Venerable Jing Ping picked up the treasure vase fragments with trembling hands and looked at the conspicuous golden characters on them. His heart was shocked beyond measure.
Although he is not sure yet, Venerable Jing Ping has vaguely noticed that the words on these fragments should be related to the Lankavatara Sutra.
This is because Venerable Jing Ping has studied the incomplete Lankavatara Sutra and has understood its mysteries.
And at this moment.
Venerable Jing Ping looked at the words on the fragments of the treasure vase. The Buddhist power in his body was faintly boiling, and a very special brilliance appeared in his eyes.
This alone is enough to prove that the words appearing on the fragments are closely related to the Lankavatara Sutra.
With his hands trembling, Venerable Jing Ping quickly squatted down and began to arrange the fragments in the order of the text.
While arranging, Venerable Jing Ping recited the Lankavatara Sutra.
Compare it with the incomplete Lankavatara Sutra that the Venerable Jingpin himself understood.
All of a sudden, I had a series of realizations in my mind.
The fragments were gradually arranged in an orderly manner by Venerable Jing Ping.
"At that time, the World-Honored One was in the crowd, stretched out his golden arms, rubbed Ananda's head, and informed Ananda and everyone..."
"Due to the Tathagata's thirty-two appearances, what will you see and who will be happy..."
"Such as the sound of the Dharma, I understand my heart, and it actually resides outside my body..."
unconsciously.
The fragments in front of Venerable Jingping have gradually been arranged clearly according to the order of the scriptures.
On the face of Venerable Jing Ping, two lines of tears also silently shed.
These are not tears of grief.
But I was so happy that I couldn't hold back my tears of joy.
"Lord Buddha! This poor monk... can be so lucky in this life to get a glimpse of the complete Lankavatara Sutra!!!"
"Amitabha! Amitabha! Amitabha!!!"
When the last fragment was put down, all the incomplete scriptures of the Lankavatara Sutra were already placed in front of the Venerable Jingpin.
Combined with the incomplete Lankavatara Sutra that the Venerable Jingpin himself knew, by combining the two with each other, the Venerable Jingpin has obtained the complete Lankavatara Sutra.
This is why Venerable Jingpin was so excited and happy.
He became the first monk in the history of Sacred Heart Temple to obtain the complete Lankavatara Sutra.
The first in ancient and modern times!
Venerable Jing Ping looked back at the gradually fading Buddha's light in the distance, smiled knowingly, and already understood.
That’s the direction of Enkoji Temple!
And this Buddha's light is exactly the same as the Buddha's light from the vase fragments.
Apparently, it was at Yuanguang Temple that the complete Lankavatara Sutra was published.
"Amitabha!"
Venerable Jing Ping bowed deeply to the distance.
this moment.
Venerable Jing Ping figured it all out.
In Buddhist terms, that is---he has enlightened!!!
Venerable Jingping had a very good understanding and was born with a predestined relationship with the Buddha. Otherwise, how could he have understood the incomplete Lankavatara Sutra before becoming the next abbot of the Sacred Heart Temple.
Everything that happened tonight was originally extremely bizarre to Venerable Jing Ping.
but now.
Venerable Jing Ping has figured it all out.
All of this must be the work of the master named Ye.
"This donor Ye must be the one who will save the Buddhist world that the future Buddha mentioned in the poor monk's dream!"
Regarding this point, the Venerable Jing Ping at this time can be said to be very certain.
No doubt at all.
"The vase was given by the future Buddha and guided the poor monk to find this donor."
"And Donor Ye also saw at a glance that the missing part of the Lankavatara Sutra was hidden in the vase, so he deliberately broke the vase in order to let the poor monk know the secret in the vase."
"Donor Ye, Donor Ye, you clearly knew everything, but you didn't tell the poor monk directly. Instead, you let the poor monk figure it out on his own."
"For such good intentions, this poor monk really deserves it!"
Venerable Jing Ping was filled with emotions and was full of admiration for Ye Qingyun.
I have had the vase for so many years, but I have never known the scriptures hidden in the vase.
And this donor Ye, just after meeting him for the first time, was able to penetrate the secrets that he had not touched for many years.
Let’s see each other!
I am nowhere near as good as Donor Ye!
"Amitabha, this missing scripture was obtained by the poor monk with the help of donor Ye. The poor monk will definitely keep this kind of kindness in his heart!"
"We must try our best to help Donor Ye and save the Buddhist world!"
"Even if it means risking the life of a poor monk, I won't hesitate!"
Venerable Jing Ping showed a determined look on his face, and there was even more resolute belief in his eyes.
As if inspired by the faith in Lord Jing Ping's heart, all the fragments were seen flying together.
Come together quickly.
in a blink.
The complete vase appears again.
It is difficult to see any cracks in it.
Complete as ever!
Glossy as new!
Venerable Jing Ping was moved and shed tears again.
"Is this also the kindness of Donor Ye?"
Although I don’t know if the recovery of this treasure vase is related to Ye Qingyun, it is undoubtedly a good thing for Venerable Jing Ping.
He has memorized all the scriptures on the vase fragments.
The vase was restored to its original state and was still the Buddhist treasure that Venerable Jing Ping relied on most.
Carrying the treasure vase, carrying the complete Lankavatara Sutra, and extremely firm faith.
Venerable Jingpin resolutely went to the Sacred Heart Temple.
He was born in the Sacred Heart Temple.
He is also recognized as the next abbot of Sacred Heart Temple.
But this time.
However, Venerable Jingpin wanted to change the Sacred Heart Temple in his own way.
...
Inside Yuanguang Temple.
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking the opening verse, he recited the Lankavatara Sutra.
The Lankavatara Sutra is quite long, and Ye Qingyun stumbled a bit when he recited it at first.
