Chapter 1204 I wish to swear to seek the Buddha's path with this body
。 [No pop-ups.]
At that moment, the son, who suddenly turned back, saw his father's actions and hurriedly stopped his father, saying, "You must not kill your mother, for how can a child in the world eat his mother's flesh to sustain his life? ”
After the son finished speaking, he hugged his mother tightly.
The man took the knife and burst into tears.
Then the son said to his father, "Cut off my flesh for food, but if I die, the flesh will rot." So don't kill me, just cut the meat piece by piece and eat it to save your life. ”
But parents can't bear to do it, but it's just a seven-year-old villain, and it's the meat of their parents' hearts.
When the son saw this, he drew his sword and cut off the flesh from his body, and presented it to his father and mother on his knees. The poor couple was frightened and lamented for a long time, until at last they had to fulfill their son's wish and eat his flesh.
For several days, the family struggled on a journey of grief and hunger. There are only a few pieces of flesh left between the bones on the child's body. The parents finally took off the pieces of meat and used them as food, and then left the bones of their son in the wilderness with tears in their eyes, and hurried away.
When the parents left, the child prayed in his heart: "O parents, I hope you will return to China safely, and I hope that with my self-sacrificing merits, I will become enlightened and become a Buddha in the future and help all sentient beings." ”
As soon as he thought of this, three thousand worlds, six kinds of vibrations, and the gods in the sky were amazed, and tears fell like rain.
At this time, in order to test the child's heart, the Emperor Shakti turned into a wolf and ate him.
The child said without fear, "Even though I have only one bone left, I am willing to give to the hungry wolf." ”
Shakti immediately disappeared in his wolf form and revealed his true face, exclaiming, "It is a rare act of righteousness to cut off one's own flesh to keep one's parents alive. If you have any wishes, tell me the truth. ”
The child said, "I have no other aspirations than to become enlightened and become a Buddha." ”
Shakti then asked, "Your body has no flesh and only bones, and at such a point do you hate your parents?"
The child said, "I don't have the slightest hatred." If I can become a Buddha, I can return to my original self. ”
As soon as the child's voice fell, suddenly the flesh and skin gradually grew, and soon returned to his original cute figure.
"Seeing this scene, you may have felt your sin?"
The illusion disappeared in front of Gu Yun's eyes, and an old monk with a bright Buddha looked at him and smiled kindly.
"This story is too fake, it's not the Buddha's idea, I'm afraid it was made up by the enlightened monk himself in later generations!" Gu Yun smiled indifferently.
"What is fake?"
"The child's parents lived on their son's flesh for many more days, so what did the child eat during these many days? He probably wouldn't have eaten his own flesh to survive? If he was hungry, then why didn't he starve to death? If the child didn't eat and didn't starve to death, then why couldn't his parents endure hunger, if their son was for food?"
"Uh! This child is the incarnation of the Buddha, so naturally he will not die?"
"Okay, then this is also an explanation, so I may ask, what did the Buddha do in the form of this child? Is it to provide a meal for his parents when they are hungry? Then I want to ask, is this love between parents and children the greatest love in the world?"
"Yes, that's why he has to sacrifice his body to keep his parents alive?"
"In your eyes, this kind of love is a kind of selfless love, isn't it? The disappearance of a life to keep the life of his parents alive sounds like a love that touches the heavens and the earth, but I say no, this kind of love cannot be called love, it can only be a manifestation of the hypocrisy of human nature, at the cost of the tearing of flesh and blood, who can enjoy the love in exchange for peace of mind? Even if his parents live, they will live in pain for the rest of their lives, in fact, what is the difference between death and death? It's better to die as a family, life is gone, but love is eternal. ”
"Your love is just a selfish love, and this child's dedication is the best reward for parents. ”
"My love is selfish, but all I see in this story is selfishness, parents can devour their sons for their own lives, and sons want to become Buddhas, but let their parents suffer the pain of devouring their sons; a seven-year-old child knows that even if he cultivates all his life, it will be difficult for him to become a Buddha, and this kind of inhumane dedication is a shortcut for him to become a Buddha!"
"Ah, you're blaspheming the Buddha!"
"Who is blaspheming the Buddha? What are you trying to do if you let this kind of story circulate? Are you trying to teach the world to eat people? Parents can do it when they face their sons, so what about other people? Will they be more ruthless?"
"Where are you a demon, then let you see my Buddha's great compassion!"
The space changed, and Gu Yun changed a scene in front of him.
Between the blue sky and white clouds, a hungry eagle pursues a poor pigeon.
The pigeon said to the eagle, "Leave me alone! You are now preying, and if you miss me, there is another one;
The eagle said, "I don't know what you say, but I'm starving now, and I can't live without you." It's not easy for everyone to live in this world, and I won't chase after me until I am cornered. ”
The Buddha, who had all beings in mind, happened to pass by, and when he heard compassion, he reached out and held the dove and hid it in his arms.
The eagle was so angry that he had to reason with the Buddha and say, "Buddha, you are so merciful and compassionate that you saved the life of this pigeon, can you bear to let my eagle starve to death?"
The Buddha said, "I can't bear to hurt this innocent pigeon, and I don't want you to starve to death in vain." There is a way that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. ”
So the Buddha took out a balance and put the pigeon on one side and the meat cut from himself on the other. Although the pigeon looked small, no matter how much the Buddha cut it, no matter how much flesh he cut, it seemed that it could not hold its weight.
The Buddha reproached himself and said, "I have made a vow to save all sentient beings in the sea of suffering, why can't I give up myself to save all sentient beings? ”
As soon as the Buddha's words fell, the scales were finally balanced! Heaven and earth changed color, and the true Buddha was born.
"You see what the true Buddha is for! Even if you face the lowly dove in the world, or the more evil eagle, he treats them equally, and would rather give up himself than hurt them, why can't you do it? Even if you can't give up yourself, for the sake of the preciousness of life, why can't you put down the butcher's knife and let go of those who were killed?"
The kind and kind old monk's eyes were full of love for all beings, and he wanted to pierce Gu Yun's heart.
"Haha! What a hypocrisy!"
Gu Yun laughed
