Eight hundred and thirtieth nine chapters under the rule of heaven
The remains of Ksitigarbha!
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?!" Maitreya Buddha's expression froze. This golden body of the great Bodhisattva who created the Great Perfection in the past is actually in the hands of Amitabha Buddha?
What about His Pure Land, which accommodates the remaining parts of the eighteen levels of hell and integrates the Buddhist authority to study the blissful world after death?
In the past, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish, vowing not to become a Buddha until hell is empty; similarly, the rewards he received were beyond imagination, and the great perfection of creation was comparable to the most amazing scene on the other side at that time
batch of people
He not only took control of the eighteen levels of hell, but also integrated them with the paradise world after death and integrated it into the pure land of the Buddha's kingdom. Unfortunately, he could not survive the Lingshan catastrophe.
Thousands of Buddhas fell together and perished, and finally disappeared without a trace
"Namo Amitabha, it turns out that He was not lost in Lingshan Mountain at the beginning." The ancient Buddha of Deng Deng sighed softly and noticed a subtle difference.
It is absolutely impossible for the golden body and the pure land to be separated and scattered. The golden body is in the hands of Amitabha, and the pure land is naturally also there, but most of them have other arrangements.
The swastika symbol between the eyebrows of King Buddha of the World gradually lights up. His eyes waver between the golden body of Ksitigarbha and the Supreme Buddha for a moment, and a terrible thought suddenly arises in his heart.
The meaning of Amitabha's move seems a bit intriguing. Is he asking the Supreme Buddha to swallow the extinct golden body of Ksitigarbha?
Using this to bring Him another kind of perfection?
Are they too eager? If the Supreme Buddha returns to the other side, it will not be without harm to them...
Thoughts came and went, and he couldn't help but look at the golden Buddha sitting cross-legged. As the oldest being, could it be that he had foreseen something in the various futures he occupied? Otherwise, why would he have done such a thing?
"If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha."
As Ksitigarbha's golden body approached, the sound of solemn Zen chanting resounded, and two lines of blood and tears fell from the eyes of the Bodhisattva. There was a vague boundless roar, and a mantra was chanted.
Seeing this, the pure white Buddha suddenly bloomed with boundless light. It was so pure that it did not tolerate any impurities. It was so brilliant that even those with great supernatural powers could not look directly at it. He said in a low voice, "This is a false Buddha. Ksitigarbha should be swallowed up and merged into my body.
Become part of the true Buddha."
In the center of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West, Amitabha Buddha sits on a twelve-pin blue lotus pedestal. His golden body is six feet long, and the Buddha's light is perfect.
With a compassionate look on his face, He looked at the Supreme True Buddha, thinking of all the changes he had experienced in the past, the vague attitudes of the remaining people on the other side, and the Jade Emperor who accepted Ksitigarbha's Pure Land, and smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist.
You should understand what I mean."
The Supreme True Buddha is not a chaotic and crazy person like the monsters of heaven. He is just extreme and his spiritual intelligence is not shallow. Hearing the words, one thought after another flashed through his mind, and he gradually calmed down the twisted color of his body.
His forty Buddha teeth were slightly opened, and he said solemnly, "Okay, you should also know my needs."
"Hahaha, poor monk, it's natural for me to realize that this Ksitigarbha's golden body is enough to temporarily complement your state and step into a higher rank; but if you want to be truly transcendent, you will eventually need to obtain the relics of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha. The two are combined into one, but
This thing is in the hands of the Golden Mother, and if you want to get it, you still need some twists and turns."
Amitabha Buddha's smile is still compassionate, but in that imperceptible darkness, the Buddha's light flowing in Ksitigarbha's golden body is unconsciously dyed with a touch of green color, as if it has existed since the distant past, and it should be like this.
To seek skin from a tiger, one naturally has a backup plan, not to mention that for Him, this is not a tiger, it is just a preparation to deal with the ambiguous attitude of other shores.
"Yes, Tantan Merit Buddha, he is also a false Buddha and must be accepted." After hearing this, the pure light that does not contain impurities around the Supreme Buddha shook violently, bringing waves of light deep in the Western Paradise World.
He closed his hands, and when he poked them out, a big mouth had grown out of each of them. The forty Buddha's teeth inside curled up and stretched out, and slowly attached to Ksitigarbha King Jin's body, connecting it with his body and shrouding it in pure white light.
Seeing this scene, Maitreya and Ran Deng both sighed softly and recited "Namo Amitabha" in a low voice.
"What happened? Amitabha took action to cover it up. Did he notice my prying eyes, or was he just guarding against other people on the other side?" In the past, Venerable Ananda in the Pure Land was not so transparent, and his eyes were filled with soft green gold.
Color, nothing can be seen
It is impossible to know what happened in the Western Paradise. It seems that Ran Deng also deliberately obscured the causal connection, leaving him in a state of temporary ignorance.
After a while, his expression calmed down, he was neither happy nor angry, and he made up his mind about what he was going to do when Ran Deng returned.
On the lotus platform, the golden Buddha's gaze remains unchanged, still distant and peaceful, as if he is looking back at the past and looking towards the future. Scenes are presented in his eyes, heading towards the destiny.
