Chapter Fifty-Four: Seeing the Origin of the Cause and Seeing the Dharma is Seeing the Buddha (Part II)
When Yu Geng came back, he immediately attracted the attention of the tribesmen, and they surrounded him one after another. However, their eyes all fell on the uninvited guest behind Yu Geng, and they all wondered who this was, why did they come back with Yu Geng?
Zong Wusheng looked at the people of the tribe, regardless of men, women, young and old, they all had one thing in common, the top of their heads was bare, not a single hair was grown, and under the sunlight, they reflected the radiance.
"Yu Geng, why are you back?"
"Who are you bringing this? What are you doing in our tribe? ”
"He's not going to be a bad guy, don't you lure a wolf into the room."
Yu Geng immediately responded: "Don't worry, this is the Holy Son of Zongwu, my friend in Longshan Academy, I brought him here this time to meet the leader." ”
Zong Wusheng also followed the introduction of Yu Geng, and greeted everyone with a chorus ceremony. A group of tribesmen looked at Zong Wusheng's strange gestures, unconsciously reduced their vigilance, stopped speaking, and watched Yu Geng take Zong Wusheng towards the leader's residence.
The tribal leader's residence was in the middle, where there was a large wooden rotunda. In front of the building, a stone pier was piled up with countless rubble, and a thigh-thick wooden stake was inserted in the middle. On the top of the wooden stake, countless thin ropes are entangled, and the other end is submerged into the ground, and countless red and yellow colored flags are waving in the wind.
Strangely, on top of the stake, stood a huge vulture, the size of a foot. The vulture's eyes were gloomy, and he watched as the two of them staggered towards the building behind him.
After the hissing, the heavy curtain in front of the building was lifted, and a tall, bald middle-aged man bowed out and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Leader, I'm back." Yu Geng immediately pointed to Zong Wusheng and introduced: "This is my friend of Longshan Academy, he told me more about Buddhism than about Buddhism, I feel that it is very similar to what the leader said, the civilization of our tribe has passed, so I brought him to meet the leader." ”
After listening to Yu Geng's narration, the leader's expression froze, especially when Yu Geng preached the word "Buddhism", his eyes revealed a throbbing, and he seemed to be very surprised.
"Buddha, what a mysterious title this is, please sit inside."
Zong Wusheng clasped his hands together and chanted in his mouth: "Amitabha! ”
The leader's expression stagnated again, this time the shock was significantly higher than the previous one, and his face showed joy with the shock, and then he personally stepped forward to raise the door curtain and invited Zong Wusheng to enter.
Zong Wusheng was not polite, and then entered the door curtain and looked around the furnishings.
Facing the door, there is an offering table, on which a wooden statue is enshrined, Zong Wusheng recognizes that this is a Buddha statue, but it is different from the appearance of Shakyamuni Buddha, less compassion, more hideous.
The leader saw Zong Wusheng staring at the offering table in a daze, so he took the heart of Zong Wusheng and asked, "Since Gongzi is very knowledgeable, do you know who is offered at the table?" ”
Zong Wusheng opened his mouth and replied, "Buddha." ”
Although the leader was shocked, he suppressed it, he didn't really know who the Buddha was, only that the one at the offering table was the ancestor of their tribe. When I heard the word Buddha today, instead of being angry at the name of their ancestors, I felt that the title of Buddha was very comfortable.
So the anger in his heart for Yu Geng's rash leadership of strangers to the tribe was reduced a lot, and he asked again, "What does the Buddha mean?" ”
It means "enlightened" or "wise". Zong Wusheng blurted out.
The leader was pleased with Zong Wusheng's answer, but it was not that he knew the Buddha, but that Zong Wusheng was happy to call his ancestors "enlightened" and "wise".
"According to Zong Gongzi, the name of our ancestors should be called Buddha?"
"Definitely." Zong Wusheng explained, "In my knowledge, the name of a Buddha is Siddhartha Gautama, and this Buddha is not in the continent where you live, so the name of your ancestors should be Amitabha. ”
Hearing Zong Wusheng's loud explanation, the leader felt a hot current surging in his heart for some reason, and not only did he not doubt Zong Wusheng's words at all, but he was convinced.
The leader suddenly knelt down, folded his hands and said to Zong Wusheng: "The disciple is only a shallow learner, and he has been looking for the footsteps of his ancestors, but he has never seen a thing or two, and he doesn't even know the name of his ancestor. ”
Yu Geng saw that the leader knelt down for Zong Wusheng, his eyes were full of shock, in his eyes, the leader was high, he could kneel for Zong Wusheng, which showed that Zong Wusheng was even more profound than the leader, so he knelt down.
Zong Wusheng did not stop the two from kneeling, he knows the Dharma very well, and the reason why he kneels and worships is not because the person who knees is humble, but to warn the world that in front of the Dharma, everyone should have a humble attitude, and you are not kneeling to the Buddha, but the Dharma.
"If the leader doesn't understand anything, just ask questions, and the saints will know everything."
After receiving Zong Wusheng's reply, the leader suddenly got up and came to the outside of the house and shouted to all the tribes to come, and after a while, all the tribes gathered around and watched quietly.
Zong Wusheng and Yu Geng also walked out of the house at this time and stood in front of everyone.
Seeing Zong Wusheng coming out, the leader immediately walked to the front of the crowd, knelt down with his hands folded. The people of the tribe behind him did not dare to slack off when they saw the leader making such a great salute to outsiders, and they all knelt down and bowed.
"Please enlighten our tribe and let us find the footprints of our ancestors."
