Chapter 505: True and Illusory

Inside the main hall, the shadows of the gods swayed, and it seemed that all the gods and Buddhas came to life for a while, and all kinds of Buddhist scripture stories were being interpreted in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.

Buddhist myths and legends have six Buddhas before Shakyamuni, and there are seven Buddhas with the addition of Shakyamuni: Vibha Buddha (Buddha of Shengguan), Buddha of Corpse Abandonment (Buddha of Baoji), Buddha of Vaishsha (Buddha of All Victories), Buddha of Detention Sun (Buddha of Destruction), Buddha of Kanasamuni (Buddha of Golden Silence), Buddha of Kasa (Buddha of Burning Lamp or Buddha of Drinking Light) and Buddha Shakyamuni (Nengren). Among them, the detention of Sun Buddha is also known as the first Buddha of Xianjiao, the Buddha of Kanasamuni is also known as the second Buddha of Xianjiao, the Buddha of Kaye is also known as the third Buddha of Xianjiao, and the Buddha Shakyamuni is also known as the fourth Buddha of Xianjiao.

In addition, the five caste Buddhas are called "Gyavajaa" or "Deyin Xieba Jaya" in Tibetan, and are often referred to as Buddhist tantric Buddhas, namely the central Buddha Viru (Great Day Nyorai), the Eastern Buddha of Immovable Buddha (Buddha of Immovable Nyorai), the Southern Buddha of Infinite Light (Buddha of Immeasurable Light or Amitabha), and the Buddha of Northern Non-Empty Attainment (Non-empty Nyorai). The Buddha images on the crown of the five Buddhas worn by Tibetan Tantra during the initiation are referred to as these five Buddhas.

After that, there are the eight great bodhisattvas, that is, the eight great followers of the Buddha. It refers to Manjushri (Jiang Baiyang), Vajrapani (Chana Dorjee), Avalokiteshvara (Gyaresu), Jizo King Bodhisattva (Seningbao), Bodhisattva of Removing Obstacles (Zhiba Nanmusai), Void Tibetan Bodhisattva (Nankha Ningbao), Maitreya Bodhisattva (Qiangpa), and Puxian Bodhisattva (Gongdu Sampo). Its Chinese is the first in wisdom, Guanyin is the first in compassion, Puxian is the first in Daxing, and Jizo is the first in Daxing. Vajrapani is also known as the Great Trend to the Bodhisattva in Chinese.

There is also "Gangjin Gongbao" Buddha, which means "snowy land lord in Tibetan", referring to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Tibetan Buddhism believes that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is compassionate and compassionate, and can best save suffering and sentient beings, so it is regarded as the savior of Tibet. At the same time, many myths and legends are associated with Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as the ethnic origin of Tibet is the combination of Guanyin Bodhisattva and a cave witch; The famous Tibetan kings Songtsen Gampo and Gyalwa Rinpoche are both incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva, among others.

The above Buddha statues are all enshrined in the main hall, and each Buddha statue presented in front of Lin Xuan has its own life story, and it has been passed on to the world and become the main god worshiped in major temples.

When he walked into the main hall, he thought that the Buddha statue was just a Buddha statue, but he didn't expect that those who sat silently were living Buddhas, not clay sculptures.

Any Tibetan Buddhist believer who appeared in the face of these 3,000 gods and Buddhas would only be afraid that he would bow down and never dare to look up again.

Lin Xuan still stood upright, observing all this intently, figuring out the development of things with his sixth sense.

Suddenly, a tall figure walked slowly in front of him, bald, barefoot, wrapped in crimson monk's robes.

Lin Xuan's gaze gradually moistened, because that person was his father.

About a minute later, the man approached, five steps away from Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's voice trembled: "Are you...... It's mine...... Father? ”

If they met somewhere else, he would not hesitate to greet him, holding his father's hand or hugging him.

"Son, it's me." The man responded.

"But have you converted to Tibetan Buddhism? How can you dress up like this? Lin Xuan was skeptical.

He stood against the light, and could only see his father's outline, but he couldn't see the other party's facial features.

