"Like the Buddha, please take a seat, and wait for the disciple to discuss the Dharma with this Tang monk."

The abbot elder bowed to the Elephant Buddha, and the monks of the temple also hurriedly bowed: "Meet the Elephant Buddha." ”

Just as they trusted Venerable Sanzang just now, now that the presiding officers of this institute call him "Elephant Buddha", then it is naturally right.

They also reacted at this moment, like a Buddha, like a Buddha, shouldn't it be like this?

Many pious monks couldn't even help but cry with joy, because the elephant Buddha had not appeared for a long time, so that the outside world continued to gossip, and the previous king closed the temple, if there was still royal incense, it was almost broken their faith in their hearts.

Now that I see the real body of the elephant Buddha, I naturally can't hide my excitement.

Master Sanzang watched from the sidelines, and when he saw these monks and saw the immortal Buddha who was worshiped at home, he felt empathy from the heart... I don't know why, I suddenly thought of the scene in the Guanyin Zen Temple that day.

What is the difference between the actions of the abbots and elders of the two houses?

If you look at it this way, as long as there is goodness in your heart, it doesn't depend on whether the Buddha statue you worship is true or not.

Master Sanzang had seen it clearly last night, and he naturally knew what the abbot elder's Dharma cultivation was, but at this moment, when he dared to appoint and really wanted to protect the fate of this little elephant, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

The little elephant originally wanted to say some cruel words, but when he saw the monks worshipping at this moment, he also put up a stand and instructed the abbot elder: "Just for you to discuss the Fa with him, this seat will sweep the battle for you and help you win!" ”

"Wait and listen." When the little elephant was about to sit down to watch the ceremony, he still seemed to feel uneasy, and looked around at Master Sanzang and his party, especially staring at the few fierce-looking disciples under him, and said, "If you lose for a while, don't admit it." If you rely on the large number of people, you will be arrogant and bully my old abbot... Hmph, don't blame this seat for having a hard fist! ”

When the Great Sage and the others heard the words of the little elephant, they felt funny in their hearts, and only said that although he was a little arrogant, he was also a little righteous.

It's much more interesting than the vicious monsters I've encountered before.

Thinking of the black bear spirit, he wanted to get a positive result, but his heart was black, and he just snatched the robe, and he had to kill the abbot of the Guanyin Monastery; That yellow wind rat is the spirit rat at the foot of Lingshan who listens to the Buddha's teachings, isn't it a calamity for eating people?

On the contrary, this little elephant has been sealed in this golden body for a hundred years, and has been a false Buddha for two hundred years, but it shows its true nature.

The Great Sacred Heart said: Just this point, if you have a conflict with the master for a while, my grandson will also ask for a favor for you.

The king looked at the elephant Buddha and said to himself, "It's not a vicious demon Buddha, how can you ask for a virgin as a sacrifice when you open your mouth?"

The abbot elder set up the incense sticks, and the monks first saluted together under his leadership, and then spread out the dharma field and laid out the two futons.

"Please."

The abbot elder invited Venerable Sanzang to take a seat.

"Please."

Fahai also please.

After the two sides sat down and bowed to each other, the abbot elder spoke: "Please ask the master for advice." ”

Again, he doesn't know the details of Master Sanzang, but he understands that he is two pounds, rather than showing his bottom first, it is better to look at the Dharma of Master Sanzang first, so that he can deal with it.

Fahai thought for a while and said, "If you come to merit, if all the Buddhas in the ten directions, the scriptures cannot be said to be extremely fine dust of the Buddhas, and the successive speeches cannot be exhausted!" If you want to achieve this meritorious door, you should practice ten kinds of vows, what are the ten? ”

This is an introductory question.

The abbot elder didn't know the depth of Fahai, but Fahai had already found out their details last night, and this time it didn't look like talking about Buddha, but like preaching scriptures.

There are very few scriptures in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, and even fewer complete Buddhist scriptures.

What he is talking about at this moment is taken from the [Lotus Sutra of Dafang Guang Buddha] in the [Entering the Realm of Incredible Liberation Puxian Bodhisattva Wishes], the reason why we want to talk about this scripture is actually because this little elephant is the son of the white elephant with the tusks under the seat of the Puxian Bodhisattva, and it is also a fate.

After all, the current Fahai, the Buddhist scriptures in my mind have long been all-encompassing, and the Mahayana and Hinayana external encrypting sects can be said to be eclectic to the strengths of all families. In addition, even the Bodhisattva recognizes him as the true spirit revival of the golden cicada, and these Mahayana Buddhism do not have to be deliberately hidden.

The abbot elder was silent, this scripture... He didn't know.

Seeing that the abbot and elder did not speak, the little elephant thought about it for a long time and found nothing, so he said above it: "What kind of scripture is this, why haven't you heard it?" ”

He also worked hard yesterday, and he had already read the scriptures in the temple overnight.

Fahai slowly spoke: "Fuxian Bodhisattva wishes." ”

Hiss –

The baby elephant gasped, this time it was really out of hardness.

When he looked at Fahai, he was even more confident, could it be that his heels had been seen through... Otherwise, this Tang monk didn't choose so many scriptures, why did he choose this one?

Isn't this a point of oneself?

Thinking like this, the little elephant seemed to have seen the answer in Fahai's eyes, and he saw in the bright stars: "That's right, the poor monk has seen the original form of your demon."

If it weren't for the fact that his body had already metamorphosed to this point, he wouldn't even be able to help but turn into his original form under his gaze!

Ah!

Is he really a monk?!

