Chapter 321: Abandoned Buddha
Because all famous people must have magical legends, and it is understandable that future generations will embellish them.
For example, Han Gaozu was just a second-rate son at the beginning, and later became the founding emperor, and was mythologized as him beheading the white snake.
There are also people who impose that Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han is the white snake that Liu Bang cut off at the beginning and came back to take revenge, since you cut me in two, then I will also toss your Han Dynasty in half.
Yue Fei is said to be the reincarnation of the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird, which can also fight well, be jealous of evil, and defend the country.
Let's take a look at the legend of Yue Fei, it is said that the Buddha opened an altar in Lingshan to preach, such as preaching everything can be heard, a grass and a worm can be. During this period, a toad farted, and we also know that according to Buddhist texts, the golden-winged Dapeng bird is one of the eight heavenly dragons.
The Golden-winged Roc likes to eat dragons, and the dragons we respect as gods are spicy strips to it, but I don't think this is reliable.
One is that this is a myth and legend, and the other is that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has always existed since ancient times, and the dragon, as one of the totems of our country, is unlikely to be eaten as spicy noodles.
And the most important point is that there is a place called Hualong Pond in the spiritual mountain of the Buddha, that is, if you throw a fish into the pool, you will become a dragon.
But this kind of dragon made of carp does not have the blood and aura of the dragon family, but only has a dragon body, which is specially used for the upper class to eat and drink.
To put it bluntly, it is to eat fish, but the fish has a different image and looks a little more high-end.
It's like a basin with gold edges.
The Eight Heavenly Dragons are the protectors of Buddhism, so the golden-winged Dapeng bird pecked the toad to death.
If the Buddha is a man of great compassion, when he saw that Dapeng had committed the killing precept, he gave him thirty-nine golden beans, degraded to the mortal world, and reincarnated as Yue Fei.
The toad that was pecked to death became Qin Hui's wife, and in the process of reincarnation, he pecked a centipede to death, this centipede is Qin Hui, and the back is Qin Hui's harm to Yue Fei, everyone knows.
And after his reincarnation, the word Pengju also sounds a bit like the meaning of Dapeng, and the thirty-nine gold pills symbolize his thirty-nine years of life.
Note: This story comes from "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue", and this book is similar to our online article today, which has no basis at all.
Anyway, the ancients always liked to associate some fierce birds and beasts with some big people, and our descendants should only see it, so we don't have to be more serious.
"What's so unusual about being here?" I didn't understand, so I asked, this god statue has three heads and six arms, and the fierce god is evil, so it is not mighty.
"It stands to reason that it is impossible for King Gesar to appear here, unless this Great Compassion Temple was built by Tantric monks." Xiao Yuntian looked a little puzzled.
It's like having different beliefs, so the bodhisattvas enshrined are also different.
Anyway, I didn't see anyone at the temple to worship Athena.
"This idol...... It was Shakyamuni. Xiao Yuntian spun around again.
I followed him like a fart and asked, "Is there anything special about Shakyamuni's appearance in the temple, isn't it normal?" ”
】
"No, look." Xiao Yuntian shook his head.
I looked at it and found that this idol was indeed very different from the Shakyamuni we usually came into contact with.
The Shakyamuni we saw was solemn, and his head was full of flesh, we didn't understand when we read Journey to the West when we were children, thinking that the Buddha had a full head.
Actually, it's not a bun, it's a bun.
This thing can't be grown by anyone, and the flesh bun on the head needs 12,000 years of cultivation.
This kind of bun is not something that anyone can have, it is one of the 32 aspects of the Buddha, and it is a very noble Buddha statue.
It is called "top bun phase", not only after Shakyamuni became a Buddha, but also all Buddhas and all bodhisattvas have grown flesh buns.
The more buns, the deeper the mana.
In Buddhism, we pay attention to attaining enlightenment and enlightenment, and the Buddha represents the highest state of Buddhism to attain enlightenment. There are 32 kinds of Buddha appearances, and the "meat bun" is one of the Buddha appearances after attaining enlightenment, and it is also one of the most important Buddha appearances.
And there is a red spot in the middle of the Buddha's forehead, just like a beauty mole, and Guanyin Bodhisattva also has it.
When I was a child, I watched TV and thought it was just for a good look.
But in fact, this red dot also has a great origin, it is called "Baihao Phase", which is one of the 32 phases of the Buddha.
White millimeter between the eyebrows: between the two eyebrows, there is white millimeter, soft as a pocket, one zhang and five feet long, right-handed and retracted, with its frequent light, so it is called millilight, eyebrows light. That's why it's the white light phase.
When practicing the bodhisattva path, countless generations have preached the Dharma, and it is true.
But the idol in front of me doesn't match these appearances.
I was stunned and asked, "Are you sure this is Shakyamuni?" ”
"Yes, but it's not Shakyamuni who has the golden body of Zhangliu, but the corpse of the Buddha."
Because Shakyamuni is the seventh image of the Buddha, there are six images before that.
The Buddha is the second of the seven Buddhas in the past, and the seven Buddhas in the past refer to the seven Buddhas who are closest to us in terms of age, and the closest one is Shakyamuni Buddha. According to the first volume of the Buddhist scripture "Chang A Han Sutra", the seven Buddhas in the past were: Buddha of the corpse, Buddha of the corpse, Buddha of Vaishava, Buddha of Kulou Sun, Buddha of Kannahan, Buddha of Kasa and Buddha Shakyamuni.
Among them, the first three are the three Buddhas of the solemn tribulation in the past, and the last four are the four Buddhas of the present virtuous calamity.
The corpse of the Buddha is also translated as the style of the Buddha, the style of the abandonment or the style of the abandonment, etc., which is translated as the top bun, the holding of the bun, the bun, or the fire head, the big and the top.
There is a saying: "The creation of all good karma is illusory, and the creation of all kinds of bad karma is also illusory. The body is like a gathering foam, and the heart is like the wind, and there is no root and no substance. The "Chang Ah Han Sutra" clouds: "When the life span is 70,000 years old, this Buddha is born."
The corpse abandoned Buddha in the solemn calamity period, is the 999th, belongs to the Kshari royal race, Kuri Ruo is his surname, and lives in the city of light. He once spoke for the people under the Fendris tree, and the Dharma was said three times, and the number of people was as high as 250,000. He had two high-footed disciples, one was Abhifu and the other was the third mother-in-law, and his attendant was Shinobu.
This is probably similar to our Taoism's one-qi transformation of the three purities, whether it is a bodhisattva or an immortal, it all needs a steady stream of practice.
Even to the point of being a Buddha, you have to practice.
