Hearing this, Li Daoxuan and the others were all moved.

No wonder a monk like Bodhidharma would die from the mouth of a poisonous snake, it turned out that the real murderer was Moro.

The old master said loudly: "I see, I once heard the master say, the Bodhidharma monk in Songshan for nine years, at that time, there was a small Xiao did not want to see his preaching, so he deliberately poisoned, as a result, the Bodhidharma monk was not afraid, a series of dozens of intestinal poison, in the end not only did not die, but the spirit was bright, cultivated into a golden body!" ”

"At that time, I was very puzzled, why would the Dharma monks, who can't help dozens of poisonous poisons, be afraid of a poisonous snake? Now it seems that everything makes sense. ”

Li Daoxuan nodded, and at the same time thought about it.

Bodhidharma is the ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains, and he has also cultivated a golden body, and his mana is so high that he may have stepped into the realm of immortals above the Yang God Realm, even so, he was planted in the hands of Moro, which shows that the other party is indeed unfathomable.

Sanle continued: "Bodhidharma died at the hands of Moro, but Moro did not pay a price, he was seriously injured, and after that, he recuperated for decades, until the end of the Sui Dynasty, when he came out again to stir up the storm. ”

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, no wonder before the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was no trace of Moro Sect's activities, it turned out that Moro at that time was injured by Bodhidharma and was in a dormant state.

"Master, what does this matter have to do with Maha?"

Sanle's gaze was very complicated, and he sighed, "This is about to mention the second sentence of the Maha's poem." ”

"I met a monk on the river and got married to Bodhi by mistake?"

"Exactly, the Jiangshang monk it met by chance is Bodhidharma, as for the so-called Bodhi Yuan, it refers to the incorruptible golden body left behind after Bodhidharma's death."

Li Daoxuan's inspiration flashed, he suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Could it be that Maha's golden body is the body of Bodhidharma back then?" ”

If you say that, then a lot of things can be explained.

Why does Maha obviously not have the state of mind and virtue of a high monk, but he has a vast Buddha power, and has a golden body that countless Buddhist disciples can hardly reach in their lifetimes.

Because Maha is simply Li Dai Taozhuang, stealing the fruits of Bodhidharma's lifelong penance!

Sure enough, Sanle nodded and said: "Li Xiaoyou guessed well, when Bodhidharma fought with Moro on Luoshui, he was seriously injured and dying, and at this time a poisonous snake crawled down the river and completely bit it to death, and that poisonous snake was Maha who lived in Xuanshui. ”

"Then Moro had a whim, he extracted the soul of the poisonous snake and transferred it to the golden body of Bodhidharma, in an attempt to cultivate a powerful subordinate, and gave it the name Maha, which means immeasurable and great in Sanskrit, and it is obvious that Moro has high hopes for it."

"It's a pity that although Maha stole Bodhidharma's golden body, he is not as good as Bodhidharma after all, his realm has slipped, and he has been practicing penance for decades, and in the end he is only the realm of the yang god."

At this point, the origin of Maha's heels has been fully explained, and Li Daoxuan suddenly realized, and suddenly figured out a lot of details that were difficult to understand before.

For example, why Maha's Vajra phase has two sides, one is as compassionate as a Buddha and the other is evil as a demon.

For example, why is the other party's golden body so hard, but he is a little afraid of the little white snake in his sleeve.

Now it seems that it is because Bodhidharma finally died in the mouth of the poisonous snake, so his golden body will leave flaws, and it can be said that it is a drink and a peck, all of which are days.

Taizhen suddenly laughed and said: "No wonder there is an allusion in this world that only goes west, it seems that the Dharma that Song Yun saw back then was not the real Dharma, but the Maha who had been possessed by poisonous snakes." ”

The so-called only returning to the west refers to the fact that after the death of Bodhidharma, Song Yun, the envoy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, on the way back to Luojing from the Western Regions, passed by the Green Ridge and saw Bodhidharma with bare feet, a tin staff in one hand, and a shoe in the other, heading to the Western Regions.

