Li Qiye's words immediately made Sumeru Buddha Emperor confused and said: "Good, good, Holy Master, my Pure Land has never bound any living being, and any living being can leave the Pure Land at any time."
"Can we leave?" Li Qiye smiled indifferently and said: "How can we leave if our mind is bound? It's just that your pure land is not as extreme as the Buddha Burial Plateau. In fact, the essence is the same. Those who are not my Buddha,
How can there be such bliss?"
Li Qiye looked at Sumeru Buddha Emperor and said: "Since it is about universal salvation for all sentient beings and everyone can reach the ultimate bliss, then why do they have to believe in you, the Buddha? Are all living beings not qualified to enjoy the ultimate bliss if they do not seek the Buddha?"
"Good, good." Hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but lower his eyebrows, and he shouted the name of Buddha.
"All living beings are equal." Finally, Emperor Xumi Buddha admitted.
Li Qiye smiled faintly and said leisurely: "Since all living beings are equal, whether they are Buddhists or non-Buddhists, shouldn't they all enjoy the ultimate happiness?"
"If it is not the Buddha's way, then it is not the Buddha's way, Holy Master." Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but say.
Li Qiye smiled and said leisurely: "The avenue is majestic and boundless. Don't those who don't believe in me not be able to practice Taoism? Everyone can practice the Taoism and participate in it, and they don't necessarily have to hear my name. What is called cultivating the Tao?
The difficulty, apart from the Taoist mind, is that everyone wants to monopolize it, and that is why there are gates and barriers to the great road."
"That's good, that's good." Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Why does the Holy Master have such a great wish to practice Taoism?"
"You don't have to cultivate." Li Qiye smiled and said: "Being a mortal, all living beings can see the true self, and just live honestly in the world without wronging this life. This is also the ultimate happiness."
Speaking of this, Li Qiye said with a smile: "So, the ultimate happiness for all living beings is not to enter your Buddha, nor to enter my path, but to sincerely seek me and not wrong this life, then you can achieve ultimate happiness."
"How can we seek truthfulness in a difficult world?" Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh and said leisurely: "What makes the world difficult? Does it mean that all suffering comes from heaven and earth?"
"What's the reason for that?" Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye smiled faintly and said: "The world is difficult, whether it is all living beings or monks in the world, all difficulties are because of what I want."
"What I want." After hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Xumi couldn't help but murmured.
"Then what should I do?" Emperor Sumeru Buddha couldn't help but murmured after pausing for a long time.
Li Qiye looked at Emperor Xumi Buddha and said with a smile: "Since we are seeing nature, why do we need to do whatever we want? Just be frank."
"Seeing the sincerity of one's nature is the true self." In this moment, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but realize.
"So, you can do what you should do." Li Qiye smiled meaningfully, looked at Emperor Xumi Buddha, and said leisurely: "You said that you can save all living beings. Among all living beings, you are the best.
How much can it achieve enlightenment?”
"Ten million?" Emperor Xumi couldn't help but said.
Li Qiye said with a smile: "What about the tens of millions? In these endless years, the number of tens of millions is just the number of sands in the Ganges River."
"That's true." After hearing what Li Qiye said, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but agree.
Li Qiye said leisurely: "If you want to save all sentient beings, then you will not be able to save them all in your lifetime. Even if you save all sentient beings in this life, who will save them in the next life? And the next life?"
"The Buddha Dharma is boundless and the Buddha's path is endless." Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but say with emotion.
Li Qiye smiled and said calmly: "Even if I agree with your Buddhism, even if I agree with you being ordinary sentient beings, the number of living beings you have crossed in this long river of time is only a handful. There are tens of millions.
Numbers, before billions and billions, were just a drop in the ocean."
"It's just a drop in the ocean." After hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just a drop in the ocean." Li Qiye couldn't help but look at the extremely distant starry sky and the endless Milky Way.
"If we want to save all sentient beings, what does the Holy Master think should be done?" Emperor Xufo couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye smiled and said leisurely: "I don't mean to belittle you, but have you ever thought that all the sentient beings you save will believe in you, and all the sentient beings will convert to Buddhism."
Speaking of this, Li Qiye pointed at the distant heaven and said: "You can cross the heaven, you can cross the giant behind it, you can cross the sky? Do you want to cross? What you think,
Who should I save? The emperors and gods? Or all living beings?"
Speaking of this, Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh and said: "Most of the time, the Buddhas you cross are just weaker than your Buddha, trying to make them believe in them. But, for those who are stronger than your Buddha, you
Can we make a transition? Can we think of a transition? Do we dare to think about it? Do we dare to do it? If I have to say it, wouldn’t it be bullying the weak and fearing the tough one?”
