But he said that Wuxu had a plan in mind, to find Master Wusheng and fly eastward over the sea. In less than an hour, the Japanese Fusang shrouded in gloom appeared in front of his eyes.
At this time, although the sun was blazing in the sky, the sunlight was shining on the sea, creating bursts of brilliant light circles. However, in the Japanese Fuso Islands and even hundreds of miles around, the light in the sky and sea seemed to be distorted and then swallowed up.
.What is left is endless darkness, as if we have reached the end of the world.
Wuxu completely released the yin energy in his body, gathered it under his feet, and turned into a dark cloud. He held a nine-leaf green lotus lamp, recited the mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and flew over slowly.
Master Wusheng seemed to have noticed it for a long time. As soon as Wuxu entered the realm of Nagasaki, Master Wusheng appeared silently in front of Wuxu. He looked at Wuxu carefully, put his hands together, nodded and smiled, "Wuxu
Master, could it be
Have you realized it too?" Having said that, his right hand was in a mudra in the monk's robe, and immediately countless Yin Qi surged in, gathering where the two of them were, blocking the Buddha's light from the nine-leaf green lotus lamp in Wuxu's hand.
between several meters.
Wuxu also stared at Master Wusheng for a moment, and suddenly recited a mantra in his mouth. This mantra was the same mantra that Wuxu received when he entered into samadhi and saw Padmasambhava in Qixia Temple outside Yingtian Mansion. Master Wusheng, listen to it.
His face changed slightly, then he became calm again
He smiled, waved his hand, and instantly moved himself and Wuxu to a cave. Wuxu looked at the cave, and his expression changed slightly. This was actually the place where he had seen his filial son abandoning his mother in the mountains, alone.
Destroy the Dharma Realm and refine the bone sword in the cave.
"Should I call you Master Wu Sheng or Padmasambhava?" Wu Xu finally went straight to the point.
Master Wusheng frowned and clasped his palms, recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, and replied quietly, "The image comes from the heart, why do we need to be so persistent?"
Before Wuxu came, he originally wanted to talk to him carefully about this first, but after looking at the white bones that were vaguely visible in the cave, he recalled his hesitation and despair that day, and endured it.
After a moment of silence, Wuxu clasped his palms together and said, "That day, the young monk had some insights here. Today, the young monk has some ideas and would like to ask the master for advice." At that moment, he summarized the skandhas he had realized in the sea conch.
Interestingly, humans and animals, even flowers, plants, rocks, and even demons and ghosts, are reincarnation and practice. There is no need for such delusional realms as hell.
After listening to this, Master Wusheng pondered for a long time, and then said, "The so-called theory of Yama Luo Palace, the underworld of the underworld, actually originated in the ancient times of China. It has been passed down from generation to generation and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Buddhism spread eastward,
In order to guide good and eliminate evil, there are six ways of convenience.
In the cycle of reincarnation, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has settled in the underworld. With this expedient speech, he can save countless sentient beings. Master Wuxu, if he practices by himself, he can certainly annihilate the Dharma Realm and eliminate good and evil. But if he wants to save all sentient beings, he must
Follow the example of Buddha and make the metaphor of the house on fire."
Wuxu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Master Wusheng to have such a point. He couldn't help asking, "Could it be that this young monk has fallen into the lower realm? Although we want to save all sentient beings and open the door to convenience, why do all living beings have the same truth?
Such ignorance? It should be noted that if there is an additional hell state, there will be an additional path of reincarnation, and there will be an additional obstacle to the salvation of all sentient beings."
Master Wu Sheng said with a smile, "There are many ignorant people in the world. If everyone has the root of wisdom, they can naturally become Buddhas immediately."
Wuxu shook his head, "Although there are many ignorant people in the world, everyone has Buddha nature, wisdom roots, and the possibility of sudden enlightenment. How can we not say that there is no good and evil, and hell is a delusional state?"
Master Wusheng replied, "When people in the world are enlightened, there will be another corresponding method. But if I say there is a hell and you say there is no hell, how can the world follow it?"
