Sumoti also has a more well-known name, that is, the Pure Land of Western Bliss.

The Western Elysium belongs to Amitabha, and Amitabha Buddha is therefore known as the Heng III Buddha together with Shakyamuni Buddha, who is in charge of the central world of sava, and Medicine Buddha, who is in charge of the world of glass light in the east.

Han Buddhism believes that Amitabha Buddha can extradite sentient beings to the world of bliss and get rid of the cycle of suffering with his wish, so it is also called "leading the Buddha".

That's right, it's the lead.

Hearing the guards say that the monk outside the door claimed to be from Sumoti, Chen Jingle found it interesting.

"Let him in!" Chen Jingle said.

"Yes!" the guards hurriedly ran out.

After a while, a young monk dressed in a bad monk's robe walked in, led by his personal guards.

This monk's appearance is estimated to be less than thirty, at most a few years older than Chen Jingle, and his dress is no different from that of an ordinary monk, wearing a red and bad monk's robe.

If there is anything different, it is to return to the basics, and you can feel a back-to-basics charm in him, and every move is natural.

Chen Jingle can't see through the other party's cultivation, which shows that the other party's realm is higher than him.

However, in the face of the great power of Buddhism that is more advanced than his own cultivation, to be honest, Chen Jingle does not feel afraid.

Since the other party appeared openly and openly under the banner of Buddhism, it is impossible to assassinate him, right?

Chen Jingle smiled and asked, "I don't know what the master is called?"

The monk clasped his hands together and replied with a smile: "The poor monk Jialou Liansheng has seen the national teacher. ”

While Chen Jingle was observing him, he was also observing Chen Jingle, but he didn't show it on his face.

In the past few days, the people in Chang'an City have talked about the most hotly, not today, nor the princes, but this young national teacher.

In just half a month, he led the army to recover a number of states, and it seems that he is going to recover the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

When Chen Jingle heard the answer, he did not respond immediately.

The name of Garu Liansheng is actually quite interesting, according to legend, there is a treasure pool of merit in the Western Elysium, and the reincarnated Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the Buddha Kingdom are all incarnations of lotus flowers.

The lotus flower is also the sacred flower of Buddhism.

Chen Jingle asked another question: "Is the master really from Sumoti?"

Garud Rinsheng: "Exactly. ”

"Sumoti is the Western Elysium, isn't it?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Jingle scratched his chin: "It is said that there is only happiness and no suffering in Elysium, in the Buddha Kingdom. There are endless arhats and bodhisattvas.

Since the master is from the Elysian World, is the master an arhat or a bodhisattva, or is it a Buddha?"

Garu Liansheng smiled again: "The poor monk is stupid, and he can only attain the status of an arhat." ”

Chen Jingle was curious: "Then His Holiness is not in your Western Pure Land to be an arhat at ease, and he came to my Eastern Land Datang, what are you doing?"

Jialou Liansheng still had that smiling appearance: "The poor monk came to Pudu for the people of the world this time, but I heard that the Tang Emperor ordered that the temple land and property should be returned to the government, so as to force the monks and nuns to return to the world, and they came to visit the national teacher." ”

"Oh, His Holiness has an opinion on His Majesty's will?" Chen Jingle raised his eyebrows.

Jialou Liansheng turned the Buddha bead in his hand: "People in Buddhism should not interfere with secular people, but I heard that His Majesty the Tang Emperor handed over this matter to the national teacher to deal with, I don't know how the national teacher plans to proceed?"

I thought there could be something else, but I guessed it.

Chen Jingle chuckled: "His Holiness is embarrassed, I don't know much about the current situation of temples in the world, and if you want to start, you have to wait until you have seen and understood the situation." ”

Chen Jingle flicked his clothes: "However, there is something I want to ask the master about the poor road." ”

"Chief, please. Garu Liansheng bowed slightly.

Chen Jingle twisted up the teacup: "I heard that the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain is a land of bliss, as long as you yearn for the Pure Land, you can become a Buddha by chanting Buddha, isn't it?"

Garud Lotus Sheng: "If you are sincere, you will naturally be able to attain bliss." Could it be that the national teacher is planning to take refuge in my Buddha?"

