Chapter 294: Eighteen Arhats

This infinite meaning has a threefold meaning, the first of which is: the world is boundless in dust --

The world is immeasurable, and we should not think that this world is what we can see with our eyes and hear with our ears, this is a kind of boundary of the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘U๏ฝ‡Eใ€‚ infoNo, there are so many immeasurable and boundless worlds in this world, there are other worlds, there are immeasurable worlds, this land, other lands, immeasurable lands, endless, so the world is called boundless and dusty.

What is the meaning of winding? Winding is the meaning of wandering, and the meaning of wandering is indefinite, and indefinite is the meaning of moving. Dust is not pure, there are a lot of dust in the world, try to see the sun come out, on the light reflected by the sun, you can see countless dust, up and down in the air, fluttering and turbulent, high and low. Where does this dust come from? Where does so much dust come from in the world? It is very important to go back to the source and investigate the source of this dust. All this dust is born from the heart of every living being. Why? Because sentient beings have too many delusions in their hearts. Delusion is like dust, winding around the appearance of restlessness and constant change. If we try to see it, we can perceive more delusions than we can count, and we don't know how many we can't perceive? In an instant, it is a very short period of time, and in an instant, there are 900 births and deaths, so the world is boundless and dusty.

How does this world exist? It is because we, sentient beings, are delusional. The delusion of a thought becomes a world with mountains, rivers, and land, corridors, and houses, and all the worlds are established. This is also called the boundless dust of the world.

The second is: the endless karma of sentient beings. The world is boundless, and because there is a world, sentient beings are born. All sentient beings are born from the harmony of all causes, and there are many kinds of causes and conditions that arise from the harmony. Roughly speaking, there are four types: viviparous, oviparous, wet, and metaplasia. How can there be a viviparity? It is because of this love that the viviparity has a new life. Eggs are made by thinking because they want to give birth. Wet life is born from dampness, and it is born in that place where there is moisture. Metamorphosis is born from change, and it is a life that can be born from natural changes, and it is born without relying on the fate of parents.

In more detail, there are twelve types of beings, and the remaining eight: colored, colorless, thoughtful, non-thoughtful, non-colored, non-colorless, non-thoughtful, non-non-thoughtful. Where did so many sentient beings come from? Sentient beings come from Buddha nature, which is why it is said that all sentient beings have Buddha nature and can be Buddhas. Although all sentient beings have Buddha nature and can be Buddhas, it does not mean that sentient beings are Buddhas, nor does it mean that they can become Buddhas without practice. You must work hard to practice, participate in meditation, and learn the Dharma...... In this way, we can return to our roots and become a Buddha. It is not that sentient beings are Buddhas now, and there is no need to practice, this is simply a kind of heretical knowledge! But it is that we must practice, study the Dharma, and practice the teachings in order to become Buddhas. Therefore, it is said that sentient beings come out of Buddha nature.

The third is: the bottomless waves of love. Love refers to the love between men and women, not only human beings talk about love, but also aliens and animals are obsessively attached to this love, especially animals, which are even more unreasonable, so their lust is very heavy. They want to be lustful all the time. If you can purify your heart and few desires, purify your heart, and cut off your love and desires, you will not be far from becoming a Buddha. This river of love has no bottom, the deeper it falls, the deeper it sinks, the deeper it sinks, it has no bottom. The waves are surging and this wave is continuous, like water waves. Why are there waves on the sea? It's because sentient beings have waves in their hearts. There are waves in the hearts of sentient beings, just because there are waves in the river of love, and this love will be pulled endlessly! It is not easy to cut off love with a sharp knife. But if you really have wisdom, it will not be difficult to solve this problem, the so-called: wisdom sword cutting love silk. Those who do not have wisdom fall in love, and they fall deeper and deeper, and where do they fall? There is no bottom at all. The deeper you fall, the deeper you fall, the deeper you fall, the more you fall. All in all, when there is no end, it is called endless meaning.

Because of these three meanings, the Bodhisattva of Infinite Intention wants to turn this immeasurable world into a world of bliss. I want to educate all sentient beings into Buddhas. and filled in all this bottomless river of love. Therefore, when the Bodhisattva of Infinite Mind, named Shakyamuni Buddha, taught the Great Collection of Sutras to the Infinite Bodhisattva, a great golden light naturally appeared in the east, and the three thousand worlds were pervasive, and if all the hells in this world were covered by its light, when the light of all living beings touched the body, all suffering and subtle happiness would be removed. Among the people in front of the Buddha, there are naturally six billion pure lotus flowers in the land, and the incense that comes out is all over the three thousand worlds, and the dragons and eight parts smell its incense. All have good joy and gradually get rid of troubles. The Buddha told Ananda that this is the Great Bodhisattva of Infinite Will, in the East, surrounded by six billion dependents, who want to come here, so he first appeared.

At the request of Venerable Sariputta, the Buddha told about the situation of the Bodhisattva of Endless Mind: There is a world in the East, where the universal virtuous people have come to educate the Bodhisattvas. The land there is delicate**, flat and vast, and there is no evil taste. The Buddha said, "The Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. Say it not in words. The bodhisattvas only meditate on the Buddha. Insatiable. I didn't blink. Even if you can recite the Buddha's samadhi, you can't live and endure. It is the name of the land that is not famous. "The Bodhisattva of Infinite Intention used his divine power to let the four people at the festival see the world and the universal virtuous Nyorai, and offered the lotus flower to the universal virtuous Nyorai.