"That's a good question, Master!" Wuxu would have expected this question, so he said, "The World-Honored One said in the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra, 'The so-called Buddha Dharma is not Buddha Dharma, it is called Buddha Dharma.' He also said 'If you take the appearance of the Dharma, it will affect the longevity of all living beings. Why? If you take the appearance of the Dharma, it will affect the longevity of all living beings. Therefore, you should not take the Dharma. You should not take the illegality. For this reason, Tathagata always says. Wait for the bhikkhu to know that I am teaching the Dharma, just like the metaphor of a raft. The Dharma should be given up, let alone illegal.'"
The Diamond Sutra is revered as the first of the group of sutras. When Wuxu practiced Buddhism, he gained a glimpse into the Sutra and became most familiar with it. After Wuxu picked up the above chapters and sentences, he immediately asked, "How could the World-Honored One follow the Diamond Sutra like this?" Say yes or not, enlighten all sentient beings. The young monk and the master, one says there is no hell, and the other says there is hell, so why not?"
Master Wusheng gave Wuxu a thoughtful look, and seemed to vaguely guess the meaning of Wuxu's trip. He then said, "Amitabha, in this case, I can remove the netherworldly energy from Master Wuxu's body. But there is one thing. , Master Wuxu must agree."
Wuxu put his palms together and said, "Master, please speak."
Master Wu Sheng looked to the west, "I will land in China soon. Master Wuxu must go with me. He said there is a hell, but he said there is no hell."
Wuxu asked in shock, "Does the master want to turn the Middle-earth continent into the same as the Japanese fusang?! If so, the young monk will hardly agree!"
Master Wusheng laughed heartily, "This place has become the underworld. I am going to land here just to save all sentient beings. If you don't come, I won't leave soon."
After he said these words, golden light flashed all over his body, instantly dispelling the Yin Qi that had been attached to his body, and for a time the cave was illuminated with incomparable brightness. Standing opposite, Wuxu felt that it was just like what he had seen in Qixia Temple when he was in trance that day. , although it has flaws and is dark and hazy, it is extremely majestic.
"It seems that he has also used the bronze mysterious coffin to refine the Mandala Dharma Realm that he took from me to create the Netherworld. He can summon it anytime and anywhere without having to think about it. For such a long time, he I have been studying Fusang in Japan for a long time, and I am afraid that this refined netherworld will not only exist in the Palace of Hell, but also all the eighteen levels of hell!" Wuxu then woke up and looked at Wu with admiration and vigilance. born.
As if to confirm Wuxu's guess, Master Wu Sheng stretched out his right hand and flipped it, and a small slender square box appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand. This square box had a simple shape, glowed with green light, and occasionally released a trace of death. Qi is exactly the bronze mysterious coffin that has been refined to suit one's heart.
Wuxu couldn't help but sacrifice the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, activated it with all his strength, and released circles of Buddha's light, covering himself.
Seeing this, Wu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Master Wuxu, since you say that hell is a delusional state, why bother to activate the Buddha lamp by force?"
Wuxu smiled, but didn't dare to stop.
He was silent and didn't say much. He stood there seemingly motionless, but in fact he was silently reciting the mantra while making a series of Dharma seals with his hands.
Wuxu saw this and was suddenly shocked. Although he didn't know what Wusheng was doing specifically, the seals he made were actually the same set of hand seals that Wuxu had comprehended on the lamp wall inside the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lamp.
, very similar. It was from that set of handprints that understood the lamp wall that Wuxu mastered the method of driving the Buddha lamp.
As Wu Sheng repeatedly made hand seals, the green light glowing from the bronze coffin gradually became more intense, and the subtle and complex patterns on its surface seemed to come to life, floating in the air, surrounding the coffin, constantly changing and dancing. Immediately afterwards
, outside the cave\yin
The wind was strong, and the endless Yin Qi, wrapped in dense ghost shadows, poured in, and then became thinner and smaller, and finally, like a strand of silk, they all fell into the small body in front of Wu Sheng.
