Chapter 526: There is a shortage of the true scripture, and thousands of flowers will be hidden
There are thirty thousand dharmas in the world, but only the Tathagata Sutra is respected!
This is a widely circulated saying in Buddhism, and the "Tathagata Sutra" in it refers to the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra"!
As the enlightenment method of the first Great Sun Tathagata, the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" has the supreme status in both major Buddhist schools.
This time Daleiyin Temple selected Buddhist disciples, and they were willing to take out this Taoism... It really exceeded many people's expectations.
Feng Bingyao was puzzled: "The Tao is not taught to humans, and the Dharma is not taught to the six ears. Although I admire the magnanimity of Daleiyin Temple, it is difficult to understand this approach.
How could such a true story... be easily leaked?"
"The scriptures on the lotus platform are not long, just a small part. If you are not in line with this sect, you will not understand anything even if you read it." Tie Tang has already noticed.
Tianhong nodded: "Both of you are right, but the main reason... is because the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" is no longer complete.
It is a missing method in the first place. Even if it is spread out, no one can practice it."
"Incomplete?"
Tianhong typed a ban and explained softly: "About 600,000 years ago, a very terrifying rebellion occurred in Lingshan.
The complete "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" was therefore split into three volumes.
They are the general outline of the scriptures, the first volume of the Mahavairocana and the second volume of "The Dharma of the Tathagata".
Among them, the second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" was left in my Daleiyin Temple, while the first volume of "Dainichi Sutra" was stolen.
In the end, those people joined together and opened up a new Buddhist gate, which is the Shi Wuyan Temple!
The general outline of the scriptures was also lost in that chaos. Neither our Daleiyin Temple nor Shi Wuyan Temple could find the general outline.
The second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" currently displayed on the lotus platform is only a small part of the true sutra. Even if it is fully understood by others, it will not have much impact."
Tie Tang was keenly aware of the loopholes in Tianhong's rhetoric: "That's not right, is it? Did no one read the complete "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" before it was stolen?
If so, just ask him to copy it again."
"Not to mention how many World Honored Ones and Bodhisattvas died in that rebellion, the Sutra itself was indeed not seen by many disciples at that time.
At that time, the core of our sect was the three seventy-two apertures of the Lotus Tyrant Picture, the Ten Thousand Flowers Dharma Storehouse Sutra and the Bodhi Buddha Sutra.
As a Taoist tradition, the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" was difficult to integrate with the orthodox teachings of the time. There were very few people who could understand it.
In addition, this is the method of enlightenment for the first World Honored One, who has a high status and is not qualified to even take a look at it.
Moreover, the Buddhist teachings are profound and the mind of Zen is mysterious. The founder of the true scriptures is too old. Even if others imitate the true scriptures, they may not be able to contain all the true meanings.
Over time, due to various reasons, this tradition has actually been lost long ago."
Tie Tang and Feng Bingyao were both the founders of Taoism, so they nodded subconsciously after hearing this.
The main reason why the side sect is called side sect is that it is difficult to practice.
Unlike the orthodox path, it conforms to the practice path of most monks in the world.
It often takes tens of thousands of years for side sects to have a true inheritor.
As the first orthodox method in the world, the Shijue Hegemony was almost lost, let alone other orthodox traditions.
Whether it is the "Hui Meng Heart Sutra" created by Thirteenth Lang of Nanhai tens of thousands of years ago, or the "Xuanyin Life and Death Zha" created by Mo Xinxiang in ancient times, they are all extremely powerful and unique.
But these two methods have no descendants in the current world.
It’s not that they are not strong enough, it’s just that the requirements for cultivation are too stringent and they are easily lost.
This is the tragedy of the side sect!
Liu Xiangxiang sighed: "The first volume of the Mahavairocana Sutra fell into the hands of Shi Wuyan Temple. It seems that it is impossible to collect the real Mahavairocana Sutra." p>
Based on the current relationship between Daleiyin Temple and Shi Wuyan Temple, unless one party is extinct, the two volumes of scriptures will never see each other again.
"It doesn't matter." Tianhong was very open-minded: "Even if you collect the upper and lower volumes, it will be difficult to practice without the general outline of the scriptures.
To take a step back, even if someone collects all three volumes of scriptures and wants to understand the true scriptures, it will be extremely difficult.
