Chapter 598: Sacrificing Yourself to Feed the Fire (Part II)
Just when everyone was shocked by the news brought by the little monk Xuanhua, Master Xuyun had already ascended the altar, and after pronouncing the Buddha's name, he began to slowly recite the Buddha's verses in his mouth. The sound is like a bell, shocking people's hearts, and suddenly people have an illusion, as if sitting cross-legged on the altar is no longer the Xuyun Master, but a Buddha descended from the Western Heaven Elysium.
After hearing this Buddha's voice, the people on both sides of the altar road who came to watch the ceremony showed excitement and inexplicable expressions on their faces, and their steps moved wildly, and they surrounded the place where Master Xuyun was sitting, blocking the area around the altar.
"Why are you little monk so ignorant! Such a big thing, you have to hold back until now to tell us! After Chen Bai'an glanced at the dense crowd of human heads around the altar, he angrily rebuked the little monk of Xuanhua, whose face was full of tears.
The little monk Xuanhua wiped his tears and choked up: "Why don't I want to say it, it's the master who won't let me say it." He said that his time is approaching, and the time of his death has come, and he tells you that it is only to increase your worries, and it is better to go naked and die comfortably, and with this matter, he can still preach the Dharma once, why not. β
"Master, why bother, even if there is no relics to suppress it, let's plan again, maybe we can find other ways......" Lin Bai sighed when he heard this, didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried towards the altar.
But at this time, the people around the altar had already been comprehended by the Dharma scriptures narrated by Master Xuyun, and they gave way for them to pass. Seeing the crowd of people rubbing shoulders in front of him, even Lin Bai felt a sense of powerlessness.
"That's what I smelled. Then the crown prince. Pick up the wood. Sashimi bleeding. The tiger has to lick it. His mouth is open. That is, to eat the flesh. The second brother stayed for a long time. Trace-seeking. Remembering his ancestry. It will be able to reach the other. Feed the hungry tigers. Chase to the shore. See Mahasattva die before the tiger. The tiger has eaten it. Flesh and blood. Fall to the ground. Died of exhaustion. β
"For the sake of all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, I aspire to the Supreme Bodhi Place. Great compassion is not moved, when the body of the mortal man is loved. Bodhi is free from trouble and no heat, and all are happy with the wise. All sentient beings in the Three Realms of Suffering, I will make peace and happiness today. β
Lin Bai and the others couldn't get close to the altar, but Master Xuyun, who was on top of the altar, could see a few of them, seeing that these people were getting closer and closer to him, Master Xuyun suddenly stopped chanting Buddhist scriptures, pinched the lotus law seal in his hand, and said softly: "Xuyun has worked hard for more than a hundred years to save himself all his life, but in the end, none of them have been obtained. β
"Yesterday I gained great wisdom, if I don't save myself, how can I save others?" Master Xuyun saw that everyone in the audience had doubts on their faces, so he chuckled and shook his head and said: "I have been holding the vows for more than 100 years, and Xuyun broke the vows for the first time today. β
After the words fell, the audience suddenly became in an uproar, and some people showed inexplicable resentment on their faces? Inexplicably, the words kept humiliating Master Xuyun. But the vast majority of people had a thoughtful look on their faces, the shock they had given them when Master Xuyun gave a lecture was too great, and they thought in their hearts that even if they couldn't see the parietal bone relic, this trip would be worth it.
"The ten directions are like this, so the mantra has attained supreme pervasive awareness."
"If the ten directions come, hold this mantra, subdue the demons, and control the outer ways."
"If the ten directions come, according to this mantra, you can pull out the suffering of the people in the ten directions. The so-called hell, hungry ghosts, beasts, blind and deaf, boiled, dumb, resentment will be bitter, love will be bitter, love will not be bitter, the five yin are blazing, large and small, and at the same time liberate. Thieves, soldiers, kings, prisons, wind, fire, water, hunger, thirst, poverty, should be dissolved. β
"If you come from the ten directions, if you do this mantra, you can receive the cause of kinship in the ten directions, so that the Hinayana will not be frightened when they hear the secret."
"If you come from the ten directions, recite this mantra and become supreme enlightenment; Feed the fire with your body, follow the Buddha's body to feed the tiger, and break the precepts, so what's the matter; Sit on the Bodhi tree and enter the Great Nirvana. β
Master Xuyun didn't pay attention to the words of those people in the audience, but just silently recited the French of Ah Ao in the "Ranga Sutra". Sentence after sentence, as if the sky was falling, after the words fell, the venue was extremely clean, and those who had accused Master Xuyun before were also retracted, and their faces showed a touch of enlightenment.
The sound grew quieter and quieter, becoming inaudible. The Bodhi tree on the side of the Shwedagon Pagoda is windless and automatic, and the leaves like the palm prints of the Buddha are rattling, as if they are playing a Sanskrit song that is impossible to appear in the world.
