"Disciple Tathagata, pay homage to my Buddha and pay homage to the Buddha's mother."
We finally arrived in the West, and we had been waiting for our pick-up and arrival for a long time.
In addition, in addition to the two saints, Sakyamuni also met many masters of immortal Buddhism.
For example, Demon Heart Buddha, the previous Demon Heart Taoist.
The moment he saw the demon heart, Sakyamuni had a strange feeling.
I have an inexplicable feeling that this person is dangerous, but I can't explain exactly what's so strange.
And the feeling like a demon's heart found that Sakyamuni was dangerous, and his Buddha eyes seemed to be able to see through himself.
Fortunately, the situation where the two felt that each other was in danger did not continue.
Zhunti and Jieyin endured it for a long time, and finally waited until Sakyamuni came, intending to ask what was going on.
It was said that this was the first time that they met Sakyamuni. When they left the spiritual world, Sakyamuni was still a Taoist priest of Duobao, and they were also curious about this Buddhist leader in the spiritual world.
After driving away all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, only three people were left sitting cross-legged.
"Tathagata, can you tell me why you are here?" Jieyin asked.
"This is natural. I, the Buddha, will say it even without asking my disciples. Let me start with the fact that my Buddhism will flourish."
Even if Zhunti and Jieyin felt strange about Sakyamuni's behavior, they were still two saints who would criticize him harshly without coming forward and wanted to hear Sakyamuni's explanation.
"... Not long ago, my disciple had an occasional insight into the secret of heaven, and discovered that my opportunity for the prosperity of Buddhism has come, and I will conquer the divine continent in the spiritual world... After that, my disciple and my Buddha's avatar discussed it, and my Buddha Amitabha's avatar is a clone after all. I can't see it.
Seeing what we are facing..., so the disciple came to the fairy world. First, he took advantage of Tao Zun, and Tao Zun also gave him some advice. After that, the three tribes of dragon, phoenix, unicorn, and the three tribes of lich and human... This is the purpose of the disciple coming to the fairy world.
"
As Sakyamuni finished speaking, Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other, and they were startled. They didn't expect that Sakyamuni had already done so much.
And it feels very strange that in the past, any major Buddhist affairs were planned and discussed by the two of me. This is the first time that a disciple has already completed it without the knowledge of my two brothers.
"Amitabha, good, good, good." He then said the Buddha's name.
"I almost misunderstood you." Zhunti said.
After listening to Sakyamuni's series of plans, the two of them really didn't know what to say. However, both of them were smart people and found that Sakyamuni's layout was impeccable.
Even if the two of them planned it, I am afraid that with such wisdom and even different Taoist aspirations, they could not be as good as Sakyamuni.
Moreover, after listening to Sakyamuni's words, the two of them also understood why Sakyamuni did not come to the west first, but first went to find Taoist Master, and then traveled all the way, and finally arrived at their own place.
The advantage of doing this is that it not only takes advantage of the situation, but also looks upright.
If Sakyamuni comes to the Immortal Realm and comes to the West first, I am afraid that even if other forces agree, they will be wary of him.
The two of them thought deeply about it and felt that it was a perfect plan and there was no need to fix any omissions or omissions.
He is worthy of being the leader of the spiritual world who created his own Mahayana Buddhism.
However, the two of them also had the same doubts as Sanqing.
Zhun asked: "Tathagata, this Buddha Mother only has one thing to ask, are you Tathagata? Or many treasures?"
"Haha" Tathagata smiled slightly, why did he ask himself this.
I don’t even know who I am!
Is it Many Treasures or Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha? I am confused as to how to answer.
"Who does my Buddha consider his disciple?" asked Sakyamuni.
Seeing the Buddha's light flowing in Sakyamuni's eyes, without any hint of concealment, he said, "I hope you are my Buddhist Tathagata."
"Then I, Buddha, just think that my disciple is Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha, because my disciples don't know who they are. Maybe this is my demonic obstacle. This is the key to my enlightenment of my true self. I will come again when my disciples realize my true self."
Can you tell me Buddha and who his disciples are?"
After saying this, if Zhunti and Jieyin still don't understand, they will have lived so many years in vain.
They were almost as surprised as Sanqing. They were surprised by Sakyamuni's confusion and they were surprised that they didn't know how to answer.
"Amitabha, you are very good. You are the leader of Buddhism in the spiritual world. I understand." He said.
It was useless to talk too much, and even to the extent of forcing too much, Sakyamuni was disgusted. If he really had a moment of enlightenment, he might have become a Taoist Buddha instead of a Buddhist Tathagata.
Therefore, the three of them dropped the topic and talked about the plan for the prosperity of Buddhism.
"According to the disciple's understanding, as long as our Buddhism flourishes perfectly, it will be conducive to the evolution of the prehistoric times. As far as the disciple knows, the previous Sanqing saints were the first cause and effect after Long Han, so whether it was the previous lich fighting for hegemony or the feudal
The divine calamity is promoted by three saints;
...The apotheosis of gods is over, and the three saints have paid off their karma and returned to their true selves.