According to the records in our sect, since the creation of the Dharma by the ancient Blessed One, only three Blessed Ones in later generations have been able to comprehend the true scriptures.
Two of them were disciples of the first World Honored One.
The complete method has existed for such a long time. I don’t know how many geniuses in Buddhism have understood it. In the end, there were only three of them. Strictly speaking, only one stood out.
Tell the truth.
In my opinion...the symbolic significance of this exercise is greater than the significance of its own existence."
A touch of reluctance and pity spread among the few people, and Tie Tang suddenly asked: "There should be more than one orthodoxy in Buddhism, right?"
Although it is extremely difficult to create a Taoist tradition, Buddhism has accumulated a lot of foundation over the years and there will definitely not be only one Taoist tradition such as the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra".
"Tiejun Shou's guess is not bad. There are other traditions in our sect. The specific ones are related to the secrets of the sect. It's hard to say easily."
Tian Wen was stunned and opened his mouth: "Ah? There are so many good things in the door, why haven't I seen them?
What does it mean?
Am I not a disciple of Daleiyin Temple?
No, I want to ask Master for clarification. I can’t bear this anger in vain.”
As soon as he stood up, Tianhong pulled him back to the original position.
"No wonder Master wants you to meditate. If you don't have this bit of xinxing, how can you still see the true teaching?"
Tian Wenpin figured out the mystery and immediately smiled and said: "Brother, when will you take me to see it?"
"You have returned to the temple this time. Since you have shown your peak appearance, you are naturally qualified to see the true biography, but you still have to pass the test of character and character.
Master asked you to knock on the wooden fish and meditate, it is also for your own good.
Originally, after the Buddhist scriptures were completed, you would have the opportunity to understand those Taoist traditions.
Now it seems...
It’s still too far!”
"No, senior brother, I'm a good boy. If you hadn't secretly taken me to eat meat and drink alcohol, how could I have come out?"
"Na na na, you have to have evidence for what you say. If you slander me like this, be careful I go to the master to take a copy of you."
"I'm slandering? Okay, let's talk like this, right?" Tian Wen was shaking with anger, left Tianhong's side, and sat down next to Tietang.
"Tietou, teach me your method, and I will switch my ways!"
Tianhong stood up suddenly, scolded Tian and asked: "Traitor, what are you going to do!"
"Master, don't worry, my method can be taught not only to him, but also to you."
"What? You are so willing?" Tianhong's expression changed. He didn't expect Tie Tang to be so generous and willing to share his orthodoxy with him.
You must know that this is not another skill, but a Taoism. Even the relationship between his junior brother and Tie Tang does not seem to have reached this stage, right?
Tie Tang smiled and said: "Why don't you give up? I am orthodox and spread the law to the world!"
Plop!
Tianhong fell down on the futon, looking dull.
Tian Wen, who was on the side, sneaked over and poked his senior brother in the face with his finger, laughing and laughing.
"Are you stupid? I can't cure you yet?"
An hour passed.
More than 300 people on the lotus platform are still meditating on the second volume of "Tathagata Dharma". The test of the true formula is to see who understands the most from it.
Even if you only master one and a half moves, there will be corresponding evaluations.
If someone can realize one or two complete martial arts and magical powers from the scriptures, he is almost a candidate for Buddhism.
The second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" produced by Daleiyin Temple this time actually contains some selfish motives.
They want to take the opportunity of selecting Buddhist disciples to find some people who are really likely to practice the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra".
However, this kind of person is like a drop in the ocean. You can't find it even with a lantern. Buddhism just tries it casually.
It’s best to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
Tie Tang passed on his future Dharma to everyone present on the Buddhist altar without hiding anything private.
He is the future orthodoxy, upright, and unstoppable as the general trend.
Tianhong also knew this very well, so he did not resist, because it was a matter of time.
One day.
All the past acupuncture methods of Daleiyin Temple will be eliminated and replaced by new methods based on Tie Tang's future method.
Everything is just like a million years ago, when the Acupoint Avenue replaced the Totem Avenue.
After imparting the Dharma and communicating for a long time, Tie Tang saw Huai Yurong frowning on the lotus platform, as if he had gained nothing.
This is not surprising.
With Huai Yurong's ninth grade talent, it would undoubtedly be more difficult for him to comprehend the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra with the incomplete second volume of the technique than it would be for him to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.
