Chapter 30: The Great Brahma

The mountain behind the West Tianling Mountain is a retreat place where the lanterns are lit and strolled. Looking at the scenery of this spiritual mountain, the lamp was lit towards the void, Amitabha, since Lao Jun is here, why hide and hide?"

In the writhing of the void, Lao Jun's figure emerged, Lao Jun fell to the ground, waved the dust, and said with a smile, "Please forgive me for disturbing the ancient Buddha's cultivation rashly." ”

Lighting the lamp, Gu Jing said without waves, "Lao Jun is not in your Tushi Palace, what are you doing in my Xitian?

"Hehe, it seems that the ancient Buddha still has a grudge against my heavenly court! But after all, the poor way is a guest, it is really inappropriate for the ancient Buddha to treat me in such a hospitable way, right?" At the Yaochi banquet before, Heavenly Court almost tore its face to pick out the scriptures, how could you not be angry when you lit the lamp?

Randen turned around, sat cross-legged on the grass, and stretched out his hand to signal Lao Jun to sit down. Lao Jun sat cross-legged opposite the lamp.

"I wonder what Lao Jun is here for today?" asked Ran Deng. He knew that Lao Jun would not leave the heavenly court easily, but today he did not say hello and bypassed Rulai and came directly to his retreat place, there must be something.

"Hehe, the poor road is still here to learn the scriptures!" Lao Jun did not hide it, and directly explained his intentions.

"I don't have anything to talk about in the west. Lao Jun, please go back!" Ran Deng unceremoniously and directly issued an eviction order.

"I'm afraid you've gone bad now, aren't you?" Lao Jun didn't care about the eviction order, but said out loud.

"Your western heavens are peaceful under your rule, and you can be said to have all beings in the world in mind. But since that Rulai ascended to the throne, are you still in the West Heaven? The teachings of Buddhism have been discarded, and you are only dedicated to the Buddhas of the West Heaven, hehe, is the Buddha still the Buddha today?"

"Taishang Laojun, this seat respects you as an ancient saint, and you will give you three points in this position, and now you are saying too much!"

Lao Jun looked at the angry lamp, stroked his beard, and said, "As the poor Dao said, the ancient Buddha should have a measuring stick in his heart, is it true or false, the ancient Buddha should be clearer than the poor Dao, right?"

"You ......" The lamp outlet wanted to justify, but it still turned into a sigh, "What can I do, tens of thousands of years ago, my Buddhist holy tree Bodhi died, and my Buddha's immortal method was cut off." "Lighting the lampway.

"Now that this seat has abdicated for many years, the affairs of the West Heaven have long been no longer asked, and now the person in charge of the West Heaven is Rulai, no longer this seat, what is the point of Lao Jun saying this?"

"What's the point? Could it be that the ancient Buddha just watched your Buddhism degenerate, and gave up all living beings in the world for his own selfishness?"

Randen didn't answer, and said lonely, "Time is running out for this seat, as for what this Western Heaven will become under the leadership of Rulai, since this seat has abdicated, why should it interfere with Rulai's resolution." Just like you, Lao Jun, the decision of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Lao Jun, can you deny it?"

Lao Jun sighed, what he said was good, although he and Randen already have the strength of a saint, but after all, they are no longer in power, Randen can't oppose Rulai's approach, can he oppose the Jade Emperor's approach?

Although every time he discussed, the Jade Emperor would follow his own advice and discuss with himself. But in the end, isn't it the Jade Emperor's final word?

"Poor Dao came today, not to accuse the ancient Buddha, but to hope that the ancient Buddha for the sake of all living beings in the world, for the sake of Buddhism, the matter of learning scriptures needs to be carefully considered. Lao Jun persuaded.

Burning the lamp smiled, "This seat is already difficult to ride a tiger, and the matter of learning from the scriptures back then was nodded and agreed before the abdication." This seat even went to your heavenly court to lobby, and now that the overall situation has been decided, how can this seat give up this plan?"

