Chapter 21: The Pure Land of Bliss
At this time, in the Buddha's Three Realms Heavens, the highest heaven, one must not think about it. It is an boundless sea of suffering, eternal and boundless, whose shore is not known, and whose depth is not known.
On the bitter sea, from time to time, there are waves of waves surging, followed by the sparkling sea water, with a hint of serenity and calmness in the calm, and there are currents and whirlpools in the dark places in the calm.
In the core of the middle of this bitter sea, there is a pure land, which does not know its width, does not know its width, does not know its thickness. This Pure Land is the Pure Land of Bliss in the West, also known as the Pure Land of Rebirth. Therefore, this Pure Land can also be called the Elysium, or the world of rebirth.
In the center of the Pure Land of Bliss, there is a mountain called Ling Mountain, this mountain does not know its height, but it does not know its size. There is a palace on the top of the Lingshan peak, which is called the Great Leiyin Temple.
There is also a mountain about nine spiritual mountains in the diameter distance from the spiritual mountain, which is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and it is also unknown to its height and its size. At the top of this square inch mountain peak, there is a cave, which is called the three-star cave of the oblique moon.
If you look down from the highest place of the Pure Land of Bliss, you will find that the Lingshan Mountain and the Fangcun Mountain faintly show the harmony of yin and yang, complementing each other and running together.
And the Pure Land of Bliss is faintly presented in all directions, and the entire Pure Land of Bliss is like a pair of yin and yang gossip diagrams in endless operation, implicitly combining the infinite birth of Taiji, Taiji and the two instruments, and the endless reincarnation of yin and yang.
At this time, in the big thunder sound temple, an endless seven treasure pool is located in it, this seven treasure pool is also called the merit pool. At the bottom of the Seven Treasure Pond is an endless array of crystal sand Buddha pills, all of which are crystal clear, and there is a faint bloom of light around them, each of which is the size of a thumb belly.
This Buddha pill only needs to be practiced a little, and it can become a magic weapon to protect against the enemy, and it cannot be broken if it is not an eternal treasure.
On top of the Endless Buddha Pill is the infinite number of Buddhist Seven Treasures foreshadowing, and above is the endless water of eight merits. These eight merits have eight special functions, namely: clear, cold, luscious, soft, moisturizing, peaceful, eliminating hunger and thirst, and nourishing the roots.
The Buddha often used the eight qualities of sweetness, coldness, softness, lightness, purity, odorlessness, bathing in fragrance, and not harming the body to praise the beauty of these eight merits water.
If a mortal bathes in it for 12 hours, he can directly shape the golden body of an Arhat and achieve the Arhat Fruit Position.
In the central core area of this boundless Seven Treasure Pool, there are the twelve seven-colored lotus platforms floating on the water of eight merits. There is a Bodhi treasure tree in the center of the lotus platform, and this tree is directly rooted on the lotus platform. This is the most precious lotus platform wonderful tree of Buddhism to suppress luck, which is refined by Hongjun Taoist Ancestor himself.
This treasure has been refined by the great merit of the reopening of the wilderness, and after being illuminated by the immeasurable opening of the spirit of the jade disk, it has been directly promoted to the middle grade eternal treasure, which is the same grade as the three treasures of the opening of the sky.
Of course, now that the flood has reopened, there is more than one of the nine major sects of the flood wilderness.
However, such as the Three Treasures of the Open Heaven, the Mixed Yuan Sword, and the Lotus Tai Miaoshu, they are the symbols of the major sects. It is the royal treasure of the major mixed yuan sect masters, but it cannot be regarded as common sense.
In front of this lotus platform wonderful tree, there are many lotus seats, there are ten lotus platforms, nine lotus platforms, eight lotus platforms, six lotus platforms, three lotus platforms, etc., as well as a single colorful lotus platform seats formed by many colorful lotus flowers, some large and some small, all of which are fan-shaped distribution in the face of the lotus platform wonderful tree.
Many lotus seats are swaggering and blooming, with golden light flashing and colorful brilliance, which is extremely beautiful. These many lotus platform seats are all grown in this endless water of eight merits, rooted in the depths of the immeasurable crystal sand Buddha pill.
Around this lotus tree, as well as many lotus seats, there are countless Sanssouci trees, linden trees, suo alder trees, horse chestnut trees, Solo trees, big green trees, bay leaf palms, betel nut trees, sugar palms, coconut trees... and other sacred trees of Buddhism.
