Chapter 5 The shower leaves people, and the Buddha is only the former leader
Everything that has a appearance is false, and if you see things that are not like things, you will see them as they are.
Although Buddhism has 32 phases, not those who have 32 phases are Buddhas, and if you look at the Buddha according to your external appearance, you will not be able to find the place where the Buddha is.
Lin Dong closed the Buddhist scroll in his hand.
In this wild goose pagoda temple, Lin Dong's practice has ended, and now the ancient Buddha is dead on the lamp, such as the Buddha Nirvana, Wutian is in charge of the Three Realms, and the evil ghosts of hell are pouring out, it is when the Three Realms are chaotic, Lin Dong can't practice too much in the temple, it should be a walk.
When Lin Dong walked out of the door, he saw the host of the Yanta Temple holding a knife in one hand and a cat in the other.
The knife rested on the cat's neck, allowing sixty-two monks on both sides of the temple to participate in the meditation machine.
"What?"
Lin Dong asked the novice beside him.
"Layman."
Shami saw Lin Dong and said: "The masters of the East and West academies are competing for this kitten, and when the host comes here, he puts the knife on the neck of this cat, and asks me to wait for the enlightenment of the Zen machine, and if I can't wait for the enlightenment, the politician will kill the cat." ”
Lin Dong looked at the host, wearing a robe, holding a knife, looking at the face was not intimidation, and then looking at the kitten, with white hair, the body was only the size of a palm, extremely pitiful, and his heart moved, so that the novice next to him took off his shoes, Lin Dong walked forward with his shoes, put the shoes on the host's bald head, hugged the cat in the host's hand, and walked outside without saying a word.
The monks of the two houses compete for cats, and cats are the cause.
The host kills the cat with a knife, which means to cut off the cause.
And the surrounding monks all couldn't understand it, and the host really wanted to kill the cat, which put the cart before the horse, so Lin Dong put his shoes on the host's head to warn him, asking him not to put the cart before the horse.
This matter is a public case of Zen Buddhism, and it has always been debated by killing to stop bad karma, but it was just a coincidence that Lin Dong caught up.
"Meow, meow."
The kitten was rescued by Lin Dong, and called one after another in Lin Dong's hand, and then grabbed Lin Dong's chest and clothes with his hands and feet, climbed to Lin Dong's shoulder, and licked Lin Dong's face a few times.
"Alright, alright."
Lin Dong stretched out his hand to pet the cat and said, "I will find you a good person to take care of later, as long as you catch more mice, you will be healthy and worry-free." ”
As soon as he heard this, the kitten seemed to understand human nature, and immediately panicked, and got into Lin Dong's arms, refusing to leave.
In the world of immortals, it is not surprising that animals are psychic, but these two whining sounds made Lin Dong's heart soften, and he stretched out his hand a little, and it was right in the kitten's head.
This time, it can be regarded as opening the spiritual light and the door of wisdom to this cat.
"Hereafter thou shalt do good deeds."
Lin Dong admonished: "If you dare to follow your personal ability, be strong, aggressive, and have a sense of cause and effect, I will not spare you." ”
Reaching out to put the kitten in the corner of the wall, Lin Dong stroked it and said: "Since I have given you some light, I will also give you a name, I hope that you will be like the water of the Yangtze River in the future, and you will be blessed with all the people, so you will be called Xiaobai." ”
Enlightened, the cat called Xiaobai is sleeping, and Lin Dong's words clearly fall into its consciousness.
Reaching out and petting the cat twice, Lin Dong got up and walked away.
The world of Journey to the West is in the same vein as the Journey to the West, the world is still four continents, there are Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Zhou, South Zhan Buzhou, North Ju Luzhou, where Lin Dong is currently located, is the starting point of the scriptures of the year, Nanzhan Buzhou, and Lin Dong's purpose is to collect relics and go to Lingshan to read all the three Tibetan scriptures.
Tang monks and apprentices learned scriptures from the west back then, but they only took back a Tibetan scriptures, and the three Tibetan scriptures are now all in Lingshan.
