Chapter 18: Seeing the Inheritance
The layout of the temple is very simple, the green lantern ancient Buddha is a futon, and other than that, there is nothing else at first glance.
At least in Wang Ziwen's opinion, this is not at all like the atmosphere that a dojo where the Great Emperor's inheritance is located should have.
Brother Fahai...... It can't be a mistake, right?
On the other hand, Ye Fan also had the same idea.
The so-called Da Lei Yin Temple, taken from the meaning of "the Buddha's voice said, the sound is like thunder", it is the place where the legendary Buddha and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teach and preach.
"Journey to the West" depicts that the Great Leiyin Temple should be on the spiritual mountain of the West Heaven Bliss, in the middle of the Moxiao Han, and the root is connected to the Sumeru vein. The peaks are arranged, and the strange stones are uneven. Under the cliff, the grass and flowers are flowers, and the purple mushroom is fragrant next to the winding path.
But this small ruined temple in front of me, which is so simple that there is almost nothing, does not look like it can squeeze out so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
I was about to help but step forward to ask, but I found that in front of me, this senior Pei had walked in front of the dilapidated Buddha statue at some point, and was carefully observing something.
Fahai was staring at the only Buddha statue in the small temple.
The Buddha statue is carved from a piece of marble that is as tall as a person, and the whole body is in the shape of white jade, although the face has been blurred in the passage of time, but the subtle parts of the body can still be seen from the exquisite skills of the carvers in the past.
The stone Buddha has a serene face, sits on its knees, and its left hand is placed horizontally on its left foot, which is the seal of fixation, which means meditation, and stretches out its right hand to cover the right knee, and the finger touches the ground, which is called the seal of touching the ground.
This is the image of the Buddha when he attained enlightenment, so even if the statue in front of him is not the true appearance of the ancient emperor Amitabha, at least it is the appearance of the Buddha's great enlightenment.
Regarding the speculation that there may be a Buddhist inheritance here, Fahai is a little more determined.
The touchdown seal is also known as the demon seal, which means subduing all demons, obviously implying that there are great demons subdued by the Buddha underground, so don't act rashly.
Now it seems that in the original book, Ye Fan and others were killed in Leiyin Temple, which may not be predestined for cause and effect.
Just imagine, the Buddha suppressed the crocodile here for thousands of years, why did the seal not break early or late, but it was destroyed after Ye Fan and his party entered the Da Lei Yin Temple?
It was not because Ye Fan and his party looted the Buddha treasure three feet high and destroyed the original seal, so it gave the crocodile ancestor the possibility of escaping.
Ye Fan and the others took the Buddha treasure because it caused the crocodile ancestor to break free from the seal, but the Buddha was merciful, and the Buddha treasure that was taken away in turn protected the group from the killing of the crocodile......
In such a cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant.
figured out the trick, and for a while, Fahai only felt that he had a much better understanding of the principles of cause and effect.
Even if you can't find the inheritance of Amitabha Buddha in the future, this alone is worth the trip.
Of course, it's great to be able to be happy.
Fahai silently closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, his eyes were like floating glass, and the mundane things he saw everywhere were eliminated from his appearance, and the essence remained.
It is the famous magic power of Buddhism - Tianyantong.
Through the eyes of heaven, many people in the small temple revealed their original faces, a half-broken demon pestle in the corner still had a little divine light, the divine patterns flowing on the bronze ancient lamp, the essence of the holy body in Ye Fan's body, and ...... Under that seemingly ordinary futon, there is a dazzling rich golden light!
Well?!
With a slight movement of his mind, Fahai stepped forward in three steps and two steps to uncover the futon.
However, there is nothing unusual about the empty slate underneath.
Fahai, who does not believe in evil, once again exerts his heavenly eye pass, and when he looks at this place again, his eyes are pierced by a little golden light surrounded by five-colored glow, and his eyes hurt.
No, there must be something wrong with this brick!
Trying to reach out and knock on it, there was no crisp sound coming from the hollow underground, and out of caution, Fahai did not dare to destroy this stone slab at will.
So what is it about you that you haven't observed carefully?
Fahai fell into deep thought.
Green lanterns, ancient Buddhas, futons......
The remaining inconspicuous things should have nothing to do with it, the spirit of the ancient emperor, since it is a inheritance, he will never engage in some crooked and small family means.
Then the key must be among the three.
If it was the original monk of this Great Leiyin Temple, what would he do on weekdays?
The ancient Buddha of the green lantern sits and recites sutras...... Wait a minute!
As if remembering something, Fahai put the futon back in its place, and then sat down on it without the slightest hesitation.
Looking at the Buddha statue with the eyes of heaven again, there have been some changes on it.
But I saw the Buddha statue on the bare chest, and three lines of words loomed:
Got it
Recite the scriptures
Enter my door
Chanting?What sutra to reiterate?
didn't wait long for Fahai to be happy, but another basin of cold water was splashed up.
Zen Buddhism uses the Diamond Sutra as its main sutra, the Pure Land Buddhism uses the Amitayus Sutra as its main sutra, and the Tendai Buddhism uses the Lotus Sutra as its main sutra......
Almost all the different sects have their own scriptures in mind.
The Buddha asked himself to recite all the scriptures, could it be that he memorized all the scriptures in the previous volume?
Although he has the ability to never forget, Fahai doesn't think that Jiulong will wait patiently for him to reach that time.
In the same way, he didn't think that the Buddha would give him such a brain-clearing problem.
Then there is only one possibility, and after a little hesitation, Fahai recited in a low voice:
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it......"
It is not a profound meaning, but it is the most popular and fundamental Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.
Buddhism needs to be witnessed, and the emphasis is on enlightenment.
This sutra is a Mahayana sutra, and it is said for those who have a Mahayana mind. Although the text is about it, its meaning is very rich.
There are two hundred and six crosses, but they contain all the mysteries of the six hundred volumes of Prajna, that is, the essence of the Great Tibetan Holy Religion, including all the essences.
In a short period of time, the only answer that Fahai could think of was the answer that the Buddha wanted to hear.
Sure enough, with the words chanting in the mouth of the Fahai, the Buddha was prosperous for a while.
Ye Fan, who was closest to him, was pushed away by the gentle Buddha light and hit a damaged bell chime, revealing a cool and damaged wooden plaque hidden under it.
And in the blink of an eye, in front of everyone's eyes, Fahai disappeared into this burst of Buddha light.
Wang Ziwen, who had already picked up the bronze ancient lamp on the side and couldn't wait to start playing, was dumbfounded, the big guy deserved to be the big guy, this inheritance ...... I really found it for him!
No matter what the people outside think, Fahai at this time is in an ethereal sea of light, surrounded by Zen sound and Buddha, like a sky of flowers, making people feel comfortable and peaceful.
In front of him, less than three zhang away from the Fahai, a handsome Buddha looked at him with a smile, pointing to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and was slowly standing up from the lotus.
