Chapter 114: A Candle That Spreads Light
"Amitabha! I didn't expect this day to come. "An old monk came out of the monk pile. Although he is hunched back, he has as much strength as drawing a bow, his eyebrows are all white, and each tail is particularly long, and he is even at the side of his chest! The whole eyebrow is like a longevity face! After seeing this appearance, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Donor, may I ask if the Earth Demon has reappeared?" The old monk with long eyebrows asked me. I nodded, "More than that!" The gates of hell are still open! ”
Hearing that the gates of hell were wide open, all the monks panicked and began to discuss in whispers.
"Hurry up, don't discuss it! Come out with me to deter the demons of the earth! "I saw that they were in a hurry.
"Donor, until then. I'm going to tell you something. The old monk with long eyebrows became serious. My eyebrows suddenly raised twice, and I couldn't help but want to laugh again, but I forced myself back because of the occasion. I also really admire myself for being able to relax at any time.
"Back then, the gates of hell were only ajar, and we couldn't resist them. I had no choice but to call out the Buddha with all my life and stop all this. I think this time I still have to call the Buddha to stop it. The old monk said.
"Okay, can you teach me how to call the Buddha?" I asked in surprise.
"Alas, don't think that calling the Buddha will solve it, that's right! is able to solve. However, this solution is to destroy all living beings in the world!! "I could hear the old monk with long eyebrows starting to get excited.
"Destroy all living beings??? What's the difference between that and the demons of the earth? ”
"Alas. In the "Buddha's Sayings and Extinguishing Sutra", the scriptures say. Three months before the Buddha's nirvana, many bodhisattvas, bhikshus and countless others came to the Buddha's abode to seek teachings from the Buddha. The Buddha was silent, and the light on his body did not appear as usual. At the Buddha's side, Venerable Ananda asked the Buddha why the light of his body was fading. The Buddha did not speak, and the Buddha was consulted three times before explaining to the public. The old monk with long eyebrows said.
"The Buddha said that in the future, the Dharma will be completely extinguished, and the world of filthy beings who cannot keep the basic five precepts will flourish day by day! Those who practice the path of demons will join the Buddha and destroy the Dharma as disciples of the Buddha. Covetousness, drinking, eating meat, killing, lustful. There is no compassion and more hatred for each other! And when the world sees cultivators like this, they themselves are even more indulgent. Although he has money, he only cares about gathering for himself, does not do charity and cultivation, sells slave power, burns mountains and forests and harms sentient beings. There is no compassion. There is no difference between men and women. These people who practice the path of demons will eventually fall into hell, and will be reincarnated in the path of hungry ghosts and beasts by the sin of the Ganges River for the sins of the five rebellions. The retribution of sins is to be born in a place where there are no Three Jewels of Buddhism in the frontier land. And so on and so forth. As a result, the Fa-rectification gradually disappears. When the Fa-rectification is about to be extinguished, people shed tears every day. The climate is unbalanced, and crops are scarce. Epidemics are rampant, and many people are dying. Although the people are industrious, they suffer from the anger of officials, so their lives are very hard. People no longer obey morality and righteousness, and their minds are disturbed for pleasure. The wicked are increasing and increasing, and their number is like the sand of the sea, but the good are few, if there are one or two. The great catastrophe is coming, the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are not visible, hell is wide open, and evil spirits are rampant. Gradually, the devil replaced mankind and practiced the devil's way. But because there are still a few good thoughts, they will call on the Buddha to save the common people. But when the Buddha saw this, he couldn't help but shed tears, and his tears would turn into water! Flood the earth until all beings disappear. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but get a jump. Thinking about everything that has happened to me over the years, I laughed at it when I was a child, and when I entered society, there were corrupt people like Li Zuo who did evil, indeed. The doors of every house are locked, and although they are neighbors, they are like thieves, and they are worried every day. What is the difference between such a person and a demon? But·······
"But there are still good people?" I asked.
Indeed, Fa-rectification is like a candle. When lit, the flame is vigorous, but eventually the candle will burn out, and the light of the flame will fade until it disappears. ”
Disappear. Disappear. Disappear······· These two words have been ringing in my head. Fa-rectification is like a candle, is it time for it to disappear now? No! No!!!
At some point, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. I wiped it, but for some reason the tears flowed again.
I began to cry inexplicably, maybe it was grievance, maybe it was anger, maybe it was unwillingness! But I hugged the old monk with long eyebrows and cried. He patted me on the shoulder and recited the Buddha's name. I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want the world to disappear like this!
I wiped away my tears, and suddenly, I seemed to understand something!!
Tears, candles, vanishing ·······
I wiped away my tears and said excitedly to the old monk Changmei, "Although the light of the candle will disappear!" However, as long as you use this candle to light another candle, the light of the candle will continue to shine!! ”
After hearing this, the old monk with long eyebrows inadvertently smiled.
When the other monks heard this, everyone seemed ecstatic. Truly! As long as the world doesn't disappear! Candles don't go away, one candle lights another candle and then goes on to light all the others. The whole world will be covered by the light of the candle, and then the darkness will disappear!!
"Good! Attaboy! I didn't expect your comprehension to be quite strong!! The old monk said with a smile.
I rubbed my head embarrassedly.
"So, would you like to be a candle that spreads light?"
"I do!"
"Good, boy! Remember what you say. Listen up to the rest!! After a while, I will turn into Buddha beads with all my junior disciples, and the mental power of this string of Buddha beads can oppress the earth demons, and after oppressing the earth demons, you have to find the infant spirit! The infant spirit is the only spirit in the world that does not have the slightest evil thoughts, but only when its soul is gone, the Buddha will be called out. The old monk said.
"So, how do I find the baby spirit?"
"So stupid! The girl you brought is the heir of "Sanqing Divination!! The old monk patted my head and said.
I touched my head again, embarrassed.
"All right, young man. Remember what you say! Make a candle that spreads light!! After the old monk finished speaking, all the monks sat cross-legged on the ground.
I looked at them and nodded firmly. My candle will never be extinguished!!
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, I opened my eyes, and it seemed that my soul body had returned to my body. At the same time, there is a string of prayer beads on the ground, which must be the embodiment of the mental power of those masters! I picked him up and stood up. Look up in front of you········
Beyond the barrier of the nineteen layers of hell is the world of humans. And except for these nineteen layers of hell, the high-rise buildings outside are in ruins! A dead air! The ground is littered with corpses, and demons hunt down humans. Even the air smelled of blood.
"Hahaha! I did it!!! "The demon of the earth is screaming like madness over there.
The world, extinguished?