"Tibetan Buddhism is vast and profound, and only by taking refuge in Buddhism and immersing oneself in it can one attain the true meaning of the Dharma. There were five great perplexities in my life, and I tried my best to study the Tibetan Tantric texts, and finally figured out three of them, but the remaining two, I couldn't explain them at all. Human life is limited, and knowledge is unlimited, and when I became enlightened in the mundane world, I broke all the fetters and entered the tantric world of Tibetan Buddhism, and finally I figured out one more problem, and there was only one last bit of confusion. The man said.

Lin Xuan felt the heat released from the other party's body, no matter the voice or the wording, that person was very much like his father, but the word "father" could not be pronounced.

He knew that there was an invisible gap between the two, which seemed to be close at hand, but it was absolutely as insurmountable as a chasm.

"What are those five questions?" Lin Xuan asked.

The man raised his head and looked up at the dome: "The first three, I don't say, you can guess, are the three greatest propositions in philosophy." ”

Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, the three major philosophical propositions should be where I come from, who I am, and where I am going." ”

Those are the three fundamental propositions about life, self-knowledge and death, which have been debated and discussed by European and American philosophers for hundreds of years, but have never been able to find the appropriate answers. Any great philosophical proposition has an open answer, and these three questions, which are based on idealistic logical thinking, are quite esoteric and obscure.

Correspondingly, there are three other problems based on materialist logical thinking, that is, how to better understand the universe and solve problems about the universe; how to better understand human society and solve problems related to human beings; How to better understand your own life and solve problems about life.

The man listened to Lin Xuan's answer and let out a long sigh.

"What are your answers to these three questions?" Lin Xuan asked.

In the Buddhist Zen machine defense, there are contradictory answers to three questions that seem to be useful, but in fact they are useless, and they seem to be useless and actually useful, that is, from where they come from, I am who I am, and where they go.

"My answer is all in practice." The man replied.

Lin Xuan was puzzled, staring at the man's face hidden in the light and shadow.

"When I recognize my past life, past life, future life, and future life, I understand the answers to these three questions. Past lives, who were past lives, and where they came from; What I do in this world explains who I am; The Hereafter, who the Hereafter is, can explain where I am going. The man said.

The five different names of before, before, before, now, after, and after represent the five generations of a person in a coherent manner, which is about 500 years before and after.

What any physiognomy master can deduce is what has happened in the past five hundred years.

Therefore, to see through the changes in the past 500 years is to have insight into the entire trajectory of a person's life.

There has been an unofficial consensus among scholars around the globe that only idealism can save the world, and to see the secret of every reshuffling of the planet. The shuffling of the cards means the reconstruction of the earth after the great destruction, and it is obvious that humanity will be out of the shuffle and reduced to the rations of all kinds of beasts.

Lin Xuan didn't want such an answer, but at least it was meaningful, not an obscure Zen machine in Buddhism.

"Can you explain this to me in more detail?" Lin Xuan asked.

The man replied slowly: "Okay, then I'll start with Songtsen Gampo unifying Tibet." Before Songtsen Gampo, Tibet had a narrow territory, and it was only until Songtsen Gampo that it expanded its territory, unified the tribes of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and gradually became stronger. For example, the "New Tang Dynasty Book" said: its land is connected with Songmao in the east, the Brahmins in the South Pole, the four towns in the west, and the Turks in the north, covering an area of more than 10,000 miles, which is not available to the Han and Wei Zhurongs. Songtsen Gampo conquered the tribes, expanded his territory, and issued decrees to communicate with neighboring countries and govern the people, and sent the children of the nobles to Kashmir to study, among which Duanmei Sambodhi learned the study of declarations, and after returning to Tibet, he made the Tibetan alphabet and grammar, and wrote the "Eight Treatises" to explain the use of Tibetan. Before Songtsen Gampo, there was only one ancient belief in Tibet, called Yongzhong Bon. The Seven Kings of Tianchi all practiced the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism, Yongzhong Bon, and these seven kings used the light of the rainbow to achieve the ...... of Dao Deng because of their merits in judgment."

Lin Xuan had read the history of the early rise of Tibetan Buddhism, so he listened to that person's words and nodded frequently.
