Xiang Que felt for a moment whether he should drift off.
After entering the first small world in Mount Sumeru, the Cyclops recognized its master, and then quickly found the key. He only relied on a Dao Daotian Pill to reach the next small world, but he did not expect that,
When I met a monk from the West, he called me Buddha.
What rhythm is this?
Just bring it up at the beginning!
But Xiang Que's behavior was quite normal. He put his hands together respectfully, returned a salute to the other party and asked, "Master, where do you start talking about this?"
The old venerable looked at him with deep admiration and reverence in his eyes, and said: "The teachings about Mahayana Buddhism you left behind really gave us, all the sentient beings who are obsessed with Hinayana Buddhism, a chance to return from their lost ways, especially
This statement that all living beings can become Buddhas makes us realize that practicing Mahayana Buddhism should be the direction we should strive for throughout our lives!"
"So, from then on, believers in Mahayana Buddhism began to travel around to preach, using the theory that all living beings are equal and all living beings can become Buddhas to promote the essence of Mahayana Buddhism, and it didn't take long for them to gain a lot of resonance..."
Xiang Que said "Ah" and asked with a worried look on his face: "Then in the West, Tathagata Buddha does not restrain you? After all, there is a big difference between the two definitions of Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism."
The old venerable shook his head and said: "Why should we restrain ourselves? The Hinayana is to save oneself, and the Mahayana is to save others. I don't think there is any conflict. And...if the Tathagata is targeting us, it means that the Mahayana Buddhism has made them aware of the crisis.
"
At that time, when Xiang Que left Xitian, he also concluded that Tathagata would not kill or suppress Mahayana Buddhism. You can object, but you cannot strangle, because the more you do this, the more it will prove that Mahayana Buddhism has its significance.
, will shake the foundation of their Hinayana Buddhism.
Therefore, you must not kill them, unless the Mahayana Buddhism is still in its infancy and has not been preached.
But once it spreads, you can't do anything about it, after all, it will get people talking.
"This time we went to the three thousand small worlds in Mount Sumeru to preach. A total of 316 Mahayana disciples came, and they have already penetrated into each small world..."
Xiang Que swallowed his saliva immediately. There were quite a lot of people here, almost one-tenth of the number. But he also didn’t understand. You went to a space like Mount Sumeru that was isolated from the fairy world to spread the word.
What’s the point of achieving Buddhism?
Seemingly seeing Xiang Que's confusion, the old venerable explained: "The Buddha may not know that Mount Sumeru is a holy land of Buddhism. Many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have practiced here. Here we can get better results."
It is said that after cultivating these three thousand small worlds, you will have unexpected opportunities..."
Xiang Que rolled his eyes and asked, "Then you still know a lot about this?"
The old venerable said in a low voice: "Actually, this is my first time to enter Mount Sumeru, but I know that Mahayana Buddhism will not be rejected here, and it will be easily accepted."
"Huh? Why is that?"
The old venerable said: "Because back then, Tathagata Buddha came out from Mount Sumeru and led a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to the Western Heaven to open up the Pure Land!"
Xiang Que was stunned for a moment. If someone else had made this statement, it would be absolutely unbelievable, but he felt that it was more than 80% credible.
Because Xiang Que has been to Xitian and also seen another Great Leiyin Temple in Donghua Immortal Gate, and he also knows that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and others have different intentions from Tathagata, or even two paths at all, otherwise he would be imprisoned.
When he was in purgatory, those three people would not try their best to rescue him.
At least, in addition to Tathagata, there are several great Buddhas in Xitian who have never appeared before. Even people in Xitian and Lingshan do not know about them, such as Medicine Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and Lantern Buddha.
Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also have their own Xiao Jiujiu behind their backs, which explains the problem even more.
Xiang Que was always guessing what happened to Tathagata's second child. Even Emperor Dongyue thought that the current Tathagata might have been rebuilt by the previous Tathagata, or it might be a clone. The former Tathagata had already fallen.
Looking at it now, let’s not say whether he was a re-cultivator or not, but I didn’t expect that he actually came from Mount Sumeru. Moreover, not only him, but also Bodhisattvas like Sunlight and Moonlight, Wenyuan Bodhisattva and several other Buddhas followed him.
Went out together.
This news must be a big secret in the ancient fairy world.
A secret that even Dongyue and Queen Mother of the West don't know.
"Are you sure? How do you know?" Xiang Que couldn't help but asked.
The old venerable said: "After I came to this small world, I discussed Zen with a Bodhisattva here. At that time, I explained the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to him..."
"At that time, he felt that the teachings of the Mahayana were so amazing that it should be the path that I, the Buddha, pursue, so he joined us and told me some of the secrets of Mount Sumeru!"
"Fuck!" Xiang Que said.
The character of this old venerable is one of those who are single-minded and go all the way to the end. After he determined that Mahayana Buddhism was the truth that he wanted to pursue throughout his life, he took it as his own duty to preach, and he always devoted himself to teaching wherever he was.
He kept the word Mahayana on his lips.
Moreover, he came to Mount Sumeru to promote Mahayana Buddhism, so when he found that the monks in this small world were very respected, he immediately started his own action of spreading Buddhism without hesitation.
More importantly, people in this small world do not have an accurate definition of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. They only pursue cultivation, and it does not matter whether they are helping others or themselves.
The idea of transcending oneself in Hinayana Buddhism was proclaimed by Tathagata in the West, and it was a definition given to highlight that he was the highest Buddha in the world.
In this way, when the old venerable preached Mahayana Buddhism, many people in this small world recognized it, and his status suddenly rose. This time he came to this city from another city.
Come and continue to promote Buddhism.
Xiang Que feels that this old venerable is definitely a talent, he is so good at confusing people. He was born in the fairy world. If this were in the real world of his previous life, this person would definitely be a good candidate for communication. He is better than him.
I don’t know how much stronger it is to deceive people.
Moreover, this old venerable person looks very serious and has a kind face. You would never think that he could have evil intentions.
So the words that come out of his mouth will make you be led away involuntarily.
After Xiang Que understood this, he knew that his team could grow again, not to mention other places, at least in this small world.
However, Xiang Que did not fully trust the other party. The old venerable's credibility needed to be explored and confirmed again. Only when there were no more problems could he completely let down his guard.
After all, in the fairy world, there are quite a few places with pits of gods.
