It is said that from the land of Supo to the west, after experiencing ten trillion Buddha lands, there is a merit ** Miaohua world, called the world of bliss, also known as the pure land of the Buddha country. Why is it called Bliss?

Because the sentient beings of the kingdom have jumped out of the Three Realms, are not in the Five Elements, do not fall into the six realms of reincarnation, have no obstacles, have no fear, have no birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, unbelieving, and the eight kinds of suffering, and only suffer from thousands of kinds of wonderful happiness, so the happiness is boundless.

What does Elysium really look like? It is actually a higher dimension than three-dimensional space, which is not visible to the human eye, but in order to make it understandable to the naked eye, the Buddha described it with the beautiful things in three-dimensional space, so that human beings can roughly imagine its bright and beautiful.

It is surrounded by seven balustrades, seven nets and seven trees, there are seven treasure pools in the center, the pool is full of eight merits water, the bottom of the pool is covered with golden sand, there are steps of gold and silver and glazed synthesis on the four sides of the pool, there are pavilions and pavilions on the pool, decorated with gold and silver, glaze, agate, brilliant, the lotus flower that floats in the pool is as big as a wheel, shining green, yellow, red, white light, emitting a refreshing aroma.

The earth is paved with gold, the square is vast, unobstructed, and the sky often floats with hundreds of thousands of fairy music, and the mandala flowers are the rain, and everything is wonderful. The sentient beings of his country are immortal and immortal, and their longevity is boundless, and they usually dress up all kinds of wonderful flowers with their sleeves and give to others.

Amitabha Buddha sits in the Elysium and speaks the Dharma, emitting ten thousand golden rays of light up and down, which is immeasurably bright and illuminates all directions. His disciples are immeasurably numerous, and as long as the ten trillion Buddha land beings look up to his brilliance, they all make a vow, calling the south no Amitabha Buddha, willing to be born in another country, and can be with immeasurable and boundless good people.

At some point, Amitabha Buddha sat on the lotus flower in the Seven Treasure Pond and preached the scriptures, saying, "The one who speaks of all the Dharma is not all the Dharma, but is called all the Dharma." All the Dharma, there is no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no longevity. All things that have a way, such as dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and electricity, should be viewed as such. ”

As he spoke, the breeze blew, the sky fell, and all kinds of wonderful sounds sounded at the same time. The immeasurable arhats and the bodhisattvas listened attentively. Parrots, white cranes, peacocks and other exotic birds shuttle and fly, making pleasant and beautiful calls, as if they are interpreting the seven Bodhi points.

Amitabha Buddha also said, "Pure Land sentient beings have heard this, and you can be reborn in our country as a result of planting great good roots, cultivating great merits, and accumulating great causes, so you should not suffer all kinds of sufferings but only receive all kinds of happiness. From then on, to the east, through ten trillion Buddha lands, there is a land of sampa, known as the five turbid evil worlds, do you know? ”

When a macaw heard the sutra and danced, it screamed and screamed lively, and suddenly flew to Amitabha's shoulder, and shouted sideways, "I know, I know." The five turbidities are turbidity, seeing turbidity, troubles turbidity, sentient beings turbidity, and life turbidity. ”

Amitabha Buddha smiled and said, "The land of Suva has these five turbidities, so it is called the evil world, which is the manifestation of the karma of all beings in other countries. Shakyamuni Buddhism in this country, has incredible merits, can be difficult for it, in the five turbid and evil worlds to attain the three bodhisattvas, for the suffering of all beings in the world of unbelievable dharma. ”

The macaw jumped up from the shoulder of the Buddha, flying and circling, Amitabha Buddha pinched his fingers and counted, and said: "O calamity, at the foot of Mount Meru, in the Aral Sea, there is the Southern Zhanbu Continent, the aura of the people on the continent is blinded by the five covers, and the good heart is bound by the ten entanglements, so they fall into boundless troubles, and they can endure the ten evils and refuse to leave, and they will fall into reincarnation forever!" ”

The macaw cried out in a melodious voice: "If the people on the Nanzhan Continent can hear my wonderful voice, then it will be like an initiation, and they will be able to cross the sea of suffering to the other side!" ”

Amitabha Buddha said, "There is a country in the continent that has built a long wall to keep its people in captivity. Recently, the canal has been dug and the people are not sympathetic, and the world will be in chaos. Because there are many cultivators in that country, and there are also psychic people, if you have compassion, you can go to the past eons and proclaim the sound of the Dharma, so that all sentient beings can recite the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. ”

The macaw said happily: "I must go through ten trillion Buddha lands to go to the East, even if I can spread my wings and shake the sheep's horns up to 90,000 miles, the clouds are overwhelming, and the sky is blue, but when I fly there, I am afraid that the world will not know how many generations and eons I have experienced?" ”

Amitabha Buddha said, "It's okay, I can help you!" ”

The macaw also said: "I was reborn from the Pure Land of the Buddha Kingdom in the five turbid evil worlds, I am afraid that my mana will be lost, and I also ask the World-Honored One to pass on a few methods to me and give me a few treasures, so that I can live up to my mission!" ”

Amitabha Buddha said: "Although you are happy, bold, and excited, when you get to the other place, at the critical turn, you will naturally give birth to mana, like Vajra breaking the world, invincible!" ”

He also said, "The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold." When you go to the palace of the next life, you have to go through tribulations, first a fish, which is given to the guests to enjoy, but it is in name only, and then you meet the owner of the kitchen, and there is no name. ”

The macaw said: "The world-honored one is profound, and he does not know how to perceive it. ”

"You'll understand! You ready? I'm sending you on your way. Amitabha raised his hand and pushed, and the macaw had already flown into a loving boat.