The sky was silent, and everyone fell into an ethereal situation, as if the lotus flowers around them were blooming, and the fragrance was fragrant. I don't know how long it took for everyone to wake up, and there was no more noise from before, and their eyes were staring directly at the Void Cloud Master on the altar, wanting to hear what kind of scripture he would produce next.
But the leaves rattled, and the clouds fluttered in the blue sky, but the Void Cloud Master sitting on the altar did not make a sound. His complexion was ruddy, unlike the pale he had when he had first ascended to the altar; And the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, which could not be described in any words, as if the first rays of sunshine appeared after a long winter snow.
"Master!" Looking at the appearance of Master Xuyun, how could the little monk of Xuanhua not understand what was going on, fiery tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, blindly pushed away the crowd around him, and rushed towards the altar.
And these people under the altar finally understood what had just happened, and finally understood why such a vision of heaven and earth suddenly appeared. Master Xuyun gave a lecture on the Dharma to everyone at the end of his life, and then passed away peacefully.
"The Buddha loves the world, but why do you never know how to love yourself?" Chen Bai'an was also unable to cry, his decades-long friendship with Master Xuyun finally came to an end today. Seeing the death of an old friend, where can I still worry about half a point of posture and appearance, what tears are sad, except for crying, I can no longer vent the sadness in my heart.
Yuchatira fell to his knees limply, his palms folded, his mouth chanting the scriptures endlessly, and the corners of his eyes, which had long been dried by lust, fell even more tears that he had not seen for a long time. Even Liao Manyun, Yushan Yueye, Shen Lingfeng and Zhang Sanmad, who had little contact with Master Xuyun, were also sad at this time, and the corners of their eyes were wet.
"The master has done his best, and I will add another fire to you to make this situation even more prosperous." Lin Bai's heart was also sad, and after being silent for a long time, he muttered a sentence, and then the Houhe Tuluo book slowly slipped down his palm, the seal was pinched, and many secret mantras were recited in his mouth, urging the feng shui bureau around the Shwedagon Pagoda to run slowly.
The wind and water rise, and the sky changes. One after another, an indescribable aura surged towards everyone from the direction of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and then the Shwedagon Pagoda became brighter and brighter under the sunlight, and a ball of light even more dazzling than the sun in the sky appeared at the top of the tower.
"Heaven and man are inducted, Buddha loves the world! This is the vision of the Buddha who was moved by the Master of the Void Clouds! β
"Master Xuyun is not afraid of the cold and heat, worships the Buddha every day, and holds himself with the precepts of Buddhism, which is really a model for my generation!"
Looking at the vision of the Shwedagon Pagoda, everyone under the altar felt a sense of awe in their hearts, and they knelt on the ground one after another, bowing to Master Xuyun, who was already sitting on the altar, and kept reciting the mantra of rebirth, hoping that in this way, Master Xuyun's soul would smoothly return to the Western Heaven Elysium and become one of the three thousand Buddhas.
"Master Void Cloud has done everything he can, and the rest is up to us. Old Chen, don't be too sad, we can suppress this incident and save Huaxia and Burma from poison, which can be regarded as the best consolation to Master Xuyun's spirit in the sky! Lin Bai slowly grabbed Chen Bai'an's arm and said in a deep voice.
Chen Bai'an was speechless for a long time, tears were in his eyes, and he didn't know how long it took, but his expression finally calmed down. Turning his head to look at Yuchadila, who was sitting on the ground, chanting the mantra of the past in his mouth, he said slowly: "The master has gone, arrange to go down, and prepare to incinerate the remains of the Void Cloud Master for everyone to watch." β
"Obey the law!" Hearing this, Yuchatira got up from the ground, raised her arm to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked slowly towards the people under the altar, and then began to convey to everyone that she was going to hold a transcendent ceremony for Master Xuyun next.
Not a single person objected, and no one left. After everyone learned the news, they sat cross-legged under the altar, staring at the remains of Master Xuyun sitting on the altar, tears welling up in the corners of their eyes, and chanting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths.
"Senior brother, manipulating the leylines is your forte, wait a while for me to make the momentum bigger, we can't let the master leave so silently!" After Lin Bai comforted Chen Bai'an a few more words, he walked to Zhang Sanmad's side and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Sanmad nodded, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely use all my skills to do this, and if I don't let the master go beautifully, I can't forgive myself in my life." β
Chai He slowly gathered around the remains of Master Xuyun, and then the monks of Dajin Temple with sad faces poured sesame oil around them, and placed many offerings that would only be used when worshipping the Buddha.
After everyone had stopped making all preparations, Yuchadila approached Lin Bai and the others, and choked up, "Who will light this fire?" β
"Master treats me like a father, and I should come on this last journey to send Master!" Lin Bai was about to open his mouth, but a childish voice suddenly came from beside him, and when he heard the voice, he saw that the little monk of Xuanhua with tears on his face walked down.
