Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 155: Jizo's Ambition (II)
The holy woman said, "Although Mother is kind in this world, Mother does not believe in cause and effect, and often ridicules and slanders the Three Jewels, and it is a great sin to slander a good person in the world, let alone slander the Supreme Three Jewels."
Suddenly, the saint heard a voice from the air and said, "Don't be sad, saint, I will tell you where your mother is now." The saint hurriedly asked, "Who is the great master with divine power to relieve my worries, since my mother died, I have been thinking about my mother day and night, I don't know where she was born, and no one can ask who you are."
Can you really tell me where my mother is?" said a voice in the air: "I am the Juehua Dingzi Wang Rulai whom you are offering prayer for, and I see that you miss your mother very deeply, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and you miss your mother so much, so I will tell you where your mother is."
The saint said happily: "Great, this ......" As soon as she said this, the saint suddenly fell to the ground. Miaorong, Yu Lan picked up the saint, while shouting the name of the saint, while shaking awake, after the saint woke up, Miaorong and Yu Lan asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you" The saint slowly helped herself to stand up.
Then he said, "Ah, I'm so excited, Juehua is at ease Wang Rulai, you are really merciful, please tell me quickly, where my mother was reborn after she died" A voice from the air said: "After you make offerings to the Buddhist temple, go back to your home, sit upright and meditate on my name, and you can know where your mother is." The saint replied, "Ah, great, quick, Yulan, Miaorong, help me back."
After the saint returned home, she sat in front of the Buddha hall every day and worshiped Juehua Dingfu Wang Ru. One day, the saint suddenly noticed that the lamp was dimming, and the sound of the tide and shouts sounded in her ears. The saint hurriedly asked, "Where did I come to the sea, how can I save so many people from falling into the sea?"
Ah, there are these monsters to eat them, oh, it's pitiful, monsters, go quickly, don't bite them! At this moment, the ghost king walked up to the holy woman and said, "Holy Maiden, why have you come here?" the holy woman asked, "Where is it?" and the ghost king replied, "This is the first sea on the west side of the Great Iron Fence Mountain."
The saint asked, "I have heard that there is a hell in the mountains surrounded by the Great Iron Fence, is this true?" The ghost king replied, "It is indeed a hell, and this is where the hell is." The saint said, "Oh, how did I come to hell?"
The ghost king replied, "If the beings who come to hell are not from the power of the gods, they must be the relationship of creating bad karma, and karma has caused them to come, and there is no other power that can come to hell." The holy woman asked, "Why is the water boiling here, what is the matter with these suffering people and these evil beasts?"
The ghost king replied, "These are the beings of Yan Futi, they have created a lot of bad karma, they have just died, they didn't do any good when they were alive, and after they died, no one has dedicated the merits of their cultivation to them, so they have to go to hell to suffer."
Before going to hell, you have to go through this sea, and there is another sea on the east side of this sea, which is more bitter, and on the east side of that sea, there is another sea, which is even more bitter, and this is because these sentient beings, their language, and their minds have created a lot of negative karma, so this sea is called the sea of karma.
Then the saint asked, "Why, where hell is I not see?" replied the ghost king; Hell is in the middle of these three seas, and it's a very, very bitter place. The saint asked, "My mother just died, and now I don't know where she has been reborn."
The ghost king asked, "Holy Maiden, what did your mother do when she was alive?" The holy woman said, "My mother has an evil opinion and slanders the Three Jewels, and even if she believes in the Three Jewels for the time being, she immediately believes them disrespectfully. The Ghost King asked; Holy Maiden, what is your mother's name"?
The holy woman replied, "My parents are of the Brahmin race, my father's name is Sharashanxian, and my mother's name is Yuedili. The ghost king said: "Holy Maiden, please go back, don't worry about sorrow anymore, Yue Dili has already given birth to Tiansan!"
Because of the relationship between Yuedili's daughter and her mother's offering to the King of Juehua Dingzi Rulai Pagoda Temple, not only the holy woman's mother was freed from the suffering of hell, but also the sentient beings who suffered together in the Infernal Hell on this day received the happy fruit of ascending to heaven!" After the ghost king finished speaking, he left with his palms together with the holy woman.
The holy woman clasped her palms together and said, "Juehua is at ease with Wang Rulai, your virtue is truly incomparable, and I hope that from now on, I will do everything possible to liberate all sentient beings who have created sinful karma and suffered all kinds of suffering." As long as there are sentient beings in hell suffering, I will never become a Buddha, and I will not become a Buddha until all of them have become Buddhas.
