Chapter 128: The Holy Sect of Peace
Since the church is created, it must have a formal site, just as Christianity has a church, Taoism has Taoism, and Buddhism has a temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Most Taoist temples and temples are built on hills, and churches are basically built in places where people live. Bai Lian thought that the Yuanyuan Sect was facing countless ordinary people, and the place of activity was not restricted, so why build another church site.
The village chief took this matter as a major matter, and he wanted to vacate a warehouse in the village, Bai Lian said no, the church address was in the hearts of the people. The village chief said that there should always be a ceremony to join the church, Bailian said that there is no ceremony, joining the religion is voluntary, whoever participates in the activities of the integration of scripture and dance, who is a member, does not go through any procedures, can leave at any time, does not give people freedom, then it is not Yuanyuan Sect.
Bai Lian's parents and parents-in-law disagreed, they thought about the personal safety of their daughters and daughters-in-law in the future, and said how many tribulations religions had gone through in history. Bai Lian said, our religion is not reactionary to the government, and it is not a cult, but it has only pointed out a happy path or a way of life for the common people, and there can be no risks, so you can rest assured. Mom and Dad said that you can think about it, daughter, if Wanjin comes back, if you know what kind of sect leader you have become, how dare you be your husband, and it would be strange if you didn't turn him into your member. Bailian said don't worry, if he comes back, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to be my husband again, in this life, your daughter plans to live a single life, and she is not willing to be trapped by love anymore.
What Bai Lian said is true, she really doesn't want to live a life like a red dust person anymore, if there is a paradise like the Valley of Forgetfulness, she would rather give up her parents and go there to live that pure and happy life. How much she wants to stay in the Valley of Forgetfulness and never return, even if she goes to the Valley of Forgetfulness in a dream, and never wakes up. Bai Lian felt that she had completely changed.
More and more believers came to the village, standing in the village square every day, eager to hear the White Lotus's teachings. The village chief said that you don't have a church or a pulpit, how can you preach the scriptures and teachings.
The white lotus made the people form a large circle, surrounded by layers, and she sat on a grass futon in the center, and began to speak:
"The Circle of Peace and Happiness Sacred Religion is actually not new, the teachings originate from the Buddhist scriptures, pay attention to dance and fitness, the essence is eclectic, and the health and happiness are immortal."
The people facing the white lotus can see the white lotus's peaceful smiling face, and the people on both sides and behind can't see the white lotus's face, everyone is sighing and sighing, suddenly see the white lotus leaving the grass futon, slowly rising, slowly rising five meters from the ground, and she revolves around the axis of herself, three hundred and sixty degrees, so that all the people in the circle can see her face. What's even more amazing is that her family's eight white doves also descended on Bai Lian's head, shoulders, and arms at the same time. The white lotus put her hands together, smiled, slightly opened her lips, and her voice was clear, as if Guanyin Bodhisattva was coming.
People don't wonder why the white lotus will automatically rise and why it will spin automatically, they all know that she is a living bodhisattva, and the bodhisattva can soar through the clouds and mist, and step on the lotus.
People invariably chanted Amitabha!
"Sister White Lotus is sitting on a green dragon!"
Everyone raised their eyes and saw no green dragons, but they saw a few children outside the circle shouting in surprise.
"What a big green dragon, coiled under Sister Bailian's ass!"
Bai Lian also heard the child's shout, she looked down and saw nothing.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the news that the white lotus rode the green dragon to preach the scriptures and teachings, not only to the whole county, the whole province, and even the whole country, we all know that there is a small mountain village called Bodhisattva Village, a woman named Bailian founded the Yuanyuan Sect, every day by the dragon and the phoenix, preaching the scriptures.
As a result, thousands of guests flocked to the Bodhisattva Village, seeing, believing, and worshipping.
Bodhisattva Village has truly become a tourist village, a holy village, and a Bodhisattva village.
This unprecedented grand occasion undoubtedly brought business opportunities to Bodhisattva Village, and almost every household opened a commissary, restaurant, Buddhist supplies store. However, when Bai Lian preached the scriptures, she did not ask people to burn incense, she only invited people to join in the big circle, listen to the scriptures, chant the scriptures, and dance. After the activity, whoever wants to burn incense can go to the warehouse vacated by the village chief to pay homage to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the white lotus asked the village chief to simply decorate the storehouse, and hang a portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the wall sitting west to east.
The village chief is happy, don't mention it, he can't keep his mouth shut all day long.
The members of the Yuanyuan Sect in this village not only did not decrease because of their trading, but they all increased their hearts, and everyone thanked the White Lotus in their hearts, and it was the White Lotus that brought wealth, happiness, health and blessings to the whole village.
Bailian's parents are extremely proud of their daughter.
"Daughter, you are now a world-famous Bodhisattva, are you proud?" The mother asked her daughter happily.
Bai Lian shook her head.
Bai Lian heard such a compliment almost every day, and she just laughed it off.
"Daughter, you preach the scriptures in mid-air every day, is it really a green dragon sitting on it?" Daddy asked.
Bai Lian shook her head and said, I don't know.
Fairies, saints, bodhisattvas, these admirable titles echo in Bailian's ears every day, but she doesn't seem to hear them.
The admiring eyes and expressions of the people, Bai Lian doesn't seem to be able to see them.
All she saw was the joy and tranquility of the people.
"White Lotus, are you a human, a Buddha, or a demon?"
In how many times Bai Lian has preached the scriptures, he has heard such a question more than once.
Bai Lian smiled but did not answer.
"Answer quickly, answer quickly!"
"Everyone is a Buddha, everyone is a demon. The Buddha and the devil are only in one thought: one thought is lost, and the Buddha becomes a demon; One thought, the devil becomes a Buddha. The Buddha sees all living beings, each of whom is a Buddha. Bai Lian said.
Sitting in mid-air and preaching the Dharma for ten minutes every day, Bai Lian felt that she was bound by time and space, which was not the picture she longed for very much. She longs more for that state of freedom.
Could it be that the Yuanyuan Sect has developed like this? Just stick to it? How many living people want to see their dead relatives, how many good people don't get good rewards, how many wicked people enjoy glory and wealth, how can we change this unfair law of cause and effect in the three lifetimes? Bai Lian thought about it, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that the Yuanyuan Sect couldn't solve these problems here! Where should Yuanyuan Sect go in order to realize all the ideals of the founding of the Church? What is the Yuanyuan Sect lacking now?!
Bai Lian thought of the Valley of Forgetfulness.