Zong Wusheng glanced at the crowd, their faces were full of piety, so he said: "All sentient beings have Buddha nature, and those who have Buddha nature can become Buddhas. Your ancestor is Amitabha. He is a great wise man, compassionate, universal sentient beings, but after your ancestors attained Nirvana, they did not pass down the Dharma, resulting in you not knowing much about your ancestors and the Dharma, I can tell you clearly, your ancestors' tombs are in this reclining Buddha Mountain, as long as you find the mausoleum, there will be scriptures in it, and through the study of the scriptures, you will definitely find the faith that has passed away. ”
"Ahh Everyone turned their heads to look at the Reclining Buddha Buddha at the same time, and the leader said, "Please ask Zong Gongzi to take us to find the Buddha's tomb." ”
When Zong Wusheng came, he noticed the peculiarity of the Reclining Buddha Mountain, so he asserted that it must be the place where Amitabha Buddha attained Nirvana, and his Buddha tomb must be here.
Under the leadership of Zong Wusheng, everyone came to the top of the Wofo Mountain and walked towards the head of the Buddha. Zong Wusheng sensed with soul power, and there was an unknown aura in the giant eyes of the reclining Buddha, perhaps the entrance to the Buddha's tomb was here.
A group of people came to the head of the Buddha again, Zong Wusheng walked to the edge of the Buddha's eyes, and used his soul power to investigate, and the mysterious aura came out of these giant eyes.
After pondering for a long time, Zong Wusheng folded his hands, bowed slightly to the Buddha's eyes, and recited in his mouth: "All the laws are born by fate, and the Dharma is still extinguished." My teacher is a great shaman, and he often says so. ”
The recitation of Zongwu Sanctuary is the "Origin of Origin". Buddhism pays attention to the Buddha's fate, and the "dependent origination" of the mind may come in handy.
Something unexpected happened, with the recitation of Zong Wusheng, the eyes of the Buddha's head gradually blurred, and a circle of golden halo appeared at first glance, and the mountain stones at the eyes gradually disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, showing two black holes, from which there was endless peaceful power.
Zong Wusheng turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "Fortunately, the Buddha tomb is here, please follow me in to have a look." ”
With that, Zong Wusheng took the lead in jumping into the black hole.
Zong Wusheng's feet left the ground, and a force suddenly held him up in the black hole, and he slowly fell downward. Everyone saw the magic, and they also learned that Zong Wusheng jumped into the black hole, and was also slowly sent into the black hole.
After entering the black hole for a moment, Zong Wusheng and everyone stepped on the ground, and their eyes suddenly brightened.
Everyone looked at the scene in their eyes, and they were immediately shocked, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
This is a large hall with no edge in sight. The stone walls of the main hall are carved with lifelike Buddha statues, some sitting cross-legged, some standing, and some lying on their sides, all of them are hideous, staring at the people who enter.
In the middle of the main hall, two rows of stone pillars carved with many arhats are endless, leading to the end of the main hall. Everyone was dumbfounded and followed Zong Wusheng towards the depths of the main hall and came to the end.
At the end of the main hall, a colorful Buddha statue sat on the lotus throne, and its eyes were closed.
Zong Wusheng came to the Buddha statue closely, and there were countless offering lamps on the Buddha shrine, which was very beautiful.
Gently twisting the three sticks of sandalwood and igniting them with the offering lamp, Zong Wusheng bowed to the Buddha statue three times, and his mouth was full of words: "There are no ten Buddhas in the south, there are no ten methods in the south, and there are no ten monks in the south." After speaking, the sandalwood is inserted into the incense burner on the shrine.
A mutation has occurred.
I saw that the closed eyes of the Buddha statue slowly opened, and the Sanskrit sound in the main hall immediately resounded, as if thousands of Buddhas chanted scriptures at the same time, which made people feel endless worship in their hearts.
Hearing the wonderful ear Zen sound, the people of the tribe have been crying silently, they have multiplied here for thousands of years, but no one can find here, at this time to see the true face of the ancestors, where can not be excited, pious kneeling down, prostrate for a long time.
Suddenly.
Sanskrit sound stops. The huge mouth of the Buddha statue slowly opened and closed, and said, "Thank you for guiding the Buddhas, this is a blessing of immeasurable merit." ”
Zong Wusheng bowed slightly in response.
The Buddha statue spoke again: "The Dharma is boundless, let it hold on to its own nature, and the path will be liberated." People in the world should practice the Dharma, and I have one hundred and eight volumes of scriptures for the Buddhas to study. ”
When the Buddhas heard what the Buddha said, they raised their heads and waited for the Buddha to give them the scriptures. However, after waiting for a while, no scriptures appeared, and he was about to ask, when the Buddha's voice sounded again: "Cause and effect are born together, and there must be fate and extinction, and the Buddha has a great Buddha relationship with the Zong Wusheng, as long as you follow him all the way, you will reach the Bodhi realm of the four saints to obtain the true scriptures." ”
Yu Geng bowed respectfully at this time, and responded loudly: "The disciple is willing to follow Zong Wusheng, no matter how much suffering he goes through, he must also reach the Bodhi realm, obtain the true scriptures and return." ”
As soon as the words fell, a peaceful golden light appeared in front of Yu Geng, and there seemed to be something in the golden light, exuding a dazzling light.
"This is the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff I gave you, I hope you can make good use of it."
With the voice of the Buddha, the light gradually dissipated, and a large red robe and a nine-ring tin staff appeared in the eyes of everyone. The two treasures exude a majestic and peaceful atmosphere.