"The Holy Master said that those who are stronger do not necessarily need to go through suffering. Even if there is suffering, it is just self-created. Therefore, is it worth going through for the stronger one?" Emperor Xumi asked in return.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said: "Then, if a giant has its mouth open to feed on billions of living beings, and you, the Buddha, can reincarnate for thousands of lives, can you save hundreds of millions of living beings? If you, the Buddha, lead all living beings into bliss, then you only need to save them.
A giant can save hundreds of millions of living beings. The stronger ones he saves are not for the stronger ones, but for all living beings."
"To cross the giants is to cross hundreds of millions of living beings." Hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but feel shocked. At that moment, he saw the Buddha's light.
Li Qiye smiled and said: "If your Taoist heart is stronger, you will have a farther road and more things to do. All of these can be done. Of course, if you want to save all sentient beings, there is no problem.
."
Having said this, Li Qiye looked at Sumeru Buddha Emperor and said: "This way is just reincarnation in the human world. It is nothing more than repeating the same mistakes. After one life, there will be another life. This reincarnation will not stop. Have you ever thought about breaking this world?
Reincarnation.”
"Saving sentient beings, reincarnation." Emperor Xumi Buddha's heart was shocked. At this moment, he saw another world.
"So, if you are to save sentient beings from generation to generation, you are just following the path of your predecessors." Li Qiye smiled and said: "You old man in the Pure Land has been around for an era, but his Buddhist kingdom will finally
But what if you can save all sentient beings? In the end, you won’t even be able to save yourself.”
Hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but be entranced. At this moment, Emperor Xumi Buddha opened a window and saw a whole new world.
"Holy Master, please give me some advice." Finally, Emperor Xumi Buddha bowed down and asked Li Qiye for advice.
Li Qiye looked at the prostrate Buddha Emperor Xumi, and said slowly: "If your heart is firm and can't be moved forever, then you should do what you should do more. Go back and practice hard. The Buddha's way is far away, and the great road is far away.
The longer it is, the farther you can go on the longer road."
"What about further away?" Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye smiled and said leisurely: "Then why do you want to save sentient beings? Those who should be saved are not sentient beings. The world is difficult, but it is not the hardship caused by sentient beings. Because the world is difficult, but it binds all sentient beings, then
Isn't it putting the cart before the horse? It should be to tie up the difficulties."
"Disciple understands clearly -" At this time, Emperor Sumeru Buddha bowed his head, bowed to the ground, and said: "So, the Holy Master will kill the giant and fight against the sky."
"You think too much." Li Qiye smiled and shook his head slightly, saying: "I don't save sentient beings, nor do I save sentient beings. All sentient beings have themselves, so why do I need to save them, and why do I need to save them. I just ask for myself.
That’s all, this is the Tao.”
Having said this, Li Qiye looked at Sumeru Buddha Emperor and said meaningfully: "The one who saves the world often destroys the world. The one who saves all living beings usually binds all living beings."
"Those who save all living beings often restrain all living beings." At this time, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.
After a long time, Emperor Xumi Buddha came back to his senses and said: "Holy Master, can the road travel far?"
"The road can travel far." Li Qiye nodded gently and said: "Perhaps, more fun things are ahead, which is more fun than your journey to save sentient beings."
"Who is crossing?" Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but said.
Li Qiye said with a smile: "Then it's up to you. To save sentient beings, to save giants, to save oneself, it's all in your mind."
"I still have to practice." Emperor Xumi Buddha said.
Li Qiye smiled and said calmly: "To cross people, you have to cross yourself first. If you don't cross yourself, how can you cross others? So, if you want to cross, you have to cross yourself first.
The farther you go, the farther you can travel."
"Disciple is taught." Emperor Xumi Buddha paused.
Li Qiye smiled and said: "You old men from the Pure Land have always been ambitious and have the heart to transform, and you have never given up. However, in the end, you have not even finished it yourself. This road, you guys
If you want to go, you need to go far, far away.”
"Is it just the beginning?" At this time, Emperor Xumi Buddha couldn't help but say.
Li Qiye smiled faintly and said: "If we talk about crossing, then you are just at the beginning of your journey to save sentient beings. Except for this world of mortals, except for the countless living beings, there is nothing you can do
Apart from the bound mortals, who else have you Buddhas and Dao passed through in the endless years? Even the old men and their own eras have never exceeded this limit, and it only depends on their own three acres.
Among them."
At this point, he paused and said: "Of course, in terms of grand aspirations, what the old man and his friends did is also very remarkable, but the essence has not changed, whether it is a Buddhist or a secular person.
No matter what, there is no difference in essence, they are all among all living beings."
"Disciple understands." Emperor Xumi Buddha paused.
