Chapter 42: The Future Buddha
The Confessed Master continued: "The Buddha's Nirvana is the fulfillment of his merits, and he will no longer fall into the six realms of reincarnation, and from then on he will perform the Sutras and Teachings in the Western Elysium, and he will live forever. Say.b. Update
And this mortal bits and pieces, although there is no Buddha to take care of, to the decadence of ten thousand laws, the rebirth of evil demons, but the Buddha did not forget, so he entrusted others to take care of it, until the future Buddha rebirth, this person's responsibility is completed. 7236
Master Fang, the last time you came to Ciyun Temple, do you still remember the statue that the poor monk took you to see? ”
Fang Zhong naturally remembered that last time, in order to save Zheng Yuanhong, the master of Baishi Mountain, he came to Ciyun Temple to ask the monks for rescue, and only then did he meet He Ying.
Fang Zhongdao: "The master took the younger generation to see the statue of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo.
Master Confession said: "The person entrusted by the Buddha after Nirvana is the King of Jizo.
That is to say, at the beginning of the day of the Buddha's destruction, before the future Buddha was found, the king of Jizo was the first master in this mortal world.
Fang Zhongdao: "The Buddha's nirvana does not stop at today, if a thousand years have passed, is it not that the future Buddha has not been born?" ”
The master of the token said: "Master Fang has a bad understanding, the Buddha's nirvana is the first extinction, and then there is the second extinction, the third extinction, except for the first extinction is done by the Buddha himself, the rest is just the future Buddha for the Buddha."
Fang Zhong suddenly said: "If this Buddha is destroyed more than once, then the future Buddha is afraid that it will not refer to one person.
The token master nodded and said: "Yes, Master Fang is clear at a point, this future Buddha is just a title, and the king of the earth is the same as the king of the earth, he is a person who promotes the Dharma on behalf of the Buddha, but the king of the earth is in charge, and his main thing is still in the netherworld."
As for who this future Buddha is, maybe it is your benefactor, or maybe it is my repentant junior brother, and I will only know after the world is revealed.
Master Confession lowered his head and said: "Poor monks have no virtue, how dare they covet the name of the future Buddha."
Fang Zhong said with a smile: "The future Buddha must be a monk, but the younger generation is not, so this future Buddha will definitely not fall on the head of the younger generation."
The token master smiled: "This is not necessarily, maybe Fang Shiji can see the Bodhi tree under the circumstances, once enlightened, and eventually become a Buddha."
Fang Zhong said: "The Bodhi tree has such a wonder, if the younger generation can see it, sit and realize it, but the Buddha's words are empty and ethereal, and it is absolutely impossible."
The token master said: "No one knows who the future Buddha is, but there must be one thing, that is, this future Buddha must be a person who has sat under the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment."
Therefore, if I can find the Bodhi tree after the Buddha is destroyed, it will not be difficult to find this future Buddha.
The master of the warehouse hall on the side said: "It turns out that the abbot asks for the Bodhi tree, or has selfish intentions, if the Bodhi tree is obtained in Tsz Yun Temple, every monk in the temple will come to see it, then the future Buddha will definitely be your monk in Tsz Yun Temple."
The master of the token smiled dumbly and said: "The old man just said that the future Buddha will definitely be born from those who have participated in the Bodhi tree, but he did not say that the Bodhi tree will definitely have the opportunity to achieve the name of the future Buddha.
You must know that if you do something shocking, you will be punished by heaven.
The master of the cangtang said: "Listen to what the abbot said, finding the future Buddha is the time when the Buddha is destroyed, is it not now the time when the Buddha is destroyed?" ”
The token master said: "At first, the old man didn't believe it, but after getting a little trace from the Fang donor, the old man already believed three points.
Not long ago, several temples of Buddhism were tragically destroyed, and Lao Qu became more and more convinced.
Seeing the demons dancing wildly, the righteous path is falling, this is exactly the appearance of the Buddha's extinction, the future Buddha should come out of the world, how can my Buddha disciples look aside.
The master of the cangtang said: "The old man is not a person in Buddhism, and I don't know if what the abbot said is true or false, but the old man came here in person and asked the Bodhi tree to be true."
The master of the token said: "As long as the master of the cangtang seeks the location of the Bodhi tree, the final temple will be as you wish."
The master of the warehouse hall said loudly: "Okay, the abbot is really refreshing.
The master of the token said: "The master of the cangtang is tired from afar, can you rest for a day, and then perform the art of divination tomorrow, and ask for the whereabouts of the Bodhi tree."
The master of the warehouse shook his head and said, "No need, the old man doesn't have a few days to live, if he doesn't wake up from sleep, won't it be too late."
Only today can be set up in formation, I heard that your temple has a leaf of the Bodhi tree, you might as well take it out now, the old man has spent most of his life, and has never seen such holy relics.
The Master of Tokens said to Master Confession: "Senior disciple go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and bring the sandalwood box containing Bodhi leaves, and by the way, let the rest of the junior disciples also go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall."
Master Confession nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother, wait a minute." The repentant master got up, confessed to Fang Zhong and the others, and went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to get the Bodhi leaves.
About half an hour later, the Master of Confession returned to the main hall, and at the same time held a sandalwood box with a talisman in both hands, the box was three feet long, and the bottom was cushioned with a brocade cloth.
Behind the Master of Confession, there were two more eminent monks, one of whom Fang Zhong had seen, it was the Master of Confession, although he was very thin, but he was an old monk with a fiery temper.
There was also a person who looked younger, because the monk had no beard, and he was fatter, and the fatter person had smoother skin, and was born with a smiling face, and suddenly he was amiable.
The token master took the sandalwood box and said to the master of the cangtang: "This is a Bodhi leaf left by a supreme elder of the temple, please take a look at the master of the cangtang." With that, he took off the talisman seal on the sandalwood box, and then lifted it slightly with one hand, and the sandalwood box slowly opened, revealing the Bodhi leaf inside.
Fang Zhong, the Cangtang Master and the others were attracted by the things in the box, and they all looked at it together, carefully looking at this rumored Buddhist holy relic.
