The battlefield is not just here, but at the same time, there is another world.
Brahma Pure Heaven.
The world of Brahma Pure Heaven is a world governed by religion.
People in this world advocate Zen, and everyone worships Buddha. It is the royal power that governs the world, but the royal power must also bow to religion, which is similar to the system of divine right of kings.
Men here must have the experience of becoming a monk after they reach adulthood. The time of monkhood can be long or short, but it must be at least three thousand years before they can return to the secular world. This is also stipulated in the law.
Brahma Pure Heaven is not monolithic. Different temples form Buddhist kingdoms with different powers. Lingshan is the head of the ten thousand temples of Brahma Pure Heaven.
Brahma Jingtian's martial arts civilization is very developed, which is the reason why Brahma Jingtian has never been eliminated by Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But it has always been weak in terms of technological development.
A huge sacred mountain passed through the forbidden land at an astonishing speed and entered the Brahma Pure Heaven. .??.
This sacred mountain is the Kunlun Sacred Mountain!
Kunlun Mountain hosts nearly one billion Kunlun's regular troops, as well as many reserve troops.
The purpose of Kunlun Mountain is Lingshan, one of the five sacred mountains of Hongmeng, and the center of Brahma Pure Heaven.
Inside the Lingshan Mountain, the Lord of the Lingshan Mountain is giving a lecture, and there are countless golden Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas sitting on both sides.
There are countless monks below who are listening to Buddhist teachings.
"All sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot attain enlightenment just because of delusional thinking and persistence."
"Although all sentient beings are suffering, they all have the factors to become a Buddha and possess the Taoism. However, all sentient beings live in a confusing illusion. It is difficult for them to discover their true self and the truth about food, which leads to their lives in suffering.
I am in the middle but I don’t know the pain.”
"Under the influence of causes and conditions, we repeatedly create and repay karma!"
A disciple who was holding the treasure seal asked: "May I ask, respected master, how to help sentient beings become enlightened?"
The Lord of Lingshan picked up the flower and smiled: "As we all know, the suffering of all living beings comes from karma, which is also a barrier to becoming a Buddha. Whether it is bad karma or good karma, we need to repay it. When the repayment is completed, there will be no bondage of causes and conditions, and the mind will be pure.
Enter the Pure Land and put an end to delusions and attachments."
"As long as a person has no delusions and attachments in his heart and is not burdened by fame, profit, sex, and desire, his Tathagata wisdom and virtue will be manifested, so he will not be led by anything."
"The heart will be like pure water without impurities, and you will be able to see things clearly, gain true knowledge and insights about things, and live in the real world."
"Knowing the illusion is the moment it is separated. There is no false convenience. The illusion is the awakening. There is no gradual process. When delusions and attachments are removed, everyone can achieve true enlightenment. Not a single thought can arise, a single thought cannot be extinguished, a single thought is overwhelming, and the mind is crazy.
If you rest, resting means enlightenment."
All the disciples chanted in unison: "Amitabha——"
Suddenly, the Lord of Lingshan pinched his fingers slightly and said calmly: "A Taoist friend has come from afar -"
Outside Lingshan, there was a roar in the space, and a huge sacred mountain appeared slowly. Its size was not weaker than Lingshan.
Outside Lingshan, an extremely huge Dharma, Heaven and Earth appeared.
I saw a golden giant emerging. This golden giant was the dharma body of the Lord of Lingshan. It was like the sky and the earth. He was sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, with his hands pinched and placed on his knees.
The Kunlun Mountain also stopped, and several figures walked out of the Kunlun Mountain.
The tail clone of the Sky Fox that carries Xiang Chen’s thoughts, the Kunlun Emperor, and the Virgin of the West Ling!
"Amitabha, it's great to have friends from far away. Fellow Taoist Kunlun and fellow Taoist Xiling, we haven't seen each other for many years. The two of you next to us are fellow Taoist Xiang Chen from the Great Desolate Alliance."