Inside the small bronze coffin.
Wuxu's heart moved, and he also made a series of hand seals towards the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in front of him. Immediately, whether it was the bronze mysterious coffin or the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, they all started to rotate rapidly. It was obviously not driven by Wu Sheng and Wuxu individually.
One of these situations.
At the same time, the speed of the Yin Qi ghosts pouring in from outside the cave also accelerated. Some ghosts, seeing the nine-leaf green lotus lantern with the Buddha's light shining, opened their teeth and claws, silently shouting, trying to struggle towards the Buddha's lantern.
Flying in. However, the yin energy is deep, and these ghosts are like mire.
, it’s hard to extricate myself. Wu Xu has some insights, these ghost shadows are the living beings of Fusang in Japan. They have been corroded by Yin Qi for a long time, and they have planted imprints in the inanimate netherworld, otherwise the nine-leaf green lotus lamp will be there.
, they will definitely not all be wrapped up and submerged into the bronze coffin.
When Wu Sheng saw this scene, he was shocked at first, and then relieved. When no more ghosts of Yin Qi poured into the cave and were submerged into the bronze coffin. Wu Sheng then put his palms together and smiled at Wuxu, "I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems,
It is indeed destined that you and I join forces."
Wuxu was puzzled and was about to ask a question. But he heard Wu Shengfu say again, "I use a bronze mysterious coffin to refine your Dharma Realm of Nirvana into the netherworld, which is the hell realm. Although it is in the land of Fusang in Japan, I will deduce it in detail.
Yan, set up ten palaces and Yin soldiers, and even eighteen levels of hell, making this new Netherworld almost the same as the legend. But there is always a barrier that is difficult to crack."
Wuxu was even more puzzled. Upon seeing this, Wu Sheng smiled, stretched out his finger, pointed at the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in front of Wuxu, and softly uttered three words, "The Way of Heaven and Humanity."
The way of heaven and humanity, the way of heaven and humanity...Wuxu recited it silently several times, and suddenly realized that when he was in Lushan, he learned to talk about the cause and effect of good and evil without being born, and visualized the netherworld and hell. After ingesting the souls of innocent or good monks,
At that time, an opportunity arose, and these souls were sent to the Buddhas and others to show the distinction between good and evil. If there is no life in this fusang in Japan, and the hell realm is deduced, there may be a problem in how to deal with it...
Wuxu's guess was right. There is indeed such a difficulty in unexplaining non-life. He thought that Wuxu would agree immediately. But unexpectedly, Wuxu shook his head and replied, "The hell realm and the heavenly realm are both false realms. Wuxu cannot
When talking about the realm of hell, one should not talk about the realm of heaven and humanity.
." His face immediately revealed a sneer, "The five aggregates and reincarnations are all delusional realms, not just the realm of hell and the realm of heaven and humanity. Master Wuxu claimed to be enlightened, but how could he only realize the realm of hell and heaven, but instead realize the realm of humans, animals, and Asuras?
The four paths of hungry ghosts?”
Except for the one-time enlightenment in Zen Buddhism, Buddhist practice pays attention to a gradual process, which in layman's terms is a level. Wuxu came from the 21st century and was deeply influenced by materialism. He realized that humans, animals, asuras, hungry ghosts, etc. are all in the four realms.
The rotation of sentient beings in the four material forms, unlike the hell, heaven and human realms, implies the consciousness level.
Imagine. In addition, Wuxu saw the world without hell in the sea conch in Guanyin Bodhisattva's dojo. Therefore, Wuxu had decided to practice the world without hell. After all, the six paths of reincarnation were missing.
If there are two missing ways, it will be easier to transcend. However, this truth, especially the reason, is not a good way to understand the truth.
Na Wusheng waited for a moment and saw Wuxu standing there without saying a word, pondering endlessly. Fu also pondered for a moment before sighing, "That's all. After I healed Master Wuxu's wounds, I went to the Middle-earth Continent on my own.