When reading the scriptures in the Yanta Temple, Lin Dong's conspiracy theory was strengthened.
According to the scriptures, the ancient Buddha went to a place, the place was muddy, and at this time there was a young child who spread his hair on the ground for the ancient Buddha to pass through, and the ancient Buddha felt that the young child had a Buddha fate, and after the reincarnation of the young child, he ignited the young child, and this young child was the later Buddha.
According to the urine nature of the Journey to the West world, the catastrophe of the Three Realms and the extinguishing of the lamp are likely to be a means for him to exercise his conspiracy, and the lamp should be a thorn in his side after he takes power.
After all, the Buddhas of this world are not true Buddhas, but politicians.
At this time, Lin Dong's environment is a small world in twenty-eight days, a small part of the true god world, all the gods and Buddhas have characteristics, but just as human nature is complex, gods and Buddhas also have many faces, so there is such a side.
Collecting relics, you don't need to collect it, as long as you pinch one in your hand, it is enough to make the rest useless, as long as you have one in your hand, whether it is Sun Wukong or Wutian, you will find it.
At this time, the time of Nanzhan Buzhou was the Song Dynasty.
Compared with history, it was during the Northern Song Dynasty, militarily, the Northern Song Dynasty was weak, and among the people Lin Dong looked at, the people also suffered from heavy taxes.
When the original Yingzhen Sutra, such as saying that Nanzhan Buzhou is the sea of right and wrong, saying that he is not greedy or killing in Xiniu Hezhou, Tang monks and apprentices set off from Nanzhan Buzhou, the more they go to the vicinity of Lingshan, the more powerful the demons and monsters are, the more unscrupulous, and this kind of thing also happens to eat people from a country, and when it comes to taking the true scriptures, they will be asked for bribes.
It's also that Tang Seng has no temper, so he changed to Lin Dong, and picked him on the spot, if he didn't give the scriptures, Lin Dong immediately asked Sun Wukong to take him to his daughter's country, and when the time came, he would give Li Shimin a message, saying that if he came to be not a thing, he didn't want the scriptures.
Shaking his head, Lin Dong removed the distracting thoughts from his mind.
Lin Dong remembered that one was in the Shuangta Temple, one was given to Sun Wukong by the ancient Buddha of the lamp, and one was in the place where the Bull Demon King was buried, as well as the Heavenly Realm, the Mongolian Realm, and Huaguo Mountain.
Lin Dong wants to find it, naturally he can't go to the Heavenly Realm, the Mongolian Realm, Huaguo Mountain, these places, all of them are Longtan Tiger's Den, even if it is relatively safe Huaguo Mountain, Lin Dong doesn't want to show any clues in front of the monkey spirit monkey.
Walked out of Chang'an.
Ancient style, this world is no stranger to Lin Dong, with Buddhism, Lin Dong steady pace, fast as a galloping horse, unconsciously out of the crowd during the march, mixed in the crowd of people, but did not alarm the passers-by at all.
On the way, Lin Dong gave charity due to karma, if he saw it with his own eyes, the disaster and predicament in front of him, Lin Dong did not hesitate to stretch out his hand, small injuries and pains, small disasters and small difficulties, these are completely hand-to-hand, not worth mentioning, and in the evening, suddenly rainstormed, Lin Dong had no umbrella in his hand, in this world of true gods, Lin Dong's personal space did not carry, and he was not willing to show off his magical powers, so he found a pavilion on the side of the mountain to temporarily avoid the rain.
Who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and until the evening, there was still no intention of stopping, and Lin Dong sat upright in the pavilion.
The night is dark, the five fingers are not visible, the wind is walking on all sides under the gazebo, between the mountains, the tiger roars and the wolf howls, among the mountains and forests, there seems to be a snake crawling, there seems to be a strange scurrying.
Being here is a time when people are cranky, frightened and suspicious, and Lin Dong has faced ten times more dangerous than this along the way, a hundred times, just a night, how can he scare Lin Dong?
Don't chant scriptures, don't move, calm and normal.
"Resident true body, pure and clear body, Amitabha."
