Chapter 854: Sixty-two Grades
The Buddha told the Bodhisattva: Thou shalt do Vima and ask questions.
The White Buddha said: World-honored! I can't afford to ask questions, so what? Remembering my past, living in the quiet room, like the emperor's release, drums and strings, coming to my place, and his dependents, I am full, palms are respectful, and stand on one side.
Now the protagonist of the Vimala Sutra has been replaced by a bodhisattva.
It is important to note that the name of each bodhisattva is closely related to the Dharma.
To hold the world is to maintain the world, all the Dharma in the world is the Dharma, the Dharma in the world is the world, and the Dharma in the world is the Dharma out of the world, there is no difference.
Only in this way can we practice and practice the Tao.
The Buddha turned to the Bodhisattva and asked him to represent the Buddha to probe the illness of the Vimal monks.
The Bodhisattva told the Buddha that he was not qualified to go, because he used to live in an ashram and practice, and he probably didn't know which mountain he was in, and he built a hut or built a temple, and the temple was not clean, so he found another room, and the room was closed, and no one could enter, so it was pure.
You must know that the Great Demon King is the so-called Heavenly Asura, and he still has merit and a considerable kindness, but his anger and troubles are constant, and the seeds of all karmic habits are continuous.
In ancient times, the word "demon" was written as grinding, which means tribulation and suffering.
Frustration and troubles are all grinding. You are hungry and have nothing to eat, and rice is grinding.
When husband and wife quarrel, each other is each other's grind.
In later generations, if you change the stone to a ghost character and become a demon, you will think of the devil as a ghost.
In fact, all monks have demons. For example, I often say that I am still demonized all day long, but I am not afraid of any heavenly demons or yin demons, and I am most afraid of human demons.
People are looking for trouble with you, and it's really annoying to see it.
Don't think that seeing anything with three heads and six arms, teeth exposed, and a green face is not terrible at all.
The human demon is the most terrifying, I think it is much more terrible for people to become demons, this is the truth, you have to pay attention to this truth.
Another truth is that demons and Buddhas have the same power.
Christianity says that God is omnipotent, but why can't he subdue demons?
God and the devil coexist, how great God's ability is, how big the devil is, then God is not necessarily omnipotent, this is the most important.
The same is true of Buddhism, the Buddha can subdue everything, but in the end, he still can't subdue the demons.
In the "Nirvana Sutra", it is said that the Buddha is going to nirvana, so he asked this demon king Bo Xun, okay, I am leaving this world, you should always be happy, right?
The demon king said, almost, happy, but not happy.
The Buddha said, "After I am gone for 500 years, I will still have my disciples, and the Fa-rectification will still be able to live in the world, so what else can you do to destroy Buddhism after 500 years?"
These are all in the Nirvana Sutra.
The demon king Bo Xun replied, you old man can go with peace of mind! I have a way, I will wear your clothes, eat your food, and speak your scriptures.
The Buddha said, "Ah! You can do it! You're amazing! This is the power of the devil to destroy Buddhism, and we see that this era is coming.
As the old Chinese saying goes: The Tao is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and the power of the devil is greater than yours.
The same is true of the principle of being a human being, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
No two good things come together, but when bad things come, many come one after another, and this world of sampa is so painful.
The devil is not uncommon, there are demons everywhere, and it is great that the realm of life can not be enchanted by demons.
The demon king Bo Xun is the great demon king of the heavenly realm, and the Buddha also said in the "Huayan Sutra" that the great demon king is the transformation of the great bodhisattva of the ten earths, and he deliberately takes the path of the demon king to hone people to see if you can pass the test and become enlightened.
Therefore, cultivators don't have to be afraid of demons, after going through some demonic obstacles, the truth has progressed, and after passing this level, you will take a leap forward.
Therefore, the Demon King Bo Xun is in the realm of heaven and man, which cannot be seen. He brought 12,000 beautiful celestial maidens, and he became the emperor himself.
Emperor Shakti lived in the center of the thirty-three days, which is called the Jade Emperor in China.
The Bodhisattva was cultivating in the quiet room, and at that time he didn't know that it was the Demon King who came, thinking that the Jade Emperor had come with a celestial being, and he was playing music.
The scriptures do not elaborate, but they must have descended from the sky with colorful auspicious light to the bodhisattva.
The emperor led his retinue to salute the bodhisattva and then stood beside him, worshipping him like that.
If you see a person who has cultivated like this, if you don't say that there are so many celestial people when you meditate or chant sutras, and you come to a land lord or a city god to kowtow to you, I don't know how happy you will be.
Teacher! My kung fu has improved, and the lord of the city god has come to worship me.
You must be so happy that you're crazy, not just crazy.
