Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ancient Buddha Passes the Lamp, and Shakya's Path to Verification
On the snowy mountain, Ran Deng opened his eyes: "Is it finally about to start?"
At this time, if his disciples saw it, they would definitely be surprised. The lamp, which was originally like a teenager, was now white, shaped like a tree, and it had almost run out of oil and dried up, approaching the limit of its lifespan.
Since Siddhartha Gautama was born decades ago, he has sat quietly on the snowy mountains to help his biological mother Gunti in this life control the Morichi Heaven and attain the Bright Heaven Mother Fruit.
Then, the seemingly ordinary oil lamp in his hand became more and more miraculous, and the lamp himself became more and more old.
"Mother, if enlightenment is imminent, you will take the first step towards supreme enlightenment. Take my lamp and pass it to him, and congratulate him. ”
The lamp in front of him is an artifact that Randen has been forging since he created the Shamen cultivation method, and has accompanied him in this life since he was a teenager.
Now this oil lamp, in the eyes of the bodhisattvas he preached, is already a holy object of Shamen, a symbol of him.
"What are you······ ?”
Gundy's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what Ran Deng had said decades ago, he, is this going to be extinguished?
Randen smiled slightly, waved her big sleeves, and suddenly Gundy appeared outside the snowy mountain, in the palm of her hand, holding the oil lamp.
"The Indian Divine Domain is different from other Divine Domains, and the Ziwei Emperor is hindered by the existence of Rulai, so it is difficult for him to directly control the heavens and stars. Now you are the Mother of Light, and when you are in charge of all the sun, moon and stars, when you walk this way, all Shamen Bodhisattvas should help you. ”
The voice faintly reached Gonti's ears, and her heart suddenly moved, this voice no longer felt like a lamp, but more similar to the Lord of the Stars she had seen before.
With a low sigh, Gunti looked up at the sky, and then knelt down to the ground in the far north to bow to the ground.
Although Randen was reincarnated as her son, the Lord of the Stars was very kind to her. And whether it is the lamp or the lord of the stars, it can be regarded as her teacher.
You are not allowed to bow down to your son, but for his deity, there is no mustard in the bowing of the Gunti.
After saluting, Gonti followed the light and headed to the southwest.

"The emperor passed the lamp this time, but it was a little biased. ”
On the top of the snow-capped mountain, Taishang and Adros stood quietly above the clouds, and a true spiritual light flew out of the vulture cave and returned to Adros's body.
With the cultivation of the ether, he naturally saw Adros's intentions at a glance. At such a critical moment, it is obvious to give a lamp to one of the warring parties and send a supreme magic weapon.
Adros carefully comprehended the information fed back to him by this true spirit light, and after a long time, he sighed: "Since you have received so much from the Indian Divine Domain, you naturally have to return it." ”
The practice of Shaman, the results of burning the lamp, are all obtained from the Indian gods. It's okay not to return it naturally, the so-called cause and effect of the Indian God Domain can no longer bind Adros to the slightest.
But in his heart, he still tends to sort out the gains and losses of cause and effect, and don't let this affect his future path.
"Also, since the emperor is going to take the last step, he should indeed cut off some senseless connections. It's just that in this way, the Demon Lord, the emperor is afraid that he will be offended. ”
Taishang smiled disapprovingly, looking at the two great supernatural beings in the middle of the confrontation in the distance.
"It's okay, in the future, I still have one thing that I need to do with this demon lord, and he won't care about this kind of trivial matter at that time. ”
As soon as Adros said it, the avenue had a sense, and Taishang naturally knew what Adros was talking about.
He praised in his mouth: "Such a great meritorious thing can be done by Emperor Ziwei in collusion with all domains." Da Tianzun invited you to send the post this time, which is indeed the most appropriate. ”
In the battle of the Southwest Divine Domain, in addition to Taishang and Adros, the emperors and golden immortals of the Heavenly Court were all in the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and they were watched with the Haotian Mirror. This mirror, like Haotian Tower, was originally the object of Emperor Jun of Dongjun.
It was only later that he led the natural gods and the human gods led by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan to fight for many years during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the end, he was defeated in Muye and entrusted these two artifacts to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and even his Haotian god name was crowned on Xuanyuan's head.
Therefore, the Great Heavenly Venerable in the Heavenly Court has another name, Haotian God.
"The emperor wants to do this great meritorious thing, have you ever thought about how to take the last step?"
After all, Taishang has not forgotten his feelings, and he has not yet walked out, let alone knowing that other gods have set foot on the road of Daluo.
"I have some ideas, since it starts from the stars, it is natural to return to the stars, from the road, and naturally to return to the road. ”
Adros smiled leisurely, and in the last step, he had a general idea, but he still needed to take his time, and first look at the other ways that existed in the same realm as him.
······
In the Hindu Divine Domain, at this time, all beings are saying that there is a saint of the Shakya clan who is about to be born. Although this argument was vigorously opposed by the Brahmin priests, Kshatriyas, who could almost compete with the Brahmins, did not care at all.