...The same is true for our Buddhist sect. Our Buddhist sect is the cause and effect of the Three Pure Saints who promoted the progress of the prehistoric era.
...the two Buddhas, both prospered and declined. Their prosperity was unstoppable, and so was their decline. We need to think about the plans we need when one day our Buddhism declines;
... Just like the Sanqing Saints at this moment, the dignified Sanqing Saints are unable to move forward in the immortal world and can only stick to the small area of the dojo. They are tolerating and waiting for the re-emergence in the future, just like the three clans were silent before.
The rise of the future..."
He told the two saints everything he thought about.
Zhunti and Jieyin understood the reason. However, this was the first time someone told them so clearly: cause and effect and repayment.
For example, after Long Han, the first cause and effect of the Three Purities, they have completed their repayment and their true self has returned. Maybe this is the reason for the changes in the Three Purities since entering the immortal world.
The two of them had previously wondered why Sanqing had reconciled. It turned out to be this reason, and they finally made sense and understood it.
As expected of the former Duobao, he knew more about the secrets of Sanqing than he did.
On the contrary, according to Duobao's speculation, the two of them were the first cause and effect that promoted the progress of the prehistoric era after the Three Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, many things move forward involuntarily, which seems to explain a lot of why I calculated well, but the ending was not what I wanted.
The two of them thought they were unlucky before, but now they think it was fate.
Even the dragons, phoenixes and unicorns of the three tribes of Yanchandao were in the same situation before they could transcend and be controlled. Later, the era of the three tribes being defeated by the three tribes came to an end...
The lich was also pushed forward involuntarily. In the end, the lich suffered heavy losses. One walked far away into the endless sea, and the other was a low-key turtle huddled in the sea of blood.
The last three clears...
However, there are also doubts. It is said that Sanqing is the one who reflects the gods and calamities, so why did he also suffer heavy losses?
Thinking of this, Zhunti was embarrassed and speechless for a while.
It seems that he wanted to plot against the Sanqing and the human race. In the end, there was not much Buddhist karma, but he found it on his own.
This is really self-inflicted.
The same was true for Jie Yin. Thinking of his junior brother's plan at that time, he felt something was wrong at first.
But let the junior brother make plans, let alone the last one, Shen Gongbao was seriously injured.
Suddenly enlightened, the two people looked at Sakyamuni with friendly eyes. If they had known such cause and effect earlier, Buddhism would not have made so many mistakes.
Jie Yin asked: "According to what you said, Tathagata, as long as Buddhism flourishes, we will have won half the battle. As long as we carefully deal with the failure of Buddhism after its prosperity, we, Buddhism, can repay the cause and effect and escape like Sanqing and others."
The shackles of fate return to the true self?"
"Good, my disciples think so too, but?" Sakyamuni suddenly remembered Taichu's words: It's not that simple.
"But what?" Quan asked.
"It was something Taoist Master accidentally said to his disciples. It's not that simple, and my disciples don't understand it either." Sakyamuni shook his head.
After saying that, the three of them became very silent.
You don't have to care if others say it, but if you dare to say this in Taichu, there must be a reason.
Is it difficult to face the decline of Buddhism? Is it not that simple?
Fortunately, the two saints thought about it and realized that at least they had two saints. Even if it was difficult, could the saints still fall?
Since the saint is immortal, there is no need to be afraid. The worst thing to do is to accumulate more slowly.
Therefore, the three of them gave up thinking if they couldn't figure it out, and decided to make arrangements for the prosperity of Buddhism.
"Tathagata, there is my avatar, Patriarch Bodhi, in the spiritual world. You can contact him after you return to the spiritual world. If you have any arrangements, you can instruct him to complete them." Zhunti.
"Tathagata, after you go back, you will have complete control over Buddhism in the spiritual world, and my clone Amitabha will be completely hidden from the world."
"Tathagata, since the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Son of Luck, is mysterious and abnormal, you have to be careful. With the support of all the forces in the immortal world, we can make a perfect plan. Of course, you can also talk to the Heavenly Court of the Spiritual World after you go back.
Heaven will agree."
"Tathagata..."
The trip of Sakyamuni Tathagata has come to a successful conclusion.
But the discussion in the fairy world about him reached its peak.
The Buddhist leader Sakyamuni came from the spiritual world. After visiting various major forces along the way, he returned to the spiritual world.
His Tathagata's name is remembered by most masters in the immortal world, especially the top leaders of several major forces who were persuaded by Sakyamuni.
Everyone feels that Sakyamuni Tathagata is very extraordinary. If this person persists, it will not be difficult for him to realize the Hunyuan one day.
Finally, it was Sakyamuni who was received by Yimu. In the immortal world for a thousand years, Sakyamuni started from the East China Sea and left behind legends along the way.
Shengxiandai!
"Is this trip complete?" Omu asked, looking at Tathagata who remained unchanged as before.
"Reporting to the saint, this trip is a success. The younger generation relies on the guidance of the seniors and the Taoist Master to take advantage of the opportunity. The merits of this trip are complete and will return to the spiritual world."
