clears.
.
But if you keep things in mind, they eventually become obsessions. Some things that could have been resolved will eventually lead to a dead end. When you want to turn back, you will find that there is no way out.
As for the Buddha: There is no end to the sea of suffering, but when you turn around, you will reach the shore.
Master seems not to agree with this sentence. What exactly is the sea of suffering?
Where is the shore that I see when I look back?
Even the master doesn't understand this matter, so the little elephant will naturally not embarrass himself.
On this day, he was chanting sutras in the temple.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting outside the temple: "Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has appeared -"
Then, the little elephant felt a kind and familiar atmosphere, stepped out of the meditation room, and called Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to fall into the courtyard. Behind the Bodhisattva, a white elephant with spiritual teeth was following.
"Father?!"
The little elephant looked surprised and doubtful, and saw the Bodhisattva in front of him. He quickly paid his respects and said, "I have seen the Bodhisattva in my enlightenment."
"Amitabha." Samantabhadra Bodhisattva took out a book and a letter from his arms and sent it to the little elephant: "This is your father's relic. The book is his original practice method, and this letter,
It should have been left by your father before he became a Taoist."
The little elephant stepped forward to take over his father's relics, but he did not open it immediately. Instead, he performed a Buddhist salute to the Bodhisattva and said: "My father is an illegitimate disciple here. I ask the Bodhisattva to forgive me."
"The poor monk knows this. Your father was originally a great Immortal of the Jie Jiao Sect. Two hundred years ago, he calculated that he was going to suffer a disaster. In order to be able to cope with the disaster with peace of mind, he descended to earth privately and gave birth to a son. This son is you.
Then, in order to help you get rid of your demonic body, I used the name of the Spirit-tusked Elephant Buddha to help the ancestors of the Baoxiang Kingdom establish the country, and then sealed you in a golden body so that you can enjoy the fireworks of the world and achieve righteous results." After saying this, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
After a pause, he looked at the little elephant and asked, "Do you know about this?"
"Reporting to Bodhisattva, apart from the fact that my father calculated the calamity and came down to earth to give birth to me in order to cope with the calamity with peace of mind, the disciples all know what happened next." After more than ten years of practice, the little elephant is no longer the reckless little demon he used to be. But he
I still boldly asked the Bodhisattva, "I wonder, Bodhisattva, what kind of calamity is this?"
"Your master, Tang Sanzang, seeks scriptures from the West." Samantabhadra did not hide anything and directly told the little elephant, "In this calamity, all gods and Buddhas, demons and ghosts, your master and his entourage, and even many living beings on this journey are all here.
Among them, your father has a fellow Taoist named Qiu Shou Xian, who later became the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Because his mind was not firm and his soul was confused, he was originally a person in calamity. Now he is infected with madness. Your father
Knowing that he could not escape death, out of loyalty to all brothers, we entered the disaster together and became monsters in the lower realm of Shituoling."
"Did my father ever harm anyone when he was at Shituoling?"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva did not expect that the little elephant would ask this question first, but he still answered patiently: "Although your father has never harmed anyone with his own hands, the 60,000 demons he protected have harmed people without any intention."
"Amitabha." The little elephant recited the Buddha's name and asked again: "The Bodhisattva said that my father is a Taoist. Wasn't he saved by my master?"
"If you listen to what the poor monk said, it is better for you to see it with your own eyes." Samantabhadra pointed at the white elephant behind him, and he saw a clear light blooming.
He waved his hand and said, "Come closer."
The little elephant stepped forward as told.
Then the clear light merged into his spiritual platform——
Then, the little elephant saw his father failing in a duel with his master and being captured by his master.
"I lost. If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you."
"It's a done deal. Even though it's not successful, I have no regrets."
"The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan need these demons to cause chaos in the world. Only in this way can living beings contribute incense."
"So there are only three great masters in the Three Realms."
"Although I have no regrets, I feel guilty about two things."
"First, if I could restrain the lives that lost their lives in Shituoling, whether they were monsters or humans, instead of letting them run wild, the scene might not be like this now."
"Secondly, my illegitimate son heard that he worshiped the Master. I just hope that he will not be separated from the Master because of this matter. He is still young after all. If anything happens because of my affairs, I also ask the Master to give me hope."
"A whole body of sinful karma is here. Since it fell into the hands of the Master, I don't want to survive. I dare to give the Buddha's flame to refine my heart, Amitabha!"
These are the words that his father said before he entered the Buddha's flame. At this moment, they are constantly circulating in Xiao Xiang's mind, especially those two embarrassing things. It turns out that his father is still thinking about him, and is even afraid that he will be separated from his master because of this.
The little elephant looked at his father calmly stepping into the Buddha's flame, with no resistance on his face, but also a look of relief. He could probably understand his father's state of mind at that time.
The Little Elephant of the Big Sun Buddha Flame naturally knows what kind of magical power this is. The father of two junior brothers, Wu Zhen and Wu Xing, Kui Mulang, was saved by the Buddha Flame. But why does the Bodhisattva say it is Taoism?
Could it be that.
After all, the little elephant knows that if he can withstand the heart-refining effect of the Great Sun Buddha's flame, he will get a pure soul.
The little elephant, knowing the outcome, could not help but become nervous at this moment, secretly cheering for his father, hoping that his father could survive this disaster.
Karma keeps being burned.
And my father's soul, under the Buddha's flame, became increasingly weak, crumbling, and almost dissipated.
The little elephant's heart couldn't help but be clenched in one place.
Seeing that my father's true spirit was about to disintegrate, I saw a Buddha's light, which seemed to come from the east——