At the very least, neither Shiva nor Lord Vishnu has pronounced an oracle against the news that is now widely spread in the world.
And the world is recognized as the saint of the Shakya tribe, the prince of the Acropolis of Kapila, Siddhartha Gautama.
This extraordinary prince from birth began training at the age of seven in the Vedas and the Five Wisdoms, as well as compulsory courses in the art of war, martial arts, yoga and other princely courses.
At the age of sixteen, Siddhartha Gautama married Yajendhara, the daughter of the lord of the Heavenly Arm, and had a son named Rahula. Although he had various visions at the time of his birth, the prince's youth was no different from that of other Kshatriya nobles, and he lived in luxury, with great pleasure and pleasure, and lived in palaces that were warm, cool, and rainy.
But when he was about twenty years old, he suddenly got tired of the aristocratic life of dogs and horses, and began to think about the question between life and death. Finally, one night, he left the royal city alone and traveled to the banks of the Anama River, where he shaved his hair and removed his ornaments to sign his practice in the sand gate.
Shamen is a kind of practice that was founded by burning lamps and carried forward by his disciples. In contrast to the Brahmins, he opposed the caste system, and the world was like the sand of the Ganges, regardless of whether he was high or low, hence the name Shaman.
Shamen practice, with precepts, meditation, and wisdom cultivation as the core, will eventually have inner stability, wisdom and mastery, get rid of troubles, become an arhat, and become a bodhisattva.
When Siddhartha Gautama entered the Shaman, it was the time when the sixteen kingdoms of the Indian Divine Domain were competing for hegemony, and various currents of thought different from Brahmins appeared, the most typical of which was the Shaman schools and the Jain method.
Jainism is also the original Adros preached, he will comprehend the method of yoga, in the Indian world, after hundreds of years, 24 generations, at this time, has been the collection of Jain yoga masterpiece, named Raft Mana.
His disciples honored him as Mahavira, the great hero, or Nobita for short.
Siddhartha Gautama came to the country of Magadha, the central country of the Indian god domain, where the competition between the Dharma sects was fierce. At this time, the Jain Venerable Nobita was preaching here.
This prince who came from afar, although he practiced from Shaman, was also studying the methods of Jainism. Eventually, with reference to the Jain teachings, he understood the ultimate meaning of keeping the vows, and attained righteous wisdom, true faith, and righteous deeds.
In the midst of his rivalry with the Dharma sects, he caught the attention of King Pimpasara, who advised him to give up his ordination and give him an army, but he refused and chose a more difficult path, meditation.
After that, he went from learning the corpse to abandon the bodhisattva incarnation of Aroda Garan to "having nothing". Aroda wanted him to stay, but he withdrew because he was not satisfied, and he went on to learn from the Buddha of the Buddha Vaibha, who was incarnated by the bodhisattva, to attain a deeper sense of "non-thinking, non-thinking", that is, to understand the difference between "thinking" and "non-thinking", dwelling in the knowledge of "equality and silence", and feeling that the mind seems to be one with the "immovable truth", which is the highest state of meditation.
Although he had reached the highest level of meditation and practice, he was able to attain wisdom and get rid of his troubles, but outside of meditation, Gautama felt that his heart began to waver.
So, in order to attain a higher level of enlightenment, Siddhartha Gautama, after discussing the Dharma with the Jain Mahavira, received ascetic guidance from the other party, and began a six-year ascetic career, destroying his body and mind.
On the day of Shakya's departure, it was the time of Nobita's death, and when he died, his disciples surrounded him, and Nobita just sighed: "This is the first-class saint qualification in the world, but it is a pity that he cannot become a Jain saint after all." Alas, after the self, the road of Jainism has come to an end. ”
During the ascetic journey, Siddhartha Gautama transcended the status of an arhat and attained bodhisattva behavior. It was also during this time that he began to recruit a wide range of disciples, who called him Shakya.
Finally, after six years of asceticism, he decided that asceticism was useless and could not achieve the supreme enlightenment he wanted, so he gave up asceticism. He recalls his first Zen experience under a tree as a child and thinks it might help. He bathed in the Nirenchan River and received an offering of chyle from the shepherd daughter Suyida, and thus made an offering, which made some of the disciples who were only willing to do asceticism dissatisfied, and left him.
But Shakyamuni didn't care, and took the rest of his disciples to the city of Gaya, not far from the ascetic place, and sat quietly under a Bodhi tree in the city, meditating and meditating, and re-entering the supreme meditation.
Letting go of the ascetic obsession, Shakyamuni's heart was faintly touched, and he decided to feel this touch under this Bodhi tree.
At this time, the army of the Persian God Domain began to attack the Indian God Domain. The gods of the Persian realm also began to fight with the gods of the Hindu realm.
The Persian god domain mentioned here is not only the Persian god domain, the gods under the command of Marduk, almost poured out, whether it was Babylon, Hittite or Persia, all invaded India.