But as I carried it on my back, I gradually became more comfortable.
Even when I recited it, I felt a sense of rhythm inexplicably.
The five great Zen masters and Monk Tianjue were stunned for a moment.
However, although they did not understand it well, the Lankavatara Sutra alone was enough to change the five great Zen masters and Monk Tianjue.
The Buddha power in their bodies is gradually improving.
And the speed of improvement is quite fast.
Until Ye Qingyun finished reciting the last sentence of the Lankavatara Sutra.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The Buddhist power in the bodies of the five great Zen masters had grown to its limit, and breakthroughs occurred in no particular order.
The five people just woke up from a dream. Surprised, they quickly calmed down and channeled their Buddhist power.
Sit down together.
Monk Tianjue also quickly reached a breakthrough state and hurriedly meditated on the ground with his mind firmly focused.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyun immediately understood that it was because he had recited the entire Lankavatara Sutra.
"Good guy, is the Lankavatara Sutra so effective?"
Ye Qingyun secretly marveled.
For a moment.
Five great Zen masters made breakthroughs one after another.
The Buddha power in their bodies became extremely strong, and each of them reached new heights.
Buddhist monks have a very different state of practice than immortals.
In Buddhism, the vast majority of monks are in the eighth realm of ordinary cultivation.
The so-called eight realms of ordinary cultivation correspond to the mortal monks going from the realm of spiritual enlightenment to the realm of aspiration.
However, for monks who have cultivated the Eighth Realm, their strength is not as clear-cut as the realm, and will change according to their own Dharma and the state of the Buddha's mind.
Once enlightened, even a monk who has cultivated in the first realm may be able to exert the strength of an ordinary monk who has cultivated in the seventh or eighth realm.
This is also the special thing about Buddhist people.
Pay attention to understanding and pay more attention to a Buddhist heart.
Moreover, those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and so on in the Western Heaven Bliss often come down to earth to experience, and they have a great influence on the monks in the mortal world.
Once you break through the eight realms of ordinary cultivation, you will reach the Hinayana realm.
There are ten levels in the Shravaka Hinayana realm, and the first five levels are equivalent to the realm of earthly immortals.
The last five levels are comparable to immortals.
In the lower realm, there are very few monks who have broken through to the Shravaka Hinayana realm throughout the ages, and after the breakthrough, most of them have ascended to the third heaven of the Buddhist realm and no longer stay in the lower realm.
And above the sravaka Hinayana realm is the middle vehicle realm of Pratyekabuddha.
Like the Shravaka Hinayana state, the Pratyekabuddha state also has ten levels.
The first five levels are comparable to Xuanxian.
The last five levels can compete with the Golden Immortal.
The five great Zen masters were previously in the middle vehicle state of Pratyekabuddha, while the monk Tianjue was in the shravaka Hinayana state.
nowadays.
After listening to the complete Lankavatara Sutra, the five great Zen masters broke through their shackles on the spot.
Together we have entered a new realm - the Bodhi Mahayana realm!
This realm only has the ninth level.
The corresponding one is naturally the Taiyi Nine Heavens!
In other words, if the current cultivation level of the five great Zen masters were placed in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, they would be five genuine Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Monk Tianjue is a little worse. After all, he is far behind the five great Zen masters, and his own understanding is a bit poor.
Therefore, even if you listen to the complete Lankavatara Sutra, it is impossible to catch up with the five great Zen masters.
Today's Monk Tianjue is still in the middle realm of Pratyekabuddha, but he has reached the last five realms, which is comparable to the peak of Xuanxian.
"Amitabha!"
The five great Zen masters felt the changes in themselves, and they were all extremely moved at this moment.
"I never thought that we would reach the state of Bodhi!"
"This life is enough!"
"This is the mystery of the Lankavatara Sutra!"
...
The five great Zen masters couldn't help but look at Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun nodded with a smile.
"Thanks to Mr. Ye for your guidance, the five poor monks were able to break through."
The five of them saluted together and were truly convinced of Ye Qingyun.
Completely convinced.
He regarded Ye Qingyun as a more mysterious being than Wang Ergou, the reincarnation of Buddha.
Without Ye Qingyun, they wouldn't be where they are now.
The five great Zen masters find it difficult to repay this kindness and virtue in this lifetime.
"Ahem, I'm just lucky and happened to know the missing part of the Lankavatara Sutra."
Ye Qingyun said with a slight smile, without any intention of taking credit or being arrogant.
He didn't feel that he had any merit.
I don’t even think it’s because of myself that the five great Zen masters made breakthroughs.
It was purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse and filling in the missing parts of the Lankavatara Sutra that allowed the five great Zen masters and Monk Tianjue to make a breakthrough.
This is the effect of the complete Lankavatara Sutra, not the effect of someone like me.
Can't be confused!
Of course, this is what Ye Qingyun himself thinks.
As to whether it was due to the Lankavatara Sutra or Ye Qingyun himself, it is unclear.
The five great Zen masters have long been accustomed to Ye Qingyun's attitude. They understand in their hearts that this master has always been like this, and there is no need to say more.
Just keep the kindness of the master firmly in your heart.
"By the way, how strong are the five of you now? Are you comparable to Venerable White Snake?"
Ye Qingyun suddenly asked.
But I saw Zen Master Yunfeng smiling slightly.
"I dare not hide it from the master. Five poor monks join forces and can easily suppress the Lord White Snake."
"Among the remaining five great sages in the Sacred Heart Temple, except for the Venerable Jing Ping, the other four should be no match for the five poor monks."
Hearing this, Ye Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then what are you waiting for? Just copy me!"
"Go and demolish the Sacred Heart Temple! Destroy the Blood Guanyin statue!"
