Chapter 67: Dialogue with the Buddha

When he was hazy from suffering, he seemed to have come to a void world, where there was no time, no space, only himself.

He walked forward, and at that moment, there was a picture of a long life in front of him, some people, some people were old, some people were laughing, some people were crying, this life was just a moment, everything seemed to have no beginning, and everything seemed to have no end.

His yesterday, his today, and his tomorrow are all born of countless moments of convergence and merger, but the next moment, they are separated and converged again.

Is there a true eternity in this world? He just saw that everything was flowing like water. It turns out that the real eternity is that moment.

He continued to walk on, and came to a pure and beautiful pond, where red carp swam back and forth in the water, and wonderful mandala ceilings floated in the sky, and there was not a single ripple in the clear pond, and the holy and beautiful lotus flowers were slowly blooming.

Everything here seems so peaceful, and the peace here seems so extraordinary compared to the chaotic world.

His heart became extremely calm, he took a slight breath, looked up again, and saw a cultivator wearing a Tianzhu monk's robe. The cultivator held the bowl and walked barefoot towards him step by step.

The appearance of this cultivator is no different from that of ordinary people, but it looks extraordinary*, and when I see him, I can't help but feel happy. His orange robe was on his right shoulder, and when he looked closer, he could see a pleasant light that was not as dazzling as the sun, but joyful and warm, a joy and warmth that could not be expressed in words and could not be described by imagination.

As soon as he saw this cultivator, he burst into tears and was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

Lying at his feet, he said, "When my disciple meets the great Buddha of compassion and sees your magnificent treasure, it is like seeing the light in the night, and no beautiful words in the world can express one ten-thousandth of the joy in my heart." ”

The Buddha smiled and said, "Master Liku, like you, I am flesh and blood, and I also have retribution. We all have to eat, we have to wash our feet, and if we are sick and need to be healed, I will grow old and I will die. Doctors heal the sickness of the body for the world, and we heal the sickness of the heart for the man......"

Lying at the feet of the Buddha, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart, could it be that he was already dead? He cried and said, "It is not good for the disciple to subdue the demons...... However, the disciple really tried his best...... The Heavenly Demon is too powerful...... He tempts sentient beings to believe in evil and not in the good Dharma, and there is no way for his disciples to stop all this......"

The Buddha helped him up, shook his head slightly, and said, "All beings are ignorant and clinging to their own feelings, and only then will they be in dire straits, and everything is illusory. You...... And not dead. You need to save the common beings, to subdue the heavenly demons, and to preach the good Dharma to all sentient beings......"

He shook his head and cried blankly, and said, "Disciple...... The disciple is dull, the disciple does not have your wisdom, and the disciple is afraid that he will fail your teachings......"

The Buddha said in a merciful voice, "You can do it...... It's just that it's just a little bit close...... The Buddha is a person who has come before, and a person is a Buddha of the future, and I have been as dull as you...... The darkness will pass, and the light will come......"

Looking at the Buddha in distress and confusion, I saw the light in his eyes, as vast as the sea. He asked, "Great Buddha, what should I do?...... Please teach your disciples!"

The Buddha said, "Love is the best offering for all living beings......

After a long time of groaning, he said, "Love...... You said that all living beings have Buddha nature, but they can't attain it because of delusion and attachment. Buddha, how can we teach sentient beings to distinguish between good and evil?"

The Buddha said, "There is no good or evil in man, good and evil only exist in the human heart." ”

Liku bowed his head and said: "The Heavenly Demon manipulates the desires of all beings, and he lets greed blind the hearts of the world, and his power is endless......"

The Buddha said, "Because sentient beings do not know themselves, they do not know love." It's the same with you, Master Liku, you haven't found yourself yet. ”

"Self?"

The Buddha said, "You have love in your heart, but you dare not love ......"

Li said ashamedly: "Disciple...... The disciple has committed the great precepts...... The disciple is on the way to seek the Tao, there are ...... There is a disability...... The disciple's heart felt very lonely and confused for a while...... Negative Buddhism, negative to your teachings......" He thought of all kinds of causes with Pan'er and Hongying, and at this time, in front of the great Buddha, he couldn't help but feel remorse, and couldn't help but kowtow to the Buddha incessantly.

