"Long time no see."

I remember when I was young, under the Bodhi tree, the low-eyed Bodhisattva was particularly beautiful.

Compassion, kindness, holiness, innocence...... All good words are not too much to use on her.

At that time, Xuankong was just a seven or eight-year-old child, and he was fascinated by her at the first sight.

This is not the so-called lustful confusion, but the yearning and worship of some beautiful thing and precious person.

Perhaps it was in her footsteps that Xuankong escaped into the empty gate and became a monk who practiced day and night.

It's just that when I see her again at this time, the positions of both sides have changed.

The two are hostile, why is that? Lingshan is full of the obsession of gods and Buddhas, why is this?

"Why did you argue with the World-Honored One?"

At that time, the White Lotus Bodhisattva was in full swing in the entire Vulture Mountain, even a few Buddhas were faintly covered by her brilliance.

The Buddha recites the Buddha day and night, and among the people, in addition to the Buddha, the White Lotus Bodhisattva has become the first representative of the Buddha and is widely worshipped by incense.

Until one day, in the Vulture Mountain, she argued with the Buddha, causing the world-honored Buddha to be dissatisfied, and his status plummeted.

"Maybe he's a little disappointed."

"That person is so worth so much for you?"

"Who knows?"

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and no longer spoke.

At this time, Chen Liu and the others were confused, and they were really outsiders.

The Xuankong Arhat pushed a cup of tea for each of them, and told the half-told story to himself.

After she was sunk into the river by ignorant villagers, she did not die, but her mind was separated, and there was an extra soul in her body.

This soul is completely different from hers, jumping out, unrestrained, freewheeling, daring to love and hate. This soul thought it was the essence and wanted to separate from her, but it didn't succeed.

So she became the yang side of this body, and the extra soul became the yin side.

Sometimes she is still a gentle and kind white, and sometimes she becomes a woman in red who does what she wants.

She didn't know who had brought her ashore, but she didn't hold grudge even if she had suffered such injustice.

The churning river was not her doing, and although she did not forgive, she did not want to hold a grudge, but she did not come back to this place, nor did she think about it again.

By chance, under the guidance of a temple host, she escaped through the empty door.

She does not change her nature, she does one good, ten good, and hundreds of goodness every day, creating sentient beings.

The woman in red wanted to make trouble many times, but she was also suppressed.

As a result, the cinnabar on her forehead no longer became a representative of the demon, and the face of the prosperous age was no longer considered a fox, but a god sent by God to save the suffering.

Relief of suffering, great mercy and compassion.

In the end, she was brought into the Vulture Mountain with great merit and established herself as a Buddha, but because on the way to the coronation, she fed a tiger with her body, just to save a lamb in the mouth of a tiger, so she missed the opportunity and only obtained the bodhisattva position.

But even so, the World-Honored Buddha still favored her very much, gradually promoted her from the last seat to the first Bodhisattva, faintly overshadowed several Buddhas, and even intended to entrust the Lingshan unification to her.

During that time, the fame of the White Lotus Bodhisattva spread far and wide, and there were countless believers in the world.

Buddhist disciples worship Lingshan, in addition to the Buddha, it is the white lotus.

Why is it that in one day, all the statues of the gods were shattered, and since then they have been erased from the history of Buddhism, and there are only a few rumors?

"Just because of one person."

"Who?"

Chen Liu and the others were fascinated by what they heard, and they immediately asked.

"The swordsman."

The Xuankong Arhat showed a sad and even somewhat resentful expression.

But the white-clothed woman Bodhisattva smiled gently and was noncommittal.

The swordsman stole the true scriptures of the Leiyin Temple, was captured by the Garuda Bodhisattva, and held in front of the Buddha.

"Why did you steal the scriptures?"

"No, why. If you want it, you steal it. Nothing to say. ”

"Evil beasts! If you don't crush your bones and scatter ashes, and your spiritual consciousness is annihilated, you don't know that the Dharma is terrible! ”

He did not reply to Vajra Protector's question, and his face was fearless.

The Buddha did not speak, but he noticed that the Bodhisattva around him had a somewhat changed expression.

"White Lotus Bodhisattva, what do you want to say?"

Her mood was a little confused.

Because this swordsman is the swordsman who saved herself from the cottage back then, and it is the hero who pulled her out of the river that she suddenly remembered at this moment.

"World-honored, can you ...... Cut somebody some slack? ”

The Buddha did not expect her to say this, but he also found the cause in the intricate cause and effect.

"Do you know that he once slaughtered living beings and countless souls under his sword?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know that he doesn't respect the Fa-rectification and takes over adultery?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know that he is greedy and obsessive, and talks nonsense about the Dharma?"

"I don't know."

The Buddha is silent, the Bodhisattva is silent, and the gods and Buddhas are silent all over the mountain.

The World-Honored Buddha did not dispose of the swordsman and let him go.

However, from this day on, the White Lotus Bodhisattva was criticized by countless monks and believers, and the statue was also dragged out of the Mahavira Hall and smashed to pieces.

And she didn't care.

But the swordsman was chased out of the spiritual mountain, and the Garuda Bodhisattva was chased back again.

This time, Shizun was not on her side again.

To be precise, the World-Honored One did not appear.

