Chapter 362: Eight Heavenly Dragons (2)
Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua don't know much about the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and the sudden appearance of the Eight Heavenly Dragons seems to have shocked the monks halfway up the mountain!
The old monk took advantage of this time to explain to the three people the story of the eight heavenly dragons of Buddhism...
Six Garudas; Translated into Chinese as Miaowinged Bird, or translated as Golden-winged Bird, also known as Dapeng Golden-winged Bird, lives among the big iron trees in the north of Mount Meru. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 According to the Buddhist scriptures, the distance between the wings of this bird is 3.6 million miles. When it wants to eat the dragon, it can use its big wings to separate the water with a pluck of the sea, see the bottom of the sea, see the dragon palace, that is, catch the dragon and eat it, and eat the dragon like a man eats noodles.
The Buddha saved the dragon with a robe, so that the golden-winged bird could not eat and drink, so he came to the Buddha and said: You are merciful to save the dragon, the dragon is saved, but I am hungry, I have nothing to eat, and I am about to starve to death. The Buddha said to him, "If you take refuge in the Three Jewels and take the vow of non-killing, and you will no longer eat dragons in the future, I, a disciple of the Buddha today, will be born with seven grains of rice or porridge when I offer food to the Buddha, so that you can give to you and the ghosts and gods of the wilderness and the children and mothers of the rakshasas, so that you will have a life of life and no longer feel the pain of hunger!" Therefore, the birth of Buddhism has its own significance, and it is not a fictional story. At the time of birth, the birth verse should be recited: "Dapeng golden-winged bird, ghosts and gods in the wilderness, Rakshasa devils and mothers, manna is full", do not be hasty! There is a wishful jewel on the head of Garuda, if anyone gets it, he can really have whatever he wants, Garuda sometimes spits out flames from his mouth, so it is also called Garuda Yan.
Seven Kinara; Translated into Chinese as suspicious, or suspicious of God, this kind of sentient beings have a firstborn corner, which seems to make people wonder whether they are human or non-human, so they are translated here. It is also the god of music played by the emperor, which is different from the former god of music of Gandharva: what Gandharva plays is ordinary secular music; Kinnara played the Dharma. It can also be said that the former is to play the music of the world, and the latter is to play the music of the world. If sentient beings need the Kinnara body to attain liberation, Avalokiteshvara, who appears in the Kinnara body, preaches the Dharma for them, so that they can practice according to the law, and then they will be liberated physically and mentally, and they will be freed from the ghost life of Kinnara.
Bamaharaja; Translated into Chinese as the Great Python God, or translated as the Earth Dragon, it is said to be the appearance of a humanoid snake head. If sentient beings need to be in the body of Maharaja in order to attain liberation, Avalokiteshvara, who is in the body of Maharaja, preaches to them the Dharma of forbearance and humiliation, cultivation of compassion, and gentleness and wisdom, so that they can practice according to the law and attain physical and mental liberation!
'People are not equal to human beings', this is the summary of the above eight parts. The so-called human beings are not human beings: it is said that they resemble human beings rather than human beings, and that they are called human beings rather than human beings; It is said that the eight ghosts and gods were not originally human, but they changed into human form and came to the Buddha, and their names were not human; It is said that human refers to the people of the four continents of human beings, and non-human refers to the eight ghosts.
After listening to the old monk talk about the origin of the eight heavenly dragons, the three of them were shocked, is this what Buddhism says about the Buddha to be destined for people, these eight heavenly dragons are in the time of suffering to meet the Buddha to be liberated!
The appearance of the eight heavenly dragons made the miracles on the mountainside appear more sacred, and the monks in the middle of the mountain stopped chanting the scriptures and knelt down to worship ・・・・・!
However, the 10-minute total solar eclipse seemed to be a very long time, and when the total solar eclipse disappeared, the sound of chanting scriptures above suddenly disappeared, and the monks who knelt on the ground also disappeared!
When the sun reappeared, it was as if nothing had happened, and the hay on the mountainside was still swinging in the wind!
In addition to the old monk who looked peaceful, Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua all looked shocked, and it felt like a dream!
Zhou Tianyi looked at Dong Tinghua and asked, "What did you see on the inscription just now?" ”
Dong Tinghua shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I can't understand the words on it, like the words on the parchment scroll, they are all ancient ciphertexts, except for my grandfather and my grandfather, I don't think many people know the words on it!" ”
When the four of them came to the place where the stone monument had just appeared, there was nothing left on the ground except dry grass!
Zhou Tianyi's face was full of thoughts, recalling what happened just now, judging from the various signs just now, this place should have been laid out by someone in the Xuanmen formation, thinking about the eight heavenly dragons that suddenly appeared just now, thinking that the eight heavenly dragons should not be their true bodies, just a miracle, their existence should be to restrain and seal the reincarnation of silence on the White Elephant Mountain, so that these misguided monks will not cause trouble to the world!
From the mouth of the old monk, it has been learned that this stupa is built in the earth from the top down, and the base is upside down. This pagoda existed thousands of years earlier than the origin of Buddhism, and it was an old monk who accidentally discovered this pagoda and rebuilt it into a relic, so where did this old monk enter this stupa?
Zhou Tianyi was full of doubts and thought about the way to enter the Relic Pagoda, but after searching around for a long time, he couldn't find a way to enter the Relic Pagoda!
"Divine stick, how can we enter the stupa?" Dong Tinghua asked impatiently.
"I think the method of entering the stupa should have something to do with that stele!" Zhou Tianyi said as he stood where the stone tablet had appeared.
The old monk walked to the place where the stone tablet appeared, thinking about the reincarnation of extinction that appeared below, and suddenly thought of a question, is this place the same as the principle of reincarnation of annihilation, it is also an illusion!
Thinking of this, the old monk stood at the place where the stele appeared, his eyes were slightly closed, there was no distraction in his heart, his mind was blank, and it didn't take long for the old monk to feel that a white stupa appeared in front of him, a stone stele was erected next to it, and behind the stele was a hole leading to the ground. Further inside, there is a large door with strange patterns carved on it!
The old monk chanted a Buddha name, opened his eyes and smiled and said to Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua: "I have found the entrance to the relict pagoda, it is behind the stone stele!" ”
"Master, have you drunk too much, there is nothing in this place, where did the stele come from!" Dong Tinghua asked.
"Close your eyes, have no distractions, look with your heart, and you will see the difference on this mountain!" The old monk said.
Listening to the old monk's explanation, Zhou Tianyi tried the method that the old monk said, closed his eyes, and eliminated all the distractions in his heart, and it didn't take long for a tall stone tablet to appear in front of him, behind the stone tablet was an entrance, exactly the same as everything the old monk saw, under the mountain is a pagoda temple, and there are countless monks shuttling inside, and the scene seen in the dream just now under the mountain and when the total solar eclipse suddenly appeared, the scene was exactly the same...
