Chapter 352: The Bodhisattva's Entrustment
Seeing the girl in front of him, Ao Qing was not surprised.
King Jizo Bodhisattva was originally a light-eyed woman and a Brahmin woman who saved his mother, and he was already familiar with this legend.
Although, in the subsequent reincarnation, the Jizo King Bodhisattva also had many male incarnations, this did not prevent her from appearing in her original form. What's more, some of those incarnations have not even been born yet.
For example, one of them is the incarnation of the Silla prince "Kim Jo Kyaw", which was during the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, having said that, there are very few cases where the Jizo King Bodhisattva usually appears in his true form.
Most of the time, it should be the "dharma image" on the Buddha statue.
The Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas of Buddhism all appear in this way when they are solemn.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is an exception. Because, Guanyin Bodhisattva's Dharma is like coming on the other side. Of course, having said that, Guanyin Bodhisattva also has many bodhisattva dharma manifestations as incarnations.
What Ao Qing didn't expect was that the King of Jizo Bodhisattva would see himself as a girl. Although this can be regarded as her "true appearance", it is still rare.
For example, Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun.
Ao Qing has seen Taiyi save the suffering Tianzun, which is the image of a middle-aged Taoist. But Ao Qing knew that his true appearance was a boy who looked a little younger than Nezha.
It's just that when Taiyi saved the suffering Tianzun and met with him, he didn't use that true appearance.
"I've seen the Jizo King Bodhisattva." Ao Qing looked towards the girl and saluted slightly.
King Jizo Bodhisattva nodded slightly, folded his hands, and lowered his gaze: "Amitabha, I have heard the name of the Emperor of Divine Light for a long time, and I can only see it today, and it is an honor to be overwhelmed."
"Where, where." Ao Qing replied: "I don't know if the Bodhisattva invited me over, what advice do you have? If it is about the Dharma, I should have come to visit the Bodhisattva, but I should not have been invited by the Bodhisattva."
To be honest, Ao Qing actually has nothing to talk about with the King of the Earth Bodhisattva.
The great supernatural powers of the Holy Realm have their own persistence. It is not impossible to discuss the law, but it is also mainly based on reference.
The Buddhism of the King of the Earth may have some reference for Ao Qing. After all, Ao Qing has three teachings.
But Ao Qing's Buddhism has little reference significance for the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth.
Because Ao Qing's Buddhism is more of the "Three Vehicles" of the Buddha today. And the King of the Earth Bodhisattva is actually a great supernatural person of the ancient Buddhism.
Yes.
Since the death of the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth can now be said to be almost the only ancient Buddha Bodhisattva in the Three Realms who has not yet gone to the other side.
Perhaps this is also related to her grand wish "Hell is not empty, and I vow not to become a Buddha".
When the Jizo King Bodhisattva heard this, he shook his head slightly:
"On the Dharma, it comes second. In the future, as long as the emperor wishes, there is time. Today, I invite the emperor to come, one is to be instructed by the Bodhi patriarch to assist the emperor. Second, in fact, there are other things to trouble the emperor, and I hope the emperor will allow it."
"Something else?"
Ao Qing looked at the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
Patriarch Bodhi had already greeted the Bodhisattva, the King of Jizo, and the Emperor Xudu. This, he knows.
Although I don't know what Emperor Xudu is like, the Jizo King Bodhisattva is obviously very good at talking.
However, now it seems that the Jizo King Bodhisattva also asks for himself?
King Jizo Bodhisattva said:
"To tell you the truth, I do have one thing that I have to ask the emperor."
"What?"
King Jizo Bodhisattva said, "I don't know if the emperor saw me as he was, but did he know the story of my previous body and the Brahmin woman?"
Of course, Ao Qing knew, "But when his mother hurt his merits, the Bodhisattva made a great wish with his true appearance, vowing to save the world, all the hells and all the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms in the next hundreds of billions of eons. The Bodhisattva's great wish for compassion and filial piety to heaven and earth is also very much admired by me."
King Jizo's eyes lit up and he nodded, "The emperor has praised it."
Ao Qing's mind turned, and he suddenly asked, "Mo."
Not...... What the Bodhisattva has entrusted is related to the Lingtang?"
Ao Qing thought about it carefully, for this bodhisattva, the most important thing is great compassion and great filial piety.
Even, in fact, filial piety is more moving than compassion.
Yes.
It is also different from Guanyin Bodhisattva. King Jizo Bodhisattva saved the suffering of the common people, and at first it was to save her mother!
Perhaps, for the Jizo King Bodhisattva, great filial piety is above the great wish.
The great wish of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, even if it is Ao Qing, there is nothing he can do. But if it were to take care of the mother of King Jizo Bodhisattva, he would still have the ability.
"Please take a look at the Emperor." The Bodhisattva of the Earth King stood up, bowed slightly, and invited Ao Qing to go to a dharma. Seeing this, Ao Qing followed into the depths of Cuiyun Palace.
Stepping over the threshold, the light suddenly shined, but when he saw the world change, he suddenly changed from the courtyard to the appearance of a big world.
The golden light of heaven and earth is infinite, there are countless Buddha sounds singing, and the earth is full of awe-inspiring vitality.
"Here?"
"Here, it's a small world I've created, called Sanssouci Land." King Jizo Bodhisattva said, "My mother is on the land."
She raised her hand and pointed, and Ao Qing really saw a woman dressed gracefully and luxuriously, about twenty or thirty years old, living in the Buddha country.
There is no doubt that the woman is the mother of the Earth King Tibetan Bodhisattva.
As for this worry-free land. It is also recorded in Buddhist scriptures.
After making a great wish and attaining the Bodhisattva Dharmakaya, the first thing he did was to create the Land of Carefree and send his mother here.
Ao Qing asked, "I wonder what the Bodhisattva wants to entrust me?"
King Jizo Bodhisattva sighed deeply:
"I've heard that the Emperor has created an Eastern Divine Light World. I would like to ask the emperor to send my mother into the world of divine light and take care of it. That's it, and nothing else."
Ao Qing frowned slightly.
Sending the Mother Buddha into her own world of divine light?
Why is that?
He looked at the Jizo King Bodhisattva and asked, "I don't know the Bodhisattva, among the Three Realms...... But what's about to happen?"
Ao Qing is well aware of the great filial piety of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
It is said that unless it is a last resort, it is impossible for King Jizo Bodhisattva to send his mother into the world created by other great supernatural beings.
Don't say it's yourself. Even Elysium is impossible.
I have only one side of the relationship with the King of the Earth Bodhisattva.,Although I've heard of the name for a long time.,But I don't know who it is.。
Why, would she do it?
There is only one possibility that Ao Qing can think of, and that is...... There may be a great crisis in the Three Realms!
Really.
Jizo King Bodhisattva said:
"This is because the era of Fa-rectification and imagery is coming to an end. The end of the law is coming, and there is a fear of chaos in the Three Realms. Even I have the possibility of passing away. Only you, the Divine Light Emperor, can still protect yourself."
Ao Qing was stunned: "If the end of the Dharma is really coming, why does the Bodhisattva believe in me alone?"
King Jizo Bodhisattva said:
"Because, your world of divine light is exactly the same as the great dream world of Amitabha Buddha long ago. If this is the case, even if the Dharma is ended, it will not be violated. Maybe that's why Shakyamuni trusted you so much!