That’s it.” After a pause, he looked at Wuxu and said again, “Master Wuxu will definitely have a clever plan by then and won’t just sit idly by.”
Wuxu smiled bitterly, never expecting that Master Padmasambhava, or Master Wu Sheng, would actually behave like this "playing rogue".
To heal himself, he owes a favor and sows a cause and effect. He wants to leave Fusang in Japan and head west to the Middle-earth Continent. He will use the hell realm to discuss good and evil cause and effect, and recreate reincarnation. In terms of emotion and reason, he is here
When people are sent to the eighteenth level of hell, how can I not stay in the Buddha lamp and temporarily establish the path of heaven and humanity for good deeds?
Wuxu clasped his palms together and asked, "In the six paths of reincarnation, although a young monk can lay out the path of gods and humans in the nine-leaf green lotus lantern for convenience, how should the master take care of the other three paths, the human path, the animal path, and the asura path?"
Master Wu Sheng gave Wuxu a meaningful look and sighed, "Master Wuxu saw the nine-leaf green lotus lantern and the bronze mysterious coffin in this cave. Don't you understand yet? Asuras are originally demons; the so-called demons are originally demons.
They are beasts; the so-called humanity should be found in Haoran Peak!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue! Wuxu was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment! What shocked him was not what Wu Sheng said itself, but the huge plate that he had secretly glimpsed.
What a chess piece! The six paths of reincarnation suddenly implicated all the six peaks of Mount Lu.
According to this, the bronze mysterious coffin, the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, the six-ring magic knife, the Haoran Heavenly Book, as well as the fairy sword that was born when the Qingjing Peak of the Dao Gate was opened, and the demon treasures that were born when the Yin Gang Peak was opened, are all in response to this catastrophe.
thing.
Going a step further, the six paths of reincarnation in this world are actually vaguely related to the six peaks of Lushan Mountain, and are related to the battle between heaven and earth!
No wonder you, Master Padmasambhava, want to come down and make such a move in this human world!
Wuxu, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. He even had the idea of turning around and leaving immediately without healing his wounds. However, with the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lamp in his hand, he heard these words again and wanted to leave. Although others did not stop him, he still wanted to leave.
It's just self-deception...
"Which door is that?" Wuxu couldn't walk away. He was digesting the content of the appeal and calculating, and asked unwillingly.
"Daomen!" Wu Sheng put away the bronze coffin, walked out of the cave, and stood under a cherry blossom tree.
The Japanese hibiscus has been eroded by Yin Qi all over, and all living beings cannot avoid it. Now, although the Yin Qi has dispersed, Wuxu looks around, and everything he sees is still dull and desolate. Only this cherry blossom bucks the trend and blooms with vitality.
Vigorous, indescribably gorgeous and beautiful.
"There is a way of heaven in the dark. If you are in harmony with the way, you will live forever and live as long as the sky." Wu Sheng said slowly. When he said "immortal and live as long as the sky", that cherry blossom
, fell one after another, swaying in the wind.
Eventually it turns into dust.
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism! Wuxu had a headache. Frankly speaking, Wuxu was not ready to face it. Facing the cherry blossoms like silk and rain in the sky, he took a step forward, clasped his hands and said, "There are unions and opposites in Dao."
, The Tao is either big or small. If you go against it, you will transcend the Tao and be at ease with your original mind; if there is a big way, such as cause and effect, etc., then you will have a different path to return to my Buddhism."
Wu Sheng looked back, looked at Wuxu steadily and smiled, but he did not get entangled in this issue. He just said slowly under the cherry blossoms, "Although there are contradictions in the way, there are great and small ways. But it is so difficult.
!Walking around in the human world, it looks like exorcising ghosts and demons, but in fact, regardless of good or evil cause and effect, you only respect one way of heaven."
After enlightenment, he was speechless and bowed with his palms together to show that he was taught.
...
