In the entire Buddhist sect, there is no one more suitable to be a sutra seeker than Amitabha. Not to mention Jin Chanzi, not even Tathagata Buddha can compare with him.
Amitabha Buddha is the next supreme Buddha appointed by Jiang Chen. Buddhism will also prosper under his hands, and his status is unshakable.
Even if Jiang Chen is defeated by Tathagata Buddha and others hundreds of years later and is driven out of Lingshan, Amitabha's status will not be shaken.
He is destined to be the Supreme Buddha. This is the will of Buddhism. Unless Buddhism disappears, not even a saint can violate it.
And this is also the escape route Jiang Chen has prepared for himself. He must prepare for the worst in everything, what if he cannot defeat Tathagata Buddha.
At this time, Amitabha comes in handy. He is the successor of Buddhism and Jiang Chen's disciple. If Jiang Chen loses, he can regain the authority of Lingshan by supporting Amitabha to ascend to power.
This is his back-up plan. If nothing can be done, Amitabha is the key to his comeback.
The reason why Amitabha is made a Buddhist sutra seeker is to build momentum for him. With his ability to preach to the East, it will undoubtedly be easy for him to seize the authority of Buddhism.
Jiang Chen was already prepared that Amitabha would not be born before the Buddhist catastrophe. Otherwise, he would not have prepared a way out for himself.
However, if you want to make a comeback, it is not enough to be a Buddhist heir, you must become the Supreme Buddha.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said the Buddha's name again: "My Buddha is compassionate. Four hundred years later, Amitabha Buddha will become enlightened under the Bodhi tree, realize his true self, rebuild the Pure Land in the West, and become the new supreme Buddha."
As soon as Jiang Chen said these words, the Buddhist destiny was immediately sensed, rumbling and vibrating, and countless Buddha lights spewed out, generating golden Buddha words, suspended in the void.
Immediately, these golden Buddhist words suddenly gathered together and turned into a golden edict, which fell in front of the statue of Amitabha in the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.
This is an edict, an edict conferring Amitabha Buddha as the Supreme Being of Buddhism.
With this edict, four hundred years later, no matter who is the master of Lingshan, Buddhist destiny will spontaneously recognize Amitabha as the master and push him to the throne of Buddhism's supreme being.
The lessons learned from the future Buddha are there. How could Jiang Chen not take precautions and fix the time of Amitabha's succession first, lest Amitabha, the successor of the Buddhist sect, end up like Maitreya Buddha?
Future Buddha, future Buddha, this name is so good, the future comes after the future, there are so many futures, this future may never come.
Jiang Chen believed that if he did not set the time for Amitabha's succession to the throne, then after Tathagata Buddha came back to the throne, Amitabha, the heir, would really only be the heir for a lifetime.
Is there such a thing as a prince in the world?
"Hmph, with this edict, even if I lose to Tathagata Buddha in the great calamity a hundred years from now, it won't matter, because the final victory will definitely belong to me."
Looking at the edict that gradually returned to calm, Jiang Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile. With this edict, the future of Buddhism is his.
As for rejecting this edict, it would be like being an enemy of Buddhism's fate. When fate backfires, even the Tathagata Buddha will have a hard time.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's voice, all the sentient beings in the West knelt down on the ground again in excitement and kept making sounds of praise.
Although Jiang Chen said that the practice of kneeling down and worshiping is frowned upon in Buddhism, how can the countless years of tradition be changed in just a few words?
…
In the chaos outside the sky, Sage Zhunti looked at the appearance of Amitabha Buddha that suddenly appeared in the long river of time and space. He frowned secretly and said to the Sage Guiding beside him:
"Senior brother, what do you think of this move by the King of Freedom in the World? Isn't this using all my Buddhist power to strengthen his Shinto?"
"If he just borrowed the chicken to lay eggs, that would be fine, but it seems that his intention is obviously not satisfied with this. Not only does he want the eggs, he also wants to kill the chicken."