There is a Buddha name faintly in the night, and then the night showers gradually go away, a bright moon lights up in the night, all the strange sounds around are gone, and the white mist is misty, covering the world with a layer of silver veil.
Ananda and Mahakala stood in the pine forest, watching the forest move in the pavilion with their discerning eyes.
Losing to Lin Dong in the debate on the issue of the Buddha made Ananda inevitably have grievances, and now Wutian has just occupied the Three Realms, there are many things, and there are demons at hand, Ananda Kaye, as a traitor to Lingshan, has been ostracized in Lingshan, so he has time to meet Lin Dong in the world.
The heavy rain and strange sounds were all caused by Ananda and the two of them.
As long as Lin Dong's heart moves, his mind will be lost immediately, and he will come to whatever he is afraid of, and he will toss endlessly, but Lin Dong's heart is empty, so everything is empty, and everything is not touched.
The night is over.
Lin Dong got up in the pavilion, just about to walk out, there was a sudden rainstorm outside, two monks wearing monk's robes, monk's robes covering their bald heads, hurriedly came to the pavilion to avoid the rain.
After asking each other, Lin Dong knew that these two people were foot monks, one was called Duowen, the other was called Duowen, and they talked to each other, and Duowen did not shy away from telling Lin Dong that the two were avoiding heavy taxes and had to become a monk and so on.
"I see."
Lin Dong smiled at the corner of his mouth and invited the two of them to sit in the pavilion.
The rain last night, now the rain that suddenly leaves people, smells a lot, a lot of bitterness, Lin Dong has already known the cause and effect, the first thing to smell is Ananda, as for the bitterness, it should be the first ascetic Mahakal leaf.
"When do you say that this world will be exempted from heavy taxes, and when will the people of the world be happy and peaceful?"
Monk Duowen said.
"Practicing my Buddha will bring you peace."
The bitter monk said: "The people in the world are like young sons who abandon their fathers and run away, their father's family has thousands of wealth, and the son begs to run for pity, and he is free to abandon his family wealth, and he is thrown into the sea of suffering without knowing it, which is sad and pitiful." ”
Mahakala said:
The Buddha is like the father of the landlord.
Man is like a beggar's child.
The family has a lot of money, the child is a beggar outside, thinking that he has nothing, and the father takes pity on him and wants to bring his son over, but the son thinks it is an abduction and sells it, and uses the treasure to let the son come, and the son thinks it is a trap, anyway, he does not believe that the landlord is his father.
In the end, the father had no choice but to come to his son in rags and teach his son, and the son gradually walked out of poverty.
Then the parable comes, the Buddha is as painstaking as your father, and this is how the Buddha is guiding you, so you should make offerings to him, just like you are offering to your father, no matter how much you do, you can't repay the Buddha's grace.
"Heavy taxation lies with the state."
Lin moved his voice and said, "If you can persuade the king to exempt himself from heavy taxes and act in good government, won't the people of the world be happy and peaceful?" ”
Smell more, bitter and bitter, the two monks glanced at each other.
"The people in the world don't know how many, the country doesn't know how many, the sea of suffering is so big and boundless, how can all living beings be happy and peaceful?"
Duowen asked.
"Let all beings become Buddhas."
Lin Dong replied.
"But sentient beings are stupid, they don't know the Fa-rectification, they have many slanders, they don't know how to repent, what is it?"
Duo Ku asked.
"Your Fa-rectification can make sentient beings fed, sentient beings clothed well, and sentient beings happy and peaceful, and sentient beings will not slander your Fa-rectification."
Lin Dong replied.
"But the Dharma of Buddhism lies in liberation."
Duowen said: "Greed, hatred, ignorance, three poisons, three dirts, bad people's good hearts, lust, desire, action, and knowledge of the five aggregates are all obstacles, if people indulge in joy, won't they indulge in the sea of suffering in the world?" ”
"King Shakyamuni was born, and he is still a positive fruit."
Lin Dong said indifferently: "Therefore, becoming a Buddha has nothing to do with origin, regardless of the environment, as long as you practice hard, all living beings can become Buddhas." ”
