Chapter 773: That means outsiders don’t know the inside story; does he want to clear his name?
Entering the Lingshan Mountain is a matter that no one at Daci'en Temple is interested in.
But if there is an opportunity for Daci'en Temple to ban Lingshan and make it an authentic Buddhist sect, then of course they wouldn't mind helping.
Not to mention the Daci'en Temple, forces on the side of the Tang Dynasty are also willing to promote this matter... and letting Sanzang Saint Buddha lead Buddhism is a good thing for the entire three realms. There must be not many who are opposed to it.
The most important thing is that with the Tathagata Buddha reincarnated and re-cultivating, and Wutian Buddha taking over Lingshan, even if Tripitaka Buddha himself does not have this idea, all the Buddhas in the Buddhist world may sooner or later migrate to the Tang Dynasty.
The kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were quite excited when they saw the news that Tripitaka Buddha was in the demon world.
Before, they only knew that Sanzang Holy Buddha went to Lingshan and then took the initiative to enter the demon world. Many creatures from the three realms who accidentally entered the demon world were rescued by Sanzang Holy Buddha... But what kind of person is Sanzang Holy Buddha in the demon world?
They really don't know much about the situation, so they will inevitably feel worried.
The main fear is that Sanzang Saint Buddha would have an accident in the demon world, which would cause the Tang Dynasty's national power to be damaged, and they might miss the opportunity caused by this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Perhaps for the vast majority of living beings, it is indeed an existence that cannot be avoided, but they are all people who want to become the trendsetters of the times, and of course they have to ride the wind.
If an accident occurs and one dies, one can only blame one's own skills for not being as good as others, or one's lack of luck... Since one is willing to suffer disaster, one must have such an awareness.
Of course, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty would not doubt the authenticity of the scene in the jade talisman of Zen Master Wujing. In the more than three hundred years since he returned from studying Buddhist scriptures, Zen Master Wujing had not achieved fruition, but his cultivation had
It has been rising steadily.
According to the Great Immortal Yun Zhongzi of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Alliance, Zen Master Wujing's cultivation level is no longer inferior to his. The two of them had also competed, but they only reached the point where they could not determine the winner.
The five-man group that studied Buddhist scriptures in the West back then is now the Zen Master Wujing who is active in the world.
Master Sanzang Buddha comprehended the way of heaven in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and accumulated strength for this great tribulation.
The senior brother, Monkey King, Monkey King, has long jumped out of the Three Realms. It is said that he is currently resisting the alien demons in Xuandu City in chaos... But those who know the power of the great sage are mourning for the alien demons.
And they hope that the Great Sage can torture these extraterrestrial demons in the chaos for a lifetime and never return to the Three Realms.
The second senior brother Zhu Bajie traveled around the world and became enlightened through food. He is now in a state of neither human nor demon, neither immortal nor god, neither Buddha nor demon, nor monk nor secular. As for his future path, even Master
Even Tripitaka Buddha could not foresee it.
All I can say is that everyone has their own circumstances.
Little White Dragon is a lay disciple. He has not been able to achieve his wish so far and was ordained by his master... However, in his lay body, he is revered as the White Dragon Bodhisattva by the beings in the three realms, and he can be regarded as the second in the three realms.
The first is his brother-in-law Yang Jian. In some places in the world, he is called "Erlang Bodhisattva"... But that was in the past, and now Yang Jian is called Erlang Zhenjun.
It was Zen Master Wujing who truly inherited the mantle of Tripitaka Buddha. And after Tripitaka Buddha passed the position of abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple to Wujing, the disciples of the Consciousness-Weight Dharma taught him the title of their second ancestor.
Moreover, Wuxiang, who was far away in the Baoxiang Kingdom, was not idle either. He also founded the first branch of the Consciousness-Only Dharma Teaching - the Dharmaxiang Sect. He realized the status of Baoxiang Bodhisattva and regained his freedom.
This incident also caused quite a stir at that time. You know how many Buddhist monks have been practicing for thousands of years but never achieved positive results. At that time, a little elephant who almost went astray just became a registered disciple under Sanzang Saint Buddha.
He didn't even practice with Sanzang Buddha for a long time, but he actually achieved the status of Bodhisattva in just three hundred years... How can people not be jealous of this?
From this we can see what kind of cultivation Zen Master Wujing, a direct disciple who has been following Tripitaka Buddha and receiving teachings, will achieve.
That is, outsiders don’t know the inside story.
When I first realized the signs and accidentally realized the Bodhisattva status, I immediately ran to Chang'an and asked the master to knock down his Bodhisattva status... He said that he was just not paying attention, and the Bodhisattva status was taken advantage of.
