Xiao Lingjue smiled and said nothing, carefully observing himself in front of him, he could clearly feel that although his momentum in the mirror had not changed, the fortitude in his eyes was a little better than his current self, and his delicate face had more mature charm.

The old monk asked, "Why are you obsessed with a stinky skin, are you just a layman?" ”

Xiao Lingjue explained with a smile: "Master, if you look at me inside the Sansheng Stone, it is obvious that I am a circle bigger, do you know what this means?" ”

The old monk was puzzled, looked at Xiao Lingjue suspiciously, and asked, "Why?" ”

Xiao Lingjue said solemnly: "It shows that the poor monk has not passed away in this life, and the obsession of the poor monk has not been completed, the poor monk... Can't die. ”

The old monk was horrified, this kid was not afraid of death, and he didn't dare to die until his obsession was completed......

The old monk secretly said in his heart: You are really still you, and you have never changed, but this way of heaven is difficult to fight, and you can do it and cherish it!

Xiao Lingjue's body moved, and he was about to go to see his future self on the Sansheng Stone, but he was pulled by the old monk, and the old monk said: "Amitabha, the third side of the Sansheng Stone cannot be seen, it contains the heavenly machine, the Buddha's day: no clouds, no clouds."

If you look at it, this future will be disrupted, and the chaos in the future will cause the creatures of the Three Realms to be devastated by charcoal. ”

Xiao Lingjue stopped, stunned for a moment, then stopped the thought in his heart, and then slowly stepped aside, and said with a serious expression:

"Amitabha, I'm still not optimistic, but, master, how do I return to my world?"

The old monk smiled and said: "You have come from somewhere, naturally, if you want to return to the place where you go, just follow your heart." ”

Xiao Lingjue said again: "Then what kind of place is this?" ”

The old monk said calmly: "You already know in your heart, why do you need to ask the old man more? ”

Xiao Lingjue lowered his head and muttered: "Is there really an eighteen layers of hell in this world, and the poor monk is also fortunate to be able to see this Nai He Bridge, Sansheng Stone, and Flower on the other side...... Master, is the poor monk dead? ”

The old monk didn't say much, sat on the ground, and suddenly said in his mouth: "I respectfully ask for the mercy and support of the Bodhisattva of the Great Compassion of the Emperor of the Southern Infinite Land."

support

Ji Shou is pure and pure, and the Buddha is full of great mercy. ”

As soon as this Buddha sound came out, the little monk was awakened by a huge bell, looked at the old monk in a daze, and was speechless for a long time, this is the great difference between the Bodhisattva Sutra of the King of Jizo he has heard, well, every word of the old monk is the original taste of the Dizang Sutra, and the little monk is immersed in this Buddhist Sutra in an instant.

The old monk continued: "The southern world is pouring incense clouds, fragrant rain, flower clouds and flower rain

There are countless kinds of treasure rain and clouds, which are auspicious and solemn

The celestial beings asked the Buddha why, because the Buddha said that the Bodhisattva of the earth is here

The three worlds took refuge together with the Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions

I am here to plant good karma and praise the true merits of Jizo

Because of the accumulation of kindness, he swore to save all sentient beings, and the gold and tin in his hands opened the gates of hell. The pearl in the palm of your hand, the light of the world. In the sound of wisdom, in the auspicious clouds, it is a great proof of merit for Yan Fu to suffer sentient beings. Great compassion and great wishes, great sages and great compassion, the deity of the Bodhisattva Mahasattva.

Opening of the scriptures

The supreme and profound subtle method has been encountered by millions of calamities

I have seen and heard this day and received the true righteousness of the vows,

Nan no Master Shakyamuni Buddha.

Nan no Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva. ”

Xiao Lingjue said lightly: "Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all living beings are exhausted, Founder Bodhi, the grand vow of the King of the Earth Bodhisattva really makes people feel awe, but unfortunately he failed to become a Buddha......"