After hearing the Buddha talk about the merits of the Bodhisattvas of Endless Mind and other Bodhisattvas in the Invisible World, the people of the puja made offerings to the Bodhisattvas of Endless Intention and their dependents, and rejoiced: "If there are sentient beings who hear their names. It is also immeasurably beneficial. If you hear it, praise it and call it meritorious. All should have a supreme Dao heart. โ€

When the Endless Intention Bodhisattva saw Taiming, he said: "People know that they are noble, they must not do anything at will, now they are in the Western Heaven, even if you are from the Taigu clan, what does it matter, if you don't listen to persuasion and have no one in your eyes, then don't blame us for being polite!"

Tai Ming smiled lightly, looked at the Endless Intention Bodhisattva, played with the folding fan in his hand and replied: "In this way, in order to show my sincerity, I decided to let you have one hand and one foot, so that you can save yourself from saying that I am a bully!"

When the Bodhisattva of Endless Intention heard this, his majesty was provoked, so he said, "Amitabha, it seems that you are obsessed!"

"Haha, is it obsessed or strength to speak, I think it's better to compare it first!" Taiming slowly rose into the air after speaking, and the Endless Intention Bodhisattva and the Puxian Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva saw this, and hurriedly rose into the air and began to fight.

Without three or two moves, the Bodhisattva of Endless Intention, the Bodhisattva of Puxian and the Bodhisattva of Manjushri have been inferior to others, and they were defeated, but fortunately, the six Buddhas rushed to rescue the injured Bodhisattva of Endless Intention and others, and looked at Taiming and said: "Bold fanatics, dare to spread wild ...... in the western sky"

"I said six, what kind of fun are you making, I just want to see the Buddha, but you have been obstructing here, and I have no choice but to hurt people!" Taiming said.

The Seven Buddhas are said to be the three Buddhas in the past ** tribulation, and now the four Buddhas in the virtuous tribulation. Tribulation, with clouds and waves, Huayan is in season. **Robbers, said to be in this calamity, many places**. The virtuous robbers, said to be in this calamity, are all virtuous. It's just a name, you don't have to be attached to it.

The corpse of the Buddha is full of wisdom like the full moon, and the clouds are everywhere. If you are confused, you will see the clouds pure. Both round and pure, then the cloud wins the view, the victory is the first of the seven Buddhas.

The corpse abandons the Buddha, which means fire, and the cloud holds the bun. It is said that the indiscriminate wisdom is the most respectful, and it is at the top of the heart. After thirty eons of the corpse of the Buddha, he became enlightened. The indiscriminate wisdom, that is, the fundamental wisdom, is said to be the foundation of the wisdom of the people.

The Buddha of Vaisha is all at ease. It is said that the troubles are cut off, and he is at ease everywhere, and he is the last Buddha of the thousand Buddhas in the ** catastrophe. Those who are troubled are also ignorant.

The detention of Sun Buddha is a matter of course. It means that all troubles will be cut off, and there will be no more. In the ninth calamity, the life expectancy was reduced to 60,000 years old, and he was born as a Buddha and became the head of a thousand Buddhas.

Ju Na contains Muni Buddha, meaning gold and silence, saying that gold is clear, and silence is unhindered. Also known as Gana Gamani, Huayan Golden Immortal. It is said that the body is golden. When his life expectancy was reduced to 40,000 years, he became a Buddha in Yan Futi.

Ka Ye Buddha, referred to as Ka Ye, translates as drinking light. It is said that the body is illustrious, and it can drink all the light. When the life expectancy is reduced to 20,000 years, he is born and becomes a Buddha.

Shakyamuni did not appear.

"Don't be here in this poor mouth, if you come to the Buddha, you can actually see it if you want to see it, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." The Buddha said.

"You're welcome, how else can you be polite? Even the Endless Intention Bodhisattva and the others are not my opponents, just the six of you?" I think that's it!" Tai Ming was a little rampant.

"Haha, of course it's not just the six of us, but with the addition of the eighteen Vajra Arhats, then you may not be our opponent!" said the detained Sun Fo.

Taiming regretted it a little, after all, these eighteen Vajra Arhats are not easy to mess with. But he still argued with reason: "You so many people bully me, what kind of Western Bliss Buddha is it?"

"It's no wonder we're blaming it, it's just that you're rude......" Kuna Hanmu Buddha said, "Where are the eighteen vajra arhats?"

"Eighteen Vajra Arhats are here!" Eighteen Arhats suddenly appeared from the western sky, for the sake of not sitting on the deer Arhat, rejoicing Arhat, raising the bowl Arhat, Tota Arhat, meditating Arhat, riding elephant Arhat, laughing lion Arhat, Happy Arhat, probing Arhat, contemplative Arhat, ear-digging Arhat, cloth bag Arhat, Banana Arhat, long-eyebrow Arhat, Gatekeeper Arhat, Dragon Descending Arhat, Fuhu Arhat.

One day, a deer-riding monk appeared in front of the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army recognized it as the Vara Fallen Pavilion, and hurriedly reported it to King Yutuoyan. The king came out to take him into the palace, said that the state was still vacant, and asked him if he would come back to be an official. He said that he wanted to guide the king to become a monk, and he used all kinds of metaphors to illustrate the disgusting nature of all kinds of desires, and as a result, the king gave up the crown prince and became a monk with him.