"Shan, you have changed the reputation of Buddhism, which is very good. Besides, the Buddhist teachings left in the Stone Forest of Taichu Realm are very good."
"The saints carry their love, and the line of Taoist monuments and stone forests, the younger generation also benefited a lot, so they know that the Dharma is boundless and unfathomable."
Yimu witnessed all the Tathagata's journey from arrival to return, and Yimu's expectations had been fulfilled when he came.
The contents of Tathagata's discussions with the big forces were also known to a few experts.
Yimu guessed it right. Sakyamuni accomplished all the aboveboard conspiracy and impeccable plan.
…………
In the spiritual world, the unlucky Lord Pleiades discovered that the Buddha had returned from the fairy world.
He was so frightened that he received the returning Buddha tremblingly.
It just so happened that Tathagata needed to discuss with the Jade Emperor and came to the Lingxiao Palace.
"Why did Buddha come?"
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor met Tathagata with doubts.
Recently, the Jade Emperor has been in seclusion. After realizing that it is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself, the entire heaven discovered that the Jade Emperor had changed.
It has become less aggressive, has become much softer, and has become incomprehensible.
The gods have always believed that it was because of the Jade Emperor's progress in cultivation.
Not long ago, the Holy Dynasty era broke out in the immortal world, and saints appeared in droves. The Jade Emperor, who was of the same generation as these saints, was still in the quasi-sage consummation.
He didn't even go to the Hunyuan Tower to practice, which made the gods very confused and felt that it shouldn't be done.
However, no one knows what the Jade Emperor was thinking.
After the Jade Emperor realized that it was better to rely on others than to rely on himself, he discovered that what he lacked was not training but enlightenment.
Training can reduce time, but your own situation is not determined by time.
He even felt that he might be able to realize his heavenly mind and his true self in the next moment.
I also feel that I cannot clearly understand the heavenly mind and my true self in this life.
The best place for you to retreat and gain enlightenment is not the Hunyuan Tower of Creation, but the Divine Pillar of Heavenly Luck.
The Jade Emperor thought so.
As for other people's rumors that they did not dare to face their peers in the immortal world for fear of embarrassment, the Jade Emperor was able to face it calmly.
He had a deep understanding that if he attained enlightenment, he would not be as simple as a saint, but as the Taoist Master once said, the three deities of heaven, earth and underworld would be the infinite supreme ones.
The Wuji of the underworld is Queen Houtu. Queen Houtu is blessed with the gift of nature and becomes a saint because of her reincarnation. After that, the underworld becomes perfect and the Tao becomes Wuji.
What about you? Tianxin? Tianxin is in the fairy world, maybe you need to go back to the fairy world.
But does the immortal world have its own territory? If I really thought correctly, and my epiphany is Wuji Dao and the law of the immortal world, then where will the Taoist ancestors survive?
All these doubts have caused the Jade Emperor to be confused recently.
There is the supreme Queen Houtu in the underworld, and there is the supreme Taoist ancestor in the immortal world. Is it difficult for me to go to the mortal world to join the Tao?
The key is that the mortal world is not your own enlightened heavenly mind.
Very distressed, the Jade Emperor couldn't figure it out at the moment, but Tathagata happened to come and received him personally.
"Infinite Life Buddha and the poor monks came here for the prosperity of Buddhism, and they came especially to ask the Jade Emperor to make it possible." Sakyamuni said this.
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor has been in retreat recently and doesn't know about Sakyamuni's achievements in the immortal world.
"That's it...the poor monk reached an agreement with the saint in the immortal world, but the spiritual world is ultimately under the control of heaven..."
"I hereby come to ask the Jade Emperor to grant my blessing and help Buddhism prosper."
After Sakyamuni finished speaking, the Jade Emperor was stunned. He didn't expect that Sakyamuni had already done so much.
Originally, the spiritual world is the place controlled by Heaven. It is said that the prosperity of Buddhism is not good for Heaven.
However, it's still the same situation.
Prosperity is inevitable, but rather than this, it makes sense to help.
When Buddhism declines, it is the time for Heaven to take action.
"Okay, I agree!"
Sakyamuni:...?
I thought it would be difficult for the Jade Emperor to explain it to him, but after leaving Heaven for a long time, Sakyamuni was still confused. How could the Jade Emperor be explained to him so easily?
How incredible?
Sakyamuni did not know that the Jade Emperor, who was just a hair away from realizing the Heavenly Mind, was not dissatisfied at all, because the prosperity of Buddhism was the Heavenly Mind and was the general trend. How could he refuse.
What's more, other saints agreed, but Heaven did not agree. This is an unwise move.
The Jade Emperor, who had changed a lot, immediately thought about enlightening Buddhism.
His heart has changed from the vicious and vicious Jade Emperor who was determined to retaliate, to one where he understands his true self and relies on himself for everything.
So, after Sakyamuni walked out of the heaven, he was still thinking about what happened to the Jade Emperor?
Isn’t he the Jade Emperor that he understood in his ‘two lives’!?
