Chapter 206: The Tathagata is worried, why is the Bodhisattva and Arhat retreating?
…
"World Honored One, Li Ke's strength has been promoted recently.
The stronger he is, the more trouble we will have." In one fell swoop, the Boluohan put his palms together respectfully and said to the Buddha,
Quite worried.
"What strength is it now?" asked Kasyapa beside Tathagata.
"Divided according to the three thousand worlds of our Buddhism,
He has reached the level of immortality.
From the perspective of the three realms, he has already achieved enlightenment and thus achieved the ultimate goal." replied the alms-raising Arhat.
"He's just an immortal... I just saw the cause and effect.
You haven't even reached the level of Earth Immortal yet, so why should you be nervous?" Most of the Five Hundred Arhats felt that this little bit of strength was nothing.
"The Immortal is called the Emperor of the Earth. Judging from the speed of his cultivation... he is only a few years old.
From a mortal to the level of an immortal,
Don't you think it's terrifying to stand proudly on the four major continents of the earthly world?" As soon as Tathagata opened his mouth, those Arhats immediately stopped talking.
There was silence.
In the eyes of their Arhats, this immortal
His strength is still very weak, but Li Ke's growth rate is really terrifying.
You must know that they are Arhats,
Which one has not practiced for hundreds of kalpas, thousands of kalpas, or even ten thousand kalpas?
The current results have been achieved, but Li Ke has only been here for a few years.
"Learn from the Five Elements of Master and Disciple,
This is the door for my Buddhism to spread the classics from east to west.
I feel sorry for the endless sins and sufferings of all living beings in Jambudvipa, south of Jambudvipa.
I have compassion in my heart and want to free all sentient beings from the sea of suffering.
However, Li Ke was born in Nanzhan Buzhou.
He has great ambitions to unify all religions..." Tathagata sighed.
"What a huge ambition. Before I take off my mortal body, I dare to think about the unification of all religions." The Arhat who crossed the river laughed and said,
Back then, he knew how difficult it was to preach.
It is more difficult to unify all religions than to become a Buddha.
"Li Ke is really irritating to hinder my missionary plan.
Why don't we give him some trouble and make him tired of dealing with it, so that he can interfere with our plans flawlessly." A Bodhisattva said.
"You have become a Bodhisattva, why do you have the desire to retreat again?" The Tathagata helplessly looked at another Bodhisattva in Buddhism who had thoughts and began to retreat.
"You must remember that when you have no place to live, your heart will be born.
Otherwise, I, the Buddhist Arhat and Bodhisattva, will retreat one by one.
This will only speed up the convergence of the comprehensive strength between Buddhism and Wuji Academy.
Even overtaken by them.”
As soon as I think of this, the Tathagata's Nirvana mind starts to think,
An invisible calamity is flowing, which is quite painful.
"Although Li Ke is annoying, he has not slandered Buddhism.
Rather, they are promoting Buddhism in another form.
What shocked me even more was that the Buddhism he advocated was different from ours.
I always feel that he is more fundamental than us.
It seems to be the kind of thing that even I can’t figure out,
Is there Buddhism beyond Mahayana?"
Tathagata asked questions, but there was no answer.
"He is spreading the teachings of Buddhism and cannot do it forcefully.
But it is controlled by cause and effect!" Tathagata continued to remind.
"But I am only a Bodhisattva after all.
There is still love, there is still a trace of involvement, I cannot be as detached as the Buddha,
I am willing to turn back and stop him Li Ke." Bodhisattva, King of Dingzizizi, said.
The Tathagata is afraid that this Bodhisattva, King of Concentration and Freedom, will destroy the path and fruition of all kalpas.
I wanted to click a few more times, then Maitreya Buddha spoke.
"If you create some trouble for Li Ke, you don't need Bodhisattva Dharma to come forward.
I’ll just let that yellow-browed boy walk down to the lower realms.”
Maitreya Buddha also felt that it was not easy for King Ding Zi Zai to achieve his current achievements.
The Tao and fruit cannot be damaged because of this.
The name Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Bodhisattva became unstable.
The Tathagata knows that every time an Arhat retreats in Buddhism,
So for Tianting Taoism and Wuji Academy Zhenzong,
It’s the disadvantage of one that waxes and wanes,
What's more, the one who retreated was a Bodhisattva.
At that time, Buddhism was booming and there were more believers practicing good deeds.
But as time goes by, the karma of all sentient beings in Jambudvipa becomes too strong.
Divine power is not as powerful as karma,
Moreover, there are fewer and fewer believers. Not only do they not believe, but they also harbor slander.