There are also flowers growing between many sacred trees, such as: Tianyu Mandala Flower, Moko Mandala Flower, Manzhu Sawa Flower, Moko Manshu Flower, Thousand Leaf Golden Lotus, Mountain Magnolia, Euepiphany, Manjushri Flower, Turmeric Flower, Burmese Osmanthus Flower, Frangipani, Polo Flower, Thousand Petal Lotus... and other Buddhist sacred flowers.
These many Buddhist sacred trees and sacred flowers are all over the Seven Treasure Pond, and they seem to be close to each other, but in fact, they are far away from each other. Because of its infinite and wide Seven Treasure Pool, there are also many islands and lands piled up by crystal sand Buddha pills in all directions, all of which are different in size.
There are many Buddhist sacred trees and sacred flowers growing on it, and there are many birds, elk, yellow sheep, cattle, lions, elephants...... and so on, but all living beings grow and reproduce freely, which is really a Buddhist scene.
There are also many sea creatures in the sea, distributed in the entire Qibao Pond, the golden dragon rolling, the spirit turtle swimming, the sea fish jumping, many scenes, it is really beautiful. Words can't describe it in case!
At this time, two people sat on the lotus platform wonderful tree, one was a gray monk's robe, his complexion was slightly golden, his face was golden, his body was thin, and his face was miserable. The other was dressed in a blue and gold silk robe, with a tall figure, and his face was also golden, but his face was very serene.
These two people are the two mixed Yuan sect masters of Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha, the lord of all Buddhas and the quasi-Ti Taoist. But at this time, the quasi-Taoist said: "The disciple on the list of my sect has left the list and has now returned. ”
As soon as the words of the quasi-Daoist fell, he saw a huge yin and yang gossip diagram suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the lotus platform Miaoshu. This yin and yang gossip diagram disappeared in a flash, and then in the next moment, hundreds of Buddhist disciples from the previous era who came out of the list of gods appeared.
At the same time, the golden lotus flowers in full bloom appeared under the feet of all the disciples, holding up all the Buddhist disciples who suddenly appeared.
When Maitreya Buddha, Sun Wukong and others were teleporting, they only felt that the endless black and white crystals flashed in front of them, but they were not dazzling, but they were extremely soft.
I only felt that in an instant, it seemed to be immeasurable and eternal, and this black and white pillar of light came out. Then there was a scene in front of me that was in the middle of the Pure Land of Bliss, the central core of the Pure Land of Buddhism.
Maitreya Buddha, Sun Wukong and other hundreds of Buddhist disciples, when they saw the two masters of Amitabha Buddha and Zhun Ti Dao sitting on the lotus platform, they immediately bowed their hands and said: "I have seen two teachers, the teacher Shengkang, bliss is boundless. ”
Seeing the worship of the disciples below, Amitabha Buddha's face moved slightly: "You are waiting to get out of the god list, although it is determined by the operation of the number of days. However, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master bestowed on you and other primordial gods, but it is a kind deed, and you need to keep it in your heart. ”
All the disciples in the audience looked at each other, and although they had doubts, they still replied: "The teacher's teachings, we should keep them in mind." ”
Seeing this, the Quasi-Ti Daoist understood in his heart what his disciples thought: "You don't have to wonder, now that this flood has reopened, all the major sects in the flood wilderness have an innate eternal true realm, which is the realm of the foundation of the major sects. But there is no need to do so many calculations for the sake of a little projectile land like in the previous era. ”
"Now you are out of the list and back to the position, it is a number of days. In addition, we and other major sects are all under the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, and in the future, we should jointly assist the disciples of the people and educate the endless life races in this desolate realm. This is the fixed number of the great road, and you must not do that thing that provokes cause and effect again. "The quasi-Daoist said to the disciples that there was an opportunity for tomorrow.
Amitabha Buddha said: "In the future, my Buddhism still needs to have a fight with the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect, the Heavenly Court, etc. The unfinished causal entanglement of the previous epoch has ended. In the future, it is necessary to quickly cut through the chaos and end the cause and effect with the two major sects and the Heavenly Court. ”
"I originally wanted to have a fight with one of the two masters of the Demon Sect, the Demon Ancestor Luo Yu, the incarnation of Pangu's evil thoughts. In order to end a causal entanglement first, the Rahu Taoist did not come out of the Shura Demon Realm after all. In fact, we all understand that if the two sects of Buddhism and demons want to end the entanglement of cause and effect, it will take billions of years before they can end. However, the quasi-Taoist told his disciples in advance of the cause and effect of the future end of Buddhism.
