"Let me go, what's wrong with you? Have you become an immortal?" The fat man was startled by my movement next to him, and asked strangely, "Why are you glowing with golden light all over your body? Could it be that you have attained perfection and are about to become an immortal?"
"Bah, becoming an immortal is a euphemism for the death of a Taoist person. Don't curse me to an early death, you crow-mouthed crow." I responded tit-for-tat to the fat man, while feeling a little panicked in my heart. This doesn't look like a normal phenomenon. Where is it?
I didn’t recite Buddhist scriptures when the golden light came, so who was looking for a searchlight on me?
Chanting sutras? Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and something seemed to flash through my mind. I closed my eyes and carefully captured every word that flashed through my mind. After connecting them together, I discovered that this seemed to be a Buddhist sutra.
But it is not the "Heart Sutra" that I am already familiar with. The content is basically completely different and much longer. However, most of the content is very easy to understand. Except for some rare words and Buddhist nouns that occasionally appear, almost all other contents are familiar to me.
All can be read without difficulty.
Compared with the "Heart Sutra", although it is short, concise and concise, there are some contents in it that I still barely understand until now, and I have no idea whether they are special usages of ancient texts or misunderstandings caused by direct transliteration of Sanskrit.
The whole sutra seems to be telling a story. A Brahmin woman with a compassionate heart, like her ancestor Trayasatra preached sutras and sexual matters to her mother, went to hell because she did not believe in cause and effect during her lifetime, and did not respect the Buddha's Dharma. After death, karmic retribution will come.
, the mother who fell into hell gave lectures on sutras and was saved.
The entire sutra describes in detail the structure and mechanism of the underworld of the Buddhist worldview, and also tells the life experience of this female Brahmin monk, as well as her final ambition - "Unless hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha."
Wait, if the hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha? Why do these words sound so familiar? Even if I don’t have much knowledge of Buddhism, I know that this is a famous saying of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Could it be said that this sutra is the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra"? It belongs to the most famous category among various Buddhist sutras.
Because it is said that silently reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra can transcend the souls of the dead and guide them to the land of bliss, so it is widely used.
Why did such a scripture suddenly come to my mind? Could it be that it was hinting at me to save that infant spirit?
When I opened my eyes again, the golden light all over my body was so dazzling that the fat man had to use his hands to cover it so as not to be dazzled. And I felt that my body was involuntarily moving towards the place where only the three souls and seven souls were about to collapse.
Yingling walked away.
The golden light on my body was like a barrier, blocking out all the white light emitted by the ancient mirror in the fat man's hands. A gentle and warm auspicious light surged out of my hands, shrouding the soul that was about to collapse.
"I heard that the Buddha was in the Trayastrim Heaven for a while..."
The first verse came out of my mouth almost completely naturally. I didn’t even need to close my eyes and look deep in my heart, as it seemed to come out of my mouth involuntarily.
"The Great Light Cloud, the so-called Great Perfection Light Cloud, the Great Compassion Light Cloud, the Great Wisdom Light Cloud, the Great Prajna Light Cloud..."
Along with the smooth sutras pouring out of my mouth like running water, I felt the soul in my hands getting lighter and lighter, the whole body glowed with golden light, blue lotus flowers sprouted from the ground, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds filled with sandalwood.
Everything seems so holy.
"Ksitigarbha's original oath, after reviewing the sutras, I found out that the scars and bruises were caused by the previous life. In this life, I will meet the Mahayana, and the benefits will be endless. It is determined that I will be reborn as a Lotus Lotus!"
I felt that there was a big hand in the dark, gently caressing the fragile soul of the infant spirit, slowly crossing the dangerous shoals of the Santu River, avoiding the dangerous evil spirits on the road to the underworld, and finally sending it away.
Entered the Palace of the King of Hell.
The scene in front of me, whether it is an illusion or reality, ends here, and the soul that was originally here has also disappeared. It must have been sent to the underworld, and after being determined and reviewed by the King of Hell and the judge, it will be reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation.
"Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva!" I clasped my hands and chanted devoutly.
"Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva!" A second voice echoed in the air. This time it was not me who recited it, but the voices of many people who seemed to have suddenly gathered around me. When I thought about it carefully, maybe I was being chanted by someone.
The lonely souls and wild ghosts I attracted during my practice all wanted to take this ride and join them in the underworld.
"Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva!" This time the echo was louder, as if it came from the sky, the earth, every tree in the yard, every brick on the house, everything in the world was accompanying me.
After reciting the last sentence of "Namo Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".
After reciting this sentence, I felt that the golden light all over my body quickly faded and restrained, and was all absorbed into my body. I subconsciously observed that the white area in the Bagua, which represents Taoism, was now almost empty.
The golden area representing Buddhism seems to be slightly more depleted than before. It must be because the salvation of the past life just now consumed part of the power of Buddhism.
"Oh my god, you are going to become a Bodhisattva!" The dumbfounded fat man who was watching from the side saw that the golden light on my body finally went out, and then he timidly came closer and said in a tone of admiration,
"You are so fucking awesome. When did you learn the Ksitigarbha Sutra? And you managed to transfer a womb-born soul to another life so smoothly. Many eminent monks who have been reciting Buddhist sutras all their lives have to open an altar to burn incense and recite sutras.
It takes a whole day to transcend the souls of the dead."
Faced with the fat man's praise, I actually felt very guilty, because I couldn't figure out who had just carved this sutra in my heart, which was by no means short, and gave me the gift of salvation for the dead souls, and even sent it directly to me.
The power to go to the underworld without any hindrance on the way.
I just felt like everything just seemed like a frothy dream, and before I even came back to my senses, everything was over.
Generally speaking, the reason why infant spirits are difficult to deal with, besides their resentment and viciousness, is because the underworld will not accept them, so they cannot be saved and can only be killed immediately. Unless some masters with special means can successfully save them in the next life.
And in just a short moment, I had inexplicably mastered this kind of power that many people could only hope to achieve. Not only did I not feel surprised, but I was still a little panicked.
What's going on? Who is using me? Or is it borrowing my body? Or is some great god lending my hand to save the souls of the dead?
At least I know that this is definitely not a simple explosion of my own small universe, just a gift. When I think that there is an unknown powerful being behind me, who can even freely control my actions with every gesture, I feel upset.
