Chapter Eighty-Three: Duobao Incarnates and Preaches
Western teaching.
Tens of thousands of years have passed since Duobao incarnated to go to the West to teach.
This is tens of thousands of years.
Under the teachings of Receiving Guidance and Zhun Ti, the incarnation of Duobao recited and comprehended the scriptures and teachings of Western Buddhism day and night, and gradually realized the Mahayana Buddhism of Western Buddhism.
this day.
As usual, after reading the Western classics, Duobao met with Maitreya, Nikko, Moonlight, and Jizo to discuss the scriptures.
However, when talking about Duobao, everyone found that Duobao was uncertain.
"Senior Brother Duobao, but you have any doubts?"
Looking at Duobao's current situation, Jizo, who was friendly with Duobao's incarnation, said enthusiastically: "It's better to say it, and our senior brothers will help you learn a little bit about it." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Duobao."
After Jizo spoke, others also spoke up.
Looking at the four people with concerns in their eyes, Duobao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
I want to be at the beginning.
When I first came to the Western Sect, I was ostracized by the Western disciples because of my status as a foreign disciple of the Western Sect, believing that I was not a Western disciple or a Western person, and I was not qualified to listen to the Western Mystic Method. Reluctance to discuss with oneself.
Only Jizo and Maitreya and others.
Regardless of the opposition of the crowd, he explained to himself the incomprehension of Western Mahayana Buddhism.
Although the four of them also looked at the faces of the two saints at the beginning, as time went by, Duobao had more contact with the four of them, and Duobao could really feel the changes and sincerity of the four people's mentality.
"Thank you for your concern."
"I'm not confused."
"But a thought suddenly arose in my heart that I wanted to go down the mountain to preach and declare the Mahayana method that I had comprehended." Looking at the four people who were concerned, Duobao said what he thought in his heart without reservation.
"Preacher?"
"Why does Senior Brother Duobao have such an idea?"
"Great goodness."
In contrast to the surprise of the two of them, Maitreya directly praised the good and praised the move, saying: "I have heard that the two saints, Master and Uncle, before becoming sanctified, walked the entire West to preach their own Dharma in order to educate Western beings. ”
"Senior Brother Duobao wants to emulate the two saints."
"I don't dare to compare with the saints, it's just that the Mahayana method has fallen into a bottleneck and has broken through the needs of going down the mountain, but I have promised the two saints, and when I have achieved cultivation, I will personally convert the Western saints to refuge." Regarding Maitreya's comparison of himself with the two in the West, Duobao shook his head again and again after hearing this.
"If Senior Brother Duobao has this wish, Jizo is willing to accompany Senior Brother Duobao to go there." Jizo, who was pondering on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Senior Brother Jizo."
"Senior Brother Jizo."
Hearing Jizo's words, Maitreya and Nikko and Moonlight couldn't help but be startled again, and looked at Jizo in disbelief.
……
Thereupon.
After receiving Zhun Ti back to Mount Meru, Duobao and Jizo immediately went to ask for an audience and told the two sages their thoughts.
on this.
Zhun Ti did not oppose it, but was very supportive.
Because in the two of them, the two saints saw their former selves and also saw that the Mahayana method of the two of them was about to be consummated, and after this trip, the West will receive two quasi-saints.
After seeking the consent of the two saints, Duobao and Jizo did not pack up and went directly down the mountain to preach.
Along.
Duobao and Jizo did not perform any spells, but continued to preach and solve doubts in the Western continent in the form of ascetics, explaining the Mahayana method to Western beings.
Unlike the East.
Life in the West is even more difficult, not only for survival, but also for food.
So at first, the ministry of the two men did not go well.
Life can't go on, who is in the mood to listen to people's preaching.
Faced with such a situation.
Duobao did not give up, but while helping sentient beings solve problems in life, he also opened his wisdom to sentient beings and answered their doubts, so that sentient beings could not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also know the truth of the Supreme Mystic Law.
That's it.
Wherever they went, whenever they heard of suffering beings, they would go there to solve their problems and teach the Mystic Dharma to the people.
year.
Two years.
……
Century.
One place.
A hundred.
……
10,000 places.
……
After preaching countless times, Duobao and Jizo have also become more and more enlightened and have a deeper understanding of the Mahayana method.
Duration.
The two also gained a large number of followers, determined to walk with them to rescue the suffering beings in the West and guide them in their search for happiness.
But how big the West is.
One day.
After helping the nearby people to complete the renovation of the canal, Duobao and Jizo began to preach with the people again.
"Venerable, what is emptiness?"
"Emptiness is nothingness, formlessness, formlessness, colorlessness, thoughtlessness, absence of otherness, selflessness, and non-appearance, which is the origin and end of everything."
"Venerable, what is the appearance?"
"The phase is the skin, all external objects are the phase, you are the phase, I am the phase, and all living beings are the phase."
……
"Teacher, what is Purdue? How to Purdue? Can sentient beings be purified? Suddenly, one of the ascetics asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Seeing that the question was asked by an ascetic who had followed him for a long time, Duobao did not answer the other party immediately this time, but asked rhetorically, because Duobao sensed that the other party's heart was shaken,
In the face of Duobao's inquiry, the ascetic did not hide it, but told Duobao the news that he had heard the sermon the day before.
Originally.
The reason why the ascetic was shaken was that in the past few days he had heard that the place where he had preached had changed to what it had been when he had been in the same place shortly after he had left, because of other circumstances.
"Pudu is in the heart, and he is in himself."
"If you have the wish of Pudu, you should do it, you should do it, you have the heart of Pudu, you should persevere, and the people of Pudu are the same, if you don't have perseverance and don't practice its way, how can you cross, how can you succeed."
"Teacher Xie has solved his doubts, and the disciple has understood." Listening to Duobao's answer, the other party had all his thoughts, and then saluted Duobao again.
That's when it happened.
"Senior Brother Duobao?"
"Have you ever thought of compiling these truths into a book?" Jizo, who had been listening to the sermon with peace of mind, suddenly spoke up and persuaded Duobao to compile the teachings he had realized into a book.
"This?"
"Please Venerable/Teacher, it will be fulfilled." When Duobao hesitated, all the people who were listening to the sermon kowtowed in unison and pleaded with Duobao through Jizo's reminder.
"Senior Brother Duobao, you see, this is not only my idea, but also theirs."
Looking at Duobao, who was still hesitating, Jizo persuaded again: "Senior brother has the heart of Pudu, and all sentient beings also have the wish of Pudu, senior brother should fulfill them and fulfill himself." ”
"Okay."
Looked at.
Duobao no longer hesitated, and immediately decided to sort out and explain the truth he had realized, and then edit it into a book and teach it to everyone.
Just do what you say.
Immediately, Duobao sent people to the place of the lord of the city-state and told him about his wish to build a high platform and preach the Mahayana method.
I hope that the other party can help and spread the news of his preaching, so that more people can come and hear what he preached.
