Chapter 66

Na Cihang said: "According to the Buddhist scriptures, "Shakyamuni" was a child born to a man and a deer before the immeasurable eons, named Yijiao Immortal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Once, this man cursed the sky not to rain because he had injured his foot on a slippery road. Wang Zhaoren wanted to break the magic power of the immortals and make it rain. Fan Tuo then responded to this recruitment, and lured a corner of the immortal to have an adulterous affair with him, the immortal's magical power was lost, and the sky rained, this immortal is the later Shakyamuni, this **** is the later Shakyamuni's wife. ”

It is said that the wife of the Shakya tribal chieftain "King of Pure Rice" "Maya", who has not given birth to children for many years, has been 50 years old in the year of King Pure Rice, and "Maya" is also 45 years old.

According to the customs of the Indian tribes at that time, women had to return to their mothers when they gave birth to children, and when Maya returned to her parents' house to give birth, she was tired from the journey and was alarmed, and "Shakyamuni" was born under the tree in the garden by the roadside.

It was an unfortunate child, his mother died 7 days after he was born, and he was raised by his aunt as a child.

Siddhartha was contemplative, sensitive to external objects, and introverted since he was a child, which cannot but be said to be related to his tragic life experience.

When she was about 16 years old, she married the "princess of a neighboring country" (that is, a cousin from another village) "Yajendra", and six years later gave birth to a son: Rajna. Another 6 years later, at the age of 29, Siddhartha "Prince" suddenly ran away from home.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, when Siddhartha was 29 years old, he felt many sufferings such as life, old age, sickness, and death, and abandoned his royal life and left home to practice. According to Buddhist scriptures, when he was 35 years old, he suddenly realized his enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and founded Buddhism. Since then, he has been preaching in the Ganges River valley in northern and central India, and is known as "Shakyamuni". "Shakya" refers to a member of the Shakya tribe, and "Muni" refers to a person who has become a monk and practiced asceticism. "Shakyamuni" means "ascetic from the Shakyamuni clan"

According to the Buddhist scriptures, when Shakyamuni was about 79 or 80 years old, he died of "red dysentery" after eating the "sandalwood ear" given by others in the city of Nagara in the city of Mora Kingdom. On March 15, 486 B.C., Buddhism called it "Great Nirvana"

"Oh, I see, you mean that the current Buddha is actually just a ghost after that person's death." That year, I couldn't help but laugh and said, and I was even more complacent about my cleverness.

"Eh, you can't say that, the current Buddha, because of his cultivation and enlightenment, has obtained boundless cultivation, but it is not the ghost you said that can be concluded, but he has been appointed by Nuwa Niangniang to rule the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, it can be said that he is now the real overlord of this world." The Cihang Dao man said a little displeased.

"So what's going on with the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man, can you tell me a little more about it?" Nian is a little bit of a love to break the casserole and ask in the end.

"Ao, of course you can, the sky naturally refers to the great god who lives in the sky, headed by the Jade Emperor, and there are more general Wencheng generals under him, who were masters of subduing demons and eliminating demons at the beginning, and they are all good at kung fu, and they want to have greater mana, I heard that the Jade Emperor also implemented a major political reform, and implemented one court and two systems, that is, some people who have physical mortal births, but also some talents with greater mana, all of them are summoned to the heavenly court, and they are all entrusted with important tasks, even including those dragons, and some people with good hearts, The demons and monsters who are willing to reform and no longer harm the human world, and who are not willing to be enemies of the heavenly court, have all been crowned as great immortals, so the strength of the heavenly court is now incredible.

Earth naturally refers to the netherworld, that is, those ghosts that already exist, as well as those various ghosts that cannot live in the underworld, their leader is now the king of Yama, and there are more than a dozen big leaders in charge of their duties, division of labor and cooperation, the real leader is the king of the earth Bodhisattva.

Human nature refers to the earthly yang world that everyone can see in the ordinary time on this earth, and their rulers are naturally those kings and the princes and ministers under the king, but these princes and ministers are also meritorious or snobbish people in the netherworld or heavenly court in their previous lives, and they have been sent to the human world because they have committed some mistakes. "That Cihang real person seems to have really put in a lot of hard work, collecting and sorting out a lot of information about the Buddha.

"Then can you explain to me some truth about Shakyamuni Buddha, like you said that those heavenly and earthly mansions like us mortals, I don't know if there will be opportunities in the future, to patronize it, I think we should learn more about the truth of the Buddha, and then go to learn from him in a down-to-earth manner." That year, he said very sincerely.

"Okay, I'll tell you some more questions about the truth about the Buddha," he said, "Because of the archaeological evidence, we can very accurately deduce the location of the "Shakya tribe" and the "Kapila Guardian Kingdom". In present-day southwestern Nepal, on the border with India, on the east bank of the Lapzi River and north of the Ropoti River.

At the beginning, the "Shakya tribe" was mainly composed of the small town of "Kapila", plus about 10 nearby villages. It covers an area of about 320 square miles. This is the so-called "Kapila Guardianship", nor is it a feudal monarchy, and the "lords" of each settlement enjoy a high degree of autonomy, in order to strengthen their relations with each other and jointly defend themselves against foreign enemies, form an alliance and elect a lord as their "king".

It is worth noting that "king" is used both for "king" and for "princes" and "chiefs of tribes". Every tribe is a small country, primitive and simple, and by no means as populous, prosperous and powerful as the Buddhist scriptures exaggerate.

That is to say, in every tribe and every small city in ancient India there was a king and a prince.

"Shakyamuni" and "King of Pure Rice" are such characters. ”

"Oh, I understand, in fact, the Buddha was originally an ordinary and ordinary real existence of the person, because he has great will, great kindness, so that he can become a Buddha, in fact, each of us can be like him, as long as there is perseverance and perseverance." It was a bit of a jubilant year.

"Okay, that's a good point, you are also very perceptive, and I believe that in the near future, the two of us will definitely be able to attain the right results and become Buddhas," the practitioner said firmly.

Of course, the two chatted all the way, and that year they also told Cihang Daoist people some interesting anecdotes about the birth of the Buddha that they had heard, including when the Buddha was born, the two "dragon kings" of "Nanda" and "Yubo Nanda" spit out clean water in the void, one warm and one cool, in order to wash the body of the "prince". This is also the origin of the annual Buddhist Buddha Bathing Festival, and so on.
