After Xiang Que came to the West, it was impossible to know the secret of how Lingshan could overcome the tribulation overnight.
After all, he would not be able to go to Lingshan to inquire with great fanfare.
Although Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara have a different relationship with him, after all, he and the four great Bodhisattvas are not really people in the same camp, so Xiang Que cannot reveal his own background to them casually.
If this is known by the old Tathagata, it will be more than worth the effort.
Xiang Que planned to stay in the Pure Land of the West during this period and just take a look.
Anyway, there is no big deal for him in the fairy world today.
Although the collapse of the immortal world is about to come, a very strange rule appears at this time, that is, the closer the collapse is, the more peaceful the various immortal gates are, because no one will worry about it at this time.
All things, grudges, love and hatred are put aside.
The major matter of life and death has not been resolved yet. If you want to consider other things, how big is your experience?
Xiang Que settled down and turned himself into an ordinary group in the Pure Land of the West. His realm was not high, and he was just an ordinary person, and then he crawled and watched.
As long as he reveals his identity without much fanfare, no one can see his clues, because there are many people like him who do nothing and wander around in the West.
This type of people do nothing on weekdays, and only focus on Buddha. Apart from begging for alms everywhere, they are not just chanting scriptures and meditating, turning a blind eye to things outside the window, and only wanting to become Buddhas. Moreover, these people don’t care about their clothes, and they don’t have any brides.
Follow others.
"Actually, this place is also good, at least it's not that tiring to live. It's also good to be simple and have no worries..."
Xiangque discovered that at least 80% of the people in the Pure Land of the West are from the Salted Fish School. Apart from believing in Buddhism, worshipping Buddha and worshiping Buddha, they will not consider anything at all.
Just like the small group of people in modern society, they do not have the pressure to mortgage, car loans and educate their children, and then realize financial freedom. What are the worries you have?
Xiangque wandered around the West for some days. Every day, the sound of chanting scriptures was the most common in his ears. The most common ones were the monks wearing cassocks with their hands folded together. The ones he saw were all from Amitabha Buddha when he opened his mouth and shut up.
Moreover, the most painful time of the day is morning and evening. During these two periods, the entire Western Paradise may be filled with movements of various scriptures.
"Hispanic Buddhism!" The last time, when Xiang Que came to the West as a little grasshopper, he already knew this.
People in the Pure Land of the West believe in Hinayana Buddhism, not Mahayana.
This is the same as the situation in modern society.
The Hinayana basically maintained the teachings of Sakyamuni, focusing on ethical teachings, and only took the Buddha as the teacher rather than the god, and did not worship idols; the Mahayana accepted the thoughts of heretics, corrected the teachings of Sakyamuni, and took the Buddha as the god.
There are different incarnations and boundless magic powers, promoting magical powers, creating various idols to worship.
The Hinayana advocates that sentient beings save themselves, and that everyone can enter Nirvana through practice of Taoism, but not everyone can become a Buddha; the Mahayana advocates that not only one should save themselves, but also others, and believes that as long as you believe in devoutly, everyone can become a Buddha.
The popular explanation is that Hinayana thinks that at the end of the practice, only a small group of people are Buddhas, while Mahayana thinks that as long as you believe in it, anyone can become a Buddha. The former is narrower and the latter is broader.
In fact, the two are not in conflict, they are just different definitions.
But one day, Xiangque felt that although Hinayana and Mahayana do not conflict, it was because there was only Hinayana but no Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Paradise.
What if there is?
What if the content of this thought that the old Tathagata has always implemented is questioned?
Is this equivalent to slapping Tathagata hard and then printing a five-finger mountain on his face?
This is a very exciting thing to think about.
So Xiang Que continued to wander around, looking for an opportunity to stab the cold one.
Until several days later, he met a venerable who was preaching under a Bodhi tree.
It was very sunny that day, the weather was nice, the sun was bright, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the west was not shrouded in the haze of the collapse of the fairy world.
In a remote city, under a Bodhi tree in a certain street, a bare-body venerable was raising one hand to preach and chanting the Buddha's name to dozens of believers in front of him.
Xiang Que was shirtless, wearing a dirty gauze skirt and barefoot, came to the back of the crowd, and then raised his ears to listen to the old Venerable preaching.
After listening for a while, he found that the other party was talking about the definition of Hinayana Buddhism, which is considered a relatively introductory Buddhist knowledge.
Of course, there is no Hinayana preaching in this place, so believers all think that this is the Buddha they define in their hearts.
If you should say it, this venerable person is still very handsome. His bare half of his body has clear edges and a bronze color. The impact is not proportional to his age.
Maybe it is because the Buddhist practice is quite good. When you first look at him, you will feel that there seems to be a faint golden light floating all over the person. This is definitely a master who has reached the top of the Venerable Realm, and he is also a wise man who has reached the top of his priesthood.
Que also saw that his cultivation level was at least in the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.
The old Venerable was still talking about the sutras, with a solemn appearance and solemn appearance, and looked unique in style.
Xiang Que blinked and stared at the other party. He was thinking about how he could break the other party's golden body?
In fact, if Xiang Que is placed in the Pure Land of the West, it will definitely be no less than throwing a nuclear bomb on this land.
But you have to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise you may have to reveal it.
"I hope that Tathagata is busy with other things now and has no time to pay attention to these small things in the West. Otherwise, if he knows it, this guy will easily know who is behind the scenes and calculations!"
The reason why Xiang Que dared to be so bold is because in this extraordinary period, he felt that although the West seems calm, the big men on Lingshan must be very busy.
"Cough cough..." Xiang Que blinked his eyes, put his hands together and suddenly pronounced the Buddha's name, then interrupted the old Venerable and said, "Master, I feel very painful. Can you help me solve my doubts? Otherwise, I
All are going to be depressed.”
“What is depression?”
"Just getting stubborn..."
The old master's eyes flew over everyone, fell on Xiang Que's body, and asked softly: "Why is the little master in pain?"
Xiang Que looked at him seriously and said, "I have been practicing for nearly a hundred years since I was a child, but after practicing, I found that there was no progress. The Dharma is not profound and my cultivation is not high. I want to become a Buddha, but I find that there is nothing at all.
Opportunity, Master, do you think I can avoid suffering?"
