Chapter 645 Five-fold Tathagata, Wukong suppresses two
It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer: the weather is clear and cool, and lotus flowers are growing in the ponds and marshes. The plum blossoms are ripe after the rain, and the wheat is growing in the wind. Where the grass is fragrant and the flowers are falling, the old orioles are light on the willow branches. The river swallows are carrying their chicks, and the pheasants are feeding their young.
Ming. Dounan will be the sun forever, and all things will be bright.
Time flies slowly, and the years fly by.
In a daze, three years have passed since the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang realized enlightenment.
It is already the 27th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
After going through untold hardships, the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng finally entered Lingshan Mountain.
The four people went to Lingjiu Peak and in front of the Mahavira Hall of Daleiyin Temple, and bowed down to the Tathagata. After bowing, they bowed again to the left and right. Each of them had made three turns, and then again
He knelt down before the Buddha and presented the customs clearance documents. The Tathagata read them one by one and handed them to Sanzang. Sanzang bowed down the chimney and saluted, saying: "My disciple Xuanzang, in accordance with the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, went to Baoshan Mountain.
I pray for the true scriptures to help all sentient beings. I hope that I, the Buddha, will be kind and send you back to my country as soon as possible."
The World-Honored Tathagata looked at the four people kneeling down. He took a closer look at his legitimate son Luo Luo, who had already changed his appearance and could never go back. He suddenly sighed in his heart.
In fact, his most fundamental purpose in arranging the Buddhist scripture study was to expand the influence of Buddhism and make the reputation of our Buddha, Lord Buddha, resound throughout the four continents. Kings, generals, ministers, and hundreds of millions of people from all over the world would all devoutly believe in our Buddhism.
In addition, Xiniu Hezhou, the fundamental place of Buddhism, should be properly cleaned up, and all the mountain monsters who do not obey the heaven and disrespect Lingshan should be killed. Those emperors and generals who do not believe in our Buddha and do not promote Buddhism should be properly cleaned up.
Clean up.
But at present, it seems that this fundamental task has not been completed.
The Zhuzi Kingdom, which originally belonged to Hezhou, Xiniu, a Buddhist-revering country, suddenly had a prince, killed peacocks, subdued bull demons, swept across all countries, ascended the throne as emperor, and established a Ming Dynasty that admired the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Moreover, the emperor did not respect Buddha but
Able to realize Buddhahood by himself, he also explained the truth of the world to monks in the world, and enlightened five hundred Arhats, five hundred golden immortals, and five hundred human immortals in one breath.
So much so that in the Ming Dynasty, which spread thousands of miles, there were no temples matching Buddhism.
Brahmanism in the south, Unitarianism in the west, and Zoroastrianism in the north.
These three major sects are all deep-rooted, with great gods sitting in charge, and their strength is only stronger than other Lingshan Buddhist sects. Therefore, if Buddhism wants to spread throughout the world, it can only spread to the four major continents that it can influence.
However, the Ming Dynasty established by Feng Zhou was like a fish bone stuck in the throat, affecting the efficiency of spreading the Dharma to the four major continents.
If things continue like this, Buddhism will only be afraid of decline.
And Fengzhou's teaching of testimony might take advantage of the situation and spread across the so-called four major continents.
However, if the Buddhist army is organized for an eastern expedition, but it goes against the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, I am afraid that the eastern expedition will not be completed and Buddhism will be divided again.
Just like Devadatta back then.
These thoughts flashed through the Tathagata's mind, and he slowly spoke: "Your eastern land is the Nanfangbu Continent, just because the sky is high and the sky is high, the things are vast and the people are dense, there is a lot of greed, a lot of killing, a lot of adultery, a lot of deceit, a lot of deception;
If you don’t follow Buddhism and don’t pursue good deeds, I now have the Tripitaka of Sutras, which can help you transcend suffering and explain disasters. The Tripitakas: There is a Dharma and a Tibetan Buddhism for talking about heaven; there is a Dharma Tibetan Buddhism for talking about heaven; there is a Dharma Tibetan Tibet for talking about the earth; there is a Sutra Tibetan Tibet for saving ghosts. There are three in total.