"The Supreme True Buddha, like the Sandalwood Buddha of Merit and Virtue, is the remnant of the Buddha's reduction and pursuit of emptiness. You may be able to confirm something in your body."
Thoughts rise and fall, although the Supreme Buddha's words of "the only Buddha" are extreme and terrifying, they can be found in the Buddhist scriptures.
The Buddha once said, "All Buddhas have the same Dharma body." The golden bodies of all Buddhas in the three realms and ten directions are different manifestations of this unique pure Dharma body, and this unique pure Dharma body is called Vairocana Buddha. Of course, in the supreme true Buddha
Before his birth, Vairocana Buddha was closer to the conceptual title
In fact, it is the "Qiang Ji Dao" mentioned by the Taoist sect, which is the root of everything. Therefore, the Buddha's words can be understood to mean that all Buddhas have the same root, and they all seek the Tao and achieve "Vairocana Buddha".
But as soon as the Supreme True Buddha came into the world, he claimed that he was Vairochana Buddha and the only true Buddha. When the "Tao" became reality, things began to be scary and terrifying for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and they became the Supreme True Buddha.
The Buddha's qualifications are to feed the 'Tao' with one's body.
In the Bodhi Pure Land, Taoist Zhunti leaned against the Seven Treasures Tree, with the same smile on his face, but a little less indifferent and a little more profound.
He looked in the distance toward the Western Paradise, and it became increasingly difficult to fathom.
At the same time, at the top of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, where is the shortcut
Wang Teng in this world slowly opened his eyes, and boundless light bloomed in front of him
In the void, a sparkling long river washed out, with countless tributaries, and so many dead people. The glory of the past was all buried in the upper reaches, like a lost underwater city.
On the upper reaches of the long river, a time-negative existence waved his hand, and a touch of Buddha's light penetrated through time and space and appeared in Wang Teng's palm.
"Ksitigarbha Pure Land, Amitabha Buddha is really willing to give up." His thoughts swept across the entire majestic Pure Land. The authority and material contained therein are indeed of great benefit to the earth. It is also a great supplement to the incarnation of the Bodhisattva and the Enlightenment Saint Buddha. It is enough.
Go further
But the most important point, and the point that attracted Wang Teng's attention, is that the golden body of Ksitigarbha that should exist in the Pure Land is missing. This thing is also an incredible creation for Buddhist practitioners. The golden body dominates the Pure Land and gives rise to the Buddhist kingdom.
, has always been the case.
"That's all, we will know when we look back on the Heavenly Emperor's Stone Tablet and trace the imprint of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the past." He stopped his thoughts and did not rush to refine this pure land. Instead, he set his sights on the real world.
"The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Water Ancestor, has died, and it is time for the Heavenly Water God to return to his throne."
The meaningful words echoed, causing faint ripples and spreading to the real world.
Hooray!
Dark clouds hung overhead, the wind howled, the waves were hundreds of feet high, and streaks of lightning filled the sky, illuminating the darkness.
In such extreme weather, not only sea ships dare not sail, but even those who are strong in outdoor scenes are reluctant to fly away. After all, if you are not careful, you may be struck by lightning, and you will be punished without disaster.
Under the rule of the Heavenly Court, on the border of the Zhou Dynasty, at the border between overseas and domestic areas, a large number of people suddenly gathered in a new family called the Tan family, as if they were extremely anxious, waiting for something.
Today is the day when the master’s son is born, but I don’t know if he is a young master or a young lady?
As the head of the Tan family, Tan Tongjun paced back and forth, waiting for the sound from behind the screen. At this time, the wind and rain were coming outside, just like the unrest in his heart.
Boom!
At this moment, a pure blue sacred thunder struck down, lighting up the sky, and vaguely revealed the shadow of a god surrounded by black dragons, briefly dispersing the darkness.
Wow ah ah ah!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a baby crying came to mind, and in an instant, the room was filled with red light, reaching straight into the sky, covering the entire East China Sea in bright colors.
"The sky shows a strange phenomenon!" The people of the Tan family have long been stunned. Could it be that the heir of the family head has some great background to cause such a strange phenomenon to appear in the world?
At the same time, at the infinite heights, the Western Paradise, the Pure Land of Bodhi, the Vacuum Hometown, the Demon Emperor's Palace, and the Heavenly Court, all have vast eyes descending upon them.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, we have a direct lineage!" Amidst the bursts of red light, a baby boy was carried out. He was white and tender, with a flash of aqua blue light between his eyebrows. He was so attractive.
Tan Tongjun took the child and was extremely excited. He laughed with bursts of joy, "Okay, okay, my son is indeed extraordinary. There is a successor to my Tan family!"
Just as he was celebrating, the servant outside the door hurriedly rushed in and said with a hint of horror and confusion, "Master, Master, there is a monk outside the door asking for alms. He looks like the things in the temple.
There is no difference between Buddha and Buddha!"
Buddha from the east? Lord of the Buddhist kingdom on earth, Maitreya Buddha?
Tan Tongjun was stunned for a moment. Is this a person with great supernatural powers coming to his door?
