Gongsun Guiyi hurriedly transmitted the message to the Seven Sages of Meishan outside the house, as well as Xiu Tianxiang, Jia Xuelan, Luo Mingyue, and Long Bing'er, who had just been shocked by this energy change, "Although we are not familiar with each other, for our own sake and for the sake of the creatures of this city, I hope that everyone can work together to survive this catastrophe."

The Seven Sages of Meishan and Xiu Tianxiang, Jia Xuelan, Luo Mingyue, and Long Bing'er all nodded in agreement.

Then, Gongsun Guiyi stated his plan, "Everyone will work together to resist the erosion of the Infernal Hell, so that he can spare some of his strength and buy a little time to try to awaken the Jizo King Bodhisattva to calm this crisis." ”

Jizo Bodhisattva Jizo Bodhisattva, Sanskrit name ksitigarbha, Chinese transliteration Keshi Di Gahapa, is said to be the reincarnation of Kim Qiaojue, the prince of Silla.

The world calls it the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, and the Earth Treasure Bodhisattva once made a grand wish: hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha.

Although he has not become a Buddha, he has reached the state of a Buddha.

It was transliterated as "begging fork bottom sand sand"

。

Because it is "as calm and immovable as the earth, and quiet as a secret vault"

Hence the name Jizo.

As one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, together with Guanyin, Manjushri and Puxian, he is deeply admired by the world.

With its "long-term catastrophe to repeatedly make a wish"

Therefore, he is honored as the Bodhisattva of the Great Wish Jizo King.

Its dojo is located in Jiuhua Mountain, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, and is known as the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism together with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province and Emei Mountain in Sichuan.

According to the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, there was a Brahmin woman who "believed in evil and always despised the Three Jewels"

, soon after the end of his life, "the soul god fell into the infernal hell"

。

The Brahmin woman knew that her mother was suffering in hell, so she sold her house and offered money to the Buddhist temple.

Later, under the guidance of Wang Rulai, she sleepwalked in hell, saw that the ghost king was not poisonous, and asked her mother to get out of hell. ”

Shakyamuni Buddha told Manjushri, "The Brahmin woman, the Jizo Bodhisattva, is. ”

That is to say, Jizo's previous life was a Brahmin woman who sought her mother to escape from hell.

According to the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra", Jizo Bodhisattva was entrusted by Shakyamuni Buddha to stay in the world without Buddha after Shakyamuni was extinguished and before the birth of Maitreya Buddha, and to educate sentient beings to get rid of sentient beings in hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, and heavenly realms.

And he swore that "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha"

。

Sentient beings who recite his name and worship his image will receive relief with immeasurable merits.

Jizo Bodhisattva because of the great wish to spend the life and death of all sentient beings in the six realms, so often appear in the six realms of man, heaven, hell and so on, and have the name and image of the six Jizo, its name and image are as follows: 1, Tantuo Jizo, "Tantuo"

It is a kind of human head building, and its image is holding a human head in the left hand and knotting the nectar seal in the right hand, specifically to save the beings of the Hell Path.

2. The treasure bead is hidden, holding the treasure bead in his left hand and the nectar seal in his right hand, specifically saving hungry ghosts.

3. Treasure seal Jizang, holding a tin staff in his left hand and a wishful treasure seal in his right hand, specializing in helping to live animals.

4. Holding the earth, holding the vajra in the left hand, and applying the fearless seal in the right hand, specializing in the Asura Path.

5. Remove the obstacle Jizang, hold a tin staff in his left hand, and knot the seal of his wish in his right hand, remove the obstacle of the eight sufferings for people, and specialize in helping humanity.

The so-called eight sufferings are the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of not seeking, and the suffering of the five yin, which are taken by the truth of suffering.

6. Sunshine Jizo, holding the wishful bead in the left hand, knotting the Dharma seal in the right hand, according to the five decays of heaven and man (the five decays of heaven and man when they are about to die) and remove their suffering, specializing in helping the way of heaven.

According to Buddhism, Jizo Bodhisattva was entrusted by Shakyamuni Buddha to take on the important task of educating sentient beings in the Buddhaless world before the birth of the future Buddha Maitreya after Shakyamuni's death, and his status is equivalent to that of "acting Buddha"

。

The "Jizo Sutra" also says that Shakyamuni Buddha summoned the Jizo Master and made him the head of the Youming Sect forever, so that all those who have relatives in the world can be recommended by the extreme and ascend to the Elysian World. ”

Therefore, Jizo is also known as "Great Wish Jizo"

to the "great wisdom" of Manjushri

, Fuxian's "big line"

, Guanyin's "Great Compassion"

Echo.

Tibetans have the meaning of secret, inclusiveness, and education.

It means that the Jizo Bodhisattva is in deep meditation and is able to nurture and guide all sentient beings to perfection.

There is a secret treasury in the world, which contains many gold and silver treasures, which can help the poor and benefit the poor.

Yu Bodhisattva has the secret treasure of the three virtues and the immeasurable wonderful method, which can save countless sentient beings and ascend to the shore.

"Jizo Ten Wheel Sutra" cloud: Patience is like the earth, and meditation is deep like a secret treasure, hence the name Jizo.

According to the "Three Treasures Induction Summary", when he was in the Eagle Mountain, the Bodhisattva Jizo traveled through the countries to educate sentient beings, to the foot of the Vifula Mountain, to the house of the elder Qiaoti.