Fifteen volumes, including fifteen thousand one hundred and forty-four volumes. It is truly the path to cultivation and the door to righteousness and goodness. It covers astronomy, geography, characters, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, human affairs, everything in the four major continents of the world.
"You have come from afar, and I want to give you everything and take it away. But the people there are stupid and strong, they slander the truth, and they do not know the secret purpose of my ascetics."
He also called: "Anuo, Kaye, you two will lead the four people to him under the treasure tower. First, give him a fasting meal. After fasting, open the treasure pavilion and give him the thirty-five volumes of the Tripitaka." Inside, each of them will check out a few volumes and give them to him, teaching him to spread them throughout the East and instill great kindness forever."
The two venerables immediately followed the Buddha's order and led the four of them downstairs. After they had finished their meal with them, they entered the treasure pavilion and opened the door to take a look. There was a rosy glow and auspicious aura that shrouded a thousand layers; colorful mist and auspicious clouds covered the room. Wandao. On the sutra cabinet and outside the treasure box, there are red stickers with the names of the sutras written in regular script. The sutras of various sutras are listed one after another. Anuo and Jiaye led Tang Monk to read all the sutra names and said to Tang Monk: "Holy Monk When Dongtu comes here, what kind of people are there to send us? Quickly bring them out so that we can teach the scriptures to you."
Tang Monk chuckled: "The poor monk came to Lingshan to seek scriptures for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and also to spread Mahayana Buddhism to the east for Lingshan. These two things are convenient, so the two venerables did not thank me, but asked for personnel , isn’t it wrong to go astray?”
The expressions of the two venerables changed, and then they laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay! If you pass down the sutra with your bare hands to the next generation, the future generations will starve to death!"
Tang Monk said: "Your scriptures can make all living beings eat well, wear good clothes, make all living beings happy and peaceful, and all living beings will worship devoutly. How can you starve to death? Two venerables, could it be that the Dharma is not perfect?" ?”
"Yes! Yes!"
Sun Wukong laughed at the side and said: "The two venerables are not Arhats, not Bodhisattvas, and certainly not my Buddha. It seems that the Buddha Dharma does not exist, and the inner Dharma is unclear. They don't even dare to teach me the true scriptures!"
Zhu Bajie also shouted from the side: "It's actually very simple. Master, if he doesn't pass on the sutra, our master and disciple will return to the daughter's country to live, and ask the senior brother to send a message to the king of Tang, saying that Tathagata refuses to pass on the sutra and only wants the Tang Dynasty Wealth is like that of Jieli Khan."
Sha Monk just laughed and didn't seem to take this scripture to heart.
In fact, his four masters and disciples had already realized the Tao. If they had not clearly seen their nature and vowed to come to the West, they would have already settled in Zhuzi City. How could they have rushed to the West?
It can be said that the scriptures are in their hearts, but the scriptures are not in their hearts.
What's the difference between spreading to the east and staying in Lingshan?
After all, the literacy rate in the Tang Dynasty was very low.
These two venerables originally wanted to make a fortune, but seeing the indifferent expressions of the four masters and disciples, they felt uneasy.
But then his uneasiness turned into bullying, and Anuo said: "Don't shout! Where are you going? You are acting wild and unruly! Come here to receive the sutra."
Bajie Sha Seng smiled faintly and turned around to pick it up. He put the roll in a bag and carried it on his horse. He also bundled two more loads and Bajie and Sha Seng carried them.
Tang Monk casually picked up a scripture and was about to open it face to face.
When Kassapa saw it, he couldn't help but feel panicked, and hurriedly said: "How can you be so frivolous in front of the Buddha's seat in the holy land of Lingshan? Go and pick up the scriptures, return to the Tang Dynasty, bathe and burn incense, and then preach seriously."
Tang Monk glanced at Kasyapa and said calmly: "Buddha is everywhere, both in the heart and outside the body. He can recite sutras at any time. Why should it be so strange?"
As he said that, he turned over a page, looked at it intently, and then his expression changed.
It turned out that the sutra scroll was white and there was no writing at all. When Sun Wukong saw this, he opened another scroll and read it, but there was no writing on it. Bajie opened another scroll, but there was no writing on it either.
It turns out that all the scrolls are white paper.
At this time, the expressions of all four masters and disciples changed, and their eyes turned sharp.