The little elephant's whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, he didn't know what would happen to him in the future, was he exposed to the Bodhisattva, and the idea of cultivating the positive result was broken?

But I've been banned for 200 years, and I'm about to do it... He even regretted it a little at this moment, regretting why he had to deal with the king at that time.

It's all because of his own thoughts, he buried his own way with his own hands, and now he has provoked a Tang monk...

When he looked at Master Sanzang again, there seemed to be a little pleading in his eyes, wanting to ask this Tang Dynasty monk to let him live.

The abbot elder seemed to have a new sense of rebirth, and he saw the fear in the eyes of the "little elephant", and said to himself: I really guessed correctly, this little elephant is a spirit receiving incense here, not a real Buddha.

At this moment, when he heard "Fuxian Bodhisattva" was so shocked, he suddenly thought that he had seen it in a lonely book back then, and Fuxian Bodhisattva appeared on a white elephant...

There is already a little clarity and relaxation in my heart, but there is a little reluctance in my heart.

The ease of doing is that, after all, the "elephant Buddha" that he has worshiped all his life is a bodhisattva mount, not a monster.

The reluctance lies in the fact that if his identity is revealed, I am afraid that the future is uncertain, although the "Treasure Elephant Buddhist Sutra" he recited is fake, but he lived for more than 70 years, and the truth is clear.

With the body of a demon, in the name of the true Buddha, the audience makes incense... I'm afraid it's not something that can be ended with a simple punishment.

"Alas—" the abbot elder sighed and said, "Although the poor monk has never learned this scripture, he has some superficial opinions. If there are a large number of vows: one is respectful, two are cultivated, three are practiced, four are repentant, and five are preached..."

The abbot elder seemed to be a little speechless, and Fahai opened his mouth and asked, "One respects, what is respect?" ”

The abbot elder thought for a moment and said, "Respect the Buddha." ”

Fahai deliberately said: "Only worship the Buddha? Is heaven and earth honorable? Are sentient beings respectable? You and me, are you respectable? ”

The abbot elder was stunned, as if he wanted to learn something from what he had learned, but he heard Master Sanzang smile and said, "Puxian Bodhisattva said, one, pay tribute to the Buddhas." ”

The abbot's eyes lit up, but before he could be overjoyed, he listened to Master Sanzang continue: "Saluting is not respectful, but respectful, all over the body and mouth, and praying. That is, contemplating with the mind, praying with the body, and reciting with the mouth all those who are respected. ”

The so-called Buddha is like a ritual, there are endless Buddhas, there are Buddhas in the dust, heaven and earth are Buddhas, all living beings are Buddhas, and you and I are Buddhas. All dharmas are not born, all dharmas are not extinguished...

This last sentence, Fahai just thought about it in his heart, and did not say it, after all, such words were still a little difficult to digest for the abbot elder in front of him.

The abbot elder had gained a lot, and when he was realizing, he heard Fahai ask him: "What is the cultivation of the two?" ”

"Slim?"

Fahai said: "Puxian Bodhisattva said: The three are widely cultivated and offered. ”

The little elephant also saw that the Sanzang Master was pleading under his own eyes, and did not look for his own trouble, but concentrated on discussing the Fa with the presiding elder, and also listened carefully, at this moment, seeing that Fahai skipped two, and went directly to Yan San, his heart was stabbed, and he couldn't help but ask: "Divine monk, what is the second?" ”

Seeing that everyone looked at it, the little elephant shook his nose and said, "Can't you ask?" ”

Yes, how can't.

The abbot elder also simply bowed to Fahai and said sincerely: "Please ask the monks to pass on the Dharma." ”

Seeing this, the monks also bowed down one after another: "Please ask the monks to spread the Dharma-"

Fahai glanced at the baby elephant, and the baby elephant's heart sank, and I had more mouths.

He looked at the kneeling monks again, and naturally knew how important what the monk was talking about now was to them.

In fact, last night, the abbot elder had already explained to him, saying that the odds of winning today were not great, the main reason was that their "Treasure Elephant Buddhist Sutra" was two hundred years old, and it was indeed a fake Buddhist scripture.

When he heard about Fuxian Bodhisattva just now, he already knew that something was wrong, but he was still lucky, but now he couldn't pretend to be it.

This time it was difficult to escape, the little elephant sighed in his heart, and said, "Just ask the monk to teach the Fa, I am willing to let it——"

"Good."

Fahai didn't wait for the little elephant to finish speaking and nodded in response, he had no intention of using this to blackmail the little elephant into submission, but subconsciously probed his character again...

"Amitabha." Fahai didn't sell it anymore, and said in one breath, "What is ten?" First, pay homage to the Buddhas. Both, praise as comes. Three, extensive cultivation and support. Fourth, repentance of karma. Fifth, rejoice in merit. Sixth, please turn to the law. Seventh, please Buddha live in the world. Eighth, always follow the Buddhism. Nine, Hengshun sentient beings. Ten, universal dedication. ”

Then he explained them one by one, during which he did not mix his special views on the ten vows, but simply talked about the connotation.

That's it, and everyone present was fascinated by it.

This is also due to the depth of Fahai Buddhism, which is often able to use the most concise words to explain the profound meaning contained in it.

The abbot burst into tears for a while, and he practiced Buddhism all his life, and he couldn't imagine that he could listen to the wonderful sound of the holy Buddha when he was about to die.

"Moo-"

The baby elephant couldn't help but make an original sound, attracting everyone's attention.

At this end of the vows of the Fuxian line, Fahai looked at the little elephant and said, "Elephant Buddha-"

"The monk torments me!" The baby elephant didn't even dare to cry.