, he had no intention of attaining the status of a Bodhisattva, and he really discredited his master!
This can only be said by their inner sects themselves. If it is released and let the sentient beings in the three realms know, what kind of trouble will arise if it is not kept intact. To say that their lineage of consciousness-only teachings is "arrogant" is probably an understatement.
But monks who are really familiar with the concepts of the Consciousness-Only Dharma will probably know that this is the norm and that all of this is inherited. Otherwise, among the Consciousness-Only Dharma, there would not be only three teachers who have achieved the fruition status till now.
...
With the catastrophe, there are few places in the Three Realms that can truly maintain peace.
Even those Buddhist countries known as the Pure Land had a lot of chaos; first there were demons sent through the cracks in the demon world, and then Wutian Buddha came to visit.
"Second Junior Brother, it's been a long time."
Maitreya, who is always smiling, could only maintain a smile on the outside when he saw Wutian Buddha, but he was actually quite stiff in his heart... As the senior brother of Lingshan back then, some things were actually not Maitreya's own thoughts.
, but in this position, I often can’t help myself.
Besides...he doesn't have the rebellious courage like his second junior brother to disobey his sage master.
"Now that I am the Lord of Lingshan, I wonder what the Buddha from the East thinks?" Wutian did not face Maitreya as Kinnara. He now wanted to conquer Maitreya's Pure Land as the Lord of Lingshan.
"Amitabha." Maitreya Buddha recited the Buddha's name and said: "I have seen Wutian Buddha."
"Hahahaha——!" Wutian suddenly laughed loudly, "Elder brother, can you go to the Glazed Pure Land with the poor monk?"
Maitreya Buddha helplessly touched his exposed belly and said with a wry smile: "Yes."
"Second Junior Brother, you know that Poor Monk, as early as ancient times, Poor Monk has no intention of competing with you for the master of Lingshan. Whether it is Buddhism or cultivation, Junior Brother is above Poor Monk... Poor Monk also
I once mentioned this matter to Master, but Master refused."
Wutian Buddha's head paused for a moment, and he looked at Maitreya Buddha with a very serious expression, "Elder brother, you should also know that when the poor monk was still in Lingshan, he never coveted the position of the Lord of Lingshan... But
Back then, Master actually used such poor excuses to expel me from Lingshan...Amitabha because the poor monk would threaten my senior brother's status."
Having said this, Wu Tian also recited the Buddha's name. He could never let go of this matter, "But he should never, never should... why must he take action against Ah Sha? She is innocent."
Kinnara never denied that he was in love with Ah Sha.
But A-Sham died because of her. Even after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva entered the underworld and became the leader of the Netherworld, he used his authority to search for traces of A-Shame... but in the end found nothing.
In the book of life and death, Ah Sha was in her last life, and there is no record of her reincarnation.
Moreover, A-Shame’s soul has never been found in the underworld.
Although Upalatha Buddha did not say this explicitly, Wutian had reason to suspect that Asha was the kind who was "transcended" by him and that his soul was gone.
In this regard, Maitreya Buddha didn't know how to persuade Wu Tian, because even he thought that the master had done something unreliable... But what could he do?
Do you stand up and accuse Master?
He doesn't have the courage.
He always smiles and has a big belly... Everyone in the world thinks this is because he came from the East and the Buddha has a broad mind, but he is the only one who knows that there is nothing he can do about it.
Maitreya is a serious student of Buddhism, but there is always a huge gap between his own learning of Buddhism and his master's practice... The second junior brother is right, Buddhism is hypocritical.
Therefore, when I turned into a beggar, it was not that he and the Tathagata Many Treasures were competing for the position of the Lord of the Spiritual Mountain, because Upaladha Buddha also knew that his ignorant great disciple was full of pessimism. He was under the hands of the Tathagata Many Treasures.
, there is no chance of winning.
When Tripitaka was traveling to the west, rumors arose that Tathagata Buddha in Lingshan would pass on the position of Lord of Lingshan to Tripitaka. However, the Buddha from the east simply retreated and did not want to compete with Tripitaka.
.
That's because he also feels that Tripitaka's Buddhism is what Buddhism should be like.
Therefore, it was the Glazed Medicine Master Buddha who was constantly attacking Tripitaka in the Main Hall.
As for Maitreya Buddha, he would only be happy because Master Tripitaka's "The Theory of Perfect Consciousness" inherited the essence of his yoga sect.
Even when I learned that Master Sanzang was unwilling to stay in Lingshan and would not accept the promotion of the great position of Lingshan, I was still a little disappointed... But soon came the news that Master Sanzang had established the consciousness-only teaching in Chang'an.
, this is the blessing of Buddhism, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to be present, but only asked someone to send a congratulatory gift.
