Chapter 1061: Why Did Vimo Lay Monk Come?

At that time, the Buddha told Sariputta: There is a country name Miaoxi, the Buddha's name is not moving, it is Vimala who has not been born in another country.

At this time, when the Buddha saw that Sariputta had been taught by Vimala, he came in and told Sariputta that there was a world called the world of Wonderful Joy (i.e., the kingdom of the Buddhas), and that the name of the master there was immobility (i.e., immobility).

Vimala was born in this world after the destruction of that world: that is to say, Vimala was originally a great bodhisattva of the wonderful world, and when he came to our world, he became a layman.

Other scriptures also say that Vimala has already become a Buddha, and his predecessor was Jinsu Nyorai. Because he made a vow to benefit sentient beings, he came into this world in an incarnation.

Sariputta said: Never! World-honored one, it is a person who can give up the pure land and come to enjoy this anger and harm.

When Sariputta heard this, he sighed and said, "I never knew that there was such a thing, that a person like Vimala would be able to abandon the pure and solemn world and not live in it, and like to come to our angry world.

A few days ago, a colleague came to me, and he said that he now sees fame and fortune very lightly, and he no longer wants to ask for others.

I said, not necessarily, you are now in the midst of fame and fortune, and it is easy to say that it is very light, and when you are gone, see if you are still indifferent? Besides, you don't ask for anything, why do you come to me? Isn't that asking for me? Asking for the Dharma is also asking for something, which is not clear about one's own mental observation. So there are many beings in this world, where does the anger come from? It's all born of greed and hatred.

Vimala Sariputta: What is the meaning of the clouds, when the sun rises, it is in harmony with the underworld? Vimala asked Sariputta again, I ask you, at sunrise, will the sun be combined with the darkness?

Answer: No. When the sun rises, there is no darkness. Sariputta said, "No, when the sun comes out, all darkness will be gone." ”

Vimala said, "Why did the husband do Yan Futi? ”

Vimal asked, why did the sun go to Yanfuti? Yan Futi is our world, that is, the Southern Ganbu Continent, which is a noun in Buddhism, which has been discussed earlier.

Answer: I want to use the light to get rid of the underworld.

Sariputta replied, because the sun wants to illuminate the world and remove darkness.

Vimala said: "Bodhisattvas are like this, although they are not born in the pure Buddha land, in order to transform sentient beings, they do not join forces with foolishness, but they destroy the troubles of sentient beings. ”

Vimala layman said that the same is true of Mahayana bodhisattvas, who are reborn in impure worlds in order to facilitate the education of sentient beings, but they are not polluted by the foolish darkness of sentient beings, they are just to help sentient beings and eliminate the darkness of their afflictions.

Attention! This is the purpose of our study of Buddhism, and it is common to see in the temple that "the sun of wisdom is empty", which means that at any time in the environment of liberation, the sun of wisdom is in the sky, which can eliminate the troubles and darkness of sentient beings.

At that time, the masses were eager to see the world of joy and the unmoved world and its bodhisattvas. At this time, the crowd at the scene was eager to see the immobility of the Miaoxi world and his disciples.

The Buddha knew what all the congregations were reciting, and said to Vimala: Good man, for this congregation, now the wonderful joy of the country is not moving, and all the Bodhisattvas want to see it. When the Buddha knew what was going on, he said to Vimala, "I hope you can show the immobility of the world of joy and his disciples to the people present.

So Vimala thought to himself: I can't afford to sit down, but I will take over the kingdom of Miaoxi, the iron wall, the mountains, rivers and valleys, the rivers and seas, the springs, the mountains of Sumeru, the sun and the moon, the stars, the heavenly dragons, the ghosts and gods, the Brahma and other palaces, and the bodhisattvas, the people of the voices, the cities, the settlements, the men and women, the big and small, and even the immovable Buddha, and the Bodhi tree, the wonderful lotus, and those who can do Buddha deeds in the ten directions.

The three treasure steps, from Yan Futi to the Buddha Heaven, with this treasure level, the heavens come down, all for the salute and do not move, listen to the scriptures. The people of Yamafuti also ascended to the steps, ascended to the heavens. The achievement of the wonderful world is such an immeasurable merit, up to the Ajani Heaven, down to the water, cut off with the right hand, like the Tao family wheel, into this world, like a gorgeous beard, showing all the people.

At that time, Vimala thought to himself, "I should not leave my seat and bring the kingdom of the Buddha of Miaoxi here, so that the beings here can ascend the three steps to the heaven of the Buddha of Miaoxi to see the kingdom of the Buddha." With my right hand, I will grasp the kingdom of the Buddha from the top to the Ajani Tsa Heaven and down to the water, and cut it off like a clay clay, like a flower, and bring it to this world.