"Could it be that if you don't become an ancient Buddha, you will let this scripture for the benefit of all sentient beings really become a victim of the immortality of your Buddhas?" Lao Jun stood up and said angrily.

Randen shook his head, "Lao Jun doesn't need to persuade again, this seat has made up his mind." For the sake of the future of my Buddhism, this seat will not give in!"

"Okay, good," Lao Jun said three good words in a row, "Since your Buddhism has made up your mind, then the poor Dao will no longer be persuased, if it affects my heavenly court in the future, then don't blame the poor Dao for not being emotional!" After Lao Jun finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared in this spiritual mountain.

Lighting the lamp plate sat on the grass, quietly waiting for Rulai to come, he knew that Rulai would definitely know that Lao Jun came to Xitianling Mountain. After a while, the golden light flashed, and Rulai appeared in front of the burning lamp.

"Sit. Lighting the lamp motioned for Rulai to sit down, Rulai sat down cross-legged, and asked, "Taishang Laojun has come to visit the ancient Buddha?"

Randen nodded, and Rulai asked again, "Then why did Lao Jun come here?"

"Regarding the matter of learning scriptures, Lao Jun said that my Xitian Buddhism has deteriorated. Randen smiled lightly, "He said that my Buddhism is too selfish, and I take scriptures to benefit all sentient beings, but I want to sacrifice for the immortality of my Buddhas, which is against the original intention of my Buddhism." ”

"How did the ancient Buddha think about this?" asked Rulai, if the lamp was shaken at this time, then tens of thousands of years of preparation would be in vain.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, the learning from the experience will be carried out according to the original plan, don't be swayed by Lao Jun's lobbying!"

If he finally reassured, he was afraid that the lantern would waver in this matter, once the lamp was opposed, the Buddhist heavens would naturally oppose this matter, but if the lamp insisted, even if the Buddhist heavens were opposed, he could continue to insist.

"Then the Great Brahma, is the ancient Buddha still visiting?" Rulai asked, he had planned to visit in person, but before attending the Yaochi feast, he offered to visit on his behalf, but he didn't move.

"Since you are in such a hurry, then this seat will go to the great Brahma today. "Lighting the lamp and getting up, Rulai also got up.

"Go back. After lighting the lamp, he got up and motioned to go back. If you come to salute, you say, "There is Lao Gu Buddha." Then he exited the Lamp Retreat.

Burning the lamp has always been clean, and his retreat does not want to be disturbed by outsiders, and even if he is not there, he does not allow others to be here. After Rulai retreated, with a wave of his lamp sleeve robe, a passage appeared in the void, and Lamp walked in with his feet raised.

The Great Brahma is one of the 28 heavens of Buddhism. Buddhism believes that heaven is the most wonderful, kindest, and happiest place for sentient beings. Only those who practice the ten good karmic paths can be reborn in the heavens. However, although the "heavens" are in the highest and most superior position among the sentient beings and can enjoy all kinds of enjoyment, they have not yet jumped out of the cycle of samsara, and once they have enjoyed all their previous karma, they will fall back into samsara.

Buddhism has six reincarnations, and the six heavenly realms are divided into three kinds of heavenly realms: the desire realm, the color realm, and the colorless realm, collectively referred to as the three realms of Buddhism, of which the desire realm has six heavens, including the four heavenly kings, the heavenly realm, and the Tushi heaven. There are eighteen layers of heaven in the color world, mainly including the Great Brahma, the Pure Heaven, the Thoughtless Heaven, and the Great Freedom Heaven. There are four layers of heaven in the colorless realm, which are the boundless sky of emptiness, the boundless heaven of cognition, the heaven of non-possession, and the heaven of non-thinking and non-thinking.

And the Great Brahma, who rules the eighteenth layer of the color realm, has an incomparably lofty status. However, the twenty-eight heavens of Buddhism are all within reincarnation, and with the death of the sacred tree Bodhi of Buddhism, the law of immortality of Buddhism is cut off, and the heavens of Buddhism may fall to the altar.