Many good people believe that Maitreya and Tathagata have the same power as fire and water, but both Maitreya and Tathagata know very well that they are just pawns in the general trend of the three realms. Under such circumstances, why bother targeting each other and causing trouble?
?
However, in order to satisfy the restless hearts of the world, the two of them will also have tacit understanding to engage in some Buddhist debates.
And the final result is often -
"Maitreya: This is how Buddhism should be.
Tathagata: I am the Buddha."
To put an end to it with words like that.
Maitreya Buddha didn't fight back then, and he certainly doesn't fight for it today... In his opinion, the position of Buddha should be Kinnara.
Now I am a little worried about the third junior brother, because the third junior brother, the pharmacist, and the second junior brother, Kinnara, have never dealt with each other. It should be said that the third junior brother, the pharmacist, is not convinced by the second junior brother, Kinnara.
It was precisely for this reason that the third junior brother often followed him around and encouraged him to deal with the second junior brother. Fortunately for him, he was not moved by the third junior brother's words, otherwise civil strife would have broken out within Lingshan.
Kinnara still has to respect his senior brother... After all, Maitreya Buddha's Dharma cannot be faked, and he and those who often stay in the Pure Land and do not come out, or "squeeze" the Pure Land without restrictions
The Buddhas among the people are different from the Bodhisattvas. They still often travel around the mortal world.
The world often talks about the Great Merciful and Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is only Great Compassion, while Great Compassion is Maitreya Bodhisattva, that is, Maitreya Buddha.
...
Kunlun Mountains.
"The latest information." The six-eared macaque moved its ears and looked at Erlang Zhenjun, "The future Buddha Maitreya recognized the identity of the Lord of Wutian Buddha's Lingshan Mountain, but the Medicine Buddha of the Glazed Pure Land did not obey... The Seven Medicine Buddhas are here
Under Wutian's persecution, he died, and Medicine Buddha was captured alive by Wutian Buddha...The entire Pure Land of Glazed Lazuli was moved to Lingshan Mountain."
Yang Jian rubbed his forehead, "I didn't expect that this Wutian Buddha was quite capable. In just half a month, he conquered two pure lands... Buddhism is a loose sand after all, and sooner or later it will be broken down one by one."
"Under Wutian's severe attack, many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism have passed away and passed away, including the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng." Nezha curled his lips, "What do you think he is trying to do...
The deputy leader of the teaching was improper and insisted on becoming a traitor and going to teach in the West. In the end, he just became a past Buddha... This great calamity had just come, and he passed away..."
Nezha looked like he was gloating about others' misfortune, and even more unscrupulously arranged the lighting of the ancient Buddha.
"Brother, be careful what you say." Erlang Zhenjun still needs to be more prudent, "After all, he is a powerful senior."
For Nezha, the second brother's words were still useful. Then Nezha looked at the six-eared macaque and asked, "Is there any other interesting news?"
"There is not much interesting news, but there are quite a few that are worthy of attention." The six-eared macaque first sorted out the news he heard in his mind, and then said to everyone: "Wutian compiled the monsters he brought out from the devil world.
He joined the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons, filled the empty spiritual mountain with monks from the two Pure Lands, and rebuilt the Temple of Discipline, the head of which is Maitreya."
hiss--!
What does he want to do?
Do you really want to clear your name?
"The master's demonic nature was drawn out by the will of the demonic world in the demonic world. Currently, the demonic nature is the dominant one in the demonic world. He is known as Lord Fahai. He has nominally replaced the positions of Fazu Kui Gang and Demonic Ancestor Wutian in the demonic world, thus leading the way.
Demonic world.”
Everyone knows more or less about this matter, but it has never been mentioned in the Kunlun Mountains... It is obviously due to the fear of the Tang Dynasty and the consciousness-only teachings.
But now that Liu-eared Macaque, the disciple, is talking about it, he can bring it to the table and say, "I wonder what the Holy Buddha's position is now?"
"Three realms." The six-eared macaque replied matter-of-factly. After a short pause, he emphasized again, "Datang."
The gods nodded repeatedly, which is the style of Tripitaka Buddha.
At first, they were quite worried when they learned that Sanzang was demonized in the demon world... It would already be very troublesome to deal with Demon Ancestor Wutian and Patriarch Kuigang. If there was also Sanzang Saint Buddha who had become a demon.
.. Then I really don’t know which way the balance of victory is going to tilt.
But those who are really familiar with Tripitaka Buddha will not worry about this matter... Just like Yang Jian, when he knew that Tripitaka Holy Buddha was acting in the demon world in demonic form, he knew that this catastrophe was safe.
The Three Realms are already in an invincible position.