After he returned to Beijing, he reported the matter to the emperor, and the civil and military officials were shocked, because Bodhidharma had already died and could not appear in Luling.

Later, the emperor ordered someone to dig up Bodhidharma's grave and found that the coffin was empty, and only one shoe remained.

This is the origin of the return to the west.

Sanle sighed: "Although Maha occupies the golden body of Bodhidharma, it is not happy for him, because he can hear a certain Sanskrit sound day and night, which is Bodhidharma's obsession, in order to resolve the obsession, he wants to fulfill Bodhidharma's last wish to go to the Western Lingshan to find the Sanzang Sutra, but after 20 years of trekking, no trace has been found." ”

"Finally he gradually became crazy in the haunting sound of chanting day and night, and an unrestrained snake demon actually began to read Buddhist scriptures, in fact, he did not like Buddhist scriptures, but doing so would make him feel better."

"Later, he completely lost himself and fell into the obsession of Bodhidharma, and he made a great wish that even if he could not find the Sanzang Sutra, he would promote Buddhism in the world."

Taizhen suddenly asked, "Isn't this also a good thing for you Buddhists?" ”

Sanle smiled bitterly: "The female benefactor said that she laughed, Maha inherited Bodhidharma's golden body and obsession, but did not inherit Bodhidharma's cultivation, knowledge, bearing, mind, compassion and exquisite Buddhism, how can she inherit such a heavy obsession?" ”

"That's why he is called an evil Buddha, acting unscrupulously, and has fallen into the devil's path."

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but nod his head when he thought of what Maha and his disciples had done, indeed, although his goal was to promote the Dharma, what he did had already seriously deviated from the Dharma.

When the Buddha was chased by an eagle to save a pigeon, he did not hesitate to cut the meat to feed the eagle, the heart of compassion touched the world, and Maha was good, completely regarded human life as a mustard, from the Turks to Chang'an, along the way, I don't know how many people were bewitched by his Sanskrit sound and died.

Those who can make great aspirations must have the inner cultivation and mind pattern that matches it, such as the Jizo Bodhisattva who does not swear to become a Buddha in hell.

If you have no supernatural powers and no mind, you will soon lose yourself under the pressure and go to extremes.

"Fortunately, before Maha died, he finally let go of his obsession, and only then did he have the last four sentences, ninety years of Sanskrit sound, and his dreams are boundless. Today, I went alone, and I counted three thousand. ”

Sanle clasped his hands together and sighed softly.

Li Daoxuan was slightly stunned, he remembered Maha's last words before he died.

"Sanle, I have been reciting Buddhist scriptures for 90 years, and in the end I found that my favorite thing is still the soft mud of those years."

……

He sighed a little in his heart, Maha was both lucky and unfortunate in this life, fortunately he easily obtained a powerful golden body of Buddhism and most of his cultivation, easily stepped into the Yang God Realm, and became one of the strongest people in the world.

Unfortunately, the obsession that accompanies strength makes him gradually lose himself.

He remembered the ease and relief that Maha had shown when his golden body was thoroughly refined by the true fire of Samadhi, and perhaps that moment was the most relaxed moment he had in more than 90 years.

"Master, what is the relationship between you and Maha, and why are you the deputy head of the Moro Sect?"

Sanle seemed to recall that dusty time for a long time, and his expression was complicated, and he said, "When Bodhidharma died, I was already the deputy head of the Moro religion, and when Moro was seriously injured, he handed over the Maha to me to teach. ”

Li Daoxuan secretly slandered himself, no wonder Maha has such complicated feelings for Sanle, and there is a trace of admiration, it seems that in his heart, he regards Sanle as a master.

"Amitabha, but what Moro didn't know was that the poor monk actually wanted to kill Maha many times at that time, so as to avenge my best friend, Bodhidharma."

"But every time I can't do it, because every time I see Maha, it's like I see ...... Sympathetic self. ”