Tie Tang glanced at it. There were still many differences between the scriptures he saw on the Buddhist altar and what other people actually saw on the lotus platform.
Only on the lotus platform can you see all the scriptures displayed.
That's true.
He still noticed a familiar aura, and a magical power jumped out of his mind.
"It turns out that I didn't realize that I had learned a trick or a half of the "Tathagata Dharma". Anyway, I'm going to do a trick to see if I can help."
With a thought, Tie Tang secretly sent a message to Huai Yurong: "I have a teaching for you. If anyone asks, you can say that you enlightened it before..."
Another half hour passed.
Huai Yurong suddenly stood up on the lotus platform, forming mudra with his hands, Buddha light surged in front and behind him, eight Vajra phantoms flashed, holding different Buddha soldiers, with solemn brows and solemn expression.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva appeared and said in surprise: "With your qualifications and talents, you can realize the magical power of Tathagata Seal and Vajra Dharma. It seems that you are indeed destined to be my Buddha.
You sit on the lotus platform, and after half an hour, if no one can defeat you, you will be considered to have passed this level."
Feng Bingyao had seen the Tathagata Seal and Diamond Dharma. When she saw Huai Yurong using this magical power, she immediately looked at Tie Tang.
"The twisted melon...isn't sweet!"
"We monks compete with humans and heaven. Since we have this opportunity, why not try it?" Tie Tanghun didn't care.
Huai Yurong was taught the true biography of Tietang, which was almost equivalent to comprehending a complete magical power, surpassing everyone before him.
At this time, many forces watching the battle from the periphery could not sit still.
"It's the people around the little monk again. Where did this group of people come from? They stole the show as soon as they arrived."
"It's not the disciples of Daleiyin Temple who are responsible for this, is it? You see Buddha Dali is right next to them."
"The little girl from Fa Zi Jue is now hanging out with them. This little girl is so powerful that she is almost a sure candidate to be the disciple of the Buddha.
If we add this one, two of the six great Buddhist disciples will be eliminated, and we will not gain much benefit."
"The time is coming. This kid on the lotus platform has realized the complete magical power, and he will surpass everyone in the previous few days. I'm afraid he will be suspended."
"Well, no, that's...such a strong Buddha's light!"
On the eighteen-grade lotus platform, there are huge lotus petals of various colors. There is a person standing on the golden lotus. The rich Buddha light radiates from his body, and behind him appears a Boluo Kurong tree with infinite Zen.
"The World-honored Tree of Enlightenment!"
Buzz~
The void trembled, and streaks of colorful clouds flew from the sky of Six Desires, gathering on the man's head. Even the Bodhisattvas, Ming Kings, and Heavenly Kings guarding this world appeared.
This level of momentum is more than ten times greater than when Huai Yurong used the Tathagata Seal and Diamond Dharma before.
"There are still people like this..." Tie Tang's eyes flashed with red light, and he opened his phoenix eyes to take a closer look.
Feng Bingyao said coldly from the side: "The melon is ripe but not ripe, no matter how hard you try, it won't be sweet in the end."
"Don't be complacent, I think... this person is probably cheating, but he is indeed better than Yu Rong in understanding this technique."
Tie Tang simply didn't believe that someone could create such a momentum with incomplete scriptures.
"You can see through it, which means that Buddhism can also know it. The comparison is based on personal skills and knowledge. It seems that you still lose half the battle."
What Feng Bingyao said is true.
I don’t know which force secretly made a move to allow another person to defeat Huai Yurong and compete for the position of Buddha’s son.
"It seems that opportunities cannot be taken advantage of. After all, he does not have this blessing."
With his secret help, Huai Yurong failed to win the title of Buddhist disciple, which shows that he is not a candidate for the disciple of Buddha.
Feng Bingyao looked at the lotus platform and murmured to herself: "There are still some geniuses in this world."
The selection of Zhenzi Jue ended, and Huai Yurong returned disappointed.
No surprise, as long as no one else surpasses him in the next two days, the previous one will definitely have a seat.
"Chief Tie, I let you down." Huai Yurong felt ashamed and annoyed.
Tie Tang would not blame him, but instead advised him: "Everyone has his destiny, and he can cultivate the great path without being a disciple of this Buddha."