Chen Jingle drank the tea: "Forget about taking refuge in Buddhism, I heard that only those who give up their souls can go to the Elysium." ”

Garu Liansheng's smile disappeared: "Slander the Buddha." ”

Chen Jingle shook his head: "What is slandering the Buddha? If the Tao is not, it is slandering the Buddha, then the Buddha is too stingy, how to be a Buddha?"

If we really talk about slandering the Buddha, the most excessive thing should be those who do all kinds of things in the name of the Buddha to deceive men and women into prostitution, right?

"Amitabha!" said a Buddha name, "These are the tests that the Buddha has put on his disciples. ”

Chen Jingle sneered: "Does the test have to be based on the suffering of mortals?"

"Cause and effect are predestined, the past life is due to the effect of this life, and the present life is due to the effect of the future life. There was no joy or anger in Kalou Liansheng's expression.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "Okay, since the Buddha doesn't care, then I have to take care of it." We have a saying in China, which is called the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!

His Majesty allowed Buddhism to build temples in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and spread the faith, provided that the rules were followed. Since there are people who do not follow the rules and seek their own death, don't complain so much! They also brought on themselves to be liquidated! These people who are dressed in the skin of Buddhist monks and wantonly accumulate wealth are not among them the high-ranking disciples of the Pure Land?"

Garu Liansheng was silent for a moment before he said indifferently: "The national teacher is too angry and full of karma, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to cultivate in the future." ”

"Whether there is a lot of karma, whether it is heavy or not, the way of heaven has the final say! What the Buddha said does not count!"

Chen Jingle laughed.

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so why should we respect the Buddha and list the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, 369, etc.?

The Buddha said that all sentient beings are suffering, and all sentient beings are universal, so why do believers only care about chanting sutras and reciting Buddha?

The Buddha said that the six roots are pure and not stained with red dust, why are there still large-scale temples and golden bodies?

The Buddha said that as long as you devote yourself to the Buddha, you can transcend the cycle of birth and death, but how many people in the world believe in Buddhism, are they detached?"

Mahayana Buddhism is the universal benefit of all sentient beings, everyone has Buddha nature, and everyone can become a Buddha.

However, in Chen Jingle's view, there are many false empty thoughts.

There are also many Buddha natures, and those who become Buddhas are very few after all, but all of them are people with outstanding talents, even if they do not practice Buddhism, they can emerge.

Garud Liansheng pronounced a Buddha name: "The Buddha said that all beings are equal, but he will not be punished for the butcher killing the pig." The repair of the golden body of the temple in Daxing is the work of believers, and it is the embodiment of firm faith. Furthermore, if it were not for the lofty faith given by the Buddha, how could people in the world have the desire to struggle?"

Chen Jingle shook his head and smiled: "I forgot, the best thing in Buddhism is the lotus flower with a tongue." ”

Jialou Liansheng also shook his head: "It's not the poor monk's sophistry, but the national teacher's appearance." ”

Chen Jingle slowly poured himself another cup of tea: "Why do you need to keep the precepts when your heart is peaceful, and why do you need to practice meditation if you are straight? ”

Zen Buddhism pays attention to the clear mind and seeing the nature to become a Buddha, while the Pure Land Buddhism emphasizes yearning for the Buddha country and reciting the Buddha to become a Buddha.

In Buddhism, the great powers have also tried their best to compete for faith.

Perhaps for Amitabha, as long as there is incense and wishing power, why bother to divide it so finely.

Garulian didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "The poor monk thinks that the Taoist chief has a lot of wisdom, so why don't you take refuge in my Buddha?"

"Hahaha......"

Chen Jingle laughed, it was the first time he heard others say that he had Huigen.

He just shook his head: "I don't believe in Buddhism, and I don't think there's any need to believe in Buddhism." Believing in Buddhism cannot make you immortal, it cannot make all your troubles disappear, and it cannot allow you to be promoted to an official position and become rich.

"It is better to believe in Buddhism than to learn Buddhism. Since everyone has Buddha nature and everyone can become a Buddha, why do you still believe in Buddhism?"

What can you do if you believe in the Buddha?

Chen Jingle remembered the monkey who wore a golden hoop and took refuge in Buddhism, and since then there is no Monkey King in the world, and Buddhism has one more fight to defeat the Buddha.