The Buddha smiled and helped him up again, and he brushed away the tears from the corners of his eyes like a loving father, and said, "I know...... I know...... You meet someone you can love, but you don't dare to love. Every heart is born lonely and broken. Most people spend their lives with this kind of incompleteness, because when they meet the other half who can make them complete, they either miss it by negligence or have lost the right to own him. ”

The Buddha's remarks were unheard of, and they were completely different from the Buddhism that the old Zen master had heard since childhood.

The Buddha then said, "Do happy things with lovers, and don't ask if it's karma or fate." ”

His trembling lips kept trembling, and the words of the Buddha pierced into his fragile heart, and he couldn't help but shed tears again, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The Buddha looked at him intently and said, "Venerable Light, tell me, what is compassion?"

"Compassion and compassion." To wish to give happiness to all sentient beings is called compassion, and to remove the suffering of all sentient beings is called compassion. Great Buddha, to heed your teachings is compassion. ”

The Buddha shook his head slightly and said, "Venerable Light, the compassion you are talking about is the compassion of the economy, and what I ask you is the true feeling in your heart...... You have to feel ...... with your heart."

He looked at the Buddha blankly and muttered, "Compassion ......"

The Buddha said, "When you truly feel compassion, you have attained truly powerful supernatural powers, and the heavenly demons have nothing to fear......

He said in confusion: "Great Buddha, please teach your disciples......

The Buddha waved his hand at him and said aloud, "Great compassion without tears, great enlightenment without words, laughter without sound." Great compassion is endless compassion, so it cannot be described in words, and great enlightenment is the opening of great wisdom, and this wisdom cannot be expressed in words...... Please feel ....... with your heart."

Suddenly, everything around me gradually dissipated like a bubble, and the figure of the Buddha gradually dissipated.

Frightened, he rushed forward excitedly, but there was nothing.

A look of fear appeared on the face of the Heavenly Demon, and he looked ahead in astonishment, and in an instant, the bare land was full of flowers and lush greenery, and a group of demons and demons crawled back into the abyss of hell.

Guru Xinlian calmly walked towards the Heavenly Demons, with Emperor Shakti and Hongying as their companions, and the Four Heavenly Kings surrounded them to protect the Dharma, and the raging army of Asuras rushed towards the Dragons and Yakshas, a group of demons and demons.

The Heavenly Demon's eyes widened, his fists clenched, this time, he lost the calm and calm of the Lord of the Desire Realm, rode the fire dragon, and flew into the sky in a panic.

He pointed at Xinlian and shouted at Emperor Shakti, "Emperor Shakti, who is this monk?"

Emperor Shakti raised his head and glared at the Heavenly Demon, and shouted, "Heavenly Demon! This Heart Lotus Master is the embodiment of the Buddha, and your end has come!"

The Heavenly Demon pointed at Emperor Shi with his teeth and claws, and said, "*Heavenly King, you are the Heavenly Emperor who is high above, why should you deign to an old monk? Aren't you afraid that he will take your Heavenly King throne?"

Emperor Shakti snorted, and suddenly raised his head and roared, only to see a third eye appear between his eyebrows. This eye, shining with golden light, shone like a morning star, shining on the earth.

He read aloud: "Heavenly Demon, your tricks have not worked for me! Today, I will let you see the highest meaning of my Emperor's Buddha! Take refuge in all such beings, the Lord of all things, and complete your accomplishment!"

Suddenly, a huge spell appeared in the sky, turning into a torrent, like a galaxy, struck towards the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon gritted his teeth and roared, "Emperor Shakti's Falling Seal!"

He roared, and this roar was like a roar from the thousands of demons in hell, only to see the heavenly demon leap up from the fire dragon, stretch out his hands, and catch the seal of the falling sky.

Emperor Shi exclaimed: "He ...... He actually caught my Falling Seal with his hand!"

The Heavenly Demon turned around and shouted, "Emperor Shakti, you are as ignorant as that immovable old man! My power is endless!" He stretched out his arms wide, held up the Falling Seal of Emperor Shakti, and threw it back at him.

Seeing this, Rahu hurriedly jumped up, waved a huge fist, and struck him head-on.

There was a loud "bang", and Rahu and the seal of the falling sky collided violently. At that moment, Rahu couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his arms, and then, as if his whole body was falling apart, the powerful magic power of the emperor was like the whole sky falling, and it could crush everything in the world.