The following six-character selection rounds followed, and Liu Xiangxiang made her debut every time the Dharma characters appeared. She never lost a single match, and became famous for a while, firmly occupying the position of a Buddhist disciple.
Long Yu, Li Yao, and Huai Yurong also played respectively, but they all got nothing, or their skills were inferior to others, and they were defeated.
It is not that simple to become a disciple of Buddha.
Ying Roujin is the only one left in the fourth child. She has never stepped onto the lotus platform. She has been hesitant and hesitant, losing the freedom and ease she had when she first met Tie Tang.
Time flies by.
Two days have passed by in a flash. Tomorrow is the Buddhist ceremony, and the selection of the six great Buddhist disciples has come to an end.
Except for the word "Yuan", no one was elected. The five words "Yuan", "Ding", "True", "Xing" and "Dharma" all selected a Buddhist disciple.
"The lotus platform will be closed before sunset. Don't you really want to try it?"
Huai Yurong had actually given up the idea of becoming a disciple of Buddhism since the Zhenzi selection, and was instead admonishing his junior sister.
He knew that Ying Roujin was not such an indecisive person. For some reason, she had not dared to go on stage these past two days.
"I...I'd better forget it. With my qualifications, it would be embarrassing to go. It's better to stay with my senior brother."
"I don't think you want to accompany me. You want to accompany Sheriff Tie, right?" Huai Yurong saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"Oh~ Junior Sister, love is the most difficult thing to deal with. Logically speaking, as a brother, I shouldn't stop you.
But you have to understand...if you don't seize some opportunities, the gap with him will become wider and wider.
Dragons do not live with snakes, and rengs do not live with birds!
Think about it carefully."
Ying Roujin's face was red, her eyes were evasive, and she occasionally glanced at Tie Tang who was chatting and laughing.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually appears. This is the last light of the setting sun, just like the lonely and dull life of an old man.
It may be true that life is ordinary, but there should always be some ups and downs.
Otherwise——
It’s a bit boring!
"I, I went to participate." Ying Roujin timidly dropped these words and carefully flew to the lotus platform on the clouds.
"Oh? I thought she didn't want to be a monk." Tianwen opened his mouth to hurt others.
Tianhong also shook his head slightly: "It is impossible for anyone to activate this Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit. Even the World Honored Ones in our sect must use secret methods to invite you.
In comparison, it is better to have a greater chance of participating in other five-character selections."
At this time, there were not many people on the lotus platform, only a few were left. Even the many onlookers, gods and gods, left Liuyutian with their relatives, friends and subordinates, preparing to participate in the Buddha Welcome Ceremony tomorrow.
After Ying Roujin arrived at the lotus platform, everything was as usual and nothing happened.
She found a remote location and sat down, secretly communicating with the lotus platform.
Huai Yurong, who was originally expecting a miracle, was a little disappointed when he saw this scene.
Li Yao said regretfully: "It's a pity that Sir and Miss Feng can't participate, otherwise you two will definitely win a seat."
Long Yu has a different view: "Even if you and Miss Feng are qualified, they probably won't participate. Compared to them... a Buddhist disciple is actually nothing."
"Yes, yes, if my elder brother hadn't said that I had a chance, I wouldn't have wanted to be a monk." Liu Xiangxiang waved her pink fist.
Tie Tang waved his hand: "If you are elected as a Buddhist disciple, you don't have to shave your head. You don't have to worry about that. It's just that you will inevitably be involved in Buddhism. This is true."
"Tomorrow is to welcome the Buddhist ceremony, and I don't know if anyone has come to the court yet." Feng Bingyao was still thinking about her father's injury, hoping to see Wu Mu here.
"I can't see the causal line with Wu Mu, Taibao, Shang Palace Master and others. Most of them are isolated by themselves or the Holy Capital.
But with their strength, even if they are thousands of miles away, it shouldn't take long for them to arrive."
Tianwen waved his hand: "We'll talk about tomorrow. One of the six great Buddhist disciples is missing. I don't know what to choose."
"It stands to reason... someone should be able to succeed. Could it be that the calculation above is wrong?" Tianhong looked confused.
Since Daleiyin Temple has laid out the formation of the six major Buddhist disciples and stipulated specific requirements, it will not be misguided.