"How can anyone borrow a chicken to lay eggs, and after getting the eggs, go back and kill the chicken that laid the eggs?"
It was obvious that Saint Zhunti was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's actions.
Hearing Saint Zhunti's complaint, Saint Jieying's expression did not change, and he just said calmly: "Junior brother, you are obsessed with your appearance."
"Be it Buddha or God, they are just names. They are all virtual objects. What is there to care about?"
"The title is not important. What is important is whether he can help us realize our great wish. As long as he can realize our great wish, what will happen if he is called a devil?"
"Compared with our great wishes, everything is vain and cloudy. Even if we receive some infamy, it is nothing."
"Junior brother, you have become a little obsessed with foreign objects these years. Have you forgotten your past ambitions?"
Although the voice of the saint was calm, the words he said were extremely rude, especially the last sentence, which was simply an accusation against the saint.
But Saint Chunti was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he said with a learned expression: "What the senior brother said is that the junior brother is obsessed with appearance and should not pursue false fame."
The meaning of the existence of Buddhism is to help the Two Saints of the West fulfill their great aspirations. This means that Buddhism is not the only one. If the Two Saints of the West find a better one, they can replace it at any time.
Just like when Buddhism replaced Western religion.
"The King Buddha of this world is indeed a genius. He can think of a system like Shinto that is beneficial to heaven and earth. It is not an exaggeration to call him a great wise man."
After being humble, Saint Zhunti changed the topic and talked about Shinto.
Shinto can no longer be hidden. How powerful the saint is. Just the first time he saw Amitabha, he connected it with Shinto and instantly understood all the mysteries of Shinto.
Therefore, even if he is as strong as Saint Zhunti, he will not be stingy with his praise for Jiang Chen.
Shinto is indeed wonderful, but it cannot be transcended. Although it is beneficial to heaven and earth, it also makes it difficult for gods to be controlled by heaven and earth.
Without this shortcoming, Shinto would be a supreme avenue.
Unfortunately, Shinto cannot transcend.
This alone is enough for countless monks to abandon it like a pair of shoes.
All the ways in the world, such as immortals, demons, martial arts, Buddhas, etc., all have the ultimate goal of seeking transcendence, but the divine way does the opposite.
Those who strive for detachment will naturally dislike action.
"Let's see how Shinto is. Time will prove everything."
Sage Jieying did not comment on Sage Zhunti's evaluation. He became more and more devoid of desires. Nowadays, the only things that can make his mood fluctuate are his great aspirations.
…
…………
Jiang Chen didn't know what happened outside the sky, but he knew what Shinto couldn't hide. As soon as Amitabha was born, he knew that Shinto couldn't hide it.
However, it doesn't matter anymore, it has come to this point, and he has no intention of hiding it anymore.
Next, it’s time for the world to witness the greatness and incredibleness of Shinto, turning fiction into reality!
The Immortal Way is about refining the false and making it true, while the Divine Way is about turning the imaginary into reality.
On Lingshan Mountain, Jiang Chen clasped his hands together and made a loud voice: "I am the Buddha of Infinite Merits, the King of Freedom in the World, the King of Great Power and Virtue. Now I want to hold a water and land Dharma assembly on Lingshan to save the fallen Buddhas.
So that they can rest in peace.”
"All my Buddhist disciples who are sincere can go to Lingshan Mountain to chant sutras and pray for the Buddhas."
The moment the voice fell, hundreds of millions of Buddha lights fell from the sky above Lingshan Mountain, turning into passages that covered the entire Xiniu Hezhou.
There is also a part that extends beyond the Three Realms and into the heavens and the universe.
ps: Hell!
Someone was getting married in front of me, and now the trumpet in the village in the middle is also sounding. I don’t think about epidemic prevention and control, but it has been circulating for 2 hours.
The opera sound system is at the door of my house, and the speakers in the village are also at the door of our house. One is on the left and the other is on the right. When both of them sound at the same time, it is very exciting.