The old monk smiled and said: "If you don't become a Buddha, it's good to not become a Buddha, and after becoming a Buddha, you also have the trouble of becoming a Buddha, and there have been seven Buddhas born in the past:

The first is the corpse Buddha of Vibha, the second is the Buddha of the corpse, the third is the Buddha of Vaishafu, the fourth is the Buddha of the detention of Sun, the fifth is the Buddha of Kannahamuni, the sixth is the Buddha of the Gyalaba, and the seventh is the Buddha Shakyamuni;

In the future, there will be 995 Buddhas such as Maitreya Buddha. Every Buddha is born, and he speaks the Dharma to educate all people; Because everyone has Buddha nature, starting from nature, and achieving full results, everyone can become a Buddha. ”

Xiao Lingjue thought so, because the master once said something similar to this to himself, as long as the merits are cultivated, the Dao Law and the Dao fate have arrived, and you can realize it.

Xiao Lingjue bowed deeply to the old monk and said: "I seem to have a deep study of the Dizang Sutra, please ask the master to give advice, Amitabha, good, good." ”

The old monk said, "Do you know what the Dharma is? ”

Xiao Lingjue shook his head, this proposition was too big, so big that he didn't dare to answer it easily.

The old monk said: "Buddhism is mainly comprehended by oneself, but ordinary people are confused and do not understand, so the Buddha speaks to the machine to make them conscious." Because people's root mechanisms are different, the Buddha has many Dharmas. ”

Xiao Lingjue paused and said, "Is there a saying?" ”

Old monk: "Shakyamuni Buddha was born in the country of Kapila in India three thousand years ago, became a monk at the age of nineteen, studied for five years, practiced asceticism for six years, and attained enlightenment at the age of thirty. In the forty-ninth year of the Dharma, more than 300 lectures have been held, and among the scriptures said, there is a Jizo Sutra. Why did the Buddha say the "Jizo Sutra"? ”

Xiao Lingjue replied: "Because when the Buddha was about to die, there were still many sentient beings who had not yet realized the Tao and were floating and sinking in the sea of suffering, and the Buddha deliberately handed over these sentient beings to the Jizo Bodhisattva to live, so it is said that this sutra is also a 'sutra of entrustment'. ”

This is what the Master of the Seven Sins told him, and Xiao Lingjue has always kept it in his heart and dare not forget it.

The old monk smiled: "It seems that someone once taught you, but your comprehension of the Jizo Sutra can only be in its form, not its spirit." ”

"Ask the master for advice, the little monk is grateful and can't be repaid." Xiao Lingjue bowed his head and bowed again, he urgently needed to improve his strength now, so he didn't want to let go of any opportunity to improve his strength.

The old monk didn't say anything, just continued to explain slowly:

This sutra is in heaven, and the Buddha said it to repay his mother's kindness, and it can also be said to be the "Buddhist Filial Piety Sutra". In the midst of the cause of the earth, many times in order to save his mother, the Bodhisattva made a great vow: "Spend all sentient beings and attain Bodhi." With this merit and willingness, the parents of many children can be happy and free from suffering, and turn into saints, which is said to be the Buddhist filial piety scripture, which is not bad at all. ”

The old monk suddenly paused and said:

"Jizo Bodhisattva uses great divine power to transform sentient beings everywhere and at all times, leaving the suffering of the three paths and winning people's heavenly happiness; Only in the way of human heaven can we practice enlightenment, and it can be said that this sutra is the "human heaven cause and effect scripture". This sutra Buddha said that there are three, I can't say all its meaning, I hope that the little monk you will study and comprehend by yourself. ”

"What is the cause and effect scripture of human heaven, ask the master for advice!" Xiao Lingjue looked at the old monk with a serious expression, and felt a lot, and his heart seemed to be enlightened by this teacher.

The old monk said with a smile: "Usually all sides preach the scriptures, and they mostly use the fivefold mysteries of the Tiantai Sect to explain the scriptures, and I can't be an exception today."

Five-fold mystery, the mystical is subtle and difficult to think, and the righteous have a deep reason.

Fivefold: one interpretation, two manifestations, three Mingzong, four treatises, and five judgments. "Name" is a pseudonym:

The Dharma is nameless, and the Buddhas are the names of the Dharma. Under the pseudonym, there must be a real "body", and the practitioner will seek a proper name.

"Zong" is the purpose: the body is not the sect, but the purpose will be the body.

"Use" is function: immeasurable function, not departing from the original sect, because of the use of Mingzong.

Before the function is present, the power is deep and shallow, and the "judgment" is attributed to the big and small power and the real "teaching". It's a five-fold name. ”