Just one day later, all the Yin Qi in the Fusang Islands of Japan disappeared. Two figures rose into the sky, none other than Wu Sheng Wuxu, flying towards the Middle Earth Continent.
Walking to Peach Blossom Island on the edge of the mainland, Wu Sheng suddenly chanted, "But if there is an injustice, I will burn incense and let you know." It was the crazy words Wuxu left on Peach Blossom Island.
Wuxu held the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in one hand and formed the Hua Gai Seal he learned from Wu Sheng in the other hand, which stopped the worry of spiritual energy leaking from the Tianling Point. When he heard Wu Sheng say this, he couldn't help but feel concerned in his heart.
, he slowed down slightly over Peach Blossom Island. A quick glance revealed nothing unusual, let alone any sense of injustice.
Just as he was about to fly by, Wu Sheng stopped and said, "This is the first stop on the westward journey." After saying that, he flew straight down. When Wuxu saw this, he had no choice but to follow him.
Fall down.
This movement naturally alarmed everyone on Peach Blossom Island. At this moment, Peach Blossom Island was under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom. A Buddhist monk flew in the air and hurried over with more than ten people who looked like government officials on the ground.
.Inanimate, as if not seen, just waiting for the mortal beings on the island to come.
On Peach Blossom Island, there were mostly fishermen. They saw Wu Sheng and Wuxu flying down to the island like gods. They brought incense and candles and other things from afar. They also saw the eminent monk who usually managed the island. They were suspicious and frightened.
He stood there without any further hesitation, and set up a table to worship. First, he asked the Immortal to forgive him for the sin of not being far away from him, and then he asked the Immortal to bless Hai Jingbo Ning.
Wu Sheng was sitting solemnly in front of the incense burner and reciting "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra". Then an old woman from the island came forward and started to cry miserably. There was no grievance, only longing. She missed her deceased relatives and looked forward to them.
Can be seen in the underworld.
This is the first problem encountered when we approach the Middle-earth Continent in the west and talk about the hell realm of the six realms of reincarnation! Whether Master Wusheng or Padmasambhava, they had only deduced it in Fusang in Japan before. How could it be possible?
Including the deceased relatives who know this old woman from Peach Blossom Island?
When Wu Xu saw Wu Sheng and was about to cast a spell, he visualized the relatives that the old woman wanted to see in the netherworld. He sighed and said, "This person has passed away. He has entered the six realms of reincarnation due to good and evil consequences. Why should the old woman bother?"
A grudge?"
After hearing this, the old woman burst into tears again. While weeping, she said that her relatives had done good deeds throughout their lives and would definitely join a wealthy family.
Unexpectedly, after thinking about Wu Sheng, he heard the Buddha's call, "Your relatives fished on the sea and killed countless lives. The so-called cause and effect cycle, I am afraid that in the next life, I will become a fish and shrimp in this vast sea, and you will prey on it."
As soon as Wu Sheng said these words, the old woman began to cry bitterly, and everyone else was also frightened.
Wuxu put his palms together and said, "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things like civets. People eat fish and shrimps, tigers and wolves hurt people, the wind blows the waves, and the waves make rain. Be it people, fish or shrimps, or even wind or waves. Today is like this,
Tomorrow will be like that, you become me, I become you, I am in you, you are in me, all going round and round without stopping. But because no one has the longevity of a living being, the true heart is always there."
Wu Sheng Jian Wuxu couldn't help but frown slightly when he said this.
Wuxu, however, pretended not to have seen it. Wu Sheng wanted to talk about the hell realm, and he wanted to talk about the worldless way or even the human way without heaven. From this time I went west with him, it would be like this sooner or later.
This was the first time to grab business. After Wuxu finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Sheng to open his mouth, he immediately recited the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" in front of everyone. After reciting it, he put his palms together again to make a solemn gesture of treasure, and said to everyone
The fishermen chanted a Buddhist verse:
The rebirth of the five aggregates is reincarnation. Don’t be afraid of turning into a ghost after death.
Even if I return to the path of animal Shura, I only need to remember who I am.
