Nine hundred and twentieth chapters Buddha is the Tao
Thanks to the leader of the sun and moon in the pot and the universe in his sleeves for the reward.
This was the third time He Xie met Ananda.
The first time, Ananda's attitude towards He Xie was slightly cold, but the second time, he was much cordial. This time, Ananda's expression was a bit more solemn.
"No, the World Honored One has issued a decree, asking you to go down the mountain to slay demons and purify my altar." He looked at He Xie and said slowly, "This time the demon is difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, you may be harmed by it.
The World-Honored One is merciful and cannot bear that your whole body of practice will turn into dust, so I specifically want me to ask you first, whether you are willing or not?"
He Xie was silent for a moment and asked, "May I ask, sir, what kind of demon is it?"
"Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle!" Ananda slowly spat out these five words.
He Xie was suddenly shocked.
This answer was both unexpected and shocking to him.
It was expected because when Taibai Jinxing mentioned the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, the follow-up action fell on him, the messenger of the Purification Altar. But he was shocked because he didn’t expect that the Golden-winged Dapeng hadn’t come to trouble him yet, but the Buddha thought first.
Let him destroy this monster.
Ananda had other psychic powers, so He Xie didn't dare to think too much. He looked solemnly and asked again: "This poor monk has heard about it. He is the brother of King Peacock Ming, whom I taught. He has cultivated to the heavens. This poor monk has only a small amount of supernatural powers. He really has no supernatural powers."
Be sure to conquer this demon."
Ah Dao: "You don't need to pay attention to King Peacock Ming. The Buddha will explain it for you. The golden-winged roc, the green-haired lion spirit, the six-tusked white elephant spirit, and the three demons occupy the lion and camel kingdom, entangled with hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters, but
It cannot be underestimated.”
After a pause, Ah Dang said: "No, you have Xumi in your chest and you are a wise man. I won't hide it from you. You are the only one who can subdue the demon this time. You are helpless. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. You can just go back."
Then just seal the mountain in Bukong Mountain and go into retreat. Once the cause and effect of this matter is resolved, it won’t be too late to come out.”
He Xie asked: "If I don't go, who will deal with this monster?"
Ananda looked deeply at He Xie and said, "There is no one."
"Why me?" He Xie asked again.
This time Ananda did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and then said thoughtfully: "I don't understand this matter either. You are the envoy of the altar, and you are responsible for subduing and eliminating demons. Although it is your duty to protect the altar,
But this time, there is indeed something..."
He shook his head and continued: "I asked the World-Honored One, and the World-Honored One replied, who else could conquer the golden-winged roc? No matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is difficult to bear the weight of cause and effect. Only you, the messenger of the Purifying Altar, can act in a justified manner. If
If it succeeds, there will be no cause and effect; if it fails, there will be no calamity of death."
"No cause and effect?" He Xie couldn't help but frown.
"The World Honored One indeed said so," Ananda nodded, "It's not right. Whether this matter goes away or not depends entirely on your thoughts. You don't need to think about anything else, just follow your original intention."
He Xie took a deep breath and said: "Conquering demons and eliminating demons is my long-cherished wish in my life, and this poor monk is willing to go!"
Ananda was surprised, and then relief and joy flashed in his eyes. He spread his face and said, stroking his hands: "Okay, okay, okay! The World Honored One really has a sharp eye, and he did not misjudge you."
"No, this matter is difficult. There are many entanglements of cause and effect. Although I can't advocate for you, I can give you magical treasures to help." Ananda took out a piece of brocade silk and a jewel.
"This magical power is the power of the wish-fulfilling spirit. If you get used to it, your body and mind will be like an illusion. It is not me and there is no self. You can turn your illusory mind into your own wisdom to save sentient beings in other places." Ananda introduced.
He Xie suddenly felt happy. He didn't expect to get this magical power!
This magical foot power is not a method to rush on the road. The so-called Shen refers to thoughts, and Shenzu refers to the magical function of divine thoughts like long feet. Wherever the mind goes, the body transforms. In fact, its biggest effect is change, similar to
The transformation technique of the seventy-two transformations.
"This pearl is the wind-fixing pill. It has infinite magical uses. It can break the wind-generating method of the golden-winged roc's wings. It can also stop the wind and extinguish it to prevent it from escaping." Ananda continued, "These two jewels were personally given by the Buddha.
As for you, if you are not upright, don't let your master's expectations fall short."
"I will obey the law." He Xie looked solemn and took the two treasures.
Ananda nodded and added: "If something goes wrong, in a critical moment, you only need to silently recite the name of the World Honored One three times in your heart, and your life will be saved. Please remember this."
This time He Xie was really surprised.
He has always been very self-aware. He is now a pawn crossing the river. As a chess piece, he has to be aware of being used by others, taking the blame for others, and sacrificing for others. Although He Xie will definitely not be willing to accept such a fate,
But in fact, he has always had a good attitude, because in his opinion, whether it is a chess piece or a chess player, if the game is played well, it is not certain who is taking advantage of whom.
Therefore, the Buddha bestowed upon him magical powers, gifted him magic weapons, and granted him power. He Xie was all happy with it, because he also paid a corresponding price, and everyone just exchanged it for equal value.
But the Buddha promised to save him if he failed and was in danger, which went beyond the scope of equal exchange.
Did Buddha think it would be a pity if his chess piece died?
Or do you really like him?
Ananda "saw" what was in He Xie's heart and said deeply: "It's not right. The Buddha loves those who love themselves. The Buddha saves himself and saves others. Smart people are often misled by their cleverness. This was the case with the Deng Deng Buddha back then, and the same was the case with the Duobao Buddha."
.”
In the first half of the sentence, He Xie was still thoughtful, feeling that what Ananda said was quite Zen-like. But when he heard the names of Lantern Buddha and Duobao Buddha, He Xie's heart suddenly stirred up a storm, and his expression changed.
Become horrified.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down, banished all thoughts, and respectfully clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty taught me, don't dare or forget it."
Ananda took a deep look at He Xie, and all the thoughts in He Xie's mind suddenly disappeared. He still didn't understand that this crooked Arhat had many thoughts that he didn't want him to know.
She is a good baby, but she is a bit too thoughtful.
Ananda shook his head and said, "You can go ahead and settle this matter before the peach banquet. You don't have to tell anyone when you come down the mountain."
"Yes, venerable sir, the poor monk takes his leave." He Xie saluted expressionlessly, turned around and walked out the door, using his body skills to rush towards Bu Kong Mountain.
Still halfway there, He Xie's heart was no longer able to contain the turmoil in his heart!
He figured it out!
Many of the mysteries that entangled him are now suddenly clear!
He originally thought that the current Buddha was the Taoist Duobao of the past, because since he came to Western Buddhism, he had never heard anyone mention the name Duobao. He subconsciously felt that this Tathagata Buddha was the Duobao of the past.
But Ananda's words told him that this was not the case.
Among the myths he knew, after the introduction and mention of the two leaders, Deng Deng Buddha became the first Buddha. Now it seems that Duobao Buddha is the second Buddha.
The person who is now sitting in the Mahavira Hall is the third Buddha at that time.
He Xie is almost certain that this Buddha must have been the one when Laojun came west to Hanguguan to transform Hu Zhengzheng!
In other words, today's Buddha is actually the incarnation of Laojun!
No wonder Buddha would form an alliance with Taishang Laojun!
No wonder Heaven would be in opposition to Buddha!
It’s no wonder that the lamp-burning Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others would spare no effort to oppose the Buddha!
It turns out that everything has a cause, and Buddha is the Tao...
