Chapter 78: Six Realms of Reincarnation
"Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva ......"
"Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva ......"
"Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva ......"
In the chaotic chanting, Wang Dinghe's Guanyin Bodhisattva holy name quietly rose. There was no way, he could only recite Avalokiteshvara, which was the simplest way he had learned to recite the Dharma since he was a child living in the temple. Moreover, as long as he is in a hurry, annoyed or unhappy, as long as he recites Guanyin Bodhisattva, all of them will turn evil into good fortune, and they will become auspicious in trouble, and they will be tried and tried.
Wang Ding and Guanyin, that can be read into the concentration, into the illusion of life and death, his mind is strong, the Buddha's single-mindedness, is not worse than the Buddhist master Dou Deadwood.
Sure enough, just when Wang Dinghe just recited Guanyin Bodhisattva, the entire Liuhe Great Array, the magnetic field of chanting Buddha formed by tens of thousands of monks, actually trembled slightly. It's like a big net of several hundred meters falling to the ground, as soon as Wang Dinghe's Guanyin holy name came out, it was like a breeze blowing, and the big net on the ground actually moved.
When Wang Dinghe read that his heart was calm and his breath was stable and long, the big net on the ground was actually like being swept up by a strong wind, and there were signs of being helped up. Of course, there is not really a 100-meter net on the ground, what we are talking about is the subtle changes in the surrounding magnetic field.
The five old monks including the deadwood master in the eyes of the array, of course, also felt the subtle changes caused by the Liuhe Great Array that had collapsed just now, one by one, although they still had to stop their hearts and chant Buddhas, but their voices and momentum were obviously much stronger than just now.
The Great Array of Six Harmony is actually developed from the Sangha idea of "Six Harmony and Respect", when Shakyamuni Buddha became sanctified, he began to preach the Dharma, and for a time he was thousands of disciples and grandchildren. But this forest is so big, and there are all kinds of birds! How should so many people of all kinds, especially monks who don't even want their homes, get along? They don't accept anyone except the Buddha, and sometimes they don't even pay attention to the Buddha.
Therefore, in order to do a good job in the management of the Sangha, the Buddha put forward six basic principles, or six points of discipline and six points of attention, to standardize the daily relationship of monks. That is: the body and dwelling together, the mouth and the non-false, the mind and the same joy, the precepts and the same initiate, the seeing and understanding, and the benefit and the same.
Translated into the vernacular, it is: 1. Everyone lives together, don't fight, and live together. Second, everyone lives together, don't quarrel, and don't be honest. 3. Everyone is here to learn Buddhism, to learn happily, and to be happy with each other. Fourth, everyone practices together, and if you want to keep whatever precepts you want, you can keep all the precepts, and if you don't eat meat, then it will be chaotic, or if you keep the precepts and some don't, then you will definitely not be able to keep them, and you will definitely not be able to keep the precepts. Fifth, everyone listens to the Dharma together, no matter what opinions they have, the discussion is a discussion, but in the end, it is necessary to focus on what the Buddha said, see and understand together. Sixth, everyone is mixed together, what are the benefits, it must be divided equally, and the benefits are equal.
Of course, these are the six basic principles of peaceful coexistence that the Sangha put forward when it was first established, just like the management regulations issued by Zhang Ruimin when he first went to Haier Group: 1. Do not defecate in the workshop. Second, you can't steal factory things and go home. These are the basic ideas of the junior management stage. Later, Haier Group became the world's most perfectly managed large enterprise group, and what was written in the employee handbook would definitely not be the same: no open defecation in the workshop.
And Buddhism has experienced nearly 3,000 years of development, especially in the Han and Tang Empires, it is even more awesome. The Sangha of the Pure Land Sect was able to directly invoke the powerful wish of Amitabha Buddha through collective chanting of the Buddha, and once one of them flew to the Western Elysium, those who recited the Buddha with him before would have an acquaintance in the Elysium, and it would be easier to be lured away.
As a result, the development of the Sangha idea of "Six Harmony and Respect", coupled with the Five Sutras of the Pure Land Sect and the powerful wish of Amitabha Buddha, formed the highest formation of the Pure Land Sect - the Six Harmony Great Array.
It can also be said that the Six Harmony Great Array is a powerful method that uses the core scripture of the Pure Land sect, the Five Classics, to inspire the power of wishes, forcibly wrap up karma, go directly to the West, and enjoy the Elysium. The Five Sutras are those of the Pure Land Sect: "The Sutra of Amitayus", "The Sutra of Amitayus", "The Sutra of Amitabha", "The Great Trend to the Bodhisattva Chanting the Buddha Yuantong Chapter", "The Bodhisattva of Fuxian Performing Wishes" and "The Theory of Passing Away".
To put the six harmony array, it is necessary to have six eminent monks and great virtues to recite the Five Classics. And last time, what made Wang Dinghe read was the simplest and most untechnical "Theory of Death".
But Wang Dinghe couldn't even read the simplest and most basic "Theory of Death", so he jumped off the wall in a hurry, and could only read the Guanyin Bodhisattva he was most familiar with.
With the voice of his Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Liuhe Great Array really moved. The five old monks immediately cooperated very well with the five Buddhist scriptures of the Immeasurable Sutra.
But just when the Liuhe Great Array was restarted, and the magnetic field in the Dongyue Temple was re-supported by the Buddha, there was a sudden "bang", like a bubble meeting fire, and the magnetic field that had just been supported collapsed to the ground again, and it was a slump, and it could no longer be raised.
What is going on? It turned out to be Wang Dinghe's Guanyin Bodhisattva, the more he recited, the more he became fascinated, and the louder he recited, the more the monks outside the array heard it.
"Where did the Guanyin Bodhisattva Buddha come from?" The peripheral monks who set up the array to chant the scriptures, where did they go through such a change, and they were all stunned. That is, this stunned kung fu, the great array collapsed, and the countless ghost souls attracted by the array were still intoxicated in the peaceful and pure nest formed by the Buddhist singing sound, and suddenly for a while, the bed collapsed and scattered, how could they not run away in fright, and dispersed in a hurry!
The demons fled, unstoppable. Wang Dinghe only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then in the eyes of the sky, he saw hundreds of ghostly figures rushing towards him. Before the temporary period, as long as you can still recite "Amitabha" three times, then Amitabha Buddha will personally come and pick you up and go to the Western Elysium. I don't know where I saw the theory, anyway, at the moment of life and death, this thought flashed in Wang Dinghe's heart.
"Nam no Amitabha-"
"Nam no Amitabha-"
"Nam no Amitabha-"
Three times in a row, Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha shouted out from Wang Dinghe's mouth almost miserably, because he was afraid that Amitabha Buddha would not hear.
Like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and like a fire dragon in the dark night, Wang Dinghe's sentence "Nan Wu Amitabha" reminded all the people present. These monks were originally disciples of the Pure Land Sect, and they practiced the Dharma and recited the Buddha for a lifetime.
No matter what kind of body and dwelling together, benefiting and dividing equally, a thousand people have a thousand thoughts, and no matter how many scriptures they read, they cannot unify everyone's thoughts. However, everyone's thoughts on reciting Amitabha Buddha in order to be reborn in the Western Elysium were unified in this moment of life and death.
Tens of thousands of monks who have been reciting the Buddha's name all their lives, at the same time and in the same place, showed the devotion of their lives and recited in unison "Nam no Amitabha". What kind of scene is this? What kind of magnetic field is this? What kind of power is this?
This is an unstoppable scene of unity! This is a magnetic field that breaks the void and changes the heavens and the earth! This is also a force that opens the six realms of reincarnation!