Otherwise, if there is one less Buddhist disciple now, even if they can choose another person, they will still lose face.
The last golden rays of the setting sun shine on the eighteen-level lotus platform, as if the World Honored One is sitting on the lotus platform, bringing forth immeasurable Buddha light.
Vajra Hand, Vajra Fist Bodhisattva, the Great Mighty King of Virtue, the Three Worlds of Ming King, the Four Heavenly Kings, and other vajras guarding the Six Desire Heavens all appeared in the void one by one, preparing to send the eighteen-grade Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit and Virtue away. p>
This lotus platform has a very high status, and it is also an extremely powerful Buddhist soldier. Its strength reaches the heavens and the earth, and it also has wisdom that is different from other immortal soldiers and Buddhist treasures.
Treat it as a real Buddha, there is no problem at all.
But just now.
Someone discovered that the golden light on the lotus platform seemed to be somewhat different from the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Is that the light of Buddha or the brilliance of the setting sun?"
"Some of them are unclear and difficult to distinguish."
"Is it possible..."
"This is the ultimate Buddhist soldier, can't it?"
"Why don't you leave first? If this Buddhist weapon is activated... the slightest bit of power can shock us to death."
Buzz~
Like a lotus blooming, like a golden-domed Buddha appearing.
The bright Buddha's light shines from the eighteenth lotus platform.
This time.
No one doubts it anymore.
Swish swish...
Everyone stood up, and Tie Tang also opened his phoenix eyes, looking for the extremely powerful Buddhist soldier in front of him.
"Someone really prompted it...who is it?"
Phew~
A figure was bounced off the lotus platform.
Followed by the second and third courses...
There were only a few figures on the lotus platform, and now they were all ejected from the lotus platform one by one. Only the last figure was left, sitting quietly and peacefully on a lotus leaf.
"Junior sister..." Huai Yurong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Tie Tang, Tianhong, Tianwen and others looked shocked, looking at the only familiar figure on the lotus platform with surprise.
"Miss Ying..."
"Such a relationship with Buddha is worse than mine." Tianhong felt ashamed.
"Damn, is she really a genius?" Tianwen opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a fist into it.
Boom!
The Eighteenth Grade Ten Thousand Flowers Merit Lotus shook slightly, and ripples rippled throughout the Six Desires Heaven.
From the lotus platform, a melodious and vast Sanskrit sound came out.
"I heard that the light shines everywhere, the Vajra womb is hidden, the Dharmakaya Tathagata."
The eighteen-grade lotus platform that was originally a thousand feet in size gradually shrank, and finally became a foot in diameter, with a figure sitting on it.
Ying Roujin closed her eyes tightly and sat down on her knees. She made auspicious seals on each hand and held the Buddha's light on her head, shining all over the six heavens of desire.
No one could believe what they saw.
A shaman from the earth witch realm, not even an immortal god, actually activated this supreme Buddhist weapon from the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
For a while.
Even the Bodhisattvas, Ming Kings, and Heavenly Kings all over the sky were stunned, looking at the figure on the lotus platform with some disbelief.
They know that there will be people who have this predestined relationship with Buddha. This is something that the Buddha in the sect has calculated.
But how could it be...
How could it be a woman?
Or is she such a weak woman who doesn’t seem to have high qualifications?
Boom!
The King of Ming Kings and the leader of the five Ming Kings, Fudo Ming King, entered the Six Desire Heaven, followed by the most powerful and holy Buddhas and Bodhisattva incarnations, all of whom came to the Six Desire Heaven one by one.
Tianwen excitedly pointed at a figure in the sky and pushed Tianhong: "Brother, the master is here too."
Tianhong ignored him, shook his body, and transformed into a height of hundreds of feet. The Buddha's light surged behind him, and he also found a place among the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
"Something big has happened..." Tie Tang exclaimed.
It's obvious.
The meaning of being able to activate the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit probably exceeds the so-called name of a Buddha.
Feng Bingyao glanced quickly: "Except for some of the highest-ranking World Honored Ones, most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Great Leiyin Temple are here."
Whoa!
Ying Roujin, who was on the Wanhua Merit Lotus, suddenly opened her eyes, filled with golden light, solemn and sacred.
Many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Mingwangs, and Vajras all put their palms together, looked solemn, and spoke in unison.
