What's the difference?

Is there anything else in this world that can be worthy of the name of the Buddha spirit other than the Buddha spirit in our hearts?

As Chun Ting's words fell, he was silent again, only to see him slowly walk to the wall, and then carefully touch the face in the pattern on the wall with his hand, as if he wanted to feel something from it.

And after some careful feeling, Chunting seemed to really sense something from this pattern, and as he withdrew his hands, he turned his head, looked at the earnest look in our eyes, and slowly explained to us the truth of the so-called Buddha spirit.

"I know that when you mention the word Buddha spirit, you are thinking of the soul left behind by the legendary Buddha after his nirvana, but the Buddha spirit I just mentioned is not such an ethereal thing, if strictly speaking, the Buddha spirit I mentioned should actually be regarded as a man-made product."

Seeing our bewildered expressions, Chun Ting smiled slightly, at this moment he looked like a wise elder, unhurriedly increasing his knowledge for us.

It turned out that the Buddha spirit in Chunting's mouth was indeed not the real Buddha soul, but was actually just a pronoun.

As we all know, although Buddhism is not a local religion in China, but since ancient times there are not a few people who believe, so there are many temples around China, whether it is sincere belief or seeking peace of mind, people often go to the temple to ask for incense and worship Buddha when they have something, so most of the incense is prosperous.

There is no doubt that since temples were built to worship the Buddha, there must be a statue of the Buddha in every temple.

It is precisely because of these statues of the Buddha that are used for worship that the Buddha spirit mentioned in the mouth of Chunting was born.

Whether it is a gold statue, a bronze statue, or a stone statue, or a pottery statue, as long as it is thought that the statue is made, it must be a clay sculpture, and it stands to reason that there should not be any mystery.

However, the luck that has been handed down since ancient times is not false, although the Buddha statue is a dead thing, but after being enshrined in the temple, there will be countless believers who will come to worship, and as long as they come to worship, they must be pious people, full of thought that this Buddha statue can meet their wishes.

In this way, the statue that should have been a clay sculpture of the mortal fetus was enshrined in the temple, and was worshiped by countless believers every day, receiving a hundred schools of incense, gathering the wishes of all beings, and after condensing the wishes in the hearts of all beings, the Buddha statue was naturally born of spiritual wisdom and became a special existence.

If this kind of existence is an immortal, it is inevitably a bit of a fuss, this is just the birth of a spiritual yin spirit, far from the means of the legendary immortals.

However, it is clear that although it is not immortal, the Buddha statue that gave birth to Lingzhi is no longer a mortal clay sculpture, because the Buddha statue is born Lingzhi, so later generations will call it the Buddha spirit.

Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked Chunting a common question in our hearts.

"Brother Ting, I think the Buddha spirit should be a solemn existence, but after listening to you, how do I feel that it is similar to the mountain spirits and wild monsters in some stories, is this Buddha spirit good or bad, good or evil?"

"Although Buddhism is not a family, but in the final analysis, Buddhism is actually of the same origin, and it must be admitted that except for a very small number of side doors, most of the inheritance of Buddhism is to guide people to goodness, and this Buddha spirit is naturally no exception."

Although Chunting is not a member of Buddhism, it is not difficult to hear from his words that his attitude towards Buddhism is very friendly.

"As the saying goes, there must be a reason for everything, in fact, Shen Lang, you are right, as long as there is the worship of incense and the blessing of the power of willingness, no matter what can be born, it is possible to give birth to spiritual wisdom, and those whose centrality is not good will become the mountain spirits and wild monsters you mentioned."

"However, the spiritual wisdom born from the Buddha statue will never appear in the list of mountain spirits and wild monsters, as the so-called Buddha crosses sentient beings, there is no evil thought in it, even after the blessing of the incense of sentient beings, the birth of the Buddha spirit will only lead people to good."

"If you really want to talk about it, the existence of the Buddha spirit is more like the land and mountain gods mentioned in various Zhiwei, while receiving the incense of all beings, it can also bless the safety of one party, and will not do evil."

After Chunting's explanation, everyone nodded one after another, and each other's faces showed a look of understanding, obviously understanding the mystery of this so-called Buddha spirit.

"If it is said in a big way, the existence of the Buddha spirit can even bless one side and keep one side safe, and even if it is small, this Buddha spirit can also change a person's fortune, so that it can be smooth sailing, and all wishes come true, and its effect is extremely mysterious, making countless people fascinated."

"It is precisely because the Buddha spirit has such a miraculous effect that I don't know when and when it started, an unknown trade secretly arose."

Seeing that we had already understood the existence of the Buddha spirit, Chunting talked to us about some things that we had never been exposed to before.

"Like those larger temples, the Buddha statues in them have even been enshrined for thousands of years, and the spiritual wisdom born in them has already reached an incredible level, and these Buddha spirits have long become the foundation of the temple, and it is impossible to take them out easily no matter what."

"And some of the smaller temples don't care about this, they don't need the miraculous effect of the Buddha's blessing, so they have another idea, and that is to sell it to those who need it."

"Therefore, there are often people who take away the Buddha statues that have been enshrined in the temple for many years under the pretext of rebuilding the temple and recreating the golden body, the purpose of which is to take out the Buddha spirits born in them for their own use."

As if he felt that he had unconsciously shifted the topic, Chunting smiled apologetically and pulled the topic back to the question I had just asked.

"Han Chuan, back to your matter, I have also been to Emei Jinding before, and I have a deep memory of the statue of Shifang Fuxian, I can be sure that although the casting time of that statue is still short, it already contains an extremely powerful Buddha spirit, and this Buddha spirit even has not only spiritual wisdom, but human thinking."

"As I said just now, the Buddha spirit is a Buddha statue that can be condensed by the power of a hundred schools of incense to gather the wishes of all living beings, and in just three or five years, it is impossible to give birth to such a powerful Buddha spirit, and since I am sure that there is a Buddha spirit in the statue of Shifang Fuxian, there is only one possibility left."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Chunting suddenly turned his back to me, and in a deep tone, he said the only remaining possibility in his mouth.

"When the statue of the Ten Directions was built, there were masters who injected the Buddha's spirit into it."
