Lingshan.

Daileiyin Temple.

Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Outside the temple gate, countless small worlds collide with each other, every moment there are tens of thousands of small worlds annihilated here, relying on countless vast worlds, the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall has stood between the void since ancient times, towering on the bank of the shadow of the long river of time.

A solemn Buddha of the Eight Realms walked to the front of the temple gate, looking at the phantom shadow cast by the vast river of time, and his expression was faintly solemn.

After a few breaths, another Sumeru protector appeared under the temple gate, bowed to the Buddha of the Eight Realms, and said in a deep voice: "Venerable Ananda, under the Buddha statue of the ancient Buddha, there is a chanting Buddha statue, and a vision is born. ”

Venerable Ananda, one of the disciples of the World Venerable, is like the full moon in autumn, and his eyes are like green lotus flowers, he can break through the realm of reincarnation before the immeasurable eons, and now he is on duty in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, with a handsome and solemn appearance, which makes the people who see it happy.

Retracting his gaze above the shadow of the long river of time, Venerable Ananda glanced at the Sumeru Protector beside him with a respectful expression, and said calmly: "What a vision? ”

The Sumeru Protector presented a scroll of brocade silk glowing with golden light in both hands, and said: "The Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism in his hand has turned into the Past Buddha of the Third Buddha." ”

Venerable Ananda didn't seem surprised, he took the scroll of brocade, looked at it carefully for a while, and said softly, "This is a terrible omen. ”

The Sumeru Protector looked puzzled and said, "I am stupid, and I hope that His Holiness will speak clearly." ”

Venerable Ananda tied the scroll of brocade silk around his arm, looked at the phantom of the long river outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and said, "Do you know where the Great Realm of the Zhou Heaven came from?" ”

The Sumeru Protector nodded and said: "In ancient times, there was endless chaos between heaven and earth, and suddenly one day, the turbidity and qi split, among which the clear one is the sky, and the turbid one is the earth. ”

"That's true, but it's not entirely true," Venerable Ananda smiled, "Before the chaos of the sun and the moon and the division of the Three Realms, there was an extremely long period of time, this period of time existed before the opening of the heavens, and its length was simply immeasurable, completely unimaginable, and even the long years you and I spent were not even babies in front of this time. ”

The Sumeru Protector looked solemn and listened quietly.

Venerable Ananda opened the brocade silk in his hand again and recited the Sanskrit text on it in a low voice: "In the past, on the day of the Buddha's first birth, all directions were bright, the sun and moon were useless, and everything around them was like a lamp, hence the name of the lamp." ”

"After becoming a Buddha, the Buddha is the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp, and he is the ancestor of the Buddhas of the past."

At this point, Venerable Ananda looked sideways at the Sumeru Protector, "However, in this state of heaven, have you ever heard of the existence of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha?" ”

The Sumeru Protector shook his head and said, "The light of the Immeasurable Buddha of the World-Honored One shines through the ages, and the Buddhas of the past only exist in the past, and do not appear in the present world. ”

Venerable Ananda bowed his head and said, "I don't know if the so-called Buddhas of the past existed, but the Buddhas under his seat really existed, and they really existed in the time before the opening of the heavens, and they were trapped in the long time before the opening of the heavens, and they will never wait for the end. ”

"As long as there are records of 'past Buddhas' in Mahayana Buddhism, it will never be possible for them to break free from the shackles of this time."

Hearing this, the Sumeru Dharma Protector felt a chill in his heart, put his palms together, and made a Buddha salute towards the highest place of the Great Lei Yin Temple, and said: "My Buddha is merciful, and the Buddhas under the ancient Buddha seat of the lamp still have such a origin!" ”

Venerable Ananda pointed to the Past Buddha of the Three Buddhas in his hand and said, "Just now you noticed that the Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism has turned into this thing, which is telling me to wait for a bad omen. ”

Sumeru's eyes were contemplative, and he said, "Dare to ask His Holiness, what is the omen?" ”

Venerable Ananda sighed and said, "What would they do if one day, when all the records of the ancient Buddhas gradually faded away, and the time before the opening of the heavens finally came to an end, and the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddhas who burned the lamps broke free from that endless torment?" ”

Sumeru's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "But even if they get out of that time, they only exist before the opening of the heavens that are endlessly long away from this time, what can they do?" ”

Venerable Ananda shook his head and said, "No, the World-Honored One once said that everything in the world has its 'nature', not only heaven and earth and all spirits, but even time and space. ”

"If the Buddhas under the ancient Buddha seat of the lamp really walked out of that time, they would have come to this world in a way that we cannot understand, spanning the long and boundless years from before the opening of the heavens to the present day."

"Even if I am as dull as I am, after several immeasurable eons, I have ascended to transcendence, broken through reincarnation, and entered the eighth realm."

"The time that the Buddhas under the ancient Buddha seat of the lamp have crossed, coupled with the endless tormenting years before the opening of the heavens, thousands of immeasurable eons are innumerable."

"If so, if they really came into the world...... I'm afraid it's a terrifying realm tribulation that has swept through the realm of the state sky. ”

Hearing this, the face of the Sumeru Protector was extremely pale, and he said in a gaffe: "Venerable Ananda, has the World Venerable ever known about this?!" ”

Venerable Ananda said flatly: "The World-Honored One can hear the Three Realms with a pinching of his fingers, and know the past and the future, how can he not know? ”

Only then did Sumeru's expression soften, and he said, "Did the World Venerable ever say, how should we break the calamity?" ”

Venerable Ananda glanced at him, shook his head again, and said: "The World Venerable is the present Buddha of the three Buddhas, although its mana is immeasurable, but it is inseparable from the three Buddhas. ”

"Not only the realm of the state sky, but also the realm of any galaxy and river has a realm tribulation, and the same is true of the realm of the life lock adjacent to the realm of my state of heaven, although we have already ascended to the three realms of the holding realm, there is nothing we can do about it."

The realm of detachment, the realm of reincarnation, and the realm of peeking into the sky, these three realms are collectively called the three realms of the realm, because the creatures of these three realms have all been detached from the world and can feed back to the galaxy realm that gave birth to them to a certain extent, so they are also called the realm-holding beings.

At this point, Venerable Ananda turned around, held the volume of "The Past Buddha of the Three Buddhas", and slowly walked into the depths of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"Also, you're a little bit obsessed."

"Thank you, Venerable Ananda, for your teachings."

The Sumeru Protector looked at the place where Venerable Ananda had left in a daze, until he heard the last words he left, and then he couldn't help but suddenly come back to his senses, folded his hands, and respectfully performed a Buddha salute, with a very pious face.

……

After his departure, the phantom of the long river of time in front of the door of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas suddenly splashed with water, and after a few breaths, these splashes gradually disappeared, blending into the phantom of the calm and waveless river, and there was no trace.