Kunlun Emperor said: "I have not seen you for many years, my Taoist friend. The three of us came here today to ask for a Dharma word from your Taoist friend."
The Lord of Lingshan asked calmly: "I wonder if my friend is here to ask for advice on Taoism or martial arts?"
Our Lady of Xiling sneered: "It can be Taoism. If we can't agree, it can also be martial arts!"
Xiang Chen smiled and said: "Senior, I'm here to ask you for advice on how to save all sentient beings!"
The Lord of Lingshan said: "Since we are here to ask for a way to save all sentient beings, why do fellow Taoists come here with murderous intent?"
Xiang Chen shook his head: "No, the seniors saw monstrous murderous intent, but the juniors saw the future peace of the world."
The Lord of Lingshan smiled and asked: "Conquer a place with brute force, formulate rules, and all living beings follow them. Is this the way for Taoist friends to bring peace to the world and save all living beings?"
Xiang Chen asked back: "How can I ask my predecessors how to achieve peace in the world? To govern the world through education is equivalent to watching the moon in the water. However, human nature is full of different forms. Some people are born evil and some are good. Without rules, how can a good person do it?
Can you fight against evildoers?"
"If we let nature take its course, the good people in the world will be like living Shura purgatory, while the evil people will never restrain themselves and pursue more evil!"
The Lord of Lingshan said: "I can't refute what my fellow Taoists say. The Imperial Way and the Bodhi Way are not the same way after all."
Xiang Chen said: "No, I think that the Emperor's Way and the Bodhisattva Way are both different paths leading to the same goal. The Bodhi Way teaches people to let go of their obsessions, put down the butcher's knife, and practice themselves to improve their souls. However, there are always some people who cannot be taught, and it is difficult for those who do evil to realize their own mistakes.
evil."
"The way of the emperor does not lie in satisfying ambition, power and desire, but in peace in the world. Only when the world is peaceful and material is satisfied can the people's spirits be rich and they can pursue their own pure mind and Bodhi."
"Here I would also like to ask my seniors, since they advocate the equality of all living beings and the method of universal salvation, why did they send monk soldiers to attack our Great Desolate Alliance?"
The Lord of Lingshan said: "The people of Lingshan went into the wilderness to spread the law and protect the local people. It was not to bring war. However, the explanation of the poor monk is meaningless. I am afraid that fellow Taoists will sneer at it."
Xiang Chen said calmly: "I understand what senior means. Senior believes that the people from Brahma Jingtian are involved, and the land they occupy can at least avoid the killings and massacres like other ancient forces.
And that’s not what our Prehistoric Alliance has done. In the areas under the jurisdiction of our Prehistoric Alliance armies, the people live and work in peace and contentment, with laws to follow and evil being punished. Isn’t this to save all sentient beings?”
"Everyone has Buddha nature, but not everyone can awaken. Those who realize themselves cultivate their minds, and those who practice practice cultivate self-discipline. In the end, the method of universal salvation of all sentient beings by our predecessors can only save a small number of people."
"Not everyone can survive in this world by themselves."
The Lord of Lingshan said: "Among all the forces in the nine heavens and ten lands today, all parties are for fame and fortune. The prehistoric alliance is for the benefit of the people. This poor monk can still see clearly."
"However, my method requires soil like Fanjingtian. Fanjingtian can join the ancient alliance system, but the monks and soldiers of Fanjingtian will not join the army of the ancient alliance to fight and kill in all directions. I wonder if Taoist Xiang Chen will accept this?"
Xiang Chen was a little surprised that the other party was willing to join the Prehistoric Alliance so easily?
However, the other party's request is that they will not send troops to help the Prehistoric Alliance fight everywhere.
The Emperor of Kunlun and Our Lady of Xiling were also surprised. They both thought that they would have to at least have a fight before they could sit down and talk. Unexpectedly, after a verbal negotiation, the other party agreed to be included in the prehistoric alliance system.