The Buddha said to Manjushri at this time: "The holy woman who repaid her mother's great kindness at that time is the current Jizo Bodhisattva, and since the past immeasurable eons, the Jizo Bodhisattva has made such a great wish countless times, Manjushri, you billions of great Bodhisattvas should learn the spirit of Jizo Bodhisattva." Manjushri and all the Bodhisattvas said in unison, "Yes, World-Honored One, we are obedient and will do as you say."
The Buddha met the King of Jizo and said, "Jizo, Jizo, your divine power is incredible, your compassion is incredible, your wisdom is incredible, your eloquence is incredible, and the Buddhas of the ten directions come together to preach your inconceivable things, and you can't finish it for hundreds of thousands of years." Therefore, Jizo, today I have entrusted all sentient beings in the future to you, you can help me take good care of them, and don't let them fall into the Three Evil Realms."
Jizo Bodhisattva stood up from his seat and knelt down to the Buddha with his palms folded and said, "World-honored One, please don't worry about future sentient beings, even if they only have one reverence for the Dharma, I will use millions of conveniences to save them from the pain of birth and death!"
What's more, when they hear about the Dharma and recite the practice, as long as people have a good mind and recite my name, I will protect them and guide them out of danger and toward happiness."
The Buddha said, "Jizo, I am relieved when you say this, I will soon enter Nirvana, and from the time I attain Nirvana to the time Maitreya becomes a Buddha, these sentient beings have been entrusted to you, and you must liberate them all and leave the suffering of the three evil realms forever!"
Speaking of this, Jizo Bodhisattva quietly stopped. He turned to the crowd and asked, "Amitabha, how much can you feel from this story?"
Yang Zhuochao asked a little embarrassed: The ..... Bodhisattva: I would like to ask you about how you became a bodhisattva yourself. I can understand this, but why are you a female character in the story.....?
.....Yang Zhuochao stopped talking, he pointed back and forth at the Dizang Bodhisattva, then at himself, and at Cailing and Murong Feixue.....!
Jizo Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Is there any difference between a man and a woman?" There is no other distinction between a bodhisattva! For example, "Guanyin Bodhisattva" has a male and female appearance, with 33 phases. This does not affect her to benefit all living beings.....
I am a Buddha with compassion, and although I do not have the boundless power of the Bodhisattva of Contemplation, I have a heart that is devout to the Buddha! That is, "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha"!
As the saying goes: In the past, the Dharma was clear, and now Guanyin. Reaching the realm of the Buddha, it has been proved that it is ultimately equal, and it is of great use, neither male nor female, male or female, without appearance, but can manifest all kinds of appearances, and the Buddha has vast magical powers, and can manifest himself freely in the realm of the Ten Dharmas.
Yang Zhuochao scratched his head and said: "Bodhisattva Great Wish, we have been taught! Because we are entrusted by others, we have to rush to recover the lost soul and soul of the Great God of Fuxi as soon as possible. Could I ask your mount to tell us where the soul is, but can I wait until next time to listen to the Bodhisattva's teachings?
Jizo Bodhisattva smiled and replied: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, and you are able to be entrusted by people to be loyal to people!" Jizo does not dare to hinder it. But one day, if you can figure out the story of Jizo, you can come to this "dark hell" at any time to find Jizo. Amitabha!
Immediately afterwards, the Jizo Bodhisattva said to the next Truth: You can tell you the cause and effect of the address in detail with all of you, remember to answer all questions, and do not conceal them!
After saying this, he ignored the crowd and sat cross-legged on the lotus platform on his own knees! Even his eyes were closed, and his mouth began to recite the "Ten Rounds of the Jizo Sutra".
Nadi had been lying on the ground for a while, but now he was already standing and said to everyone: I understand that you want to know the specific whereabouts of the lost soul and soul of the great god Fuxi! And you have also peeked into the heavenly machine through the "Queen Mother Kunlun Heavenly Machine Mirror".
So I'm going to explain to you the key points now. First of all, the water you see in the mirror is called "Evil Water", and it is a river in this "dark hell". In this "bad water river", there lives a strange fish, which is the ancient beast "silverfish".
This silverfish is a strange beast with fish and bird wings, and can make a bird call like a mandarin duck. Legend has it that this kind of silverfish will bring floods wherever it appears! But since it was driven into this "bad water river" by Dayu, it can no longer go out to bring disaster to the world!
One of the souls of the great god Fuxi that you are looking for is now in the belly of the biggest silverfish! This fish devours the souls of those who pass by the most, and the more energy the soul, the more it likes it!
In addition, the sea of flowers you see in the treasure mirror is actually the "Manju Sawah" that grows in the "Eternal Night Underworld"! This Manju Sawa is commonly known as the "Flower of the Other Side". And what you are looking for, one of the spirits of the great god Fuxi has turned into one of the red flowers in this sea of flowers.....