In fact, at that time, the Quasi-Ti Daoist used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to test the Shura Boundary Membrane, but it was only slightly satisfactory. He also knows that when the time is not right, even if he takes the initiative to invite the cause and effect, people will not bother to deal with you.
"Now that this flood has reopened, there is no longer a 5.6 billion year catastrophe, but an increase of 400 million years. For that one Jiazi six billion years to circulate. "The Quasi-Ti Daoist explained to the disciples the duration of the reincarnation of the new era.
"In the future, after I have finished teaching those three causes and effects, I will spread the Mahayana teachings of Buddhism in this Buddha's realm and educate the Buddha's realm's heavenly beings. When all the beings in the Buddha realm are freed from the sea of suffering and carry forward the teachings of Buddhism, you can assist the human religion to educate the sentient beings and groups of the desolate realm and sea. ”
"This is the fixed number of the Great Dao, the teaching of people and even the teaching of respect, and all our religions will assist in their responsibility to educate sentient beings. The human race is an innate and eternal life race, which is determined by the Great Dao. In the future, we and other major sects will assist with all our hearts. We must no longer arbitrarily give rise to cause and effect incidents and provoke entanglement of right and wrong. After all, we are a branch of Hongjun Taoist Buddhism established by Hongjun Dao Ancestor, and the reopening of this flood is a great change and a new atmosphere. The quasi-Taoist had a calm face and warned his disciples about the relationship between cause and effect.
"Kumarosh, the Macaque King, the two generals of Honbi, and the two marshals of Maliu came forward. As soon as the four people standing behind the crowd heard the call of the Quasi-Daoist, they hurriedly stepped forward to see the two sect masters.
When I came to the front, after bowing, I heard Amitabha Buddha say, "You four deserve to be canonized by me." Kumarosh, your fate is full, and today I have named you Kumarosh Buddha, and I have the responsibility of propagating and explaining the teachings of our religion. Be one of the three thousand higher Buddhas to teach me. As soon as Amitabha Buddha's words fell, Kumarosh had been blessed with the Buddha's golden body.
"Macaque King, you are a six-eared macaque of the four monkeys in the mixed world, and you can listen to the six and eight directions by nature. Therefore, in the future, we can find out many causes and effects for our religion, and eliminate the cause and effect of Buddhism's entanglement. I now call you the Macaque King Buddha, one of the three thousand Buddhas I teach. In other words, the macaque king was now blessed with the golden body of the Buddha.
"The second general of Bang Yu and the second marshal of Ma Liu, the four of you are the general of the spirit monkey of Huaguo Mountain. Now there is no fig mountain, but the days are running, and from today onwards, you should fight and defeat the four Douzhan Venerables under the Buddha's seat. Assist in fighting to defeat the Buddha and resolve various peripheral disputes of our religion. The four of them listened to the seal and were blessed by Amitabha Buddha with the golden body of the Venerable Fighting Battle.
After the canonization of Amitabha Buddha was completed, the quasi-Taoist said: "Now that everything is over, you need to practice the Dharma diligently, so as to end the cause and effect in the future, and assist people to educate and educate the sentient beings and races in the Flood and Desolation Realm, the Heavens and the Ten Thousand Worlds." ”
After finishing speaking, he summoned the Medicine King Buddha Sun Wukong, the Monkey King Buddha, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, and the Water and Fire Boy (1) to follow, and then took the three of them out of the Great Leiyin Temple. There are only many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc., who listen to Amitabha Buddha preach the essence of the major Buddhist scriptures of Buddhism, sit down and condense mana, and cultivate supernatural powers.
Zhun Ti Daoist took the three disciples and walked out of the palace gate of the Great Lei Yin Temple. I saw the peak of the spiritual mountain outside the temple, the golden light was shining, and the statue of the Buddha loomed. The endless Pure Land of Bliss is as far as the eye can see!
In the boundless sea of suffering on the periphery, all kinds of picturesque, sparkling, and rolling tides are on it. Sometimes the wind blows violently, and the huge waves surge by, which makes people feel peaceful and frightened, and finally realize that the sea of suffering is endless, and it is necessary to use all kinds of sufferings as a boat, get through the sea of suffering, land on the other side, and realize the great and comfortable artistic conception of the Buddha's fruition.
Meaning of serial number annotation:
(1), the water and fire boy is the service and janitor of the dojo of the quasi-Tidao in the last era, and this time he got out of the list, so he naturally still follows the quasi-Tidao.