No one listened to her plea, and the end was that the swordsman could not escape death, and was smashed by the judicial arhat with a palm, and his soul was scattered.

Perhaps unwilling, or disheartened, she planned to go to the Bodhi tree to ask the Lord the reason for this.

The outcome of their conversation is not known to outsiders, but one sentence can be heard:

"Why is it that he may kill and no man shall kill him? Just because he saved you? ”

On that same day, the White Lotus Bodhisattva was shattered into his Dharma body, transformed into twelve lotus seeds, and fell back into the Red Dust Realm.

……

Speaking of this, the Xuankong Arhat asked with some questioning:

"Why?"

"I don't know."

The white-clothed bodhisattva couldn't say a reason, so he could only shake his head gently.

But they heard an answer:

"Probably people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?"

Several people looked at Chen Liu on the side in some surprise.

Chen Liu Zhengniu drank the tea, a little embarrassed.

"Then why is it that he can kill and no man can kill him?"

The Xuankong Arhat then asked.

Chen Liu thought for a moment and replied:

"Yes, of course you should kill it, why not kill it? But you kill and kill, and you don't allow others to say two unfair words? ”

“……”

Chen Liu's words suddenly opened everyone's minds.

It turns out that it can be unreasonable?

"Truth must be spoken, and rules must be maintained. But just like parents who kill someone, even if you know that they are guilty, can you deal with it impartially and without emotion? Even if you feel that the handling is right, don't you want them to live? The White Lotus Bodhisattva, protecting that swordsman, is definitely wrong in terms of reason, but isn't it normal emotionally? ”

"Is it possible to do things as long as you talk about emotions?"

"Naturally not, it should be punished as it should be. If the White Lotus Bodhisattva broke the rules, he was punished, and he was expelled from the Mahavira Treasure Hall, or he deserved to break the Dharma Body. But then again, rules and emotions are really two different lines. She spoke for the swordsman, and it was really a normal emotional outpouring. Bodhisattvas, feeling sentient, not ruthless. Dharma is also a sentient Dharma, not a ruthless Dharma. ”

The words are like golden beads falling to the ground, and the words are loud and sound.

Feel affectionate, not ruthless; There is a sentient law, not a ruthless law.

The Xuankong Arhat chanted a Buddha horn for a long time, and his mood actually made a breakthrough.

Monks, there is a madness, a leaf of obscuration, not to see Mount Tai.

However, the authorities were confused, and the bystanders were clear, which really shattered the long-standing doubts in his heart.

"Yes, love is love, law is law, although the two intersect, but after all, they are not the same thing. Legal principles are nothing more than reasonable, but they cannot encompass all reasonableness. ”

The Xuankong Arhat then asked:

"Dare to ask the benefactor, why did that Jizo King Bodhisattva fall into the River Styx?"

"I don't really know. However, he probably thinks that the creatures in the world, no matter how good and evil they once were, will eventually have the possibility of change. He believes that there are sentient beings in the world and sentient beings, so he emotionally said that hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. ”

"Good, good! Amitabha! ”

Suddenly, the Buddha's light appeared on the Xuankong Arhat's body, and the light was shining, so that everyone couldn't open their eyes and look directly.

His Arhat Dharma Appearance disintegrated inch by inch, and then a more majestic Venerable Dharma Statue was born from it.

"Ness, the enemy is getting stronger."

Although Chen Liu didn't know much about the cultivation realm of Buddhism, he was basically sure that the Xuankong Arhat should have broken through.

Wouldn't it be too simple, just a mouthful? Why can't I!

"No, Xiao Ahuan originally had the endowment of a bodhisattva, probably because I still had her affairs, and my mood was stained with dust. Until now, you have enlightened it with one word. He stepped into the Venerable realm at this moment, and although he still had the strength of the three grades, it was no longer the same day. ”

Chen Liu was distracted for a while, so that the woman in red read her mind again.

"Sister, I was born with this, and I can't learn it."

Seeing that he was reading the idea again, Chen Liu had no choice but to recite the scriptures again to block this induction.

Xuankong Arhat, no, it is already time to talk about Venerable at this moment, the golden light on his body gradually became restrained, and the huge Dharma Appearance was also taken back by him, just like an ordinary person.

However, everyone knows that he is a Buddha Venerable who has become more powerful.

He stepped back into the boat and saluted Chen Liu very solemnly.

This kind of guidance is really like the world's own person!

"I don't know the donor, would you like to go back to Vulture Mountain with me? The poor monk is willing to devote his life to spreading this way of happiness and compassion to all sentient beings! The donor can also become a Buddha master! ”

A Venerable One's promise, even on Vulture Mountain, is loud and clear.

One line Buddha master, this is an unimaginable position.

"No, no, I love the hills and mountains, but if I can't understand it, I can't enter Buddhism."

Just as Xuankong was about to continue the persuasion, a faint voice came to warn, and he had to dismiss this idea for the time being.

"I hope the donor will think about it."

Chen Liu naturally couldn't enter Buddhism.

If he is said to have understanding, although he borrowed other people's scriptures, he also has it.

However, Jingzhao Mansion, the pole beater, Qin Tianjian, Jiang Yuan, and Qingyang's little sister, he was not reluctant.