But in the blink of an eye, the eyes of the four people softened again.
Tang Monk smiled faintly: "Although it is a wordless scripture, perhaps Venerable Kassapa realized the Zen way when he saw the Buddha holding flowers and smiled, but nothing is nothing, and existence is existence. It is just like common sense, and one can become a Buddha without access to the scriptures."
After saying this, his whole body was illuminated with great brightness, and he achieved the Tathagata's secret practice of merit and enlightenment.
Sun Wukong swept across Kassapa. Ananda glanced at them and saw that their faces were pale, and their hearts were not at all disturbed. They only wished that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and their hearts were clear.
The golden monkey rises with great force, and the jade sky clears the air.
Suddenly, within the three realms, the sky and the earth were clear and bright, and the demons were trembling.
Wukong achieves spiritual enlightenment and fights with Tathagata.
Zhu Bajie sat cross-legged on the ground, with his right knee raised, stroking his knee with one hand, and holding a wordless scripture in the other hand, laughing. Suddenly, outside the three realms, the Milky Way surged, and the stars twinkled boundlessly.
In an instant, Bajie became the Tathagata of Galaxy Starlight.
Monk Sha had an aura of kindness all over his body. He held the magic formula of the Heavenly General and recited the mantra of the Jade Emperor Sutra. At this point, he attained the enlightenment of the World Honored One, understood the causes and consequences of the past glazed lamp, understood the eternal existence of nature, and became the Enlightenment of the Pure Golden Body Tathagata.
But then I saw the white dragon horse leaping into the air with its front hooves, roaring and neighing in the air. In an instant, it transformed into a white dragon, and then into a human form. For a while, the sky was filled with flowers and Ganoderma lucidum, becoming the Tathagata of Heavenly Dragon Visibility.
In this way, the four masters and disciples became five masters and disciples. The five people stood up together, put their hands together and saluted each other.
"We walked step by step, understood the mind and nature, and saw the wordless sutra. Then we connected with the great road of the world. We called each other Tathagata, and we became one." Tathagata, who practices secret practice and merit, said with a smile.
"The two deities troubled me, but I was liberated. However, if they trouble others, others will only suffer! This heart is like a demon, why should I save my life and become a real demon?" Lingming Douzhan Tathagata chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and
The monkey's paw struck the heads of Kassapa and Ananda.
"Boom."
An invisible power descended suddenly, pressing down on Kasyapa and Ananda like a mountain, trying to push them down to their knees.
At this time, seeing Sun Wukong approaching fiercely, he roared wildly, each using his magical power, and the strong wind condensed. You can even see a green dragon-like Qi coming from the two of them, rushing out from the top of their heads, and the two Qi merged into one.
Breath clock.
"open!"
The two venerables roared at the same time, and the Qi bell surged to a size of about ten feet, and they were about to break through the restriction.
Nagasyapa is the first, and Ananda is the first. He has been with me for a long time, and his magic power is powerful. In terms of combat power, he is not much weaker than Bodhisattva and Arhat. Especially the home field advantage. Even though the five of his master and disciple are shining with golden light, the two of them have
What to fear?
But it was beyond their expectations.
The Qi clock only lasted for half a finger before it suddenly shattered. Immediately afterwards, infinite huge force came down from the sky. Pei Mo could not resist it. It easily defeated all the body-protecting Qi of the two of them. With a bang, the two venerables
Then he was pressed to the ground, and he knelt on his knees and worshiped him.
One palm can suppress two nobles.
"How is it possible?" The strongman in charge of Zhenlou, the cook in charge of Xiangji, and the venerable man in charge of the pavilion were all shocked and shocked.
You must know that Kassapa and Ananda are not Buddha, Bodhisattva, or Arhat, but they are indeed two of the ten disciples of Buddha Tathagata. How can they have magical power and supernatural powers that others can't achieve?
Moreover, the two men were highly respected in Lingshan, and Kassapa had the merit of opening up Zen Buddhism.
But the two of them were easily defeated by Sun Wukong!
No, he should have lost to Wukong Buddha.
Looking at Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha, and the white dragon horse that turned into a human form, they all looked at the two venerables with indifferent expressions, as if they were looking at ants.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like the eyes of Buddha.
