Xiang Que felt that if he could really mess up the pure land of Xitian, his title as the number one troublemaker in the fairy world would undoubtedly be taken to a higher level.
He thought of this, but he didn't expect that what he did would happen so quickly and the effect would be so obvious.
He obviously underestimated the consequences of his remarks with the old venerable.
Because in the past, the western sky was just a piece of iron plate that was tightly joined together. There was only one voice in the entire sky, and that was belief in Lingshan.
However, Xiang Que suddenly threw Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism together, which was equivalent to shooting a bullet on the iron plate and punching through it.
When there is only one voice in the whole world, it seems to be very solid, but in fact it is not, because once another voice appears at this time, it is easy for people to have doubts, especially when there is something solid behind this voice.
evidence!
What is conclusive evidence?
This is what Xiang Que said, since we believe in Buddha and Buddha also said that all living beings are equal, then why is there only one Buddha and not us?
And no one can become Buddha!
Secondly, there was the golden body that Xiang Que showed before he left. Everyone thought that this was after he had understood the Mahayana Buddhism and that he had the capital to become a Buddha.
From this day on, cracks began to appear in the pure land of the West.
Xiang Que and the old venerable's talk about Buddhism spread to all directions in the western sky like flies with wings.
When it was first spread, the scope was very small, only in private, and then it was spread very covertly.
Because everyone realizes that saying this is actually treasonous.
Lingshan will be dissatisfied!
However, this kind of small-scale, private spread is also very scary. First, it was hidden from Lingshan, and then after it spread to the general public, no one stopped it, and the spread began to gradually expand.
In just a few days, people already knew that famous saying.
"Since the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, then why is there always only one Buddha..."
When this questioning voice spreads overwhelmingly, people who originally didn't believe it or sneered at it should start to think about it.
"It's a blessing that there is no Internet in the fairy world, otherwise it would only take one day, and everyone might know about it!" A few days later, Xiang Que, while walking in some remote towns in the West, had already begun to hear the news that day.
I heard the news about Buddhism and was really shocked.
This thing fermented really fast.
If this continues, it won't take a few years for it to spread throughout the entire Western Heaven.
What Xiang Que never expected was that the result would be like a storm, coming even more violently.
That is, after many days, an organization, or a sect, that believed in Mahayana Buddhism actually appeared behind the scenes in Xitian.
The creed of this organization is very simple. As long as our hearts are strong enough, everyone can become a Buddha. Everyone is a Buddha. If there is a Buddha in my heart, I am a Buddha!
The initiator and executor of this organization is the old venerable whose name is unknown to Xiang Que, as well as the previous believers who were watching.
This old venerable has become the spokesperson of Mahayana Buddhism. He walks alone in the Pure Land of the West and promotes Mahayana theory.
Someone once advised him: "If you do this, Lingshan will be dissatisfied with you and you will die."
The old venerable replied seriously: "Will Lingshan send someone to kill me? If I am really killed, it will further prove that Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism should exist together. Mahayana is right. I will die
It’s just because some people don’t want Mahayana Buddhism to appear! Since they don’t want Mahayana Buddhism to appear in the world, it means that they must have deliberately suppressed Mahayana Buddhism.”
"Besides, it doesn't matter if I die, at least I have proved the Mahayana Buddhism, and the Mahayana teachings have begun to spread... They are afraid!"
I have to say that this old venerable's thoughts are already over the top, but what he said is not wrong.
The people in Lingshan did not dare to come down to kill him. If he died, the effect would be much more terrifying than if he were alive.
After the theories of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism had spread in the West for several months, Lingshan finally learned about it.
After all, small-scale, private communication cannot always be concealed. Over time, it will spread to Lingshan sooner or later.
When the people in Lingshan learned the news, it can be imagined that they were extremely shocked.
First of all, most people think this is incredible. Oh my god, isn’t this treasonous? When did anyone dare to question the Buddha?
But the fact is that this thing really happened.
Lingshan, Leiyin Temple.
The image of the Tathagata appeared, and below were a group of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, venerables and Arhats.
This may be the most complete appearance of various masters in Lingshan in thousands of years.
Even Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared.
The three great Bodhisattvas frowned deeply, and the expressions on their faces looked very strange and weird.
The Tathagata didn't see any reaction, but the fact that he showed up under such circumstances except on the Buddha's birthday is enough to show how much he attaches importance to it.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, we should suppress these pagans who appear in the Western Heaven. They are blaspheming the Buddha..." Sunlight Bodhisattva said in a sonorous tone.
"Yes, please give me a decree from the Buddha!" Below, many people began to cry out.
In Leiyin Temple, the main discussion this time was about the problems that arise in Mahayana Buddhism. Almost 80% of the people felt that Tathagata should issue an order to kill those who promote Mahayana and return the sky to a clear sky in the west.
Another 10% of the people hold opposing opinions. They feel that even if they kill the people who promote Mahayana Buddhism, the matter has already spread. Doing so will undoubtedly be equivalent to three hundred taels of silver in this place. They cannot kill, but only
Only if the concept of Hinayana Buddhism can suppress the teachings of Mahayana.
There are still 10% of people who have not spoken out.
No one can tell what Tathagata is thinking.
He only said one sentence.
"The time has not come..."
The meeting held in Leiyin Temple ended quickly, as if it had been a lonely meeting, because there was no result from the discussion.
When the meeting ended, many people left in a hurry, and then gathered together in twos and threes, muttering in private.
At this time, Wenyuan Bodhisattva suddenly received a message in his head.
"You come out quietly. It's best not to be discovered. I'll be waiting for you under Lingshan Mountain!"
Wenyuan Bodhisattva was suddenly shocked. He immediately realized who was behind the appearance of Mahayana Buddhism.
Except for that person, no one else would be so bold.