In the house of the elders, the spirit of the ghost was robbed, and the family of 500 people was bored, unconscious, and passed through the ten days.

When the Jizo Bodhisattva saw this scene, he immediately recited: "It can be bitter, it can be painful; There is nothing to be said in the world. I am here to give relief to this sentient being. ”

After saying this, he immediately took off and went to Vulture Mountain, and the white Buddha said: "World-honored! I saw that more than 500 members of the family of the elder Qiaoti had been robbed of their essence by the evil spirits, and they had been suffocated on the ground for several days. When I saw that it was over, I felt pity and love and protection, and I only wished that the World-Honored One would allow me to set up this method of relief. Let the evil spirits subdue to people, let the walkers drive at will, and reinstate the elders to be the same. ”

When the time comes, from the top, the light is ten thousand fathoms, and the ground hides.

The participants said: "If you come today, hide in the light, this Bodhisattva will become a ** and educate sentient beings." ”

Shijizo Bodhisattva White Buddha said, "I now have a divine mantra that can get rid of evil minds and drive evil spirits again." I read that there was a Buddha in the past immeasurable, boundless, and far away, and the king of the burning light. After the destruction of the Buddha, in the image of the law, I lived in the ordinary land. There is an immortal, in the Kutro Mountain, who is good at Taoism. I saw that all beings were annoyed by the ghosts, just like the elders' houses. I made a vow at the time: to meet good knowledge and learn the method of subjugation. That is, to go to Kutro Mountain, and speak to the immortals. The immortal rejoiced, and within three days, he taught me to foresee all things and eliminate sins. He also summoned all the evil spirits to my office, and according to the teachings of the teacher, he subdued his heart and made his heart enlightened. In the blink of an eye, all the suffering beings in the hells will take the lotus flower, and all the sufferings will cease. At that time, the immortals, seeing that I had such divine power, gave me a record, and said: You are in the immeasurable and boundless world, the Buddha and the award, the name is Jizang. In the five turbid worlds, people are always incarnated in heaven and hell, saving sentient beings, and keeping them away from disasters. I will go to the other house now, and I will save him. ”

The World-Honored One listened, and the Bodhisattva turned into a Buddha, and more than 500 people were still alive for a while.

In front of the Buddha of the king of the Buddha, the former Brahmin woman made a vow: "May I do my best to do my best to suffer sentient beings in the future, and to make it convenient for me to be liberated." ”

In front of the Pure Lotus Blossom Buddha, the light-eyed woman made a vow: "If my mother is forever free from the three poisons and the lowly and even the body of a woman, she will never be doomed." May I vow to save all the hells in the world and all the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms in the hundreds of billions of eons after today. Leave hell, evil tastes, beasts, hungry ghosts, etc. If you are retribution for your sins, you will become a Buddha, and then I will become enlightened. ”

The great wish of the Jizo Bodhisattva can be summarized as "All sentient beings are exhausted, the Bodhi is proven, the hell is not empty, and the vow is not to become a Buddha." ”

Because of the fulfillment of great wishes, the speed at which Jizo Bodhisattva can save sentient beings is astonishing.

For example, the "Ten Rounds of Dafang Guang Sutra" says: Jizo Bodhisattva achieves sentient beings with incredible merits.

In the past immeasurable Ganges sand Buddhas, the great compassion and firm vows have been made for a long time, and all sentient beings have been accomplished, and the solemn power is like a thunderstorm.

In one meal, you can achieve immeasurable billions of so on, and that is done by others, with sufficient good roots.

The Ten Wheels Sutra of the Earthly Collection also says: "This virtuous man has attained immeasurable and innumerable incredible merits, and he is diligent and diligent, and he has the benefit and happiness of all sentient beings." In the past, in the countless Buddhas such as the Buddha's world, in order to achieve benefits and happiness, he initiated the endless vow of great compassion, solidity, courage and perseverance. Because of great compassion, he is strong and courageous, and he makes endless vows and increases his power. In one day and one night, or in one meal, he can liberate all sentient beings from all kinds of sorrows. and to satisfy all the desires of the law"

。

The "Zhancha Sutra" says: "Since the beginning of the heart of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, he has been able to pass the immeasurable and boundless inconceivable tribulation of monks, and he has been able to survive the sea of Sabhara for a long time, and his merits are satisfied. But according to the original desire, the power of the shadow should be ten directions. ”

Sabhara, that is, all wisdom, the wisdom of a Buddha.

Sapa Ruohai describes the great enlightenment and great wisdom of the Buddha, as deep and wide as the ocean.

It is said that the Jizo Bodhisattva practices in immeasurable and boundless eons.

It has already reached the sea of wisdom of the Buddha.

If the merits are complete, you should have become a Buddha a long time ago.

But the bodhisattva vows to do the best for all sentient beings, so he hides his true merits.

With the power of his own will, he is free and supernatural, and he appears everywhere to speak the Dharma and purify all sentient beings.

The Ranga Sutra also says: "If there is a bodhisattva of great compassion, you will never become a Buddha." ”

It means that the bodhisattva vows to save all sentient beings with great compassion, and although the merits and wisdom are the same as those of the Buddha, he does not appear as a Buddha, but always appears as a bodhisattva, and in the ten worlds, he liberates all sentient beings.