Luo Hu thought in surprise: "I didn't expect that the divine power of the Emperor Shakti Heavenly King is so powerful! Although he has the power to open the world, he still can't reach it......" For a while, his heart was disheartened, his consciousness was confused, and he was violently ejected in an instant, and fell on top of a huge mountain range. This violent force smashed this huge mountain range to pieces.

Hongying screamed, and flew up in panic to rescue Rahu.

Seeing this, the many asura armies became furious, and they raised their giant axes and broadswords and rushed towards the heavenly demons.

The Heavenly Demon narrowed his eyes, and the Six Demon Hooks stretched out to the edge of the sky again, shouting, "My children and grandchildren, I want more...... I want more...... Da to step on the ...... Da to Rulu ...... Ahma-la-la-...... Dala ...... Swaha......"

Hongying picked up the injured Rahu, looked back, and saw that the edge of the sky suddenly rushed up to suppress groups of yaksha and rakshasa demons, and then, in the direction of the heavenly kingdom, the huge iron gate opened again, and another wave of fierce warriors, they brought poisonous insects and monsters, rushed towards them.

The breath of death once again shrouded the sky, fiercely glued together with the heavenly auspicious light of the heart lotus.

The Heavenly Demon said loudly: "My demon sons and demon grandchildren, deal with this group of asuras!"

Hongying gritted her teeth fiercely, and was about to fly to pounce on the Heavenly Demon, when she was suddenly pressed by a warm hand on her shoulder, only to hear Xinlian say: "Don't move yet, let the old monk come." ”

Xinlian took a step forward and looked up at the Heavenly Demon with teeth and claws, his mortal body, in front of the huge shadow of the Heavenly Demon, was like a small grass, crumbling, as if as long as the Heavenly Demon raised his foot, he could be crushed to pieces.

Emperor Shakti hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Master, be careful!" As he spoke, a white light flashed and he came to Xinlian's side to protect the Dharma.

Seeing this, the four heavenly kings also rushed forward, stationed in the four corners of the east, west, north and south, and surrounded the heavenly demons.

The Heavenly Demon laughed and said, "Old monk, you have such a big shelf! Do you have any real skills?"

Xinlian smiled slightly, turned her head to Emperor Shakti, and said, "Emperor Shakti, the old monk is not in the way, I want to talk to Mo Luo." ”

Emperor Shi looked at the Heavenly Demon nervously and said, "Master, what do you want to say to the Heavenly Demon?

Xinlian suddenly sat cross-legged, folded her hands and said, "Mo Luo, do you know who you are?"

The Heavenly Demon was stunned for a moment, looked at Xinlian with wide eyes, and said, "What are you talking nonsense about this old monk? I am the God of the Sixth Heaven of the Desire Realm." I am the God who rules over all the earth!"

Xinlian said: "Moluo, you used to be the Great Bodhisattva of the Ten Lands, and in the past, you were able to become the Lord of the Six Brahmas because of the merits of offering to the Buddha. So, you have the same power as the Buddha. It's just that because of your own limitations, you often talk about the wrong Fa and lead people astray, and later, you gradually fall into the devil's path. ”

Black and red blood gushed out from the Heavenly Demon's eyes, and countless ghostly demons poured out of his eyes. He looked at Xinlian like a madman, and said, "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be a stinky monk?"

Xinlian said: "Moluo, in that Dharma era, there was a Prince Siddhartha who came to the Bodhi tree to realize the Buddhahood, and you were afraid that Prince Siddhartha would truly become enlightened and get out of your control. You are afraid that the beings of the Desire Realm will learn the Prince's method and thus get out of your control. You want to prevent the prince from becoming a Buddha, so you send three witches to tempt the prince, one is lust, one is pleasure, and one is greed. The witch did her best to tease and flatter the prince in front of the vajra throne, but the prince was deeply still, turned a blind eye, and was unmoved.

When you saw that the witch's temptation was unsuccessful, you were very angry, so you used your great powers to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals, the poisonous dragon Yaksha, and the hungry demons, and released poisonous snakes and rockets, threatening the prince to return to the palace immediately to enjoy a life of glory and wealth, otherwise, you will let the prince die without a place to be buried.

However, the prince devoted himself to meditation and did not waver. You ordered all the demon swords and arrows to fire together, but the prince's body was pure, and all the weapons turned into smallpox falling all over the sky in front of the prince, and all the weapons could not get close to the prince's body at all. ”