"You close your eyes and count one, two, three."

The macaw closed its eyes, and when it counted to two, it suddenly became curious, and quietly opened its eyes, but heard Cizhou roaring back. Amitabha sighed: "If you don't listen to me, there will be another calamity in your old age." ”

The macaw was so frightened that it closed its eyes tightly, silently recited one, two, and three, and then opened its eyes, and it was already in the sky of light and sound, and Cizhou turned into a golden light and disappeared from the black hole in an instant.

The macaw spread its wings and fluttered down, and saw a big mountain towering into the sky, and there was a big tree on the top of the mountain, which was thousands of feet high, with lush branches and leaves, and many fruits. There is also a large tree halfway up the mountain, the trunk is divided into two, but it grows together, and it is also leafy and fruitful.

The macaw thought to himself: Could this be the legendary Mount Meru? Isn't the tree of life and the tree of good and evil? While thinking about it, I flew around the mountain, but I saw that the mountain was thousands of miles high, 108,000 miles wide, and the mountains under the big trees were stacked on top of each other, lush and green, and birds and animals grew in the meantime.

There are seven other mountains of gold around Mount Meru, which are glittering and full of gold treasures. Outside the Qijin Mountain, there is the vast Aral Sea, which is as blue as jade, and the waves are not alarmed.

The macaw saw the sea, very happy, swept down from the sky of light and sound, flapped its wings and slammed it, its power was no less than that of the Chaotian Aya and the Hot Wheels, only to see the sea water from the sweep to separate the two sides, the bottomless, the wind and waves set off hit nine thousand miles, slapped on the Seven Gold Mountain, rolled up a thousand piles of snow.

The macaw marched forward on the rough sea, screaming loudly: "Let the storm come harder!" "One moment it goes straight into the clouds, the next it falls sharply, the typhoon roars, the waves are surging, and it affects four continents.

Let's say that there is a Huaguo Mountain in the sea near the Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and there is a fairy stone on the mountain, which has nine orifices and eight holes, and bears the essence of the sun and the moon every day, and actually gives birth to immortal cells in the stone. At this time, the typhoon blown by the macaw suddenly bursts, producing a stone egg. See the wind turn into a stone monkey.

This stone monkey later worshipped the gods and immortals as a teacher in Xiniu Hezhou, learned somersault clouds and seventy-two changes, and had great magical powers, and then followed Elder Tang to do a career, and his deeds are detailed in "Journey to the West", which is not listed here.

After the macaw was happy, he turned to the south and flew away, and saw a continent, the southeast is the sea, the southwest is the plateau snow mountain, and the north has a long wall of thousands of miles, and said to himself: "Could it be that this is the Nanzhan Continent?" "Fly out of the clouds and mist, go southeast, over large areas of primeval forest, and into the valley basin.

In the early spring of the seventh year of Wude, just after the Lantern Festival, the sky was snowing with goose feathers, and the macaw was proud of the frost and snow, flying north from the Hanzhong Basin.

Fly over the snow-capped Qinling Mountains, come to the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in the fertile wilderness, along the way, but see the peaks and peaks, the peaks are showing, the mountains and plains are all pink and jade, it is really: thousands of peaks and bamboo shoots, thousands of jade, ten thousand trees and pines, and ten thousand clouds.

A majestic city suddenly appeared on the Weiping Plain, and the largest capital city in the world, Chang'an City, has finally arrived. Along the central axis of Chang'an City, the macaw flies to the upper garden to rest from the Mingde Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Chengtian Gate and the Xuanwu Gate.

The next day, the house of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Samurai Yu, who lived in the Yongxingfang mansion, suddenly became lively, and the doctors, medicine boys, and Yahuan went in and out, and it turned out that his wife Yang was in labor. Wu Shiyu specially asked for leave to accompany Mrs. Yang at home, and when he saw that everyone in the house was busy, he came to the courtyard to relax.

The macaw flew from the upper garden to the locust tree in the courtyard and landed, and passers-by saw a colorful bird in the heavy snow, and they were very curious, stopped to watch, and were amazed.

When the warrior saw an uninvited guest flying in his yard, he remembered You Heng's "Parrot Fu", and couldn't help but chant: "The toe is dan, and the green clothes are green." Pick up the beautiful face, bite the good sound. ”

The macaw flew over the delivery room, chirped a few times, and suddenly disappeared! A few maids came up and said, "Master, Madame is born!" Samurai hurriedly walked to the delivery room, and there was a baby's cry in the room, and the doctor held the baby to show him: "Congratulations to the master, this child is so cute!" ”

The samurai looked closely and saw that the baby had a pointed head and was winking at him with his eyes open. The samurai smiled and said, "Little naughty, so cute!" Then he walked over to Mrs. Yang's bed and sat down, comforting Mrs. Yang.