"Master, Master, it's not good, the envoy from Vacuum Hometown, Vacuum Hometown, has also arrived and is confronting the monk!" Immediately afterwards, another servant ran over panting, with a look of confusion on his face.
After staying for a moment, Tan Tongjun glanced left and right, staring at the two servants and counting, and then said to himself, "Could it be a fake?"
He was a little confused for a moment. It was difficult to distinguish between surprise and joy, and he was mostly in a state of panic.
These are all big figures from a big power. They are all legendary creators with great supernatural powers. They are transcendent beings who do not follow the earthly world.
Why are they all here today? Is it because of this child who came into the world with a vision?
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the world. The poor monk is so arrogant. Please don't be surprised. I am passing by at the right time, but I see a strange phenomenon in the sky. The red sun is setting in the west, and I am entering the land of the West. I think it is destined to be associated with our Western Buddhism.
Although the little benefactor is just born, he already has deep roots of wisdom and is destined to my Buddhist sect. I wonder if he is willing to follow me and practice Buddhism?" At this moment, laughter suddenly echoed, and a monk with a fat head, big ears, and a belly who often laughed appeared on the scene.
middle
He put his hands together and saluted Tan Tongjun, showing a smile.
"It's really the Buddha who came from the east! Do you want to accept my son as a disciple by practicing Buddhism?" Tan Tongjun was ecstatic at first, but then his thoughts came to him and he glanced back at the thrones of the heavenly gods enshrined in the depths of his home, and then said a little.
Calm down
I am a subject of the Zhou Dynasty, a common people under the rule of heaven, and the relationship with the Buddhist kingdom on earth is really not that good. Although this Maitreya Buddha has a respected status, another boy has said before that the divine envoys from Vacuum Hometown have also arrived.
to confront him
Since it can attract the attention of such a big shot, it has proved that my child is different. Instead of dealing with such "outsiders" with unknown origins and shady identities, it is better to serve the Zhou Dynasty, and there is no chance of entering the heaven...
"Oh, Maitreya, don't show off your bluffing skills here. The red sun is setting in the west, going straight into the Buddhist gate in the far west. This is clearly a vision of the red sun filling the sky. Don't you worry that these words will be found by the Sun God Lord?
Come to discuss the truth? He is not a good-tempered person."
At this moment, a sneer sounded, and an immortal figure in ancient robes and a crown appeared in the field. His long-sleeved robe was looking at Tan Tongjun with a smile, without even looking at Maitreya.
"This divine envoy is very face-to-face, I don't know who he is, but if he can confront the Buddha from the east, he must be of great status." Tan Tongjun returned the greeting cautiously. The relationship between Vacuum Hometown and the Zhou Dynasty is now better than that of the Buddhist Kingdom on earth.
A lot, so he also relaxed a little
Maitreya listened to the visitor's words, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat. He had already mastered this skill.
However, when he heard Tan Tongjun's thoughts, his natural and easy-going smile became a little unbearable.
Since his debut, this is the first time that he has been labeled as an outsider with "unknown origin" and "incorrect identity" by ordinary people.
Even the priority of recruiting disciples yourself is not as high as serving the Zhou Dynasty yourself??? Heaven may not be willing to accept you!
To give up the unknown status of Buddha’s disciples from the east just for a vague idea, the cohesion between Heaven and Zhou Dynasty is too strong...
"Namo Amitabha, God has made a mistake in saying this. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is the law of heaven. Our Buddhist sect is naturally in line with the general trend, so why not?" Maitreya announced the Buddha's name in a low voice, his expression as usual.
I became more determined in my heart to accept a disciple.
"Master Tan, don't worry about this monk. As far as I can see, this boy is born very smart. To worship Buddhism is actually a secret decision. It would be better to be introduced to a poor Taoist sect, no matter what." The envoy is obviously smart, not mentioning his hometown, but only
The purpose of mentioning oneself is to reduce Tan Tongjun's defensive mentality
When I accept a disciple, I only represent myself, not my hometown. Even the Zhou Dynasty will not be hostile, so I will say nothing.
Tan Tongjun's expression softened slightly, but he did not make a decision easily. He just held his child's hand tighter.
Immediately afterwards, the monks refused to give in to each other, and they all started to debate. There were frequent ways of belittling the enemy and exalting oneself in their words, but there was no use or temptation to deceive them.
Because this is the Zhou Dynasty, under the rule of Heaven, and the land of the emperor
Even those who have great supernatural powers must obey the rules when they come in; the fall of the Black Heavenly Emperor of the False Other Side is a lesson learned from the past, so the two only compete in words and never demonstrate their skills.
The two young men on the side have been stunned for a long time, and they wish they could take their place and become the 'disciple' that the two great masters of creation are competing for.
This kind of good thing can be praised for a lifetime, and it is rare to see it in ten thousand years!
Just as Maitreya and the divine messenger were engaging in a heated exchange of words, an arrogant voice descended from the sky, suddenly interjecting between the two, suppressing all words.
"My lord, the Jade Emperor, is above. Below the Emperor of Heaven, when will it be your turn to make the decision?"