In the Great Brahma Palace, the Great Brahma holds a lotus flower and whisks the dust, and the treasure is solemnly sitting on the futon. Suddenly, the void vibrate, a passage emerged, and the Great Brahma opened his eyes, and a light voice sounded in the main hall.

"I don't know who is coming to my great Brahma, this seat is far away, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

The passage shook in the void, and the lantern walked out of the passage in a robe. After the lantern came out, the passage in the void was closed, and the lantern stood on top of the main hall and said to the great Brahma in the first place, "This seat is burning the lamp in the west sky, rashly covering the sky, disturbing the great Brahma to cultivate." ”

The Great Brahma didn't care about Gaitian, closed his eyes, and said, "Burning the Lamp Ancient Buddha, you are not sitting in your western heaven, what are you doing here for my Great Brahma?"

Randen smiled lightly and said, "This seat is also a guest here, is it difficult for the Great Brahma to let this seat stand?"

With a wave of his left hand, a lotus Buddha platform appeared in front of the lamp, and the lamp stepped forward and sat down, saying, "This seat came today to be entrusted by my Buddha to visit. ”

"Is Xitian coming? It's such a big shelf, and I don't want to come in person when I visit this seat. It seems that this big Brahma is still a small temple, and it can't accommodate this big Buddha!" said the Great Brahma Gujing without waves.

Lighting the lamp and smiling, obviously resentful of not coming in person, although he is a Buddha in the past, but after all, Rulai is the ruler of the West Heaven, if he does not come, it seems that the West Heaven looks down on the Great Brahma. Then he explained.

"Originally, my Buddha Rulai planned to visit in person, but I had a lot of affairs in the West Heaven and this seat was idle, so I came in place of my Buddha. ”

"Didn't the ancient Buddha come to talk these inconsequential nonsense to this seat, right? If it's okay, go back to your western heaven!" The Great Brahma didn't give the lamp any face, and directly issued an eviction order with a gun and a stick.

"Of course, I came here today to talk about something, otherwise why do I have to go on this trip. "I came here today to learn the scriptures." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the Great Brahma opened his eyes and said lightly, "Isn't this matter your matter in the Western Heavens?

"What is the purpose of learning the scriptures, I don't think you don't know the Great Brahma, right?" Randen looked at the indifferent appearance of the Great Brahma, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

"This seat knows that it is for the sake of the immortality of the ten thousand Buddhas of my heavenly realm, didn't you already say this matter tens of thousands of years ago? And as far as this seat knows, everything is going well, so why do you need to knowingly ask about lighting the lamp?"

"This matter has changed a little now, and the matter of learning from the scriptures is now being intervened by the heavenly court. Ran Deng said.

"What, Heavenly Court wants to meddle in the affairs of my Buddha Gate?" asked the Great Brahma with squinted eyes.

"You know, taking scriptures is for the longevity of my Buddhism, and the second is for my Buddhism to preach the world. Now that the matter of learning the scriptures has caused the relationship between the Western Heavens and the Heavenly Court to be extremely bad, you heavens are high up, you don't care about it, just sit and wait to receive the fruits of victory, and now that the plan is not going well, don't you still take action?" asked Randen.

"Strike, could it be that you really want to provoke a battle between the Buddha Gate and the Heavenly Court?" the Great Brahma asked rhetorically.

"Why can't it? Heavenly Court has forced my Buddhism to make concessions in this matter three times and twice, is it that my Buddhism has to swallow his anger all the time?"

The Great Brahma closed his eyes and said, "Lighting the lamp, you should know in your heart that my Buddhism has no quarrel with the world and does not care about secular power, I am afraid that this matter is caused by Rulai's desire to compete for the co-master of the Three Realms, right?"

Randen exhaled lightly, straightened his robe, and said, "I know that you are still so free and easy." What's good, I'll say it bluntly, the Western Heavenly Realm, now that it has deteriorated, my limit is approaching, if you go too far in the future, I hope you can unite with the other heavens to make sure that my Buddha Gate is pure and immaculate. ”

"Do you mean to let this seat make a move on Nyolai in the future?" asked the Great Brahma with a sudden opening of his eyes.
